Chapter 2: The start of the Longzhong match, persuade Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou

...

Lin Zhe was unhurried. He first dipped his index finger into the wine in the cup and briefly drew a sample map of the distribution of princes on the table. Then he pointed to the area north of Xuzhou and said to Liu Bei:

"Dare to ask the general..."

"In a battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, who would the general prefer to win?"

"This..." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment. Regardless of friendship, only in terms of strength, Yuan Shao did have the upper hand now.

Seeing Liu Bei's hesitation, Lin Zhe pointed to Yanzhou occupied by Cao Cao and continued to ask: "More than that, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu in Julu. Fortunately, the general took him in, so he was able to have a place to stay in Xiaopei."

"However, Lu Bu has changed his master three times during his courtship with Qin, Mu and Chu... Can the general dare to trust him completely?"

Looking at Liu Bei who was deep in thought, Lin Zhe asked again without waiting for his answer: "In addition, Yuan Shu has raised an army of 100,000 to attack Xuzhou. Under such circumstances, how confident is the general in resisting his attack?"

"Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, almost all of them are difficult to deal with. How can the general protect Xuzhou to survive in the cracks?"

"It's not just that!" Lin Zhe shook his head and continued: "Let's not talk about external enemies, let's just talk about Xuzhou's internal situation."

"This broken place has been harassed by Cao Cao before. Whether it is soldiers or civilians, how many percent of them are willing to fight Yuan Shu?"

"The weather is right, the location is favorable, and the people and people are not in our own hands. If Xuzhou hadn't been so ruined, does the general think he could have taken over this place from Tao Qian?"

Lin Zhe asked several questions quickly and urgently, which also made Liu Bei fall into thinking. He didn't even care about the disrespect in Lin Zhe's words.

Seeing the dull atmosphere on the field, Zhang Fei was the first to lose his temper and snorted coldly. He threw his sword on the ground and said angrily: "Just like what you kid said, Xuzhou is so corrupt and Yuan Shu's army is coming.

Should we just throw up our hands and surrender?"

What Zhang Fei asked was exactly what everyone on the court was wondering, what should we do? Should we surrender directly to Yuan Shu?

Lin Zhe smiled and did not answer Zhang Fei's doubts. Instead, he looked at Liu Bei with stern eyes and asked loudly: "You dare to ask the general what he raised his troops for?"

Liu Bei let out a long sigh, with a hint of worry in his eyes. He clasped his fists towards the north and said: "Bei has been thinking day and night since he raised his troops. What he did was to revive the Han Dynasty and welcome back the young emperor. What he did

Everything is a plan for the Han Dynasty and for the common people!"

"Oh?" Lin Zhe's eyes flashed brightly, "In that case, why does the general care about the gains and losses of this city and a pond?"

"Xuzhou, what's wrong if I don't want it anymore?!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Jian Yong had a simple and direct temperament. He stood up straight away, looked at the immature-looking young man in front of him, and said disdainfully: "Abandon Xuzhou?"

"That's easy to say!"

"If the world knows that my lord surrendered without a fight in the face of Yuan Shu's attack, and even directly dedicated Xuzhou to Yuan Shu, how will my lord lead the world in the future?"

"Children's words are simply ridiculous!"

Lin Zhe glanced at Jian Yong, with a smile on his lips, and said jokingly: "Who said Zhe wants the general to surrender to Yuan Shu?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Lin Zhe with a confused look on his face, "You neither surrender nor resist. Are you planning to abandon the city and flee?"

Liu Bei meant it as a joke, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhe nodded directly and said firmly: "That's right!"

"But it's not about abandoning the city and fleeing, but a strategic retreat!"

"A great man once said, if you save people and lose land, everyone and land will survive; if you save land and lose people, everyone and land will be lost. The situation at this time is just right!"

"People will lose their land, but people and land...are all saved??"

Although Liu Bei didn't know who this great man was, he had never heard these remarks before.

He was still thinking about the meaning of these words, but he heard Zhang Fei ask: "Boy, as you say...where should we escape?"

"Jingzhou!"

Lin Zhe said the place name immediately without thinking or hesitating.

"Jingzhou?"

"Jingzhou?!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhe's plan, everyone on the court had different expressions.

Cao Bao, Zang Ba and others looked happy. They were originally dissatisfied with Liu Bei's occupation of Xuzhou.

In their plan, they originally planned to kidnap Tao Qian's son to control Xuzhou, but Liu Bei ended up picking the fruit.

In terms of justice, it was natural for Tao Qian to surrender Xuzhou and Liu Bei to take over Xuzhou; in terms of force, the Danyang soldiers under their command could not defeat them. How could Zhang and Zhang not be annoyed?

Now Lin Zhe is persuading Liu Bei to flee to Jingzhou, which is exactly what he wants. Once Liu Bei leaves, isn't Xuzhou the one they have the final say on?

At this time, counselors such as Jian Yong and Chen Deng who planned to be loyal to Liu Bei had begun to weigh the pros and cons of Liu Bei going to Jingzhou.

Seeing everyone's silence, Lin Zhe clasped his fists and said, "Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are both outstanding men. After Yuan Shao captures Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao stabilizes the rear, there will be a battle between the two, so there is little room for generals in the north."

"Although Yuan Shu is strong, he is brave and unstoppable, so there is nothing to fear! However, his subordinate Sun Ce cannot be underestimated. This man has the ambition of a tiger, and everyone in the south of the Yangtze River praises him. In the future, Yuan Shu will be devoured by this man!"

"Therefore, there is no place for generals in the south!"

Lin Zhe's "spoiler" almost revealed the future situation of the Three Kingdoms. After hearing this, Liu Bei looked at Lin Zhe with more and more intense eyes.

What he lacks now is strategic talents like Lin Zhe!

The more Lin Zhe talked, the more he enjoyed himself. He picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down in one gulp, and continued to "spoiler": "Jingzhou is the best place for a general!"

"Firstly, Liu Biao and the general in Jingzhou are both members of the Han clan, and the general led his troops to join him, so Liu Biao would not be in trouble as the general; secondly, Jingzhou occupies a favorable geographical location, occupying Han Miu in the north, taking full advantage of the South China Sea, connecting Wuhui in the east, and Bashu in the west.

This is a country that uses force!"

"After the general captures Jingzhou, he can take advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to go to Yizhou!"

"Yizhou is dangerous and has fertile fields for thousands of miles. Liu Yan has recently passed away, Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north outside, Gan Ning and others are rebelling inside, there are internal and external troubles, and the people's hearts are not strong. This is a God-given opportunity!"

"If the general crosses the thorns in Yizhou, he will protect the rocks and block them. He will fight with the Rong in the west and the Yiyue in the south. When there is a change in the world, he will order a general to lead the army of Jingzhou to Wan and Luo. The general will lead the army of Yizhou.

If everyone comes out of Qinchuan, the world will be settled!"

At this point, Lin Zhe's goal has been achieved.

He came here this time to see if he could directly persuade Liu Bei to go to Jingzhou, which would directly avoid Liu Bei's wandering around in the first half of his life.

He wants Longzhong to appear in advance!

As for stealing Zhuge Liang’s limelight?

Lin Zhe is not worried at all!

Others didn't know his abilities, but Lin Zhe knew it very well, so as soon as he arrived in Jingzhou, the first thing he did was to persuade Liu Bei to recruit this "big Buddha"!

When Lin Zhe finished speaking, the air was stagnant. Although the group of people who were willing to follow Liu Bei to make contributions did not speak, they all looked at Liu Bei with excitement.

After all, according to Lin Zhe's plan, great things can indeed be accomplished!

Liu Bei's eyes were equally hot, but only for Lin Zhe.

This guy is a great talent!
