Liu Bei of Yizhou had no idea that Liu Yu of Luoyang had already begun to use troops against him.

In order to be able to give Liu Bei a fatal blow, the Shenwu Imperial Court blocked the news of this expedition.

There is no announcement to the world, and it is strictly forbidden for idle people to enter and exit the various checkpoints in Yizhou. Roads in dangerous places were blocked. It may not be possible to block the message completely, but it can always be delayed for a while.

Today's Liu Bei has been disturbed by a lot of bad things in Yizhou.

Liu Bei didn't expect that because of Kou Feng's matter, the entire Yizhou would be so turbulent. Even if he couldn't argue, Liu Bei still insisted that Kou Feng was a fake, and his baby son Liu Feng had already been killed by Liu Xian.

Whether you believe it or not, Liu Bei believes it anyway.

Kou Feng is not dead, that is, there is a great conspiracy in this.

A desolation emerged from his heart, and Liu Bei absolutely believed that there was a spy inside him.

Fa is the person who did it, Xu Shu is the person who checks, and the results of the two are the same. In other words, either there is no problem with either of them, or there is a problem with both of them.

This is something Liu Bei couldn't figure out. Xu Shu has followed Liu Bei for so many years, he should not betray himself, and Xu Shu has no reason to betray. Fa Zheng's words were a little suspicious, but with Xu Shu as a backhand check, he did poison Kou Feng. In this case, Fa Zheng should have cleared the suspicion.

To be able to do such a thing right under your nose is definitely a master. With such a person as his enemy, Liu Bei had to be cautious, and by the way, he doubled his escort strength. Liu Bei also strengthened the investigation and made sure to find out.

After Kou Feng, Pang De, and Gao Shun occupied Fuling City, they did not launch more attacks, but chose a steady strategy.

First, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan came forward to appease the soldiers and civilians in Fuling City. And in the name of the two of them, they sent a message to other cities in Fuling County, hoping that they could break away from Liu Bei's clutches and throw themselves into the arms of the imperial court.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have a high reputation in Yizhou, and with the two of them coming forward, the effect is really too great. The military and civilians of Fuling County don't know Liu Bei, and they definitely don't know Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. The two of them have paid too much for Yizhou, and many people still remember them when they get to the next milk. Even when they all joined the court, the others understood what their choice was.

The plan of Gao Shun and others was to stabilize their foothold in Fuling County, ensure contact with Jingzhou's grain routes and troops, and start contact with Yonghong in Yongchang County to deal with the common enemy Liu Bei.

At the same time, Kou Feng did not forget to let people send Liu Bei news about Yi and Fu Shiren, which was naturally fake news.

Doing a full set of dramas, Kou Feng naturally would not be stingy with such a little effort.

Anything that can make Liu Bei suffer and be depressed, Kou Feng will definitely do it. His hatred for Liu Bei has exceeded imagination.

Yonghong of Yongchang County was defeated by Wei Yan, and after Xu Shu was repelled by Gao Shun and that Kou Feng, the whole person seemed to be encouraged.

What others can do, he can also do.

As soon as his brain was pumped, Yonghong came to a place where he was put to death and reborn! If you fail, you can only die, so it's better to fight now.

Wei Yan's extermination of Yonghong during this period of time made Yonghong's morale completely gone, and the victory was in his hands. In time, Yonghong's demise is a certainty.

But God just made a little joke on Wei Yan. The arrogant army will be defeated, which is Wei Yan's current situation. The soldiers under his command, when they were stationed in the field overnight, boldly reduced the number of night vigils, and the soldiers believed that Yonghong was already a lost dog, and they didn't have the strength to bite back. It was such a small mistake that was accurately dragged by Yonghong.

Yonghong took the last troops and fought viciously with Wei Yan, but Wei Yan was actually beaten helplessly. For a time, Liu Beijun suffered heavy casualties. Wei Yan had to retreat immediately in order to have a follow-up effect.

Yonghong originally wanted to hunt down Wei Yan. But his soldiers quit. It's said that it's a desperate effort, even if it's a victory, it's a miserable victory. Yonghong's troops also suffered serious losses. The soldiers could no longer pursue Wei Yan.

Catching up, it is possible to encounter Wei Yan's counter-killing, Yonghong felt that this was very unwise, and ordered the soldiers to occupy Yongchang City and pause for repairs.

Yonghong was not stupid, he immediately sent someone to contact Kou Feng, ready to unite with him and carve up the entire Yizhou. Yonghong also knew the truth that eggs could not be put in one basket, and he also sent people to contact more Nanban kings and ask them to come to help with him. There is nothing beneficial, Yonghong knows that these Nanban kings will not come, so he promises the Nanban people that they can give them Yongchang County in return.

Giving up the land of the Han people to the barbarians is simply the act of traitors.

Yonghong has no psychological burden in this regard, they have not dealt with the Han since their ancestors, and they will be traitors. Besides, if you take the whole of Yizhou, what is Yongchang County?

The war on both sides did not end well, which led to the situation in Yizhou starting to turmoil again.

In addition, the rumors in Chengdu City are intensifying, and Liu Bei has to use high-pressure means to suppress them. Anyone who dared to talk about Kou Feng would be arrested as a spy and put in prison.

For a time, the prisons in Chengdu began to be overcrowded. Liu Bei's reputation dropped a lot in an instant.

The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and Liu Bei seems to have forgotten such a simple truth. How could Liu Xuande, a generation of heroes, forget such a truth, but he had to do it, otherwise the situation would continue to develop, and Liu Bei would not have to sit firmly in this Yizhou.

Liu Bei engaged in white terror, and it was not that no one reminded him. Sun Qian and the others kept admonishing, hoping that Liu Bei could stop such a move.

However, Liu Bei restrained them with just one sentence. Is there any other way to stop the rumors?

Sun Qian and the others are also helpless, if there is a way, they don't have to let the rumors continue to expand.

The fundamental reason is that Liu Bei did something immoral, and this incident broke out, making it completely impossible to justify.

The only thing that could make Liu Bei happy was that he received news from Yi and Fu Shiren, saying that they had arrived in Jiangdong and reached a joint military ally with Jiangdong to jointly defend against Liu Yu.

With such a reply, Liu Bei was really happy, only Sun Ce of Jiangdong could make a move at a critical time, share the strength of the Shenwu Imperial Court, and even force the Shenwu Imperial Court to withdraw its troops to defend Jiangdong. He Liu Bei can take advantage of this advantage and have a chance to breathe.

It's a pity that this news is fake.

The soldiers and horses led by Wei Yan and Xu Shu had already accounted for more than half of Liu Bei's troops. The emptiness of the army shook Liu Bei's foundation in Yizhou.

Without soldiers with knives to suppress the people, how could Liu Bei implement all his policies?

In a word, conscription, big conscription!

Yizhou has a large population, and there are really a lot of young and strong people, all of whom are good seedlings to be soldiers. As long as Liu Bei is ruthless, it will not be a problem to pull up tens of thousands of strong men to fill the army.

Liu Bei sent Sun Gan, who was very eloquent, to be in charge of conscription. Liu Bei felt that he should be able to recruit a lot of troops, at least 20,000.

Reality gave Liu Bei a big slap, and Sun Gan, who was in charge of conscription, replied to Liu Bei that his conscription work had encountered great difficulties, and the people were almost not interested in joining the army.

"What! Not many people join the army? Liu Bei was very dissatisfied with Sun Gan's ability.

"The subordinates are incompetent!" Sun Gan's face was bitter, and he did not complete Liu Bei's order, proving his incompetence.

Liu Bei was very depressed. Intelligence shows that Kou Feng of Fuling County has received the support of Gao Shun, and grain, grass, equipment, weapons, and troops are pouring in from Jingzhou. Xu Shu now took control of Hanping City, holding this important city leading to the interior of Yizhou. If you want to beat Kou Feng and Gao Shun out, it is impossible to achieve it with Xu Shu's current strength. At the same time, all the county towns of Fuling County began to loosen, and there was a tendency to surrender to Kou Feng and Gao Shun.

At this time, what Liu Bei needed most was troops.

"Can't I even recruit 10,000 troops in Yizhou?" Liu Bei's whole person was empty.

The rest of the people stopped talking.

Those who are incapable are afraid to speak. He is a man who is capable, but he is not willing to speak.

For example, Zhang Song is.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Song and looked at Wu Yi. One is the head snake of Yizhou, and the other is Liu Bei's brother-in-law.

Zhang Song knew that Liu Bei would find him, so he prepared his rhetoric and said: "My lord, even if there are newly recruited soldiers, they lack training and go to the battlefield to be a rabble. Therefore, it is proposed that the lord can issue a decree to the clans in Chengdu City, so that they can jointly contribute to Yizhou. ”

"Family?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up.

Indeed, the big families have house slaves and guardians, these people eat and drink well, and in terms of physical fitness, they are much stronger than strong men. And the thugs in the nursing home and the like, they all have a bit of martial arts in their hands, and they can go into battle with a simple training.

At the very least, there is no problem in defending the city.

Zhang Song's suggestion seems to be very good, but he is actually digging a pit for Liu Bei to jump. The family is now waiting and seeing, as long as Liu Bei's decree is issued, then the family will definitely be disgusted.

Even if he obeyed Liu Bei's decree in the end, he would be quite unhappy in his heart. At the critical moment, as long as Zhang Song instigated it, it was a proper thing for Kaesong to surrender.

When Wu Yi heard Zhang Song's words, his face became a little ugly. As Liu Bei's new brother-in-law, he has to worry about Liu Bei to some extent, so heavy bleeding is inevitable.

Originally, I wanted to use Liu Bei's tree to reap benefits, but who knew that the situation in Yizhou was so special now, and the benefits had not been reaped yet, so I needed to bleed first. Wu Yi felt that he was on Liu Bei's thief ship. Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, it was an absolute heartbeat.

blamed himself for having a brain pump at the beginning and marrying Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei is in need, Wu Yi must set some examples.

"My lord! The lowly is willing to donate 500 slaves to drive the lord! Wu Yi began to express his position.

The Wu family has a large number of house slaves, and five hundred house slaves are okay.

Liu Bei was very satisfied, this brother-in-law was quite reliable at the critical moment, so he looked at the others.

Zhang Song didn't need to say much, he was just waiting for such an opportunity, and said: "The lord, he is poor in the next family, but he is also willing to take out two hundred slaves to protect the lord." ”

"Ziqiao's heart, Wu Mingye!" Liu Bei nodded lightly, he knew that Zhang Song had used almost all the people who could be used in the family for him Liu Bei, and then took out two hundred house slaves, which had reached the extreme.

After Zhang Song made a statement, others more or less expressed their positions. But there was one man who didn't donate his slaves. It's not that he's stingy, it's that he doesn't have a house slave at all.

This person, everyone knows who it is at a glance. He is the most troublesome Fazheng and filial piety in the Yizhou family.

There is only one old servant in Fazheng's family, and he doesn't have any house slaves.

Liu Bei knew about Fazheng's situation, so he didn't care.

In just a while, Liu Bei suddenly had more than 2,000 troops. This gave Liu Bei hope.

Liu Bei felt that Zhang Song's suggestion was good, and with a stroke of the pen, he wrote a decree asking all families in Chengdu to donate people for military supplies.

The clans in Chengdu are definitely unwilling, but they know that Liu Bei can do anything, if they don't agree, God knows if Liu Bei will be unfavorable to them.

One by one, the big families were extremely depressed and sent their house slaves to Liu Bei's hands. Coupled with the previous house slaves of Zhang Song and others, Liu Bei actually had 8,000 troops in the end.

These 8,000 troops are simply a send-off in the snow.

Liu Bei divided the 8,000 troops into two and distributed them to Xu Shu and Wei Yan to solve the urgent need.

With the input of these 8,000 troops, the pressure on Xu Shu and Wei Yan will be much less.

At such a critical time, Liao Li, who was sent by Liu Bei to Qianwei County as a guard, surprised everyone and sent 4,000 troops to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was surprised, where did Liao Li find the four thousand troops. Of course, Liao Li also reported his method to Liu Bei.

It turned out that after Liao Li came to Qianwei County, he already understood that Liu Bei would worry about the troops in the future, so he cut first and then played, and recruited troops and horses in Qianwei County. And the situation at the beginning was similar to Sun Qian's situation.

Liao Li is different from Sun Gan, Sun Qian is a gentleman, and he will not embarrass the people. Liao Li is a villain, if he can't achieve his goal, he will try his best to complete it.

Didn't the people want to? Since the recruitment of the open and honest is unsuccessful, then use the forced one.

Liao Li summoned all the county commanders of Qianwei County to the administrative office, and ordered the county commanders to recruit 4,000 soldiers and horses, distribute the number of people according to the size of the county, and those who could not complete the task would lose their official positions and be punished. Liao Li doesn't care about the process, he just wants the result.

So much so that the county commanders of Qianwei County used all their means to get a total of 4,000 troops for Liao Li for their official positions.

In fact, Liao Li's behavior in Qianwei County can be said to be a strong Ding Chongjun.

But Liu Bei was very satisfied, although Liao Li's method was inappropriate, but in general, it still had practical results.

This also laid the foundation for Liu Bei's later reckless military force.
