When Fang Shao and the others heard this, they immediately let out a long breath, and their faces showed a relieved excitement.

Pang Tong said confidently: "Don't worry, the 20,000 newly collected Yizhou soldiers have been bought by us, Liu Zhang is defenseless, and the ten personal soldiers he carries with him are even less to worry about. ”

Liu Bei nodded, a smile barely appeared on his solemn face, and said lightly: "If it succeeds, it will be all your work, so it's hard for everyone, go and arrange it." ”

Fang Shao and the others left separately, and passed Liu Bei's order to the generals, who were also excited when they heard that they were going to act tonight, so they secretly deployed troops and horses in rows. Huang Zhong and others, in the name of drinking, invited some local generals who were not very attached to them, so as not to make trouble when they started.

When the night fell, the night was approaching, and the noisy sound of eating, drinking and drinking meat did not sound in the barracks as usual, but it was just a normal fire to make food, which looked normal, but for the Jingzhou soldiers who had been eating and drinking for more than two months, they felt a little unaccustomed.

When the last rays of the sun set, the banquet was almost set up, just waiting for the arrival of the protagonist Liu Zhang.

In the empty tent, Liu Bei stood in front of the screen, staring motionlessly at the topographic map of the Han Dynasty hanging on the screen, his eyebrows were cold, his expression was solemn, and there was a complicated look in his eyes.

Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou...... There are three parts of the world, and the second one is already surnamed Cao. Half of Jiangdong is indisputable, only those few corners and corners of the remote places remain.

Liu Bei's gaze swept on the map from north to south, and the old things in the past also appeared in front of him one by one, more than ten years of ups and downs, lost a lot, and what he obtained, in addition to the name of benevolence and righteousness, was only the half of Jingzhou's land that was attacked on all sides.

Pathetic? Is it pathetic?

Think about the loyal subordinates who have followed him for so many years, Yun Chang, Yide, Zilong, and the Mi clan who were originally rich, but they invested their blood in themselves, with the talents of these people, if they follow Cao Ying, at this moment, fame and fortune must be in their bodies. And what can I give them, Taishou? In? It's pitiful, and even his own land in Jingzhou is borrowed from others.

His eyes turned to Yizhou again, a vast land, the wealth and danger he saw along the way, always made him envy Liu Zhang, the incompetent rich second generation, how many times he had assumed that if this country of abundance was given to him earlier, how could the trend of the world be like this.

Incompetent people, just by virtue of your background, you can easily sit on the wealth of the family, and I, Liu Bei, have the ability to be benevolent and righteous for most of my life, but I am still struggling for an inch of land, and even do not hesitate to become your thug.

Why! Do you have a good background?

It's not fair, it's not fair!

Liu Bei's fist slammed into the screen, and his eyebrows were full of resentment.

"Lord, Liu Zhang has arrived."

I don't know when, Fang Shao walked in, but in his calm tone, there was an uncontrollable excitement.

Liu Bei's body stiffened for a long time, and suddenly he raised his head to look at this side, his eyes were filled with a terrifying murderous aura, and even Fang Shao was secretly surprised.

Following Liu Bei for so many years, Fang Shao had never seen him have such a strong killing intent, however, Fang Shao liked this kind of murderous aura, a person with murderous aura could achieve great things, and the murderous aura in Liu Bei's eyes made Fang Shao see hope.

"My lord." Fang Shao saw that Liu Bei didn't respond, so he called again.

Liu Bei took a deep breath, picked up the matching sword, his expression returned to calm, and said coldly: "Let's go." ”

Liu Bei led Pang Tong and others out of the camp to greet them, but Liu Zhang still did not have any awareness, and this trip still only brought a dozen personal soldiers to this farewell banquet, of course, there was also a Zhang Song.

The two of them had a big drink a few days ago, and now they have only been separated for three days, but they are like a young couple who have been separated for half their lives, and they cry out for missing each other as soon as they meet, and the brotherhood is so sincere that the little soldiers around who don't know the truth almost shed tears.

The two brothers walked into the tent hand in hand, and after sitting down, Liu Bei took Liu Zhang's hand and said reluctantly: "Ji Yu, you and my brother are rare to see, why don't you get together for a few more days, and you will be separated so soon." ”

Liu Zhang patted the back of his brother's wrinkled hand and sighed: "Zhang also wants to get together with Brother Xian for a few more days, but in the past two months in Fucheng, there is a backlog of business at home that I need to deal with, and I have to go back." ”

Liu Bei said regretfully: "Now that I am parting, I don't know when my two brothers will be able to get together again." ”

Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Come and say Fang Chang, after Brother Xian has repelled Zhang Lu and Yizhou turned the corner, Zhang will invite Brother Xian to come to Chengdu to reunite, and then the two of us brothers can have a good time." ”

Liu Zhang is reminding Liu Bei, eldest brother, you have eaten and drunk for so many days, and you have taken so many benefits from me, don't get dizzy and forget the purpose of my invitation to come.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said confidently: "Ji Yu, don't worry, Bei is not even afraid of Cao Ying, not to mention that it is just a Zhang Lu, and as soon as he prepares to go out, that Zhang Lu will be frightened and collapse when he looks at the wind." ”

Liu Bei vouched for Liu Zhang, although he was a bit of a braggart, but to be honest, Liu Bei, who had played tricks with Cao Ying and Lu Bu, and Zhang Lu, an unpopular character, really couldn't get into his eyes.

Liu Zhang was relieved when he heard Liu Bei's words, and he hurriedly raised his glass and said: "Brother Xian will be relieved to say this, this cup of Zhang respects Brother Xian, and I wish Brother Xian a triumphant soon." ”

Liu Bei also raised his glass and said, "Be prepared to live up to your expectations of Ji Yu." ”

The two then praised each other again, seeing that the banquet was coming to an end, but they still didn't see Liu Bei send a code.

Fang Shao and the others below became more and more anxious in their hearts, and after a few people secretly glanced at each other, Pang Tong suddenly said loudly: "Liu Yizhou, my lord worked hard to fight Zhang Lu for you, but I don't know what benefits can be achieved after winning the battle." ”

Pang Tong's sudden words, begging for benefits again and again, were extremely straightforward, which made Liu Zhang a little embarrassed on the spot.

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Liu Bei, and saw that he was expressionless, and he didn't seem to be displeased with his subordinates' abrupt words, Liu Zhang was a little dazed at this time.

Pang Tong deliberately wanted to force Liu Bei to make a move, but seeing that Liu Bei didn't have any angry reactions, he had a little bottom in his heart, then stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord of the family let Xiangyang not fight, and came all the way to Shuzhong, and my Jingzhou soldiers also left their wives and children to lick the blood for you Liu Yizhou, Liu Yizhou, you are also a person who knows etiquette, and you will not let me wait for you to die for you." ”

Pang Tong's words were already quite rude, and Liu Zhang obviously didn't realize what the problem was, and thought that Pang Tong was just drinking up the nonsense, so he temporarily suppressed his displeasure at the moment, and said with a smile: "What's this...... We are all our own family, and it doesn't hurt the feelings of Master Pang to say this. ”

Fang Shao under the seat could see that Liu Bei's acquiescence to Pang Tong's wanton words showed that he had actually made up his mind, and he would be silent just waiting for Pang Tong to pave the way for him.

So, Fang Shao was not willing to be lonely, stood up Teng, and said loudly: "My family Pang Junshi is right, Liu Yizhou, you are also a sensible person, and you should also know the truth of 'knowing the grace of retribution', my lord of my family is working hard for you, a fellow clan, and a person who has never lived in life and has not had any festivals, are you really embarrassed to accept the favor calmly and do not know the return?" ”

In the face of the aggressive trend of these two Jingzhou strategists, Liu Zhang was a little flustered in addition to being inexplicable, and when he looked at Liu Bei again, this virtuous brother who was still extremely enthusiastic was cold at the moment, just drinking silently, and he had no intention of stopping his subordinates' rude behavior.

At this time, Liu Zhang seemed to start to feel bad, so he had to pretend to smile and say, "How can I, Liu Zhang, be a person who knows how to repay my kindness." Rest assured, as long as I can drive away Zhang Lu's invasion, I will give Liu Jingzhou and you as well as the officers and soldiers of the three armies with all the money and goods in the treasury. I will also treat those soldiers who unfortunately die in battle, and I will never let them die in vain. ”

Fang Shao sneered: "It seems that Liu Yizhou, you are really rich, but, according to what you say, my lord and I have become the greedy people of Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Zhang was stunned at this moment, and said in a panic: "I didn't mean that, Fang Zhi misunderstood, but don't want money, what do you want." ”

Fang Shao sneered and stopped talking. At this time, it was Fazheng's turn to appear.

This famous man who is not reused in Fufeng, now that he has finally reached the moment of raising his eyebrows, how can he not seize the opportunity to repay the loss.

So, he got up and walked up to Liu Zhang, and said unhurriedly in a tone like abducting and selling children: "Lord, don't you understand, the lord sits in Yizhou but is helpless to take a Zhang Lu, what does this mean, it shows that the lord you can't protect the people of Yizhou, rather than this, why not give up this position and hand over this Yizhou to Liu Jingzhou to be in charge." ”

Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard this, jumped up, pointed at Fa Zheng and reprimanded angrily: "Okay, you Fa Zheng, how dare you be so rude, are you impatient!" ”

As soon as Liu Zhang got angry here, Zhang Song, who was beside him, was busy pulling it away, and said kindly: "The lord is angry, and the law is filial piety, so can't you say it tactfully." But then again, Liu Jingzhou is a hero who moves the world, and the scholars and the people all yearn for it, compared to it, the lord is indeed slightly inferior, according to Song's opinion, the lord should not give Yizhou to Liu Jingzhou. In this way, the lord can be a rich man with peace of mind, and he doesn't have to worry about being scared all day long. ”

"Zhang Song! You-you-"

Zhang Song's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Liu Zhang's thunder tender inside and out, and he was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. He really couldn't figure out if these people in front of him were crazy, why they were so good before, but now they suddenly turned their faces and didn't recognize people, saying such crazy things.

Suddenly, Wang Lei's words flashed through his mind, Liu Zhang's face turned pale in an instant, and he turned his gaze to Liu Bei with difficulty, with a certain pleading color in his eyes, as if begging his virtuous brother to hurry up and stop these people's rudeness.

However, Liu Bei's actions made him desperate, this originally kind person, but at this time he became extremely cold, he looked at Liu Zhang indifferently, slowly stood up, was silent for a long time, and said coldly:

"Ji Yu, I'm sorry."
