If he had the opportunity to deal with Liu Bei with Liu Zheng, Liu Zhang would not have refused at all.

"It's still my virginity who has guessed what the cooperation brother wants to talk to you!"

At this moment, Liu Bei had already heard Liu Zhang's attitude from Liu Zhang's tone.

Liu Zhang would not refuse to cooperate with Liu Zheng, the common enemy, at least under the current circumstances, Liu Zhang had no choice.

选择合作,那是双赢.

选择不合作,那就是双输.

Liu Zhang was besieged in Nanzheng City for many days. Not only were he too scarce, but he lacked food and grass and water sources, but his morale of the soldiers and horses had gradually declined a lot.

Continuing to waste his troops here with Liu Bei will only cause worse situations.

If they can cooperate, the urgency of being besieged can be resolved immediately. On the contrary, Liu Zhang still has a chance to counterattack Liu Zheng and take back the lost Shangyong.

Although Liu Zhang had already thought about how much benefit this matter would have for him, Liu Zhang did not rashly agree to Liu Bei.

After all, it is of great importance, so he still needs to discuss it with his civil servants and military generals.

"Brother Xuande, this matter is of great importance. I still need to discuss it with my staff. You can wait for a while and we will discuss it and then have a long talk with you!"

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he gave Zhang Lu a look and then walked directly to the back of the hall.

Zhang Lu and his group, who saw Liu Zhang's eyes, followed immediately.

Liu Bei knew that they were going to discuss it, so he naturally didn't follow.

而是就在这里等着.

那刘璋带着一行人进入了后堂后.

His face suddenly became serious, and he spoke directly to Zhang Lu on the side and asked him.

"What do you think about what Liu Bei said just now?"

In fact, Liu Zhang had already made a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to ask his opinions about the people around him.

I want to see what they have to say. If you have other ideas, Liu Zhang can also refer to it.

当然,张鲁第一个站出来反对.

"Young Master, I think that Liu Bei is very strange. They have been peeking at our Yizhou for a long time and are even more eyeing Hanzhong. How could they have any good intentions to come to negotiate with us? They must have wanted to take the opportunity to set up some traps and trick our Hanzhong."

"I don't really believe that Liu Bei, so it's better not to believe his one-sided words, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

For Zhang Lu, he had no good feelings for his cooperation with Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei and Liu Zhang strengthened their cooperation, Zhang Lu's territory would become smaller and smaller. Most of Hanzhong is now out of his control.

Some of them were occupied by Liu Zheng, and the other part was taken away by Liu Bei's men. If Liu Bei and Liu Zhang cooperated again, the territory left for Zhang Lu would only decrease.

Zhang Lu invited Liu Zhang to come, but he came to help, so he naturally didn't want to see them cooperate.

When Liu Zhang heard Zhang Lu's words, his face remained unchanged and did not take it to heart.

In his heart, he naturally knew why Zhang Lu said that.

Instead, he looked at the other people present.

张任,严颜,以及高沛等人.

These people were confidants brought by Liu Zhang. Their opinions were more recognized than Zhang Lu's opinions.

As the number one general in Xichuan, Zhang Ren still had some prestige in Liu Zhang's heart, so Liu Zhang's eyes fell on Zhang Ren first.

"Zhang Ren, what do you think?"

Liu Zhang asked Zhang Ren.

Zhang Ren hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Liu Zhang's eyes falling on him and not moving away, he still answered at Liu Zhang.

"Young Master, in fact, in my opinion, this matter would be better for Liu Bei."

“How to say it?”

Liu Zhang wanted to know why Zhang Ren had such a view.

Since Zhang Ren had already said that, he would not hesitate when Liu Zhang asked, and immediately answered why Liu Zhang said so.

"Young Master, the last general is actually just looking at the military configuration of our army and the enemy. Now our army is in Nanzheng City, but only 40,000 to 50,000 troops left. When Liu Bei visited Nanzheng in person, he would inevitably bring more troops. Guan Yu had more than 60,000 troops under his command, and his troops were much more than our army. Once our army really fought with Liu Bei, he would be at a disadvantage and he would have little chance of victory."

"In addition, our army has seen the power of the generals under Guan Yu before. I believe the young master should also understand that once the war is in progress, our army will definitely suffer a lot of casualties and have almost no chance of victory. For the interests of both sides, cooperation will become the best choice."

As a general, Zhang Ren was able to analyze the actual situation of the two armies rationally. When he was at an absolute disadvantage, he naturally did not want to fight with the troops under Guan Yu.

After hearing Zhang Ren's words, Liu Zhang nodded immediately, and seemed to agree with what Zhang Ren said.

Liu Zhang had thought of this before.

"Where are you all the same as Zhang Ren thought?"

After seeing Zhang Ren answering his question, Liu Zhang looked at several other confidants.

Everyone else nodded, basically not giving any other opinions.

After all, this is something that everyone had thought of just now. In their opinion, it is more important to leave the peace talks safely in Nanzheng City than to defend Nanzheng Yingyong to sacrifice his life.

After asking about this circle of people, Liu Zhang's eyes finally fixed on Yan Pu.

The others are all military generals, and they may be more simple to say, but as Yan Pu's only counselor, his words are still a bit important.

"Mr. Yan Pu, what do you think about this?"

Liu Zhang looked at Yan Pu. Liu Zhang still valued Yan Pu, a famous scholar, as well. Otherwise, when Yan Pu appeared, Liu Zhang would have really led his troops to support Zhang Lu.

It was precisely because Liu Zhang wanted to win over Yan Pu that he agreed to Yan Pu.

Yan Pu actually wanted to speak for a long time, but he never had a chance. After all, he was not Liu Zhang's adviser, but just a staff member under Zhang Lu. If he took the initiative to persuade Liu Zhang, he would inevitably have some overstepping of power.

Only when Liu Zhang asked, Yan Pu dared to speak.

"Young Master, I actually refused this matter at the beginning."
