After getting from Zhang Wen's mouth that Cao Pi was really likely to send troops to attack Wu, Lao Liu's side was like a chicken.

The more the patriarch who has been following Liu Bei for a long time, the more difficult it is to suppress the boiling blood in his body at this time, and he really can't calm down if he doesn't do something.

How many years.

Kuang Fu Han room, still in the old capital, since Dong Zhuo and other powerful ministers made a rebellion, the Son of Heaven was used as a puppet ornament, how many years has this slogan been shouted?

They followed Lao Liu Nan to fight in the north, and once panicked like a lost dog, in the worst years of those years, there was not even a piece of land to stand on, and when the army was short of food, they even tearfully devoured the body of the first dead robe......

Now, for the first time, they finally feel that their dreams are within their reach!

Of course, the most exciting of them is Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao, and Zhuge Liang.

Seeing today, no one knows the difficulties and obstacles better than them, and it is really a miracle to win a chance.

Fighting strong with the weak, there is no chance of a major defeat.

The local families in Yizhou who can be on the stage have gradually increased their enthusiasm for participating in or supporting the Northern Expedition through the bundling of interests and the improvement of their political status.

Unable to see hope and damaging interests, most of these families who want to be in a corner of peace are naturally not interested.

But when there is really hope that a duck can be swallowed in one bite, how can they be willing to be left behind?

If you are not active now, when you win the distribution of benefits, you will be pressed to the ground by the people of Jingzhou and Dongzhou.

Of course...... It is also indispensable to destroy the Yong family in the middle of the hand, which brought them a shock.

This kind of atmosphere of unity and unity even infected Zhang Wen, who came from the mission, which made this young man unconsciously excited, but at the same time, it was inevitable that he would be a little gloomy and regretful.

"Jiangdong people are outstanding and rich in products, if the scholars can be so united as one, why can't they go further?"

Looking at the bustling traffic in Chengdu and the energetic faces of pedestrians, Zhang Wen couldn't help but sigh secretly.

But he also knew that it was absolutely impossible.

Between the four major families and the Sun family, as well as the Huaisi Group, there was no such scene in the past, and it is impossible to have such a scene in the future......

Zhang Wen was warmly received by Zhuge Liang again during his time in Chengdu, if he said that last time he was completely out of the future development of Jiangdong and the judgment made by the pattern of the Three Kingdoms.

So this time...... He's really mixed in with his personal feelings, but he hasn't noticed it yet.

In addition, Lao Liu and others did not deliberately hide from Zhang Wen that they were preparing to be crowned emperor, and since they had decided to become emperor, this was no longer something that needed to be hidden.

In this regard, Zhang Wen was surprised and expressed his support and sincere wishes, and at the same time highly praised Lao Liu's "righteous act" of carrying the banner of Xinghan.

Of course, there are some things that still have to be kept highly secret.

For example, the specific time and place of the ceremony, and the trajectory of Lao Liu and Liu Chan's itinerary on the same day...... And so on, these matters concerning the safety of the monarch are absolutely confidential.

Of course, as a diplomatic envoy, Zhang Wen would not be uncommon sense to inquire about this.

Liu Chan and Lao Liu naturally agreed to the matter of joining Wu to resist Cao, but they did not plan to express their stance so quickly.

Although they are very anxious, it should be Soochow who is more anxious, and when talking about cooperation, whoever is more anxious will suffer more.

They had already planned to put the matter of returning to Eastern Wu after ascending the throne, and no matter what happened to Cao Pi's side, it was impossible to send troops so quickly.

Even if the troops are really dispatched, Dongwu will not be defeated by virtue of the Yangtze River, and even better if it really sends troops, and when the time comes, Sun Quan may make greater compromises and concessions in the face of pressure.

Don't say anything unkind, he Wu Lao Er has done too many unkind things.

I didn't plan to take advantage of Cao Pi's attack on Wu, and saw the opportunity to take down Dongwu in one fell swoop, and picked peaches to make Cao Pi the ultimate worker.

Then with the Jianghuai and Qinling Mountains as the boundary to divide the world, and then map the north, Liu Chan felt that he was kind enough.

Of course, if it weren't for Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, he would morally have to attack Cao Wei first, which would actually be a good option......

On the surface, Lao Liu and Liu Chan were hesitant and hesitant about whether to join forces with Soochow again.

In fact, the father and son acted as if this incident had never happened at all, and they were still busy with their own work.

Zhang Wen's side always did not get a positive answer, and he was beaten to death by Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and other officials......

The days passed day by day in Zhang Zhonglang's gains and losses.

The major events related to the enthronement have long been arranged, and now the preparations and arrangements are only for the following people.

Zhuge Liang withdrew again and devoted a lot of time to the preparations for the Northern Expedition.

The development of his single-soldier repeating crossbow has temporarily encountered a bottleneck, and the power and burst are like an inseparable fish and a bear's paw, which makes it difficult for the great inventor to overcome for a while.

So he paused for a moment and threw himself into the training of ordinary soldiers.

This is divided into two parts, the soldiers of the Central Army mainly receive combat formation training, and the other part of the special recruits, Zhuge Liang specially tailored a training plan for them.

These soldiers who received special treatment were naturally the Yimin army sent from Nanzhong.

These soldiers have poor military discipline, fierce and at the same time undisciplined by ordinary people, only Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan can suppress them.

Liu Chan is making every effort to build the Red Star Army that has been transferred again, so these Yimin troops were handed over by Lao Liu to Zhuge Liang for personal training.

Among them, the five soldiers of Qingqiang were taken out by him alone to form an independent army because of their courage and bravery, called the "Flying Army", which was called the "Wudang Flying Army" in later generations.

And the other Yiren warriors were also organized into an army, awarded titles, and trained intensively.

Out of consideration for promoting their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, Zhuge Liang did not let them practice complex battle formations, but improved them based on their original combat methods.

The army is often equipped with bows and crossbows, and the arrows continue to follow their habits for quenching, and they are equipped with "iron thistles", which are useful props for cavalry, to increase their combat power when they are on the cavalry.

The production capacity of Linqiong is full, and the blast furnaces will not stop for a day, constantly building weapons and making armor.

In addition to Liu Chan readjusting their production model and improving efficiency, the blacksmiths also became more proficient in making new equipment.

The reduction of substandard products and the improvement of production speed have also made the new equipment produced by Linqiong be sent to the army faster and faster.

In addition to the Red Star Army, Lao Liu's Central Army also began to replace these new equipment.

And these new equipment, of course, have become top secrets.

Liu Chan is not the only one who can use spies and buy informants, since the first batch of new equipment has been successfully developed, more than ten people have disappeared silently.

Among these people are craftsmen, soldiers, and even junior officials.

Bashu's counter-espionage work has also taken on an increasingly grim form.

Of course, Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng and others attach enough importance to the confidentiality of information, and they do not need Liu Chan to send shadow guards to solve it.

Wang Meng, the "gold medal jungler", has been sent out by him again since the last time they met, and the main destination this time is Nanyang.

It's not that he and Lao Liu have already set a strategy to attack Nanyang, but ...... It can only be sent to Nanyang.

After the Wudu area in the west was demolished by Boss Cao, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and those places in the northwest had little communication with the outside world, and it was too eye-catching to send them over, and that side was not Cao Wei's strategic focus.

As for Guanzhong, firstly, it will not be the main focus of attack, secondly, the defense is tight, and the espionage work is relatively difficult, and Liu Chan only arranged a small number of people to be responsible for exploring intelligence.

Money, food, soldiers, weapons, equipment, and military intelligence espionage are all being prepared in an orderly manner before the official dispatch of troops.

At the same time, a major event also occurred in Jiaozhou, which shocked the local area.

Jiaozhi Taishou and Long Bian Hou Shixie killed their relatives in righteousness, and personally ordered their son Shihui to be beheaded.

Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lu Dai, who supervised the matter, had ordered someone to send a letter written by his head and King Wu to Chengdu......
