    Zhou Yu asked to surrender?

    This is unprecedented news. Mei Zhoulang, who flooded Shouchun and caused Liu Bei to lose Huainan, actually asked him to surrender.

    Liu Bei was surprised. He rolled his eyes a few times and quickly understood what was going on.

    "Could it be that after Yan Liang pacified Jiangdong and showed signs of marching into Huainan, Zhou Yu felt helpless and just remembered to ask for help from us?" Liu Bei's tone was unabashedly sarcastic.

    Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and said: "It is exactly what my lord said. Zhou Yu sent people, saying that he was willing to be attached to the lord, and asked the lord to send troops from Xuzhou to the south to aid Huainan."

    Dependence?

    When he heard these two words, Liu Bei's expression became unhappy.

    There is a big difference between attachment and surrender, and Liu Bei knows this very well.

    At that time, whether Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, or Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he was nominally dependent rather than surrendering.

    Dependence represents the relationship between Liu Bei and the one being attached, which is just the relationship between guest and host, while surrender represents the relationship between minister and host.

    As a guest, Liu Bei can continue to have retainers such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as a team that is completely his own.

    Moreover, once Liu Bei finds a new opportunity, he can openly leave his dependents without having to bear too much infamy as a traitor.

    Being attached but not surrendering is the secret of Liu Bei's ability to maintain his reputation despite defecting to countless employers over the years.

    It¡¯s a pity that Liu Bei¡¯s reputation that he maintained for many years has been mostly destroyed by the letter of divorce that Yan Liang forced him to write.

    Now, Zhou Yu has also played a trick of dependence with Liu Bei. Liu Bei, who is experienced in this technique, can see through Zhou Yu's intention at a glance.

    Seeing Liu Bei's displeasure, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "How could Zhou Yu's intentions be hidden from my lord's eyes? However, Liang thought that his lord's agreement to depend on him and send troops to assist would be of great benefit and no harm."

    "How do you say this?" Liu Bei suddenly became interested.

    "If Yan Liang destroys Zhou Yu and takes all of Huainan, he will definitely send troops northward to attack Xu Yan. Now that the Lord is focusing on fighting for Hebei, how can he spare the troops to deal with Yan Liang's massive attack. In this case, why not support Zhou Yu  To stop Yan Liang's threat in Huainan, we only need 10,000 troops to ensure the safety of the rear, which is a great deal for the Lord."

    Zhuge Liang had a clear mind and calculated an economic account for Liu Bei.

    As Liu Bei listened, his thoughts gradually changed and he began to nod secretly.

    "Furthermore, Zhou Yu's coming to rely on us will give us the opportunity to get involved in Huainan. Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight against Yan Liang, we can slowly encroach on the land of Huainan and win over the people of Huainan. Once the time is right, the lord can send troops to go south.  We can annex Zhou Yu in one fell swoop and seize the land of Huainan. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

    After Zhuge Liang¡¯s words, Liu Bei¡¯s vision suddenly became brighter and his spirit became excited.

    After pacing for a moment, Liu Bei said happily: "What the military advisor said is absolutely true. Then I will agree to Zhou Yu's request for attachment, send someone with my order to Xuzhou, and order Yunchang to send troops to Huaihe immediately."

    Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and agreed with Liu Bei's move.

    After talking about the affairs in Huainan, Zhuge Liang changed the topic and said: "Now in detail, Cao Cao has defeated the Shangdang and has the intention of going south to invade Hanoi County. If Hanoi is lost, Luoyang will not be protected. If Cao Cao gains these two places,  , our land of Lianghe will be exposed to Cao Cao's military front, the matter is very important, my lord must be on guard."

    Liu Bei's expression, which had just improved, couldn't help but become solemn again, and he hurriedly asked Zhuge Liang for advice on how to deal with it.

    "Now that the city of Ye has been captured, Yuan Shang is at the end of his rope and cannot pose a substantial threat. In Yi Liang's opinion, the lord can postpone the attack on Yuan Shang. It is better to keep him in the north and let him block Yuan Tan's threat. In this way, the lord can  Draw out troops and horses, accept Han Meng's surrender as soon as possible, and increase troops in Hanoi and Luoyang to prevent Cao Cao from gaining the upper hand."

    Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, took his time and stated his strategy calmly and confidently.

    Liu Bei thought about it for a moment and thought deeply about it. He then said: "What the military advisor said makes sense. All we have to do is act according to what the military advisor said."

    Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, his handsome face showing confidence and calmness.

    Hanoi County, Wen County.

    In the backyard of that wealthy mansion, a man in his thirties was playing chess with a young man in his twenties.

    The thirty-year-old man was gentle and elegant, with an honest temperament and a loyal attitude.

    And that young man in his twenties, a pair ofThe eagle eyes are very sharp, and there is a hint of depth in the knife-like face.

    The two men, black and white, were fighting each other on the chessboard until they were inseparable. Although the older man had a slight advantage, his brows were furrowed and his expression was quite anxious.

    And the young man, despite being at a disadvantage, had a calm look on his face and never even frowned.

    Unknowingly, the young man came from behind and was in camp everywhere, turning from defense to offense, and gradually regained the advantage.

    After a few more chess moves, the older man threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, shook his head and sighed with a smile: "Zhongda, I didn't expect that after several months of not seeing each other, your chess skills have improved so much, and I am no longer your brother."  rival."

    The Zhongda the older man spoke of was Sima Yi, one of the Sima Baddas from a wealthy family in Wen County.

    And that older man is Sima Lang, the leader of the Bada.

    "My eldest brother works in the county and is busy with official duties. He has no intention of studying chess. He is not like my foolish brother who is idle. If I can't improve my chess skills, my time will really be wasted."

    Sima Yi was picking up the chess pieces while laughing at himself.

    "Second brother, please stop being modest. You are not an idle person. You are the number one think tank of our Sima family. If you hadn't concluded that Yuan Tan would be defeated and Xu's capital would be lost, and persuaded me to resign and return home, what would I do now?  I'm afraid that I have fallen into the hands of Yan Liang, and it will be difficult for me to play this game with my second brother. "

    ¡°It happened a long time ago, it¡¯s not worth mentioning.¡± Sima Yi smiled lightly.

    Sima Lang, however, looked serious, "Last time you persuaded me to resign because you believed that Yuan Tan would be defeated, then this time you persuaded me to resign from the county, but why?"

    "Luoyang is the site of the Four Wars, and Hanoi is separated from Luoyang by the Yellow River, so the location is sensitive. Now Han Meng has surrendered two counties to Liu Bei. I predict that Duke Cao will not accept it, and the two armies of Liu and Cao will soon have a battle.  Before the outcome is uncertain, it is best for me to resign and return home. It is best not to rush to express my position. "

    Hearing what his brother said, Sima Lang suddenly realized.

    "If it hadn't been for the reminder from my second brother, I almost missed the important event. When the army at Guandu was defeated, I was forced to surrender to Yuan Dynasty. Now if I follow Han Meng and submit to Liu Bei, if Liu Bei is defeated by Cao Gong, and Hanoi is captured by Cao Gong, then Cao Gong will bear his hatred.  Get up, brother, are you bringing trouble to the Sima family?"

    Sima Lang suddenly woke up and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

    Sima Yi only smiled faintly: "That's why Yudi said that he would rather have a quiet reputation than be tempted by fame and hastily stand in line before the situation becomes clear. The eldest brother still plays chess and reads with Yudi, stealing a moment of leisure.  Let¡¯s wait and see what happens before making any plans.¡±

    Sima Lang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "My second brother is right, come on, let's continue playing chess."

    In the quiet courtyard, the sound of falling pieces began again.

    Yingtian, Da Sima Mansion.

    "Ziyuan, are you the chief historian of Guda Sima Mansion?" Yan Liang asked.

    Xu You at the bottom of the steps was startled and said with a smile: "Of course."

    Yan Liang pointed to the couch under his buttocks and ordered unhappily: "Then please change a couch for me. This couch is too small, I can't move my body, and it's not comfortable at all."

    "Every furnishing in the Grand Sima's Mansion was designed according to the laws and regulations, including the couch." Xu You said with a wry smile.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what the rules are, if you don¡¯t like it or not, you can just change it.¡± Yan Liang said disapprovingly.

    Xu You asked: "Then I don't know what specifications the Lord plans to change to?"

    "What does it look like in the Jinluan Hall of Xudu? Just do it for Gu Zhao." Yan Liang waved his hand.

    Xu Du?  Jinluan Palace?

    Xu You was stunned for a moment, and then he was surprised to understand that Yan Liang was actually changing into the emperor's throne.

    "Well in that case, it seems to be a violation of the rules, I'm afraid people will talk about it." Xu You reminded with a smile.

    Yan Liang sneered and said disdainfully: "You have followed Gu for many years, don't you understand Gu? Those mediocre people's comments, Gu always thought they were just farts. Gu just likes the spaciousness of the throne, but he wants to  Sit down, who can do anything to me?"

    Xu You shook his head and smiled, then said nothing more.

    Having followed Yan Liang for many years, he knew his lord's temperament best. Back then, he dared to betray Yuan Shao, who owned the eight states, with only more than a thousand soldiers and horses. Moreover, with today's situation, not directly proclaiming himself emperor was considered very restrained.  Well, what's the big deal if you sit on the emperor's throne in advance.

    To do it, it is the charm of the first class of Yan Liang Superman.

    While smiling and sighing, Xu You cupped his hands and said: "Okay, justIf the lord is happy, just treat those mediocre people talking behind their backs as farts.  "

    The old Xu You, under the influence of Yan Liang, couldn't help but use "foul language" at this time.

    Yan Liang was then satisfied and asked: "Ziyuan, you are here in such a hurry. Do you have something important to report?"

    Xu You then remembered and hurriedly handed over a silk letter, "Your Majesty, I have come to report the detailed work of Huainan. There are various signs that Zhou Yu may have colluded with Liu Bei."

    Yan Liang frowned slightly and unfolded the silk information presented to him to take a closer look.

    The information inside is very detailed. More than a month ago, Zhou Yu sent an envoy Kan Ze to Xuzhou to meet Guan Yu, and Guan Yu sent Kan Ze to Yecheng, obviously to meet Liu Bei.

    Since Kan Ze came back, there have been constant exchanges of envoys between the two parties, and the originally hostile relationship has become extremely close for a while.

    In recent days, the Xuzhou left-behind legion led by Guan Yu has also begun to intensify training, and Guan Yu is still requisitioning a large number of merchant ships, obviously preparing for war.

    Various signs from Guan Yu indicate that Liu Bei is likely to be ready to assist Zhou Yu.

    Snapped!

    Yan Liang slapped the table fiercely and said coldly: "The noble Zhou Lang is so shameless that he actually knelt down and asked for help from Liu Bei. It seems that the time for the Northern Expedition must be brought forward." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, novels  Better updates faster!)
