Zhang Liao came from Xiaopei from afar to deliver news. Since receiving the news that Zhuo County was occupied by Liu Bei, Zhang Liao did not dare to delay for a moment. After arranging everything about Xiaopei, he immediately rushed towards Xuzhou.

Zhang Liao never expected that Li Chen would look calm, as if everything was in his own way.

"Your Highness, did you know the news of Zhuo County being occupied long ago?" Zhang Liao asked tentatively.

Zhang Liao was very curious at this time because Xiaopei was closest to Zhuo County. Logically speaking, Li Chen could not get the news before him.

Li Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "That's right, it's all my command?"

"What did you mean?" Zhang Liao asked in confusion.

Obviously Zhang Liao could not understand why Li Chen's participation rate was so high. Why could Liu Bei's territory be beaten by Cao Cao, so how could his own Qin King also get involved?

Li Chen smiled and said, "Yuan Shao was afraid of Cao Cao, but he could not defeat Cao Cao, so he decided to divide Cao in these four families. The four families divided Cao and moved three families, but the only one who was the big-eared thief Liu Bei did not move. I decided that Liu Bei would move Zhuo County."

"Your Highness, even if you knew that Liu Bei would move Zhuo County for a long time, what is your command?" Zhang Liao asked in confusion.

"Wen Yuan, a few days ago, I ordered Zang Ba and Sun Guan to transport grain for Cao Cao, but in recent times it was replaced by General Guan Sheng. Do you know why?" Li Chen asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao is a handsome man, and his mind is very useful. After Li Chen said this, Zhang Liao instantly understood: "Your Highness of Qin, did you expect that Liu Bei would let Guan Yu pretend to be General Guan Sheng to deceive the city, so he deliberately asked General Guan Sheng to transport grain recently?"

"Ha ha!"

"Yes, Wen Yuan is really smart." Li Chen said with a smile.

Li Chen looked at Zhang Liao with a puzzled look, and asked Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan was thinking, Cao Cao and us are allies, why would I help Liu Bei to take this Zhuo County behind my back?"

Li Chen's question happened to ask Zhang Liao's heart. Zhang Liao was thinking that Qin and Wei are now in an alliance. Logically speaking, even if they do not send troops to help Cao Cao, they cannot make trouble behind the scenes.

The most important thing is to let Liu Bei take Zhuo County, which is harmful to Li Chen. You must know that the food they sold to Cao Cao was all from Zhuo County. Now that Zhuo County is lost, all the periphery of Cao Cao's territory is lost. Now the grain from Qin is not transported to Wei, and the grain from Wei is not transported to Qin.

"Yes, Your Highness, King Qin, if we do this, we can't get in, and the iron ore inside can't get in?" Zhang Liao said.

"Ha ha!"

"Wen Yuan is worried too much. As long as the Central Plains War is not decided, then no matter whose territory our grain and iron ore passes, they will not dare to touch us at all."

"The Central Plains War will end sooner or later. After I take care of Jiangdong, I will naturally have to get involved. If this Zhuo County is in Cao Cao's hands, what kind of system will it be to fight against allies? In Liu Bei's hands, we will be able to do it at that time."

"As for the safety of this transportation route, I have decided to draw 50,000 cavalry from each army to establish a road protection army, responsible for protecting our food and the safety of iron ore on the road." Li Chen said to Zhang Liao.

The establishment of the road protection army was nominally intended to protect the safety of its own transportation roads, but in fact it was also a kind of political blackmail. However, now the Central Plains melee is in conflict, and all forces are very afraid of Li Chen. Therefore, as long as Li Chen does not formally enter the market in name, he will probably use all forces to transport materials through various forces to transport materials.

After Li Chen's explanation, Zhang Liao finally understood. Liu Bei occupied Zhuo County, which was really under the command of Li Chen. Li Chen deliberately asked Guan Sheng to deliver food, which made Cao's army in Zhuo County relax his vigilance, which led to Guan Yu's surprise attack on Zhuo County.

"Wenyuan, after you go back to Xiaopei, mobilize Xiaopei troops and go outside Xiaopei to perform martial arts." Li Chen ordered Zhang Liao.

Zhuo County was occupied by Liu Bei, and it is estimated that the entire Zhuo County should have been occupied by Liu Bei. Although Cao Cao lost Zhuo County, Li Chen's grain and iron ore had to be transported as usual.

The road protection army has not been established yet and Li Chen has not made any effort, so Li Chen decided to intimidate Liu Bei and ask Liu Bei to give up a way for his family.

The persimmon is so soft that Liu Bei has not yet established a stable foothold in Zhuo County. If Li Chen acted like he was sending troops outside Zhuo County, and then he would like Liu Bei to take a path like Liu Bei, he would have agreed.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that if a group of people are in the same room, if you want to open a window, then most people will not agree. But if you say I want to lift the roof, then they will probably ask you to open a window.

After Zhang Liao received Li Chen's instructions, Zhang Liao also felt confident and returned to Xiaopei overnight.

The next morning, Gao Shun and Cao Xing brought Xiao Pei's army to the outside of the city for exercise. You should know that the straight-line distance between Xiao Pei was only a few dozen miles from Zhuo County. Cao Xing came to a cavalry raid, and Xiao Pei's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry passed by the edge of Zhuo County.

Cao Xing and the cavalry had just passed by Zhuo County, and the scout from Liu Bei's side came to report.

"Report to the King of Shu, Xiaopei's 50,000 troops were gathering outside the city, and it seemed to be practicing." The scout reported to Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was frightened by Liu Bei. Liu Bei thought to himself, could it be that Li Chen was dissatisfied with my second brother pretending to be Guan Sheng and pretending to be Guan Sheng. Is he going to send troops to attack me?

Liu Bei was very panicked at this time. Now his second brother Guan Yu and third brother Zhang Fei were taking soldiers to recover the other counties in Zhuo County. Now there are only 20,000 people in Zhuo County, and Liu Bei personally commanded it.

Liu Bei thought to himself, if Li Chen sent a general to attack the city, I would probably not be able to defend Zhuo County.

"Military advisor, will Li Chen attack our Zhuo County?" Liu Bei asked military advisor Shan Fu.

"King of Shu, I think it's not possible." Shan Fu replied.

In fact, even Shan Fu was unsure at this time. Logically speaking, Li Chen could no longer attack Zhuo County at this time, but Li Chen often did things without following common sense. Shan Fu was also afraid that Li Chen would get angry and suddenly attack Zhuo County, which would be troublesome.

Taking Zhuo County was originally an adventure move, and it was a neighbor with the tiger. Shan Fu was originally a bet. He was betting that the tiger had prey again and would not easily fight them. But since it was a bet, Shan Fu was not sure.
