Zhang Song drew a circle with his hand on the vast land north of the Yangtze River, the northern grasslands, the Western Regions, and Jingzhou, and asked, "Your Majesty, whose rule do you say these places are under now?" ”

Liu Zhang glanced at the large piece of land north of the Yangtze River, and Jingzhou, which was inserted straight into the middle of the south and cut off Shu Han and Wu, and replied without question: "Of course it is under the rule of the puppet emperor Cao Cao!" ”

"And whose land did they belong to?" Zhang Song asked again.

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and replied with some uncertainty: "The princes of the world? ”

A touch of disappointment disappeared in a flash, but then Zhang Song shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, what about before the princes of the world?" ”

Before the princes of the world?

Liu Zhang was stunned again, and this time replied with great certainty: "Of course it's a big man!" ”

This time, Zhang Song finally nodded, and asked in a deep voice with a face full of indignation: "Your Majesty is a relative of the Han family, and the ancestors of Weichen not only received Han's grace in the world, but Weichen himself was also favored by the emperor and His Majesty, how can he sit back and watch His Majesty's ancestral inheritance be usurped by others!" ”

Liu Zhang understood Zhang Song's thoughts, and Liu Zhang, who was quite simple, was moved by Zhang Song's loyal minister's heart, and at the same time looked at the vast territory, he himself was ambitious, and he was somewhat in favor of this idea at this time, but he felt that he had no chance of winning against the Wei army at all.

This made Liu Zhang can't help but be in a dilemma, and he doesn't know what to do.

Zhang Song didn't know what His Majesty Liu Zhang thought, he couldn't help but sigh, and said to Liu Zhang: "Your Majesty, rest assured, since Weichen is the prime minister, he will definitely do his best, and His Majesty will regain the Han world, and Your Majesty is also tired." Wechen doesn't bother anymore, Wechen retires! ”

Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel guilty. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "That's it." I won't leave the prime minister anymore, so please retire, prime minister! ”

Zhang Song nodded, and after saying goodbye again, he turned around and walked outside.

Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song's back and couldn't help sighing.

On the other side, after Yan Yan left the palace, he came to the post house where Zhuge Liang stayed and told Zhuge Liang his intention.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand with a grateful face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" But you don't need anything to be bright! Then he said solemnly: "Please also ask the general to tell Your Majesty that Liang will definitely persuade Zhang Lu!" At the same time, please Your Majesty's words are like gold! ”

Yan Yan also clenched his fists solemnly and said, "Mr. Kong Ming, but please rest assured!" My Majesty is not a faithless and unrighteous person. We will definitely keep our promises! ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and arched his hand: "Then I will leave now!" ”

Yan Yan was slightly surprised, "Is Mr. Kong Ming going to leave now?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said with some emotion: "We don't have much time!" ”

Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, then hugged his fists and said, "Sir, take care all the way!"

"Thank you!"

Zhuge Liang came out of the post house, Yan Yan personally sent him out of the capital, and a lonely carriage gradually disappeared from view.

The heavy ordnance transported from Jingzhou City was continuously transported to Yiling, and Tai Shici had already led 50,000 elite soldiers of the Fifth Army to concentrate in Yiling at this time, but there were more than 200 civilian ships requisitioned.

"What's going on? It's been three days. It's just a few ships! Tai Shici looked angry in the Ya of Yiling County, and the officials in charge of requisitioning civilian ships in front of him were trembling and uneasy.

"Will. General, we've done our best! An official had the audacity to observe.

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he slapped the case a little irritably. A loud bang sounded in the hall of the county government. The unlucky officials were startled, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

See this. Tai Shici also came back to his senses from the irritability just now, and looked at these officials a little helplessly. Said angrily: "What are you still kneeling here?" Don't go down to the general to recruit civilian boats! ”

When several officials heard this, they kowtowed again and again, stood up and hurried out of the county office, looking like sheep in the wolf's mouth.

Tai Shi Ci touched his beard and muttered depressedly, "Is my Tai Shi Ci so terrible?" ”

The adjutant general on the side looked at his general's idiotic appearance, rolled his eyes, and didn't hear it.

And just when Tai Shici was collecting civilian ships and preparing to cross the Yangtze River, something happened in the Chibi Wei army camp.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency flying pigeon from Xichuan!" In the middle of the night, Guo Jia ran into Cao Cao's big tent to report.

The flying pigeon herald first returned to Cao Cao's herald who was in charge of the herald, and then the herald would personally hand over the herald to Cao Cao, but it was the middle of the night, and the herald did not dare to disturb Cao Cao in his sleep, so he went to see Guo Jia first.

Cao Cao got up from the low couch with sleepy eyes, yawned and said, "Fengxiao, I am having a good dream!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent flying pigeon from Xichuan!" Guo Jia was not in the mood to joke at this time, and hurriedly came to Cao Cao's low couch and said urgently, and at the same time presented the book.

"Nishikawa?!"

At this moment, Cao Cao had already sobered up, and hurriedly took the book from Guo Jia's hand, opened it and read it carefully. His complexion changed, and Huo Ran stood up.

"Liu Zhang of Xichuan is gathering a large army and preparing to go west out of Ba County! Zhang Lu has already made peace with Liu Zhang, and he is also gathering troops! ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly, "Okay! It seems that this lord of Xichuan has become bold again! ”

Guo Jia frowned and said, "It's the same as Weichen expected!" Then he raised his head and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it is better to postpone the plan to cross the river, and first concentrate on solving the problems of Shuzhong and Hanzhong!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, and then asked worriedly: "But since ancient times, Xichuan has been easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to march into Xichuan!" ”

Cao Cao wanted to emulate Deng Ai's practice in later TV dramas, but he didn't know where Deng Ai's path was, which made Cao Cao sigh in his heart, it seems that watching TV has to be serious!

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia smiled confidently.

As soon as Cao Cao saw Guo Jia like this, he was relieved, because Cao Cao knew that Guo Jia had a way.

"Fengxiao, if you have any way, just say it!" Cao Cao couldn't wait to urge.

Guo Jia walked to the side of the huge sand table in the big tent, this sand table is different from the previous sand table, the previous sand table reflects the landform on both sides of the Yangtze River around Chibi, and the sand table in front of him reflects the overall topography including Chibi, Changsha and Xichuan, which is much larger than the previous sand table, in fact, it is on the basis of the previous sand table to add Changsha and Xichuan.

The sand tables made by the Wei army were all movable, which was Cao Cao's request.

Cao Cao put on a robe and walked to the sand table, Guo Jia pointed to the bottom of the pot like Xichuan and said: "Xichuan is a place of four stops, and the terrain is extremely dangerous!" If you attack it, it will be time-consuming and laborious! Cao Cao frowned and nodded. (To be continued......)
