Chapter 269

Prefecture, study.

Liu Xiu was inspired by the news that he had conquered Jiangling County. At the beginning, Liu Xiu made a plan to arrange Xu Shu to go to Yuzhang County, ask Huang Zhong and Pang Tong to cooperate with the withdrawal of troops, withdraw the army to Changsha County, and then quietly head north, enter Nanjun County, and seize Nanjun County in one fell swoop.

Huang Zhong's victory means that Nanjun does not belong to Liu Qi. In addition, Nanjun borders Jiangxia County, and Liu Xiu is backed by Jiangxia county and Changsha County. In an instant, Liu Qi's power is divided and Nanyang County and Wuling county are separated.

In this way, Wuling county has become a fish on the chopping board.

Sitting in the study, Liu Xiu quietly waited for Liu Bei to negotiate.

With the victory of Nanjun, Liu Xiu has more confidence in this negotiation.

At the moment, Liu Xiu is more active, with full assurance. On the contrary, Liu Bei's confidence is even worse. Without the support of grain and the support of Nanjun, the situation is completely reversed.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, outside the study.

"My Lord, Liu Bei wants to see you."

The voice of the attendant suddenly rang out of the room.

Liu Xiu said, "please come to the hall. I'll come later."

"No!"

The attendant nodded, turned and left.

Liu Xiu sat in his study, not worried at all. Up to now, he is not afraid of Liu Bei, even Liu Bei came to beg him. This time, Tieding will let Liu Bei bleed.

Liu Xiu found a book and read it slowly. He had no intention of going to the hall.

Liu Bei in the hall, after waiting for a quarter of an hour, Liu Xiu has not come yet. Suddenly, he knew that this time, Liu Xiu must have done it on purpose. Two quarters of an hour later, Liu Xiu still didn't come.

Half an hour later, Liu Xiu still did not appear.

Both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were upset, but they had no choice but to bear it. Liu Bei's buttocks were numb. His eyes were anxious and he said in a deep voice: "Kong Ming, this time, what conditions do you think Liu Xiu will put forward?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "my Lord, I can't guess my humble position."

After a pause, Zhuge Liang said, "I suddenly found that I had made a big mistake."

"What's wrong?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said slowly: "when Nanjun and Wuling County fought against Liu Xiu, they should persuade the Lord to attack Xiangyang and fight against Liu Xiu directly. Considering the reasons of Cao Ren in the north, he wanted to reconcile with Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect to give Liu Xiu a chance to breathe. Instead, he reversed the situation and formed a stronger situation for Liu Xiu. "

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "military strategist, your strategy is right. The mistake is that we didn't expect the 100000 stone grain. It's my mistake. The strategists' tactics are all ruined by my little grain. "

They talked for a moment and then fell silent.

"Da! Dada

A steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and knew that Liu Xiu was coming. They got up at the same time and looked at the gate. In sight, Liu Xiu held his head high and strode in.

After entering the hall, Liu Xiu said with a smile, "Xuande Gong, brother Kong Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your style is still the same."

In a word, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are embarrassed.

Liu Xiu is now elegant and complacent, but the hearts of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are cold, completely in the middle of the cold winter.

Liu Xiu sat down and said, "please sit down."

When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat down, their eyes fell on Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu said directly: "I expect that the two of you will come here for the purpose of negotiation. I don't know. How are you thinking about the conditions you put forward before? "

With a bitter smile, Liu Bei said: "Mr. Xiu, Mr. Qi is willing to honor you. I'm afraid Liu Bei can't just hand over Zhao Yun. "

Liu Xiu said, "since you can't do it, please go back. Xuande, I'll tell you the truth. Next, my army will enter Wuling county. In the current situation, I'm afraid the prefect of Wuling county will not resist and will no longer work for Liu Qi. So you should understand the consequences. "

Zhuge Liang said: "xiugongzi, if Xinye has no imperial uncle to resist Cao's army, Cao's army will go south quickly."

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "is Kong Ming threatening me? When I first saw Kong Ming in lumen mountain, he had a clear mind and could see the situation clearly. Now when I see Kong Ming again, how can I feel that he can't see through problems? "

"Xuande Gong is uncle Huang of the Han Dynasty. Can he surrender to Cao Cao?"

"If Xuande gave up Xinye, regardless of the people's life and death, would he still have unparalleled fame?"

"Moreover, at the beginning, Cao Cao relied heavily on Xuande Gong. In the end, Xuande Gong signed a belt edict, stabbed Cao Cao and left."

"Cao Cao valued Guan Yu. Unfortunately, Guan Yu left in the end and killed several Cao generals.""Now, can we go back to the beginning?"

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "if Liu Bei is in the hands of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will surely kill Liu Bei for an excuse. As long as uncle Liu didn't die in Cao Cao's hands, maybe Cao Cao could take over Guan Yu? "

"So you said uncle Liu couldn't resist. Is that a joke? What else can he do if he can't resist? "

"If uncle Liu wants to go south to Jingzhou, will I agree?"

"When uncle Liu goes to Jiangdong, will Jiangdong Sun Quan accept it? When one arrives in Jiangdong, uncle Liu will definitely plan for Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan is young, he is not stupid. If you're allowed to go, it's like leading a wolf into the house. "

Liu Xiu's eyes were cold and said in a deep voice, "Kong Ming, you should be able to understand these problems."

When Zhuge Liang heard the speech, he looked even more embarrassed.

However, Liu Xiu doesn't intend to let Zhuge Liang go. Since he has become an enemy, Liu Xiu will not be merciful.

LIU Xiu has sharp eyes and continues to say: "there is one more important thing. If uncle Liu can't defend Xinye, wenpin is a general under my command, which is enough to defend Xinye."

"Huang Zhong is a great general, enough to defend Xinye."

"The counselors under my command are Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Pang Tong, and so on. They are civil and military officials. They are full of talents."

"Kongming, do you think I would be afraid of Xinye without Xuande

Liu xiulang said: "when his father was alive, his generals were unable to exert their greatest abilities. But in my hands, it doesn't mean it's still like this. Kong Ming, don't look at Jingzhou as his father did when he was alive, but look at Jingzhou now. Otherwise, you will make mistakes in every step of your judgment, and you will make mistakes in every step of your chess. "

Zhuge Liang clenched the feather fan in his hand, with a trace of humiliation in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he was the son of heaven!

Once upon a time, he was a talented person in Xiangyang!

Now, however, he was beaten to pieces by Liu Xiu.

In Zhuge Liang's heart, there was a strong sense of powerlessness.

Even a trace of regret filled my heart. Was it the right decision to be loyal to Liu Bei? But just for a moment, this idea was strangled by Zhuge Liang.

In Zhuge Liang's heart, he still firmly believes that only Liu Bei can trust him wholeheartedly and give him enough trust. No matter Liu Xiu, Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they can't do this.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "master Xiu is right. It's a dream wave."

After that, he regained his peace.

Outstanding bearing, showing all.

Liu Xiu looked at Zhuge Liang's changes and knew that Zhuge Liang had experienced setbacks, not only not defeated, but also inspired his fighting spirit, but Liu Xiu was not afraid.

Under the general situation, even though Zhuge Liang is extremely resourceful, it is difficult to turn the situation around.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Xuande, have you considered it clearly? Whether to agree to the previous conditions. "

Liu Bei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Mr. Xiu, can I think about it for a long time?"

Now when it comes to Zhao Yun, Liu Bei is hard to choose.

Once Liu Bei gives up Zhao Yun, the consequences will be unimaginable, because it will affect people's hearts. Once the hearts of the people are dispersed, it will be difficult for him to gather strength. But if we don't give up Zhao Yun, his efforts and efforts in Xinye will come to nothing. These years of efforts will be completely lost, which is exactly what Liu Bei can't bear.

Liu Bei has never made such a difficult choice since he went through the crusade against Huang Jin.

In the past, it was a fight of life and death, or a blow. No one forced Liu Bei to give up his subordinates for his power, but Liu Xiu did such a thing.

Liu Xiu was not worried at all. He said with a smile, "yes, I'll give you half a day to think about it."

"Goodbye!"

Liu Bei stood up and left with Zhuge Liang.
