Seeing Dong He showing embarrassment, Liu Jing came forward to rescue him and introduced the ministers in the hall to him.

Liu Jing is now under his command, and he is full of talents. He is also a member of Zhuge Liang, Pan Jun, Xu Shu and others. In addition, he is in charge of Weizhen Prefectures and counties, Pang Tong, Wang Can, Li Yan and others are in the hearts of the people who are in the heart and plan their affairs. He is known for his reason for his reason, and Lai Gong, Deng Xi, Liu Xian, Han Ji and others are known for his art. He is elegant and has Sima Hui, Han Song, Fu Xun, and Xi Zhen, and is famous for his reputation... He is handsome in the country, and the talented people in Jingzhou are so prosperous that it makes Dong He sigh.

Since the chaos in the world, Yizhou has been stable and prosperous due to its dangerous mountains and rivers, and has also received a large number of northern talents. Although the overall number is not as good as Jingzhou, it is not far from that of Jingzhou.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhang was cowardly and suspicious, and his talent was not a hero. Although he was generous, all the people who were traveling to join him were treated as a guest, but he did not know how to use it, which made it difficult for talent to show their ambitions and a lot of hidden dangers.

After only a short period of time when Liu Bei entered Shu, his strength expanded to the point where he aroused the vigilance of the monarchs and ministers of Yizhou, which is not unrelated to this.

After introducing the ministers, Liu Jing invited Dong He to sit down, and asked bluntly: "Liu Yizhou sent his first trip to Xiangyang this time, but I don't know what happened?"

"Report to the general, we came to discuss the great thief who is fighting against the country." Dong He sat up and replied, "There is a demon thief Zhang Lu in Shu who relies on the ghost path to deceive people. This is a great harm to the country. He is still not satisfied with stealing Hanzhong. In recent years, he has repeatedly launched troops to attack Luba, Shu, Yizhou, and many of the people of Yizhou were slaughtered by demon thieves. In the past, Zhao Wei rebelled inside, and the envoy was unable to take the opportunity to look north. Now Yizhou is stable and the soldiers are fully equipped, so the envoy can no longer tolerate Zhang Lu to harm Ba, Shu. The envoy will soon raise 100,000 Yizhou people to attack Hanzhong and kill Zhang Lu."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly when he heard this. Dong He didn't mention Zhang Lu's process of starting a family. If it weren't for Liu Yan's strong support, how could Zhang Lu could have seized Hanzhong? Zhang Lu rebelled against Yizhou because Liu Zhang killed his mother and family without his arbitrarily. Unfortunately, Liu Zhang overestimated himself and underestimated Zhang Lu. He failed to beat the tiger and was injured by the tiger. Today, Yizhou is in chaos, no wonder others, it was purely Liu Zhang's fault.

Seeing that Liu Jing was silent, Dong He continued, "Zhang Lu entrenched in Hanzhong and fooled the people and barbarians with ghost paths. It has been more than ten years since then. In Hanzhong, the people only know that there is a demon master Zhang Lu, but not the emperor of the country. The general and the envoy are relatives of the Han Dynasty, and have always had the ambition to save the world and the people. How can they bear the Han people, enslaved and harmed the demon thieves?"

Liu Jing was not easy to respond to. Wang Can was quick-witted and reacted very quickly. He took the lead in saying: "It's ridiculous! The general entered Jingzhou and thought that he was close to Liu Yizhou and was close to the branches and leaves. He occupied the land of thousands of miles. Now the Han Dynasty is in danger and the country is covered with dust. Chu and Shu should work together to support the country. However, Liu Yizhou has no distance and rejected the request for the alliance of Jingzhou. He is determined to defend Ba and Shu. He ignored our advice and insisted on taking Liu Bei in his actions. Liu Yizhou has no idea of ​​relatives. How can he face the general for help?"

Dong He couldn't help but say that taking in Liu Bei would be more beneficial than disadvantages for Yizhou. He just talked about refusing the alliance. When Liu Jing and Sun Quan of Jiangdong formed an alliance to fight against Liu Biao, the end of Liu Biao, as soon as Liu Biao died, Liu Jing immediately pointed the butcher knife at Sun Quan, the former ally. Yizhou should be glad to reject Liu Jing's request for alliance, otherwise Yizhou might be the one who suffered today.

Liu Jing broke the silence and asked, "I obey the people who came back from Shu that Liu Yizhou used Liu Bei to defend Baishui Pass and resist Zhang Lu. This time he attacked Hanzhong, did Liu Bei lead the troops?"

Liu Jing and Liu Bei had a deep hatred. Dong He was not surprised that Liu Jing asked this question, but he replied calmly: "No, this time the envoy will personally lead the army north to fight against Zhang Lu. Liu (Bi) Yuzhou is only the front of the army."

Liu Jing sighed: "Liu Yizhou knows that Liu Bei and I have a grudge, but he still wants to lead me as a helper. Don't you think it's a tough guy?"

Dong He said: "If you want to build a big event, you should not avoid small grievances..."

Pang Tong immediately interrupted his words: "This is what you say to Liu Yizhou. If Liu Yizhou could remember his merits and forget his mistakes, how could Zhang Lu betray him?"

Dong He ignored Pang Tong's provocation and continued to say to Liu Jing: "The general and Liu Yuzhou are both heroes of the royal family. Now the world is not yet determined. The two heroes are fighting each other. Wouldn't it hurt the relatives and the enemy be happy?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "What you said is reasonable. In the past, Emperor Gaozu endured the crime of Yongchi's betrayal, and Emperor Shizu explained the grudge of Zhu Yu's killing brother. Although I was not as good as Gao, the second ancestor of the world and the country, he was willing to give up his personal grudges for the time being. The problem is, I am not a good alliance with Liu Yizhou, so how can I send troops to help?"

Dong He often heard that Liu Jingying was the best in the world in Shu, and he always compared himself to the world. Today, he looked at it and it was indeed the case. He shook his head and said, "All alliances cannot be decided by the following."

"Then please return to Shu as soon as possible and report back to Liu Yizhou." Liu Jing then said with some meaning: "You should know that Zhang Lu's envoy is currently in Xiangyang."

When Dong He heard this, his expression changed slightly. It was best if Liu Jing sent troops to help him when he asked in Yizhou. He could also watch him on the wall, but he could not turn to Zhang Lu.

Although Liu Jing's words may be just a means to force Liu Zhang, they are enough to make the whole country of Yizhou tremble and everyone is afraid.

Dong He calmed down and said, "I will keep the general's words in mind. After returning to Chengdu, I will report them to the envoy truthfully."

Dong He was full of thoughts and was as heartbroken as an arrow. Soon after, he offered his farewell to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing couldn't help but get up and see him off. Later, he summoned Zhang Lu's envoy.

Liu Jing's strategic direction is in the east and north, so Liu Zhang, who was in the west, was regarded by Liu Jing as the target of winning over and fighting for him early, but Liu Jing did not want to see Liu Zhang seize Hanzhong and unify Yizhou.

The reason is very simple. Liu Zhang is not qualified as a monarch. In front of Yizhou, there were Zhang Lu and Zhao Wei rebelled and counterattacked Bashu. Later, there were Li Yi and Pang Xi were arrogant and had hidden unexpected ideas. Even these ordinary people, Liu Zhang could not control them. How could he control Liu Bei, who had the "spirit of Emperor Gaozu and the weapon of heroes"? Liu Bei established his base in Hanzhong. Liu Jing would probably find it difficult to concentrate on dealing with Sun Quan and Cao Cao in the future.

Maintaining the status quo is the most in line with Liu Jing's interests, so even if he forms an alliance with Liu Zhang this time, Liu Jing will not send troops to help.

Although Zhang Lu only had one county, Hanzhong received refugees from Guanzhong and Nanyang, and had 100,000 households, tens of thousands of soldiers, and was blessed with religious support. The soldiers were brave and fearless and had strong combat power.

In history, Cao Cao expelled Ma Chao and took Han Sui, and then promoted 100,000 elite horse stances. He was heading to Hanzhong in the south. It took nearly a year to force Zhang Lu to surrender and completely pacify Hanzhong.

I believe that without his own support, Liu Zhang and Liu Bei will never have the possibility of conquering Hanzhong in the short term.
