Because the first part of "Longzhong Pair" analyzes the current situation, what Zhuge Liang said is exactly the same as what Ma Su said, but this can still be explained by coincidence!

Finally, thanks to Liu Bei's experience, he quickly thought of the idiom "Heroes' similar views", and instantly changed from surprise to joyful expression, which made Zhuge Liang, who was extremely smart, confused!

Zhuge Liang just finished the entire content of "Longzhong Pair" and finally said to Liu Bei: "The reason why this Liang is the general is the only one who plans for him."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei's face was still changing, and without waiting for Liu Bei's answer, he directly asked the boy to take out a scroll of the scroll. He opened it himself and hung it in the middle hall.

After a period of adjustment, Liu Bei replied to normal, looked up and saw the map, and took the initiative to point at the scroll to Zhuge Liang for advice.

Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei: "This is the map of the 54 states of Xichuan. If the emperor wants to achieve hegemony, Cao Cao will occupy the heavens in the north and Sun Quan will occupy the land in the south. The general can occupy the harmony of the people. You can first take Jingzhou as the base, and then take Xichuan to establish the foundation. Cao Cao and Sun Quan will form a tripod, and then you can slow down the Central Plains."

Liu Bei was even happier when he heard this, because everyone knew about the previous situation analysis. Kong Ming and Ma Su were exactly the same, which could be a coincidence.

If the following method is still the same, it cannot be explained by coincidence!

In the end, the difference between Kong Ming and Ma Su was still very obvious. At least Ma Su did not prepare the map of Xichuan, nor did he have a specific plan.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's explanation, Liu Bei couldn't help but stand up happily, bowed his hand and said to Kong Ming:

"Mr.'s words suddenly opened up, making it clear that it was like a cloud and mist that saw the blue sky. But Liu Biao, Jingzhou and Liu Zhang, were all relatives of the Han Dynasty, who were willing to take away their foundation?"

Kong Ming said: "When Liu Biao looked at the sky at night, Liu Biao was born soon, Jingzhou would be the emperor's uncle; Liu Zhang was not the leader of his career: Xichuan would be the general in a long time."

Kong Ming attributed Liu Bei's ability to obtain the territory of Jingzhou and Xichuan to his destiny, which was very consistent with the traditional view of imperial power and heavenly grantings at that time. Liu Bei was very happy when he heard this and bowed his head to thank him.

Zhuge Liang said through a map that he and his argument that he had observed the celestial phenomena at night to see through the destiny of heaven, inadvertently showed that he was knowledgeable and proficient in astronomy and geography, and gained the upper hand in his invisible battle with Ma Su.

At that time, Ma Su plagiarized "Longzhong Pair", and Liu Bei also proposed that he did not want to seize the foundation of the Han clan relatives.

Ma Su believes that "You can seize Jingzhou from Cao Cao while the chaos." Although after such trouble and hard work, this is the only way!

Because if Liu Bei wants to occupy the "harmony of people", he must insist on conquering others with benevolence and righteousness, and must use any means.

Although Ma Su was good at using his heart, the effect was obviously not as good as Zhuge Liang's understatement!"

Zhuge Liang showed his extraordinary talent. Liu Bei was very satisfied and sincerely asked Zhuge Liang to come out to help.

Although Zhuge Liang was ready to come out, he was a little humble before agreeing.

Because Zhuge Liang had no better choice, Zhuge Jin had already become an official in Sun Quan and Zhuge Dan had already become an official in Cao Cao. He looked down on Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, so he had to choose Liu Bei!

As he wished, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain. He was overjoyed and ordered Zhang to enter and take out a gift of gold and hemp. Kong Ming refused to accept it.

Liu Bei said: "These property is far from enough to hire a great wise man, but it is used to settle the young man's family, which is a brief expression of Liu Bei's innocence." Kong Ming was the first to accept it.

It was getting late, and Liu Bei and others stayed in the village for a night.

The next day, Zhuge Jun returned, Zhuge Liang arranged the affairs in the village, and went to Xinye with Liu Bei and his party.

After arriving in Xinye, Liu Bei held a banquet and took out the last two jars of soju that Ma Su gave him, welcomed Zhuge Liang to join, and announced in public that Zhuge Liang was worshipped as military advisor.

Zhuge Liang did not accept the position of military advisor this time, and trained troops every day.

Liu Bei treated Kong Ming like a teacher, and when he was eating, he was at the same table and when he was sleeping, he discussed the affairs of the world all day long, just like when Guan and Zhang met.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were originally prejudiced against Zhuge Liang, so they became even more unhappy.

After Kong Ming took over the military advisor, he immediately showed his extraordinary talent and quickly became familiar with various affairs in Xinye.

The New Year was soon ushered in. After the Spring Festival, Zhuge Liang checked all the information about the exchanges and said to Liu Bei:

"Cao Cao built Xuanwu Pond in Jizhou to train the naval army, and he must have the intention of invading the south of the Yangtze River. He can secretly send people to cross the river to find out the truth and reality of Sun Quan."

When Liu Bei heard this, he remembered that Ma Su had made a prediction about Cao Cao's southern expedition, which Zhuge Liang expected was the same.

Ma Su stole Zhuge Liang's intention, and then the two of them had the same idea. Liu Bei involuntarily often compared the two.

This time Ma Su expected the time to be more accurate, and it was speculated that Cao Cao would invade Jingzhou in the autumn.

Although it was not time to predict and for some reason, Liu Bei believed it deeply that this time the invisible battle between Ma Su and Zhuge Liang was Ma Su who had the upper hand.

Time flies, and it is already the turn of spring and summer. It is not far from Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou. Liu Bei has to take measures and immediately send someone to Jiangdong to find out the news.

...

...

After leaving Xinye that day, Ma Su did not go back to Majiahe directly, but went to Xiangyang first and found his fourth brother Ma Liang.

Because the Ma family gave Ma Liang the decision on which force the family defected to, Ma Liang has been staying in Xiangyang for a long time because of his study.

This time when Ma Su arrived in Xinye, he also communicated with Ma Liang in advance. Even if he only agreed to join Liu Bei's army, he would discuss it with Ma Liang.

When they arrived at Ma Liang's residence, the two brothers had a long talk. Because they had a conversation with Liu Bei, Ma Su showed a high level of quality in this conversation. Ma Liang was surprised by his younger brother's progress.

Ma Liang is not an ordinary person. When Ma Su chose to join Liu Bei's army, he expressed his support when he thought about it. It seems that Liu Bei has always been the object of Ma Liang's observation.

But after all, Liu Bei is living under someone else's roof. Once Cao Cao attacks Jingzhou, Liu Bei will probably have no place to settle down. Therefore, he cannot bet on the future of his family for the time being.

Ma Liang was in Xiangyang for a long time, and although the information on all aspects was not timely, it was very detailed. He also agreed with Ma Su's judgment on Cao Cao's southern expedition.

Both are classmates at Lumen Academy. Because Ma Liang is slightly older than Ma Su and studies in Xiangyang all year round, his interactions with classmates are much closer than Ma Su.

Especially Zhuge Liang, the two can be said to be close to each other!

After hearing from Ma Su that Liu Bei was going to Longzhong to invite Zhuge Liang as his military advisor, Ma Liang was also very interested.

Because Ma Liang's previous understanding of Liu Bei was indirect, he also wanted to take this opportunity to meet Liu Bei in person.

Therefore, he took the initiative to find Zhuge Liang, closely monitor Liu Bei's whereabouts, and prepared to inspect Liu Bei with his friends...
