Yizhou Jiamengguan, Liu Yong's camp.

"Is the news true?" Liu Yong looked at Pang Tong with a solemn face.

Pang Tong said with a rare solemn look: "No one dares to deceive the lord with military affairs, and this is the news sent by Jin Tianwei in an urgent manner for 800 miles, there will be no fake, nine times out of ten, Sun Quan is about to move when he sees that the lord is not in Jingzhou!" At the same time, Zhou Yu and a group of civil and military forces under Sun Ce were anxious to take a breath, so war was inevitable. ”

Pang Tong remembered: "But the lord doesn't have to be too anxious, with the lord's defense of Jiangdong and the manpower left, it should be enough to deal with it." With Gan Ning's force and his army, as well as Lou Gui and others in Xiangyang, there will definitely be no arrangements, and Chaisang should be safe. Besides, the news has reached here, several days have passed, and the war should have begun at this time, and the lord only needs to wait a few more days, and there will inevitably be news to come, and the exact battle situation will be known. ”

Liu Yong nodded, thinking that this is indeed the case, it is useless to worry about it at this time, it is better to wait for the follow-up news with peace of mind. Everyone dispersed and waited for the final news, but Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others obviously felt that the lord's mind was not quiet, and they continued to inspect the training and grain and grass of each battalion for several days, and at the same time saw that there were more scouts sent everywhere, everything was like a dark cloud before the rain, and a violent storm was hidden.

All this naturally couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the Baishui guard, Lei Tong, and immediately reported it to Liu Zhang in Chengdu.

Huang Quan immediately said: "Lord, Liu Yongnai is a hero in the world, how can he be willing to guard the portal for me Xichuan in Jiameng Pass, and for more than half a year, obviously the plan is not small." I heard that he was in Jiameng Pass, he could please the local people, buy people's hearts, and have made the local people worship as gods, and the minister also got the news that many people privately said that they hoped to serve Liu Yong as the main and no longer be the subjects of the lord. ”

Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, he had also heard Huang Quan's words come to him, and he scolded the person who said it at that time, and he resolutely didn't believe it. But Liu Yong's governance in Jiamengguan is really good, and now that I think about it, this matter is also very likely, and I don't know how to speak for a while.

Seeing this, Zhang Song came out and said: "My lord, the minister has received the news, Jiangdong Sun Quan has raised more than 100,000 troops not long ago to attack Chaisang, and Liu Dudu will definitely learn the news." If something like this happened to his family, how could he not be in time, he would definitely have to go back to Jingzhou to face the enemy, what was strange about this action. ”

Liu Zhang was shocked, with an angry look on his face: "Is this really the case? Why is no one telling me? ”

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song glanced at each other, and also spoke: "The minister also got the news, which is exactly what Zhang Ziqiao said!" ”

Zhang Song looked at Huang Quan with a good look, many of Liu Zhang's intelligence matters were conveyed by Huang Quan, and this kind of thing was obviously Huang Quan's own initiative and suppressed it.

"Ahem, the minister has just learned about this not long ago, because it has nothing to do with Xichuan, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't have time to report it to the lord!" Huang Quan felt that he was being severely scolded by Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, but at this time, he couldn't help but bear this breath and didn't dare to hide it anymore. Because it was true that he didn't want Liu Zhang to know about this matter so quickly, he even hoped in his heart that it would be best for Jingzhou to be captured in one fell swoop and let Liu Yong lose power.

"Huang Quan, do you think you can call the shots about Yizhou?" Liu Zhang was furious in an instant, and he was rarely angry in front of the ministers, and he immediately shouted coldly at him, and instead of calling him as usual, he directly called his name, which shows how angry Liu Zhang was in his heart.

Huang Quan knew that he had gone too far in this matter, but Liu Zhang, under the secret instigation of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, obviously regarded him as a person with ulterior motives, and his heart was dripping blood: "The lord ......."

Huang Quan was about to speak, but was immediately stopped by Liu Zhang: "You don't have to say it anymore, from now on, you have thought about it at home, and you have repented. ”

Huang Quan looked at Liu Zhang, depressed and then retreated, his face was full of misery, looking at Zhang Song and Fa Zheng's smug faces, he consciously fell into the trap of the two, and said again: "Lord, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng are in cahoots with that Liu Yong, they must harbor evil intentions, the lord must not be careless, and he must not let Liu Yong leave Jia Meng Pass!" ”

"Shut up! You still dare to slander others again, Liu Yongnai is a benefactor of Yizhou, you don't think about your own mistakes, and you dare to speak out here! Come on, beat Huang Quan out of the stick, and you can't participate in the government without my order! ”

Huang Quan was beaten by the sergeant shouting this messy stick, screaming and leaving, everyone trembled and didn't dare to say anything more, and it didn't take long for it to disperse. Zhang Song and Fa Zheng smiled heartily and made an appointment to drink at night.

The matter of Huang Quan soon spread throughout the civil and military forces in Yizhou, and no one dared to say to Liu Zhang that Liu Yong was not.

Five days later, news came from Jingzhou again that Chai Sang was safe and sound, and at the same time captured the general Zhu Zhi alive, just waiting for Liu Yong to fall. At the same time, there is also a letter from Liu Ye and Gan Ning, each explaining that he made the decision to release Zhou Tai and Tai Shici's father and son.

"Haha, Liu Ziyang does take care of the overall situation, Gan Xingba is also a loyal general, it doesn't matter if you let go of Zhou Tai and Tai Shici, if you make Jiangdong angry and fight back, it will be a bad thing, it is the best at this time!" Liu Yong praised loudly after reading it.

Pang Tong looked at it and nodded: "Indeed, if Jiangdong is crazy at this time, Cao Cao will never be without action, so it is a good thing for Jiangdong to know the strength of Jingzhou and let them remember Jingzhou's kindness." As for one or two generals, it is not enough to change the gap between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. ”

Pang Tong suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Lord, this matter is an excellent opportunity!" ”

"What chance?" Liu Yong was puzzled.

"The lord's chance to make a move has come!" Pang Tong smiled and looked at the door again.

Liu Yong was shocked, remembered the events in history, and said softly: "Shiyuan said that he would use this to return to Jingzhou?" ”

Pang Tong laughed: "Yes, the lord is really very human, and the minister immediately thought of it when he mentioned it a little, so what?" ”

Pang Tong and Liu Yong whispered again, and the two laughed happily.

Liu Yong immediately said to the door: "Kou Feng, go and order the generals to come to discuss matters, you guard the door, and no one else is allowed to approach the big tent!" ”

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Huo Jun and others came in turn, Liu Yong first informed Chaisang of the results of the battle, and then briefly told the generals about the plan discussed with Pang Tong, and the generals were overjoyed, and they could be arranged by turning back immediately. 8910
