"Prime Minister, do you have any other way?" Liu Chan encountered a big problem again and had to look at Kong Ming for help.

was meeting Liu Chan's gaze, Kong Ming's eyes revealed a trace of struggle, as if there was something he wanted to say but couldn't say.

Liu Chan had a conjecture in his heart, this Kong Ming was afraid that he was also a drama spirit, and it was estimated that he already had an idea in his heart, but he just wanted to fish for his own interests, so as to get greater support from himself, after all, once someone can't get something for a long time, then his desire for this thing will exceed the normal value.

"If you have an idea, just say it! Hugh is going to sell it again, I know you have an idea! Liu Chan urged.

A little embarrassed, Kong Ming moved his mouth, Kong Ming said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to simply recruit troops from Chengdu to fight the Southern Rebellion, and we must find a way to get troops from other places!" ”

Getting troops from other places, Liu Chan couldn't help but think bitterly, Zitong only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of the soldiers and horses in the south were trapped in defending the city to prevent the rebels from breaking through the city, and the soldiers and horses in the north had to always defend Cao Wei in the north, Xiping Ma Chao 30,000 troops, Yangping Wang Ping 6,000 troops, Hanzhong Wei Yan 25,000 troops, a total of only about 60,000 soldiers and horses, these are already a bit dwarfed by Cao Wei, let alone a part of it.

"Prime Minister, there is no one in Shu!"

Without answering Liu Chan's words directly, Kong Ming said again: "Or borrow soldiers!" ”

"Borrowed soldiers?! Father, don't be joking, Sun Quan will borrow our soldiers and horses to level the ......" Before he finished speaking, Liu Chan seemed to think of something, he just thought about all parts of Shuzhong before, and did not think about it to the east, but just ignored one point, that is, the Yongan soldiers and horses who have been gathering in the east to defend Sun Quan.

Chen Zhi came from Yong'an, took away two thousand elites, but at this time Li Yan garrisoned Yong'an soldiers and horses are far larger than the counties in Shuzhong, although the former emperor's eastern expedition fell to the fire and burned the camp for 800 miles, countless casualties, but there are still some people who withdrew to Shu, but they are stationed in Yong'an, and now Yong'an roughly estimates, at least more than 50,000 people, and many of them are still the first emperor's eastern expedition of men and horses, the combat power is extraordinary!

After thinking about it, Liu Chan said directly for a while: "Father Xiang is talking about the people of Yong'an Zhongdu Hu, Shang Shuling, and Duxiang Hou Li Yan?" ”

As soon as Liu Chan said this, the expressions of several ministers in the field suddenly changed, Liu Chan was in the study this time, but there were nearly 20 ministers who came, among which there were inevitably Liu Zhang's old ministers in the past, which was classified as the Yizhou faction in the faction, and the reason why the Yizhou faction and the Jingzhou faction were able to compete with each other was because the Yizhou faction had Li Yan to balance Zhuge Liang.

And the ancestor Liu Bei Tuogu is also a trust, not only entrusted to Zhuge Liang, in order to let the two sides check and balance each other, no one can overwhelm anyone, so that each side has a minister of Tuogu, and they are equally divided in terms of power and status, at most, the outsiders of Xiliang on Ma Chao's side are not valued by both sides, and it is uncomfortable to be caught in the middle!

And at this time in Shuzhong, Li Yan is not there, Zhuge Liang is the biggest, and no one can control his status, the old ministers of the Yizhou faction naturally dare not dare to offend too much, so they can only greet each other with a good face, but now the problem is that people have hit the head of their leading brother, and they can't help but cheer up!

The contradiction between Li Yan and this Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan is a little clearer, Lao Luo's romance mainly talks about the difference in the concepts of the Northern Expedition between the two sides, but the contradiction between the two sides is only the Northern Expedition? It is obviously impossible, the former Shangshu Ling Fazheng, is the original decision-maker of the Northern Expedition, he insisted on this conclusion soon after Liu Bei entered Shu, it is so, Fang advised Liu Bei to go north several times, which led to the famous battle of Hanzhong, and there was the largest and most epic war between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

It's a pity that later events gradually affected the direction of Shu, and in the next few years, because of Guan Yu's death and Jingzhou's hatred, Shu once pointed the spearhead to the east.

Therefore, in Liu Chan's view, the contradiction between the two parties is actually driven by the interests of the factions, the Jingzhou Party is the foundation of Liu Chan, to put it bluntly, it is the team, follow Liu Bei away from his hometown and settle in Shuzhong, because of this, they are outsiders, but between their merits, Liu Bei will inevitably be rewarded and sealed, so the rights of the Jingzhou Party are very great.

It was okay at first, but after a long time, there will inevitably be contradictions between the Jingzhou Party and the locals in Yizhou, but as the Jingzhou Party that holds the sovereignty, they suffer very few times, and their own families are in charge, which is probably difficult for people to have no grievances, and then Liu Bei also began to reuse Yizhou people, and the power of the Yizhou Party gradually became stronger, and he served as Shang Shuling in Fazheng, prompting Liu Bei to defeat Cao Cao in the battle of Hanzhong, and the two factions were already equal.

Although the law that could check and balance Zhuge Liang was hung up later, the Jingzhou Party also lost Jingzhou later, this is not just a loss of territory, this is the loss of the entire huge support group, Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period is a place of outstanding individuals, and there are far more capable people than other states and counties.

Jingzhou was lost, these Jingzhou parties completely became homeless outsiders, and the dispute between the two factions once again fell into a stalemate.

Liu Chan opened his mouth to guess, and Zhuge Liang said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now that my Shu Kingdom has formed an alliance with Jiangdong, Jiangdong monarchs and ministers are not stupid, and naturally understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, so they will not go west!" In this case, why can't we borrow Li Duhu's men and horses to quell the chaos first! ”

Liu Chan understands the truth, but is Li Yan willing to borrow it? In the history books, Li Yan has always wanted the autonomy of Ba County, this is an dishonest lord, and he has the heart to be the boss.

"Li Duhu and his ministers are all people who were entrusted by the first emperor, and they are also Shu ministers and Han ministers, how can he not obey His Majesty's words? Li Duhu's loyalty cannot be doubted! Kong Ming said solemnly. But looking at Kong Ming's expression, Liu Chan always felt as if he was using himself.

"Li Duhu won't refuse politely?" Liu Chan said with a smile, in history, Li Yan refused to ask for more Kongming's request and asked for Bajun's autonomy, but Kong Ming decisively refused, which Liu Chan still understood.

"Isn't it that my father wants me to promise him some benefits? Although Li Duhu is already in a high position and has no reward, but his son Li Feng is now high or low, and he is rewarded to seek the support of Li Duhu's soldiers and horses? Liu Chan asked with a smile.

Historically, Kong Ming asked Li Yan to send troops to assist in the Northern Expedition, so why can't he use this to send troops to quell the rebellion in Nanzhong?

Hearing this, Kong Ming was taken aback, he was really surprised this time, he never expected that Liu Chan would think of this to order Li Yan to send troops, compared to Fa Zheng, Li Yan is nothing more than much weaker, especially after Liu Bei's death, he became a little arrogant and became more selfish at the same time, if there is a chance, he will naturally let his son rise step by step, but unfortunately he doesn't have that right!
