Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

Chapter 541 The Upgraded Version of the Longzhong Strategy

"This...isn't Sun Ce the ruler of Jiangdong?" Liu Bei asked, bewildered.

It was the year 199 AD!

Sun Ce died in 200 AD.

“Yes, he will die next year. His younger brother Sun Quan will succeed him,” Qianhe said with a smile.

Liu Bei was shocked upon hearing this, but knowing that Qianhe was an immortal, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything seems normal now.

............................

Qianhe then pointed towards Yizhou: "Whether it's Jingzhou or Jiangdong, they can be taken easily. We should take Jingzhou first, and then Yizhou will be the next target. Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is rich in resources. If we control Yizhou, our foundation will be solid."

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly, as if he could already see the future map of his territory.

If someone can give him a general direction, then things really become easier.

It can be said that what Chizuru was saying at this moment was an upgraded version of the Longzhong Plan!

Qianhe then pointed to the Guanzhong region and said loudly, "The Guanzhong region is a fertile land stretching for thousands of miles, and it is indeed a strategic point that military strategists must contend for. If we can hold this place, our advance will be like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable."

"If they retreat, they will have three burrows, like a cunning rabbit, and will be safe and sound. If Lord Xuande relies on this place, he will surely achieve unparalleled hegemony."

Chizuru spoke eloquently and logically.

This was also thanks to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan.

However, Kongming was not young at this time, so it was indeed possible to find an opportunity to have him assist Liu Bei ahead of time!

Of course, he had to rescue Yunxiao and the others first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go back now.

If we want Ren Fa to bring two thousand elite troops, we need Yunxiao. Otherwise, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden will discover him immediately after he enters!

.....................

at this time.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei felt as if he had been enlightened. He immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Qianhe, and said with tears of gratitude, "The Daoist's words are like a bright lamp illuminating the way forward. I am deeply grateful."

"Yes, in the past, when Qin marched east, it swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world. Your ancestor Liu Bang also marched east out of Guanzhong and established the Han Dynasty."

"At that time, if you, Xuande, go east out of Guanzhong and send the generals of Jingzhou and Jiangdong to launch a northern expedition, then the world can be pacified!" After Qianhe finished speaking, he pointed out several key locations one by one with his light finger movements.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was filled with anticipation and longing. He had never imagined that the future would be so bright!

However, when he thought of Liu Zhang of Yizhou, who was of the same clan as him... Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh and look worried.

Qianhe, observing Liu Bei's words and expressions, understood his concerns and offered words of comfort: "Xuande, although you and Liu Zhang are of the same clan, look at the state of the world today. The Han dynasty is in decline, and the people are suffering unspeakably."

If you do not take Yizhou, it will surely fall into the hands of others one day. At that time, Liu Zhang will likely also be unable to protect it, and the people of Yizhou will be plunged into the suffering of war.

"Moreover, when you ascend the throne in the future, you can grant Liu Zhang a territory, so that you will not be criticized."

Upon hearing Qianhe's words, Liu Bei raised his head, his eyes filled with entanglement and struggle: "What you say is true, Daoist, but it is truly difficult for me to do something that is faithless and treacherous."

Liu Bei has always upheld benevolence and righteousness, and would never do such an unjust thing.

Qianhe shook his head slightly and said softly, "This is not an act of betrayal. After you take Yizhou, you can treat Liu Zhang and his clan well and ensure their wealth and well-being."

Moreover, you consider it your duty to restore the Han Dynasty. Only by occupying a stable territory like Yizhou can you have the strength to compete with other warlords for control of the Central Plains and save the people from their suffering.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Bei finally stood up slowly, his expression resolute, as if he had made up his mind: "Daoist, I understand. For the greater good, for the Han Dynasty, and for the common people, I can only put aside my personal feelings for the time being."

Qianhe nodded in satisfaction and praised, "That's excellent. Lord Xuande has the world in his heart; he will surely achieve a world-shaking feat in the future."

Liu Bei gazed at Yizhou on the map, his eyes growing increasingly determined, as if he already considered that land as his own.

.....................

Chizuru did this because she didn't want Cao Cao to seize the country and then lead to the chaos of the Five Barbarian Tribes.

Cao Cao's sons were mostly short-lived.

Furthermore, by the time of Wancheng, Cao Ang had already died, leaving no heir; what kind of people were left after him?

And this moment.

Liu Bei looked delighted.

"Having Master Qianhe is like a fish in water for me!"

Chizuru:............

I'm crazy.

If Zhuge Liang were here, he would definitely say, "My lord, have we lost our love?"

But then, something else occurred to Liu Bei.

"Master Qianhe, do you think we should go and seek refuge with Liu Biao now?"

"Us?" Chizuru paused, then pointed at him.

"Yes, I've been thinking of asking you to be my advisor, Daoist Qianhe. What do you think?"

Liu Bei then bowed again.

Qianhe shook her head: "I won't be your strategist anymore, but I'll help you make a comeback and be your support!"

"this......"

Hearing Qianhe's words, Liu Bei felt a little sad, but he still nodded.

"I need Xuande's help to rescue someone. If I succeed, I can return to my side and bring you two thousand fully armed elites, enough to sweep across the world!" Qianhe said with a smile.

Two thousand firearms against cold weapons is a complete dimensional reduction attack, especially when the weapons are fully armed.

He could even imagine Guan Yu holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade AK and shouting "Jiangdong rat!"

"Hmph, I never thought I, Guan, would be using my Azure Dragon AK to blow the heads off a bunch of rats!"
