Liu Bei was very happy.

Of course, his son has been successful in martial arts and defeated the world's brave general Chen Dao, which is indeed something to be happy about.

But it only made Liu Bei feel a little relieved in his heart.

Because as a hero in the world, his attention is still on the general trend of the world.

To be exact, the upcoming battle of Hanzhong.

The land of Hanzhong, "the fertile soil is beautiful, the tribute is out, and the three Shu are slightly", it can be said that Hanzhong has developed agriculture since ancient times, and the products are abundant, and the Emperor Gaozu occupied Hanzhong, which was deeply rooted in the roots, and then had a great cause.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu cut Hanzhong, "and put righteous rice and meat, the county is in the righteous house", "the people are happy", to the sixteenth year of Jian'an, tens of thousands of people in Guanxi flowed into Hanzhong due to the war, and it is also known as "the people of Hanchuan, 100,000 households, wealth and soil"

It can be seen that with the fertile land of Hanzhong, it is not a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of people and stick to it, even if more than 100,000 people in Kansai are added in a short period of time, there is no famine in Hanzhong.

However, last year, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, allowing this world's hero to seize this fat land, but also made Cao Cao complacent and made a "mediocre" decision.

He not only wanted to give up the "fertile soil" of Hanzhong. He also ordered Zhang Ji and Yang Fu to take a total of more than 60,000 households and about 300,000 people in Wudu to take Qishan Road and Chencang Road and migrate to Jingzhao, Fufeng, and Tianshui.

Earlier, he ordered Du to raid more than 80,000 people in the western section of Hanzhong to take the Baochuan Road and migrate to Luoyang and Yecheng, traveling more than 2,000 miles all the way.

The above total is almost 400,000 people, plus tens of thousands of defenders of the original Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao's reinforcements, the total number of soldiers and civilians is about 500,000.

The Cao Jun Grain Road, from Hedong through Chang'an, and then through the Baochuan Road to Hanzhong, traveled 1,500 miles, and in the entire Yongliang area, the people were only hundreds of thousands.

You must know that in the feudal era, mobilizing 150,000 or 60,000 people would lead to a commotion in the world and a lot of effort. Since Cao Cao relocated the people within his own territory, he could not plunder and feed the enemy on the enemy's land, so he could only rely on himself for all kinds of logistical supplies. The relocation was protracted, and to a large extent depended on the county officials, so the cost of moving people within their own territory and in the same number exceeded the cost of the army. The number of migrants for whom Zhang Ji, Yang Fu, and Du Xi have data is almost three or four hundred thousand, accounting for about one-tenth of Cao Wei's registered population

Therefore, at this time, not only did the pressure of the Cao army in Hanzhong increase sharply and was on the verge of collapse, but even the core area of Cao Wei was also unable to bear the forced labor of the relocated people, and the taxes levied because of the money and grain required by the relocated people, which naturally caused all kinds of rebellions, and rebellions broke out one after another in Luhun County of Hongnong County, Liang County of Yin in Henan, and Jia County of Yingchuan County.

It can be because of the relocation of the people, and as a result, the people rebelled almost all the way. Just this year, there was also a rebellion in Xuchang in Yingchuan in collusion with Guan Yu, in addition, Luoyang and Yecheng as the terminal of the relocation, must be a large number of construction, building houses and fields.

You must know that Yin, Yingchuan County, Nanyang County, and Ye County in Henan are all the core economic areas of Cao Wei, and these places are either rebellions by the common people or large-scale construction, and it can be said that the country is on the verge of collapse.

As the late Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, who stood out from many warlords, immediately realized that it was a good opportunity to seize Hanzhong, and he was already actively preparing, once the army was assembled, he led the army north to Hanzhong, seize this fertile land, retain the population of Hanzhong, occupy Shangyong, and connect with the Jingzhou group downstream, directly threatening Cao Cao's hinterland.

Therefore, if Cao Cao can be severely damaged in the next battle of Hanzhong, then since the Cao Wei group will be turbulent, at that time, it will be Longzhong's "change in the world" inside, and he can attack with his second brother Guan Yu in two ways, compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains, and realize the ambition of Kuang Fu Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but draw his sword and howl.

However, he just walked out of the bedroom, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, felt the slightest coolness, and the blood in his heart slowly calmed down.

"Husband, it's late at night, it's time to rest, and we're going to leave tomorrow. Mrs. Wu came over and gently clothed him.

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Madame has also been busy for a day, so rest early." ”

The two walked to the inner room together, and Liu Bei said casually: "Since Adou entered Shu, thanks to his wife's care, now he has made a small achievement, thank you to Mrs." ”

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: "The heir has a strong personality, not only can take care of himself, but also studies and learns martial arts, never lags behind, and is a good example for his husband." ”

"Haha......" Liu Bei was overjoyed.

He just casually thanked Mrs. Wu, but he didn't expect Mrs. Wu to have such a high opinion of Adou.

It seems that this Adou is no longer the playful, innocent and indifferent attitude he used to have, and he has really grown up.

......

Early the next morning, Liu Bei was neatly dressed and came to the barracks.

This is the sun has risen from the junction of heaven and earth in the distance, Liu Bei stood under the point general, glanced at the sun in the distance, only felt prideful, turned to Zhao Yun who was standing on his side: "The battle of Hanzhong, Zilong thinks our army has a chance of winning?"

Zhao Yundao: "Cao Cao is complacent, Hanzhong is shaken, the people of Yanzhou in Yuzhou have fled, and our army is 10,000, which is enough to break Cao's army of 100,000." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "I think so too." It's just that Cao Cao has 800,000 soldiers, and we only have 50,000. ”

Zhao Yun said: "800,000 soldiers can't go into battle together. Let's fight separately, Hanzhong will kill him 100,000, and Guanzhong will sweep him away 100,000. ”

Liu Bei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Speaking of the Northern Expedition, Kuang Fu Han Family, Zilong's words are always the most in line with my heart." A tiger can eat ten fat cows, but not in a day. ”

The two laughed.

Liu Bei raised his head and held his sword high and stepped on the platform. At this time, tens of thousands of troops have been neatly arranged on the training ground, chess flags, high horn red cards, swords, axes, swords, halberds, and forests like a forest.

There are few horses in Shuzhong, and the battle of Hanzhong is hidden in the mountains, so except for the Bai Yu soldiers and some cavalry troops in Jingzhou, most of them are infantry.

Liu Bei glanced over and saw many familiar faces. Liu Bei's basic plate is the Youyan boy who started with him back then, more than 20 years have passed, and the little soldiers of that year, the worst of them have also become the post of Sima of other departments.

Everyone fought together in the south and the north, although they have repeatedly lost, but with Liu Bei as the leader, everyone has never lost confidence, and now they have a basic plate, everyone believes that following Liu Bei will definitely create a big scene.

"Let's go!"

Liu Bei gave an order, and the army slowly set out.

The army was dispatched, covering the sky and the sun, Liu Bei pressed the reins and walked slowly, and at a glance, Liu Chan was already in place, riding on the "stepping swallow" horse, dressed in a drape, although he was only a twelve-year-old boy, he was full of energy, and faintly had the feeling of a young tiger general.

Thinking of yesterday's promise to Liu Chan to go on the expedition with him, Liu Bei's heart warmed.

He knew that this time the battle of Hanzhong, although it was difficult, but there was a chance of victory, Adou was by his side, safe and worry-free, so he said: "Adou, the war is dangerous, you have to be cautious." ”

Feng Zhou arched his hand and said: "It is Zen's wish to go out with my father to cleanse the country of thieves." ”

Liu Bei was greatly relieved and said: "Okay, then you can follow your uncle and join the army in the Bai Yu soldiers, and you can participate in the military meeting in the Chinese military tent in the future." ”

"No!" Feng Zhou bowed.

That is, to join the military. Joining the army or joining the military, the name of this staff officer's military affairs, is similar to that of later generations, as the saying goes, staff officers do not have a commander, and they do not speak loudly. Liu Bei asked Feng Zhou to join the army, but it was just to let him see war.

Seeing that Feng Zhou rode a horse to report to the ranks of the Bai Yu soldiers, Liu Bei smiled and said to Chen Zhi: "Arrange for two veterans to take him, don't let him be embarrassed and make jokes, and besides, don't tell everyone about Adou's identity." ”

"No!" Chen Zhi nodded in agreement.

......

After the army left Jinguancheng and came to the official road, Liu Bei ordered: "The army marches forward and goes to Jiameng Pass." ”

"Order!"

The middle officer shouted, the small flag in his hand was raised a few times, and the flags in the hands of the four commanders continued to unfold and change, and tens of thousands of army vehicles were rolling, horses and horses, and rolling iron were galloping towards Jiamengguan.

In the evening, the army was stationed in Luo County, and after Liu Bei finished handling the military affairs of the day, he walked out of the Chinese army camp, saw Chen Zhi on the side, and asked casually: "Adou went out with the army for the first time, did he cause chaos in the army along the way?"

Chen Zhi replied with a smile when he heard this: "The lord guessed wrong, although Adou is young, he is a qualified military person, and he is now eating together in the army." ”

Liu Bei was startled, then a smile appeared on his face, and said, "He didn't spare his work, let's go, let's take a look." ”

Liu Bei strode out of the tent of the temporary Chinese army and came to the garrison of the Bai Yu soldiers.

This white soldier is very close to the big tent of the Chinese army, it is a military station compound, it was originally a place where the baggage convoy stayed and stationed, a wall was built around it, and three thousand white soldiers were stationed in the wall, and the rest were stationed outside the door, at this time the bonfire was lit everywhere, and the air was filled with a burst of meat fragrance.

Liu Bei looked around and saw the soldiers sitting around the fire, with a big rice pot on the fire, the slaughtered fat pig had been put out of the pot, the large pieces of meat were tumbling in the soup pot, the soldiers were laughing and talking, chewing steamed buns, gnawing bones, and eating fragrantly.

Liu Bei was dressed in civilian clothes, and just bypassed the two bonfires, a figure suddenly flashed out of the oblique thorns, grabbed him, and said softly: "Meet the lord, meet the guards." ”

Liu Bei looked at it, but he recognized this person, it was the veteran Chen Zhi who arranged to take care of Fengzhou, Chen Geng, a native of Jingzhou. He casually asked, "What about Adou?"

Chen Geng smiled, pointed quietly to the distance not far away, and said in a playful voice: "Back to the lord, where Liu joined the army, his subordinates were not allowed to follow, and his subordinates felt that joining the army was fun with the people, so they only patrolled nearby, and did not approach." ”

Liu Bei looked over there, only to see the fire blazing, reflecting a young and handsome face, and saw Feng Zhou wearing an ordinary soldier's shirt and sitting on the ground with those soldiers, side by side, with a wooden stick inserted into the Hu cake to roast on the fire, holding a big bone stick in his hand from time to time to bite, chatting happily.

A tall veteran smashed a punch on his shoulder with a big grin, and laughed loudly: "Boy, our Bai Yu soldiers are carefully selected pawns by the lord, each of them is very strong, can pull a three-stone bow, can dance a ten-pound gun, and three or five strong men can't get close, look at your little guy is not very old, and his body has not yet been armed, what can he do? Which is Cao Cao's opponent?"

Feng Zhou smiled, didn't care, and said: "This big brother, I heard that your accent is from Jingzhou, then we are fellow villagers." ”

"Haha, yes, I'm also from Jingzhou, but although the army pays attention to the friendship of fellow villagers, if you are weak, you will only be bullied. ”

"Of course I know this, but don't hide it from my eldest brother, although I am young, but when it comes to personal martial arts, I have a famous teacher to teach me, but I am afraid that among the white soldiers, none of them are my opponents. ”
