Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Liuzhou Mu has been through war and has extraordinary strategies. Jia Xu and Sima Yi are also the military advisor. Do you still need to ask people from mountain villages like Kong Ming for such a small matter?"

"Sir, you are polite. I, Liu Jing, know the best of my talent. I hope you will give me advice." After saying that, Liu Jing bowed deeply to him.

Zhuge Liang had no choice but to pick up the wooden pole and point to the sand table: "The plan I made for the emperor was to concentrate troops to conquer Ba land, use the conflicts between Yan Yan and Pang Xi to defeat each one, and seize the troops of Badong, Ba County and Brazil County. In this way, the emperor's troops could reach 50,000. With 50,000 troops, he could go north along the Minjiang River and take straight to Chengdu. The battle of Yizhou can be ended in as many months. However, the Jingzhou army is strong, especially the navy is sharp, so there is no need to use my strategy, and you can directly divide the two troops."

Zhuge Liang pointed the wooden pole at the Yangtze River again, "The army can leave Jiangling by boat and advance west along the Yangtze River. After ten days, they can reach Yufu. Yufucheng is the main logistics site. Once they go north, they will seize Chengdu from Guanghan County, and the other is still water. From the Yangtze River to the Minjiang River, the water network in the hinterland of Bashu is crisscrossing and ship transport is very suitable for naval forces. This is the advantage of the Jingzhou army. We must make full use of it. In this way, the two attacks on Chengdu will be at most two months, and the Bashu war will end."

Although Liu Jing was half-joking to Zhuge Liang for advice, Zhuge Liang proposed to march from water to Bashu, which was indeed a plan that Liu Jing did not expect. This suggestion made him suddenly enlightened. If he marched from water, the problem of food transportation that troubled him could be solved.

At this time, Zhuge Liang smiled again and said, "In fact, with the strength of Jingzhou, it is not difficult to seize Bashu. What is difficult is to sit firmly in Bashu. To sit firmly in Bashu, you must solve the problem of Dongzhou scholars. In fact, the provincial governor has the land of Jingzhou, so it is easy to solve. You can promote the return home movement and exchange Jingzhou land for Dongzhou scholars' land, and then exempt taxes. This problem will be solved halfway. In the future, the provincial governor takes Guanzhong Assistant and fills the other half of Dongzhou Assistant. This can not only solve the shortage of auxiliary population, but also remove the root of Bashu instability. It can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone."

Zhuge Liang's plan coincided with Sima Yi's plan, and Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Sir, thank you very much, thank you."

Zhuge Liang smiled again, "After talking about Bashu, can we talk about Jingnan?"

"Sir, please sit down"

Liu Jing asked Zhuge Liang to sit down and ordered the soldiers to serve tea. At this time, Zhuge Liang took out a letter and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is my lord's handwritten letter to the provincial governor. Please check it out."

Liu Jing took the letter and opened it and read it. In the letter, Liu Bei promised to withdraw from Jingnan and was willing to send Liu Qi as a gift and exchange it for Guan Yu's father. In addition, he hoped to give him another half a year to prepare. Liu Jing pondered for a moment: "Does Uncle Liu plan to enter Jiaozhou next summer? Summer is hot, and the place in Jiaozhou is prone to miasma. It would be unwise to go south at that time."

"We are planning to go south next spring and conquer Yulin County first. It will take some time to prepare, so the emperor proposed a half-year deadline, which is only the latest deadline, and it may not take half a year."

Liu Jing nodded, "I hope Uncle Liu will not take away the people of Jingnan when he goes south this time."

"Please rest assured by the state's governor. When we immigrated to Wuling, many people died. We have learned a lesson and will never lead the people south again. That will become our marching burden."

After saying that, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Jing very much. He hoped that Liu Jing could agree to the conditions they proposed. It was very important for them to exchange for Guan Yu's father. Not only did he take into account Liu Bei's friendship, but more importantly, their generals were seriously insufficient, and only Zhang Fei and Chen Dao were left, and Guan Yu's father was urgently needed to fight.

Liu Jing thought for a while and said with a smile: "In theory, I should believe the promise of the emperor and accept the sincerity of sending Qi Gong back first, but I still have a small request, hoping that the emperor Liu can do it for me."

"Please speak with the state governor"

Liu Jing said slowly: "It's about my fake identity, which makes me very upset. I hope that Uncle Liu can officially admit to me that it is inconsistent with the facts and to clarify my reputation, especially my family. I hope that Uncle Huang can do this. Otherwise, even if I agree with his conditions, my subordinates will not agree."

Zhuge Liang immediately nodded and agreed, "There is no problem with this. I ask the emperor to clarify immediately, apologize to the provincial governor, and ask the provincial governor to believe our sincerity."

"I certainly believe Mr. Zhuge's words. In addition, if the emperor's uncle takes over Jiaozhou, I will fully support the trade between the two states and fully support the emperor's uncle in running Jiaozhou. I think this will be beneficial to both of us."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing laughed meaningfully. Although Zhuge Liang knew Liu Jing’s true intention, he had to express his sincere gratitude. They really needed the support of Jingzhou to occupy and operate Jiaozhou.

Zhuge Liang did not stay in Jingzhou for long. He returned to Gong'an County overnight. The two sides agreed to release Guan Yu's father within one month, and before April next year, Liu Bei must take practical actions to send troops to Jiaozhou. In return for Liu Bei's voluntary concession of Jingnan, Liu Jing gave Liu Bei half a year.

At night, Liu Jing came to a small courtyard behind the county yard with his hands behind him. The courtyard was full of soldiers. As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Liu Qi's perverted roar: "Where is my wine? Get me wine quickly?"

Liu Jing frowned. The roar was very rude, like a drunkard crazy. Liu Jing walked into the yard and saw a few maids standing at the door holding a wine pot. No one dared to go in. He asked strangely: "What's going on?"

A maid went forward and bowed, and said in tears: "Report to the governor of the state, we went in to deliver wine just now. He was drinking and he was still doing things randomly, so we didn't dare to go in."

Liu Jing turned around and said to the guardsmen: "In the future, no maids are allowed to send wine, and let soldiers deliver wine to him. In addition, less wine should be given, and no longer indulge him."

"Abide by the order"

Liu Jing sighed in his heart and walked into the room. The room was filled with alcohol and the ground was full of broken pieces of wine pots. The small table was also overturned, and various dishes were sprinkled all over the floor. Liu Qi was sitting on the corner, holding a wine pot and pouring wine into his mouth.

When Liu Jing walked to Liu Qi, he couldn't believe his eyes. Liu Qi looked like a bamboo pole, but now he was thinner, like a skeleton, his eyes protruding out like a goldfish, his face was swollen, his whole face seemed as pale as a dead person, and his body was filled with a breath of death. This was a typical appearance of being empty by wine. It can be seen that he had not been long.

No wonder Liu Bei wants to send him back. If he died in Jingnan, Liu Bei would not be able to explain to his foreign countries. He even showed sincerity, and he deserved to be the black-hearted uncle.

At this time, Liu Qi roared hysterically again, "Why haven't my wine come yet? There are women, where is my woman?"

He didn't see Liu Jing right in front of him. Seeing that he was no longer conscious, Liu Jing sighed slightly in his heart, squatted in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Do you still know me?"

Liu Qi slowly raised his head and stared at Liu Jing with his eyes empty and no sign of spirit.

"Who are you?" Liu Qi suddenly asked viciously: "I seem to know you."

"I am Liu Jing, do you still remember?"

"Liu Jing Liu Jing"

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly widened, looking even more ferocious and terrifying, "It turned out to be you, you snatched the position of the governor of our province, you killed my father, you bastard, I want to kill you, I want to kill you."

Liu Qi yelled and screamed, but he couldn't stand up, and his voice became weaker and weaker. Finally, he lay on the ground, like a dream, "I want to kill you, kill you."

Liu Jing shook his head, and even a trace of sympathy for him disappeared. In such a way, he could blame him for being blind, but who else could he blame him? Liu Jing turned around and walked out of the house and ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Send someone to send him to Xiangyang immediately and block the news of his arrival at the same time."

............

It is already late December, and the New Year atmosphere in Jingzhou is getting stronger and stronger, especially this is the first New Year after the escaped people return to their hometown, which is more special.

The city of Xiangyang was full of lanterns, and every household was cleaning the yard and preparing for the sacrifice. Many children couldn't wait to put on their new clothes and ran and played in groups on the streets.

Today also has special significance for Liu Jing’s mansion. There is an extra wife at home. Tao Zhan specially instructed his family to prepare to celebrate this New Year.

According to the custom, Sun Shangxiang should go back to her parents' home for the first New Year after marriage, but this custom is obviously unrealistic to her. She could only write a long letter to her mother, ask the painter to draw a portrait of her new home and send someone to her mother, which is also a kind of comfort to her relatives.

Sun Shangxiang has gradually become accustomed to life in her new home. Although Tao Zhan took good care of her and arranged her life meticulously, Sun Shangxiang was still not happy. It is no wonder. After all, on the first day she followed her newlywed husband back to the new home, her husband led his army to fight. After leaving for more than a month, she felt very disappointed.

Sun Shangxiang sat in her study, looking at a short sword boredly. This was a sword brought back by Liu Jing and his personal soldiers. The hilt of the sword was engraved with the words cold electric power. It is said to be a famous sword collected by Yuan Shao.

Sun Shangxiang is good at appreciating famous swords. This is indeed a good sword that can be ranked among the famous swords she collects.

Although this should be something that made her happy, Sun Shangxiang was not happy. She took a moment to draw the sword and threw it aside.

He picked up a bag of small daggers, and the sharp daggers flew out like toys in her hand, and accurately nailed them to a wooden board just outside.

At this time, she suddenly threw all the daggers out in anger. Just then, her maid entered the room and almost stabbed the maid, frightening her face to the point of discoloration.

Sun Shangxiang stood up and asked repeatedly: "Is there any news that the army is back?"

The maid shook her head, "No news yet"

Sun Shangxiang was stunned for a moment, then sat down weakly. She held her cheek and sighed, and said to herself, "When will this bastard come back?"

With a sneer, her close maid next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Sun Shangxiang glared at her, "What are you laughing at?"

"This is the first time I have seen a girl miss someone so much in so many years."

"nonsense"

Sun Shangxiang's face suddenly turned red, "I don't miss him. I'm just bored and want him to take me out for a walk, but I don't miss you."

She suddenly realized that she had too much explanation, and she wanted to cover up the truth. She felt even more annoyed and slapped the maid and scolded her maid, "I dare to talk nonsense again, let's see how I teach you a lesson."

The close-fitting maid was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and lowered her head and smiled secretly.
