Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were on their way to Anxi County, and Zhang Fei only felt aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.

Not only did he experience the three Liu Yu brothers, but the most important thing was that the angry eldest brother Liu Bei only got the position of a small county lieutenant, and he himself didn't get any position, and he was still a white person, which was a blow to Zhang Fei, who was also quite ambitious.

"I've lived for so many years, and I've never been so aggrieved." Zhang Fei loves to whine as always.

Liu Bei comforted: "Brother Xian, don't be impatient, the chaos in the world has just begun, and it will get better in the future." ”

Unlike Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, who were melancholy and aggrieved all the way, Liu Yu, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun brothers were much more relaxed, not only did they hold the duties of a county guard, but they were also followed by 10,000 elite troops, as well as hundreds of carts of grain, grass and property, etc., to the top, as long as the three brothers were willing, they would soon be able to expand the army to 20,000 or even more.

"Big brother, Yun doesn't understand anything." Zhao Yun said to Liu Yu.

"Zilong, speak up." Liu Yu said with a smile.

"Since the eldest brother has already sent so many goods and ten permanent servants, why did he only ask for Shangyong County instead of other counties that are more wealthy?" Zhao Yun was puzzled, in fact, Guan Yu was also puzzled, although Shangyong was a county, it was located in a remote area, and it only had five counties, with a population of less than 100,000, it was just a barren small county, and there seemed to be such a large county, with a population of hundreds of thousands, which was several times that of Shangyong County.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "The two virtuous brothers don't know, although Brother Wei has a name in His Majesty, and has sent a lot of money and ten permanent servants to help, but after all, Brother Wei was only a white body a year ago, if you ask for such a middle county or a large county, wouldn't you be insatiable, and the chance of success is very small, and it is enough to be mediocre." ”

Liu Yu continued: "And the two virtuous brothers only know one of them but do not know the other, Shangyong County seems to be located in a remote area, the population is not large, but in fact, Shangyong is surrounded by mountains on both sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the east is Weixing County, the west is Xincheng County, both counties are generally remote and barren with Shangyong, the local powerful forces are far less powerful than other large counties, and are not valued by other magnates, when the time comes, we will annex the two counties, and then the three counties will be combined, there are also seventeen or eighteen counties, no worse than those large counties. ”

Hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were already stunned.

Zhao Yun was shocked: "Annexing other counties, is it possible that the eldest brother wants to rebel against the imperial court?" ”

Liu Yu shook his head, he couldn't let Guan Yu and Zhao Yun misunderstand, he explained: "The two virtuous brothers still remember what Brother Wei once said, the day when the Yellow Turban was pacified was the time when the group of heroes rose, how did the two virtuous brothers look at Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others?" ”

Guan Yu thought for a while and said, "They all have the image of a hero. ”

"The second brother has a unique vision, what he sees is good, Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian and others are all heroes, as soon as they have the opportunity, they will definitely desperately expand their territory and power, and the rising trend is unstoppable."

"Big brother, even if they are disobedient, will the court let them do whatever they want?" Zhao Yundao.

Liu Yu shook his head, Zhao Yun was only twenty-two years old, still a little tender, he said: "Your Majesty is critically ill, I am afraid that he will die in a month, the prince has not been established, the queen and the general He Jin and other relatives must want to establish the eldest son of the emperor Liu Wei born to the queen as the emperor, and the eunuchs such as the ten permanent servants are often enemies with the general He Jin and the queen, and the relationship with the queen is not good, and the relationship with the queen is not good, and the queen mother also has a bad relationship with the He family, and the ten permanent servants and the queen mother will jointly want to support the motherless second son Liu Xie as the emperor, and the two sides fight to the death, Regardless of which side wins in the end, the court is in chaos. ”

"Originally, the imperial court ordered the counties and counties to recruit troops and horses to exterminate the Yellow Turbans, and countless large and small warlords and powerful forces have been formed in the world, and the original imperial court was unable to suppress them, and the imperial court was in chaos, and these countless large and small warlords and powerful forces that had risen in the Yellow Turban Rebellion immediately became a country within a country, and it was inevitable to attack and annex each other, we did not attack others, expand our own power and territory, and one day we would also be attacked and annexed by others, and the Han dynasty was full of holes in front of us." Liu Yu sighed, and his face was even more distressed.

Hearing Liu Yu's analysis of the general trend of the world like this, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were completely shocked.

After easing down, Liu Yu's eyes flashed sharply, and he looked at Guan Yu and Zhao Yundao: "Two virtuous brothers, the chaos in the world is just around the corner, but I am willing to compete with my brother in the world and help the Han family!" ”

Zhao Yun's blood was boiling, and he said solemnly: "Yun is willing to listen to the eldest brother's dispatch and help the Han family." ”

Guan Yu was also enthusiastic, and said solemnly: "Yu is also willing to listen to the eldest brother's dispatch and support the Han family with the eldest brother and the third brother." ”

Liu Yu laughed: "Okay! Good! With the help of two virtuous brothers, why worry about not being able to achieve great things. ”

Of course, Liu Yu's strategy is not only Shangyong, Xincheng, and Weixing counties. Soon after, Dong Zhuo was going to lead the army into Beijing under the edict of the general He Jin, and when the time came under the scourge of Dong Zhuo, the young emperor Liu Wei was deposed, and Liu Xie succeeded to the throne, and then the princes of the Eighteenth Road asked for Dong, the capital Luoyang, and the capital Chang'an was destroyed in the war one after another, and the Han court completely collapsed, and no one put the orders of the court in their eyes.

Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou in Hebei have Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu, and Yuan Shao. Yanzhou, Yuzhou, etc. have Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, which are all strong people, plus Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Liu Dai, Kong Rong, etc., and Liu Bei, the catfish in the troubled waters, is not easy, and the prosperous land of the Central Plains will be chaotic, although Liu Yu now has 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the strength is still too weak, and he can't participate in the competition for the time being.

Liu Yu has already envisioned his own development path.

Shangyong is around Weixing and Xincheng two counties, the land of the three counties is based on Yizhou Daba Mountain, there are a few barbarians living together, barren and the population is not much, although it belongs to the sphere of influence of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and Liu Biao's power is also very strong, but Liu Biao only takes Jingzhou's most prosperous Xiangyang, Jiangxia, Jiangling as the core and sticks to himself, not to mention the barren Shangyong, Xincheng, Weixing three counties, even Nanyang, Changsha did not give Yuan Shu and Sun Jian eyes did not blink, history, until Liu Biao died of illness, Liu Biao did not pay attention to Shangyong, Xincheng, Various forces in the three counties such as Wei Xing.

Moreover, Liu Biao's Han family has a very strong concept of kinship, otherwise he would not have sheltered the down-and-out Liu Bei brothers, and finally let Liu Bei rise and grow again with Liu Biao's protection, so that there was the battle of Chibi later, the attack on Yizhou, and the three points of the world.

Liu Yu is now also the 'identity' of the Han clan, he can also befriend Liu Biao in such an identity, when the time comes, as long as Liu Biao does not attack him, the little power in Xincheng and Weixing counties is not his opponent at all.
