"However, what Mr. said about balance, once I have cleared all the obstacles, is this also a balance?"

"This is natural, when one side has no opponent, isn't it from the perspective of the overall environment, it can be regarded as a balance?"

"Oh, I see."

Zhao Yun nodded in sudden realization.

"But ......"

However, Xu Shu's next turn,

But Zhao Yunshu's brows tightened again.

"The things that Fang just said are just talking about the Central Plains."

Zhao Yun frowned and looked at Xu Shu,

I didn't react for a while,

"Could it be that in addition to the Central Plains, there are ......"

Halfway through the words,

Zhao Yun closed his mouth by himself,

It occurred to him suddenly,

Above this world,

In addition to the Central Plains,

And there are countless countries,

Originally, he only knew about the grasslands and the countries of the Western Regions.

But since following Lu Bu,

He had heard Lu Bu tell many novel anecdotes,

I also know that the Central Plains is relative to the whole world,

It's just a drop in the ocean,

In addition, in recent years, I have personally come into contact with other countries such as the Japanese country.

Halfway through the words,

I remembered these countries,

Therefore, I vaguely understood the meaning of Xu Shu's words.

"So, sir, what you want to say is that what we are doing now is to be able to deal with the next war against those forces outside the Central Plains?"

Xu Shu smiled and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder,

"Plan ahead, our lord has done a better job than anyone else!"

"I heard that this time the Lord is going to have a decisive battle with my master and their worldly masters, and those ninjas in the Wa Kingdom, is it also part of the 'seeking balance' thing?"

"That's right. Now that the Wa Kingdom has begun to open its fangs, and the Western Regions are no longer peaceful, it is said that further north of the grassland, there seem to be some signs, and all kinds of circumstances have indicated that a more magnificent troubled era is coming. However, the Central Plains is still in disintegration, so we must step up our pace and unify the Central Plains as quickly as possible, so that the lord can lead us to conquer the real world without worries! ”

Xu Shu's eyes shone with a dazzling light,

Like a storyteller telling a great story,

After Zhao Yun heard his story,

I can't help but be fascinated,

They have known for a long time that one day in the future,

It is possible that under the leadership of Lu Bu,

Go to the country beyond the Central Plains to expand the territory,

It's just that, at that time,

I always feel that this thing is too far away,

However, at this moment, after hearing Xu Shu's explanation,

Zhao Yun suddenly discovered,

It turns out that this thing,

Even away from them at this moment,

It's already so close.

Zhao Yun, who has a calm heart,

I couldn't help but get excited at the moment,

He's even begun to fantasize,

Together with Xiahoulan,

led the 'Worry Army' to cross and close,

Expand the territory of the entire Central Plains countless times,

What kind of passionate life it would be.

Xu Shu interrupted Zhao Yun's imagination,

He spoke softly:

"Zilong, the things you hope for will come true in the near future, but before that, we need to complete our own things first."

Zhao Yun looked at Xu Shu and nodded solemnly,

He heard the meaning of Xu Shu's words,

Naturally, I also understood what Xu Shu meant.

"This time to conquer Liaodong Gongsun Du, I am going to send you to 'go to worry about the army', and then add Pan Feng's 'Wushuang army', with your two troops, it should be more than enough......"

"Sir, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to our mission and take Liaodong as soon as possible!"

Xu Shu nodded with satisfaction,

Then he said in a very serious tone:

"I absolutely believe in General Zilong and General Wushuang, however, in addition to attacking Liaodong, there is an additional task to be handed over to you."

Zhao Yun was also affected by his serious expression,

The waist suddenly straightened,

Hurriedly spoke again:

"Sir, just give me orders!"

"The lord had arranged some arrangements east of Liaodong before, and although I didn't know the details, I could guess that they must be related to the lord's other plans. After you arrive in Liaodong, remember not to go to this place easily, and at the same time strengthen the surveillance and infiltration over there, and wait for new news from the dark group before considering the next step. ”

"Order!"

After listening to Xu Shu's instructions,

Zhao Yun immediately turned around and left here,

He's a man of determination,

Now that you have received a clear order,

Then he'll go and get ready as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of his style of never dragging mud and water,

It makes the 'Worry Army' more and more excellent.

Xu Shu looked at the background of Zhao Yun gradually moving away,

There is not the slightest worry in my heart,

He knows Zhao Yun very well,

This is a rare general,

Although there are limitations in terms of the big picture,

Destined to not be a handsome man,

But commanding a local war,

Definitely more than enough,

What's more, there is also the 'Peerless General' Pan Feng to cooperate with him,

Such a combination,

Not to mention attacking a mere Liaodong,

Even if you are a rival who is one or two times stronger,

Xu Shu also has great confidence in them.

Continue to walk slowly in the barracks alone,

He continued to think,

Since you want to help Lu Bu take precautions,

Then you need to plan the details carefully,

After all, the enemies and forces they need to face next,

It's no longer just this one-third of an acre of land in the Central Plains,

There will be a lot of unknown enemies,

In this case,

Thorough preparation and careful planning,

is the key to being able to move forward.

Bashu refers to the Sichuan Basin and its adjacent areas,

Located in southwest China,

The general scope includes the Sichuan Basin and its vicinity,

It is now the central and eastern part of Sichuan Province and southern Shaanxi, western Hubei and other places.

The main inhabitants are Han Chinese,

It is also part of the Han land.

Historically, the Bashu region, Hanzhong region and Guanzhong region were the battleground of ancient Chinese feudal dynasties.

Qin in the first year of King Zhou (314 BC) placed Ba County,

The county was first placed in Langzhong County,

Later, it was moved to Jiangzhou County.

At the beginning of the county, it governed 6 counties: Jiangzhou (now Jiangbei District, Chongqing), Dianjiang (now Hechuan District, Chongqing), Langzhong, Jiangyang, Danqu (now Qu County, Sichuan), and Fu County.

After that, 5 new counties were built one after another.

In the fifth year of Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (202 years ago), Ba County was still placed,

The following year, Jiangyang and Fu counties were changed to Guanghan County.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Yuanfeng five years (106 years ago) placed the thirteen history department,

Ba County Zhiyi Prefecture Thorn History Department,

The county is still Jiangzhou County,

It has jurisdiction over 11 counties, including Jiangzhou (now Jiangbei District, Chongqing), Dianjiang (now Hechuan District, Chongqing), Langzhong, Anhan (now Nanchong, Sichuan), Chongguo (now southern Sichuan), and Danqu.

Emperor Han He (89-105),

Add 3 counties including Xuanhan (now Dazhou City, Sichuan) and Hanchang (now Bazhong City, Sichuan).

In the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (194),

Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang divided Ba County into three:

To the north of the Dianjiang River is Ba County,

Jiangzhou to Linjiang (now Chongqing Zhong County) is Yongning County,

From Quren (now Yunyang County, Chongqing) to Yufu (now Fengjie County, Chongqing) is Guling County.

Today's Bashu is divided into three like this,

Now Liu Yan father and son,

the area that can be controlled,

There is only half of Yongning County left,

And that position is also precarious,

After all, the damage caused by Huang Fu Lin is too great,

The economic collapse of the whole Bashu,

Even if Liu Yan's wrist is amazing,

But the common people can't even eat.

Where will listen to your commands from the governor of Rausch,

Now that we can keep this foundation,

That's also with years of painstaking management,

Today, however, it is on the verge of collapse. Everyone

In a luxurious house,

exudes a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine,

The guards outside the house are very tight,

Silence inside,

Only one after another of violent coughing kept coming.

A somewhat stocky young man,

Trotting in from outside the house,

He looks relatively ordinary,

Abnormally fair skin,

White chubby looks very cute,

It's just that on the face of this little white fat man at this moment,

But with a strong color of sorrow,

He hurried towards the back room,

The man has not yet entered the house,

The voice with a crying voice has already sounded,

"Daddy—Daddy—"

"Ahem...... cough, Ji, Ji Yu, I haven't been a father yet, and I'm not dead...... Ahem, what are you doing like that? ”

On the bed in the back room,

Although it is a hot and humid weather now,

A frail old man,

The body is still covered with a thick quilt,

His face is old,

The beard and hair have been gray and dull,

Although the clothes are very gorgeous,

But it is also difficult to hide the smell of aging that emanates from within.

This old man is Yizhou Mu Liu Yan,

The little fat man who just rushed into the house,

It was his son Liu Zhang.

Liu Yan looked at his son with a cautious face,

Immediately felt more discouraged,

The cough that finally subsided,

Again it became violent,

At this time, two figures walked into the house,

When he saw these two men come in,

Liu Yan's face finally soothed.

These two are of medium stature,

One of them was dark-skinned and named Pang Xi;

Another fair-skinned person is Zhao Wei.

Both of them are important officials in Yizhou,

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty served as a councillor.

After Liu Yan and Ma Teng's army attacked Chang'an and failed,

Pang Xi spent money to rescue and recruit Liu Yan's descendants to abandon their official positions and enter Shu,

Served as a subordinate of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan,

He is the leader of Liu Yan Group Dongzhou Shi.

Zhao Wei followed Liu Yan into Shu in his early years,

Won Liu Yan's trust,

He now holds the position of Captain of the Pawn Agricultural School.

These two people have always been highly valued by Liu Yan,

Today, together with his favorite youngest son Liu Zhang, he came here one after another.

It was under Liu Yan's secret order,

The two of them went into the house,

Seeing Liu Yan's bleak appearance,

was slightly stunned,

Then he hurriedly saluted Liu Yan and said:

"I've seen the lord!"

"Ahem...... Get up! ”

Liu Yan barely allowed himself to speak a little strongly,

But because of the strength of the kingdom,

Causes a flush on the face.

It took a long time to gradually recover,

Stretched out his hand and beckoned to Liu Zhang on the side,

motioned for him to come and help him to sit up,

It's just such a simple action,

Once again, Liu Yan gasped violently.

"Pang Xi, Zhao Wei!"

The two heard Liu Yan's call,

hurriedly stepped forward and bowed half-step and saluted:

"The lower official is here!"

"Phew—do you two know why I am and why I called you here?"

The two of them heard Liu Yan's straightforward question,

exchanged a slight look with each other,

But no one would open their mouths to give the answer.

There were rumors before that Liu Yan was terminally ill,

It's just that it hasn't been confirmed,

But now, Liu Yan is in front of them,

Why the two of them don't believe it,

However, this kind of words,

But how dare you say it.

"Phew—I'm almost ......"

"Daddy......"

Liu Zhang couldn't help but sob.

Although Liu Yan had a trace of disappointment between his eyebrows,

But when I saw my son's sincere expression,

On the face,

It's more of a sense of relief.

It took a lot of effort,

gently patted the back of his son's thick hand,

continued to say to the two people in front of him:

"Now, Yizhou is in danger, but I, I can't continue to hold on. Ji Yu is a little weak, after I leave, you two should assist Ji Yu well! ”

When Pang Xi and Zhao Wei heard this,

Hurriedly knelt on the ground,

Liu Yan is clearly supporting Gu,

Although before coming,

I already have a premonition in my heart,

But at this moment, when I heard the other party really announce,

Still couldn't help but get excited.

"The lower official will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, take care of the prince to inherit the state pastor, and assist the prince to recapture Yizhou ......"

Pang Xi loudly expressed his loyalty,

was interrupted by Liu Yan's coughing,

He sighed heavily,

If these words had been in earlier times,

He might still be willing to listen,

But at this moment,

He didn't even have the patience to listen to a word.

waved his hand vigorously,

The eyebrows twisted together in pain,

The two of them saw Liu Yan's expression at the moment,

Knowingly, he closed his mouth.

"Okay, you two will go back first, go back. I still have some things to talk about with Ji Yu, and I want to talk about ......"

"Retire!"

Pang Xi and Zhao Wei hurriedly exited Liu Yan's room.

After the two of them are far away,

Liu Yancai spoke again:

"Ji Yu, my son."

"Daddy, the baby is here."

Liu Yan took a few hard breaths,

On the old face,

Suddenly there was a flush,

Immediately afterwards, the whole person seemed to be much more energetic.

Liu Zhang saw this situation,

First of all, he looked happy,

Then he became even more sad,

Although he has a cowardly character,

But very clever,

Liu Yan's situation at this time,

It's clearly the way it looks like it's back to the light.

"Whew, son, time is running out for fatherhood. In the future, this Yizhou ......"

After a pause, thinking of the current situation in Yizhou,

Liu Yan changed his words and said:

"Yongning County is up to you! Although the two of them are lacking in ability, they are easy to control, and I must remember not to be fooled by their rhetoric. ”

Liu Zhang's face was full of tears,

I was choked up and couldn't speak,

He can only express his opinion by nodding his head incessantly.

Liu Yan looked at him with a smile,

Stretched out his hand and stroked Liu Zhang's cheek and said:

"Son, Daddy didn't leave you a legacy, if ......"
