Despite this, Liu Chan still explained the truth to Lin Xiao: "Zhang Ren was defeated and fled to Luocheng, and he must not be able to hold out, so his father will definitely find it difficult to take Luocheng for many years." At present, the territory occupied by my father is sparsely populated and barren, and it cannot supply the needs of tens of thousands of troops. If this goes on for a long time, there will be turmoil, and internal and external troubles will coexist.

Therefore, at this moment, the military division must lead the troops into Sichuan, open the east gate of Yizhou, connect the two states of Jingyi together, develop the depth of development, and solve his father's worries. He was a prescient military advisor, and before his father summoned him into Sichuan, he prepared soldiers and horses in advance to shrink Jingzhou's defenses, so as not to be hastily prepared and underprepared in an emergency. ”

Lin Xiao suddenly realized after hearing this, looked at Liu Chan's gaze, and his eyes were full of admiration: "It turned out to be this truth, but I didn't expect that the young master was not very old, but he knew so much about the truth, it really made me ashamed." ”

Liu Chan was about to reply, but he caught a glimpse of a soldier running from the street to the gate of the governor's mansion, asking the guard at the door, the guard pointed in his direction, and the soldier ran in his direction again.

Seeing this, Liu Chan knew that the soldiers were coming to look for him, so he waited in place.

The soldier ran to Liu Chan, panting and arching his hand: "Young master, fortunately, you haven't gone far yet, the military advisor has something to ask you to come over, and let Lin Huwei go with you!" ”

Liu Chan hurriedly asked, "The military advisor is looking for me?" Is it in the mansion or the mansion? ”

"The military advisor is now in the palace!"

Liu Chan's face froze: "Since it is a government office, it must be an official matter, do you know what is going on!" ”

The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know that after the military advisor received a letter, he asked us to call someone!" ”

"You know Mr. Xun's residence, I don't have time to ask Mr. for leave, you go tell me, I'll go to the government now!" Liu Chan said, and took Lin Xiao to the mansion.

Liu Chan and Lin Xiao came to the gate of the palace, only to see many generals and officials coming near the street at the gate.

Seeing that so many civil and military generals came to the palace, Liu Chan thought in his heart: "My father has already entered the city, presumably Zhuge Liang should be summoned into Sichuan now, but Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, why did he call me too?" ”

The two came to the main hall in the palace, and saw Zhuge Liang standing at the top steps of the hall, with his back to everyone, standing with his hands in his hands.

On both sides of the main hall, Jingzhou's core civil and military forces, such as Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others have arrived.

It's just that the atmosphere in the hall is a little dignified at this moment, all the civil and military are silent, and some people are even sighing again and again, showing sadness.

"Strategist, what's wrong?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Liu Chan chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Liu Chan coming, Zhuge Liang turned around, his face was full of sadness, he sighed and said: "Son, you came just in time, the lord he wrote before, the letter said that he had now led his troops to attack the city, but Shi Yuan was hit by mistake when he led the troops to attack the city, and died.

Now that the lord is frustrated, he urgently summons me to lead troops into Sichuan to support, there are some things I want to tell you, but I don't have time to find you alone in an urgent matter, so I have to ask you to come over. ”

Liu Chan instinctively didn't believe it when he heard this, he had made so many arrangements, how could Pang Tong still die? Liu Chan questioned: "How is it possible? With the divine doctor accompanying him, even if the military advisor is hit by an arrow, he can rejuvenate himself if he wants to come to the divine doctor! ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "The arrows are ruthless, hitting the vital point of the forehead, even if the divine doctor is skillful, it is difficult to bring the dead back to life!" Hey, Childe, let's sit down first, I'll tell Childe later! ”

Listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Chan's heart was full of frustration: "I tried my best, is it still impossible for Pang Tong to escape death?" ”

Seeing that Liu Chan was silent, Zhuge Liang pulled Liu Chan over and arranged him to sit down in the second place at the top.

At this moment, Jingzhou civil and military arrived one after another.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhuge Liang stood on the hall, looked around at the generals below, and said: "The lord sent a letter, saying that the army had entered the city, but Shiyuan was in the middle of the arrow when he attacked the city, and unfortunately died. ”

"The military advisor is full of wisdom, how could he die because of a stray arrow?"

"The military advisor is the humerus of the lord, and he shouldn't be in danger himself!"

"Hey, what a jealous talent!"

As soon as the bad news came out, the Chinese martial arts in the hall talked a lot, and all of them mourned and wept.

"Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, and the one who guarded Jingzhou was only afraid that it was the second uncle, right?"

Liu Chan and Pang Tong did not meet, and the relationship was not deep, in history he died from a stray arrow, and now he is dead, but he has not escaped the catastrophe. Therefore, Liu Chan was not too sad. Hearing Zhuge Liang talk about entering Sichuan, Liu Chan couldn't help but look up at Guan Yu, the general who would guard Jingzhou in the future.

Guan Yu was in the first position on the left, everyone was behind him, except for Zhuge Liang, but only Liu Chan could notice his expression.

"Huh?" When he looked at Guan Yu, Liu Chan found that something was wrong.

When the news of Pang Tong's death came out, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Jiang Wan and others in the palace all showed sadness, and even those who were close to Pang Tong wept bitterly.

Only Guan Yu was expressionless, with a proud face.

That expression, as if to say, my heart has no waves, and I even want to eat a little...... I want to laugh.

Liu Chan remembered that Zhao Yun said that when Pang Tong was in Jingzhou, Guan Yu had a good relationship with Pang Tong, Guan Yu was the most righteous person, and he would definitely sigh sadly when his friend died.

But what does this expression mean now?

As if sensing Liu Chan's gaze, Guan Yu's face turned, and he shook his head and sighed again.

"This Zhuge Liang even hid it from me, which scared Lao Tzu!" Seeing Guan Yu like this, Liu Chan felt sad in his heart, looked at Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help but scold in his heart.

Liu Chan didn't believe that Pang Tong had died, but now that he saw Guan Yu's expression, he was even more sure of what he thought in his heart.

Guan Yu is the first choice to stay in Jingzhou, if Pang Tong fakes his death, Zhuge Liang can hide it from others, including Liu Chan, but he will definitely not hide Guan Yu.

Now everyone in the hall is extremely sad, but Guan Yu's face is not wavering, and Liu Chan can't guess that Zhuge Liang has even lied to himself.

"I'll just watch you act quietly!" Knowing that Zhuge Liang must have his reasons for doing this, Liu Chan did not break it, and sat on the seat and looked at Zhuge Liang quietly.

"Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Fu Wei, Liu Feng, Xiang Chong, Xiang Lang, Yan Yu, Jiang Wan, Gao Xiang, ......"

One by one, the names came out of Zhuge Liang's mouth, and the generals and officials who were named walked to the center of the hall.

Zhuge Liang said to everyone: "You will lead the troops into Sichuan with me, and the soldiers and horses entering Sichuan this time are 18,000 people." In the past two months, I have contracted the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, hoarded grain and grass, and the money and grain of the soldiers and horses have been transported to Yiling. ”
