2531、Joint advance and retreat
"Fu Tong?" Liu Bei was a little surprised.
"That's right, just in case, send General Fu Tong to lead the elite troops."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "General Fu Tong is not famous under the lord's command. Few people in the world know that he will not be recognized by him."
"I am worthy of being Kong Ming, and I think so thoughtful." After Liu Bei understood, he couldn't help but exclaim.
Let Fu Tong go, that is, prevent Liu Zhe from sending his generals.
"Okay, just follow what Kong Ming said."
Liu Bei agreed to Zhuge Liang's opinion, and he said: "Let Fu Tong lead fifty white-eared elite soldiers."
Liu Bei was very confident in his elite soldiers, and fifty people were enough to loot Liu Zhang's envoy.
Zhu Huan, Ji Ling, and Wei Yan all showed disappointment on their faces, especially Wei Yan, who was even more dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang.
Since he joined Liu Bei's army, Zhuge Liang did not like him and always targeted him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him very upset. However, now Zhuge Liang is deeply trusted by Liu Bei, and even if he is dissatisfied, he dare not express it.
"The lord is wise."
Zhuge Liang happily patted Liu Bei's flattery.
Then he spoke out: "If you can get the map of Yizhou, it will be of great help to the lord's entry into Sichuan, and it can make the lord a little more powerful."
"Kong Ming, what are the plans for entering Sichuan? When will it start?" After hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Liu Bei simply took the opportunity to ask about entering Sichuan.
"It's probably ready. The soldiers have gathered for training, the food and grass have been allocated, everything is ready, and there is only one opportunity." Zhuge Liang said.
"What opportunity?" Liu Bei asked.
"Wait for the lord to be called king!" Zhuge Liang's expression became serious.
When Liu Bei talked about this, he felt excited and asked, "What does Jiangdong mean?"
"Master, Mr. Wu has decided to write a letter with him in a joint letter. He said that he would send an envoy to come and go to Xudu with the people sent by the lord." Ma Liang said.
"Where is his messenger?"
Liu Bei was a little dissatisfied with the calculations. It has been several months since Ma Liang went to Jiangdong last time, but there has been no movement in Jiangdong yet. If it weren't for the distance that was too far, Liu Bei would have wanted to send Ma Liang to urge him.
"Lord, you can send someone to Xudu to deal with the matter first, bribe the officials of Xudu, and at the same time, ask the people of Xudu to start spreading news and creating momentum, so that the people of the world will know that the lord will be crowned king." Zhuge Liang suggested.
"Lord, the military advisor's plan is good." Ma Liang immediately agreed.
Liu Bei nodded. Just as he was about to agree, someone from below came to report.
"Lord, the envoy of Jiangdong is here."
"Jiangdong envoy?"
Liu Bei was startled first, then said happily: "Come on your behalf!"
"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." Zhuge Liang said to Liu Bei.
"Haha..." Liu Bei smiled happily, and then the envoy from Jiangdong came in.
"The envoy of Jiangdong, Zhang Hong, has met Emperor Liu." The visitor was Sun Quan's confidant, Zhang Hong.
"It turns out to be Zhang Changshi. Please sit down, please sit down quickly." Liu Bei said hurriedly.
Zhang Hong became famous very early, and Liu Bei did not dare to neglect him, so as not to gain a bad reputation.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu."
After sitting down, Zhang Hong said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Liu, the purpose of Wu Hou sending me to come, I believe Uncle Liu should know, right?"
"I know naturally."
Liu Bei laughed and said, "Bi is ready here. Does the Chief Secretary have any other suggestions?"
"I need to take care of myself when I go there this time. Uncle Liu can't feel sorry for money." Zhang Hong said with a smile, reminding Liu Bei in a joking tone that this time I go there, I have to ask the messenger to bring enough gold, silver and treasures.
"Sir, please rest assured, my lord has prepared enough money." Zhuge Liang said beside him.
"You must be Mr. Wolong?"
Zhang Hong noticed Zhuge Liang, bowed to Zhuge Liang, and said, "I have been famous for a long time. When I saw him today, I was indeed of extraordinary temperament. No wonder Uncle Liu was able to seize Xiangyang from Cao Cao."
"The Chief Historian has been awarded too much. Only with the Chief Historian's assistance can the Jiangdong be managed in an orderly manner and the people can live and work in peace and contentment." Zhuge Liang also politely praised Zhang Hong.
Everyone is holding a flower sedan chair. This is the business of mercy. As long as there are no conflicts or enemies, it will be no harm to them when they meet and blow each other.
"Ha ha...."
After the two of them blew each other, they couldn't help laughing out loud. They looked at each other and felt more and more that they liked each other.
"Changshi."
After finishing laughing, Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Hong: "We have the same purpose when we go this time. I hope that the Chief Secretary can advance and retreat with the envoys sent by my lord, so that they will not be fooled by others."
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei's expression became serious, which was a very important matter.
His people went to Xudu with Zhang Hong to ask for the title of king. If Liu Bei's qualification to be crowned with the title of king was sacrificed to achieve the title of king, Liu Bei would never agree. He would rather neither of them be crowned with the title of king than let his failure achieve the title of Sun Quan.
