    Wenhan is clear about rewards and punishments and will never impose his own mistakes on others.  When Zhang Song heard this, he was extremely moved and secretly thought that Wen Han was indeed an unparalleled wise king.  Immediately, Zhang Song stood up and returned to the table in response to Wenhan's order.

    Wenhan narrowed his eyes and said in a concentrated voice.

    "Now that Liu Jiyu is dead, Liu Xuande, the traitor, can justifiably ascend to the position of Lord of Yizhou. This man is cunning and insidious, with superb scheming. If he were to command the soldiers and horses of Xichuan, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to conquer Xichuan. Sir, please  Do you have any tips for dealing with traitors?"

    Li You frowned deeply when he heard this, and said with his hands in hand.

    "My lord has a body of ten thousand gold. He is injured at this time and cannot fight for a long time. In my opinion, the matter in Xichuan should not be too hasty. My lord should withdraw the army to Anhan and wait for the injury to recover before making plans again."

    As soon as Li You said this, Cheng Gongying also attended to persuade him.  Wen Handao's eyes widened and he shouted sternly.

    "No! Liu Xuande is a treacherous hero in the world. He originally wanted to separatize Jingzhou. If he is allowed to stabilize the situation in Xichuan, stand firm, and develop strength, he will be like a dragon trapped in the sea! Although I am injured at the moment, Liu Xuande has recently been  The injury suffered by Zilong must be more serious than mine. This is a great opportunity to take advantage of his failure! How can I ignore the overall situation?"

    Li You's expression condensed, his eyes brightened with emotion, he looked directly at Wen Han, and said every word with a clank.

    "My lord, what you said is wrong! You are the leader of the northwest and the hope of the people in the world. How can you put yourself in danger for a mere Liu Xuande!? Liu Xuande is only related to the situation of a place, but once the lord makes a mistake, the world will be in turmoil.  ! If the Lord insists on doing it, he will ignore the overall situation!"

    "Li Zhongwen!! You!!!"

    Li You has never disobeyed Wen Han since he joined Wen Han's command.  Now Li You bluntly said that Wenhan was wrong in public, which made Wenhan furious.  At this time, Cheng Gongying also hurriedly advised.

    "My lord, please calm down. What the military advisor said is absolutely true. I hope my lord will think twice!"

    As soon as Cheng Gongying finished speaking, Zhao Yun, Pang De and other generals also came to persuade him.  Wenhan suppressed his anger but did not make a decision, so the meeting broke up unhappy.

    At the same time, in Jiameng Pass.  Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Fazheng, Meng Da and other Xichuan civil and military officials, as well as Taishi Ci, Hua Xiong and other Jingzhou generals gathered together, and Liu Bei sat in the high hall.  After all the ministers paid their respects, Zhang Ren attended and said.

    "Today, Liu Jiyu, a herdsman in Yizhou, was killed by Zhao Zilong. The people of Xichuan are without a master, and now they have a formidable enemy. The emperor's uncle is renowned for his benevolence and righteousness in the world, and has won the respect of the soldiers and people of Shu. The emperor's uncle is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he can obey nature and people, that is,  It¡¯s a matter of course to take the position of Yizhou Shepherd. It¡¯s time to fight against the traitors. We are all willing to fight for the emperor¡¯s sake. I hope he won¡¯t postpone it!¡±

    Although Liu Bei was seriously injured, his face turned a little flushed because of this joy, but he pretended to be shocked.

    "The words of Governor Zhang are wrong. Although Liu Bei belongs to the Han clan, he came to Xichuan this time to fight against the national traitors for my brother Ji Yu. Although my brother is unfortunately dead now, how can Liu Bei take advantage of others' danger and seize his inheritance. And the imperial court has not yet  There is a decree, but if you do this and do it inconsistently, you are rebelling against the Han Dynasty!"

    As soon as Liu Bei said this, all the officers and soldiers in Xichuan secretly sighed in their hearts for Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.  Huang Quan hurriedly attended and bowed.

    "No. Please listen to the emperor's words. When the empire collapsed, the princes rose up, each dominating one side, such as Cao Mengde in the Central Plains. He held the emperor to order the princes, and his power covered half of the country. Sun Bofu of the Eastern Wu led the troops to Jiangdong, Yang, and  The land of the two states was powerful in the south, recruiting troops and horses, and working hard to strengthen the country. Moreover, there were national thieves who occupied the blessed lands of Hedong and Hejian, and the lands of Yong, Liang, and Dongchuan. The evil was overwhelming, and it was raining in the northwest.  Covering the sky with one hand! Who is not ambitious enough to conquer the world and achieve imperial supremacy? But most of the talented and virtuous people in the world today are willing to sacrifice their lives to serve, not because of their loyalty, but because of their loyalty.  Everyone wants to achieve fame and fortune. Now I am the only one who avoids suspicion and keeps his integrity. I hope he will think about it carefully."

    Huang Quan spoke with great emotion, expressing the thoughts of the heroes and overlords in the world. Liu Bei secretly praised him, but still pretended to be hesitant.

    "Having said that, I would not dare to usurp the position of Yizhou Mu and seize the clan's inheritance. This matter can be discussed later. Don't worry too much, gentlemen. Although Liu Bei will not win a big position, he will not find it difficult.  To rescue, I will lead the princes to repel the national thieves, then report to the court, and only leave after Yizhou is stabilized."

    Liu Bei pretended to delay, and when he heard that all the generals in Xichuan were anxious, they all attended, bowed and drank in unison.

    "If the emperor just refuses, everyone will be relieved!!"

    The sound filled the hall.  Leng Bao shouted sternly.

    "In these troubled times, except for the emperor's uncle who can still preserve benevolence and righteousness, everyone else is ambitious! We only obey the emperor's uncle. If anyone else joins Sichuan, we will not be convinced! I hope the emperor's uncle will not postpone it any longer!!!"

    ?As soon as Leng Bao said this, Liu Bei's face was slightly moved, and Huang Quan immediately advised him.

    "The emperor's uncle has been righteous in his life and has never done anything unjust. We dare not force him. But as the saying goes, if the law is enforced, the country cannot be without a master for a day, and the army cannot be without generals for a day. At present, there is a powerful enemy.  It is a blessing for the people of Xichuan that I hope that my uncle will temporarily serve as the herdsman of Yizhou and lead us to fight against the powerful enemy."

    Liu Bei was elated when he heard this, but he still pretended to be hesitant and said hesitantly.

    "Although what Huang Gong said is reasonable, it is really arrogance for Liu Bei to occupy the high position without the emperor's clear edict."

    Huang Quan¡¯s expression condensed, his eyes twinkled, and he spoke harshly

    "One moment, another moment, Yizhou is in danger at the moment, the emperor's uncle should follow his authority and not stick to common sense."

    At this moment, Hua Xiong, who was straightforward by nature, couldn't help his temper and came angrily, shouting.

    "This world is the land of the Liu family. People with different surnames all occupy the imperial land and want to be the king! What's more, the lord belongs to the sect of the Han Dynasty! What's wrong with taking the position of Yizhou Shepherd!!?"

    Hua Xiong¡¯s voice was like a loud bell, shaking the whole hall.  Liu Bei's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he became angry, pointed at his uncle, and shouted sharply.

    "How presumptuous!! Hua Ziwei, don't say too much! If you make a mistake again, you will not be spared lightly!!!"

    When Zhang Ren saw this, he also raised his voice to admonish.

    "Uncle Emperor, please calm down. General Hua's words are not unreasonable. The situation is extremely urgent at the moment. It's not too late for Emperor Uncle to act as a contingency and temporarily take over the position of Yizhou Mu until the national thieves are defeated. Then he will report to the Emperor."

    Seeing that the time was ripe, Liu Bei pretended to refuse, so he had to agree.  All the civil and military officials were happy to hear Liu Bei's consent. Zhang Ren and Huang Quan took the lead in worshiping Liu Bei as their lord, and all the civil and military officials in Xichuan followed suit.  Liu Bei pretended to be flustered again and shouted no.  However, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan and other ministers all said that if Liu Bei was unwilling to accept it, everyone would not be able to kneel down.

    Liu Bei had no choice but to accept it.  At this point, the Xichuan civil and military forces headed by Huang Quan and Zhang Ren all joined Liu Bei's command.  Liu Bei took over the civil and military forces of Nishichuan, and his command instantly became stronger.

    After a while, the etiquette was completed.  Liu Bei officially became the lord of Yizhou and immediately asked the officials.

    "It's all thanks to the efforts of everyone. In today's battle, our army defeated the bandit army and annihilated nearly ten thousand bandit soldiers. Wen Bufan was even shot by Meng Qi and was seriously injured. However, Wen Bufan's character is persevering. I'm afraid  We can't just withdraw our troops. Once he recovers, we will attack again. There are only ten thousand troops in the pass. How can we resist if Wen Bufan leads his army to attack?"

    While Liu Bei was speaking, his eyes slowly wandered between Huang Quan and Fazheng.  Huang Quan and Fazheng looked at each other and communicated for a while. They seemed to coincide with each other and had the same idea.  Huang Quan nodded slightly to signal to Fazheng, who smiled calmly and bowed to him.

    "My lord, there is no need to worry too much. If Wen Bufan really comes to attack, we have a plan to make Wen Bufan's northwest bandits unable to come back!"

    "The plan is coming from An, Xiaozhi, come quickly!!"

    Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked quickly.  Fa Zheng then offered advice and teachings to teach the way, and so and so.  After the plan was completed, Liu Bei was overjoyed and couldn't stop laughing.

    On that day, Wenhan couldn't stand the persuasion of Li You, Cheng Gongying and others, so he agreed to stop the war and recuperate in the stronghold.  At the same time, he urgently sent out documents and ordered Wei Yan to transfer more than ten thousand elite troops from Dongchuan, as well as food, grass, baggage, and siege equipment.  Wenhan fought continuously in Xichuan. These more than 10,000 elite troops were the last troops he could still mobilize in the western territory.  Wenhan had to stop the war in Xichuan.

    The next battle is crucial.  Wen Han did not dare to act carelessly, and while recovering from his injuries, he discussed strategies with Li You and Cheng Gongying.  Cheng Gongying came up with a plan. Jiameng Pass was dangerous and difficult to attack. It was a bad idea to send an army to attack. It was better to use aggressive generals to lure the enemy's army into battle.

    Wenhan heard that the plan was feasible, so he immediately followed Cheng Gongying's plan and sent Pang De to lead the army to test it first.  Pang De accepted the order and led 6,000 soldiers and horses to Jiameng Pass.  Moreover, when Liu Bei saw that Wen Han had not moved for many days, he thought that Wen Han would recuperate and call a truce, so that he would feel better.

    Suddenly a group of scouts came to report that the northwest general Pang Lingming led 6,000 soldiers and horses to kill them at the pass.  Fa Zheng heard the words, smiled coldly, cupped his hands and admonished.

    "My lord, there is no need to worry. There is no way these soldiers and horses can break through Jiameng Pass. Wen Bufan must have sent him here to test. My lord is seriously injured and cannot act rashly. I only need three thousand soldiers and horses to repel him."

    Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, so he sent Fazheng to meet the enemy, and Hua Xiong to help.  Fazheng took the order and led his troops to guard the pass. Looking down the pass, he saw a group of northwest soldiers and horses.

    Pang De set up his position at the foot of the pass and roared to fight.  Hua Xiong glared and said to Fa Zhengweng.

    "Dharma sacrifice wine, that army is so rampant, send me to lead the troops out of the pass to meet the enemy!"

    Fazheng was calm and shook his head.

      "No need to bother General Hua. I will defend the pass. Even if the other army has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, it will be difficult to break through. The other army also knows this, so they fight at the pass, trying to lure us to abandon the pass and leave. If  Our army fell into a trap and it was really unwise to use our own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points!"

    Hua Xiong heard the truth and just suppressed his anger and stopped talking.  Seeing that there was no movement among the defenders, Pang De ordered his subordinates to scold Liu Bei, saying that he was a junior mat weaver who stole the emperor's lineage and deceived the world. He did not know how high the sky was and how high the land was, and he would self-destruct sooner or later.  Hua Xiong was furious when he heard this. He shouted loudly and turned around to raise his troops to go down to the pass to fight.  Fa Zheng hurriedly stopped him and remonstrated in a low voice.

    "This is Pang Lingming's intention to provoke the general to fight. Don't fight. Otherwise, you will fall into his trap. If you endure the anger for a while, the sea and the sky will be brighter. General Hua, just wait and see what happens. When he relaxes, I will have my own plan!"

    Hua Xiong glared at Fazheng and shouted.

    "Is this true!?"

    "The general is so powerful, how dare he deceive a certain weak scholar!?"

    Hua Xiong heard that Fa Zheng had a plan and was furious.  Seeing that there was still no movement from the garrison behind closed doors, Pound had no choice but to order his sergeants to take turns scolding them day and night.  The shouts and curses of the Northwest Army echoed at Jiameng Pass day and night.  When all the generals under Liu Bei heard this, they were all furious and asked Liu Bei for orders to fight.  Liu Bei, on the other hand, was calm and determined, and instead rested at ease to recover from his injuries.  Seeing the confusion, all the generals came to ask questions.  Liu Bei replied with a smile.

    "The other army was scolding them day and night, but they didn't dare to attack. It doesn't mean that Wen Bufan was helpless at this time, so he had to resort to this strategy. Don't worry too much, just let them scold you. Our army is recharging its energy and waiting for work. We will be ready soon.  You can take advantage of the situation and attack.¡±

    The generals woke up after hearing the words. Later, when Liu Bei's words reached Fa Zheng's ears, they coincided with what he had thought before.  Fazheng couldn't help but sigh.

    "My lord is calm in the face of danger and has a clear understanding of the situation. He is indeed a wise king!"

    ??The garrison at the gate ignored the shouts and curses of the Northwest Army. Sometimes when they saw the Northwest Army getting angry, they would yell back a few times, and the two armies would exchange insults at the gate.  Some northwest generals who had not seen the garrison for a long time came to kill them, and were insulted by them. They became so angry that they tried to lead troops to charge and kill them, but they were shot with random arrows by the garrison and fled in embarrassment.

    Seeing this, Pang De had no idea what to do and came to report to Wenhan.  When Wen Han heard this, he frowned, turned to Cheng Gongying and asked.

    "The other army has seen through our army's method of provoking generals, what should they do now?"

    Cheng Gongying's bright eyes shone, he thought about it carefully, then he bowed his head and answered.

    "This plan was actually seen through by the other army. The defenders in the pass will definitely take advantage of the plan and wait for work. When our army relaxes, they will wait for the opportunity. As it turns out, we will take the opportunity to lure them to fight!"

    "Oh? Gongying, what's your clever plan?"
