He ​​was extremely anxious and careless. After guarding Shouchun, there was still a loophole in Xiapi that could not be completely blocked. There were too few people in Xuzhou and there was simply not enough.

We have gained the land of Huainan, but we still cannot defend the whole territory...

Zhuge's plan for Liu Bei was not to retreat from Sun Ce's army, but to help Liu Bei establish his foundation. However, this man was really ruthless. His moves were dazzling and gorgeous, and he planned the overall situation.

Fortunately, for the sake of safety, we did not leave Shouchun. Otherwise, Xiapi and Shouchun would have been stolen.

Xu Shu immediately wrote a letter to Chen Gong and Jia Xu, while thinking about Guan Yu's movements.

Liu Bei didn't even try his best to defend Jingzhou, which shows that he was very half-hearted. Jingzhou is very important to Liu Biao, so of course Liu Bei tried his best to save it, but it is difficult for him to defend like Liu Biao.

For the sake of his foundation, Liu Bei can abandon any place at any time, no matter where he is. Xiaopei is like this, Guangling is like this... and now, Jingzhou is like this, meaning that he can't hold it, and he wants to capture Huainan.

But Zhuge wholeheartedly wanted to help him win Jingzhou!

Xu Shu deeply felt that Liu Biao was really blinded by Liu Bei's virtue. He was old, not blind. He actually thought Liu Bei would be an ally and entrusted Jingzhou to him.

Xu Shu wandered back and forth, having already made up his mind. He couldn't be so passive about this matter.

Jingzhou cannot be surrendered to others under any circumstances.

When he stayed in Shouchun, it was not only for defense, but also to keep an eye on what was going on in Jingzhou. Once he had the opportunity, he would definitely seize it and not let it go.

He calmly began to write a letter. Who was he writing to? To Cai Mao.

It’s time to heat up.

Otherwise, if Kong Ming goes there, he might be able to deceive Liu Biao and let him drive away the Cai family. It will really give Liu Bei an advantage.

Kong Ming, Kong Ming, our positions are different, we are already in opposition.

Don't blame me. From now on, everyone will compete with each other and show no mercy.

After the letter was sent, Wei Xu was very nervous and kept guarding Shouchun City tightly, because he was an injured general and could defend but could no longer attack. Although he escorted the grain and grass transportation, however, in terms of deploying troops and setting up defenses, he

I still have a lot of experience, and it is also because I have accumulated many years of experience and sensitivity, and these have not been lost.

Xu Shu counted the time and led his elite troops out of the city to block Zhuge.

Wei Xu became anxious and said: "Yuan Zhi, if something happens to Yuan Zhi and no one is there to watch over Shouchun, what should we do?! We are here for one person, why should we do this?!"

"This is the only chance to stop him. If I can't stop him this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop his energy in the future," Xu Shu said, "It's okay to have you in Shouchun. Don't worry, this is the territory of Shouchun.

Can you murder someone? Don’t worry.”

Xu Shu insisted on leaving the city, his expression serious, more serious than ever before. Wei Xu could only suppress his worry and said: "Take two hundred soldiers with you, just in case something unexpected happens."

"Okay, two hundred soldiers are enough in Huainan." Xu Shu said: "General Wei only closed the city and did not leave, so he will be fine."

"Be careful with Guan Yu. If he joins forces with Zhuge, he may get into trouble." Wei continued.

Xu Shu nodded in agreement, and without further ado, he took two hundred elite soldiers and hurried out of the city, heading all the way to the junction until he arrived at the Huai River area. He thought he would be able to block Zhuge on the road he must pass.

Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late.

All the way down the Huai River, I finally saw a black-paneled boat. When I saw the bow, wasn't it Zhuge, dressed in civilian clothes and holding a feather fan, standing there?!

Xu Shu's heart sank. The boat had left the shore. Although it was still on the water, Xu Shu knew that it was too late.

This Zhuge is really elusive.

Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming, I heard that you have been in Xuzhou for a long time, why don't you want to stay? I will go back to Xuzhou, so why don't you wait for me to go back to discuss important matters? Besides, the young master has not returned to Xu yet, and you haven't seen him yet. Aren't you sorry?!

”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "I have no regrets about seeing such a grand event in Xuzhou. It doesn't matter whether I see the young lady or not."

Are you afraid that the young master will not be able to leave when he comes back?!

Xu Shu's face was solemn, and it was a bit unclear to see his face on the shore. At this moment, he thought that he was no longer the Xu Yuanzhi who just smiled. He felt more vigilant and cautious in his heart.

If the water flow caused by Kong Ming's visit was too large and flooded the Huainan area, Xu Shu would really blame himself. He should not have recommended him to Liu Bei in the first place. Instead, he caused trouble to the Huainan area.

"I expected that Yuan Zhi would come, and Liang had been here for a long time," Zhuge said, "Yuan Zhi asked me to stay, and I thought of Liang in my heart. However, everyone has his own ambitions, so it is difficult to obey his orders."

"Kong Ming specially waited for me here?!" Xu Shu said: "I knew I was bound to come?!"

Zhuge nodded and smiled, saying: "Liang and Yuan Zhi have always been friends, but I'm afraid that we won't have any personal friendship in the future. Each has his own master and his own bias. When we meet again, we will already be enemies, which is a pity. Thank you very much for the previous time.

Liang is grateful for Yuan Zhi's kindness, but he is afraid of affecting Yuan Zhi's situation in Xuzhou."

"Excuse me for your concern, the young master is not an intolerable person. She is so powerful that I will not care." Xu Shu said.

Zhuge just laughed and she didn't care. Don't you blame yourself?!

Zhuge also smiled sadly and said: "Xuzhou, the Xuzhou that has never been seen in the world, has been famous for a long time, and it is new to both ears and eyes. This young lady is indeed a rare talent."

"Since you are a great talent, why don't you help me?!" Xu Shu said.

Zhuge Liang just laughed and stopped answering.

The atmosphere at this moment was very strange. Zhuge Liang seemed to be the only one on the boat.

A murderous intention arose in Xu Shu's heart. On the one hand, he was concerned about his feelings, but on the other hand, he didn't want to break up now. On the other hand, he felt that there must be a defense in this tent, and this was not an empty ship. If it was just

An empty boat and two hundred men's bows and arrows are enough to shoot through the boat. However, if the boat has a canopy, it may not be so easy to succeed.

So Xu Shu was weighing in his mind whether he could succeed now that he was at odds.

If you can succeed, it will be worth it even if you break up. No matter life or death, it is best to bring Zhuge ashore so that he cannot escape.

But if you can't succeed and tear your face apart, it will only anger Zhuge and lose even the last trace of his face, which is not good.

Xu Shu's heartburn is actually scratching his heart. On the surface, he doesn't have any reaction. In fact, he is in the same situation as Cao Cao. Cao Cao's state of mind when facing Lu Xian in Yanzhou is very similar to his current state of mind.

Therefore, he hesitates to take action and cannot make a decision, not because he is not decisive, but because he is afraid that he will not succeed and will push things in a worse direction.

Xu Shu couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he started to delay, saying: "This is the Huai River. Why doesn't Kong Ming go to Nanyang or Xiangyang?!"

Zhuge also smiled meaningfully and said: "Isn't Yuan Zhi also here to pursue me? Why don't you go to Nanyang and Xiangyang to block Liang?!" He said it as if you didn't expect it.

We have been friends for many years, who doesn’t know who we are?

Everyone laughed when he said it, and Xu Shu said: "Kong Ming must go to Jiangdong?!"

"We have to go!" Zhuge said with a smile: "There is a dragon spirit hidden in this place, and it has the power to soar to the sky. If we don't plan for it early, when it is strong, all the princes in the world will be restrained. What you do will benefit the Han Dynasty and the world."

”

Xu Shu's heart kept sinking, and he said: "I'm afraid Kong Ming has no intention, how can he seduce Lu? It's true that Sun Ce has the strength, but Liu Xuande has not yet established a foundation, and it will take time for Kong Ming to help him, which may be ten years at most, or less.

It would take three to five years to get a single blow. How could this be accomplished?! And Sun Ce had a grudge against Liu Biao. How could Kong Ming deal with it? Could it be that he had betrayed the masters of Jingzhou and Jiangdong?!"

These are of course problems, so this is where Xu Shu’s thorn lies.

Of course Zhuge would not answer this question head-on. A head-on answer would be low-end. Moreover, it was the result of a mental retardation. Could it be that he told Xu Shu his plan? He is not the boastful person like Pang Tong.

Finding faults, right? Of course Zhuge will find faults too.

He shook his fan feathers and said with a smile: "Jingzhou is indeed a problem. All three parties are sharp and invincible. However, the Central Plains is not much better. Maybe it will take ten years, eight years, three to five years here, but things in the Central Plains do not need time."

Are you going to do that?! Yuan Shao is powerful and Cao Cao is very strategic, but they are not good friends. I dare to ask Lu Bu and his daughter, how can they balance the three forces and benefit their survival, instead of letting Yuan and Cao destroy Lu together?

!If Yuan Shao changes his mind, I'm afraid the Lu family will be destroyed without moving east of the Yangtze River..."

When he said this, Xu Shu was very happy.

This Zhuge, it's better not to say anything. Once he speaks, he will make people angry and hit the vital point.

"It's hard for Kong Ming to assist a landless lord. It's hard to survive and develop in the cracks. With Kong Ming's talent, why bother?" Xu Shu changed his approach.

Can Zhuge be a good person?!

Of course he would fight back and said with a laugh: "Yuan Zhi is also a wizard, isn't he also helping Xuzhou survive in the cracks?! Although Xuzhou can be strong, it was destroyed before it could get strong. And Xuande Gong is virtuous.

, Heaven cannot harm it, and humans cannot harm it.”

Xu Shu was so angry that he narrowed his eyes.

This small boat of friendship capsized just in the Huai River area.

In the past, when we were discussing chess and major world affairs, we couldn't settle on one person's issues. When we had different opinions, I never got so angry. Most of the time, no one could convince anyone, but they all laughed it off.<

/p>

But now, Xu Shu is very angry, just very angry. Maybe it's because he has beliefs that need to be maintained in his heart, so he is easily angered and wants to get angry, but it's different.

"When the word virtuous is used on Liu Xuande, it would be too much. How can one be so virtuous? If one dares to compare one's virtues with those of heaven, even if the great sage came to this world, he would not dare to use this word to describe himself." Xu Shu said, "Kong Ming Mo

I want to cause trouble for Liu Xuande."

"A virtuous person is one who is respected by the world, not Liu Xuande himself," Zhuge said with a smile, "Everyone is talking about it, how can this happen? On the contrary, Yuan Zhi is really worried about Xuzhou. We must guard against Cao Yuan."

The alliance went south to destroy Lu Bu in one fell swoop, and they had to try their best to consume the strength of both parties and achieve a delicate balance. This is extremely difficult and really hard work. However, this balance cannot last long. I am afraid that Xuzhou will help Cao Cao, or Cao Cao will become stronger in the future.

Helping Yuan will make Yuan stronger. He is already strong. If he devours Cao Cao in one day, he will also destroy Lu. How difficult is it? I don’t know whether Yuan Zhi wants to help Cao or Yuan?! Both sides are strong, and it will be disadvantageous to help anyone.

.If no one helps, it will be even harder..."

Xu Shu's face turned stiff.

Zhuge couldn't stop talking and said: "If neither of them helps, or both sides help both sides, if the two sides are in an uncertain stalemate and last for several years, once they are tired, they will definitely find another way to ridicule. At that time, if they suddenly unite,

What should we do if we attack Xuzhou together? As ministers of the emperor, Yuan Zhi should be careful about the alliance between Cao and Lu. Once it is formed, even ten Xuzhous will be hard to resist. This Xuzhou is not easy to defend. How can it stop a million people?
