Liu Zhang was so calm that he said calmly: "Why don't you say anything in advance when your brother is here in Chengdu? I can make me prepare early and make all the friendship of the landlord?"

Li Li knew what he said. Liu Zhang's words were actually perfunctory excuses. He was insincere. He listened to being close, but actually kept people from thousands of miles away, which was quite ruling.

However, Liu Zhang was able to quickly calm down and exchange perfunctory greetings in a calm manner, which was beyond Li Li's expectations, and made him feel alert. He immediately abandoned his contempt, placed him on the same level as himself, and truly valued it.

It is true that compared with the down-and-out civil servants six years ago, the gap between Liu Zhang at this time is more than a thousand miles away. It is as if it is different from the past and cannot be compared with the past.

Six years ago, Liu Zhang was a hostage in Chang'an. Although he had an official position, he could not help but receive a meager salary and did nothing all day long. However, after leaving Chang'an, he transformed himself into a transformation, inheriting Liu Yan's position as the governor of Yizhou, and taking over the nine counties of Yizhou, and guarding the country. Although he did not blatantly separatist and independent, he was actually an "independent kingdom" independent of the Han court, and a "nation country" with abundant resources and abundant people.

The state governor was in a high position for six years, and he ruled millions of people, holding more than 100,000 troops, domineering and tyrannical. If Liu Zhang could remain unchanged at all, he would have been replaced by others and had a different body and head.

People change with the changes in the environment, and Liu Zhang is naturally no exception.

Although Liu Zhang was weak and suspicious, he was not stupid. On the contrary, he had intelligence and wisdom far beyond ordinary people. Unfortunately, his ambition was not to govern the states and counties and disputes in troubled times. Instead, he was obsessed with chanting poems and essays, calligraphy and paintings. Even so, his long-term career as a superior still allowed him to grow rapidly without realizing it. He knew people and used civil servants, mastered civil and military officials, and became familiar with government affairs and military affairs, and then watched the world.

He can clearly understand his real situation, have some foresight about his future and destiny, know what he will face in the future and what kind of ending he will have. However, he is lazy by nature and is very satisfied with the status quo. Even though he knows that such comfortable days will not last long, he is unwilling to try to change. He is still confused and just living it.

However, Liu Zhang never expected that this day would come so quickly that it caught him off guard. It was so fast that he could not accept it, but it was helpless.

Therefore, he clearly heard the potential meaning of Li Li's "his own strength" just now, implying the impulse of forcing the palace, but he pretended not to know, avoided the important things, and instead exchanged greetings and politeness. The reason why he did this was nothing more than to hide his inner fear and anxiety, his at a loss, his struggle to accept his fate, and try to delay time. He left him some room for thinking, thereby preserving his poor dignity.

During a silence, Li Li realized that the reason why Liu Zhang was perfunctory was that he was still lucky and had a evasive mind. He was unwilling to give up Yizhou and hand over the Liu family's foundation and the country to him.

Without thinking, Li Li could guess Liu Zhang's hesitation and struggle deep in his heart at this moment.

Now, the situation in the world is clear, Li Li's family is dominant, followed by Cao Cao in Jizhou, followed by Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and then Liu Zhang, who was ranked last by Sun Ce in Jiangdong. This is the only remaining five forces in the world. Li Li in Xiliang monopolizes half of the country and is extremely strong. Cao Cao in Jizhou occupied the three states, and although his strength was not as strong as Li Li, he was obviously stronger than other princes; Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yizhou under his rule of Liu Zhang, but the combat power of the Jingzhou army is obviously much higher than that of the Yizhou army, so Liu Biao in Jingzhou is still above him.

Now Li Li is in an effort to advance to Yizhou. If the old thief Zhao Wei did not launch a rebellion, Liu Zhang would be confident that he would resist the Xiliang army under Li Li's command. Even if he could not fight Li Li in the end, he could delay at least three years, thereby consuming the military and material resources of the Xiliang army, winning time for other princes, and then sending troops to erode Li Li's territory.

Logically speaking, Liu Zhang would never do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself, but based on Li Li's understanding of him, Liu Zhang would definitely do this. Because Liu Zhang is a descendant of the Han emperor and a descendant of the Liu royal family, the blood of the Liu clan flows in his bones, and he shoulders the unshirkable mission of maintaining the orthodoxy of the royal family.

With half of the world falling into Li Li's hands, Liu Zhang would never sit idly by and watch Li Li continue to grow bigger, and would not give up Yizhou, thereby aggravating the demise of the Liu family. For this reason, he would definitely stop Li Li from further expansion and delay Li Li's pace of advancing the world. He would rather fight to the end than watch Li Li gradually seize the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and then put on the yellow robe, replace the Liu family's country and steal the entire world.

This is the enlightenment that the Liu family should have, the pride hidden deep in their bones, and it is also the fate that they, the Hanzhong clans, cannot escape. In any case, they will do their best to protect the last piece of land in the Han world and safeguard the final glory of the descendants of the Han emperor.

At this point, Li Li knew it well, and had a deep feeling about it. Later Japanese pirates invaded China, and the reason why they could occupy Liaodong first and gain a foothold was that some Manchu and Qing nobles were unwilling to fail and tried to struggle to death, which gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo government and poison the land of Yanhuang. Until the hard-working people on the land of Liaodong could not bear the humiliation and finally fought back, which shook the foundation of the Japanese pirates on the land of China. In addition, the Japanese pirates were too ambitious, which led to successive defeats on multiple battlefields. In the end, the bamboo basket was in vain and collapsed all over the line. Then they rushed to the island with their tails in a panic, and they survived.

The Tartars are still stubborn after a thousand years. How could the current Liu royal family willingly surrender the country?

However, the change of dynasties is the general trend, and it is definitely not something that someone or a small group of people can stop it. There is not nothing that can be turned on the tide, but you must follow the trend and do not act against the tide. Otherwise, you will not be able to turn the tide, and you will be uprooted by the tide, which is unknown.

Obviously, Liu Zhang is definitely not the one who turns the tide and falls. Even if he has this ambition, he will not have a chance at this moment.

I can't take care of myself, let alone anything else?

"It would be great if Ji Yu had this kind of heart, Brother Yu was really pleased."

After a while of silence, Li Li finally spoke when Liu Zhang carefully observed Li Li's face and dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Ji Yu may not know that so far, Brother Yu has been staying in Yizhou for eight months and has arrived in the city more than ten days ago. At that time, the army under Ji Yu's tent had just repelled the Zhao Wei rebels. Just when Ji Yu ordered the city to be blocked, Brother Yu brought several wives and concubines into the city on the eve of the lockdown. At that time, I thought my brother deliberately blocked his brother from outside the city and refused to meet him. Now it seems that it is a misunderstanding. Fortunately, Ziyuan has been kind enough to treat me to everything for me. In my spare time, I will take your sister-in-law around the city and take a look, and it is quite pleasant."

Speaking of this, Li Li paused, looked at Liu Zhang with a smile, and praised: "I have to say that although my good brother is still a little lacking in governing prefectures and counties, the flaws do not cover up the merits. Chengdu City is still very prosperous; there are many shops, all industries are prosperous, the population is large, and the people are relatively rich. This section is worthy of praise."

The conversation turned sharply, and the smile on Li Li's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "Compared with county government affairs, Ji Yu has really been a bit unsatisfactory in terms of public security in the territory and has done nothing. It has been six years and two months since Ji Yu left Chang'an. However, since Ji Yu introduced Yizhou, bandits have been rampant under his rule. The southwest and southern barbarians have repeatedly invaded the border and plundered the southwest counties, so that all counties and counties west of Shu County have been disturbed by the southern barbarians for many years, and the people have suffered from difficulties in their lives and are suffering.

However, Ji Yu never led the army to suppress the Southern Barbarians, neglected military affairs, wasted military equipment, and the troops were lax, which led to the rebellion of Zhao Yu, which led to Ji Yu's rebellion fighting in the entire state for several months before he could quell the rebellion. There are many lessons to summarize, and there are many disadvantages worth pondering, and the root of it is still in Ji Yu's virtuous brother. If you prepare early, actively train troops and increase military efforts, how dare the southern barbarians run rampant? How big a wave can the little Zhao Yu cause!"

Before he finished speaking, before Liu Zhang could answer the conversation, Li Li continued: "However, all this has passed. This time, the 200,000 army under my command of my brother Yu came to help me with my help to quell all border and hidden dangers in Yizhou. My brother doesn't need to be nervous. My brother's troops are all troops that have been fought for a long time. All the soldiers in the army have experienced many battles. I dare not say that one should be worth a hundred, but one should be worth a hundred.

What's more, the generals who mobilized for my brother this time were all famous generals on the battlefield, and they were all generals who relied heavily on me. They were all extremely brave and experienced in fighting. I think they would be able to live up to their responsibilities, pacify the entire territory of Yizhou, wipe out the southern barbarian tribes that have been disaster for a hundred years in the southwest, and make Yizhou truly a veritable 'country of the Heavenly Mansion'!" At the end, Li Li added: "I wonder if my brother has any objections to this?"

After these words, even if Liu Zhang wanted to pretend to be stupid, it would be useless to avoid the important things. Li Li had already made the words clear, and he was extremely strong, with a clear attitude, and told him in a straightforward manner that the Xiliang Army came to take over Yizhou this time, and all he could do was to borrow a donkey to the side, so that he could protect his face. Otherwise, he would just not eat the toast and not be punished, which would make it boring.

This is a threat of being naked, and he blatantly bullying the weak, as if he was determined to be Liu Zhang.

Suddenly, Liu Zhang's cheeks flushed, his face was like a red date, his nose was flaming, and he was breathing like a cow, and he was filled with righteous indignation and furious. Then, he saw his eyes wide open, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, glaring at Li Li angrily as if his eyes were blazing fire, and said in a deep voice: "The General seems to be full of confidence and fearlessness. I wonder what you have to rely on, but he actually regards my tens of thousands of troops in Yizhou as nothing?"
