Xu Shu's strategy is not wrong.

Except for Pang Xi, the Taishou of Qianwei County, who has the ambition of preserving, the other guards are really just waiting.

Struggles for power like this are really common in Yizhou. When Liu Yan was in Yizhou just now, the local forces were dissatisfied with Liu Yan's authority and launched a rebellion against him for many years. It took Liu Yan a lot of effort to put down the civil strife. This is also why when Liu Yan was in turmoil in the world, he owned Yizhou but there was no movement at all.

After Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, there was a rebellion of the local forces in Yizhou. Liu Zhang was already mediocre, and it was very difficult to deal with this kind of rebellion, but fortunately, Liu Yan left a good foundation, and it didn't take long to put down the civil strife. But this didn't last long, Liu Zhang offended Liu Biao, Liu Biao sent people to attack Yizhou, Liu Zhang had to send troops to meet the enemy, at this time there was civil strife in Yizhou, causing Liu Zhang to be anxious.

But no matter who ascends to the throne or who rebels, the only thing that remains unchanged is the interests of the family. For now, the watchers are all from big families. They have their own or their family's interests in mind. They hoped that Liu Bei, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan would lose both, and then they could come out to pick peaches.

Xu Shu would not give them such an opportunity, and publicly sent a decree to the county guards, explaining Liu Bei's affairs clearly and reasonably. He also said that if these people felt that Liu Bei was not enough to be the pastor of Yizhou, they could come to Chengdu to discuss one or two. Of course, in order to stabilize Yizhou and stabilize the people, so as not to be taken advantage of by others, Liu Bei still asked the guards of each county to come to Yizhou, and the soldiers and horses would not be used.

The guards of the counties really obeyed Liu Bei. Liu Bei asked them to go to Chengdu without any soldiers and horses, didn't that just stretch out their necks and cut them off? Only go if you are stupid.

Of course, there were two county guards who responded to Liu Bei very much, after all, they had been bought by Liu Bei before. They are Li Yi, the guard general of Brazil County, and Lou Fa, the guard general of Dongguanghan County.

The two really went directly to Chengdu without bringing any soldiers and horses.

For the arrival of the two guards, Liu Bei was very happy. Because there are two people who set an example, then the other guards will naturally not be able to sit still. And how to make people unable to live, Liu Bei has his own way.

Li Yi was a little dissatisfied with Liu Bei before, and felt disgusted when he saw Liu Bei for the first time. And this disgust is just that Li Yi feels that if Liu Bei comes, he will give up the interests of other people in two ways, especially Li Yi's interests. But Liu Bei wooed Li Yi and gave him a lot of money. Li Yi felt that Liu Bei was a good person, much more generous than Liu Zhang, so he took refuge in Liu Bei.

And Lou Fa is much simpler, this guy just thinks that following Liu Bei will have a great future.

No matter what factors the two of them voted for Liu Bei, Liu Bei came with absolute sincerity.

The largest specification, it is necessary to have the largest specification to welcome Li Yi and Lou Fa, this is Liu Bei's order. After the two arrived in Chengdu, Liu Bei personally came out to greet them. This specification directly made Li Yi and Lou Fa feel flattered, they didn't have such treatment under Liu Zhang before.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Beizhong said that Li Yi and Lou Fa have contributed a lot to Yizhou, and they have always been in the dust, how could such a talent be buried? Others can do it, but Liu Bei can't. After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, have always been eager for talent, and they naturally have to be promoted for talents.

Liu Bei immediately corrected the mistakes of the previous Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, and crowned Li Yi and Lou Fa as generals of Zhengbei Zhonglang and Zhengdong Zhonglang, and still served as the guards of Brazil County and Dongguanghan County.

Liu Bei didn't just talk, he prepared the seal ribbon and appointment documents, and waited for Li Yi and Lou Fa to accept it.

Li Yi and Lou Fa were excited, their struggle for so many years was nothing more than to have more interests and power. Liu Bei gave them so many benefits at once, so that the wishes of the two of them for many years could come true.

Liu Bei treated him so kindly, how could Li Yi and Lou Fa refuse, and they accepted the appointment with gratitude at that time.

Looking at the two of them being grateful to Dade, Liu Bei was very proud in his heart, and it seemed that he was still very smart.

Zhang Song didn't have a good impression of Li Yi and Lou Fa, these two guys used to flatter Liu Zhang in all kinds of ways, so they almost treated Liu Zhang as their father. Now that Liu Zhang has no rights, the two of them instantly fell to Liu Bei, what a villain.

The most annoying thing about villains is that once they get what they want, they will be very proud and will despise others. For example, now Li Yi and Lou Fa actually greet Zhang Song with an equal posture. Zhang Songqi was almost rough.

"Such villains, before Your Majesty recovers Yizhou, I will find an opportunity to kill them." Zhang Song didn't mention how disgusted he was.

In Li Yi and Lou Fa's opinion, Zhang Song was the same as them, and even as far as they knew, Zhang Song would show goodwill to Liu Bei a little later.

Then, Liu Bei took Li Yi and Lou Fa into Chengdu City and gave them a very large reception banquet.

In the end, Liu Bei also rewarded them with a large amount of property, and then let them go back to their respective territories to guard the place for Liu Bei.

The property and these things were all taken out of the Yizhou Mansion, which was considered for nothing, and of course Liu Bei would not be stingy. The reason for letting them go back was that Liu Bei was worried that Zhang Ren and others would take the opportunity to attack Pasir County and Dongguanghan County. Especially in Dongguanghan County, after taking here, Chengdu will have no room for defense. Liu Bei even received the news that the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su had a smooth journey, did not encounter obstacles, and the marching speed was extremely fast. Liu Bei couldn't delay any longer, once he was killed by Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su to Chengdu, his full plan would be lost.

Li Yi and Lou Fa thought that Liu Bei would make things difficult for them, or send a henchman to them to restrain them, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to trust them so much, and there was no suspicion or restraint at all, which was beyond their expectations.

Liu Bei is not stupid, if he wants the two of them to work hard for themselves, the necessary trust must be there.

The two took the property rewarded by Liu Bei, the letter of appointment for the official position, and the ribbon, and happily returned to their respective territories.

Returning to their own territory, feeling Liu Bei's trust and kindness, Li Yi and Lou Fa quickly mobilized all the troops under their command, closed the checkpoints, strictly guarded them, and blocked the soldiers and horses of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su.

When the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su rushed to the border of Dongguanghan County, they suddenly encountered a stubborn resistance, making it difficult to move an inch.

Lou Fa went into battle directly and led the soldiers to occupy a favorable position to defend it, which boosted morale.

No matter how Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su persuaded Lou Fa, Lou Fa was determined to oppose the three of them.

It's useless to be reasonable and talk about friendship, so you can only fight. Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su didn't think that it would be smooth sailing. And after Dongguanghan County was taken, Chengdu was close at hand, and the necessary sacrifices were required.

So on the land of Yizhou, the first civil war after Liu Bei occupied Yizhou began.

Lou Fa occupies a favorable terrain and is in a defensive situation, and the soldiers under his command are even more united, and the combined armies of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su cannot break through the opponent's defense.

The situation is in a standoff.

In such a state of confrontation, the soldiers and horses of Brazil County led by Li Yi arrived at this time and carried out a surprise attack on the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su. The incident happened suddenly, and the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su was defeated and retreated for 50 miles.

This great victory reached Liu Bei's ears, and Liu Bei immediately rewarded Li Yi and Lou Fa, and said that he would reward them for their meritorious deeds in the future to quell the rebellion of the three. Li Yi and Lou Fa worked harder.

This victory gave Liu Bei time to stabilize his foundation, and Xu Shu immediately began to persuade the guards of several other counties. This persuasion was also in the form of letters, but it was different from the previous politeness. This time, Liu Bei had a bit of a tough posture in the letter. With a big victory, Liu Bei has the confidence to speak.

The content still re-expresses Liu Bei's justice, hoping that these guards will return to Chengdu to report on their work. Liu Bei's rewards and official titles to Li Yi and Lou Fa were also added. These two people have been regarded by Liu Bei as an example of persuasion, and they vaguely said to these guards, you follow Uncle Benhuang, and the benefits are definitely great.

The last point is that Liu Bei went to visit the family of the guards, and the families expressed their thoughts to the benevolent Uncle Liu Huang, hoping to reunite with the family.

The meaning of this is a bit intriguing.

Don't misunderstand, the benevolent and righteous Uncle Liu Huang will not do the kind of immoral thing that threatens the other party with his family. Uncle Liu Huang just took hundreds of his brothers who had a good relationship with him to go to someone's house to offer condolences, ask for warmth, and chat about family life. As a righteous gentleman, Uncle Liu Huang thought that the security of this troubled era was a huge problem, and personally arranged the safety of the families of the county guards. In addition, the family members are emotionally stable.

If someone misunderstands, it's the person's own problem. The gentleman is frank, how can Uncle Liu Huang naturally not worry about other misunderstandings.

The guards of various counties also misunderstood. Their misunderstanding is deep!

Liu Bei is using their family to threaten them. This is the era of filial piety, and many guards are confused when they hear that their family members are held by Liu Bei. Some of the defenders simply chose to relent. Everything about them is based on their own families. If they don't have a family, no matter how well they struggle, what's the good thing? The guards of Wenshan County, Shu County, and Guanghan County all chose the benevolent and righteous Uncle Liu Huang and threw themselves into the glorious embrace of Uncle Liu Huang.

In this way, Liu Bei was subordinated to the three counties. Liu Bei immediately rewarded the three newly joined county guards, asking them to stand by and guard the place.

Liu Bei now attaches great importance to military generals, and Liu Bei has no heart to pay attention to local civil officials now. Xu Shu also suggested that Liu Bei should not favor one over the other, so as not to chill the civil officials. Liu Bei knows the importance of it, and the local generals are the strength that Liu Bei needs the most, and in Yizhou, you can stabilize the situation only if you have military power. As for the civil officials, Liu Bei felt that it didn't matter, and when the overall situation was decided, it would be good to compensate these literati.

After so many years, Liu Bei knows that holding a knife in his hand is the truth of the master.

Liu Bei's current strength already has five counties, and he has a foothold in Yizhou.

And when Liu Bei thought that the guards of other counties would follow in the footsteps of the previous three guards, the actions of some other counties made Liu Bei dumbfounded.

The person in charge of Zitong County is Taishou Fu Yi, and the guard general is an incompetent person. Liu Bei's heavy martial arts and light text annoyed Fu Yi, causing Fu Yi to openly oppose Liu Bei. If it weren't for Fu Yi's soldiers and horses to guard against Hanzhong County, it would be possible to launch an attack on Chengdu at this time.

The guards of Wenshan County and Yinping County took an indifferent attitude towards all of Liu Bei's documents, and did not express their position, choosing to remain silent.

This is already better for Liu Bei.

What shocked Liu Bei the most was Pang Xi, the guard of Qianwei County.

Liu Bei sent someone over to convey the decree, and Pang Xi slaughtered the people sent by Liu Bei without saying a word, and sent the head and Pang Xi's own letter to Liu Bei to Chengdu.

Pang Xi scolded Liu Bei in the letter, so angry that Liu Bei wanted to kill Pang Xi's family to vent his anger.

If Pang Xi made such a move, wasn't he afraid that his family would suffer Liu Bei's revenge?

Pang Xi is really not afraid! On the contrary, he is still looking forward to it.

Those who become big things are not informal, if they are bound by their families, Pang Xi will do something big. In the past, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, his parents, wives and children were all caught by Xiang Yu, and he didn't say the shocking words of "share my share".

The wife and concubine are gone, there is nothing to do, isn't there a saying that the old will not go, and the new will not come. The yellow-faced woman at home, Pang Xi has long wanted to take a break, if Liu Bei does it, Pang Xi is also grateful to him for saving Pang Xi the effort of rescuing his wife. It's not a big deal if the son is gone, Pang Xi is still young and can have a few more. With his parents gone, Pang Xi can also save a lot of funeral expenses, which can be done. As for what uncles and brothers, Pang Xi doesn't care even more, these messy relatives, Pang Xi is too lazy to care.

Pang Xi can always take Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, as an example, and he has learned a lot.

For Pang Xi's shameless behavior, Liu Bei was helpless. Liu Bei used to be shameless, but if he was in Pang Xi's position, he would do the same, and he would do it more thoroughly. It's a pity, now Liu Bei's identity is different, and his thoughts are different, Pang Xi's actions made Liu Bei feel angry, Liu Bei really couldn't help Pang Xi.

To vent his anger on Pang Xi's family, Liu Bei wanted to do this. But after killing, is there anything useful besides a momentary refreshment? Not at all!

It also causes concern for others.

So Liu Bei endured it, and after he destroyed the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su, he would break Pang Xi's body into ten thousand pieces.

At present, it seems that Liu Bei's situation is very ideal, the combined army of Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, and Zhang Su has no way to continue to march for the time being, and Liu Bei can have a stable life to live.
