"I'm afraid that if the lord learns the identity of that master in the future, he may not dare to believe it!" Pang Tong shook his head and smiled.

Liu Bei heard a hint of an unusual taste, and hurriedly asked, "Mo Fei Shiyuan knows who this master is?" ”

Pang Tong waved his hand, his eyes full of inexplicable smiles: "It's just a guess, don't ask!" ”

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Then wait for Shiyuan to confirm it and tell me!" ”

"Lord, Li Yan, Fei Guan surrendered, it is gratifying that our soldiers took Mianzhu without blood, but after the great joy, there is a big worry!" Pang Tong gradually restrained the smile on his face and said:

"After Zhang Ren's army was defeated and retreated to defend the city, he will definitely not be able to hold out, although there are many soldiers and horses in our army, but most of them are Yizhou troops, and they cannot let them kill each other with their compatriots, Zhang Rennai is a good general, with his ability to defend the city, our army is only afraid that it will be difficult to capture the city over the years.

Although the lord has obtained these areas from the north of Mianzhu to Jiamengguan, the richest place in Yizhou is the two counties of Bashu, and the lord currently has a vast territory and is very poor.

These days, the lord surrendered the Baishui army, Zhang Renjun, and soon Li Yan's Mianzhu army joined, plus the headquarters of the soldiers and horses totaled tens of thousands, with the territory currently occupied, it was difficult to supply the tens of thousands of troops.

Five or seven months is fine, but in a year or two it will be troublesome. After all, the lord is from Jingzhou, not as good as Liu Zhang's father and son who have been running Yizhou for 20 years, and their power is deep-rooted...... Foreign aggression! ”

"Outside the world? You mean Hanzhong Zhang Lu? When Liu Bei heard Pang Tong say this, his face condensed slightly, and he thought of Zhang Lu's head in Hanzhong after a little groaning.

Pang Tong nodded, and compared the land of Hanzhong and Sichuan Shu in front of the map: "Yes, although Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a grudge against their mother, you see, Yizhou and Hanzhong are a relationship of dead lips and cold teeth, Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu can still enjoy peace, but the main thing in Yizhou is to become the lord, how can Zhang Lu sit still?" ”

"If Zhang Lu takes advantage of the lack of food and grass in our army to send troops, I will be in danger, so what should I do?" Liu Bei looked at the map, above his territory was the land of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu could send troops to threaten his rear at any time, Liu Bei seemed to have a thorn in his chest, and hurriedly asked Pang Tong about countermeasures.

Pang Tong arched his hand and said: "Summoning Kong Ming to lead the troops into Sichuan, now Liu Zhang's army is dragged here by the lord, if Kong Ming leads the troops into Sichuan from the east, he can enter the Sichuan in a short period of time, open up the connection between Yizhou and Jingzhou, and then connect the main territory with Jingzhou, with strategic depth, you can sit back and relax!" Moreover, the Lord and Kong Ming will meet the CD, and they can also win Yizhou in a shorter time! ”

Listening to Pang Tong's suggestion, Liu Bei couldn't mention the slightest joy, sighed and said: "Kong Ming led troops into Sichuan, although it can solve my current internal and external troubles, but at the beginning of the year, Kong Ming captured Xiangyang, I am worried that after Kong Ming enters Sichuan, Cao Cao will lead his troops to capture Xiangyang."

Who will guard Jingzhou at that time? Although Yun Chang has the talent to command the army, he is arrogant and has a ...... wing None of them are suitable for guarding Jingzhou, so Jingzhou may not be safe. If it hadn't been for the matter of Adou, a son of evil, which led to Kong Ming and Cao Bing's war, I would have written to Kong Ming to prepare to enter Sichuan. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can't blame the son for this matter." Pang Tong stroked his beard with a smile when he heard this, and said: "Cao Cao became a prince in September, and now he is in Yecheng, the internal situation is still unstable, and many major matters need to be dealt with urgently. And Ma Chao fought with Cao Cao and Guanzhong the year before last, and fled to Qiang in defeat, and now he is entangled in the army against Cao Cao again, and Cao Cao's attention is on the west at the moment.

Ma Chao's troubles in Xiliang are internal worries, although Kong Ming seized Xiangyang, but he and Cao Cao crossed the river to rule, which is considered an external trouble. Needless to say, there is no need to say more about internal and external troubles. At present, even if Cao Cao wants to recapture Xiangyang, he will not personally lead the army to send troops, at most he will only let Cao Ren of Fancheng send troops, so it is enough to send Yiliang to guard Xiangyang. ”

Liu Bei agreed: "This is also true, Xiangyang City Defense is strong, as long as Cao Cao does not personally lead the army south, with Cao Ren, there is no Xiangyang at all!" ”

Pang Tong continued: "I'm most worried about the Jiangdong side! Now that the lord has won a big victory in Yizhou, if he wins Yizhou in one fell swoop, his power will surpass Jiangdong, which is not what Sun Quan wants to see. And if Jiangdong wants to develop, it must also take Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu was cut because of the defeat in the attack on Yizhou, Jiangxia has now been Lusu in charge, Zhou Yu has been recuperating in Chaisang for the past two years, but there are often generals to visit, and his prestige in Jiangdong has not been reduced, Zhou Yu He is recuperating, with Zhou Yu's temperament, once there is a chance to seize Jingzhou, he will let it go!

And Sun Quan is the hero, and he also knows that relying on the Sun-Liu alliance cannot maintain the rule of Jiangdong for a long time, and only by being strong can he solve the problem from the root. Therefore, once Zhou Yu asked to send troops to attack Jingzhou, Sun Quan would most likely agree! ”

Speaking of this, Pang Tong suddenly grinned: "But I have a plan, I can keep Jingzhou worry-free!" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "What is Shiyuan's plan, come quickly!" ”

"It's okay to ...... like this," Pang Tong whispered in Liu Bei's ear.

Liu Bei listened to Pang Tong's strategy, and couldn't help but clap his hands and exclaimed: "Okay, good, it's really a good plan, if Jiangdong dares to come and attack Jingzhou, he will have to suffer a big loss, and he won't dare to attack Jingzhou easily in the future." Since this is the case, I wrote to Kong Ming and asked him to prepare early. ”

Liu Bei immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Jingzhou quickly.

A few days later, Liu Bei pacified the counties under his rule, and asked the accompanying civil officials to appease the people, so he once again set up troops to the south and attacked the city.

………………

…………

Liu Bei began to attack Yizhou in December 212, and although he won successive battles, when he led his troops to attack Yucheng, it was already the beginning of spring in February 213 AD.

Now, it is April 213 AD, and Liu Bei has been attacking the city for two months.

Jingzhou, in the state pastor's house.

Early in the morning, Liu Chan went to Xunyu's mansion to study, and when he left the mansion, he called Lin Xiao to accompany him.

Lin Xiao rushed over, and when he saw that Zhao Yun had not arrived, he couldn't help asking, "Young master, why didn't Zilong arrive today?" ”

Liu Chan walked out of the mansion with Lin Xiao and explained: "A month ago, my father came back with a message, saying that he had raised troops to attack Yizhou, and went south to capture Fucheng. This is the news from a month ago, and it will take at least 20 days for Yizhou to send a message back and forth with Jiangling, thinking that my father raised troops to attack Yucheng two months ago, and the battle should be in a hurry at this moment.

After the military advisor got the news, he summoned the generals in advance to shrink the defense and prepare to send troops into Sichuan to support his father, and Uncle Zhao was also busy reorganizing the troops and horses during this time. ”

Lin Xiao was shocked when he heard this: "The military advisor wants to enter Sichuan to support the lord? Is the current situation not in favor of the Lord? ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said, "The situation is very good!" The Baishui guard Yang Huai Gaopei surrendered, and his father defeated Zhang Ren in Fucheng with a strategy, and incorporated Zhang Ren's army, Zhang Ren fled to Mianzhu, and Li Yan, the Mianzhu guard, surrendered directly, and now Zhang Ren has fled to Luocheng, and there is only this last barrier left! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Chan was also quite excited in his heart, if he hadn't asked Zhao Yun to tell Chen Dao, thus subduing Yang Huai and causing the butterfly effect, Liu Bei would not have achieved such a big result in just two months.

Lin Xiao was puzzled: "Since you have won a big victory, why did the military division reorganize the soldiers and horses and prepare to enter Sichuan?" ”

Listening to Lin Xiao's words, Liu Chan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although Lin Xiao was brave, he was only a fierce general who charged into battle, not a general who judged the situation.
