Chapter 743: Liu Zhang's Defeat
is the so-called creation of people, although Li Hugo spread the news that Liu Zhang left with gold, but he didn't expect it to attract bandits.
Instead, he lured out a demon around Liu Zhang, this demon is Liu Zhang's housekeeper, it turns out that Liu Zhang's housekeeper is called Wang Wu, this Wang Wu and Liu Zhang's concubine have long had an affair, this time they left with Liu Zhang, and the two began to discuss, discussing Liu Zhang's property.
When the two of them buried the pot for everyone to cook on the way, they quietly infiltrated the medicine, but the poor medicine was still inferior, and everyone did not faint after eating, but lay on the side half-paralyzed, so they saw the identities of the two clearly.
The concubine and Wang Wu knew that they would be reported to the official if they stayed alive, and they would inevitably be killed by Li Bolong at that time, so they killed everyone.
It is outrageous that the concubine and Wang Wu have no strength and have never killed anyone, so when they planned to cut Liu Zhang's neck, they didn't cut it a few times, Liu Zhang was not beheaded, but was hurt to death.
There were twenty or thirty large and small knife marks on the neck, and when the corpse was sent to Chengdu, Li Hugo was also stunned, what kind of hatred and hatred was this, and he tortured Liu Zhang to death.
And Zhang Ren was locked up in the prison, and after knowing the news of Liu Zhang's tragic death, he actually committed suicide by swallowing stones in the prison, which made Li Hugo admire speechless.
Li Hugo cherished his talent, so he spared Zhang Ren's life, and wanted to include him under his command, after all, Zhang Ren is also a talent, but he didn't expect Zhang Ren to be so loyal to Liu Zhang.
Li Hugo caught the concubine and Wang Wu, and told the world about this crime, so that everyone in Xichuan knew about Liu Zhang's death, and also knew that Li Hugo had caught the murderer.
So the pair of sinners were executed logically, and Li Hugo also became a generation of benevolent kings, capturing Xichuan but not killing Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was killed by the housekeeper, and Li Hugo took great pains to catch the murderer and avenge him.
In this way, the people of Xichuan were also moved by Li Hugo's benevolence, and the original loose people's hearts were suddenly tightened by Li Hugo.
Li Hugo was exempted from forced labor for two years and halved his taxes for two years, which made Hanzhong and Yizhou even stronger.
With Yizhou as a base, Li Hugo also has a foundation for unifying the south, but he never thought that there were not many good things that happened, and this bad thing immediately followed, it turned out that Liu Bei under the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, immediately mobilized the masses and soldiers to control the floods in Jingzhou, and with half a year's efforts, the floods in Jingzhou City were treated.
Li Hugo originally planned to let the flood recede automatically, about two years, where did he think that Liu Bei would directly let his subordinates have the right to control the water, so in this way, Liu Bei actually got Jingzhou City.
At the beginning, the people of Jingzhou City were all taken by Li Hugo to the four counties of Jingnan, as well as Hanzhong, so there are no people in Jingzhou City now.
But Zhuge Liang paid attention again, that is, all the people of Nanjun, Nanyang, Xinye, and Jiangxia were transferred to Jingzhou City, and the vitality of Jingzhou was restored.
When Li Hugo heard the news, he frowned.
Li Hugo said in his heart that this Zhuge Liang was really seamless and refused to miss any opportunity, but Li Hugo's expression was quite helpless in the eyes of Pang Tong next to him.
Pang Tong sat next to Li Hugo, took the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Hugo, and he said slowly: "Lord, ......"
"Oh, what did you just say?"
Pang Tong stroked his sparse beard: "Lord, are you worried now, Zai Xia and that Kong Ming are from the same school, and they are both disciples of Mr. Shuijing, so Zai Hui is soft-hearted when dealing with Kong Ming?"
"Hahaha, Shiyuan is too worried, I naturally won't worry about this, I know the virtue of Shiyuan, the so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and people are not suspicious. Li Hugo said.
"The lord doesn't need to use people to be suspicious, this is said in my heart, lord...... Although Cao Mengde is damned, he is also my old master after all, and now Cao Mengde in the north has become Sima Yi, what do you think of this matter?" Cheng Yu peeled a fruit with a knife on the side.
Li Hugo took a sip of hot tea: "Sima Yi is more difficult to deal with than Cao Mengde. ”
At this time, Li Hugo wanted to smoke a cigarette, but there was no cigarette, so he could only break a dog's tail and stuff it between his teeth.
"Now Jingzhou has been taken by Liu Bei, and Jiangdong Sun Ce has no contact with us for half a year, and Lu Bu is now difficult to protect himself, sandwiched between Sima Yi, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce, I am afraid that the current situation is a mess of stew. Pang Tong said with a heavy heart.
"What about Han Shizhong?" asked Li Hugo again.
"Han Shizhong is now guarding Jingnan, as the governor of the navy, he and Mrs. Liang Hongyu and Xu Shu together in the White Emperor City, after all, Jingnan across the river is the White Emperor City, Liu Bei now occupies the important land of Jingzhou, and the four counties of Jingnan also belong to the Jingzhou region logically speaking, I am afraid that Liu Bei's next goal is to unify Jingzhou, he knows that Jingzhou is a granary, which can provide countless grains, grass and military service every year, such a piece of fat meat, how can he miss it?" Pang Tong said.
Li Hugo nodded: "After years of fighting, it's time to annex a wave, and take a good rest for two years, now we occupy Hanzhong, Xichuan, and Jingnan, which can be regarded as a quarter of the world, and it is not appropriate for us to fight anymore now, it has been more than two years since I left Luoyang, and the soldiers have long been tired, so they should all have a good rest, and then they will work hard to designate the next target." ”
"The lord's love for soldiers is not appropriate for him to admire, but I think that now we are in full bloom, it is better to have Sima Yi in the Northern Expedition, after all, Sima Yi has just usurped the throne now, replacing Cao Mengde as the third person to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and many of his civil ministers and generals are very dissatisfied with him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Pang Tong said.
Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "It's not proper, if we come out of the nest, in case Ma Teng of Xiliang attacks my Hanzhong, and Liu Bei of Jingzhou takes my Xichuan, then won't we have no base area, this family has been captured, where can we come back?
Obviously, Pang Tong is an enterprising, while Cheng Yu is a conservative, and the decision at this time is in the hands of Li Hugo.
The two of them really looked at Li Hugo, waiting for Li Hugo to make a decision, and Li Hugo slowly stood up, he said: "You don't have to argue, I have a plan in my heart." ”
The two looked at each other and were surprised, because no one could guess what Li Hugo was thinking.
