To be able to realize the idea of "Longzhong Dui", the prerequisite is to capture Yizhou.
But Liu Bei Group obviously thought too little about the problems after taking Yizhou!
Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, had the land of the Three Qin Dynasties in addition to Yizhou!
The troops left Qinchuan and occupied Tongguan, advancing and retreating freely!
On the other hand, you, Liu Bei, only want to capture Yizhou, so you treat Zhang Lu like nothing?
Also, taking the initiative to attack Liu Zhang, all the good reputation accumulated over half a lifetime will be destroyed in one day!
The wealthy people in Yizhou will not support Liu Bei, he can only rely on the gentry in Jingzhou!
"At that time, people from Jingzhou will serve as officials in Yizhou. I would like to ask you three gentlemen, if you were from Yizhou, would you be satisfied?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head, "It was our lack of consideration..."
Pang Tong and Xu Shu blushed. They were more radical and had already begun to encourage Liu Bei to enter Shu.
"Rebellious son! As a father, can't I take Yizhou?"
Liu Bei was unwilling to give in. He has now captured the four counties in Jingnan, and the road to the west to Yizhou has been opened!
Now I heard what Liu Mang said, taking Yizhou is equivalent to harming myself!
As long as he doesn't take action, Cao Cao will not touch Zhang Lu!
Who is the rival of the heroes in the world, Cao Liu!
Once Liu Bei makes a move, Cao Cao will not let it go.
"Open up the territory and expand the territory...what other land can be opened up and expanded!"
"Dad, I finally understand that my second uncle is not the only one with bad geography here!"
As soon as Liu Mang said this, Guan Yu, who was stroking his beautiful beard while watching the show, instantly became angry.
When you father and son quarrel, can you please avoid hurting innocent people?
"Mang'er! Your second uncle and I have read "Spring and Autumn"..."
"Cross five passes and kill six generals, ride thousands of miles alone!"
"Okay, keep talking!"
"Second uncle, can you read a lot of books? Read a copy of "Spring and Autumn" every day! You have torn through that book. Are you always pretending to be cool or are you really reading? Do you still call me nephew?"
kindness?
When Guan Yu got angry, Zhang Fei quickly stopped him and said, "Second brother! Calm down! After all, you are the one who took the wrong path!"
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong came forward to persuade Guan Yu, but Guan Yu reluctantly did not leave the table.
"Then you should tell me what our army should do now!"
"I would like to hear what you generals think."
Guan Yu asked what everyone was thinking, and the celebration banquet instantly turned into a brainstorm.
"I think we should mobilize the whole army to capture Xiangyang directly, march north to Wancheng, and then attack Xuchang and welcome back the little emperor!"
Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other radicals expressed their willingness to go north and focus on attacking Cao Cao.
"Third uncle, have you forgotten the Jiangdong rats? Are you going to use the strength of the entire army? Are you afraid that they won't stab you in the back?"
As soon as Liu Mang said this, Zhang Fei blushed.
"Welcome back the little emperor! How old is Liu Xie! Bring him back, will you listen to him or my father?"
"Nonsense! Of course I will listen to my brother!"
Liu Bei was so ashamed, "My dear third brother, please stop talking!"
"Third uncle, as Liu Xie is the emperor, even my father is his minister! When the time comes when the emperor and his ministers have different opinions, my father will easily be called the second Cao Cao!"
Zhang Fei chose to shut up on the spot, then poured a bowl of wine and began to drink for himself.
Talking to these ghosts will only expose his intelligence!
"Guan Mou thinks that we should take Jiangdong! Now that Zhou Yu's army is fighting in Jiangling, Jiangdong will definitely be empty inside!"
Guan Yu caressed his beautiful beard and snorted coldly: "If you want to stab Sun Quan in the back, why don't we allow us to strike first?"
Many generals in the army expressed support for Guan Yu's views.
"Second uncle, if this is really the case, the rats you talk about may become us!"
"That was Jiang Dong's first stab in the back..."
"No! At present, the Sun-Liu alliance still has value. Before it is impossible to annex the other party in one go, it is most effective to keep him to restrain Cao Cao."
Liu Mang also rejected Guan Yu's suggestion.
"If you want to attack Jiangdong, there is no need to train naval forces!"
"Uncle Zhao, Xingba, it's up to you two!"
Zhao Yun and Gan Ning were overjoyed when they heard this, and they both came out and said, "Yes, young master!"
Huang Zhong took a step forward and asked: "Master! This won't work, that won't work either! Could it be that we can't guard the four counties of Jingnan in vain?"
Only when you are over sixty years old can you meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty!
Huang Zhong naturally wanted to use his remaining energy, and now that he heard Liu Mang say that he could open up new territories and expand his territory, he would not lag behind others.
"You traitor, why don't you tell the old general quickly!"
"Dad, if you know, just say so! What are you urging me to do?"
"you……"
Liu Bei said angrily: "If you tell me, I will know!"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Master, Liang also wants to know what you are thinking."
When the gentleman opens his mouth, he naturally has to give face!
"The war continues in the north, and our army should develop southward!"
"Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhou, has long disobeyed the imperial orders, and he acts like a local emperor!"
"Our army attacks this place without any worries about reputation, let alone future worries!"
Jiaozhou!
"This land is barren, what's the use of taking it?"
Liu Bei's face was full of disgust, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Mang's proposal.
"Alas! Without investigation, there is no right to speak!"
Liu Mang also responded with a blank look, "Because of the chaos in the Central Plains and Cao Cao's move south, many northerners moved south and came to Jiaozhou to avoid trouble, and the population here increased greatly!"
"Shi Xie was in great chaos and managed to save a state. For more than twenty years, the battlefield was peaceful and the people were not unemployed!"
this……
Liu Bei was so embarrassed that he knew very little about Jiaozhou.
But how did the traitor know?
Liu Bei quickly looked at Zhuge Liang, who shook his feather fan lightly, as steady as an old dog.
"I must have taught it to you, sir! Sir, you are worthy of being a famous teacher!"
"My son is also a master disciple!"
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel complacent.
"Jiaozhou is an important salt-producing place! Both Nanhai and Cangwu counties have salt officers!"
"How important salt is to the army, do I need to say more?"
After Liu Mang finished speaking, Xu Shu raised a question.
"Sir, the land of Jiaozhou is backward and barren, and farming is far inferior to that of the Central Plains!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Yuanzhi! The farming skills in Jiaozhou are not as good as those in the Central Plains, but the water and heat conditions are quite good!"
Liu Mang talked eloquently: "This place can be ripe for more than a year! If we and other migrant farmers come here and supplement the farming technology and water and heat conditions..."
Pang Tong clapped his hands and said, "We have enough troops and food! Jiaozhou is enough to supply the army!"
Snap!
Liu Mang snapped his fingers and said, "Mr. Pang is right!"
"It's a pity that you still know very little about Jiaozhou!"
"Uncles, this is still your stage!"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were flattered. Could it be that the attack on Jiaozhou was also due to their military exploits?
"Mang'er! Second uncle, I have been prepared for a long time!"
"Mang'er! If there is any mission, my uncle will definitely go there!"
Liu Mang was grateful to his two uncles. Why did they work so hard to achieve merit rather than protect their nephew's status?
"Jiaozhou has gold (copper) and silver! This is God's support for our army!"
"Not to mention pearls, spices, ivory, rhinoceros horns, and coral glass, all of which can be sold to the Central Plains!"
The generals listened with rapt attention, and many of them nodded repeatedly, obviously convinced!
"Gentlemen, may I ask if Jiaozhou can be used as a place for our army to expand its territory?"
Whoosh!
Everyone stood up and said, "Young Master, I am convinced!"
