In order to strengthen their strength, some shelters were built. The houses were equipped with basic living facilities and everything was complete. Many people who passed by would go in to get food and eat it. Those who took too much would be punished by God. Anyone who breaks the law in the country will be forgiven three times. If he still refuses to change, he will be educated through criminal law.
There are no officials to govern here. They are all managed by offering wine. They have been operating on the land of Hanzhong for more than 30 years. The country believed that Hanzhong was too far away to attack, so it appointed Lu as Zhennan Zhonglang General. , leading Hanning as the prefect, he only needs to pay tribute to the court on time.
After Cao Cao defeated the Xiliang army, he shocked the world and broke the peace in Hanzhong. In addition, there was Yu Yi stationing troops in Ziwu Valley. He didn't know the enemy or friends, so he gathered a crowd to discuss and said: "Xiliang Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao. Ma Chao is newly defeated, Yu Yi is stationed in Ziwu Valley, and we don’t know our enemies or friends. Cao Cao will definitely invade Hanzhong next. I am going to call myself King Hanning to supervise the troops and horses, unite with Yu Yi, and jointly resist Cao Cao. What do you think?"
Counselor Yan Pu said: "There are as many as one hundred thousand people in Hanchuan. They have ample wealth and food. They are surrounded by mountains and have natural dangers as a barrier. Now that Ma Chao has failed, many people in Xiliang will come to us, and our strength has also increased. Young Master, I think Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak. It’s not too late for us to take down the forty-one states first and then claim the throne!” Zhang Lu was very happy, so he discussed it with his younger brother Zhang Wei and reported the details to Liu Zhang. went.
Yizhou Liu Zhang, named Ji Yu, was the son of Liu Yan and a descendant of King Gong of Hanlu. Zhang Di Yuanhezhong was awarded to Xichuan. Later Liu Yan went to Yizhou and died of illness in the first year of Xingping. Later Yizhou The official circles recommended Liu Zhang as the shepherd of Yizhou. Liu Zhang Zengjin killed Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother, and had a deep hatred for Zhang Lu, so he sent Pang Xi as the governor of Brazil to resist Zhang Lu.
After Lung Xi found out that Zhang Lu was preparing to attack Yizhou, he told Liu Zhang the news. When Liu Zhang knew it, he felt very scared. He was originally very cowardly. After hearing the news, he became even more sad and gathered the officials. During the discussion, a person in the audience came out very confidently and said: "My lord, please rest assured. With my sharp tongue, I will definitely prevent Zhang Lu from attacking our Yizhou."
After the defeat of Xiliang, the affairs of the imperial court were also reported to Yu Yi. It happened that Yu Yi was also troubled. It turned out that after that exciting meeting, the number of soldiers fleeing decreased. Yu Yi also went to check it out in person, but Stationing troops in Ziwu Valley was never an option. Many soldiers were in poor health due to long-term lack of necessary nutrition. Even with high spiritual support, they could not avoid the objective reality. Yu Yi was very sad after seeing this.
After another inspection, Yu Yi returned to the camp and dialed Kong Ming's video call.
Kong Ming was communicating with Pang Tong about the situation in Xichuan, and about Cao Cao's defeat of Xiliang and his return to Xudu. Suddenly he felt the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" in his arms vibrating, and said to Pang Tong: "I'm a little drunk. If you want to go back to your room to rest, I won't send you away. We'll drink when we have time!" After saying that, he looked like he was staggering.
Pang Tong smiled and said: "Classmate, I didn't expect that after I haven't seen you for a few years, your drinking ability is completely out of control!" After saying that, he bowed and left Kong Ming's mansion.
Kong Ming waved to the maid to clean up, then he entered the room and turned on the video.
Yu Yi saw that Kong Ming's face was a little rosy and sighed: "I am sleeping and sleeping in this place, and you are drinking and having fun there. Why? Why are there so many differences between people?"
Kong Ming felt the sourness in Yu Yi's words and explained: "Isn't this an old classmate here? He drank a few more drinks!"
Yu Yi asked: "Did you know that Cao Cao has recently wiped out Xiliang's forces and is very likely to continue to attack Xichuan and take Hanzhong first? If my elder brother is still so kind, the Xichuan family business will not be saved."
Kong Ming nodded and said: "Not only do I know this, I also know that Cao Cao doesn't take Emperor Xian seriously at all now. He is so powerful in the Central Plains and the pressure on our Jingzhou is also great!"
Yu Yi said: "Since you know everything, just lead Jingzhou's soldiers and horses to attack Xichuan! Who are you waiting for? What are you waiting for?"
Kong Ming shook his head and said, "It's not like you don't know this. Your eldest brother is hesitant. I've tried to persuade him many times, but he just refuses to come. There's nothing I can do about it."
Yu Yi rolled his eyes at Kong Ming, reported the recent situation in Ziwu Valley to Kong Ming, and said: "Wolong Fengxiao, An Tianxia, my eldest brother has got you two now, why didn't he see the two of you go to An Tianxia?" He is the top smart person in the world. How can he not even think of a way for my eldest brother to attack Xichuan?"
Kong Ming smiled helplessly and said: "You don't know, I am good at internal affairs and planning, and my classmate Feng Chu is good at offense. One is for the outside and the other is for the inside. We have all suggested it to the lord, but it's useless!"
Yu Yi sighed deeply. He remembered that when he was in Xuzhou before, Tao Qian wanted to give Xuzhou Mu to him in front of Liu Bei, but he didn't want it. In the end, he could only give it to Cao Cao. He lived a homeless life for many years. life.
Seeing that Yu Yi didn't speak, Kong Ming said, "Although your elder brother has written to you, he still can't restrain you. I don't think it's a long-term solution for you to station troops in Ziwu Valley. Why don't you lead your troops to attack Hanzhong?" Well, the King of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu, is not a member of the Han clan, so you can fight him at will, and your eldest brother will definitely support you!"
After hearing this, Yu Yi suddenly understood and said: "I speculate that Cao Cao defeated the Xiliang army, and since I stationed troops in Ziwu Valley, Zhang Lu must have panicked. I might as well send someone to find out the situation first."
Kong Ming nodded and said: "You don't have to care too much about your elder brother's opinion, just do whatever you want to do!"
Yuyi smiled and said, "Thank you very much!" After that, he hung up the video.
Then Yuyi summoned Xu You and asked: "You have also seen the recent situation. I have thought about it again and again. It is not an option for us to station troops in Ziwu Valley for a long time. You have served as a military advisor under my eldest brother, and you also know that my eldest brother is a very hesitant person." A kind person, so I feel like taking the initiative!”
Xu You bowed and said: "I hope I can show Hanzhong and Xichuan to inquire about the situation on both sides. I think after the failure of the Xiliang army, both Hanzhong and Xichuan will have a sense of crisis."
Yu Yi nodded and said: "Those who know me! Xu Youye!"
Xu You bowed again, then rode his horse and galloped away in the direction of Hanzhong.
Ziwu Valley is the gateway to Hanzhong. Xu You walked along and found many people from Xiliang. He randomly found one and asked about it. He learned that after the defeat of Xiliang, many soldiers wanted to find a new environment. He was ready to go to Hanzhong.
Xu You sped up and soon arrived at the gate of Hanzhong City, knocking on the door to explain the situation. Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, was planning to attack Xichuan and kill Liu Zhang. Suddenly someone reported the arrival of an envoy from Tang Lin Army claiming to be Tang Lin.
