Chapter 1315 Yizhou for Jingzhou
"This time, I have solved five shadows for my uncle. Uncle, Ma Chao really attaches great importance to your every move.
This young and beautiful woman spoke lightly, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were horrified at the same time. I don't know what will happen to the owner of the five thumbs.
However, it's just creepy. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could never be scared by these five fingers, let alone be scared by Cao Jie's carefully prepared words. They just suddenly found Cao Jie's true nature and felt her cruel and changeable heart.
"Outside the restaurant, these five shadows have been waiting at several exits at the end of the restaurant road. Although they are very hidden, Jing'an Cao and Shadow are old enemies. It's not difficult to find them." Cao Jie glanced at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang with a smile. After looking at the two as if they were worried, he said, "Fortunately, Uncle Huang had already arranged Chen to be a stand-in in the mansion and came to this restaurant in advance. Otherwise, when the uncle appears after the event, the news of the uncle's secret meeting with Zhang Song tonight may turn into a report on Ma Chao's desk.
Speaking of this, Cao Jie shook his head and looked regretfully: "It's a pity that this move is to drink poison to quench thirst. We are safe tonight, but Ma Chao will know at dawn at the latest. The accidental death of five shadows will make him more interested in what happened tonight. If the shadow wants to find out, it must be found out. In this way, it will be difficult for the emperor to gain a foothold in Xiangyang..."
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang both know that Cao Jie is by no means exaggerated. Moreover, they also know that Shadow has always been Ma Chao's heart, and Ma Chao will definitely find out! Cao Jie said it well this time, but she deliberately killed the five shadows, which was actually a very obscure way to force Liu Bei to comply!
Therefore, when Cao Jie's words had been so clear, Liu Bei no longer pretended to be a loyal fool. He slowly stood up and stared at Cao Jie's eyes for a long time. Until Cao Jie couldn't figure out what Liu Bei wanted to do and shift his eyes, Liu Bei laughed loudly: "You really are Your Majesty's imperial concubine, this tone is really the same as our emperor. If I, Liu Bei, am an ordinary person, maybe I will really be shocked by you, but..."
At this time, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly azen and said in a low voice, "But a Han emperor with a false reputation and house arrest actually wanted to override me and control 30,000 soldiers, which is simply ridiculous!"
Cao Jie was excited by Liu Bei's words and turned red. In particular, she couldn't imagine why Liu Bei guessed her last intention at once and didn't speculate about her father Cao Cao at all... Has she really been changed by the name of 'imperial concubine' in her life? Heart?
Cao Jie suddenly appeared for a moment and did not sneer at Liu Bei. Liu Bei is right. A Han room that once had at least the reputation of Weiyi has indeed been played with by his husband, like a stone in the toilet, smelly, hard and disliked by people. And until this time, he was still thinking about the backyard to blossom... Why is such a man so unconceive and stupid?!
I don't know how long it took, and Liu Bei stretched out his hand to point to Cao Jie, which was a little embarrassed. Because he saw that Cao Jie's eyes were already full of tears, and the silent and painful tears, no matter who looked at them, they couldn't help but feel heartache. Even though the two were still tit-for-tat before, Liu Bei's heart was strange and confused at this time.
The Sichuan event and the woman's tears, these two things should not have intersect at all, making the whole cellar silent. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, especially Pang Tong at this time. In the face of the contemptuous and angry eyes of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, he learned Ma Chao's movements and shrugged his hands, indicating that he did not know what happened to Cao Jie.
Unfortunately, his appearance and figure were a little obscene. Instead of being innocent as Ma Chao, he looked funny. Liu Bei's face has changed several times, and he doesn't know whether to be angry or laugh. Zhuge Liang couldn't help picking up the goose feather fan to cover his face, but his occasionally trembling shoulders also betrayed his expression at this time.
Now, Cao Jie is crying, Liu Bei is struggling, and Zhuge Liang is laughing. But Pang Tong looked at Zhuge Liang and said loudly, "I have guessed your plan*, and Ma Chao will know it in less than three days at most. If Uncle Huang still has no good plan to enter Sichuan, I'm afraid it's not the time to be arrogant at this moment, right?
When Liu Bei heard the words, his face suddenly turned cold. He looked at the Pang Tong in front of him, and a trace of suspicion rose in his eyes: this extremely smart guy, on the surface, he is a servant of the Han Dynasty, but no one will be stupid enough to take this identity seriously. At the same time, he has also cooperated with Cao's Jing'an Cao, and Cao Cao seems to praise him a lot. Fan wanted to take over the past; in addition, his relationship with Ma Chao was also very strange. He seemed to be hostile, but he offered advice to Ma Chao during the war of Huarong. In the end, he seemed to accept his kindness completely, as if he were working around a fish in the whirlpools of various storms, and his political position was very vague.
And at this time, he revealed that he seemed to help him send troops to Xichuan... What on earth does such a smart teenager with a vague political position want to do?
Liu Bei did not dare to believe Pang Tong. He defected several times and had already seen through the entanglement of interests, let alone believed that someone would help others for no reason. Therefore, he would rather believe in Zhuge Liang. At least, although Zhuge Liang seems to be no less than this Pang Tong, his expression is very clear: compared with Guan Zhong Leyi, he should assist the hero of King Huan of Qi and King Yan Zhao, create a hegemonic foundation, and remain famous for thousands of years!
However, when Liu Bei turned his inquiry eyes to Zhuge Liang, he saw that Zhuge Liang's expression also flashed a trace of hesitation. But then, Zhuge Liang nodded gently, indicating that Liu Bei could trust Pang Tong.
In this way, even though Liu Bei still had doubts, he respectfully and gently asked Pang Tong, "Does Mr. Pang have a clever plan?"
Pang Tong smiled slightly, took a look at Cao Jie, and motioned Cao Jie to tell the plan, but Cao Jie was still immersed in his pain and was not in any mood to speak. Pang Tong swept it with contempt, and then said, "Does uncle know about the Qin general Wang Jian's field and self-polity in the Warring States Period?"
Pang Tong told a story about Wang Jian, a general of the State of Qin. At that time, Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu, and the King of Qin was sent to Ba. At the time of parting, Wang Jian made a request to the king of Qin for Tianzhai Garden. The king of Qin felt puzzled and asked, "The general is of great achievements and is about to fight on the front line. Are you still worried about the poverty of his family?" Wang Jian replied, "While the king still can still use me, set up some family property for his descendants first." On the way, he sent someone to invite Shantian five times. Someone scolded him for begging too much. He said, "It's not like this. King Qin is suspicious. Now that I lead all the elite soldiers in the country, I don't ask for more rewards. Does he suspect me?" Later, Wang Jian's land became a classic fact for ministers to defile themselves to protect themselves.
Liu Bei can't put it down, and naturally knows this allusion. However, he did not understand Pang Tong's meaning and asked doubtfully, "In those years, Wang Jian sent troops by the king of Qin, but now he wants to get rid of Ma Chao. Even if he wants to defile himself, he must be able to afford Ma Chao with some beautiful houses..."
"Self-pollution is not just a beautiful house in Liangtian. Uncle, what do you think Ma Chao valued when he chose you to enter Jingzhou?"
In the face of such a reminder from Pang Tong, Liu Bei is still a little confused even though he is a hero. But Zhuge Liang behind him had already understood Pang Tong's intention and said, "No, if you use this plan, Jingzhou will completely have nothing to do with the master!"
"What else do you want to change from Yizhou to Jingzhou?" Pang Tong was unwilling to show weakness and immediately replied, "In the face of Jingzhou, where Ma Chao controls the military and politics, how many achievements can you do?! Yizhou, which may be well-known in the future, and Jingzhou, which can only be controlled by the Ma family, are two very simple choices, won't you?!"
"No, Jingzhou is the cornerstone of the world, and the lord must not abandon it. If you lose Jingzhou and go to a corner of Yizhou, I'm afraid that you will only have the power to protect yourself in the future, and there will be no more momentum to send troops to the world!" Zhuge Liang was rarely excited. His political plan did not allow Pang Tong to come to point out.
But at this time, Liu Bei seemed to hear some signs and said coldly, "How is it a method of changing Yizhou for Jingzhou? ......”
