Yue Fei took it in his hand and looked at it seriously.

Lu Budao: "Yizhou has twelve counties with a population of nearly 10 million, which is equivalent to the two large states of the Central Plains. The regular army I gave you was 250,000. You need to use them to garrison some important passes and towns such as Chengdu, Langzhong, Mianzhu Pass, Jiameng Pass, Jiange Pass, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job in relations with the barbarians in the southern and central regions. Guard against Cao Ren outside the Sword Pavilion Pass and Liu Bei who went to Xiliang. It is best to garrison the main force in the area of Fucheng and Sword Pavilion. It is convenient to rush to the aid of the Central Plains at any time. ”

"In addition, Yizhou has a large land and abundant grain production, so it should organize manpower development. Take some barren places and make use of them to grow food. At least be self-sufficient, right? ”

"Then there is the official road in Yizhou, you must build it well. Build a bridge where the bridge should be built, and dig the mountain that should be chiseled. I hope you will spend three years building two official roads. The first is from Chengdu to Yangpingguan. The second is from Chengdu to Fucheng. All expenses are borne by the household.... ”

Lu Bu roughly said the requirements.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Don't worry, the lord will strictly follow the instructions of the lord and do everything well." ”

"Hmm."

Lu Bu looked at Yue Fei with great appreciation, and said, "In a few days, I will return to the Central Plains." The military administration of the twelve counties of Yizhou is up to you. If there is anything you don't understand or are embarrassed about, go to the Military Aircraft Department, and you will have an answer. ”

"No."

After talking, Lu Bu took Yue Fei to the school field and announced that he would take over the Shu army.

Shu generals Zhang Ren, Jiangpu and others were originally going to be brought back to Shouchun, but Yue Fei interceded, and Lu Bu got off the donkey and arranged positions for Zhang Ren and Jiangpu in the Shu army.

Zhang Ren served as the deputy governor.

Jiang Pu is a general of the Chinese army.

In order for Yue Fei to carry out his work better in Shuzhong, and in order to strengthen his strength, Lu Bu decided to leave the Wudang Fei Army behind, and told the vulture bone to assist Yue Fei well.

"How do you intercede for the two of them?" Coming back from the school, Lu Bu was a little displeased and said, "I am going to bring them back to Shouchun and appoint them separately." Zhang Ren and Jiangpu have a very high prestige in the Shu army, and many generals are their old subordinates, you are a foreign general, even if you are a metropolitan governor, I am afraid that talking will not be effective for them. Are you sure you want to keep them? ”

"The last general knows the lord's worries. But the last general believes that Zhang Ren and Jiang Pu will not betray the lord. Yue Fei said.

"How do you know they won't betray me? The heart of defense is indispensable! Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "That's it." Before I leave, I will leave you with 30,000 elites, including Zang Ba's cavalry. These soldiers are veterans who have followed me for many years, and they are also the original new army, and they are extremely combative. Even if Zhang Ren and Jiangpu are bold enough to attack you, these 30,000 elites can win in your hands. There is also the Wudang Flying Army of the Vulture Bone, which is also an elite. The vulture is brave and unscrupulous, and has a straightforward temperament, as long as you are good to him and promote him more, he will definitely listen to you. ”

"My lord..."

Yue Fei said with a smile: "What you said seems that Zhang Ren and Jiangpu are about to rebel immediately." The lord might as well think about it, if they really want to rebel, before the fall of Yizhou, won't there be a chance? ”

"Again... These 30,000 elites are mostly soldiers from Xu and Yang. Leave them in Shu and leave their homeland, this.... ”

Lu Bu said: "I will explain it to them. When the world is decided, they will naturally return to the Central Plains. ”

"You have to know that the terrain of Yizhou is complex, and the population is difficult to count. It is not known whether those big families hid their private soldiers in the mountains. Liu Bei went to Xiliang, in case you persuade Zhang Ren and Jiangpu to rebel, you don't have trustworthy soldiers and horses in your hands, how can you restrain them? Only by leaving these 30,000 elites in Shuzhong can I rest assured. If you don't agree, I'll go and kill Zhang Ren and Jiang Pu now, so I won't have to worry about it. ”

"Don't..."

Yue Fei was a little speechless and responded: "Okay, the last general will listen to the lord." ”

Everything is arranged...

Lü Bu and Xu Shu led tens of thousands of new troops, out of Chengdu, along Jiange, Langzhong, Fucheng, and returned to Jingzhou. Then from Jingzhou to Yangzhou. The journey during this period has been very difficult. It can be reached in two months at the earliest.

Hebei and Zhou.

Taiyuan County.

Jinyang.

After months of hard fighting, Cao Cao successfully occupied Hedong, Hanoi, and Bingzhou, connecting them with Liangdu and Yanzhou. Since then, Cao Cao's territory, south to Hanzhong, north to Yanmen Pass, west to Dunhuang, along the Yellow River down to Xuzhou, into can annex Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, retreat can defend the Central Plains, the two capitals, its military strength, strategic position, has been stronger than the original several times.

In particular, the Qianli Taihang Mountains provided him with a natural barrier.

At this time, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were still attacking each other without knowing whether they were alive or dead, wanting to annex each other's territory and strengthen their own strength.

Jinyang Thorn History Mansion.

Cao Cao called Xun Yu and Sima Yi to discuss the matter of advancing into the two states.

"Zhongda, what do you think?"

Cao Cao glanced at Xun Yu and Sima Yi who were standing in front of him.

Sima Yi said: "After the King of Wei obtained the annexation of the state, his strength was even better than before. But Lü Bu also took Yizhou, and it is very likely that he will next declare war on the king of Wei. The King of Wei has no time to capture the two states of Jiyou, and Lu Bu will not sit idly by and watch the King of Wei attack. Therefore, just in case, the king of Wei should immediately prepare for war. Negotiate peace with Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. Formed an alliance with the Xiongnu and Xianbei. Deploy heavy troops to the Central Plains. ”

"You're right..."

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu again and said, "Wen Ruo, what do you think?" ”

"King Wei, the minister has received the news. After Liu Bei's defeat, he retreated to Yangping Pass, but disappeared outside Yangping Pass. Cao Ren speculated that Liu Bei was very likely to go to Xiliang. ”

"When did this come in?"

"Just now."

Sima Yi said: "In this way, Liu Bei wants to capture Xiliang, and then try to move later?!" ”

Cao Cao had an angry look on his face and roared: "This weaver and seller of mats has lost Yizhou and wants to attack me." ”

"King Wei, there are not many soldiers left behind in Xiliang. Ma Chao, the general under Liu Bei, has a good relationship with Qianghu, and he is afraid that he will get Qianghu's support. If we don't send troops to Xiliang to help, Xiliang will fall into Liu Bei's hands. Xun Yu said.

"Zhongda."

"Yes."

After Cao Cao was angry, there was a trace of sadness on his face, he looked at Sima Yi, and said, "You say I'm saving Xiliang?" Or not save? ”

"If King Wei asks like this, does it mean that he doesn't want to save Xiliang?"

"I'm asking you."

Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "The minister doesn't want to save it." ”

"Why?"

"Because Liu Bei is now a lost dog, he urgently needs a place to live and live. If the king of Wei wants to drive him to death, he will definitely fight to the death. We can win, but we will also lose our troops. Although there are ten counties in Xiliang, the population is sparse, and it is difficult to develop after Liu Bei conquers it. Even if he is given ten years, the number of troops will not exceed two hundred thousand. King Wei only needs to hold Tongguan, and after defeating Lu Bu, he will go back and solve Liu Bei's matter, isn't it easy? Xiliang is in the hands of Liu Bei, and there seems to be no difference between being in the hands of King Wei himself. ”

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Well, that's true. ”

Sima Yi said again: "The minister has another suggestion. The king of Wei could send an envoy to Xiliang to negotiate with Liu Bei, lend Xiliang to him, and set up a note. Align with him. When it comes to beating Lu Bu, he can also come in handy. Xiliang was lent to him by us, so it was not his. In the future, the prime minister will attack again, that is to take his own things, the soldiers are right, and the reason is correct! ”
