Liu Bei saw that Zhuge Liang no longer objected to the transfer of Guan Yu to Wanluo, but his eyes were staring at the front without moving, with a serious expression.

Liu Bei knew that Zhuge Liang was weighing the strength of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses and Cao's army, thinking about possible problems, and avoiding mistakes in preparation.

Liu Bei turned around to the table and turned out a map of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang turned his head when he heard the voice, and immediately understood and stepped forward.

Liu Bei pointed to the map and said: "Kong Ming, I have thought about the strength of Jingzhou, just relying on the thin soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, I am ready to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce first, and these 20,000 soldiers and horses are completely handed over to Yun Chang to control."

Kong Ming, you see the three cities of Shangyong County, Nanxiang and Fangling are not in our hands, and when Yunchang goes north to contain the Cao army, we take the opportunity to send a large army to attack the two cities, and enter Xiangfan along the Han River as a backup to support Yunchang.

Jingzhou's important places are in Nanjun, Hanchang County, and Changsha County. Hanchang County was originally garrisoned by Ganxingba, but this time Xingba wanted to participate in the war, and Hanchang County sent another capable person to go.

I am going to order Fei Guan to be the Taishou, and lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Baqiu with the county soldiers. Changsha County sent Yang Hong, who had made meritorious contributions to the suppression of the rebellion, to lead troops and horses to garrison, and the Nanjun Tai Code was succeeded by Dong He, the general in charge of the army, who was responsible for the deployment of grain, grass, equipment, and soldiers together with Pan Jun.

Pang Tong sat in Fancheng to supervise the battle, Ma Liang was in the middle of the contact, and the second brother, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning led the Northern Expedition! Kong Ming, what do you think? ”

Zhuge Liang looked at the map and said: "The king is thoughtful, Liang just made a suggestion just in case, gather cavalry and ships in Chenggutun, once Yun Chang needs support, the cavalry will attack with all their might."

First by boat, you can reach the front line after three days on horseback. But don't show this army, just use it as a surprise army! ”

Liu Bei agreed: "Okay, the purchased Qiang war horse will arrive soon, just right to practice and wait." By the way, how much horse material is there in Chenggu? ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The king can rest assured, Liang learned that the king has purchased a large number of war horses, and has collected the rice stalks in the hands of the people and stored forage. It's a bit difficult to feed a horse fat and strong, but it's not hard to feed it! ”

Liu Bei touched his beard and said: "Wudu, Yinping, and Wenshan counties all have grasslands, which can be cut and prepared for materials, and transported here."

Horses have tempers, and they are willing to contribute only when they eat well. Let's see if you can squeeze out some old millet and feed it with forage!

By the way, Kong Ming, Nanzhong has always been semi-independent, and our tax collection has always been as much as we can levy, this is not good, the strength of the fight is not as good as Cao Pi, we have to mobilize all the resources that can be used!

At present, there is a shortage of food, isn't there a Meng Shu who did not surrender, so he increased the troops of Deng Fang, went to Meng Shu, uprooted the barbarians to whom Meng Shu belonged, and used their accumulation for several generations to enrich the treasury. ”

Zhuge Liang hesitated: "Your Majesty, is it too radical for the barbarians to blindly use the strong, and the south is to Fu Yiyue." If you want long-term peace and stability, it is better to attack the heart. Establish a prestige and leader for the barbarians, and we control the leader and then the entire southern barbarians.

Meng won this person, Liang heard that he is the most prestigious local leader among the Nanzhongyi people and the Han people, why not attack his heart for my use! ”

Liu Bei said: "Kong Ming, it is true that Nanfu Yiyue should first focus on Fu. You see the wolf road of the leader of the Yue Net, and sincerely wait for him to surrender immediately, and we are going to appease this kind of leader.

Jianning Xi, Yongchang Lu Kai, Jiao Huang and other local clan leaders all obeyed orders. Meng Shu still retracted the old department of Gaoding, how to deter Nanzhong in the future if he didn't kill him.

Kong Ming, Yizhou's household registration clearly marks that Yongchang County is the largest county second only to Nanyang County, with a population of at least one million or more, and has never been affected by war.

Meng Huo rebelled against Gao Ding, several years of stubbornness, Gao Ding was defeated and still refused to surrender, is it that there is only one Meng Huo in Nanzhong is the leader, it is easy to find a leader for our use, and it is easy to find a leader for our use, and it is just to kill the chickens and monkeys to make an example of Meng Huo, and show other barbarian leaders.

Taking the opportunity to rebel, in the name of rebellion, he went deep into Nanzhong, inserted the army into Jianning and Yongchang Counties, counted household registration, and collected taxes to enrich the warehouse. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why not connive at Meng Huo?" ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Let Meng Huo pull the barbarian leaders everywhere, and the local heroes will be strong, and induce them to join the rebels, and I can completely go deep and not annihilate Meng Huo every time, forcing him to keep retreating, so that someone can lead the way deep into Nanzhong County, and weaken the local forces along the way!" ”

Liu Bei thought for a while and said, "You mean to keep defeating Meng Huo but not destroying him, forcing him to Jianning and Yongchang County!" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Exactly, if you want to conquer local wealthy clans, you must have a large army to deter. Since the king wanted the household registration of Yongchang County, only the coercion of the army could find out the real household registration.

However, the king, Yongchang is remote, there are many barbarians, and the environment is harsh, so it is difficult to garrison the army for a long time! ”

Liu Bei waved his robe sleeves and said arrogantly: "Luoyang, the capital of Han, is farther away from Yongchang than Chengdu, and we can check the household registration, we are close enough, the predecessors can do it, and I Liu Bei must also do it."

I will immediately transfer Li Hui, Xi and Wudang Feijun back, Kong Ming, according to your ideas, you sort out the strategy of using Meng Shu to pacify Nanzhong, and when the time is ripe, start to go south! ”

Zhuge Liang was shocked by Liu Bei's words, and hugged his fists in agreement. Putting down his arm, Zhuge Liang said softly: "Your Majesty, just now I said that Dong He went to serve as the Taishou of Nanjun, that Mi Fang!" ”

Liu Bei said: "By the way, Mi Fang asked him to come back to Yizhou to govern and work, his brother Mi Zhu has been ill for several months, and how many doctors have been found for diagnosis and treatment have not been good."

Alas, Sun Qian and Jian Yong went one after another, and Mi Zhu saw that he was sick like this, and the old ministers who followed me in the same hardship left me one after another, and I didn't feel good in my heart. Let Mi Fang come back to accompany his brother! ”

Zhuge Liang was about to comfort Liu Bei, Liu Bei stared at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, I've heard that you only rest every day, and you start to deal with affairs before midnight, and occasionally stay up all night!"

Tell me about so many officials under you, why is this king raising them, don't do everything yourself all day long.

I said before that all the civil and military generals should pay attention to their bodies, I see you go to diagnose the pulse, eighty percent of the problem, you hurry up to recuperate! ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "The king bothered, Liang is still young, and his health is not a big problem. Liang knows a lot of medical science, and the good wife in the family is also familiar. Rest assured! ”

Liu Bei pouted and said: "Kong Ming, I know you must say so, I don't persuade you, when the time comes, directly let Lang Zhong give you a pulse and see how your body is, you don't have to be hard-mouthed, you say you're a person!"

Kong Ming, remember to pay attention to your body, seeing that the general trend of the world will not be able to eliminate the Cao thief overnight! Now it's about who can survive whom. survived Cao Cao, I immediately felt that Cao Pi was inferior to his father, otherwise Longyou would never give up halfway! ”

After a pause, Liu Bei walked up to Zhuge Liang and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said: "Kong Ming, in my opinion, among all the junjies, you Kong Ming is a capable person who is both Xiao He and Zhang Liang in the early Han Dynasty, if I am no longer in the future, the burden of thousands of catties will immediately press on you, and then you can take on the rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty for me!" ”

Zhuge Liang was moved: "Your Majesty, you dare not be ashamed, only by doing your best to assist the king, it is your life's wish!" ”

Liu Bei said: "I know your heart, if there is no water, the fish will be sleepy, and if there is no fish in the water, you and I will be like fish in water!" As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In Langzhong, Brazil County, Huang Yuan was escorted to Liu Bei, and when Huang Yuan saw Liu Bei, he trembled with fright and fell to the ground to plead guilty.

Liu Bei waved away everyone and said to Huang Yuan: "Raise your head Huang Yuan, you are a Taishou, governing one side, you who were personally selected and appointed by this king, you must have grace, what are you panicking about, this king hasn't said that he wants to kill you?" ”

Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment and glanced at Liu Bei with his eyes. Liu Bei stepped forward to help Huang Yuan up, untied the torture instrument, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down, what do you say, listen to this king!" ”

Huang Yuan hugged his fists and said: "Wang, I don't want to rebel against Wang, but I am forced to be helpless!" ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It's hard to speak, this king will say it for you first." You were entrusted by Deng Fang, and Chen Bing put pressure on the wolf road with Niu Dao, and was accused of using swords and soldiers.

Later, you disregarded the king's order to transport supplies to Hanzhong first, and assigned people to open the Jingniu Road, and you were accused of disobeying the king's order, right? ”

Huang Yuan got up and knelt down and said: "The king is like a god, and the criminal minister Chen Bingjing Niu Dao mainly considered that if the wolf road was forced to go north to attack Hanjia County, he sent the county soldiers, and the criminal minister's soldiers and horses did not cross the border, Zhang Song actually accused the criminal minister of using troops without authorization and plotting against him.

The early opening of the Jingniu Road is to send enough people to transport the county's reserve materials, and recruit a group of people to build the road!

Jingniu Road has been blocked for a hundred years, if it can be opened as soon as possible, then Hanjia County will have a road to trade with Nanzhong, which is very beneficial to the people of Hanjia County.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Song was not close to people, and attacked the criminal minister with these two things, the criminal minister was afraid, and he was at odds with Zhang Song quickly, for fear that he would be questioned and had nowhere to redress his grievances, so he wanted to lead troops to Hanzhong to ask the king to listen to the statement of the criminal minister! ”

Liu Bei shouted: "Get up, don't kneel!" You have a number of things, and the two things that Zhang Song asked about are not big deals, why should you be afraid!

But I did two other wrong things, the first is to levy the people to build roads, how did you levy them, and force them to be requisitioned! The road is repaired, and you, the Hanjia Taishou, can also make a fortune along this road, do you think this king can't see through it?

Second, raise an army to rebel, no matter what reason you have, you have created a rebellion against your own king. Why does Zhang Song have trouble with you, I heard that Kong Ming is not very good with you.

Yang Hong said that you have a fierce temperament, and if you don't talk about kindness, you can be regarded as talking about the point. Zhang Song treated him politely at the beginning, you see that his official position is above you, and he is not angry and looks for an opportunity to scold him for his shortcomings.

This king sees that you are quite talented, and he has been with this king for a long time, and he is afraid that you will be transferred out of conflict with Zhang Song. Hoping that you can converge and change, but you are still like this!

Think about it with your brain, does Zhang Song dare to deal with a county Taishou without the permission of this king? That Taishou was not appointed by this king? You still dare to say that Zhang Song forced you to oppose you, and Zhang Song sent someone to ask you why it was not good to use troops and do things! Does he dare to overstep his authority and take you? ”

Huang Yuan sweated like rain, kowtowing to the ground and asking for guilt. Liu Bei said: "This king can't protect you!" ”

Huang Yuan kowtowed and wept: "The criminal minister is willing to die, I hope the king will not involve the parents, wives and children of the criminal minister!" ”

Liu Bei snorted: "If you thought of them in the first place, why did you do this? ”

Liu Bei shouted outside the door: "Third brother! Zhang Fei pushed the door and entered.
