Yizhou Governance Office Chengdu, in the state pastoral mansion.

Liu Bei lay comfortably on a soft chair, looking at the graceful posture of the dozen singers in front of him, with a satisfied smile on his face. Once upon a time, this kind of life is the goal of Liu Bei's struggle, for the sake of fine clothes and food, for the glory and wealth, Liu Bei has gradually left the heavy responsibility of Kuang Fu Han behind, and the perennial life of exile has tormented Liu Bei painfully, and now Liu Bei is no longer the Liu Bei who served under Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei at that time had two self in his heart, one worked hard to help the Han, and the other worked hard for glory and wealth, and the former, occupies a relatively important position in Liu Bei's heart, and to this day, Liu Bei, who has obtained the entire Yizhou and most of Jingzhou, only has the one behind him in his heart, and the one in front has been killed by himself in the back.

Holding a glass cup, Liu Bei took a sip of wine comfortably, his eyes began to blur under the urging of alcohol, and with a look of desire, he glanced at the most beautiful singer. Perhaps Liu Bei is really the King of Zhongshan Jing, and his demand for fine wine and beautiful women at the moment is not inferior to that of King Jing of Zhongshan, who gave birth to more than 100 sons in his lifetime. Perhaps, this point is also inherited from Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang before he became the emperor, and Liu Bei's situation was almost the same, he was displaced all day long, and he was killed by the overlord Xiang Yu and abandoned his armor, but no matter where he goes, as long as he has leisure, Liu Bang will enjoy the fun of life, and all kinds of wine and women have become the best spices in Liu Bang's life. From this point of view, Liu Bei and Liu Bang are really similar, both of them have ordinary backgrounds, they were at the bottom of the society before they started the army, once they gain power, they will inevitably start to enjoy it even harder, as if they want to make up for the hardships they have endured before.

In fact. Before Liu Bei won Jingzhou, he already had many wives, but Liu Bei had no fixed place to live, and died one after another with his wife, and now only two are still with Liu Bei, one is Mrs. Gan, who is his original partner, and the other is Mrs. Mi, that is, Mi Zhu's sister, these two ladies. Mrs. Gan's skin is like jade, her appearance is delicate, she is known as a white jade beauty, and Xinye left Liu Bei's first son, Liu Chan, nicknamed Adou; And Mrs. Mi is twenty years old, more than thirty years younger than Liu Bei, and she is also a stunning beauty, Liu Bei married Mrs. Mi, although mainly to win over Mi Zhu. got a huge fortune from the Mi family, but it is difficult to say that he has no intention of coveting Mrs. Mi's beauty, presumably if Mrs. Mi looks average. Or if it is ugly, Liu Bei will definitely not marry her.

With these two beautiful ladies by his side, Liu Bei once had a very happy time, but time has changed. Even if it is a white jade beauty, Liu Bei enjoys it a lot, and there is no freshness. Therefore, Liu Bei rarely goes to the rooms of the two ladies now, and he uses more "energy" on those young and beautiful singers. Now looking at the bumpy figure of the glamorous singer in front of him, Liu Bei's heart began to stir again.

Just as Liu Bei was about to take action to let the singer accept the irrigation of his energy, a burst of inopportune footsteps interrupted Liu Bei's reverie. Fa Zheng hurriedly walked in, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the full house of singers, he stopped moving again and stood aside with his hands down.

Seeing Fa Zheng's expression, Liu Bei waved his hand lazily, letting the singers enter the back hall, and then slowly picked up the glass cup, handed it to his mouth, and asked Fa Zheng: "What's the matter?" Although Liu Bei has been a little corrupt, he deeply understands that the reason why he can enjoy the beauty and wine he wants to enjoy every day is the welfare brought to him by power, so Liu Bei is still relatively diligent in handling political affairs, because only by making Yizhou and Jingzhou as stable as Mount Tai can he enjoy more beauties and wine.

"My lord, Cao Cao raised 150,000 troops, and went to Hanzhong day and night, looking at the situation, he wanted to take Hanzhong in one fell swoop." Fa Zheng hurriedly answered Liu Bei's question, although he was a little unaccustomed to Liu Bei's greed for pleasure, but after all, most of Liu Bei's series of decisions after he became the master of Yizhou were relatively correct, and Liu Bei was not negligent in political affairs while enjoying himself, which was much stronger than Liu Zhang, so Fa Zheng and other old officials in Yizhou were still very respectful and respectful to Liu Bei, and they did their best to do things.

Boom - the wine that was about to reach his mouth, because Liu Bei's hand shook, and all of it was spilled on the clothes on his chest. Liu Bei stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Cao Cao is going to use troops against Hanzhong?" When did this happen? "Because Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, and the road into Sichuan is rugged, resulting in a closed message, and Liu Bei does not have a shadow agent like Ao Lie's hands, so it is only now that Fa Zheng reported the news, and now, it has been ten days since Cao Cao sent his troops.

Fa Zheng replied: "My lord, this is already news ten days ago, and now Cao Jun must be about to reach Hanzhong. ”

"So fast?" Liu Bei's eyebrows gradually wrinkled together, and he muttered. Hanzhong was originally a part of Yizhou, the number Dongchuan, and Yizhou's local alias Xichuan and called the east and west two rivers, the two rivers are connected to each other, the mountains depend on each other, although Hanzhong Zhang Lu entered Kou Xichuan for many years, but in fact, the two rivers are dead lips and cold teeth, if Dongchuan falls into the hands of Cao Cao, then it is equivalent to opening a door to Cao Cao, he can enter Xichuan at any time, this is by no means the scene that Liu Bei wants to see. Moreover, with Liu Bei's ambition, he has long regarded Hanzhong as a bag, just because he has been in Xichuan for a short time, the internal clean-up work has not been completed, some of the problems left over from Liu Zhang's era have not been completely solved, and some officials who are friendly to Liu Zhang have not been cleared up, Liu Bei has only suspended the military operation to attack Hanzhong, but he did not expect that at this time, Cao Cao actually stabbed a knife, which made Liu Bei feel intolerable.

Raising his head to look at Fa Zheng, Liu Bei asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Zhang Lu in Hanzhong?" Fa Zheng shook his head and replied: "I have just received the news that Cao Cao sent troops, and I haven't had time to investigate Zhang Lu's movements. ”

Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with Fa Zheng's answer, his face was gloomy, and he snorted: "Then what are you waiting for, immediately go and find out the news from Hanzhong, this matter is wrong, Cao Cao came with great fanfare, Zhang Lu has no reason not to prepare at all!" The calmer it is, the more it means that something is wrong! Check, check thoroughly! Report Zhang Lu's movements and Cao Cao's march route to this mansion as soon as possible! ”

Fa Zheng agreed, and then hurriedly turned away. After Fa Zheng left, Liu Bei also lost the interest of instilling "energy" in the singer, looked to the east with gloomy eyes, and said in a low voice: "Cao Cao, you are finally here, when you were in Shouchun, you and Ao Mohan cooked wine and talked about heroes, and looked down on the people of the world, this time, I Liu Bei will let you understand that in addition to you Cao Cao and him Ao Mohan, there is another hero between heaven and earth, that is, I Liu Bei!" ”

At the same time, in the Taishou Mansion in Hanzhong, Yang Song, the most relied on strategist by Zhang Lu, was pouring ecstasy soup into Zhang Lu, and he sang praises to Zhang Lu, and praised Zhang Lu's achievements in governing Hanzhong for more than ten years, coaxing Zhang Lu to smile and praise Yang Song as a rare loyal minister.

As early as a few days ago, Guo Jia sent a man of good speech to Hanzhong, went straight to Yang Song, and gave Yang Song 500 catties of gold, so that Yang Song could try to blind Zhang Lu's ears and eyes, so that Cao Cao could enter Hanzhong, Guo Jia also promised Yang Song, as long as Yang Song let Hanzhong's defense be lax, so that Cao's army could easily conquer Hanzhong, then after the matter was completed, Sikong Cao Cao would protect Yang Song as Jiuqing, and would send him another thousand gold gold. After discussing with his younger brother Yang Bai, Yang Song thought that this was a good opportunity to tie up with Cao Cao, and he could gain fame and fortune, so he decided to do what Guo Jia instructed.

This pair of brothers who sold the lord to seek glory, for the official position and gold promised by Cao Cao, so they did a competent internal response, and the blinded Zhang Lu still did not know that Cao Cao led an army of 150,000 to come, and lived a life of drinking and drinking every day in Yang Song's sycophancy.

When the secret agent sent by Fazheng came to Hanzhong, and finally learned what Zhang Lu had done through many means, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Zhang Lu for being a loser, and then hurriedly rushed back to Chengdu to inform Fazheng of Zhang Lu's situation. After Fa Zheng learned about it, he almost vomited blood without being angry, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he hurriedly told Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also angered by Zhang Lu's ignorance and ignorance, he was really not afraid of god-like opponents, but of pig-like teammates! The east and west are dependent on each other, relying on each other, even if there is a fight, it is an internal contradiction that occurs behind closed doors between their brothers, but Zhang Lu, the "own brother", is simply too stupid, so easily fell into Cao Cao's way, seeing that his net worth is not guaranteed, he is still drinking and having fun! It doesn't matter if Zhang Lu is dead, but the key thing is that Hanzhong must not fall into Cao Cao's hands! Otherwise, Liu Bei will become passive.

In the past few days when Fa Zheng sent people to inquire about the news, Liu Bei had prepared soldiers, horses, food and grass just in case, and now that he learned that the situation was critical, Liu Bei could no longer sit still, so he immediately gathered his men and horses and rushed to Hanzhong at the same time, vowing to take Hanzhong into his own hands. This expedition, Liu Bei can be said to be the home battle, he took advantage of the geographical advantages of the people, a few days to gather 200,000 troops, with the army, there are Zhang Fei, Chen to, Fa Zheng and other more than 30 outstanding civil and military officials, only from Cao Cao's side to return to the Yu Ban left in Chengdu, in order to prevent Cao Cao from being used by Cao Cao. For Liu Bei, this campaign is very crucial, so this time, he can be said to have poured out of the nest. (To be continued......)
