Yizhou, Chengdu.

Although Bashu is mountainous, Chengdu is flat, especially around Chengdu.

Outside the city, on the official road.

A carriage came slowly and ran to the gate.

Cheng yuduan sits in the carriage.

Dressed in a blue robe, Cheng Yu sits upright and waits quietly.

On Cao Cao's order, he was sent to Chengdu to unite with Liu Zhang, a herdsman in Yizhou. Yizhou and Jingzhou border on each other. As long as Liu Zhang is willing to attack Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu must be attacked from both sides.

After the carriage entered the city, it settled in an inn.

After a rest, Cheng Yu went to the prefecture to see Liu Zhang.

After the soldiers report, Cheng Yu enters the hall of the mansion.

Please take your seat!

Liu Zhang's eyes fell on Cheng Yu and said, "what's the matter with Duke Zhong De coming to Chengdu?"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "I've come to see Liu Yizhou to make a win-win deal with him."

"What deal?"

There was a touch of curiosity in Liu Zhang's eyes.

It's the first time that Cao Cao and Liu Zhang have made a deal. It's strange.

But Cheng Yu did not answer for a moment, saying: "I heard that Zhang Ren, a general under Liu Yizhou, has now been subordinated to Liu Xiu and is the chief General of the Fifth Army under Liu Xiu's account. I don't know. What does Liu Yizhou think about it? "

When Zhang Ren was mentioned, it hit Liu Zhang's heart.

Liu Zhang had considerable trust in Zhang Ren. Although he removed Zhang Ren from office, he had no intention of recovering in the future.

However, Zhang Ren betrayed.

This kind of thing made Liu Zhang very angry.

Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "once Zhang Ren is caught by our official, he will be skinned and cramped. Hum, it's not a pity to die for these traitors. "

Cheng Yu smell speech, the corner of the mouth stirred up a smile.

Just now, he deliberately proposed Zhang Ren to stimulate Liu Zhang and try the depth of Liu Zhang's palace.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang opened his mouth and said everything.

Moreover, all the thoughts are revealed.

Liu Zhang's city hall is understood by Cheng Yu, and there is nothing to hide.

Cheng Yu continued: "Liu Yizhou hates Zhang Ren, and so does the prime minister. When Zhang Ren worked for Liu Yizhou, he didn't do his best, so that the army failed. Only by following Liu Xiu can we give full play to our strength. Not only easily defeated the prime minister's army, but also won the favor of Liu Xiu. It's really a good city. "

Liu Zhang's anger soared when he heard Cheng Yu's words.

Cheng Yu was not enough, and continued: "at the beginning, Liu Xiu presented Nanyang County to Liu Yizhou, and Liu Yizhou let Zhang Ren take charge. Today, Zhang Ren is still in charge of Nanyang County, but Nanyang County has become Liu Xiu's. At this time, the territory Liu Yizhou had laid down was stolen by Liu Xiu. Is Liu Yizhou really willing? "

Liu Zhang's anger was stirred up little by little. He sat upright, but he had already clenched his fist.

Cheng Yu continued: "Liu Yizhou, is it..."

"Stop it!"

Liu Zhang roared, his eyes became more angry than ever.

For Liu Xiu, he did not dare to provoke, so that his anger had already accumulated. Now, with Cheng Yu's provocation, Liu Zhang is extremely irritable.

Cheng Yu was more confident. As soon as his words changed, he came back to the topic and said, "I'm here to offer Liu Yizhou a chance to avenge himself and defeat Zhang Ren. Is Liu Yizhou going to give up this opportunity? "

"What do you call a deal?"

Although Liu Zhang was angered by Cheng Yu, he suddenly returned to the topic.

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "the so-called transaction is very simple. Unite to attack Jingzhou."

Liu Zhang asked, "how to attack?"

Cheng Yu said: "it's very simple. The prime minister sent troops from Nanyang County to attack Nanyang County, which belongs to Jingzhou. At the same time, Liu Yizhou sent troops from Bajun to attack Nanjun. The prime minister promised to seize Nanyang County, and after taking Zhang Ren, he handed Zhang Ren over to Liu Yizhou. "

But Liu Zhang was silent and said, "however, Liu Xiu is not an easy man."

Cheng Yu chuckled and said: "the prime minister's defeat in the past was due to his carelessness, which made Liu Xiu succeed. This time, it's impossible. Moreover, with Liu Yizhou's powerful soldiers, can Liu Xiu resist? Even if there is a war between Nanjun and Nanyang, will Jiangdong just sit back and ignore it? At that time, Jiangdong may also attack Jingzhou from the East. Liu Yizhou, can you really tolerate Zhang Ren. If so, it is the prime minister's mistake. "

As soon as Liu Zhang thought of Zhang Ren, he was angry. He waved his hand and said, "Duke Zhongde has come a long way. Let's go down and have a rest. I'm going to call on the generals under my command to discuss and then make a decision. "

"No!"

Cheng Yu bows his hand and then turns back.Liu Zhang had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "come, please come to discuss the matter with Fazheng, Zhang song, Li Yan and Pang Xi."

"No!"

When the servant got the order, he turned down to convey the order.

About two quarters of an hour later, Fazheng, Zhang Song and other four people came to the hall.

"See you, Lord!"

The four met Liu Zhang and bowed to him.

Liu Zhang motioned for the four men to take their seats, and then said, "Cao Cao sent envoy Cheng Yu to Chengdu. Just now he met my official and said that he wanted to unite with my official to attack Jingzhou. Cao Cao means that they attack Nanyang County, and we attack Nanyang County from Bajun county. Once Cao Cao wins, Zhang Ren will be handed over to his official. "

Zhang song, FA Zheng and others are all human spirits. When they hear this, they understand that Liu Zhang has moved his mind. Because Zhang Ren is loyal to Liu Xiu, Liu Zhang is very angry.

Zhang Song said, "Lord, Liu Xiu can defeat Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops. It's hard to attack Liu Xiu."

Liu Zhang heard the speech and said in a deep voice: "the reason why Cao Cao was defeated was that he was careless at the beginning. Moreover, I didn't intervene at the beginning. Now, the two sides are sending troops together. Even when Sun Quan of Jiangdong learns about it, he may also send troops to attack Liu Xiu. At that time, where can Liu Xiu stop it? "

Zhang Song wanted to persuade him again, but he was stopped by the legislator shaking his head.

Li Yan asked: "Lord, if we want to send troops, when will we send troops?"

Liu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "naturally, the sooner the better."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "if you want to send troops, I suggest that you wait until the spring of next year to consider sending troops. It's a cold winter now, and it's quite difficult for the army to get out of Sichuan and Cross Mountains. When it comes to spring next year, the weather is just right, so it's more appropriate to send troops. "

After hearing this, Liu Zhang nodded and said, "if the dialect is reasonable, I will inform Cheng Yu and decide to send troops next year."

Li Yan said, "all of you are wise."

Liu Zhang discussed with Pang Xi, Zhang song, FA Zheng and others, and decided to unite with Cao Cao. Then he asked them to step down and prepare to get in touch with Cheng Yu.

Zhang Song and Fazheng went out of the house. Zhang Song got into Fazheng's carriage and said in a hurry, "Xiaozhi, Liu Zhang will send troops to attack Jingzhou, which is bound to have an impact on the princes. Why don't you stop him?"

After returning to Chengdu, Fazheng has convinced Zhang song to be loyal to Liu Xiu. Now, Zhang song is also Liu Xiu's person.

Fazheng said: "brother ziqiao, we are in Chengdu. Do you think the guild is defeated? What's more, although my Lord has temporarily stopped fighting and recuperated, not everyone can handle it. This time Liu Zhang sent troops, we can inform the Lord in advance, let him make preparations early, and then mediate. Do you understand? "

After hearing this, Zhang Song brightened his eyes and exclaimed, "Xiaozhi, your idea is very good. This time, we'll do it. Liu Zhang thought he could win, but he didn't know that he would lose. "

Fazheng said, "that's the truth."

When they arrived at Fazheng's house, they discussed the matter, and immediately contacted the royal guards in their house to send the news to Jingzhou.
