As Huang Gai, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu carry out their cruel plan, the situation in Yuzhou will soon experience huge fluctuations.
It is still unclear who is the hunter and who is the prey. It is the hunter who wins or the prey who is more skilled.
Although Huang Gai's bitter plan has begun to be staged, the specific implementation must be a process. Therefore, it will obviously take some time to see the final result.
Among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou is the largest state and the state with the most dangerous terrain.
Because of the barrier of Xiongshan Mountain, communication between Yizhou and the rest of the Han Dynasty was not smooth. It is precisely because of this that despite the constant fighting in the rest of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou still maintained the most basic stability, with only some small-scale conflicts occurring at most.
In the past few years, the biggest war that Yizhou has ever experienced was probably the time when Xiang Yan attacked Yizhou. But that time, Xiang Yan was blocked and did not invade Yizhou at all, and did not cause any losses to Yizhou itself.
Yizhou already had about five million people when Liu Yan first served as the shepherd of Yizhou. Over the years, with the annual increase in population in the system and Liu Che's hard work, the population of Yizhou has doubled. .
Therefore, it should not be underestimated that Liu Che only had a territory in one state, but his strength was at the forefront of the princes in the world.
Moreover, Yizhou’s talent pool doubled, including Zheng Du, Jia Long, Pang Xi, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Zhang Ren, Liu Guan, Fei Guan, Yan Yan, Fu Jin, Xiang Cun, Zhang Yi, and Leng Bao from Yizhou. , Deng Xian, Wu Yi, Wu Ban, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Qin Mi, Zhao Wei, Pang Le, Meng Da and others.
In addition, Huo Guang, Zhang Anshi, Han Zeng, Zhao Chongguo, Wei Xiang, Bingji, Du Yannian, Liu De, Liang Qiuhe, Xiao Wangzhi, Su Wu, Xu Shiji, Dai Tuo, Zhai Jing, Xiao Yan, Chen Qingzhi, Wang Sengbian, Liu Zhiyuan, Zhu Fuyan, Dong Zhongshu, Ji An, Cheng Bushi, Zhang Tang, Zhao Ponu, Xun She, Sang Hongyang, Liu Qi, Zhou Yafu, Chen Tang, Zhang Qian, Liu Fuling, Chao Cuo , Dou Yihu and other civil and military ministers, Liu Che's power in Yizhou has obviously grown into a behemoth, and cannot be underestimated by any prince in the world.
Moreover, Liu Che himself was very courteous and valued talents, so he was deeply loved by his ministers.
For example, Liu Che accidentally heard that Gan Ning Gan Xingba, a native of Linjiang, Ba County, had committed local crimes when he was young. He formed a Qu division to rob ships and property, advocated luxury, and was known as the Jinfan Thief. But he was cheerful and forthright, brave and resourceful, despised money, and respected scholars. Therefore, Liu Che specially went to recruit with two horses under the escort of General Liu Zhiyuan, and recruited another general for Shu.
However, Yizhou, which used to be relatively stable, has now begun to ignite war.
As the war began to break out in Yizhou, this also meant that among the states of the Han Dynasty, princes from each state sent troops and fell into a state of war, either fighting within the states themselves, or sending troops to other places.
Nowadays, although there are many princes in the world, with the Qin government in Youzhou still preparing for the attack, other princes and forces have already joined in this feast of war.
Yizhou, Shu County, Chengdu.
"Trash, all of them are trash, and they were defeated twice in a row by a group of barbarians!" An angry roar came from the hall.
After all, if the first defeat was due to the opponent's surprise attack and one's own lack of preparation, then there would be no other reason for the second defeat.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials looked at the angry Liu Che with trembling fear. If anything happens, let's wait until Liu Che's anger subsides first. Looking for excuses now will not only have no effect, but may also add fuel to the fire.
"Okay, stop cowering there, tell me what happened!" After a long time, Liu Che finally seemed tired of scolding, and then he sat back on the King of Shu's throne and said with a straight face.
In fact, Liu Che's conversation just now was just an angry talk to vent his anger, but he didn't really think that his men were a bunch of trash.
Most of Liu Che's subordinates are also familiar with Liu Che's way of doing things. Therefore, just now, they pretended to be deaf and blind, waiting for Liu Che to finish getting angry.
"Lord, the reason why our army was defeated in this battle was because the enemy suddenly appeared an elephant army and a Tengjia army. General Zhao Chongguo was caught off guard, and together with the enemy generals Yu Shi and Jiu Jia, Feng and Feng are brave and good at fighting, but they have failed in their efforts!" Huo Guang, who ranked first among the civil servants, took the initiative to say.
"Elephant Army, Tengjia Army?" Liu Che couldn't help but cheer up after hearing the culprit who caused his army's defeat this time.
"Yes, it is the Elephant Army and the Vine Armor Army, especially the Vine Armor Army under the command of Wu Tugu, the leader of the Ugo Kingdom. Everyone who saw the Vine Armor Army was shocked when they heard that the Vine Armor Army was nine feet short and ugly in appearance. .
There is a first-class vine in the cave, which grows in the mountain stream and is coiled on the stone wall. The Ugo people collected it, soaked it in oil, and then dried it for half a year. After drying and soaking it for more than ten times, it was worn into armor. Use one piece each for the chest and back, two pieces for each arm, and make five pieces of a large skirt, making a total of one pair. When worn on the body, it will not sink when crossing a river, will not get wet with menstrual water, and is so light that no sword or sword can penetrate it. Crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the rattan armor and fall to the ground; swords, spears and stabs cannot penetrate it! "Huo Guang told all the information he had worked hard to find out during this period.
"What happened to the Rain Master and Jiufeng?" Liu Che asked, recalling what Huo Guang had just mentioned.
Now, it was the turn of the people in the generals to feel embarrassed. However, since Liu Che had asked about it, they couldn't avoid talking about it. Therefore, after a slight silence, Xu Shiji, who was standing at the front, spoke.
"My lord, that Yushi is known as the best warrior of the Southern Barbarians, but General Liu Zhiyuan was severely injured when he fought with him. If General Gan Ning and General Yan Yan hadn't fought to save him, I'm afraid General Liu would have..." Although Xu Shiji He didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant.
If Huo Guang ranks first among the civil servants under Liu Che, then Xu Shiji ranks first among the generals. Although Zhao Chongguo was leading the army this time, Xu Shiji himself was also paying close attention, and his understanding of the specific situation on the front line was far better than others.
"As for Jiufeng, she is the sister of Yushi, but her strength is not inferior to that of Yushi at all, and is even better than that of Yushi. It is only because she is a daughter that Yushi becomes the number one in the Southern Barbarians. Warrior." Xu Shiji said with some embarrassment.
After all, as a soldier, it is indeed not a glorious thing to be defeated by a group of barbarians.
