Li Yu, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou got together to discuss how to guard against Cao Cao.

In the end, the four unanimously decided to send Zhang Ji and Fan Chou to the Tiger Prison Pass, and send another 30,000 troops to the Tiger Prison Pass.

In this way, there are less than 60,000 troops in the Tiger Prison Pass, so it can also guard against Cao Cao!

At the same time, the four of them also unanimously decided to send a large amount of grain and grass to the vanity who was far away in Hangu Pass, and sent an edict from the Son of Heaven to allow Xu Rong to recruit troops on his own! The only requirement is for Xu Rong to resist Liu Bei!

Since Dong Zhuo was killed, in less than a year, Xu Rong has been stationed in Hangu Pass, without leading troops back to Luoyang, nor taking refuge with anyone!

Every time the grain and grass were in an emergency, Xu Rong wrote a letter to ask for grain and grass, but because they needed to rely on Xu Rong to block Liu Bei, Guo Yan and the four of them did not lack Xu Rong's grain and grass, but it only met the amount of about 30,000 soldiers!

However, this time, Xu Rong obtained a large amount of grain and grass, and obtained an edict from the Son of Heaven to allow the army, but Xu Rong began to hesitate! Thinking about life to be precise!

In the past few days, Xizuo has reported that Liu Bei has moved his place to Chang'an two months ago, and someone has begun to repair the Chang'an Palace.

And a few days ago, Liu Bei still returned to Chang'an from Liangzhou, and led tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people into the Chang'an area!

All these signs indicate that Liu Bei will attack Hangu Pass again in the near future.

Dong Zhuo was here before, Xu Rong was grateful to Dong Zhuo and kept the letter to Guguan, but now, Dong Zhuo is dead, Xu Rong began to think about who to keep the letter to Guguan?

For the Son of Heaven? Now Liu Bei wants to attack Hangu Pass, saying that there is no secret edict from the Son of Heaven, Xu Rong still doesn't believe it, and attacking Luoyang without an edict is a rebellion, even if the current Son of Heaven is a puppet!

For Li Yu and Guo Yan? Xu Rong felt that this was impossible, how could a stupid person like Li Rong and Guo Yan be worthy of his Xu Rong's allegiance?

For yourself? With only one pass, there are no people under the rule, and there is no money in hand, so what can you use to compete with others? So it's unrealistic.

Moreover, during this time, there were not a few people who came to Hanguguan to ask to see Xu Rong.

Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about it, Nanyang Yuan Shu sent his advisor Yan Xiang to see Xu Rong.

As soon as Yan Xiang saw Xu Rong, he expressed his intention, but it was Yuan Shu who wanted to recruit Xu Rong as his responsibility. and is willing to give half of his military horses to Xu Rong's command.

Gold and silver treasures, cloth treasures are completely at Xu Rong's choice! However, Xu Rong was unmoved, and replied to Yan Xiang that he needed to think about one or two!

And during this time, Yan Xiang has been back and forth three or four times!

Similarly, Cao Cao also sent his subordinates to persuade Xu Rong, as long as Xu Rong was willing to submit to Cao Cao, and sent troops from Hangu Pass to attack Li Yu and Guo Yan before and after Cao Cao!

In fact, Xu Rong still had some intentions for Cao Cao's solicitation, but considering that Li Yu, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou had nearly 200,000 troops.

And Cao Cao only has an army of more than 100,000 people, and he may not be the opponent of Li Yu, Guo Yan and others! If it is really no match for Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, Xu Rong's 30,000 army may not be able to help much!

And Liu Yan in Yizhou, Kong Ling and Sun Ce in Yuzhou also sent envoys, but these people Xu Rong didn't pay attention to, and the far water couldn't save the near fire!

It's just that Liu Bei, who is closest to Xu Rong, didn't make any movement at all!

And after Liu Bei arranged all the defense and government affairs of Ningzhou, he directly led the army and the captives and their families totaling 300,000 before arriving in Chang'an after two months!

Then, according to Zhang Zhao's suggestion, Liu Bei placed the captured soldiers and their families on the plateau in the six counties of Wudu, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Zuo Fufeng and Right Fengyi, so as to enrich the population of the six counties!

After Liu Bei led a group of generals and ministers to Chang'an, he held a military and political meeting!

"Everyone, the Son of Heaven previously summoned me to lead the army to attack Hangu Pass to relieve the Son of Heaven's predicament, so I rushed back to Chang'an directly after the Battle of Ningzhou!

Zigang, Zitian, Wenhe, what have been the recent movements in Luoyang and Hanguguan? How much is the strength of the army? Liu Bei said!

"My lord, now that the entire seven counties of Yongzhou have entered a stable state, the 50,000 army that was previously warned has been well trained because there has been no war in the past year.

At the same time, due to the stable policy of governance and the fact that there was no war throughout the year, there was no sign of the people fleeing to Hanzhong.

Also, the counties of Yongzhou. As well as all the literary and martial arts academies in Chang'an City, the construction was also completed during the year, and students have already begun to be enrolled.

All school-age children in the seven counties of Yongzhou have entered the academy.

Finally, according to the orders of the lord, the Luoyang Palace has begun to be repaired, and it is expected that the repair will be completed in a year, and the Son of Heaven's bedroom and the council hall will be repaired! Zhang Hong gave a general introduction to the situation in Yongzhou!

"So, very good, this year, hard work! Order Wang Lang to send my mentors Lu Zhi and Cai Yong from the Western Regions to Chang'an, and appoint them as the deans of the Martial Arts Academy of Chang'an Academy! After finishing speaking, Liu Beiyou turned his gaze to Tian Yu and Jia Xu!

"Lord, at present, the military and government in Luoyang City are all handled by Li Yu and Guo Yan, but Zhang Ji and Fan Chou do not have much power!

And now the four of them are in charge of an army of 200,000, although most of them are young and strong in the new army, but their combat power should not be underestimated!

The most important thing is that although Li Yu and Guo Yan control the Son of Heaven, they are not too harsh on the people, so there is no shortage of grain, grass and military salaries! Tian Yu said out of class.

"It's true that this bone is indeed difficult to gnaw, but it's not just that we have to attack, Cao Cao in the east will definitely not be idle!" Liu Bei said.

"Lord, Cao Cao's new defeat will not necessarily involve him in the conflict between the Son of Heaven and Li Guo at this time, right?" Tian Yu said with some hesitation!

"No, even if there is a new defeat, but with Cao Mengde's temperament, he will inevitably attack the Tiger Prison Pass and save the Son of Heaven!" Liu Bei said with a smile.

"However, even if Cao Cao doesn't participate, we have to fight! How is Xu Rong in Hangu Seki? Liu Bei asked again!

"Xu Rong in Hangu Pass failed to enter the system of Guo Yan and Li Yu, but was stationed in Hangu Pass alone. However, Li Yu and Guo Yan are not short of grain and grass, Xu Rong!

Moreover, Xu also believes that Xu Rong should be a person who can be fought for, I wonder if the lord needs to send someone to Xu Rong? When Jia Xu saw Liu Bei asking, he opened his mouth and replied!

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, I already know the situation in Hanguguan and Luoyang, and this time I will bring back 130,000 prisoners.

Order: Select the elite from the captives and integrate them into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, bringing the total number of the two armies to 25,000; Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the first army, and Zhang Liao and Naduo led the first army!

Zhang Ren was ordered to lead the Shence army, and then selected two armies from the captives to join the Shence army, with Ma Teng as the deputy general.

Ordered Zhao Yun to rebuild the Flying Tiger Army, select the backbone from each army, be a grassroots general in the army, and then select two sergeants from the prisoners to meet the 25,000 army! And ordered Wen to be hired as a deputy general!

The rest of the old and weak captives were all transformed into the people of Yongzhou, and the policy should be like the people of the Han Dynasty! Liu Bei ordered!

In this way, Liu Bei gathered 150,000 troops in Chang'an and Tongguan, but because nearly half of them were soldiers, their combat strength was worrying, and they practiced day and night!

After Liu Bei arranged a number of important military and political affairs, Liu Bei secretly infiltrated Luoyang to communicate with the Son of Heaven, and agreed with the Son of Heaven to launch an attack on Hangu Pass after the year!

Then Liu Bei returned to Chang'an's home, and at home, Cai Yong, Zhao Yu and Liu Feng were already waiting for Liu Bei!

Recently, Liu Bei and Cai Yan and others have gathered less and left more, and this time they attacked Ningzhou, it was more than three months since Liu Bei left, and Cai Yan and Zhao Yu's bellies were already quite big!
