It's been a year in the blink of an eye.

Although it was originally agreed that Wei Tao would personally lead the troops against Liu Bei, in the end Wei Tao still did not set off.

Although Liu Bei personally led the troops, as Wei Tao thought, Zhuge Liang was only cautious in his life, and Zhuge Liang was planning for him, but in his actions, he was based on ensuring his own troops.

Although there were several times when Liu Bei gained the upper hand, and even lost some territory because of this, but after all, it did not hurt the root, as for the consumption of troops, compared to Wei Tao, Liu Bei is probably more heartbroken.

It is precisely because of this that although Wei Tao said that he was in Luoyang, he did not have a trace of urgency, but he was even more careful about his own territory.

The four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Huanghuang Han, I don't know how many people are attached, but with the formulation of Wei Tao's various benevolent policies, reducing the burden of the people, and gradually the people under his command are also attached to the people.

"Are Cao Cao and Liu Bei unwilling to surrender after all?"

Listening to the reply of the newly sent envoy, Wei Tao sighed slightly.

Maybe being an emperor will always think that he is unique in the world, and everyone must obey it!

Wei Tao sighed secretly in his heart, maybe he still overestimated himself.

Wei Tao has already sent three envoys in this year, and the person he is talking about is naturally the world today.

Now Wei Tao has the trend of unifying the world, and the people under his rule are gradually peaceful, unlike other emperors, Wei Tao has no idea of killing the Liu family.

Therefore, when sending an envoy, Cao Cao and Liu Bei could be crowned kings, of course, this letter naturally cannot be a real seal, but Wei Tao has made all kinds of promises. Especially for Cao Cao. even promised him that he would lead the army to the west. In the future, it will be remembered in history.

It's a pity that just as Wei Tao has to be called the emperor at this point, it is also impossible to say that there is a retreat when he reaches the status of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. If you don't talk about Nafeng, even peace is difficult.

"That's it, now that it's over, it's inevitable to fight in person, kill Liu Bei first and then pacify Cao Cao!"

Wei Tao has made up his mind.

This year, Wei Tao naturally can't live with a naïve mind, and he has been making various preparations for the past year. Accumulate grain and grass, reserve armor, and start a war at any time.

However, Wei Tao also knew that it was difficult to do in Sichuan and Shu, and at that time, the most powerful Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under his command would not be useful, so Wei Tao had to prepare more.

At that moment, Wei Tao immediately summoned Mi Zhu.

"Zizhong, how about I asked you to contact the Chuanzhong family as a merchant some time ago, but there is news back?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is difficult!"

Mi Zhu followed Wei Tao in his early years, and Mi Zhu was Wei Tao's concubine, so there were fewer scruples between words. The present is the direct way.

"Liu Bei is different from Liu Zhang and other rats, after entering Xichuan. At the beginning, it was indeed a bit indulged in the image of pleasure, but it was able to introspect itself, but after Zhuge Liang's persuasion, he woke up and regained the previous bowing and personal province, and in recent days, although it took a lot to go north to attack our army, but under the personal leadership of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, there were not many people who complained. “

Hearing Mi Zhu say this, Wei Tao also felt a headache, in this life Liu Bei was able to enter Shu because Liu Zhang was weak and mediocre at that time, he lured Liu Bei into the room, and the high-ranking officials were kind to him, and finally let Liu Bei replace him.

In the previous life, although Liu Bei was not as convenient as this life, he was also recognized by the Sichuan Shu clan, and the strategist Zhang Song presented a topographic map of Western Shu, which made Liu Bei's entry into Shu extremely smooth.

In other words, Wei Tao is not so smooth, you must know that Wei Tao also thought about finding this map of Xishu from the local place, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo in the past was a fire, and he had burned the Luoyang book collection cleanly, and now although Luoyang has been repaired, it is not less prosperous than at the beginning, but after all, the foundation is insufficient.

As for that Zhang Song, although he was not allowed to be reused in the past because of his ugliness, and in history, Liu Bei was allowed to enter Shu because of this, but now he is a don't drive in Yizhou, which is quite trusted by Liu Bei, and many major matters are discussed with him, so he will not fight such an idea.

After all, Liu Bei is not Cao Cao or Sun Quan, and Liu Bei, who is from a low background, is probably the last thing he can do is to judge people by their appearance.

"Could it be that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are so good at making money, even if they don't say anything else, they also take all kinds of military use, and the food and logistics can also be guaranteed to be sufficient, which is a big expense, so no one has any complaints?"

Wei Tao personally led the troops to fight, how natural this kind of cost is, he was not trapped because of this in the past, it was because he would win every battle, and many times he won more with less, but even so, he was only after getting Jizhou that he gradually got rid of such logistical troubles.

Even so, Wei Tao did not dare to say that he was mobilizing troops, and every time he moved troops, he was measured, so as not to have insufficient logistics resources.

"Qi Yu Majesty, this is the law of Zhuge Liang. Now Xishu is strict with the law, quite Qin, everyone is fair and law-abiding, even if some people are unwilling to do so, but they can't complain, you must know that in the law, even Liu Bei is not exempt, his righteous brother Zhang Fei has been punished several times for alcoholism, everyone in Shu knows, so to this day, no one in Shu dares to disobey the order. ”

Mi Zhu naturally understood what Wei Tao meant, and said with a wry smile at the moment.

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I have also sent people to secretly depict the topographic map of Shu Road several times, the people of Sichuan and Shu are originally outsiders and even rejected, plus Liu Bei is so commanded, it is impossible to know its terrain from the Shu population, but it is exposed, the loss is not small and there is no result, I dare not violate it again!"

"Is it just a matter of attacking?"

Attacking Xishu is such an easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a place where the mountain roads are crisscrossed, if there is no familiar guide and no topographic catalog, it can be said that it is extremely difficult to take, and it is really strong and I don't know how many people will be able to die, so at the moment Wei Tao still couldn't help but repeat the question.

"Is it true that everyone has no grudges?"

"Your Majesty, although it is true that no one resents and rebels, it is not true to say that there is no complaint at all."

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Zhu opened his mouth and said.

"I heard reports that since Liu Bei was promoted to the king of Hanzhong, there have been many people of insight who have gone to take refuge in each other, and this is the last martyr of the Han Dynasty in four hundred years. Liu Bei is also wise, and he treats all the people who come to vote, so that Deshu is quite vibrant under their governance. However, at the same time, the authority of the original Shu sergeant clan was also divided a lot, and Liu Bei's move made them a little dissatisfied in private. But if that's all it takes, it's probably not enough to shake its foundations. ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, thinking about it carefully, but he felt it slightly.

If it is normal, Shu Dao is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if there is no cooperation from the internal clan, it is difficult to attack, even if there is a law, others need to plan for themselves.

Now that his subordinates have their own affairs, there are not many who can help him, and after a little thought, Wei Tao commanded.

"Let Ziming and Boyan invite."

Lu Meng and Lu Xun are the most idle talents, and the other Lu Meng is also okay, compared to his talents, he is more in martial arts, although he is both civil and military, but he may not be able to solve his own troubles, but secretly Lu Xun is a talent, Wei Tao once sent him to help Zhou Yu, and he was praised by Zhou Yu.

"The ministers knock to see His Majesty."

After Lu Meng and the others arrived, Wei Tao directly informed the two of them about everything one by one.

"Now I want to attack Liu Bei, calm the world to achieve my long-cherished wish, but the road to Shu is difficult, but also the road is longitudinal, if you attack it, I am afraid that the damage is not small, I want to get the road in Shu! However, although there are small grievances in Shuzhong now, it is difficult for them to work together, I don't know if you have a clever plan to use? ”

"This ...... Want to go to the wedge? ”

Lu Meng hesitated for a moment and asked.

"The road map in Shuzhong is an important weapon of the country, and it is not known to those who are not confidential, and I am afraid that the ordinary method of discord will not be able to be used!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, Lu Meng's words were true, but Wei Tao also had some thoughts in his heart when he heard what Mi Zhu said, so he said it at the moment.

"Yes, the interests of the Sichuan people have been damaged, but this damage is not taken away by others, so the Sichuan people will not have a big grudge, but this fact is a fact after all, if it is said that the Sichuan people do not feel it at all, it must be impossible, if it can make the Sichuan people feel the pain of the skin, then I am afraid it will be a disaster for the Xiao Wall."

"Your Majesty wants to put all those who are still loyal to the Liu family into Shu?"

Lu Xun quickly understood what Wei Tao meant, and directly pointed it out.

"Yes, there are still people who support the Liu family under my rule. Such people, without any excuse, I can't be punished without teaching, so why not send them to Shuzhong? ”

Wei Tao smiled slightly and said, such people are actually from the Shi clan, and the establishment of the new dynasty is damaged, and these damaged people are naturally unwilling.

"If it is a talent, when the shape is established today, he must have helped Liu Bei, but today's people are mostly people who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures, if they are allowed to enter Shu and compete with the Sichuan people. Because of the concerns of the enemy, if there is a legacy to help Liu Bei because of this, it is inappropriate, if it is inappropriate, then think about it again. ”

Hearing Wei Tao's words, everyone couldn't help but think carefully, at first glance, Wei Tao's strategy was wonderful, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be feasible, and he couldn't answer it for a while.

It wasn't until he thought for a moment that Lu Xun slowly spoke.

"It's not impossible for this method, but after a long time, how can you know if the talents in Shu are willing to help you? The time it takes is not small, and it may not be much more convenient than a forcible attack. ”

Hearing this, Wei Tao could only nod, it was indeed a long time, but in this way, Wei Tao could also see that he might have a plan, and immediately asked.

"Can you teach me?" (To be continued......)
