Chapter 219 The real local tyrant
"Sir, do you think it's not okay to take this opportunity to assassinate Liu Zhang?" Outside Fu County, Liu Yi directed the craftsmen to prepare for the upcoming meeting. Wei Yan was a resignation today and had no position. He came to Liu Yi and chatted with Liu Yi in a random manner, and finally asked the questions in his heart.
"Shi Yuan asked you to come?" Liu Yi sat on a bluestone and glanced at Wei Yan.
"Yeah." Wei Yan nodded, and did not hide it. After all, only Liu Bei, Liu Yi, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng knew about this matter. Now that it could be heard in Wei Yan's ears, Liu Bei naturally could not speak nonsense. Fa Zheng had returned to Liu Zhang, and only Pang Tong was left.
"You two are perfect matches." Liu Yi shook his head and said, "No matter whether the assassination can be successful, even if you are successful, what will happen to the 30,000 troops brought by Liu Zhang? What will the soldiers in Shu react?"
Wei Yan frowned. Pang Tong obviously had a solution. He was about to say it again, but was interrupted by Liu Yi.
"I probably understand what the Shiyuan had in his plan was nothing more than using the power of the Dongzhou scholars or the Shu scholars to pacify Yizhou as soon as possible. But in this way, is Yizhou the lord or the scholars of these scholars? What should I do if the lord is the name of benevolence and virtue? We do not only have Yizhou, but also to enter the Central Plains in the future. The reputation that the lord has preserved over the years has been completely exhausted. In the future, why can we let the people return to our hearts?"
You have to admit that Pang Tong has strong abilities, but this ability is more reflected in strategic vision. In this regard, Pang Tong is beyond Zhuge Liang. In fact, Zhuge Liang is not as magical as later generations, but he is comprehensive. He is not as good as Pang Tong in military terms. He is not as good as Pang Tong in terms of advice, but he is not as good as the law, but he can cover everything and everything is not bad.
However, what Liu Bei needs most now is military talents, so this time he entered Shu, Pang Tong followed him, while Zhuge Liang was in charge of Liu Bei.
But now, Liu Yi thinks that it should be reversed. What you need to enter Shu is not only military talent, but also sufficient political skills. In this regard, Pang Tong is much inferior to Zhuge Liang.
"Anyway, don't interfere with this matter. We don't have much foundation in Shu. If we turn against each other at this time, we might have to leave in shame in the end." Liu Yi took the carving knife in his hand back into his sleeve and looked at Wei Yan.
Wei Yan nodded, but said nothing, just frowned and thought about something, standing beside Liu Yi and not leaving.
Liu Yi ignored him. This time the meeting between the two sides, Liu Yi was responsible for the preparation and reception work. Since the design of this banquet venue was handed over to him, it would not be too luxurious, but it would always make people feel relaxed and happy.
Weather issues have to be considered, so Liu Yi designed the banquet venue for both parties into a corridor structure, with an open-air stage in the middle. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the soldiers dancing swords to cheer up. If the weather is bad and it rains, sitting in the corridor while drinking a banquet and enjoying the scenery is also a good choice.
Corridor-style banquet: Comfortable +34, relaxed and happy +31, guests and hosts are happy +33, peaceful mentality +35,
The four attributes are already good for a temporary banquet venue. After all, time is a bit too long, and Liu Yi cannot do it perfectly, let alone set up a mechanism.
Besides, why do you design the agency if you have nothing to do?
Silently looking away, Liu Yi suddenly thought of a fun question. Which one is Liu Bei or Liu Zhang, is it considered a guest and which one is the main one?
He shook his head and didn't think about this profound philosophy. However, as Liu Bei's subordinate, Liu Yi naturally had to consider Liu Bei's aspect, so he naturally did not want to harm Liu Zhang. He just had to do some tricks and tricks in the position of the guest and the position of the guest. Liu Zhang's position and Liu Bei's position were placed in some subtle arrangements, and Liu Yi specially added eye-catching attributes to Liu Bei.
At least in this banquet, Liu Yi's purpose was to make Liu Bei, who was sitting in the guest position, more eye-catching than Liu Zhang, the host. Now it seems nothing. After someone sits, the effect of this attribute and the subtle placement of the position can show power, and it can also make Liu Zhang's subordinates unable to find fault, and even make them feel that Liu Zhang is far inferior to Liu Bei, laying the foundation for the future.
Liu Zhang’s journey from Chengdu to Fu County was not difficult to walk, and it was a smooth journey. Not long after Liu Yi’s banquet hall was built, Liu Zhang had already brought a large group of men.
In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the two sides were banqueting guests in the corridor set up in advance. This time, Liu Zhang's trip not only brought his generals and 30,000 troops, but also brought Liu Bei a lot of food and supplies. Liu Yi briefly estimated that with his current troops, the ones Liu Zhang sent were enough for a year.
A rich man!
Liu Yi's eyes shone. For any political group, money and food will never be enough. What's more, Liu Yi still has a lot of plans to be stranded by Liu Bei because he had no money. If he could take down this rich man, wouldn't Liu Yi spend a lot of money in the future? As long as Liu Bei promised a few more projects, his skills would be expected to break through to the seventh level.
"The emperor's banquet hall is quite good!" Liu Zhang entered the banquet under the guidance of Liu Bei. Looking at the banquet hall in front of him, he felt the comfort feeling after entering this corridor.
"This was created by my craftsman, the General of the Central Army. This man is a strange man. He has great achievements in the construction of the country, Boyuan." Liu Bei said, calling Liu Yi and introducing him to Liu Zhang.
"I have met the governor of the state." Liu Yi stood up and bowed slightly to Liu Zhang.
"There are so many strange people under the command of the emperor." Liu Zhang nodded slightly at Liu Yi and looked at Liu Bei and said.
After all, he was a governor of a state and a prince. Although Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, or Fa Zheng and Zhang Song, who were under Liu Zhang, were all called weak when talking about Liu Zhang, in Liu Yi's view, as a prince, Liu Zhang still had his own demeanor. It was just because Liu Yi's position was tampered with by Liu Bei, and in this banquet, he seemed a little dull. Not only did the generals under Liu Bei notice it, but Liu Zhang's men also frowned frequently. However, Liu Bei was in a guest seat, but his attitude was also humble and polite. He could also take care of everyone's emotions at the banquet. This demeanor also made these Jingxiang soldiers secretly feel heartbroken, and no one jumped out to make a statement about this matter.
"Sir, did you do it?" Wei Yan sat down while Liu Yi started, and found something wrong. Seeing that no one came to see him, he quietly approached Liu Yi and asked in a low voice.
"I did nothing." Liu Yi said angrily. How could he admit such a thing?
"Hehe, Bo Yuan's move is quite powerful." Pang Tong sat on the other side of Liu Yi, looking at Liu Bei and Liu Zhang who were having a lot of talk. Liu Yi's ability is no longer a secret within the Jingzhou Group. Moreover, Pang Tong had personally understood it. Even if Liu Yi did not admit it, Pang Tong was convinced that Liu Yi had tampered with it. Otherwise, Liu Zhang's performance would not be bad, but at this moment, it was dull and dull in the eyes of everyone, and the limelight was covered by Liu Bei. Logically speaking, this situation would not have happened to him in the main position, but it is really happening now. Only Liu Yi's methods can do such an unreasonable thing.
"Speaking of this, why don't you take this opportunity to take Hanzhong first and then counterattack Liu Zhang?" Liu Yi asked Pang Tong curiously while drinking.
He remembered that Liu Bei stayed in Jiameng Pass for quite some time. If he directly sent troops to attack Zhang Lu, he would leave a foundation for himself here. It would be much easier to attack Liu Zhang when the time comes.
"No, no," Pang Tong held the wine cup and shook his head and sighed: "It's just that the terrain of Hanzhong is dangerous, and no one knows how long it will take. And if you attack Hanzhong, fighter planes appear, or if Liu Zhang gets out of his way, suddenly cut off our retreat. When Hanzhong is not obtained, Liu Zhang will turn against us, and we will be trapped here. This is also the reason why I suggest that the lord take it quickly. If we can seize Xichuan without bloodshed, it will be easy to capture Hanzhong."
To put it bluntly, both of these families have to be eaten in Liu Bei's plan, but the primary and secondary scores are clear. First take Yizhou, at least have a foundation, and then take Hanzhong. If it is reversed, once Yizhou cannot take it, Hanzhong will become an enclave.
When Liu Yi heard this, he nodded silently, groping his chin and thinking about the problem of Hanzhong. Although according to history, Liu Bei could still get Hanzhong, most of the Hanzhong people were moved away by Cao Cao. Liu Bei was short of people, and the population of Hanzhong was moved away, which means that Liu Bei needed to manage Hanzhong, and to migrate part of the Yizhou population. Moreover, after Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong again, which exhausted a lot of strength.
"Is it possible to convince Zhang Lu to surrender?" Liu Yi asked suddenly.
"Yes." Pang Tong nodded with a funny look and said, "First of all, Zhang Lu must understand that it is impossible to defeat our army, and then talk about these things."
Liu Bei is now less than ten thousand soldiers, so why should he ask Zhang Lu to surrender to you?
"Please!" Liu Yi sighed, and then realized that he could not change anything, which was not right. At least there was one thing he could try to change.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on Pang Tong. How to change this?
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Pang Tong was a little furious when Liu Yi stared at him and said with an unhappy look on his face.
Shaking his head, Liu Yi didn't say anything more. Now there is still some time before Liu Bei and Liu Zhang turn against each other. He still has time to change his destiny, so there is no need to worry.
Next, Liu Yi truly realized how rich Liu Zhang was. For more than three months, Liu Zhang was entertaining Liu Bei's soldiers every day, but not just officials and generals, but the entire army brought by Liu Bei, for more than a hundred days. Just this was a considerable expense. Moreover, Liu Zhang also promised that not only gave food, but also supported Liu Bei's troops, which would allow Liu Bei to have enough strength to deal with Zhang Lu!
