Chapter 472 Uncle Liu Meets the Messenger

When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, he was not happy. Instead, he said sadly, "Sir, what's the happy thing about this?! Han Shi Jiangshan disagreed for a day. The community is unstable. People can't live and work in peace and contentment. I can't eat well or sleep well in a day..."

Liu Bei's performance did not make Zhuge Liang feel disgusted and that Liu Bei was acting. From this, Zhuge Liang felt that his original choice was extremely correct, and only "people with lofty aspirations" would not be confused and moved by small achievements, thus breeding a proud mentality.

Zhuge Liang learned from Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui. In addition to having the opportunity to read more books and improve his identity, he also listened to many of Sima Hui's experiences of life. For example, Sima Hui said: Those who learn from me will live, and those who are like me will die; for example, the husband should be high, quiet and distant, indifferent to Mingzhi... Sima Hui's life. Yes, Zhuge Liang will carry forward in practice.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei respectfully and said to Liu Bei emotionally, "Lord, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you don't accumulate steps, how can it lead to a thousand miles? Lord, your grand career, Liang and others will definitely help you complete it! ...At present, according to the situation in the world, if we want to realize your wish, we must do it step by step, step by step!"

Liu Bei smiled with relief when he heard Zhuge Liang's heartfelt words. However, in this way, the pragmatic Liu Bei did not ask Zhuge Liang about the content of the happy event. He only discussed with Zhuge Liang the situation of the First World War in Fufeng County and various possible results later.

At this time, as the herdsman of Jingzhou, Liu Bei also received a message from the central court: Xi Liang's fierce Ma Chao has been identified as a traitor by the court. This big hat is estimated to be removed from the change of dynasty, and Ma Chao will take it for a lifetime. Just based on this announcement, Zhuge Liang, who was so clever, figure out the truth of the confrontation between the two armies on the battlefield of Fufeng County. Later, the information sent back by Jingzhou was very consistent with Zhuge Liang's speculation.

When Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's mood relaxed and happy, he further said, "Lord, the happy thing Liang said is that Yizhou will send people to invite the lord to lead troops to Yizhou... In the final analysis, this matter is also caused by Ma Chao. Ma Chao estimated that he had a secret agreement with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong County. After Ma Chao was defeated, he defected to Zhang Lu. In order to relieve the current crisis, Zhang Lu accepted Ma Chao regardless of the consequences. With the help of Ma Chao, Zhang Lu naturally easily defeated Liu Zhang's troops... Looking at the sky at night, it was speculated that Liu Zhang was already in a crisis at this time, and he would lose his life. And the court will not send troops to support him, and Liu Zhang is unwilling to sit back and wait for death. In order to relieve the crisis he is facing, he can only choose to invite the lord to send troops to Yizhou!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he resisted the surprise in his heart. He pretended to be worried and said, "In terms of generation, Liu Zhang is still Ben Mu's nephew. If Liu Zhang invites Ben Mu to lead the army to Yizhou, Ben Mu will definitely be duty-bound to help him clean up the rebels in Yizhou... However, if our main troops leave Jingzhou, Jiangdong Group will not I will take the opportunity to invade Jingzhou..."

Before, the reason why Liu Bei confiscated the exiles in Yizhou was to consume the resources of the Jiangdong boundary through these more than 100,000 exiles. Originally, Liu Bei, who "loved the people like children", did not agree to do so, but at the strong request of Zhuge Liang, he could only refuse the Yizhou exiles to live in Jingzhou and rush them to the Jiangdong boundary.

Zhuge Liang shook his fan and said to Liu Bei with a smile, "Master, the Jiangdong Group has the assistance of a master at this time. This master will not let the king of Wu Taishici lead the army to invade Jingzhou, but there will be small forces to harass Jingzhou. The purpose is for food and fodder, not for the territory!" .

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, the sadness on his face was swept away. At this time, Zhuge Liang said seriously, "Lord, the terrain of Yizhou is mountainous, and flash floods and mudslides break out every summer... Since then, the topography of Yizhou can be said to be the same year. Lord, Lord, we are going to march in Yizhou to fight. If the geography of the terrain and important military fortresses The location is not familiar, which is like a blind man walking on a cliff..."

When Liu Bei heard the words, he looked down at the map on the table, fixed his eyes on the position of Yizhou, and thought: He really didn't think of the problem described by Zhuge Liang. If the terrain of Yizhou is the same every year, the map in front of you is useless. If you march and fight according to this topographic map, it's unreliable.

Just when the two fell silent. The bodyguard leader came in and reported: Uncle Liu, Yizhou sent an envoy to meet you! Liu Bei suppressed his inner surprise and promised to meet the messenger of Yizhou. When the bodyguard turned around and left, Liu Bei raised his thumbs up at Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang responded with a smile.

However, when the Yizhou messenger walked into the hall, Zhuge Liang looked at it and showed doubt on his face. Liu Bei didn't think there was anything unusual.

Yizhou messengers wear casual clothes and look reserved. After he hurriedly saluted Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang asked, "You are not an envoy sent by the Yizhou official. Who sent you to Jingzhou..."

When the messenger saw that he had not officially spoken, he reported himself to his home. The handsome young man beside Liu Bei saw through his identity. He hurriedly said in horror, "To report to Uncle Liu, the villain is the master of Yizhou who came to meet Uncle Liu secretly..."

When Liu Bei heard the words, he looked at Zhuge Liang doubtfully. Zhuge Liang also shook his head at Liu Bei puzzledly. Just as Zhuge Liang wanted to ask further questions, another bodyguard reported: The messenger from Yizhou came to visit Uncle Liu...

When the messenger in the hall heard this situation, his face was suddenly frightened. He hurriedly said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu, my Lord Fazheng has something important to give you, but the villain does not meet the messenger of Yizhou at this time..."

Liu Bei couldn't make up his mind in the face of the sudden situation. He asked Zhuge Liang with his eyes, and Zhuge Liang immediately said to the messenger, "Little brother, don't panic. You enter the back hall for a while and avoid it!"

The messenger didn't have time to express his gratitude to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, so he was taken into the back hall by the bodyguard. At this time, Liu Bei also agreed to receive the second Yizhou envoy. The second group of messengers, wearing formal official uniforms, walked into the hall with their heads held high. After kneeling down and saluteing with a natural expression, he said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Liu, the humble position is Shi Yangsong, the governor of Yi. Today, he is at the order of Liu Mu in Yizhou to deliver the letter! Uncle Liu, please read the letter!"

After the messenger finished speaking, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve. The bodyguard came forward and took the envelope from his hand, and then handed it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei ordered the messenger to stand up and sit down. Then, Liu Bei opened the letter in public. The name change messenger's face was solemn, but the content of the letter was very simple, few words, to the general idea was that Liu Zhang, as Yizhou Mu and nephew, invited Liu Bei to Yizhou to visit the mountains and rivers, wait for Emei Mountain to watch the sun, and go to Qingcheng Mountain to listen to Lin Tao...

After reading the letter, Liu Bei smiled happily. He looked at Yang Song, the messenger of Yizhou, and said with a smile, "Yang Changshi, please wait for a moment and wait for a copy of the book. Please pass it on to Liu Mu..."

Yang Song, the messenger of Yizhou, was eager to know whether Liu Bei agreed to go to Yizhou, but due to the disparity in identity and the actual scene, he could not ask. He could only look at Liu Bei eagerly and nodded blankly. After Liu Bei wrote a reply, the bodyguard handed the letter to Yang Song. At this time, Liu Bei sincerely said to Yang Song, "Yang Changshi, Ben Mu has agreed to Liu Mu's invitation in the letter. Ten days later, I will leave for Yizhou..."

When Yang Song heard Liu Bei's reply, a heart hanging in his throat finally fell into his stomach. He was so excited that he almost burst into tears. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, he left Liu's house with light footsteps.

After Yang Song left, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang, "The military division is really like a god... It is not easy for ordinary counselors to judge that Yizhou will take the initiative to ally with us according to the situation, but the military division has unique wisdom and can actually judge the exact time of the messenger's visit..."

When Zhuge Liang heard Liu Bei's praise, he said with a trace of guilt on his face, "Lord, don't cancel Liang. Liang has calculated a lot, but he still hasn't calculated the number of messengers from Yizhou. Liang can only calculate a group of messengers..."

When Liu Bei heard this, he still raised his thumbs up at Zhuge Liang. It is something that Liu Bei can't imagine to calculate the exact date of the messenger.

At this time, the first messenger came out of the back hall to see Liu Bei again. The visitor was a guest, and Liu Bei warmly greeted the other party to take a seat. After that, under the inquiry of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei also figured out the truth about Fa Zheng: the original humiliated Fa was pretending to be crazy. In the background, Fa Zheng summoned the people to explore the terrain of Yizhou, gathered the strength of everyone, and was good at surveying and mapping Fa Zheng to produce the latest Yizhou topographic map.

According to the situation of the crisis in Yizhou, Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, wanted to invite Liu Bei to lead the army into Sichuan, so he took the lead in secretly sending an envoy to Jingzhou to meet Liu Bei. Of course, there are also elders of the same clan who advise him: Jingzhou Mu Liu Bei and Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang are royal relatives. In case Liu Bei betrays him, the Fa family will be destroyed at that time... Fa Zheng retorted at that time: If you don't seize the opportunity at this time and take the initiative to surrender to Liu Bei, the Fa family will not want to Yizhou. The world is out of the world... Fa Zheng is holding the mentality of gambling: if Liu Bei can accept the Yizhou topographic map he sent and not sell him, it means that Liu Bei has coveted ideas for Yizhou. If Liu Bei does not sell him, then his first day will come soon; if Liu Bei gives the topographic map to Liu Zhang and said Out of the origin of the map, then he and the whole family will wait for the punishment of extermination...

Can Fa Zheng win the bet?

On the occasion of the dialogue between Liu Bei and the Fa family, Zhuge Liang has carefully read the letter submitted by the messenger of the Fa family and the latest Yizhou topographic map. Zhuge Liang, who was rarely happy, laughed extremely indulgently this time. Liu Bei turned his face in surprise and looked at Zhuge Liang, who was laughing. At this time, the messenger of the Fa family could not touch his hair like the second monk, and his eyes looked straight at Zhuge Liang.
