- Facing Chen Dao's teasing, Yuan Tan was both annoyed and a little confused.
Where have you been? What a reunion with the wimpy brothers?
Looking at the vast sea outside the boat and the twists and turns of the coastline, Yuan Tan's face was full of confusion.
"Where is this place? What does Liu Bei want to do?" Yuan Tan asked angrily.
Chen Dao pointed to the coast in the distance and sneered: "Did you see it? Yuyang County is on the other side. My lord is kind and asked me to travel thousands of miles to reunite you with Yuan Xi. Why don't you thank my lord properly?"
Yuyang! Youzhou! Yuan Xi!
Countless thoughts flashed through Yuan Tan's mind. He couldn't figure out why Liu Bei would send him by sea to his second brother's territory.
Yuan Tan was frightened, confused, and puzzled. With his level of resourcefulness, he could not figure out the purpose of Liu Bei's move.
After being shocked for a long time, Yuan Tan asked blankly: "Why did Liu Bei do this?"
Chen Dao sighed, "My lord said that when he put you under house arrest, he had to do it as a last resort. Now my lord has made a truce with Yuan Shang, and Yuan Shang wants you from the lord, but the lord can't bear it and doesn't want to hand you over to Yuan Shang." , I don¡¯t want the world to misunderstand anymore, so I show mercy and order you to be sent to Yuan Xi.¡±
Chen Dao's words seemed to mean that Liu Bei felt guilty about Yuan Tan and was embarrassed to detain him again, but he suddenly showed kindness and handed Yuan Tan over to Yuan Xi, who was more inclined to him.
After hearing these words, Yuan Tan couldn't help but look surprised, as if he couldn't believe that Liu Bei would suddenly find his "conscience".
The warship turned and slowly sailed towards the coast of Yuyang County. The land was getting closer and closer.
In Yuan Tan¡¯s Youzhou land, a mysterious sneer quietly flashed across his surprised face.
"Liu Bei, you pretend to be righteous and benevolent, and let the tiger return to the mountain. Sooner or later, I, Yuan Tan, will make you regret it, hehe~~"
¡¡
Thousands of miles away, Xuzhou.
Xiapi City. In the backyard of the state capital, Liu Bei was playing chess with a young man dressed in white.
Liu Bei frowned and refused to make a move for a long time, while the young man in white shook his feather fan lightly, looking calm and composed.
I have been struggling for a long time. Liu Bei finally spread his hands. He smiled helplessly and said: "Mr. Kong Ming's chess skills are far better than mine. I still have to admit defeat in this game."
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, shook his feather fan slightly, and gently picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard.
Liu Bei helped pick it up and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, is there really no problem in sending Yuan Tan to Youzhou?"
Zhuge Liang didn't even raise his head, and just said calmly: "Back then, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and captured Youzhou. Yuan Tan had recommended many of Gongsun Zan's old troops to serve in Youzhou. These people must be grateful to Yuan Tan. And Yuan Xi has always been He is also cowardly. As long as Yuan Tan can successfully reach Youzhou, I believe that with Yuan Tan's ability and the secret support of those Youzhou officials, it will not take long to take away the military and political power of Youzhou from Yuan Xi. "
After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "Once Yuan Tan takes control of Youzhou, he will definitely pose a huge threat to Yuan Shang. His two brothers will definitely reignite the war in Hebei. At that time, the lord can"
Zhuge Liang's meaningful smile did not clearly explain his strategy. But the implication is already obvious.
With Liu Bei¡¯s knowledge, how could he not understand what Zhuge Liang meant?
?? If Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan kill Tianhundi in Youzhou, all their main forces will be transferred northward at that time. Its military strength in the Central Plains will be reduced sharply.
At that time, he will also recover from the defeat in Suiyang. As long as Yan Liang doesn't come to intervene, who can stop him from conquering the Central Plains.
Liu Bei's thoughts were racing and he was already thinking about the beautiful blueprint Zhuge Liang had drawn for him.
At this moment, his spirit had just completely emerged from the shadow of Liang Guo's defeat.
After wandering in his mind for a long time, Liu Bei couldn't help but sighed: "Sir's clever plan is indeed the best in the world. With the help of such an excellent adviser as yourselves, there is no need to worry about the great cause of supporting the Han Dynasty. By then, your master will definitely take the most credit." "
Zhuge Liang's leisurely and calm expression also restrained, and his beautiful jade-like face couldn't help but become solemn.
He looked directly at Liu Bei and said solemnly: "The reason why Liang decided to go out to assist the lord is precisely because the lord is a benevolent and righteous ruler. Liang only wants to assist the lord, help the Han Dynasty, and benefit the people of the world. How dare he covet his own fame."
Zhuge Liang's awe-inspiring words moved Liu Bei so much that a few tears filled his deep-set eyes.
Moved, Liu BeiHe couldn't help but held Zhuge Liang's hand and said with emotion: "Bei Nengde, a talented person like Mr. Wang, is really like a fish in water. Sir, don't worry, when Bei can clarify the world, it will be enjoyed by the people of the world." On the day of peace, Bei swears to heaven that he will never let down his expectations for Bei."
Zhuge Liang was also moved and held Liu Bei's hand tightly, "It is a blessing that Liang can assist such a benevolent and righteous king as my lord. How dare Liang not dedicate himself to my lord and die for himself?"
"gentlemen¡¡"
"Lord"
The two masters and ministers held hands and stared at each other, their eyes flashing with excitement as if they had met their close friends.

Wuguan.
On the third day after letting Zhao Yan go, Yan Liang got the result he expected.
Cao Cao retreated.
Most of the 30,000 troops retreated, leaving only Li Dian and 8,000 troops to guard Shang County.
However, Cao Cao's retreat was not that simple. Li Dian, who stayed behind, also imitated Yan Liang and continued to build and strengthen Shang County.
Obviously, Cao Cao was not at ease with Yan Liang. He planned to build Shang County into an iron wall to replace Wuguan as the southern gate to defend Chang'an.
However, for Yan Liang, Cao Cao's actions are no longer important. What is important is that he has firmly held Wuguan in his hands and achieved the expected goal before the war.
Having Wuguan in hand means that he can easily block the threat from Guanzhong with only a small number of troops, unlike the previous two times where Cao Jun and Xiliang Army were allowed to easily enter the Nanyang Basin from Guanzhong.
The day after Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Yan Liang also withdrew, leaving Liu Pi with three thousand troops to guard Wuguan, and placed Wuguan under the responsibility of Wenpin, the prefect of Nanyang.
A few days later, Yan Liang led an army of seven thousand and returned to Xiangyang.
Now that Wuguan is in hand, the threat from Cao Cao has dropped sharply, but Liu Bei in Xuzhou and Yuan Shang in Hebei seem to be still licking the wounds of Liang Guoyi's defeat.
In the two states of Jing and Yu where Yan Liang is based, the external threat has been greatly reduced, which has paved the way for the eastward advance to destroy Wu.
After returning to Xiangyang, Yan Liang had several discussions with his advisers and secretly made a strategic plan to launch a large-scale attack on Soochow after the autumn harvest.
When Yan Liang was confronting Cao Cao in Wuguan, his wife Huang Yueying had already perfected the design drawings of vehicles and ships based on his creativity. After Yan Liang's approval, the most advantageous boatmen in Jingzhou were gathered on the banks of the Han River in the upper reaches of Xiangyang. A certain secret shipyard began to build this new type of warship.
There are still several months before the war begins. On the one hand, Yan Liang is intensively carrying out pre-war preparations. On the other hand, he orders Xu You to expand his secret service network in Soochow and increase the intensity of intelligence collection, so as to know ourselves and the enemy and fight without danger.
According to the intelligence sent back by the agents, in Soochow, Zhou Yu was once again bedridden due to the double blow of arrow wounds and psychological trauma after his previous defeat at Wuping. He is currently recuperating at his home in Moling and can no longer lead his troops into battle.
Sun Quan had no choice but to order Cheng Pu to take over as the governor and take charge of Shouchun to command the Huainan armies.
Zhou Yu fell ill again, which was a rare piece of good news for Yan Liang.
In the previous battle of Wuguan, Zhou Yu's defeat was certainly due to his strategy being discovered by Yan Liang, but the fact that they were far away from the Yangtze River and the Wu people were not good at foot fighting cannot be ignored.
¡°If the battlefield were to change and return to Zhou Yu¡¯s best pure water battle, this Mizhouro would indeed be an extremely difficult opponent.
Yan Liang benefited from Zhou Yu¡¯s news, but the situation regarding Chai Sang was not optimistic.
Lu Su¡¯s movements were very fast, so fast that Yan Liang was a little surprised.
The wealthy commander-in-chief of the Western Front of Soochow took advantage of Yan Liang's melee with Liu Bei and Yuan Shang in the Central Plains to not only quickly rebuild Chaisang City and relocate tens of thousands of people, but also reclaimed land that had been abandoned for nearly a year. The fields were replanted with crops.
This news really gave Yan Liang a headache.
After the Battle of Chaisang, the reason why Yan Liang was able to force Soochow to give up Chaisang and retreat to Hukou was because he moved all the people in Chaisang away, making it impossible for the Wu army to collect food on the spot, forcing Sun Quan to fight in the area where food was scarce. Under pressure, they had to choose to give up Chaisang, an important town that had been in business for many years.
"Now if Lu Su succeeds in planting grain and harvests the autumn food smoothly, Wu Jun's grain pressure will be greatly reduced. At that time, I am afraid that Sun Quan will be the first to launch an attack.
"If we continue to indulge like this, the Wu people may come back to bite us once the autumn harvest is over. Lord, we should fight against those who strike first."
In the military mansion, Xu You spoke in a solemn tone.
"There are 20,000 Wu troops in Chaisang. The total number of naval forces we can put on the battlefield now is only more than 20,000. If we take the initiative to attack, we can't capture Chaisang. I think it's better to wait for the Wu people to take the initiative. Let¡¯s wait for work and attack him defensively.¡±
Tian Feng¡¯s philosophy is completely opposite to Xu You¡¯s.
The two men hold different opinions, and both seem to be reasonable. The civil servants under their command also have different opinions. The belligerent one supports Xu You, while the more calm one supports Tian Feng.
In the lobby, the discussion was very lively for a while.
Looking around the lively scene, Yan Liang, who had been silent, suddenly coughed.
Everyone knew that their lord was about to speak, and there was a sudden silence, all eyes turned to Yan Liang.
That heroic face is filled with strong self-confidence and hunting power, which makes everyone instinctively feel a deep awe.
Taking a deep breath, Yan Liang said proudly: "In the past few years, the Wu people have relied on their naval superiority to invade our state repeatedly. In the past, I might have had to defend passively, but this time, no matter what, I will If you want to take the initiative, I will tell Sun Quan clearly that from now on, the offensive and defensive momentum on this river will be easy!"
