The warm sunshine, the warm spring breeze, the thin willows, such a beautiful scenery, people are very intoxicated to see. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, a carriage moved slowly from west to east, and the people who drove the horses also looked a little drowsy, and there were several tall horses behind the carriage, and the people on the horse looked very powerful. But there was a horse next to the carriage, and the person sitting on it looked a little thin.

It is estimated that the surrounding scenery is so beautiful, and the person in the carriage also lifted the curtain on the side and looked up.

"What a view!"

The people in the carriage saw the beautiful scenery around them, and their faces unconsciously showed a look of intoxication.

"Parking, such a beautiful view should be enjoyed." The person in the car said to the person who drove the car.

Phew, a long sound came from the mouth of the charioteer, and the horse pulling the cart slowly stopped at the sound of the charioteer, and then lowered his head to eat the grass beside him.

When the carriage stopped, the occupants lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. Walk to the side of the road and look around.

Yangchun Budeze, all things are brilliant.

"Where are we now?" After looking at it for a while, the person who only listened said.

"Back to the military division, we have now entered the boundary of Jiangzhou, and we are almost 30 miles away from Jiangzhou City." Said the man who drove the horse.

This group of people was none other than Shi Yuan and some guards.

After returning to Chengdu with Liu Bei, Shi Yuan also had a good rest in Chengdu City, and fought in Hanzhong for more than a year, which was really tiring, so after arriving in Chengdu City, Shi Yuan played around Chengdu City, and his mind returned to the best state.

During the period when Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, he also achieved a lot of results. Liu Feng, Meng Da and others were ordered by the lord to lead troops to capture Shangyong, Fangling, Nanxiang and other places before Liu Bei and the military division returned to Chengdu, which are located in the east of Hanzhong, not far from Xiangyang and Fancheng, if Cao's army wants to send troops from Xiangyang to capture Hanzhong, it is bound to pass through these places, so occupy these places as the eastern barrier of Hanzhong, which can reduce the defensive pressure of Hanzhong.

During this period of time, General Wei Yan, as the Taishou of Hanzhong, also made the defense of Hanzhong tightly and orderly, and no one else could say anything, even those who had opinions on the appointment of Wei Yan as the Taishou of Hanzhong by the lord at the beginning were silent at this time.

After the defeat of Hanzhong, Cao's army retreated to the Central Plains, and never sent troops to attack Hanzhong during this period of time, which gave Wei Yan and others a period of rest, and also took advantage of this time to lay out the defense of Hanzhong.

Shi Yuan stood on the side of the road, looking at the scenery in front of him, and his thoughts unconsciously returned to a few days ago.

"Shi Yuan, Kong Ming, I just got the news that Lu Su and Lu Zijing, the Governor of Eastern Wu, passed away a month ago." Liu Bei said to Shi Yuan and Kong Ming in the Chengdu City Hall.

After Shi Yuan and Kong Ming heard the news, their faces changed significantly, especially Kong Ming, who looked obviously in pain on his face at this time. It's right to think about it, when Kong Ming was alone in Soochow, Zijing also helped Kong Ming a lot, although the two were in different camps, the relationship between the two was still very good.

"Lord, Zijing was committed to the alliance between us and Dongwu before his death, I think if there was no Zijing, then it is difficult to say whether Dongwu will be allied with us, and after we defeated the Cao **** army with the Dongwu coalition army to occupy Jingzhou, everyone in Dongwu agreed to send troops to attack Jingzhou, but Zijing understood that the great enemy between us was still Cao Cao, so Dongwu did not meet with our sword soldiers.

Now that Zi Jing has passed away, I am afraid that Soochow will no longer be as committed to the alliance between our two families as Zi Jing is. Therefore, my lord, for the sake of today, we must pay more attention to the Eastern Wu to prevent the Eastern Wu from attacking Jingzhou. Kong Ming Liu Bei bowed his hand and said.

After listening to Kong Ming's words, Liu Bei lowered his head and thought about it, then raised his head and said:

"Shi Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"

Shi Yuan saw that the lord asked himself, straightened his body, and then said:

"My lord, I don't know who the current governor of Eastern Wu is?"

According to Tanma's report, before Lu Su's death, he recommended Lü Meng to be the next governor of Eastern Wu. At present, among the generals of Eastern Wu, I am afraid that only Lu Meng is suitable for this metropolitan governor. ”

"Lord, Lu Meng should not be underestimated, when Zhou Yu was alive, Lu Meng won Zhou Yu's trust, and after this period of training, Lu Meng is no longer the Wuxia Ameng of the past. At the beginning, Zhou Yu advocated attacking Jingzhou, and Lu Meng, as Zhou Yu's subordinate, must have treated Jingzhou and Zhou Yu almost the same. Therefore, I agree with Mr. Kong Ming's statement, pay more attention to Soochow, ensure Jingzhou, Jingzhou will not be lost. ”

The importance of Jingzhou Liu Bei is also very clear in his heart, now Liu Bei has occupied Yizhou, Jingzhou, and has just occupied Hanzhong, the territory is also there, there are more soldiers, there are more generals, and Liu Bei's ambition is gradually revealed.

Kuang Fu Han may have been just a slogan for Liu Bei before, but now Liu Bei has enough capital to turn this slogan into reality.

Those who commit crimes against me will be punished even if they are far away. This sentence was said by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to those other ethnic groups during the Han Dynasty, very domineering, and now with the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, the other ethnic groups around it are a little anxious, Liu Bei is furious every time he hears the news about the invasion of the Han people by other ethnic groups. Although Eastern Wu in the east, Cao Cao in the north, and Liu Bei himself sent troops to conquer these ethnic groups many times, they only quenched their thirst for a moment and could not solve the fundamental problem.

As a descendant of the Han family, Liu Bei wants to recreate this sentence in the heart of the earth, but how to do it? Liu Bei knew very well that the Han people must first be unified, and only in this way can it be done. But how to unify the Han people, it is natural to end the chaos in the Central Plains and unify the world, only in this way can the Han people regain the position of the head of all ethnic groups.

It is not enough to rely on just one Yizhou, although Yizhou has thousands of miles of fertile fields, but it is still much worse than the prosperous Central Plains. So for Liu Bei, Jingzhou cannot afford to lose.

"Lord, now that we have defeated Cao Cao and occupied Hanzhong, Cao Cao will definitely not swallow this breath, and sooner or later he will fight with our army again. However, the land of Hanzhong is a famous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if Cao Cao wants to fight with our army, he will not choose Hanzhong, but can only choose Jingzhou. Moreover, Cao Cao has just recently appointed Cao Ren as the general of Zhengnan, and the generals Le Jin, Pang De and others are also in the land of Xiangfan, which shows that Cao Cao has begun to act. Shi Yuan said.

In fact, in 212 AD, Guan Yu and Le Jin had already fought in Qingniwa. In 214 AD, in order to solve the matter of Yizhou as soon as possible, Liu Bei transferred many talents and soldiers from Jingzhou to Yizhou, leaving only Guan Yu, Ma Liang and others to defend Jingzhou. When Liu Bei fought in Yizhou and Hanzhong, Guan Yu was not idle in Jingzhou, although in 215 Sun Quan attacked the three counties east of Xiangshui, but as Guan Yu continued to strengthen the defense along the Yangtze River and the west bank of Xiangshui, Jingzhou was also relatively calm in the past two years. Moreover, in the past two years, most of Cao Cao's elite soldiers and generals went to Hanzhong to compete with Liu Bei for Hanzhong, so this also greatly reduced the pressure on Guan Yu from the north.

"My lord, there is one more thing that I am also very worried about. Now that we have defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong, presumably both Cao Cao and Eastern Wu feel threatened, if Cao Cao and Eastern Wu join forces to capture Jingzhou, then the pressure to defend Jingzhou will be greater. Shi Yuan continued.

After Liu Bei and Kong Ming heard this, they both showed some unnatural expressions on their faces, presumably they also thought of this.

After the three of them discussed, they decided, and Shi Yuan personally went to Jingzhou to defend Jingzhou with General Guan Yu. Kong Ming is still stationed in Chengdu, you must know that Chengdu is Liu Bei's current base camp! There must be no mistakes. Moreover, Kong Ming can also maintain the stability of Yizhou in Chengdu and promote the development of Yizhou. As for Liu Bei, he can't leave Yizhou at present, after all, Yizhou has only been occupied for three or four years, and Liu Bei still needs to sit in charge for a period of time.

Yizhou and Hanzhong are now stable, and those generals in Yizhou can also go to Jingzhou, so Liu Bei then ordered Zhang Ren, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to order the soldiers to prepare and go to Jingzhou at any time.

"Strategist, Strategist."

Hearing someone call him, Shi Yuan's mind came back from his recollection, and he turned his head to look at this person, only to see that this person was none other than the thin man he had just mentioned.
