As the breeze blew, Liu Zhang's face was full of bitterness: "Do I still have any choice?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "General Huang Zhong, who is in the middle stage of the Heavenly General, is here. He alone can massacre thousands of people at the city gate. Even if my brother wants to resist, it will be useless."

"Therefore, for your own life and property, for the safety of countless soldiers and the people, please make a wise choice."

These words almost blocked all of Liu Zhang's thoughts. He sighed deeply and said, "Well, it's God's will. What else can I ask for?"

"Put down your weapons and do not resist."

Zhang Ren felt relieved when he heard this. He dropped the spear in his hand and looked at Huang Zhong with a complicated expression: "I didn't expect the gap between the two realms to be so huge."

"Being in front of you is like facing a towering mountain. I can't even muster the courage to resist."

"Thank you for saving my life, General."

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Your junior brother is more powerful than me. I have personally learned his Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix spear technique, and it really gave me a hard time."

"General Zhang Ren, I still have something to ask of you, so don't underestimate yourself."

Zhang Renyi was stunned and wanted to ask again.

Huang Zhong's commander issued another order: "Order the army to close the four gates. From now on, no one can enter or leave Chengdu. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed without mercy!"

As orders were issued one after another, Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren and others who were ready to surrender all changed their expressions.

"Xuan De, what are you doing? Are you going to kill someone to silence them?"

"This is inevitable"

Liu Bei shook his head and pulled Liu Zhang's arm: "Brother, what you said is serious. How could I have such thoughts?"

"Let me tell you slowly."

Liu Bei pulled Liu Zhang aside and lowered his voice: "Brother, are you willing to make contributions?"

Liu Zhang was stunned, with confusion in his eyes.

After a long silence, he said softly, "The world is about to be unified and the dynasty will change. If we want to maintain the previous prosperity and wealth, we must make contributions."

"If I can achieve some merit, it's what I want in my heart. How can I not be happy?"

"But what credit can a peace in the world bring me?"

"Brother Xian, you are joking."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Right now, I have made a great contribution. As long as you cooperate with me, it will be as easy as taking something out of a bag."

Liu Zhang was stunned and looked at Liu Bei in confusion.

Liu Bei whispered, "Yizhou has been invaded by the southern barbarians for many years. I heard that the barbarian king Meng Huo has unified the surrounding small tribes. He has a strong army and horses, which is a serious threat to us."

"If we can wipe it out, we will have accomplished a great feat!"

Liu Zhang understood instantly, but then smiled bitterly and said, "How can this barbarian king Meng Huo be eliminated so easily?"

"You also know that there are many miasma in the south. It is difficult for us to find their nests."

"Every time we go south, they hide in the miasma forest. We have no way to deal with them. We can only waste manpower and money."

"As soon as the main army left, they swept in and took over Xichang and other places again. We couldn't hold on."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "That's why we need to solve the problem of the southern barbarians once and for all."

"And the key lies in you, brother." "The Barbarian King Meng Huo is ambitious and has always wanted to seize Yizhou and expand his territory, but he has no chance."

"If we both suffer losses in the fight, and Yizhou is wasting time, and you take the initiative to ask for help, do you think he can still bear it?"

"As long as they jump out, it will be a good opportunity for us to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"That's why I ordered the army to block the news and prevent the Barbarian King Meng from getting the most detailed information."

Liu Zhang suddenly realized something, and a hint of contemplation flashed across his eyes: "You want me to act out a play with you?"

Liu Bei nodded: "The more lively our fight, the easier it will be for the Barbarian King to send out his troops, and the greater the chance of destroying the Southern Barbarians."

Liu Zhang paced back and forth: "That's true, but there is one thing, who can convince the Barbarian King Meng Huo?"

"This Meng Huo has always been hostile to me. Will he save me?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to lure it out."

Xu You at the side, Sun Qian smiled and shook his head: "Anyone with ambition will definitely take the bait, because if he succeeds, he will be able to dominate the area."

Liu Zhang's eyes flashed with determination: "Yes."

"Even if there is no merit, it is worth it to completely eliminate the threat of the southern barbarians and save the people of Yizhou from harassment by the barbarians."

“Even if it means taking my own risks, I will never back down.”

Liu Bei laughed out loud: "I was right about you, brother. You also care about the people of Yizhou."

"But there is no need for you to take risks. I will arrange for someone to go to Xichang to meet with the Barbarian King Meng Huo and persuade him."

"Brother, just cooperate with me and play this play well."

Liu Zhang was about to nod his head in agreement when Huang Quan, who had not spoken for a long time, said, "It's not that we don't have anyone available in Yizhou. There are many loyal people around my lord who are not afraid of death. Why does Uncle Liu need to arrange people himself?"

"I am a humble subordinate, but I am willing to go to Xichang for a visit."

Huang Quan fell to his knees with a determined look on his face.

There was a complicated look in Liu Zhang's eyes.

He knew that this was Huang Quan's way of expressing his loyalty, in order to gain more for himself and to make Ye Feng look up to him.

He sighed and said, "Gong Heng, do you know the danger of this?"

Huang Quan smiled and said, "A real man is born between heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of death?"

"To die for the nation, to die for all people, is a death well-deserved."

When Liu Bei saw this, he looked at Huang Quan with a hint of approval: "Gong Heng is willing to go, so I naturally agree."

“But I’m afraid.”

Huang Quan said: "If it doesn't work, I am willing to offer my head."

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Bring some wine. I'll toast Huang Quan and see him off!"
