Three Kingdoms

Liu Bei showed high military literacy and combat ability. Although it was only Guan Yu who took action, and although it was just a copycat, he was still able to catch a glimpse of the leopard and see something. Therefore, both Wu Ban and Meng Da became closer to Liu Bei. He also began to prepare some military supplies, and also gave Liu Zhang a seal in Chengdu, and praised Liu Bei highly.

Liu Zhang was naturally overjoyed. Not only did he send Dong and relatives to express condolences, he also immediately wanted Liu Bei to take his troops to Guanghan, but Liu Bei declined on the grounds that his troops were exhausted and Liu Qi was still in the rear, so it was temporarily inconvenient to leave.

Liu Bei was unwilling to move, and Dong He, as the envoy, was naturally not satisfied. However, there was no good way, so he had to go back and resume his duties.

When Liu Zhang heard that Liu Bei was not willing to go to Guanghan immediately, and also heard that Liu Bei and others' troops were only less than 10,000, he was immediately deeply disappointed and his attitude became a little colder. Then he kept sending people to urge Liu Bei to go to Guanghan. He gets tougher every day.

Of course, if Pang Xi was in Chengdu, he might not let Liu Zhang do such a thing, but Pang Xi needs to arrange defenses on the front line and cannot leave easily, and Liu Zhang's personality...

Therefore, when Liu Qi finally arrived, he was very satisfied with Liu Bei's attitude that he had to come before he could make a decision. Of course, he was also very disgusted with Liu Zhang's repeated urging and became furious, even threatening to withdraw his troops. Jingzhou!

Liu Qi said angrily: "We came here because the two families are friendly and want to help here. We never thought that we would encounter such a rude thing! It's better to go back! Let them fight among themselves!"

Liu Bei quickly persuaded: "Young master, please calm down... We came here and we didn't even have a fight. If we said we would retreat first, it would be untrue. We would be saying that we are timid and avoid fighting. How can we convince others? Today we are increasingly in the state." Mu’s repeated urgings must be due to the urgent situation on the front line and the anxiety and anger..."

"Why is your heart anxious and angry?" Liu Qi heard Liu Bei's persuasion. Not only did he not calm down his anger, but he became even more angry. "If he is anxious, he wants us to calm him down? If he is angry, he just breathes and drinks? How can there be such truth! "

"Young Master...Young Master, please calm down..." Liu Bei urged again, "It's not difficult to retreat, but I might not be able to explain to Liu Jingzhou..."

"This..." Although Liu Qi said that he was not afraid of his father Liu Biao at all, if something really happened, he would still have the instinctive reaction of a mouse seeing a cat.

Liu Bei saw this in his eyes and said: "It's not as good as a letter from a certain person, Chen Ming is powerful... If Yizhou Mu allocates troops, food and men, we will help him fight. If he refuses, it means he has no intention to cooperate." If we retreat again, it will not violate morality..."

Liu Qi thought for a while and agreed.

The ball returned to Liu Zhang's feet. Liu Zhang had no choice but to summon his ministers for discussion. Dong He, the prefect of Chengdu, said: "Jingzhou has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is unknown whether he can conquer the west. If we give money and food to the soldiers, if we can't win, what can we do?"

Fei Shi said: "Now that Jingzhou has led troops, it is in line with Pang Gong's strength. It is reasonable to ask for military rations. We might as well mobilize them and encourage them to send troops. If Guanghan is defeated, the Western troops will retreat. Don’t lose the big for the small.”

Dong He was originally from Nanjun, and he was also an outsider under Liu Yan. He was also favored by Liu Yan and appointed him as the prefect of Chengdu. After meeting Liu Bei as an envoy last time, Dong He felt that Liu Bei was not a simple person. , and Wu Ban was also in Badong, so he was quite worried in his heart. He glanced at Fei Shi, and then said to Liu Zhang: "This matter is not a trivial matter. Today, Mr. Liu is the guest, and we are the host. Mr. Liu When the army is weak, we can defend it only if we have a large number of soldiers. If we deliver money and food for Chengdu soldiers, horses and horses to the Liu family, where will our own safety be put? Why don't we ask Pang Gong to transfer it and discuss it later."

Fei Shi retorted: "Pang Gong is in the front supervising the formation. Don't turn back lightly. If you make a mistake, wouldn't you be dissatisfied with losing the game? Now the Liu family has few soldiers, but they are all capable of fighting. If you ask for military rations, you are interested in fighting! If it were me If he hesitates and fears that his heart will be chilled, when the Jingzhou army retreats, we will be unable to support it... How about making good friends with the Liu family with words, and building a strong internal knot that will benefit the generals, and then divide them into enemies. In this way, we can conquer the Western troops. After defeat, there is nothing to worry about.”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he thought, oh, can you still do this? It seems to be quite good, but what conditions should be given to Liu Bei? Who knows what Liu Bei’s hobbies are? Do you like beautiful women or gold and silver jewelry?

No one could answer this question, but Fei Shigong handed over his hand and volunteered to go to Badong to find out, "...if the Liu family can be made to lead troops north, Sichuan and Shu will be safe...Liu Xuande lives in Xinye, under his jurisdiction It's only a few miles away, if we can allow him to defeat and replace him, that might be feasible..."

Fei Shi's meaning is also very simple. After all, at this point, beautiful women and money are not something that you can actually get. If you are powerful, what kind of beauty and money do you want? So it's better to just give something practical, such as Bajun. Liu Bei was originally a guest general from Xinye. If the conditions we offered were better than those offered by Liu Biao, we would naturally be able to attract Liu Bei. But after Liu Bei became ours, Liu Qi was powerless even if he wanted to do something.

When Liu Zhang heard this, he was naturally overjoyed. He immediately asked Dong He to prepare some money and food for the soldiers and distribute them to Liu Bei, and asked Fei Shi to take him to Badong...

Liu Zhang's subordinates are not all bad guys with scheming intentions, but they basically like to play cards. If you get a bad hand, should you bite the bullet and continue playing, or should you find a reason to leave the game and stop playing?

No matter which one it is, it is not a good choice for these Sichuan people who like mahjong.

Liu Bei's current reputation is naturally not as strong as it was in history. Fei Shi, Wu Ban and others are grabbing Liu Bei. On the one hand, they hope to use Liu Bei's strength to resist the invasion of the west. On the other hand, they also hope that through such With one act, the cards in Sichuan and Sichuan were reshuffled.

If Liu Bei can really be allowed to drive away Zhao Wei, then supporting Liu Bei to become the governor of Ba County will naturally involve a lot of changes. In Sichuan and Shu, it will naturally be possible to bring Yizhou, which has been suppressed for a long time, to People, as well as those who were previously at the lower level of Dongzhou, all came back to the table!

As for Liu Zhang's repeated emphasis on allocating money, food, and soldiers from Chengdu, both Fei Shi, Wu Ban, and even Liu Bei knew that these money, food, and soldiers were Liu Zhang's biggest support after Liu Yan's death, and they were also the basis for Pang Xi's rampage in recent years. The foundation of the Sichuan-Sichuan political arena is to break the original situation and re-cleanse the cards. Naturally, the strength of Liu Zhang and Pang Xi must be weakened.

As for whether Liu Bei will replace him and become the master of Sichuan and Shu, in fact, at this moment, both Wu Ban and Fei Shi think it is unlikely...

Naturally, Liu Bei swallowed up all the benefits offered by Liu Zhang without hesitation, and the number of troops under his direct administration suddenly doubled. While letting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei prepare first, some of them started to march towards Brazil. At the same time, he took Chen Dao with him to Badong County. Crazy military training made both Liu Zhang and Liu Qi feel that Liu Bei was very reliable and a down-to-earth person.

The news that Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others entered Sichuan soon reached Brazil. Xu Shu, who had captured Langzhong, also arrived in Guanghan and met Zhao Wei. After hearing the news, he couldn't help but frown.

After all, Fei Qian and Xu Shu are both half-Jingxiang people. Now Liu Qi is taking Liu Bei from Badong to Sichuan to grab meat to eat. It is not impossible to fight, but the problem is what to do if it affects Jingxiang side? After all, whether it was Fei Qian, Pang Tong, or Xu Shu, even many soldiers and generals under his command had Jingxiang people, so they stopped for a while and did not start the battle immediately. While reorganizing the army, they hurriedly reviewed the situation. pass.

When Fei Qian received the urgent military report from Xu Shu, he was also surprised. He did not expect that Liu Bei would appear at this juncture...

Perhaps because many things have been changed, Fei Qian always thought that there was nothing going on in Sichuan and Shu without Liu Bei, and his main attention was on Shandong. He stared at the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. They started to turn against each other and were ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, but in the end, Sichuan and Sichuan turned out to be such a trap.

"Shiyuan, what do you think about this matter?" Fei Qian called Pang Tong and told him the matter.

Pang Tong frowned, was silent for a moment, and sighed: "This Liu Jingsheng, is he ready to take action..."

Fei Qian raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it like this? Isn't he afraid that Jingzhou will split and not benefit from it, but attract Cao Pingdong instead?"

Pang Tong smiled bitterly and said: "So this old guy chose Sichuan!"

Fei Qian was stunned at first, and then quickly understood. "It seems that the only thing left to do is to do the last one..."

Pang Tong nodded, shook his head, and said: "Jingzhou...Oh, I didn't expect this day to come so quickly..."

Regardless of whether Fei Qian beat Liu Qi or Liu Bei, Liu Biao's actions showed that Liu Biao had already made up his mind. The reason why he did not take action directly in Jingzhou was basically because of Cao Cao.

After all, if Sichuan and Shu are defeated, they belong to Sichuan and Shu after all. If internal fighting breaks out in Jingzhou, it will not only cause huge losses to itself, but it may also attract Cao Cao's prying eyes.

If Cao Cao had not shown such strong fighting power in Shouchun before, but let Liu Biao finally appear and defeated Yuan Shu, then Liu Biao, who had received Yuan Shu's financial supplement, and the momentum from the victory, maybe Liu Biao would It is possible to give an ultimatum to Pang and Huang, who have been drifting away all this time, and start a fight without saying a word...

However, in this matter, Cao Cao unintentionally helped Fei Qian.

If there really is a fierce fight in Jingzhou, who knows if Cao Cao will take advantage of it and take advantage of it? Liu Biao felt that there was a hungry tiger lying next to him, so his attention was naturally focused on Cao Cao. As for Zhengxi, who was farther away, it seemed that he was not as threatening as before.

Therefore, sending troops to Sichuan and Shu became a test that Liu Biao made after careful consideration. After all, this opportunity was rare. If Zhengxi Feiqian was defeated in Sichuan and Shu, then naturally he could not only take the opportunity to annex Sichuan Shu will also follow suit and deal with the Pang family and the Huang family in Jingzhou...

If it fails, it doesn't matter. The main strength is not much lost. In addition, Liu Zhang is used as a shield and reason, so it will not cause too much embarrassment on the scene.

However, in history, Liu Bei entered Sichuan much later. Now Liu Bei actually got the opportunity to enter Sichuan so many years in advance. Although Liu Bei is still Liu Biao's guest general, his strength is not too strong, but according to Liu Bei's urinary nature, which is a unique attribute that makes the sun shine, may become stronger in the blink of an eye, and he has the support of Liu Zhang. If a fight breaks out, it will be really troublesome!

And the most important thing is that if the target is only Liu Zhang, then it may not take too much effort to win over Sichuan and Shu. Now with the three Liu Bei brothers, if the war drags on for many years, Sichuan and Shu will eventually be destroyed. For It’s no good at all for Fei Qian!

Not fighting, no.

But playing for too long won’t work either. After all, if Liu Bei is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Sichuan and Sichuan like in history, then a big explosive bomb will be planted behind Feiqian, and Liu Bei may come to Dingjun Mountain at some time.

But the problem is that it is quite difficult to win quickly...

Fei Qian frowned and thought deeply, while Pang Tong also remained silent. Both of them thought about this problem one after another, and this kind of problem has always been the most difficult. It is not difficult to fight, and it should not be difficult to win, but it is difficult to win quickly. If you are not careful, you may encounter another problem. It was a huge setback and had a huge impact, so it had to be considered carefully.

"Liu Xuande..." Fei Qian was silent for a while and then said, "He is such a heroic figure. If we take him lightly and let him take over Sichuan and Shu... I'm afraid it will be a disaster sooner or later..."

"Liu Xuande?" Pang Tong raised his eyebrows.

Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong and reacted. After all, Liu Bei still didn't have much fame at this time. Many things ended before they started. It was a normal reaction for Pang Tong not to have much impression, but it didn't mean that Fei Qian could take it lightly. , "Let's do this... a certain person has arranged for Xu Gongming and Zhang Wenyuan to come to Guanzhong and go with a certain person..."

Pang Tong looked at Fei Qian's injured arm and said, "My lord, you haven't recovered yet... Why don't you go to Sichuan..."

"You?" Fei Qian looked at Pang Tong, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There are quite a lot of things going on in Guanzhong, whether it's Zijing's side or Zijian's side, they've all just begun... or You are in Guanzhong, with Gongming and Wenyuan marching together, plus Yuan Zhi and Shuye, even if you lose, you will not be defeated..." There are indeed many things going on in Guanzhong, and this is true, but Fei Qian is more worried about Pang Tong. This little fat bird really encountered Luofeng Slope again, so he might as well go there by himself.

What's more, Fei Qian also wants to meet Liu Guanzhang, who has been rumored for thousands of years!
