Chapter 594 (Thank you Piaofeixue for your great reward)
In March of the second year of Xingping, Liu Bei sent Zhong Yao as the envoy, Zhang Ji as the deputy envoy, and Guan Qiuxing as the army to join the army. He led a hundred Baimu soldiers and sent three assistants to Hanyang to mediate the dispute between Ma Chao and Yan Xing.

In the same month, Liu Bei's general Gao Shun led more than [-] elite troops from Sanfu under the banner of rescuing Zang Hong. He marched through Hongnong, left Hangu, and entered Hanoi, which immediately attracted the attention of people all over the world.

Liu Bei's move was so frightening that Cao Cao had to suspend the encirclement and suppression of King Kuang of Mount Tai, and concentrate on the generation of Dongjun and Chenliujun.

In response to Liu Bei, Lu Bu sent Chen Gongdu generals Hao Meng and Wei Xu to contact Taishan Zang Ba to invade Thailand and Hua Yi, and Cao Cao sent general Xia Houyuan to block them.

Yuan Shu took the opportunity to increase his official position to attract people's hearts. For example, he appointed Guo Yi as the shepherd of Bingzhou, and ignored Liu Bei's memorial to Jian Yong as the governor of Bingzhou.

Guo Yi didn't agree, and submitted a form to Sanfu to decide to resign from the post of prefect of Taiyuan County.

Liu Bei issued a memorial to denounce his resignation, proclaimed him a marquis, and rewarded him with a hundred gold and ten pieces of Shu brocade as a show of favor. This eased the conflict between the Lucheng Army and the Bingzhou faction.

Therefore, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu did not admire each other.

Liu Bei was in Chang'an, Yuan Shu was in Shouchun, and the Southern Emperor was in Nanyang Wancheng. After this incident, Yuan Shu sent Zhang Xun to forcefully move the Southern Emperor and all the officials to Shouchun. For this reason, the princes were dissatisfied with him. Lu Kang and Lu Jiang directly condemned Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu still insisted on going his own way. As a result, the reputation of the Southern Emperor's court declined, and the princes of the world cut off their tribute to the Southern Emperor's court one after another.

The first to cut off was Liu Zhang in Yizhou. Liu Zhang refused to pay tribute in the name of the waterway being blocked by Liu Bei and Liu Biao.

Liu Zhang’s move not only attracted a lot of gentry in the Central Plains, but also caused endless disputes in Chengdu. The two major Dongzhou generals in the Shu-Han Dynasty, Wu Kuang and Pang Xi, fought for power. .

The atmosphere in Chengdu became tense because of this. Wu Kuang and Pang Xi each occupied a city, and the generals of the two sides fought and fought each other, but they were forcibly suppressed by the two.

Wu Kuang has been in charge of the Forbidden Army for many years, and the generals of the Forbidden Army under him are self-contained. Pang Xi has won the trust of Liu Zhang, and his generals from Dongzhou are closely related, especially Deng Xian and other dead party supporters. Pang Xi can be said to have deep roots in the Shuhan Dynasty , Xu Jing was his political ally, Zhao Wei wanted to be the king of Shu, and strongly opposed the full-scale entry of the Lucheng army into Shu, and also fell in love with Pang Xi.

Pang Xi can be said to have completely become the decision-maker of the Shu-Han Dynasty as soon as he entered Chengdu. Although Wu Kuang held great righteousness, he was despised because of his insidious connections with Liu Bei. Although the Lucheng Army is the general trend, there are still many political opponents who oppose it. Zhang Su, the elder brother of his political ally Zhang Song.

Zhang Su, the elder brother of Zhang Song, was at odds with Zhang Song. Historically, Zhang Song secretly entered Shu with Liu Bei, but was exposed by Zhang Su when he was about to succeed, and Zhang Song was killed by Liu Zhang.

Today Zhang Su still does not agree with Zhang Song's strategy of welcoming Liu Bei into Shu, but agrees with Dong Fu's words: Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor, and there should be an emperor in Yizhou, so he is a frequent visitor to Pangxi's mansion.

"General Chariot, I'm overjoyed."

Zhang Su got the news from Zhang Song that Liu Bei was mediating Ma Chao and Yan Xing while rescuing Zang Hong with great fanfare and sending troops to Hanoi. He went to Pang Xi's mansion immediately, and congratulated Pang Xi loudly when he saw Pang Xi from afar.

Pang Xi was admiring the flowers, when he heard that it was Zhang Su, he smiled and said, "Jun Jiao, why is this general so happy?"

Zhang Su said: "Isn't it a happy event for Liu Bei to set his sights on the Central Plains?"

"Oh!"

Pang Xi was moved. He had already mastered the power of the Shu Han Dynasty. It was only a matter of time before Wu Kuang was expelled. However, Guan Yu of Bajun and Yu Jin of Hanzhong were not good at it. Only then can he be worthy of Liu Yan's kindness.

"It's true."

Pang Xi asked seriously.

Zhang Su nodded: "Liu Bei's wine sacrificial military advisor, Guo Jia, personally wrote to Ziqiao that Liu Bei will set his sights on the Central Plains, and he hopes that Ziqiao can unite with Wu Kuang to resolve Chengdu peacefully, so that Yizhou will surrender without a fight."

"Surrender without fighting?"

When Pang Xi heard that he threw a flower branch with all his strength, he threw the flower branch on the ground and angrily said, "Surrender without fighting, he, Liu Bei, looks down on XX too much."

Zhang Su flattered: "That's right! The chariot general, the big-eared thief actually treats the people in my Sichuan like nothing, it's really deceiving."

Hearing this, Pang Xi put away his anger and said, "Brother Junjiao, if what you said is true, after expelling Wu Kuang this time, someone will definitely be paid a lot."

Zhang Su was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you General Cheqi for your help. If General Cheqi has no other orders, I will leave first."

Although Zhang Su is the brother of Zhang Song, but he looks different from Zhang Song. The two brothers are ugly and beautiful, so many people say that they are not brothers. I hate Zhang Song.

Zhang Suming knows how to advance and retreat, so he is not slower to become an official than Zhang Song.

Pang Xi looked at Zhang Su's leaving figure, because he had many doubts, including Zhang Su himself. He couldn't help but who called Zhang Song and Zhang Su brothers?Maybe everything now is just for outsiders to see?

"Come on, please invite Mr. Wenxiu."

Pang Xi couldn't make a decision, so he could only ask someone to make a decision. Of course, the one he trusted the most was Xu Jing and Xu Wenxiu, a famous scholar in Runan.

When Xu Jing got the news, he hurried to Pang Xi's mansion. Pang Xi was waiting for him, and the two exchanged greetings after their marriage.

Xu Jing said bluntly: "General Cheqi, I am organizing spring plowing, why do you have to call me here?"

Pang Xidao: "Zhang Junjiao just came here and said that Liu Bei wanted to visit the Central Plains. I want to ask Mr. Wenxiu to help me decide whether it is true or not."

Xu Jing thought for a long time after hearing the words, and said: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, if Liu Bei is going to the Central Plains, he must not be able to hide it from others. What's more, now that Yuan Shu is retreating from Shouchun, it is the time when Liu Bei is competing for the Central Plains. It's just that Yongliang and Bashu are not yet determined. Liu Bei is going to the Central Plains so early. I'm afraid I'm a little impatient."

Pang Xi nodded when he heard the words: "Sir, what you said is very true. Liu Bei has many advisers, and he can't fail to see this. Could it be that he is planning to attack the west? He is clearly looking at the Central Plains, and he really wants to pacify the Central Plains."

Xu Jing shook his head: "Liu Bei would not be so stupid for such a clumsy plan. I suggest that General Cheqi should send someone to Sanfu to find out, and then discuss other things."

"It's still Mr. Wenxiu who is mature and prudent, so I will send someone to investigate."

Pang Xidao.

Xu Jing reminded again: "General Chaqi is secretly preparing while inquiring about the situation of the three assistants, in case Liu Bei really goes east to the Central Plains, Wu Kuang jumps down the wall in a hurry to strike first, and General Chaqi is caught off guard."

"That's exactly what you said, sir."

Pang Xi said with a serious expression.Thinking that Wu Kuang dared to abolish Liu Dan and establish Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang's intentions were unclear. If Wu Kuang really acted first, he would really fall into Wu Kuang's hands, and Liu Yan's foundation would not be guaranteed.
