This green-robed Confucian scholar named Chenggong, named Ying, was a subordinate of Han Sui, the former prefect of Jincheng.

This person was originally just a minor official with a low reputation, and was responsible for supervising food under Han Sui's command.

After Yan Xing and others surrendered to Liu Bei, they were promoted and reused by Liu Bei, who was good at judging talents, and entrusted with the important task of military advisors.

Chenggong was also grateful to Liu Bei for his kindness for his understanding and did his best to plan for him.

Chenggong advised Liu Bei, and Yan Xing, who is also a Western Liang faction, also went out to hold his fists and said:

"We are also willing to fight to the death and defend Hanzhong for the king!"

Generals such as Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Xiu also invited to fight.

Liu Bei was a little moved. Although his friendship with Guan Yu was deep, he really couldn't bear to leave the land of Hanzhong!

If it weren't for the lack of allies, Xiahou Yuan died tragically at the hands of Huang Zhong, Liu Bei would never give up Hanzhong.

But judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for me to defend Hanzhong.

Liu Bei hesitated and asked Sima Yi:

"Zhongda, what do you think is lonely?"

"Lord, give up Hanzhong..."

As soon as Sima Yi said this, all the ministers in the hall were very surprised.

Since ancient times, ministers have been proud of their lords’ open territory and expanding their territory. How could they persuade the lord to cede the territory?

Sima Yi analyzed to Liu Bei in a deep voice:

"At present, Hanzhong has become a war quagmire between our army and the Chu army.

Due to the defeat of the Wei army, it became impossible for the king to get the support of the Great Wei and the Great Yan again.

If the king continues to increase troops to Hanzhong, Yuan Shu will also send troops to reinforce Hanzhong.
