At night, Pang Tong, Liu Ba and Liu Cong were sitting in the pavilion in Liu Cong's courtyard.
Pang Tong chuckled: "My lord, you did a good job today. You showed your weakness to the enemy and made Liu Bei look down on us."
But Liu Cong sighed and said: "Liu Bei is worthy of being a hero in the world. He is surrounded by talented and talented generals both in civil and military positions."
Liu Ba said: "But Liu Bei's lack of background is his fatal weakness."
Liu Cong was overjoyed: "Haha, Zichu is finally willing to plan for me."
Liu Ba said, "I just think too much and express my feelings." After struggling and finding that the current situation is not bad, people will slowly accept their fate. Liu Ba just doesn't want to admit it.
Liu Cong said again: "This is a good start. I wonder what Shi Yuanzi Chu has to teach me?"
Pang Tong and Liu Ba looked at each other, and Liu Ba said, "Let's dip it in tea and write it on the table."
Pang Tong chuckled: "Okay."
Both of them are wise men, and they also have the desire to compete with each other.
"seal up."
Liu Cong looked at the word written by the two and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Liu Ba said slowly: "I heard that Liu Bei gave birth to a son!"
Pang Tong also said: "My lord, I didn't see Liu Chan during the dinner today. It's normal that he is still young, but Liu Feng didn't see him either. This means that Liu Bei has a biological son and doesn't want to see him anymore."
Because Liu Bei had no sons, he adopted Kou's adopted son and changed his name to Liu Feng, but now he has a biological son.
These two people are worthy of their talents, but without seeing Liu Feng, they thought of causing Liu Bei to have an heir dispute. Liu Feng indeed had no one to support him, but it was not useless.
…
In the Xinye Prefecture, Liu Bei and Xinye Wenwu gathered together.
Liu Bei stroked his slightly swollen belly and asked, "What do you think of Liu Cong?"
Zhang Fei burped and said, "Well, I can drink quite a bit! Better than me, Zhang!"
Guan Yu frowned and said: "Third brother, you are drunk, don't talk nonsense." Then he said to Liu Bei, "Brother, I think this Liu Cong is heroic and a man."
Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others looked at each other. Jian Yong said: "My lord, Liu Cong is young and has a lot of experience, but he can't be underestimated if he can get along with me, Xinye Wenwu."
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "My lord, Mr. Liu is wearing armor and riding a horse today. He has extraordinary perseverance."
Chen Dao stood behind Liu Bei to protect him, not squinting his eyes. No one spoke anymore.
In fact, those few people in Liu Bei's group were the ones who spoke, and the rest knew that Liu Bei might not listen to what they said.
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with anxiety and he looked at Zhuge Liang: "Military advisor, what do you think?"
Liu Jingsheng had a successor and Jingzhou's foundation was stable, so the three-part world planned by Zhuge Liang could not be implemented.
Zhuge Liang smiled confidently, shook his feather fan and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the world will still be divided into three parts. Liang has three strategies for you to choose from."
Liu Bei looked at this young man who was twenty years younger than himself and sighed in his heart: If I could get this talent earlier, I, Liu Bei, would...
But there was excitement on his face: "Kong Ming taught me."
Zhuge Liang stood up, opened the map on the side, drew it with a feather fan, and said: "The next strategy is that Cao Cao will go south. My lord is caught between the three forces in Dongwu, Jingxiang, and Zhongzhou. He can take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness to support Liu Qi and go to Jiangxia."
"Several princes in the south must unite in the face of the southward movement from the north. Once the Cao thieves are defeated, the lord can rely on Jiangxia to capture Chaisang and annex Soochow."
Liu Bei shook his head and said: "The Sun family has lived through three generations. The country is in danger and the people are rich. As the military advisor said in Longzhong, this strategy is extremely difficult."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The middle strategy is to go directly to Shu before Cao Cao goes south and not participate in the war in Jingzhou. Liu Zhang of Yizhou has been suppressed by Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, so he can plan for Sichuan and Shu."
Liu Bei shook his head again and said: "Liu Jiyu and I are brothers of the same clan, how can we seize his inheritance? Furthermore, Cao's thieves going south will change the situation drastically. If Bei runs away like this, I'm afraid there will be no chance again."
As he spoke, Liu Bei raised his head, looked at Zhuge Liang with hopeful eyes and asked, "Commander, is there any other plan?"
Zhuge Liang pointed to the map and said: "Please see, my lord, although there are nine counties in Jingzhou, most of Nanyang County is in the hands of Cao Cao. Liu Biao only controls Xiangyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Yidu, and parts of Nanyang County."
As he said the feather fan pointed at the four counties in Jingnan, he continued: "Liu Jingsheng does not have enough control over the four counties in Jingnan. After the Cao thieves went south, we first joined forces with Liu Cong and Sun Quan to repel the Cao thieves."
"Then, find Mr. Liu Qi and go to Jiangxia."
Zhang Fei said: "Aren't we going to attack Soochow?"
Liu Bei scolded: "Yide, when will you change your impulsiveness? Listen to what the military advisor has to say."
Zhuge Liang didn't care, and said with a smile: "From our perspective today, Liu Cong is the hero, and Jiangxia will not be able to stay for a long time. But we can use Liu Qi's status to take away some of the troops."
"Then, he conquered the four counties in Jingnan. The lord became good friends with Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu. After he occupied the four counties in Jingnan, he recruited Wu Ju to conquer Jiaozhou."
"But this isn't a divided world?" Mi Zhu said with some confusion.
Zhuge Liang continued to explain: "My lord, Liu Jiyu occupied the rich land of Yizhou, but was suppressed by Zhang Lu of Hanzhong. My lord, do you think that if Cao Cao attacks Xichuan, can he defend it?"
Liu Bei thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid not."
Zhuge Liang said: "Therefore, Liu Zhang will definitely ask for help from everywhere. After we occupy the four counties of Jingnan and Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is barren, but it can be a passage to Shu. We can send troops from Nanzhong and the four counties at the same time."
"Whether my lord is willing or not, Liu Jiyu is incompetent. Xichuan needs a hero. The only capable Liu clan members in the world are my lord and Liu Cong."
"After occupying Xichuan, continue to conquer Hanzhong, and then attack Yongliang in the north. As for Jingzhou and Soochow, it is impossible for the two to coexist, so they are still divided into three parts of the world."
After hearing this, Liu Bei said: "As of now, this is the only way it can be." After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang and said, "How lucky you are to have a military advisor!"
Zhuge Liang hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Only when I meet my lord can I meet the Ming Lord."
The next day, in the military camp outside Xinye City, Liu Bei, Liu Cong and others stood in the stands of the school field.
There were only 30,000 new civilians, but Liu Bei had raised an army of more than 10,000. Moreover, these soldiers and horses were considered elite.
Liu Bei looked at the soldiers and horses under his command, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Liu Cong quite proudly: "My nephew, although I have been wandering for half my life and have no place to stand, the soldiers and horse generals who follow me are all elite soldiers and strong generals."
Liu Cong replied: "The emperor is a hero in the world. I heard that in the past, the emperor and Cao Mengde had a drink and discussed heroes. He once said that you are the only two heroes in the world."
Everyone was carrying the sedan chair, and Liu Bei could not stop being praised by Liu Cong. He laughed and said: "Both Cao Mengde and I are old, but my nephew is as bright as the rising sun."
However, Liu Cong bowed to Liu Bei humbly: "I still need to rely more on the emperor's uncle. I see that the emperor's uncle's army is all elite soldiers and strong generals. But Cong doesn't understand something. Please ask the emperor's uncle to clarify my doubts."
"Good nephew, if you have any doubts, it's okay to ask." So far, Liu Bei still had a very good impression of Liu Cong.
He is completely different from the image of a playboy rumored by the outside world. He is also polite, humble and not condescending.
"Uncle Emperor, there are only 30,000 new people in the field, how can we support more than 10,000 soldiers?" Liu Cong asked, looking at the army below.
Liu Bei sighed bitterly and said: "Well, thanks to your father, brother Jing Sheng supports grain and grass supplies every year. In addition, I followed Cao Mengde's farming strategy in Xinye. The army cultivated during the farming season and served as a soldier during the war. It was self-sufficient.
.”
Liu Cong also did not expect that Liu Bei and Cao Cao's mortal enemy would imitate Cao Cao's strategy. It seems that those who have left their names in history should not be underestimated.
"The emperor's uncle is open-minded and a man." Liu Cong meant this sincerely. If it were him, he would not necessarily be so open-minded to an enemy who has defeated him many times.
Liu Bei stroked his beard and smiled, and was about to answer when a small soldier ran up from the bottom of the stand and reported: "My lord, the young master had a dispute with someone at the gate of the camp and was injured."
Liu Bei frowned. Liu Chan had just given birth at this time, so the young master the young soldier mentioned was naturally his adopted son Liu Feng.
Thinking back to the fact that he had just met this son, Liu Bei felt that he was a formidable descendant. After adopting him as his adopted son, he found that Liu Feng was not only strong and brave, but also a polite and virtuous corporal. Liu Bei was really prepared to train him as his successor.
Until Mrs. Gan gave birth to Liu Chan, he had a biological son, and Zhuge Liang told him about the plan of dividing the world into three parts.
At that moment, with Liu Chan in his arms, Liu Bei had only one thought in his mind: to lay a foundation for his own son!
Later, Liu Bei began to gradually neglect Liu Feng, and his subordinates Wenwu were even more happy about the birth of his own son. Guan Yu, in particular, even called Liu Feng the son of a borer!
Liu Bei felt that Liu Feng could also be his son's general in the future. Although he neglected him, he never harmed or expelled him.
"Who did this?" Liu Bei asked, staring at the pawn below.
The soldier looked a little nervous when Liu Bei saw him. He looked at Liu Cong and said, "Young Master Liu's personal soldiers."
"Nani?" Liu Cong was stunned. He listened to Pang Tong yesterday and asked Xu Feng to challenge Liu Feng. But he never expected that Xu Feng could actually beat Liu Feng. You must know that Liu Feng's bravery is recorded in the history books.
