Chapter 432

Zhuge Jin had talent in administrative ability.

And Zhuge Liang, although young, showed intelligence that was even far superior to his elder brother Zhuge Jin.

This time, the strategy of winning over Liu Biao was also devised by Zhuge Liang for Liu Bei.

In order to successfully win over Liu Biao.

Zhuge Liang volunteered to serve as an envoy to Xiangyang.

And when it came to the relationship between the Zhuge family and Jingzhou, it was truly tangled and messy.

In fact.

Several generations ago, the Zhuge family had intermarried with the local great aristocratic families of Jingzhou, the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family.

Zhuge Xuan's younger sister, that is, Zhuge Liang's aunt, was married to Kuai Yue's younger brother.

That is to say, although the Zhuge family was not a local Jingzhou aristocratic family.

But due to the existence of several generations of intermarriage, it could be considered half a Jingzhou aristocratic family.

Zhuge Liang coming to Jingzhou was like visiting relatives and returning to his mother's home.

After all.

To a certain extent.

The three local uncrowned king aristocratic families of Jingzhou, the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family, all had intermarriage relationships with the Zhuge family.

Even if the task of winning over Liu Biao was not successfully completed.

No one would deliberately make things difficult for the young Zhuge Liang.

At this moment.

Facing Zhuge Liang's salute, Liu Biao smiled and gave Zhuge Liang a seat.

"Little friend Kongming, I won't say any polite words."

"Jingzhou does not want to see Gu Linzhi conquer Jiangdong."

"But Gu Linzhi still has Dong Zhongying standing behind him."

"If Gu Linzhi really died in the south."

"Jingzhou cannot afford Dong Zhongying's retaliation."

"Therefore, if you want Jingzhou to send troops, you must think of a suitable way to avoid Dong Zhongying's retaliation!"

Liu Biao, as a warlord who split off the nine commanderies of Jingxiang for nearly twenty years in original history, his ability to guard the land was really not a boast.

His meaning was very clear.

It is fine if you want Jingzhou to send troops to be a stirrer.

But you, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, must ensure that Jingzhou will not be subject to retaliation and strikes from Dong Zhuo.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly and answered lightly:

"Governor, you are joking."

"Jingzhou does not need to pay much in this war."

"Just need to dispatch Governor Huang of Jiangxia to lead thirty thousand naval troops to cut off Gu Linzhi's retreat."

"As for the rest, naturally someone will clean up Gu Linzhi!"

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this.

Liu Biao suddenly became interested.

"I don't know who will complete the cleaning up of Gu Linzhi that little friend Kongming mentioned?"

"As far as I know, the number of soldiers under Liu Xuande's command is not many, right?"

"Could it be that he is so confident that he can finish off Gu Linzhi with his own strength?"

Liu Biao was very puzzled.

Although Liu Bei now had the logistical milk-mother Jiangdong aristocratic families to help, his strength in all aspects had developed rapidly.

But the time Liu Bei occupied Jiangdong was not very long.

Relying only on the seventy or eighty thousand troops in his hands, could he really defeat Gu Yi?

The white feather fan in Zhuge Liang's hand shook gently, and then he sighed:

"My lord's military strength is indeed not enough to defeat Gu Linzhi."

"But... if you add Sun Bofu, how should Gu Linzhi deal with it?"

"Plop!"

Hearing this.

Liu Biao's pupils constricted, and his arms trembled slightly.

If it was an alliance of the three forces of Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce.

Finishing off Gu Yi in the south was really not impossible!

Of course.

Liu Biao was not a fool either.

Zhuge Liang had no proof for his words.

Sun Ce was Gu Yi's little brother in name, and the two sides also had a marriage relationship.

How could he betray Gu Yi for no reason?

However.

Zhuge Liang seemed to see through what Liu Biao was thinking.

Only to see him smile slightly:

"Governor, you don't have to worry about me deceiving you."

"You can wait and see."

"After Sun Bofu officially sends troops, it won't be too late for you to dispatch Governor Huang of Jiangxia to send troops."

"In this way, you will know whether Sun Bofu will choose to betray Gu Linzhi."
