    Chengdu, Prince Shu¡¯s Mansion.

    Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, summoned all the civil and military officials under his command and showed everyone his Majesty's imperial edict.

    After a while, Liu Zhang asked gloomily: "What do you think about this matter?"

    "My lord, Liu Bei is a despicable villain. He defrauded us of 10,000 troops and captured Hanzhong in this way. Now it seems that he has colluded with Cao Cao's thieves. That's why he was appointed the governor of Hanzhong! I wish you  Lead the army to attack!" Fei Guan was very angry.

    After Cao Cao proclaimed himself King of Wei, Liu Bei was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to lead 10,000 troops to the Northern Expedition.

    But who would have thought that his purpose was to protect the country of the Han Dynasty?  It is clear that he wants to conquer the world for himself and achieve hegemony.  After capturing Hanzhong, His Majesty directly made him the prefect of Hanzhong. No one would have thought that Liu Bei and Cao Cao should have colluded for a long time.

    "My lord, although Uncle Bin is right, Liu Bei won Hanzhong without a single blow. Now he has fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses. In addition, Yang'an Pass and Wakou Pass have dangerous terrain. The city of Nanzheng is tall. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu have ten thousand men.  Zhuge Liang is unstoppable and has unpredictable abilities. If he attacks, it will only increase casualties!" Wang Lei, who was engaged in the attack, retorted.

    "The king only saw one, but not the other!" Huang Quan stepped out and saluted Liu Zhang, "My lord, although Liu Bei had many soldiers and brave generals, he was defeated in three ways!"

    "Gongheng, what are the three defeats?" Liu Zhang asked anxiously.

    "Although Liu Bei has 50,000 or 60,000 troops, 10,000 of these 50,000 are from Yizhou, and the rest are all surrendered troops from Hanzhong. Such soldiers cannot work together as one, and this is the defeat of the army.  Yes! Zhang Lu has been running Hanzhong for many years, and the people's support is stable. However, when Liu Bei took Hanzhong hostage, he took Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and other family members hostage, which greatly lost the people's support. This is a defeat of justice! The Lord treats Liu Bei like a brother, and they are both Han  However, Liu Bei betrayed his lord, was ungrateful, and had collusion with Cao Cao's thieves, making him unworthy of being your majesty's imperial uncle. This is the defeat of Zhongzhong! With these three defeats, even though there are many brave generals, Hanzhong cannot be defended!"

    "Gong Heng's words make sense!" After hearing Huang Quan's words, Liu Zhang nodded.

    "My lord, although Gong Heng's words are reasonable, he has forgotten that Liu Bei's position as governor of Hanzhong was conferred by your majesty!" Wang Lei said.

    "His Majesty's title?" Liu Zhang frowned upon hearing this.

    He just ignored this meaning. Although everyone knows that the current imperial edict is Cao Cao's intention, if it is blatantly violated, it would be treason!  I am a member of the Han clan. If I send troops to attack Hanzhong, it will be against His Majesty's imperial edict. This

    "My lord, your majesty's decree can no longer leave the palace. This is all Cao Cao's will!" Fei Guan didn't care about the imperial decree at all.

    "Yongnian, in your opinion" Liu Zhang asked Zhang Song.

    "My lord, General Yang Wei is right. Your Majesty's imperial edict is actually Cao Cao's intention. But even so, if we send troops, we will be accused of rebellion. At that time, if your Majesty issues another edict, let Jingzhou  If we and Jiangdong attack us, Yizhou will be in danger!"

    After listening to Zhang Song¡¯s words, Fei Guan and Huang Quan both pondered.

    Nowadays, the majesty of the imperial court has become weaker and weaker, and the princes everywhere are obeying the announcement but not the transfer.

    But if they received an order to attack Yizhou, would they still sit back and ignore it?  No!  By then Jingzhou and Jiangdong will definitely use weapons!  Who would give up something so beneficial?  Although Yizhou has a dangerous terrain and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we fight with three parties at the same time, we will definitely lose.

    "My lord, Liu Bei is actually not a problem!" Zhang Song continued, "Hanzhong is a battleground for military strategists. Once Cao Cao recuperates for a few years, he will definitely go south. And he has learned the lesson from the last time and will not attack Jingzhou again.  We will target Hanzhong. By then, Liu Bei will be our barrier! However, we must also guard against Liu Bei. We should increase the troops at Baishui Pass, Jiange and Bajun to completely trap Liu Bei in Hanzhong!"

    "Yongnian's words are very good!" After hearing these words, Liu Zhang felt much better. Hanzhong was not his in the first place, but now it was just replaced by Liu Bei from Zhang Lu. He had nothing to lose, "Uncle Bin, Gong Heng  , increasing the number of soldiers and horses in Jiange and Baishui Pass to 20,000. Jiange has Zhang Ren as the chief general, Gao Pei and Yang Huai as deputy generals. Baishui Pass has Deng Xian as the main general, and Wu Ban Wu Yi as deputy general."

    "No!"

    "My lord, recently, Pang Xi, the governor of Bajun, has been seriously ill and may not be able to take on this responsibility" Wang Lei added.

    "Gongheng, is there a suitable candidate in Ba County?" Liu Zhang asked again.

    "My lord, you can let General Yan Yan be the governor of Ba County and General Lingbao be the captain of Ba County! With these two here, Ba County will have no worries!"

    "Okay, youGive the order!  "

    "No!"

    Yuzhang, Wuhou Mansion.

    After the imperial edict came here, Sun Quan was happy, but also full of worries. He immediately summoned Gu Yong, Lu Fan, Lu Xun, Zhang Zhao and others.

    "You all take a look at His Majesty's imperial edict!"

    Zhang Zhao took it over first, and after reading it, he frowned slightly.

    "My lord, this imperial decree is obviously Cao Cao's intention. Although he made Zishan the governor of Jiaozhou, he deliberately made Huang Zhong the prefect of Cangwu. The purpose is to provoke a dispute between our two families!"

    Cao Cao¡¯s intention was very obvious and everyone could see through it at a glance.

    "Then now, is the position of Cangwu Governor really going to be given to Huang Zhong?" Sun Quan looked very unwilling on his face. They captured Jiaozhou!

    "Lord, if it were someone else, we could give in, but Huang Zhong, absolutely not!" Lu Fan also firmly objected, "Huang Zhong is the number one general in Jingzhou. If he is stationed in Cangwu, then Jiaozhou will not be safe!  "

    "My lord, I have a way to prevent Huang Zhong from taking office!" Lu Xun looked very confident.

    "Bo Yan has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly!"

    "If Jingzhou wants to get to Cangwu, it must pass through Wuxi. We can give Wuxi barbarian king Shamoke some property and food, form an alliance with him, and tell him that if Liu Cong of Jingzhou wants to seize Wuxi, Shamoke will definitely do it.  It's a good precaution and won't let the Jingzhou soldiers pass through Wuxi easily. If the two sides are in a stalemate, Buzishan can send troops to block it, so that Huang Zhong can't reach Cangwu."

    Sun Quan nodded after hearing this.

    "My lord, although Boyan's method is wonderful, we are allies with Jingzhou. If we openly help Samoko, it will be unjust. What's more, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different. The Wuxi barbarians are not trustworthy, just like the mountain crossing.  Likewise, when you are strong, you will definitely get your hands on Jiaozhou!" Zhang Zhao objected, "Actually, we don't need to pay attention to him, he will still block Liu Cong in Jingzhou!"

    "Zi Bu's words make sense!" Sun Quan nodded. With the character of Shamoko, the barbarian king of Wuxi, how could he allow Huang Zhong to lead his troops through Wuxi?  Liu Bei's false plan to destroy Guo was enough to attract everyone's attention.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
