The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought Lu Qiling and Mi Zhen along.

It was more cumbersome when I came, but there were not so many things to prepare when I went back.

After deciding to return, many things don't need to be taken away, they must be left here for the soldiers guarding Kyushu Island.

The only person who wants to take Liu Zheng away is Queen Himiko whom she met on this island.

He is Liu Zheng's only gain from coming to Kyushu Island.

And Liu Zheng has already asked Queen Himiko before, and she also intends to go to Huaxia to take a look.

Now that he has decided to return, Liu Zheng still needs to consult Himiko again.

Although this is just a process, even if Himiko is unwilling to go, Liu Zheng will definitely take her there.

After asking Himiko, Himiko also expressed his intention to go back and forth.

Then Liu Zheng didn't stay on Kyushu Island for a moment.

When they came, dozens of ships were mighty.

When we went back, there were only a few ships left.

The rest were left by him on Kyushu Island for Jiang Qin, Zu Lang and others to use.

A few days later, Liu Zheng returned to Jianye City with his own people.

Although Liu Zheng's stay on Kyushu Island seemed to be very long, in fact it was only three months.

He went there in September, and it was only early December when he came back.

This short period of three months is not long.

Everything in the entire territory is functioning normally.

None of the things that worried Liu Zheng happened.

After he returned to the palace, he first met his concubines one by one to save them from worrying.

Later, it was convenient to meet Yuan Zhou.Let Yuan Zhou report some things that have happened since he left recently.

In fact, Yuan Zhou already knew that Liu Zheng would return at this time roughly a few days in advance, so he had already prepared some things he wanted to say.

When Liu Zheng asked, he immediately explained to Liu Zheng, but what Liu Zheng asked most was naturally about some things about Liu Bei.

Regarding these issues, Yuan Zhou had long been prepared. Over the past few months, his spies had spread densely throughout the entire area of ​​the Han Dynasty, and even the slightest disturbance could not escape his eyes and ears.

So when Liu Zheng asked, he could quickly answer some things Liu Zheng wanted to know.

Of course, these things are nothing more than about Hanzhong.

Hanzhong, taken from the meaning of Hanshui.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, after the overlord Xiang Yu destroyed Qin, he divided up the feudal lords, and Liu Bang was named the King of Han. The capital city was Nanzheng, and Hanzhong, Ba, and Shu were under his jurisdiction.

Later, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed for the world, and finally Liu Bang ruled the world, and finally established the tripod. The origin of the Han Dynasty is also the same.

Therefore, the city of Hanzhong was actually a prosperous place for the Han Dynasty.

In history, Liu Bei also proclaimed himself king in Hanzhong, established himself as the king of Hanzhong, and then gradually confronted Cao Wei.

The battle of Hanzhong was also the peak battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

And now Liu Bei's goal is to capture Hanzhong. It was also Liu Bei's peak moment. His new five tiger generals were all transferred here by Liu Bei. You can also go to Jingzhou, just take it directly.

Hanzhong is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The reason why it is easy to defend and difficult to attack is that the major towns connected to the surrounding area are relatively far away. When soldiers and horses come, the journey is long and the transportation of food and grass is inconvenient. Second, it is difficult to reinforce.

If you want to take down Hanzhong, you must either mobilize the strength of the whole army and try your best to fight, or plan a strategy, slowly transport soldiers and horses, and use time to kill the defense of the city of Hanzhong.

And Liu Bei obviously didn't have time, so he slowly moved around Hanzhong and encroached on Hanzhong. All he had to do was to get through Hanzhong, and then use Hanzhong as a springboard to regain Yizhou.

Yuan Zhou told Liu Zheng about these things and Liu Bei's recent military developments.

After Liu Zheng learned about these things, he also understood what Liu Bei was thinking.

"It seems that Liu Bei has always been obsessed with Yizhou."

"Your Majesty, why does Liu Bei never forget Yizhou?"

Yuan Zhou knew a lot about Liu Bei, but only after Liu Bei's rise, did he gradually understand some things about Liu Bei, but Liu Zheng was different.

Liu Zheng's understanding of Liu Bei is not only some things that Liu Bei has shown now, but also some things that Liu Bei gradually understood after being studied by many people.

He looked at Yuan Zhou, thought for a while, and then began to ask Yuan Zhou.

"Aiqing, do you know Liu Bei?"

When Liu Zheng asked, Yuan Zhou was taken aback when he heard Liu Zheng's words, but he still thought about it and continued to answer Liu Zheng.

"Understand a little bit, Liu Bei is a great enemy of our army, and his heart is deeply troubled. Our spies have investigated him a lot and collected a lot of information about him."

"Then you should know that he is from Zhuojun, Youzhou."

"Well, Liu Bei and his two sworn brothers are all from Youzhou. He is the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, and he can be regarded as a descendant of the royal family. I heard that he is also the emperor's uncle of the Han Emperor."

Liu Zheng listened to Yuan Zhou talking about his understanding of Liu Bei, but what he said was some not-so-detailed information, some information about Liu Bei that Yuan Zhou learned from other people's mouths.

Knowing, naturally not as detailed as Liu Zheng.

So Liu Zheng immediately told Yuan Zhou some things about Liu Bei in detail.

"Having learned so much, who do you think Liu Bei is?"

"Should be a benevolent person."

Yuan Zhou told Liu Zheng what he understood.

But Liu Zheng shook his head.

"He shouldn't be able to talk about benevolence and righteousness. It's just that he can pretend. If he pretends for a lifetime, he can actually do a fake show."

"Liu Bei is indeed the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. However, when the more than 100 sons of King Jing of Zhongshan are passed down to Liu Bei's generation, basically, there is nothing that the family can bring to Liu Bei. He can have today, relying entirely on It's me."

Chapter 937 It's Liu Bei's Hand

Speaking of Liu Bei, Liu Zheng couldn't help but think of something he had learned.

In fact, the description of Liu Bei's life experience in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms is not particularly detailed, only a few short sentences: the first master is generous, he knows people and treats scholars, he has the style of a great ancestor, and he is a hero.

The author, Chen Shou, used to be an official in the Shu Han Dynasty, and he can be regarded as an official of Liu Bei. He has some old feelings for Liu Bei, so he praised Liu Bei and portrayed Liu Bei as a poor family, weaving mats and selling shoes, facing adversity, but with great ambitions. It is also understandable for the motivated and good young people.

But if you refer to some other annotations, you can know that there are some subversive things in it.

Liu Bei lost his father and grew up with his mother.Before his death, his father was just a small official in the county, and he could not bring much surplus money to Liu Bei's family.

However, although Liu Bei's biological father died early, the clan power of the Liu family is very impressive in the local area.

One is that Liu Bei's identity is the descendant of the royal family after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. Liu Sheng is a figure from the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is from the Eastern Han Dynasty. There is a difference of hundreds of years.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Liu family's impression in the local area is deeply rooted. Although Liu Bei lost his father, but with the power of the clan, Liu Bei could not be poor when he was young.

This can be seen from the fact that Liu Bei was able to follow Gongsun Zan and fellow clan Liu Deran to learn from Lu Zhi when he was a teenager.

If there is no power, it is impossible to worship under Lu Zhi's sect.

And through some deeds of Gongsun Zan, it can be found that the place where Gongsun Zan studied was Luoyang. It can be known that when Liu Bei was young, he was in Luoyang with Gongsun Zan and studied under Lu Zhi.

Not to mention how far it is from Zhuoxian County in Youzhou to Luoyang. It is a huge expense for a teenager who has no income and relies entirely on financial support from his family to study abroad.

If Liu Bei was poor when he was young, it would be impossible for the so-called mat weavers and shoe sellers to afford the cost of his study tour in Luoyang.

Based on the background at that time, it was as difficult as the villagers in the modern Shangougou to travel to the capital to study.

Since Liu Bei traveled thousands of miles from Youzhou to Luoyang to study, he still found the famous Confucian Lu Zhi as his teacher at that time. He should learn a lot and become a generation of famous scholars.

Hey, really not, Liu Bei should be a scumbag.

Liu Bei didn't study hard in Luoyang. He should be like those rich kids in the later generations. He didn't do business and picked up girls every day in nightclubs. However, there should be no nightclubs in Luoyang at that time. Liu Bei probably could only fight chickens and dogs every day and stay in brothels.

This point can also be seen from Gongsun Zan, who was studying together in Luoyang at that time. Both Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are recorded in the history books.

Following a teacher like Lu Zhi, but learning at this level, no matter how you look at it, it is an embarrassment to the teacher.

The rich second generation's money is not unlimited, and it is all given by the family. After Liu Bei and his cousin Liu Deran lived happily in Luoyang for a few years, they should have almost used up their money, so they still have to go home.

Liu Bei, who returned to his hometown in Zhuoxian County, should have grown up. In his weak crown, he almost had to start making a living by himself. It was impossible for the clan to shelter and sponsor him for a lifetime.

During the few years of his study tour in Luoyang, Liu Bei was used to the life of feasting and feasting, and he made many rich and powerful friends.

In the age of Huanling, local order collapsed, cults spread, and thieves abounded. At this time, there were less than three years left before the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

In order to maintain local law and order, many areas spontaneously established or hired refugee armed forces, similar to the regiment training of later generations.

This thing was called "jun thieves" in the Eastern Han Dynasty; it was called "security regiment" in the Republic of China, referring to the bandit group that collected protection fees by selling force.

After Liu Bei returned to his hometown in Zhuo County, he began to recruit disciples and form illegal armed groups under the name of himself as a student traveling in Luoyang, relying on the general environment of poor information and low education level of the people at that time.

The two brothers who are highly regarded by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, should have joined Liu Bei's club at this time.

This point can be verified from Guan Yu. Guan Yu was not from Youzhou, he was from Jiexian County, Hedong. He came to Zhuoxian County, Youzhou because he committed a crime in his hometown and fled his life.

To understand it with modern people's thinking is that he committed a crime in his hometown and ran to Youzhou. He saw that Liu Bei was recruiting horsemen in this club. Mixed into the position of one of the club's big brothers.

With the territory and manpower, Liu Bei can also be said to have no worries about food and drink, and the only thing to worry about is the issue of identity.

So his club wants to wash white, from black to white, it is very simple, that is military merit.

It just so happened that Zhang Jiao, the unlucky guy, actually started an uprising, and there were several yellow turban bandits in Youzhou, so Liu Bei took his own troops and started the campaign to exterminate the yellow turban bandits.

When Liu Bei wiped out the Yellow Turban Army, it was Liu Yan who served as the governor of Youzhou at this time.

In the early days, Liu Bei did not make any progress in Youzhou, and even many military achievements were deducted by Liu Yan. Because Liu Yan felt that Liu Bei had a problem with his identity, Liu Bei went to Jizhou to join his teacher Lu Zhi.

They also forged beams at this time.

Later, Liu Bei always held a grudge against Liu Yan because of this incident, but he never found a chance to take revenge.

Liu Bei, who is now powerful, has finally found a chance, so how can he not get back this face.

The purpose of gathering soldiers and horses is to defeat Liu Yan in one fell swoop, so as to make Liu Bei feel ashamed.

Liu Zheng told Yuan Zhou some of his understanding of Liu Bei.

Only then did Yuan Zhou understand the meaning behind it, and nodded in a sudden realization.

"So, Your Majesty, it's no wonder Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong at this time. After taking Hanzhong, Yizhou is in Liu Bei's pocket."

Yuan Zhou couldn't help but respond to Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng smiled.

"Haha, this is just my own guess. Liu Bei may also have taken a fancy to Yizhou's large land and rich resources. If Yizhou is recovered, it will have a great effect on them and can also be used to contain us. Therefore, Yizhou is very important to Liu Bei."

"Since this is the case, then we can't let Liu Bei get Yizhou. Yuan Zhou, go down and pass me an order immediately!"

Chapter 938 Yuan Shang's Envoy

"Jean, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, immediately go north to attack Shangyong! Sun Jian will take over Jingzhou from them."

Shangyong City, in fact, belongs to Hanzhong and is one of the places in Hanzhong. Hanzhong is very large, with nine counties under its rule and a population of nearly 30.

Moreover, there is no war all year round, and the weather is smooth, which has absorbed many refugees from Jingzhou.

So the population once increased a lot.

Later, Shangyong was separated from Hanzhong County and became an independent county.

Of course, it still belongs to Hanzhong now.

After Liu Zheng occupied Jingzhou before, he did not let his soldiers continue to pursue the victory.

Just let them stick to Jingzhou and prevent the attacks of other forces.

After all, the north of Jingzhou is Yuzhou, which is connected to the capital, and it is also a place heavily guarded by the imperial court.

Hanzhong County on the left is also an undivided place, guarded by Zhang Lu of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

Compared with other places, Hanzhong, guarded by Zhang Lu, is a more troublesome place.

Because other places are at best some warlords, some soldiers and horses under the rule of warlords.And Zhang Lu, this guy, is the unity of politics and religion.

On the one hand, it uses the religious power of the Five Dou Rice Religion to manage the people under its rule, and on the other hand, it has enough troops to guard all parts of Hanzhong at this time.
