In Wancheng, Nanyang, Liu Bei was still waiting for news from Pang Tong in the prefect's mansion. The situation is getting worse and worse now. Liu Bei himself has begun to save money, because there is not much food and grass. If this continues, Liu Bei will definitely have no food available within a month. At that time, Liu Bei will be really finished.

So Liu Bei is now living like a year, and now he has received another bad news, that is, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Mang in Yangzhou have formed an alliance. This news is simply a thunderbolt, which makes him Liu Bei burnt inside and outside.

It can be said that Liu Bei in Yuzhou and Liu Mang in Yangzhou are a pair of brothers and sisters. Both of them lack food and grass. However, Liu Mang asked for food and grass for the people below, but Liu Bei was just for his army.

"Is there no news yet?" Liu Bei walked back and forth anxiously in the prefect's mansion. They were all waiting for the news about Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. Pang Tong could be regarded as having gone with the hope of the people of Yuzhou.

"Report to lord, no!" Jian Yong next to him clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "He was responsible for intelligence. The intelligence personnel in Jingzhou have basically taught Pang Tong what to do. Now Pang Tong has taken them to escape. Where can there be any information coming? The information about the alliance between Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Mang in Yangzhou was bought by him, Jian Yong and others, otherwise Liu Bei and the others would really know nothing.

Jian Yong is not as casual as before in front of Liu Bei, because Liu Bei already had an objection to Jian Yong. The last time he speculated that Sun Qian was lurking by the enemy, Liu Bei had already become disgusted, so Jian Yong is still a person in front of Liu Bei.

"No. No, there is no news all day! Your men are dead! I give you a thousand-money fund every year, but now there is no news you give me now! "Liu Bei is so angry that he is almost infuriating, but there is still no information on the information. No, he is almost blind.

"Damn it!" Jian Yong lowered his head. He didn't argue. He couldn't say that he had given all the intelligence personnel to Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. This order was issued by you, Liu Bei. Jian Yong didn't argue. Liu Bei couldn't take Jian Yong and vent his anger.

I could only snort coldly.

"Lord, it seems that this military advisor is no longer reliable!" Sun Ce smiled slightly at the scene in front of him. Pang Tong had done useless work, which was what Sun Qian wanted to see the most. Only Pang Tong was useless. This was how Sun Qian could do his best.

"Hmm?!" Liu Bei frowned immediately. Jian Yong stood aside and looked at Sun Qian with a look of fear.

Liu Bei did not mean that the fool knew about the disagreement between Sun Qian and Pang Tong, but now we should work together instead of destroying bridges across the river.

"Lord. Our military food is insufficient. It is too late to wait for news from the military advisor, so we should make plans as soon as possible!" Sun Qian was also smart. He no longer said bad things about Pang Tong in front of Liu Bei. In this way, Liu Bei could only make Liu Bei hate him in front of Liu Bei and think that he was a villain who could only make small reports. Now Sun Qian's indirect way has always been to not remind Liu Bei of his role of Sun Qian and his uselessness. He should stop at the right time.

The military advisor is unreliable, which really makes people think of it. Is it because Pang Tong is unreliable and surrenders to the enemy or something else? One word has multiple meanings.

"It's time to make plans as soon as possible!" Liu Bei also changed his mind as Sun Ce's words. It turned out that Sun Gan was not slandering Pang Tong but asking him to make plans as soon as possible. He was misunderstood him. In this subconscious, Liu Bei had resentment towards Pang Tong. You said that Pang Tong wanted people to ask for money, and Jingzhou was the home court of your Pang family. According to reason, the food and grass should have arrived long ago, but now it's a big fuss. Not to mention food and grass, there is not even a shadow of food and grass.

"Lord! Our army's food and grass are already insufficient. In addition to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, which is still supplying sufficient food and grass for two meals a day, the other garrison troops have reduced their food supply. Although this policy can slow down the cost of food and grass for our army, it is not a long-term solution. In another half a month, we will have to borrow food and grass from the people!" Sun Gan stood up and explained to Liu Bei.

"I have to borrow food and grass again!" Liu Bei felt uncomfortable when he heard this. Why can Liu Bei have a territory and so many people support him? It is because Liu Bei has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness. Those people are singing his story about Liu Bei, so Liu Bei was able to recruit soldiers and military generals and civil officials to surrender. However, borrowing food and grass from the people will affect his reputation. How much food can the people have in their hands? I have borrowed it once. The people used to borrow it because of your reputation and destiny. How long did they borrow it again?

Isn’t this clearly ruining his reputation as Liu Bei?

"My lord is considerate of the people, but if I don't wait to borrow food, then I'll wait to starve to death!" Sun Gan said to Liu Bei without hesitation.

"Although the reputation of lord's benevolence and righteousness is important, once the lord's subordinates starve to death, what's the use of lord's reputation? If there is food sent by the military advisor, lord's naturally does not need to sacrifice his reputation, but this military advisor, haha!" Sun Gan just sneered twice without saying that, but Liu Bei's heart directly diverted hatred.

He and the people will affect the reputation of benevolence and righteousness. If they do not borrow food, they will lead to failure of great achievements. This is because one person is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. Invisibly, Sun Gan and Liu Bei made Liu Bei’s impression of Pang Tong a little distant.

"Sun Gan!" Jian Yong, who was beside him, was shocked in his eyes. When did Sun Gan be able to do such a plan? Sun Gan misled it again and again. If Jian Yong had not understood the subconsciousness of Sun Gan's subconscious, he might have been brought in by Sun Gan, and thus became dissatisfied with Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.

"Borrow!" Liu Bei could only spit out such a word in his gritted teeth. How could he not borrow? The troops under his command would not be full. If they were defeated, Liu Bei's enemies would not have sympathy for Liu Bei. Whether it was Liu Mang or Cao Cao, they wanted to eliminate Liu Bei and then go faster. Liu Bei had already walked on this road and he could no longer turn around. How many of the princes had failed would have good consequences. Gongsun Zan burned his family to death. Yuan Shu didn't even leave a body. If Liu Bei lost, he might die worse than them. So Liu Bei had to borrow food and grass.

After hearing the words of the lord Liu Bei, Sun Gan felt proud. Smearing Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan was just Sun Gan's first step.

Sun Gan still has some skills, otherwise he would not have been recommended and assisted by the great scholar Zheng Xuan for so long. Even if Pang Tong arrived, Sun Gan was not abandoned.

"Lord, even if we borrow it, we will only last for half a month! Except for the lord who wants to force the people to resist the people, otherwise once the military advisor's food and grass cannot be delivered, then we will still not be able to escape a way to perish!" Sun Gan said loudly again. This is not Sun Gan's scary, but the fact. Once the food and grass are missing, I am afraid that no one else will do it. Liu Bei can kill himself. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry over there was the first to do it. Those Qiang barbarians don't understand your principles. In his opinion, joining the army is a robbery. It was originally a job that was not safe to be safe, so you can be so happy when robbing. If you don't even give us food, you will naturally be a damn person. At that time, you will be really suffering from the disaster.

Liu Bei's face turned gloomy, "Let's go out!" Liu Bei had reached this level and could no longer afford to lose. Now he had to borrow food and could only delay his death. Will this be given to others? Liu Bei asked the civil and military officials below.

But these civil and military officials are not gods, did they transform food and supplies for him? So when they looked at Liu Bei, they were all avoiding their eyes.

Waste, waste, a bunch of waste! "Liu Bei roared in his heart, his face was already terrifyingly dark. If his third brother was there, he would definitely find that his elder brother's face was even darker than that of Zhang Fei.

Looking at Liu Bei's scary dark face, Jian Yong knew that Liu Bei wanted to kill someone. If it was a bad thing, someone might be unlucky. Jian Yong had no choice but to step forward. He did not speak to Liu Bei but to Sun Gan next to him, "Sun, since you don't speak like this, you will naturally have a plan, so why not teach us!"

"What can Gongyou teach you?" Liu Bei looked at Sun Gan immediately after being reminded by Jian Yong. Yes, since Sun Gan spoke, he naturally had a plan, otherwise why should he say it?

"Lord, this plan is to borrow food and grass from Cao Cao, Yanzhou!" Sun Gan was still very productive in his stomach, and immediately came up with a brilliant plan, which was to borrow food and grass from his neighbor Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao?!" The people below started to discuss. Don't you know what kind of character Cao Cao is. He is a hero and a wise master, but the most important thing is that he and their master Liu Bei are mortal enemies. The hatred between Yuzhou and Yangzhou is not even worse than that.

Liu Bei's good face disappeared again. He cheated Cao Cao. Cao Cao had the intention to kill him. Cao Cao was so good at lending food and grass to him. Cao Cao was so happy that he couldn't have time to be happy. Isn't this putting his face over and beating Cao Cao?

"Lord, there are three reasons why Cao Cao borrowed grain, one of them..." Sun Gan looked at the crowd of civil and military discussions. If he had such a scene, you all thought it was impossible. I turned him into facts. Isn't this a reflection of my value? And it was under the premise that Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan were unable to do it. Just when Sun Gan was about to talk, a messenger suddenly rushed in there.

"Report to the lord, the Jingzhou military advisor has written a letter!" As soon as the messenger came in, he gave a message that made everyone scream.

"What! Letter!" Liu Bei stood up on the spot, he couldn't sit still.

"The military advisor has sent a letter. This is the food and grass that has been prepared!"

"This is great. With food and grass, we can expand our army!" The civil and military officials below were also smiling happily. With food and grass, we can expand our army. When the army is expanded, we will naturally have various positions. Those military marquis, hundreds of generals, and these real power positions are all money, so we can arrange our own people, right?

"Hurry up and take it up!" Liu Bei was overjoyed. Didn't they just wait for news from Jingzhou? Now that the news has arrived, they are naturally overjoyed.

"Lord, this, this!" Sun Gan was stunned. He had not talked about it yet, and he had not yet said his third one.

"Your suggestion is suspended first, and you will see the news from the military advisor first!" Liu Bei stopped Sun Gan with a smile.

"Military advisor, military advisor, it's him Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan again!" Sun Gan roared in his heart, and his murderous intent towards Pang Tong became deeper. However, the lord insisted on doing this, and Sun Gan could only nod and said that he had retreated.

A letter was quickly handed over, and Liu Bei took it apart and read it. The more he read it, the faster his face changed, from the excitement at the beginning to the solemnity, to hesitation, and even a kind of doubt.

"What's wrong with lord?" Jian Yong next to him asked Liu Bei in confusion, because Liu Bei's face changed so badly.

"Xian and you will have a look!" Liu Bei taught Jian Yong the letter in his hand.

Jian Yong looked at him with all his eyes. His face was also changing.

"This. This! What did the military advisor think?!" Jian Yong didn't understand. The letter was passed on to the hands of others with Liu Bei's permission.

Sun Gan also read the letter. Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan were really brave. He actually asked the lord to send troops to attack Fancheng and take down Fancheng.

"Haha. Haha!" Sun Gan laughed. Anyway, everything Pang Tong agreed with, so Sun Gan would object. This is Sun Gan's current respect for humanity. What's more, it was supposed to be when Sun Gan showed his talent, but it was interrupted because of a letter from Pang Tong. Do you think Sun Gan can't be angry?

Sun Gan’s laughter was so harsh that it made Liu Bei feel a little uncomfortable. “Do you have any opinions?”

"Lord, it's not that Sun Gan has any objections to the military advisor. The military advisor wants to kill our entire Yuzhou army and lord!" Sun Gan stepped forward and bowed to Liu Bei.

"Yes, yes! This Fancheng cannot be fought!" A group of civil officials over there also hesitated. Pang Tong wanted the Yuzhou army to attack Fancheng. Where is Fancheng? It is the territory of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and it can also be the lifeblood of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. If he fights it, it will really be broken with Liu Biao's face.

"Lord, this Fancheng is the barrier to the west of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. It is indestructible and has tens of thousands of elite troops guarding it. The city is dozens of feet high and surrounded by live water from the Yangtze River. It can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you don't have a 100,000 army, it won't be able to take it down!" Sun Gan said, looking at Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei expands his army, he will only have a 100,000 army. How can you chew this Fancheng?

"My lord, even if we have worked hard to capture Fancheng, then the end of our Yuzhou will be almost here! There is Xudu Cao Cao in the north of Yuzhou. Cao Cao is determined to the world. Now he is trapped in Hebei. The day when we escape from the trap is the time for our two armies to fight. There is Yangzhou Liumang Lujiang Lubu in the east. Our army has fought with him in Yangzhou. The war between the two sides has not yet been lifted. This is already surrounded by two enemies. If Fancheng is taken, then Liu Biao in Jingzhou will be completely offended to death. If Liu Biao is also an enemy with our army, then our army will be truly There are enemies everywhere! Lord, isn’t this military advisor trying to let our Yuzhou army be buried with us?" Sun Gan Yi said righteously, and the civil and military officials over there nodded directly. If they were really all enemies, they would be really over. Their lord is not Cao Cao. Cao Cao can now be considered as a civilian in the north. He has hundreds of thousands of armored men in his hands. Even if he is an enemy of the world, his lord Liu Bei only has a state of land, and only tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. If he offended all the princes around him, then wait to be besieged.

"This, this, this!" Liu Bei frowned. He didn't want to attack Fancheng. He could think of what Sun Gan thought. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou was a city guardian dog, if you offend this old dog and steal other people's bones, they would still roll up their sleeves to cut you. The rabbit would bite people if he was anxious, let alone a prince like Liu Biao.

"Lord, Jian Yong thinks what the other emperor said is a bit exaggerated!" Jian Yong suddenly spoke while Liu Bei hesitated.

"Jian Yong!" After hearing Jian Yong's speech, Sun Gan narrowed his eyes. Jian Yong originally questioned Sun Gan and said bad things about Sun Gan in front of his lord. Sun Gan didn't believe it. After all, Sun Gan and Jian Yong have worked together for a day or two, but now it seems that Jian Yong is really not simple. Has he and Pang Tong already joined forces?

Sun Gan couldn't help but frown and said, if Jian Yong really had to be with Pang Tong, then Sun Gan would really have to reconsider it.

In fact, Sun Gan misunderstood Jian Yong. Jian Yong is not an alliance with anyone. He is only loyal to Liu Bei. Whoever makes him suspicious will naturally say bad things in front of Liu Bei.

"What do you think about Xian and you?" Liu Bei asked as he looked at Jian Yongji's objection.

"My lord, Fancheng, is the important place of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Mr. Sun Gan said that if we take Fancheng, we will offend Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and have always surrounded the enemy from all sides. But don't forget one thing, that is, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has already formed an alliance with Liu Mang in Yangzhou. With our hatred with Liu Mang in Yangzhou, what's the difference between this offense and Liu Biao in Jingzhou!" Jian Yong said to Liu Bei.

"Yes, yes! This Jingzhou Liu Biao has formed an alliance with Yangzhou Liu Mang, and is already our enemy!"

"This is different. Liu Biao is not enterprising, and forming an alliance is just Liu Biao's comfort!" Sun Gan was right. It was really difficult for Liu Biao to make up his mind to be an enemy of Liu Bei in Yuzhou. Liu showed that he just wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Haha!" Jian Yong did not refute but changed his perspective. "My lord, this Fancheng is an important town in Jingzhou. If you take down Fancheng, you can take down Fancheng and go to Jingchu. Xiangyang can go down for half a day, and the entire Jingzhou was stared in front of you. Lord, there is another point that the military advisor mentioned in this letter that Fancheng is the key point. If you take down Fancheng, then our army will completely ask for the crisis of food and grass! Fancheng is an important town in Jingzhou. With the prosperity of Jingzhou, there must be more than 10,000 grain and grass. In this way, the lord can expand the army of 100,000, destroy Yangzhou first and then plot against Jingzhou!" Jian Yong's courage is really great. He actually wants to take Yangzhou and annex Jingzhou.

"Food and grass!" A glimmer flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. What is Liu Bei's lack now? It's food.

"Lord, no," Sun Gan also wanted to stop Liu Bei. "Lord, we can borrow food and grass from Xu Du, Cao Cao! As long as we do." Sun Gan had not explained clearly yet, Liu Bei stopped Sun Gan from speaking.

"You don't need to say much!" Liu Bei had a fixed test in his mind. Food, food, or food. As long as there is food, you can get through the difficulties. If there is no, don't talk about anything else. Liu Bei felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart when Sun Gan said about Cao Cao.

"Xianhe, how can Fancheng go down!" Liu Bei asked Jian Yong beside him, who was responsible for intelligence.

"Lord, although Fancheng is big, Fancheng has one disadvantage, that is, the difficulty of the city gate of Fancheng!" Jian Yong said to Liu Bei that Fancheng was big, so naturally his city gate was thick. It had a jack and a suspension bridge. Once it was closed, it would be difficult to open the car. However, such a city gate had another disadvantage, that was, it was difficult to close the city gate, at least it would be a scent of the scent.
