Liu Bei closed the military report in his hand, some placed in front of him, and some placed on the edge of the desk.

The one on the edge of the Shuzuo who was kneeling beside him read it quickly, then held a pen and briefly recorded the content of the military newspaper on the bookmark made of cow bones, and then took it to the wooden rack to sort it out.

During these days, military newspapers have been coming from all over Yizhou every day. The long wooden frames on the right side of the case have been stacked half full, and the wooden boards in the center are a little sunken. When the army is in a state of chaos, it is difficult to find a suitable replacement tool for a while, so Shu Zuo put two old lacquer boxes under the wooden board to support it.

At this time, the Japanese military convention was coming to an end. Thinking of the military newspaper just now, Liu Bei said with emotion: "Although Ma Chao is extremely brave, his subordinates are mostly mobs and have no constraints. His military power seems to be invincible, but because what he had encountered before were all the same mobs. When he met Xuzhi's troops, he was well-trained and had high morale. He first defeated his sharpness and then defeated his army. He could tell if he won or lost his victory or defeat."

Several people in the hall laughed.

Li Yan smiled and said, "Who would have thought that a fierce man like Ma Chao suddenly went south, but he only added a merit to General Xu Zhi?"

After careful calculation, Li Yan was probably the first Yizhou general to stand on the side of Duke Xuande. As early as the magistrate of Zigui County, he had a tacit understanding with Jingzhou, but the matter was confidential and could not be publicized; and the turmoil in Fucheng was caused by Li Yan. Later, he followed Duke Xuande to defeat Mianzhu and entered Chengdu, and was disobedient.

At this moment, anyone with a discerning eye can understand that Duke Xuande and Liu Jiyu are allies, but in fact the pattern of master-subsidiary is determined; and Li Yan has been more valued with his contributions and hard work these days. At this moment, he can participate in the discussion of military strategy and will inevitably have a broad future in the future.

Li Yan is a good at managing and has long been able to find out the situation of the civil and military officials of Liu Bei. He knew that Zhao Yun was Liu Bei's confidant, and General Fenwei Lei Yuan was Zhao Yun's son-in-law. At this moment, Zhao Yun was here, and he flattered Lei Yuan for a few words, so he could also bring in the relationship with Liu Beiyuan's generals. Unfortunately, Zhao Yun had a straight personality and had no selfish relationships, so he was afraid that his flattery would have no effect.

Just now, this military newspaper was sent by Lei Yuan from Brazil. Since Liu Bei entered Shu, there has been a daily military newspaper from Brazil, and Liu Bei will definitely watch it carefully every day.

Yesterday, there was a military report that Lei Yuan's troops fought and repelled Ma Chao's troops who were heading south along the Mikang Road. Today, this part has been much more detailed, including the detailed process of the battle, the number of captured and captured, two lists of soldiers who died in battle and soldiers who have made meritorious service. Weighing the numbers, we can imagine the tragic battle at that time, or we can make it clear that this was a rare victory.

Liu Bei said to the left general Ma Liang in a deep voice: "I'll ask Ji Chang to write the story of this great victory as soon as possible. I'll send it to each county to show his military power. Let's disperse."

Ma Liang responded and went to write it. All the civil and military officials had their own affairs and bowed to each other to say goodbye.

There was no one in the hall for a while, and Liu Bei sat upright and did not move.

Not long after, the footsteps in front of the hall were rustling. Looking up, I saw a man with a green robe and a small fan. It turned out that Pang Tong was returning.

Liu Bei stood up and asked, "Why is the military advisor back? Could it be that there is something important?"

Pang Tong bowed deeply: "Just just now, the lord was unstable after receiving Xu Zhi's military newspaper, and was eager to end the military discussion, which was different from the usual... Could it be that the front-line battle situation was unfavorable and there was another mystery in the military newspaper? Or, was Xu Zhi reported in addition to the military newspaper, what situations that made the lord embarrassed?"

Liu Bei sighed: "The battle situation is not profitable, and I shouldn't have any difficulties, but..."

He stretched out his hand and pushed the two silk books on the table, pushing towards Pang Tong: "This is a letter from Xu Zhijun News. Military advisor, take a look."

The Lei Yuan received just now was presented to the military newspaper. It was a bamboo slip. The bamboo slip had been handed over to Shu Zuo to copy and keep, but there were two silk books in the bamboo slip. After Liu Bei looked at the ten lines at a glance, he did not hand it over to Shu Zuo or discuss it with everyone, but put it away quietly. No one present noticed it.

Pang Tong took a few steps forward and did not hurry to take the silk books of the two sides. He looked at Liu Bei's expression carefully, and suddenly laughed and said, "Lord, I already know where these letters of the two sides come from."

Liu Bei was surprised: "Why might a military advisor say it?"

"The affairs related to Xuzhi's military situation in person are nothing more than Brazilian County or along the Yonegar Road. It is worth Xuzhi to be sent in a hurry for 800 miles in the military newspaper, and it is worth the lord's solemn attitude..." Pang Tong poked the silk books on both sides with the handle of the fan: "Or Pang Xi, or Zhang Lu, right?"

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "That's right."

"We say one by one." He first pushed one of them to Pang Tong: "This is a letter written by Pang Xi, the prefect of Brazil, signed by Liu Jiyu. He said that all the military affairs of Brazilian county had been entrusted to Xunzhi, and set off for Chengdu today to persuade Liu Xunxian to surrender."

Pang Xi once served as a counselor in the Luoyang court, and was in love with Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou in the previous year. After Liu Yan passed away, Pang Xi and Zhao Xi supported Liu Jiyu as the lord of Yizhou and became an important minister. Liu Zhang then became a relative of Pang Xi, and the wife of the prince Liu Xun was Pang Xi's daughter.

Although Liu Zhang and Pang Xi had a good relationship a few years ago and were once suspicious of each other, Pang Xi's official position was never as good as the prefect of Brazil; but his qualifications were obvious, so his status among Yizhou's civil and military officials was still extremely high, and his appeal was far beyond that of his peers.

Now that Liu Zhang and Liu Xun and his son have a rift, they have been fighting each other for more than 20 days, and even involved the left general Liu Bei. However, the father and son are father and son after all. After all, this conflict is the family affairs of the governor of Yizhou. If Pang Xi came forward as his father-in-law to make peace, it would be perfect.

Previously, Pang Xi gathered his own power around Langzhong, Brazil, and watched the changes in Yizhou. However, Lei Yuan's record in defeating Ma Chao obviously caused him a huge shock. This old fox, who was full of thought, was finally determined to come out to take the team and make contributions.

"This is a good thing!" Pang Tong raised the silk book and glanced at it and threw it on the table: "Liu Xun and his subordinates have long been dead. The reason why we are not in a hurry to force Chengdu is just to show the lord's benevolence and righteousness and do not want to kill heavily in Yizhou. If Pang Xi takes the initiative to use it for me, with his relationship with Liu Xun, he can easily obtain Chengdu. At this point, Yizhou is a great thing!"

Liu Bei nodded: "That's true. It's naturally a good thing to be able to go down Chengdu without bloodshed."

"Just..." He looked at Pang Tong's swaying the small fan lightly, and he couldn't help but get up and take a few steps back and forth.

At this time, Ma Liang came in: "Lord, the dew has been completed."

"Okay, okay. Ji Chang, let it go first, I'll look back." Liu Bei absent-mindedly asked Ma Liang to retreat. Turning back, he was sure that there was no one else in the hall, so he stood in front of Pang Tong and leaned over and said, "Shi Yuan, I always feel that this entry into Sichuan was too smooth. There were not many real battles before and after, so that at this moment... at this moment..."

Liu Bei frowned and hesitated for a while, but he could not think of how to express his concerns.
