Chapter 357 Zhuge visits Liu.
Zhuo County, Zhuo County.
Zhou Yu's ship was sunk and blocked the river, trying to block the Qin army's attack. At the same time, Zhuge Liang also came to Zhuo County.
Today, Zhuo County is Liu Bei's territory. However, Liu Bei is also very distressed now, and he is already in a bottleneck at this time.
At this time, Liu Bei's power had reached his peak, and now he had more than 200,000 armored men in his hands. There were four generals, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong, the right general.
This time and another time. Liu Bei can be said to be strong now, but Liu Bei also has his own worries.
Nowadays, there is a big problem with Liu Bei's logistics supply. You should know that now, Liu Bei in Beihai County only has two counties. If you want to rely on the two counties to support 200,000 troops, it will be fine in a short time, but in the long run, the logistics will definitely not continue.
Liu Bei's military advisor Xu Shu, also known as Shan Fu, had long seen that the 200,000 army was actually sucking the blood of Zhuo County and Beihai County. If he did not hurry up and conquer a larger territory, then Liu Bei would likely be dragged down by his 200,000 army.
In fact, Liu Bei is in a very awkward situation now. There are not many places in his two counties, and Beihai and Zhuo County are thousands of miles apart. Moreover, Zhuo County is Li Chen on the left and Cao Cao on the right.
If Liu Bei did not support this army of 200,000, he would not be able to protect himself. If he maintained this army of 200,000, his logistics would be dragged down sooner or later.
If Liu Bei wants to solve the difficulties he is facing now, he can only conquer a larger territory. However, now, Yuan Shao, the strongest among their coalition forces, turned his head to attack Gongsun Zan. Now they are still struggling to face Cao Cao's counterattack, let alone conquer a larger territory.
Xu Shu was very worried these days. He was thinking about it and it was difficult to find a way to break the situation. On this day, Xu Shu was worried, and the guards outside hurried in and reported: "Mr. Shan, someone came to visit you. He said he was your friend and his surname was Zhuge."
"The surname is Zhuge?"
"Could it be that Kong Ming is here?" Xu Shu was shocked.
Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang are good friends, and they asked for learning from Mr. Shui Jing. Now, when Xu Shu heard that Zhuge Liang was coming, he was immediately overjoyed. Xu Shu knew that Zhuge Liang was ten times more talented than him. He could not think of a way to break the situation, so he could ask Zhuge Liang for advice.
However, Xu Shu thought again. Isn’t Zhuge Liang living in Jiangdong now? I’m afraid I’m asking for something when I come to Zhuo County now.
Thinking of this, Xu Shu calmed down and said to the guards: "Go and invite Mr. Zhuge in."
"Ka! Da! Da!"
Not long after, Zhuge Liang raised his legs and walked in from outside. Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Xu Shu: "Yuanzhi, I miss you so much."
Xu Shu thought to himself, Zhuge Kongming always looks cold, and now that you have nothing to do, you must have something to ask for.
Although Xu Shu was thinking this in his heart, his face was very familiar. Xu Shu smiled and said, "Kong Ming, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I miss you very much."
After the two of them spoke, Xu Shu asked Zhuge Liang: "Kong Ming, I heard that you are now a military advisor in Dongwu, why did you take a break from your busy schedule to come to me?"
"Yuanzhi, I'm here this time and there's a great thing!"
"My Wu Lord Sun Ce has a sister Nian Fang Erba. Now it's time to get married. My Wu Lord intends to betroth him to your Shu King."
"Isn't it a good thing for our marriage between Wu and Shu?" Zhuge Liang said to Xu Shu.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Xu Shu smiled and said, "Brother Kong Ming, this marriage is probably not that simple, right?"
"Yuan Zhi, there is something else. My Wu Lord Sun Ce asked the King of Shu to attack Qin together. I wonder what Yuan Zhi thinks." Zhuge Liang said, looking at Xu Shu's face.
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Xu Shu, who was originally kind, immediately changed his face. He said with a cold face: "Brother Kong Ming, if this is the case, please return to Jiangdong."
"Yuan Zhi, what does this mean?" Zhuge Liang asked Xu Shu.
"Hmph, Kong Ming, now Qin attacks your Wu. If our army attacks the Qin army later, wouldn't it attract firepower for your Eastern Wu?"
"Don't you see, the current King of Yan Gongsun Zan?" Xu Shu said with a face.
Xu Shu was saying this, "You Zhuge Liang, I treat you as a friend, but you want to trick us into placing the tank for Dongwu."
The lessons of the Yan King Gongsun Zan are right in front of you. Cao Cao fooled Gongsun Zan like this. As a result, Gongsun Zan sneaked into Yuan Shao from the rear for only a few thousand white horses. Now Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao and half of the Youzhou was lost.
Xu Shu thought to himself, you think our King of Shu is a fool, and his senior brother Gongsun Zan has suffered a loss, can my King of Shu still eat it again?
Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and pondered: "Yuanzhi, one time, another time, I'm afraid that the King of Shu has fallen into trouble now, right?"
What a sophisticated person Zhuge Liang was. How could he go to Zhuo County without being sure to persuade Liu Bei to send troops? These days, Zhuge Liang had already studied the general trend as it is today. He had a perfect plan and was sure to convince Liu Bei, so he went to Zhuo County.
"Yuan Zhi, this is better, why don't you lead me to see the King of Shu. What should I do with you in detail?" Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu discussed.
Xu Shu was worried about how to break the situation these days, and Zhuge Liang pointed out the dilemma faced by Liu Bei. Xu Shu knew that Zhuge Liang was far superior to him. At this time, he wanted to see what Zhuge Liang had.
"Okay, I will lead you to meet my Shu King." Xu Shu replied.
Zhuo County, Zhuo County, Shu Prince's Mansion.
Liu Bei is a famous polite and wise man. When he heard that the famous Mr. Wolong Zhuge Liang was coming, Liu Bei immediately served a banquet to entertain Zhuge Liang.
Liu Bei attached great importance to Zhuge Liang, and it can be seen from the people who were accompanying him. On the side of the military general, Guan Yu sat in the front, and behind were Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and on the side of the civil minister, the military advisor Shan Fu, and Xu Shu sat in the first place, and behind were Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others.
"Mr. Zhuge, come to my Zhuo County and drink a glass of wine." Liu Bei brought Zhuge Liang a glass of wine without saying a word.
After all, Liu Bei was the King of Shu who was granted the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang had to drink this dignified King of Shu toast him. After drinking a full drink, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang, "I don't know what Mr. Kongming is going to come to my Zhuo County?"
Zhuge Liang smiled at Liu Bei and said, "King of Shu, my King of Wu has a sister. Now he is at the age of marriage. The King of Wu intends to marry the King of Shu."
