Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Zhen Yu reported to Cao Ying:

"Gongzi, the Zhen family's merchant seats distributed on the Yizhou side have detected the news, and recently there have been many more caravans going to Jingnan under Liu Zhang's rule than before."

"At the same time, mixed in the caravan, there seems to be a high-ranking official from Shudi under Liu Zhang."

Shujin, since the pre-Qin period, has become a world-renowned luxury product.

Even in later generations, Shujin is still a major characteristic product of Shudi.

And in the circle of the family of this era, they are most fond of luxury.

Especially in the Central Plains, the family is particular about dress etiquette.

Shujin just satisfies the luxury of the family circle.

As a result, Shujin has become a kind of symbol in the circle of the Maison, as well as synonymous with high-end luxury.

And this is why, although Liu Zhang is in a quiet corner.

But between Shudi and the outside world, trade has been an important reason.

This TM's is all money!

Whether it is Liu Zhang or the Shudi family, who can resist greed and not earn this money?

However, there is an old sixth, who just blocks Xichuan's door to the outside world.

This person is Zhang Lu, who has been entrenched in Hanzhong for more than 20 years.

The grudge between him and Liu Zhang can be traced back to the era of Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan.

After Liu Yan proposed the system of "abolishing history and establishing pasture", he entered the boundary of Yizhou with a Zhangba snake spear (dog head funny), taking the lead in opening the era of separation.

But.

Liu Yan, this person, is very ambitious, but not courageous.

He did not dare to confront the central court of the Han court.

Therefore, he sent Zhang Lu to kill the local taishou in Hanzhong and burn down an important plank road from Shudi to Chang'an.

But the result?

Zhang Lu completed the task brilliantly, but turned around and entrenched himself in Hanzhong and became an enemy of Liu Yan.

Later, Liu Yan died with hatred, and Liu Zhang continued to confront Zhang Lu after he succeeded to the throne.

This state of affairs has been in place for more than 20 years now.

Thus.

Liu Zhang wanted to send envoys to other places, and generally borrowed the name of the Shudi caravan.

Or else.

I am afraid that the envoy on Liu Zhang's side has just been sent, and it will not be long before the news that the envoy was killed by Zhang Lu's people halfway.

And now.

Liu Zhang sent a high-ranking official from Shudi to Jingnan.

This incident instantly aroused Cao Ying's alertness.

"Uncle, you order the person in charge of the Zhen Family Commercial Seat over there in Shudi to continue to pay close attention to all the movements in Shudi."

"Liu Zhang, I'm afraid I want to ask foreign aid to deal with Zhang Lu and resist my Aweng mind."

Cao Ying ordered Zhen Yu.

He didn't say this out of nowhere.

On the Yizhou side, Cao Ying could roughly guess why Liu Zhang sent an envoy to Jingnan.

Zhang Lu cut off Shu Dao, and Liu Zhang suffered Zhang Lu for a long time.

He wanted to ask Liu Bei to enter the river to help defend against Zhang Lu.

Seeing this, don't think that Liu Zhang is a stupid Baitian.

He's smart!

At least in the matter of inviting Liu Bei into Sichuan, Liu Zhang was definitely not at the mercy of his subordinates.

Although.

Liu Bei had previously become a guest general of Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Lü Bu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others.

And these people who made Liu Bei a guest general have also died one after another.

From a metaphysical point of view, Liu Bei's probability of devouring the Lord seemed to be even more ruthless than some fierce man holding a Fang Tian Drawing Halberd.

But anyway.

Liu Bei is now the only person who has confronted Cao Cao head-on countless times, but he is still bouncing.

In terms of combat experience, Liu Bei is also quite rich.

Especially small-scale troop combat.

Liu Bei's command ability really has nothing to say.

As for large-scale corps operations.

Emmm, Liu Bei has not fought any rich battles so far.

And perennially in the state of "wanted criminal".

The only two rich battles in the original history were probably the battle with Cao Cao for Hanzhong and the defeat of Yiling.

The defeat of Yiling also left a famous terrier of "Liu Zhibing" for future generations.

However, this does not deny that Liu Bei was indeed the most famous hero in the world besides Cao Cao.

As for Sun Shiwan....

Sorry, except for the checks and balances, he and Cao Liu are really incomparable.

Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to enter Sichuan, ostensibly to defend against Zhang Lu.

In fact, it was even more to guard against Cao Cao.

As we all know, Lao Cao is not a person who is willing to be lonely.

Seeing that it is impossible to kill Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the next few years.

Therefore, Lao Cao decided to set his sights on the west.

The west, generally speaking, the great princes worth mentioning can be divided into four forces.

The first is Ma Teng, and the second is Han Sui.

These two occupied Liangzhou, and there were many Kansai princes under their command who recognized them as big brothers.

They can be regarded as the allies of a group of small Kansai princes.

Except for Ma Teng Han Sui.

The third force entrenched in the West is Zhang Lu, and the fourth is Liu Zhang.

However, Zhang Lu knew that his strength was far inferior to Cao Cao, so he had sent emissaries to nominally swear allegiance to Cao Cao a few years earlier.

Although, Hanzhong was still under his rule.

But if Cao Cao goes south.

I'm afraid it won't be long.

Zhang Lu will choose to surrender quickly, like a country with the reputation of "romantic capital" in Europe next door.

Thus.

Liu Zhang wanted to invite Liu Bei into Sichuan, and the person who really wanted Liu Bei to deal with was actually Cao Cao.

It's just a pity.

Liu Zhang had the wrong idea.

He is at best a gatekeeper dog.

And Liu Bei is a fierce wild wolf in the wilderness!

Luring wolves into the house is tantamount to digging one's own grave.
