In the sixteenth year of Jian'an, for Liu Bei, he was not angry, although he entered Yizhou, but he only expanded his influence in the area of Jiameng Pass, and Liu Bei's power did not grow much, but with Liu Yi's large-scale construction in the area of Jiamengguan, it not only strengthened Jiamengguan, but also made the surrounding villages and cities rich.

Liu Zhang not only did not get angry, but also wrote to him, thanking Liu Bei for his help, and sent tens of millions of coins, hoping that Liu Bei could continue to consolidate the defense around Jiameng Pass, which is logically a good thing, but Liu Bei and others were not happy.

"Shi Yuan, what do you say Liu Zhang is thinking in his head?" Liu Bei took the double chopstick, turned the meat in the kettle, and frowned: "Normal people should have noticed that something was wrong when they encountered this, right?" ”

"This person is weak in nature...... Pang Tong sighed and threw a piece of wood into the brazier: "Bo Yuan can also be understood as having the capacity to tolerate people. ”

"Hey~ A bad person, if he is a good official in the world, if he is an official of one party, it is not bad, but he is a monarch of one party, but he is ...... for a monarch" Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and did not speak again.

Liu Zhang was born in the wrong era, he is a good person, and under his governance in Shuzhong, the country is rich and the people are rich, but this kind of character, after all, is just a wedding dress for others.

"How are you going to spend the tens of millions of dollars?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi curiously, they were worried about money before, but now, Liu Zhang was very generous and sent 10 million money at once, it is not enough to build a city, but to do something else, it is obviously enough, and now Jia Meng Pass has been completely renovated by Liu Yi, not only living comfortably, but also the military spirit and morale have also been raised, since there is no war for the time being, then continue to develop, so that it can also gather a large number of people's hearts.

"What else can you do to make some armor and weapons for the soldiers?" Liu Yi grabbed a piece of meat and threw it into his bowl, chewing it while thinking about it, in the face of this kind of opponent, Liu Yi had a feeling of not being able to bear to bully, and a sense of guilt for bullying honest people.

"Oh, by the way, you bring this." Liu Yi thought of something, took out a jade carving from his arms, and threw it to Pang Tongdao.

"What is this?" Pang Tong looked at the jade carving in his hand blankly, the whole body was snow-white, with wings on his back, resembling a sheep rather than a sheep, and there was no such divine beast in the Book of Mountains and Seas?

"Bai Ze, who can spit out people's words, all night long in the world, can help people turn evil into good fortune, and is an auspicious beast." Liu Yi didn't explain, there was really no such thing in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, he knew it in his previous life, and as for the origin, Liu Yi didn't know either, so he didn't explain it.

"Why did you give me this?" Pang Tongyi hung the jade pendant on his waist and looked at Liu Yi suspiciously.

"You will have a bloody disaster in the future, I hope this thing can save your life." Liu Yi didn't bother to explain, and said directly.

"Ridiculous!" Pang Tong snorted coldly, and tied the rope tied to the jade carving a little more uneasily.

Liu Bei took a sip of soup and tightened the robe on his body, but he didn't have any envy for this, after all, he had a lot of carvings from Liu Yi.

"If we continue like this, if we don't wait for us to capture Yizhou, then after Cao Cao recovers Guanzhong, I'm afraid he will come to fight Hanzhong." Pang Tong closed his eyes and said, for you bullying him like this, he still thinks that you are an honest person who is a good person, Pang Tong is also a little helpless, he knew that this was the case, when he was in Fu County, he should ignore Liu Bei's opposition and ask someone to give the result to Liu Zhang.

"Not so fast, right?" Liu Yi was also a little entangled when he heard this, in history, Cao Cao was indeed during the period when Liu Bei was seeking to take Yizhou, not only occupied Guanzhong, but also took Hanzhong, looked at Liu Bei, and then looked at Pang Tong, and said tentatively: "Or, let's bully Zhang Lu first?" ”

It's not a matter to always spend it here, Liu Yi still wants to reach the height of the craftsman in his lifetime, there is no big project, how can he upgrade?

Liu Bei and Pang Tong shook their heads at the same time, how can it be called bullying? Talking about them is like bullying, and this order of priority cannot be confused.

Liu Yi sighed, now, the sixteenth year of Jian'an has passed, they have wasted a year in this Shu land, and then it is inevitable to turn against Liu Zhang, when the time comes, I don't know how long it will take, my daughter should be able to run away now, right?

"My lord." Jian Yong hurriedly walked in from outside the tent, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "The letter sent from Chengdu." ”

"Oh?" Liu Bei took the letter suspiciously, and looked at it, I don't know what happened to Liu Zhang at this time?

Looking at the letterhead, Liu Bei was silent.

"Lord, what happened?" Pang Tong saw that Liu Bei's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Liu Bei didn't speak, just handed the letter to Pang Tong, and Liu Yi also leaned over to read it.

Liu Zhang's letter, or urging Liu Bei to move troops as soon as possible, but this time the reason made Liu Bei and others heavy, but it was in the sixteenth year of Jian'an last year, starting from March Cao Cao sent Zhong Xuan to enter the Guanzhong, which lasted nine months, in December, Cao Cao finally completely eliminated the Guanzhong warlords led by Ma Chao and Han Sui in the Xiliang area, Cao Cao left the general Xiahou Yuan to guard Chang'an, and led the army to return to the court, Ma Chao's whereabouts are unknown.

Liu Bei is now living in Yizhou, and the information obtained by Jingzhou cannot be sent in time, and the information on Yizhou is naturally impossible to give to Liu Bei first, so before this, Liu Bei and others only knew that Cao Cao sent troops to Guanzhong, but no one knew how the war was, if it wasn't for Liu Zhang's feeling that he could use this information to urge Liu Bei to send troops, Liu Bei would have to wait for two months to get this news, and the intelligence from Jingzhou would have to wait.

Liu Yi put down the letter, looked at Liu Bei, and then looked at Pang Tong and said: "Lord, Shiyuan, in fact, I think it is not necessarily a bad thing to occupy Hanzhong at this time, first, with the support of Liu Zhang's grain and grass, soldiers and horses, we have not lost much troops, in this matter, Liu Zhang is definitely willing to support us, Cao Cao has just laid Guanzhong, and now the class has returned to the court, there is no intention to continue to attack Hanzhong, but once we and Liu Zhang turn against each other, Cao Cao will definitely come to attack Hanzhong, if our army can successfully take Yizhou, it is fine, but if the war is delayed, Cao's army took Hanzhong first and then waved its troops to Yizhou, and our army would fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on its back. ”

Pang Tong pondered silently: "If Hanzhong is taken, our army will have a foundation, Yizhou will be surrounded by our army, and when the time comes, a general will be sent to garrison Hanzhong, and our army will attack Liu Zhang?" ”

"Isn't that a better chance of winning?" Liu Yi was just thinking about it, he mainly didn't want Cao Cao to take Hanzhong first, so even if Liu Bei turned around and took Cao Cao away in the end, it would not be a good thing for Hanzhong, at least in terms of population, Cao Cao would not leave Liu Bei too much.

With the help of Liu Zhang's strength, he can take Hanzhong, during this period, he can also eliminate the power of those Liu Zhang's cronies, and he can also strengthen himself by fighting Hanzhong, and after taking Hanzhong, he will attack Liu Zhang in turn, Liu Yi feels that his idea is also quite reliable.

"The most important thing is that now that Cao Cao has just returned to the court, I am afraid that it will be difficult to send troops and horses over in a short time, which is an opportunity for our army to take advantage of!" Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei Dao, this is also the fundamental reason why he strongly advocates taking Hanzhong, compared to Cao Cao, whether it is Liu Zhang or Zhang Lu, it is not a big trouble, first take Hanzhong, block the possibility of Cao Cao entering Sichuan, and then return to seize Yizhou, Jingzhou can also exert force, and the two lines are out together!

Liu Bei was also a little moved when he heard it, but he didn't immediately agree, but turned his head to look at Pang Tong, he knew that although Liu Yi had some military talent, even Liu Yi himself admitted that he was only talking on paper in this regard, and many times it was a fantasy, and in reality, it had to be up to Pang Tong.

"Maybe you can give it a try, in this way, I will ask Liu Zhang for money and people again, and there is more reason, if Liu Zhang doesn't give it, it just has the name of counterattacking Shuzhong!" After thinking about it carefully, Pang Tong nodded at Liu Bei, mainly because the timing is too good, as long as they fight fast, they don't give Cao Cao time to react to take Hanzhong, and after taking Hanzhong, they will quickly make a defense, and it will be much more difficult to enter Hanzhong from the outside than from Shuzhong.

Liu Bei saw that Pang Tong also nodded, and immediately said: "According to the words of the two, it's just how to fight in this Hanzhong?" ”

"It's best to deceive that Zhang Lu first, defeat him for a while, and then attack Hanzhong." Liu Yi pondered, there is no specific plan, but if you fight, isn't it better at deceiving people than anyone?

Pang Tong nodded and said: "The lord can write to Zhang Lu, saying that Jingzhou has important matters and cannot live here for a long time, and persuade that Zhang Lumo to be the enemy of Ji Yugong again, and is willing to promote the good relationship between the two families, and make preparations to return to the division to relax the hostility, and then send a general to lead the elite surprise attack on Chuyang, and at the same time the lord will lead the army to go through Baishui Pass and attack Nanzheng directly. ”

"Jiameng Pass also needs to leave some people to garrison." Liu Yi added: "The lord now has a foundation here, and he will counterattack in the future, and Jiameng Pass must be under the control of our army." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded and said, "But I don't know who among the generals under this tent can go to attack Chuyang?" ”

"Wei Yan!" Liu Yi and Pang Tong almost said in unison, this kind of thing, Wei Yan is really suitable.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Wen Chang is good, since this is the case, he ordered Wen Chang to lead three thousand soldiers and horses, and the flag will be silenced and a surprise attack on Chuyang, I will write a letter to Zhang Lu, and order someone to send it, and the army is also ready to make a withdrawal of the army, Bo Yuan, the equipment needs to be prepared as soon as possible!" ”

"Whoa!" When Pang Tong and Liu Yi heard this, they stood up and bowed down to receive the order.

"Lord, don't forget to ask that Liu Zhang for more money." Before leaving, Liu Yi did not forget to look back at Liu Bei, if Hanzhong can be settled early, he also wants to do more projects to improve Hanzhong's defense capability, as for the road, it will have to wait for Yizhou to take it before considering, but if the materials can take Hanzhong, it can start to prepare as soon as possible.

When Liu Bei heard this, he nodded with a smile and said, "I will tell Ji Yu about this matter." ”

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an, early spring, this was not a season when war should start, but it was precisely because of this that Liu Bei chose to start a war at this time......
