Chapter 978: Turning Enemies into Friends

Although this time, with Ma Chao's method, the grain and grass crisis in Hanzhong can be solved for the time being.

Liu Bei's face looked a little better, but, in the final analysis, the emergence of the food crisis was due to Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses eyeing the Hanzhong region and affecting Guan Yu's horses.

Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are not worried, but Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses are now more and more jealous of Liu Bei.

"Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng, even if Liu Zheng is not here, just these horses under his command are enough to put us in trouble, Hanzhong must not lose, and Hanzhong must be defeated!"

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, and he began to think about how to solve Liu Zheng's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this Hanzhong.

"Lord, are you worried about Huang Zhong and Gan Ning?"

"Well, it's true, on the side of the couch, how can there be others sleeping peacefully, with them, our affairs in Hanzhong will be controlled by others everywhere, and the constraints are too strong, otherwise this little Nan Zheng would have been beaten down by my second brother a long time ago."

Liu Bei said hatefully.

If it weren't for the tens of thousands of troops of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning stationed in Xicheng, not far from Nanzheng, and always staring at Nanzheng's side, Guan Yu's tens of thousands of troops would only need a few days to break through the gate of Nanzheng City.

Why wait until now, I have been in a stalemate with Nan Zhengcheng, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others.

"Actually, my lord, in my opinion, compared to Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, if you compare with Liu Zheng, you don't have to be afraid."

"Liu Zheng is our henchman, and we are at war with Liu Zhang, a lose-lose situation, and finally let Liu Zheng pick up the advantage in vain, so why can't we unite with Liu Zhang, cooperate to deal with Liu Zheng, with the soldiers and horses we see now, Liu Zhang's men still have a lot of men, if Liu Zhang is willing to fight with us, not to mention directly defeating Liu Zheng, at least in the Hanzhong region, take some advantages."

"Unite with Liu Zhang and repel Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, you can break Liu Zheng's arm, without Huang Zhong and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, Liu Zheng will inevitably suffer a heavy setback, and when the time comes, our army will have enough ability to counterattack Liu Zheng."

After all, Jian Yong still had a bit of strategy, and when he said what he thought in his heart to Liu Bei at this time, he immediately got Liu Bei's response.

"Xianhe! These words are exactly what I want! ”

"Originally, we came to Hanzhong to solve Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, in fact, there are many ways to solve them, and cooperating with them to unite them to fight against Liu Zheng is also one of them!"

"After all, no matter what, compared to Liu Zheng, Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others are really insignificant, and our enemy will always be only one Liu Zheng!"

Liu Bei is a big husband who can bend and stretch.

Originally, he led his soldiers and horses to Hanzhong, the purpose was actually to exterminate Liu Yan, the emperor who occupied Yizhou.

But now after encountering Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses in trouble, Liu Bei simply thought about turning enemies into friends and uniting Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu to deal with Liu Zheng.

Even if Jian Yong didn't mention it this time, Liu Bei didn't want to continue to confront Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in Nanzheng City.

"Second brother, help me arrange it immediately, I want to meet Liu Zhang in Nanzheng City!"

Although Guan Yu's army and Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses confronted each other, the two sides did not fight these days.

However, the situation is still very tense, and it is not so easy to meet each other.

But Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei seemed to want peace talks, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Guan Yu only needed to send someone to the city, and then use the arrow to tie the envelope to the arrow and shoot it at the city tower.

Let Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city understand what Guan Yu means, and they can discuss how to meet.

Of course, as for Liu Zhang in the city, whether Zhang Lu and the others really have the courage to meet Liu Bei.

That's a different story.

Guan Yu went down and ordered his men and horses to shoot arrows at the castle tower.

South Zheng Chengzhong.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are not doing well these days.

has been besieged in this Nanzheng City, and it has become impossible to go out for a walk.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city eat, drink, and Lazar, making the city a miasma.

The most embarrassing thing is that the only water source is blocked by Guan Yu's people.

The water they usually drink comes from wells.

But lately, I've been drinking less and less.

According to Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu's speculation, if there are no reinforcements in the next ten days.

They were afraid that they would not be able to hold on, so they could only go out of the city and fight to the death with Guan Yu outside the city.

Until the last resort, Liu Zhang was actually unwilling to go out of the city to fight Guan Yu to the death, after all, he was not sure that he could defeat Guan Yu.

After seeing the strength of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, Liu Zhang was originally very confident, but now he has begun to be a little timid, coupled with the lack of troops, Guan Yu has only a dead end if he goes out of the city to fight to the death.

After a morning of drunken dreams, Liu Zhang was about to go to Zhang Lu.

But at this time, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.

Zhang Lu walked in with Yan Pu and a few others with a dull face.

As soon as Liu Zhang saw Zhang Lu, he immediately asked Zhang Lu.

"Why are you here?"

"Did something happen?"

Before Zhang Lu could speak, he heard Liu Zhang's inquiry.

I didn't dare to hide it, so I just nodded.

"Childe, something big has indeed happened!"

"What can I do for you to come to me? Could it be that Guan Yu's soldiers and horses have hit? ”

"It's not really, it's just that our guard just now received an arrow from under the castle tower, and a letter was tied to the arrow!"

Zhang Lu said that, and handed over the letter in his hand and handed it to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang became curious all of a sudden, and after frowning, he took the letter from Zhang Lu's hand.

At this glance, I saw that the envelope was written about the peace talks.

This time, Liu Zhang's brows tightened, and he wrinkled even deeper.

Now it is clear that Guan Yu's army occupies an absolute advantage, and it stands to reason that Guan Yu cannot negotiate peace, they only need to continue to hold out for a period of time, and they can force Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city to take the initiative to leave the city.

But now that he saw the letter from the peace talks, Liu Zhang immediately thought it was fake.

"Impossible, our army is not the opponent of Guan Yu's army at all, why does the other party have an absolute advantage in making peace with us, there must be fraud in this!"

Liu Zhang immediately responded to Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and others.

It's just that Yan Pu immediately continued after Liu Zhang's words.

"Childe, I also thought that there must be fraud in this at first, but if I think about it carefully, the other party's letter said that he took the initiative to enter the city to negotiate peace with us, and there is no reason to take such a big risk to come to our army's peace talks, I think I might as well accept their request to talk about it, and let's talk."
