    "The foreign minister Sima Yi pays homage to the King of Shu!" Sima Yi saluted Liu Zhang.

    "Zhongda, the King of Wei asked you to come to see me. What do you mean?" Liu Zhang smiled and sounded very relaxed.

    "King of Shu, you are wrong. I am here to deliver the edict under the orders of His Majesty. At the same time, I am also following the orders of King Wei to form an alliance with the King of Shu."

    "Oh?" Liu Zhang pretended to be surprised, "I wonder what kind of edict your envoy is delivering?"

    "Your Majesty has decreed that Liu Cong build the imperial capital in Luoyang and change the former North Palace into the Palace of the Han Dynasty. His rebellious intentions are clearly revealed and he ordered the King of Shu to send troops to attack the rebels!" Sima Yi said as he took out a  Imperial decree.

    Liu Zhang looked at it, but did not come forward to kneel down. Instead, he ordered an attendant to take the imperial edict, put it on the desk, and stared at Sima Yi's face.

    Sima Yi¡¯s face was calm and not angry at all.

    "Your Majesty, this imperial edict has been accepted, but King Wei is ruling the roost in the north, and I am just living in peace in Shu. So why have we ever talked about forming an alliance?"

    "King of Shu, your majesty's imperial edict, in addition to granting the position of King of Shu, is also to Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu in the east of the Yangtze River, and Liu Bei, the general of the left in the south!"

    "Zhongda, this imperial edict is given to Sun Quan, the Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong, which is reasonable, but Nanzhong is the place in the middle of Shu, and Liu Bei is like a lost dog. How can he be compared with my lord?" Zhang Song listened to Sima Yi's words.  , said coldly.

    "Yes, Liu Bei is just a subordinate of my lord, how can he issue an imperial edict alone!" Zhang Ren was also very angry.

    Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Fei Guan and others also immediately accused Sima Yi.

    "This is your Majesty's intention, how can we lie?" Sima Yi still had that very calm tone.

    "Who doesn't know that His Majesty's decree cannot go out of the palace now? This is probably what King Wei means!" Zhang Song said disdainfully.

    Cao Cao has held the emperor hostage to order the princes for so many years, and today's imperial edicts are no longer as deterrent as before.

    "The emperor's heart is as deep as the abyss and cannot be guessed! Your Highness, King of Shu, since you have accepted the order and you are a clan member of the Han Dynasty, I don't think you will refuse to obey the order, right?"

    "My king will naturally obey the imperial edict, but how to send troops? We still need to discuss the decision with all the ministers!"

    "That's natural, but I wonder if the King of Shu has noticed? Liu Cong is recruiting troops and horses, accumulating grass and grain!"

    "Sima Yi, I think King Wei was frightened by King Han's troops, right?" Zhang Song smiled.

    "Ha" Sima Yi suddenly burst out laughing.

    "why are you laughing?"

    "I laugh at the short-sightedness of all the ministers in Shu. Yizhou is already in a critical stage of survival, but they don't know it!"

    "Sima Yi, don't be rude!" Fei Guan was furious.

    "General Yangwei, let me ask you, why is Liu Cong hoarding grass, gathering grain, and recruiting troops and horses?"

    "Of course we are competing in the Central Plains and competing for hegemony in the world!"

    "In that case, why station a large number of troops in Liangzhou? Isn't it more convenient to station the army in Luoyang when we are competing in the Central Plains?"

    "Thismaybe it's to protect trade routes and trade with the Western Regions" Fei Guan stuttered a little, "Everyone knows that the King of Han pays attention to business."

    "Even if Li Yan's army in Liangzhou is to protect the trade routes, then what is the purpose of Deng Ai's army in Yinping? Where will it go after passing through Yinping?"

    "After Yinping?"

    Everyone in the hall looked serious. After crossing Yinping, it was Zitong!  Could it be that Liu Cong¡¯s purpose is really in Yizhou!

    "The road from Yinping to Zitong is difficult and dangerous, with high mountains and dense forests. Moreover, two generals, Deng Xian and Lingbao, are stationed at important passes. Could it be that Deng Ai can fly over?" Zhang Song knew clearly in his heart that Yinping's army was just for surprise attack.  In order to avoid attracting attention, Liu Cong stationed relatively few soldiers and horses there. Unexpectedly, Sima Yi saw through it and said, "Sima Yi, I'm afraid it's a bit alarmist. All the grass and trees are covered with soldiers, right?"

    "Zhang Biejia, you don't know who Deng Ai is, do you?" A sinister smile appeared on Sima Yi's face, "General Zhenxi, who was personally appointed by Liu Cong, the King of Han, was the first to follow Liu Cong, and he was the best at surprising soldiers. Cross over  Feihu Mountain turned Yuzhou upside down and took advantage of the chaos to seize Yique Pass. Passing Xiao Pass and heading to Beidi County, they made a big detour and captured Tianshui, leaving Hao Zhao and Zhu Ling to surrender in desperation. These battle examples  I think you all know it, right? Difficulties and dangers are nothing to Deng Ai!"

    "My lord, Zhongda is right, we must be on guard!" Huang Quan looked very serious.

    "My lord, we and Liu Cong are allies!" Zhang Song added.

    "Allies?" SimaYi smiled again, "I'm afraid that the King of Shu will recognize Liu Cong as an ally, but Liu Cong may not recognize the King of Shu as an ally. Once Deng Ai launches an attack at Yinping Pass, Shangyong will definitely send troops, and the Jingzhou navy will also attack.  Kuiguan and Baidi City. What's more, Luoyang's army will come out of Xiegu and attack Hanzhong. By then, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road to Shu is, they may not be able to stop Liu Cong's multi-pronged army!"

    "Thisyou"

    Zhang Song was about to retort, but was interrupted by Sima Yi.

    "Zhang Biejia, when I was in Luoyang, I heard that the King of Han personally summoned you, and you had a very pleasant conversation"

    "YouSima Yi" Zhang Song broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly saluted Liu Zhang, "My lord, I am to Yizhouto my lord"

    "Yongnian, don't panic, I believe you!" Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song and then at Sima Yi, "I wonder what the conditions are for King Wei to form an alliance with me?"

    ¡°Let¡¯s send troops together to attack Liu Cong!¡±

    "How to send troops specifically?"

    "Yizhou can send out three groups of troops. The first group will attack Yinping, the second group will attack Xincheng, and the third group will attack Shangyong!"

    "Although I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yizhou and many generals, I don't have that many handsome men! If we send out troops in three directions, who can be the commander?"

    "There are not many handsome men under the command of the King of Shu now!" Sima Yi looked at the people in the hall, "General Zhang Ren and General Huang Quan can lead the army to attack Shangyong, and General Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, can be the vanguard. In this way  How can Guo Huai be his opponent?"

    "What about the other two routes?"

    "Ma Chao is the commander-in-chief and attacks Yinping. Liu Bei is the commander-in-chief and the troops march out of Xiegu!"

    "My lord, you must not do this!" Zhang Song immediately stepped out, "Liu Bei and Ma Chao are ambitious people. If they take over the military power, it will be a disaster for Yizhou!"

    "Zhang Biejia is right. Liu Bei and Ma Chao are all ambitious people, but doesn't the King of Shu want them to both lose?"

    "Both sides will suffer?" After hearing Sima Yi's words, Liu Zhang suddenly felt enlightened, but he was still a little afraid of Liu Cong, "Then we have three armies. I wonder what the King of Wei plans to do?"

    "My lord also sent troops in three directions, one from Bingzhou to attack Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, one from Baima and Yanjin to cross the Yellow River and attack Yuzhou, and the other from Jizhou to attack Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass. In addition to this,  In addition, Jiangdong also agreed to attack Chaisang. In this way, all the naval forces in Jingzhou will be attracted by Jiangdong, and the King of Shu will not have to worry about Kui Pass!"

    "Okay, then I will form an alliance with the King of Wei!" Liu Zhang suddenly felt enlightened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
