Cheng, Du, the General's Mansion.

Although Guan Yu is only a general in Zhenxi now, he is complacent about others calling him "General" in private, and secretly names his official residence the General's Mansion.

Of course, although it is the official residence of the government, it is also the place where many officials work here, because the military and political power of the entire Shu State is all in the hands of Guan Yu, so it has naturally become the political center of the Shu State, and its busyness is no less than that of the prime minister of a country.

And here, Guan Yu's internal affairs ability is obviously a little stretched, in this case, Guan Yu appointed his most trusted advisor Liao Li as Dong Cao Peng to take charge of political affairs and handle daily affairs for him, so Liao Li was privately called "Shang Shuling".

Liao Li's internal affairs ability is actually very average, but fortunately, there are many staff members around him, coupled with a relatively high intelligence, which covers up the shortcomings of internal affairs, so he is still a little handy when dealing with internal affairs, but his biggest characteristic is greed for money, which has almost become a semi-open secret in Shu, and only a few people such as Guan Yu are kept in the dark.

Almost all officials who have dealt with Liao Li know that if anyone wants to be promoted, even if you have made a contribution, you must go through Liao Li's hands, at least give a gift afterwards to thank you, otherwise, he will definitely give you small shoes in the future.

It is precisely because of this that Liao Li's mansion can be said to be full of people, but he doesn't know how to restrain his behavior at all, he still goes his own way, and even openly accepts bribes in the official residence.

On this day, Liao Lizheng was so busy that his head was dizzy, and he suddenly saw Yang Yi, the clerk in the house, arching his hand and saying: "Liao Gong, tomorrow is the lower official's cheap birthday, the lower official once boasted before, and invited Liao Gong to come to the court, the lower official knows that Liao Gong has always been busy, but he has already boasted about Haikou, and now he can only be cheeky and invite Liao Gong to come to the cold house." Afterwards, the lower officials must not dare to forget the benefits of Liao Gong. ”

When Liao Li heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Since you have said everything, this official will not give you this face, right?" I'll be sure to arrive on time tomorrow."

The next day, Liao Li arrived at Yang Yi's mansion early, Yang Yi respectfully welcomed him to his mansion, and said to him: "In fact, today is not a cheap day, the reason why the lower officials came to see Liao Gong is mainly to offer advice to Liao Gong, since the general recovered the lost land, our country can be said to be thriving, but Panhu colluded with the Qiang people, repeatedly violated our border, burned and looted in the border areas, the people were miserable, and the lower officials were very worried, so they wanted to make a statement to the general and lead the army to conquer it, so that not only the border was stable, Our army can also take the opportunity to absorb the elite cavalry of the Qiang people, which is the best of both worlds, but the lower officials are soft-spoken, and I am afraid that they will not be able to move the general, so I have come to ask Liao Gong for help. Xiaguan has two thousand taels of gold and some silverware here as a reward, and he will definitely send someone to the house in a while, and ask Liao Gong to help with this. ”

But seeing Liao Liban's face, he said: "This matter is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I will naturally explain to the general, there is no need to reward or anything, am I really the kind of person who sees money and has an eye for money?" ”

Yang Yi sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she still said respectfully: "Duke Liao really misunderstood the meaning of the lower official, the lower official sincerely wants to thank Duke Liao for his work for the country and the people, please don't shirk Duke Liao." ”

"In that case, then I will be disrespectful." Liao Li smiled, then got up and said to Yang Yi: "Duke Wei, don't worry, I will suggest this matter to the general after I go back, and after the matter is completed in the future, I will definitely ask the general for your credit." ”

Then Liao Li stood up and returned to his house.

For Yang Yi, although he didn't see the other party's expression, he could also imagine how much the other party despised him in his heart? But he didn't know that Liao Li at this time was also full of contempt for him in his heart.

"I only know the stupid infighting, do you think I can't see through your intentions? However, you are in line with my heart, I am about to use this matter to force Guan Zhang and the others to the command of the lord, at that time, see who else in your Shu can be a general? ”

Liao Li returned to the mansion, and sure enough, when he saw Yang Yi send his belongings to his mansion, he was not polite, and laughed at all those finances, and then found Guan Yu, and really put forward a suggestion to Guan Yu to ask for Panhu and the Qiang people, Guan Yu was thinking about who to use force to establish his authority at this time, and now when he heard this, he felt that his line of work could not only establish his authority, but also use it to establish an elite cavalry composed of Qiang people, and at that time, he could confront Liu He, so he immediately agreed. He ordered the requisition of 50,000 troops, led by himself, together with his son Guan Ping, the generals Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Huo Jun and others, and the military advisor Liao Li, set out to fight Panhu ten days later, and appointed Peng Yi to temporarily act as Shang Shuling's post to handle internal affairs.

"Sir, this plan is done, and the big thing can be decided." Yang Yi heard the news that Guan Yu was preparing to go on the expedition, and came to Zhuge Liang's seclusion, and said happily.

Zhuge Liang was also very excited about this, he performed the technique of Qimen Dunjia, divination of the good luck and evil of this matter, the results showed that this time his actions will be very smooth, his heart is more determined, and he began to use his prestige, constantly mobilizing people and horses, ready to give Guan Yu a fatal blow.

After that, Zhuge Liang arranged everything intensively, and when he heard that Guan Yu's army had come to Jianning County, he immediately secretly summoned Yizhou Taishou Meng Shu and asked him to lead his army to Chengdu to obey orders.

Meng Shu was full of gratitude and admiration for Zhuge Liang, at the beginning, Zhuge Liang tried to disagree with the public, designed seven captures and seven verticals, so that Meng Shu was dead set on him from then on, even if he and the famous Guan Yu did not hesitate to him, so, when he heard Zhuge Liang's order, Meng Shu did not hesitate, and immediately took his wife Zhu Rong, his younger brother Meng You, the generals Mulu King, Vulture Gu and others, and 20,000 barbarians to Chengdu to standby.

At this time, the Chengdu guard is Zhang Fei, Guan Yu's most trusted person, in Guan Yu's opinion, Chengdu has Peng Yi and Zhang Fei, which is enough to protect himself.

Guan Yu's self-confidence is not unreasonable, but the two also have many shortcomings, Peng Yi is arrogant and arrogant, with a mouth open, offending many people, and Zhang Fei likes to drink, although he was determined to quit drinking because of Liu Bei's death, but due to the passage of time, this determination has gradually faded, and now in some celebratory festivals, he also occasionally drinks a few glasses, the reason why he dare not let go, is mainly because Guan Yu's supervision is very strict, as long as he sees himself drinking, he says that he can't live with words like big brother.

Now that Guan Yu has finally left, Zhang Fei can finally drink with confidence, this is not to say that he doesn't care about Chengdu's defense, mainly because he thinks that it is impossible for anyone to attack Chengdu now, Liu He, the king of Qin, does not want to say that he has a friendly relationship with Shu, even if the relationship is broken, it is almost impossible to attack Shu. After all, as long as the Sword Pavilion Shu Dao is guarded, it is impossible for anyone to attack it.

Of course, the reason why Zhang Fei drank heartily was also because he was tempted by two people, these two people were Zhang Fei's generals Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, who had already been secretly bribed by Yang Yi and secretly promised to serve Zhuge Liang.

But Zhang Fei didn't know that when he broke the ring this time, he immediately brought himself lifelong remorse!
