I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Liao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious. Letting these people back would only allow Liu Bei to equip them immediately and then deal with his own soldiers.

"It's okay!"

Liu Zhe smiled and said, "Wen He has already told you the purpose of this king's coming here?"

Zhang Liao nodded, Liu Zhe sent Jia Xu to take the lead, and told him the purpose of Liu Zhe's coming here.

Liu Bei's new capture of Yizhou, and he took it by disgraceful means, the people's hearts are not stable, and the military's hearts are uncertain.

Originally, Liu Bei's best practice was to cultivate his life and rest, and slowly let the people settle down and Yizhou to settle down.

As long as it takes time, the people of Yizhou will live a stable life and live well, and they will love Liu Bei and support Liu Bei wholeheartedly.

As long as Yizhou is brought into the normal governance track, Liu Bei's strength will be greatly enhanced quickly. This is Liu Bei's ability, and no one can deny it.

Liu Zhe can't deny that Liu Bei does have two skills, especially in winning people's hearts, and Liu Bei is extremely good at it.

Once Liu Bei has a firm foothold in Yizhou, the people of Yizhou will definitely be won over by Liu Bei, and will even become Liu Bei's die-hard loyalists in the future.

Yizhou is very different from other states, that is, Yizhou is a bottom, surrounded by mountains on all sides and surrounded by tall mountains. It can be said that there is less contact with the Central Plains, and it also makes Yizhou easy to defend and difficult to attack. .

Once Liu Bei has a firm foothold in Yizhou, it will cost a lot to win Yizhou in the future.

So, here comes Liu Zhe.

Liu Zhe doesn't want to take Yizhou right now. His purpose here is to consume Liu Bei. Even if Liu Bei can't be completely separated from Yizhou, he still has to tear a crack between Liu Bei and Yizhou, so that Liu Bei can't get along with him. The complete integration of Yizhou made it impossible for Liu Bei to turn Yizhou into his back garden.

These Jia Xu had already told Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao knew the purpose, but he still did not understand why Liu Zhe wanted to release Ji Ling and the prisoners.

"Letting them go is to give Liu Bei the confidence to continue spending time with this king here."

Liu Zhe said indifferently, "If Liu Bei is maimed in a battle, Liu Bei will not dare to come out, and will come to beg this king for mercy. If this king is not allowed, won't the world say that this king is not his?"

"Or maybe he hides from Liu Bei and doesn't dare to come out to fight. Is it possible that the King of Kings really wants to go to Chengdu?"

"If this king brings people to Chengdu, and the people of Yizhou are once again stricken by war, they will certainly bear their previous resentment on this king as well."

It's like a person who has been burglarized in his home and has not had time to be sad, and then a thief comes again, and naturally he will record all the losses on the second thief.

Liu Zhe didn't want to run to help Liu Bei take the blame now.

Moreover, Liu Bei is now the actual controller of Yizhou. If Liu Zhe kills him in Chengdu, let Liu Bei make trouble secretly, and let the people of Yizhou share the same hatred, this will make Liu Bei gain the support of the people of Yizhou more quickly. To say it is self-defeating.

Liu Zhe, who had thought about it very clearly, had already made up his mind. He came under the banner of helping Liu Zhang to seize Yizhou, and he would control the battle line in the Fucheng area and would not go further into Yizhou. ..

2957, everyone is amazed

As long as you control Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass, you can go south to Yizhou in the future, anytime, anywhere.

There is no need to run in now to help Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei can more easily integrate Yizhou.

"This king is now bringing people here to fight against Liu Bei, and he wants to involve Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei will not be freed to integrate Yizhou." Liu Zhe said to Zhang Liao.

"Liu Bei is here, but according to the minister's inquiries, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to sit in Chengdu. Zhuge Liang can also help Liu Bei integrate Yizhou." Zhang Liao was puzzled and said his inner doubts.

There is no doubt about Zhuge Liang's ability. If he helped Liu Bei integrate Yizhou in Chengdu, he would have done better than Liu Bei.

"Haha, Wen Yuan, you don't need to worry about that."

Guo Jia laughed, and he said, "Let me ask you, if you were Liu Bei and found out that you were no longer the opponent of King Yan here, what would you do? If you still have strength in the back."

"Of course reinforcements are dispatched from the rear." Zhang Liao replied without thinking.

"Then let me ask you again, there is a shortage of supplies in the front, do you want to drop supplies from the rear?"

"Of course, does this still need to be asked?" Zhang Liao asked again.

"If the supplies are not enough, but the people still have supplies and food, what will you do?" Guo Jia asked again.

"Of course it is to force food and supplies from the people..."

After Zhang Liao said this, he immediately understood, showing a look of enlightenment.

"King Yan is here to threaten Liu Bei, so that Liu Bei will snatch food from the people?" Zhang Liao said.

"But the food in Yizhou will not be too short, right?"

Zhang Liao had a new question. He said, "Yizhou is a land of abundance, so there will be no shortage of food, right?"

Since Liu Yan served as the shepherd of Yizhou, Yizhou has been governed by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang for two generations. There was not much war in Yizhou, and it was a suitable place for farming, so there must be a lot of food reserves.

When Liu Zhang surrendered, Chengdu did not suffer much damage, not to mention the food.

"Wenyuan, you guessed it wrong."

Guo Jia smiled and said, "According to the information we have obtained, there is not much food in Yizhou now. At least the food in the hands of the government is not enough to support a big war."

After listening to Zhang Liao, he had no doubts. He knew that Guo Jia was in charge of the intelligence department, and they spied more intelligence than ordinary people imagined.

"Think about it."

Jia Xu spoke up and said, "Liu Zhang and Liu Bei fought a war for more than two years, how much damage was caused to Yizhou? Yizhou still has food surplus, it can be considered that Liu Zhang managed well and stored so much food. Now that Yizhou has just experienced the war, it is not bad to have enough food to fill the stomach, where is there enough for Liu Bei to continue to consume?"

"King Yan wants to confront Liu Bei here for a long time, so that Liu Bei will continue to consume the few materials left in Yizhou. Once the materials are consumed too much, the people will not be able to fill their stomachs, do you think they will follow Liu Bei with all their hearts? "

"And, think again."

Guo Jia said with a terrifying smile on his face, "Yizhou's supplies are not enough, does he want Liu Bei to bring in supplies from Jingzhou? Is the consumption on the road a lot?"
