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

To the south of Xiangyang City, there is Shuijingzhuang thirty miles away.

This place is the secluded place of Mr. Sima Hui of "Shui Jing".

The village is surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful scenery and meandering scenery.

There is a pond behind the village. By the pond, two old men are fishing with their eyes closed.

The breeze blows gently and the waves sparkle.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the swim bladder in front of the old man on the left moved. His eyes opened instantly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Brother De Gong, it seems that I won again this time."

The person who spoke was none other than Sima Hui, who was known as Mr. Shui Jing.

The old man on the right is his good friend Pang Degong.

Seeing that Sima Hui had caught a fish, Pang Degong shook his head indifferently: "Brother Decao (Sima Hui's nickname), I can't compare to you in other aspects, even fishing."

"What a bummer!"

"You can only win three out of ten times. It seems that you have drank up all the wine I saved."

Sima Hui stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not that Mr. De's fishing skills are inferior to mine, but that your state of mind is unstable."

"Do you think the situation in Jingxiang should not come to an end too early?"

"Although he obeys our words on the surface, he is still worried in his heart."

"Is it right?"

Pang Degong nodded: "Although Lin Fan's momentum is strong, his origin is not right after all."

"Isn't it too hasty to decide the decision with a bet?"

"Although Shi Yuan and Kong Ming are both extraordinary talents, their intelligence has long surpassed ours, but they are still young after all."

"Once you choose a master, you cannot change it. How can you not think twice before making a decision?"

Sima Hui smiled and said: "We are already old, why should we care about what they think?"

"If we don't let the young eagles spread their wings and fly high, how can we know that they will be able to stand alone?"

"If the situation in Jingxiang does not go as we wish, they will be in most danger and will not be killed."

"After all, they are not a threat, but a big help."

"Besides, I don't think Lin Fan will lose in this round."

Pang Degong smiled: "That's okay, I can't tell you anything."

"Just wait and see how Jing Xiang will move in this game."

After that, he took out the wine bag from his waist and said, "Drink!"

"This is what I lost to you."

Sima Hui took the wine bag and drank a few sips with a smile on his face: "Refreshing, refreshing!"

"This treasured old wine is better!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from behind.

"Mr. Qichen, Xu Yuanzhi is back."

"Oh?"

Sima Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Take him to Kongming and Shiyuan, there is no need to come here."

After speaking, he handed the wine bag to Mr. Pang De: "The show is about to begin."

"I wonder what kind of show the three of them are going to put on."

Shuijingzhuang, a secret room.

Three people of similar age sat around him.

There is a pot of tea and three teacups in front of you.

After a while, the water gurgled.

The youngest among them washes and makes tea, his movements are extremely skillful.

In just a short time, the aroma of tea overflows and the room is filled with fragrance.

The older man picked up the tea and took a sip. The fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth, and he said with a smile: "Kong Ming really knows the three flavors of tea."

"This tea is brewed well."

The young man who spoke was naturally Xu Shu, the one who made tea was Zhuge Kongming, who will be famous for generations to come, and the young man who never spoke was Pang Tong.

Pang Tong frowned slightly: "How long has it been? You two are still so big-hearted."

"The situation in Jingxiang is complex and ever-changing. If you make one wrong step, you will lose everything."

"If we don't go well in the first round, even if the lord accepts it, how can it be used in any important way?" Zhuge Liang picked up the tea and took a sip: "Shiyuan, what are you anxious about?"

"I would like to hear what kind of person the lord is."

"After all, if you don't understand his temperament after meeting him, how can you serve him better?"

"The so-called skill of sharpening the knife and chopping firewood is why there is no need to rush for a while?"

Pang Tongyi was stunned and pondered for a long time: "Yes, I was too anxious."

"Yuan Zhi, please tell us, we are all ears."

Xu Shu smiled, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "If I were to describe my lord, I can only use one word to describe him, like a god."

"Whether it's appearance, wisdom, or bravery, he's all like a celestial being."

"Only he can conquer Liuhe and unify the nine states."

Speaking of this, General Xu Shu talked about what he did in Xuyi and Shouchun City.

Including the surprise attack on Xuyi, conversations in Xuyi City, including offensive and defensive drills
After everything was said, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong pondered for a long time, especially the so-called imperial examination system, which made them sincerely admired.

“My Lord’s abilities are unbelievable!”

Xu Shu nodded: "The mountains stand tall and the scenery stops."

"I can only use these words to describe the Lord's ability."

Pang Tong echoed: "This shows that our choice is good."

"Since we made a good choice, we should resolve the Jingxiang matter completely."

"If the lord doesn't intervene, he can capture Jing Xiang. This skill is enough for the lord to use him seriously."

Xu Shu said: "Yes, but the situation in Jingxiang is complicated now, so this first step is necessary."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Brother Yuanzhi, you just came back and you don't know the current situation."

"In fact, the first step has already been taken."

"Shi Yuan and I have sent people to spread the news that Cao Cao intends to seize Jingxiang, and the Cai family has secretly supported Cao Cao."

"Liu Biao even made rumors a few days ago, saying that in more than ten days, he will marry the daughter of the Cai family, and they will become an in-law family from then on."

"That is to say, Cao Cao will not continue to tolerate it, because when the done thing is done, it will be too late to regret. No one knows whether Cai Hao will change his mind."

"In other words, before we get married, there will be big disturbances in Jingxiang and there will be a battle between the two sides."

Xu Shu frowned: "Will my lord still have time to catch up in more than ten days?"

"if."

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Shouchun City can't stop my lord for ten days, how can Hefei hold on for ten days?"

"In ten days at most, my lord will be able to free his hands."

"There are two things we should do right now."

"Which two?"

Pang Tong said: "Make the water more turbid."

"Let Liu Biao know that he doesn't even have 20 days."

"Let Cai Mao know that he has no way to retreat."

"Only by working together in advance and disrupting their pace will we be more powerful."

"The second is to win over the Kuai family."

"The Kuai family?"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then a look of realization appeared on his face: "I understand."

"Will the Kuai family help us?"

"After all, my lord has a bad reputation now."

"The power cannot be compared to the overwhelming power of Mount Tai."

"therefore."

When Pang Tong was about to speak, he saw Zhuge Liang drinking tea and said with a smile: "This is the policy that Kong Ming and I agreed upon together."

"It's up to Kong Ming to speak."

Zhuge Liang put down the tea cup: "It's very simple. First convince Zhang Xiu of Nanyang and get his support, which will make the Kuai family feel at ease."

"So we have to have someone go to Nanyang."
