"Haha, Liu Xuande really killed himself! Actually let filial piety to you supervise Haose! ”

In the secret room of Fazheng's house, Zhang Song made a mockery of Liu Bei.

Fa Zheng and Cao Bi both smiled knowingly.

In fact, so many words Cao Bi said in front of Liu Bei were taught by Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, and Cao Bi's flexible use fooled Liu Bei.

"Liu Xuande is also very difficult, and there are few talents around him who can be used. If you weren't worried about destroying Yizhou and couldn't explain it to Your Majesty, you would have calculated Liu Bei to death early next morning! Fa Zheng said gloomily.

Cao Bi said: "The two adults, the younger one thinks that Liu Bei is not so easy to deal with. There is still a capable person like Xu Yuanzhi under his hands, if one is not good, we will be in trouble. ”

Cao Bi has long been a person in the "dark department", and he has some information about Liu Bei in his hand, and he also knows that Xu Shu's name is praised even by His Majesty today, who is far away in Luoyang. For such capable people, the "dark part" is the focus of.

"Xu Yuanzhi is very powerful! But now he is worried about Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's rebellion. We can't return to Chengdu in a short period of time, and we have a certain amount of time to operate. Zhang Song said.

"So what do the two adults have to tell the little one?" Cao Bi asked.

"Lord Cao, in my opinion, Lord Cao can plan quietly, and the two of us will do our best to help Lord Cao, which will definitely make Liu Bei regret it." Fa Zheng said affirmatively.

"However, Lord Cao, you must always be prepared. Once discovered by Xu Shu and others, then Master Cao, you will be in danger. Zhang Song said suggestively.

Zhang Song's meaning was to let Cao Bi be ready to flee for his life at all times, lest the matter be exposed, and finally be poisoned by Liu Bei.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the little one has already been prepared." Where did Cao Bi use Zhang Song's suggestion, the "dark department" had already been prepared. If you really can't escape, according to the rules of the "dark department", of course, you will kill yourself. After Cao Bi joined the "Dark Department", he knew that his fate might be like this one day, and he had already arranged the future.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng both knew that Cao Bi was not an ordinary person, and they didn't dare to despise Cao Bi, he was able to mix so well in Chengdu City, and he was not discovered by others about his identity as a meticulous worker, he was simply a capable person. Even if it was the eyesight of Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, if Cao Bi didn't take the initiative to come to them, they really couldn't recognize them.

There was nothing important to do next, so Cao Bi found a reason to leave and began his actions.

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song continued to discuss in the secret room.

"Ziqiao, do you think this Cao Bi can be trusted?" Fa Zheng was very worried about whether Cao Bi could perfectly realize his plan.

Zhang Song said with certainty: "People can't look good, Cao Bi's ability is not as simple as it seems. ”

Fa Zheng's eyes narrowed, what he hated most was the kind of person who didn't know the depth and was very dangerous. And Cao Bi is the person that Fa Zheng is afraid of.

Indeed, when Cao Bi returned home, he recorded all the matters he had discussed with Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, and let his henchmen quietly send them out of Yizhou.

Since Zhang Song and Fa Zheng became Liu Yu's courtiers and specialized in Yizhou, Liu Yu let the "dark department" secretly monitor the every move of Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.

This task fell on Cao Bi.

After Cao Bi finished his work, he lay on his bed very tired.

Back then, he was caught in Dongguan County, Xuzhou, but fortunately he was not killed. By chance, he joined the "Dark Department" and became a spy, and was stationed in Yizhou all year round.

In Yizhou, Cao Bi worries every day that his true identity will be discovered and then killed. Before the locals of Yizhou, he had to greet him with a smile again. After staying in Yizhou for a long time, Cao Bi also knew many people, but he didn't have a single confidant friend. Even if he was under his command in Yizhou, he was worried that he would not be sold.

It is conceivable how Cao Bi survived under such pressure.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Cao Bi uses his favorite profession as a cover, which can be regarded as a benefit.

This kind of life is both frightening, exciting and fulfilling, which makes Cao Bi want to stop.

After resting for a while, Cao Bi cheered up again, and he was about to start the next work. Cao Bi did not forget that he and Liu Bei had said that he would give him some local specialties. A large box full of "native products" was quietly sent to Liu Bei's state residence from the back door of Cao Bi's mansion in the dead of night.

As for whether Liu Bei is satisfied with these "native products", it is another matter.

Cao Bi's paper and book business was still going on, and the people who had spread the news before were stunned. They didn't expect that Liu Bei would not deal with Cao Bi at all. And Cao Bi's revenge on them also began. Some people who had no backing behind them were retaliated against by Cao Bi. Don't underestimate Cao Bi's power, he knows who deliberately spread the news. For others, Cao Bi chose to ignore them. After all, now is not the time to get serious, and there are always some backers behind them.

Few of the people who can mix in the upper class are brain-dead. Almost all the families in Yizhou can see that Cao Bi has such courage, and there must be a backer behind him. Now that the people of Chengdu know that Cao Bi is selling things smuggled from the Central Plains, then the government also knows. How could Liu Bei, as a state pastor, not know?

After reasoning like this, everyone knew that the backer behind Cao Bi was Liu Bei.

And the next situation also confirmed everyone's guesses.

Cao Bi began to build in a valley outside Chengdu, which according to what appeared to be a workshop. But no one knows what it is.

What is even more frightening is that Fa Zheng actually took the soldiers and horses to inspect the place where Cao Bi was building a large number of buildings.

Fa Zheng was a celebrity in front of Liu Bei at this time, and he personally dispatched it, doesn't it mean that this is what Liu Bei meant?

If you can't even see this, then the family in Yizhou won't have to survive for so long.

With Liu Bei's support, then Cao Bi is a person who cannot be provoked, at least one day when Liu Bei is in Yizhou, the family in Yizhou cannot offend Cao Bi.

After Liu Bei learned that Cao Bi had started construction, he was very satisfied with Cao Bi's loyalty, and such efficiency was the one who did great things. In addition, the "native products" sent by Cao Bi really made Liu Bei very satisfied, and Liu Bei's impression of Cao Bi kept rising.

Liu Bei didn't know if he was calculated.

Cao Bi's new workshop is not at all to develop the art of making paper, but to hide people's eyes. The craftsmen in the workshop, where are the craftsmen, all of them are Liu Jun soldiers who secretly lurked from Hanzhong.

These Liu soldiers are Huang Xu's soldiers and horses, and this action is part of Liu Yu's instructions to Huang Xu's holy decree.

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song agreed, this workshop can accommodate one or two hundred people, and at a critical moment, these two hundred Liu Jun soldiers can take Liu Bei's life.

When Fa Zheng and others were calculating Liu Bei's life, Liu Bei's life began to be difficult.

Xu Shu led the Yizhou army and the combined army led by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to exterminate Liu Bei fought again. The two parties were constantly at a stalemate before, but Xu Shu stabilized the situation.

But this time, Xu Shu was plotted by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan.

The war was like this, Xu Shu seized a rare opportunity and prepared to burn down the granary of Liu Bei's combined army.

Seeing that it was about to succeed, I don't know where the news leaked, and a perfect sneak attack battle turned into an actual confrontation between the two armies. The soldiers and horses of the two sides fought each other on a plain in Ba County.

And the originally good plan has changed, resulting in a very high morale of the combined army to exterminate Liu Bei. The Yizhou army, which had a large number of people, was actually pressed and beaten.

It's not that Xu Shu doesn't work hard, but the situation has become too fast. In addition, the morale of the Yizhou army during this period of time has dropped a lot, and they were successfully counterattacked by Zhang Ren.

The Yizhou army, led by Xu Shu, was finally defeated and retreated, losing several cities in a row.

If it weren't for Xu Shuzhi's slightly higher intelligence, he would have prevented himself from miscalculating a long time ago, made corresponding preparations, and just stabilized the situation of defeat and retreat. Otherwise, it is possible to exterminate the anti-Liu Bei coalition army and directly kill Chengdu City.

However, the result of this battle was very bad for the Yizhou army led by Liu Bei.

Suppress Liu Bei's combined army Because of this victory, the territory controlled by Liu Bei broke through two counties and occupied two-thirds of the city of Ba County. The Ba County guard was killed in battle, and the Ba County Tai Shou Yi fled in embarrassment.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's expectations for the war became high, they knew that this victory was timely, and the morale of their own people was greatly improved.

The high morale of the enemy is bad news for Liu Bei.

Except for the guards of Dongguanghan County and the guards of Bazhou County who chose to surrender to Liu Bei, the other guards were all in a semi-divided state, ostensibly supporting the integrity of Yizhou, but actually guarding their own one-third of an acre, in front of the soil emperor, in a wait-and-see state, and their attitude was extremely ambiguous.

If the guards of these counties all chose to surrender to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not have to leave half of his troops to defend Chengdu. If Liu Bei came out of the nest, how could Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have a little bit of soldiers and horses to make a fuss at this time.

This defeat, for Liu Bei, in addition to the loss of troops, cities, grain and grass, the most serious thing is that the other guards slowly lost their fear of Liu Bei.

In China, which has inherited thousands of civilizations, there is a saying that it is called pulling a hair and moving the whole body, and Liu Bei is out of this situation at this time.

Due to the defeat of the Yizhou army led by Liu Bei, the defenders of the rest of the counties began to move, and secretly mobilized troops and horses.

This can make Liu Bei very busy, he asked Wei Yan to mobilize troops and horses, in order to show that his military is strong, trying to stabilize the situation, and the other is to gather his advisers to discuss countermeasures.

As a military advisor, even if he was not in Chengdu, he also sent a letter to Liu Bei, hoping that Liu Bei would stabilize the other guards first, as long as he was given a little more time, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around.

Liu Bei believes in Xu Shu, and what he needs most at present is to stabilize, otherwise the overall situation will be rotten.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is urgent now, can you wait for a good countermeasure!?" Liu Bei seemed calm, but he was actually anxious in his heart.

Sun Qian was the first to come out and said: "My lord, I think that the best way to stabilize these restless people is to lure them with profit. The lord may reward him with his official position, and give him money and food, so that he may have peace of mind. When Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's generation are defeated, it is not too late for the lord to try something else. ”

Liu Bei thinks it makes sense, everyone likes power and money, if it doesn't work, you can send more beauties.

The reward for official positions is just a matter of Liu Bei's words, but Liu Bei is a little hesitant to reward money and food.

In the past, Chengdu's treasury was filled with a big vacancy because of corruption and bribery by officials, and now I don't know if this vacancy has been filled.

Liu Bei looked at Fa Zheng, who was in charge of grain and grass.

Fa Zheng knew what Liu Bei meant from when Sun Qian said this, so he said: "Back to the lord, the treasury is now full of grain and grass, but this coin has been used a lot because of the purchase of private grain to fill the vacancy some time ago, but it is a little nervous. If it is used to reward the county guards, it is really impossible to take so much of the humble position. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, the whole person was not good, and the dignified Yizhou Mu couldn't even get the money from the reward?

The rest of the people were all pity, and they all complained that Liao Li was too greedy before, which led to the problem now.

Liu Bei also remembered that this matter was caused by Liao Li, and now he has almost no good impression of Liao Li.

Liao Li was also shot while lying down!

Liu Bei has a way in his heart, but it is difficult for him to say it as the lord.

I saw Zhang Song stand up and say: "Lord, there are still wealthy businessmen in Chengdu, maybe you can let them donate!" ”

"Donate?" Liu Bei asked suspiciously.

"My lord, when Emperor Xiaowu went out to conquer the Xiongnu, he suffered from the emptiness of the treasury, and some ministers suggested donating to the rich people in Luoyang. At that time, the situation was extraordinary, Emperor Xiaowu was able to defeat the Xiongnu, and the people who donated contributed a lot. And now the situation of the lord is not as good as that of Emperor Xiaowu, but it is also restrained. Why not follow the example of Emperor Xiaowu to solve today's dilemma? Zhang Song quoted the scriptures and said.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, this is a good way. Yizhou is rich, and there are so many rich people, especially those families and businessmen, who take out a little bit one by one, which is enough for Liu Bei.

"But if they don't want to?" Sun Qian also thought of a possibility.

Fa Zheng said coldly: "The lord is the lord of Yizhou, if they don't want to, it is not obeying the lord's decree." Master Sun, you can rest assured, you will definitely let them know what the difference between dignity and inferiority is! ”

As long as everyone knows that Fa Zheng is looking for an opportunity to deal with those who have offended him before.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Ziqiao, you will be responsible for this matter." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Song said with a smile.
