State, South Central.

Nanzhong is actually the place in the south of Yizhou, and Lushui is the place south of the Jinsha River, which is now the Yunnan-Guizhou area, which can be regarded as Nanzhong.

Although Nanzhong County is the territory of Yizhou and the land of the Han Dynasty, because many places in Nanzhong of the Han Dynasty are unopened rainforest areas and sparsely populated, such a place can only be regarded as a barbaric place in the eyes of the Central Plains people. Therefore, although Nanzhong is on the territory of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty basically did not send people to manage it, and the current Nanzhong is actually in a state of autonomy.

The Nanzhong region is inhabited not only by barbarians, but also by many Han Chinese. Generally speaking, the Han people lived in a few cities, while the Nanban people lived in the mountains and forests.

Most of the so-called Taishou in the southern and central counties are the children of some local scholars or families. Because the power of the imperial court cannot extend here at all, in Nanzhong, these so-called taishou are the local emperors of the soil, who hold the power of life and death.

For hundreds of years, Nanzhong rebelled several times, but they were all pacified, and now Liu Bei is in the north to attack Yongzhou, worried that the Nanban will rebel, so he ordered Li Hui to guard Jianning and the governor of Nanzhong military.

In fact, at this time, Liu Bei's control over Nanzhong was limited to the central and northern parts of Zhuti and Jianning. As for the rest of Yongchang, Yunnan, Yue, Xinggu, and the southern part of Jianning, they were not under the control of Shu.

Yongchang County, the southwesternmost county, covers the most extensive area, but it is also the place with the largest number of barbarians.

The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and it has always been in a state of autonomy, and some of the great families of the barbarians and the Han people divide their own spheres of influence, and the Han people take the two great families of Yong and Lu as the leader, and the barbarians are naturally several barbarian kings.

Originally, the barbarians were divided into various tribes and scattered in the mountains and forests. However, in recent years, there has been a figure among the barbarians, that is, Meng Huo, after several years of exhibition, Meng Huo has integrated the barbarians, and is respected by the barbarians as the barbarian king.

Yunnan County, east of Yongchang, is also a place where barbarians are concentrated. And continue to the east is Yue County. Yue County is already close to the Min River. So there are more Han people here. Yue Taishou's name is Zhengang. But Zhengang is not the most powerful person in Vietnam. The largest influence in Vietnam is the local barbarian chieftain. It is known as the Yueyi Wangdi Gaoding.

Further east are Juti and Jianning. That is, Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, is under the control of the territory. And Juti went east. It's the county.

The county is close to the Wuxi area of Jingzhou. Therefore, there are many Wuxi barbarians living in the area. Taishou's name is Zhu. He is also from a local family. And it's still hereditary, and it's the Taishou. And Liu Beidi is in control. It can't get to this either. Although nominally Zhu was very submissive to Liu Bei. But secretly. Not even a single copper plate land tax has been paid.

……

Yeongchang County.

Yongchang has two major families. That is the Yong family and the Lu family. Each has its own sphere of influence. There are also their own armed forces. The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. So over the years. The two families of Yonglu have constant friction. The two can be regarded as winning and losing each other.

Now, the Yongjia family has a slight upper hand in the battle, because the Yongjia Diyong has served as the Yongchang Taishou.

The relationship between Yong and Jiaozhou Shi is very good, and the Shi has persuaded Yonggui to surrender to Dongwu several times, and Yong has been waiting to see and sell. Before Zhou Shan, he also ran to Yong's men and became Yong's military advisor. And now, the news of Jiangdong Lu Xun's attack on Shu has reached Nanzhong, and Yong is also ready to make a move.

In the hall, in addition to Yonghe Zhou Shan, there was also a tall barbarian standing.

Zhou Shan introduced to Yong: "Lord, this is General Meng You, the younger brother of the barbarian king Meng Shu!" ”

"It turned out to be General Meng You, look up to him for a long time!" Yong hurriedly greeted him.

Yong wanted to rebel, but he felt that his strength was not enough to fight Liu Bei, so Yong not only contacted Gao Ding, the king of Yueyi, and Taishou Zhu, but also contacted the barbarian king Meng Shu to raise an incident together.

Taishou Zhu had a very good relationship with Yong, so he agreed to start an incident with Yong, and King Gaoding of Yueyi had a lot of talents, hundreds of generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers, and he was not willing to be a small school of Yue Wang, so he also promised to rebel with Yong.

And the barbarian king Meng Shu was even more anti-minded, so when Yong sent someone to contact him, he immediately agreed.

Now that the news of Lu Xun's attack on Shu came, Meng Shu also knew that it was time to raise the matter, so he sent his younger brother Meng You to contact Yong.

Meng Huo's situation is different from that of Yong and others, although Meng Huo is a barbarian king, but the Southern Barbarians are divided into one tribe after another, scattered all over the country, so if Meng Huo wants to rebel, he needs to gather the people of various tribes together, and it will take at least half a year to assemble alone, plus the mobilization of grain and grass, it is difficult for the barbarians to form a large-scale combat force in less than a year. Even if Meng Shu had prepared before, it would still take more than half a year.

Therefore, Meng Yu sent Meng You over and told the Yongman that it would take more than half a year for the Yongman people to be able to reorganize into an army and form a combat force.

It takes more than half a year for Meng Huo to be able to send troops, and Yong doesn't mind waiting for Meng Huo for more than half a year, but time is running out, and now Lu Xun is attacking Shu on a large scale, which is the best time to start an incident, and if he misses this time, let Shu Han ease his breath, or Liu Bei will withdraw to Shuzhong, and then rebel again, it will definitely not succeed.

So in the end, Yong decided not to wait for Meng to get it, and set up troops first, occupying Jianning and Zhuti counties south of the Minjiang River, and then started to defend, waiting for Meng Huo to send troops.

With Yong's order, Yong's soldiers and horses in Yongchang began to mobilize.

Yongchang is so far away from Chengdu, Yong mobilized his troops and horses, Chengdu naturally can't appear, but he can't hide this snake in the middle of Yongchang County.

Yongchang has two major families, in addition to the Yong family, there is also a Lu family.

Lu Kai is the nephew of the contemporary head of the Lu family, but Lu Kai has been smart and knowledgeable since he was a child, and he is the mainstay of the Lu family. Now he holds the position of Gongcao of the five senses.

After the Lu family got the news of the Yong's mobilization, they immediately reported it to the head of the Lu family, and the Lu family immediately summoned the people in the clan to discuss.

Although the Lu family is a big clan, they are in the wild land of Yongchang, which is too far away from the Central Plains, so there are not many knowledgeable people in the clan. So now dozens of people in the council hall are sitting together, stunned and speechless, and everyone is focused on Lu Kai.

Lu Kai coughed dryly, stood up and said, "Everyone, the Yong family's actions these days must be in everyone's eyes. Since Yong recruited that military advisor, the Yong family has been accumulating troops and food. Originally, I thought that the Yong family's move was to deal with our Lu family, but now it seems that the Yong family is probably going to rebel! ”

"How do you say this, Ji Ping, say it slowly!" It was Lu Kaidi's uncle who spoke.

Lu Kai nodded, and then said, "I've been keeping an eye on Nan recently

Besides, a few days ago, I heard a news, Yueyi King Gaoding was also at that time, I wondered if this Yong and Gaoding were colluding, so I immediately sent someone to investigate, and now Taishou Zhu has also been requisitioning grain and grass baggage. It is definitely no coincidence that the three parties are mobilized at the same time. ”

Uncle Lu Kai next to him immediately interjected and said: "Yong and Zhu Bao are friends, is there any conspiracy here?" ”

"Yes, that's what I thought at the time." Lu Kai then explained: "If it is to deal with our Lu family, Yong doesn't need to be so popular, even Gao Ding and Zhu Bao are involved, the so-called Yong is definitely far stronger than our Lu family, if I expect it to be good, Yong is afraid to deal with Liu Bei!" ”

"Ji Ping, you're not mistaken! With his Yong's little strength, he dares to deal with Liu Bei? He wasn't afraid that Liu Bei would send hundreds of thousands of troops to wipe him out? A man next to him asked.

This Yongchang Mountain is far away from the emperor, and it has always been in a state of autonomy, so the Yongchang people do not have much reverence for Liu Bei, and directly call him by his name.

Lu Kai shook his head: "If Yong didn't dare to do this before, but now it's different, I think everyone has heard that Jiangdong Lu Xun led the army to attack Shu, and Liu Bei's army is far away in Yongzhou, Yizhou is empty, only Chengdu City still has 30,000 horses, so now is the best time for Yongqi, and maybe Yong has something to rely on." ”

After listening to Lu Kai's words, everyone lowered their heads and began to think, and after a while, the patriarch raised his head and asked, "Ji Ping, what do you think our Lu family should do?" ”

"At this time, our Lu family has three ways to go, either to help Yong, or to help Liu Bei, or just stand still and wait and see what happens!" Lu Kai replied.

"You must not help the Yong family." One of the people next to him immediately said.

"Not much, the Yong family must not help!"

The Yong family and the Lu family are in Yongchang together, and the two families have been entangled for many years because of their interests, although they cannot be said to be mortal enemies, but the relationship is not very harmonious, and they can be regarded as enemies. Therefore, all the people in the Lu family will not help the Yong family.

Lu Kai had already thought of this result, so Lu Kai said: "Then there are only two options. ”

Hearing Lu Kai say this, everyone began to discuss.

This discussion was discussed for most of the day, and in the end, the result was that the two sides did not move and did not help each other.

The decision of the Lu family made Lu Kai very helpless. The Lu family has lived in the remote place of Yongchang for many years, and whether it is culture or heritage, it is naturally not comparable to those big families in the Central Plains. Years of living comfortably have made the Lu family lose their ambition to forge ahead, and most people hope to be able to settle down in Yongchang, and they are very satisfied when they become the overlord of the earth. Even if he knew that if he took advantage of this time to support Liu Bei, he would likely get the benefits of fighting in the future, no one was willing to gamble on such a hand and support Liu Bei.

The family's approach made Lu Kan feel very helpless, such a family with no enterprising spirit at all, if it hadn't stayed in the small place of Yongchang, I'm afraid it would have slowly died out!

Lu Kai alone is not enough to change the entire family. But that doesn't mean Lu Kai doesn't want to change.

Late at night, Lu Kai came to the house of the patriarch of the Lu family, the contemporary patriarch of the Lu family, who was Lu Kai's uncle.

"Uncle, I'm here to bid you farewell." Lu Kai said.

"You're going to report to Liu Bei."

"Exactly." Lu Kai replied.

The Lu family patriarch was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Have you really thought it through?" ”

"Uncle, I've thought about it clearly, now it's a troubled time, it's the time for a good man to make a contribution, and my generation should go out to have a good time, ask for a wife, and glorify the ancestors."

"Hey......" The patriarch sighed: "Ji Ping, you are the Qilin of our Lu family, and I also know that you have the ability and ambition, and it is impossible for you to stay in our Yongchang." You're right, while you're young, build a good career and show what you've learned! Go ahead, don't forget our Lu family one day! ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Lu Kai hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"Also, when you leave, if you value whose young people in the clan are good materials, bring them with you. After all, you are alone, and you need someone to give you a run. This person of his own family, use it at ease! ”

……

Jianning, Kunming City.

Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, is now stationed in Kunming. However, because of Liu Bei's army Northern Expedition, there were not many people left for Li Hui, and now Li Hui only had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

Li Hui, the governor of Nanzhong, actually controlled the northern part of Jianning and Zhuti, and as for other places, there were more barbarians, and most of them were in a state of autonomy.

Li Hui has a nephew named Li Qiu, this Li Qiu has good martial arts, and he has hundreds of catties of strength with a wave of his hands. Later, after Liu Bei entered Shu, Zhao Yun saw that Li Qiu was a manufacturable material, so he accepted Li Qiu as a registered disciple.

Now that Liu Bei is on the Northern Expedition, there are few available people around Li Hui, so he brought Li Qiu to his side.

On this day, Li Qiu hurriedly walked to Li Hui's basement room, and when he saw Li Hui, he immediately said: "Uncle, there is a person outside, claiming to be Yongchang Lu Kai, asking to see his uncle." ”

"Lu Kai?" Li Hui himself is a native of Jianning, and he naturally knows the customs and customs of Nanzhong very well, and he also knows that this Lu Kai is a famous person in Nanzhong, a member of the Lu family in Yongchang, and is quite talented.

However, Li Hui himself has nothing to do with the people of the Yongchang Lu family, and now that Lu Kai is here, it will definitely not be as simple as just visiting himself.

Thinking of this, Li Hui opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up and invite Mr. Lu in." ”

……

Lu Kai told Li Hui about the movements of Yong, Gao Ding, Zhu and others, Li Hui was also a smart person, and immediately realized that these people probably wanted to take advantage of Liu Bei's Northern Expedition to make trouble.

Thinking of this, beads of sweat already appeared on Li Hui's head. Yongchang is good to say, far away in the southwest border, but this is not the same. The northwest of Jianning is Yue County, that is, the territory of Gaoding; The Northeast is the territory of the gun, Zhu. And the theme is sandwiched between Yue and Yue, once Gao Ding and Zhu rebel, they will inevitably attack Zhu Ti immediately, cut off their own way of retreat, and then they will become alone.

In this instant, Li Hui made a plan, immediately abandoned Jianning, withdrew from Kunming, and then walked to Zhuti, where he must defend the gateway to the south of Chengdu.

From weekend night to last night, two of the three days were to stay up until three o'clock in the morning to sleep, and to get up at seven o'clock in the morning to go to work, now I feel that my eyelids are a little unable to open, so I rested early to adjust the state, the number of words is a little less, and tomorrow I will start to have more 6,000 words. By the way, call for a few guaranteed monthly passes and add some energy to the small universe of Gluttonous Wormland! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next.)
