After Pang Xi and Fa Zheng led the troops away, Liu Zhang sat in Hanzhong.

On the one hand, he transported food to Pang Xi and others, and on the other hand, he was also on guard that Guo Peng might attack Hanzhong at any time.

Suddenly, one day, Wang Shang came to see Liu Zhang.

"The king, judging from the current situation, his subordinates are very worried about the king."

"Worried about me? Are you saying that Guo Zifeng will take the opportunity to invade the south? ”

Because he was afraid of Guo Peng, Liu Zhang reflexively thought of Guo Peng, and thought that Wang Shang had gotten some news.

"No, the king has already guarded the road to Shu, even if Guo Zifeng is strong, he has to weigh the difficulty of Shu Road."

"And what are you talking about?"

Liu Zhang looked at Wang Shang strangely.

"The king, what the subordinates are talking about is Pang Xi, General Pang."

"Pang Xi?"

Liu Zhang's face sank: "The Northern Expedition to Liangzhou is my decision, it has been decided, the army has already set off, do you still want to oppose it?" ”

"King, my subordinates don't want to say anything about the Northern Expedition itself, my subordinates just want to talk about General Pang."

Wang Shang opened his mouth and said: "The king also knows that General Pang can use soldiers, fight, and achieve meritorious deeds, so does the king think that General Pang has a high prestige in the army, or does the king have a high prestige in the army?" ”

Liu Zhang pursed his lips.

"Naturally, General Pang's prestige is high."

"Then the king thinks that General Pang is good at using soldiers, or the king is good at using soldiers."

“…… General Pang is good at using soldiers. ”

Liu Zhang replied with some displeasure.

"The king, it's all here, the king is not worried, but his subordinates are worried about the king!"

Wang Shang's face was full of sighs: "King, General Pang not only has prestige, but also military power, the most elite army in Shu is controlled by General Pang, and General Pang himself has made so many contributions, he is already the most prestigious general in my country, if Liangzhou is also taken by General Pang, then how high is General Pang's prestige?" ”

When Wang Shang said this, Liu Zhang's originally unhappy face suddenly became stunned.

"This ......"

"Didn't the king think of it? Is General Pang really loyal to the king? ”

Wang Shang immediately added fuel and vinegar and fanned the flames: "The king can believe that General Pang has no second heart for the king, even after taking Liangzhou, he is still the king's general, and his subordinates can't believe it."

It is not a matter of a day or two for General Pang to support his troops and self-respect, after quelling Zhao Wei's rebellion before, what did General Pang do, did the king forget? How did he support his own troops and plunder the place, and how he caused the place to be uneasy, has the king forgotten? ”

Where will Liu Zhang forget?

The things that Pang Xi did that were not under his control at all made Liu Zhang's memory still fresh.

"General Pang is my father's old department, and he will not betray me......"

Liu Zhang said that he had no confidence.

"Isn't Zhao Wei the first master of the old department?"

Wang Shang lost Liu Zhang's confidence with a word.

Liu Zhang suddenly became a little flustered.

"Wang Qing, do you mean that after General Pang led his troops to conquer Liangzhou, he was going to betray me?"

"That's not true."

Wang Shang shook his head: "But the king, aren't you really worried?" If General Pang really takes Liangzhou, if there are still some villains around him who say something in General Pang's ear, once General Pang is tempted, then the 50,000 troops will not be able to be commanded by the king. ”

Liu Zhang's eyes widened and he gasped.

Makes sense.

Pang Xi is not a loyal minister, Liu Zhang still remembers the things he did after defeating Zhao Wei before.

He was proud of his achievements, did not listen to orders, and plundered the place, causing public resentment to boil and embarrassing Liu Zhang.

If such a person really won a big victory on the battlefield in Liangzhou, he wouldn't have to his tail to the sky?

If there is someone around him to persuade him to cut off Liangzhou and no longer obey Liu Zhang's orders, he will even lead the army to fight back.

With Pang Xi's familiarity with this journey and the control of the 50,000 Shu army, can this battle still be fought?

Pang Xi's family has always been with Pang Xi's side, originally Liu Yan was by Liu Yan's side when he was still alive, but Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent, after pacifying the battle of Zhao Wei, Pang Xi's family was taken away by Pang Xi, and Pang Xi's two sons still fought with Pang Xi.

At present, Pang Xi does have a family in Hanzhong, but the two most important sons are by his side, if Pang Xi is out of control and wants to stand on his own, Liu Zhang has no way to control him.

In this case, it is simply dangerous!

After Wang Shang's persuasion, Liu Zhang suddenly found that the situation he was in was not as good as he imagined, and the situation he was in was completely on the eve of a big change!

Oh, my God......

What can I do?

Liu Zhang suddenly returned to his original appearance of six gods and no master, and the little ambition that he had finally generated disappeared without a trace.

"Wang Qing, Wang Qing, lonely ...... How should loneliness be? ”

Liu Zhang habitually asks the people around him.

Wang Shang's psychology was suddenly filled with satisfaction.

"The king, this matter is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is simple, the king should know, now is the best time, the king can do something in the transportation of grain, slow down some grain transportation, so that Pang Xi is short of food, so, forcing him to withdraw from the army."

Wang Shang said his own way.

Liu Zhang suddenly had some doubts and worries.

"This ...... Can a man who is a ruler do the same to his courtiers? Isn't this a self-severing arm? ”

"The king is confused, the king regards Pang Xi as his courtier, does Pang Xi regard himself as the king's courtier? Once things change, will Pang Xi still be the king's courtier? He has a heavy army in his hand, and once he rebels, what does the king want? ”

Wang Shang looked at Liu Zhang with a distressed look.

Liu Zhang suddenly realized, and immediately realized that letting Pang Xi continue to make military exploits was a harmful and not beneficial behavior for himself.

Don't say that this is beneficial to Shu.

If the king of Shu is no longer Liu Zhang, no matter how good Shu is, it will be useful for Liu Zhang?

The most important thing is always the position of the number one, and everything else can be put later.

Including the situation on the battlefield and the lives of the soldiers.

"King, take Hanzhong, Shu already has a reliable barrier, Hanzhong is difficult and dangerous, who wants to come in and not take off the skin? Whoever comes in must weigh whether they can do it, now for us, the external enemy is not terrible, it is terrible, it is the internal trouble! ”

Wang Shang added.

Liu Zhang swallowed his saliva and looked at Wang Shang with a nervous expression.

"Wang Qing, if you really do this, if General Pang comes back and blames Gu ...... This...... How's that good? ”

Wang Shang suddenly looked at Liu Zhang with strange eyes.

"Great King, are you the Great King, or are Pang Xi the Great King?"

Wang Shang's words suddenly said that Liu Zhang was speechless.

That's right, I'm the king, I'm the master, Pang Xi is my subordinate, why should I be afraid of him?

Liu Zhang thought about it, and suddenly became angry.

I'm actually afraid of Pang Xi?

This......

This......

Damn it!

Liu Zhang felt unpleasant and ashamed of his fearful feelings.

He was angry.

Wang Shang keenly captured Liu Zhang's expression and figured out Liu Zhang's thoughts at the moment.

Then continue to add oil and vinegar.

"The king, in fact, forcing Pang Xi to withdraw from the army is not the most important, the most important thing is to ensure that the army is in the hands of the king, not in the hands of Pang Xi, the king needs to choose reliable manpower and slowly weaken Pang Xi's military power."

Liu Zhang frowned.

"You have a point......

Liu Zhang remembered his uneasy mood after Pang Xi defeated Zhao Wei before.

Pang Xi's power is indeed a little too big.
