Liu Bei led his troops into Yizhou, and the officials along the way received Liu Zhang's orders, received them politely and attentively, supplied food and military supplies, and passed all the way unimpeded, just as comfortable as in their own homes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Zhang personally led 30,000 foot cavalry to Fucheng to meet Liu Bei. When the clan relatives saw each other, they were extremely hot, and they hated to see each other late at a big banquet.

Fa Zheng found Pang Tong privately and brought Zhang Song's suggestion: "Liu Zhang is defenseless, it is better to kill Liu Zhang at the banquet and lead the army to take Chengdu. ”

Pang Tong had this intention, and proposed this plan to Liu Bei that night: "In this way, you can easily seize the land of a state without having to fight hard." ”

Liu Beizheng was deeply moved by Liu Zhang's enthusiasm and refused to accept this method: "We just came, and the people of Yizhou are not familiar with us yet. People greet each other with smiles, and we suddenly turn our faces and attack and kill, will the people be willing to accept such an official? This is a must-have. ”

The two sides got together for more than 100 days, drank happily every day, and recommended each other for official positions. Liu Zhang named Liu Bei as the Great Sima, and the commander was subordinate to the school captain. Liu Bei was still in exchange for gifts, and promoted Liu Zhang as the general of Zhenxi and led the Yizhou pastor.

Liu Zhang allocated a lot of grain and grass to Liu Bei, and sent an additional 10,000 horses, and told him: "I have ordered Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the generals guarding Baishui Pass, to let them wait for your dispatch, so that you will have almost 30,000 horses to fight against Zhang Lu." ”

Of course, Liu Zhang's past was clear, thinking that Liu Biao had taken him in and stationed in Xinye to resist Cao Cao, and he could also send troops all the way to the vicinity of Yecheng, where he burned Bowangpo and defeated Xiahoudun and Yu Ban, this ability is still a handful, and now he has let him occupy Hanzhong, and he can also defend himself against Cao Cao in the north, isn't it wonderful? Liu Ba and Huang Quan, those who persuaded themselves not to let Liu Bei come to Yizhou, really didn't think about it.

100 days later, Liu Zhang returned to Chengdu. Liu Bei led the crowd to set off slowly, but stopped when he walked to Jiameng Pass, and stationed in the local area to make extensive contact with people from all walks of life, in order to establish prestige and win the hearts of the people.

More than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and Liu Bei still did not set off to Hanzhong to conquer Zhang Lu, which had already aroused the vigilance of Yang Huai and Gao Pei, who felt that this guy was too suspicious, and was afraid that he would not have any good intentions, so he wrote to Liu Zhang many times and asked him to send Liu Bei back to Jingzhou.

In August, Ge Liang confirmed the news that Cao Cao would conquer Sun Quan in October, and felt that Liu Bei should also be urged, so he wrote a letter, saying that as soon as Cao Cao and Sun Quan fought, they would have no time to manage Jingzhou and Yizhou, and they should take this opportunity to take action, and when they ceased fighting, they were afraid that something would happen.

The most anxious was Pang Tong, he found Liu Bei in private, and once again persuaded him to do it early: "My lord, although you are here to build kindness and want to win the hearts of the people in Yizhou before you do it, please note that this is Yizhou, not Jingzhou." At the beginning, Liu Biao took him in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao assigned to be stationed in Xinye, of course, he could stay for a long time and slowly make friends with celebrities, but here, the reason we came was to help others go to Zhang Lu, but there was no action, and after a long time, Liu Zhang would definitely have some suspicions, but I was afraid that we would be in a bad situation at that time. ”

Although Liu Bei was reluctant to turn his face with Liu Zhang because of his consistent benevolence and righteousness complex, he also decided in his heart that he must take Yizhou, otherwise where would he have the capital to compete with Cao Cao, hearing Pang Tong's analysis, he had to be anxious: "Military advisor, what should I do now?" ”

Knowing that it was difficult for Liu Bei to pull down his face directly, Pang Tong was fully prepared this time, and put forward three countermeasures: "The best strategy is to secretly select elite soldiers, move forward day and night, and quietly sneak to Chengdu to launch a surprise attack." Liu Zhang can't fight, and if something happens suddenly, he will definitely panic, but Yizhou will be decided by a war. ”

This is still the previous set of sudden changes in hexagram and betrayal of the alliance, Liu Bei really still disagreed, and asked: "What is the middle strategy?" ”

"Yang Huai and Gao Pei led elite troops to garrison Baishui Pass, and the lord could use the excuse that there was something wrong in Jingzhou, and he had to run back to save himself, and let the sergeants make it look like they were about to return and pass the news to Yang Huai and Gao Pei. Since they had already written to Liu Zhang, persuading him to let the lord return to Jingzhou, when they really heard the news that you were going back to Jingzhou, they would know the name of the lord and think that this was the result of their letter of advice, and they would definitely come to see them off in person, and when the time came, they would catch them and requisition their forces to attack Chengdu. That's the middle way. ”

Isn't this still a sudden turn? Liu Bei asked again: "Then what is the next step?" ”

"Go home, go back to Jingzhou." Pang Tong said this sentence neatly and neatly, and he was unwilling to say a word more.

This is a choice of three, subconsciously it will also make people feel that they must choose one of them, Liu Bei feels that it is still relatively acceptable to Zhongce, just Ge Liang sent a letter urging again, so he prepared to come down and wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, saying that the ally Sun Quan and Cao Cao were at war, and Lejin and Guan Yu were also inseparable in Qingni, in case Jingzhou was lost, Cao Cao attacked Yizhou from Jingzhou, it was much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Lu, and he had to rush back to save himself, hoping that Liu Zhang could support another 10,000 horses and grain and grass armaments.

No matter how stupid Liu Zhang is, he feels that he has been deceived when he receives the letter, I have been feeding you for more than a year, and I have to go back without doing anything, what is going on? But it's hard to say that he can't go back, he can't pull it off even more than Liu Bei, so he has to ask for 10,000 people to only give 4,000, and most of them are old and weak sergeants, and the military supply is also halved accordingly.

When Zhang Song heard the letter, he thought that Liu Bei was really going home, and he was busy writing to ask Liu Bei, now is the time for the inside and outside to conspire to win Yizhou, but don't give up halfway.

Zhang Song's brother Zhang Su inadvertently learned that he and Liu Bei colluded to betray Liu Zhang, and now that Liu Bei is going back, this matter will be exposed sooner or later, for fear of affecting himself, so he reported it to Liu Zhang.

No matter how good Liu Zhang's temper was, he couldn't bear it, so he arrested Zhang Song and killed him, and ordered all the passes not to let Liu Bei go back.

Liu Bei had already told Yang Huai and Gao Pei that he was going back to Jingzhou, and the two believed that they were really coming to see them off, but they were killed by Liu Bei, who took the opportunity to seize the White Water Army, detained their families, and ordered them to attack Chengdu.

Liu Zhang's order not to let him go home made Liu Bei feel that he had found a sufficient reason to go to war, and he excitedly mobilized the sergeants: "We have traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land, and we have endured all the hardships to help them crusade against Zhang Lu, but Yizhou is rich, but he is reluctant to reward us for our merits." Who else would be willing to serve such a person? Now we are not even allowed to go home, this is to trap us here, we will not tolerate it! ”

The 30,000 army only left a few hundred people for Huo Jun to guard Jiameng Pass, and the rest all went all the way to Chengdu, but these people may not be enough, and it didn't take long for Liu Bei to send a letter to Jingzhou, leaving Guan Yu to guard, and let Ge Liang and Zhang Fei lead the army into Shu to pacify the counties and join Chengdu.
