Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 177 Jingxiang Strategy!

The crisp, familiar voice made Lin Fan raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

It's just that he doesn't understand why there is no system reward for capturing Shouchun itself.

It stands to reason that if you plunder Yuan Shu's luck and destroy his lair, even if you don't reach the SSS level reward, the SS should have no problem.

But now there is no response from the system and no additional rewards. What is going on?

Could it be that Hefei is still unbroken?
Or didn't catch Yuan Shu?
But Lin Fan didn't dwell on this matter.

Seeing Xu Shu prostrating himself on the ground and taking the initiative to recognize his master, the smile on Lin Fan's lips became more intense. He smiled heartily, turned over and dismounted, and helped Xu Shu up from the ground.

"With Xu Yuanzhi's help, Jing Xiang can be determined!"

Xu Shu had a little bit of shame on his face: "My lord, this subordinate is so ashamed."

"Actually, after spending some time with my lord in Xuyi, I have found the master in my heart."

"It's just because I made my promise first and couldn't return without authorization for what was agreed upon at the beginning, that's why I failed to agree to my lord's request."

"Now that my lord has defeated Shouchun City within ten days, the world is shocked. I have no other worries in my heart. Even the two of them can only be convinced."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Who are the two friends that Brother Yuanzhi mentioned?"

"I wonder if I can explain it now?"

Xu Shu said: "Of course you can."

"Because this is related to the situation in Jingxiang."

"Speaking of them, these two people are unknown, but their talents and knowledge are far beyond imagination."

"Brother Fengxiao, what do you think of my abilities?"

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment: "Brother Yuan Zhi is a great talent, as good as me."

Xu Shu shook his head: "Although I haven't had much contact with you, Fengxiao, in terms of talent, learning, and quick wit, I am not as good as you."

"But compared to those two, I am far inferior to them."

"Although I'm not sure how he compares to Fengxiao, I can only say that he is not inferior to you."

Guo Jia was even more curious: "Who is it?"

Lin Fan was not in a hurry, his eyes were full of a different kind of smile.

When Xu Shu saw that he had spoken to such an extent, Lin Fan never felt anxious at all.

I couldn't help but admire him even more: "I must have heard of Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui and Mr. Pang De, right?"

Before Lin Fan spoke, Guo Jia subconsciously said: "I heard that both of them have great ambitions and talents."

"The imperial court called on them many times to serve as officials, but neither of them agreed. They just lived in seclusion in Jingxiang."

"And their closed disciples are the two people I'm talking about."

"The first name is Zhuge Liang, the courtesy name is Kong Ming."

"The first name is Pang Tong, the courtesy name is Shiyuan."

"These two people are familiar with hundreds of schools of thought. They know astronomy and geography. They are rich in knowledge. I am far behind."

A flash of expectation flashed in Guo Jia's eyes: "It must be extraordinary to be praised by Brother Yuanzhi like this."

"The test you proposed before was given by them?"

Xu Shu nodded: "Both of them are loyal men. Now they know the situation in the world without even leaving the mountain."

"Although my lord's reputation is not well-known among the princes, the two of them highly respect my lord's ability."

"Choosing a master is a big deal, and it only happens once in your life. So you take the initiative to mention it to me. First, let me come to see the lord to see if your ability is as powerful as the rumors say."

"The second is this test."

"I once questioned how it was possible to conquer Shouchun in one month."

But the two of them said confidently: "None of us can do it. Maybe only the Lord can do it in the whole world."

"Only such a person can be our lord."

Having said this, Xu Shu knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, my lord."

"Forgiveness?"

Lin Fan was stunned: "What are you guilty of?"

Xu Shu said: "We inspected the lord without authorization. This is the following crime."

"Although I have never recognized my master before, I still need to ask for your forgiveness now." These words made Lin Fan admire the wisdom of Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, and Pang Tong.

It stands to reason that what happened before should be reversed.

After all, they had not recognized their master before.

But they wanted to apologize for this, and the purpose was to resolve the slight dissatisfaction Lin Fan might have had in his heart.

Although Jia Huan has a knot, she still can't help but let it go.

"Get up!"

"Yuan Zhi thinks I'm a person with a rat's belly and a chicken's intestines?"

"Tell me how you plan to give Jing Xiang to me."

"This question is what interests me most right now."

Xu Shu's face straightened: "It will be almost impossible for my lord to take Huainan and continue south to Yangzhou in a short time."

"And now is a good time to make a decision in the land of Jingxiang."

"Because according to our judgment, Cao Cao may be eyeing Jingzhou."

"Oh?"

Guo Jia's eyes flashed: "It's no wonder."

"Hundreds of thousands of allied troops were defeated miserably at the hands of my lord. No matter how determined Cao Cao was, he must have understood that relying on the cooperation between the princes, it would be almost impossible to defeat Xuzhou City."

"If you want to fight against the lord, you can only increase your own strength."

"Cao Cao is now entrenched in Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sili and other places, bordering them, and the only ones who can make decisions are Jingxiang and Guanzhong."

"So it's not surprising that Cao Cao wants to go south."

"It's just that Liu Biao holds the power over Jing Xiang. It's probably not that easy to take the duck out of his mouth."

"Unless...unless there is an insider."

Lin Fan laughed: "Fengxiao's words hit the mark."

"I heard that Liu Biao mainly relied on the Cai family and the Kuai family to win Jingxiang."

"It is because of their support that Jingxiang was able to calm down within a year."

"If Cao Cao can convince these two families, it will be easy to capture Jingxiang."

Xu Shu's eyes were full of joy, and he felt comfortable talking to smart people.

Sometimes they just need to say one sentence and they can automatically deduce what they want to say next.

"My lord is right."

"The Kuai family is okay. We didn't have much interaction with Cao Cao before."

"But the relationship between Cai Mao, the head of the Cai family, and Cao Cao is irreversible. It is a relationship that has long been worshiped by the mother."

"Now Cao Cao is in the position of prime minister and has the emperor in his hands."

"Coupled with the three states, it naturally has many advantages over Liu Biao."

"As long as Cao Cao works hard, it won't be difficult to convince him."

"Although the Cai family and the Kuai family appear to be diametrically opposed to each other, in fact they advance and retreat together, and share glory and disgrace."

"In troubled times, everyone understands the truth that the lips are dying and the teeth are cold."

"If Cai Mao convinces Kuai Yue, the situation in Jingxiang will be reversed in an instant."

"If my lord doesn't take advantage of Jing Xiang now, I'm afraid it will be troublesome if he does it again later."

Lin Fan nodded slowly: "That's right."

"Just how to fight?"

"As Yuan Zhi said just now, the key lies in the Cai family and the Kuai family."

"Zhuge Liang, what are Pang Tong's plans?"

Xu Shu smiled confidently: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins."

"The strategy of sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight."
