In Liu Cong's puzzled eyes, Fazheng continued, "Zhuge Kongming suggested sending Ma Chao to contact the Qiang people and expedition to Yongliang in the north to confuse the king. Then, Liu Bei personally led the army south to recover Nanzhong!"
"You are really smart. If it weren't for filial piety, I would have almost believed it."
Fazheng put down his bowls and chopsticks, picked up the cloth on the table and wiped his mouth, saying, "The king can now take advantage of his plan and send a large army to support Nan and the Chu Kingdom, but Liu Cong ignored them. The barbarians did not fight and let them recuperate.
Is it possible to attack the Han people with weapons? With Chu's current deterrence in Nanzhong, it will be easy to use these people. But I am afraid of these idiots, their combat effectiveness is too poor.
Fazheng seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, "The king needs to send a wise general to integrate the armies of all ethnic groups to deal with Liu Bei's attack. This time when going south, there is a high probability that Liu Bei will lead the army himself, and the number of troops should not exceed 100,000.
Meng Da will also go south with the army. Meng Da is now in charge of fifteen thousand people. I will give Meng Da a warning."
"I have also heard of Lu Meng, Quan Cong, Deng Fang and others in Nanzhong. These people have experienced battles for a long time and are talented generals. It should not be a problem to resist Liu Bei. I think the most important thing is that the king is here.
We must defeat the Cao thieves as soon as possible. If the king retreats, Liu Bei will have concerns."
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Cao has raised more than 300,000 troops and is coming with a fierce force. How can it be so easy to retreat?"
"Your Majesty, can't we defeat Cao Cao this time?"
Liu Cong shook his head and said, "That's not true. It's just that hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides are vying for supremacy. The war has already begun. How can it be said that it will end after it is over? If there are no major changes, Gu will not be able to defeat the enemy in a short time.

Fazheng said helplessly, "I can only try my best to buy time for the king."
"It's time to be filial and sincere."
In the 19th year of Jian'an, on July 13th, Chu King Liu Cong and Liu Bei's envoys went to Hefei to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, killed the white horse, and formed an alliance based on blood!
After handing the covenant to Fazheng, Liu Cong said, "Xiao Zhi, the alliance between Chu and Shu is good, so I'll leave it to you. I hope you can go back and tell the emperor uncle, asking him to raise troops to the north as soon as possible. I am waiting for his good news in Huainan."
Fa Zheng took over the covenant and pledged, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The foreign minister will do his best to promote the alliance between the two countries, and also urge our Lord to send troops north as soon as possible to support the King in the west."
Liu Cong nodded, "Thank you."
If Fazheng hadn't told Liu Bei's true intentions, and if Liu Cong hadn't known the inside story of Yizhou, this would have been a beautiful scene between Qin and Jin.
Not to mention that Liu Bei was shameless, taking someone else's alliance letter, and still thinking about attacking his territory. In troubled times, when fighting for hegemony, an alliance letter these days is not as useful as a piece of cloth to wipe your butt. But no matter what, on the surface, the two Liu Bei still formed an alliance.
Yes, and the object of alliance and crusade is still Cao Cao.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened. Liu Bei has sent an envoy. Liu Cong and Liu Bei have formed an alliance." The spies from the school affairs office hurriedly entered the account and reported to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao, who was dealing with military affairs, frowned and took the cloth. After reading it, his tone became even more solemn, "Liu Cong promised Liu Bei to become king in exchange for Liu Bei's support in sending troops north? Do you think this is credible?"

Yang Xiu spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, the things written in the alliance letters are generally not things that can be easily trusted."
Dong Zhao had a different opinion, "Your Majesty, I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
Everyone spoke one after another, but there were different opinions. Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu.
Jia Xu didn't speak, just shook his head.
Cao Cao put down the cloth and "sent a message to Cao Hong and Zhong Yao, telling them to be careful, pay attention to the movements of the two rivers at all times, and beware of Liu Bei's army heading north."
"promise."
"Is the Chu army still unwilling to fight?"
Xia Houyuan shook his head and said, "No matter how we yell and curse, the Chu army just cowers in the city and refuses to come out to fight with our army in the field."
Before Cao Cao could say anything, Cao Zhang said angrily, "Father, give the order to attack the city. I will personally lead the army to attack the city. I will definitely be able to conquer the city!"
Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "How many days will it take for you to attack Shouchun Fort?"

Cao Zhang didn't hear the implication of Cao Cao's words, so he raised his hands and replied, "My father gave me an army of 150,000. I can conquer this city in one day!"
"One day? Do you think you are Han Xin or Bai Qi? They dare not say such big words in the face of such a strong city. Why do you have to do it? Even if you have an army of 150,000, or an army of 500,000 to attack the city, you have to weigh it.
."
"Father, son..."
"Shut up. Didn't Huang Zhong's beating teach you that there are people outside of you? Why are you still so arrogant to this day?"
After hearing the word Huang Zhong, Cao Zhang finally stopped talking. He scratched his head and retreated to his seat.
Cao Cao looked at Dong Zhao again, "How are the iron cables arranged on both sides of the Huaihe River?"
"Your Majesty, some of the iron cables are still being forged. It is estimated that they will all be deployed in another three to five days. The pontoon bridge has also been reinforced."
Cao Cao nodded, "Don't worry, the Chu army won't go out to fight anyway. We still have time now. Let the army make corrections first."
"promise."
"Pier, faced with such a situation, how do you think we should handle it?"

Cao Pi stood beside Cao Cao. Hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Cao Pi became a little anxious, but the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became and he had no clue at all.
"Father, can you send someone to scold me severely to prompt the enemy to fight?"
Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "I'm just asking you, how do you think we should deal with Liu Bei becoming king?"
Cao Pi thought for a while and said, "We can send someone to see the emperor and ask the emperor to issue an order to reprimand Liu Bei and erase Liu Bei from the Liu family tree."
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "This won't have much impact on Liu Bei."
Cao Pi mustered up the courage to ask, "What does father mean?"
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Isn't there another Liu Xun in Nanzhong? Now that we know that Liu Bei is going to be king, we can first send envoys to Nanzhong to make him king!"
"When the time comes, there will be two kings in Xichuan and Nanzhong. It will be hard to see the big-eared thief alone!"
