Ma Xuan stayed in Wancheng for only one day, and left Wancheng the next day. Xingye rushed back in the direction of Xiangyang.

When he arrived in Xiangyang and saw Liu Qi, Ma Xuan told Liu Qi seriously about everything in Wancheng, including the content of Jia Xu's conversation with him.

Liu Qi did not show surprise at Jia Xu's remarks.

Jia Xu is the most wise man of this era. It is reasonable that he can figure out the plans he has set clearly.

However, even if he sees through it, he cannot explain it from his current position.

Because in a sense, Jia Xu's desire to perish Niu Fu... would even be higher than Wang Yun and Lu Bu.

Although Ma Xuan brought some tough words to Liu Qi, Liu Qi didn't care.

Because in his opinion, what Jia Xu's words deeply reflect his helplessness and his urgency.

The matter in the north of Xiangyang was finalized, and Liu Qi could finally start preparing for the Western Expedition with confidence.

Although the establishment of the Guardian Agency is less than two months away, Liu Qi has already invested a lot of funds and manpower in spying and training spies. Although it was established for a short time, the Guardian Agency is on track very quickly.

Xu Shu got started with this process very quickly. It took him a very short time to collect the information that Liu Qi needed before going to war.

In the hall of Mu Shou Mansion, Liu Qi sat in the main seat, and there were a group of confidants standing on the left and right below. Xu Shu stood in the middle of the hall, in front of a huge Pitu paved on the ground, and pointed out the city and plank roads on the Pitu to the crowd, and told the situation in Yizhou.

"After Liu Zhang killed his brother, his reputation was greatly affected in Shu. Many families in Shu were unwilling to accept his family were ready to move at this moment, trying to overthrow Liu Zhang. After all, when Liu Yan first entered Shu, the conflict with the local tyrants in Shu County was too great, especially when Jia Long, Lei Yu, Wu Yi and others opposed Shu, which made the Shu family even more ready to move. Now Ren Qi from Jianwei County has welcomed Liu Zhang's second brother Liu Dan. If nothing unexpected happens, Ren Qi will definitely organize troops again, join forces with Jia Long, and launch a military force in Mianzhu, so that Liu Zhang cannot take care of each other."

Speaking of this, Xu Shu turned to look at Liu Qi and said, "The guards under the last official found out that Jia Long had already begun to consolidate his troops and deploy military affairs, which was very intended to go from Shangyong County to Sichuan."

Among the generals under Liu Qi's command, Yan Yan was most furious when he heard the news.

He stepped out of his squad and bowed to Liu Qi, "Jia Long has a strange ambition. If he doesn't report to the lord, he will gather troops and horses to enter Shu privately, and his intentions will be punished."

Liu Qi did not get angry, and he smiled faintly: "Jia Long is also from Shu. He has been away for more than three years but cannot return to Shu. Now that Liu Yan has died of illness, it is normal for him to have a chance to return to his hometown. It is normal for him to be anxious... It is just a natural person."

Yan Yan has always been very annoyed about Jia Long. After all, Jia Long was the one who forced him to rebel back then... and Yan Yan really looked down on Jia Long's things he did over the years.

People who are selfish and ambitious have almost no bottom line in their actions.

But seeing Liu Qi protecting him, Yan Yan didn't say much, but just gritted his teeth and stepped back.

Huang Zhong looked at Liu Qi and said, "June, will you invite Jia Long to attack each other this time?"

Liu Qi said affirmatively: "Jia Long has a very high prestige in Shu County. There are many powerful people in Shu County and Guanghan County who put the Jia family first. If you want to quickly decide Shu, then we naturally need the Jia family... At this time, you should not offend the Jia family."

When everyone heard this, they were deeply convinced.

But at the same time, everyone was also worried... using Jialong to unite the local tyrants in Yizhou to attack, of course, but in the process, how much benefit does it have to be promised to the local tyrants in Shuzhong?

Once things are done, will these promises be fulfilled or not?

But it is too early for Jingzhou people to win the victory and gain benefits. The key point is how to conquer Yizhou first.

Liu Qi said seriously: "As the saying goes, the road to Shu is difficult, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Even if several routes attack at the same time, it is not easy to successfully defeat Liu Zhang... It still needs to be carefully planned. What good plans do you have?"

Xu Shu bowed and said to Liu Qi: "Junhou, according to the opinions of the last officials, if you want to conquer Yizhou, you will have nothing more than three attacks. Jia Long sent troops from Shangyong to the same route. Ren Qi sent troops from Jianwei County to the same route. Junhou went up the river and walked to Jiangguan. Ren Qi and Jia Long were both from Shu. They knew how to attack Shu. But only Junhou was outsiders to Shu people. Now we are taking the initiative to attack the east and west, and we can attack Shu people unprepared. First break the Jiangguan area and open the door to Shu. But then how should we attack the hinterland of Shu? This is the key."

Liu Qi is now a veteran of marching for many years, so he naturally understands Xu Shu's concerns.

"What Yuan Zhi was worried about was my worries. There were too many passes in Shuzhong. We were not familiar with the terrain of Shuzhong. We were afraid that we could not move forward after entering Shu..."

Xu Shu sighed: "The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous. People in the world know that after conquering Jiang Pass, it will take a lot of trouble every time you pass. If the migration is delayed for a long time, there may be unexpected problems in the back of Jingzhou..."

Xu Shu said very much. The natural barriers formed by nature cannot be solved by the strength of soldiers and human wisdom.

Just imagine that the Ji Han regime in history was in a poor and weak Shu area, facing the Cao Wei regime that was more than six times stronger, but could last for 42 years without destruction. This shows the mystery of nature's magical skills.

If Liu Chan's regime is established in another state, facing Cao Wei, it will be difficult for 42 years, not to mention forty-two years.

In response to this, Liu Qi looked at Yan Yan, Gan Ning, Shen Mi and Lou Fa.

These four people are all locals in Shu. Only by letting them guide the way can the Jingzhou army invade Yizhou on a large scale.

Gan Ning seemed to feel Liu Qi's gaze. He said in embarrassment: "Judge forgive me. When Gan Ning was young, he was ignorant and unruly. He didn't know much about the customs and lands of the county passes in Shu, and his knowledge was really limited..."

When Gan Ning was young, he was a wealthy and rich man who caused trouble. He called his friends and did not do good things day by day. Until he became a full adult, Cai became a little successful and pointed at him to provide him with information from Shuzhong... Then Liu Qi was afraid that he would never be able to enter Sichuan for the rest of his life.

"From the future, be more careful." Liu Qi shook his head helplessly and looked at the other three.

Yan Yan bowed and said, "Don't worry, Lord and Lord, Yan knows all the ways of the passes in Shu, and he will definitely lead the way for Lord and Lord."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction. At the critical moment, Yan Yan was much more reliable than Gan Ning.

Lou Fa, a native of Shu County, raised a question: "Junhou, although Yan Jun knows the various roads in Shu, he may not be able to lead the way properly. Because there are big villages in each checkpoint in Shu, each mountain. In dangerous places, the villages are used as passes, and sometimes they may receive miraculous effects. There are many mountain roads and are extremely difficult and dangerous. If you don't know where these warehouses of each county are located, you will only rely on the transportation from Jingzhou to Yizhou, you will be afraid..."

"I understand Lou Jun's meaning... But I'm afraid that Duke Yan may not know all the Zhaika set up by Liu Zhang in a dangerous place or the warehouses of various counties in Shu, right? He must have an insider."

Xu Shu said on the side: "That's exactly that."

Liu Qi looked at Yan Yan, Chen Mi and Lou Fa again.

Yan Yan smiled bitterly and said, "My brother has driven me out of the clan. Yan is in Shu and has no friends to hold important positions under Liu Zhang."

Chen Mi said: "The last official... I can't think of any good candidate for a while."

Lou Fa pondered for a moment and suddenly said slowly: "The last official is in Chengdu, Shu County, and he has a close friend. He heard that he is the current magistrate of Mianzhu County. His position is not high. However, his father and brother are the Zhang family of Shu County. He is famous and highly valued by Liu Yan. Because of his appearance, this person has never been taken seriously in the clan. If he asks him for help, he may be able to accomplish anything."
