ssociation could help you store it for now. Of course, the items would still belong to you! As long as you agree, I can make you an elite member in one sentence. After that, you'll receive plenty of b..."In times of national crisis, Cao Cao is powerful. We should all unite as one. We believe that Liu Huangshu should immediately seek refuge in Xichuan and join forces with his relative Liu Zhang to resist Cao Cao together," Jia Xu said from the side.
Originally, after the Battle of Red Cliffs, a three-legged tripod situation should have formed.
Only then will Liu Bei advance into Xichuan.
Lu Cheng and Jia Xu discussed.
Just get this process started earlier.
Simply have Liu Bei go directly to Xichuan and integrate with Liu Zhang, developing his own power base.
Whereas Liu Zhang was a mediocre ruler, Liu Bei was quite different. Although others may not know, Uncle Liu Huang is an extraordinary figure who will surely dilute the power of the Sichuan clan and make Shu strong.
Liu Bei's generals were elite, but his army was small and he lacked funds.
When developing in the Sichuan-Shu region, Liu Zhang would certainly not give Liu Bei too many benefits. In the early stage, it was inevitable to rely on Luoyang 【Qianji City】.
Now this is interesting.
At least the Xiliang Ma family and Liu Bei have been settled, there is more room for operation in the Battle of Red Cliffs.
If you're going for a decisive victory, then following Jia Xu's plan, we need to keep things balanced like a perfectly leveled bowl of water.
Since Cao Cao is currently powerful, Jia Xu naturally advised Lü Cheng to appear poor and defend the barren land on the surface, while secretly supporting Cao Cao's opponents.
Of course, this is just the general direction. As for whether it will develop in the same way as history, even Jia Xu and Lü Cheng couldn't predict that.
And if this trend continues, what would the Battle of Red Cliffs be like in this world
"Mr. Jia makes a valid point, it's just that I, Liu Bei," Liu Bei lowered his head slightly and let out a sigh.
He was truly short on funds, and though he had many excellent generals under his command, Yuan Shao had recently suffered a defeat, and Liu Bei had been forced to flee to the vicinity of Xinye. His army numbered less than a thousand men, and Cao Cao's pursuing troops would arrive soon.
"Hmm," Lu Cheng knew Liu Bei was about to speak. "Your Majesty, back at Hulao Pass, you lent me a warhorse which was chopped down by Lü Bu. I never got a chance to repay it. But I can make amends for that. I can provide Your Majesty with one hundred warhorses."
"Oh" Liu Bei's face lit up with joy.
Lu Cheng didn't say anything else, and he led Liu Bei to the backyard. Guan and Zhang, hearing that Lu Cheng was going to show off his horse, also gathered around.
Lu Cheng didn't say a word, summoning out a [Western Liang Warhorse].
"What a fine horse!" Both Guan and Zhang, being discerning men, were instantly captivated. Here, Guan Yu did not obtain the Red Hare.
Such Xiliang horses are basically rare to find in the Central Plains.
A good horse can greatly enhance a general's combat effectiveness.
This, of course, is a good horse.
Over the past six months, Qijian City's revenue, plus the labor of Lu Cheng and Aqing, two Nascent Soul cultivators, has been used to exchange for resources from Liangzhou.
"Lu General, do you have a hundred horses" Liu Bei was astonished.
"Yes." Lu Cheng nodded affirmatively.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang whispered to each other. You know, it's hard for Cao Cao to come up with 1000 horses at once, but a hundred excellent steeds are right here!
With this warhorse, the battle in Xinye in the future will surely become proactive, and there will be the capital to go west to Xichuan and seek refuge with Liu Zhang. It's just
Liu Bei hesitated.
What is the price
"General Lu, these horses are excellent, but I can only afford half the price."
Lu Cheng and Jia Xu exchanged glances.
I'm afraid Uncle Emperor might be able to pay in full. Luckily, he can't.
Do you want to support the forces of Mohist/Gongsun Jia/Nongjia [Liu Bei] Your current support rate in [Ma Teng]'s faction is 46%.
This is how things are done these days.
Hundreds of families support, warlord strife
In the end, who will win the world's fate!
Caobaos is at the zenith of this era, and there's also the Sima family secretly pulling strings. We need to prepare early.
"It's alright, we can give your uncle three years for the rest. And to be honest with your uncle, we belong to a branch of the Mohist school. We can also provide support to your troops in Xishu. However, our forces are small, and if there are major changes in the world in the future, it might be difficult to defend." Lu Cheng smiled.
Liu Bei's eyes widened in astonishment.
He claimed to be a royal uncle, and indeed some people believed him. But now he is at the lowest point of his career, and no one is optimistic about him. Now that hundreds of companies are interested in him despite his downfall
By the Three Kingdoms period, Mohism had spread throughout the land. The main branch of Mohism served in the imperial court, holding the position of Minister of Public Works. Meanwhile, various branches of Mohism were scattered across the country, each with its own network and gradually becoming less reliant on central authority.
But by the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the connection between the central government and local regions significantly weakened. The ruling faction of Mohist thinkers within the court also gradually lost control over its various branches, leading to the Three Kingdoms period.
It's already like this.
It's truly surprising that Liu Bei has gained the support of the Mohist school. Although I don't know how strong Lu Cheng is, providing a hundred warhorses as an investment shows a great deal of face to Liu Bei.
"General Lu, is this true" Liu Bei asked.
"Really." Lu Cheng nodded.
Besides Cao Cao, Liu Bei is considered one of the most worthwhile investments.
The problem is
Lu Cheng also wanted to invest in Cao's boss, so it wouldn't be easy for the Red Cliffs gang to change Cao's fate.
The problem is that even Cao Cao refused. He sent a letter to Xu Chang, but Cao Cao probably didn't even look at it. It was only because he considered them old acquaintances that he spared himself the trouble of destroying him outright.
Still, according to Jia Xu's old plan, support Liu Bei and let him enter Shu earlier.
Let Liangzhou turn against Cao Cao ahead of time.
If Zhuge Liang, my elder brother, is dead, then I will do my best to act as a water carrier and bring about the division of the world into three parts.
These are all part of Jia Xu's scheme. When the time comes to attack Jiangdong, there will be a battle waiting for us.
This is the new version of Three Kingdoms.
Only those forces that support themselves think they can compare with Cao Cao. They are still too weak. When Cao Cao was sweeping across the Central Plains, it would be very difficult to form a scale.
Just as Qianjicheng's production capacity needs a market, this is all a good thing.
Liu Bei accepted the suggestions of Lü Cheng and Jia Xu.
"Snow in the heart warming is much higher than Xi Liang's support, instantly reached 100%, because there was no other hundred families willing to support Liu Bei."
Jia Xu, Lü Cheng, and Liu Bei discussed for a long time together.
It is unanimously believed that the Cao army's pursuit will arrive soon, and resolving the current predicament is the top priority.
Finally.
"Lord Lu," Liu Bei addressed Lu Cheng differently now: "After discussing with Mr. Jia, I believe that for me to go to Xichuan, it is best to travel light and divide my forces into two routes. We can escape the pursuing army. One route will feign a journey by water to Liu Biao, tying down Cao Cao. The other route will move overland, intercepting the Cao army near Bowangpo, then head straight for Xichuan."
You have 100% support in Liu Bei's faction, and you can choose a card path!
1. Jingzhou is restless (Predicted Difficulty: Extremely Difficult, Requirements: Naval Combat). After victory, return to Luoyang. The general Guan Yu will join your deck. You and Guan Yu already have a foundation of goodwill, which will give you a bonus.
2. Battle of Bo望 Pass (Predicted difficulty: Extremely difficult, requires land battle). Upon victory, you will lose ownership of the Territory Card [Luoyang (Ruined)]. The general Zhang Fei will join your deck. If the general Zhao Yun survives, he will also be added to your deck.
