In the hall of the General's Mansion, Liu Bei is the guest of honor, Ma Teng accompanies the guest second, and the rest of the civil and military forces also have a place.

Roast sheep steamed pig fish soup dough cake yellow wine melon fruit should be passed on, the host let the chopsticks, distinguished guests wish success.

The old acquaintance Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci invited Liu Bei to drink several times, Mi Zhu Sun Qianli asked Tian Feng and Jia Xu to drink together, Xu Huang and Zhang Liao also drank wine with Guan Zhang and others, and Ma Teng was sandwiched between the left and right, but it was a guest and host.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Yuzhou's eyes signaled his civil and military affairs to calm down, and he said to Deng Ji: "The people who are floating in the sky have to be taken in by Chang'an, and they are treated as guests, and they are really favored by the general, and they are hard to admire, and they only hate and can't repay them!" However, there is no place to stand, the top and bottom are afraid, and the defectors are gradually numerous, and they still have to brazenly beg the general to borrow land to raise horses to calm the sergeants! ”

Liu Bei opened his mouth to mention the matter, everyone in the hall stopped drinking, even Ma Teng squinted, and waited for Deng Ji's reply with a full screen of silence.

"Get up, please! Please! After looking around, Deng Ji grinned first, waited for Liu Bei to get up, and said, "Don't blame someone for being straight!" ”

Hearing him say this, probably the result was not good, Liu Bei "groaned" in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good. Now that the remnants of his own army are in Chang'an, but in the hinterland of Sizhou, life and death are all up to him, if the result is not satisfied, Deng Ji will not let him go, and it is not easy to leave and join others.

After taking a look at the bottom first, and then taking in the expressions of everyone in the hall, Deng Ji continued: "Everyone in the world hears the name of the public, and it is a blessing not to abandon Ji Rude and enter Sizhou!" However, the exchange is long, the host and guest are two pennies, no suspicion, there are three strategies under the step, and the public chooses by himself. ”

"One. Sizhou defends itself in order to take a place for the inferior. After that, the horns clinged to each other. Conquer the Kwantung princes together! These two families are in alliance, and Ji and Xuande are friends! ”

"Second, Liangzhou is now barren, you can borrow a county land and Gongtun soldiers, if you can be self-sufficient, you can stay at will! If so, the public is a borrowed guest!"

"Third, there are many talented people in Xuandegong's subordinates. If you want to be used by our state, the counties in the army can be placed! When he is on the table again, he will take the public as the history of Liangzhou! However, if this is the case, the public needs to be the minister of Sizhou! ”

In front of people's families, it is also a great insult to ask for a male lord to be a minister, fortunately, Deng Ji said it first, the atmosphere was quite harmonious before, and it was not good to cause trouble casually under the fence, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reluctantly swallowed this breath and did not make a sound.

Deng Ji paused for a moment. Waiting for Liu Bei to digest it almost completely, he said again: "Friend, guest or minister." It's all about the public! ”

Such ugliness is said in front, let the choice be made independently, leaving a lot of leeway, Deng Ji is not bad at treating Liu Bei's remnants, even Ma Teng, who has no connection, can't help but substitute himself into the role and seriously consider the gains and losses for Liu Bei.

The rest of Sizhou Tian Fengtai Shi Ci and other civil and military forces were all proud at this time - this point of remnants of the army was insignificant to Sizhou, it was up to him to choose, only Zhao Yun stared at Liu Bei and the others replied.

How can Liu Bei, who thinks he is also a hero, be willing to be someone else's courtier? The history of the Liangzhou assassin is only a vacancy, and there is Deng Ji in Sizhou, if the civil and military forces are scattered, I am afraid that there will be no room for maneuver, Liu Bei almost didn't think about the minister's strategy, and only vetoed it in an instant, but the other two strategies were a little undecided, and turned their eyes to Mi Zhu and Sun Qian, wanting to get some hints.

Deng Ji's intention is that if he just borrows land to live temporarily, the money and grain need to be prepared by himself. Since the master said that Liangzhou was deserted, it can be imagined how the boundary lent to his own troops was, and it was only a county, and the princes of the world were afraid of the fourth-class people of Sizhou.

Then you can only be friends, not to mention your identity, and you still have a chance to grow.

When Liu Bei looked over, Mi Zhu had already understood his intentions, attended with a long body, and also saluted Deng Ji on the main seat, and asked: "If the two families form an alliance, I don't know where the general wants to give Liu Envoy?" ”

Mi Zhu's words are Liu Bei's meaning!

It turned out that he was also a hero, just to gain power and power, what did he say for the country and the people? Zhao Yun gently brushed aside his face, a little lost melancholy, but also a sense of relief.

I said softly from the bottom of my heart, my Zhao Yun's vision is not as good as Tai Shici, nor is it as good as Tian Yu.

It is not surprising that Liu Bei made such a choice, Tian Feng and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and Deng Ji on the main seat sighed: "Xuande wants to be a friend, and there are three places to choose!" ”

After the three strategies, there are still three places to choose, Tian Feng, Jia Xu and others did not interject, it can be seen that Chang'an was very well prepared before, and Mi Zhu gave another gift: "I want to hear the details!" ”

Deng Ji replied: "In the land of the party in the state, the Wuwei army has been leaked, and it will be transferred back to Hedong in a few days. If Xuande Gong goes, he will write to Pang Zhen and make him occupy the party with his subordinates! ”

Although there is still Zhang Yan in front of him, the clear-eyed people know that once Gongsun Chan is defeated, the Montenegrin thieves who hastily occupied the state will definitely not be Yuan's original enemy, and Yuan's army will go south with several victories, and it will be difficult for the party to defend.

This is only the first piece of land given by Sizhou, Mi Zhu Suli waited for the following, Deng Ji said again: "Sizhou Henan County, east of Bishui Pass, there are no soldiers to guard, in recent years, there have been gradually defeated soldiers entrenched, intercepting and killing attacks to harass merchants, a very bitter, if Xuande Gong goes, you can collect thieves and soldiers for use, and you can also get the benefits of merchants!" ”

Liu Bei and others all the way to the west, Henan County is the place that must pass, since Deng Ji entered the Luoyang, the east of the Bishui Pass Sizhou military horses have always been less managed, before the reluctance to enter the customs of the big families changed to Cao Cao, this place gradually occupied by a small group of defeated soldiers.

Although thieves gradually appeared, the Central Plains merchants who traded with Sizhou were very profitable, and Cao Cao also had a need and did not prohibit it. In order to prevent thieves, merchants often gathered a brigade of thousands of people to travel back and forth.

If Liu Bei can occupy a foothold in Donghenan County, he can support the sergeants just by collecting merchant tolls, which is indeed a good territory. It's just that there are businessmen and thieves but no people to occupy this place, there is no danger to defend on a smooth road, and you have to face Cao Cao, Liu Bei only left Xuzhou in embarrassment, and there are still lingering palpitations about Cao's army's combat strength, how can you easily go?

"In addition to these two places, Sizhou can still send troops and horses to help each other and discuss Zhang Ji together. So that Xuande Gong can take Wancheng to raise himself! ”

Hear the last piece of land given by Deng Ji. Liu Bei, Mi Zhu, and Sun Qianju all lit up!

Nanyang County has jurisdiction over 36 counties. Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were more than 3 million people, both the number of counties and the population were the highest in the world, and Wancheng also had the largest iron smelting in the Han Dynasty. Although the natural disasters for many years have passed, there are many people in the north who have fled to Jingzhou, and now there are still nearly two million people, which is not very ruined, if you can get Wancheng, you can at least control the northern part of Nanyang County. There will be a steady stream of money and food to replenish it.

If you can occupy Wancheng with the support of Deng Ji, you need to beware of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, but if you don't break the strong army of Sizhou first, Cao Jun will not dare to attack Nanyang with all his might; Liu Biao and his own family are also members of the Han clan, and although there are many soldiers, their combat power is low, and they have to devote their main energy to guarding against the sworn enemies of the rising Jiangdong Sun clan, and they do not dare to attack with all their strength.

It's just that Liu Bei and the others are puzzled. As the seat of the first county in the world, Wancheng is also one of the most powerful cities in the world. Zhang Ji has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and his own Dong Zhuo's subordinates, most of his subordinates are from Xiliang, and they have always been known for daring to fight.

There is no need for a single soldier to the east of Shangdang Bishui Pass, but Wancheng is still in the hands of others!

If you really have to control the northern part of Nanyang County, Deng Ji is willing to give this treasure land to his own family?

Take Wancheng, as long as Liu Biao does not change, he will get half of Nanyang County, and the previous half of Shangdang Donghenan County, the three choices given by Deng Ji are all half of the county, but in terms of value, they all live in Nanyang!

They didn't know that Liu Bei was anxiously waiting to be summoned These days, Deng Ji, Tian Feng and other ministers have also discussed carefully, although there are many choices given today, Nanyang is the place that Liu Bei wants to choose the most.

It's a strategic effort!

Recently, Yuan Shao requisitioned a large number of people to the north, and swore to level the city with the stupid method of digging ditches and filling the soil, although it took time, but it was steadily advancing inch by inch, Zhang Yan was busy stabilizing and the state had no time to save the emergency, Gongsun Zhan was unable to turn back, and his destruction was imminent; Cao Cao took advantage of Deng Ji's battle against Xiliang to ask for the will of the Son of Heaven and went to Shouchun Yuan Shu in the west of the day.

What these two have done is to relieve their worries and prepare for a future war with Sizhou!

Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao in the east, Liu Biao in the south. At the beginning of Liangzhou, the princes bordering Deng Ji, only Zhang Lu was not enough to trouble, the rest of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were strong, Cao Cao was hard-working, Liu Biao was rich in money and food, and there was a big threat.

The strong army in Sizhou is here, and the Kanto region may really stage the story of the Warring States period to resist Qin.

Deng Ji doesn't want to be Dong Zhuo and Li Dao!

During the Warring States Period, the Qin State was still divided horizontally, but Deng Ji was no different from Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, the enemy of the whole world, and he had no ability to win over discord.

In the previous arrangement, Zhang Yan and Pang Zhen in the state slightly blocked Yuan Shao, and then got to reach Cao Mengde at the Bianshui Xiongguan, there was always a barrier, but Liu Biao in Jingzhou was helpless for the time being.

Zhang Ji occupies Liu Biao's land, although the surface is a mutual enemy, but in fact has secretly formed an alliance, if the future really shows the worst situation, the three join forces, Liu Biao does not need to send troops to attack, as long as Zhang Ji let go of the road, Cao Jun can avoid Bishui Pass, from Liang County to attack.

Therefore, even if Tai Shici and the other four armies are tired and plan for the future, they can no longer let Wancheng be in the hands of hostile forces, and there will be no last battle to take Wancheng.

Fortunately, although Zhang Ji can fight, he has no resourcefulness, and Jia Xu has already arranged it in front, so he is not afraid of too many casualties.

Before Liu Bei came, Deng Ji had already been able to take Wancheng, but he could take it but couldn't defend it!

Deng Ji's own hatred value is high, if the Sizhou military horse occupies Wancheng, within a year, Cao Cao and Liu Biao's two families will fight to the death, Sizhou has no energy and no military horse to defend Nanyang, it is better to stay in the hands of Zhang Ji, who does not deal with Liu Biao on the surface. Now that Liu Bei is here, he is an inconspicuous figure, and he came forward to occupy Wancheng as a buffer, and Sizhou gave some support, which was better than Zhang Ji.

If it weren't for that, this piece of land would not have been given to Liu Xuande in vain anyway.

Although he is confused, and he also has worries about whether he can eat the chestnut in the fire, Liu Bei is not an ordinary person after all, and if he occupies Wancheng, he will have the capital to have the opportunity to succeed in this troubled world!

For the fat meat sent to the door, Mi Zhu chin, Sun Qian Jian Yong closed his eyes and was intoxicated, Guan Yu Zhang Fei Chen to Mi Fang's eyes were revealed, and Liu Bei gave a big salute again: "There is General Lao, fortunately everyone!" Prepare for the Sizhou to guard the land of Wancheng to repay the great favor! I only hate my own soldiers and widows, if Cao Mengde and Liu Jingsheng have a large army to attack, I hope that the general will send reinforcements to help! (To be continued......)
