There were more than 60 officials who surrendered in Xichuan, but Huang Quan and Liu Ba were missing.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly sent someone to inquire, and it turned out that the two of them were closed and did not come out, just asking for death. Liu Bei was high-spirited, and he was not bad for these two talents, and symbolically asked people to go and persuade them to surrender, but the result was the same, and the two of them just refused to show their heads.

Liu Bei was very annoyed, and almost ordered to kill these two, Zhuge Liang cherished Liu Ba's talents, persuaded him several times, analyzed the pros and cons, and said how heroic Huang Quan was, especially that Liu Ba, the talent of the world, and so on.

Liu Bei is still in a state of expansion. Zhuge Liang patiently said again, especially that Liu Ba, can not be under Pang Tong. Pang Tong died because of Liu Zhang, but the lord got Liu Ba because of Liu Zhang, providence!

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he finally put down the shelf, and together with Zhuge Liang, he personally went to invite Huang Quan to Liu Ba.

After being invited several times, Liu Bei was sensational, Zhuge Liang was eloquent, and the two had no way out, so they finally surrendered.

As soon as he settled down, Liu Bei took the post of Yizhou pastor and began to reward the ministers of Shuzhong. Yan Yan is the former general, Fa Zheng is the Taishou of Shu County, Liu Ba is the left general, Huang Quan is the right general, and the rest of the people also have their own rewards. Since then, all the officials in Shuzhong have returned to obedience with peace of mind.

The newcomer was rewarded, and the old man can't forget that Zhuge Liang is still a military commander and was rewarded with a mansion. Guan Yunchang was named General Dangkou and Marquis of Hanshou Pavilion; Zhang Fei was the general of the conquest and the marquis of Xinting; Zhao Yun is the general of Zhenyuan, Ma Chao is the general of Pingxi, Huang Zhong is the general of Zhengxi, Wei Yan is the general of Yangwu, and the official positions of the rest of the people have also been improved, so they are naturally rejoicing.

Being prepared for danger in times of peace is what the saint does, and under the good form, some unpleasant things still happen.

Liu Bei has developed from living in a small Xinye County to owning two large territories of Jingzhou and Yizhou, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and a lot of baggage, completely getting rid of the situation of being poor and white, and his temper has also grown.

Liu Bei wanted to give the Shuzhong Tianzhai to everyone, but Zhuge Liang did not agree, and Zhao Yun also echoed and said no, which would lose the hearts of the people. Liu Bei was very unhappy with the actions of the two and reluctantly did not carry out the matter.

Fa Zheng was proud of his achievements, and he made the mistake of reporting flaws, and he successively reported hundreds of people who had a holiday with him, and nearly 1,000 people were implicated, and people were panicked. Zhuge Liang was simply stunned, and reprimanded Fa Zheng and made him rein. Liu Bei thought that Zhuge Liang's approach was too radical, and he was even more dissatisfied in his heart.

Ma Chao proposed to raise troops to attack Cao Cao to avenge his father. Liu Bei said that the timing was not right, and did not agree, Ma Chao insisted that now that there are many soldiers and food, and morale is inspiring, it is time to kill Cao Cao in one go.

Liu Bei is also very persistent, Cao Cao is intricate, the foundation is quite deep, and he still needs to think about it in the long run, and think about it in the long run! Ma Chao was speechless, feeling that he had been tricked, and he was in a terrible mood.

Zhuge Liang saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, although he also knew that Liu Bei had opinions about himself, but with enough perseverance and patience, as well as Hong Yanyan's loyalty, and the continuous maneuvering regardless of the return, Shuzhong finally stabilized.

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's edict and revised the code to prepare for the future emperor.

Speaking of Xu Du's side, Cao Cao heard that Liu Bei had taken Xichuan and led Yizhou Mu by himself, and the shock in his heart could be imagined, his toothache was on fire, and his whole body was uncomfortable. He patted his head and said with remorse: "Liu Bei's wings are full-fledged, and if you want to completely eradicate it, it will be difficult. ”

"My lord, I have a plan to make Liu Bei and Sun Quan kill each other and weaken their strength." Jia Xu happened to be there, offering advice.

"Tell me about it!"

"Sun Quan and Liu Bei once left a legacy in the land of Jingzhou, and if they did not follow the holy decree to seal all the land of Jingzhou to Sun Quan, Liu Bei would definitely be reluctant. The two will have a grudge because of this, and the two tigers will fight, and the prime minister can profit from it! Jia Xu said.

"That's it." Cao Cao nodded.

Liu Bei's power is so strong, Cao Cao's memory is not covered, and the previous bits and pieces have made him go through his mind, and he began to suspect that Wang Baoyu was fooling him about who was the king.

In the final analysis, this kid is still thinking about his feelings with Liu Bei, and deliberately diverts his attention, otherwise, if he sends troops early, Liu Bei may not be able to take Yizhou smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and because of Jia Xu's strategy, Jiangdong's army finally retreated. Since he couldn't defeat the north for a while, Sun Quan began to study the strategy to move westward, asking Liu Bei for Jingzhou.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Cao called Wang Baoyu to the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and talked about wine, Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Baoyu, now that your righteous brother Liu Bei already owns the land of Yizhou, do you want to go and see him?" ”

"Lao Cao, when did it become so unrealistic, this is not like your style." Wang Baoyu squinted.

"Hehe, I'm not thinking about Baoyu Renyi, and I'm worried."

"You don't have to test me, I just want to go north." Wang Baoyu said.

"Alas, Baoyu, you made me miss a good opportunity to see Liu Bei become bigger. The previous Zhang Lu was called the king, and it was nothing that you coaxed me! Cao Cao sighed.

What should come will still come, Wang Baoyu was shocked. Liu Bei's capture of Yizhou is a big deal, how could he hide it from Cao Cao, and with his shrewdness, he will definitely doubt the words of the previous astrologer.

For this reason, Wang Baoyu was uneasy for a long time, but he didn't think of a good explanation, so he could only adopt delaying tactics. The scalp is hard, the mouth is even harder, and he resolutely can't admit it, and insisted: "Whether I lied to you or not, I will have my own verification in the future." ”

"What kind of verification is needed, now Liu Bei is afraid that it will be difficult to be the king if he doesn't want to." Cao Cao sighed.

"I'm still saying that, if you don't believe me, kill me. But I am very sure that Liu Bei will never send troops to attack you because I am dead. Wang Baoyu said.

Cao Cao was amused by Wang Baoyu's words and said: "Baoyu can also see it thoroughly, Liu Da'er's guy is the most ruthless and unrighteous person. ”

"So, I and him are just face-saving matters, and I have to rely on Lao Cao you!" Wang Baoyu hugged his fist.

"I naturally remember the matter of going north, Zhang'er occasionally contracted the wind and cold, and he was still in the middle of the river, and he waited for a few more days." Cao Cao said casually, but his eyes were staring at Wang Baoyu to see if he could see the flaws in his weak heart.

Coincidentally, at this moment, someone hurriedly came to report that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong declared to the outside world on the occasion of the New Year that he had established himself as the king of Hanning, and at the same time claimed to be the true monarch of Guangde.

Cao Cao was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his seat, and said very depressedly: "Zhang Lu, this guy is extremely ignorant, how can he dare to be the king!" ”

"Lao Cao, finally prove that I didn't lie to you, whether to be the king or not, it depends on whether he has the heart, although Liu Bei and Sun Quan are powerful, but, I dare to say, the emperor will not be the king if he reigns for a day." Wang Baoyu breathed a long sigh of relief, that was old and proud.

"I really wronged Baoyu before!" Cao Cao said curtly.
