Is this Meng Shu Jianning Meng's? "In the long mountain road, the endless green mountains and green waters, I will always feel irritable after a long time, Liu Yi is okay, his temperament has been accustomed to the life of dozens of days of marching in this era over the years, in this era, the traffic is basically walked, and the carriage and donkey cart are all more luxurious ways to travel, looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Yi said curiously.

The young man's name is Meng Yan, the name is Xiu Ming, a member of the Meng family of the Zhu Ti Hao family, and he is one of the few Hao families who chose to defect to Liu Yi when Liu Yi recruited soldiers and horses in Zhu Ti this time.

Liu Yi found out during this time that the surname Meng is the surname of Nanzhong, and the Zhu Ti Meng family was an official in the Central Plains during the Western Han Dynasty, and the family continued for at least three hundred years, while the Jianning Meng family moved south from the Zhu Ti Meng family, and later gradually developed into another huge scholar clan, and therefore, Liu Yi was very curious, so whether Meng Shu was a Han or a Yi person?

"Back to Tinghou, Meng Huo is a member of the Yi nationality, and there may be my Meng bloodline, but there is no record of this person in the genealogy." Meng Yan shook his head, although the Jianning Meng clan has set up its own portal, and now it is relatively prosperous, even surpassing the Zhu Ti Meng clan, but the branch is a branch, and the genealogy of the Jianning Meng clan still has to be gathered in the genealogy of the Zhu Ti Meng clan.

Seeing that Liu Yi was puzzled, Meng Yan explained: "The Meng family has lived in Nanzhong for a long time, and most of them intermarry with various ethnic groups, and now in this land of Nanzhong, in fact, the distinction between barbarians and Han people is not so clear, most barbarians have Han blood, but they are not recognized. ”

Liu Yi nodded, this phenomenon is actually not difficult to understand, there are few people in Nanzhong, and if the Han people want to survive here, it is impossible to fight with the barbarians, what threatens people's survival here is not the survival materials, but the living environment, and it is not a strange thing for the two races to intermarry, but so far, the barbarian women Liu Yi has seen are the kind of five big and three thick, burly and majestic type, the marriage between the two races, it will not be the Han men who were robbed at the beginning, right?

After gossiping in his heart about what kind of heart the two clans first intermarried many years ago, Liu Yi began to study the information provided by Meng Yan to himself.

Zhu Timeng's defection did give Liu Yi a lot of help, at least he had a more detailed understanding of Jianning's situation.

Yongshi and Meng's are the two major surnames in the entire Nanzhong land, but Meng's was later established in Jianning by Zhu Ti's Meng family's southward migration, which is not as powerful as Yong's, and Yonghong has mastered the copper mountain and is friendly with the barbarians, so now Jianning Meng's is a vassal of Yonghong.

However, with Meng Yan's defection, Jianning Meng's family can be regarded as the part that can be won over, as for why the wealthy family in Nanzhong is so rich, as I said before, through false tax declarations, deception, and earning a lot of price difference to strengthen itself, the Meng family is indeed the object that can be wooed, but Liu Yi has no intention of finding any glamorous reasons for the other party, and he was forced to say anything, including Zhu Ti Meng's family, which is basically the root cause of the long-term chaos in Nanzhong, and it is also the culprit that hinders the integration of various ethnic groups.

Politics is sometimes like this, the concept of good and evil does not apply here, it can be used by me, can bring benefits, is the fundamental reason for the cooperation between the two sides, or choose to win over or accept.

Of course, Liu Yi is not ready to cooperate with Meng Shi now, it makes no sense, win for a while first, and then talk about other things, if you don't show your muscles, even if you cooperate, the other party can choose to betray at any time.

"Tinghou!" Ma Tan rode his horse to Liu Yi's carriage, handed a roll of bamboo slips to Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "The latest news from Jianning, please take a look at it." ”

"Hmm." Liu Yi took the bamboo slip, unfolded it, and silently looked at the content on the bamboo slip, the handwriting was very small, and there was a lot of content recorded, roughly, everything after Lu Yuan met Yonghong was recorded.

"Huh, welcome back Liu Zhang?" Looking at the final content of the bamboo slip, Liu Yi shook his head and laughed: "One really dares to speak, and the other really dares to listen." ”

Basically, Yonghong has now contacted Meng Huo, and sent people to contact Qiqi, Yuewang and Yongchang Taishou, preparing to gather troops and horses to fight, under the banner of expelling Liu Bei and welcoming back Liu Zhang, which can be justified, and may be supported by some of Liu Zhang's former ministers in Shu.

Is it reasonable, there are still some, but the timing is wrong, if Jingzhou Jiangdong sneak attack Jingzhou, or later the Nanyang War, it can really pose a threat to Liu Bei, once Liu Bei has just won Shu, people's hearts are unstable, Liu Zhang's influence still exists to some extent.

But now, Liu Zhang has been sent to the public security for several years, and Liu Zhang's forces in the past either chose to be loyal to Liu Bei, or were excluded from the inner circle, and the hearts of the people in Shu are now also inclined to Liu Bei's side with the gradual improvement and implementation of the law.

Besides, the external environment has been relatively stable in the past two years, Cao Pi is busy stabilizing his regime, Liu Bei is busy preparing for the emperor, the two families have no idea, as the weakest party, Sun Quan naturally has no ability to go north or find Liu Bei to do things again, in this case, even if they really let them succeed, who will pay attention to Cao Pi and Sun Quan?

Strategy, if it is placed at the right time, it is indeed a good strategy, but what is the best plan in this world, it can be in line with the time of the day, the place should be favorable, and it is in line with the people's hearts, no matter how simple it is, it is also a clever plan, otherwise it is a good plan to forcibly use the trick.

"What do you think?" Liu Yi handed the bamboo slip to Ma Jian and asked with a smile.

"It's not timely." Ma Tan smiled and said: "But for now, I think that when the Yonghong has not yet gathered people, go down to Jianning first, and collect the people of Jianning, this place is the central place, once our army captures Jianning, it will be difficult for the enemy army to gather, and they can be broken individually!" ”

These are the land of the Han family, as long as the city is captured, it can be appeased by the people according to the old list of Zhang Bang, and the more headache is that Meng Shu also participated in this war, and has begun to go to Nanzhong to persuade all ethnic groups and gather barbarians to crusade, which is the biggest problem.

"That's right, then go down to Jianning first!" Liu Yi smiled and nodded when he heard this, if the opponent is those famous generals under Cao Cao, or the generals of Eastern Wu, Liu Yi will definitely not be so aggressive, he will choose the safest way to take it step by step, even if he loses the fighter, he will never rush forward, but the opponent obviously cannot reach this level.

Of course, it is not really to underestimate the enemy and relax his vigilance, but in terms of strategy, he chose relatively strong means to conquer the opponent.

Besides, Liu Yi has few people now, if he doesn't choose this method, when the opponent's army gathers up, even if it is a rabble, it will be very troublesome to deal with, and the casualties will be even more serious.

Meng Yan did not participate in the conversation between Liu Yi and Ma Yan, although Liu Yi did not avoid him, but he knew very well that Liu Yi did not trust him now, and with his qualifications, he was not qualified to participate in such a discussion before he showed his ability, but it was time to fight, which made Meng Yan a little excited.

Young people, especially those who are not wrong in asking themselves, who does not want to make contributions in these years? Meng Yan is a young man, so he naturally has such thoughts.

"Speed up the march!" After carefully reading the map, and following the guide repeatedly confirmed that there was no too difficult road to take in this section, Liu Yi began to order to speed up the march, since it is necessary to fight quickly, it is necessary to catch the opponent by surprise, and send someone to notify Master Zheng first, so that he can wait for the opportunity to leave Jianning, this shadow is quite easy to use, and now is not the time to appear, and it has to continue to hibernate.

……

In the direction of Jianning, although he knew that Liu Yi was coming, he didn't expect it to come so quickly, after all, the march of the army, from Zhu to Jianning, it would take more than a month to go, so during this time, Yonghong was more persuading the Jianning families to take out their private soldiers and participate in this major event related to the belonging of the entire Nanzhong.

At this time, nature will not be too gentle, it is naturally good to be willing to conspire for wealth and wealth, and those who are not willing to conspire for wealth and nobility are enemies, and it is normal for enemies to be cruel and cruel.

Taishou Mansion, Zheng Ang straightened his clothes, looked at Yonghong in front of him, with a resolute expression.

"Brother, you and I don't need to be like this." Yonghong tried to do the final persuasion, even if Zhengang is now a titular Taishou, but he is in the position of Taishou, which is a kind of righteousness, if Zhengang is willing to rise up with him, it will have a great inhibitory effect on the resistance of the people of Jianning, don't look at those wealthy families joining forces to set up Zhengang, but at this time, if Zhengang is willing to follow, those wealthy families will be easier to convince.

In the final analysis, they need a leading character, and this leader is not the one who actually makes you call the shots, but the one who can help them take the blame as the leader when they fail, even Yonghong also thinks like this, let alone others.

"Don't think!" Zhengang belongs to the kind of person who is really upright and upright, and pursues his beliefs to the end, in short, he is the kind of person who does not know how to be flexible, black and white, right is right, wrong is wrong, if it is in a peaceful place, it is a clean official, a good official, but in this chaotic place, it is obviously not enough to set things right, and it is easily set aside by the local wealthy family.

At this moment, I heard Yonghong say this, and said loudly: "In a certain life, you will live up to the king, your relatives, and the people, and you will only die, how can you be with such a traitor and rebel against the party?" ”

Yonghong's face is not good-looking, he naturally knows who Zhengang is, but at the moment, he does hope that Zhengang can join, but the facts are obviously not in line with his expectations.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Yonghong looked at Zhengang with gloomy eyes: "Brother Zheng's wife and children ...... family"

"Heh~" Zhengang sneered: "If you really dare to do this, have you ever thought that when he is defeated, what will happen to your wife and children?" ”

"How can I see that I will lose when I wait?" Yonghong snorted coldly.

"Not to mention that the wise men around the king are like rain, and the fierce generals are like clouds, just say that Liu Yi of Shaofu, swept Jingnan, defeated Cao Ren, beheaded Xiahou, Cao Hong, and the battle of Nanyang made Cao Cao retreat, such a person, how can a rat-eyed person like you contend with?" Zhengang said disdainfully, how can a group of local tyrants who can only be powerful in Nanzhong compete with this kind of character who has not been defeated in the world?

"Take it down!" Yonghong snorted coldly, and ordered someone to take Zhengang down to be executed, since the other party is unwilling to be together, there is only one way to die, as for Zhengang's family, Yonghong hesitated for a moment, and finally did not embarrass them, he was really worried that what Zhengang said would become true.
