Chapter 603: Partition
Wei Yan didn't know what Liu Bei and Liu Ji were talking about, only that more than two hours had passed, and there were even Liu Ji's personal soldiers who wanted to break into the hall, and when they were confronting Wei Yan and others, Liu Ji and Liu Bei finally came out......
Seeing Liu Bei after removing his makeup, General Chen Cang, who was originally confronting Wei Yan, couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
looked at Liu Bei incredulously, and ...... Next to Liu Ji!
Qi Hou is still alive? And "Qi Hou" is also next to it?
Liu Ji could vaguely see traces of crying at this time, and as for Liu Bei, his face was clean - but Wei Yan had also heard that Liu Bei's crying was something that the rain could ask for.
People are professional, so ...... Even if I really cried, I can't see it now!
"Send an order to send someone to send an urgent letter to General Guan and the military division of Chang'an...... Let them come back and plead guilty! Liu Ji said solemnly.
Liu Bei on the side still didn't say anything, but Liu Ji turned to Wei Yan at this time and said, "Master Wei has worked hard and has prepared a resting place for you and you......
"No, they still have to protect Xuande Gong." Wei Yan smiled heartily, but his gaze was unrelenting.
All going to rest?
It doesn't exist, if Liu Bei dares to say that he doesn't need "protection", now the surrounding soldiers dare to go up and pull a grenade and die with him, so that he never needs protection!
This is also what Fa Zheng had told him before......
In the current situation, no prince can be trusted, especially an old fritter like Liu Bei.
After all, now Liu Ji still looks like he is really convinced, what if Liu Bei repents on the spot?
Although Wei Yan didn't think that Liu Bei could do anything in Chen Cang at this time-they were not Chu State, wait for them to inform Qing Xu? Even if the letter is delivered by General Jin Yu in person, it will only arrive in a month or two!
There is only the state of Chu, which can react so quickly, in a month or two...... Xuzhou has long since changed hands.
And Liu Ji was also staring at Wei Yan at this time.
Wei Yan faintly felt that this guy was not at all like before, when facing himself, or facing the Chu State he represented, he was so troubled by gains and losses, but he had a look that was not strange to order "take" at any time!
But at this moment, Liu Bei took the initiative to speak: "Since you want to be Qi Hou, then do a good job of the last shift!" I ...... with Master Wei Have a candlestick and talk at night. ”
Seeing that Liu Bei took the initiative to retreat, Wei Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Ji was not reluctant, but still lived in the main courtyard of the Chencang Military City Official Office that night.
"How did Xuande Gong persuade Liu Ji?" In the evening, Wei Yan really talked with Liu Bei at night.
"Without him, it's just the Qi Marquis who recognized him." Liu Bei said lightly.
This matter is said to be "light", it is really light, after all, it is about to be voted to Chu, and even if it is the King of Qi and the Emperor of Qi at that time, it will not be reserved.
However, if you say "heavy", even if it is the last few days, this is a kind of recognition of him by Liu Bei...... Or rather, a test.
Replaced by Wei Yan, now he has definitely repaid his fists!
Now Liu Bei and Wei Yan are worried about Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang......
I hope that before the urgent letter is delivered, there will be no mess - if Guan Yu can still listen to Zhuge Liang's persuasion, there should be no big problems.
On the other hand, in Xuzhou, the surrender of the state of Chu...... Or rather, "co-optation", which is obviously smoother.
After all, what was conveyed to Xuzhou was that Liu Bei was already in the Chu State!
Moreover, Zhang Fei was already lonely and separated from the Xuzhou Shi clan.
Whether it is to co-opt Zhang Fei or go to Pengcheng to persuade a group of Xuzhou scholars, it is very easy.
With Liu Bei's handwritten letter, Zhang Fei didn't hesitate much, but for the sake of insurance, he still sent someone to Pengcheng directly according to Jia Xu's suggestion, and at the same time ordered Zhang Fei to stand still in Xiapi.
Instead of asking for his own life, he would persuade and take over Pengcheng......
What if there is any code in Liu Bei's letter?
Sima Yi stirred up this pool, the Guanzhong of the Wei State can be said to have been reached, and the Chu State is too late to take advantage of the chaos to intervene, Qingzhou, which is closer to the Wei State, will not be able to keep it nine times out of ten, Yuzhou ...... Mainly in the area of Xuxian and Yingchuan, you can also fight.
At this time, if the Chu State just took the opportunity to attack Xichuan and let Xuzhou go, it could only be said that it would not lose or gain, and it would have to take Xuzhou to be regarded as not "losing" to the Wei State in this journey.
After all, Sima Yi had been in contact with Wei from the very beginning, and this advantage could not be changed.
It is possible to achieve this step thanks to the use of wireless precision reporting!
At the beginning, it only took half a day to send news from Hanzhong to Jinling - because the threshold for the use of wireless precision reporting is somewhat high, so in addition to Jinling and other focused places, other small places are not on duty in real time, but only contact at a fixed time period.
Later, due to the urgency of the situation, there were people on duty at the beginning, and almost instant communication was realized.
Otherwise, before the Chu State reacted, the Wei State, which had already secretly communicated with Sima Yi, would really have a good chance that it would directly grasp the chassis of the original Qi Hou, and at most the southern part of Xuzhou could be taken by the Chu State.
However, whether it was Sima Yi or Wei Guo, they obviously didn't expect that if Chu State became serious, at least in terms of news, it would be a real "thousand miles in a moment".
There are even Zhenqi rail locomotives to transport troops on the main road, and the movement speed of the Chu army in the territory is also extremely fast, obviously it is still in the first month, and the weather is still very cold, but the garrisons of Jinling Road and Jiangdong Road only need three days to enter Huainan Road, and the front army will arrive in seven days...... Basically, even the logistics are in place!
At this time, Chen Deng was in charge of Xuzhou - nominally he still supported Liu Chan, but in fact a group of local scholars controlled the military and government.
Chen Deng's second son, Chen Ying, has been following Bai Tu since the period of the General's Mansion, and the Chen family now has a branch in Jiangdong.
As expected, the Xuzhou Shi clan ...... to the state of Chu Generally acceptable!
Although they were a little greedy, the "Dashi clan policy" of the Wei State, they could not deny the fact that the Chu State was closer to them, not to mention that since Liu Bei was still alive, Zhang Fei must have been in contact with the Chu State.
With the strength of the Chu army, Xiapi directly surrendered to Chu, how could Pengcheng be defended? Pengcheng can't defend it, what is the meaning of Xuzhou's stubborn resistance?
Moreover, among Pengcheng, there are also Liu Bei's supporters, who were able to successfully expel Zhang Fei before, mainly because he was stupid, and after the news of Liu Bei's death came, he made bad moves one after another, causing the Xuzhou scholars who were eager to Liu Bei to be "dragged down" by Zhang Fei.
At the same time, the state of Chu also urgently sent a letter to Deng Ai, who had been in office in Nanzhong for more than a year - although Nanzhong and the mainland of Chu were also connected on the map, they were all wilderness and mountains, and the density of the city was too low, and there was not enough city Ji to assist, and Huang Tianji's signal could not pass, so he could only rush over from Jinghu South Road!
Although Deng Ai's arrival was short, nearly two years earlier than planned, it was not bad to take advantage of this opportunity to capture Xichuan in one fell swoop......
