On the tenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Zhongping, Zhang Hong returned to Jiuquan from Budugen, and when Liu Bei learned that he had signed an alliance with Budugen, Liu Bei was overjoyed.

Zhang Hong was immediately appointed as the county guard of Xihai County, and then ordered to divide five counties in Xihai County, namely Xihai County, Yungu County, Juyan County, Yanchi County and Qinghai County.

and ordered Zhang Hong to first choose a site to build a market after he took office, and then the leader of the caravan, Cheng Hui, led the caravan to Xihai County, and all the proceeds from the future except for the necessary expenses will go to Xihai County, until the five counties are completed.

At the same time, he also informed Zhang Hong that Xihai County will not only have five counties in the end, but at this time, he is helpless, with the current people of Xihai County, he can't even use three counties, let alone five counties!

After that, Zhang Hong took the order and left, took a cadre of civil officials and went straight to Xihai County, and at the same time, the scout also took Liu Bei's order to the Western Regions to find Rigor and arrange trade with Rigor and the Western Regions.

And Jia Xu and Zhang Zhao were very uneasy when they learned that weapons, salt, iron and other national weapons were actually opened in the covenant, and they stayed behind after Zhang Hong and the others left.

"My lord, since ancient times, salt, iron, and weapons have been the artifacts of the country, why should such items be traded with Budugen, so as to strengthen the alien race, you must know that if it is not my race, its heart will be different!" Zhang Zhao took the lead in admonishing.

"It doesn't matter, although salt and grain can increase the number of people, as long as we control the quantity, there is no need to worry too much.

As for weapons, I will only trade the weapons and armor that have been eliminated by our army, and as for iron, I only plan to trade iron ore to him.

Generally speaking, I want to help Budugen fight against Kirby Neng, as long as Budugen and Kirby can always be at war, I will have no worries about the Central Plains, and the Central Plains will be unified, I still need to worry about Budu Genhu? ”

For Liu Bei's words, Zhang Zhao and Jia Xu both admired it. This kind of self-confidence is not something that ordinary people can have!

"Of course, the country's important weapons are not unlimited, and I will explain this problem to Rigor and Zhang Hong, so you don't need to worry." In the end, Liu Bei also gave the two of them a reassuring pill!

Just when Liu Bei and others were discussing the matter of the West Sea, they thought that the court's reward for Liu Bei had come down. It turned out that Liu Bei had all appeared in the imperial court after attacking the three counties of Dunhuang, Jiuquan and Xihai.

And Emperor Ling of Han was also very happy to see that Liu Bei had received three counties in a row in just one and a half months, so he sent this edict of commendation. However, there is indeed no substantial reward, and Liu Bei is only allowed to temporarily govern the three counties.

Liu Bei was also quite happy about this result, at least there was an edict, but Liu Bei's governance of the three counties was also justified.

………………………

In February of the sixth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling of Han fell seriously ill. The edict appointed Dong Zhuo as the governor of the state, and asked him to hand over the troops to the commander of Huangfu Song. Dong Zhuo refused to obey the order.

Huangfu Song's nephew, Huangfu Li, thought that Dong Zhuo was disobedient and treacherous, and the crime was unforgivable, and strongly persuaded Huangfu Song to raise troops to fight.

Huangfu Song said: "Although Dong Zhuo is guilty of disobeying orders, I am also responsible. It's better to play it in a bright and bright way, and let the court deal with this matter. ”

So the matter was played, and the court blamed Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo was even more resentful of Huangfu Song, and when he fought the kingdom before, Dong Zhuo's suggestions were not adopted by Huangfu Song twice in a row.

So the new hatred and the old hatred, but Dong Zhuo hates Huangfu Song to the core!

After Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, took office, he sent envoys to the Xianbei tribe, told them the benefits, and ordered them to behead Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, and hang a heavy reward.

Qiu Liju and the others were very happy when they heard that Liu Yu had come to Youzhou, and they sent interpreters to meet Liu Yu and surrender automatically. Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun fled to the outside of the Saiwai, and all the remaining subordinates surrendered or fled.

Liu Yu played a concert and requested that all the troops collected be dismissed, leaving only Gongsun Zhan, the captain of the corporal corps, who led 10,000 infantry and cavalry, and stationed in Youbeiping.

In March, Zhang Chun's protégé Wang Zheng assassinated Zhang Chun and took Zhang Chun's head to meet Liu Yu. Gongsun Chan is determined to destroy the Wuhuan tribe by force, and Liu Yu wants to use Ende and Xinyi to recruit them, so there is a conflict between the two.

In the summer, in April, there was a solar eclipse again, and the entire Han Dynasty, from the emperor to the people, was also panicked.

In the same month, Emperor Ling of Han deposed Taiwei Ma Ri. Then he sent envoys to Youzhou to appoint Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the captain and named the Marquis of Rongqiu.

Due to the serious illness of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, He Jin's power grew stronger and stronger, Jian Shuo was afraid of He Jin, and at the same time he hated the general He Jin, and persuaded Emperor Ling together with all the permanent servants, saying that Huangfu Song had fought for a long time without success, so it was better to send the widow He Jin to the west to conquer Han Sui, and Emperor Ling agreed.

After He Jin secretly learned of the eunuch's conspiracy, Shangjuan requested that Yuan Shao be sent to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to mobilize troops, and then waited for Yuan Shao to carry out the western expedition after the army was over, so as to delay the time of the western expedition!

At the beginning, Emperor Ling died several sons in a row, so after Empress He gave birth to her son Liu Wei, she was sent to the Taoist Shi Ziyi's house to raise, so she was called "Shi Hou". Wang Meisheng gave birth to a son, Liu Xie, who was personally raised by the Empress Dowager Dong and was known as "Dong Hou".

The ministers asked Emperor Ling to make a prince. Emperor Ling thought that Liu Wei was frivolous and lacked prestige, and wanted to establish Liu Xie, but hesitated.

At this time, Emperor Ling was seriously ill and entrusted Liu Xie to Jian Shuo. Bingchen (11th), Emperor Ling died in the Jiade Palace. Jian Shuo was in the palace at the time, and wanted to kill He Jin first, and then make Liu Xie the emperor.

He sent someone to pick up He Jin to discuss matters with him, and He Jin immediately took a car to go. Jian Shuo's Sima Pan Yin had already had a friendship with He Jin, and gestured with his eyes when greeting him.

He Jin was shocked, galloped back to the military camp under his control, and led the army into the official residences of the counties in the capital, claiming that he was sick and would no longer enter the palace.

On the 13th of Wuwu (13th), the prince Liu Wei ascended the throne, when he was 14 years old. Honorifically called his mother, Empress He, the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager He presided over the government in the court, granted amnesty to the world, and changed the name of the year to Guangxi.

Liu Xie, the emperor's younger brother, was the king of Bohai, and he was only nine years old at the time. The later general Yuan Kui was appointed as the Taifu, and he and the general He Jin jointly presided over the affairs of Shangshu.

……………………………………

When the news of the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty reached Liu Bei's military camp, Liu Bei was ecstatic in his heart, and then recruited Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today, it is reported that the Holy Lord will go west with a crane, and be prepared to mourn, the first emperor has the grace of knowing the encounter, and entrusted the Western Regions with important tasks, such as thieves are everywhere today, but the first emperor is dead, and Bei will follow the will of the first emperor, recover the mountains and rivers, and maintain the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bei's words were full of tears, and everyone couldn't persuade them for a long time, so they stopped just now when they fainted from crying.

After Liu Bei woke up, he said to everyone again: "On that day, the emperor ordered to prepare for the recovery of Liangzhou's hometown, and now Bei has been in Liangzhou for several months. ”

But Liu Bei knew that the time to capture Liangzhou had come, so he asked everyone to take Liangzhou quickly, and brought Liangzhou under his rule!

"Lord, the scout has already reported that Ma Teng and Han Sui change their guards every day, and Gong Sizhi may be able to use a strategy of discord, so that he can defeat the two-person alliance in one battle." Chen Gong saw that Liu Bei had such feelings for the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, so he believed in Liu Bei's loyalty.

"Oh, how do you do a serial trick?" Liu Bei was interested.

"First, when Ma Teng defends us, the lord can send troops to hide the battle, and when Han Sui defends us, the two armies will be safe.

Second, the envoy was sent to see Han Sui, and he said that as long as he killed the lord of Ma Teng, he would withdraw from the army, so that the two of them had a gap.

Third, send people to infiltrate Han Sui's camp, but Ma Teng must be informed.

Fifth, the lord can write a handwritten letter to Han Sui, but the content of the letter is empty. With such five steps, Ma Teng will be dissatisfied with Han Sui, and then as long as he uses the troops properly, he can break it in one battle! ”

Chen Gong talked slowly, and Jia Xu, who was standing on the side, also nodded again and again after hearing about this plan, but he also looked at Chen Gong differently.

"Lord, what Gongtai said is good, if this plan is successful, it should be decided in a battle, and it is suggested that you can send a gift to Han Sui, so as to enhance Ma Teng's heart of prevention!" Jia Xu wouldn't let Chen Gong be beautiful, so he opened his mouth and added.

"This is very good, this matter will be traded to the public station, and the public station can select suitable scouts from the whole people to complete this matter, and I will wait for the good news of the public station."

Since Jia Xu also agreed to this plan, Liu Bei did not hesitate to do so, and directly handed over the matter to Chen Gong to handle.

And Chen Gong was ordered to deal with the matter.
