Sima Yi went to see Sun Quan. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
"Wu Hou, the King of Wei has no grudge against you."
"What's more, on that day when the eighteen princes attacked Dong, the only heroes were the father of the Marquis of Wu and the King of Wei of my family."
"The two families are at odds because Liu Mang is causing trouble."
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Marquis Wu married the princess to Liu Mang. This guy is not grateful. Instead, he embarrassed Marquis Wu many times."
"As an outsider, I, Sima Yi, can't stand it!"
Sun Quan smiled and said: "The alliance between Sun and Liu is the right time, the right place and the right people!"
"Zhongda's words are deliberately testing the friendship between our two allies."
Old fox!
The two of them cursed each other secretly.
Sima Yi understood that Sun Quan wanted to be both responsible and independent, and did not want to bear the reputation of betraying his allies.
Sun Quan also understood that Cao Cao sent Sima Yi here because he wanted him to contain Jingzhou.
Otherwise, if Liu Bei leaves Hanzhong and Zhao Yun leaves Jingzhou, under attack from both sides, Cao Cao may have too much to deal with.
"The words of Marquis Wu are wrong. Shi Xie of Jiaozhou is originally an official of the imperial court."
"Now being imprisoned by Liu Bei and his son, he is like a bird in a cage and a fish in a net!"
"The King of Wei is willing to send strange men and women to help him fly birds into the sky and fish into the sea!"
"I wonder if Wu Hou is willing to help?"
Sima Yi understood that Shi Xie still had great influence in Jiaozhou.
Now he is only under strict supervision by Xu Shu, so he has no chance to stir up trouble.
If Shi Xie can be rescued, Liu Bei's backyard will definitely be set on fire!
"I'm afraid that with the ability of Jiaozhou Shixie, it will be difficult for Liu Bei and his son to cut their flesh."
Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with a sneer. Obviously, the bargaining chip offered by the other party did not satisfy him.
"Marquis Wu, Shi Xie has always been on good terms with the barbarians!"
"This person is familiar with the barbarians in Nanzhong! The four counties of Nanzhong are right behind Yizhou."
"The key to our victory lies in Shi Xie! Liberating this person will cause chaos in Nanzhong and Jiaozhou!"
"Liu Bei and his son are focusing on one thing and losing the other. The Marquis of Wu can take the opportunity to capture Jingzhou, and the King of Wei can take the opportunity to capture Hanzhong!"
Sima Yi stated the pros and cons, and then looked at Sun Quan.
Sun Quan always wanted to use the land of Jingzhou as a buffer zone with the Shu Han.
Unfortunately, the person guarding this place is General Zhao Yun.
Possessing the power of insight, Sun Quan was not given any chance at all.
Lu Meng sent people in white clothes to Jingzhou many times pretending to be merchants.
As a result, Zhao Yun found out all of them, and then beheaded them in public, saying that they were bandits.
Sun Quan definitely couldn't admit it and could only suffer the loss of being dumb.
Jiaozhou has Xu Shu, Wei Yan, Deng Ai and others in charge. Even though it lacks Nanhai County, it is still impregnable.
In the hands of Sun Quan, Nanhai County was a remote and remote area. On the other hand, under the management of Liu Beijun, the other counties had become the granary of the rear.
Disrupting Yizhou, handing over Jingzhou, and seizing Jingzhou, Sun Quan was tempted by these temptations.
"Okay! There is no gap between King Wei and me! This time, we will act according to Zhongda's policy!"
"If you need help from our army, you can ask for it!"
"But before that, I hope Zhongda will stay and help me!"
Sun Quan looked directly at Sima Yi, obviously wanting to keep him by his side.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wu. Now that Wei and Wu are united, I will naturally help Marquis Wu capture Jingzhou."
Kan Ze sighed repeatedly in his heart. Zhou Gongjin, Lu Zijing, Huang Gongfu, Taishi Ziyi, and so many people worked hard to establish the Sun-Liu Alliance.
Today, we will be destroyed at the hands of a fool like Sima Yi!
If Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gaiquan knew that Sun Quan actually cooperated with national thieves and stabbed his allies in the back, I wonder what they would think!
Kan Ze shook his head and made up his mind to tell Lu Su everything about today's events.
…
Chengdu.
Liu Mang completely denied Liu Bei's strategic goal of capturing Liangzhou.
Seeing that he had ascended to the throne of Hanzhong, but was rejected by the Crown Prince, Liu Bei was so angry that he cursed.
"Treasonous son! Now that my father has many soldiers and generals, he has been recuperating for a year, why can't he send out troops?"
"The people of Liangzhou are living in dire straits, and my father is anxious to save them!"
"The long sky is prepared not to see the suffering of all sentient beings!"
Liu Mang yawned and said with a smile: "Father, do you think our backyard is really as stable as Mount Tai?"
Backyard fire?
When these four words were mentioned, Liu Bei couldn't help but look at his third brother Zhang Fei.
When he got Xuzhou, didn't Zhang Fei lose it when he was drunk?
"Brother! What do you think I am doing? I stopped drinking during the march!"
"Ahem! Third brother, I just miss you, don't think too much!"
Liu Bei frowned and said: "Mang'er, what else is unstable in the land of Yizhou?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the four counties in Nanzhong are not monolithic!"
"After the king entered Yizhou, the four counties of Nanzhong appeared to be surrendered, but for a year, no tax revenue was sent to the treasury."
"There are many barbarians in the south, and there are many wealthy families. They have never listened to the orders of the Chengdu government."
Fazheng held Fuchen in his hand and nodded: "As Kong Ming said, if our army attacks Liangzhou and the four counties in Nanzhong suddenly rebel, we will face a situation of attack from both front and rear."
"Your Majesty, if you want to go on an expedition, you must ensure the safety of your rear."
"Your Majesty has thought carefully, and I hope that the king will think twice before acting."
After hearing this, Liu Bei had already woken up from the repeated calls of "big king".
He never wanted to experience the feeling of his hometown being robbed.
"Two military advisors! I heard that the four counties in Nanzhong are all barren land."
"Even if our army controls the four counties, we still have to be wary of the barbarians."
“It’s really tasteless!”
Before Liu Bei finished speaking, he saw Xu Jing smiling and saying: "Your Majesty is wise! In my opinion, the four counties of Nanzhong can be completely abandoned!"
"As long as the king no longer cares about those barbarians, they will not covet Chengdu."
"Why send troops to conquer such a barren land?"
Xu Jing's words can be said to have won Liu Bei's heart.
Now the emperor's uncle just wants to quickly conquer Liangzhou and form a cavalry belonging to the Han Dynasty.
If you want to conquer the Central Plains, you must have cavalry.
In terms of objective conditions, unless Sun Quan could successfully go north to Hefei, he would have no chance of entering the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Liu Bei captured Jiaozhou and Yizhou one after another.
Now that Liangzhou is so close, how can he not be tempted?
"No."
Liu Mang stood up and said with a smile: "Without investigation, you have no right to speak. May I ask where my father and Mr. Xu got the basis for saying that Nanzhong is a barren land?"
this……
Liu Mang knew in his heart that many people had prejudices against the place where the barbarians lived.
As everyone knows, if these places were barren, how could they support such a large population of the Southern Barbarians?
"My father and Mr. Xu are talking about a barren land. It's obvious that they have never been to Nanzhong before they speak like this."
As soon as Liu Mang said this, Liu Bei's face turned red and he shouted angrily: "Son, I remember that you have never been to Nanzhong!"
Liu Mang yawned and said with a smile: "Although I have never been there, wouldn't it be nice if I asked Samoko to go explore the road?"
Only then did the generals remember that they had not seen Samoko for nearly a year!
