Chapter 56 Cao Pi's deposed emperor usurped Liu Nanye's righteous re-establishment of troops (15

War is a continuation of politics, so war is only a means, not an end. Population, land, money and food, these post-war potential interests are the fundamental purpose of the war. If you only participate in the war but don't get any benefits, this battle is tantamount to fighting in vain. Zhou Yu understood this truth and added troops to Sun Quan, so as to make it easier for him to win more benefits, at least to lay the foundation for equal distribution, and would not be inferior at the negotiating table.

After leaving Nanye's account, Sun Quan asked Lu Su, "What can Gongjin ask when sending troops?"

Lu Su replied, "The governor asked me to tell the lord that if the three families can't work together when attacking the city, they might as well divide their troops to take other places."

Sun Quan nodded when he heard the words. The siege was the most difficult to fight, and it was cannon fodder first. It is extremely difficult for each of the three families to work together. It's better to leave one family here to contain Cao Jun, and the other two families to separate from other places. It's fairer to own the territory.

Liu Bei returned to the camp and his wine did not retreat, and his face smiled and blossomed. Today's battle was fought happily. The captured Cao soldiers were small, and the gains after the war were greater than Sun Quan, which was the real thing to make Liu Bei happy. Since the Battle of Red Cliff, Sun and Liu have cooperated and competed at the same time. Because Liu Bei has a thin foundation and a small territory, he loses more and wins less in the open and secret struggles, but today he is completely better than Sun Quan. On the one hand, this is because Sun Quan lost soldiers and generals before, and secondly, Liu Bei has a good relationship with Nan Ye, which has the upper hand.

Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Bei was the kind of person who did not want to lose his righteousness even if he suffered losses, and he was not guarded when dealing with Nan Ye and trusted Nan Ye very much. According to Liu Bei's temperament, as long as Nan Ye does not take action first, Liu Bei will never move Nan Ye in the name of revenge.

Zhuge Liang is very supportive of Liu Bei's practice of not attacking Nanye. Anyway, he can't beat him in the short term. However, Zhuge Liang did not agree with Liu Bei's defense of Nan Ye. There is no way to harm people, and there is no way to guard against others. In the face of huge political interests, alliances are as weak as toilet paper. At this time, Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was thinking about the benefits of Nanye again and couldn't help knocking: "The lord has a good relationship with the national teacher, and it's good to fight against Cao together. But if the lord has the world in mind, sooner or later he will fight with the national teacher. He should treat the national teacher with the heart of Sun Zhongmou.

Liu Bei was silent when he heard the words. Although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt as uncomfortable as if they had thorns, they also knew that Zhuge Liang's words were right and did not refute them. Unexpectedly, Liu Feng held a grubling for Nan Ye and said, "How can Sun Quan be compared with the national teacher! I thought that the national teacher and his father were also sincere friends and had no intention of murder.

What Liu Feng said is not what Liu, Guan and Zhang wanted? When he conquered the yellow scarf, Nan Ye's position in Liu Bei's army was comparable to that of Zhuge Liang now. At that time, the deep friendship established between the two sides could not be understood by Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei asked Liu Feng with a smile, "How can my son know the intention of the national teacher?"

Hearing Liu Bei's question, Liu Feng told the story that Huang Xu saved his life, and Guan Ping also added vinegar to the side. Finally, Liu Feng said, "If the national teacher intends to harm each other, Huang Xu should kill Cao Zhang instead of saving me."

After listening to Liu Feng's words, Liu Bei thought for a moment, and then laughed and said, "If you want others to treat each other sincerely, we should treat people sincerely. I treat the national teacher with sincerity, and the national teacher will not hurt me! Mr. Kong Ming, don't be suspicious in the future!"

Zhuge Liang wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Zhang Fei's laughter: "What my brother said is exactly what I want! If we really meet one day, I will compete with Dian Hongfei and Zhao Zilong and will never show mercy. But as long as we are an alliance for one day, we should treat it sincerely.

Guan Yu also smiled and said, "There is a way to come. Now that the enemy is strong, we should work together."

Zhuge Liang couldn't help sighing when he heard the words of the three people. Liu Bei's benevolence, Guan Yu's righteousness, and Zhang Fei's courage are all very rare personality charm. Nowadays, Nanye's personality charm is also not small. No wonder it can convince people all over the world. Zhuge Liang couldn't help thinking that if the two families had never attacked each other, what would the world be like?

In Zhuge Liang's view, today's world pattern is somewhat like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Nan Ye is like strengthening Qin in the west. The remaining three parties either fight against Nan Ye vertically or use Nan Ye's hand to strengthen themselves, which is the king's way. However, because Nan Ye has not taken the initiative to attack the purpose of others and some historical problems, Sun, Cao and Liu have excluded Nan Ye from the fight and want to annex the other two families before fighting with Nan Ye. This practice is obviously not in line with the overall situation. However, it is even more impossible for Sun, Cao and Liu to unite against Nanye. Zhuge Liang began to consider whether to use the horizontal method to treat the relationship between Liu Bei and Nan Ye.

The three princes outside the city have their own thoughts, and Li Ru, Cao Zhang and others in the city also gathered together to take charge. At this time, Cao Zhang had already lost his previous sharpness, like a frost eggplant hanging his head and not saying a word. He regretted this move to leave the city without permission. Although Li Ru did not blame Cao Zhang's identity, let alone use military law, this made Cao Zhang more uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait for Li Ru to beat him.

Li Ru looked at the generals in the account as depressed as Cao Zhang and couldn't help frowning. One-third of the soldiers and horses in the city were lost, which was indeed a heavy blow. However, Li Ru was more afraid that the remaining two-thirds of the people also lost their morale, so the city could not be guarded.

Realizing that improving morale is the key at this time, Li Ru suddenly came up with a plan and said, "There will be a detailed report tonight, and another army will be added to Sun Quan's camp. Wu Bing must first defeat his spirit when he comes from afar. Who dares to go out of the city to defeat the enemy tonight?

Xiahou De heard that Li Ru wanted to send troops out of the city. At that time, he was shocked and looked at Li Ru and said, "In the day, soldiers were defeated. Now that Sun Quan has increased his troops and the army is more powerful in the daytime. How can we be invincible?"

Li Ru laughed and said, "The soldier is also tlyly! The three families in the city won during the day. It was the time of relaxation. Sun Quanbing arrived and became more fearless. How could they expect us to wait for the camp tonight? Sun Quan is unprevented, which is the time for us to use the army. General Xiahou thought that I should not wait to leave the city tonight. How could Sun Quan expect me to have this plan?

When Xia Houde heard the words, his eyes lit up and asked him to fight, "I would like to command 5,000 soldiers to rob the camp and frustrate their spirit."

As soon as the words fell, the next person listened to the account and said, "You only need a hundred horses to break the enemy. Why 5,000?"

The generals in the hall were shocked to hear the words, and the person who spoke was Cao Zhang. At this time, where did Cao Zhang still look decadent just now? His eyes are bright, as if he is going to make a fire. Obviously, he wants to snow today's shame.

Xia Houde thought that using 100 people to attack 100,000 people was like suicide. When Cao Zhang couldn't think about it because of today's defeat, he persuaded him, "Your Highness, don't be angry!" Hundreds of people can't win, but only death. It's better for me to go."
