"You know that Liu Bei is eyeing Yizhou, why do you still persuade the lord to help him with food, grass and ordnance?"

Late at night, after the rally, Jia Long and Ren Qi met privately.

Ren Qi smiled: "You seem to be too stubborn about one thing." ”

"What?"

"The lord of Yizhou may not be Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, but also Liu Bei."

Jia Long's pupils shrank suddenly: "You ......"

The meaning of these words has been fully revealed, Ren Qi is not loyal to Liu Zhang, and is even ready to welcome the new master.

Although Liu Zhang was originally a puppet supported by them, it is still unacceptable to change the court at will, after all, the values of people in this era are still loyal to the monarch, and they have not yet reached the level of abolishing the monarch at will.

Ren Qi didn't care about his strange eyes, and said indifferently: "Don't forget, you and I are Hanchen, and the Han Dynasty has been passed down for four hundred years, why can't it be passed down for another four hundred years?" ”

"The Han Dynasty has long been deeply rooted, and now it is the destiny of heaven to rise in the troubled times of the Liu family."

said so much, in fact, it was for himself to have a legitimate reason to join Liu Bei in the future. If it weren't for Liu Bei's great power, he would never take care of this so-called Hanchen's body.

Some people are born to be die-hard, some people will depend on the situation, and some people will never be loyal to anyone, they only care about their own interests.

Jia Long was speechless for a moment.

Ren Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you really want to die for a weak and incompetent king?" ”

"Let me think about it...... Think about it again......"

Jia Long hesitated, slowly turned around and left Ren Qi's mansion, but the moment he left the mansion, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.

[You think you have long-term vision, but you are just clever and mistaken by cleverness. No monarch would like to betray his lord's ministers at will, even Liu Bei, who prides himself on being benevolent and righteous, and is a corporal of courtesy. 】

[And I, on the other hand, was forced to surrender under your bewitchment, not disloyalty. 】

This is what Jia Long thinks in his heart, and it is also the voice of his heart that will never be spoken.

There is no such thing as an unshakable alliance in this world, only common interests can last...... The Shu Sergeant Clan only needs one leader.

……

"Do you think he'll say yes?"

After Jia Long left, an unexpected person appeared in Ren Qi's mansion, and this person was Jian Yong, who was on this mission.

As an emissary, his mission is not only to convey the monarch's intentions, but if he were to do so, he would not be a qualified diplomat.

It must be known that many years ago, the diplomats under the Guigu Gate were very comfortable between the seven countries.

Even if he Jian Yong can't be like Su Qin and Zhang Yi, he must not be mediocre.

So, after he came to Shu County, he got in touch with Ren Qi. The two are considered concubines and hit it off.

Ren Qi shook his head and said, "Jia Long has always been thoughtful, although I have worked with him for many years, I can't guess his thoughts. However, judging from his reaction, he is not yet loyal to Liu Zhang. ”

Jian Yong nodded, and then smiled and said: "If the prime minister wins Shu County, my brother will be the first merit, and the prime minister will definitely be rewarded." ”

Ren Qi also smiled: "I still hope that the virtuous brother will speak well in front of the prime minister for his brother." ”

"It's nature."

Jian Yong naturally would not refuse, but he knew very well in his heart that Liu Bei would only reward Ren Qi with a title of vain but no real power.

……

"What, Yan Yan was beheaded?"

As soon as Zhang Ren set up camp here, he was shocked when he learned that the vanguard army was defeated and retreated, and the pioneer general Yan Yan was beheaded.

Yan Yan has always been steady, which is why he specially made a statement to Liu Yan and recommended the other party to be a vanguard general.

"Jia Long is so good, could it be that I underestimated him?"

Zhang Ren muttered to himself, he had already learned the course of this battle, although the enemy army had set up an ambush, Yan Yan did not enter the ambush circle.

In other words, the enemy army defeated Yan Yan head-on, and it only took a few hours.

"General Yu, it was not the rebels who defeated the vanguard of our army, but the soldiers and horses of the imperial court."

"The soldiers and horses of the imperial court?"

"General Yu, that army and horses used the banner of the imperial army, and now they have set up camp outside Shu County."

Zhang Ren was even more shocked, Liu Bei fought all the way to the south and the north, and was never defeated, and the soldiers and horses under his command were also known as the strongest army in the world.

If it is Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, it is not surprising, these soldiers of the Northern Army who have experienced a hundred battles, but even the fierce Xiliang Army have been defeated, and there is still a gap between the Dongzhou Army and these border armies.

Zhang Ren quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Do you know who is leading the troops and how many troops there are?" ”

Although there is some disdain for Jia Long Renqi for colluding with outsiders, it is obviously not the time to talk about this, and the top priority is to figure out the deployment of enemy and enemy forces.

"They are flying the [yellow] flag, and their strength is about 20,000 people."

Yellow?

Huang Zhong!

After the battle of Guanzhong, Liu Bei had many generals under his command, and they were all famous all over the world. And Huang Zhong, who took the head of the enemy general a hundred steps away, is known as the first magic arrow of the Han Dynasty.

Although the other party only had 20,000 people, Zhang Ren did not dare to be careless, and the 20,000 elites were even more powerful than Liu Zhang's 100,000 army.

Now that the problem is in front of us, we are already in a dilemma.

If you are attacking the city, you have to guard against Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses from backstabbing you.

If he retreats from the army, how should he explain to Liu Yan?

"General, the eldest prince is here."

The doorman came to report.

"Hurry up, please."

Zhang Renzheng had a headache, and his eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard the words. Almost everyone knows that Liu Fan is Liu Yan's successor.

With him, the problem should be better solved. And I heard that Xu Shu next to the eldest prince is a resourceful person, and he may be able to make any useful suggestions.

As everyone knows, Xu Shu is also facing his own problems.

As a Jinyiwei background, his mission is to split Yizhou and put Liu Yan and Liu Zhang in a stalemate.

Now that this plan is partially complete, the real difficulty has come: how can he continue to maintain this state?

Can you let Liu Fan see his ability, but at the same time not let Huang Zhong be defeated?

Xu Shu realized that it was more difficult to win and be undefeated than to win a battle. In fact, he had the intention of showing what he had learned, but the situation did not make people as he wished.

"What! Liu Bei's army came to Yizhou quietly? ”

Liu Fan's reaction after learning the news was the same as Zhang Ren's, and then he said angrily: "Shameless Jia Long Renqi, he actually colluded with outsiders. ”

"They knew that they were not the opponents of the lord, and asking for help was inevitable, but they didn't expect Liu Bei's soldiers and horses to come so quickly, as if they knew all this in advance." Xu Shu quickly entered the state and said with a solemn face.

He found himself getting used to wearing a mask, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it off after wearing it for a long time.

"Does Yuan Zhi have a plan to teach me?"
