    Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted. Liu Biao heard a change in his face. After staring at Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang silently for a while, he suddenly looked a little lonely and said.

    "I am old and sick and unable to manage affairs. My dear brother can come and help me. After my death, my brother will be the lord of Jingzhou."

    I don¡¯t know if Liu Biao¡¯s words were a test or sincerity.  But Liu Bei was inevitably a little happy in his heart, but he still shouted loudly.

    "Brother, why did you say this! Bei did not hesitate to live or die, and he tried his best to help me. I only hope to help my brother keep the Han Dynasty's imperial territory! How dare you take on this important task!" At this time, Zhuge Liang secretly looked at Liu Bei frequently, indicating that this was what he had achieved.  Great opportunity for Jingzhou.  But Liu Bei looked at Liu Biao without any obstruction, and looked at Liu Biao with clear eyes.

    After a while, Liu Biao sighed meaningfully.

    "Even if my dear brother doesn't want to, I can't force him. Regarding the matter of borrowing troops, please allow me to think of a good plan."

    Liu Bei heard this and resigned with Zhuge Liang.

    Returning to Guanyi, Zhuge Liang looked a little regretful and asked suddenly.

    "It turns out that Liu Jingsheng wanted to entrust Jingzhou to the lord. The lord could have conquered Jingzhou without any bloodshed, so why did he fail?"

    When Liu Bei heard this, he stopped suddenly, his face kept changing, and he secretly said in his heart.

    "Zhuge Kongming is wiser than a monster. How could he not see that this is definitely not the time to reveal his intentions to plot Jingzhou? What's more, Liu Jingsheng's words today are mostly temptations and are not sincere at all. Could it be that Zhuge Kongming is also the same?  Are you testing me?"

    After Liu Bei finished thinking, his face condensed, he turned around and shouted with a bit of anger.

    "Jing Sheng treats me with kindness and courtesy, just like a brother. He is prepared to take advantage of the danger and seize it? Military advisor, don't say too much!"

    Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh when he heard the truth.

    "My lord, you are truly a merciful Lord! It was Liang who made a mistake."

    While Zhuge Liang was discussing with Liu Bei, a servant suddenly came to report that the young master Liu Qi came to see him.

    "Haha, it seems that God has a destiny, and Jingzhou will belong to the Lord sooner or later."

    Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other. Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, as if he had expected Liu Qi to come and signaled Liu Bei to meet him as soon as possible.

    "Kong Ming must not indulge, be careful what you say!"

    Liu Bei frowned, signaled Zhuge Liang with his eyes, and then went out to connect Liu Qi.  As soon as Liu Qi entered, he burst into tears and begged for help.

    "My stepmother is incompatible with her. Her life is at stake. I hope my uncle will take pity on her and save her."

    It turned out that Cai Mao had not been able to kill Liu Bei since the Xiangyang incident. Later, he heard that Liu Qi had many contacts with Liu Bei, so he became wary and informed Cai.  From then on, Mr. Cai became even more wary of Liu Qi, as if he wanted to secretly get rid of Liu Qi all the time. Liu Qi found that he was walking on thin ice all day long and had trouble sleeping and eating.  At this time, I heard that Liu Bei had arrived in Jingzhou and immediately came to ask for help.

    After Liu Bei heard this, he comforted Liu Qi for a while, but Liu Qi kept crying and knelt down.  Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked him for advice.  Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly.

    "This is Mr. Liu's family matter, and Liang doesn't dare to hear about it. Otherwise, if others find out, they will think that Liang is with the emperor's uncle, for fear that the world will not be in chaos. Mr. Liu, please go back first."

    Zhuge Liang's words were very ruthless, and Liu Qi asked for more in vain.  When he was young, Liu Bei sent Liu Qi away and whispered in his ear.

    "Don't be surprised, my nephew, Kong Ming is not a ruthless person. The reason why he refused is because he is afraid of implicating me. I will send Kong Ming back to pay homage to my nephew in the future, but if this is the case, he must have a clever plan to tell me."

    Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he thanked him and left.

    The next day, Liu Bei deliberately pretended to have abdominal pain and ordered Zhuge Liang to go back and pay homage to Liu Qi.  Zhuge Liang knew Liu Bei's intentions and did not expose them. He immediately agreed and rode to Liu Qi's house to see Liu Qi.  Liu Qi rushed to greet him, invited him into the back hall, and sat down with Zhuge Liang as guest and host.

    After tea, Liu Qi knelt down and bowed to Zhuge Liang for help.

    "My stepmother can't tolerate Yu Qi, and she wants to do harm day and night. Qi only hopes that she can protect herself, and hopes that her husband will say something to save her. It's such a kindness and kindness that Qi will never forget! I will definitely repay you generously in the future!"

    Zhuge Liang's expression changed upon hearing this, and he shouted sternly.

    "Liang and the emperor's uncle sent this message here. How dare you teach people to commit fratricide? If there is any leakage, the harm will be great. People in the world will say that I and the emperor's uncle are unkind and unjust. Liu Jingzhou is incompatible with each other! Master, this is the key point.  Am I going to die without a burial place?¡±

    Zhuge Liang finished speaking and stood up to leave.  When Liu Qi saw this, he quickly accused Zhuge Liang and asked him to stay indoors to drink together.  After three rounds of drinking, the night was getting late and most of the servants in the house had gone to rest.

    Liu Qi suddenly said something.

    "Qi has an ancient book, sir, please take a look at it."

    Zhuge Liang agreed and went with Liu Qi. Liu Qi led Zhuge Liang to a small building. Zhuge Liang saw that there was nothing in the building and asked suspiciously.

    "Where is the book?"

    ??Liu Qi knelt on his knees again and cried.

    "Qi's life is at stake, sir, can't you say a word to save him?"

    Hearing this, Zhuge Liang stood up without saying a word and wanted to go downstairs, but saw that the stairs had been removed, so he had no choice but to turn back.  Liu Qi whispered.

    "Qi wants to ask for advice, but the teacher is afraid that he will leak it and drag down the emperor's uncle, so he refuses to say anything. Now it cannot go up to the sky or come down to the earth. It comes out of the king's mouth and into Qi's ears. Only Qi can hear what the teacher says.  , Mr. Qingqing enlightens me.¡±

    Zhuge Liang pretended to be embarrassed and sighed.

    "It is unjust to be estranged and not close to each other. How can Liang plan for the young master?"

    "If the husband refuses to save me, Qi's life is not guaranteed and she will die before the husband!!!"

    Liu Qi suddenly became crazy. After speaking, he drew his sword and wanted to kill himself.  Zhuge Liang saw clearly in his eyes and secretly said in his heart, this is enough.  He quickly stopped and said.

    "Young master, don't commit suicide, Liang has a good plan."

    Liu Qi was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

    "Sir, teach me quickly!"

    "It is true that Liu Qi is very dependent on the lord. Although he is cowardly, he is better because of his noble birth. It can be used just right. Leave a way out first to prevent any unexpected use in the future."

    Zhuge Liang thought secretly in his heart. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth to teach.

    "Young Master is in Jingzhou. The Cai family is afraid that you will seize power and will do harm to you and will not stop fighting. Now that Huang Zu has died, there is no one to guard Jiangxia. Han Xuan is mediocre in talent and cannot hold a big position. Why don't you go to Liu Jingzhou and ask for troops to garrison Jiangxia? Then you can avoid it."  Woe to you."

    Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked him for his advice. Then he ordered someone to get the ladder and send Zhuge Liang downstairs.  After Zhuge Liang had taught him the plan, he said goodbye and went back to the post to see Liu Bei and tell him what he had done.  Although the two of them did not speak outright about some of the arrangements, they understood clearly and Liu Bei was very happy.

    The next day, Liu Qijin saw his father Liu Biao and said that he wanted to defend Jiangxia.  Liu Biao was undecided. Liu Qi was the eldest son and could not bear to let him go away, so he asked Liu Bei to discuss it together.  Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had discussed this for a long time and replied to Liu Biao.

    "The important land of Jiangxia cannot be defended by others, and it requires a trusted person to protect it. The young master and his elder brother are even close. The young master has such great ambitions, and it is just a good opportunity to sharpen them, so the elder brother might as well send him."

    Liu Biao also thought it was reasonable and nodded slightly.

    "My dear brother, what you said is true. I have listened carefully to you in return. I recently heard that Cao Cao built the Xuanwu Pond in Ye County to train his navy. It seems that he indeed has the intention of marching south, so we must be on guard. My dear brother, I have thought deeply about borrowing troops.  The current situation is unstable. I really don¡¯t dare to lend more troops to my dear brother. I can only lend you ten thousand at most. As for the military order, my dear brother doesn¡¯t need it.¡±

    After Liu Bei heard this, he felt quite sorry, but he also knew Liu Biao's difficulties and did not dare to push any further.  Then Liu Biao and Liu Bei talked for a while, and Liu Bei resigned and prepared to return to Xinye.

    The next day, Liu Biao ordered ten thousand soldiers and horses and sent them to the city.  Liu Bei took over, and after thanking Liu Biao, he saw that Liu Biao's face was pale, and his face showed an old look.

    "Brother, there is no need to worry about the affairs of Xinye. I have my own brother to resist Cao's thieves. Brother, you still need to take care of yourself and don't work too hard. Jingzhou is in crisis, and your body affects the whole of Jingzhou!"

    Liu Biao was very moved when he heard what he said, so he said.

    "Don't worry, good brother. Brother, you have your own sense of proportion."

    After saying that, Liu Biao and Liu Bei both had water curtains in their eyes, which was very touching.  The two of them said goodbye, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led 10,000 troops back to Xinye.

    A few days later, when Liu Bei arrived in Xinye, Pan, Zhang and other generals were happy to see that they had indeed borrowed troops and horses.  But only Zhuge Liang frowned deeply, not knowing what he was thinking.

    When Liu Bei saw this, his heart tightened and he asked quickly.

    "Why is Kong Ming looking so sad? Is it possible that he is worried?"

    Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and spoke immediately.

    "According to my plan, Cao Cao should have sent troops to the northwest at this time, but I only saw him mobilizing his troops and horses, but he has not seen any movement of his troops. I predict that something will happen. My lord, you should take precautions first.  ¡±

    Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this and asked again.

    "The implication of Kong Ming's words is that Cao Cao is about to come to the south to conquer Jingzhou? This is a great time to conquer the northwest. Cao Cao uses his troops like a god, doesn't he know this truth?"

    Zhuge Liang shook his goose feather fan lightly, and after thinking for a while, he smiled slightly.

    "I'm afraid there is someone with a great strategy who will teach Cao Cao to attack north and south together, with a two-pronged approach, to unify the world as soon as possible!"

    When Liu Bei heard this, he was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble all over, secretly sighing that Cao Cao's arrogance was astonishing.  Zhuge Liang's expression condensed and he suddenly asked.

    "How is Ming Gong better than Cao Cao?"

    As soon as Zhuge Liang said these words, all the soldiers around him became angry. It was obvious at a glance that Liu Bei would be humiliating himself if he answered.  But Liu Bei?He said calmly in his heart.

    "It's not as good as that."

    After hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled instead.  Only those who know themselves can see their weaknesses, improve them, and achieve great success.  Zhuge Liang was most afraid of Liu Bei being a headstrong man. Because of his previous small victories, he became arrogant. Even with an army of 100,000, Liu Bei would never be able to resist Cao Cao.

    Zhuge Liang's smile made Liu Bei feel more reassured, and he immediately heard Zhuge Liang speak.

    "Don't worry, my lord. We must prepare early and reorganize our troops and horses. Liang teaches himself and can wait for the enemy. If Cao Cao really sends troops to attack, Liang will have a good strategy to deal with it."

    Liu Bei was overjoyed and relied even more on Zhuge Liang.  In the following days, Zhuge Liang trained 20,000 troops and horses day and night, taught formation formations, and was ready to deal with Cao's army.

    It is said that Cao Cao sent Liu Ye to Yizhou to meet Liu Zhang and pay tribute.  Liu Zhang asked why he came.  Liu Ye's eyes flickered and he announced the imperial edict.  Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard that Cao Cao had taught him to send troops from Dongchuan.  Liu Zhang had a cowardly temperament and was hesitant.  At this time, Fa Zheng stepped out and said in a solemn voice.
