"Being living under the fence, I don't have the energy to look at the outside world.
But I have heard a few things, which are only known to the world.
I hope you can teach me the details."
Although Liu Bei had a plan in mind, he still wanted to learn more from Zhuge Liang.
News, hoping to have a sense of surprise.
"General, you don't have to deliberately spy on secrets, but you can know the general trend of the world from the rumors from the outside world." , foreign envoys from the Western Regions gathered one after another, and after a martial arts performance, the barbarian countries were all shocked.
However, Ma Chao used this to declare that he was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
How did the general feel about what he did?"
"In this way, everyone in the world has misjudged the Ma family.
In these troubled times, they want to use the power of the family to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty."
When Liu Bei said these words, his face was almost red.
However, fortunately, Zhuge Liang had already seen the hypocritical nature of Liu Bei, and did not expose it.
Instead, he shook his head calmly and said: "What the general said is the appearance that Ma Chao wants the world to see.
With such a general's appearance, can he really be affected by this?"
After being deceived by the illusion and the flames of Emperor Liang's mausoleum, Ma Chao immediately acted like a saint, and the general didn't realize that all this was too strange."
"Sir, this is a joke.
A dull person is not as discerning as you."
Liu Bei still didn't see the rabbit and just waited for Zhuge Liang to analyze it piece by piece.
Zhuge Liang didn't take it for granted.
He chuckled and continued: "I said that if things in this world are too beneficial to one family, it cannot be just a coincidence.
Even if it is really just a coincidence, that family is always ready for opportunities to come.
Ma Chao It was obvious that he had seized this opportunity, and he announced to the world with great fanfare that he had no chance.
It is intended to replace the Han Dynasty, but can the world so easily understand that the art of war has clouds, and the reality is imaginary, and the imaginary is real.
Ma Chaoyue is so humble, which shows that his power is becoming more and more stable, while the Cao family seems to be arrogant, But he was pushed to the forefront by the Ma family and could no longer move. " "That is to say, although Ma Chao has never used a single soldier, he has firmly strangled the Cao family's lifeline, so that they dare not move at all until the storm is over."
"Wait a minute."
The more Liu Bei listened, the more frightened he became.
He gradually became a little unable to keep up with his train of thought.
He waved his hands awkwardly and asked with a confused and frightened look on his face: "Sir, if that's the case, I'm afraid there's going to be someone in the Ma family."
What a big move?”
A cold smile appeared on Zhuge Liang's face: "General, you and I are both sensible people, so there is no need to say such vain lies.
With today's events, the teeth of all the princes in the world are trying to bite.
Doesn't the general know in his heart?
Moreover, if the general wants to make a fortune in such a competitive place, don’t really think that all this can be hidden from Ma Mengqi’s eyes.”
Liu Bei was horrified at this moment.
He looked at Zhuge Liang with a blank expression with burning eyes.
After a stick of incense had passed, Liu Bei saw that the young man in front of him still looked calm and wise, and he couldn't help but began to ignore the young man's age.
Instead, he felt that he was seeing an indifferent, independent and unfathomable person.
The mountain of wisdom stood before his eyes, and he couldn't help but worship him.
And Liu Bei did bow deeply and said sincerely: "The Han Dynasty has fallen, traitors have stolen lives, and the Lord is covered in dust.
I don't measure my virtue and measure my strength, but I want to believe in righteousness in the world; but I am short in intelligence, so I use rampant "Come on, as of today.
However, the ambition is still not over.
You said that the plan will be settled."
After saying this, I couldn't bear to bow.
Although Liu Bei has a small army and weak strength, in terms of reputation, he can still be regarded as a figure: the post of Yuzhou Mu, the Emperor's Uncle of the Han Dynasty, the General of the Zuo, and the Tinghou of Yicheng.
Together, these four titles, although the real say is in Jingzhou.

It is not as good as Cai Mao who has an army of 70,000, but purely in terms of reputation and status, it is completely comparable to Liu Zhang of Yizhou Mu and Liu Biao of Jingzhou Mu.
From this, Zhuge Liang quickly put down his goose feather fan, took a step back, and completely prostrated himself on the ground: "If my lord does not give up, I am willing to let him drive me, devote myself to the end, and die."
Liu Bei was overjoyed and hurriedly supported Zhuge Liang to win over him.
He immediately recognized Zhuge Liang as a military advisor and general, ranking him above Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
After the two exchanged courteous remarks, Liu Bei stopped being polite and sat down and spoke again: "The current situation is such that we are short of major generals and have only one county.
However, with the powerful marquis from the outside world surrounding us, the pattern has been established.
In order to promote great righteousness in the world and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty's fire and virtue, I lamented all night long that I had no strategy and I didn't know if the military advisors could come up with a clever strategy to calm the world."
"My lord, now you have occupied the land of a county, dozens of good generals, and people who can coordinate the economy.
You have not yet had a great cause, it is just a lack of a good opportunity.
It is a hundred times better than the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty is now a Without soldiers and generals, and without territory, all the emperor can rely on is his inherent reputation.
I have been working hard to overestimate the importance of reputation, and I am now like this.
My lord, if you have a plan, you must not use your reputation as a bargaining chip.
Using these things as a cover will get twice the result with half the effort, but once it is in vain.
There is nothing Liang can do to attack the cruel reality with the egg of reputation."
"Bei, I understand."
Liu Bei nodded sadly, but the brilliance in his eyes not only did not diminish at all, but was even stronger than before.
With these words, the two of them truly revealed their true feelings.
After a knowing smile at each other, Zhuge Liang picked up the goose feather fan again, shook it gently a few times, and then said: "My lord is obviously relying on the Ma family's military power, and Jingzhou Liu Biao has to say that he also takes a fancy to this.
But if my lord wants to draw chestnuts from the fire, , there are two things we must do.”
Liu Bei respectfully asked: "What are the two things?"
"First, by bringing Mu Yang, who is in the shadow of the Ma family, under his command, all the secrets of the Ma family have become facts.
It is useless for us to know.
Only this shadow matter involves the general plans of the Ma family, so we must not ignore it.
So.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you avoid being destroyed by the Ma family.
He controlled his whole body and acted like a puppet."
After saying this, Zhuge Liang did not wait for Liu Bei's consent, and then added: "Such things must be done cautiously.
My lord has a great reputation and is full of benevolence and righteousness.
This may be true. for use.”
This was the second time Zhuge Liang mentioned Mu Yang, and Liu Bei didn't have much feeling at first.
But after listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, it was like seeing a bright light in the dark night.
Sure enough, he nodded immediately and said: "I already know about this, but the shadows of the Ma family are all people closely controlled by Ma Chao.
How can a letter recruit Mu Yang over?
Even if he is willing to come, how can his loyalty be guaranteed?"
"My lord also knows that my master is in Chang'an and has heard about the Ma family's affairs.
This Mu Yang was just dismissed from his military post by Ma Chao a few days ago and sent home.
Moreover, this person is also a member of Xuchang who had been in Xuchang earlier.
The secret about him is completely related to whether we can succeed in Jingzhou Borrowing external forces for a big plan."
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang felt a little verbose and immediately returned to the topic: "I don't know how this person committed the crime, but if the lord wants to invite him, it is very likely that he will come and go in person.
To win over this person, my lord is better than Liang."
At the end of this sentence, Zhuge Liang flattered Liu Bei in a moderate way, and he liked it very well.
Liu Bei couldn't help but accept it calmly, and praised him in return: "The military advisor is the most powerful person.
His words made Bei clear as if the clouds were clearing, and he finally felt that he had some resistance to the Ma family."
At this point, Liu Bei really shouted deeply.

He took a breath, as if he had let go of a huge stone in his heart.
Then he asked: "I don't know what the second thing is."
"The second thing is that my lord, who already has certain connections and people in Jingzhou, does something that can extremely stir up chaos in Jingzhou.
This will muddy up the stagnant water in Jingzhou, causing the mud and rocks to move, and bring about chaos.
The forces behind them are making waves, so that these forces can use Jingzhou as a battleground, and the lord can use their strength to gain the brilliance of the bright moon."
Zhuge Liang's words were extremely cryptic, but Liu Bei's intention to seize Jingzhou was clearly revealed.
When Liu Bei heard the words, he knew what he meant.
He opened his mouth slightly and was about to say some polite words of rejection, but when he looked up, he saw Zhuge Liang's bright and piercing eyes.
He was illuminated by those twinkling eyes, and he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart: Could it be that the heroes of his generation are not as sharp and clear-minded as a young man at this moment?
From this, Liu Bei did not hesitate to ask in a monotonous and heavy tone: "I don't know what the military advisor is referring to."
"The battle for succession" Zhuge Liang spoke decisively, but Liu Bei shook his hand slightly and broke the teacup on the table:
