Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1462
Wei Yan's sudden advance gave Zhao Wei a cognition that was not completely wrong, but also slightly biased. If it is not too big of a problem overall, then for Liu Zhang and Pang Xi, the cognition based on the battle situation is already complete. went in a completely different direction.

As the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Liu Zhang and Pang Xi saw with their own eyes the soldiers of General Zhengxi who had killed them in Guanghan, and almost made it to the front. Naturally, they were flustered and left Pang Xi in a hurry to set up defenses in Qi County. After conquering the west, Liu Zhang rushed back to Chengdu and called all his ministers to discuss the matter.

At the very beginning, Liu Zhang was generally able to numb himself, saying that the matter of Zhengxi is still far away, and we will talk about future things in the future, and enjoy the enjoyment that is right now. In the city of Guanghan, Liu Zhang suddenly realized that Zhengxi The blades of soldiers and horses are so close to him!

How to resist, or how to delay the approach of Zhengxi troops, has become a problem that Liu Zhang can't wait to solve...

Liu Zhang washed it clean, put on a toga with big sleeves, and a celestial crown. From the outside, he was quite majestic, but the slightly trembling hands inside the sleeves truly reflected Liu Zhang's inner world.

The soldiers and horses of the Western Expedition have arrived in Qi County!

Once Qi County is passed, it is the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu!

Isn't this the same as knocking down the door of your own house!

The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth twitched involuntarily, looking forward to someone's deafening and good words, but now the buzzing voices of the ministers are still coming from his ears...

In terms of talents from Sichuan and Shu, Liu Zhang indeed had quite a few under his tent, but Liu Zhang looked at the ministers under him, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of security in his heart.

"If Xiaozhi is still there..." Liu Zhang sighed slightly.

Fazheng is very capable, but Fazheng is not in Chengdu right now.Speaking of it, Fazheng also has a taste of self-deprecation in the south of Sichuan. First, Fazheng, who was born in Guanzhong, belongs to the outsider sect in Sichuan and Shu, and he can't talk to the original Sichuan and Shu sect. Second, Fazheng's personality is relatively rigid I can't understand how Pang Xi and Zhao Wei fight for power, and I can't manage it well. In addition, southern Sichuan is eroded by various barbarians in Yunnan. , so it was unbearable to be disturbed, so a general was needed to sit in southern Sichuan, so Fazheng recommended himself to avoid Chengdu, a disgusting place for power struggle.

The outside faction is willing to guard the door for their own family, and the Sichuan and Shu faction are naturally happy to see this, so they have a higher evaluation of Fa Zheng, even surpassing Pang Xi, and the implication is naturally very simple, just short of directly talking to Pang Xi. Said clearly.However, for Pang Xi, such behavior was simply as if he didn't hear it.

Pang Xi is now in Qixian County, leading Wu Yi, Yang Hong and others to do defense work, so now in Chengdu, only Chengdu prefect Dong He, don't drive Zhang Song, Mianzhu order Fei Shi, postal supervisor Li Hui , as well as Zhang Yi, Meng Da, Wu Lan and other generals.

The number of people is not too many, but it is not too many, at least compared to the big-eared frequent criminals, it is considered a luxurious lineup.

However it was of no use.

Liu Yan, Liu Zhang's father, was born after Liu Yu, king of Lu Gong in the Western Han Dynasty. He was worshiped as Zhonglang because of his clan status, and successively served as Luoyang Ling, Jizhou Governor, Nanyang Prefect, Zongzheng, Taichang and other official positions.Therefore, Liu Zhang lived in an environment of clan relatives and officials since he was a child. First, he didn't worry about food and clothing, second, he didn't worry about survival, and third, he didn't worry about the way out. Work on your behalf.

As the saying goes, eating all day long without paying attention, and Liu Zhang doesn't even bother to play chess, so how can Liu Zhang, a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse, withstand the rain, snow and autumn frost in the troubled times?
Or maybe this is one of the reasons why the members of the Sichuan-Shu faction are not very optimistic about Liu Zhang.

The people of Dongchuan supported Liu Zhang's heart, and the Chuanshu faction also knew it well, because Liu Zhang himself also possessed the characteristics that the Sichuan and Shu faction needed. The difference is not big, because in the hearts of the Sichuan Shu faction and the Dongchuan faction, what is the role of Liu Zhang...

It's just better than a statue.

"My dear friends!" Liu Zhang coughed and said loudly, "Do you have a plan?"

The originally chaotic discussions in the hall fell silent in vain, and then fell into an unspeakable silence.Almost everyone turned into wood carvings, watching their noses, noses and mouths, silent and motionless.

There were some fine beads of sweat on Liu Zhang's forehead, and then gathered at the temples, flowing down the hair, and finally dripping on the brocade robe, smudged the brocade robe into dark circles.

It was Dong He, the prefect of Chengdu who was at the side, who couldn't stand it any longer. He broke the silence and said, "My lord, do you want to fight or make peace?"

Liu Zhang widened his eyes, looked at Dong He in a daze, but also angrily. Why did you ask me instead? Shouldn't you come up with an idea?Otherwise, why call you here?Then you didn't say a word, but instead asked me what should I do?
Dong He glanced at Liu Zhang helplessly, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed slightly.

Liu Zhang turned his head to look at the others.

Don't drive Zhang Song smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry... If someone goes to Guanghan to meet with Zhengxi... Zhengxi's entry into Sichuan is nothing more than using the name of your brother's brother. The brother was confused, so he sent troops to the south, this is an unrighteous teacher! If someone sees Zhengxi, he should reprimand him for his injustice and lack of righteousness, or with a good tongue, he can make Zhengxi repent. Family and kindness..."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and quickly said, "It's so kind! It's so kind! I'm asking Ziqiao to take the trouble..."

Zhang Song raised his eyebrows slightly, showed some meaningful smiles, bowed his head and said in salute: "To make you work so hard, you should not be lucky..."

Seeming to have found a solution to the problem, Liu Zhang lost interest in continuing to explore, hastily ended the meeting that made him feel very uncomfortable, and went to the back hall.

Not long after he collapsed, Liu Zhang heard from his attendants that Dong He, the prefect of Chengdu, had come...

Liu Zhang had no choice but to get up again, changed his clothes, went to the side hall to meet Dong He, and asked, "Dong Aiqing, what are you looking for?"

Dong He was also getting older, and his temper was more or less tempered. Hearing this, he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Master, is it true that we can't make peace?"

Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Dong Aiqing, what do you mean by this statement?"

Dong He said in a low voice: "If it's a matter of idleness, there is nothing wrong with my lord's decision, but this is a military matter, a matter of life and death... How can it be, how can it be... Isn't it like this... Sigh, my lord should think twice For the sake of..."

Liu Zhang said suspiciously: "Dong Aiqing's meaning... Zhang Biejia... Could it be that he is trying to deceive someone?"

Dong He shook his head and said: "It's not necessarily a lie, but...my lord should think twice, whether it's war or peace, there is always a conclusion, so it can be done... That's all I said, I hope my lord will think twice, think twice... ..."

After finishing speaking, Dong He didn't stay long, and left with cupped hands, leaving Liu Zhang staring blankly.

What does this mean?
Liu Zhang watched Dong He go away, and wanted to call him back several times, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up, frowning, and wandered around the hall with his hands behind his back.

Above the hall hangs a plaque with the inscription "Listening to the Waves", which was originally inscribed by Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan, because there is a piece of mottled bamboo planted on the side of the hall, no matter it is windy or rainy, the bamboo leaves rub against each other. Just like Qingtao.Of course, Liu Yan wrote this plaque when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the deep meaning contained in it may not be the simple reason Liu Yan said on the surface, but Liu Zhang couldn't understand it.

Just like now, Liu Zhang is fidgeting and turning around, still not quite understanding what Dong He means.

Does it mean that we must start a war?
Or is Zhang Song unreliable and untrustworthy?

The chaotic thoughts were like clumps of tangles, clogged in Liu Zhang's head, making Liu Zhang unable to think clearly. However, Liu Zhang's pain did not last long, because after Pang Xi set up defenses in Qi County, he immediately I rushed back to Chengdu overnight, and after a hasty wash, I came to see Liu Zhang...

Because Pang Xi also knows that if the Erha at home is not optimistic, the family may be torn apart at any time.

When Liu Zhang met Pang Xi, he was relieved of his heavy responsibility, and hurriedly said aside the related matters that he had discussed with everyone in the past two days, but Liu Zhang still had some thoughts, and did not say what Dong He persuaded him.

When Pang Xi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.Erha tearing up the house, really can't leave for a while, only a few days after leaving, the situation has already begun to turn in an unfavorable direction...

"My lord..." Pang Xigong cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Biejia is leaving now? Why haven't we met?"

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "I should have left... I heard that he had already left yesterday..."

Pang Xi was already powerless to complain, but thinking about it the other way around, wasn't it because of Liu Zhang that he chose Liu Zhang in the first place?So Pang Xi didn't say anything, probably because Zhang Song was also worried that he would run into Pang Xi when he took the road to Qi County, so he deliberately took a detour.

Pang Xi looked at Liu Zhang and explained patiently: "My lord, Zhang Biejia is from Sichuan and Shu, and his family business is all here. Naturally, he doesn't want to be affected by the flames of war, so he must persuade the lord to put peace first... So Zhang Don't want to make peace with Zheng Xi, it's all for your own considerations, not for the lord..."

Only then did Liu Zhang suddenly understand, and couldn't help being furious: "A certain treats him well, why does he treat a certain like this!"

Is this still a question of who to treat?
Pang Xi didn't want to say anything more about this aspect, after all, there were more important things to do right now.Zhang Song is from Sichuan and Shu, so the choice must be biased in the direction of Sichuan and Shu. It is not surprising that he is preparing for peace talks with Zhengxi, because in the views of Zhang Song and others, Liu Zhang is also a foreign ruler, and he has nothing to do with Zhengxi. What is the difference, what is just and what is not, is often just lip service.

But Pang Xi is different. As the Dongchuan faction, he must be attached to Liu Zhang, because after all, what is held in his hands is real and reliable. If the ruler is changed, the interests of the Dongchuan faction will definitely suffer losses. , at least it will not seem to occupy such a big advantage at the moment.

Therefore, Pang Xi really wanted to save Liu Zhang.

Of course, the premise is that Liu Zhang can keep it, if not...

Pang Xi was silent for a moment and said: "My lord, now the conquest of the west is very powerful, sitting on three states, connecting the north and the south, we should not be underestimated, we are only the strength of one state, if we refuse, it may not be long..."

Liu Zhang almost lost his breath, coughed twice before calming down, and asked: "Pang...Pang Aiqing...Why did you say that again, just now, didn't you just say..."

Pang Xi said solemnly: "A certain person is different from Zhang Biejia. Zhang Biejia seeks peace because of his clan, and a certain person wants peace because he is his lord!"

Liu Zhang blinked. To me, is there any difference between these two and? Could it be that the word "he" also has three or four ways of writing?
Pang Xi said: "If you conquer the west and enter Sichuan, you will definitely support the lord's elder brother, but the lord will have to rely on others... If you follow a certain plan, you can use the power of others to refuse to conquer the west, and the lord can sit firmly in the middle of Sichuan without fear of loss. !"

Liu Zhang immediately became interested and urged Pang Xi to speak quickly.

Pang Xi didn't take too much airs. He pointed with his hand and said, "My lord, why can't we ask for help from outside when you asked my brother to ask for help from Zhengxi? horse?"

"Ask for help?" Liu Zhang asked suspiciously, "Where can I ask for help?"

Pang Xi seemed to have a plan in mind and said: "Liu Jingzhou is in Badong! I have heard a lot about Liu Jingzhou's virtuous and benevolent, and he has been known as the Eight Horses. Afterwards, the blood is of the same clan, and it should be used as a aid..."

"Liu Jingzhou?" Liu Zhang scratched his head and said, "If Liu Jingzhou...if..."

Pang Xi smiled and said: "Liu Jingzhou is located in a rich and prosperous place, which is completely different from Zhengxi, so...if you get his help, my lord can rest assured and don't have to worry..." Pang Xi meant Liu Jingzhou's own family His land is so good, why would he miss Liu Zhang's small possessions?
Of course, this is just Pang Xi's statement. As for whether it is true that Liu Biao is so magnanimously filled with the spirit of the hero Intner, it is a matter of opinion.

Liu Zhang didn't have too many ideas. Hearing what Pang Xi said, he felt that there seemed to be some truth, but after thinking about it, he said: "I heard that General Zhengxi studied in Jingxiang in his early years and married the Huang family in Miannan. This Jingxiang The person, may not be appropriate, right?"

Pang Xi laughed loudly, stroked his palms and said, "Your Majesty is indeed extremely intelligent! This is precisely the ingenuity!"

Although Liu Zhang didn't understand it, he also smiled in agreement, as if he had indeed seen through everything in the world.

"Back then, Liu Jingzhou also rode into Xiangyang alone, so he was the same as the predecessor..." Pang Xi didn't make things difficult for Liu Zhang, and immediately explained, "I heard that the Huang family in Miannan pretended to claim the name of Xiwei and occupied Wancheng. What about Liu Jingzhou? Don't complain? Under Jingxiang, there are many people who have contacts with Zhengxi, so how can Liu Jingzhou not worry? The Jingxiang gentry, current affairs and events are all similar to Zhengxi, and there is a tendency to divide the court, how can Liu Jingzhou not be angry? Therefore, if the lord asks for help from Liu Jingzhou, Liu Jingzhou will definitely come to help! In this way, the lord has strong support on his side, can fight and make peace, and should not be controlled by others!"

After Liu Zhang heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, so he immediately agreed, and Pang Xi, on behalf of Pang Xi, immediately asked Liu Biao of Jingzhou for help...
