I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing Liu Bei's ugly face, Ma Su knew that what he said was not what Liu Bei liked. He thought about it and said, "King Chu, it is not a bad thing to avoid fighting. There is a saying that a man can bend and stretch, not to mention. It's not a good thing for Liu Zhe to avoid without fighting."

"Why?" Liu Bei asked.

"First, it can hold Liu Zhe and consume Liu Zhe's time. If Liu Zhe is here for one more day, he will have to consume one more day of food and grass materials. It is not easy to transport food and grass all the way from Hanzhong to here. Second, , can kill the morale of Liu Zhe's soldiers."

Hearing Ma Su say this, Liu Bei's face looked better. ..

3011, Liu Bei is under great pressure

Seeing that Liu Bei's face looked better, Ma Su continued, "King Chu, Liu Zhe came here for nothing more than to annex Yizhou, but now Yizhou has been taken into the hands of the ancestors of the king of Chu. As long as the envoys sent by the king of Chu arrive in Xudu. When the imperial decree of the emperor is issued, Yizhou will be handed over to the king of Chu, and Liu Zhe will have no reason to stay here in Yizhou, and he must retreat."

"Fucheng is the top priority. As long as Fucheng is not lost, Liu Zhe will not be able to go south and capture Chengdu."

"Well, that makes sense."

Liu Bei was finally persuaded by Ma Su, and his face finally became less ugly.

Seeing that Liu Bei's face looked good, Ma Su finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then we'll have to wait for the [-] people sent by those families to arrive."

Liu Bei said, "In the next period of time, we must train the soldiers seriously to ensure the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers, and at the same time, we must be careful to prevent Liu Zhe from sneaking. Liu Zhe's favorite is sneak attacks."

"The King of Chu is wise!" Ma Liang and Ma Su said in unison.

"Prepare for a protracted battle."

Liu Bei also wanted to understand that Liu Zhe was indeed powerful and could not be defeated overnight, so he had to fight for a long time.

"This is Yizhou, which is already the place of this king. I don't believe it anymore. In this king's territory, can't beat him Liu Zhe?"

Liu Bei paused for a moment, as if he felt that his words were too full. If he really couldn't beat Liu Zhe, wouldn't he be slapped in the face?

Therefore, Liu Bei said again, "Even if this king can't beat him, Liu Zhe, but this king insists that Fucheng can persist for a long time. As long as the messenger arrives at Xudu, the emperor agrees to hand over Yizhou to this king to govern, he Liu Zhe will Must retreat."

Although Liu Zhe is powerful, Liu Zhe always thought that he was under the banner of respecting the emperor and the court, and he often maintained respect for the emperor and the court.

This also made the world think that Liu Zhe did not dare to disobey the imperial court or violate the imperial edict, and made the world think that Liu Zhe was a loyal minister.

Therefore, Liu Bei felt that Liu Zhe dared to disrespect the emperor and disobeyed the emperor's decree, which would inevitably change the world's views on Liu Zhe and damage Liu Zhe's reputation.

Liu Bei did not think that Liu Zhe would continue to stay here despite the damage to his reputation.

"The King of Chu is wise!" Ma Liang and Ma Su said in unison again.

"I believe that under the command of the King of Chu, Liu Zhe will definitely experience the first defeat in his life." Ma Su flattered.

Ma Su's words immediately made Liu Bei feel a lot of pressure.

Indeed, from the first battle against the Yellow Turbans to the present, Liu Zhe has gone through countless battles, big and small, and has never failed.

If Liu Bei defeats Liu Zhe here, it will surely make Liu Bei's reputation soar.But it is precisely because of this that Liu Bei is under great pressure.

Can you really beat Liu Zhe easily?Liu Bei asked himself in his heart.

But at this point, unless you are willing to surrender Yizhou, you will have to bite the bullet and continue to fight even if you have no confidence.

At this moment, Liu Feng came in to report.

"King of Chu, old General Yan Yan is here."

Liu Bei was surprised when he heard this.

"Yan Yan? Why is he here?"

Ma Su and Ma Liang also looked at each other, not understanding why Yan Yan came suddenly and received no news at all.

Because Yan Yan set out from behind, when Zhuge Liang sent him, he wanted to let Yan Yan tell Liu Bei the reason for coming, so he did not send another person to inform Liu Bei.

In fact, Zhuge Liang was right not to send someone to tell Liu Bei otherwise.

From the moment of departure, Yan Yan has been hurrying on the road in the starry night, with little rest along the way, and with his subordinates, except for the hurry, he is hurrying.

The [-] people brought by Feng Xi and Zhang Nan, who had set off earlier, were overtaken by them and left behind by Yan Yan.

"The old general said that the prime minister sent him to listen to the dispatch of the king of Chu." Liu Feng said.

"Let him come to see the king."

Liu Bei didn't understand, so he planned to ask clearly.

Liu Feng went out and let Yan Yan come in. After Yan Yan came in, his appearance shocked Liu Bei and the others.

"Old General, what's wrong with you?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.

Yan Yan's clothes in front of her were dirty and covered with dust, and so was her face. The originally pale beard had now turned khaki, all stained with soil.

If he wasn't familiar with Yan Yan's appearance, he could vaguely see the outline of Yan Yan, and Liu Bei couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Yan Yan.

They will even ask people to drive out people who are worse than beggars in front of them.

"Haha, it's okay."

Yan Yan had been on the road for days, and she knew what she looked like. Surprised by Liu Bei, Yan Yan laughed and waved her hand, "King of Chu, this minister has come here on the order of the prime minister to be dispatched."

Yan Yan then explained in detail the reasons why he came here, so that Liu Bei could understand more about what happened in Chengdu.

After Liu Bei heard this, he was glad that he could recruit Zhuge Liang to serve him.
