Zhou Yu, who raised troops in Baling, after hearing about this, vomited blood again, and took the initiative to ask the temporary acting governor of the capital, and Lu Su also agreed to go to the throne, but Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others, on the grounds that Shanyue rebelled and the Jiangdong army had just experienced a defeat in Hefei, strongly admonished Sun Quan, and Sun Quan finally rejected Zhou Yu's request for life on the grounds that Zhou Yu's illness was cured.

……………………………………………

A year later.

With the cooperation of the barbarians and Jiaozhou Shixie, the Southwest Silk Road was opened quickly, and it left Dian Prefecture in three months, after which a large number of barbarians voluntarily entered the more southern areas to open the way for wages.

In order to communicate with the Han Dynasty, Luo Yue and the body poison country opened up from the other end, and half a year later, the Luo Yue country and the body poison were successfully connected, and the cone-shaped shape of the Southwest Silk Road was formed, and a large number of merchants, explorers, refugees, and monks began to embark on this road.

Kangding Daying Army Tun Zhancheng Rice, trial planting success, a large number of Zhancheng rice seeds introduced into Jingyi.

In addition to the fertile fields with abundant water sources, a large number of dry rice fields were developed under the supervision of Fan Lixiang, Li Yan, Jiang Wan, Huang Quan, Wang Fu, Dong He, Cai Wei, etc.

The area of grain cultivation in Jingyi has more than doubled, and the introduction of high-yield and easy-to-raise livestock and vegetables has also greatly contributed to the increase of agricultural production.

With the opening of the Silk Road, the silk, porcelain, paper and other things of Jingyi merchants were successfully exported, and Luo Yue and other countries purchased a large number of them, especially paper, a car with thousands of pounds of paper pages, traveling on the Silk Road, the price of these papers was more than ten times that of paper in Shuzhong, but it was still very popular.

After purchasing a large amount of products, the poison merchants sold them exclusively to the Kushan Empire in the west. Shuzhong merchants finally began to taste the dividends of the Silk Road.

And another result of the Silk Road. It is a large number of poisonous monks entering. As early as the two monks of Hongye Changqing, one large and one small, were courteous to Liu Zhang, a powerful figure in Chengdu, they braved hardships and dangers in large numbers and entered Shu from the southwest barren forest.

After the opening of the Silk Road, the poisonous Buddhist churches began to send a large number of believers to Jingyi to preach.

Nowadays, hard work is the accumulation of merit. It is the cultivation of the fate of the future, the concept that a brave soldier can ascend to the Elysium after death, as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as good as good and evil retribution, and the people who believe in Buddhism advocate hard work, even if they are tired to death, they are smiling, because they are sure that they will receive good rewards in the next life.

Those who are lazy, the sons and daughters who enjoy the glory and wealth, will definitely suffer in the next life.

Soldiers who believe in Buddhism can only go to the Western Elysium if they die in battle. Otherwise, you will fall into the hell soul, the originally brave Sichuan army. With this belief, it is more indomitable and not afraid of any war.

The introduction of Buddhism caused panic in Zhang Lu of Mount Emei, although the Heavenly Master Dao was not valued by Liu Zhang, but it was also a monopoly, and Zhang Lu's followers were more than 100,000.

However, with the introduction of Buddhism and the support of the government, a large number of people began to believe in Buddhism, and Zhang Lu hurriedly asked his Taoist priests to spread local Taoism everywhere.

In order to gain the support of the government, Taoism, like Buddhism, also began to change its concept, believing that diligence and courage are two virtues of self-cultivation, and the idea of non-action has been greatly weakened.

As an additional condition, the monks led by Momiji, in addition to preaching, also had to advertise the insect breeding in the Yinyue Cave in Nanchu, saying that insects and other nutritious insects can not only enhance physical fitness and longevity, but also do good deeds for these insects.

Jingyi folk gradually rose the habit of raising insects and eating insects, as long as the heart can accept it, these nutritious insects, greatly enriched the meat composition of the people, many poor people, who used to be yellow-skinned and thin, began to have a ruddy vitality.

Insect breeding makes up for the lack of meat, because people need enough meat, but livestock and poultry are difficult to raise, plus insects are rich in nutrients and supported by faith.

Eating healthy, eating comfortably, Jingyi soon rose insect craze, countless insect breeding methods were explored by the people, and the craftsman's room also organized special people to raise insects and improve breeding methods.

Insects soon stood tall in the meat world with livestock and poultry, and insects were the first to be loved by the people, and they just wanted to break out of a locust plague and pick up locusts to eat.

In accordance with Fazheng's method, Liu Zhang sent people to the Western Regions to buy Sanxue Cordyceps from the locals with a large amount of money, and sure enough, the first batch of Cordyceps was shipped back to Chengdu half a year later.

After Huang Yueying ate it, her condition did not deteriorate, and there were signs of improvement, but the improvement was very slow, and if it continued like this, I am afraid that it would not be able to recover to half of the previous level for hundreds of years.

Huang Yueying only regarded the military advisor as a martial artist, and taught Guan Yinping knife techniques that followed him every day, Guan Yinping knife techniques improved by leaps and bounds, so powerful that he was envious after seeing it, every time he took advantage of Liu Zhang to see Huang Yueying, he asked Huang Yueying for hammer techniques and practiced hard.

In 204 AD, Huang Yueying set the period of internal affairs for Liu Zhang, which was still one to two years away, although it experienced the rebellion of the Shi clan, the Battle of Xiqiang, and the Battle of Nanzhong.

However, due to the prosperity of commerce, the expansion of agriculture, the spread of double-cropping rice, upland rice, advanced agricultural tools and farming methods, and the purchase of large quantities of grain from Jiangdong and the north, Jing Yi was expected to be able to hoard enough military rations.

Cao Cao in the north made progress in the Northern Expedition again, taking advantage of the competition between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang brothers, breaking through Nanpi, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry killed Yuan Tan, the strength of the Yuan family was greatly damaged, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were in a slump in Jizhou, and the general trend of Hebei was decided.

Liu Zhang and Huang Yue Xiao Furong held a wedding, on the occasion of the New Year, Jing Yi Wenwu was planning the new year's business and agriculture planning, trying to store grain by all means, and the war between Xiliang Liu Bei and Han Sui came to an end.

And this final war directly broke Jing Yi's internal affairs, and Liu Zhang had to go on the Northern Expedition in advance.

Liu Bei's expedition to Xiliang, Han Sui was stable in Xiliang, although he was suspicious of the warlords because of the killing of Ma Teng, but the strength was still huge, Liu Bei led Zhuge Liang Pang Tong and other strategists, Guan Zhang Zhao Ma Chen and other fierce generals, it took a year to successfully force Han Sui into a desperate situation.

Han Sui's 80,000 army was defeated again and again, a large number of vassal warlords surrendered to Liu Bei, and Han Sui only left more than 30,000 people from the headquarters of the Eight Cavalry of the Banner Headquarters, and fled all the way to the west to the shore of Haizi Lake.

Liu Beijun attacked from two sides, Ma Chao on the left and Zhao Yun on the right, and outflanked Han Sui together, and the Chinese army Pang Tong led the army to advance, and Han Sui was forced into a desperate situation and fled into the vast poplar forest on the shore of Haizi Lake.

"Han Sui fled into the poplar forest, intending to hold on to our army, although Han Sui was defeated, but it has been active in Xiliang for more than ten years, the tree has deep roots, and the remaining party in Liangzhou is all over the place, Han Sui will not die for a day, and our army will not be stable for a day, so our army must behead Han Sui as soon as possible."

Pang Tong sat on the main seat, looking at the generals in the hall with solemn eyes, and Jiang Yin sat quietly on the side.

"Military advisor, the last general Hu Ban, is willing to lead the army to capture the poplar forest, this battle is not victorious, and he is willing to be a military lawyer."

"The last general Ma Tie is willing to go."

The generals asked for their lives.

Pang Tong pressed his hand and said: "The generals are brave, lead the army to attack, and they will break the poplar forest, but have you seen it, the poplar forest is higher, and it is a swooping trend, our army is attacking from the back, and Han Sui's cavalry swoops down, and our army will suffer heavy casualties."

Now that Han Sui is already a lost dog, it is not worth us to use so many troops, and the heroic soldiers must stay in the contest with Cao Cao and Liu Zhang. ”

"The military advisor must have thought of a clever plan."

"That's nature, look." Pang Tong asked the soldiers to unfold the map, "The poplar forest is against Haizi Lake, the west is the sea, the north is General Zhao Yun, the south is General Ma Chao, and the east is our main army, Han Sui is difficult to fly."

However, in the narrow area near Haizi Lake, there is a reed swing that leads directly to the poplar forest, and if we attack the poplar forest from this place, Han Sui will inevitably be unexpected, and he will definitely be able to wipe out Han Sui's army in one fell swoop. ”

"The last general, please take your life."

"The last general is willing to attack the reeds."

Pang Tong said with a smile: "This move is very important, and it is also the last battle to defeat Han Sui, and this army division should personally command the surprise attack." ”

Pang Tong and Jiang Yin led Liu Bei's soldiers and touched the reeds, Jiang Yin whispered to Pang Tong: "Sir, didn't Han Sui really expect us to enter from the reeds?" ”

"It's hard to say." Pang Tong said: "Han Sui is known as the fox of Xiliang, and it stands to reason that he should set up firefighters in the reeds, but his fox is mostly used in intrigue, and he is far from being called a fox in terms of tactics, so maybe he really didn't defend here."

No matter what, if we enter the reeds, Han Sui will not light the fire, we will light it ourselves. ”

"Isn't that too risky?"

"Han Sui is very influential in Xiliang, no less than Ma Chao, escaped from the reeds, can only defect to Xiqiang, it will be of great help to Shu Hou's northern expedition, take a little risk, it is worth it."

Liu Beijun went deep into the reeds, and suddenly countless rockets poured towards Liu Beijun, and then the shouts of killing were loud, and the reeds ignited a raging fire, Pang Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Han Sui was still a little brainy and didn't let himself take risks.

The fire broke out, Pang Tong and Jiang Yin ignored the army, fled to Haizi Lake, Liu Beijun was in chaos in the fire, a large number of Xiliang iron horsemen rushed out from the reeds, and broke Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop, Liu Beijun hurriedly fled backwards, Han Suijun chased closely, followed the defeated Liu Beijun, and rushed to the defense line outside the reeds.

"Sir, the Xiliang Army has passed." Pang Tong and Jiang Yin were lying in the mud on the shore of Haizi Lake, and Jiang Yin whispered to Pang Tong.

"There are only less than 10,000 interceptors outside, and with these routs, if Han Sui can't rush out, then he can't complain."

Pang Tong grabbed a handful of reed grass and lit it, and handed it to Jiang Yin, "Come, burn me." ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yin looked at Pang Tong in a daze.

"If you are told to burn it, it will be burned, anyway, it has grown ugly enough, and it will be okay if it is ugly again, as long as you don't burn to death, hurry up."

Jiang Yin finally understood what Pang Tong meant, set fire to Pang Tong's clothes and hair, and the fire ignited on Pang Tong's body, Pang Tong screamed in pain, he couldn't stand it anymore, and jumped into the lake at once, and when Jiang Yin dragged him up, Pang Tong had already fainted.
