"Okay, with this map, we can capture Xichuan." Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said excitedly.

"Yes, the terrain in Shuzhong is dangerous, it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is a million troops, it is difficult to enter, and now there is a detailed map of the twelve counties of Yizhou in Yongnian, and Yizhou is at your fingertips." Zhao Yundao.

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but admonish: "My lord, if you are young, you can consider it..." ”

Liu Bei struggled for a while, stepped forward to put away the map, and said, "Yongnian's kindness, I understand it." But Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, is my imperial brother, and even if my Liu Bei dies of embarrassment, I will never encroach on his territory. ”

"Uncle Huang..."

"If Liu Jiyu has a place to get me, and I Liu Bei is full of liver and brains, and I will not give up, my Jingzhou army can be sent by him to resist Zhang Lu and Cao Cao!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei brushed his sleeves and left.

Zhang Song was stunned, hurriedly ran over, knelt in front of Liu Bei, and sobbed: "Uncle Huang, please don't shirk anymore." If you refuse, the people of Shu will not agree, and the people of the Han Dynasty will not agree. ”

"Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the Han family is like the day when the west sinks, the breath is dying, the princes of the Liu family have been swallowed up one after another, and now only Xichuan is still surnamed Liu, but the sergeants of Shu all understand that this Liu Yizhou is afraid that it will not last long. If the imperial uncle does not take it, within two years, Yizhou will also be changed hands. At that time, what Uncle Huang said about getting rid of thieves and rejuvenating the Han Dynasty, where to start? Aren't they empty words? ”

"Uncle Huang, for the sake of the prosperity of the Han family, I, Zhang Song, am willing to bear the name of the Lord and welcome Uncle Huang into Sichuan..."

Before Zhang Song finished speaking, Liu Bei shook off Zhang Song very angrily and said angrily: "Yongnian Xiu wants to say it again, I, Liu Bei, will never do such an unkind and unrighteous thing." ”

"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang..."

Seeing Liu Bei walking farther and farther, Zhang Song turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang and said, "Why didn't Kong Ming persuade him?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed: "Yongnian, you don't know my father-in-law, he would rather die than do anything treacherous!" Not to mention Xichuan, even if it is the whole world, he will not be moved. ”

"Oh my God... Could it be that Yizhou is going to fall into the hands of traitors again? I'm Yizhou, why can't I get a virtuous monarch. Zhang Song was discouraged and collapsed to the ground.

He went to Jingzhou this time, called to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan, to resist Zhang Lu and Cao Cao, in fact, he had already colluded with Yizhou's civil and military forces, and gave Yizhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei didn't take it, so what could he do?

If Lu Bu was here, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth.

Zhuge Liang helped Zhang Song up, glanced at the direction in which Liu Bei left, and said in a low voice: "If you want to take Xichuan, you don't necessarily have to agree to it." ”

"Why?"

"Because the general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it!"

Zhang Song seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said happily: "Yes, Kong Ming, you have the power of the army, but you can give the order on behalf of the emperor's uncle and seize Xichuan." Then hand over Xichuan to the imperial uncle, and by then the wood has been completed, how can the imperial uncle not want it? ”

Zhang Fei laughed: "Okay, when we go to Yizhou, no matter whether the lord agrees or not, let's take it first!" ”

Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, etc., all nodded one after another.

The sixth year of Jian'an. Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 and went straight up along the Fushui River and entered Yizhou. It is called to rescue Liu Zhang and defend against Zhang Lu and Cao Cao. In fact, the generals under Liu Bei have already received orders from Zhuge Liang to eliminate Liu Zhang and occupy Yizhou after repelling Zhang Lu and Cao Cao.

Shou Chun.

Military Aircraft Division.

Lu Bu received information from the shadows and informed the Military Aircraft Department.

Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang sat together to discuss.

Xu Shu said: "Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to take charge of Yizhou. Now that it has been invaded by foreign enemies, please Liu Bei enter Sichuan. Liu Bei prides himself on benevolence and righteousness, and he is a close relative of the same clan as Liu Zhang, and he will never take advantage of the danger of others to seek to seize Yizhou. ”

"And the lord also said just now that Liu Bei only brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, none of them brought, and even Zhuge Liang stayed in Jingzhou. Is it like you want to take the state? Don't forget, Liu Zhang has an army of 200,000 in his hands. ”

Chen Gong and Zhang Liang all nodded secretly.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "If I were Liu Bei, I would do whatever it takes to capture Xichuan!" ”

"It's a pity that Liu Bei is not Wenhe, and he doesn't have Wenhe's vicious heart." Li Shanchang teased.

"You don't know Liu Bei..."

Lu Bu got up slowly, pointed to the map next to him, and said: "The twelve counties of Yizhou are full of dangers, if you forcibly take them, with Liu Bei's strength, you can't do it at all." Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei into Sichuan, how could Liu Bei capture Xichuan? If he leads Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao, and then brings Zhuge Liang with him, he will lead an army of 100,000 people. Liu Zhang knew at a glance that Liu Bei was here to take Xichuan, would he still allow Liu Bei to enter Xichuan? So what does Liu Bei want to do if he wants to capture Xichuan? You can only lead a force first, enter Xichuan, gain a firm foothold, and then transfer troops from Jingzhou to help. ”

"Therefore, Liu Bei is not unwilling to take Xichuan, but he can't show it blatantly."

"Besides, Zhang Lu and Cao Cao are attacking Xichuan, and Liu Bei will not retreat from the enemy first, but will seek to seize Liu Jiyu's land, which will make the world scold. Even if the West River is forcibly obtained, the people and officials in the river will not accept it. If you want to gain a firm foothold in Sichuan, you must first repel foreign enemies, establish prestige, and win the hearts and minds of the people... ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he was unanimously approved by all the strategists.

Xu Shu scratched his head and said to himself: "Based on my understanding of Liu Bei, he has always been benevolent and righteous, so he won't be so unbearable, right?" ”

"Yuan Zhi, don't be fooled by Liu Bei's hypocrisy. Since his debut, he has been shouting benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, he is winning people's hearts under the banner of benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Wen Ping, and even Zhuge Liang are loyal to him. He first served Gongsun Zhan, deceived thousands of soldiers and horses, and stole Xuzhou while Tao Qian was ill and died. Then Liu Jingsheng took advantage of the civil strife in Jingzhou to occupy Jingzhou. Now that Liu Jiyu has asked him to help in Sichuan, do you think he won't take Yizhou? If you don't take it, you won't go, and if you go, you will take it! Lu Bu said eloquently.

The Lord is right. The minister also didn't believe that Liu Bei was really benevolent. Li Shanchang said.

"So, let's seize the opportunity to eliminate Liu Bei and Sun Ce in one fell swoop! So that Liu Bei can neither take Xichuan, nor return to Jingzhou! Lu Bu sat down and said with a smile.

"Wonderful!"

Chen Gong understood Lu Bu's thoughts, and said excitedly: "Liu Bei takes Xichuan, and the Jingzhou army must rush to help, if we eliminate the Jingzhou army, then Liu Bei's troops in Sichuan and Shu will not be able to enter Xichuan, and they will not be able to return to Jingzhou, and they will inevitably fall into a desperate situation." ”

"Hmm...." The strategists were talking.

According to Lu Bu's vision, even if he couldn't kill Liu Bei, he could still severely damage Liu Bei.

Lu Budao: "I originally thought that I would wait for June next year to use troops against Sun Liu, because the navy of Jiangxia County has not yet formed combat effectiveness." But... Now that the times have changed, there is no room for waiting. Think about it, who will you send to fight Sun Ce? Who to send to Jingzhou? Within half a year, I will collect all the land of Jing and the two states. ”

It stands to reason that Xu Shu will definitely ask for battle, because he has a new army in his hands and is eager to make contributions. But Liu Bei of Jingzhou, his former master, couldn't bear to start, so he kept silent.

Chen Gong, as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Department, is in charge of the overall situation. After hearing Lu Bu's words, he hugged his fists and said: "The Jiangxia Water Army, although it has just been established, is not inferior to Zhou Yu in strength, and it is worthy of a heavy task. Bai Qi and Liang Hongyu should be transferred to assist Gan Ning and cross the river to fight. As for Jingzhou, there are not many soldiers and armor, so there is no need to worry. Cao Cao can send an army of 100,000 to feint Nanyang. Because we have an agreement with him, whenever the lord attacks Liu Bei, he will send troops to help. Then Zhang Liao was made the striker, Luo became the main general, Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao were the deputy generals, and led the army into Jingzhou one after another. If nothing happens, within half a year, you will be able to make contributions. ”
