Chapter 31: Zhuge Liang's plan to kill three birds with one stone

Jia Xu and others withdrew.

Another civil official appeared, it was Zhuge Kongming, who analyzed the current situation:
"Your Majesty, even if we follow what Mr. Liu said before, it is better to stay still than to move, but we cannot not do something in the past ten years."

"Oh, does Wu Hou have any good ideas?" Xu Chunlin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask quickly.

Although Liu Bowen's suggestion is good, it will take a long time to implement. Although Jia Xu's strategy is brilliant, it will also take time for it to take effect.

I have to admit that I have such a group of big men under my command, and they can do anything, whether it's open fighting, covert seizure, conspiracy, overt schemes, tricks, or covert schemes.

Li Yang is just a pile of dry bones in a tomb.

That’s right, Xu Chunlin is inflated!
With such a group of people, who wouldn't be inflated under their leadership?
Even someone like Liu Chan, who was jokingly called a hopeless person, could finally wear the yellow robe with the support of this group of civil and military officials.

Zhuge Liang seemed confident and tried to stroke his beard and smile skillfully. However, as soon as his hand touched his chest, he realized that he was only a teenager.

I had no choice but to take it back awkwardly.

Pretending nothing happened, he said, "Now there is Beimang in the north and Liyang in the south. Beiliang is stuck in between the two. The situation right now is like the world is divided into three parts, and Beiliang is the weakest party."

"Two tigers are lurking around us, we must be on guard!"

"But Beiliang is located in the northwest, and the two are not really separated. Liyang also has a border with Beimang, and in my opinion, this border has some room for maneuver."

Xu Chunlin thought about it.

"The border?"

"That's right!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and continued, "I wonder if Your Majesty can trust the generals under your command? Can you bear to part with the ministers under your command?"

"Of course! I naturally trust you, but what about what Wu Hou meant by being willing to give up?" Xu Chunlin asked puzzledly.

Zhuge Liang bowed and said, "Since Your Majesty is willing to do so, I will boldly offer you a plan. This plan is called starting a new business!"

"Starting a new business? How do you start a new business?" Xu Chunlin asked curiously.

"Right now, Beiliang dominates the three states, and a single move could affect the entire body. The prince has only been conferred the title a few years ago, and everyone in Liyang is keeping a close eye on the prince, trying to find any mistakes or omissions!"

"Your Majesty is now like a dragon trapped in shallow water or a tiger in prison, with no ability to display. In my opinion, Your Majesty, why don't you send a trusted commander to lead enough capable officials and generals to make new achievements at the border between Liyang and Beimang?"

"The border is a chaotic place. In addition, the Liyang Dynasty has just been unified for a short time, and the court is not stable. The control over various places is not strong enough. This commander can fully develop his power."

"You don't need to invest too much in the early stage. You can just feed on the enemy and expand northward. As long as you can seize a state, you can establish yourself as a king. Then you can send someone who is eloquent to Liyang to ask for the throne of a king of a different surname. You can do so without showing any rebellious intentions and accept their offer in name, so that you can be legitimate."

"For the sake of maintaining stability in the world, the Liyang Dynasty will certainly agree to the request of this hero who has made great contributions to the expansion of territory, unless there are any unexpected events. On the other hand, they should also be thinking of clamping down on Beiliang and pass the proposal smoothly."

"This plan has three benefits. First, it can minimize the attention paid to the Beiliang Palace. Second, Your Majesty can develop his own power. Third, it can weaken the power of Beimang."

"When the time is right, the king will call for the generals to follow. Then, Beiliang and the generals sent by the king can unite their forces and fight together. After quickly taking down Liyang, they can move towards Beimang."

"This plan depends on whether Your Majesty dares to..."

As for the rest, Xu Chunlin understood it even without Zhuge Liang saying it. This plan could be said to kill three birds with one stone. The only requirement was whether Xu Chunlin dared to delegate power and whether he trusted his subordinates.

On the one hand, Zhuge Liang came up with this plan because he really took Xu Chunlin into consideration, and on the other hand, he was also considering Xu Chunlin's ability. Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters and naturally need great courage. If he does not even have such courage, how can he swallow up the world?

What Xu Chunlin said before was nothing but empty talk.

Xu Chunlin pondered for a moment, looked at the ministers below with shining eyes, and immediately clapped his hands and decided: "What else is there to say? The strategy is there. It's just a matter of claiming the throne and establishing the system. What can I not dare to use?"

"Moreover, I not only want to use it, but I want to use it greatly!"

"I want to release three of the main commanders. The waters of this world are already muddy enough, so I might as well muddy it up even more!" "Now, listen to my orders!"

Wow! ! !
All the ministers and generals knelt on one knee, waiting for the king's order!
"The commander-in-chief of the first route, Yue Fei, leads Huo Qubing, Zhang Liao, Xu Chu, Taishi Ci, Ju Yi, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Jiang Wei..., with a total of 28 people under his command. I allow him to build his own Yuntai of 28 generals, corresponding to the Zhoutian constellations!"

"The second commander, Han Xin, leads Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, Gao Changgong, Pei Xingjian, Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xue Rengui, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Cunxiao, Chen Qingzhi, Gao Shun..., with a total of thirty-six people under his command, a total of thirty-six Tiangang, and they can control themselves!"

"I will be the commander of the third route. I will use the three states of Beiliang as my base camp and manage it myself. I will continue to radiate outwards and secretly provide support for the other two routes."

"I have Liu Bowen, Bai Qi, Li Yuanba, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Da, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Shen Wansan, Huang Zhong, Li Mu, Shang Yang... There are a total of 72 people under my command, which is the number of 72 Earthly Fiends. You can also confer titles on them yourself!"

"Ye Bushou can provide you with the most detailed intelligence. I will also provide you with weapons, armor, and food. You can do your best to show the world the overwhelming power of the talents from the land of China!"

"Some people have other plans. According to my order, they will infiltrate the armies of various places in the Liyang Dynasty and wait for the right time!"

"We will obey your orders!"

All the ministers and generals shouted in unison!
Han Xin and Yue Fei, in particular, felt so grateful to the emperor and felt deeply trusted by him that they shed tears.

After this night, Xu Chunlin used his heavenly magical powers to send everyone out one by one, leaving only a few people.

"Zhou Yu!"

Xu Chunlin looked at a handsome young man.

"Take Lu Su, Gan Xingba and others south, I want the Qingzhou navy!"

"Yes, I will obey your orders!"

"Have you ever blamed me?"

"I don't blame you, I just hate that I can't fight that Zhuge villager again!"

"Haha, if you have Yu, why have you had Liang? After thousands of years, you still can't let go. In the future, when you two serve in the same palace, you will have plenty of time to fight!"

Xu Chunlin patted Zhou Yu's chest and teased.

"Yuan Ba, you will stay by my side from now on!"

"Hey...Brother, is there anything to eat?"

The sturdy young man scratched his head and said with a red face.

"Yes, I'll take you out to eat later!"

Xu Chunlin smiled and looked at the only girl among the generals, who was also specially left behind by Xu Chunlin.

"Finally, there is this...little leopard?"

The little girl in red showed her tiger teeth and said angrily, "I am Hua Mulan, not Little Leopard!"

But to Xu Chunlin, she looked more and more like a little leopard baring its teeth!
"Okay, little leopard, just follow me and be my maid!"

"Oh!"

Hua Mulan responded with a gloomy look.

Li Yuanba and Hua Mulan followed Xu Chunlin on his left and right. Looking at the stars in the night sky, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He murmured to himself, "The past is gone, but the heroes of today are still to be seen!"
