Guan Yu!
Zhang Nan's words pointed out a clear way for Liu Bei.
If there is anyone Liu Bei can trust without reservation, they are only his two sworn brothers.
But if it is broken down further, Guan Yu makes Liu Bei trust him even more.
Zhang Fei was close to people from aristocratic families and highly respected these scribes, while Guan Yu was just the opposite.
It can be seen from the last time that Guan Yu desperately beat Zhuge Liang.
Once anyone dares to pose a threat to Liu Bei's rule, Guan Yu will definitely be the first to stand up and obliterate everything!
Bang!
The door was suddenly kicked open, and the soldiers outside finally rushed in after hearing the noise.
"Lord!"
The soldiers exclaimed, the mess in the room frightened them greatly.
Zhuge Liang was unconscious, and Liu Bei forced Zhang Nan with his sword.
Without Liu Bei's orders, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and punched and kicked Zhang Nan.
Liu Bei didn't stop him, he just glanced at them angrily.
I cursed in my heart how fast these guards reacted!
If it was an assassination, these people could collect the bodies for themselves!
"alright!"
After seeing Zhang Nan about to be beaten to death, Liu Bei spoke.
"Put Zhang Nan in jail!"
"As you command!"
The guards moved very quickly and dragged Zhang Nan out of the room, who was frequently dying.
The room was quiet, but Liu Bei's heart was even more confused.
He rubbed his forehead gently, thinking about the next countermeasures.
Guan Yu must be replaced no matter what.
Liu Bei even recognized it even if he sacrificed 100,000 people.
It is impossible for Liao Hua, Fu Kuang and other descendants of the Jingzhou family to give up.
There is probably no way to save these 100,000 people.
The Jingzhou family sent their children to help Liu Bei, but after they were captured, Liu Bei ignored him?
Which family is willing to help Liu Bei in the future?
Liu Bei didn't want to give up these more than 10,000 soldiers.
It is easy to recruit 10,000 soldiers, but it is very difficult to train them well and form combat effectiveness.
Without three to five years, there is no way to fight.
After thinking about it, it seemed that Xu Shu was the only one who could give up.
And it’s impossible not to give up!
Liu Bei's right to choose Xu Shu is no longer in Liu Bei's hands.
Even if Liu Bei decided that Xu Shu was not a traitor and exchanged 100,000 people for him, would he still dare to use it?
And let Xu Shu be the commander-in-chief of Nanjun?
Liu Bei's heart is not that big!
What if, what if Xu Shu is really Liu Zhang's man?
But if he doesn't serve as the commander-in-chief of Nanjun, what else can he be asked to do?
No need for Xu Shu?
No need to exchange 100,000 people for it?
Liu Bei is full of food. There are too many people under his command?
Even if Liu Zhang released Xu Shu to Liu Bei for free, Liu Bei wouldn't know how to arrange it.
Xu Shu has transformed from a talented commander into a hot potato!
The news brought by Zhang Nan, whether true or false, has pierced Liu Bei's heart like a poisonous thorn.
Even if Liu Bei forcibly pulled it out, the place where it was stabbed was still contaminated with poison, which lingered.
Perhaps every time Liu Bei thinks of Xiaoting in the future, he will think of Xu Shu.
Liu Bei could also guess some of the reasons why Zhuge Liang spared Xu Shu.
The relationship between the two is very close, perhaps no less than the relationship between himself and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Secondly, Xu Shu was not a native of Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang would not be criticized if he reused Xu Shu.
Furthermore, Xu Shu's own talents are astonishing, at least among the talented Liu Bei army, he is at the top.
Since Xu Shu became the commander-in-chief of the Nanjun army, he has made numerous military exploits.
If it weren't for Liu Zhang's sudden attack, Xu Shu would not have suffered any defeat.
For such an all-round talent, Liu Bei was unwilling to give up.
But what if you don’t give up?
Not knowing how to use Xu Shu is Liu Bei's biggest problem at the moment.
If Zhuge Liang didn't exist, it would be easier to say.
Xu Shu became Liu Bei's only mastermind, and Liu Bei had no choice.
Now that Zhuge Liang is there, Xu Shu or not has become the icing on the cake.
There is a more important point, which Zhuge Liang emphasized.
People without foundation can be abandoned.
Compared with probably at least 200,000 people, Xu Shu can really be discarded!
"call..."
Liu Bei spit out heavily, he already had the answer in his heart.
Except for Zhuge Liang, no one really cares about Xu Shu!
"Lord, it seems you already have the answer..."
At this moment, Zhuge Liang's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Liu Bei suppressed the fear in his heart and turned around quickly.
It turned out that Zhuge Liang stood up from the ground at some point.
"Kong Ming, how are you!"
He did not answer the question, but paid full attention to Zhuge Liang's body.
"Lord, Liang is fine."
"No, please show me quickly!"
Liu Bei didn't believe it. How could he be okay after being hit like this?
Zhuge Liang gently pulled Liu Bei away and shook his head at him.
"Lord, Liang is really fine."
"What do you think, my lord, about Xu Shu?"
Facing Zhuge Liang's eyes, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel weak.
He really didn't dare to openly say that he gave up on Xu Shu.
"Kong Ming, I plan to send someone to contact Liu Zhang."
"First confirm whether what Zhang Nan said is true, and then make a decision!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Bei's opinion.
"Who does the Lord intend to send?"
"Mi Zhu."
Liu Bei blurted out without any thought.
Mi Zhu was an old man who followed Liu Bei, someone who could give up his billions of wealth for Liu Bei.
He is also one of the few people Liu Bei trusts.
Zhuge Liang once again expressed his approval, and there was no problem with Mi Zhu's talent as a messenger.
"My lord is wise. If Mi Zhu goes there, he will definitely be able to find out Liu Zhang's true and false status."
"I wonder what my lord will do with Zhang Nan?"
Why!
Liu Bei sighed secretly in his heart, as expected.
Zhang Nan fought so hard, how could Zhuge Liang spare him so easily?
"Don't worry Kong Ming, I will definitely not let Zhang Nan off lightly!"
"Before Mi Zhu comes back, lock him up first. Wait until everything is clear before dealing with him!"
Liu Bei's attitude was very firm, as if he wanted to let Zhuge Liang make the decision.
Unfortunately, this did not satisfy Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang shook his head and categorically rejected Liu Bei's opinion.
"Lord, Zhang Nan and his family must be executed as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, there is no way to explain to the officers and soldiers of the three armies and the people of Jiangling!"
Liu Bei was naturally reluctant to Zhuge Liang's proposal.
"Military advisor, the possibility of Zhang Nan's rebellion is very small! Isn't this inappropriate?"
Zhang Nan was clearly not a spy and had no fault at all, yet he still desperately came back to report the situation.
It's okay if such a meritorious minister is not rewarded. Do we still want to kill his whole family?
What is the difference between doing this and killing innocent people indiscriminately?
"As the lord of Jingzhou, how can I change my order every day?"
"Now millions of soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou know that Zhang Nan is a traitor. If we don't kill him, how can we calm the public's anger?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of sternness, his attitude was extremely determined, and there was no room for negotiation!
