late han empire

The recovery of Hanzhong is equivalent to the closure of the passage back to Yizhou.

Liu Bei's army, which had already entered Liangzhou and occupied three small towns, became a lone army.Moreover, it is still a lone army that goes deep into the enemy's territory.

Even people who don't know the art of war know that such an army is going to be in trouble.

It's just that Liu Bei really has no way out?In fact, they still have a small road from Qinghai.I don't deny that this road is a bit difficult to walk, and it is also a bit wild, but he can let everyone go back to Shu.

It is precisely because of the existence of this road that Liu Bei actually hoarded some supplies here when he attacked Liangzhou. On the one hand, it was convenient for supplies, and on the other hand, it was to avoid the fall of Hanzhong.

At this moment, Liu Beijun has no fear of losing his back at all.On the contrary, when he realized that Liu Ming was consciously shrinking his line of defense, he opened his mouth fiercely and ate all the food he could see into his mouth.

Not long after, he had eaten Tianshui and Longxi counties, and turned his wolf's gaze to Jincheng.Perhaps in order to demonstrate his benevolence and righteousness, Liu Bei treated every commoner kindly, and no looting occurred.For the people affected by the disaster, proper treatment made the people feel that Liu Bei was not too difficult to accept.

It's just that everyone overlooked one point, that is, Liu Bei handed over all the dirty work to the Qiang tribe.

These Qiang people, who had an unshakable hatred with the Han people, started the massacre after they came to Liangzhou.They basically killed men, women, old and young wherever they went.At most, women kill later, and kill when they get tired of playing.They looted everything that could be looted, and killed every living creature they could see.

The most depressing thing is that they have guns and cannons, and it is not a problem to attack the city.For a time, towns and cities, large and small, were more or less affected.Only those soldiers from the big counties resisted desperately, and they survived.

After they left, Liu Bei's army followed, playing the role of a good man, to rescue everyone from disasters.As for the looted supplies and wealth, no one knows how Liu Bei will get them back.

But with this method, Liu Bei won the initial recognition of him from the people of Liangzhou, not to mention that the aristocratic families behind him are also working hard to promote him.

Liu Ming had expected all of this. The reason why he shrunk his line of defense was, firstly, to avoid damage to his soldiers caused by refueling tactics; His family with several knives was wiped out in one go.

Don't think that he is afraid, his territory has gradually begun to meet this condition.

Originally, this kind of thing is usually done slowly after the reunification, but then the aristocratic family will not be able to lose its tail, and it will occupy too many key departments. It will face big problems to rectify and reform, and there may also be cases of rebellion.

So why not take the lead when the other party has no way to control you?Naturally, the price to be paid would not be less, but the same harvest would not be much worse.Besides, with typical models, it will be much easier to gradually rectify the local aristocratic families when going south.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that Liu Beibo's method of gaining the approval of the people of Liangzhou made his heart ache.

Money can be made again, but population has always been the thing I care about most.He hoped that the Han people could reproduce quickly, and it would be best if they could reproduce 100 billion within ten years.He hopes that the footprints of the Han people will spread to every corner of the world, blossom and spread leaves all over the world, and then establish an ancient history and civilization of the Han people!

The premise of all this is population.

But Liu Bei indirectly killed more than 30 Han people as soon as he came!

30 people, comparable to the number of deaths in Nanjing that year.Why can he have the heart to let the barbarians of other races kill so many compatriots!Could it be said that the great cause of king and hegemony can already make people have no scruples about what kind of price they need to pay? !

How many nights he fell asleep, he would wake up in a nightmare.He seemed to see the wailing and complaints of the people in Liangzhou, and saw their bloody faces.

In the end he made a decision, he wanted to kill Liu Bei, he must be killed!

Three months, this is the time Liu Ming gave to his subordinates, after this time, he will conscript himself! !

Everyone knows that this old man is messing around again, but the generals are very happy that he gave this time. These days they are too aggrieved to avoid it!Moreover, Liu Ming will not take the blame, and they can only bear it. This has already made them very unhappy.

They need to prove to the world how wronged they are, and to prove to the world that they can beat Liu Bei badly!

All resources are beginning to be tilted towards the war in Liangzhou, which will naturally delay the receiving work of Yanzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou.But it doesn't matter, since it has already been eaten in the mouth, it is acceptable to slow down.

"It seems that they are going to marry us!" It's not that Liu Bei doesn't have an intelligence system, and a large part of his intelligence system on Liu Ming's side is those families who are dissatisfied with Liu Ming.

"This is what we hoped for." Pang Tong said with a smile on the side.

Yes, the one who was finally arrested in Jiangling was still a fake.It's just that the counterfeit has just entered the prison, and no one has come to identify him. Besides, the acting skills of the counterfeit are similar to those of real people, so Liu Ming hasn't discovered this yet.

But the prison is a systematic building, and the speed at which people's willpower dissipates inside it is very terrifying.Even if he has the consciousness to be a dead soldier, he may not be able to maintain his original intention when his willpower completely collapses.Therefore, the fact that Pang Tong is a fake is estimated to be known soon.

In fact, it can also be seen from this that Guan Yu was able to endure the first torture inside, how terrible his willpower is, it is already an inhuman level existence.I just don't know, this second time, will he still be able to stick to his principles and heart?

"What do Cao Cao and Sun Quan say?" Liu Bei was not worried about Liu Ming's siege, he only cared about the attitude of the other two allies.

"It has been confirmed that they will join the battle as soon as we launch an attack. But is it really okay to give up Jiangling and Jiangxia to Cao Cao?" Pang Tong asked cautiously.

"Since Cao Cao can give up Yanzhou and Yuzhou so easily, why can't I give up Jiangling and Jiangxia? When he leads the army north to fight Liu Ming, we will come back by the way, but we must do well in Jingnan these days." work, saving us from spending too much money." Liu Bei smiled.

"This subordinate understands...according to the progress of the enemy army, they will attack us in about five days. Do you want to leave early?" Pang Tong bowed his hands and asked immediately.

"Well, let them prepare. After three days, they will retreat across the board and fight wherever they can. Liu Ming's methods are not weak, otherwise we will be able to take down the Silk Road." Liu Bei sighed.

Originally, his ultimate goal was to obtain the cornucopia of Silk Road.It's just a pity that Liu Ming's war methods are various and changeable, and they still firmly suppress his pace.Helpless, I can only go here first.

"By the way, tell Feng'er to prepare, it's almost time to collect the net!" Liu Bei turned around and gave another order when he was about to leave.

Yes, those Qiang people who pioneered for him and made him initially recognized by the people of Liangzhou, their mission has been completed.Now that it's done, there's no need for them to exist.

To be honest, Liu Bei was also very upset with these Qiang people.

Five days later, when Liu Ming's army marched to Liangzhou in mighty force and besieged Liu Bei from all directions, it was discovered that those who were fighting were only scattered soldiers and empty camps that had been left on purpose.The main force had long since disappeared. After careful investigation, it was discovered that they had quietly left Liangzhou and returned to the land of Bashu.

At the same time, Cao Cao launched an attack against Jiangling and Jiangxia for the second time, and at the same time, Sun Quan and his fellow attacked.As for Liu Bei's main force, it appeared again at the pass between Hanzhong and Bashu.

At this moment, the three parties formed a truly huge alliance.And Liu Ming finally realized how painful it is to fight three powerful princes at the same time.

Pain is meaningless, so he asked Zhang Liao to guard Jingzhou; at the same time, Ma Chao and Hua Xiong from Xuzhou began to enter the Huainan area to defend; Zhao Yun rushed to Hanzhong to defend, while Huang Zhong and Zhang Fei rushed towards the Jiangxia area. They are the real main attacking force.

This does not mean that other troops will not attack, Liu Ming gave them the privilege to act according to circumstances.As long as they are confident enough, they can attack freely.

A huge defensive battle started like this.
