Let us temporarily leave the lively Central Plains and turn to Western Shu, where mountains and rivers crisscross the west.

It has been a few days since Liu Bei arrived in Shuzhong, and Liu Yan's funeral has been held. Liu Zhang has officially ascended to the position of governor of Yizhou. Speaking of which, Liu Zhang is now full of ambition! The only thing that bothers him is that Liu Bei does not seem to have a big plan to leave, but is looking for various excuses, such as the mountain roads in the rainy season, the hot and the hard to be hard to leave, the soldiers are not accustomed to the environment and have many patients, etc. In short, they just don't leave.

Even if Liu Zhang was stupid, he gradually understood something. Besides, he was not stupid at first, but he was just a little pedantic and not very good at thinking.

As the fog in front of him gradually dissipated, Liu Zhang gradually saw the shy truth hiding behind the fog. Of course, the truth would not look good. In fact, the truth is often quite disgusting.

Liu Zhang, who was shocked by the truth, began to pay serious attention to what Liu Bei and the others he brought to do. Then Liu Zhang was frightened to find that what Liu Bei did was exactly the same as what Liu Biao did at that time, but Liu Biao made a fortune at the time, which was quite difficult. Liu Bei now has 50,000 elite troops stationed in Chengdu, which is a real threat!

Liu Zhang suddenly panicked and looked around. Now the only one who can gain his trust is Pang Xi. As for Huang Quan, Yan Yan and others, they have long been disloyal, and Zhang Song and others have given him the idea of ​​asking the wolf to enter the house, and he may not be more kind-hearted.

So Liu Zhang urgently recruited Pang Xi to come to the palace to discuss.

Liu Zhang stepped back and sat opposite Pang Xi in the secret room. After saying his discovery and concern, Pang Xi couldn't help but sigh. The young master finally got enlightened. Although it was a little late, it was fine. It was so easy to save the silence of being killed by someone. So it was still unclear.

"Ji Yu, this matter...was destined from the beginning. Yizhou is like a child holding a heavy money. When the first lord is there, he can barely defend himself. Now that everyone is disheartened, things are hard to recover. If there is any other way, my subordinates will not have to watch it."

Liu Zhang was shocked, his face suddenly turned pale as paper, and his fat face was trembling. He looked at Pang Xi with horror. He stammered for a while and didn't even say a complete sentence.

"Zi...wen, this...how could it be, how could it be? I still have hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers in Shu, and there are... "

"Ji Yu, this matter has been Zhang Song's conspiracy from the beginning. It is indeed possible to drive the wolf away by attracting the tiger to drive the wolf away. But the problem is that the tiger was about to enter the house!"

"Damn Zhang Song, I. I want to kill his nine clans!!" Liu Zhang shouted in a panic, his voice seemed a little sharp, but he obviously lacked confidence.

Pang Xi shook his head and waited until Liu Zhang calmed down a little, then continued: "Ji Yu's idea may not work. Now that Zhang Song is protected by Liu Bei, we can't move him at all. Once a conflict arises, the situation will be in chaos, and it may be unfavorable to Ji Yu."

"You mean, Liu Bei will take the opportunity, take the opportunity..."

Pang Xi nodded and shook his head again: "Liu Bei is a man who seeks fame and reputation and can do anything, but his subordinates can do it and do everything. Therefore, Chengdu must not be chaotic, Ji Yu, you must also tolerate it and not wantonly attack those guys who are crippling inside and outside."

"This... forbearance? Why should we forbearance? Can we forbearance be forbearance and let Liu Bei go?"

Pang Xi smiled awkwardly: "I'm afraid this... cannot be, but at least it can save Ji Yu's life!"

Liu Zhang was about to cry, and he kept wiping his sleeves with cold sweat on his forehead: "Ziwen, this, this, but what should I do? If you delay it, what should I do if Liu Bei can't wait, and really do it. By the way, Ziwen, can't we take the initiative and kill Liu Bei first?"

Pang Xi looked at Liu Zhang in surprise. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang, who usually speaks kindness, keeps loyal and righteous, also had the intention to kill his clan uncle. This is really a rabbit who is anxious and bites people!

However, Pang Xi had thought about Liu Zhang's idea countless times. If it were possible, Pang Xi would have taken action long ago. Why wait until today? The troops in Chengdu are controlled by Pang Xi.

But Pang Xi has no confidence in Liu Bei, who has been fighting for a long time. Besides what he brought, the other troops in Chengdu were all connected with Huang Quan and Yan Yan. It is not possible to truly eliminate the influence of the two. Once there is a change in the city, these troops are likely to turn against each other. At that time, Pang Xi himself will not have any good endings. The key is that he will also implicate Liu Zhang, and it will be too late to say anything at that time.

Pang Xi told Liu Zhang about his thoughts and concerns in detail. Liu Zhang was also shocked. Now he became even more confused and thought about it with sweat for a while. Liu Zhang finally put a sentence in his mouth:

"Then, if you can't beat me, just surrender! Didn't Liu Bei just want this Yizhou? I don't care about it, just give it to him, as long as you don't kill me, Ziwen... what do you think?"

Pang Xi could not answer, and the king and his minister sat opposite each other, looking at each other speechlessly.

....................................

The next day, Pang Xi was sitting in a sleepy city at home, and Pang Yuan suddenly came to visit.

Pang Xi could also roughly guess what Pang Yuan was here for. Now in the Chengdu city, it seems that he is the only one who can protect Liu Zhang. The question is, can he continue to protect him? If he continues to do the right thing to do with Liu Bei, where is his way out? Pang Xi has to consider these very realistic issues now.

Pang Xi enthusiastically welcomed Pang Yuan into the mansion, then stepped back and talked in detail in the secret room.

"Man Pang Da, are you from Luoyang?"

"That's right, Fuqing asked what this thing happened?"

"Has the big man experienced the Luoyang Rebellion that year?"

Pang Xi was stunned for a moment and nodded, "I have indeed experienced it. A great city was ruined like this. What a pity!"

"Well, the people of Luoyang must have never seen it. If they saw it, they would definitely be even more sad. Luoyang is still called Luoyang, but the city is no longer the metropolis of the past."

Pang Yuan also felt a little emotional and regretful as he spoke. Luoyang, a famous city of all time, was destroyed in the fire. Although it is a city in the game, the prosperity of the past and the desolation of today still make people feel infinitely moved by their lives.

"Why... Fuqing talks about this?"

"It's very simple. Since people who have experienced such human tragedies, they should try their best to avoid similar things happening again, right?"

"Uh, this... As an uncle, Lord Liu has done everything he should do and fulfilled his responsibilities as an elder. Now that Shu is in Ri'an, why should Lord Liu fall in love with him? If something bad happened, I believe Mr. Liu doesn't want to see him either. Am I right?"

"What Pang Da said is very true. From the perspective of human feelings and righteousness, every sentence of the Pang Da Da is reasonable. However, in this world, there is not only human feelings and righteousness, but also national justice. Pang Da Da cannot replace the righteousness with small righteousness!"

"What kind of righteousness? It's just an excuse for some people to prepare for their ambitions. Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the heroes are rising, what's going on is no great righteousness, it's just a naked force!"

"Haha, Mr. Pang is absurd! How can there be no great righteousness in this world? The so-called great righteousness is beneficial to most people. This is great righteousness. If it is beneficial to a country, this is great righteousness for the country. Mr. Pang, is the great chaos in the world a good thing that is beneficial to the people of the whole world? Is it ambition that ends the chaos in the world and restores the unification of the world ambition? Even if it is ambition, when a person with this ambition and strength puts this ambition with the welfare of the people, can you deny that this person is standing above righteousness?"

Pang Xi was stunned. Thinking about it carefully, Pang Yuan's words were not wrong. Sometimes righteousness and ambition were not contrary to each other. When Pang Yuan saw Pang Xi's hesitation, he quickly tried harder and continued to fool him.

"Besides, although Yizhou is located in the southwest, can we really stay out of the matter? If Lord Liu doesn't come today, Cao Cao and Sima Fang will not come tomorrow? Let's talk about them, it's the Yellow Turban Army in Hanzhong. Is Liu Zhang confident that he will defeat it? Therefore, Yizhou's return to unity is the general trend and an unchangeable fact. Instead of blood flowing into rivers and corpses into mountains in the future, there is a chance in front of you that you can complete the return of Yizhou without spending one soldier. Do you think this is not a good thing?"

"This...but..."

"Mr. Liu's surname is Liu, and he is still the emperor's uncle of today, and has the grand ambition to support the Han Dynasty. What's wrong with Yizhou? Besides, as a clan uncle, would he treat his clan nephew badly? You might as well think about what would happen if Yizhou fell into the hands of others?"

Pang Yuan's words were speechless. Although he was still very uncomfortable, Pang Xi did not express his opinion immediately, but his heart was already shaken, and Pang Yuan did not just push each other.

After saying goodbye from Pang Xi's mansion, Pang Yuan put away the smile on his face and sighed secretly. There was no need to worry about this matter, it was a natural thing, but the war in the Central Plains has changed drastically recently. Cao Cao was about to unify the Central Plains, and Liu Bei was immediately anxious. If Cao Cao was allowed to unify the Central Plains smoothly, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to reach into the Central Plains. Moreover, Cao Cao's strength has grown and the threat to Jingzhou is getting heavier. Therefore, Liu Bei hopes to end the Shuzhong situation as soon as possible and devote his energy to the Central Plains region, so he has today's trip to Pang's mansion.

Although the visit was effective, it was not possible to convince Pang Xi immediately. Pang Yuan really didn't want Chengdu to have a military coup. In that case, not only would the big city of Chengdu be destroyed, but even worse, Liu Bei's reputation would be ruined. It is hard to say whether players in Shuzhong will take the opportunity to make trouble. By then, Shuzhong will become a mess, and Liu Bei will have no way to turn his energy to the Central Plains.
