Shubei, Hanzhong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It has been some time since Liu Bei took Hanzhong. According to the established strategy, Liu Bei had already sent troops and horses to take down several areas around Hanzhong, in order to consolidate his control over Hanzhong.

In addition, Lao Cao's movements in Chang'an and the movements of the Western Regions Coalition Army in Liangzhou are also things that Liu Bei is currently very concerned about. Taking this recent period as an example, Liu Bei's people here have also been arguing endlessly about whether or not to accept the proposal of the Western Regions Alliance.

In the past two days, Liu Bei argued more fiercely here, because the two emergency military information from Chengdu and Jiangling were sent to Liu Bei one after another. Chengdu informed that the large and small tribes in the Nanzhong region had moved, and it was not possible to attack Shudi, so Liu Bei asked Liu Bei to immediately transfer some of the main forces here in Hanzhong back to take precautions; In Jiangling, Zhuge Liang's letter really made Liu Bei's eyelids jump.

Shuzhong and Jingzhou, Liu Bei's two territories, are also the basis for achieving great things in the future, but now they are suddenly threatened militarily, where can Liu Bei sit still? Moreover, there is no shortage of capable people at Liu Bei's hands, so how can he not analyze that Lu Ren did something in this matter?

As a result, this round of controversy revolved around Lu Ren, and there were many people who would scold Lu Ren for being a traitor and actually helping Cao Thief Yunyun at this time. But it's just scolding, smart people know that it's not that simple for Lu Ren to suddenly make a move at this time. Moreover, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng both unanimously pointed out that Lu Ren didn't really want to fight Liu Bei, and there must be other meanings in doing so now, so Nanzhong's army is not here to fight, but just to scare and scare people, so that Liu Bei should not be so anxious.

Then Zhuge Liang's letter was also delivered. Zhuge Liang's letter is different from the military situation, because Lu Ren wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang, indicating to Zhuge Liang that he would do this time. At the same time, in the letter, he repeatedly warned Zhuge Liang about the seriousness of Hu Kou's chaos, and asked Zhuge Liang to stand in the perspective of the overall situation and dissuade Liu Bei from ignoring the world for the sake of temporary interests. If Liu Bei insists on acting recklessly, Lu Ren will also have to turn the current military fear into a formal military operation.

Lu Ren gave Zhuge Liang a general meaning, but as soon as Zhuge Liang handled it, he made a lot of detailed analyses and analyzed many of the priorities. And such a letter was delivered to Liu Bei's hands, and all the people around Liu Bei quieted down.

The righteousness of the world? The immediate benefits? It's a headache.

Everyone understands the righteousness of the world, once Hu Kou takes the opportunity to invade the Central Plains, then all parts of the Central Plains will be in chaos, and those who support the use of Hu Kou's military power will most likely be scolded for several generations in the future, leaving a reputation for eternity.

But if it is pure quenching, only from a military point of view, there is such an opportunity to mess up Lao Cao's territory, which can greatly disperse Lao Cao's power, which will help Liu Bei to break Lao Cao's chaotic territory and gradually encroach on it. At this time, there are many people here in Liu Bei who have such thoughts, that is, to take advantage of the chaos to encroach on Lao Cao's territory one by one, and start to deal with Hu Kou while encroaching. But is it really that simple?

But not to mention how Liu Bei and the strategists argued, in the recent period, Hanzhong has sheltered batches of fleeing people from Xiliang. As mentioned earlier, since the Western Regions Coalition Army captured Liangzhou, it began to burn and loot, so it is natural that a large number of fleeing people will appear. Some fled to Chang'an, while others fled to Hanzhong...... Didn't Ma Chao escape to Hanzhong when he was defeated by Lao Cao?

However, it is precisely because of this batch of refugees that Liu Bei is very hesitant now. Regardless of whether Liu Bei is really so benevolent and compassionate, it is only said that Liu Bei has always loved the people, at least on the surface. Therefore, even if Liu Bei is really very moved by the suggestions put forward by the Western Regions Alliance, the harm caused by the Western Regions Alliance to the people of Liangzhou really makes Liu Bei unable to pull this face.

But on the other hand, Liu Bei was almost sixty years old at this time, and the years were becoming more and more unforgiving, which made Liu Bei's desire to do something big in his lifetime stronger and stronger, which also made Liu Bei a little reluctant to give up the current great opportunity to enter Chang'an.

And the intersection of these two aspects is the main reason why Liu Bei is so hesitant now. As if listening to Pang Tong and Fa Zheng mention that Lu Ren would not really do anything in Nanzhong, Liu Bei had some other thoughts......

————————————————————

On the road leading to Hanzhong, Zhao Yun is carrying out routine inspection work. In fact, this kind of inspection, under normal circumstances, Zhao Yun does not need to do it at all, but Zhao Yun's mood has not been very good recently, and the reason is naturally Liu Bei's hesitant attitude.

Although Zhao Yun is a military general, he is a person with a sense of the overall situation. And in a sense, Zhao Yun's loyalty to the Han and the style of the countryman will not be worse than Xun Yu or Zhuge Liang. And such a person, in the face of the Western Regions Alliance, Zhao Yun is very firm in his position that he cannot join forces with the Western Regions Alliance at this time, and then bring disaster to the Central Plains. It's just that Liu Bei's hesitant attitude at this time really made Zhao Yun very helpless. And under the helplessness and depression, Zhao Yun could only go out for a walk in the name of patrolling, and comfort the depressed atmosphere in his heart.

"Report! Qi Qi General Zhao, there were dozens of fast horses galloping in front of him, and he was stopped by the patrol. ”

Not long after Liu Bei took Hanzhong, he then sent troops to attack the surrounding areas of Hanzhong, so it was indispensable to prevent the infiltration of Xizuo. And Zhao Yun came out to inspect, and this kind of thing is naturally under his jurisdiction.

"Dozens of fast horses? Is there any interrogation after being stopped? ”

"I asked, and the person who came said that he was from Jingzhou, and some of them held Mr. Zhuge 's writings. Just ......"

Zhao Yun frowned: "Since Mr. Zhuge has written the line, it is the fast horse messenger sent by Jingzhou, you let it go, why do you still come to ask me?" ”

The soldier who came to report hesitated for a moment, but still stubbornly said to Zhao Yun: "Among them, there is a woman, I heard that General Zhao happened to be patrolling here, so she claimed to be the general's sister, and she was an envoy specially sent by Lu Yizhou to meet the lord. ”

Zhao Yun's ears hurt at that time: "What? My sister? Could it be Zhao Yu? ”

Without further ado, it is just that when Zhao Yun arrived with a bunch of people, Zhao Yun was stunned for a long time, but the people around him were talking to each other. The reason is none other than him: these two are really brother and sister? But why do they look more like father and daughter?

You must know that Zhao Yun at this time is almost fifty years old (this book is set in the battle of Guandu in the fifth year of Jian'an, when Zhao Yun was in his early thirties, and Zhao Yu was seventeen. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an now, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu's ages are each nineteen), although they still do not show their old age, but their temples already have spotted gray hair. But Zhao Yu...... In fact, some people around Zhao Yun know Zhao Yu's age, but a woman who is thirty-six or seventeen years old and is running for four is fast, how can she look like she is twenty-four or five at most?

In fact, Zhao Yun was also wondering if he was wrong. Others don't know Zhao Yu's age, can Zhao Yun not know? But on the other hand, after Zhao Yu followed Lu Ren, he was mainly responsible for diplomatic work with Lao Cao, and Jingzhou didn't go much, so Zhao Yun had only met Zhao Yu a few times over the years, and Zhao Yu at that time was like this...... At that time, he was indeed twenty-four or five years old.

After a while, Zhao Yuncai asked uncertainly, "Sister Yu, is it really you?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and responded, "Brother, I haven't seen each other for many years." But I guess you'll be surprised to see me again. Don't be surprised, I haven't been married, and I followed Lu Yizhou to practice beauty exercises, so now I look no different from me in my twenties. It's just that once you get married, you will return to normal. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, but it was not too outrageous, after all, Lu Ren had worked the matter of cell activators. Of course, these are just gossip, and after a few words with each other, they turn back to the topic:

"Sister Yu, why did you come to Hanzhong?"

Zhao Yu said: "Mr. Zhuge 's letter should have been delivered to Uncle Liu Huang's hands, right?" But Lu Yizhou was still not at ease, afraid that Uncle Liu Huang would lose his mind for the sake of temporary profits, so he still sent me to persuade Uncle Liu Huang. Brother, Yu Zhi I am your sister, and Yu Gong is the envoy of Lu Yizhou, so I have to bother you to take me to see Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Zhao Yun is most worried about this matter now, and now he heard that Zhao Yu was an envoy sent by Lu Ren to persuade Liu Bei, of course he would not slack off, so he immediately led Zhao Yu into Hanzhong City to ask to see Liu Bei.

At nightfall, Zhao Yu met with Liu Bei and others. Speaking of which, Liu Bei has not taken advantage of Lu Ren, he already has relatively good diplomatic relations, and Lu Ren now has movements in Nanzhong and Jingzhou, which has a lot of influence on Liu Bei, so Liu Bei also hopes to have further contact with Lu Ren. Therefore, when he heard that Lu Ren's envoy had arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Bei even greeted a woman like Zhao Yu in person. As Liu Bei, he personally went to greet a woman, which was an extremely rare thing at that time.

After that, polite words are indispensable, and after a few glasses of wine, Zhao Yu put down the wine glass that he had never drunk at all, and then glanced around at Liu Bei's civil and military generals here, and then said to Liu Bei in a deep voice: "Uncle Huang, you must be wondering what I'm here for today, right?" Now that the situation is critical, I won't talk nonsense. Uncle Huang, Lu Yizhou sent me here in the hope that Uncle Huang can stop in Hanzhong, and he must not accept the proposal of the Western Regions Alliance. ”

Liu Bei's face pulled down at that time: "Lu Yizhou sent you to help Cao Thief be a lobbyist?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded.

Liu Bei was furious, and just wanted to shoot the case, Zhao Yu, who had expected this situation, took a step ahead of Liu Bei and said: "Uncle Huang, don't be angry first, can you listen to me?" ”

"Say!"

Zhao Yu looked at the civil and military generals in the tent who were either angry or contemplative, shook his head and said slowly: "Uncle Huang, do you know what the situation in the north is now?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I have heard a little. ”

Zhao Yu said: "Have you heard of it? I'll go into more detail about that. There are about 130,000 troops in the Western Regions, and although they are named after the 36 countries of the Western Regions, after Lu Yizhou's analysis, it should be Guishan, a great power in the Western Regions, who really directs the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

"Guishuang is different from my big man. In recent decades, our Han Dynasty has been torn apart by traitors, and the country's strength has been declining day by day, while Guishan's country has become stronger and stronger in the past few decades, and it is also a tiger's eye on the territory of our Han Dynasty and ambitious. This time, Guishuang was hidden behind the scenes, and instructed the 36 countries of the Western Regions to use the name of Qinhan to commit Liangzhou of our Han Dynasty, which was Guishuang secretly tempting. Once the Western Regions Alliance forces gain a foothold in Liangzhou, Guishan's army is likely to follow one after another. At that time, the Central Plains of China will be chaotic by foreign races. And the strategy of joining forces to attack Cao that the Western Regions Alliance Army is now mentioning to the imperial uncle is really a move to harbor evil intentions. Therefore, Lu Yizhou also hopes that Uncle Huang can think twice. ”

After a pause, Zhao Yu mentioned to Liu Bei that the Qiang tribe, the Xiongnu and other nomadic tribes would also follow and do things. In fact, Lu Ren believes that Liu Bei's people must have thought of these things, but at this time, he still has to tell Liu Bei in front of the gong and the drum on the other side. That's often the case, it's one thing for everyone to know in their hearts, but it's another thing to stab it in front of you.

What should be said is almost done, Zhao Yu changed his words: "Lu Yizhou knows that Cao Gong is a Han thief in the eyes of everyone, and now the Western Regions Alliance has invaded the territory, forcing Cao Gong to return to Chang'an, and the Western Regions Alliance Army wants to unite with the imperial uncle in the name of Qinhan, which is a golden opportunity for the imperial uncle to get rid of the Han thief." It's just Uncle Huang, have you thought about anything else? ”

Liu Bei's expression changed a few times, and he asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Zhao Yu said: "Since ancient times, the troubles in the northern part of the Central Plains have never stopped. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin, Zhao, Yan and other countries built the Great Wall to prevent the troubles of wandering in the north. Later, Gaozu Lihan was determined to sweep away Hu Kou for the people, but he was almost victimized by Hu Kou; When Emperor Wu first inherited the Han Dynasty, the national strength was exhausted, and the queen of the country was also humiliated by Hu Lu, these are the shame of my Han Dynasty! After that, Emperor Wu endured humiliation and burden, and after more than ten years, the national strength gradually flourished, and only then did he raise troops, break the old shame of Hulu and Xue, and Hulu called himself a subordinate...... At that time, what kind of arrogance was the sentence "Those who offend me are powerful in the Han Dynasty, although they are far away, they will be punished"? ”

Liu Bei was stunned, and said in his mouth: "Yes, those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away!" ”

Zhao Yu continued: "It's a pity that manpower is sometimes poor. Since the decline of the Han Dynasty, the trouble of Hulu has become increasingly serious. It is this Chang'an City, more than 20 years ago, when Dong Zhuo was executed, the Qianghu alien race and the Xiongnu came, and the entire Chang'an City was burned and looted by them...... Uncle Huang, what is Wuhu Yourong? It's a bunch of out-and-out robbers, a bunch of vicious wolves guarding the door of our big man's house! When our Han national strength is strong, they will surrender and beg for surrender, but when our Han national strength is weak, they will take advantage of the weakness to enter and burn, kill, and plunder all kinds of evil! Not to mention anything else, will there be fewer people in Liangzhou in Hanzhong recently? Haven't you seen it, Uncle Huang!? ”
