Fa Zheng believed that after taking Hanyang County, he could divide his troops into two groups to attack the counties of Liangzhou and expand the results of the battle. The side troops went west to take the three counties, and the main force went east to take the land of Guanzhong.

In this way, if there is no unified ruler in the two places, the enemy cannot be met in time, and there is no coordinated planning, then for the Shu army with coordinated planning, it is a weak position.

As long as you attack, you will definitely achieve great results. You can open up the situation in Shu, turn passive into active, and gain an advantage in geographical advantages.

As long as this condition is met, the overall situation in Shu will be revitalized, trapped dragons flying in the sky, soaring in the nine states, and it will be out of control.

The Shu army could not only threaten the separatist forces in Liangzhou, but also threaten Guo Peng.

Once Guo Peng chooses to advance, he will face a clamp attack from Liangzhou and Hanzhong, and it is difficult to take care of each other's ending.

Moreover, the destruction of the Kansai land is too far away from Guo Peng's core ruling area, so it is a great difficulty to transport food and grass. As long as you enter the strategic stalemate stage, Guo Peng will definitely be the first to survive.

By that time, Guo Peng would have to withdraw his troops to return east.

The land he abandoned will become the basis for Liu Zhang to establish his imperial career. At that time, there will be no need to worry that Guo Peng will not recognize Liu Zhang's throne.

"Once Shuzhong and Liangzhou and Guanzhong are connected together, the foundation for fighting for hegemony in the Qin Dynasty and Gaozu's time will be already possessed. With the properties of Shu and the geographical advantage of Liangzhou and Guanzhong, which will be combined into one, the world can be stabilized and the road of hegemony can be re-entered. Can't the general become a hero in the revival of the Han Dynasty?"

"Guanxi is destroyed, from Luoyang to Chang'an, eight hundred miles, Guo Zifeng marched 800 miles, and the food and supplies were exhausted excessively. How long can he last? Once Guo Zifeng cannot persist and he will retreat, Chang'an will be occupied by me. At that time, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and even the entire Guanxi will be the things in my pocket. Can't it be the basis of the imperial career?"

Fa Zheng analyzed Pang Xi for a while and planned the bright future prospects to Pang Xi.

Pang Xi was confused when he heard it, and he vaguely felt that Fa Zheng was right and right.

I am really worthy of being my military advisor! I read you right!

Pang Xi admired Fa Zheng very much, so he often talked about the strategies and tactics of the Northern Expedition with Fa Zheng. He listened to Fa Zheng and expressed his suggestions and what he learned. The two continued to perform strategic deductions on the map, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.

Pang Xi's side had ambitious plans to fight northern Guanzhong, occupy Chang'an, and welcome Liu Zhang to Chang'an to proclaim himself emperor.

Then a few days later, before his report of victory arrived in Chengdu, Liu Biao's messenger arrived.

"Liu Jingsheng wants to sign an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with me to deal with Guo Zifeng?"

Liu Zhang read Liu Biao's letter and listened to Liu Biao's envoy's story, and was a little surprised.

He would not forget that Liu Biao had a conflict with Liu Yan a few years ago and wanted to falsely accuse Liu Yan of his ambition to be emperor, which deteriorated the relationship between the court and Liu Yan and indirectly led to the death of his brothers.

He would not forget that Liu Biao once coveted Shu. After Liu Yan's death, he wanted to use Gan Ning and others to rebel to seek Shu and kill him.

In Liu Zhang's opinion, Liu Biao was even more hateful than Guo Peng because Guo Peng had never targeted him and had no relationship with him. Liu Biao was truly hostile to him and had done something, which made him unable to sleep or eat.

At this time, Liu Biao wanted to join forces with him. Is it a fraud?

Liu Zhang was half-believing and half-doubting.

Having said that, Liu Zhang also knew that Guo Peng was indeed a big threat.

I heard that Guo Peng had already controlled Xuzhou, and both Zhongyuan and Hebei had joined him. Now Hongnong has made a drastic change, so he will definitely not give up this opportunity to enter Guanxi. In this way...

Guo Peng is indeed a very terrible threat.

If he got the land in Guanxi and used the Guanzhong Plain to intimidate Shu, and stared at him from a high place, wouldn’t Shu be very dangerous?

Compared with Guo Peng, who has powerful power, Liu Biao is like a tiger without teeth and claws. He looks fierce but actually has no lethality. He wears armor for 100,000 yuan, and is just a fancy and is used for frightening people. If he really wants to fight, Liu Biao is faster than anyone else.

So Liu Biao is just a superficial threat and cannot be taken seriously. Guo Peng is the real threat. He doesn't speak out, but he will die.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang decided to agree to Liu Biao's alliance agreement.

Give up the confrontation and game between the two sides and turn all military and political forces to the north.

The main force of the garrison set up by both sides in Yong'an area of ​​Jiangzhou was withdrawn, leaving only a few patrol troops, and agreed not to invade each other. Those who violate this agreement will be struck by lightning and will not be allowed to enter the ancestral tomb after death.

Liu Zhang not only signed an alliance with Liu Biao, but also signed an alliance with Sun Ce.

As the initiator, Liu Biao has joined forces with Sun Ce to temporarily suppress the hatred between the two sides and go north to fight against Guo Peng.

The princes in the north were almost wiped out by Guo Peng. If this continues, he will definitely accumulate enough strength to move south. No matter how anxious he is, everything will be over.

After the signing of the alliance, Liu Zhang felt a little security, felt that he had a partner and a little confidence, so he thought about doing something.

Although he and Guo Peng have no grudges in the past and have no grudges recently, they have no contact at all, and they don’t know Guo Peng at all.

But once Guo Peng occupied the land of Guanxi, he would not be unable to think of what he would encounter.

Since we have obtained Qin, there is no one who will continue to covet Shu to the south.

Guo Peng is too powerful and almost entirely located in the north.

In the north, except for Ma Teng and Han Sui's lonely army, there was no more enemy of him, and his enemy no longer existed.

Liu Zhang felt that he should do something, so he found Wang Shang, a native of Yizhou, and Meng Guang, a native of Dongzhou, and asked them about their plans.

After reaching an agreement with Liu Biao and Sun Ce, what should he do to curb Guo Peng instead of waiting for death.

The two have completely different opinions.

Wang Shang believes that Guo Peng has a huge power, a deep foundation, and has as many as 200,000 armored soldiers. The strength of Yizhou is really not comparable to that of Guo Peng, who occupied the entire Kanto.

Therefore, Yizhou should stop advancing after seizing Hanzhong, guard the pass, save food and grass, soldiers, develop itself, accumulate enough strength, protect itself first, and then you can seek help.

Liu Zhang thought it made sense.

But Meng Guang doesn't think so.

"The road in Shu is difficult to move forward, it is difficult for northerners to come in, and it is not easy for Shu people to go out. Once the overall situation in the world is settled, Shu people will be trapped on Yizhou's three-point land. The final result can only be defeated or even surrender without fighting. If you don't go north to capture Guanzhong, can Yizhou alone make the king stable for a lifetime?"

Liu Zhang thought about it and felt that what Meng Guang said was reasonable.

Wang Shang tried his best to oppose it.

"After that being said, it depends on strength to go north to capture Guanzhong. Guo Zifeng is armed with 200,000 armies, and the elite army is good at fighting. No one of the princes in the north is his opponent. Can our army defeat him? Can our army send out 100,000 troops to fight in the north?"

Liu Zhang still felt that what Wang Shang said was reasonable.

"How can you know if you don't try? If you can't get Guanzhong, you can only wait for Guo Zifeng to go south to attack Yizhou. He has the advantage, and our army is forced to defend. Once the defense line is broken, where can the king retreat? Will Nanzhong?"

Meng Guang refuted Wang Shang's opinion.

Wang Shang shook his head again.

"The land in Guanxi has suffered repeated wars, which is already a ruin. It is easy to seize, but it is difficult to garrison the troops. It is almost impossible to obtain local food supplies from the local area. If you want to stay, you need a large amount of food supplies. This is an extremely heavy burden. Can the Yizhou Treasury bear it?

In other words, it is the same for Guo Zifeng. He was exhausted and fought against Ma Teng and Han Sui. He finally seized the land of Guanxi that he had finally seized, but he had to retreat because he had no food supply. Guo Zifeng was definitely unable to occupy Guanxi. For us, this is something we don’t have to worry about."

Wang Shang asserted that even if Guo Peng defeated Ma Teng, Han Sui could not occupy Guanxi and threaten Yizhou.

Liu Zhang suddenly felt that this speculation made the most sense.

"Isn't this the king's chance?"

Meng Guang turned the offensive and said, "Let Guo Zifeng and Ma Teng and Han Sui fight each other, both of them are injured, but the winner cannot stick to the land of Guanxi. At that time, the king can send troops north to attack the tired army with a state of accumulation. Can't he win?

Once victorious, the king can occupy the Guanzhong Plain and Chang'an without any effort, and call for some materials and supplies, and then station locally to obtain food, recruit people to enter Guanzhong, cultivate land on the spot, accumulate food and supplies.

After Guo Zifeng and Ma Han fought, they were exhausted and could not attack again within two years. During this period, it was enough for the king to gain a foothold in Chang'an and develop the local area. So why should the king worry about not being able to retake the path of Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Meng Guang said his speculation to Liu Zhang with a happy face. The more Liu Zhang listened, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

He did not grow up in Yizhou either. He grew up in the north and naturally felt homesick. Although it was safer to stay in Yizhou, under Guo Peng's strong deterrence, he felt that Yizhou was not that safe.

Meng Guang was right. He was trapped in Yizhou and died. Only by constantly striving for it can he have a way out.

If Guo Peng and Ma Han really both suffered losses, then... why can't I take the opportunity to go north to find a bargain?

Liu Zhang's little thoughts were ready.

Wang Shang saw that it was not good. This was simply to drag the Yizhou people and the powerful Guo Zifeng to death. Is it in the interests of the Yizhou people?

Wang Shang was very anxious, so he immediately made a statement.

"Meng Gong's statement makes sense, but the king, Hanzhong has not been taken down, so how can we talk about Guanzhong?"

As soon as he hit the nail on the head, Meng Guang's face changed suddenly, and Liu Zhang's face also changed.

Yes, Hanzhong has not been taken down yet, so why are you talking about Guanzhong?

Yizhou is not complete yet, so why are you talking about the great cause of Emperor Gaozu?

This issue is very debatable.

Liu Zhang felt a little discouraged, Meng Guang felt a little embarrassed, while Wang Shang breathed a lot of relief and no longer worried.

As a result, God's will made people beat people, and at this moment, Pang Xi's good news came.
