At this moment, Zhang Nan's words suddenly echoed in Liu Bei's mind.
Who is this Lord of Jingzhou?
If he can't even decide the life or death of his generals, who is Liu Bei the leader of Jingzhou?
Zhang Nan is nothing, just kill him.
But could this be a danger signal?
This time I was forced to kill Zhang Nan, what about next time?
Will it be Mi Fang and Shi Ren next time?
Will it be Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's turn later?
In Jingzhou, is the surname Liu or Zhuge?
"Kong Ming, I told you, this matter has not been finalized yet!"
"I, Liu Bei, regard benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of my life. Benevolence and righteousness are more important than my life!"
"If today we kill innocent people indiscriminately, how can we talk about benevolence and justice?"
"What's the difference between me, Liu Bei, and the traitor Cao Cao, and the traitor Liu Zhang!"
At the last sentence, Liu Bei almost roared.
The voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, even a little bit resentful.
It seemed to be targeting Liu Zhang, himself, and even Zhuge Liang in front of him.
"Lord, you..."
Zhuge Liang was completely frozen in place. He wanted to say that you let me down so much.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't blurt them out.
As a minister, how could he say these words to his lord?
Once some words are spoken, they can never be taken back.
Just like a broken mirror, no matter how well it is restored, there will be cracks.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's extremely complicated expression and the words that seemed to be about to blurt out, Liu Bei's heart was extremely nervous.
Liu Bei is such a troubled and capricious person.
Sometimes when my mind gets hot, I just say it regardless.
But once you say it, you will immediately regret it.
Worried about not being able to bear the consequences of speaking out.
At this time, Liu Bei was worried about breaking with Zhuge Liang.
Under such circumstances, without Zhuge Liang's support, how many more days could Liu Bei be the leader of Jingzhou?
But Liu Bei was unwilling to give in. He didn't want to give in.
Once this hole is opened, it will only get bigger and bigger!
However, Liu Bei did not want to completely fall out with Zhuge Liang.
As long as Zhuge Liang gives him a step up, Liu Bei doesn't mind just going down the slope!
Zhuge Liang didn't speak again for a long time, and Liu Bei's heart became more and more nervous.
The longer time passed, the more serious the regret in Liu Bei's heart became.
Do you want me to apologize to Zhuge Liang?
How can there be any reason in this world for a master to apologize to his ministers?
At this moment, Zhuge Liang finally spoke.
"My lord is a benevolent and righteous king, Liang admires him endlessly!"
"But have you ever thought about it, my lord? At this time, Liu Zhang is taking advantage of my lord's benevolence and righteousness to plan Nanjun!"
Liu Bei's eyes lit up. He knew the steps were coming, and he immediately acted extremely panicked.
"What! Is this Liu Zhang's conspiracy?"
Perhaps because he was too nervous, Liu Bei's voice became sharp again.
Fortunately, these didn't matter anymore, Zhuge Liang immediately understood what Liu Bei meant.
If you see through it but don’t tell it, you can act as if it never happened!
"My lord, have you ever thought that Zhang Nan was deliberately disturbed by Liu Zhang to disturb the morale of the army?"
"Now all the soldiers and civilians in Jiangling know that it was Zhang Nan who framed their brothers, their relatives, and their parents!"
"Zhang Nan was caught, but instead of executing their whole family, what would the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling City think?"
"They will think that the lord values the people of Xuzhou and does not care about the life and death of the people in Jingzhou!"
"At that time, the morale of the army will collapse, morale will be lost, and the soldiers will have no fighting power, let alone the will to resist!"
"Once Liu Zhang takes the opportunity to attack, the big thing will be over!"
Liu Bei's mouth opened wider and wider, with a look of shock on his face.
Is this a step that Zhuge Liang deliberately gave him, or is there really such a crisis?
"Kong Ming, this...I..."
Zhuge Liang sighed softly, full of helplessness.
"Lord, Liang is not being alarmist! Nanjun is in danger now!"
"The most important thing in Jingzhou is not the four counties in Jingnan, nor Nanyang and Jiangxia, but this Nanjun!"
"Nanjun is bounded by the Nanyang Central Plains to the north, Jiangxia and Yuzhang to the east, Bajun of Yizhou to the west, and the four counties of Jingnan to the south."
"If Nanjun is occupied by our army, we can attack everywhere, but if it falls into Liu Zhang's hands, we will be completely blocked in Jingnan!"
Judging from Zhuge Liang's helpless tone and serious look, Liu Bei felt that this was not alarmist.
It definitely doesn't look like a lie made up to find a way out for him!
"Kong Ming, doesn't Liu Zhang have the power to advance eastward?"
Zhuge Liang frowned, looking incomprehensible.
"My lord, who did you hear this from?"
"Zhang...hiss...!"
As soon as he blurted out a word, Liu Bei took in a breath of cold air, and then his whole body became stiff.
Unknowingly, he fell into Liu Zhang's conspiracy!
What is the difference between the news brought by Zhang Nan and what Liu Zhang told him directly?
What about Xu Shu, what about population, what about exchange, everything is to divert attention.
Transfer Liu Bei's energy to the unimportant Zhang Nan and the unidentified Xu Shu.
The temptation of exchanging hostages made Liu Bei unknowingly abandon Xu Shu.
This will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Xu Shu's friend Zhuge Liang!
With Zhuge Liang's character, he will definitely complain about his friends and even create a gap with Liu Bei.
Facts have proved that Liu Zhang succeeded!
Everything is developing according to Liu Zhang's expectation.
Liu Bei was successfully misled and began to complain about Zhuge Liang because he sympathized with Zhang Nan!
If Zhuge Liang hadn't reminded him, Liu Bei himself would have been kept in the dark and would have been complacent.
At this moment, Liu Bei realized that he was too naive and stupid!
Because a little Zhang Nan aroused huge conflicts.
Who is Zhang Nan? He would not even blink an eye if he died in front of Liu Bei.
For such a despicable thing, I almost got out of hand!
What frightened Liu Bei the most was that he actually thought of breaking with Zhuge Liang.
It's all so terrible!
Liu Zhang just asked Zhang Nan to bring back some news, which caused such violent turmoil!
if. . .
Liu Bei no longer dared to imagine what would happen if this happened.
This crisis is more terrifying than being surrounded by Liu Zhang's army!
"Why..."
Liu Bei's expression was very painful, and he sighed unwillingly.
When it comes to conspiracy and controlling people's hearts, he is far worse than Liu Zhang!
Liu Bei felt that he had lived so many years longer than Liu Zhang in vain.
"My lord, Liu Zhang is a treacherous man who is always difficult to guard against!"
"To confront Liu Zhang, we must consider all aspects."
"My lord, you might as well think carefully. With Zhang Nan's courage, do you dare to attack me?"
Liu Bei's whole face was so embarrassed that he felt like it was twitching together.
Zhang Nan is usually very cautious, but how can he be so bold?
"Today it's Zhang Nan, and tomorrow there will be Wang Nan, Zhao Nan, and Guan Nan! I hope my lord will take this as a warning!"
Zhuge Liang is both a kind reminder and a stern warning.
At least today, he had clearly told Liu Bei that he didn't want it to happen again.
"Don't worry, Kong Ming, I will be more careful in the future!"
"What about Zhang Nan...?"
Liu Bei took a deep breath, and then a determined killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Tomorrow at noon, the whole family will be killed!"
