Zitong.
Liu Zhang hosted a banquet for the army and met with Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang in person.
Liu Bei was able to send this pair to help, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
"General Guan, he passed five passes and killed six generals. He is truly a hero with great righteousness!"
Liu Zhang poured a glass of wine and personally greeted Guan Yu, who drank it all in return.
"Mr. Zhuge, I heard that my brother Xuande visited the thatched cottage three times, so I asked for your assistance."
Liu Zhang was born fair and fat, and indulged in drinking and sex all the year round, so he almost had the word "Mediocre Lord" written on his face.
"Come on, let me toast you sir!"
"please."
Zhuge Liang was as warm as jade and drank this cup with Liu Zhang.
"Are you Liu Changqing of Erqi Cao Cao?"
Liu Zhang looked at Liu Mang, who was busy working, and said with a smile: "I heard that you captured Zhang Wei alive, where are he now?"
Liu Mang put down his chopsticks and said calmly: "Let it go!"
Let go?
Liu Zhang looked displeased. He and brother Zhang Lu had a very deep grudge.
Zhang Lu's mother was killed by Liu Zhang.
"Sir, you know clearly that my lord has a grudge against Zhang Lu, why did you let his younger brother go?"
Zhang Ren sneered: "In your heart, buying Zhang Lu's heart is far better than respecting our Lord!"
Uh-huh!
Everyone looked at Liu Mang, and the eyes of Yizhou monarchs and ministers were full of anger.
Liu Feng was gloating about his misfortune, but he wanted to see how Liu Mang dealt with what happened today!
Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were about to speak, but Liu Mang laughed and said: "Letting Zhang Wei go is for the good of uncle Liu Zhang. Since uncle is blind, I don't want to explain!"
Blind or blind?
Fazheng and Mengda both agreed with what Liu Mang said.
"How...how do you say this?"
Liu Zhang hated others saying he was stupid and incompetent.
"Zhang Wei, an insignificant little character."
"It's just that Zhang Lu has been running Hanzhong for many years, and his two brothers have already won people's hearts."
"Killing Zhang Wei will only make the soldiers and people of Hanzhong hate the same enemy!"
Liu Mang laughed and said: "Are the people under my uncle all just people who eat nothing? The war is not to vent anger, but to compete for territory and obtain political benefits!"
"This time I let Zhang Wei go and use his mouth to promote the bravery of our army!"
"Send kindness and righteousness to Hanzhong for my uncle! In the future, if my uncle seizes Hanzhong, the people will not resist it."
What a great Liu Changqing!
Huang Quan's eyes widened angrily, thinking that Zhang Song would be enough to fool Liu Zhang into confusion.
Now Liu Mang said bluntly that he was clearly doing something for Liu Bei's benefit, but when he said it, it turned out to be for Liu Zhang's benefit!
"My lord, Liu Changqing said it bluntly and from the bottom of his heart, but for the sake of my country, Yizhou."
Fazheng said: "I was in the army that day, and Liu Changqing took the lead! Now when Hanzhong sees our Yizhou army, they are so frightened that they run away and only dare to defend Yangping Pass!"
With Fazheng's assist, Liu Zhang thought for a while and said with a smile: "What does my nephew mean by helping me win Hanzhong?"
Liu Mang remained silent, and Zhang Song said softly: "My lord, just now Zhang Ren and Huang Quan were so ignorant that they may have hurt people's hearts!"
"Liu Xuande and his son tried their best to help, but as a result, I cannot praise Yizhou's hospitality!"
"I hope my lord can express my sincerity!"
When Liu Zhang heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, give me five hundred pieces of Shu brocade to my nephew! Consider it a meeting gift!"
Even if Sichuan brocade is sold to the Central Plains, it is still in short supply.
Liu Mang smiled instantly and said, "Uncle, I won't accept the gift, but my nephew is too ignorant!"
"The land of Hanzhong is easy to capture, but..."
"It's just what? My nephew, why don't you tell me quickly?"
Liu Zhang said anxiously.
"Cao Cao is also eyeing Hanzhong! If my uncle takes Hanzhong, he will fight with Cao Cao."
"It's not that my nephew is rude. Uncle, look at the crooked melons and cracked jujubes under my command. How can they be Cao Cao's opponent?"
Liu Mang raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Ren, who only felt insulted.
"What...what should I do?"
"Cao Cao is so powerful that I, Yizhou, cannot resist him!"
Seeing that Liu Zhang was a little anxious, Wang Lei, the leader, snorted coldly: "My lord, Mr. Wolong is here, why don't you ask him for advice?"
The officials in Yizhou laughed, waiting to see Zhuge Liang's joke.
Unexpectedly, Wolong got up and started talking.
“The Hanzhong Plain is thousands of miles of fertile wilderness.”
"However, it is extremely difficult to leave Qishan from the north!"
"In Liang's opinion, we might as well let our army capture Hanzhong and build a barrier for Yizhou!"
As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Wang Lei's face turned ashen, and he felt as if he would pick a stone and hit himself in the foot!
"In the past, my lord stationed troops in Xinye to build a barrier for Liu Jing. Bowang defeated Xiahou and burned Cao Ren in Xinye."
"Now my lord and the general share the same origin and are willing to accept Hanzhong and resist Cao Cao for the general."
"No one else but our lord, the merciful Lord! Even if we don't want to do this, we have no choice but to obey the Lord's command!"
Zhang Song secretly gave a thumbs up, Mr. Wolong was cheating on his skills, I don’t know how much better than him!
It was clear that Liu Bei wanted to paralyze Liu Zhang on the pretext of taking Hanzhong. In this way, even if the army was approaching, Liu Zhang would not have any doubts!
"absurd!"
Huang Quan said angrily: "My lord, his monarch and his ministers are clearly playing a double act!"
"One encouraged Cao Cao to threaten Yizhou, and the other led Liu Bei to take Hanzhong!"
"I see that your target is clearly Yizhou!"
Liu Zhang's elm head, with the CPU running at high speed, was on the verge of burning out.
After all, everything you hear makes sense!
Wouldn't it be great if Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, drove away Zhang Lu, and became his watchdog in Yizhou?
As Huang Quan said, if Liu Bei's goal is Yizhou, wouldn't he be inviting a wolf into the house?
"My lord, Duke Xuande is known throughout the world for his trustworthiness and will never seize Yizhou from you!"
"My lord, Liu Bei still said he would not capture Jingzhou, so who is in the hands of the four counties in Jingnan now?"
"Huang Quan, this is wrong! Jingzhou Mu is the son of Liu Mang, and has nothing to do with Uncle Liu Huang!"
"Fa Xiaozhi, you have been speaking for Liu Mang, do you have the master in your heart?"
Seeing his family in chaos, Liu Zhang angrily slapped the table to silence everyone.
"You people, please don't try to drive a wedge between our brothers again!"
"My dear nephew, come with me for a walk!"
Both sides will send guards. Liu Mang smiled and said: "Everyone, our uncle and nephew have something to say, and there is no need for others to follow."
Walking to Guan Yu, Liu Mang said softly: "Second uncle, it's time to get sick!"
Guan Yu nodded. Liu Zhang was present just now, so it was not convenient for him to perform.
Now that Liu Zhang has left, the stage is finally his turn!
Liu Zhang walked in front and murmured: "They don't understand anything!"
"People from Yizhou and people from Dongzhou are fighting each other. It's really annoying!"
"My dear nephew, I made you laugh!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Since uncle doesn't want to wade into troubled waters, why not become a rich man?"
“Instead of taking on that burden, it’s better to throw it on someone else.”
When Liu Zhang heard this, he chuckled and said, "Why don't I want to live in peace and quiet? It's just that there is no suitable candidate!"
"I once thought Zhang Lu was a suitable candidate, but this guy only wants to turn Yizhou people into his followers!"
