"Military advisors are all reporting that Liu Zhang has mobilized his army at Hangu Pass and Wuguan Pass, preparing to rush to aid Yuan Shao to attack Cao Cao."
"I don't know if it's true..."
If Liu Bei is currently worried about his only concern, it is his "good brother" Liu Zhang, who is also a clan member.
Cai Mao and Zhou Yu were all played by Zhuge Liang and applauded.
Only Liu Zhang is an uncertain factor.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly with a confident smile on his face.
Even mentioning Liu Zhang still couldn't make any waves in Zhuge Liang.
"My lord, Liu Zhang is very good at opportunism, and he never makes a loss-making business!"
"The people from Hedong and Hongnong have just moved into Guanzhong. Wouldn't sending troops at this time make all the previous efforts in vain?"
"Liang estimated that Liu Zhang was bluffing to create obstacles for Cao Cao to annex Hebei."
After receiving Zhuge Liang's confirmation, Liu Bei's sorrow deepened.
"Military advisor, Liu Zhang has no intention of thinking about it. Isn't that good for us in Jingzhou..."
Ever since the news came that Liu Zhang had formed the Eastern Army, Liu Bei had been unable to sleep for several days and nights.
Of the four major military regions of the Qin State, only the Eastern Army is the largest!
It has long been obvious what Liu Zhang was thinking.
"My lord, please rest assured. If Liu Zhang remains silent in the pass, Liang will still be afraid of him."
"By threatening Cao Cao so openly at this time, Liang has already seen through Liu Zhang's lies!"
"Although we don't know how many people Liu Zhang lost in the battle of Yongliang, the number is definitely not a small number."
"Otherwise Liu Zhang would not have expanded the military region so brazenly."
When it comes to the various armies that Liu Zhang has formed, Liu Bei is filled with envy.
There are nearly 300,000 people with specific ownership.
There are no military districts divided, and the total number of county soldiers in various places is nearly 200,000.
Calculated this way, the total number of troops under Liu Zhang's command may exceed 500,000!
Liu Bei often wonders when he will be able to command an army of 200,000!
Perhaps this was an extravagant wish for Liu Bei before, but now it is really coming true.
The total population of the four Jingnan counties plus Nanjun has exceeded two million.
"Military advisor, is it really okay to hand over the full power of Nanjun to Yuan Zhi this time?"
Zhuge Liang did not answer immediately, but stared at Liu Bei for a while.
Zhuge Liang knew exactly what Liu Bei meant.
Can Xu Yuanzhi defeat Cai Hao?
Will Xu Yuanzhi have a different intention?
"Don't worry, my lord, Yuan Zhi is more than ten times as talented as Cai Hao!"
"With Yuan Zhi in charge of Nan County, you can definitely sit back and relax."
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Without Xu Yuanzhi, how could Liu Qi accept Liu Bei's power?
Without Xu Yuanzhi, how could Liu Bei continue to play music and dance here?
But Zhuge Liang also understood Liu Bei very well.
After wandering for half of my life, I finally found a foundation. How can I not think about it every day?
After all, Xu Shu was Liu Qi's official in name, and his master-servant relationship with Liu Bei was secretive!
Liu Bei was very aware of the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, so he trusted Xu Shu.
"By the way, who did the military advisor arrange outside Yiling City?"
"Guan Ping."
Liu Bei frowned and became nervous again.
"Commander, if I remember correctly, did you give the order to kill?"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and gradually put away his smile.
"good."
"How can the military advisor be so sure that Yufu's Qin army will definitely come? And how can he be sure that Pang Tong will lead the army himself?"
"What if Pang Tong didn't come and I saw those words, wouldn't it be..."
Liu Bei only knew a rough idea of the whole matter, but he knew the words on the tree clearly.
Zhuge Liang followed Sun Bin's example and killed Pang Juan, and marked Pang Tong's death here.
"Lord, there are many people from Jingzhou in the entire Eastern Army, but only Pang Tong is familiar with the terrain of Nanjun."
"Pang Shiyuan has always wanted to compete with Liang, so he will definitely seize the opportunity of the Jiangling battle to attack Yiling."
"Pang Tong occupies Yiling, and then he opens the door to the east. In the future, the Eastern Army can attack Jiangling in one go."
"Pang Shiyuan will definitely not be able to bear such a huge temptation."
After hearing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but admire in his eyes.
They say Wolong is like Fengxiao, but Wolong is still Wolong after all, and Fengxiao can never be compared!
But Liu Bei had no intention of looking down on Pang Tong.
Pang Tong was famous all over the world for his many ingenious schemes in Yongliang.
In Liu Bei's eyes, Fengchu Pang Tong is only inferior to Wolong Zhuge Liang.
That is naturally a hundred times better than other counselors!
Thinking of Pang Tong's imminent death, Liu Bei was still a little reluctant to give up.
"It's a pity that Pang Shiyuan persisted in his obsession and abandoned his hometown to join the national traitors!"
"If it can belong to me, then if Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chun work together, why worry about not accomplishing anything?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head slightly, he knew this was a difficult thing.
Pang Tong's vision was extremely cunning, and most people simply looked down upon him.
Coupled with the overt and covert fighting between the two, it is even more difficult to serve the same lord.
"Everyone has his own destiny, you can't force it! Perhaps from the moment Pang Tong came to Yufu, his fate has been doomed..."
Regarding this matter, Zhuge Liang could only lament that Pang Tong had a bad fate and met him.
Pang Tong is very strong, but Zhuge Liang has already seen through Pang Tong's methods!
"Military advisor, how can you tell Pang De that you killed Pang Tong?"
Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Bei lightly, and there was a hint of anger in his heart.
Liu Bei was not worried that Zhuge Liang would not be able to explain to Pang De Gong. He was simply worried that Pang De Gong would not let the Pang family help him because of Pang Tong's death!
The four major families in Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang, each have huge energy and heritage.
The only one who is fighting to the death with Liu Bei now is the Cai family. If he can get the full support of the Pang family and the Huang family, Liu Bei will be confident to win over the Kuai family.
Liu Bei thought he was hiding everything perfectly, but in fact Zhuge Liang had already seen through him.
But Zhuge Liang understood Liu Bei again, and the reason was the same as before.
"Two armies are fighting, each is his own master, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky!"
"Don't worry, my lord, Pang Tong is just the nephew of Pang Degong. As long as the lord promotes the people of Pangshan, he will naturally get the support of the Pang family!"
Since the Pang family will not take Pang Tong's death on themselves, Liu Bei can rest assured.
Liu Bei had to lament Zhuge Liang's inner cruelty.
Pang Shanmin married Zhuge Liang's second sister, and Zhuge Liang still had this marriage relationship with the Pang family.
Under such circumstances, he could still kill Pang Tong so ruthlessly!
This reminds Liu Bei of a saying: Since ancient times, those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters!
Killing Pang Tong in one battle would be of great benefit to Liu Bei's army.
Pang Tong is now gaining momentum, and killing Pang Tong will definitely increase Liu Bei's army's power.
It can also greatly damage the morale of the Eastern Army!
But there is also a huge drawback. Can Liu Zhang give up?
"Kong Ming, Liu Zhang..."
