Chapter 1156: With me, there is a chance of victory
There were only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang in the study.
Since joining Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang has made almost nothing remarkable in other aspects except for making achievements in government affairs.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had no good feelings for Zhuge Liang.
Seeing that he had no achievements, he would often say something wrong with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had no idea when he said he was not good once or twice.
If you say too much, even if Liu Bei wants to show his open mind, it will be difficult to hide his doubts.
Looking at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming has been in Xinye for some days, and his political achievements are obvious to everyone. I just got some news that Ju Su arrested some officials in Haixi, and Shi Guangcai beheaded the officials in public. In your opinion, is there any place to use this matter?"
"I won't hide it from the envoy." Zhuge Liang said: "Before this, I had received news that Ju Su had entered Haixi. The moment he entered Haixi, I guessed that this would happen."
"Was Kong Ming really available to say this?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up and he asked Zhuge Liang.
"The magistrate of Haixi County is Changxi's wife and uncle." Zhuge Liang said: "Changxi originally joined Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others in accordance with Cao Cao. Before Cangting, Zang Ba, Wu Dun and Yuan Tan had a long battle, but Changxi remained unmoved. When Zang Ba, Wu Dun led his army to retreat into Yuzhou, he still occupied the old land, which shows that this person did not obey the Cao family's orders."
"Kong Ming means..." Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang after hearing something.
"Contact Changxi and ask him to use troops in the north." Zhuge Liang said: "Once Changxi sends troops, the envoy will persuade Liu Jingsheng to send troops to attack the Cao family. Advance north and south, even if he cannot defeat Cao Cao, it will make him feel uncomfortable."
"So that's it." Liu Bei asked: "Kong Ming thinks it's the most appropriate to let him go?"
"Mi Zhu is quite eloquent, so he can let him go." Zhuge Liang said: "Chang Xi is short-sighted. As long as he gives him some benefits, whether he can fulfill it or not depends on his ability."
"What benefits are appropriate to give him?" Liu Bei asked.
"Qingzhou." Zhuge Liang said: "I promised Changxi that as long as he sent troops to attack Cao Zirong, the envoy would help him get Qingzhou in the future."
"Kong Ming believes that Changxi and Cao Zirong have a chance of winning?" Liu Bei asked afterwards.
"There is no chance of winning." Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Zirong's wise men are like clouds, with countless powerful generals, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. However, there are only tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Remnants under Changxi. Although the number of people is equal, the difference between them on the battlefield is not a little bit. What really brings trouble to Cao Zirong is the envoy, not Changxi."
"I'll let Mi Zhu meet Changxi now." Liu Bei shouted outside the door: "Come."
A guard guarding outside the door entered the room.
Liu Bei ordered: "Please come over, I have something important to discuss with him."
The guard stepped down, and Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang again: "Since Changxi is not Cao Zirong's opponent, how likely is he to win against him?"
"If the envoy is against him, he will not have the same chance of winning." Zhuge Liang replied.
"There is no chance of winning, why does Kong Ming still want me to send troops?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
"What I mean is that the envoy and he have no chance of winning against the enemy." Zhuge Liang said confidently: "But now it is not the envoy to deal with Cao Zirong, but with my assistance, the result will be a different person."
Zhuge Liang was obviously boasting.
If it were someone else, he might have been furious about his arrogance.
But Liu Bei was very tolerant in this regard.
He said to Zhuge Liang: "I will ask Duke Jing Sheng for troops. As for attacking Cao Zirong, I will rely on Kong Ming!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach Cao Zirong a lesson." Zhuge Liang stood up and said to Liu Bei.
Time passes quickly.
Mi Zhu, who was ordered to meet with Changxi, arrived at the Changxi military camp a few days later.
Most of the soldiers in the military camp had been replaced with Cao's army's armor, but a small number of them were wrapped in yellow turbans.
Not to mention that the military discipline of the soldiers under Cao Shu's command is incomparable, the people under Changxi's command are even worse than Liu Bei's soldiers.
Entering the military camp, a lieutenant led Mi Zhu towards the chief barracks.
When he arrived outside the barracks, the captain bowed and said, "Report to General, Liu Xuande sent Mi Zhu to pay his respects."
"Let him come in." A voice came from inside.
The captain took a step aside and said to Mi Zhu: "Sir, please!"
When he entered the barracks, Mi Zhu saw many people wearing armored generals sitting here.
The first one was a middle-aged general with a slightly fat body.
As soon as Mi Zhu entered the barracks, the middle-aged general asked, "I have no friendship with Liu Xuande. What are Mr. Mi doing here?"
Knowing that the person who spoke was Changxi, Mi Zhu replied: "I heard that the general's wife's uncle was murdered, Liu Envoy was heartbroken and asked me to come and pay my condolences."
"What's there to pay for condolences?" said Chang Xi: "He committed suicide by himself. The young master gave him a Haixi County Magistrate, but he was doing things randomly there. He couldn't blame anyone else for losing his life."
"It's wrong for the general to say this." Mi Zhu replied: "I wonder if the general has benefited his wife and uncle in the past. Have you sent some here?"
Changxi frowned slightly, his face suddenly became bad, and his tone became cold and asked, "What do you mean by saying this?"
"I have nothing else to do." Mi Zhu replied, "I just wanted to tell the general that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold. He made his wife's uncle have such a thing, and it happened to be Cao Zirong's thoughts."
"What does something wrong with him have to do with me?" Changxi said: "Sir is a bit sensational."
"It's logical that it doesn't matter." Mi Zhu said: "But he is the general's wife's uncle, and the general has tens of thousands of troops and is stationed in Qingzhou. This will make the relationship very big."
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Changxi asked coldly: "Why do you say that, is it to provoke the relationship between me and my son?"
"Whether others need to provoke between the general and Cao Zirong?" Mi Zhu shook his head and smiled: "Actually, the general knows very well that Cao Zirong didn't deal with you, just because it's not time."
"Come!" As soon as Mi Zhu finished speaking, Changxi shouted.
Two guards entered the tent and Changxi ordered: "Drag this person down and chop it down, and send the head to Shouchun and hand it over to the young master."
The guard stepped forward and was about to raise Mi Zhu, but Mi Zhu said, "I have a way to live for the general, but the general refused to say much. It's nothing to die. It's a pity that tens of thousands of soldiers under the general will turn into dead bones in the wilderness!"
"Slow down!" The guard just turned Mi Zhu, and when he heard what he said, Changxi said: "Let him go, I want to hear what kind of way he can give me!"
The guard let go of Mi Zhu, and Changxi waved his hand to signal them to retreat.
