Shamoke has been missing from Chengdu for a year.

In the absence of war, no one would pay attention to the movements of the Wuxi Barbarian King.

Only Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, and Lu Xun realized that Liu Mang had begun to lay out in Nanzhong a year ahead of schedule.

"The four counties in the south and central China, Qike County: Yelang, the land of Qike is rainy, vulgar and good witches and ghosts are taboo, there are few animals, and there are no silkworms, so the county is the poorest."

"Yizhou County: The king of Yunnan has the wealth of salt, ponds, fields and fishing, and the wealth of gold and silver and livestock. Vulgar and arrogant. Those who live in government are rich and long-lasting. ”

"Yongchang County: Those who mourn the prison, the land is fertile and beautiful, and it is suitable for grains and sericulture."

"Yueshan County: Qiongdu Yi, its land is plain, and there are rice fields."

Liu Mang talked eloquently and said the advantages and disadvantages of the four counties, which opened the eyes of the ministers present.

Many people were ashamed.

The prince has already laid out in advance, but they are still indulging in the joy of the battle of Hanzhong.

"Among the four counties in Nanzhong, Shuqike County is the poorest and can be used as a military bulwark."

"Yizhou County not only has rich salt ponds and fields, but also rich in gold and silver."

"Yongchang County is also relatively fertile and can raise silkworms and produce cloth."

"Yueshan County is surrounded by mountains, with the second largest plain in Shu, the Anning River Plain! It can be said that three out of four are fertile or grain-producing lands. ”

Zhuge Liang helped to add, and under the story of the master and apprentice, the ministers' impression of the four counties in Nanzhong was greatly changed.

Liu Bei was a little confused, what he thought was a barren land, but in fact, three of the four were rich and grain-producing lands.

Even if it can become a military barrier or a military buffer zone, it can greatly ease the defensive pressure on Yizhou.

"Rebel, oh no, Mang'er! You've already investigated this matter? ”

"Dad, if we are all like you, we will be a big Han pill!"

Liu Mang rolled his eyes and said: "Such a rich land, if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, how can the rear of my Yizhou be stable?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Bo Yan, you might as well inform the king of everything you have investigated." ”

Lu Xun nodded and smiled humbly: "Now Zhu Bao is too guarded, this person has always been strong, and he does not listen to Liu Zhang's orders, so he can be said to be the representative of Emperor Tiangao." ”

"Yizhou is too upright, Yueshan is too guarded by Jiao Huang, and Yongchang is too guarded by Lu Kai, all of which are objects that our army can fight for."

"When you became the king of Hanzhong, except for Zhu Bao, the other three people all wrote to congratulate you."

Liu Bei only realized that the situation in the four counties of Nanzhong was so unoptimistic.

also made him feel that he was fortunate to take Yizhou into his hands early.

Otherwise, under the management of a weak lord like Liu Zhang, not to mention Cao Cao, even Zhu Bao of Nanzhong must have thoughts about Chengdu!

"King, this is not counting alien races like Nanban."

"If they collude with the local county guards, they will soon be able to raise troops to invade our borders."

"I hope that the king will stabilize the interior first, and then carry out the conquest!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then asked, "Mang'er, all military advisors!" Even if I want to use troops against Nanzhong, I have to be famous! ”

"Now that the four counties of Nanzhong have not rebelled, if I use troops, won't I be honest?"

Liu Mang said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, we just need to lure the snake out of the hole!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, "The king can release the news and bluntly say that our army will go north to attack Liangzhou!" ”

Fa Zheng held the floating dust in his hand, "If the four counties of Nanzhong really have the heart of disobedience, they will definitely not be watching from the wall!" ”

Lu Xun hugged his fists and said: "Lord, we only need to transfer troops to the border to wait for work!" ”

Liu Mang and the others had already said it so clearly, Zhang Fei clapped his hands and said quickly: "Okay! You can say that again! When we are famous, we will definitely be able to collect the four counties of Nanzhong! ”

Liu Bei nodded, and gave the order: "Use the road repair auxiliaries as bait to go to Hanzhong to confuse the four counties of Nanzhong!" ”

"Meng Qi! Hansheng! The two of you still need to be stationed in Hanzhong in case Cao Cao attacks! ”

"Liu Mang listens to the order, as the prince of this king, you and Taifu Zhuge Liang, and the military advisor Lu Boyan went to Nanzhong to quell the chaos!"

"The generals of the court, except for Meng Qi and Han Sheng, you can choose!"

Hearing that the war was going on again, Liu Bei's generals were gearing up one by one.

……

Mt. Gun.

Zhu Bao had already met with Lu Fan, the envoy of Eastern Wu.

This person set out from Nanhai County, first met Shixie, and then came to Qiqi County, where he met the county guard Zhu Bao.

"Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent, and Liu Bei is clever and robbed."

"Only the general has the mandate of heaven, and he is the lord of Yizhou!"

"My family Marquis Wu is willing to assist the general and seize Yizhou!"

Lu Fan bowed his hand and said: "These five-baht coins are the heart of my Wu Hou!" ”

Zhu Bao snorted coldly, his face showing disdain.

"Wu Hou, I really don't understand Yizhou!"

"Now in the whole territory of Yizhou, there is no longer a five-baht coin, but a straight hundred coins issued by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang!"

"Your five-baht money is no different from scrap copper and rotten iron!"

Zhu Bao waved his hand and directly accepted Sun Quan's heart.

"If I raise troops in Nanzhong, I will definitely attract soldiers from Yizhou and Jiaozhou!"

"You Jiangdong, you can take the opportunity to attack Jingzhou!"

"In this case, did I not make you a wedding dress for nothing?"

Zhu Bao's eyes rolled, obviously not stupid.

"The general's words are wrong!"

"In addition to Wu Hou, there is also King Wei to mediate!"

"It's true that Wu Hou wants to take Jingzhou, but Jiaozhou already has our chess pieces!"

"The king of Wei withdrew the troops of Liangzhou to lure Liu Bei; Shixie messed with the state, so that it could not take care of Jingzhou and Yizhou; Wu Hou took the opportunity to capture Jingzhou! ”

"Such a good opportunity, as long as the general raises troops, he will be sure to capture Liangzhou!"

Lu Fan's words made Zhu Bao's heart itch.

Although Qiqi County is the most barren, the people are fierce, and there is a heroic man admired by the Han Yi - Meng Huo!

"Don't hide it, Yue Xiansu is handsome and high-end, and the local heroes and heroes of Yizhou County are all persuaded by Shixie!"

"As long as Liu Bei dares to go north to Liangzhou, what awaits him is a fire in the backyard!"

"With such a good opportunity, how could the general miss it?"

Lu Fan looked directly at Zhu Bao, who was obviously moved.

"Good! I also have chess pieces, and I have long been deployed in Nanzhong! ”

"At that time, Liu Bei will go north, and we will fight together, and we will definitely be able to drive him out of Yizhou!"

"The matter of Jiaozhou will be handed over to Wu Hou to deal with!"

Lu Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and raised his glass to celebrate: "General rest assured, Shixie has a prestige in Jiaozhou, and he guarantees that Jiaozhou is in chaos, and he has no time to take care of Yizhou!" ”

The two sides drank all the wine in the cup, Zhu Bao wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it!" Meng Huo has an old relationship with me, this person is heroic and righteous, and he has the heart of a barbarian! ”

"If Wu Hou can reward some wealth, it will be convenient for me to win over!"

Lu Fan can see that the other party clearly wants money!

"Well said, well said! The general just has to do this, and the money will come from my family Wu Hou. ”

Zhu Bao couldn't stop laughing, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"Meng Huo, you will become my pawn!"
