Chapter 576 Persuading Liu Biao

"The king of Hanzhong knew that General Zhang Liao had worked hard, so he specially asked him to come to visit the general. In addition, Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses have reached Yangping Pass, and he also asked General Zhang Liao to go out and lead troops to stop Liu Zhang, so as to keep me safe in Hanzhong. Yan Pu knew that Zhang Liao was a tough general under Lv Bu. He did not ask for anything directly, but said tentatively.

"Ha ha, what you said is that our army originally came to share the worries of the king of Han. After a few days of rest, we should indeed do our best for the people of Hanzhong, but Wancheng is just a small place. There are really fewer soldiers and horses that I came to lead this time, only enough to go to Wancheng and Chang'an in Hanzhong. It's just repairing on the road. I'm afraid that the matter of Yangping Pass needs to be included by the king of Hanzhong. However, you can rest assured that the difficulties of the king of Hanzhong have been written to the regent. I believe that the prince's army will come soon. At that time, Liu Zhang naturally dares not make trouble. For Yanpu's request, Zhang Liao just smiled and refused. Of course, since Yanpu came, Zhang Liao would not let him go for nothing, so he proposed to build the road from Chang'an and Wancheng in Hanzhong by the way. In this way, Zhang Liao can control these two major traffic roads, and at the same time prepare for the soldiers and horses to enter and leave Hanzhong in the future. Once the road is smooth, it is very easy for Yongzhou's soldiers and horses to enter Hanzhong or Zhang Liao to take soldiers back to Fangwan City.

"This? The general didn't know that General Zhang Wei had gone to Yangping Pass to garrison in the morning. Now the situation in Yangping Pass is really worrying. If Liu Zhang's soldiers break through Yangping Pass, I'm afraid that Hanzhong will fall into Liu Zhang's hands. Seeing that Zhang Liao and Ben didn't buy their own accounts, Yanpu said bitterly again.

"Ha ha, I heard that you are an important minister around the king of Hanzhong next morning, and the king of Hanzhong is also very important to you. Now it seems that this rumor is not comprehensive enough, and I admire your loyalty to the king of Hanzhong. This is a talent like you. If you just stay in Hanzhong, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a better development. I don't know if you have ever heard of the name of Pang Tong? Xiang Pang Tong was just a visiting scholar in Ye City that day, but he was favored by the regent. Now he has guarded Wancheng, and his future is even more unlimited. Are you really willing to stay in this place of Hanzhong for the rest of your life? Zhang Liao did not have anything to do with Yanpu about this matter. Instead, he talked about Yanpu's private affairs. Although it was just a few words, it made Yanpu suddenly moved. Yan Pu naturally understood that it sounds like Zhang Lu, the king of Han, and Lv Bu, the regent, are generally the princes of the Han Dynasty, but the gold content between the two kings is not the same. Lv Bu already has a tendency to dominate the world, and Zhang Lu is just a corner and can only rely on people in the future, but he does not need to follow Zhang. Lu succumbed to others together. Now there is a big opportunity in front of us. Should we seize it?

"Ha ha, my army is not familiar with the place in Hanzhong. There are still many things to rely on you in the future. What I just said is just a word from the bottom of my heart on the moment. If you don't like it, just think Zhang Liao has never said it." Seeing Yanpu's heartbeat, Zhang Liao smiled and said deliberately.

"What does the general say? It is a blessing for the general to contribute to the regent. Although the general can rest assured, Yanpu will do his best to help the general gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong." Seeing Zhang Liao's words, Yan Piao quickly expressed his attitude. At this time, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses were already in Hanzhong City. As the saying goes, it is easier to send God. At this time, Yan Piao just thought about it a little and had already clarified the stakes in it. He was determined to change the hall, work for Zhang Liao, and plan for himself.

"Your Excellency is willing to help me, which is really my blessing. I believe that the regent will be very happy when he knows about this." At this time, Zhang Liao naturally patted Yanpu on the shoulder, and then kept him. The two of them drank, ate meat and talked with each other.

However, the news that Zhang Liao led his troops into Hanzhong spread to Xinye. Liu Bei quickly gathered his generals and said, "Now that Zhang Liao led his troops to attack Hanzhong, Wancheng must be empty. It is the time when we use troops. If we can take Wancheng in one fell swoop, we will greatly increase our strength. How about you guys?" After learning that Zhang Liao left Wancheng and took away a lot of soldiers and horses, Liu Bei was very happy and felt that this was his opportunity. If he could take Wancheng, he would become one of the princes in the world again and re-enter the ranks of princes.

"Hahaha, my brother's words are really good. I think we might as well leave immediately and go to Wancheng overnight. We will definitely catch him off guard." Zhang Fei jumped up first and shouted.

"Don't worry, third brother. I have a relationship with Zhang Liao. I know that Zhang Liao's ability is by no means a false reputation. This time, Zhang Liao personally led his troops to Hanzhong, and there must be a backhand in Wancheng. It is not so easy to take it down. In my opinion, we still need to be fully prepared, otherwise I'm afraid it will be empty and happy." At this time, Guan Yu stood up and said. Although Guan Yu is very conceited and few people in the world can see it, he esteems Zhang Liao very much and thinks that he is a great general, so Guan Yu believes that Zhang Liao will not leave Wancheng there for nothing and let himself pick up a bargain.

"What the second brother said makes sense. After Zhang Liao left Wancheng, Pang Tong was responsible for everything in Wancheng." With that, Liu Bei looked up at Zhao Yun beside him and said, "General Zhao, how much do you know about Guan Yu and Pang Tong?"

"My lord, when my subordinates were by Lv Bu's side, I had never heard of Pang Tong. I think Pang Tong fell under Lv Bu's command after I left." After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Yun said seriously. Zhao Yun really has no impression of the name Pang Tong.

"You didn't fall under Lv Bu until you left? So this person has not been under Lv Bu's command for a long time. Zhang Liao actually let this person be stationed in such an important place as Wancheng, but this person must be extraordinary. Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning. Although Pang Tong was not well-known, he could get the trust of Lv Bu and Zhang Liao, which shows that this person was not an ordinary person.

"It seems that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long-term." At this time, Guan Yu also frowned and said.

"Two brothers, Pang Tong is just a newcomer. If the two brothers are afraid, let me lead the troops to deal with him. If we are all so tied up, what can we do?" Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Zhang Fei, who was beside him, said unhung be unhappy.

"Hahaha, Sandi is right. Everything will be risky. If we are too timid, we don't have to do anything." After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Liu Bei laughed, as if the pimples in his heart were suddenly untied. He glanced at everyone and then continued to say, "We are enemies of Lv Bu, and we have the intention of being loyal to the country. Even if we are crushed, we will not let a traitor like Lv Bu in charge. Now that there is a chance, we will naturally We can't let it go. Of course, we should also be fully prepared to pass the order, so that the soldiers are ready to fight at any time, and I will immediately go to Xiangyang and borrow troops from Liu Biao. As long as we can get Liu Biao's support, even if there is something wrong with Pang Tong, we have nothing to worry about.

"Big brother, Cai Shi, Liu Biao's wife, has always been hostile to the eldest brother. This time, the eldest brother went to borrow troops and can't go easily. If you want to go, you should also have our brother to accompany you." Seeing that Liu Bei was going to Xiangyang to borrow troops, Guan Yu quickly stepped forward and said. Although Liu Biao is still in power in Jingzhou now, Liu Biao must be old. Many things in Xiangyang are controlled by the Cai family. In addition, Cai's younger brother Cai Mao holds the military power of Xiangyang, which creates a situation where the Cai family is dominant. Guan Yu can't but worry about this.

"What the second brother said is that a family is willing to go to Xiangyang with his brother, and he will meet the Cai family for a while." At this time, Zhang Fei also came over and said.

"The two generals have never had the opportunity to serve the lord when they came down to the lord. This time, if you can trust me, Zhao Yun, let Zhao accompany the lord." At this time, Zhao Yun also stood up and said to Liu Guanzhang. At this time, the Xinye War is approaching. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as Liu Bei's sworn brothers, hold the power of Xinye's soldiers and horses, and it is naturally difficult to get rid of it. Only Zhao Yun, who came to Liu Bei's side soon, did not have any actual power at that time. At this time, Xinye prepared for the war. If Zhao Yun did too much, he was suspected of grasping military power. Doubt, it's better to go to Xiangyang with Liu Bei. It can not only get Liu Bei's trust, but also avoid possible conflicts with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in terms of military power. It is a way out of both worlds.

"Two virtuous brothers, now that the war is approaching, you still stay in Xinye and monitor the situation in Wancheng while preparing for the war. Just let Zhao Yun go to Xiangyang with me. Although the cuisine is domineering, Liu Biao must be the master of Jingzhou. I believe that Zhao Yun is by my side, and he will never dare to mess around. After saying that, Liu Bei got up and took Zhao Yun to Xiangyang together.

A few days later, when Liu Bei came to Xiangyang, he was immediately received by Liu Biao. It turned out that although Liu Biao was often unwell, he had been paying close attention to the movement of the Central Plains.

"Is it that you want me to go to Wancheng with you?" As soon as he saw Liu Bei, Liu Biao asked directly. Obviously, he already knew the purpose of Liu Bei's trip.

"Brother clearly saw that Zhang Liaoyuan went to Hanzhong, and Wancheng was empty. Our army could take this opportunity to capture Wancheng. As long as he took Wancheng, he would have a solid fortress and could block Lv Bu outside Jingzhou. I don't know what my brother wanted?" Seeing that Liu Biao already knew his intention, Liu Bei did not say more and said directly.
