Lu Su stayed in Luo County for half a month, and by the middle of August, Fang learned about Liu Bei's whereabouts through Sun Shangxiang.

It turned out that Liu Bei actually went to the Yangtze River to enter Shu, and deployed soldiers and horses in Badong and Wushan to prevent Yang Xi from coming from Shui6.

Lu Su also knew that it was not easy for anyone, Liu Bei occupied Ba County in the east of Yizhou, and the Yangtze River was his responsible defense area. Now Yang Xi is powerful, if he leads the troops up the Yangtze River and enters Shuzhong, then Liu Bei is irresistible.

When Lu Su saw Liu Bei, Sun Quan was already in a hurry at home, and ordered someone to fly a pigeon to send a book to Luo County to inquire about Lu Su's results, but he didn't want Lu Su to even see anyone.

Lu Su saw Liu Bei, but he was in Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is in Ba County, which is the county seat of Ba County at this time, this Jiangzhou, but it is a little powerful, he later has a very powerful name, called Chongqing!

Liu Bei's soldiers were in Luoxian, and now they were preparing to set up a new governance center, the local scholars of Yizhou, and suggested that Liu Bei place the state pastoral mansion in Chengdu, and most of the talents recruited by the order of seeking merit thought that Jiangzhou was more convenient than Chengdu.

So Liu Bei went to Jiangzhou in person to supervise the construction of the new city, and the affairs of the state pastoral office were put aside for the time being.

There is the Jialing River flowing into the Yangtze River in the north of Jiangzhou, and the convenience of water transportation is unique in Yizhou.

Liu Bei still hoped that the governance office would be placed in Jiangzhou, but Liu Bei did not dare to offend the local scholars of Yizhou who suggested that the governance office be placed in Chengdu.

The reformers represented by Murong Zixuan brought by Liu Bei strongly recommended that the ruling office be set in Jiangdu.

So Liu Bei ordered Murong Zixuan to be the governor of Jiangdu, began to study the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and established a new city in Jiangdu. As for the administration of the place, it was put on hold for the time being.

Of course, the main reason is that Yang Xi is pressing step by step, which is the most important thing.

It was not the first time Liu Bei had seen Lu Su, this person was bold and open-minded, and Liu Bei himself was very happy.

When Lu Su saw Liu Bei, he first stated how cold his lips and teeth were, and then mentioned the matter of borrowing grain.

Liu Bei said in his heart, sure enough.

And as soon as you open your mouth, it's a million stones.

Liu Bei has to admire Lu Su's atmosphere, a million stones, you can open your mouth, do you think I am Yang Xi?

Thinking of Yang Xi, Liu Bei was angry.

"Zijing, it's not that we don't want to borrow grain, Zijing also saw it, now the east of Shu went out of the Yangtze River, attacked Yang Xi, not to mention the loss of troops, it took half a year, and it really cost a lot of grain and grass, but where is there still grain and grass to lend to the bar."

Lu Su said: "Today, our Zhou capital is the governor of the south according to the southern barbarians, and the east is against Yang Xi, it is difficult to move, and the military horses are difficult to maintain, it is a difficult time, and I also ask Liu Zhijun to know that if anything happens to the county, Yang Xi will lead the army to the north from the Qiqi River, and under the cold of the lips and teeth, Shuzhong will not be able to protect itself." Besides, it is said that this year's wind and rain are good, and Chengdu has enough food, so it is better to allocate 1 million stones to my father-in-law first, and within three years, my father-in-law will not break his promise. ”

"Three years?" Liu Bei stretched out his finger and said with a question mark on his face: "Your head of the family said that he would pay back the grain in three years?" Zijing knew that Yang Xi ordered Lü Meng in the Jingnan Theater to lead 100,000 troops, and 200,000 people to build a road in the north mountains of the Yangtze River, open mountains and rivers, and kill Shuzhong. At most one year, the highway will go to Shuzhong, and my Shuzhong will be under Yang Xi's authority, whether it can resist Yang Xi's army and Ma Shang is unknown, Zijing actually returned the grain and grass with Beiyan for three years, but this is too insincere. ”

Lu Su must know the reality and the crisis that Yang Xi has brought to Yizhou.

Seeing that Lu Su was in embarrassment, Liu Bei knew that it was time to bring it up at this time, anyway, he had a lot of time, and it was not he who was in a hurry.

"If Zijing can persuade Qiqi County to send 30,000 troops, enter the rear of Yangxi Highway, and harass and intercept along the way, 1 million stone grain, I will work hard to arrange it, but it is not impossible."

When Lu Su heard this, he knew that this was an opportunity to put forward conditions, an equivalent exchange, this was not a loan of grain, but if one million stones of grain and grass did not have to be repaid, the transaction was still worth it.

Organizing 30,000 people to enter the forest is not a certain death, and 30,000 laborers can be exchanged for millions of stones, grain and grass, which can survive the predicament of Qiqi County.

As long as a year passes, at this time next year, Juntun has its own harvest, and there is no need to rely on Chengdu anymore.

Lu Su reported Liu Bei's conditions to enter Helancheng, Sun Quan immediately made a decision, and ordered Huang Gai to be a general, leading an army of 30,000, just waiting for the grain and grass to arrive, and then go east into the mountains.

Liu Bei's side, in order to prevent Sun Quan from changing his hexagram after getting the grain, he insisted on dividing the grain and grass into several parts, and prepared to hand over the grain according to the month.

The matter of Yizhou, a spy had already reported to Chenhe City, and Yang Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, Sun Ce got up and borrowed money and food from himself, but now his younger brother Sun Quan is so poor that he exchanges his life for military salaries.

However, it was said that Liu Bei instigated Sun Quan to send troops to harass Lü Meng's construction team, and he was afraid that Sun Quan would have too few soldiers and horses to play a big role, so he gathered to discuss.

Zhuge Liang said: "Lu Meng's army is in the north of the river, but in Wuling County in the south, there are Wuxi people who have always had ideas about the control of the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce, and the lord can send someone to contact Wuxi Man, promise benefits, and ask him to rebel." At that time, Lü Meng will return to the army to quell the chaos, and the lord may be able to win in the chaos. ”

Liu Bei followed Kong Ming's plan and ordered Baimei Ma Liang to go east out of the Yangtze River and go to Wuling County to contact Wuxi Man.

During the great social turmoil in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty and the Xinmang Dynasty, a large number of Han people fled into the Wuling Mountains in western Hunan to escape the war, and lived in a mixed place with the barbarian people. After the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the local counties also clashed with the barbarian people in order to regain control of these exiled populations. Liu Xiu sent a large army to crusade, and the Wuling Barbarian Rebellion, which lasted for three years, was put down.

Wuximan is named because there are five streams in its land, and it is mainly engaged in agriculture, dyeing and weaving. There are Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi, Wuxi, called Wuximan.

When the barbarian king of Wuxi Shamoke was born with a face like blood, and his blue eyes were prominent, so that an iron thistle bone and two bows on his belt were majestic.

The iron thistle bone, made of iron, with a handle at one end and an oblong end with iron thorns on it, is an improved version of the hammer, that is, adding a lot of sharp spikes to the hammer head, it becomes a long-handled version of the tribulus terrestris bone and like a mace.

Shamoke personally met with Ma Liang, Ma Liang said Liu Bei's appeasement, and as the emperor's uncle, he promised the official position and many benefits, Shamoke was bewitched, decided to rebel in Wuling Mountain, and intended to attack the county.

All this, Yang Xi received the news early, and today's spy group is almost everywhere in the hostile camp.

Including Liu Bei's dispatch of Ma Liang, he entered the surveillance range of the special task force.

In fact, Yang Xi wished that Wuxi was rebellious, so he could take the opportunity to pacify it and abolish the primitive custom of vassal kings.

This Shamoke is not subject to discipline, and Yang Xi naturally wants to pull it out.

In October, Yang Xi ordered the Lü Meng tribe not to take care of the Wuxi rebellion, but to continue to build roads and conquer the mountains.

Yang Xi had already chosen the candidate to deal with Shamoke, and this person was Zhou Tai.

Originally, Shamoke had a record of shooting Gan Ning by trickery, and was later killed by Zhou Tai, so Yang Xi handed over this credit to Zhou Tai to see if he could continue the battle of his own merits.
