Only then can more and more forces come to help.

This will get twice the result with half the effort.

This is the rectification factor stated in Zhuge Liang's letter.

certainly.

Naturally, what Liu Bei attaches great importance to is to go further, to win over the hearts and minds of his subordinates and gather faith.

This is the most important key.

After Liu Bei read Zhuge Liang's handwritten letter.

He himself thought quietly for a long time.

Waiting to sort out everything one by one.

My thoughts gradually changed.

From the initial Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and others refused with their words when admonishing.

Now my mentality has changed a little.

Not so resistant anymore.

And after finalizing the matter.

Liu Bei also continued to remain calm.

I'm just waiting for Fa Zheng to gather his ministers again next time to advise him and proclaim himself king.

After consulting Zhuge Liang's persuasion list.

Liu Bei then also read through the remaining ministers who stayed in Chengdu to persuade him to move forward.

Among them are Xu Jing, Qin Mi, Yang Hong, Li Yan and others.

However, he has now made a decision.

Faced with everyone's persuasion to enter the table.

It was just a slight smile on his face, and he passed it off.

After the messenger from Chengdu had arrived in Hanzhong.

Fazheng, Huang Quan and other important ministers also heard about this matter quickly.

Immediately, the two of them gathered together to discuss.

"I heard from Chengdu that the civil and military ministers headed by the military advisor have submitted forms of persuasion to advance, which have now been approved by the lord himself."

"As expected, the time has come for me to warn you again!"

One word fell.

Huang Quan also echoed: "That's a good statement!"

"I think after some persuasion from the military advisor, my lord may have changed his mind."

The words are over.

The two also quickly reached a consensus.

Follow closely.

Fa Zheng, Huang Quan then summoned all the generals in the army and other civil servants to advise them on the matter of becoming king again.

And while everyone is still preparing.

Liu Bei also summoned his current right-hand man.

Fa Zheng and Huang Quan.

After hearing the summons, the two quickly put down what they were doing and met each other.

After the meeting.

After the two bowed slightly to greet each other, Liu Bei motioned for them to sit down.

Immediately, the three people began to discuss.

Session room.

Liu Bei said bluntly: "Now, Meng Qi has dismissed the Western Qiang tribes and led his men to break through and go south."

"Based on the current situation, after this battle, the main force of Cao Cao's headquarters is obviously seriously injured. It may not take several years to recover!"

"The most critical thing now is probably the situation in Jingzhou."

In one word.

These words were instantly recognized by Fa Zheng.

He nodded repeatedly, then couldn't help but said, "My lord, what I said is true. Now our army has taken over a complete Hanzhong County."

"The county not only has a sufficient population, but also has been here for many years. It has not been affected by the war, and Zhang Lu preached and educated the people in this area."

"It also allows every household in Hanzhong to have enough food to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Moreover, more than 100,000 households have enjoyed good weather and good harvests every year for several consecutive years, which has enabled Hanzhong to accumulate a lot of savings for several consecutive years."

At this point, Fazheng paused for a while and then said slowly: "Hanzhong has a difficult and dangerous terrain, making it extremely difficult to use troops."

"Now my lord is backed by Hanzhong County, and has a convenient location outside."

"Cao's army is no longer in control of the Han River."

"But looking at Jingzhou, it's quite different."

"This is probably because the four counties of Jingnan currently occupied by our army and the Nanjun area headed by the capital Jiangling are facing each other tit for tat with the Cao family's armed forces stationed in Xiangyang, Fancheng, and other places to the north."

"Between Jiangling and Xiangyang is a flat and wide plain area, which is also very suitable for Cao's cavalry to advance and gallop along the land route."

"Even now General Guan is personally guarding Jingzhou."

"Facing the threat from the north, we dare not neglect it at all."

"Not only that."

"In the east of Jingzhou and the northern part of Jiangxia, there are still troops stationed in the Wenpin headquarters area."

"Downstream, the Jiangdong Sun family is always watching with eager eyes."

"At present, if Cao Jun cannot gain a decisive advantage in Hanzhong, he may target Jingzhou in the future."

"He even went so far as to make peace with the Sun family. In order to carve up Jingzhou, Sun Quan would probably..."

One word fell.

The county fell into a brief silence for a while.

The mood in the mansion was a bit solemn.

Fazheng's analysis immediately made Liu Bei feel that Jingzhou was always in the haze between wars.

He pondered for a long time.

The expression on his face also changes back and forth.

Immediately, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiaozhi, from your perspective, what do we want to do next?"

As soon as this was said.

Fa Zheng first thought for a moment.

After a moment, his eyes seemed to be filled with endless wisdom.

It also seemed that he had already made a plan.

Fazheng cupped his hands and responded softly: "My lord, in the light of justice, the first step is to establish the political governance issues among the three eastern counties."

"The three eastern counties connect Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and are located between the two places. The strategic relationship is extremely important."

"After the selection of generals who will be responsible for local government affairs and stationed here is decided."

"The Lord is arranging the deployment of troops in Hanzhong County and surrounding areas and the defense of each general."

"After all the affairs have been sorted out."

"The lord can leave a large general to live in Hanzhong and be responsible for unified control of various defense deployments in Hanzhong, and then send the main force back to Chengdu to recuperate and integrate the two rivers."

"Then, my lord can sit in Chengdu and watch the changes in the world."

"If the time is right, we can swear to the Northern Expedition, leave Qinchuan, attack Guanzhong, and then march eastward to the Central Plains."

"But if Jingzhou is in danger or the Sun family betrays the alliance again, they come with their people to invade."

"Then we can once again lead the army eastward along the river to aid Jingzhou."

A lot of words came out.

Fa Zheng's words also pointed out the direction for Liu Bei's next path.

After listening.
