The Three Kingdoms

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Liu Bei walking out, the three of them hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"Kong Ming, since Sun Quan has issued a crusade against Gu, how should we respond?" Liu Bei waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be polite, then sat down, looked at Zhuge Liang, and asked in a deep voice.

Liu Bei has always been very clear in his heart that there is a feud between him and Sun Quan that kills his father, and they are irreconcilable.

Whether it was interests or feelings, it was a matter of time before the Eastern Wu entered Sichuan. The battle between him and Sun Quan was always going to be fought, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

When the crusade to pay the text appeared in front of him.He felt a little anxious and uneasy. Now that they were not prepared enough, they had not yet trained the soldiers and horses they had recruited before. If there was a fight, less than [-]% of the victory in defending the Kingdom of Shu would be achieved.

"My lord, there is no need to deal with it!"

Chen Deng shook his head when he heard the words.He analyzed in a low voice: "This time, the Wu Dynasty is just attacking Guo with a false way. Their goal is not us. It is Hanzhong. According to reports, there is no large-scale Wu army in Peicheng and Baidicheng, but there are some in Hanzhong. The sword is on the verge of breaking out, and Zhao Yun personally led the troops into Hanzhong!"

"False way to attack Guo?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he frowned slightly and asked with some doubts, "Yuanlong, are you sure?"

"Your Majesty, if the Wu army enters Sichuan, the first troops to mobilize will naturally be Lu Bu from Jingzhou. However, according to our detailed report in Jingzhou, Lu Bu has no intention of sending troops, and he even left for Xinye!"

Chen Deng didn't answer directly, but analyzed it a bit: "He's obviously plotting against Nanyang, not Peicheng. Since it's not Peicheng, then they obviously don't intend to enter Sichuan yet!"

"What a Sun Zhongmou, who used Gu as an introduction to beat Zhang Lu!"

After Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, he was a little annoyed, his face was livid: "He doesn't care about Gu at all!"

"Your Majesty, although he does not intend to enter Sichuan immediately this time. But now that the crusade has been issued, the Wu army will enter Sichuan within this year!"

Zhuge Liang looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "This battle, no matter what, we still have to fight, and there is nothing wrong with getting ready early!"

"Now Zhang Ren is training soldiers and horses outside the city. What is the combat effectiveness?"

Liu Bei nodded, with a solemn expression, and asked.

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his delicate and rather haggard face was a bit bitter: "General Zhang said that it will take at least half a year for this group of soldiers to form combat effectiveness!"

"Half a year?"

Liu Bei looked gloomy: "Will Sun Zhongmou give us half a year?"

He felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Since Soochow had sent out the crusade documents, even if the battle did not start immediately, it would not last long.

After all, Soochow is shameless, and the thunder is loud and the rain is little. Doesn't this damage his momentum?

"My lord, it depends on how long the Hanzhong battle can hold Wu Dynasty. If Hanzhong is breached, the next one will naturally be our Xichuan. At that time, they will definitely come from the north, south, east and west side by side and come to Sichuan!"

Zhang Song stood up and said: "If Zhang Lu can stop the army of the Eastern Wu, we Xichuan will have at least a year to recuperate!"

He had already taken refuge with Liu Bei during Liu Zhang's time. It was he who informed Liu Bei that Liu Bei launched ahead of time. The mutiny was successful and he dominated Xichuan.

Sure enough, Liu Bei did not treat him badly, and treated him as a confidant.

"Zhang Lu actually surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, which surprised Gu. He was the king of Hanzhong, but he gave up Hanzhong. It's a pity!" Liu Bei was a little regretful. If he won Hanzhong, he might not be so worried about Soochow.

At this time, Zhuge Liang stood up suddenly, bowed respectfully to Liu Bei, and said, "My lord, we are running out of time now. Even if the soldiers and horses are trained, they may not be able to stop Wu Jun's elite in all battles. In the Kingdom of Shu, we must pull back the Wei Dynasty, and in today's world, only Cao Mengde can stop Sun Zhongmou!"

"Kong Ming, what do you mean?"

When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's tone, his brows condensed into a Sichuan character.

"My minister proposes that the King of Shu should be dismissed and the Xichuan Kingdom established, and then we will completely bow our heads to the Great Wei Dynasty!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Send envoys to Luoyang, in the name of the subordinate vassal states, to meet the suzerain dynasty, and to confirm Cao Cao's reward for Xichuan!"

"Kong Ming, have we really reached this point?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei gritted his teeth, a little unwilling.

"My lord, we are not strong enough now, so we can only try our best to have a chance!"

Zhuge Liang has been thinking of a way to break the game. The Shu Kingdom is not the opponent of the Wu Dynasty after all. The only way is to use the dispute between the Wei Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty, and then take the opportunity to make it bigger.

But before that, you must vote for one side, otherwise neither Soochow nor Cao Wei will tolerate them.

"Cao Mengde is not easy to dismiss!" Zhang Song added: "If we want to get the protection of the Wei Dynasty, we still need to pay a certain price!"

"The price? What price?"

Liu Bei said coldly.

"For example, let's let go of the defensive pass to defend the Jiange, and let the Wei army garrison enter the Jiange!" Chen Deng said in a low voice.

"Bastard, wouldn't that be the same as luring wolves into the house, no, Gu absolutely disagrees."

When Liu Bei heard this, he was furious and said coldly.

Jiange is the main throat in the north of Shu Kingdom. If Wei Jun enters, and Wei Jun can attack Chengdu at any time, then he is just under the eyes of Cao Cao, who can destroy the princes at any time.

"This battle has not yet started, and Gu has not lost yet. As long as Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses can be trained in time, we have hundreds of thousands of troops. With the environment of Shu, there may not be no chance of winning!"

Liu Bei's face was resolute, and there was a trace of fighting intent in his eyes: "I don't believe that I must be attached to the Wei Dynasty to survive, and I must fight Sun Zhongmou to the death, and I will never compromise."

Zhuge Liang, Zhang Song, and Chen Deng silently looked at each other when they heard the words, as if they could all see a hint of helplessness on each other's faces. ?

Soochow's strength made the three wise men feel completely uncertain.

Don't look at the fact that they have recruited so many troops, but the entire Shu Kingdom has reached the level of militarism. If they can win battles, it's okay to say, once they are defeated again and again, the entire Shu Kingdom will collapse immediately.

"Your Majesty, we can delay the matter of bowing our heads, but we need Hanzhong to buy us time!"

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and knew that Liu Bei would not give up so easily, so he could only delay the time in other ways. He proposed: "I suggest that we send envoys to negotiate with Zhang Lu. On Jiange Road, we can retreat for a hundred miles. , so that he can mobilize enough troops to fight Wu Jun!"

"If he goes back on his word and suddenly sends troops to the Jiange, wouldn't we be in danger!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice.

"Now that Zhang Lu is at war with Soochow, how dare he provoke us?" Zhuge Liang said.

"Zhang Lu is attached to Cao Wei now?" Zhang Song reminded in a low voice: "He has no appetite, but Cao Mengde may not be able to swallow us. It is indeed dangerous for us to do so. Once Wei Jun crosses the Jiange, we have no danger to defend. Definitely at a disadvantage!"

"Wei Dynasty?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard the words: "According to the information we have received, their troops are currently undergoing a major rectification, and now they don't even have enough troops to keep Hanzhong, so they definitely won't go south to Xichuan!"
