The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 214 There is not much left for Liu Bei

The big families have done their calculations, and it is indeed much better to do business with the governor than to buy land and recruit tenants to farm. Besides, the governor did not ask them to cancel the land rent at once, and they would not lose much if they lowered it. Compared with the money earned from the book, it is a drop in the bucket!
So, everyone in Jingzhou had a happy New Year together. On Zhengdan, every family happily had a reunion dinner.

Of course, there are also people who are not happy. For example, the Han family and those families that are prohibited from participating in printing and selling books, not only did not catch up with this great thing, but there are many restrictions on doing other businesses. Difficult.

Sometimes, standing in the team is more important than one's own talent and ability. Since ancient times, how many talented people have not gained importance because they did not stand well in the team, and were even suppressed, and they could only die in depression in the end.

Therefore, all the major families in Jingzhou now understand a truth, that is, it is definitely beneficial to follow the governor, and as long as you follow the instructions of the governor, you will definitely not suffer.If the governor doesn't want to take you to play, then you are just waiting for bad luck!
Zhang Wu held a family banquet in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. Both Chen Sun and Gan Ning brought their wives to accompany Zhang Wu to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Wu's brother-in-law Ma Di stayed in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Like Zhang Wu, Chen Sun had no relatives in the world, while Gan Ning was originally from Yizhou, from a small family in Berkshire, and had some relatives there.Since Gan Ning developed, many relatives from Berkshire have come to join him.

In the Xiangyang prefect's mansion, Liu Bei was also having a New Year's Eve dinner with his close ones.On the side of the generals are Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others, the military adviser Zhuge Liang, and the civil servants are Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and so on.

Everyone is also very happy to have a meal together all year round. Although they have nothing to do now and can meet every day, it is rare for so many people to gather together.

Seeing Zhang Fei and Guan Yu happily drinking and talking about the Jiangxia battle, 5000 people defeated Cao Ren and 3 people, Cao Ren was captured, and Li Dian fled.Zhao Yun was also a little excited, while Guan Yu regretted that he could not participate.These people fought against Cao Cao all their lives, but they rarely defeated Cao Jun so happily.

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, Dudu Zhang really knows how to buy people's hearts, if such a large amount of money is spent, everyone in Jingzhou must be dead set on Zhang Wu.

Buying people's hearts, is there anything more direct and effective than throwing money directly?
Uncle Liu Huang is known for benevolence and righteousness, but compared with the more direct and realistic money, how many people in the world would choose benevolence, righteousness and morality now?

I can't go on like this, and if I stay in Xiangyang for another two years, I really can't leave.After the new year, Liu Bei's son A Dou will be almost two years old, not too young.

Therefore, after the banquet was over, everyone went back to the mansion, and when only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were left in the prefect's mansion, Zhuge Liang took the opportunity to put forward his own thoughts: "My lord, we have stayed in Jingzhou for a long time. When the spring is warm, shouldn't we left?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were a little stunned. Yes, they have been in Jingzhou for almost four years before they knew it. Time flies, but they have lived these past few years. It was quite comfortable, not only did not run around, but also followed Zhang Wu and beat Cao Cao several times.

But after all, although they nominally took refuge in Jingzhou, they were actually relatively independent. They only lived here temporarily. At the beginning, they planned to find another place to settle down after they calmed down.

Now I'm recovering, but if I leave Jingzhou, where can I go?

Zhang Fei was impatient, so he first asked, "May I ask the military adviser, where will we go if we leave Jingzhou?"

In fact, Zhuge Liang had thought about this problem long ago. It is absolutely impossible for Jingzhou to have a chance to occupy it. Now the whole Jingzhou, from the aristocratic family to the common people, from the civil servants to the military commanders, is all of one mind with Zhang Wu.

His wife's Huang family had already defected to Zhang Wu, and Huang She, the head of the Huang family, was also the first person to defect to Zhang Wu.His two brothers-in-law, the Pang family, had already defected to Zhang Wu, Pang Tong was Zhang Wu's military advisor, and now even the Kuai family had defected to Zhang Wu.Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang's relationship with Zhang Wu is already very close by virtue of his marriage.

If you leave Jingzhou, you can't go to the north first, because that is Cao Cao's territory. Cao Cao can't wait to kill Liu Bei. Can save Liu Bei's life.

It is impossible to go further north to Xiliang and Youzhou. Although Liu Bei and Xiliang Ma Teng are the only two people left in the "Yi Dai Zhao" incident, Ma Teng will never give up the territory to Liu Bei because of this. Bar?Besides, there is Han Sui in Xiliang, and Ma Teng can't be willing if he wants Han Sui.

The land in Youzhou belonged to the Gongsun family, even Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had their heads cut off when they went there, so they probably didn't welcome Liu Bei to go.

Then there is Jiangdong. Although Zhuge Liang's brother is now an official in Jiangdong, it is impossible for him to persuade Sun Quan to give Liu Bei a piece of land to stand on his own, let alone persuade Sun Quan to give Jiangdong to Liu Bei.

You can’t go to that place in Hanzhong either, because there are religious people there, they are very fanatical, and it’s not enough to bring thousands of people there.

After all the calculations, there are only two places left with opportunities, one is Jiaozhou and the other is Yizhou.

The current ruler of Jiaozhou is Shi Xie, but Shi Xie is not capable enough to control the entire Jiaozhou. In Cangwu County, there is Wu Ju, who Liu Biao sent in the past, as the prefect. He intends to check and balance Shi Xie, but Sun Quan is also eyeing Jiaozhou.

Wu Ju and Liu Bei are good friends, but this person is even less capable than Shi Xie.Therefore, Zhuge Liang felt that if Liu Bei took people to Jiaozhou on the grounds of defecting to Wu Ju, he would have the opportunity to first seize Cangwu County as a place of refuge, then develop his strength, and then design to seize Jiaozhou.

But Jiaozhou is too remote. Even if they can spend a few years occupying Jiaozhou, they will basically have no contact with the Central Plains. At most, they will be in a corner. If they want to develop, they will inevitably face Jingzhou and Jiangdong.

However, with Jiaozhou's geographical conditions and human resources, it is too difficult to defeat Jingzhou or Jiangdong.You can only wait for the opportunity in Jiaozhou. If you can't wait for the opportunity, you can only wait for the unification of the Central Plains and clean up Jiaozhou.

If you don't want to be a theatergoer, if you still want to compete with the princes of the world, then Liu Bei and his group can only go to Yizhou, find a way to seize Liu Zhang's foundation, and rely on Yizhou's geographical advantage to develop strength and attack eastward Hanzhong takes Yongzhou as a map, and can wait for the opportunity to annex Jingzhou to the south.

In this way, it is possible to defeat Cao Cao and restore the Han Dynasty.

In the current situation, this is the only way for Liu Bei and his group.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang resolutely said: "My lord, now we can only go to Yizhou. The land of abundance in Yizhou is dangerous, and Gaozu relied on this place to achieve his imperial career. However, Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, is a bit weak and cowardly. Zhang Lu's invasion cannot be restrained from outside, and it is suitable for the lord to take it as a safe place."
