"Let's not mention that Liu Bei, as a general, dared to go to our Nanzheng City alone, which is extremely risky in itself, if he didn't really come to ask for cooperation, he would definitely not do such a thing."

Yan Pu's words made Liu Zhang and the others present nod their heads.

"Since Liu Bei himself has personally come to our Nanzheng City, it also shows that he sincerely came to seek cooperation, after all, the Liu Zheng he said, in recent years, is indeed a big trouble for the imperial court, if Liu Zheng is not eliminated, the imperial court will never have peace, this world, has never been able to be completely in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court will not be willing to do so anyway."

"And we, as people living in a remote corner, are a thorn in the side of the court, whether it is for the court or for Liu Zheng. Rather than being co-opted or being co-opted, it is better to take advantage of the situation and cooperate with one side against the other, and maybe you can get some benefits from it. ”

Yan Pu had the ability to be a strategist, and he knew very well that now Liu Yan could no longer be alone.

A few years ago, when the world was in turmoil, Liu Yan was still able to live in a corner and be his own soil emperor in Yizhou, after all, no one could control him, and everyone had more important things to do.

Let Liu Yan fend for himself in Yizhou, as long as it doesn't hinder them.

But that's no longer the case.

Liu Zheng and Liu Bei have already dealt with their own affairs, and the world has only just changed from being divided into two powerhouses.

The outcome of the two-strong battle is that both of them must master as many resources as possible and get a greater chance of winning.

So Liu Yan, who was originally caught in the middle and could be in peace, became the target that Liu Bei and Liu Zheng both needed to fight for.

Even if Liu Zhang can avoid the attack of Liu Bei and Liu Zheng this time, then next time, next time, they can't be safe all the time, and they will always be attacked by Liu Zheng and Liu Bei.

Therefore, instead of passively waiting for the attack, it is better to actively choose one of the sides, and then participate in it and take the initiative to break the game.

This is the advice that Yan Pu can bring to Liu Zhang.

"Does Mr. Yan Pu also mean to cooperate with Liu Bei and deal with that Liu Zheng together?"

After listening to Yan Pu's words, Liu Zhang already understood what Yan Pu was going to say.

"Actually, the best object of cooperation should be Liu Zhengcai."

"That Liu Zheng has been in the limelight recently, and has occupied five states and counties, counting Jizhou and Youzhou, which is about to be acquired, Liu Zheng's territory has already obtained most of the world, the rich land of the Central Plains, the land of horse breeding in the north, and the land of fish and rice in the south, all of which are in his hands, and if you cooperate with Liu Zheng, it will be easier to deal with Liu Bei."

"Of course, Liu Zheng doesn't seem to have sent people to cooperate with us, so even if we want to cooperate, we can't contact him, plus he attacked Shangyong before, and he has already torn his face with us, so we can only choose to cooperate with Liu Bei in the end."

Yan Pu was more optimistic about Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng had no chance, so he could only retreat and choose Liu Bei.

Anyway, with Liu Bei's joining, Liu Zhang's troops and Liu Bei's troops, not to mention being able to directly destroy Liu Zheng, at least, in the Hanzhong region, they have an absolute advantage.

"Based on everyone's opinions, it seems that we can only choose to cooperate with Liu Bei!"

Except for Zhang Lu, who was opposed, everyone else agreed with Liu Bei's cooperation.

After all, as long as they cooperated with Liu Bei, they would be able to solve the siege crisis in front of them immediately. At the same time, he was also able to use Liu Bei's troops to deal with Liu Zheng, and recaptured the three cities of Shangyong occupied by Liu Zheng.

In any case, cooperation is much better than rejecting Liu Bei's proposal.

After synthesizing everyone's opinions, Liu Zhang made another promise, and seemed to be making a decision in his heart.

After a while, he finally made up his mind to walk out of this back hall.

Returned to the main hall again.

Liu Bei, with Jian Yong and others, was still waiting in front of this banquet.

Seeing Liu Zhang and the others returning to this banquet, Liu Bei knew that they should have discussed a result.

Without waiting for Liu Zhang to open his mouth to answer Liu Bei, Liu Bei took the initiative to ask Liu Zhang after seeing him.

"Brother Xian, how are you discussing?"

At this time, Liu Bei was very calm, because from the moment he saw Liu Zhang, from the expressions of Liu Zhang and the others, Liu Bei had already concluded that Liu Zhang should agree to his request.

After all, if this kind of beneficial and harmless thing is put on him, Liu Bei will definitely agree.

Sure enough, after Liu Bei asked, Liu Zhang answered directly at Liu Bei.

"Brother Xuande's matter is beneficial to both of us, I naturally won't refuse, but Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses are strong and experienced in a hundred battles, and it is not so easy to deal with, Brother Xuande has a plan?"

At this point, Liu Zhang is no longer limited to talking to Liu Bei about whether to cooperate, he cares more about how to cooperate with Liu Bei to deal with Liu Zheng.

Regarding this, Liu Bei does not need to open his mouth to describe it to Liu Zhang.

Jian Yong, who was standing beside Liu Bei, played his due role, and when Liu Zhang asked, he immediately opened his mouth to answer Liu Zhang.

"Young Master Liu Zhang, regarding this matter, my lord and general have already had a countermeasure."

Jian Yong began to talk to Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others about how to deal with Liu Zheng's soldiers this time.

After telling Liu Zhang and the others about the plan they discussed before, he told them one by one.

This Liu Zhang also had a contemplative look on his face.

In the end, he agreed to join forces with Liu Bei to deal with Huang Zhongzhen's soldiers and horses guarding Shangyong.

Liu Zhang and Liu Bei finally reached a cooperation, and the two sides abandoned their previous suspicions and fought against Liu Zheng together.

At this time, Liu Zheng didn't know that Liu Bei had joined forces with Liu Zhang.

He also took Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses in Xicheng County, and was complacent because he cut off Liu Bei's grain route, and felt that the victory was in hand.

Because the grain road was robbed, Liu Zheng was afraid that Guan Yu would give up attacking Nanzheng City, so he instead transferred all his troops to the front line of the Meridian Valley to recapture the grain road.

Therefore, Liu Zheng transferred a large number of troops to the front line of the Meridian Valley, intending to garrison the Meridian Valley and fight with Guan Yu's soldiers and horses in the Meridian Valley.

Except for the 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Gan Ning not far from Nanzheng City, almost all of the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses Liu Zheng were transferred to the Meridian Valley, and sent a large number of scouts, and once Guan Yu's army had a stir, he immediately arranged defensive measures.

After instructing these matters, Liu Zheng also felt that the situation in Hanzhong would change, and secretly sent soldiers and horses to Sun Jian, who was stationed near Jingzhou, to send troops and horses to support Hanzhong.
