Chapter 1258 Opportunity

"Mu Zhuangshi entered Xuchang for the purpose of his majesty's order to fight against Cao Cao's clothes?!!" Liu Bei's face was full of surprise. He looked back at Zhuge Liang's warm and bright eyes. He could never imagine that Zhuge Liang's expectation was true!

"Naturally, for the sake of clothes and edicts, everyone in the world thinks that the imperial mausoleum has been burned, and there is already a lot of inside stories, but they don't know that there are many mysteries..." Mu Yang hiccups with wine, and his eyes were almost unable to open. The only thing that saw a bed in the dizzy, he threw himself in ** like a dead pig, and continued to hum and say drunken words: "The world, the world, look down on the shadow too much. It's too, too underestimated the master... Above the shadow is politics, it's a conspiracy, not something we can get to know..."

The last sentence can be said to be the voice of the shadow, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang can't care about sighing several times. At this time, the three people were in Mu Yang's bedroom. The previous banquet may be Mu Yang's love for Chang'an, or maybe he doesn't like Zhang Fei. Anyway, after the five flavors, Mu Yang toasted with the famous generals and counselors under Liu Bei one by one, especially finally wine to Zhang Fei. Everyone also had this intention. After a while, Mu Yang was very drunk.

The banquet was prepared for Mu Yang, and Liu Bei, as the master, had the friendship of the landlord. However, after chatting on the road, Mu Yang suddenly seemed to feel something and expressed his anger and reluctance that he was driven out of the shadow by Ma Chao, and then talked about the glory and importance of the shadow. After that drunken speech, Liu Bei was intermittent and unintentionally picking up at the beginning, to listening later, and finally his face changed greatly, which was extremely wonderful.

"How can a military division, a spy force, influence the overall situation of the world so?" Looking at Mu Yang, who was already snoring, Liu Bei sat down in a chair and asked Zhuge Liang. Although he also kept the establishment of a spy force in mind before, he couldn't wait at this time.

"A sharp blade is a sharp weapon for chivalry and righteousness in the hands of the ranger, and it can only be hung on the sword rack in the hands of merchants." Zhuge Liang was a little light and led the topic back to the topic: "I can't imagine that Ma Chao pinched Cao's lifeline so much. In this way, if the lord wants to make a difference in Jingzhou, Cao's reaction is definitely unbelievable." After a pause, Zhuge Liang said again, "Also, no wonder Cai Mao is now moving frequently and aggressively. It turns out that he is suspicious."

"How do you say this?" Liu Bei was confused and asked tentatively, "Cai Mao has indeed performed martial arts frequently recently and has also had a close relationship with Xiangyang heroes, but are these also related to the Cao family in Yanzhou?"

"The lord doesn't know that behind Cai Mao is most likely Cao Cao. The two had a friendship with their mother in Luoyang. Before that, Cao Cao was worried and confused, and naturally wanted to lead Xu Chang's eyes to the outside. Therefore, after Liu Jingzhou suddenly fell seriously ill, Cai Mao was ready to move, making those people in Xu Changli mistakenly think that Cao would take action against Jingzhou. However, Cao Cao played a pistol, and the front of the soldiers pointed straight to Qingzhou and caught Yuan Tan off guard. But now Cao's lifeline is pinched by Ma Chao, and he has many scruples about the Ma family, and naturally he is unable to get involved in Jingzhou again. Therefore, Cai Mao seems to be aggressive this time, but in fact he wants to calm down the situation.

"With the attack, with the attack without attack, Cai Mao and other means may also have been instructed by Cao Cao." Liu Bei nodded and recognized it, and then he showed the unique habit of an excellent leader and asked, "Military, what can we do now?"

Yes, a good leader never cares how things happen. They only think about how they should deal with it after it happens. After hearing this question, Zhuge Liang's warm face showed a trace of admiration, but he did not answer immediately. Instead, he straightened up, looked at the flowers and plants outside the guest room, and poured the clear water in the cup into the flower garden: "Master, Liang's four major strategy has been told to the master in detail, and the two steps to deal with Jingzhou , the lord has also taken a complete step..."

The first point of Zhuge Liang's two strategies in Jingzhou is to dig the corner of Ma Chao. Speaking of this, the two looked at Mu Yang on the couch at the same time: Although this person rejected Liu Bei's award, he let Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang control his biggest weakness - he did not miss the Ma family, but felt that the chips given by Liu Bei were not yet. Enough. Moreover, after drinking, he personally entered Xuchang to steal clothes and belts, isn't this showing off?

Therefore, in the future, Liu Bei only needs to make heavy profits and give him a false reputation, and this Mu Yang can't escape. Therefore, when the two withdrew their eyes from Mu Yang at the same time, Liu Bei nodded to Zhuge and motioned Zhuge Liang to continue.

"This first step is actually only completed on the surface, but the master must soon be able to use this person like an arm." After Mu Yang's topic passed by little, Zhuge Liang's expression began to be solemn again: "And the second step is a little difficult. Liang knows that the lord has recently dated Liu Qi, the governor of Liu Jing, which is very good. However, originally we thought that Cai Mao might take advantage of Cao's power to support Mrs. Cai's second son Liu Cong to the throne, but at present, it seems that Cai Mao will definitely not act rashly. In the meantime, there must be a change.

"Military, I have always been unclear about the dispute between the legitimate concubines. Liu Qi is cowardly, unwise and greedy for wine and sex, and it is indeed easier to be a puppet. However, after we help him to the position of Jingzhou Assassin like this, can we manipulate Jingzhou at will?

"Naturally, it is not so simple. Provoking the battle between the eldest and the young is nothing more than an opportunity. Jingzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, the scholars and the people are rich, and the three princes of the Ma family, the Cao family and the Sun family are coveted. If we don't provoke this behind-the-scenes forces, how can we act with the camera and how can we take the opportunity to get chestnuts from the fire? Finally, Zhuge Liang still thought that his explanation was not clear enough, and once again said, "Today's Jingzhou is a dead water beach. It looks unusually calm on the surface, but the forces of all sides have long been mixed and difficult to distinguish each other. If there is no gust of wind, how can we stir up the dark tide and then set off thousands of waves?"

"The meaning of the military division is that we should secretly send the wind, and sit firmly on the fishing platform when the waves are raging, and finally wait for the wind to calm down, and then use four taels of force to push a thousand catties to get the whole Jingzhou bag?" Liu Bei couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth for two steps before calming down his excitement: "No wonder the military division has been provoking such unfortunate things. It turns out that only such secret things can be difficult to control and provoke Jingzhou!"

Zhuge Liang did not reply, but Liu Bei was a little restless. He brushed his sleeves back and forth, frowned and said, "But now Cao is worried about the Ma family and dare not touch Jingzhou, and Cai Mao also wants to calm down. There is no reason for this dispute between the concubine, and how can it be provoked?"

The problem is back to a distant point, but it doesn't seem to be difficult for Zhuge Liang. In fact, Liu Bei found that everything seemed to have been expected in front of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang gently shook the goose feather fan, and a sarcastic smile flashed in his eyes: "Master doesn't know that we don't have to blow this gust of wind. I'm afraid Jingzhou will be free from wind and waves? During this period, the lord only needs to settle down his subordinates and continue to associate with the famous family of Jingzhou and Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, according to the plan. Liang dares to guarantee that in less than three days, Liu Jingzhou's serious illness will recur again. And..."

"What?"

"Moreover, this time it will never suddenly improve halfway..."

"The military division means that the person behind the scenes who manipulated Liu Shijun's condition is going to do it again?" Liu Bei touched the person at the end of the material. Zhuge Liang's words came here, and he guessed the aftert: "Who is the person behind the scenes? Is it the Ma family that restrains its claws, the Sun family that has recovered from pain, or the Cao family who is desperate?

Zhuge Liang shook his head. Although he had argued with Ma Chao about this matter in the grassy place, and he knew that Sun Ce would continue to fight against Jingzhou after his injury, he would not tell Liu Bei everything without reservation. Naturally, Liu Bei is also a person who knows love and interests. When he sees Zhuge Liang smiling and saying nothing, he no longer intends to ask questions.

However, at this time, someone suddenly reported outside the door: "Lord, Liu Jingzhou is seriously ill and urgently called the Lord to discuss the matter!"
