Chapter 582 Zhuge Liang Out of the Mountain
"The third brother can't make a second brother. The second brother, you go out first." Seeing that Zhang Fei began to talk again, Liu Bei quickly stopped him and asked the two to go out and wait outside first. It must be that Liu Bei came to seek talents this time and did not want to compete with Zhuge Liang.
"Yes." Zhang Fei wanted to say something else, but seeing that Liu Bei's face had become ugly, so he just opened his mouth and said nothing more. He turned around and went out of the grass.
"Brother, let's talk to Mr. Zhuge here. We'll wait outside." Guan Yu also said goodbye at this time, and then turned around and followed Zhang Fei out of the grass.
"Please forgive me for the reckless collision between my two brothers just now. Liu Bei is here to apologize to him." Seeing his two brothers leaving, Liu Bei quickly complained to Zhuge Liang.
"You're welcome. The two generals are temperamental people. How can I be angry with the two generals?" Zhuge Liang smiled at Liu Bei's apology and revealed all this.
"Liu Bei has been busy for half his life and wants to seek the welfare of the people all over the world, but he has never been able to get the point. This time, he came to see him specially to ask him out of the mountain to help me restore the Han Dynasty." Seeing that no one was bothering, Liu Bei said earnestly again.
"Well, I don't know how the general is going to help you? Although Fang is still a vassal standing side by side today, Lv Bu has occupied half of the world's land. Hebei Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi are in separate ways and can't argue. They will soon be destroyed by Lv Bu. Zhang Liao sent troops to Hanzhong to force Zhang Lu to surrender. Yizhou is already in danger. Although Jiangdong Sun Quan is ambitious, Jiangdong is dominated by the water army, and he can naturally be the hero in the Yangtze River. If he wants to deal with Lv Bu in the Northern Expedition, he is really not sure. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou is assisted by the envoy and General Xiahou Dun, Liu Biao only has the heart of self-preservation and has no intention of making progress. May I ask who else in the world can compete with Lv Bu? What can I do to help you?" Zhuge Liang said with a sigh about Liu Bei's request.
"Lv Bu's abolition of imperial power has provoked people's anger and resentment. His ambition to annex the world has been revealed. The loyal and righteous people in the world have come to this critical moment. They are just united. It is to destroy Lv Bu and restore the foundation of the Han Dynasty. He is naturally a relative of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, please help me." From the perspective of the current situation, Zhuge Liang shows that it is very difficult to help Liu Bei achieve a career in today's situation. Liu Bei unfolded another picture to Zhuge Liang from the perspective of people's minds, which made Zhuge Liang think that it was not impossible to defeat Lv Bu. Although what the two said was a little different, it clearly showed the way they thought about the problem. Zhuge Liang was more pragmatic, while Liu Bei was a reason with a firm belief. Thinkers.
"Uncle Liu is really different. It's not impossible for Uncle Liu to invite me to help, but Uncle Liu wants to promise me something." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang thought for a while before he said.
"If you have something to say, Mr. Liu Bei will naturally agree with you." Hearing that Zhuge Liang was finally relieved, Liu Bei said quickly.
"If you want to help him out of the mountain, Uncle Huang first wants those Jingzhou. It must be Lv Bu that the emperor wants to deal with. Now Lv Bu's power is all over Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Bingzhou, Sizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, eight states, Yecheng, Wei County and Hanzhong in Jizhou, which is equivalent to nine states. The power, and it is obviously impossible for the emperor to resist Lv Bu with the power of Xinye, so the emperor needs to agree to take Jingzhou first. With the nine counties of Jingzhou as the backing, the emperor has the opportunity to compete with Lv Bu, so that he can come out of the mountain to help. Seeing that Liu Bei didn't hear what his condition was, he agreed in one bite, but Zhuge Liang smiled and continued.
"This? Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang, and I were of the same clan. On that day, there was no army and no place to live. Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang, took me in and let me station in Xinye. How can I repay his kindness and seize his Jingzhou? I, Liu Bei, can't do such an unkind and unrighteous thing. Of course, I naturally understand that Mr. Xinye's strength is not enough to confront Lv Bu. Therefore, I have borrowed soldiers and horses from the king of Xiangyang and prepared to send troops to Wancheng. Taking advantage of Zhang Liaoyuan's opportunity in Hanzhong, he took Wancheng as a basis for resisting Lv Bu. What do you think? Liu Bei was naturally moved by Zhuge Liang's victory over Jingzhou. However, Liu Bei knew that his biggest advantage compared with other princes was his name of benevolence and righteousness. If he sent troops to seize Jingzhou, it would be equivalent to completely bury his name of benevolence and righteousness, so that he had lost so many years of hard to accumulate. Liu Bei is naturally unwilling to accept this good reputation.
"Ha ha, it turns out that Uncle Huang means that he wants me to go out of the mountain to deal with Pang Tong." After listening to Liu Bei's meaning, Zhuge Liang smiled and then said, "In those years, Pang Tong and I sat down to study together with Mr. Shuijing. Although I could slightly beat Pang Tong, it was under the same resources of both sides. Both of us are very familiar with each other's tactical arrangements, so even if I can win the unified plan, it is not very helpful for the emperor's uncle to capture Wancheng. So let's persuade the emperor to give up the plan to seize Wancheng. Zhuge Liang obviously didn't agree with Liu Bei's plan to seize Wancheng. Although Zhuge Liang must be able to beat Pang, behind Pang Tong are Zhang Liao and Lv Bu, who have a lot of resources, and the strength in Liu Bei's hand is too thin to withstand much damage at all. Once the two sides are consumed, Liu Bei will suffer in the end.
"Since I can't attack Wancheng, do I have any other choice to avenge my kindness and attack Jingzhou." Since even Zhuge Liang was not too sure about defeating Pang Tong and taking Wancheng, Liu Bei had to let go of this matter for the time being and asked Zhuge Liang instead.
"In fact, there is an opportunity now, but if the uncle does this, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Zhuge Liang turned around, imagined the map beside him, and wrinkled without saying anything.
"Please give me your advice." At this time, Liu Bei also hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang for advice.
"Here." With that, Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand and pointed to the map. Liu Bei stared at it. The direction Zhuge Liang pointed to was not somewhere else, but Yizhou, which was close to Jingzhou.
Zhuge Liang continued to say, "Now that Zhang Liao's troops are sent to Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu surrenders in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang of Yizhou must be panicked. He is afraid that Zhang Liao will swing his troops and take Yizhou. Uncle Huang and Liu Zhang are of the same clan. They can take this opportunity to wave their troops to Yizhou, help Liu Zhang to deal with Zhang Liao, take the opportunity to annex Yizhou, and sweep the world for Uncle Huang. However, the reason why Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang, arranged the emperor's uncle in Xinye is to let the emperor's uncle contribute and watch the door of Jingzhou. If the emperor's uncle waves Yizhou, it will definitely lead to the opening of the gate of Jingzhou. If Zhang Liao and Pang Tong take this opportunity to wave their troops south, Jingzhou will be in danger. At that time, even if the emperor's uncle arrives in Yizhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save the world's situation.
"This? But if I don't go to Yizhou, then after Lv Bu takes Hebei and Zhang Liao takes Yizhou, won't he still wave his troops south and take Jingzhou?" After Zhuge Liang's analysis, Liu Bei finally opened his eyes and fully understood the current situation in the world, so he said.
"Uncle is right. This is the situation in the world. If Uncle Huang really wants to compete with Lv Bu, the best situation is to take Jingzhou first, and then Yizhou. With the strength of Jingzhou and Yizhou, he will unite with Jiangdong Sun Quan to compete with Lv Bu, so that the world will have a turnaround. Then Zhuge Liang changed the topic and pointed out the way for Liu Bei for the future.
"Sir is really talented. After listening to his words, Liu Bei suddenly understood a lot. Please be sure to come out of the mountain to help me and create a bright world for the people all over the world." So far, Liu Bei has really learned Zhuge Liang's talent. Zhuge Liang suddenly admired him. I don't know how many times Liu Bei has thought about the situation in the world, but he has no clue for a long time, but he still focuses on the gains and losses of one city and one place, but now it seems that his own eyes The light is too narrow. Compared with Zhuge Liang, it is simply a frog at the bottom of the well, so Liu Bei decided to ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to help him no matter what the price is. Only in this way can he not waste his life.
"I don't know if you are willing to send troops to take down Jingzhou now?" Zhuge Liang did not directly answer Liu Bei's words, but asked if Liu Bei was willing to send troops to take down Jingzhou. It must be that Liu Bei is still very popular in Jingzhou. It is much easier to take down Jingzhou than to send troops to Wancheng. What's more, the nine counties of Jingzhou are rich and strong, and Wancheng is only one county, how many soldiers and horses can they raise?
"It's really not appropriate to take action in Jingzhou at this time. Please help me enter Yizhou. What are you going to do?" Liu Bei thought that sending troops to Jingzhou was really bad for his reputation at this time. He wanted to send troops to Yizhou first, take Yizhou first, and then consider the matter of Jingzhou.
"Those who have achieved great things since ancient times are not informal. Since the emperor can't even make this decision, why should he pull me out and do his best?" Hearing that Liu Bei was still unwilling to attack Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang sighed. Zhuge Liang must go out of the mountain to achieve a career, not to follow Liu Bei around.
"Okay, I promise sir. As long as the time is ripe, we will take Jingzhou to fight against Lv Bu. I think the king of Jingzhou will definitely understand my boxing heart." At this time, Liu Bei thought about it over and over again and decided to follow Zhuge Liang's advice. When he took Jingzhou at the right time, Liu Bei must have been tired of the life floating around. Since there is a chance, how can he not grasp it in his hands?
