In fact, Pang Tong was still young after all. Although he understood what was going on, he was inevitably limited by his personal experience and desire to express himself, so it was a bit trivial. If Guo Jia were here, it would be obvious if he drank a bowl of wine.

The problem in Shu was that Liu Yan not only killed indiscriminately and punished (several local leaders were killed in succession), but more importantly, he also refused to feed people. Needless to say, the local scholars and people suffered comprehensive plunder and occupation, and the immigrants from Dongzhou

The scholars followed him to dominate and prosper, but they didn't have enough to eat.

The reason is not only that the Dongzhoushi group is too bloated, but also that the local forces in Shu are too strong. It is also not only that the big families in Shu lack political say, but more importantly, Liu Yan cannot

While developing production, we are enjoying our own power too much.

A simple and direct question, after the Jialong and Renqi rebellions, you didn't appease the people, you didn't take advantage of the situation to annex the land assets of the local wealthy families, and you built thousands of cars with the emperor's ceremonial specifications. What do you mean?

How much manpower and material resources will be spent?

How many times did you use it last?

A mere Shu region with a population of 5 million could have a total of 1,000 luxury cars before?

How can the people of Shu be like this?

However, in late April, Fei Shang, Liu Yan's nephew who arrived in Hanzhong on an envoy mission but never returned, did not hear these words from Guo Jia, the prefect of Hanzhong, but when he saw the young and majestic

After Guo Fujun and General Zhao responded briefly, they were quickly surrounded by several Qianshi officials.

Fei Boren was already prepared for his enthusiasm for these ridiculously young civil and military officials... He knew that, he knew that most of these people were the best among them, and he also knew that these people were sorted by age by Duke Yan himself.

He Cai sent Yi Cong in batches to various places for resettlement, just because the plan to conquer Shu was concentrated here, and he also knew that the ultimate goal of these people was the so-called first-grade or even superior-grade positions such as state pastor, Taige chief, and even prime minister.

And this kind of young officials, both civil and military, firstly have a strong backing, secondly have outstanding talents, and thirdly have the courage to fight and dare to do what they do. Therefore, they always act fiercely and dare to do things that others dare not do, so that they often stand out from the crowd during their term of office.

Chen, leading others...he even got a nickname for this, called Baima Ban!

Everyone in the world knows this. Since Fei Shang brought his whole family to the investment, how could he not understand? In fact, even the Pang brothers who have won the favor of Yutaka Makita, another Yizhou man in the north, also want to become white horses in the future.

A member of the class!

"May I ask you, how is the people of Shu?"

"It's quite shaky, otherwise I wouldn't be here."

"That's true... I'll take the trouble to check some more military information and see if there are any sudden changes... Who is the guard general of Baishui Pass?"

"Zhang Ren."

"Yes, it is this person! But we have always been curious about why this person lives here. Is there any explanation?"

"This man is a native of Shu County, and I am not very familiar with him. I only heard that he comes from a poor family and has little courage and integrity. He was promoted by Zhao Fujun when he was the prefect of Shu County. He is now a Sima of another department."

"So it turns out that he is just a nobody... So who is in charge of Jiameng City now?"

"General Yan Yan was quickly transferred from Jiangzhou. He was supposed to be stationed in Ba County. However, because a Sima named Yang Hong in Jianwei County rebelled... er, raised troops to echo Duke Yan, so General Zhao Wei had to be temporarily mobilized.

When the army went south to put down the rebellion, Yan Yan was asked to temporarily take charge and take charge of the overall situation."

"This is exactly what we know."

"Zhao Wei, Yan Yan is recognized as a general in Shu... Then I dare to ask, who is currently stationed in Bajun?"

"It should be Liu Huang and Leng Bao, two captains, each guarding a river."

"I would like to interrupt and ask you, have you recruited any banzhen barbarians in Shu?"

"Of course I want to recruit people. What I said before coming here is that when Zhao Wei returns to Jiameng, he will ask General Yan Yan to go to Ba County to recruit as many people as possible..."

"This is urgent, why not recruit as soon as possible?"

"To be honest with you, as far as I know, Mianzhu's treasury is currently slightly insufficient. Although the Banzhen barbarians have always been loyal to the Han Dynasty and have the tradition of being restrained by the Bajun prefect in sending troops, they also need money, silk, and rewards in food and grass, so they still need money.

It will take a while to make some arrangements."

"I see... But why is Mianzhu's treasury insufficient? Everyone in the world knows how fertile the land of Shu is."

"Well……"

"This question from Dezu is really ridiculous!" Just when Fei Shang was about to explain something to the other party, another young officer from Qianshi, who had been very active before, suddenly raised his voice in a high-pitched voice.

During the rebellion, Ma Xiang came to Shu as the emperor and became a state shepherd. It took less than nine years, barely eight years... In eight years, first the Yellow Turbans and Ma Xiang's rebellion were quelled; after the rebellion was suppressed, there was Dong Zhuo's rebellion.

Long and Ren Qi responded to Zhao Situ and raised an army, so they spent another year or two killing Jia Long and Ren Qi; then Zhang Taishou isolated Hanzhong, and then built chariots. After our Duke Yan destroyed Dong Zhuo and settled Yuan Shao

He just followed Ansheng there... Counting the time, he fought four wars in eight years, but he didn't expand at all. Instead, he lost the important area of ​​Hanzhong! Four years after Ansheng's life, Liu Yan was the leader.

It has become old and decayed, its administration is ridiculous, its furnishings are extravagant, and its superstition is deep. During this period, there was neither farming, nor farming, nor equalization of land. It was just looting and occupation, and the treasury was sufficient.

?Didn’t I serve as a people-friendly official? How come I’m still so ignorant?!”

Yang Xiu, who joined the army, was stunned into silence for a while.

"If you ask me, Liu Yan is not a hero, he is called a mediocre animal..." When Fazheng saw Yang Xiu who had just arrived in Hanzhong, he was suppressed by his power, just like drinking a bowl of cold water from a deep well in summer.

The town is as happy as honey water, and I almost feel happy.

"How can it be that in matters of filial piety, loyalty, and sincerity, there is only one person in your eyes?"

At this moment, Yang Dezu suddenly spoke, but with just one sentence, Fazheng's face turned red.

Fei Shang was a little stunned when he said this without any beginning or end, but as Guo Jia, who was sitting upright on the captain's chair, waved his hand, he hurriedly left with full of doubts and went out to find the Pang brothers.

.

"Filial piety, what's the point?"

It was difficult for Fei Shang to ask questions, and the others did not dare to say anything because Guo Jia and Zhao Yun were sitting on top. However, a stranger in the hall who did not even have an official seal had no scruples and directly held his sword and asked.

, seems to be very familiar with the owner of this place, the new Hanzhong Prefect Guo Jia, but it is Xu Shu Yuanzhi who was invited by Guo Fengxiao as soon as he returned home to see his mother.

"Without him."

Guo Jia was naturally open and honest with Xu Shu. He immediately responded with a solemn expression and told him sincerely. "The military commander on the left is called Fa Zheng Fa Xiaozhi. He has been in Hanzhong for two months. He has been advocating a feint attack on Baishui Pass on the middle road, Jiameng City on the east road, and a false attack on Jiameng City on the east road.

Bajun Erjiang also feigned an attack, and then gathered 10,000 elites to set off from Yinping Road in Wudu, sneaked across Motianling, crossed Baishui Pass, Jiameng City, and went straight to Mianzhu, Chengdu..."

Xu Shu's expression turned slightly strange.

"The commander of the other department on the right is called Meng Da. He has been here with Fa Xiaozhi for two months, but he has different opinions. He means that Baishui Pass is dangerous and should be used as a suspect, and Motian Ridge is too dangerous and should not be used.

, we should attack Bajun mainly, bribe the local barbarians and big families, and break the situation from there." Guo Fengxiao still looked serious and serious.

And Xu Shu's expression became increasingly weird.

"As for Yang Dezu and Yang Canjun who came here with you today... you should have been familiar with him for a long time. He had just arrived for only two quarters of an hour, but he actually had a plan. He thought he would leave Baishui Pass and go to Jiameng.

, set up a thunderbolt chariot, calmly break through the barriers and enter Shu, so as to achieve the general trend. You should not take a dangerous road and lose your master in vain." Guo Jia finished the introduction in one breath and then went to see Xu Shu. "What do Yuan Zhi think?"

Xu Shu was about to speak but stopped.

"Yuanzhi, tell me, your qualifications and achievements are much better than theirs!" Guo Jia sincerely advised. "Show me the sword that Duke Yan gave you, and they will promise not to say anything nonsense. Moreover, you are

The hero who captured and killed Zhou Yu will probably become a high-grade marquis who has sealed thousands of households in a few months, and they will not be able to catch up with you for half their lives."

Fazheng and others were stunned, and then instinctively looked at the opponent's waist. Even Zhao Yun, who had been sitting with Guo Jia but did not speak the whole time, also hesitated slightly and couldn't help but look at the opponent's figure.

When Xu Shu heard this, he sneered, and then squinted at his friend: "I didn't know that I was so powerful. Dare I ask Mr. Guo, if he has the same qualifications and achievements as me, how could he say vulgar words here?"

Guo Jia looked serious: "This is the main hall of a county, where affairs are discussed. How can you say vulgar words?"

"Then I have nothing to say." Xu Yuanzhi immediately responded with a solemn expression.

Fazheng, Yang Xiu, and Meng Da looked at each other in confusion. Yang Xiu was thoughtful, probably because of old friendships, so he didn't get angry. Only Fazheng had the most intense personality. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he mustered up the courage to move forward.

Question: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Yuanzhi was famous for slaying the dragon in the field, and he only supported the wind and rectified the law. Do you dare to ask me, the strategies of the three of us are of no use at all, and are they only worth vulgar words?"

Xu Shu instinctively wanted to explain, but when he saw the other party looking like this, he thought of the aura of the lake and the sea when he was just doing things, so he simply smiled and asked directly: "I dare to ask Fa Sima, what is the contradiction between the strategies of the three of you?

Where does it go? Why does it have to be either one or the other? The army is attacking Shu, the road is narrow and there are many soldiers, why can't we go out in three directions? Do we have to appoint you as my assistant and me as your blessing?"

Fazheng was extremely embarrassed and ashamed for a moment. Even Yang Dezu was a little embarrassed.

Seeing such a situation, Zhao Yun, the champion general who had been silent until now, understood in his heart, but he suddenly stood up, bowed slightly to Guo Jia and Xu Shu, and then left.

But after Zhao Yun left, Guo Jia showed his true nature. He threw away a bunch of middle-level officials in the hall, dragged his friend Xu Shu out of the front hall of his county mansion, turned to the backyard, and shouted along the way to prepare wine and food... for a while.

, only Fazheng, Yang Xiu and others stayed in the hall and looked at each other.

Not to mention how Fazheng and Meng Da will take care of Yang Dezu, on the other hand, Guo Fengxiao is well prepared, and he doesn’t know if there are wine and food in the house every day. Therefore, within a quarter of an hour, Guo and Xu are already having a peach blossom in the backyard.

A banquet was laid out under the tree, wine was served, and we reminisced about old times.

And what kind of friendship do the two have?

Now that we are at the banquet, we can't stop talking... starting from the old story of how Guan Yunchang rectified the big families in Xuzhou when we left, and then talked about how the Grand Sima and the Grand Governor Lu Ziheng returned to their hometown in fine clothes and entered the hometown of Xiyang in Runan to hold a "Hundred Duck Banquet".

The unbelievable things that came out after the Han Emperor entered Jiangxia were also discussed, whether it was good or bad that Tai Shici had recently become the Mu of Pingzhou, and even Wang Shuzhi, the famous Prime Minister of Ye, married the Cai family, and the second daughter of Duke Yan married a student of Yexia University.

The rumors about the marriage were really talked about.

However, most of these old news are things that have been discussed in a bad way. After talking about it, we still can't help but come back to the current issue of conquering Shu.

At this time, Guo Fengxiao, who had become a serious member of Liangqianshi, took advantage of the situation to explain the reasons for some things in the hall just now:

"Yuan Zhi didn't know that the reason why Fa Xiaozhi wanted to go to Yinping and sneak across Motianling was because he wanted to imitate the champion general's plan of sneaking across Di Road and crossing Wushan Mountain. But it was not because he wanted to do what the champion general wanted. It was because he wanted to take advantage of him.

Yinping must send troops from Wudu to the Guanghan vassal state first, and since he wants to send troops from Wudu, he must involve the Wugan Zhonglang general who is stationed in Wudu... He is too utilitarian and wants to attack the Wugan Zhonglang general.

Take credit and sell well!”
