A month after Shiyuan asked the lord to send reinforcements, the reinforcements from Chengdu came to Pujia Pass. The reinforcements of the pen and www.biquge.info pavilion were led by Liu Bei himself, accompanied by Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Liu Feng, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Yan Yan, Li Yan and other military generals, and 30,000 troops entered the Pujia Pass.

Half a month ago, the reinforcements of the Wei army had already come to Pujia Pass, and after the reinforcements arrived in Hanzhong, they rested for two days and then sent troops to attack Guancheng and Yangping Pass. In order to defend these two places, Shi Yuan transferred 5,000 people from Pujia Pass to support these two places, and now the Wei army has been attacking these two places for more than ten days, and the casualties of the soldiers on both sides are not small, especially the Wei army, because of these two terrain reasons, the troops can not be deployed in a large area, and can only attack these two places in a small space, which greatly reduces the defensive pressure of these two places. The Wei army concentrated its main forces in Guancheng, because Guancheng was the closest to Yangping Pass, and it was bound to become the first place to attack, and Shiyuan also deployed 8,000 defenders in Guancheng, and the general Wei Yan personally sat in the town to guard Guancheng. As for Baishui Pass, the Wei army only sent a small number of troops to attack and harass it, in case the soldiers in Baishui Pass supported the city, but Shi Yuan did not deploy many soldiers in Baishui Pass, only more than 2,000 people, guarded by Huang Quan.

Within a few days of the arrival of the Wei army in Hanzhong, 20,000 soldiers led by General Huang Zhong took Wudu County, and then sent troops to take Xiafen, and deployed most of their troops in Xiabian. Similarly, Zhang Fei, the Brazilian Taishou of Brazil County, also mobilized his Brazilian troops and stationed in Nanjiang, preparing to attack Hanzhong along the Micang Road to the north. The actions of Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei also happened to support Guancheng, intentionally or unintentionally, because their actions prevented the Wei army from using all its forces to attack these two places, which greatly reduced the pressure on these two places. In the Wei army, Zhang Jaw and Du Xi led 20,000 troops to Micang Road to set up camp in case of Zhang Fei; Cao Hong and Cao Zhen led an army of 30,000 out of Yangping Pass and attacked Xiajiao, intending to reoccupy Wudu County in order to open the passage between Hanzhong and Longxi; Xiahou Yuan personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Guancheng and Baishui Pass, in order to retake these two places.

"Shi Yuan, I'm glad you're sorry. With 40,000 against 100,000, 50,000 enemy troops can be eliminated, even if Zhang Liang is alive, it may be difficult to achieve such a record. With Shiyuan here, why am I afraid of Cao thieves, why am I worried about not quelling this chaotic war, and why am I not worried about letting the banner of this big man fly again on the land of the Central Plains. ”

After Liu Bei came to Pujia Pass, he immediately summoned the defending generals in Pujia Pass to discuss the next Hanzhong war. What is gratifying is that Liu Bei came this time, and also brought a large number of profit and loss crossbows, about five hundred, it is terrifying to think about it, five hundred profit and loss crossbows, launched at the same time, five thousand iron crossbow arrows fell from above at the same time, that scene, I am afraid that there is a mouse on the ground will also be shot!

After discussing the battle with the lord, Shiyuan returned to his residence, and after dinner, the lord himself came to Shiyuan, which really surprised Shiyuan.

"The lord praises him so much, the ministers are afraid that they can't afford it, for the courtiers, it is the courtier's duty to solve problems for the lord." After listening to Liu Bei's words, Shi Yuan naturally replied in a hurry and modestly.

"My lord, I don't know what is going on in Yizhou now?" Shi Yuan asked.

"I knew you were going to ask this, Shi Yuan. Hey, what a headache! Now although we have obtained the land of Yizhou, but the local heroes in Yizhou are not convinced of us, and from time to time they will make some small moves for you in private, fortunately this time Kong Ming found out early, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. By the way, Shiyuan, what do you think about this matter? I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

The Haoqiang in Yizhou was not convinced, and Liu Bei Shiyuan certainly knew in his heart that during the entire existence of Shu Han, Haoqiang in Yizhou could be said to have never been sincerely convinced.

"Lord, I think you must have thought of it, if no one was behind the scenes, these people would not have been in such a hurry to make a move, and the people who instigated these people were either Cao Wei's people or Dongwu's people. Now that we are sitting in the land of Yizhou and Jingzhou, and the momentum of development is very rapid, these two countries will definitely not watch us develop. And now that we have just gained Yizhou, and the people's hearts are not attached, now is a good time to incite these people, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will not let go of this opportunity in vain. ”

"Oh! I wonder which country Shiyuan thinks is the most likely? ”

"Soochow. Although Dongwu and we are now in an alliance on the surface, compared to the lord, we must also know that Dongwu will not let us grow, and because of the matter in Jingzhou, we have been very unhappy with Dongwu. Dongwu sent troops to capture Jingzhou, and the lord led his troops to resist Dongwu, and the period of time when the lord left Yizhou happened to be a very good opportunity for Dongwu to incite the local heroes in Yizhou. If Yizhou is in chaos, then the lord will definitely send troops to return to the Yizhou that he has just obtained, and then Dongwu can negotiate with us according to this and ask for Jingzhou, then we will have to agree to any conditions of Dongwu. ”

"Then why isn't it a thief?"

"It is indeed possible for Cao to be a thief, but it is far less than that of Soochow. First, because the land of Yizhou is far away from the Central Plains, even if Yizhou is in civil strife, it is impossible for Cao Cao's army to come to Yizhou in a short time; The second is because after Cao Cao got Hanzhong, he did not send troops to attack Yizhou immediately, either because Cao Cao didn't want Yizhou, or because Cao Cao had some very difficult problems that made him unable to capture Yizhou with peace of mind, Cao Cao's internal has not been stable, I think there must be something wrong with Cao Cao's internal problems, forcing Cao Cao to return to Luoyang to solve these problems, which should also be the reason why Cao Cao did not attack Yizhou. The third is that although Cao Cao is a bit treacherous, he should be a person who disdains to engage in such small actions. ”

Shi Yuan's ability to analyze so thoroughly is, of course, inseparable from his understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms in later generations.

"Those who know me, Shi Yuanye." Liu Bei sighed, and then said.

"I'm sure this matter is these people instigated by Dongwu behind it, but now is not the time for us to turn against Dongwu, I went to Jingzhou this time to sign the agreement with Dongwu, and the land of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang counties was ceded to Dongwu, and it was also to continue to maintain this alliance with Dongwu. Now the biggest threat to us is still Cao Wei in Hanzhong, Hanzhong is not peaceful, Yizhou is not peaceful for a day, Yizhou is not peaceful, so how do we compete with Cao Wei and Dongwu, you must know that Yizhou is our capital to fight with the enemy.

Shi Yuan, I don't know what you think of the local heroes in Yizhou who are not sincere enough to join us? ”

"Lord, since this matter was discovered by Kong Ming, then Kong Ming must be very clear about this matter, I don't know what Kong Ming thinks about this matter?"

Liu Bei looked at Shi Yuan, and then said:

"Kong Ming means the rule of law, to govern Yizhou by the law, in front of the law, no matter how big or small the official position, relatives and distances, everyone is equal, the law is strictly enforced, and the rewards and punishments must be believed."

After Shi Yuan heard what the lord said, he thought of the rule of law adopted by Zhuge Liang in the governance of Shu in later generations, Zhuge Liang relied on the strict and credible rule of law in Shu Han at that time, making Shu Han a country with the best public security during the Three Kingdoms period.

However, Zhuge Liang's rule of law did not make the local heroes of Yizhou sincerely follow, on the contrary, it also more or less damaged the interests of the local heroes of Yizhou, which is why after Deng Ai surrounded Chengdu City in history, many Yizhou heroes persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender.

"My lord, Kong Ming's idea is a very good idea, and this will ensure peace in Yizhou. But the lord should also do another thing, that is, to properly reuse those local heroes in Yizhou, instead of suppressing them all the time. can make these people officials, let them see that following the lord can guarantee their interests, and it can also make them better, so that these local heroes in Yizhou will find a way to protect the interests they get, so that even if Cao Wei and Dongwu send people to incite these people again, these people will not listen to them. ”

After Liu Bei listened to Shi Yuan's words, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, thinking deeply about Shi Yuan's words. After a while, Liu Bei, who had only listened, raised his head and said:

"Shi Yuan has a point."

In the following time, Shi Yuan discussed some matters about Yizhou with the lord, and after about an hour, the lord left Shi Yuan's residence and went back. Shi Yuan looked at Liu Bei's departing back, thinking in his heart that he hoped that the lord would listen to his opinions to ensure the stability of Shu Han's foundation.

Shi Yuan looked up at the stars in the sky, and the stars in the sky were dotted, unlike in later lives, when he wanted to see the stars in the sky at night, it was an unavoidable thing. After a while, Shi Yuan, who only listened to it, sighed softly and turned around and went back to the house. The Shu Han in history is really complicated!

However, with the arrival of reinforcements led by Liu Bei, the day of a decisive battle with Cao's army also came.
