Pound's 5,000 men were finally assembled.

But it is simply impossible to make trouble for Liu Bei with these 5,000 soldiers and horses alone.

Before you know it, a month has passed. During this month, there was not much fighting in the world. There was only a small friction between Jiangdong and the Shenmu court, which could be regarded as an inherent temptation between the two sides.

The weirdest thing is the relationship between Yizhou and the Shenwu court.

Generally speaking, after the Liu army in Jingzhou was repulsed, with the style of Emperor Shenwu, he would definitely send a large army to regain his face. To everyone's surprise, the Shenwu Imperial Court did not move at all.

This anomaly makes many people feel abnormal.

Liu Bei was also worried, wondering if Liu Yu had any bad water brewing, so he waited for the attack.

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and Liu Bei had to come out of the gentle countryside and gather his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Yes, during this time, Liu Bei was indulgent, and he needed a beautiful woman to sleep every night. Yizhou is the land of abundance, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and beautiful women are endless. If Liu Bei hadn't been calm-hearted, he might have been addicted to wine like Liu Zhang before.

got Liu Bei's summoning order, and after a while, all Liu Bei's subordinates in Chengdu City came one by one.

After the people gathered, Liu Bei had a worried look on his face, and said softly: "Everyone, I have been quite uneasy recently. Liu Yu didn't take any action against Yizhou for a month. Can you break it down for me? ”

Xu Shu and other Liu Bei's loyal subordinates also had the same idea as Liu Bei.

Liao, who had always wanted to become Liu Bei's most trusted person again, immediately came out and said: "What the lord said is very true. I thought that Liu Yu had always been cunning, and at this time, he would definitely calculate my Yizhou, and the lord had to guard against it. ”

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded frequently.

Sun Qian came out and said: "Lord, Liu Yu's heart is immortal. Humble believes that our army should strengthen its armaments and take the initiative to attack! ”

"Take the initiative?" Liu Bei frowned a little at Sun Qian's suggestion.

It's not just Liao Li who wants to take the throne, Sun Gan also wants to, so he continued: "My lord, Yizhou is the land of Gaozu Longxing, and the land is dangerous and the country is solid. But the potential is still insufficient. If the lord is in favor of the state and holds the land of Jingzhou or Guanzhong, he can look at the world and compete with Liu Yu. ”

Competing with Liu Yu made Liu Bei's heart surge, but he was fantasizing about this all the time.

Before Liu Bei had time to fantasize more, Fa Zheng sarcastically said to Sun Gan: "Lord Sun, you let the lord take the initiative to attack, I don't know if you will attack Guanzhong or Hanzhong?" What is the number of troops required? Who is handsome? How long can it take? Lord Sun said so conclusively, he must have already had a comprehensive plan. Please elaborate! Let me wait for a long time to learn. ”

"This? I just want to make suggestions below, and you can put forward more suggestions to improve it. "Sun Qian obviously didn't have a perfect plan.

The Fa Zheng said angrily on the spot: "The lord is now worried about tracking, but you are on Chen Advice, but you are not confident. If the lord obeys your plan, will he not be in chaos! Sun Gongyou, my law filial piety is wrong about you. ”

No one expected that Fa Zheng would burst out on the spot, pointing at Sun Gan's nose and scolding. Sun Gan was scolded by Fa Zheng and was speechless, what Fa Zheng said was very right, Sun Gan did not have a perfect plan would indeed harm Liu Bei.

At this time, Xu Shu opened his mouth and said, "Silence! Lord, again! What kind of system is it to be so noisy! ”

With Liu Bei's first person to speak, Fa Zheng immediately sat back.

Sun Qian looked at Xu Shu with a little gratitude. It's just that this time Sun Gan's old face is lost.

Liao Li smiled secretly on the side, not everyone can learn from him, Sun Qian seems to be a little tender.

Liu Bei, who was sitting on the main seat, found that there were only a few people on the scene who were relatively calm, Xu Shu, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, so he asked: "What do the three of you think, such as Junshi, Ziqiao, Xiaozhi, and others?" ”

Of course, Xu Shu, Zhang Song, and Fa Zheng knew that Liu Bei was not asking about taking the initiative to send troops, but that the Shenwu Imperial Court had not taken action against Yizhou now.

"Lord, the enemy will not move, and it will be of great benefit to the lord!" Fa Zheng said.

Xu Shu echoed Fa Zheng's words and said, "Lord, even if Liu Yu has a conspiracy and tricks, what is the lord afraid of? There are already 70,000 soldiers available under the lord's command. Yizhou checkpoints are all places that cannot be opened, even if Liu Yu gathers an army of millions, can he step into my Yizhou half a step? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, but he forgot about it. Liu Bei has such worries, and he also blames himself. All along, Liu Bei has been in a state of extreme inferiority, and he is also in the shadow of being crushed by Liu Yu.

Liu Bei felt that he couldn't be too pessimistic sometimes, and he needed to cheer up, otherwise how would he compete with Liu Yu for dominance in the future.

Zhang Song stood up and said: "Lord, Liu Yu didn't send troops to Yizhou, because he had his difficulties. ”

"Oh? What is Ziqiao's opinion? Liu Bei suddenly became interested, and what he liked to hear most was the enemy's bad words and the predicament he was in.

"Before the foreign invasion, Liu Yu had just pacified Cao Cao, and he was in a life-and-death situation. Although this move won great fame, it could make Liu Yu's troops weak and empty of food and grass. According to intelligence, Liu Yu suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the aliens. Nowadays, the troops in various parts of the Central Plains are weak, and the treasury is empty. Jingzhou is even recruiting troops in order to deter Yizhou and Jiangdong in terms of troops. Liu Yu looks strong, but in fact, it is extremely difficult to send troops again. Zhang Song kept fooling Liu Bei, telling Liu Yu how unbearable he was.

"Really?" The joy on Liu Bei's face couldn't be hidden.

Zhang Song could hear what Liu Bei meant, and it seemed that Liu Bei had the idea of sending troops, which was a great disadvantage to Liu Yu's plan. Zhang Song couldn't sabotage Liu Yu's plan, so he explained: "The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen. Liu Yu seems to be weak, but he has deployed heavy troops in Hanzhong and Jingzhou to contain my Yizhou. If the lord wants to send troops, there must be two major elements! ”

"In detail." Liu Bei understood that Zhang Song was unwilling to let him send troops, but he also wanted to know what strength he had to achieve to be able to counterattack Liu Yu.

Zhang Songjie said: "There are 70,000 troops under the command of the lord, but in front of Liu Yu's troops, there are really not many. In my opinion, the main prince should have 200,000 troops, and he will definitely go north to Guanzhong and east to Jingzhou! ”

200,000 troops. Liu Bei has never led so many soldiers and horses in his life.

Zhang Song was fooling Liu Bei, but many of his words were true. Liu Bei's own IQ is not low, and with the existence of Xu Shu and others, Zhang Song can't fool Liu Bei like Liu Zhang.

In fact, judging from the current situation, Yizhou does need 200,000 troops if it wants to send troops to the Central Plains. Without 200,000 troops, Liu Bei would not be able to hold it even if he rushed out of Yizhou and occupied a territory.

"Another element is the alliance with Jiangdong Sun Ce. If Jiangdong doesn't make a move, then I, Yizhou, will face Liu Yu's troops alone. It is very bad for the lord. Therefore, I think that if the lord wants to send troops, he must let Sun Ce of Jiangdong precede my Yizhou or send troops at the same time! ”

Xu Shu recognized Zhang Song's opinion very much, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, what Ziqiao said is very true! ”

Liu Bei was in a dilemma. These 200,000 troops are easy to say, but the big deal is to pull the strong ding. In history, Liu Bei did just that, in order to recapture Jiangling, which was occupied by Jiangdong, Liu Bei ascended the throne and became emperor, and raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to rush to Jingzhou. It was huge. However, he was defeated by Lu Xun, and finally died in the White Emperor City. Liu Bei exhausted all the potential of Yizhou at that time, which also led to the situation that Shu Han had to attack and defend.

But it will be very difficult for Koto to do it first or at the same time. Think about it from another perspective, if Liu Bei were Sun Ce, how could he first start to drag the troops for others, and it was best to wait for the allies and enemies to fight to the death, so as to maximize the benefits.

"Strategist, where are they now?" At this time, Liu Bei remembered that Yi and Fu Shiren had already left for Jiangdong.

"Back to the lord, they have sent back the letter, and they have now reached the Lingling realm. Jingzhou is strictly investigating, and they will ferry to Changsha as soon as possible, and then to Jiangdong. Xu Shu reported the news of Iraq.

This news was naturally forged by Kou Feng. Xu Shu's attainments in calligraphy are not high, and he did not see the authenticity of it.

Knowing this, Liu Bei pondered for a while and knew what he should do. Now that there is no war, it just gives Liu Bei the opportunity to develop his strength. Conscription, stockpiling food, building weapons, all the work that can be used for world domination needs to be done. To make a move, strength is the biggest premise.

The expedition will be talked about after the Iraqi nationality arrived in Jiangdong and discussed with Sun Ce that the joint army was completed.

"Listening to your words, my heart is very peaceful! With you here, what am I afraid of Liu Bei? Liu Bei reluctantly regained the face he had lost because of his nervous mistakes.

"I am willing to die in the service of the Lord! The lord is sitting in Yizhou, which is a blessing for us. Liao Li immediately led people out to flatter Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was very happy when he heard this, he really liked Liao Li's way of speaking, and he was very comfortable to listen to.

"This Liao Gongyuan is really dead!" Xu Shu felt disgusted in his heart that Liao Li always flattered Liu Bei, but it was difficult to say it clearly.

Just when Liu Bei blamed himself for thinking too much, a knight hurriedly ran in, knelt in front of the hall door, held a piece of information in his hand and said, "Report to the lord!" Yongchang County Yonghong killed the past Taishou of the Lord Gong faction, and now he has established himself as Yongchang Taishou! Gather minions, and the combined force reaches 50,000. ”

"What! Yonghong is self-reliant?! Liu Bei was stunned, there was no external trouble, but there was an internal trouble, God was joking Liu Bei.

Liao Li hurriedly went to get the information and respectfully sent it to Liu Bei's hands.

Yonghong was originally a descendant of Yongya, a fellow villager of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. This Yongya betrayed Liu Bang several times, but repeatedly returned to Liu Bang's side at critical moments. Liu Bang was about to kill Yongya a long time ago, but he remembered his merits and was a fellow countryman, so he sent him to a remote corner of Yizhou.

didn't expect Yongya to betray Liu Zhang, and now it's Yonghong's turn to betray Liu Bei.

After knowing the historical grievances between the Liu family and the Yong family, many people did not dare to speak out, this is the legendary enemy.

Whether the wronged family is wronged or not is no longer a question for Liu Bei to consider. Yonghong was originally dishonest, as a powerful and military general on the Yizhou side, he has always been disobedient to Liu Zhang's management. It's the first time I've ever killed Taishou and become self-reliant.

It was even more when Liu Bei thought that Yizhou was stable, which was simply a slap in the face to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei endured his anger and did not explode, patiently read the information, and then handed it to Xu Shu beside him.

Xu Shu didn't have any expression after reading it, but careful people could see that there was a faint sadness between Xu Shu's eyebrows.

Some are worried, others are happy. For example, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, the two two second and fifth boys lurking under Liu Bei.

Yonghong originally wanted to take refuge in Liu Bei, just like he used to obey Liu Zhang on the surface, and continue to be his soil emperor. It's just that someone didn't let Yonghong get his wish, and quietly provoked the relationship between Yonghong and the Taishou sent by Liu Bei in secret.

Zhang Song knows Yonghong's temper, greed and lust, and forgetfulness of profit, as long as this kind of person has enough benefits, he will be tricked. And the Taishou sent by Liu Bei in the past also looked for death. If you are idle, you have to investigate what unjust cases and people are angry, and say what you want to repay Liu Bei for his kindness. Yongchang County is said to be under the rule of Yizhou, but part of it is within the strength of the Yonghong family, and the rest is occupied by the Southern Barbarians. What this Taishou can govern is the place within the sphere of influence of Yonghong. The unjust case here or something, it wasn't Yonghong's family who did it. Investigating the unjust case is indignant, doesn't it mean that the Yonghong family will be punished?

Zhang Song was keenly aware of this, and secretly hinted that this Taishou was sent by Liu Bei to clean up Yonghong, and if Yonghong didn't wake up, he would become someone else's prisoner.

It was up to Zhang Song to calculate Yonghong, and Yonghong soon killed the Taishou sent by Liu Bei according to Zhang Song's plan.

is even more non-stop, and directly became the Taishou of Yongchang County.

Yonghong was able to dominate one side in Yongchang County, in addition to his ancestral title, there was also a good relationship between Yonghong and the Nanban, and several barbarian kings of the Nanban were also commensurate with the Yonghong brothers.

After Yonghong established himself as a guard, the barbarian king Gao Ding and others led his troops to come, and they called it to help. In fact, I came to share a piece of Yonghong's pie. Yonghong doesn't care. He himself is the Taishou, Liu Bei will definitely send troops over, with the barbarians, the troops will not suffer so much.

And Yonghong even thinks that Liu Bei, a villain, can sit in the position of Yizhou Mu, he Yonghong is a hero anyway, why can't he sit?

Yonghong himself thought that if his ancestors worked hard, maybe this country would be their surname Yong.

The surname Yong can't be bullied by the surname Liu all the time. What kind of green onion is he Liu Bei!
