Chapter 546 Liu Bang Continues to Upgrade

"Where Zhoudu sent people to search our most populous city?" Liu Xu looked at the latest information in his hand, with doubts in his eyes.

"My lord, can you show me?" Zhuge Liang who was on the side took the initiative to ask. After the defense of Luoyang Palace was completely handed over to King Tota Li, Zhuge Liang followed Liu Xu to the world of white elephants.

It's just that Zhuge Liang has been running around all the time these days, and rarely follows Liu Xu.It just so happened that Zhuge Liang came to report to Liu Xu today, and the information from the other side happened to be sent over.

"My lord? Is this information accurate?" Zhuge Liang asked solemnly after reading the information.

The information was written very briefly, and the content was a bit weird. It said that Zhou Capital sent thousands of spies and ordered them to disperse and investigate the surrounding cities with a large number of people.

But these spies were only asked to investigate the news, and did not order them to carry out any sabotage actions. Since the core order was to come back alive after the investigation, Liu Xu also seemed a little puzzled after seeing the news, not knowing what the other party wanted. What to do.

And when he heard Zhuge Liang's question, he immediately smiled and said, "There must be no problem with the information, after all, this is the news from Liu Bang!"

Well, Liu Bang was also in Zhoudu at this time, and his official status became bigger and bigger. Now he is the head of Zhoudu's intelligence department.

After being thrown in the hinterland by the Moon King, Liu Bang, who was holding the only elite army in the Zhou Kingdom, showed extremely superb commanding skills in the face of the siege of a large number of troops, and led more than 1 troops abruptly About 1000 people came back, many of whom were of high caste, which naturally made these nobles grateful to Liu Bang.

Secondly, Liu Bang's skill at making friends and personal charm once again exerted amazing effects. Almost all of these nobles became Liu Bang's friends, and it was even said that some nobles even took the initiative to become Liu Bang's subordinates.

For example, the second son of the Shui family, as a favorable competitor for the head of the Shui family, actually voluntarily gave up the right of inheritance. After returning, he followed Liu Bang and stayed with Liu Bang longer than at home. He also praised Liu Bang with his mouth, and praised him with his mouth shut. If someone spoke ill of Liu Bang behind his back, he would immediately send someone to kill him in the street.

There are still many high-caste nobles like this, and Zhou Tianzi naturally took a high look at Liu Bang, and then entrusted Liu Bang with a heavy responsibility.

In fact, Zhou Tianzi originally wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and Liu Bang killed him when he ran out. After all, he was a low caste, so how could he stand with the noble nobles.

However, with only one Zhou capital left in Zhou's power, the emperor of Zhou wanted to understand a truth, that is, it is absolutely impossible to appoint these useless nobles around him, and it is better to appoint those who are truly capable.

Although these people may rebel in the future and may pollute the high caste, but if they are not used, their own family may have no future.

As a result, as soon as he used it, Zhou Tianzi found that Liu Bang was really a big treasure, because any difficult problem could be solved in Liu Bang's hands.

First of all, the population explosion in Zhoudu brought about chaos. In the most chaotic time, hundreds of fights occurred on the streets every day, and even the nobles in the court would fight directly in front of the Emperor Zhou. Thousands of people died, and Zhou Tianzi was powerless to deal with these situations, and he didn't know how to deal with them. He saw that the population of Zhoudu was about to kill each other and die.

In the end, Zhou Tianzi handed over the task to Liu Bang, but Liu Bang just arranged for a school lieutenant holding a five-color stick, and then beheaded a male clan in the street, which directly restored the order of the entire Zhou capital.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bang properly divided the living order and hierarchy, handled the conflicts among these nobles in an orderly manner, and also handed over a lot of work to the lowest gentry, so that they can get the basic resources to survive , and finally straightened out the whole week smoothly, eliminating too many troubles.

Afterwards, Zhoudu faced the problem of food. As the population exploded, there was not enough food, and the nobles were reluctant to show their posture. One bite would waste ten mouthfuls, and almost all the strange beasts around were killed. , so that Zhou Du will be starved to death soon.

Then Liu Bang came up with an unprecedented method of directly controlling the enemy's food demand, and it was successful. At the same time, he ordered all the food to be eaten by the public first. dust clan.

In this way, the big nobles have a lot of face, and it also keeps the lower-level nobles from starving, successfully solving the food crisis in Zhoudu.

At the same time, Liu Bang also helped Emperor Zhou innovate some systems, helping him to grasp the power of the entire country more firmly.

The occurrence of these things made Zhou Tianzi more and more reluctant to kill Liu Bang, and he had to use him more and more. After all, it was the first time that Zhou Tianzi met such a talent who was good at solving problems in his life. How could he kill Liu Bang? drop it.

Moreover, in Zhou Tianzi's view, no matter how powerful this Liu Bang is, he is just a pariah in the final analysis, and it is impossible for him to gain the true allegiance of the high-caste nobles.

And no matter how many things he has done now, how many people he has offended. In the future, he only needs to say a word, and some people will help him kill Liu Bang, so now Liu Bang lives very safely. It was also completely handed over to Liu Bang.

And Liu Bang naturally reported it to Liu Xu as soon as he changed hands. As for the purpose behind this action, Liu Bang didn't know.

After learning that the secret was actually discovered by Gaozu Liu Bang, Zhuge Liang had a slightly weird expression, and finally sighed, "It seems that Zhoudu is planning to launch a surprise attack on our population gathering place!"

"Prime Minister, are you so sure that the purpose of the other party's investigation is for a surprise attack?" Liu Xu asked suspiciously. After all, there was no hint of action from the beginning to the end of this information.

"Yes, I'm not only sure that the other party's purpose is to launch a surprise attack, but also that the purpose of doing this is to lure you out, my lord!" Zhuge Liang said.

"How do you know?" Liu Xu asked quickly.

"Because if they want to force you out, my lord, this is the only way they can!" Zhuge Liang said, "If the opponent wants to regain the lost ground, they should look for the strategic points around the capital of Zhou. If they want to plunder the population, they should look for the distance. The nearest population agglomeration, rather than directly exploring which city has the most population."

"But they did this. Naturally, there is only one purpose. They use these people as hostages to force you to come forward, so that they can find a chance to kill you!"
