Liu Bei's appearance made Liu Zhang seem to have a backbone, and Liu Bei's plan made Liu Zhang indeed see hope, and made his fear of the New Han Dynasty weaken a little.

persuaded Liu Zhang, and then persuaded Liu Zhang's subordinates and military generals. After all, those military generals who strategize and marry, they all have common interests.

persuaded Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei went to persuade Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu is naturally not as weak as Liu Zhang, on the contrary, he is a little arrogant, and his control over Hanzhong is more solid than Liu Zhang's control over Yizhou. In Hanzhong, it is Zhang Lu who has the final say.

However, Zhang Luheng, he is only in the nest, and he faces the threatening pressure brought by the New Han Dynasty, which makes his life not easy. If there is a way to move the mountain that weighs on his head, he will naturally be willing to cooperate.

In Liu Bei and Sima Zheng's plans, Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, they actually didn't need to send troops. Because, if they really dared to send troops to the Central Plains and dared to send troops to take the initiative to attack the New Han Dynasty, they would not have to wait until now. Their main thing is to defend and hold their territory of influence. Wait, when the New Han Dynasty was crumbling, they sent troops again, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, all they need to pay is money and food.

Money and food are the most fundamental issues in this plan. Moreover, whether it is Liu Zhang or Zhang Lu, they are all willing to pay.

With the support of Yizhou and Hanzhong, Liu Bei secretly entered Xiliang.

The princes of Xiliang, as well as the alien tribes in the Xiliang region. What they lack most is money and food. Of course, the princes of Xiliang, they have already been attacked by the New Han army. Destruction is imminent. And Zhong Xuan, who was sent to Xiliang by Cao Cao, although he has been committed to contacting the princes of Xiliang, and has the intention to twist all the Xiliang forces suppressed by the New Han Army into a rope, but the problem is that Zhong Xuan is just a guy who talks nonsense, and there is no way to achieve the conditions he promised. Therefore, the Xiliang forces will not listen to him at all.

But as soon as Liu Bei arrived. A qiē is logical. It is an inevitable trend for them to unite and confront the New Han Army together. They just don't trust each other. I couldn't talk about it, and why can't I believe it, that is, everyone is so poor that if someone provides them with a lot of money and food, so that they don't have to calculate with each other for those two mouthfuls of food, they will naturally listen to the advice and form a coalition.

That, originally. Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu. They did promise Cao Cao that they would transport a batch of money and grain from the west to Xiliang to supply it to the forces of Xiliang and support them to resist the New Han army. However, in the past, the pressure of the New Han Dynasty was not directly exerted on them, so neither Liu Zhang nor Zhang Lu would really pay attention to this matter. Even if they did receive a lot of benefits from Cao Cao, they just dealt with it casually.

But now it's different, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, they both sent military horses and escorted a batch of money and grain to Xiliang, so that those princes in Xiliang saw the benefits.

On the other hand, there are more urgent needs for money and food, such as Di and Qiang. They met with Liu Bei, who came to meet them, and after receiving the gift from Liu Bei, where would they care too much? In order to get more money and food, and in order for their tribe to survive a winter safely, they naturally obeyed Liu Bei's call and gathered military horses respectively, preparing to attack the Xinhan army in Xiliang. However, in recent years, they have been fighting against the forces of the princes of Xiliang. These foreign leaders can't trust the Xiliang princes like Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Han Sui, and so on. Therefore, although they each assembled and prepared to launch an attack on the New Han Dynasty, they did not agree to form an alliance with those Western Liang princes, and were unwilling to lead an army to gather with them.

For this, Liu Bei couldn't convince them for a while. The only way to do this was for the time being, let them go their separate ways for the time being, and just wait for his order to launch an attack on the New Han army together.

Well, speaking of which, the Xiliang alien race, they have not directly clashed with the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Army for the time being, after all, the place where their tribe is located has not yet been close to the place recovered by the New Han Army, and they have always come close to the territory of those princes. And those Xiliang princes, most of them were Dong Zhuo's subordinates at the beginning, all of them were not kind people, they were under the blow of the New Han Army, and they did not know how to produce, and if they wanted to maintain, they had to rely on looting to maintain. In addition, they actually didn't look at those alien people to others, so they would often send troops to rob the alien tribes in Xiliang.

This is a bit funny to think about sometimes. Originally, it has always been the majority of foreigners who robbed the Han people, but in Xiliang, no matter how fierce those aliens were, they had to suffer from the enslavement and looting of the Xiliang princes.

Think about it, those aliens, and those princes of Xiliang are themselves mortal enemies, and now, if they want to unite and attack the New Han army together, can they be willing to unite with the mortal enemy?

However, in general, the work done by Liu Bei was quite successful. Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were responsible for providing money and grain, and would send military horses to escort money and grain into Xiliang. Even if the alien people and the forces of the Xiliang princes are unwilling to join forces at present, it will not affect the overall situation.

Then, Liu Bei hurried to the outside of Youzhou Pass to meet the king of Wuhuan.

In fact, the real and most important thing is the Wuhuan tribe.

Whether it is Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu, the princes of Xiliang, or those Xiliang aliens, even if they are all assembled, they all send troops to attack the New Han Dynasty together. In fact, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the New Han Dynasty.

Because, under the current shape, who dares to hope that Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong will be able to go out of Jingzhou? Does Liu Zhang have the ability to wave his army to Jingzhou? Can Zhang Lu's military horses in Hanzhong be able to fight outside the pass? This is unlikely, even if the New Han Dynasty opens the door of convenience and lets their army out, will they dare?

Therefore, Liu Bei didn't expect the military horses of Yizhou and Hanzhong to play any role at all, and the role of these two places was to be able to provide Liu Bei with a steady stream of money and food. It can provide a more stable rear base for the coalition forces.

In addition, Xiliang is the same. No matter how the alien races of Xiliang and those princes toss, can they still hope that they can capture Tianshui. Kill to Chang'an? That's obviously unlikely.

And the reason why it is necessary to unite the alien races and princes of Xiliang first is to contain the New Han army and attract the attention of the New Han Dynasty.

The only people who really pose a threat to the New Han Dynasty and can really shake the foundation of the New Han Dynasty are the Wuhuan people in the north.

Similarly, in the past ten years, because of the excavation of the New Han Dynasty. In particular, the New Han Dynasty destroyed the desert Huns' deterrence of their Wuhuan people, making the Wuhuan people much more honest. Basically, they didn't dare to invade the Han border on a large scale again. At most, there are occasionally a few small alien thieves sneaking in and doing evil. But he immediately fled back to the savannah.

However, the Wuhuan people are not Huns after all, and among the aliens who originally returned to the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan tribe should be regarded as a foreign race closer to the Han people. At least. Its alien tribesmen have indeed honestly studied the culture of the Han people and lived according to the customs of the Han people for a period of time. Especially those aliens who have been living not far from the Great Wall, they are strict with their sinicization. Most of the aliens, they not only herd, but also farmed, the same. They will also trade with the Han Chinese.

That is, the Wuhuan people. Even if they did not rely on the plundering of the Han Chinese, they could barely make ends meet. Being able to support oneself naturally has a lot less to do to plunder the Han people. Of course, that is because of the excavation of the New Han Dynasty and the strength of the New Han army, so that the Wuhuan people did not dare to invade the Han Dynasty lightly, and they, most of them, would rather use their cattle and sheep to trade with the Han people for their daily life and grain, rather than loot casually.

However, this does not mean that the Wuhuan people have been sinicized, and they have all become good citizens. Sometimes, especially when faced with a choice of survival, they would rather plunder the money and food of the Han people to survive.

This year, because of a natural disaster in the grassland, most of the cattle and sheep of the Wuhuan people died of disease, which directly made them face a dilemma of having no food to winter.

In this way, many Wuhuan people, they have to set their sights on the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Wuhuan King Badun, he had a battle with the New Han Army in Tianzhen, that is, before the New Han Dynasty destroyed the Xiongnu. However, that battle can be said to be a lifelong shame, and he has never forgotten it until now. For the battle that year, I always thought about revenge.

personally gave his woman Hongyue to Liu Yi, this kind of shame made Bang Dun hate to eat Liu Yi's meat raw.

But for so many years, he has not dared to make a move, because the New Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, and he does not dare to use troops against the Han Dynasty. What's more, when he was in Tianzhen, his prestige was frustrated, and many people in the clan were dissatisfied with him, making it difficult for him to mobilize the entire clan's army at once.

In fact, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, when the heroes were fighting, Bunton also wanted to send troops to Middle-earth, but unfortunately, the New Han Army at that time had always been wary of them, and did not participate in the competition for hegemony among the world's heroes. This has made Badon dare not act lightly.

This time, the visit of an uninvited guest made Badon immediately realize that this might be an opportunity.

The New Han Dynasty seemed to be more powerful, but the soldiers and horses of the New Han Dynasty were finally placed in the battle of Middle-earth, and the garrison outside the pass was much weaker. And the most important thing is that the Wuhuan clan itself is facing a crisis of extinction at this time.

Most of the tribesmen have died many animals due to natural disasters, leaving them without supplies for the winter. This, when the clansmen were hesitant and forgetful, he, the Wuhuan King, just stood up and brought the clansmen out of the crisis and predicament, becoming their heroes, so that they respected themselves more from now on. The true obedience to one's own command.

He obeyed the mysterious man's advice and appealed to his people, telling them that if they still wanted to live, they must obey his orders and lead the tribes of the steppe to their designated assembly place. Tell the Sù people that he has money and food, and as long as he obeys his orders, then he will have food and materials for them to spend the winter.

In this way, the Wuhuan people seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness, heard the call of the Wuhuan king, and hurriedly raised the clan to assemble at the designated place. The main thing, of course, is not the call, but the temptation of food.

This mysterious person is naturally Liu Bei.

Very smooth. It can be regarded as just a beautiful thing, so that Liu Bei encountered this time.

In particular, the Wuhuan King is stunned. He himself was hostile to the New Han Dynasty and had an indelible old grudge with Liu Yi. Over the years, although he was very clever to suppress the hatred in his heart, he did not provoke the New Han Dynasty, that was because the New Han Dynasty was strong, and they could not afford to provoke it. Also, because of his loss of prestige. So that many tribes of the Wuhuan tribe will no longer listen to him.

But now, it may be in response to that sentence, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He may not be a gentleman, but the hatred with Liu Yi seems to have passed for a long time. It seems that it is also time for revenge.

Anyway, even if there was no lobbying from that mysterious person. This year, he must also attack the New Han Dynasty. He didn't have a choice. It is necessary to loot a large amount of money, food and materials from the Han Dynasty before the winter, so that it is possible to let his people survive this winter safely.

And Liu Bei's arrival gave Badun more reliance, and also made his ambition even more inflated. Following Liu Bei's plan, he could really re-establish his prestige in the hearts of his clansmen and become a hero of his clansmen again.

In order to rally more clansmen, he listened to Liu Bei's Jianyì. The days of the invasion of the Great Han were rejected. and Xiliang, Yizhou, Hanzhong forces, agreed to start the army together. And Liu Bei. It's the one who threads the needle through it.

The plan should be said to be relatively perfect, and Liu Bei's lobbying can be regarded as quite successful.

But whether things will turn out the way they think they will be is an unknown.

At least, now, a little bit has changed.

Liu Bei is now, just after agreeing with the Wuhuan King to start an army, and is bypassing the desert and returning to Xiliang.

On the Yizhou side, Zhang Fei had already led the army to attack Yizhou.

Liu Bei was not in Yizhou, and when Liu Zhang received the letter, he panicked. He was worried that he would not be able to defend the Shu Road, and he was afraid that the New Han army would kill in Sichuan.

Originally, there was a batch of grain and grass to be sent to Xiliang immediately, but Liu Zhang did not dare to let the Yizhou army escorting grain and grass go west. He temporarily halted the food delivery army.

Well, to enter Xiliang from Yizhou and Hanzhong, you must first pass through a section of road that was controlled by the Xinhan military. If they don't send a large army to escort them, then their money and food may fall into the hands of the New Han army. Therefore, the grain protection army, Yizhou, must send more than 100,000 horses, and Hanzhong Zhanglu will also send 100,000 horses.

In particular, the news that Leng Bao was killed by Zhang Fei came back, which frightened Liu Zhang even more so that he did not dare to let this Yizhou army leave Chengdu.

In this way, because its grain transportation was temporarily interrupted, the situation in Xiliang changed.

Originally, according to Liu Bei's plan, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu were asked to send grain and grass to Xiliang in an endless stream, part of it to those Xiliang princes, and part of it to those Xiliang aliens, leaving a part for him to send to the Wuhuan tribe. Don't send too much at once, lest they get enough food and then don't go according to plan. Liu Bei believed that as long as there was food, he could drive those alien races.

Jia Xu had already returned to Xiliang, and under the escort of Ma Teng's father and son, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou, he arrived at the camp of an alien tribe.

Originally, it was not easy to visit the foreign tribes one by one and find their tribal settlements for a while, but now they are gathered in the Longyou area, echoing the alliance of the Xiliang princes in Jincheng and Wuwei, and faintly forming a flanking attack on the New Han army. But in this way, it just allowed Jia Xu to directly meet the leaders of these alien tribes, and even a large number of them.

Di, Qiang and other foreign tribes, they are scattered all over Xiliang, and they usually do not belong to each other, but there is generally a king. They were elected together.

Of course, in addition to the two tribes of Di and Qiang, there will be other foreign races, they are not the blood of the Di and Qiang tribes, and the appearance of people also looks very different. Individual tribes, in fact, are white.

The tent of the alien army is full of wild customs. Whether it is outside the tent or inside the tent, there are some animal skulls hung with different animal bones, which can represent the totem of an alien tribe.

Darijitai is the tribal leader of the Di tribe, and he has known Ma Teng for a long time, and the relationship is not too bad. In addition, the king of the Qiang nationality is Che Lifeng, and Ma Teng does not know him. I don't know if it is the father of the later Qiang king Cheriji.

The two alien kings, of the same level, sat side by side on the throne. It seems that the relationship between the two is good, and they are full of affection.

Ma Teng and Ma Chao stepped forward first, meeting them with the etiquette of their aliens, and explaining their intentions to them. Introduce Jia Xu to their acquaintance.

From the eyes of the aliens here, Wangmateng's father and son, Jia Xu and others are not full of hostility, and of course, they will not be with any good intentions. After all, these aliens have never stopped fighting with the Han people in recent decades, and they are actually quite hostile to the Han people.

And not everyone of these alien leaders can speak the Han language, and many foreign leaders can't understand the Chinese language.

Jia Xu came here, not to negotiate with them or anything, but to directly persuade them to surrender.

Therefore, Jia Xu first questioned them directly, questioned them, gathered their tribal army, and came here with their intentions.

In the face of Jia Xu's unkind questioning, many foreign leaders were very dissatisfied, shouting something, probably to demonstrate to Jia Xu and others.

However, Jia Xu naturally did not show weakness, and first told them that the New Han Dynasty was now strong, and told them how the powerful Huns were destroyed by the New Han army. Question them if they also want to be like the Huns, completely disappearing in the desert. (To be continued......)
