Extraordinary daily life starting from evil spirits

This is naturally where Liu Bei entered Shu. After passing some of the previous checkpoints, he came to Baidi City.

Liu Bei sent someone to tell the defenders of Baidi City, and the defenders were relieved.After all, the opponent's 5000 elite are here, and I have only [-] people in Baidi City.Even if Baidi City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the defender doesn't think he can resist for long.

But when they heard that Liu Bei came to help resist Cao Cao, the generals here were very happy.why?Because Liu Bei has been famous for too long, and he is still the emperor's uncle... Anyway, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang both have the surname Liu.

So the guard told Liu Zhang in Chengdu about this as quickly as possible.And because of this incident, the gentry in central Shu and the Dongzhou faction were even more alienated...

The reason is that after the comparison, the Dongzhou faction felt that Liu Bei (Qingzhou) was more suitable for refuge than Cao Cao.Qingzhou has already taken half of the country, and Cao Cao only has a lot of territory now.

Moreover, Cao Cao slaughtered civilians. Although Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was their enemy, it didn't mean they could accept Cao Cao's slaughter of Hanzhong.Therefore, Liu Bei, who is very famous in Dongzhou Party and has a heart of benevolence, is particularly fancy.

But the native gentry in central Shu didn't think so, they stayed too comfortably in Central Shu.From their point of view, no matter whether they seek refuge with Cao Cao or the woman from Qingzhou, there will be no good end.

After all, Qingzhou can be regarded as the public enemy of the gentry. Even though they have no news in Yizhou, they have heard many rumors about the massacre of the gentry by paper kites.Let’s not talk about the distance... How close is the incident in Yangzhou?

Cao Cao and Qingzhou are nothing more than choosing between tigers and wolves.How could the gentry live comfortably in Shuzhong, so how could they take the initiative to seek refuge with their two families.

Therefore, the two factions above the court were arguing very fiercely, and because the Dongzhou faction was suppressed a lot on weekdays, it broke out directly now.Liu Zhang's weak personality was immediately confused, and he didn't know what to do.

In the end, Liu Zhang thought about it, and no matter what, he had to go to see if Liu Bei was right.So he immediately sent someone to meet him, and first gave Liu Bei 500 million yuan.

There are not many other things in Sichuan, and there is no shortage of money, food and grass.The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting people with smiling faces, Liu Zhang has a good attitude, so Liu Bei should not be able to do anything to himself, after all, didn't he say to help him resist Cao Cao, and he shouldn't go too far.

The first person who came to test Liu Bei was Zhang Song from the Dongzhou faction.Zhang Song was originally from Central Sichuan, but he had a good relationship with the Dongzhou faction.The main reason is that his appearance is indeed not beautiful, so he was discriminated against in his own camp.

Zhang Song is short in stature, maybe less than 1.6 meters according to the current situation.And the appearance is not beautiful, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

But Liu Bei doesn't care about this, because his purpose of coming here is very clear, which is to bring Shuzhong under the control of Qingzhou.So don't talk about an ugly person, even if only one soldier is sent to pass the order, Liu Bei will entertain him well.

After all, it is better to pay Shuzhong in a soft way than to do it hard... If you fight Shuzhong really hard, many people will die in the end and the city will be destroyed. Isn't it worth the loss?These people are all big men, and it is best to kill less people.

What status and status do you think? Now Liu Bei is not so urgent to enter Shu in history.Now Liu Bei is nothing more than hoping to stop Cao Cao. As for Liu Zhang... it would be good if we could talk about it.

So Liu Bei entertained Zhang Song with a big banquet, and Zhang Song brought 500 million yuan, which also showed Liu Zhang's position.Although Liu Zhang did not seek refuge in Qingzhou, he was actually a little subdued and fearful.

And Zhang Song naturally felt Liu Bei's temptation to Liu Bei, so he decided to entertain Zhang Song every day.It's not just Liu Bei himself... people like Zhang Fei, Xu Shu and Hua Xiong lined up to accompany Zhang Song.

In the past few days, Zhang Song has been deeply moved. Since he was a child, several people have treated him like this. Most of the gentry respected him as soon as they saw his figure and appearance.

So Zhang Song gritted his teeth, and without waiting for the Dongzhou faction to make a decision, he decided to dedicate Chengdu to Liu Bei... After all, scholars die for their confidants, and Zhang Song can't wait to let Liu Bei take over Chengdu .

And Zhang Song began to tell the people in Chengdu about the situation here through messengers, and even told Liu Zhang that the Qingzhou side is good in various ways. When the natives saw Zhang Song's virtue, they knew that he must embrace Liu Bei. thigh up.

But Liu Zhang is really hard to say here. After all, Liu Zhang has no real self-reliance. He just got a Yizhou shepherd in the name of his father, but in fact he still obeys the management of the big man, which is how it is in name.

In addition, Liu Bei's power is not small. This is not the fact that more than 2 people came in to help Liu Bei in history.

There is already a strong enemy in the north, how awesome is Liu Zhang and make another enemy for himself?

At this time, Fazheng said to Liu Zhang: "In any case, both of them have the surname Liu, so we can play the emotional card from this aspect. Now that Liu Bei is already in Baidi City, if you really push the other party to a north-south attack, you Does Liu Zhang have any good fruit to eat?"

Liu Zhang also nodded in agreement. He didn't have much choice in this situation, so he just invited the other party in openly. If it doesn't work, he can ask for more benefits.

Anyway, now the emperor in Qingzhou is also surnamed Liu, and he has not rebelled, so what can Liu Bei do to himself.

So Liu Zhang, a bachelor, asked Liu Bei to bring someone to Chengdu for a gathering, which was regarded as a way to win over the other party's feelings.

While the Dongzhou faction thought well, the Jingzhou local faction did not dare.There are two representatives of the native faction, Huang Quan and Zheng Du, who still hope that Yizhou can be autonomous.

But they are loyal to Liu Zhang, so they will not engage in internal sabotage.But although the local faction will not destroy Liu Zhang, it does not mean that they will not kill Liu Bei.

And it happened that at this time, Cao Cao also sent a messenger to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender.Cao Cao also has an eyeliner, and when he heard that Liu Bei had arrived in Baidi City, he became anxious...

Why did I work so hard to take down Hanzhong? Why not take Yizhouzhong and develop it for a few years before counterattacking back.I didn't expect that I had just taken down Hanzhong in the north of Yizhou, and Qingzhou was in front of me again.

So Cao Cao directly sent a messenger, as long as Liu Zhang can surrender to him, he can do whatever he wants...

And this messenger became the last straw of the Yizhou native faction.

Chapter 490: Liu Bei's Ability

Half a month later, Liu Bei took the vanguard of [-] troops and arrived near Chengdu first.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei felt that 2 people were enough, because the information he inquired about and Zhang Song's information indicated that there are now less than [-] regular soldiers in Chengdu.

But here in Sichuan, where they are used to being at ease on weekdays, the combat effectiveness of 2 people is estimated to be not very good.The fact that Liu Bei brought [-] elites was already the opponent's bottom line. If there were too many people, Liu Zhang might have to think otherwise.

Well...it is indeed because of the surname Liu, so Liu Bei really can't do anything to Liu Zhang.It is naturally best to resolve it peacefully, and if there is a fight, Liu Bei also has confidence in the 1 people under him.

Liu Zhang went out of the city five miles to meet him, and Liu Bei took Xu Shu and Zhang Fei out to talk to Liu Zhang and comfort him...

Liu Bei can speak a lot. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it seems that only Zhang Ren has never heard of Liu Bei's words.So this day is considered to be relatively harmonious, except that the local gentry in Yizhou cannot be seen, there is nothing wrong with it.

After Liu Bei returned, Xu Shu naturally explained the situation. "My lord... Most of the people who came to welcome my lord this time are outsiders, that is, the Dongzhou faction that Zhang Song mentioned."

"Yizhou local faction doesn't welcome us very much, and they don't even give Liu Zhang face. So, my lord, be very careful. It's better to wait for me to inquire about some news first."

Liu Bei nodded. Speaking of which, he also felt that those people seemed to dislike him. From the moment he entered Chengdu, Liu Bei felt that someone was secretly staring at him.

So Liu Bei said to Xu Shu: "Let's go to visit together. Since the Dongzhou faction has shown favor, we will naturally reciprocate. I heard from Ziqiao (Zhang Song) that the representative of the Dongzhou faction is Fa Xiaozhi, so we will visit tomorrow. He's all right now."

The two of them simply settled the matter, and then asked Hua Xiong, who was acting as their guard, to be more careful and rested.

At this time, outside the mansion where Liu Bei and the others lived, more than 100 masked people were already preparing.

These people are all Zheng Du's people, but their current body configuration is the standard of Cao Jun, whether it is a crossbow or a weapon.

Zheng Du said to the leader of the team, a general of the Zheng family: "Whether this matter is successful or not will represent the future of our Yizhou."

"If Liu Bei can be killed and blamed on Cao Cao, the two sides will be able to fight. Because Qingzhou is fighting Jizhou, so Liu Bei's men are only 5 people."

"If we succeed, we can recruit Liu Bei's subordinates to work for us. After all, it was Cao Cao who killed their lord, so it is much more normal to unite against Cao Cao."

"In this way, we in Yizhou will have a chance to breathe, and we can control this Sichuan by virtue of the natural danger."

"Otherwise, no matter if it's Cao Mengde or the tiger girl, we won't get any benefit in the end. As long as Qingzhou and Jizhou's vigor is seriously injured in the death battle, we will still be the gentry in Shuzhong in a few decades."

The general nodded: "Master, don't worry, we will fulfill our mission and kill that Liu Bei."

A group of people were waiting outside the mansion, and they could act when Liu Bei was completely asleep and his men were sleepy.There are only more than 20 personal guards on Liu Bei's side, and it is impossible for other soldiers to enter Chengdu because they are outside the city.

These people were obedient, and they stayed not far from the mansion where Liu Bei was resting. They didn't prepare to act until around the third watch.

A group of people came to the gate of Liu Bei's mansion, and the general ordered his men to open the gate.If you are not found, take your time, and wait for the other party to find out before forcing you in.

Soon the door of the mansion was opened, maybe the people inside didn't care, so the door was plugged with a piece of wood, and opened with a slight pick with a weapon.

The soldier observed and found that no one was patrolling, so he gestured to the general.The general nodded and led the people to file in, and quickly occupied the front yard of the mansion.

The general felt a little strange because there was no one in the front yard.So he couldn't help thinking about it, maybe the other party had rested, thinking that it was very safe here in Chengdu.

There will be a few people left outside the house, and the rest will start attacking the backyard.The general said to his subordinates in a low voice: "As soon as you see someone, you will do it. Don't let that Liu Bei run away!"

Then the general led people into the backyard, only to find that the backyard was also very clean and there was no one there.

That speaks for itself, they're definitely exposed. "Retreat!" the family general shouted at everyone.

But at the same time, a lot of crossbow arrows were suddenly fired from the surrounding rooms, and twenty or so of the hundred or so people were directly shot down.And when they ran back just now, they saw a general in heavy armor with a somewhat hideous face leading five or six people to block them here.

The general's subordinates were not opponents at all, the four or five who had just rushed forward were instantly killed by the heavily armored general, and the rest of them also retreated, not daring to contend with him.

Just when the general was hesitating, the door to the bedroom opened, and Liu Bei walked out with two swords in hand.After the generals saw Liu Bei, they were very loyal and planned to complete their tasks.

Just when the other subordinates were afraid to do anything, the general rushed towards Liu Bei and shouted at Liu Bei: "General Cao wants you to die here!"

However, just as the general's sword was about to pierce Liu Bei's body, Liu Bei raised his own two swords lightly.The generals didn't react, his weapon Liu Bei Liu Bei fell.

The general was directly stunned, no matter how he thought about it, he would never have thought that Liu Bei's skills were so good.Liu Bei looked at the family and smiled slightly: "My friend... your accent is still very different from that of people in Guanzhong."

As soon as this remark came out, the general blushed immediately, and he didn't know whether it was embarrassment after the lie was exposed, or anger for not completing the master's task.

Liu Bei looked at them, and finally sighed: "Let's go..."

The general was slightly taken aback: "Why are you?"

"Because it's unnecessary." Liu Bei smiled wryly at them.

"Since you asked, then you should give a sentence to the person behind you."

"Whether it's Qingzhou Emperor or Yuan Shao... as long as there is a winner, the winner will rule the world."

"Yizhou is only far away from the Central Plains. Maybe no one pays attention to it on weekdays, but once the Central Plains is stabilized, how can you be partial to it?"

"Maybe Cao Cao has some skills, but do you think you can do it? You can't even beat Cao Cao, how can you resist Qingzhou Army or Jizhou Army?"

"I came here because I don't want to shed blood. Although Qingzhou's policy may not suit your gentry, I can guarantee that you won't kill people randomly. Go tell your master and let him think about it."

Chapter 490: Intimidation

After Liu Bei let those people leave, he said to Hua Xiong at the door: "The other party probably won't come again, let's rest..."

In the front, the family thought that they were doing it very covertly, but Liu Bei's men were all real elites.Just when they were ambushing on the opposite side, they were actually discovered by this side.

The purpose of Liu Bei's doing this is also to have a real talk with the Yizhou local faction. Before, they didn't plan to talk to him at all. Now these people go back and answer their own words, maybe there is still a talk.

Of course, if the other party still insists on going his own way, Liu Bei is naturally not a vegetarian.Now that Liu Bei has saved face for the other party, it depends on whether the other party accepts it.

In the next few days, everything was normal. Liu Zhang entertained Liu Bei every day, and the two sides talked very happily.And the native faction seems to be planning to have a serious talk with Liu Bei. On the third day of Liu Zhang's banquet, a good old man Liu Ba, who is between the Dongzhou faction and the native faction, approached Liu Bei...

Liu Ba is not young, so he naturally respects this old man Liu Bei very much.Liu Ba simply conveyed the idea of ​​the Yizhou local school to Liu Bei.

But to be honest, Liu Bei couldn't help but look down on those people a lot after listening to it.Everyone only thinks about their own one-acre three-point land. They heard that Qingzhou took back the fields and dismissed the servants... These people dare not.

And they hope to persuade Liu Bei through Liu Ba. As long as Liu Bei can prevent Qingzhou from attacking them, these nobles will all support Qingzhou, and they can ask for money or food, but the status of the nobles cannot be changed.

Liu Bei nodded to show that he understood, and Liu Ba continued to say to Liu Bei: "If the interests of the gentry can be guaranteed, these gentry can even collectively express their position to Qingzhou and let Liu Bei be an official in Yizhou forever, and they will cooperate from top to bottom. "

"To occupy Yizhou without bloodshed, and to gain the support of the gentry, why not do it?"

Liu Bei sighed, and on the surface he cooperated with Liu Ba a little emotionally. After the banquet was over and Liu Bei returned to the mansion, Liu Bei called Xu Shu for a discussion.

Xu Shu couldn't help but sneered when he heard what Liu Bei said about the Yizhou gentry's thoughts: "They are really naive, my lord, why don't we lead troops to control Chengdu directly?"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Then Liu Zhang is of the same clan as me after all, and there is no big mistake... I came here hoping to resolve it peacefully, not through bloodshed."

"Tomorrow, I want to visit Xiaozhi to see if there is a proper way to deal with it."

Seeing what Liu Bei said, Xu Shu could only nod his head in agreement.But Xu Shu said another thing, which made Liu Bei seriously consider it.

"I heard that Cao Cao also sent a messenger to contact Liu Zhang. Although Liu Zhang did not express his opinion and has been entertaining the lord these days, those local Yizhou factions communicated closely with the messenger."

"We must prepare early, otherwise once they meet the conditions, those gentry are likely to attack us again."

"My lord... then Cao Cao's messengers are not considered civilians, we can follow Ban Chao's example and get rid of them!"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment. He really didn't know that Cao Cao had a messenger coming. It seems that Liu Zhang deliberately concealed this matter.And the Dongzhou faction didn't tell me, and I don't know if they are all evaluating.

Liu Bei nodded, and then said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi is right. I will let Hua Xiong lead ten people, and you will act around noon tomorrow. This matter can only succeed and not fail. Yuan Zhi, you must find out."

Now Xu Shu was stunned: "Master, why do you want to act at noon tomorrow? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done at night?"

Liu Bei laughed: "Since it's a messenger, it means that the other party won't have too many soldiers following it. As for the action during the day, it's only us who made a statement. Don't forget that they assassinated me two days ago. This time I will Get rid of their luck in front of them."

"At the same time, it is natural to let Liu Zhang express his position as soon as possible. Although he and I are of the same clan, everything is naturally the cause of the emperor. As soon as possible, peacefully resolve the Yizhou issue. It is not too much to threaten occasionally."

Xu Shu paid homage to Liu Bei: "My lord is really rich, so I will go with General Hua to prepare."

Liu Bei went to Fazheng the next day, and Liu Bei didn't take anything into account, and made it clear to Fazheng about Qingzhou Tiger Girl's policy and his views on the gentry.

After Fazheng finished listening, he asked another question: "I heard that Xuande met an assassin the day before yesterday?"

Liu Bei nodded, but then said with a smile: "It's just a thief, I don't need to pursue it."

Fazheng sighed: "The current situation in the court is not clear. After all, Cao Cao in the north does not put much pressure on Shuzhong. So many people have the idea of ​​being trapped in Shuzhong, and Liu Zhang naturally thinks so... ...In their opinion, it is better to be the king of the mountain for a day than to be managed by others."

Fazheng was also incapable of persuading Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was a bit weak-tempered, and it could be said that he was more afraid of danger.If it is really managed by Qingzhou, what should I do if I am harmed in the future?

So Cao Cao can't call in, and Qingzhou can delay it for a day. Anyway, Liu Zhang definitely eats, drinks, and entertains. Even if he lives in Chengdu for the rest of his life, Liu Zhang will never have any objections.

Fazheng and Zhang Song were very anxious, but Liu Zhang hesitated and they had no good solution.Can't Liu Zhang be killed?If this kind of thing is really done, no one in the world will be able to tolerate him, and naturally Liu Bei can't do it either.

But if it continues like this day by day, there will definitely be more and more variables.Although Fazheng was in a hurry, all he could do was persuade Liu Zhang, or suggest that Liu Bei could do something.

Liu Bei smiled lightly, and then said to Fazheng, "Just like what you said earlier, I really can't do anything to Liu Zhang."

"But of course I can attack my enemies, Xiaozhi, do you know that Cao Cao also sent people to Shuzhong?"

Fazheng was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't pay attention to this matter.But after hearing what Liu Bei said, Fazheng frowned. "You mean Liu Zhang contacted Cao Cao?"

Liu Bei laughed: "Don't worry Xiao Zhi, I have already sent someone to inquire about the news. I guess there will be a result soon... At that time, Liu Zhang can only choose us."
