Defeat Liu Zhang?
Liu Bei couldn't help but froze on the spot.
For him, maybe this is a good wish!
If Zhuge Liang had said this to Liu Bei before marching into Yuzhang, Liu Bei would have told Zhuge Liang excitedly.
think!
Think about it all the time!
Just because Liu Zhang said "big-eared thief", people all over the world now call him "big-eared thief".
He was obviously a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but he became a thief that everyone shouted to beat. All this was thanks to Liu Zhang.
However, after experiencing the Battle of Yuzhang, Liu Bei's view of Zhuge Liang changed somewhat.
Zhuge Liang is a human being, not a god. He is not omnipotent and cannot solve all problems.
Lu Xun, who had 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers in front of him, couldn't deal with it. How dare he try to defeat Liu Zhang, who led 100,000 elite soldiers?
"That...Kong Ming..."
"I will be satisfied if I can keep Nan County intact..."
It's not that Liu Bei has lost his ambition, but that he has completely recognized the reality!
He couldn't even defeat the Sun family in Jiangdong who had just put down the civil strife, and he still wanted to defeat Liu Zhang, who was countless times stronger than the Sun family?
"Haha, don't worry, my lord, Liang has his own way!"
Zhuge Liang understood Liu Bei's timid mood very well, and then gave him a gentle smile to reassure him.
"This sneak attack on Yuzhang was caused by Liang's misjudgment of the situation. It seems that Jiangdong cannot be captured in one go!"
Liu Bei nodded helplessly, this was already an obvious fact.
Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang's eyes reappeared with light.
"But this failure also gives us a new opportunity!"
"Oh? Kong Ming, come quickly!"
Liu Bei was slightly shocked. Zhuge Liang looked as confident as he did when he was in Longzhong.
It was this self-confidence that helped Liu Bei seize Jingnan and attack Nanjun!
"My lord, in the fight against Jiangdong, there is no way around the word water. Therefore, without the navy, it is impossible to completely capture Jiangdong."
Zhuge Liang said he was not embarrassed, but Liu Bei sounded embarrassed.
When the two of them met in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang vowed to cross the thorns and raise the two states.
Now that I have faced such a setback, I have to overturn my plan.
Liu Bei was in a complicated mood, and Zhuge Liang's mood was not much better.
Originally, his intention was to unite with Liu Zhang, who was also a member of the clan, so that more troops could be invested in Jiangdong.
Who would have thought that Liu Zhang and Liu Bei were irresolvable mortal enemies, and Jingzhou was now besieged on all sides!
"Kong Ming, are you ready to give up on Yangzhou?"
Zhuge Liang nodded heavily without any hesitation.
"My lord, Yizhou is thousands of miles of fertile and fertile land. This is the land of abundance! Liu Zhang can claim it and establish a country and dominate it!"
"After years of development by Liu Zhang, Yizhou has become the largest state in the world in terms of population, economy, grain production, etc."
"If we cross Yizhou and Jingzhou, and then connect with Sun Quan, we can achieve great hegemony!"
Liu Bei did not talk nonsense or dance excitedly after hearing this. He had already heard these words once in Longzhong.
At the beginning, it spanned Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and joined forces with Liu Zhang to achieve great hegemony.
"Well, Kong Ming..."
"I also want to cross to Yizhou, but is it that easy to cross?"
It wasn't that Liu Bei was attacking Zhuge Liang, it was that he felt that this matter was extremely unrealistic.
In fact, Liu Bei also understood Zhuge Liang's logic. Anyway, either unite the west or the east.
I'm afraid if Cao Cao hadn't been entrusted with the Han prime minister's name and was actually a Han traitor, Zhuge Liang wouldn't have minded liaising with Cao Cao!
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and did not pay attention to Liu Bei's doubts.
In his mind, a huge plan has already appeared!
"My lord, if Liu Zhang is in Chang'an and Yufu Dongjun cannot retreat, we really have no chance!"
"But now Liu Zhang is here in person, and the Eastern Army, which has not yet completed training, is launching the Eastern Expedition. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"
Liu Bei twisted his facial features, but still couldn't arouse much interest.
"Kong Ming, even if we defeat the invading Eastern Army and Liu Zhang, can we easily invade Yizhou?"
"As far as I know, just the recovery of the Three Gorges and Kawaguchi is a natural hazard!"
Many years ago, Cai Mao drank and hated Yufu, and the whole army was wiped out and captured alive. It has become a laughing stock until now!
Liu Bei would not look down upon Cai Mao, nor would he look down upon Liu Zhang.
The danger level of Yufu is definitely no less than that of Xiongguan Tianqian!
Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement, but still had a look of confidence on his face.
"My lord, what if we can completely annihilate Liu Zhang's Eastern Army?"
Liu Bei was slightly startled. If the Eastern Army was gone, Yu Fu would naturally close his doors.
"Kong Ming, after the Eastern Army is destroyed, we can indeed enter Yizhou."
"It's just that Liu Zhang has too many soldiers. They will be able to support Yizhou soon..."
This sneak attack on Yuzhang really taught Liu Bei a lesson.
Fighting in the enemy's homeland is subject to too many constraints.
When we invade Yizhou in the future, we will inevitably encounter this situation again.
In the end, a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted, and I am afraid it will end in an embarrassing escape!
"Lord, what if we capture Liu Zhang alive?"
Zhuge Liang said these shocking words without any warning, causing the room to fall into silence.
Not only Liu Bei was shocked and speechless, but also Fu Kuang on the side was surprised and at a loss.
Capture Liu Zhang alive?
Zhuge Liang really dared to think!
"Kong Ming, how treacherous is Liu Zhang? It would be hard to capture him alive..."
Fu Kuang also had the same idea as Liu Bei. He had just been defeated by Liu Zhang's army. Now he wanted to capture Liu Zhang alive?
Faced with the doubts of the two men, Zhuge Liang was still confident.
"Lord, maybe it wasn't possible before, but since Liu Zhang personally led the army to attack Nanjun, the opportunity has come!"
Liu Bei's heart moved, and ambition quickly took over his reason.
The benefits brought by capturing Liu Zhang alive are too huge, and he may be able to inherit the entire foundation of Qin in one fell swoop!
Thinking that he could also ascend to the position of Duke and call himself Qin Gong, Liu Bei kept swallowing his saliva.
"Kong Ming, what do you want to do!"
Liu Bei made up his mind to take a risk as long as it didn't cost his life!
"Lord, there is only one reason why Liu Zhang dares to extend the battle line so unscrupulously. He bullies us because we have no navy."
"Liu Zhang was sure that Yuan Zhi would place his main force in the north of the Yangtze River. Without a naval force, he would be unable to transport troops and would be helpless on the south bank."
"As long as our magic soldiers descend from the sky and return suddenly, we can arbitrarily divide Liu Zhang's Eastern Army and then gradually eliminate it!"
"Yiliang's understanding of Liu Zhang is that he will personally lead the army to attack Yidao. We only need to cross the mountains from Wuling and trap him to death under Yidao City!"
Liu Bei's breathing became tense. According to Zhuge Liang's plan, it seemed that he didn't need to take any risks. . .
"Kong Ming, what should Yuzhang County do?"
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and finally he could happily say what he was thinking.
"Retreat and ask Sun Quan for peace..."
