Chapter 818

"Kong Ming, what are you looking at?"

A mellow voice came, and then a person walked out of the cabin.

This person's ears dropped to his shoulders, his hands were over his knees, and he was Liu Bei Liu Xuande who was almost shot to death under Xiangyang City.

"My lord."

Seeing Liu Bei approaching, the young man with a feather fan and scarf hurriedly cupped his hands in salute.

Liu Bei gently helped the young man up, the love in his eyes was undisguised.

This young man who has just lost his crown is exactly the crouching dragon that the old man said that day.

Crouching dragon, Zhuge Kongming also!

It is Zhuge Liang who Liu Zhang misses so much!

History is always rolling forward in the dark, and Zhuge Liang finally returned to Liu Bei.

It's a pity that Liu Zhang made arrangements more than ten years in advance, after all, it is still God's will.

After receiving the guidance of the old man that day, Liu Bei woke up as if enlightened.

It turned out that it was not his own reason that he was in a dead end, but that he didn't have a planner to plan his way for him.

Especially what the old man said, "the crouching dragon and the young phoenix can be at peace together"!

It made Liu Bei completely crazy.

It turns out that Zhuge Liang is only one short away from the separatist side and dominating the world!

But when Liu Bei learned that Zhuge Liang was only twenty years old, he fell into hesitation again.

Twenty years old is really too young, and it is not too much to say that he is a child with a yellow mouth.

In normal times, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to think of him as the mastermind.

But after the old man's suggestion, thinking of Liu Zhang recruiting Liu Ye and Lu Su, he immediately made up his mind.

Since he claims that he is not much worse than Liu Zhang, he naturally wants to know how to be a corporal and virtuous man better than Liu Zhang.

Liu Bei personally went to Longzhong to ask Zhuge Liang, hoping to get help from him.

As expected, the result was a mess.

Zhuge Liang said that he was not sick and had no plans to meet at all.

Liu Bei gave full play to his indomitable character, guarding the door of Zhuge Liang's house all day long, never leaving!

Later, he brought his miserable skills to the fullest, weeping and sighing at every turn, telling the sufferings of the people all over the world.

After crying for six days in a row, when Liu Bei was about to cry to death in front of Zhuge Liang's gate, Zhuge Liang was finally moved.

The Sangu Thatched Cottage will not appear anymore, but the Six Crying Cottage can be seamlessly connected!

Spreading it out is more sincere than San Gu.

After some conversation, Liu Bei finally confirmed Zhuge Liang's talent.

At Liu Bei's sincere invitation, Zhuge Liang finally agreed to come out to assist him.

Liu Bei also uttered his famous saying, "Kongming today is like a fish in water"!

Although Liu Zhang had already said it before him.

After receiving Zhuge Liang's help, Liu Bei's confidence increased greatly, and he mustered up his courage again, ready to compete with the princes of the world.

But Liu Bei also had to face the unavoidable problems in front of him, no soldiers, no generals, no place to stand!

Zhuge Liang also had to face the problem of 'a clever woman can't cook without rice'.

I wanted to use Liu Biao to take shelter temporarily, but Cai Mao's intentional making things difficult made Liu Bei nowhere to stand in Jiangbei.

Just when Liu Bei had no good strategy and fell into a desperate situation, the value of Zhuge Liang's planner was immediately brought into play.

The four counties in the south of Jingzhou occupied by Liu Qi are the residences Zhuge Liang planned for Liu Bei.

With the help of Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, Jiangxia Huang's family provided five merchant ships to help Liu Bei and his party escape from Jiangbei.

With Huang's merchant ship, it is very easy to avoid Cai Mao's pursuit.

Now Liu Bei took hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals and went south along the Han River, turned into the Yangtze River and then entered the Xiangjiang River, and could land near Xiangcheng, the Changsha County Government.

Liu Bei was able to escape from the dead and had a way to go in the future, all thanks to Zhuge Liang in front of him.

"Does Kong Ming like the beauty of the river bank?"

Zhuge Liang smiled lightly and shook his head, only the waves were surging in his eyes.

"My lord, the Yangtze River divides the land of the Han Dynasty into two! Jingzhou retains the solidity of Jianghan, while Jingnan retains the natural danger of the Yangtze River!"

"If you occupy Jingnan, and Yangzhou's prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River, and then occupy Jiaozhou in the south, you will be invincible!"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he knew that this was the path Zhuge Liang had planned for him in the future.

First take Jingzhou as the foundation, and then go down the river to the east, enter the land of the six counties in the east of the river, and then you can become a tripartite force!

"Military division, although Jiangdong Sun Quan is young, he has gone through three generations after all, so I am afraid it will not be easy to attack..."

In the land of the Yangtze River, naturally water warfare comes first!

The Sun family in Jiangdong is also famous for its water warfare, especially Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, is unrivaled in water warfare.

Liu Bei has lived in the north for a long time, and no one under his command is good at water warfare, so he has no confidence in facing Jiangdong.

"What does my lord mean?"

Zhuge Liang did not refute Liu Bei, but also acknowledged this fact.

Who can survive through the separatist regime until now, which one is the easy one?

There was a strangeness in Liu Bei's eyes, and then he looked towards the west.

"Military Master, I heard that Liu Zhang's 100,000 troops went north to Hanzhong, and Yizhou is very empty..."

"Hehehe..."

Zhuge Liang chuckled a few times, he had already seen Liu Bei's careful thinking.

It must be because of the hatred for Liu Zhang that he wanted to add insult to injury!

"My lord, with our hundreds of troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through the pass of the Three Gorges!"

"Our top priority is to gain a firm foothold in Jingnan, and then take down the land of Nanjun."

"As for going upstream, or going down the river, that's something for later."

Looking at Zhuge Liang's penetrating eyes, Liu Bei knew that his selfishness had been seen by him, and he was immediately embarrassed.

"Military Master, I heard that Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition did not go well? First there were 300,000 Qiang soldiers from Han Sui, and then 200,000 cavalry from Xianbei..."

"If Liu Zhang died in Yongliang, can we...?"

Liu Bei's blatant jealousy and hatred made Zhuge Liang feel a little disgusted in his heart.

Zhuge Liang felt that Liu Bei should not expect Liu Zhang to have an accident because of public affairs and personal interests, as well as emotion and reason.

Yu Gong, both of them are relatives of the Han Dynasty, at least in name to revive the Han Dynasty.

In private, Zhuge Liang has received Liu Zhang's favor and cared for him even more!

"My lord, in my opinion, Yongliang will eventually end with the victory of the Yizhou army."

"With Jia Wenhe in Yizhou, my lord, it's better not to have any wrong thoughts about Yizhou!"

Unexpectedly, there was a hint of anger in Zhuge Liang's voice. After Liu Bei was confused, he chose to admit his mistake.

After all, there is only one mastermind, without Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei can jump into the river!

"What the military adviser said is very true! I just said it casually..."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, but didn't hold on to it.

"My lord, the Jiangdong Sun family has gone through three generations in name, but actually has no foundation."

"Although Sun Jian is from Wu County, he has no roots in Jiangdong. He is notorious for his cruelty."

"His descendant, Sun Ce, is bloodthirsty and has great conflicts with the Jiangdong family, which can be seen from his death at the hands of an assassin!"

"After Sun Ce's death, all the six counties in Jiangdong fell into rebellion. Sun Ce seems to have left a fortune for Sun Quan, but it is actually a mess!"

"To this day, Sun Quan is still busy suppressing the rebellion!"

"Now we are comparing speed with Sun Quan. He pacified Jiangdong, and we planned Jingchu. In the end, whoever can dominate the Yangtze River depends on whose speed is faster!"

Excitement flashed in Liu Bei's eyes again. He didn't expect that Zhuge Liang would have one-third of the world with a few words!

"Military division, everything is up to you!"

Zhuge Liang felt a little helpless when he heard Liu Bei's words.

"My lord, it's okay to look at me, but you can't be reckless."

"First of all, we must establish a good relationship with Liu Zhang, so that we cannot be attacked by the Yizhou army when we are fighting with Sun Quan!"

Liu Bei nodded again and again, without a trace of dissatisfaction or doubt.

"Military commander, don't worry, I will listen to you in the future..."
