Liu Zhang thought about it and felt that what Wu Yi said made sense.

Now that Guo Peng has not immediately moved south, it may take him a year or two to accumulate before he can launch the next wave of general attacks.

Before he launched a general attack, he would open his way south, seize the population resources from the barbarian tribes, and perhaps, survive for a while.

The Nanzhong barbarians have always been an existence that Liu Zhang looks down on but has a headache.

Crusade, I don't feel like I can't get anything, don't crusade, they always come to the door to find smoke.

It's good that I can't go north, so I'm just in time to go south.

Hanzhong is gone, Wu Yi can't be too shou in Hanzhong, it doesn't matter.

In order to facilitate their development to the south, Liu Zhang broke out his desire to survive, and immediately appointed Wu Yi as the Taishou of Yuewang County and Wu Ban as the Taishou of Qiqi County, giving the two of them the right to military and political affairs, so that they could truly expand their territory to the south, crusade against the barbarians in Nanzhong, and obtain population and materials.

This is the only thing Liu Zhang can do at the moment.

Yizhou is similar to Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and the main Han population is concentrated in the Sichuan Basin, concentrated near Chengdu, and the farther away from Chengdu, the fewer Han people there are, or even none.

The south side is set up in the south of the country, such as the county of Yuewang, the county of the Youngchang and so on, and it feels like it is set up to play.

Basically, all of them are local aborigines, known as Nanban, and there is no Han population, no taxes, and no tribute.

It nominally belongs to Yizhou and belongs to the Han Dynasty, but in fact it is a wild and uncivilized land, all of which are primitive jungle tribes.

Liu Yan didn't think about development, and Liu Zhang didn't want to develop if he wasn't forced by Guo Peng to have no choice.

Isn't there no way?

Wu Yi and Wu Ban led some troops south, came to Yuewang County and Qiqi County, and began their difficult journey to the south and the operation to renew Liu Zhang's life.

Since the Wu people, the Shu people did not dare to look north.

However, it should not be said that although the southern and central tribes are wild, they are rich in products and resources.

Trees, stones, minerals, wildlife, lots and lots of them.

The population is not a lot, and the population of the major tribes does not seem to be much, but it is really a lot, at least for Liu Zhang, who is in dire need of manpower, it means a lot.

If Wu Yi and Wu Ban do well, they can get a lot of resources that can be used to wage war in Nanzhong to a considerable extent.

The war potential in the Sichuan Basin has been greatly damaged, and now it is necessary to march south, towards the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, to seize the local war potential.

If he could not successfully obtain the war potential from Nanzhong, Liu Zhang's regime would truly collapse and there would be no salvation.

At this time, only Liu Jingsheng of Jingzhou still maintained a considerable part of the army.

After all, nominally, the Jingzhou army is Liu Biao's, whether the generals are from Jingzhou or not, they are all Liu Biao's army, and they can't help but listen to Liu Biao's command.

Of course, it's one thing to do it or not, it's another thing to get there.

The only descendant army was tragically destroyed, and Liu Biao also had some doubts and speculations, but there was no evidence.

Zhang Yun did stop Liu Pan, it was Liu Pan who attacked the Wei army desperately, but he was beaten by the Wei army, not to mention his own life, and defeated all the descendants.

Without the descendants, Liu Biao immediately felt very insecure.

It is not possible to have a sense of security, Liu Biao needs a sense of security.

Liu Biao thought about it and decided to find a way to call Liu Pan's old department, Huang Zhong, a native of Nanyang, to his side.

He appointed Huang Zhong as the general of Zhenbei Zhonglang, stationed in Xiangyang, and handed over the 20,000 garrison troops in Xiangyang to Huang Zhong's command.

Obviously, Liu Biao intends to train new descendants.

Huang Zhong was born in an ordinary poor family, has no scholar background, is also older, has deep qualifications, and in a sense, he is not on the same road as the Cai family.

Liu Biao took a fancy to Huang Zhong's background and attitude, so he increased Huang Zhong's military power and let Huang Zhong command the Xiangyang garrison, so as to increase his sense of security.

Cai Mao did not obstruct either.

He knew that Liu Biao was very insecure, and it was not in his interests not to give him a sense of security at this time.

But Huang Zhong is a stable person, has a reputation for courage in the army, has a hand in leading soldiers, and has deep qualifications, if he becomes Liu Biao's cronies and soldiers, it will not be a good thing for Cai Mao.

Cai Mao thought about whether he could win over Huang Zhong a little, so as not to let Huang Zhong become a stumbling block to their entire Jingzhou strategy.

Cai Mao didn't want Jingzhou to follow in the footsteps of Jiangdong and Yizhou at all, looking at what happened to Jiangdong and Yizhou, Cai Mao was almost scared to death.

No, no, it won't work like this.

Jingzhou must be handed over to Guo Peng in its entirety, and there can be no war!

Huang Zhong is indeed capable, so he can't become an enemy.

Cai Mao asked people everywhere to inquire about Huang Zhong's news, thinking if he could find a breakthrough from it.

Don't say it, I've found it.

Huang Zhong's only son, Huang Xu, is not in good health, has been ill for a long time, and has not been able to find a famous doctor to cure him.

Now Huang Xu's body has not been healed, Huang Zhong is depressed, and Cai Mao feels that this is a good breakthrough.

So Cai Mao took the initiative to approach Huang Zhong and showed favor to Huang Zhong, expressing his willingness to introduce famous doctors to Huang Zhong.

During this period, Huang Zhong was in a very bad mood.

The Northern Expedition failed, lost the old leader, his only son continued to fall ill, and there was no result in seeking medical treatment in many ways, he was at a low point in his life, but he was entrusted with an important task, commanding 20,000 troops to guard Xiangyang.

The circumstances of life made Huang Zhong, who had passed the age of not being confused, cry and laugh.

As a result, Cai Mao appeared at this time and offered to introduce Huang Zhong's son to a doctor.

Huang Zhong is relatively unfamiliar with Cai Mao, the two sides have different backgrounds and have no contact, and Huang Zhong doesn't want to get close to them.

But the other party offered to introduce a famous doctor to him, and if he could cure his son's illness, Huang Zhong didn't care who was who.

So Huang Zhong corresponded with Cai Mao and asked Cai Mao where he could introduce a famous doctor to treat his son.

Cai Mao smiled mysteriously.

"Has Han Sheng ever heard that the great doctor under the command of Wei Gong Guo Peng, Hou Huayuanhua in Guannei?"

"Huayuanhua?"

Huang Zhong was a little surprised: "Of course I've heard that everyone knows that Huahou Ti led the Great Medical Pavilion to treat people all over the world, and he is the first person to be knighted with medical Taoism." ”

"That's right, as long as Hansheng is willing, I can send Hansheng's son to Yecheng and ask Hua Yuanhua to personally take action to treat Hansheng's son."

"Really?"

Huang Zhong looked at Cai Mao in surprise.

"Seriously."

Cai Mao nodded.

Huang Zhong was immediately overjoyed.

Hua Tuo Yuanhua, that is the first person to be knighted in the medical way, when Guo Peng showed him as the Marquis of Guannei, it also set off a small storm in the world.

If it weren't for Yuan Shu's claim to be the emperor, he instantly grabbed the headlines, and it is estimated that Hua Tuo would be even more famous.

In fact, this matter is not a big deal for Guo Peng, he did it casually, but this story is really interesting.
