From Zhu to Jianning, there are more than 400 miles away, if the horse is fast, do not consider the rest of the war horse, but the horse also has to rest, feed the forage, otherwise in the second half of the fat loss is terrible, can not run at all, plus the road is difficult to travel, and when Lu Yuan and the two arrived in Jianning, it has been half a month.

When Lu Yuan arrived, Yonghong was entertaining guests, and when he heard that Lu Yuan was coming, Yonghong was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked Lu Yuan to come in and ask.

Lu Yuan came in with Master Zheng and was invited into the side hall, Yonghong asked people to entertain guests instead of him, and on the grounds that he was not strong enough to drink, he retreated into the side hall to come to Lu Yuan.

"Taishou is not stationed in Zhuti, why did he come to Jianning?" Seeing Lu Yuan's dusty appearance, his face was even more haggard, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Zhengli, forgive me, the situation is urgent, and I don't have time to freshen up." Lu Yuan said bitterly: "Where the offense is, Brother Haiwang Zhengli is not strange. ”

"What happened?" Yonghong asked.

"Juti...... Lost. Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.

"Oh?" Yonghong didn't care when he heard this, some time ago the barbarians on Zhu Ti's side made a lot of trouble, and he also heard about it, now it seems that Zhu Ti must have been captured by those barbarians, this kind of thing, although it is troublesome, but the barbarians, they will not govern the city if they give them a pass, and they will naturally go back, but Lu Yuan is also his own person, since he has come here, Yonghong thought about sending someone to negotiate with those barbarians, let them go back, Lu Yuan went back to continue to be a taishou, reported to the state capital, and beautified the paperwork, Coupled with some relationship operations, Lu Yuan, the Taishou, can still be kept.

After all, the cooperation with Lu Yuan is very smooth, and if someone is replaced as Zhu Ti's Taishou, it will take some effort to re-point it, and it may not be able to ensure that the other party is of the same mind as himself.

"I have some friendship with the people of Namu Ke Dongtou, and I will send someone to talk to him later, you will rest in Jianning for a while these days, don't worry." Yonghong smiled and said with relief.

Mu Kedong is a big clan in Zhu Ti, and is respectfully called the patriarch, but in the eyes of Yonghong, he can only be regarded as a head, after all, the group of four or five thousand can only be dominated by the barbarians close to the Han gathering place, the real barbarians are tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands, and the worst one is seven or eight thousand, so that is qualified to let Yonghong call the cave master, the leader of this kind of small tribe, said that there is a friendship, that is to promote the other party.

There are few barbarian people, but it is also relative, the entire Nanzhong region, thousands of miles longitudinal and horizontal, such a big place, if those barbarians gather, it is difficult to say millions, but hundreds of thousands are always there, if it is really a tribe of tens of thousands of people, Yonghong also needs to consider the attitude and influence of the other party, but it is only a tribe of four or five thousand people, and the problem is simple.

"That's not the case!" Lu Yuan was stunned for a long time, before he reacted, knowing that Yonghong would be wrong, and quickly shook his head, Zhu Ti's situation is complicated but not complicated, Liu Yi entered Nanzhong, did not go to the county first, but chose to stay with the barbarians in Nanzhong, helped cut down trees and cultivated fields, and collected people's hearts, this has been prepared for more than half a year, and Lu Yuan doesn't know how to do it at the specific time, but he knows that Liu Yi has accepted people's hearts, and the barbarians around Zhu Ti are now listening to him, and even the barbarians rebelled, and Liu Yi was behind it, Then his roots in Zhuti were cut by Liu Yi, even if he went back now, it would be useless.

This long paragraph, it's a long time to say, Yonghong didn't care very much at first, but listening to it, he heard the taste, Liu Yi came to Nanzhong this time, maybe not for mining at all, or not just for mining, he wants the whole Nanzhong, this is what Liu Bei meant, and it also means that his unscrupulous days of being the emperor of Nanzhong in the past will be tested, Liu Bei obviously can't allow him to dominate Nanzhong, so Liu Yi came.

The other party's target is not just Tongshan, but him or the entire interest group centered on him, which can be seen from Liu Yi's simple uprooting of Zhu Ti's big families, this is a ruthless master, not as rumored.

The staff members around him also looked solemn, and looked at Yonghong and opened his mouth, but Lu Yuan was here, and some words were not easy to say directly, so he could only swallow the words back.

"Brother Zhengli, for the sake of today's plan, we should take the lead!" After a pause, Lu Yuan looked at Yonghong and said solemnly.

"Oh?" Yonghong's expression moved, and he looked at Lu Yuan and said, "What's the explanation?" ”

"Zhu Bao is too guarded, and Yue Wei is too guarded by Gao Ding, who has always cherished the old master, that Liu Bei has no reason to seize the foundation of the same sect, and has long been dissatisfied, and now that Liu Bei is aggressive, why don't I raise the flag and raise an incident, invite loyal and righteous people in Shuzhong, expel Liu Bei, and welcome back Ji Yugong! As long as we are of the same heart, the loyal and righteous people in Shu will rise up and respond! ”

"This ......" Yonghong hesitated a little, in this way, it was not just as simple as local separation, but declared war with Liu Bei.

In recent years, Liu Bei has become more and more powerful, and it is okay to be the king and hegemon in this place, but if he really lets him go out of Sichuan, he is a little lacking in confidence.

"Brother Zhengli has a reputation in this Nanzhong land, and the barbarians in Nanzhong are all headed by Brother Zhengli, as long as Brother Zhengli ascends to the top and shouts, gather 100,000 barbarian soldiers, why not be afraid of Liu Yi, and ask for help from Dongwu and Cao Wei!" Lu Yuan could see that Yonghong was moved, and hurriedly persuaded.

He has no way to retreat now, Liu Yi has his evidence in his hands, even if he wants to surrender, the evidence in Liu Yi's hands is enough for him to die ten times, since there is no way to retreat, then the rest of the things are simple, he can only choose this way to go to the dark.

Yonghong's staff frowned when he heard this: "The prince of the palace is wrong, although the head of the family is faithful and righteous in Nanzhong, but those barbarians may not dare to respond to such things, not to mention that the king of Hanzhong has been fighting in the south and north for many years, and we will start an incident and may not be able to win." ”

This is almost equivalent to rebellion, if those barbarians lose, they can hide back in the mountains and continue to escape, but if they lose, it will be all over, and everything existing will come to naught.

Now different from history, Liu Bei not only did not experience the defeat of Yiling, but in two successive wars to the best of the land of Jingshu, the mood of the nouveau riche is also precipitating little by little, and now Liu Bei's group is developing towards a standardized political group, the national strength is growing, and the deterrent effect on Nanzhong is still there.

Lu Yuan shook his head and said: "But now it's not whether we can win, but Liu Bei didn't give me a way to live, then Liu Yi's purpose this time is Tongshan, Jianning, and this Nanzhong barbarian, if these are given to him, Mr. thinks, Brother Zhengli still has today's wealth?" ”

"This ......" the staff did not know how to answer for a while.

If they choose to compromise, Tongshan, as well as the interests they have now, will have to give up, without these, Yonghong is the meat on the chopping board, but if you choose not to compromise, the risk is too high, making people in a dilemma.

"Liu Yi has already mobilized soldiers and horses, and even recruited all ethnic groups in Zhuti to train troops in Zhuti, even if Brother Zhengli is unwilling, then Liu Yi's army may come soon, and I wonder if Brother Zhengli is willing to give up Tongshan at that time?" Lu Yuan stood up, bowed to Yonghong and said: "It seems that this time is a mistake, if Brother Zhengli is embarrassed, he will sacrifice the head on his neck in the next wish, and Brother Zhengli can send it to Liu Yi, maybe he will have the opportunity to delay!" ”

"How can you say such a thing!" Yonghong glared at the staff, grabbed Lu Yuan and said, "It's just that this matter is very important, let me think about it for a few days!" ”

"Good!" Lu Yuan nodded, and said stiffly: "The head on the neck is here, when Brother Zhengli wants it, just come and get it." ”

"Hugh is going to say so." Yonghong said solemnly: "Although Yonghong is not a hero, he can't ignore morality in vain, Brother Lu only lives here, as long as Yonghong is still here in Jianning for a day, no one dares to touch Brother Zhengli." ”

"Thank you!"

Yonghong didn't say anything more, there was still a banquet outside, and after saying goodbye to Lu Yuan, he left with his staff.

"Head of the family, don't recklessly agree to this matter." After leaving the side hall, the staff whispered to Yonghong.

"Of course I know." Yonghong nodded, glanced at the direction of the hall, and frowned: "It's just that what Lu Yuan said is not unreasonable, is it true that I will give away this great business?" ”

Even if this is Liu Bei's territory nominally, he is the real lord of Nanzhong, not to mention that Tongshan still has the interests of the barbarians in his hands.

The staff nodded, in the current situation, there may still be a chance to fight, but if you don't fight, I'm afraid Yonghong's ending will not be too good.

"It's just that even if you unite Zhu Bao and Gaoding, you may not be able to win, and the soldiers of the three counties are only 30,000, even if you ask for soldiers and horses from each household, you can gather up to 50,000 troops, how can you fight against the army in Shuzhong?"

Up to now, they don't know how many soldiers and horses Liu Yi has in his hands, but since Liu Bei has the heart to engage in Nanzhong, there must not be too many troops.

"Do you remember that Meng Huo?" Yonghong's heart moved, and he suddenly looked at his staff and said: "This person is the leader of the Yi tribe, and he is quite powerful in Nanzhong, if he can help him, he may be able to fight, but how can he agree to join forces with us and persuade all the tribes to help me?" ”

When the staff heard this, they pondered for a while, then looked at Yonghong and said, "Family master, there is a plan, maybe it will work." ”

"Oh?" When Yonghong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Come quickly." ”

"Whoa!" The staff sorted out their thoughts for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The Southern Barbarian tribes don't have much favor with the King of Hanzhong, and the reason is that the taxes have been too heavy over the years. ”

The reason for this, they want to account for the majority, Liu Bei did not levy heavy taxes on Nanzhong, on the contrary, he had to invest money in Nanzhong every year, but this pot was thrown to Liu Bei by them, which also caused all ethnic groups in Nanzhong to have a generally low opinion of Liu Bei and even rejected it.

"It's better to increase the tax again, pass it on to the king of Hanzhong, and then inform all the tribes that the king of Hanzhong sent soldiers and horses to suppress it in order to prevent them from rebelling, which should make all the tribes in Nanzhong hate the same enemy! At that time, the head of the family will raise his arms and shout, why worry about no one responding? ”

Hearing this, Yonghong nodded and said, "Then someone will go and invite Meng Shu to discuss major matters!" ”

"Whoa!"
