After Liu Chan's strategic flickering, Ma Chao regained his vitality, at least his complexion was much better than before.

Although he still can't sleep at night, he still has to rely on drinking to help him sleep, but during the day, he is already full of energy, takes the initiative to talk about things with his colleagues, and dares to actively speak on military and political affairs, which impresses everyone.

After staying in Ba County for a few days, Liu Bei also led the crowd back to Chengdu.

Taishou Fukuang, who was reinstated from his post, was very happy, and at this time, instead of stopping Liu Chan, he actively asked Shizi if he had a chance to take him out to fight and increase his knowledge.

Liu Chan pondered for a long time and said sincerely:

"Next time, definitely."

To be honest, Liu Bei really annoyed Sun Quan this time.

He brought 5,000 people, and as long as Liu Chan said that he could fight, he made up his mind to destroy Sun Quan.

Although Zhuge Liang did not support this, he felt that Liu Chan was a front-line commander, and when it came to information transmission factors, he should have more say in it, so he did not go all out to stop it.

Since Liu Chan was unwilling to fight Dongwu at this time, Liu Bei simply brought thousands of people to an armed march

He publicly announced that he would transfer these 5,000 people to Liu Chan and accept Liu Chan's dispatch.

And the worthless official positions that were previously given to Liu Chan were also withdrawn by Liu Bei one by one.

In the future, Liu Chan has only one identity.

That is Liu Bei's successor.

And it was the successor who mastered the army while Liu Bei was still alive.

This identity has more weight than all the previous official titles twisted together,

It can even be said that Liu Bei does not rule out handing over some of the power to Liu Chan now.

He trusted this son too much.

Seeing that Liu Bei was so supportive of Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang simply suggested that Liu Chan open a mansion so that Liu Chan could freely appoint subordinate officials.

The requirements for opening the government in the Han Dynasty were very high, and Liu Bei also had to consider the mood of some of his generals.

However, Liu Chan's military achievements are great, and presumably his subordinate Yuan Cong will not argue with Liu Bei on this kind of issue.

After returning to Chengdu, Liu Chan's opening can be arranged.

·

Compared to the opening of the house, which is not imminent,

Before the generals returned to Chengdu, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng had already taken the lead in arranging to be ready to support Shangyong at any time.

Speaking of which, the position of mediocrity is more awkward.

It is north of the Han River, and if Liu Beijun wants to support it on a large scale, he will either go west along the Han River from Xiangyang, or he will go east along the water from Hanzhong.

Anyway, it is difficult to directly transfer large-scale troops from Jiangzhou.

Zhuge Liang believes that the most important thing now is to appease Liu Feng Mengda first, and at the same time deter Shen Yi and try his best to win Shen Tan.

Tell them that Liu Bei will definitely give full support, and let Liu Feng and Meng Da resist as much as they can.

The rest of the matter can only be seen whether the troops can arrive in time.

Of course, it depends on whether Cao Wei dares to really come to Shangyong to die.

As for the Han Jia Taishou Huang Yuan mentioned by Liu Chan in the prophecy, Liu Bei would definitely not kill him just because of a prophecy.

But he still decided to be cautious and transferred Huang Yuan back to Chengdu to work as an official.

Everything was arranged, Liu Chan and Liu Bei returned to Chengdu together,

Speaking of mediocrity, he has also been thinking about -

If the purpose of the Wei army is really to feint against Shangyong and take the opportunity to attack Xiangyang,

So who should they be in Xiangyang's arrangement?

However, Liu Chan also immediately thought of a question.

With such a large-scale deployment of troops by Cao Wei, if he just gambled everything on Xiangyang's internal response, would it be too risky.

Until Chengdu, Fa Zheng and Huang Zhong had no physical problems.

Liu Chan couldn't wait for the two of them to get sick, so he could only go back to General Zuo's Mansion where he lived before to mobilize the army and prepare for the southern expedition.

Liu Bei is now the king of Hanzhong, and it is not suitable to live in the previous mansion.

In order not to give some Confucian scholars and celebrities the opportunity to say that they did not conform to the etiquette law, Liu Bei has announced the construction of the Hanzhong Palace.

But now the people's livelihood is not good, and Liu Bei is not willing to build a large number of buildings.

For the time being, he still lived in the previous mansion, and the construction of the palace was left to Huang Quan, allowing him to "slowly try it".

What kind of palace to live in, is it not good to keep money to fight?

Besides, the palace in Liu Bei's heart is not here.

At least, I'll go back to Chang'an.

The obedient Liu Chan understands his father's mind very well,

The people's livelihood in Yizhou was consumed too much because of the war in the previous two years, although it was not a big problem to sneak attack a wave while Cao Cao died.

However, it still took a long time to prepare for the large-scale Northern Expedition of Kuangfu Han.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome to fall into a quagmire war like Hanzhong.

Nanzhong must be taken down, and it must be stabilized as soon as possible.

After fighting for a long time, he already has a deep understanding of knowing himself and knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and he no longer dares to blindly start a war without knowing the enemy or the enemy.

He first asked someone to collect the specific distribution of barbarians in the southern and central counties, and then asked someone to invite Li Yan, who had fought with the barbarians many times before, to understand the basic situation of the barbarians.

This great talent who was arrogant in history and cheated Zhuge Liang was quite respectful in front of Liu Chan.

Hearing Liu Chan ask about the Nanban, Li Yan replied fluently, and faintly expressed his willingness to share the worries of the prince.

"The people of the Southern Barbarians have been dissatisfied with Wang Hua for a long time,

In the name of appeasement, the prince can gather the barbarians in one place, and then surround them on all sides, so that no one escapes. ”

"Yi people are afraid of martial arts and not afraid of morality, as long as they kill Yi Shuai, and then move Yi people to Shuzhong, the rest of the people are not enough to worry about."

Li Yan's eyes are above the top, and he doesn't even look at his colleagues, so naturally he won't treat those barbarians as people.

He believed that Liu Chan should use thunder to suppress the barbarians, and then move the people to Shuzhong as slaves.

The place to the south, with its miasma, won't provide much food anyway, so let the barbarians play for themselves.

Liu Chan was almost amused by Li Yan's suggestion.

Although the abandonment of Nanzhong will help to concentrate troops, the abandonment of such a large piece of land will definitely be sprayed into a dog in the history books of later generations.

And as far as he knows, Nanzhong is not a barbaric area,

Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition received a large amount of military and population support from the south, so that the Northern Expedition could always maintain its offensive.

He didn't want to hit Li Yan directly, so he simply smiled indifferently:

"Thank you General Li for your guidance, he is going south in the future, with his back to Qianwei, and General Li still needs to bother to prepare military support." (Li Yan is now a general of the Fu Han Dynasty and concurrently serves as the Taishou of Qianwei)

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but show a little obvious smugness.

He thought that he was by no means inferior to Zhuge Liang, but the timing of knowing Liu Bei was wrong, otherwise he would have been the chief mastermind under Liu Bei a long time ago.

Liu Chan now has the right to open the government, and will definitely inherit Liu Bei's great cause in the future.

If you have a good relationship with him, maybe your position in the future will be above Zhuge Liang.

Even if he didn't read the history books, Liu Chan could see the obvious ambition in Li Yan's eyes at this time.

He said in his heart that this person is extremely capable, but it is really difficult to control, and he will have to be careful in the future.

·

Sending Li Yan away, Liu Chan wanted to see if he could go from Chengdu to a thousand years later.

He had just asked someone to boil hot water, and before he could take the instant noodles out of his luggage, the servant had already spread the word that Wang Ping had come to visit.

"The prince is here?!" Liu Chan was overjoyed.

He hurriedly took out the instant noodles and soaked a bowl himself.

Wang Ping cautiously entered the door under the guidance of the servants,

Seeing that Liu Chan was excitedly pouring water into a round box, he hurriedly retreated outside.

Liu Chan beckoned happily and said:

"But General Wang Zijun? Please, please, please! ”

Wang Ping silently recited the etiquette of meeting the prince several times in his heart, slowly stepped inside, and quickly bowed to the ground:

"Minister Wang Ping, knock on the son."

Wang Pingdun was born in a barbarian background, and he was a demoted general, and he always felt that he couldn't get on the stage, and he had made many miraculous achievements in history, but he still couldn't change this problem.

Fortunately, Liu Chan is already very experienced with this kind of person.

In the era of paying attention to the hierarchy of the family, it is a great courtesy to the lower class people who are willing to fold and hand it over.

He also bowed to Wang Ping when he left the table, and Wang Ping hurriedly hid aside.

"I can't do it, my son, I can't do it!"

Liu Chan just likes Ma Chao in romance and games, but he really admires Wang Ping in history.

He helped Wang Ping up, sat down face to face with Wang Ping, and pushed the instant noodles to him:

"This is a soup cake given by God Haotian, called instant noodles, and the general is invited to taste it."

Wang Ping looked at the instant noodles that were exuding a rich aroma, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva,

He looked at Liu Chan with a blank look and said with a wry smile:

"The minister doesn't dare, and asks the prince to use it first."

Flour was a luxury in this era (the state banquet for the dignitaries of Soochow was a group of people making noodles), not to mention the instant noodles that were full of seasoning and fragrant.

If Liu Chan and Wang Ping had a bowl of one person, Wang Ping might have eaten it carefully with fear.

But Liu Chan was tired of eating for a long time, he only made a bowl for Wang Ping, and Wang Ping said that he didn't dare to eat anything.

"The minister is ignorant and rude, how dare he eat and drink in front of the prince, he is afraid of insulting the son.

Please also ask the son of the world to take back his life. ”

Liu Chan was helpless, so he had no choice but to drag the bowl of soaked instant noodles back, and planned to bring a few bowls to Wang Ping when he left, so that he could go home and enjoy it himself.

Looking at this future top star of Ji Han, who was obviously not confident, Liu Chan couldn't find a topic for a while.

Liu Chan didn't speak, and Wang Ping naturally didn't dare to speak.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

Finally, Liu Chanxian couldn't help it:

"General Wang, to make a long story short, I want to attack Nanzhong and crusade against Buchen,

I don't know if General Wang will dare to go with me. ”

"Don't dare to ......"

"Good...... Ahh ”
