Chapter 490: Liu Bei: The dirty water is ready, don't sacrifice yourself, Shiyuan

~5 min read 816 words

Liu Bei pacified Nanzhong in less than two months and also obtained the beautiful lady Miss Zhu Rong, shocking the people of Nanzhong and shocking the other people of Yizhou!

Liu Zhang was weak, and everyone finally saw a strong and benevolent lord.

Liu Zhang felt great pressure,

"Liu Bei actually pacified Nanzhong in two battles!"

Wang Lei sighed long,

"My lord, Liu Bei is now using Nanzhong as a backing; I'm afraid he is going to take action against you and me."

Liu Zhang panicked,

"Then what should we do? Liu Bei is brave and good at fighting, and now he has barbarian soldiers to help. How can our army block him!"

Zhang Ren stepped out,

"My lord, do not worry. Chengdu city is high and thick, and there are fifty thousand elite soldiers guarding it; how can it be easily broken?"

As for leaving the city to fight a decisive battle with Liu Bei, Zhang Ren didn't dare to be so arrogant.

Wang Lei cupped his hands,

"My lord, Liu Bei came to help fight. If he has no reason to attack us, all the people of Yizhou will not agree. Our army only needs to defend strictly and not give him an excuse. After a long time, he will inevitably have to retreat."

Liu Zhang felt this method was feasible; I am cowardly and don't provoke you, so you can't do anything to me.

Wei County,

Guo Jia cupped his hands,

"My lord, Liu Zhang sent Leng Bao to lead ten thousand troops to occupy the northern part of Yuexi Commandery, and also appointed Li Yi to lead troops to Jianning Commandery and serve as Jianning Administrator."

Everyone was furious,

Zhang Fei slapped the table hard,

"This Liu Zhang doesn't even give us grain and fodder now, and instead, without even saying hello, he sent people to directly occupy the places we just conquered!"

Taishi Ci cupped his hands,

"My lord, I am willing to be the vanguard and take Shu Commandery directly!"

"I am also willing to be the vanguard."

Gan Ning, however, cupped his hands and said,

"My lord, I have an old friendship with Li Yi; I can go to persuade him to surrender. This person is a weather vane and will definitely defect."

Liu Bei knew this person Li Yi; it could be said that he had no loyalty at all, and he was also a "three-surname slave," but he wasn't very famous and was overshadowed by Lu Bu.

At first, Li Yi was originally a subordinate of Zhao Wei, killed Zhao Wei, and defected to Liu Zhang,

Seeing that Liu Zhang was not doing well, he hurriedly defected to Liu Bei,

Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, and he rebelled again, defecting to the Wu Kingdom!

However, he could be used just right now; Liu Bei was just worrying about having no reason to fall out with Liu Zhang.

Pang Tong had an idea in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said,

"My lord, this person Li Yi can be used."

Liu Bei smiled,

"Shiyuan, tell me how he should be used?"

"My lord, this person Li Yi is profit-seeking and forgets righteousness. My lord can first let people hint that you want to appoint him as Yizhou Inspector."

Gan Ning was anxious,

"Pang Shiyuan, what virtue and ability does Li Yi have to be Yizhou Inspector? He will turn around and sell you out."

Pang Tong smiled,

"I just want him to turn around and sell me out. After he defects, my lord will not mention this matter at all. This person will inevitably rebel and attack us."

"He was appointed by Liu Zhang; attacking us is equivalent to Liu Zhang attacking us for no reason. My lord can logically lead the army north and take Chengdu directly!"

Everyone was shocked; this plan of Pang Tong's is good!

Miss Zhu Rong sighed inwardly; the Central Plains people really have eight hundred heart-eyes, full of wisdom, and have figured out human nature thoroughly.

Pang Tong cupped his hands,

"My lord, I am willing to lead five thousand troops to form an alliance with Li Yi. His mentality is unbalanced, and he is eager to make contributions, so he will inevitably attack me."

Liu Bei? Pang Tong is planning to put himself in a dangerous place.

"That won't do. You, Pang Shiyuan, have only been married for a short time; what if something happens? I will do this myself; Li Yi will inevitably fall into the trap."

Pang Tong indeed had the thought of repaying Liu Bei's kindness of knowing him,

If he were really unfortunately killed this time, it would give his lord even more reason to attack Liu Zhang.

But he didn't expect,

Liu Bei was unwilling to let him take the risk, and instead wanted to take the risk himself.

Pang Tong was moved to tears,
