    Cheng Dexuan returned to Xiangcheng, which is close to the Han River, and went to the government office to see Zhao Kuangyi. It took a long time for Zhao Kuangyi to come out from the back house. Zhao Kuangyi was about thirty-five or sixty-six years old.  "What's the point of your question?" Zhao Kuangyi sat down calmly before asking casually.  Cheng Dexuan recounted his meeting with Lu Qi, but of course he did not dare to speak out Lu Qi's poaching words, and finally said: "My lord, Lu Tianfeng is cautious, and even refused to go to see Marshal Pan, and refused to come to see your lord.  " Zhao Kuangyi nodded and said: "He can outwit Hexi. He is a man who is good at strategy and maneuvering. Of course he will not get into danger. " "But he dared to go to Kaifeng Mansion, and he was very arrogant in Kaifeng Mansion.  I want to marry two princesses," Cheng Dexuan said.  "What? Are you jealous of him?" Zhao Kuangyi actually smiled and teased.  "I don't have any jealousy, I just think it's a bit reckless." Cheng Dexuan shook his head.  Zhao Kuangyi shook his head and said: "In Kaifeng Mansion, the emperor would not kill him. The emperor was able to rule the Central Plains, and half of it relied on his reputation for respecting military merit. Lu Tianfeng wanted two princesses, and the emperor gave them to him. It only showed that the emperor was loyal to the heroes.  Tolerance and attention, what the emperor is most afraid of is having a reputation that chills the hearts of military officials. " Cheng Dexuan nodded, and Zhao Kuangyi added: "That is also the main reason why our army cannot raise troops. We are worried that if we rebel, we will be unpopular and the consequences will be.  The whole army rebels, and it is difficult to achieve victory in one go. If the war lasts for a long time, the morale of the army will be conflicted. "But if you don't rebel, the consequences will become more and more unfavorable," Cheng Dexuan said.  "Therefore, we can only follow Lu Tianfeng's example and establish self-reliance first to avoid being cannibalized by the emperor step by step." Zhao Kuangyi said.  Cheng Dexuan nodded and said: "If Jingzhou is successfully captured, we can implement military autonomy in Jingzhou." Zhao Kuangyi shook his head and said: "Don't be too optimistic. The key is Pan Mei, who may be separated from us." "No.  Well, I went to see Marshal Pan to ask for troops. Marshal Pan just thought for a moment and agreed to send troops to Xiangzhou to help the battle." Cheng Dexuan retorted.  "The problem is, Pan Mei is just the deputy commander of Bashu, and he can actually lead an army of 200,000 to Xiangzhou. My original intention is that an army of 100,000 is enough." Zhao Kuangyi said.  "My lord, Marshal Pan led the army to cross the river and Huang. Naturally, he has more control over Bashu's military power than Cao Bin. Did Marshal Pan realize that you want to support your troops and respect yourself, so he brought all the military forces he could command?" Cheng Dexuan explained.  Zhao Kuangyi was silent. After a while, he said calmly: "Go to see Pan Mei and ask him directly whether it is feasible to support the troops and respect themselves." "Sir, Marshal Pan will be here in two days." Cheng Dexuan said awkwardly. When he went to ask, Pan  The U.S. military also arrived nearby.  Zhao Kuangyi frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Here comes someone." A general outside the hall walked into the military salute, and Zhao Kuangyi ordered: "Send an order for all the troops to come and see Yuhou." The general took the order, and Cheng Dexuan asked  He said: "Do you have any plan, sir?" "There is no plan. Our army just arranges a retreat. When the situation is bad, we lead the army to escape." Zhao Kuangyi replied with a smile. Cheng Dexuan looked stunned after hearing this.  "Is it strange? Lu Tianfeng knows to avoid Pan Mei, so our army should have to guard against it." Zhao Kuangyi said in a self-deprecating tone.  "If you leave, where can you go?" Cheng Dexuan said at a loss.  Zhao Kuangyi smiled and said gently: "Don't bother, our army only needs to imitate Lu Tianfeng, that's it." Cheng Dexuan was startled, and then said: "My lord, you are hiding in the military camp and can't come out." Zhao Kuangyi nodded and said: "  If Pan Mei arrives, you go and invite him into the city. I won't go see him first." Cheng Dexuan was startled and said, "If General Pan arrives, it would be a loss of etiquette if you don't greet him personally."  It's better than being a prisoner. If Pan Mei has no objections, he won't blame her. It's my brother who is close to him, so it's okay for me to be rude." Zhao Kuangyi said calmly.  "My lord, what Lu Tianfeng said about being imprisoned is not true. Marshal Pan will never dare to hurt your lord." Cheng Dexuan persuaded. He felt that if Zhao Kuangyi did not go to greet Pan Mei, the consequences of being rude would be serious.  "Dexuan, Pan Mei has brought an army of 200,000 people here. It is already a counter-attack. If Pan Mei has the emperor's imperial decree, as soon as I go to his camp, he will be able to take the initiative and take over my 150,000 troops.  Without 150,000 troops, I will be a useless person worse than dead," Zhao Kuangyi explained patiently.  Cheng Dexuan was very loyal, able to lead troops in battles, and was good at gathering money and governing politics, but he lacked deceit in his mind.He is a person who can do practical things, so Zhao Kuangyi relies on him very much.  Cheng Dexuan's expression changed and he said in surprise: "Your Excellency is suspicious. Marshal Pan is leaning toward the emperor." Zhao Kuangyi nodded and said: "With Lu Tianfeng's interference, many forces close to us have fallen into a vacillating mentality. Pan Mei has already been named  The prince is no longer the general he once was." Cheng Dexuan nodded with a heavy expression. Zhao Kuangyi smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have long been aware of the emperor's strategies. It is nothing more than support and utilization. That is the emperor's clever method.  But it is also the emperor's biggest flaw, and the reason why the emperor is not as good as my brother. He only knows how to use blindly, and the result is that his cleverness is misled by his cleverness. It can also be said that he has trapped himself. " "My lord, you are saying that the emperor has fostered Pan Meiwei's new army.  Chen Dexuan said.  Zhao Kuangyi nodded and said: "80% yes, if Pan Mei really leans towards the emperor, then the emperor's strategy is to use Pan Mei to seize my military power, and then seize Jingzhou. After capturing Jingzhou, 80% will lead the army to the west and solve the problem of Lu Tianfeng in the west.  "The lord is saying that after Pan Mei captures Jingzhou, he will lead his army to attack Lu Tianfeng's forces in the west," Cheng Dexuan said in surprise.  "Eighty percent yes, otherwise the emperor would let Lu Tianfeng come to Hanshui to join in the fun." Zhao Kuangyi said.  "Sir, the emperor asked the Jingzhao Mansion's troops to come to Xiangzhou. It should be because Pan Mei led the army to leave Bashu privately, so the court had to take remedial orders." Cheng Dexuan reminded and explained.  Zhao Kuangyi shook his head and said: "Dexuan, it is abnormal for Pan Mei to lead 200,000 troops. Cao Bin is also a veteran in the army, and his prestige is not lower than that of Pan Mei. In addition, Pan Mei's army set off, but the court  He ordered the troops of Jingzhao Prefecture to join forces. What does that mean? " Cheng Dexuan nodded blankly, and Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Dexuan, I tell you the truth, I asked Pan Mei for the army just to swallow up part of Bashu's military strength.  In addition, it is also to test Pan Mei's intentions. Now Pan Mei has led Bashu's 200,000 troops, and most of them are here to devour me." Cheng Dexuan's expression was unexpected. Zhao Kuangyi sneered again: "It's just that the emperor is too impatient and still wants to.  I took the opportunity to kill Lu Tianfeng in one fell swoop. I was afraid that the plan failed, but it was plotted by Lu Tianfeng instead.  "Our army asked Wang Yansheng to abandon the Longxi Governor's Mansion because he did not want to be cannibalized by the emperor. However, the emperor ordered Lu Tianfeng to mobilize troops from Hexi to take over Longxi. The emperor's intention was to lure the snake out of its hole, and then asked Pan Mei to lead the army to destroy Hehuang and  Lu Tianfeng's army in Longxi was strong, but Lu Tianfeng not only did not go to see Pan Mei, but instead mobilized 10,000 cavalry to accompany him. This was obviously preparation for escape. If Lu Tianfeng escaped back to Hehuang, Pan Mei would not be able to attack with the army at all.  If the emperor fails to kill Lu Tianfeng this time, the country of Great Zhou will be in danger," Zhao Kuangyi said.  "Will Lu Tianfeng rebel?" Cheng Dexuan said in surprise.  "Lu Tianfeng will not rebel, but the break between the emperor and Lu Tianfeng will weaken the emperor's authority, and many swing forces will tilt towards us and Zhang Yongde again. In fact, the emperor asked Zhang Yongde to redo the inspection in front of the palace, which is very  Stupid decision, if the emperor dies, the Prince of Zhou will inevitably become Zhang Yongde's puppet," Zhao Kuangyi explained.  Cheng Dexuan nodded and said: "So, the emperor should not deal with Lu Tianfeng now." "Having supported Pan Mei and Cao Bin as external forces, it is natural to get rid of Lu Tianfeng long ago." Zhao Kuangyi said calmly.  "My lord, I still feel that Pan Mei may not completely lean towards the emperor." Cheng Dexuan said with hope.  Zhao Kuangyi smiled and said: "If Lu Tianfeng is fine, and I have a large army to avoid falling into the trap, Pan Mei will most likely hold back and not quarrel with me. Do you know why?" "Could it be that he is worried that your Excellency will join forces with Lu Tianfeng."  Cheng Dexuan replied.  Zhao Kuangyi shook his head and said: "The snipe and the clam fight for the fisherman's profit. If Lu Tianfeng is fine, how dare Pan Mei fight with me? If we can't fight, we can only suspend the emperor's order and temporarily seek peace." Cheng Dexuan nodded, Zhao Kuangyi  Turning his head, he shouted loudly: "Whoever comes, come in first." Three generals walked in from outside the hall, respectfully saluted Zhao Kuangyi, and then took their seats.
