Within Yong 'an County, Zhang Fei personally oversaw every single place. He did not slack off at all in setting up defenses.
"All of you, stay alert! If you can't build the city according to my rules, don't blame my Serpent Spear for not recognizing you!" Zhang Fei twisted his waist and pointed at the city wall from time to time.
"Yes!" Some of the soldiers on the city wall were trembling. This General Zhang Fei was a man, but he was more beautiful and enchanting than some women. This made them shiver. They were afraid that they would lose interest in women after seeing too much of him.
Some people were different. As the saying went, three years in the army could turn a sow into a cicada.
This male trend was the first to spread from the military.
Those people didn't care about their gender. As long as it could attract them, they would follow it even if it was a road.
And now, Zhang Fei fulfilled this condition.
The third general was so beautiful that he was more beautiful than a woman. So what if he was a man? These people were all staring at Zhang Fei. Some even swallowed their saliva.
That look in his eyes was as if he wanted to swallow Zhang Fei whole.
"Hehehe!" Zhang Fei was a warrior at the pinnacle of the God Refinement realm. How could he not feel the stares? The current him was different from before. If anyone dared to look at him like this in the past, Zhang Fei would have killed them on the spot.
However, Zhang Fei's mentality had changed. He began to enjoy the attention. He even winked at the soldiers who were swallowing their saliva.
"Third Brother, how's the deployment of the soldiers?" Liu Bei also went up the city walls. How could he not come up? Liu Bei was only left with about ten thousand soldiers. After decades of hard work, he had lost everything.
If the soldiers in Wu County were to be lost, Liu Bei would become a general without an army. If he was captured by Liu Bei's army, it wouldn't be a matter of life or death. It would be a matter of whether he could be killed.
"Big Brother, don't you trust me?" Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei.
"Ahem!" Liu Bei felt very embarrassed. He almost fell into the trap just now.
"Okay, that's good!" Liu Bei coughed awkwardly.
"It's just that I don't have any more generals!" Zhang Fei said to Liu Bei. The thousand men under his command were completely useless. Not a single one of them was a refinement realm expert. There wasn't even a peak second-rate body refinement expert.
In this way, they would have more soldiers than generals. Once the enemy sent out a sharp blade general to attack, it would be difficult to take back the city wall.
He, Zhang Fei, could only guarantee two city walls at most.
"Sigh, if only Second Brother was here, I, Liu Bei, wouldn't have to worry about anything!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh.
In order to cover for them, Guan Yu had fallen into the enemy's ranks. Judging from his appearance, he was probably dead.
"Big Brother, I will definitely take revenge for Second Brother. I will definitely make that brat Liu Mang beg for death!" Zhang Fei said with a cold expression.
One must know that Zhang Fei became like this because of Liu Mang.
If Liu Mang didn't ask Guan Hai to impersonate him, Zhang Fei wouldn't have been captured by the Huang Family and had his manhood mark taken away.
"Yes, I will definitely take revenge!" Liu Bei gritted his teeth. As long as Liu Mang was here, Liu Bei wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"My Lord, there are several refinement realm experts in Yi Province!" Pang Shiyuan comforted Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.
Among the refinement realm experts in Yi Province, there was Zhang Ren. As for those that he hadn't met, there were Yan Yan, Wu Yi, and the others.
These people were all refinement realm experts.
After listening to Pang Shiyuan's reminder, Liu Bei's eyes lit up. Yi Province was now Liu Bei's territory. How could a mere Liu Zhang be a match for him, Liu Bei?
"Reporting!" The scout that was released from the frontline reported back.
"Reporting! Yangzhou's army! Yangzhou's army!" The scout was panting because he was in a hurry.
"Yangzhou's Liu Mang is here?" Liu Bei asked nervously and excitedly. He was nervous because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defend Wu County. If that happened, Liu Bei's life would be in danger.
He was excited because if Yangzhou's army came, it would fall into his and Pang Shiyuan's plan.
"They came pretty fast?" Zhang Fei licked his lips. He couldn't wait to fight with Yangzhou's army.
Even Pang Shiyuan nodded in agreement.
"No, it's not!" The scout shook his head and slowly said, "Milord, Military Advisor, Yangzhou's army, he, he retreated!"
He finally said it all in one breath.
"Retreated?" Liu Bei was stunned. Pang Shiyuan was stunned. Zhang Fei was also stunned.
"It's true. Yangzhou's army retreated fifty miles. They are all out of Yi Province!" The scout saw that Yangzhou's army gave up on chasing Liu Bei's army and retreated back to Jingzhou. They even gave up the territory that they were entangled with in Yi Province. It was really strange.
However, the scout was very happy. The Yangzhou's army's attack was very stressful. It made the people in Wu County unable to breathe. If Zhang Fei didn't control the army too strictly, many people would have run away.
Now that Yangzhou's army retreated, the sword hanging over their heads was gone. They immediately felt relieved.
It was this good news that made the scout rush back to report.
He wanted to get praise from Zhang Fei and Zhang Fei.
Unexpectedly, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Impossible, how can they retreat? Little Liu Mang, why did you withdraw your troops?! "
"What?" The scout was confused. Was it not good for Yangzhou's army to retreat?
"Kuai Liang is really the mastermind!" Pang Shiyuan smiled bitterly when he heard the news of Yangzhou's army retreating. Pang Shiyuan was indeed Pang Shiyuan. He immediately guessed who gave Liu Mang the idea. "Milord, we need to prepare early!"
"No! Why? Impossible, why didn't Liu Mang come? Why didn't he come? Come, come. Liu Mang, come. I, Liu Bei, am not afraid of you! "Liu Bei said hysterically.
The scout was even more confused. Why did it become a bad thing?
"Big brother, if Liu Mang doesn't come, we can develop in peace!" Zhang Fei was also puzzled. If Yangzhou's army was not aggressive, wouldn't that mean that Liu Bei's army was safe?
"Third General! Don't you know? "
Pang Shiyuan sighed and said. If Yangzhou's army did not send troops to Yi Province, then all of Pang Shiyuan's plans would be ruined. He still wanted to replace Liu Zhang.
It was impossible.
On the contrary, not only could he not form an alliance with Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang had already become his enemy.
"Not good! Milord, quickly lead the troops and guard the checkpoints of Yi Province. Do not let anyone out of Yong 'an County! "Pang Shiyuan wanted to make up for it.
However, it was too late.
Previously, Liu Bei had ordered his troops not to obstruct Liu Zhang's troops. He wanted to get Liu Zhang's promise as soon as possible.
However, he did not expect that this would allow Yangzhou's army to contact Liu Zhang from Yi Province.
Liu Zhang's messenger had already been sent out. He also passed by Liu Bei's camp.
… …
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
Liu Mang received the messenger from Yi Province.
"Yi Province's Military Advisor, Zhang Song, greets Your Highness!"
Liu Mang looked at the person who was greeting him. This person was none other than Zhang Song from Yi Province. Wasn't this person already killed by Liu Zhang? Liu Mang thought.
In order to save Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, Liu Mang had used Fa Zheng as a pawn, causing Zhang Song to be reported by his brother.
According to Liu Zhang's temper, he should have killed him. Why should he live?
Zhang Song represented Yi Province to discuss important matters with Liu Mang. Before he even opened his mouth, he handed a letter to Liu Mang.
This letter completely resolved Liu Mang's doubts.
This letter was a private one sent by Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng wrote clearly in the letter that Zhang Song was indeed imprisoned by Liu Zhang.
However, Fa Zheng pleaded for mercy on Liu Zhang's behalf, so he did not kill Zhang Song directly.
However, Liu Zhang spared Zhang Song's life, but there was one person who did not want to. That was Zhang Song's brother, Zhang Su.
This person had climbed up Zhang Song's body and was now the head of the Zhang family.
However, as long as Zhang Song was alive, Zhang Su would not be happy. After all, Zhang Song had controlled the Zhang family for a long time. Many people were looking forward to Zhang Song's return.
Zhang Su's behavior of betraying his own family was very shameful.
Do you think Zhang Su will let Zhang Song go? Therefore, Zhang Su sent people to the death prison to kill Zhang Song.
However, he was saved by Fa Zheng's people.
Fa Zheng also conveniently used a corpse that resembled Zhang Song to replace Zhang Song, to create a false impression that Zhang Song had been killed by Zhang Su.
Just like that, Zhang Song was saved.
Because of his hatred for his brother, Fa Zheng's persuasion, and the defeat of Liu Bei's army, Zhang Song was finally moved by Fa Zheng.
He wanted to join the Yangzhou army like Fa Zheng.
This was the reason why Zhang Song was sent to Jingzhou as a diplomatic envoy.
"Haha, with Ziqiao's help, Yi Province will be peaceful!" Liu Mang also gave Zhang Song face. Although he knew that this person was arrogant and would not be easy to control, after all, he was now representing Fa Zheng.
Liu Mang was also giving Fa Zheng face.
"Your Highness, you are too serious! This is all thanks to Lord Fa Zheng! "Zhang Song was now much more low-key.
"Sigh! Ziqiao, there is no need to be so modest. When this prince was still in Xu Province, I heard that Shu Chuan produced heroes, and the most outstanding one was Zhang Song! "Liu Mang lied with his eyes wide open.
Zhang Song's eyes were bulging. He did not stop talking.
"His appearance is not good, but his talent is extraordinary. He has a photographic memory and can recite it backwards!" Liu Mang gave these sixteen comments. These sixteen words were naturally not thought of by Liu Mang, but by the people of later generations.
Zhang Song's eyes lit up, as if he had a reaction.
"Come, come, come. Everyone, you may not be familiar with Ziqiao, but this prince will tell you about Ziqiao and you will know!" Liu Mang's civil and military officials also knew about Zhang Song. However, what they knew was only limited to Zhang Song wanting to cling onto Liu Bei's thigh. In the end, he was sent to prison by Fa Zheng. How could they think highly of such a defeated general?
"Everyone, do you know who can be the enemy of Yangzhou in this world?" Liu Mang asked his subordinates.
Who can be the enemy of Yangzhou's army?
Liu Bei was no longer a concern. They could easily dispatch troops to eliminate him. Liu Zhang from Yi Province had already sent an envoy. It must be as Kuai Liang had thought. That is, Liu Zhang wanted to rely on Yangzhou.
At the very least, Liu Mang can give him a lifetime of glory, splendor, wealth and rank, rather than being swallowed by others and dying, Liu Mang can at least give him a lifetime of glory and wealth.
The only one who could stop Liu Mang was Cao Cao from Xu Du.
Liu Mang's words confirmed their conjecture. "In this world, the only one who can be this prince's enemy is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!" Liu Mang was still recalling the first time he met Cao Cao in Xiapi.
At that time, Cao Cao was full of mettle. The Lvbu's Army was almost wiped out in Xiapi.
He, Liu Mang, will also die in the place where his five viscera regenerate. But what about Cao Cao? The Overlord of the North! After eliminating one warlord after another, Cao Cao controlled more troops and land than the Yangzhou army. If it wasn't for the Yangzhou army's advanced productivity, they would have been wiped out by Cao Cao long ago. Even now, Liu Mang didn't dare to say that he could win against Cao Cao.
"It is precisely this world's ambitious and ruthless Cao Cao who suffered a great loss in the hands of our Ziqiao!" Liu Mang was not stingy with his praise for Zhang Song.
When Zhang Song represented Liu Zhang on the diplomatic mission to Xu Du, Zhang Song was arrogant because of his talent. Cao Cao's subordinate, Yang Xiu, wanted to subdue him, so he took out the military book written by Cao Cao, "Meng De New Book" and showed it to Zhang Song. After reading it, Zhang Song laughed and said, "The contents of this book can even be recited by the children of Shu. How is this some" Meng De New Book "? It was written by an anonymous person during the Warring States Period, plagiarized and stolen by Prime Minister Cao."
Yang Xiu didn't believe it. Zhang Song recited Cao Cao's military book on the spot, not missing a single word. Yang Xiu didn't believe that Cao Cao was a plagiarist. It could be seen that Zhang Song's memory was strong. He recommended Zhang Song to Cao Cao, but Zhang Song's appearance was too apologetic. "Forehead sharp, nose flat, teeth exposed". Forehead like a hoe, head sharp, nose flat, teeth exposed. Cao Cao didn't believe that Zhang Song had the ability to remember everything he saw. He thought that the ancient people and him had the same idea, so his new book was similar to the one written by people during the Warring States Period. In his embarrassment, he burned the "Meng De New Book".
Lao Cao, that suspicious and astute person, was still played by Zhang Song. It was enough to see Zhang Song's ability.
"What? This person played with Cao Cao? "The faces of all the Yangzhou civil and military officials changed.
To play with Cao Cao, not only did you need courage, you also needed to have amazing wisdom.
Otherwise, if there was even the slightest mistake, you might be chopped down by Lao Cao.
Now it seemed that not only did Zhang Song do it, he was also able to escape unscathed. This was enough to show Zhang Song's ability.
"How is it? Is Ziqiao a great talent?! Ziqiao was worth several Yi Prefectures! Haha! "Liu Mang wasn't stingy with his praise.
He had long seen what kind of person Zhang Song was. He was a very vain person. What did this kind of person want the most? It wasn't finance, it wasn't an official position, it was importance!
