The envoy sent to Sun Quan's office was the first to return, and the news brought back excited Liu Bei and others, if the land of the four counties was temporarily borrowed from Sun Quan's place, it would be enough to settle the officers and soldiers and the people; So, Liu Bei ordered Jian Yong to start preparing for the move south.

Liu Pan, Liu Du, Liu Qi and others led more than 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers and more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers to follow Liu Bei's envoy to the Jiaozhou border and came to Lingling County, which was completely occupied by Dong Zhuo.

Liu Pan was appointed as the military commander and had jurisdiction over 4,000 Jingzhou soldiers; The more than 2,000 strong barbarian soldiers became Liu Bei's troops; Liu Du and others were idle, and now they are sending people under the fence, and they dare not refute it.

After another month, the envoys sent to Jiangdong returned, but Qin Guan was willing to accept the territory, but was not willing to pay for money and grain; Liu Bei felt that as long as he could take over the territory, he would be able to block Dong Zhuo's army, and he could rest assured that he would go south, so he agreed with Qin Guan's opinion and let Jiangdong get two counties for nothing.

However, Liu Bei did not wait for the people who came to take over the territory, and after waiting for a month, he guessed that the situation had changed, so he no longer waited, but ordered the army to go south.

Jian Yong had already released the news that Dong Zhuo's strength was strong, he was not able to fight the enemy, and the army was about to go south, and the people knew that Dong Zhuo's army was brutal, and if he stayed, he would suffer a catastrophe, so he had no choice but to follow Liu Bei's army south.

Liu Bei was very cunning, since the negotiation situation with Jiangdong had changed, he was afraid of being attacked by Jiangdong, so he decided to divide his troops into two routes, the east route led by Xu Sheng, leading the army and the people from Guiyang County to the south, through Qujiang County to Nanhai County, after crossing the river, he could reach the territory designated by Sun Quan; This road is relatively close, and there are Huang Gai and others to respond, it is relatively safe, Xu Sheng has no doubt about him.

Liu Bei personally led the army and people of Lingling County and prepared to go straight to Cangwu County. The troops and civilians went south to Lingling County to assemble; And sent scouts to Yingpu County with great fanfare to explore the road to Xie Mu County, Cangwu County.

From Yingpu County of Lingling County to Xie Mu County of Cangwu County, through Fengcheng County, Fuchuan County, Linhe County, Fengyang County, and arrived at Guangxin County of Cangwu County (Cangwu in later generations), it is an important passage to Jiaozhou in the south, the road is flat, and the personnel are relatively dense, but Jiaozhou has deployed heavy troops along the way, and it will be very difficult for Liu Bei to push all the way through.

At this time, Liu Bei personally led more than 2,000 barbarian soldiers, the guards led by Chen Zhi, and some elite troops, and suddenly diverted to Shi'an County, Lingling County; Shi'an County is the Guilin of later generations; He prepared to go straight down from Shi'an County along the Lishui River (Li River and Guijiang River) to the southeast, and raid Cangwu County to govern Guangxin City, so that the officers and soldiers of the northern counties would surrender without a fight.

Other officers and soldiers and ordinary people, under the leadership of Jiang Wan and Liu Min, went to Yingpu County, and unknowingly became the target of Liu Bei's cover, successfully attracting the attention of Dong Zhuo and the Jiaozhou army; If this trip goes well, Liu Bei is ready to send someone to meet them at that time.

Liu Bei is worthy of being Liu Ranran, who has a natural perception of danger, and this time he successfully evaded the calculations of Yang Hong and others; Xu Sheng and the others were not so lucky.

The warlords brought only melee, wreaking havoc on production and inflicting untold disasters on the people.

Liu Bei arrived in Cangwu County and immediately brought war to Cangwu County.

Guangxin City was in the rear, defenseless, and had few troops, and was drummed down by Liu Bei, and what made him miscalculate was that the Taishou of Cangwu County was not in the city, which made his raid an adventurous behavior.

At this time, Cangwu County is too guarded? was in Linhe County, organizing officers and soldiers to defend Liu Bei to the south, and escaped; Knowing that Guangxin was lost, Shi? Surprised, immediately adjust the armament, ready to counterattack; He estimated that Liu Bei would definitely not have many officers and soldiers, and he must not be allowed to gain a foothold in the local area, otherwise he would be in trouble.

So, he first transferred troops to Fengyang County and became the forefront of resisting Liu Bei; secondly, send troops to cut off Lishui and cut off Liu Bei's retreat and contact; Finally, contact other counties to send troops to support.

Too Guard? 's response was very swift, so that Liu Bei's plan to quickly occupy Cangwu County fell through.

At this time, the essence of Cangwu County was in the northern counties, which were closer to the Central Plains, and the people who migrated from here were all resettled nearby, and gradually developed.

Wait? After stabilizing the situation, the organization of a counteroffensive of troops began.

Liu Bei's number of officers and soldiers was too small to be able to defeat the enemy, and the city of Guangxin was extremely unstable, so he had to abandon Guangxin and flee eastward; At this time, the people of the two eastern counties of Cangwu County had been relocated to the eastern part of Nanhai County by Sun Quan to make room for Liu Bei's arrival; Wherever Liu Bei passed, there were not even a single people, so they could not be supplied, and there were chasing soldiers behind him, which was extremely embarrassing; As for the two county towns he passed by, there were not many troops and not many baggage, so he didn't dare to stop and be a soldier? Surrounded by a large army.

Scholar? led the troops to chase all the way, and successfully recovered the empty city of Gaoyao County and Duanxi County before recovering the rear of the troops.

Sun Quan estimator? The army is stationed on the northern border, and there are not many garrisons in the south of Cangwu County, so there are not many troops stationed in these two counties. The army was attracted by Liu Bei himself, and the two cities were also served? Easy recovery.

Scholar? Annoyed that all the local people were moved away by Sun Quan, he took the opportunity to suggest: "Envoy, our people were moved away by Sun Quan, but there are still many people and troops in the north who have been abandoned by Liu Bei. ”

Scholar? Daxi smiled and said: "Haha, this is a godsend!" He immediately promoted the army to Sima of other departments, led the army to recruit the army officers and soldiers and civilians abandoned by Liu Bei, promised to distribute arable land and houses to them, and exposed Liu Bei's hypocrisy.

Scholar? Leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in Gaoyao County, he himself returned to Guangxin City to stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible, restore order, and minimize the damage brought by Liu Bei.

Sima of the other department lived up to expectations. Sending people to Yingpu County, spreading that they were just a target to attract Dong Zhuo's troops, Liu Bei had already slipped away, and Cangwu County welcomed them and would give them houses and arrange arable land.

There are also smart people among these army officers and soldiers and ordinary people, they have not seen Liu Bei for many days, and no one has given orders, they have long been suspicious, and now the rumors will not be groundless, many people believe that the rumors are true, Liu Bei has long since fled, they have been abandoned and betrayed.

At this time, they had left their hometown and could not return, and they were even more reluctant to go back to be oppressed by Dong Zhuo, and in Liu Bei's propaganda, they had a fear of Dong Zhuo; There was no other way, so some people dared to go to Cangwu County; To their great delight, they were received as well as they had been rumored, and everyone was overjoyed; The other Sima ordered them to go back to welcome more people, and if the number of people who came was large, they would be rewarded.

For the sake of a good life for the villagers, these people would rather not be rewarded, but would rather return to meet them; And the more people come, the more secure they feel.

Cangwu County is mountainous, but there are a large number of alluvial plains between the mountains, fertile land, convenient irrigation, good agriculture, and not affected by the sea breeze, it is a relatively developed county in Jiaozhou.

Jiang Wan and Liu Min were very annoyed by Liu Bei's behavior, so they led the officers and soldiers to surrender.

Jiang Wan was appointed as the county gongcao and was responsible for the resettlement of the displaced people, who had great trust in Jiang Wan, so as to reduce the contradictions that arose in the resettlement.

Liu Min was appointed as the Sima of the other department, and led the officers and soldiers and their families to Gaoyao County and Duanxi County to settle down, and the officers and soldiers could be half soldiers and half peasants to assist in the defense of Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the east; They were teased by Liu Bei once, and they already hated Liu Bei in their hearts, and they all welcomed this arrangement very much; There were ready-made villages, houses and arable land, which made these officers and soldiers and their families extremely happy. It is more faithful.

Some of the other people were resettled in the existing counties, and some were resettled in three other counties in the southern part of Cangwu County; Some people also arrived in Yulin County and Hepu County to settle down, thanking them for sending reinforcements to repel Liu Bei.

The people are from Lingling County, and the climate is not much different from here, so they are very suitable for the climate and environment here, and they immediately put into intense construction.

Easily increase the number of people by more than 100,000 people, taxis? Happy smile from ear to ear; What Jiaozhou lacks is the people, which can not only increase a large number of people and increase taxes, but also bring farming methods and many skills in the Central Plains, which can greatly promote the development of the local area.
