"So that..." Liu Bei breathed a long sigh, a little upset.

As the left general and the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Bei had reached the peak of his strength and reputation that he had never reached in his life. Over the past period of time, he has been trying to win over the generals of Guanzhong, attack Hanzhong, and control Yizhou. These step-by-step measures have also been promoted in an orderly manner, and everything is under control. But while he is ambitious, he always has the concern that changes will occur at any time.

After all, Cao Cao's military use was always deceitful and unpredictable. Whether it was Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang or Pang Tong, the budget he made always had its limits. If the general of Guanzhong failed quickly under Cao Cao's military strategy, Guanzhong would really be connected with Hanzhong. By then, Yizhou was in danger, how to deal with it?

Liu Bei murmured: "It's time to go!"

Pang Tong bowed deeply: "Lord, you must be as soon as possible!"

During these days, envoys from Jingyi and the two states have been discussing cooperation between the two sides. The first step was that Lei Yuan's troops entered Shu in advance to enrich the defense of the Micang Road to block the southward passage of Cao's army in Hanzhong. Lei Yuan did a good job in Brazil, which made the interested people in Jingyi and the two states very satisfied. As Fazheng and others even insisted that Zitong and Brazil should be completely entrusted to the Jingzhou army. For a time, the calls for the Jingyi Alliance were rampant.

However, it was precisely because of Lei Yuan's performance in Brazil that some people who opposed the alliance between Jingyi were more cautious about the power of Jingzhou. Since they gradually became unable to reverse Liu Zhang's reliance on Jingzhou, they changed their course and boasted about the good fighting of the Jingzhou army. They repeatedly told Liu Zhang that with the reputation of Xuande Gong, only by leading thousands of troops into Shu was enough to solve Zhang Lu.

This is something that Liu Bei's side did not want to agree. After all, his target was not Zhang Lu. He only brought thousands of people into Shu. If there was any case, wouldn't he be trapped in a trap? Therefore, for the sake of the military force, both sides tried each other several times, but never made a decision.

However, now it seems that Cao Cao's movements are as tight as he takes. Guanzhong and Hanzhong's change of hands are close to him, so he can no longer delay.

Although there were a fewer thousands of people, our side did not have corresponding plans before. As long as it was properly operated, it would be enough to suppress Liu Zhang.

For example, in Fucheng?

According to the previous agreement, after Liu Bei entered Shu, he would go against the river to Jiangzhou, and then from Dianjiang to Fucheng. Liu Zhang would also lead his troops to Fucheng. The two sides would join forces to patrol the northern border and intimidate Hanzhong. Pang Tong proposed to seize Liu Zhang directly at the scene of the alliance between the two sides, and then use Liu Zhang's banner to quickly go south to open up all the key passes and take direct access to Chengdu.

Previously, Liu Bei only regarded this plan as the final choice just in case. He felt that even if he turned against Liu Jiyu, he should buy more time to first let himself in-depth contact with local forces in Yizhou and promote the policing with kindness... This is what Liu Bei has always been good at, and he has achieved excellent results in Xuzhou and Jingzhou.

But Cao Cao's movements were so fast that Liu Bei could not delay it. Thinking that the thousands of Xiahou Yuan's men were hiding somewhere in Guanzhong, like a sharp blade about to be stabbed, which would destroy the power of the generals in Guanzhong... Liu Bei felt nervous uncontrollably.

As Pang Tong said, when you are in chaos, you cannot be harsh on benevolence and righteousness when you act. When necessary, you must attack both the weak and the ignorant, and the reverse will be obedient and obedient. The key is how to act so that you can take into account both the name and the truth.

At this moment, Pang Tong pondered for a moment and had an idea: "Lord, we might as well do this. On the one hand, in accordance with the request of Yizhou, the lord personally led thousands of troops into Shu and went directly to Fucheng. On the other hand, Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others found ways to cover up. We mobilized troops to scatter into Brazil County in the name of supplementing the losses of Lei Yuan's troops. In this way, in case of emergency, Lei Yuan's troops may either go west to Langzhong to support me, or go south to Dianjiang to guard our army's retreat."

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded: "You should do this matter as soon as possible. Be cautious and low-key, and do not arouse the vigilance of Yizhou. The troops used should be easy to command. Well, it is better to take the headquarters of the Lei family in Lujiang."

"yes."

"Also..." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

After suddenly knowing Cao Gong's plan, Liu Bei felt a little nervous. This tension caused his moral principles to conflict violently with his ambitions of hegemony. One of them seemed to be shaking, as if it would stir up storms in his heart at any time.

He maintained a dignified and self-sustaining attitude and spread his hands gently. The cool morning breeze passed through his sweaty fingers and palms, bringing some coolness. His five fingers were thin and long, with clear muscles and bones, and extremely powerful. The tempering of decades of military career made his palms and fingertips covered with thick calluses. Because after bathing this morning, his palms were very clean, even if the cracks in his nails were spotless.

He looked at his palm and whispered: "I have thought about the way you said before, to capture Liu Zhang in one fell swoop. This is a big matter, you must not be hasty... you must follow the trend."

"Lord?" Pang Tong showed a confused expression.

Time waits for no one, so it really cannot be delayed. Pang Tong is very sure, and Liu Bei also understands this, so he agreed to only lead thousands of people into Shu. The scale limit of thousands of people determines that after entering Shu, some special measures must be taken.

But why did Liu Bei say something? It should not be hasty? What does the so-called follow-up trend mean?

"I heard that if the name is not right, the words will not go well; if the words are not right, the things will not go well." Liu Bei said slowly.

Pang Tong thought for a moment, and suddenly showed an expression of admiration.

No matter how urgent the time is, Duke Xuande will not shake his kindness that he has always insisted on. No matter how fierce the measures he will take in Yizhou, first of all, there must be a suitable reason; if the Yizhou people cannot block the leisurely mouth, even if they seize Yizhou, they will not be able to stabilize Yizhou, and it is even more difficult to rely on the power of Yizhou to go north to compete with Cao's army.

Therefore, the situation of such soldiers being small and small is a good preparation. If some of Liu Jiyu's subordinates have evil thoughts and then take certain actions to infringe on Liu Bei, it would be like taking the initiative to relieve Liu Bei of his moral burden.

As for whether Liu Jiyu's subordinates would act like this and how they would act specifically, Liu Bei did not need to pay attention to it. As a military advisor and general, Pang Tong, who was directly responsible for the affairs of all kinds of things during his entry into Shu, naturally had the responsibility and the ability to arrange them clearly.

Pang Tong suddenly figured it out. It turned out that he had always misread Liu Bei.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Bei is often bound by benevolence and righteousness, so hesitant to advance and retreat, and often misses opportunities. But in fact, this is not the case. Liu Bei is meticulous and has the courage to break the deadlock in extremely complex situations. He is not afraid of failure at all, and dares to give it a try. Those gentle and gentle performances are meticulous and meticulous, and they are sure not to be disguised in the future.

And the more he disguises, the more everyone believes in his benevolence, righteousness and morality; so the next time he lets go, the benefits will be even richer.
