Wolong and Fengchu were famous figures in the Jingzhou local family when they were in Jingchu. Both of them regarded dragons and phoenixes as their names, but their talents were also of dragons and phoenixes, and were highly valued by famous scholars Sima Hui and Pang Degong of Jingchu.

However, although Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are as famous as the ones and their talents are almost comparable, their personality traits are relatively obvious.

First of all, let’s talk about Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang’s personality traits are stability and caution!

As long as it is not forced, Zhuge Liang usually never takes risks! As long as he is 100% sure to achieve something he can accomplish, Zhuge Liang will never wait 80% to do it. From the perspective of modern psychology, this is a typical symptom of spiritual perfectionism and severe obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Moreover, when Zhuge Liang was doing things, he was used to thinking about everything and thinking carefully! Every time he was doing things, Zhuge Liang had a habit of practicing the upcoming combat drills several times in his mind, and he felt that it was true and he was implemented.

It was like Zhuge Liang's advice to Liu Bei this time, asking him not to take advantage of the Liaodong Rebellion to let Guan Yu send troops, and threatened that "the only one in the world, Zhuge Liang, can see the flaws."

In fact, this is not Zhuge Liang's pretending to be a slut. On the contrary, Zhuge Liang is quite modest. He deeply understands the principle of not showing off when he is a person. He is struck by lightning.

Since that's the case, why did he still say such awesome words to Liu Bei? The reason is very simple, because in fact, he is the only one in the world who thinks that the Liaodong Rebellion is inappropriate!

The inappropriateness of the Liaodong Rebellion was not because Zhuge Liang had a better vision than others, but because he was born with too high alertness and he would never wait until he had only 80% of the time to do something he was sure of!

In fact, Zhuge Liang did not see the real purpose and intentions of Yuan Shang and Sima Yi. It was just that in Zhuge Liang's eyes, the opportunity of the Liaodong Rebellion was not a chance to seize. That's all, and there was no too profound explanation for wisdom.

What seems to be too simple. In fact, it is that simple.

Let’s talk about Feng Chu Pang Tong in turn.

The two men of Wolong and Fengchu are almost incomparable, but in terms of personality, Pang Tong is almost the opposite of Zhuge Liang. He is more passionate than Zhuge Liang, dares to take risks and fight!

Not to mention waiting for a 100% chance, Pang Tong would usually dare to do it as long as he is 30% or 40% sure.

If Zhuge Liang is a cold pool of water, then Pang Tong is a stormy fire! A storm of fire dared to burn everything, even spontaneously burned and sacrificed the fire!

Water is cold. It symbolizes calmness; fire is hot, symbolizing adventure!

The dragon swims in the water, and the phoenix is ​​born in the fire!

It symbolizes the calm water dragon and the adventurous phoenix! No matter who gave the title of the Dragon and Phoenix Chu to Kong Ming and Pang Tong, it has to be admitted that these two Taoist names do summarize the character characteristics of the two of them in one sentence.

……………………

Looking at Pang Tong's somewhat hot eyes, Liu Bei's heart, which was just thrown into a basin of cold water by Zhuge Liang, became a little lively in an instant.

"This, the deputy military advisor thinks we should send troops?" Liu Bei hesitated and asked Pang Tong.

Pang De was a little angry when he saw Liu Bei's appearance. He really wanted to yell with a big ear, then grabbed his neck and lit his nose and cursed: "Can you stop being so fleshy! Look at your hard-working bear look! Why did I recognize you as your lord? If you don't send troops at this time, what time do you want to wait until Yuan Shang presented the city to you!"

Of course, these are just Pang Tong's intentions/lewdness. If he really dares to do this, I guess Liu Bei would have to split him into eight petals on the spot!

"My lord, if you stop, you will suffer the chaos! There is such a big chaos in Liaodong. How could Yuan Shang not go back to save it? Now the Central Plains have just left Cao Zhi's control, and there are many uneasiness factors, and they are not completely under Yuan Shang's control. Therefore, as soon as Yuan Shang leaves, General Guan of Jingzhou will immediately raise troops north and seize Xuchang. At that time, the Central Plains will be at your fingertips! Lord, the career of kings and domineering is right in front of you, He Qi will give up because of Kong Ming's words? If you miss such a good opportunity, you will be gone within ten years!"

Liu Bei was still hesitant when he heard this.

"Lord, how many decades can you have in your life? Do you really have to wait for Yuan Shang to conquer the Central Plains when he is as solid as a piece of iron before fighting with him? Lord, Yuan Shang is already young and belongs to your junior. In terms of age, can you afford to spend money with him?"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Shi Yuan, you understand what you said! But... it's just Kong Ming guessed that the Liaodong Rebellion was a trick of Yuan Shang and Sima Yi, aiming to target a certain force. Judging from the current situation, the forces he targeted were likely Yun Chang, who was in charge of Jingzhou. After all, in terms of borders, Jingzhou is not far from Xuchang. Now that Yuan Shang conquered the Central Plains, the Jingzhou army led by Yun Chang has become a thorn in his side, and it is thorn in his flesh. It's fine if Jingzhou has something to do, but Bei can't let Yun Chang take the risk..."

Pang Tong sighed and shook his head, "Are these all figured out based on Kong Ming's words? Does Kong Ming have any evidence?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "No, but... but Kong Ming has always made plans since he became an official. What he said must be thought twice..."

When Pang Tong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Zhuge Liang had the most important position in the lord's heart than himself. Even if it was just a guess, it was enough to keep Liu Bei unmoved.

After a long silence...

Feng Chu is Feng Chu after all, and although her personality is different from Kong Ming, she has many strategies but is not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

"Lord, if you insist on adopting Kong Ming's words and are afraid that Yuan Shang will plot against General Guan and dare not send troops to attack Xuchang easily, then a certain family will have another idea."

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Sir, please speak?"

Pang Tong touched the beard on his chin, his eyes shining brightly, and he said, "Even if as Kong Ming said, the Liaodong Rebellion was designed by Yuan Shang, Sima Yi and others, we still don't know who Yuan Shang is going to target... If you make the worst plan! Yuan Shang's plan is really aimed at General Guan of Jingzhou, we still have a way to defeat him!"

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "What's the clever plan for Shi Yuan?"

Pang Tong thought, and said slowly: "It's very simple. If Yuan Shang targeted General Guan, then he would definitely leave Xuchang in the next step and pretend to return to Hebei to rescue Liaodong to confuse General Guan. The lord might as well let General Guan confuse Yuan Shang, pretend to fall into his plan, and lead his troops north to take Fancheng and attack Xuchang. When Yuan Shang saw that General Guan was indeed trapped, he would inevitably suddenly turn back halfway to return to the army and lead him to Hebei.

The main force of the central army returned to Xuchang and fought with General Guan! General Guan was just pretending to do it, not taking Xuchang, but just pretending to send troops. At that time, as long as the time is right, General Guan can return to Xiangyang immediately before Yuan Shang's army arrives. With the huge supplies of Jingzhou, the city is high and the people are mostly defending with the Han River Navy as a basis. I wish Yuan Shang's powerful soldiers in the north were no longer powerful, and Jingzhou would not be able to do anything for a while!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and thought for a while, and said strangely: "But the problem is that we asked Chang Yun to cooperate with Yuan Shang to go back and forth. Xuchang is still Yuan Shang's, and Jingzhou is still ours. Isn't this the same as not fighting?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "The junction between Jingzhou and the Central Plains has not changed, but letting General Guan accompany Yuan Shang to play can concentrate all the attention of everyone in the world on Xuchang! And the lord..."

Speaking of this, a few rays of light suddenly burst out from Pang Tong's eyes.

"And at this time, the lord will gather our elite troops in Sichuan, carry troops north and seize Hanzhong!"

Liu Bei woke up when he heard this. His eyes rolled for a while, then clapped his hands suddenly and said, "Snatch Hanzhong! Yes! As Yuan Shang and the people in the world focus on Yun Chang, we attacked with all our strength and took down the important land of Hanzhong in one fell swoop. The military advisor's plan to attack the east and west is indeed wonderful!"

Pang Tong sighed secretly. In fact, compared with Xuchang and the Central Plains, what is a mere Hanzhong?

However, judging by this situation, Liu Bei had been given a ** soup by Zhuge Liang. It is probably impossible for him to order Guan Yu to seize Xuchang. Since that's the case, let's settle for the second best and take this opportunity to take Hanzhong.

This is pretty good.

After all, Hanzhong is the gateway to Xichuan, and Yuan Shang's troops are pinning here, which is equivalent to pinching the meridians of Xishu. They have the final say in attacking and defending, which is very dangerous for our side...

Liu Bei paced back and forth while walking, rubbing his palms while walking, his eyes becoming more and more warlike.

"Hanzhong, Hanzhong! Yuan Shang used the Liaodong chaos to set up a net to deal with us to capture Jingzhou, so we would play with him, and beat the east and west to take down Hanzhong land in one fell swoop! The plan of Shiyuan is wonderful!"

Liu Bei and others felt that if the Liaodong Rebellion was really Yuan Shang’s plan, the person he was going to target must be Guan Yu, who poses the greatest threat to Xuchang!

However, in fact, the person Yuan Shang really wanted to deal with was actually Emperor Liu Xie, so Liu Bei and others were purely self-involved at this moment.

In Yuan Shang's words, it is "Eye drops in your belly button, you are mentally ill!"

However, in terms of actual strategy, Pang Tong still has a very good grasp of the opportunity to attack Hanzhong!

After making up his mind to attack Hanzhong, Liu Bei suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and said, "Shi Yuan, when he attacked Hanzhong, even if Yuan Shang's attention was attracted by Yun Chang, Hanzhong's guard Pang De was the number one general under Ma Teng's former command. He had great skills and was also famous general Xiahou Yuan to help him, so I was afraid that it would not be easy to defeat him."

Pang Tong smiled slightly and said, "Pang De, the governor of Hanzhong, is a powerful general in Liangzhou. Some family admits this, but there is no wise scholars in Hanzhong. With Kong Ming, Xiaozhi, and others, can it be impossible for a mere Pang De?"

Liu Bei thought about it carefully, so was it.

"What about Xiahou Yuan? He is a powerful general under Cao Cao's past!"

Pang Tong laughed: "It's just a defeated general, it's not worth mentioning! When the lord attacked Hanzhong, he just asked Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong to be the vanguards. I wish Pang De and Xiahou Yuan were afraid."

***************************

The Liaodong incident was to target Liu Xie. I didn’t want the emperor to be anxious and the eunuch was anxious. Liu Xie did not make any noise, but Liu Bei was ready in full swing.

At this moment, Liu Xie and his side couldn't help but jumped more than three feet high after learning that Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei had captured Liaodong.

But what is strange is that after Liaodong was captured, Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei were silent, which made Liu Xie very surprised.

At this moment, what Liu Xie hopes most is that the army of Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei takes advantage of the ease to attack the hinterland of Hebei and attract Yuan Shang to return to Hebei, so that he can quickly send troops to the Central Plains of Guandong and seize the territory left by the Cao family.

He sent people to urge Li Ru and others to advance to the Central Plains quickly, but what he came back was Li Ru's simple reply.

"Please keep your promise."

With one sentence, Liu Xie was stunned.

He hurriedly summoned all his beloved ministers to discuss the meaning of the letter.

Xu Shu took Li Ru's letter, looked down, sighed, and said, "This is what Li Ru asked His Majesty for what they wanted."

Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this and said, "Things? What?"

Xu Shu sighed and said, "Your Majesty forgot that Li Ru wants His Majesty's letter of pardon! Tuoba Liwei wants to establish a country!"

"This..." Liu Xie hesitated a little.

Beside Liu Xie, Fu Wan whispered: "Your Majesty, you must be in trouble and you will suffer the chaos. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Why should Your Majesty be stingy with a little bit of fame? It is important to let Li Ru and Tuoba Liwei advance quickly now."

Fu Wan beside him, Xu Shu narrowed his eyes after hearing this and said coldly: "You must not do these two things!"

Liu Xie turned his head in surprise and looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu took a deep breath and bowed his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Li Ru first followed Dong Zhuo and then served Song Jian, poisoning King Hongnong Huai. His crime was very serious and he could not be forgiven! If Your Majesty was to forgive his crimes because of his own selfish desires, how disappointed the scholars in the world would be? How can the people's expectations for Your Majesty?"

Liu Xie was silent when he heard this.

Xu Shu ignored it and continued, "As for the title of King of Tuoba Liwei who established the country, Your Majesty, he is a foreign race, a Xianbei person! A Han man as a king would still make the world angry, and a foreign race Shanyu as a king, Your Majesty! How do you pay tribute to your ancestors and how do you face the people of the world!"

Fu Wan shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhi, your words are a bit too pedantic. I remember that in order to destroy Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, made Han Xinyingbu and other traitors as kings, and then he became the hegemony one after another. Now it is a human relationship. Even if it is a temporary measure, I will pardon Li Ru and make Tuoba Liwei the king. After the achievements of the future, it will not be too late to take them off!"

Xu Shu sneered when he heard this and said, "Xiang Yu was brave but not wise at that time, and lost the hearts of the world. Han Xin and others were all talented in saving the world. Emperor Gaozu was even more amazing and charming, so he was able to restrain and relax! But at present, Yuan Shangzhi was greater than Xiang Yu, Tuoba Liwei was weaker than Han Xin Yingbu, and His Majesty was even less powerful than Emperor Gaozu. How could he..."

As soon as he said this, Liu Xie broke a teacup and stared at Xu Shu with cold eyes.
