The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 50 Xiangyang Conference
There is another very important thing, if Liu Bei dies, who will Zhuge Liang go to?According to the progress in the original book, Zhuge Liang will go out to join Liu Bei soon. If Liu Bei dies, Zhuge Liang, a young man with both ability and lofty ideals, will definitely seek refuge with other bosses, because he must not be willing to be a commoner all his life. ?
At that time, regardless of Zhuge Liang's willingness or not, the only bosses worth relying on in the world will be Cao Cao and Sun Quan.No matter who Zhuge Liang defected to, it would not be a good thing for Zhang Wu, because Kong Ming is indeed capable, and it would be a bit troublesome to be an enemy with him.

Therefore, Zhang Wu wanted Liu Bei to live, on the one hand, to prevent his current subordinates from disbanding, and on the other hand, he wanted Zhuge Liang to be bound to Liu Bei.

In Zhang Wu's view, at this stage, people like Zhuge Liang would not take a liking to him, a warrior who was born as a thief, so Zhang Wu's way to deal with Zhuge Liang now is, since you will not defect to me, then I will make sure not to let you Go to the side of my enemies.

People like Zhuge Liang are obsessed with spiritual cleanliness. They insist on loyalty and stick to one end. Since they have chosen a master, they must assist them for the rest of their lives and never betray.Therefore, once Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei, it was determined that Liu Bei could no longer change jobs. Even if Liu Bei died, he had to continue to assist his son.

Therefore, as long as Liu Bei is controlled, Zhuge Liang is indirectly controlled.As long as you don't let Zhuge Liang become your enemy, it doesn't matter if he doesn't help you.If there is no Butcher Zhang, he will not eat hairy pigs. There are many people in this world whose strategies are no worse than Zhuge Liang.

It is very difficult to deal with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others alone, and there is basically no hope, but as long as Liu Bei is dealt with alone, it is equivalent to dealing with everyone. Materialist dialectics tells us that we must grasp the main contradiction!
As long as Liu Bei is trapped in Jingzhou, everyone in this small gang will be unable to leave. As Zhang Wu's strength gradually increases, the territory becomes larger and larger, and as time goes by, Zhuge Liang and others have no chance to make contributions. Can you be in a hurry?When Zhang Wu occupies Jingzhou and then Yizhou, maybe they will think that Zhang Wu also has the possibility of unifying the world, and maybe they will change their minds.

What are capable people most afraid of?The biggest fear is that there will be no chance or stage for him to perform.

After making up his mind, Zhang Wu began to make arrangements.He ordered Gan Ning to guard the water stronghold to guard against the Jiangdong water army; ordered Chen Sun to sit in Jiangxia and guard the city; ordered Wei Yan to lead five hundred elite soldiers to escort him and Liu Qi to Xiangyang for a meeting.

From Jiangxia to Xiangyang, you can travel by water, so Zhang Wu arrived in Xiangyang earlier than Liu Bei.After getting off the boat, Zhang Wu ordered Wei Yan to lead his soldiers to camp on the edge of Tanxi River in the west of Xiangyang City, and wait for him to meet up after the meeting.

After Zhang Wu made arrangements, he and Liu Qi entered Xiangyang City with a few guards. At this time, many officials came from various places one after another. Everyone greeted each other after meeting, and they were very friendly on the surface. The official contacted the feelings.

After entering the city, Zhang Wu went to rest in the hall, while Liu Qi went to the state pastoral mansion to greet Liu Biao, and Liu Biao ordered Liu Qi and Liu Cong to help Liu Bei entertain the officials.

When Liu Bei and Zhao Yun came to Xiangyang, Cai Mao came out of the city to greet them with a very humble attitude, as if what happened not long ago had nothing to do with him.

Later, Liu Qi and Liu Cong led a group of civil and military officials to welcome Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei saw that Liu Biao's two sons were there, he no longer had any doubts. It seemed that he really asked me to come to the meeting, and Liu Biao's big brother was not angry with me.

On the same day, Liu Xuande was also taking a break in the building, and Zhao Yun led [-] soldiers to surround and protect him.Zhao Yun was wearing armor and a sword, and never left Liu Bei's side.

Liu Qi said to Liu Bei: "Father suffered from a gas attack and was unable to move. I specially asked my uncle to entertain the officials on my behalf, and all the officials will appease and reward him."

Liu Bei said politely: "Originally I shouldn't do this job, but since my brother is ordered, I dare not refuse."

The next day, relevant personnel reported that officials from 42 prefectures in the nine counties of Jingzhou had arrived and that the conference could begin.

Cai Mao found Kuai Yue, told him his plan, and said: "Liu Bei is a famous hero in the world. If he stays in Jingzhou for a long time, he may cause trouble. Why don't we use today's opportunity to get rid of him."

Kuai Yue said: "Liu Bei is very famous, killing him may cause dissatisfaction among the common people and some aristocratic families!"

Kuai Yue is also a pro-Cao faction in his heart. At the beginning, Kuai Yue worked under the general He Jin and met Cao Cao when he was in Luoyang.In the original book, after Liu Biao's death, Cao Cao's troops came to Jingzhou, and Kuai Yue tried his best to persuade Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao.As a result, Liu Cong and his wife were killed by Cao Cao after they surrendered, but Kuai Yue was highly valued by Cao Cao.

Cai Mao said again: "I have obtained the consent of the State Shepherd, and here is the secret order of the State Shepherd."

Kuai Yue knew that Cai Mao was talking nonsense, how could Liu Biao kill Liu Bei? Although he was old, he was not old and confused.Kuai Yue didn't expose Cai Mao, anyway, Cai Mao would bear the consequences, and it happened that he didn't like Liu Bei either.

So Kuai Yue said: "In this case, you can prepare in advance."

Cai Mao said: "My brother Cai He has led the army to guard the east gate of Xianshan Road; Cai Zhong has been guarded outside the south gate; Cai Xun has been guarded outside the north gate. Only the west gate does not need to be guarded because it is blocked by Tanxi. Even if It’s not easy for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to pass through.”

Kuai Yue saw that Cai Mao's arrangements were so careful, it seemed that he had premeditated it, and he didn't know how Liu Bei had offended him.

"I see that Zhao Yun has been staying close to Liu Bei, so I'm afraid it's not easy to make a move."

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had already found out the details of several of Liu Bei's generals.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been familiar with Liu Bei since he became righteous in Taoyuan.Especially Guan Yu, warming wine and beating Huaxiong, Sanying fighting Lu Bu, beheading Yan Liang and beheading Wen Chou, passing five passes and beheading six generals, has long been a world-renowned super warrior.

Although Zhang Fei is not as famous as Guan Yu at this time, when the Eighteenth Routes were fighting against Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu killed several generals of the coalition army in a row, and no one dared to fight again. Win or lose.Later, Zhang Fei once again singled out Lu Bu in the battle for Xuzhou. They fought more than a hundred rounds without winning or losing.How many people are there in this world who can fight Lu Bu one-on-one?
Although Zhao Yun was not as famous as Guan Yu at this time, he had fought Yuan Shaojun under Gongsun Zan in his early years, and he could also inquire about it. Both Kuai Yue and Cai Mao also knew that Zhao Yun's courage was not weaker than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Cai Mao said: "I have ambushed five hundred soldiers in the city, and they are all ready."

Kuai Yue thought about it, and five hundred soldiers might not be able to deal with Zhao Yun, so he said: "We can ask Wen Pin and Wang Wei to set up another seat in the outer hall, which is specially used to entertain generals. First send Zhao Yun away, and then you can act."

Cai Mao followed Kuai Yue's advice.
