    Such a loss made Liu Bei heartbroken. In the end, he couldn't help it and blamed Zhuge Liang in public.

    Since Zhuge Liang came out to follow Liu Bei, he has always made plans and predicted events like a god.

    This made Zhuge Liang develop a arrogant character in his heart, and he felt that his calculations were all right.  What happened last time was a setback for Zhuge Liang.

    Zhuge Liang was depressed for a while, and his unhappiness has not gone away to this day.  Because the more proud and confident a person is, the harder it is to accept setbacks. Zhuge Liang is such a person.

    "There is no need to worry, military advisor, this will definitely be good news." Sun Qian also said.

    "Ha ha"

    Liu Bei laughed. The reason why he didn't open it immediately after receiving the letter was that he thought it was good news, so he wanted to share it with his men.

    "Kong Ming, you are still too cautious." Liu Bei smiled and shook his head, then opened the letter and read it slowly.

    But looking at it, the smile on Liu Bei's face disappeared, replaced by a serious expression, and even an angry expression.

    Seeing Liu Bei¡¯s expression, those who just said it was good news shrank their necks, knowing that they had guessed wrong.

    "Damn it!"

    After reading it, Liu Bei couldn't help but cursed.

    "My Lord, what did Uncle Ji say in the letter?"

    Seeing Liu Bei like this, no one dared to speak out, so Zhuge Liang was bolder and asked.

    "Just take a look." Liu Bei said angrily, he didn't want to say more.

    After Zhuge Liang took it and read it, he passed the letter to others to read.

    So after everyone read it, they understood why Liu Bei's face changed.

    It turns out that Liu Bei has not been crowned king yet, and if he wants to be crowned king, he will have to pay a huge price.  Cao Cao's request was indeed a huge price for Liu Bei.

    "Lord, what do you mean?" Zhuge Liang was silent for a while before asking.

    "Damn it!"

    Liu Bei gritted his teeth. He did not answer directly, but asked Zhuge Liang: "What do you think?"

    Although he did not answer, he actually already had an idea in his mind, but he still wanted to hear the opinions of his subordinates.

    "What do you think?" Liu Bei asked the others.

    "My lord, I cannot agree."

    Zhu Huan jumped out and said angrily: "Cao Cao is taking advantage of the situation, my lord, ignore him at all."

    Ignore it?

    Many people here shook their heads inwardly. If they didn¡¯t agree, it would be impossible for Cao Cao to support Liu Bei¡¯s title of king.

    Liu Bei simply ignored the words of his confidant. He looked around, waiting for other people's opinions.

    But no one spoke up. In their opinion, Cao Cao's request was too much.  Liu Bei agreed without any shame.  No one dared to agree, lest Liu Bei would cause trouble for them if he remembered what happened a few days later.

    Many people¡¯s eyes are looking at Zhuge Liang, and everyone hopes that Zhuge Liang will speak out.  Zhuge Liang's ability has convinced everyone, and everyone thinks Zhuge Liang has a way.

    "Kong Ming, please tell me."

    Seeing that everyone was silent and focused on Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei also simply followed the public opinion and named Zhuge Liang and asked him to express his opinion.

    "My lord, please allow me to ask a question." Zhuge Liang said.

    "But it doesn't matter."

    "What is the most important thing for the Lord to do next?" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask.

    "Kingdom?" Liu Bei asked.

    "No, but" Zhuge Liang pointed to the west.

    "Yizhou!" Liu Bei understood immediately.

    "That's right."

    Zhuge Liang spoke up and said: "The next thing my lord has to do is to capture Yizhou. The purpose of making the king is to capture Yizhou."

    "Bei knows this, but what does it have to do with Cao Cao's request?" Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.

    "If my lord's power is still in the Xinye area, do you think Cao Cao will be wary of my lord?"

    Zhuge Liang spoke up, but he continued without waiting for Liu Bei's answer: "If the lord withdraws from the Xinye area and shrinks his power to the south of the Han River, Cao Cao will be less vigilant about the lord."

    "you mean"

    Liu Bei understood, and everyone present also understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

     "That's right."

    Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Hand over Xinye and other places, retract the power to the south of the Han River, show weakness to Cao Cao, dispel Cao Cao's vigilance, and then concentrate on seizing Yizhou." His subordinates believed that Ji Bo had this idea as well.  Hui Hui agreed to hand over the land north of the Han River to Cao Cao without consulting the lord."

    "My lord, compared to Yizhou, the loss of a dozen cities and tens of thousands of people is worth it."

    Zhuge Liang continued: "Being crowned king can further enhance the lord's prestige and make his soldiers more loyal."

    "My lord, what the military advisor said is true."

    Jian Yong spoke up, and others also spoke up, saying that Zhuge Liang was right.

    Liu Bei fell silent and did not speak.  He had actually planned to give up on Xinye's methods just now, but he was just a little unwilling to do so.

    However, after Zhuge Liang¡¯s analysis, his unwillingness disappeared.

    He nodded, and then he asked another question: "What if Cao Cao takes advantage of Bei to send troops to Yizhou, and he attacks me from behind Bei?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
