Chapter 213 Zhuge discusses the general trend! The recent situation of the princes! Lu Bu began to imitate Liu Bei?
Hanzhong, a plain area between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, has a very critical geographical location, connecting two important sites of Liu Bei, Guanzhong and Yizhou.
Liu Bei inspected the counties in Hanzhong again, and came to Shangyong County in the middle east of Hanzhong, “Kong Ming, what do you think of Shangyong?”
Zhuge Liang has studied the map of Hanzhong for countless times.
“My lord, Shangyong’s geographical location is very important. You can go north to Chang’an, go west to the hinterland of the Hanzhong Basin, and go southeast along the Han River to directly reach Xiangyang City in Jingzhou.”
Everyone looked at the map, Pang Tong clasped his fists,
“My lord, once there is a change in Xiangyang, our army will travel from Shangyong to Xiangyang, half the distance from Chang’an, and it will be closer than Xu County to Xiangyang.”
Liu Bei nodded,
“In the past, Zhang Lu had no enterprising spirit and did not manage Shangyong very well.”Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang,
“Kong Ming, where do you think I should start if I want to revive the great man?”
Zhuge Liang looked at the map,
“My lord, there are only four powerful princes left in the world, Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao in Central Plains, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou”
“My lord occupies the land of Guanzhong and Yizhou. It has the best geographical location. It is located in the upper reaches of the river. There are mountains and rivers to defend it. After years of hard work, the lord has the largest population.”
“Cao Cao occupies the Central Plains and has a large population. Now that he has captured most of Xuzhou, he can go directly to the sea and enjoy the benefits of fish and salt.”
“Sun Ce occupies Jiangdong, has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, has more than enough separatism but not enough aggressiveness, and is eyeing Jingzhou”
“Yuan Shao occupies the land of the three prefectures in Hebei, with countless fertile fields and a very large population.”
“Jingzhou has a population of more than 6 million and is located in the center of the Han Dynasty. To revive the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou must be captured!”
“Liu Biao is old, and his sons are mediocre. As long as Liu Biao dies, Jingzhou must be the center of the struggle among the three families.”
“Whoever occupies Xiangyang first and obtains the support of Jingzhou’s gentry, it will be easier for him to win Jingzhou. The lord has a high reputation in Jingzhou, and he has taken in the daughter of the Cai family, um, the daughter of the Huang family.”
Zhuge Liang almost choked up when he said this, the lord sacrificed too much for him and for the great cause!
Liu Bei…
“Kong Ming, continue talking”
“With the support of the Pang family, the Ma family and other gentry, of course, because our army has an advantage, then Cao Cao and Sun Ce may join forces to deal with us.”
“Cao Cao seized Nanyang County and pointed directly at Xiangyang!
Sun Ce seizes Jiangxia Commandery, Yanhan River can attack Xiangyang, and Yanjiang River can attack the four counties of Jingnan!”
Liu Bei nodded, Jingzhou is a piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite!
“So how do we deal with ‘I?”
“Our army can send troops from three places. From Chang’an, go out of Wuguan to compete with Cao Cao for Nanyang County! From Shangyong, go straight to Xiangyang and take the Jingzhou government!
Badong County goes down the river to Nanan County, and the four counties of Jingnan!”
Zhuge Liang clasped his fists,
“My lord stayed in Weiyan to garrison Badong County, and trained the navy. This time, he brought us to Shangyong, and the deployment has obviously begun.”
Guo Jia also nodded,
“The three-way army won Jingzhou with lightning speed, and the key is to resist the enemy.”
Liu Bei laughed and said,
“Okay, everyone’s analysis is very good, Kong Ming, I plan to let you be the prefect of Hanzhong, and manage Hanzhong, focusing on the Shangyong area.”
Zhuge Liang clasped his fists,
“Don’t worry, my lord, I will definitely complete the task!”
“Okay, there are many Shangyong Mountains. I will let Wang Ping lead Qingqiang Mountain troops to garrison under your command. I will stay with Guo Huai and Yan Xing will assist you.”
“Thank you, my lord!”
Liu Bei stayed in Hanzhong for a few more days, and led the army back to Chang’an after a long absence.
Liu Zhang, who was traveling with him, was sent to Anding for resettlement, and Liu Zhang’s son came to study at Chang’an Academy.
Liu Bei also ordered his mother, Qiu Jian, to lead 10,000 troops to help Zhang Lu’s 10,000-odd horses, go to the Western Regions to occupy territory, help Zhang Lu gain a firm foothold, and bring back some good horses and beauties from the Western Regions.
After arranging all this, Liu Bei finally returned to Chang’an.
When the people of Chang’an heard that Lord Xuande had returned from Yizhou, they rushed to the streets to welcome him on both sides of the street!
Zhang Ren, who followed Liu Bei to Chang’an, sighed, “My lord is so popular with the people, why worry about the uncertainty of the world!”
Liu Bei asked Zhang Ren and Gan Ning to train the navy together, and they trained along the Wei River and the Yellow River.
Back to the Hussar General’s Mansion,
Ju Shou, Xun You, and Lu Su reported the recent situation,
“My lord has opened up the Yizhou trade route. Now the merchants of the two places communicate frequently, and the business tax in Guanzhong alone has doubled and a half!”
Liu Bei nodded,
“What about the other princes?”
Xun You presented the bamboo slips,
“My lord, Yuan Shu died of illness in Huainan, and Yuxi is missing. It is most likely to be taken by Sun Ce.”
“Although Lu Bu killed Chen Gui, he ran away from Chen Deng. He joined forces with some gentry to meet Cao Cao’s army. Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan bandits also defected to Cao Cao and besieged Lu Bu.”
“Lü Bu was defeated and was trapped in Xiapi City. My lord once reminded him to be careful when Cao Cao dug up Surabaya and flooded Xiapi.
He led the elite to break out. He was supposed to go to Jiujiang County, but was defeated by Liu Xun of Lujiang. He is like a bereaved dog, and now he has fled to Jingzhou.”
“Jingzhou?”
Liu Bei was also speechless. This Lu Bu actually imitated his previous route, but it was a pity that he fled all the way.
“What do you think Lu Bu wants to do in Jingzhou?”
Lu Su clasped his fists,
“My lord, Lu Bu should want to imitate his experience in Xuzhou and ask Liu Biao for a habitat. When Liu Biao dies of illness like Tao Qian, he will replace him.”
Liu Bei couldn’t help laughing,
“This Lv Bu killed Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo’s adoptive fathers, killed Tao Qian, and now wants to kill Liu Biao? It can’t be the case if he is younger and in better health.”
Xun You also laughed,
“My lord, I’m afraid that Lu Bu will be disappointed this time. Liu Biao’s strength is not bad. Now that Nanyang County is the focus of the three forces, he doesn’t need to put a tiger by his side who will attack him at any time.”
Liu Bei nodded,
“Then I’m afraid that Lu Bu will come to vote for me, how should I arrange him?”
Lu Su clasped his fists,
“My lord, you can follow the example of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu and let Lu Bu go to the Western Regions.” Liu Bei smiled,
“Zijing’s idea is very good, let Lu Bu also go to the Western Regions to be king, it will be much more lively there!”
Everyone laughed,
At that time, the forces in the Western Regions were complex, and the influence of the great Han like Zhang Lu and Lu Bu passed away, which was just conducive to the Sinicization of the local people. This is what Liu Bei hoped to see.
Having settled on Lu Bu’s whereabouts, Ju Shou began to report on the situation in Hebei.
“”. My lord, Gongsun Zan was surrounded by Yuan Shao in Yijing, set fire to himself and died.” Liu Bei sighed.
“Brother Bogui is a hero, it’s a pity, is his son Gongsunxu and his family?”
“Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zan’s family members and subordinates Yan Gang and Tian Yu were rescued by Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan, and now they have come south from Yanmen to Chang’an”
Yan Gang is the commander of Baima Yicong, and this time he brought 800 Baima Yicong to vote.
Tian Yu originally followed Liu Bei in history, but here Liu Bei doesn’t remember howTian Yu, who received it, missed it with him.
Tian Yu is not well-known in the Central Plains, but he is powerful in the northern borders. Fighting Xianbei and killing Karasuma King is like playing.
“Okay, when the time comes, I will go out of Chang’an City to meet them”
Seeing that Yuan Shao was powerful, Zhang Yan also intended to join him. Liu Bei suggested that he be the general of Pingbei, and asked him to guard Yuan Shao in the Shangdang area.
Lu Su reported Sun Ce’s situation again,
“My lord, Zhou Yu managed to manage Yuzhang, and together with Sun Ce, he attacked Liu Xun, causing Liu Xun to be defeated and fled north to join Cao Cao.”
Liu Bei asked, “What about Liu Ye?”
Lu Su smiled and said,
“Zi Yang left Liu Xun, and now he and his family have arrived in Jingzhou with the Mi family caravan, and will arrive in Chang’an soon.”
Liu Bei nodded, “Okay, when Liu Ye arrives in Chang’an, bring him to see me immediately!”
“promise!”
Liu Bei stood up,
“Everyone, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce have all cut off their respective worries. The future war is coming, everyone will work hard.”
“promise!”
After finishing these things, Liu Bei finally had time to go back to the inner courtyard to see his wife and children.
Xiao Qiao, Cai Shi, Yi Shi, Zhen Jiang and Mi Zhen bore him five more children.
Zhen Mi, Diao Chan, and Feng Meiren’s belly grew bigger,
Looking at these girls, Liu Bei felt very proud in his heart, feeling as if he had all the beauties of the Three Kingdoms in his hands.
That night, Liu Bei sat with Mrs. Zou, Dong Bai, Ma Yunlu, and Lu Lingqi to discuss.
After a few days,
Naturally, the guests and the host had a good time, Liu Bei was completely relaxed, Huang Yueying’s skin became delicate, white and shiny, and Liu Bei finally fulfilled the original promise with her. She is tall and exotic, and she is also a talented woman, and she is very charming when chatting .
shake it next
It’s time for Liu Bei to keep his promise, Da Qiao, the guqin teacher at home, is still waiting to pass the door.
