As soon as Liu Bei made a move, he took care of Xiliang's affairs, which made the court, and there were originally many people who were dissatisfied with Liu Bei, so they shut up all of a sudden.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military originally had some doubts about Liu Bei's ability, but now they saw that Liu Bei so easily disintegrated the Xiliang Rebellion and incorporated Ma Teng, tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers and horses.

For a while, he was also admired, and all the doubts about Liu Bei at the beginning disappeared.

Liu Bei was also in such turmoil, and naturally became the person with the most voice in the court.

In the past, Liu Bei did not have a stage to show his ability.

But now he is different.

After becoming a general under one person and above ten thousand, he has a big enough stage to display his abilities.

Taking advantage of the fact that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses did not touch his territory at the moment, Liu Bei proposed a bold plan.

That is to gather Ma Teng's soldiers and horses first, and by the way, let the men and horses in the Hedong region of Bingzhou go south to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is the point connecting Yizhou and the Central Plains.

At this moment, Liu Yan, who was serving as the emperor of Yizhou, had not paid attention to the orders of the imperial court for a long time.

For Liu Yan, although the imperial court still exists, it is just a puppet emperor, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period hundreds of years ago, and the existence of the imperial court is none other than Zhou Tianzi at that time.

Although it still exists, it is just a figure with no real power, and Liu Yan is a prince sitting on the frontier, and his own strength has grown rapidly over the years, and he has become less and less concerned with the imperial court.

In addition, there is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong as a portal. Block the interaction between the Central Plains and Yizhou.

After Yizhou and the Central Plains no longer intersected, Liu Yan's news became less and less. However, Yizhou is a vast land and a country of abundance has a large population, so it is impossible for the imperial court to directly abandon this place.

What Liu Bei thought in his heart was to take advantage of Liu Zheng's men and horses now, and there was no change in the Sichuan-Shu region.

As long as the imperial court can regain control of the Sichuan and Shu regions, then its power will inevitably increase greatly.

At that time, whether it was taxes or conscription, it could greatly enhance the ruling power and prosperity of the imperial court.

It is not impossible to fight against Liu Zheng.

Now the biggest obstacle in Liu Bei's heart is Liu Zheng, who is trying his best to strengthen the strength of the imperial court. Fortunately, before the decisive battle with Liu Zheng happened, he could improve the ability of the imperial court as much as possible, and when there was really one day, he could be foolproof.

Originally, Liu Bei did not have this strength, after all, as soon as his soldiers and horses came, he had to guard against the Yuan brothers in the north, and he also had to arrange a large number of soldiers and horses to prevent Liu Zheng's possible attack at any time.

Of course, the Yuan brothers don't have to worry, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are mainly to prevent Liu Zheng, after all, the territory that Liu Zheng now occupies and the battle line is too long, no matter from any place to attack the imperial court, it will give Liu Bei a headache.

So he himself simply didn't have the extra troops to find trouble with Liu Yan in Yizhou.

But now it's different, now he's re-recruited Ma Teng's soldiers and horses, as well as the Hedong Baibo Army and the Huns.

In the soldiers, it can be said that it has skyrocketed a lot in an instant, and he already has enough ability to find trouble with Liu Yan.

Even if the first wave of attack cannot be directly hit to Yizhou, as long as Hanzhong is recaptured, it will be able to occupy a dominant position, and when the time comes, it can be attacked, and retreat can be defended.

Therefore, for the next period of time, Liu Bei has been thinking about attacking Hanzhong.

Of course, for Liu Zheng, who was far away on Kyushu Island, he didn't know about this matter at all.

During his time on Kyushu Island, although there would be some spies going back and forth between Kyushu Island and the land of China.

But the news was transmitted too slowly, and when I heard the news about Liu Bei on Kyushu Island, there was at least a gap of more than half a month in between.

At this time, Liu Zheng was discussing with his men and horses about the occupation of Fukuoka City by the Dog Slave Kingdom, and what to do to defeat the people and horses of the Dog Slave Kingdom in Fukuoka City.

It's been a few days since Dog Kochi and his men took Fukuoka Castle.

In the past few days, Liu Zheng's men and horses have not been idle.

On the one hand, they are trying their best to regain control of the territory that originally belonged to Yan Baihu under their own hands, and on the other hand, they are also rapidly expanding their strength on Kyushu Island, constantly recruiting local natives, and even recruiting some remnants of soldiers who previously belonged to Yan Baihu to join the army.

However, the larger the number of troops, the greater the consumption of resources.

As for the boatloads of grain and grass that Liu Zheng brought from the land of China, it was impossible to support them on Kyushu Island for too long.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng's fleet had already made a round trip to the Central Plains during this time, and brought back more than a dozen boats of grain and grass, which was enough for his men and horses to hold out for another two months.

At the same time, there is still a lot of grain and grass left over by Yan Baihu and others, so Liu Zheng does not need to worry about the grain and grass for the time being.

It's just that although he has enough soldiers and horses now, it is not easy to attack Fukuoka Castle directly.

According to the information obtained by Liu Zheng's spies, nearly 40,000 troops are now stationed in Fukuoka Castle.

Of these 40,000 people, most of them were soldiers and horses that Dog Guchi had brought with him during the previous attack on Fukuoka Castle, and later recruited some local people to form a mercenary army in Fukuoka Castle.

The dog Kochi himself was very smart, and naturally knew that after capturing Fukuoka Castle, he would immediately increase his rule over Fukuoka. Only by recruiting enough soldiers and horses can we suppress the uprisings that may be launched at any time in various places.

As such, the vicinity of Fukuoka Castle was swept away by the men and horses of Dog Kochi in just a few days. At this moment, it was peaceful, as if it was completely occupied by the dog Guzhi.

After learning this, Liu Zheng wanted to directly order Zhou Tai to lead his soldiers and horses to attack Fukuoka City.

It's just that in this case, the loss will inevitably be too great, which is not the result that Liu Zheng wants.

In the end, he had no choice but to wait for the opportunity while he began to think of other ways to deal with Dog Guzhi.

In fact, Liu Zheng has a way to deal with Dog Gu Zhi.

It's just that the battle line will be very long, which is not conducive to Liu Zheng's control of all the cities on Kyushu Island, but after this period of waiting. Liu Zheng wanted to attack Fukuoka Castle, but after he never had a chance, he could only think of other ways.

That is to take the means of attacking the east and the west, and on the surface it is to gather troops near Fukuoka Castle, but in private it is the base camp of the Raida and dispatch troops and horses to attack the country of Gounu.

The base camp of the Dog Slave Kingdom is to the east of Yamatai, which is not too far away.

However, the territory is vast, and if Liu Zheng can bring the base camp of the Dog Slave Country under his command, even if the Dog Guzhi, who has lost his old nest, occupies Fukuoka City, it will only be the end of the crossbow.

It won't be long to toss.
