Chapter 362 The Rise of Meng Huo
Shu is a legendary place. Zhuge Liang stayed in Shu County. He has already communicated with Liu Bei, and he is very supportive of Liu Bei's decision to move the government to Chang'an!

The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the gentleman dies in the community. This sentence has not been uttered yet, but everyone agrees with this idea very much. Like the Guanzhong of Qin State back then, Xianyang City had no city walls.

That kind of contemptuous look at the world, I'm right here, with the domineering aura that has the ability to attack straight into the sky!

"With Chang'an, maybe!" Zhuge Liang, who had just reached the golden age of his life, looked at the direction of the Central Plains with burning eyes.
Before he came out of the mountains, Zhuge Liang compared himself to Guan Zhongleyi, but now that he has governed the land of Liangchuan, it really proves this sentence. He is in Shu County, and in the land of Liangchuan, Zhuge Liang is responsible for everything, big or small. It's a matter of words.

Although the people of Liangchuan feel that the punishment is heavier than before, after getting used to it, their life is really much richer than before. It coincides with the years of ripening, the people are really filling their stomachs, and the people eat If you serve food, you will not rebel casually, so the people are in Anshun, and the treasuries of counties and counties at all levels are abundant.

Even if it supplies the Northern Expedition, there is still some surplus.

At the end of the Chang'an War, Zhang Fei defeated a large army in Jiangdong in Shangyong and stabilized the situation in Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang also used tactics to defeat Sun Quan's navy in the upper reaches of the Han River. The forces have won victories against their two biggest opponents in a short period of time.

After that, Zhuge Liang wrote to Liu Bei, expressing the need to maintain the ally relationship with Sun Quan, and also stated a lot of great things, and finally Liu Bei adopted this decision!

After Liu Bei won the battle, he took the initiative to show kindness, which made Sun Quan feel at ease. He was safe for the time being, but he was even more afraid of Liu Bei.

Yizhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This time, even with the strongest navy in the world, there is no way to break Shu County from the inside. Sun Quan knows that if he wants to take Shu, he will not be able to do it in a short time!
So Sun Quan simply agreed, and soon expressed that he would unite with Liu Bei to deal with Cao Cao again. He brought up the false surrender plan that had been completely lost before, and began to put it on the agenda!
Just when everyone felt that as long as they cultivated and thrived and waited for the right time to expand the results of the Northern Expedition again, Liu Bei's backyard caught fire!
Meng Huo, the barbarian king, raises a hundred thousand soldiers and invades the country!

Successive victories in foreign wars made the people of Yizhou rejoice, but they focused on foreign wars and guarding the base camp of Shu County, but neglected some things.

The real leader of the southern barbarians appeared, calling himself the barbarian king.

I don't know whether this person is Yi or Han, but he knows Chinese characters, can speak Sinicization, and has a great reputation in Nanzhong.

Taking advantage of Shu County, he put most of his energy into the Northern Expedition and defending against Sun Quan, ignoring the period in the rear, and decisively chose to bring many followers of him and some forces who were defeated by Liu Bei's forces and chose to hide, and united into a huge force. The power soon became stronger and stronger in the local area. Finally, when Meng Huo felt that the time was almost right, he decisively started the war!

There is an army, but there is no food, no need for life, and no desire to produce, so what else can we do? Of course, there is only one word and that is to rob!

Meng Huo was brave, but his strategy was a bit weak. He also knew what he was good at, so he joined forces with Yong Kai, the prefect of Jianning County, to rebel. When the two gathered together, they created a huge momentum at the beginning of the rebellion.

All these years, these people have been dormant. They know that Liu Bei has been winning, but there is a saying that is true, calling the Emperor Shangao far away. Let alone whether Liu Bei can bring the army back to suppress the rebellion, even if he brings it back, relying on Nanzhong The barren land is far away and the sky is dangerous. I am confident that even if I am defeated in the end, I can delay Liu Bei's retreat without food!
It was this kind of mentality that made Meng Huo and Yong Kai hit it off, and once the idea of ​​​​separating one side came out, they couldn't restrain it anymore.

In the beginning, indeed, when the city was attacked and the stronghold was pulled out, no one would have thought that there would be a rebellion in the southern part of Yizhou, which had been stable for a long time!

But Meng Huo and others soon got a piece of news that made them restless, that Zhuge Liang had actually conscripted himself!

As Liu Bei's Xiao He, Zhuge Liang had an overview of the overall situation in Shu County. He showed his talents more comprehensively than his previous position as a military adviser, and he did a good job. The people in the middle of Shu were more supportive of him. If he wants to be self-reliant, let him find some black spots of Zhuge Liang, but he really can't find them. The only thing he can complain about is probably the strict law enforced in Yizhou!

"No matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, he still has three heads and six arms!" Meng Huo was brave. Seeing his subordinates' distraught appearance after hearing about Zhuge Liang's personal conquest, he felt angry and encouraged him with a big victory.

"Brother, we now claim to have 20 people, but the actual total is only [-], including those small tribes that depend on us. It is almost impossible to expect these people to fight for us, and at most they can only make up for it, so we. ..." The one who spoke was Meng Huo's brother, Meng You. Meng You is good at fighting, but he is not particularly proficient in strategy. He really regards Meng Huo as an idol.

Meng Huo said he wanted to raise an army, and he supported it without saying a word. But when things got to this point, he was not stupid. He analyzed the situation calmly. Although his words were straightforward and unpleasant, they were indeed a fact!
Meng Huo knew these words, but it was obvious that he couldn't listen to them at the moment, so he chose to wave Meng You to shut up, and then looked at his allies: "Master Yong, we are already on the verge of riding a tiger. Trick to teach me!?"

The reason why Yong Kai chose Meng Huo as an ally was nothing more than Meng Huo's great prestige and the soldiers in his hands. The most important thing was that Meng Huo had little scheming and courage. It is an excellent ally to sell and strengthen himself, so he, who has always been ambitious, agreed immediately.

Yong Kai: "Your Majesty, don't worry. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. It depends on how determined Zhuge Liang is. We will act according to the situation. If we can fight, we will fight. If we can't, we will wait for the opportunity to retreat and preserve our strength!"

"It's like you didn't say anything!" Meng You is a straight-hearted person. When he saw what Yong Kai said, he couldn't hide it in his heart, so he said it out of his heart. "Meng You!" Meng Huo raised his voice. For Meng Huo, who wanted to separate himself from Nanzhong and become king, Yong Kai was the one he needed to rely on, and he really couldn't support him for too long.

"Lord Yong, we are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Please forgive my brother for offending me. He just wants to solve the problem and is just a little anxious!" Meng Huo's words showed some measure!
