Great Wei Nengchen

But since entering Sichuan, his hegemony has improved greatly, but his reputation has gotten worse and worse. He poisoned his brothers, seized people's foundations, and poisoned the souls... It seemed that there was a black hand that dragged him into the endless abyss. , How do history books evaluate Liu Xuande?

"Wars are raging everywhere, and people are dying. This is inevitable. My lord, don't be too guilty. Everything is for the rejuvenation of the big man!"

"The subordinates have already sent people to set up tents and shacks outside the city for the refugees to shelter in. They have also collected food, clothing, and firewood everywhere, so as to minimize starvation and freezing to death—ah!"

Pang Tong, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong stood behind, trying to comfort Liu Bei, but looking at the dilapidated city of Chengdu, they also had no confidence in their words!

In all honesty, they have tried their best, but there are too many refugees, at least 10,000+ people. There are more things to deal with, and it is extremely difficult to raise supplies!

One is that Bashu has just been pacified, people’s hearts have not yet been attached, and effective rule has not been established. In some places, officials have not even been appointed, so it is naturally difficult to collect food and taxes!

The second is heavy rains in autumn, severe floods, severe reduction in grain production, and even extinction in some places. People are short of food, and they can’t fill their stomachs. What do they use to pay taxes?

As for Jingzhou, the five southern counties are not a rich place, and their production is relatively limited, and they have to support the army of Kong Ming and Guan Yu in their campaigns, so there are very few materials that can be allocated to Sichuan. In addition, the road is far away, and the consumption along the way is huge. Only two or three out of ten were sent to Chengdu!

Thinking of this, Pang Tong, Sun Qian and the others really admired Xiao Yi. The Central Plains also experienced locust plagues, droughts, and floods... There were countless hungry people, without food or drink, which almost led to a large-scale civil uprising!

Xiao Yi can always deal with it calmly, trying to get food, clothing, and medicinal materials to help the people tide over the difficulties, and then rebuild their homes and resume production. Not only is there no turmoil in the Central Plains, but it is even more peaceful and prosperous!

Pang Tong and others often ridiculed Xiao Yi, saying that Xiao Yi was a "little favor, buying people's hearts", and now they really know that this is a great skill, it is easy to kill, but it is difficult to live!

"Have the family members of Zhang Ren, Liu Ba, Ling Bao and others been found in the city?"

"There are also Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Peng Yi, Wang Lei and others. Why haven't they been invited yet? Could it be that they stay behind closed doors and don't want to see my uncle?"

The three cities in the south of Jinniu Road have already fallen into the hands of Liu Bei's army, but the cities in the north, especially the most important Jianmen Pass, are still under the control of the generals in central Shu. After the army conquered Chengdu, Liu Bei sent people to recruit them several times. , These people just refuse to surrender!

The terrain of Jinniu Road is dangerous. It is not only the gateway to defend Bashu, but also the bridge to attack Hanzhong. If you don’t get it in your hands, Liu Bei will not sleep well, and Chengdu’s safety will not be guaranteed!

Therefore, after the city was broken, Liu Bei immediately ordered to send troops to surround the mansions of Zhang Ren, Liu Ba and others, and "properly protect" their families. He wanted to use this as a bargaining chip to force Zhang Ren, Liu Ba and others to surrender. Take the Golden Bull Road!

As for Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Peng Yi and others, they are all talents in Sichuan and have a great reputation. If they can be used for their own use, it will be of great benefit to Liu Bei's rule of Bashu, and it can also restore some people's hearts to some extent!

But three or four days passed, and no one was seen, which made Liu Bei very anxious!

"After the army broke through the city, my subordinates led a team and found the mansion of Zhang Ren and others. It had been burned into ruins, but there were no charred corpses among the ashes everywhere!

The subordinates sent a large number of people to search among the refugees outside the city, but they did not see the family members of the Shu generals. However, it is reported that on the night before the city was broken, several families mysteriously disappeared!

There are also Zhang Su, Zhang Song, Peng Yi... Dozens of Shuzhong heroes, their whole families, young and old, gold and silver, all disappeared overnight, I am afraid that someone will strike first! "

Pang Tong was so depressed that he wanted to hit the wall. He was able to pick up dozens of family members silently in the midst of war. There are not many people in the world who have this ability, and there is only one person who is most suspected - Xiao Yi!

After depression, there is deep fear. Xiao Yi's plan is far-reaching, and things are done so "beautifully", which shows that his tentacles of power have penetrated into all parts of Bashu, and even Liu Bei's army may have his undercover agents!

Now refugees are flooding, hungry and cold, just like a pile of dry firewood, as long as someone still gets a spark, the flames will immediately rise to the sky. If there is a large-scale civil uprising, it will be difficult for Liu Bei's army to gain a foothold in Bashu.

Xiao Yi defeated the Qiang people and took control of the northern part of Jinniu Road. The hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in Hanzhong will soon go south in a big way. A fierce battle is inevitable!

Confronting Xiao Yi on the battlefield and winning the title of 'No.1 General in the World' was what Pang Tong had been looking forward to, but now he was a little worried about gains and losses. Fighting pays attention to timing, location, and harmony. Faced with an enemy as ferocious as a tiger and as cunning as a fox, what chance do you have of winning?

Pang Tong frowned tightly, his ugly face was full of gloom, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart. In the upcoming decisive battle, he might be defeated, but no matter how much he paid, he would win this battle !

Chengdu is dilapidated, refugees are flooding, the hearts of the people are unstable, and supplies are insufficient... Although these things are difficult, they can be solved bit by bit, but there is one thing that makes Liu Bei and Pang Tong sleepless and restless-the Qiang people!

Before buying the Qiang people with property and ordering them to attack the left wing of the Hanzhong Army, I thought it was to restrain Xiao Yi so that he could not send troops to Bashu!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi came to Liangzhou in person, defeated the Qiang soldiers in the First World War, beheaded tens of thousands, and surrendered the rest of the people. He also took this great opportunity to establish the "Southwest Protectorate" to expand thousands of miles of territory for the great Han. Cheering for joy, Xiao Yi's prestige also soared all the way!

What was even more unexpected was that after Xiao Yi subdued the Qiang people, he made a big fuss about this matter, and found a lot of 'evidence' that Liu Bei was a treacherous Han traitor in colluding with the Qiang people and invading the Han land!

The conscience of heaven and earth, Liu Bei and Pang Tong's original intention was to use the Qiang people, not to collude with the Qiang people, and they would not leave any evidence. Those so-called collaborating letters must be another trick of the little black face!

What is even more depressing is that Xiao Yi poured out a basin of footwashing water, but when it fell on Liu Bei and Pang Tong, it turned into "golden juice" in the hut. The reason is that Chinese people's ability to gossip is too strong up!

After Xiao Yi's victory, he announced to the world in Wudu County: Liu Bei colluded with the Qiang people, invaded the land of Han, and became brothers with the leader of the Qiang people, and ceded the territory of the twelve counties of Xiliang!

When the news spread to Hanzhong, it turned out that Liu Bei colluded with the Qiang people, respected the leader of the Qiang people as his elder brother, and ceded the territories of Xiliang and Guanzhong in exchange for supporting himself as king!

When the news reached Bashu, it turned out that Liu Bei colluded with the Qiang people, respected the leader of the Qiang people as his foster father, offered the land west of the Yellow River, and wished to be his son emperor!

…………

At this speed, when the news spreads all over the world, I am afraid that Liu Bei will become the leftist, respecting the leader of the Qiang people as the ancestor, dedicating all the land in the world, and willing to be the emperor of the sun!

It is said that rumors only stop at the wise, but there are a few wise men in the world, most of them are fools and foolish women, who have nothing to do with Zhang's parents and Li's family, sowing rumors. Now that there is such exciting news, it is natural to spread rumors more and more bigger.

A person can gain a good reputation by doing many good deeds, but as long as he does one bad deed, his reputation will be ruined. Liu Bei belongs to the latter. Now when the word "Uncle Liu Huang" is mentioned--haha!

The feces are drenching your head, and the smell is unbearable, so let's wash it white if you want to, I'm afraid it will become darker and darker!

Faced with many difficulties, Liu Bei racked his brains, but he couldn't think of any good solution, while Pang Tong's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something!

"My lord, my lord, all the generals are here and waiting in the hall!"

"Okay, let's go too!"

Chapter 1561 The big-eared thief wants to be king! (three)

The central hall of the Chuanzhu Temple has become the public hall of Yizhou Mu. Liu Bei sits on the top seat, surrounded by solemn and solemn, surrounded by cigarettes. It does not look like a flesh and blood person, but more like a wooden statue of a clay sculpture, which also makes people resound. A famous saying: "Those who are gods, although they are enshrined, hate has no effect!" '

There are more than a hundred civil and military people lined up on both sides, including Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Yi Ji, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang... these old Jingzhou tribes!

There are also Fazheng, Li Yan, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, Li Hui, Zhang Yi, Qin Mi, Deng Zhi, Yang Hong and other Yizhou new ministers. Huang Quan is also among them, and his position is relatively high.

"I'm waiting to congratulate the lord--enterprising Chengdu, and the hegemony will be achieved early!"

"Hehe, thank you for your good words, take a seat and drink!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

After all the civil and military personnel were seated, there were servants in Tsing Yi who brought dishes. Although they were not delicacies from mountains and seas, there were also chicken, duck, fish, and old wine. I can't even eat a bite of rice bran!

Today's big banquet is not only to celebrate the capture of Chengdu and the entire territory of Bashu, but also for Liu Bei to officially issue orders as Yizhou shepherd, and to take this opportunity to reward all the ministers who have made great contributions!

Those who reward merit are nothing more than being promoted to rank, wife and son. This is the ancient and modern practice, but Liu Bei keeps smiling on his face, but secretly complains in his heart, because he is facing a problem-there is no reward!

Liu Bei is the shepherd of Jingzhou and also the shepherd of Yizhou. He can also be regarded as a great official in the frontier. According to the system of the Han family, he can appoint officials such as Biejia, Zhizhong, Zhushu, Taishou, county magistrate, and miscellaneous generals!

However, the civil and military ministers sitting here are the core of the two major groups of Jingzhou and Yizhou. There are no vacancies and no room for advancement.

There are many high-ranking officials in the Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that Liu Bei can't appoint them. He can't use the status of a state shepherd to add a few Da Sima and Da Sikong, so that people in the world will laugh at their big teeth, and they will not have any authority!

Adding officials and becoming nobles is not enough, so I have to reward more property. Liu Bei also planned this way. He thought that after conquering Chengdu, he would take all the gold, silver beads, brocade and silk in the treasury, and reward civil and military officials, soldiers, and soldiers. Everyone will be happy!

Unexpectedly, when a big fire came down, the city of Chengdu was burned to ruins, the treasury was reduced to ashes, and even food was almost a problem, so what reward would they get?

If the emperor has no wealth, the scholars will not come, and the emperor will not reward, and the scholars will not go. If there is no reward, I am afraid that the hearts of civil, military and soldiers will be chilled. If you want to drive these people, you may have no motivation.
