After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

And Liu Bei is now able to confront Cao Cao at Fushuiguan because of Liu Zhang's support behind him.

"I've seen Mr. State Shepherd!" Pang Tong cupped his hands and saluted.

Liu Zhang smiled and stepped forward to support Pang Tong's arms: "The envoy does not need to be polite, please sit down quickly!"

"Thank you!" Pang Tong cupped his hands and sat down.

Liu Zhang greeted his servants to serve tea, and gave Zhang Song a wink.

Zhang Song smiled and said, "Shiyuan, did you ever hear that Zhou Yu captured Chaisang City?"

"Hahaha!" Pang Tong laughed: "To be honest, I'm here for this!"

"Oh?" Liu Zhang also laughed, "What does Mr. Cao mean?"

Pang Tong handed Liu Xian's handwritten letter to Zhang Song, and then said to Liu Zhang: "Zhou Yu stole Chaisang City, and Sun Quan led [-] troops to the north to take Wan City, intending to attack Hefei!"

"Is it okay?" Liu Zhang said, "In this way, the Prime Minister is in a dilemma!"

Pang Tong changed the subject: "However, Mr. Ziyu had a clever plan, Xiaoyaojin defeated Jiangdong's army, and took advantage of Jiangdong's withdrawal of troops to rob the camp and capture Wu Hou Sun Quan alive!"

Liu Zhang was stunned, and Zhang Song, who was reading the letter, also raised his head.

The two seemed to be hallucinating.

Liu Zhang asked again, "What did the envoy just say?"

Pang Tong said: "Liu Xian, the military commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion, sacrificed wine to defeat Sun Quan, Zhang Liao robbed the Jiangdong camp with 800 people, and Zhao Yun led [-] white horses to capture Sun Quan alive!"

"Caught alive?" Liu Zhang was extremely shocked.

"Zhao Yun, are you so brave?" Zhang Song's hand holding the letter began to tremble.

Pang Tong said again: "Zhao Yun is a general in the army, Liu Xian counts everything, and with the help of son Cao Pi and general Zhang Liao, he will naturally break Jiangdong!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Zhang nodded repeatedly, but his breathing became heavy.

Jiangdong's fiasco undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Yizhou.

Zhang Song put down the letter and asked Pang Tong, "Then, does the prime minister have anything to say?"

"I didn't say anything at all!" Pang Tong waved his hand: "Just let me come here to share the good news with Master Zhou!"

"Okay, okay, great, it's really great news!" Liu Zhang nodded quickly, but cold sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

"It's good news!" Zhang Song also nodded, "Jiangdong is pale, and the prime minister sits firmly in Hanzhong. The traitors Liu Bei and Ma Chao will be the shackles sooner or later!"

Pang Tong nodded: "The prime minister is exactly what he meant, and this letter will reassure Mr. Zhou Mu!"

Zhang Song turned to look at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang still nodded: "Anxin, I'm so at ease, I feel like the big stone in my heart has fallen!"

"That's great!" Pang Tong got up: "The mission has been accomplished, I will return to Hanzhong immediately!"

Liu Zhang waved: "Yongnian, quickly send the messenger!"

"Of order!" Zhang Song nodded and hurried to see Pang Tong off.

On the other hand, Liu Zhang was sweating on his forehead, his back was cold, and his legs were weak.

Half an hour later, Zhang Song came back.

Huang Quan and Li Yan also came together.

"My lord!" Zhang Song cupped his hands: "Pang Tong has already left the Chengdu Mansion!"

Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "The military division under Cao Cao's tent is so brave. How can I, Xichuan, be Cao Cao's opponent? What should we do now?"

Zhang Song took the lead in bowing his hands: "My lord, Cao Cao is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and submitting to the prime minister is submitting to Cao Cao. Liu Cong has been enjoying happiness in Xudu since his surrender!"

Huang Quan also said: "The lord should act in accordance with the sky, don't act against the sky, and die early and surrender!"

Liu Zhang sighed again.

Before Sun Quan was captured alive, he still had the confidence to deal with Liu Bei and Cao Cao to gain the greatest benefit.

But now it seems that Liu Bei is not Cao Cao's opponent, let alone Cao Cao's opponent.

But at this time, Li Yan stood up and said, "If my lord votes for Cao at this time, I'm afraid I will be wiped out!"

"What?" Liu Zhang didn't understand: "Why did the disaster come about? Why did you say that?"

Li Yan bowed his hands: "My lord is now using Liu Bei and Ma Chao to resist Cao Cao. If you surrender to Cao Cao, will you betray them?"

"This?" Liu Zhang stopped talking.

Li Yan said again: "Now the second general is guarding the Fushui Pass and Cao Cao is unable to march. If Liu Bei and Ma Chao counterattack the Chengdu Mansion, how will my lord respond? How will Cao Cao save you?"

Liu Zhang shook his head: "So, it's unlucky for me to vote for Cao Cao, and it's even more unlucky for me not to vote for Cao Cao?"

"Exactly!" Li Yan nodded unceremoniously.

At this moment, Liu Zhang was confused again.

Zhang Song became very angry, seeing that the lord was about to let go and vote for Cao.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Li Yan changed his mind with a few words of persuasion.

I really underestimated Li Yan.

"My lord, Zhengfang's words are wrong!" Zhang Song bowed his hands to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang pointed to Zhang Song and said, "Then tell me!"

Zhang Song said: "The lord can cut off Liu Bei's food and grass, and the prime minister can take advantage of the situation to attack Fushuiguan, and it will be a great success!"

Liu Zhang's expression recovered a little, and he looked at Li Yan again.

Li Yan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, if you run out of food, it's not Liu Bei's food but Yizhou's army that you're going to lose. Most of Liu Bei's subordinates are Yizhou soldiers!"

"This?" Liu Zhang hesitated again.

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "What about Yizhou soldiers? Rebellion is a death penalty!"

Li Yan said again: "Even if the lord runs out of food and Cao Cao can break into the Fushui Pass, will he really save you? Wouldn't it be better to consume Yizhou through your battle with Liu Bei?"

Zhang Song shook his head: "You talk nonsense, is Cao Cao this kind of person?"

Li Yan said: "In the battle of Fushui Pass, Cao Cao borrowed Zhang Luhan's army to attack the pass, and the court soldiers and horses did not move at all. Isn't that enough proof?"

Zhang Song shook his head: "The two Sichuans have enmity. Now that there is Prime Minister Cao Cao, it is natural to attack Fushuiguan as the vanguard!"

Li Yan shook his head: "You are an excuse!"

"You are talking nonsense!" Zhang Song pointed at Li Yan and scolded him.

The two started arguing directly, and they were almost swearing.

Liu Zhang was overwhelmed when he heard this, and slapped the table: "Stop arguing, you two!"

"My lord!" The two of them turned to Liu Zhang one after another, and obediently shut their mouths.

Liu Zhang took a deep breath, looked at Huang Quan who had been silent at the side: "Gongheng, what do you think?"

Huang Quan said: "Master, Yongnian is right!"

Li Yan was upset, Zhang Song smiled, and Liu Zhang's eyes became brighter.

But Huang Quan changed the subject and said, "What Zheng Fang said is not unreasonable!"

"What are you talking about?" Liu Zhang was dumbfounded.

Zhang Song said, "Gongheng, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean, what we say makes sense?" Li Yan couldn't help asking Huang Quan.

Huang Quan bowed his hands to Liu Zhang: "My lord's words are true. Whether I vote for Cao Cao or not, I will be in trouble for Yizhou. It seems that Liu Bei is trapped in it, but in fact, I have already fallen into the gutter built by the two of them!"

"Hey!" Liu Zhang sighed, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

Huang Quan said: "Stand still, don't offend Cao Cao and don't offend Liu Bei!"

Liu Zhang said, "You mean, do nothing?"

"That's right!" Huang Quan nodded.

Liu Zhang shook his head: "Wouldn't that mean letting others slaughter you and sitting in Chengdu waiting to die?"

Huang Quan shook his head: "Dare to ask my lord, does Yizhou still have the strength to resist anyone?"

"You?" Liu Zhang pointed at Huang Quan, furious.

When Liu Bei was welcomed into Yizhou, Huang Quan strongly opposed it.

Well now, it's been revealed.

Huang Quan threw stones at his master.

"That's all!" Liu Zhang waved his hand: "You all go down, I want to be alone!"

"Obey!" The three of them cupped their hands one after another and retreated one after another.

……

Xiahou Dun led [-] troops into the city a few days ago.

Today, Xu Chu came again with three thousand Qingqi.

As soon as he entered the Chinese army, he was presented with Cao Cao's sword and letters.

The sword was handed over to the son Cao Pi, and the letter was handed over to Liu Xian, the military commander.

Cao Pi reached out and took his father's sword, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Liu Xian also began to open Cao Cao's letters.

Xu Chudao: "The Prime Minister has something to say, all matters in Hefei will be decided after discussion between Young Master and Master Jijiu!"

"As ordered!"

Liu Xian and Cao Pi bowed their hands one after another.

On the contrary, Xiahoudun, who was standing in the corner, looked uneasy, and asked, "Zhongkang, did the prime minister explain anything else?"

"No!" Xu Chu shook his head.

"Really?" Xiahou Dun continued to ask.

"Indeed not!" Xu Chu nodded again.

"Understood!" Xia Houdun sullenly said nothing.

In terms of seniority, he is undoubtedly a veteran of Cao Ying, and no one followed Cao Cao earlier than him.

But in terms of ability, Liu Xian's ability is beyond doubt.

The Sanjiangkou War and the Weinan War alone are enough to prove his talent.

One of the two is capable and the other is qualified.

It is difficult for anyone to lead Hefei alone.

But Cao Cao handed the sword to Cao Pi, and ordered him to take charge of the affairs of Hefei City.

After all, Cao Pi is his son Cao Cao.

Liu Xian had nothing to say, and Xiahou Dun couldn't object either.

But Xiahou Dun was unhappy because he thought Cao Cao asked him to come to Hefei at first because he wanted to take power in Hefei.

It's all right now, it's fine for Cao Pi to be the master of the house, let him discuss with Liu Xian, and put Xiahou Dun aside.

Xiahou Dun was not angry at Cao Pi and Liu Xian, but felt that he was left out by Cao Cao.

Liu Xian saw Xiahou Dun's mood, and quickly gave Cao Pi a wink.

Cao Pi stepped forward and bowed his hands to Xiahou Dun: "Uncle has the oldest qualifications, and I need your advice on everything in Hefei City!"

Hearing this, Xiahou Dun's face softened a little.

Cao Pi said again: "With the help of Master and Uncle, Hefei can be stabilized!"

"Hahaha!" Xiahou Dun laughed.
