When Xu Zhen returned, half of Qianghu's territory had been lost, and a request for peace was handed over to be attached to Xu Zhen's command.

This situation is the same as that of Yuvro back then, they know that they will not survive if they continue to fight, and they will not be able to expand outward, so they can only come to ask to become annexed, in order to grow stronger and then rebel in the future.

It is well known that the capricious people of the foreigners will have different hearts.

It's not just the Han family for foreigners.

Those alien races are the same for the Han family, they know that no matter how good the lord is, they will not always trust the foreign race, but there is no way at the moment, Xu Zhen is strong and strong, it is really not the time to fight to the death with him, so they can only surrender first, and then find an opportunity in the future.

Xu Zhen readily agreed, let these aliens belong to his command, and pay tribute to the Han every year, which he emphasized several times, is to pay tribute to the Han.

This matter was spread in Xiliang, many people sighed for it, and a large number of people passed it as a good story, but Xiliang still did not move troops and horses to the east at this time.

Jia Xu spoke twice, and the last time Xu Zhen said, "The affection of the lord and the minister has not disappeared, so I can only use troops in the west and turn my back to the east." ”

He handed over his back to Cao Cao in the east, which means that he still needs a reason to let Xu Zhen send troops, but there is no such opportunity.

Because Cao Cao will also control it very much.

In the past few months, after several temptations, the two sides have known each other's bottom line, and neither of them has made up their minds to tear this layer of window paper.

So the situation is frozen, and we can only keep fighting in secret.

Do not speak good words, nor speak ill of each other.

During this period of time, the only good thing is that the Cao clan relatives never came to say a word again, and even the intercepted letters written by Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others to visit friends were all called Xu Zhenzun.

These titles made Xu Zhen understand that the situation was still very stable, and Xu Du's side had been as calm as possible to ensure that he would never take the initiative to provoke a big war.

As a result, the whole Han entered calm again.

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who sent an envoy to Xichuan, came back, bringing a lot of good news, with his eloquence and quick wit, and Zilong personally escorted into Sichuan and Shu, Liu Zhang saw the six hundred armor cavalry guards, and he had no intention of assassinating.

Because this understood that as long as they died in Sichuan and Shu, then Xu Zhen would immediately raise troops to attack, so Liu Zhang also sent more than 2,000 elites himself, and asked Zhang Ren to personally do a good job of guarding, for fear that Zhuge Liang would be assassinated by Zhang Lu's secret agent dead soldiers.

lest they be killed.

Zhuge Liang, who came back, immediately came to see Xu Zhen, and along the way, he already knew about Cao Cao's entry into the duke, and obtained the position of the duke of Wei and placed it in Yecheng.

This is the first step in the ascendancy, but the duke is obviously not satisfied, the next step is to call the king of Wei, which is the most critical step to break the old system, depending on how many people are willing to follow at that time, and how much he is willing to give up.

can go to the same path as Wang Mang.

And Xu Zhen is lucky, if someone walks in front, he can walk more steadily.

"I saw Zhang Song, his appearance is not good, but his mouth is like a river, and he is ruthless when he scolds people, but this person's vision is too shallow, if you pay more attention to him, he will be willing to entrust him with sincerity," Zhuge Liang said leisurely, obviously having pinpointed Zhang Song's pulse.

Then he naturally got the drawings, and it was no problem to enter Xichuan.

Not everyone can draw drawings, and among the tens of millions of people in the late Han Dynasty, less than a million have read books, and most of these people are only literate.

Not counting the kind of people who can take care of their own articles, the kind that has the talent to learn, not to mention the advanced abilities of drawing, and the map that can mark the whole picture of Xichuan, how can Zhang Song say that he is not a talent?

Whether he traveled all over the river by himself or got other people's drawings by chance, it showed that this person was capable, but he could only do it for other reasons, and he wanted to make meritorious contributions elsewhere.

Because of Liu Zhang, he is really incompetent.

Compared with Liu Biao and Liu Yu, he is like a starlight that is more light than the sun and the moon, not to mention Emperor Zhaolie, who can go from a white body to an emperor.

Sichuan and Shu under his governance, Zhang Lu is still invincible, but also rely on the danger to defend, empty soldiers and horses do not know the use, get Chengdu residence, just like holding the treasure jade in his hand and dare not fight with others, for fear of the jade breaking, there is no momentum, and it will definitely be destroyed in the future.

Since Yizhou will be broken sooner or later, it is better to find a master and give it, and you can also make great contributions, and the surname Liu will not be in the world for a long time.

The Liu family is no longer the mandate of heaven, so why bother to be foolish and loyal.

In the faction that advocates welcoming foreign ministers, Fa Zheng and Zhang Lu are considered to be in harmony, so the two will discuss most of them in private, and after Zhuge Liang went, he accurately looked for the two and quickly made it clear, and suddenly got the sincerity of the two of them.

And, with great hospitality.

That's why you can return with a full load.

"In Kong Ming's view, Yizhou must be determined to win, if the master wants, he can ask for it immediately, if he doesn't need to pay attention to benevolence and righteousness, he can attack immediately, after all, Yizhou's soldiers and horses are really weak and indescribable."

"The external record, there is no merit to stand, Zhang Lu has always been chased and beaten, and we beat Zhang Lu so that he does not dare to go out of Hanzhong, and we have to cut the land to seek peace, the gap is self-evident."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile, his expression was relaxed, but Xu Zhen didn't smile, his face was still serious, and he frowned: "In this way, within a few months, we will get Sichuan and Shu, and then enter Chengdu or Hanzhong as a base, and there are sword pavilions, mountains, and barrier forests outside that can be used to guard." ”

"You can first finalize with Liu Zhang, saying that you can send troops to attack Zhang Lu, so you can lead people into Sichuan and prepare for the future occupation of Hanzhong, and after you win Hanzhong, use strategies to cut off Liu Zhang's troops and let him choose for himself."

"Not bad!"

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, he remembered that his master was serious when discussing major matters, and he never smiled casually, so he also calmed down and no longer felt relaxed.

"If this is the case, Liu Zhang must agree in desperation."

"If you don't agree, you can also suppress it slightly, so that he can understand the master's mind, if he refuses, he will join Zhang Lu to fight Chengdu, I don't think Zhang Lu will refuse."

"Well, let's get ready......"

It's another year of autumn harvest, and Xu Zhen has the blessing of characteristics, even if it is not a bumper harvest this year, he has gained more than 30% of the income.

The grain and grass are barely enough to fight a battle, since the prime minister's side did not plan to fight it, then just take this opportunity to go and occupy Sichuan and Shu first, and stop Uncle Liu Huang's thoughts.

"Whoa."

……

Xu Du.

Prime Minister's Office.

Cao Cao was watching the gazetteer of Youzhou, and Shangshutai sent him a recital, preparing to move the administrative office to Yecheng and leave the Han Emperor in Xudu.

And to divide two lists, many people's official status can be included in his Wei nationality, and after coming to this point, the people who followed him at the beginning of the Han family and Bai Ding can get a good result.

Those who have official positions in Han will also vacate a lot of positions because of this.

If Cao Cao's buttocks don't move, many positions can't be vacant, then the meritorious person will already be unsealable, which will naturally affect the minds of others.

Now is no longer the time to rely on charm and long talks, you can tightly recruit talents, even if you stomp four or five times, you can't get back the heart of people to take the career.

Clear-eyed people who don't know the current situation in the world, the Sun-Liu alliance is not a brother, and sooner or later it will be split, they fight desperately, but they will only repel the momentum of Cao's southern expedition.

However, Xiahoudun, who was transferred to the south, stabilized the army's morale a little, and immediately stopped Sun Liu's hundreds of thousands of pursuing soldiers, and it was almost impossible to hit Xu Dulai.

It can only be said that there is nothing to worry about now becoming a country of its own, and the only thing worth worrying about is Xu Zhen.

Because Cao Cao was also jealous of him, I don't know when this person went crazy and didn't want that eternal fame, he played hooligan, and there was no way.

But at present, according to Cao Cao's understanding of Xu Zhen, he will not take this path.

At this time, Xun You came back from outside, walked in front of Cao Cao, arched his hand to the military report, and said, "Prime Minister, the news is back." ”

After Xun Yu took Yecheng early, Xun You became the most important advisor to Cao Cao, and contacted the officials of the Han family and the scholar clan who were elected because of the Xun clan back then.

At the same time, he can give him advice, but because of the difference in identity, the two will not be too close, and the relationship is kept within a just right scale, which makes Cao Cao feel very comfortable.

Because Xun Yu is too close, how big the expectations were back then, and now after Cao Cao enters the Duke of Wei, Xun Yu's disappointment is great.

Now he even wants to abandon his official position and go back to farming for retirement.

Of course, the disappointment is also mutual, and Cao Cao here is also disappointed because he didn't get Xun Yu's support, so the two began to be awkward.

Many schemes, Cao Cao would rather ask Xun Yu than Xun Yu, who is an uncle.

"Well, what did Berwen say?"

"Did he agree?"

Xun You's face was stunned, he was silent for a moment, and said: "He didn't say anything, and sent troops to Daoqianghu, fought hundreds of miles, and reduced tens of thousands of Qianghu people as vassals." ”

“……”

Cao Cao pursed his lips and bowed his head, this answer, he never dreamed of.

In the end, he actually smiled bitterly, raised his head and glanced at Xun You, "Why did he send troops like this?" ”

"I should be unwilling, in the next opinion, the rider should feel that it is not the right time."

"When is the time?"

Cao Cao's hair is half white, he is more than half a hundred years old, and he has a talented son like Cao Ang under his knees, and he will definitely have the posture of a king in the future, if he doesn't do something for him now, it will be difficult for him to convince the public in the future.

While it can still be suppressed, the infamy must also be carried on the body.

After all, it is necessary to change this for the Cao family, even if it is to compile another "destiny returned", then we have to find a way to change it.

"In the next, just guess the idea of riding."

"He didn't say against it, that is, he agreed, and added Xu Zhen's name," Cao Cao said plainly.

It was almost rude to add Xu Zhen's name to the invitation table written by the Son of Heaven, so that Cao Cao's backing was several times thicker.

Because of Xu Zhen's words, you can count the people in Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Liangzhou.

As for the chaos in the future, then let's talk about it again, pull him up first, those loyal people above the courtiers will never suspect Xu Zhen, then his attack on Qianghu will be even more bloody.

As if to celebrate.

Give him another reward.

"Give Xu Bowen another 2,000 households, and move the title to Wuwei."

In Xu Zhen's first three invitations, two times were the one who initiated it, and the third time it was not initiated, but it was also signed, which is not too much.

No one will think that it is the prime minister's coercion, and neither will the people of the world.

Therefore, Cao Cao naturally began to relocate, from Xudu to Yecheng, and at the same time, he moved his hinterland to a safer place.

Such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Yu Ban, Xu Huang and others, all entered the Wei nationality, and it seems that the fiefdom of the Duke of Wei is not large, but it can only be placed in hundreds of officials.

But in this land of Wei County, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops were hoarded.

And the Han Dynasty did not have many soldiers and horses.

In the years that followed, people would only remember Cao Gong, not the Son of Heaven.

Especially people from Jizhou.

Therefore the people also have to move.

Move, all move!!

This year, Cao Cao completed the transformation of his identity, and Sun Liu stood firm.

So the rivalry came back between the two of them.

Liu Bei didn't contribute much at the beginning, but he played a great role in the pursuit, but in the end he still failed to kill Cao Cao, which means that the enemy will still exist in the future.

It's hard to guarantee that he can invite another one to go south, then there will be another Chibi fire, but this fire is already in the sky, where can I smell it a second time in the world?!

Therefore, Sun Liu didn't dare to go too north, not only because of Cao Cao's profound heritage, but also because of Xiliang's unstained chariot general.

If he and Cao Cao converge, it would actually be difficult to parry.

Even if he is not good at the navy, the land battle may be enough to break through a solid fortress.

If you don't go north, it means that you can't share much.

And this fruit was occupied by the ruthless Liu Bei.

No, in Zhou Gongjin's heart, it is actually all occupied.

Because they went north to Hefei and were repulsed again, and when they went west to Jingzhou, they found that even the nearest Nanjun had been garrisoned by Chen Zhi and Zhang Fei.

What does that get?

A few ferries, a few inns, how many people have been sacrificed in our Jiangdong, and we fought a battle with the same enemy, and it is enough to win more with less.

As a result, there is really only honor left?!

Who can bear this?!

So Lu Su could only carry the expectations of Jiangdong's civil and military forces again, crossed the river, and saluted Liu Bei first and then soldiers.

"Uncle Huang, what we said at the beginning was not so, my Jiangdong soldiers used their lives, but they were not used to make merits with you!"

"If you have to occupy it like this, wouldn't it make Jiangdong's anger turn to the Ming Gong!? Under this battle, hasn't Ming Gong seen my Jiang Dongfeng bones?! ”

"Please say a word today! If you want to tear up this covenant, it is better to take it by force than to pull and delay! ”

Lu Su Xingshi came to ask for guilt, and when he flicked his sleeves, he was not afraid of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's eyes as if they wanted to kill.

Liu Bei was silent at this time, and there was no smile on his face, the scene was very tragic for a while, he didn't expect Jiangdong's attitude to change so quickly.

It turned out that there was no relaxation at all, or maybe this Lu Su was really too communicative, so he first tried it with this attitude, and then eased it down.

At least be reasonable.

"Where do I dare," Liu Bei endured it, his mind immediately calmed down, and he was already smiling when he looked up at Lu Su, "Zi Jing said this, but I am to blame for it, I was worried that the Cao clan would occupy too much of this Jingzhou, so I took the lead in capturing the city, and when the king came, I would discuss it again!" ”

"Oh?!"

Lu Su took a deep breath, but his face was still full of disbelief, "How to discuss the law?" ”
