Both Liu Mang and Zhuge Liang were firmly opposed to giving Guan Yu the power to fake a festival.
This also made Liu Bei ask a question from his soul.
"My second brother, is he really useless?"
Zhuge Liang spread his hands, indicating that he could not explain this.
"There is no problem with my second uncle's ability, but his character determines his destiny."
"Jingzhou did not allow him to garrison because he was afraid that he would look down on Sun Quan and attract his allies to backstab him."
"Now Xingba is in charge of the navy, Fourth Uncle Zhao is calm and capable, but Cao Cao is the giant in the south, and Sun Quan is in the east."
Liu Mang then thought of his second uncle Guan Yu. He had good abilities and character, but his arrogance was better than Wan Zhonglang!
"The land west of Hexi has finally returned to peace."
"I also used this to give the Xianbei people living space and to do business with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions."
"What if after giving the second uncle the power of Jiajie Yue, he suddenly looks down on Xianbei and the people from the Western Regions, causing chaos in the Hexi region?"
"At that time, Cao Cao will send troops from Chang'an, Xianbei will attack from Hexi, and the troops from the Western Regions will attack..."
Liu Mang had finished speaking. Liu Bei fell into silence after hearing this.
Once Liangzhou falls into a pincer attack, all Han troops remaining there will be in danger.
"Second brother, second brother, for Liangzhou, don't blame me."
"Forget it if you don't have the power of Jiajie Yue, at least give my second brother Liangzhou Mu!"
"After all, my second brother is invincible in the world!"
Liu Bei still worried about Guan Yu's feelings. Although Zhou Mu had military power, it was far less terrifying than Jiajie Yue.
Sun Quan could only lead an army of 100,000, and Guan Yu was an official without any pretense. This is the unspoken rule of the Three Kingdoms!
Liu Mang naturally had to strictly follow it and make sure there were no mistakes.
"It's okay for Liangzhou Mu to do it for Yun Chang."
"But in the future, when Yun Chang is in Liangzhou, the king and Yide will not be able to see him all the time. It would be a pity for the three brothers to be separated!"
"With Yun Chang's talent, why not stay in Chengdu, where he can go out as a general and suppress the court."
Zhuge Liang pays attention to the art of conversation and does not directly oppose Guan Yu's appointment as the shepherd of Liangzhou, but looks at the problem from Liu Bei's perspective.
After all, you three brothers all have a sincere and stable relationship. If one of you leaves Chengdu, it will be difficult to meet again!
It's better to stay in Chengdu together, the three brothers just want to stay together!
"Who do you think the military advisor can serve as the pastor of Liangzhou?"
Liu Bei was already moved. Since the three brothers raised their troops in Zhuojun, they had only been separated when they were defeated in Xuzhou.
After gathering together in the ancient city, we are no longer separated from each other.
"Zhang Ji, Zhang Derong! This man's political achievements are already the best among the three assistants to Cao Cao!"
"Assisting the people and promoting government cannot be held without Zhang Derong!"
"I also hope that your Majesty will trust me, and with the military support of Pang De and Ma Dai, I can ensure that Liangzhou is worry-free!"
The reason why Zhuge Liang recommended Zhang Ji is very simple: he can assist the people and promote government, and he will not offend the Qiang and Hu!
Peace in Liangzhou is the most important. The Han Dynasty is still trapped in the war in the Central Plains, especially the fortified city of Chang'an!
Once Chang'an is conquered and the old capital of the Western Han Dynasty is restored, the morale of the Han army will be strong!
Liu Bei finally had the opportunity to point his sword at the Central Plains, just like his ancestor Liu Bang, ruling the land of Guanzhong in the Three Qin Dynasty!
Zhuge Liang is closely connected with each other, from the use of talents to the arrangement of policies, all are considered for Liu Bei.
"Your Majesty, if you want to attack Chang'an Jiancheng, you must have a general like Yun Chang!"
Zhuge Liang gave Guan Yu another high hat, how could Liu Bei not understand?
"Okay! Just follow what the military advisor said! Feng Zhang will be appointed as the shepherd of Liangzhou, and Pang De and Ma Dai will assist him!"
"When Liangzhou is at peace, Meng Qi returns to Hanzhong, and Yunchang and Yide return to Chengdu!"
"Mang'er, military advisor, do you think this arrangement is good?"
Zhuge Liang nodded, and Liu Mang had no objection.
"Dad, there is one more thing. I have been recuperating in Chengdu for a while, and then I plan to return to Jingzhou."
"Mr. Chengdu is in charge, and there are Lu Boyan and Fa Xiaozhi. As long as you listen to others' advice, you can have enough to eat."
"Jingzhou is different! With Cao Cao in the north and Sun Quan in the east, it can be said that we are surrounded by powerful enemies!"
"Fourth Uncle Zhao only has Xing Ba and Zhang Ren, plus Mr. Pang as his assistant!"
Liu Mang's meaning is very clear, he wants to return to Jingzhou!
"It's okay for you to go back! But the child can't leave!"
"The eldest granddaughter and grandson are still too young and must stay in Chengdu!"
"By the way, you don't have to worry about naming it! Your mother and I will arrange it together!"
Now that Liu Mang has a son, Liu Bei's performance is outstanding.
The treacherous son cannot be trusted, and he has to be his own grandchild.
"Ahem! May I ask this big daddy, what do you want to name your grandchildren?"
"Hmph! The eldest grandson will be called Liu Ji, and the granddaughter will be called Liu Ru!"
"Don't worry, I have already thought of the name of the child!"
Liu Bei was complacent at this time, but Zhuge Liang had already guessed something and didn't say much.
"Dad! We are members of the Han clan, not some traitors and rebels!"
"I'm not telling you, old man, can you do something serious?"
"Feng Chan Yongli, longevity and longevity, all your thoughts are revealed!"
As soon as Liu Mang said this, the emperor's uncle blushed.
"This is my father's expectation for the next generation. What do you, a child, know?"
"Dad, I'm already in my twenties!"
"Then you are still a child in front of me!"
Liu Bei had lived a comfortable life these years, and Mrs. Wu finally blossomed and gave birth to two sons.
Liu Bei was overjoyed, one was Liu Yong and the other was Liu Li.
But compared to these two younger brothers, Liu Mang naturally has no feelings.
Everyone in the Dongzhou faction also saw clearly that even if Wu Yi's sister gave birth to a son, she would not be able to threaten Liu Mang's status.
"Qiling and Aren still need to recuperate, so you can go back to Jingzhou by yourself!"
"You choose your own generals in the court. If you have nothing to do, don't delay me from having my grandchildren."
After that, Liu Bei left in a hurry, and then there was laughter teasing Liu Ji and Liu Ru.
"Sir, with Cao Cao's methods, he will never sit back and watch us take Liangzhou."
The master and apprentice were alone together, and Zhuge Liang decided to teach him the lesson face to face.
"Of course, Cao Cao will not let go of such a good opportunity in Jingzhou, the place where the Four Battles took place."
"If I were Cao Cao, I could annex Chang'an and act as a suspect to attract our troops."
"Then attack Jingxiang with a large army! There are not many defenders in Jingzhou, especially since all our defense forces are in Hanzhong and Liangzhou."
Zhuge Liang hit the nail on the head and revealed his guess about Cao Cao's movements.
"Cao Cao is planning this. If our army supports Jingzhou, we will attack Hanzhong."
"If he doesn't move, he can besiege Jingxiang."
"In addition, there is Sun Quan next to him. It is very likely that the two sides will hit it off and weave a network to encircle Jingzhou."
Liu Mang sensed the crisis in Jingzhou and was worried that Zhao Yun, Pang Tong and others would not be able to cope with it.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. When Liu Bei entered Shu, he also took many elites from Jingzhou with him.
As for Jiaozhou's support, I'm afraid it will take some time, not to mention the need to beware of Soochow's attack from Nanhai County.
"It won't be too late. Young Master can return to Jingxiang as soon as possible!"
