"Pingsheng!"

When Liu Bei saw that his subordinates and confidants had all arrived, he quickly waved his hand and said, "You and the rest are Gu's important ministers. This is not an official court meeting."

"Kong Ming, filial piety and uprightness, Gong Heng does not need to be so polite,"

However, even so, under the leadership of Zhuge Liang, several people still finished the ceremony one after another before standing up and walking to one side to stand.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang, who was wearing plain clothes and nearly eight feet tall, with a handsome face and a feather fan in his hand, responded, "My king, your status is different now!"

"To show formality, we still have to abide by the etiquette of our ministers."

"The military advisor's words are serious!"

After Liu Bei heard this, there was a slight smile on his face, but his tone was quite happy,

"Your Majesty, I wonder if something important happened when you called us here this time?"

Huang Quan, who had always been quite serious, was the first to ask.

After saying this, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng from the side also slightly shifted their eyes and looked in the direction of their master.

Waiting quietly for everyone's looks, Liu Bei's originally angry expression seemed to gradually calm down, and he resumed his usual amiable tone of voice.

It was about half a quarter of an hour later,

He had just given detailed information to all ministers based on the information reported by the messengers from the Xiangfan front line and Wudu County in the north.

After saying these words, Liu Bei's expression seemed to change, his eyes moved slightly, and his tone became somewhat serious as he said, "I wonder what you think we should do next?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into a brief silence.

After the three of them heard the ins and outs of this current situation, they all had a look of deep thinking on their faces.

After what seemed like a while, Fa Zhong seemed to have regained his composure and composure, and said, "Your Majesty, from a righteous perspective, it's time to pledge our strength to the Northern Expedition and defeat Cao Cao's traitors."

As soon as these words came out, it was like deafening!

Everyone present did not wait for a reaction. He paused for a moment and continued to cup his hands and said, "It has been more than two years since our army pacified Hanzhong."

"As the counties in Yizhou have been recuperating for so long, each government treasury has sufficient military supplies!"

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty. You are ordered by the emperor to punish thieves. Since Emperor Gaozu, the Han Dynasty has set the ancestral motto that anyone not named Liu who calls himself king will be attacked by the whole world."

"Nowadays, the traitor Cao openly provokes the emperor and despises the imperial court. His behavior is no different from that of Wang Mang in the past."

"This time, the king-conferring ceremony organized by Cao Cao must have spread throughout the thirteen states, and the people in various states and counties are also quietly looking forward to our response."

"If your Majesty tolerates this matter now, it will not only disappoint the Han people everywhere, but it will also further increase the arrogance of Cao Cao's thieves."

"In the future, I'm afraid Cao Cao will have the raging ambition to change the dynasty and replace him."

A eloquent voice slowly fell out.

Fa Zheng organized his speech and quickly explained the reasons why he should fully support the immediate sending of troops to the Northern Expedition.

After saying this, Liu Bei in the first room seemed to be silent.

He accepted almost all the plans for legal justice.

But at this moment, I can't help but be hesitant.

In fact, the Northern Expedition is a matter of national importance!

This is not a major plan that can be finalized easily.

After thinking for a long time, Liu Bei also looked sideways at Zhuge Liang and Huang Quan and asked, "Military advisor, Gongheng, Xiaozhi, what do you think of this policy?"

"Is it feasible for us to launch the Northern Expedition now?"

This statement was mainly aimed at asking Zhuge Liang. After all, when he was in Longzhong, he had planned for him to first make Jingzhou his home, and then move to Yizhou as his foundation.

Then he conquered Sun Quan in the east and the Yi and Yue in the south. When the world changes, he can promote a general to lead the Jingzhou army out of Wan and Luo and march to the Central Plains.

He himself can lead the people from Yizhou out of Qinchuan.

With this two-sided trend, Cao's strategic conception of the Northern Expedition.

Liu Bei's eyes showed some eagerness.

He was looking forward to Zhuge Liang's response. Has "the world changed" now and can he send troops to the Northern Expedition in two directions?

"Your Majesty, judging from your power, what Xiaozhi said is not unreasonable."

"Thief Cao's move is clearly to bully the Han Dynasty and prepare for usurping the throne,"

"Since we want to revive the Han Dynasty, we must show our power to the world. In order to set an example, we should swear to conquer the Cao family, so that the people of the world know that the Han Dynasty is still there, and we will not let people's hearts turn to Cao's traitor side."

Huang Quan spoke loudly and loudly.

His extremely serious tone and the fierceness in his eyes showed that he supported Fa Zheng's plan for the Northern Expedition.

Waiting for his words to fall,

After Zhuge Liang thought deeply, he looked calm on his face, gently shook his feather fan, and responded softly, "Your Majesty, Liang thinks that what Xiaozhi just said is very reasonable!"

"Cao's thieves have made it clear that he intends to swallow up the Han Dynasty at any time and replace it with the Cao family. The king has always regarded reviving the Han Dynasty as his own mission."

"Now we must not say anything and just sit back and watch the other party become king."

The words were spoken one after another,

After hearing the words of all his confidants, Liu Bei's originally wrinkled expression relaxed a little, and gradually revealed a deep smile.

Looking at it this way, the thief Cao became the king, which is a matter of great anger and resentment!

He indeed had to go to the Northern Expedition to defend the majesty of the Han Dynasty.

But just as he was thinking to himself, Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment, then his face seemed to become a little serious and said:

"However, the Northern Expedition is a matter of national importance!"

"We must not be careless in the slightest."

"Especially the plank road out of Qinchuan is difficult and dangerous. If our army sends troops in a hurry, it is very likely that they will come back defeated!"

"At that time, it was not conducive to the morale of the soldiers under his command, and Cao was able to revive the gloom revealed after the Hanzhong War."

This sentence fell straight to the ground,

At this moment, not only Liu Bei himself was staring closely at him, but also Fazheng and Huang Quan on one side were confused about the sudden turn of events in his words.

They all stretched their necks and looked at him!

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang was unmoved. He still had a smile on his face and responded with his hands raised, "What Liang means is that the Northern Expedition is a major event for the country. Thorough preparations must be made and it is not appropriate to fight hastily."

First, he calmed everyone's minds with one word, and then he sighed and explained slightly: "The king can formally declare to all the officials in the court that the thief Cao is a rebel who wants to steal the Han Dynasty.

A true military spirit."

"Subsequently, I drafted a series of documents, copied them and spread them throughout the northern and southern states and counties, disclosing to the people of the world the evil deeds of Cao Cao and his thieves in recent years."

"Calling all the people to attack Cao Cao!"

After saying this, Zhuge Liang paused again, pondered for a moment and then continued, "As for the other side, your Majesty can also start from this day on to slowly gather the soldiers of the Northern Expedition to Hanzhong County."

"As well as ordnance, grain and grass and other corresponding logistics materials have gradually begun to be deployed and gathered on the front line in Hanzhong."

"And began to mobilize within the country to arouse hatred against the Cao thieves for controlling the Han Dynasty's artifacts."

"In this way, we will have enough time to deploy our troops and generals, plus time to raise enough food and fodder. By then, if we start the Northern Expedition, great things will be accomplished, and Cao's thieves will be wiped out!"

One word comes straight out,

Zhuge Liang's face couldn't help but glow red at this moment, and he shouted passionately.
Chapter completed!
