is busy planning for the future, naturally not only Lao Liu's side.

The counties in the south and central are not all poor places with miasma in the general impression.

Among the four counties under Lao Liu's control, Yizhou County, which later became Jianning County, was the most among them, with both salt ponds and fishery, as well as gold and silver and animal husbandry.

The Yong family has been sealed here since Yongya, and I have to say that Gaozu Liu Bang repaid his grievances with virtue, and he was really worthy of his family.

The Yongjia mansion covers a wide area, which is much larger than Lao Liu's Hanzhong Palace.

The luxury of his house and the luxury of his furnishings are not comparable to Lao Liu, who only bought some brocade clothes and furs.

Yonghong grew up in this environment since he was a child, and he is no longer just arrogant, and the Taishou sent by the central government to Yizhou County has always been just a fart in front of the Yong family.

He Yongjia didn't nod, and the so-called Taishou decree didn't want to implement it.

Yonghong liked Liu Zhang very much, because Liu Zhang was kind and weak, and this kindness was highly respected by the powerful and ambitious scholars.

Because of Liu Zhang's benevolence and loose laws, it is more for these nobles, and the most typical example is that he connived at the beginning of the Dongzhou soldiers.

But under this kind of "benevolence", how many people have been ravaged and oppressed, that is not a question that the benevolent Liu Zhang will consider.

During the period of Liu Zhang, the Yong family was very nourishing, and Liu Zhang basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Nanzhong at that time.

However, when Liu Bei became the ruler of Yizhou, he seemed to want to unilaterally change the status quo.

First of all, the so-called "Governor of the Prefecture" was established, and the Taishou Deng Fang of Zhuti County was appointed to take this post at the same time, although the Governor's Office was only arranged in the northernmost Zhuti County, and had no actual binding force on the other four counties in the south and central.

But to surrender, to descend, the meaning of Liu Bei's move is already obvious.

Shixie and Buqi under the command of Sun Quan in Jiaozhou have long begun to keep in touch with the Yong family.

They sent people to warn Yonghong that Liu Bei's ambitions were lofty, and he was by no means comparable to the previous lord of Yizhou, so he should be on guard early.

I have to say that although Jiangdong Wu Lao Er Gang pulled his hips head-on, he secretly played the conspiracy methods of infiltration and backstabbing, fanning the yin wind and lighting the ghost fire, and he was indeed a master of this way.

What kind of lord there is, what kind of courtiers are gathered.

At that time, Yonghong still didn't believe it, because no one had ever beaten Nanzhong's idea before.

Thinking that Wang Mang mobilized 300,000 soldiers and civilians in Bashu, and the war had not been pacified for 3 years, he would fall into the quagmire of war if he dared to move Nanzhong, and he would often rebel.

But out of admiration and trust in Shi Xie, especially Bu Qi's ability, Yonghong still followed his words and bought Liu Bei's close attendants with a lot of money.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, as they said, after Liu Beibei settled in Hanzhong, he really hit the idea on the head of Nanzhong!

Do you want his Yong family to pay taxes honestly, and even accept central control and obey the management of the officials stationed there?

There are no doors!

This is too upright, and he often disobeys the will of his Yong family, and he opens and closes his mouth to say how the lord is, Yonghong has long wanted to move him.

This time it was just right, and it was simply reversed.

The only fly in the ointment is that Liu Bei's close attendant has already escaped, otherwise he can continue to find out his specific arrangements for Nanzhong.

But that's just a minor issue.

A glamorous maid beside Yonghong brought the wine cup to his mouth, and he took a sip and said to the person opposite: "Brother Meng, what do you think about the army?" ”

On the opposite side, a bearded man who was nearly eight feet tall and had broad shoulders and a broad back was also drinking and eating meat under the service of beautiful women, it was Meng Huo.

The Meng family is the only family in Yizhou County, firstly, the Meng family is the same among the Yi people, and secondly, the Meng family has always looked forward to the Yongjia horse, and the Yongjia has reciprocated the peach, and the two families are basically a community of interests.

The leader of this generation, Meng Huo, is not as rude as he looks, and his personal relationship with Yonghong is not bad.

At this time, he wiped his mouth and smiled at Yonghong: "Brother really thinks that the people of Jiangdong are reliable? Haven't you heard that he was defeated in Jingzhou, lost his troops and lost his generals, and even Sun Quan almost lost his life, and now he has become a lame general. ”

Yonghong disagreed: "There are always victories and defeats in the use of soldiers, Jiangdong is rich, and this loss will not hurt the muscles and bones." After the army was raised, we returned to Soochow, and Shixie promised to give me any support at that time......"

"Heh, I'm afraid that when the time comes, if there is a real fight, Jiangdong will only give 'any support other than actual help'." Meng Shu looked very disdainful and looked very disdainful of Jiangdong.

Hearing this, Yonghong felt that the words were wrong, and couldn't help frowning: "What, even Brother Meng is afraid that Liu Bei can't succeed?" ”

Meng Huo laughed and pushed the maid away: "Brother, who is Meng Huo?" is the overlord in the world, if he dares to enter this territory, he will dare to lead the troops to fight!

"I am persuading my brother not to pin his hopes on Jiangdong, don't say that it seems that such insidious rats will not send troops to help us, even if they send troops, what help? Brother, it is better to step up the training of troops, and we will win the battle by ourselves, which is the right way. ”

Yonghong frowned at this time, and hurriedly asked: "In this way, Brother Meng agreed to the matter of raising troops?" ”

"Yizhou County, we have always said the same, brother is the Han people, I lead Yiyue, how can I let Liu Bei say and take it?"

Meng Yu said that he drank all the wine in the cup, slapped it on the case with a snap, and the stone cup shattered in response: "So-and-so will go and summon all the ministries to prepare to gather people to cooperate with Brother Yong." This time I will definitely teach Liu Bei a lesson! ”

"Good!" Yonghong slapped his thigh, raised his glass and said: "What Brother Meng said is very true, if Liu Bei dares to send troops to come, he will definitely have no return!" Please! ”

The maid hurriedly got a new cup for Meng, and he took it and raised it: "Please!" ”

The two drank to each other, looked at each other and laughed, not in the slightest worried about the coming war.

Originally, Liu Bei wanted to defend Sun Wu in the east and Cao Wei in the north, but now after a series of battles, is there still food? How many more soldiers?

In addition, his army was not familiar with the environment of this place, and when the army was raised, it was after everything recovered, and the poisonous insects and snakes and fierce beasts in the forest alone were enough for them.

If this can't be won by fighting, don't be the master of the Yong family, and Meng Shu shouldn't be the barbarian king, just go to Chengdu together to lead Liu Bei's horse and kick......

……

They have confidence, Liu Chan's confidence is even more, if nothing else, they rushed to the name of the person in front of them - Zhuge Kongming.

As long as Lao Liu is persuaded at that time and let him agree to let Uncle Zhuge preside over the battle of Nanzhong, it will be foolproof.

At this time, Uncle Zhuge basically did not personally lead the troops, he was all engaged in logistics, and Lao Liu was afraid that he did not understand his amazing military talent thoroughly enough.

At that time, Fa Zheng should also be fine, just free up his hands to Pingnan.

In history, Prime Minister Zhuge began to level Nanzhong in March 225, and crossed Lu in May to go deep into the barren, and stayed until the autumn war was over.

At that time, the prime minister's hands were a hellish mess, Yiling was defeated, the elite was burned out, there were few fierce generals left, the warehouse was empty, Dongwu was shouting to the west every day, and Cao Wei sent people to persuade him to surrender every day......

The prime minister only postponed the recovery of national strength for a year, and after sending Deng Zhi to appease Wu Laoer, he resolutely sent troops and subdued Nanzhong with a bad hand.

And what about now?

"What the prince said just now is a very good strategy in Nanzhong, which coincides with Liang." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

After the meeting, Liu Chan and Zhuge Kongming sat down and talked freely after a long absence.

Liu Chan smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart: "That must coincide, I just said what you would have done again......

He just wanted to be modest, but he heard Zhuge Liang smile again: "There is another person who also thinks so, the prince is not in Chengdu, and Liang often discusses military affairs with him in his free time recently." I think this person is quite talented, why don't you invite him to discuss it? ”

"Oh? That's naturally great, but I don't know who can get Uncle Zhuge to be so evaluated? Liu Chan was very interested when he heard this, he was too short of talents.

Zhuge Liang's feather fan pointed to the east: "Does the prince know the five constants of the Ma family in Jingzhou?" ”

Liu Chan's face froze when he heard this, and he had thought of someone...... No way?

"'Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best', I naturally know, Uncle Zhuge is talking about Ma Liang and Ma Jichang?"

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and smiled: "Ji Changzhi's talent goes without saying, but his younger brother is also very talented, and he often discusses military affairs with Liang until late at night. This person is the Chengdu County Order, and his name is Ma Tan Ma Youchang. ”

Liu Chan: "......"
