The Three Kingdoms of the Lu family

It is said that Liu Zhang's deployment of troops in Nanzhong is not particularly large. Except for Jianning, there are several thousand troops, and the rest of the places are only a few hundred. ,

All the counties and counties added up, the total strength is only a little over 2. Fortunately, Jiangzhou was defeated, and some people from Jiangyang and other places secretly came to join them. They added up one after another, and some were properly recruited from Nanzhong For the barbarians, Liu Zhang finally gathered [-] people.

Of these 2 people, [-]; Liu Zhang guarded Jianning, but Zhang Ren led the [-] troops and deployed them in Zhuti to prevent the Bingzhou army from going south.

It's just that Liu Zhang's subordinates today, although there are generals like Zhang Ren, civil servants like Huang Quan, and some Qingqiang barbarians as helpers, after all, they are already weak in Xishan. Facing the powerful Bingzhou army, Liu Zhang will counterattack with all his strength , can only hide in Jianning and muddle through.

Liu Zhang's sudden entry into Nanzhong also broke the original strength pattern of Nanzhong. Many barbarians felt a little uneasy about Liu Zhang's garrison in Jianning. Qu Shuai, a wealthy family in Jianning, did not seem so eager for Liu Zhang's arrival. , even very cold.

However, compared to the weak Liu Zhang, the barbarians and nobles in Nanzhong are more afraid of the powerful Bingzhou Army intervening in Nanzhong. Therefore, when Liu Zhang first entered Nanzhong, he was afraid that the Bingzhou Army would take advantage of the victory and kill the barbarian Qu Shuai in Nanzhong. They all formed an alliance with Liu Zhang one after another, joined forces with Liu Zhang, and prepared to resist.

But after waiting for two full months, seeing that the cold winter was coming, the Bingzhou army had no intention of going south at all. The barbarians who had originally sent troops changed their minds immediately. Some people began to ask Liu Zhang for benefits as a reward for sending troops. The others simply came up with Jianning's idea, hoping to drive Liu Zhang away and occupy it by themselves.

Another part was afraid of Zhang Ren's prestige and weak strength. He was afraid of being cannon fodder to attack Liu Zhang, so he secretly supported Liu Zhang and helped Liu Zhang maintain his rule.

There are also some powerful families, seeing the great chaos in the world, and the Bingzhou Army seems to have a south-south heart, and they have developed huge ambitions. Among them, the Nanzhong wealthy families Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and others are the leaders, and they are constantly encouraging Liu Zhang to leave. Yizhou even took refuge with soldiers and horses as bait. [

In such a mysterious atmosphere, Liu Zhang coveted Yong Kai and others' soldiers and horses, and with the idea of ​​wooing the nobles in Nanzhong, he announced that Nanzhong would separate from Yizhou and establish a state of its own. Nanzhong should be Ningzhou. Liu Zhang called himself Ningzhou Mu, wantonly rewarded Nanzhong officials.

And unite with Jiaozhou Shixie to support each other!Yong Kai, Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and other powerful families in Nanzhong heard the news and responded, even leading their troops to join them.

For a while, Liu Zhang regained his momentum, and he seemed to be coming back from the dead.

When the news was sent back to Chengdu, Lu Yi was really taken aback. He secretly thought that Liu Zhang is really a centipede who is dead but not stiff. It was a smile.

If I remember correctly, Yong Kai and the others are all careerists. , Although he was a wealthy family in the past, he had no official status, so he dared not openly declare himself a vassal.

Now that Liu Zhang, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, is the prefect of one side, Yong Kai and others will break away from Liu Zhang and stand on their own sooner or later.

"It seems that Nanzhong is getting more and more lively!"

Smiling and throwing away the information on Nanzhong sent by Chen Gong, Lu Yi shook his head, and was even more thankful that he did not send troops to chase and kill Liu Zhang early in the morning. If so, not only would he fall into the quagmire of war, but some ambitious people would also hide.

On the contrary, it is like this now, waiting for them to jump out one by one to fight against Liu Zhang, and then I only need to clean up the mess in Nanzhong at the end.

As for the matter of Liu Zhang establishing himself as the shepherd of Ningzhou, Lu Yi was a little surprised. In troubled times, he had seen things like abolishing counties and counties. Apart from Gongsun Du, Liu Zhang was the second one to set up a prefecture without authorization.

This is slapping Cao O in the face, Cao O will definitely not answer.

But in the next few days, when Chen Gong sent information from Yong'an again, the content inside surprised Lu Yi.

When Cao Wen heard that Liu Zhang had established himself as the shepherd of Ningzhou, instead of being angry, he helped Liu Zhang and sent envoys to enter Jiaozhou to confer Liu Zhang the title of shepherd of Ningzhou and General Pingnan!The identities of Yong Kai, Zhu Bao and others were also confirmed one by one!

Seeing this information, Lu Yi immediately sneered, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood what was going on.Cao Cao is afraid.

Afraid that if he captured Yizhou, he would not be able to help but attack Xuchang. This is to elevate Liu Zhang's status and support a Ningzhou to fight against Yizhou! [

Moreover, Cao O not only supported Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, who was far away in Jiangxia, was also given a hand by Cao O.

Just when Liu Zhang established himself as the shepherd of Ningzhou, Cao Cao sent an envoy to Liu Bei in Jiangxia, and named Liu Bei the governor of Jiangxia, Guan Yu the governor of Changsha, and Zhang Fei the governor of Yuzhang!

The whole three prefects immediately caused an uproar in Jingzhou, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong was almost angry and went to fight Liu Bei.

Naturally, Liu Bei couldn't let Cao Yu's trick succeed, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to refuse, but he retained the post of Jiangxia's prefect, and he changed from helping to defend Jiangxia to directly controlling Jiangxia.The subtlety of the period is extremely intriguing.

This also allowed Lu Yi to see the changes in Liu Bei today. After all, Liu Bei in history never fell out with Liu Biao until Liu Biao died, but now, Liu Bei and Liu Biao have a rift.

Lu Yi intuitively felt that the land of Jingzhou might not be so peaceful, and maybe at some point, the two Lius would start a terrifying battle.

After all, he occupies Yizhou, Zhuge Liang has no Longzhong opponent, and Jiangdong is Sun Ce. Liu Bei wants to rule the roost in troubled times, except for Liu Biao's idea, it is to attack Yuan Yao in Huainan.

It's just that Yuan Yao is now "protected" by Sun Ce. Lu Yi estimated that it is impossible for Liu Bei to risk a war with Sun Ce, especially if it is a water battle, so Liu Bei is more likely to attack Jingzhou.

"But these are none of my business."

After reading the letter sent by Chen Gong, Lu Yichang sighed, as it is freezing cold today, all his manpower and material resources are used to make the Shu knife, no matter his heart and strength.

For the next days, Lu Yi spent every day in the information sent by Chen Gong, and at night he took turns pampering the pig girl, and when he had time, he would compete with the generals in martial arts.

The internal affairs of Yizhou are handled by Jia Xufazheng and other five major military divisions, and they are well organized without any mistakes. Lu Yi suddenly felt that his life suddenly became more relaxed.

Until the end of the whole winter, there was no war in Yizhou, except that occasionally Dong He's Xuanweisi would bring the barbarian chiefs to visit and ask for the official position of the chieftain, and Lu Yi was a little leisurely about other things.

Just like that, after the Spring Festival, seeing that March was approaching, Jia Xu, Liu Ye and other five people suddenly came to meet together, and their expressions became even more dignified.

Lu Yi immediately became alert for a while, he knew that something big must have happened!
