Yizhou, Chengdu.

Since Li Yi sent troops to Chang'an, Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, has been asking Zhang Lu to pay attention to the battle situation over there, because he knows very well that the outcome of the battle of Chang'an will determine the fate of him, the king of Shu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Gongqi passed a book, saying that the war in Chang'an still hasn't changed much, and the Li army still surrounds Chang'an and does not continue to storm the city......" Liu Zhang looked at the people on the left and right and said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, your subordinates think that no matter what the outcome of the Battle of Chang'an is, Your Highness should prepare early!" Pang Xi said respectfully.

"What kind of plan does Ziyun have?" Liu Zhang asked in a deep voice when he heard this.

"My subordinates think that we should send someone to Jingzhou to contact the King of Chu, Jingzhou is connected to Si Li, if His Royal Highness and the King of Chu can reach an offensive and defensive alliance, then no matter who wins or loses in the battle of Chang'an, His Royal Highness also has the power to fight!" Pang Xi said respectfully.

"Hmm...... what do you think?" After Liu Zhang pondered for a moment, he looked around at everyone and asked.

"Ponji's words are extremely true!" Everyone responded in unison.

Hearing this, a hint of gloom flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, but he hid it well, but no one found out. "That Ziyun thinks, who can take on this important task?"

"My subordinates recommend Zhang Beijia." Pang Xi replied respectfully.

Hearing this candidate, Liu Zhang was even more dissatisfied in his heart, because this Zhang Beijia was the person who depended on Pang Xi. Zhang Beijia's full name is Zhang Su, he is a local family in Chengdu, Liu Zhang originally wanted to find an opportunity to win him over, but Pang Xi started faster and directly asked Liu Zhang to promote him to another driver.

However, obviously, although he was dissatisfied, Liu Zhang could not refuse Pang Xi's proposal, otherwise, he would not only offend Pang Xi, but also offend Zhang Su.

"Then according to Ziyun's words!" Liu Zhang nodded, then turned his head to look at Zhang Su and said in a deep voice, "Jun Jiao, this matter will be handed over to you." Well...... In this way, you bring some gifts over, after all, I had some misunderstandings with the King of Chu in the past......"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness." Zhang Su replied respectfully when he heard this.

Back in the mansion, Liu Zhang immediately secretly summoned Wang Shang and Wang Lei brothers, they are all members of the Guanghan royal family, although they have now taken refuge in Pang Xi on the surface, but they have fallen to Liu Zhang in secret. The reason why this is so is because Liu Yan was kind to them in the past.

In this regard, although Liu Zhang was a little skeptical, after some testing and really found nothing suspicious, he finally chose to believe the two. After all, if you don't believe them, how can Liu Zhang bring down Pang Xi and Zhao Yun? Those people who relied on him to win over during this time? Apparently impossible! You must know that the officials of the entire Shu County now, except for those who fell to Zhao Wei, are basically Pang Xi's people.

"Your Highness, Pang Xi's sending Zhang Su to Jingzhou this time is by no means as simple as he proposed!" Wang Shang said respectfully, "If the subordinates are not bad as expected, I'm afraid that Pang Xi is planning to do something to Zhao Wei this time!" ”

In the name of quelling the rebellion in Ba County, Zhao Wei stayed for several years, and if Pang Xi couldn't guess it, then he wouldn't be worthy of becoming one of the leaders of Yizhou Shizi. In fact, including Liu Zhang, Wu Yi and others, they all saw Zhao Wei's ambitions, but on the one hand, there was no basis for saying that Zhao Wei did not let them grasp any handle at all, and on the other hand, it was also deliberately done by Pang Xi.

Wu Yi is the county guard of Ba County, and it is obviously not a comfortable thing to have such a great god as Zhao Wei to recruit troops to quell the rebellion under his rule. But although he repeatedly proposed to transfer Zhao Yun back, he was rejected by Pang Xi. Reason? Naturally, he took advantage of Zhao Wei's absence to draw the Shujun scholars to his side as much as possible.

"Hmm...... In your opinion, how should the king respond? Hearing this, Liu Zhang asked noncommittally.

"This ...... The subordinates thought that His Highness only needed to sit and watch the changes! Although Pang Xi's current power has surpassed Zhao Wei, since Zhao Wei chose to develop in Ba County, it is impossible that Pang Xi did not expect that Pang Xi would take the opportunity to expand his power in Shu County. At that time, there will be an injury when the two tigers compete, and His Royal Highness only needs to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Wang Shang said respectfully.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang nodded, and then discussed with the two for a while before letting the two leave. After they left, Liu Zhang immediately summoned his dead soldiers and asked them to tell Liu Mao, who was in Jianwei, and Wu Yi in Ba County. Although Liu Zhang also didn't believe in these two people, he knew that in front of outsiders, these two people would definitely choose to support him!

He got up and left the secret room and walked straight to a room in the mansion.

When I walked into the room, I saw Lu Yuxi taking care of her mother Fei Lan. Since Liu Yan's death, Fei Lan may be because of missing? Or maybe it's because of resentment? The body is getting worse and worse, and recently, he has contracted the wind cold and has been sick in bed.

"The child will meet his mother and aunt......" Liu Zhang came in and said.

"Ji Yu, you're here, Yu Xi and I just talked about you......" Fei Lan saw Liu Zhang, showing a gentle smile, although his face was still pale.

"The servant greets Your Highness." Lu Yuxi on the side got up and saluted respectfully. Speaking of which, although Fei Lan did not blame Lu Yuxi, and even treated her as a sister, Lu Yuxi has always adhered to the duty of a concubine and has not exceeded the etiquette at any time.

"Auntie doesn't have to be so polite." Seeing this, Zhang Lu hurriedly said, and then came to the bed and looked at Fei Lan and said with concern, "How is Mujun feeling lately?" Is there any better? ”

"Hehe, it's better, Ji Yu doesn't have to worry about it." Ferran took Liu Zhang's hand and smiled.

After a while, perhaps a little tired after saying so many words, Liu Zhang and Lu Yuxi got up and left the room. As soon as he went out, Liu Zhang said to Lu Yuxi respectfully, "Auntie, the child wants to ask her aunt for help when she sees something important." ”

"Your Highness does not have to be like this, the servant has received great favor from the Lord, and the lady regards the servant as a sister...... If there is a place where the servant can be used, His Highness will do it even if he commands it. Lu Yuxi hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Liu Zhang was polite, and then said in a deep voice, "Auntie, now that Pang Xi is ready to do something to Zhao Wei, the child hopes that the aunt will help the child send this letter to Hanzhong." There are a lot of eyeliner in Pang Xi's side of the child, and if the child sends someone to send it, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Pang Xi. ”

"I see, please rest assured, Your Highness!" Lu Yuxi replied with a serious expression when he heard this, although Lu Yuxi didn't know much about Pang Xi and Zhao Wei, he had heard some about it.

Well, it seems that Liu Zhang really doesn't trust anyone, or can't trust it completely. It's just that involving so many people can really achieve Liu Zhang's goal?

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Regarding Liu Zhang's request for alliance, Liu Biao agreed directly without any hesitation. Although Liu Biao and Liu Zhang had some conflicts before, in the current situation, that conflict obviously could not stop Liu Biao from agreeing to an alliance with Liu Zhang.

On the one hand, it is naturally because Liu Biao also has the same worries as Liu Zhang. In Liu Biao's view, if there are no huge changes in the Battle of Chang'an, then the final winner will only be Li Yi. Although he sent people to Luoyang early to show favor to Li Yi, who knew that after capturing Chang'an, Li Yi would not aim his troops at Jingzhou?

On the other hand, Liu is in need of a stable West. Because only in this way can he mobilize more troops to Lujiang and Yuzhou.

At this time, two months have passed since Yuan Shu gave up Yuzhou, Jiujiang, Lujiang and other places, and Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao are quickly annexing these ownerless territories while carefully guarding against others.

Until now, the three parties have divided the territory, Liu Biao seized Jiujiang and the western and southern parts of Yuzhou, Cao Cao took the northern part of Yuzhou plus Yingchuan County, and Liu Bei occupied Jiujiang County and the eastern part of Yuzhou.

In this case, as everyone guessed, it is impossible for the three parties not to have a conflict, and Liu Bei and they are also very clear, so before that, they must be prepared to strive for the maximum benefit in future conflicts.

"Guys, what do you think of the current situation?" Liu Biao glanced around, and everyone asked in a deep voice.

"Father, the child thinks that he should send someone to continue to befriend Zhao Gong and form an alliance with the King of Qi! At the same time, send generals to sit in Yuzhou, Lujiang ......", Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Qi said respectfully.

While listening, Liu Biao stroked his beard and smiled, for his eldest son, Liu Biao is very fond of him, because his appearance is very similar to himself, seeing him, it is as if he saw himself back then.

However, after listening to Liu Qi's words, Liu Biao did not express any attitude, but turned his head to look at Kuai Liang and asked, "Zirou, what do you think?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, my subordinates think that they should reach an alliance with Duke Zheng and King Qi!" Kuai Liang said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Is it an alliance with King Qi and Gong Zheng at the same time......" Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang in some surprise when he heard this, but then reacted, "Zirou's intention is to give up the advantage of expanding Yuzhou and concentrate on attacking Yuan Shu?" ”

"Not bad!" Kuai Liang replied respectfully, "Why can Duke Zhao lead a large army to attack Chang'an unscrupulously? It is precisely because of his banner of supporting the Han family and eradicating national thieves! At this time, as long as it is a person who prides himself on being a Hanchen, he cannot be an enemy of him! ”

"Hmm......" Liu Biao fell into deep thought when he heard this, and he didn't reply for a long time.

Seeing this, Kuai Liang said again, "His Highness and Na Yuan Shu have been at war for many years, and their mutual enmity cannot be resolved at all. And if Yangzhou can be captured, our army will get the entire Yangtze River natural risk! At that time, you can dominate the world and retreat, and you can also maintain the stability of one party. ”

Hearing this, Liu Biao suddenly felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he didn't show it, but just said noncommittally, "Zirou's words are also good......

Hearing Liu Biao say this, how could Kuai Liang not guess what Liu Biao was thinking? It's just that he continued to persuade just now, and he heard Liu Biao wave his hand and say, "In this way, send someone to Xuzhou to discuss the alliance with the King of Qi!" At the same time......"

Before Liu Biao's words were finished, he saw a soldier outside the door hurriedly walking in, "Your Highness, the envoy of the King of Qi asks to see you." ”

"Oh?!" Hearing this, Liu Biao's face showed a hint of discoloration, but he soon came back to his senses and said in a serious tone, "Please!" ”

On the side, Kuai Liang turned his head to look out of the door, his eyes flickering, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, a young man walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he said respectfully, "Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Ziyu under the command of King Qi, meet His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" ”

"Haha, Ziyu doesn't have to be polite! No need to be polite! Throne! Liu Biao laughed, and then said all kinds of unnutritious polite words to Zhuge Jin.

After a long while, Zhuge Jin said respectfully, "Your Highness, I came down this time, but I was ordered by the King of Qi to reach an alliance agreement with His Highness to jointly fight against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and the people who are not subordinate in the world!" After speaking, Zhuge Jin took out a copy of Jian Ce and handed it to Liu Biao's attendant.

After taking Jian Ce, Liu Biao looked at it silently, but it didn't take long for him to put this Jian Ce aside, because the content on it was basically useless polite words.

"This king and the king of Qi are both royal relatives, and it is a matter of course to fight against the puppet emperor Yuan Shu and the people who are not subordinate in the world. But the alliance is ...... Please also consider it. Liu Biao said lightly. Although he was ready to send someone to form an alliance with Liu Bei just now, but now that Liu Bei took the initiative to send someone to discuss, he was not in a hurry.

In this regard, Zhuge Jin didn't say much, just made a salute and followed the soldier to the residence. And after Zhuge Jin left, Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang and asked in a deep voice, "Zirou, in your opinion, does King Qi want to seize Yuzhou when he allied with me this time?" ”

"It must be so!" Kuai Liang said in an affirmative tone, "The King of Qi is different from His Royal Highness, he sits on the two states of Qingxu and Xu, and now although he has Jiujiang, he is still in the north of the Yangtze River. There are not many naval troops in Xuzhou, and even if the king of Qi sends troops south, he may not be able to cross the Yangtze River. And even if he takes Wu Jun or Danyang, he will only put himself in a more unfavorable situation......"

"Hmm......" Liu Biao fell into deep thought again when he heard this. In fact, after hearing Zhuge Jin's words, he had already guessed what Liu Bei meant. It's just that Liu Biao doesn't want to give up Yuzhou easily, as mentioned earlier, the value of Yuzhou is not comparable to Yangzhou at all!

However, once Liu Biao wanted to expand the territory of Yuzhou, it would inevitably attract Liu Bei's hostility. This is also a problem that Liu Biao has to consider.

"Your Highness, according to the current situation, it is the best way to form an alliance with the King of Qi and attack Yangzhou by taking advantage of the situation. Although Yuzhou is more important, it will be mired in disputes with the Duke of Zheng and the King of Qi. Not to mention that the Yan King in the north has been recuperating for many years, I am afraid that once the war in Yuzhou resumes, he will definitely not watch from the wall! Seeing this, Kuai Liang hurriedly persuaded again.

"This ......" Hearing Kuai Liang say this, Liu Biao's brows furrowed even deeper, he was not afraid of Liu Bei or Cao Cao, but he was very jealous of Yuan Shao.

After a long while, he nodded a little unwillingly and said, "Then it's decided, form an alliance with the King of Qi and go all out to capture Yangzhou!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"
