Yi Ji rushed forward like a flying man, but it was in early January of the fourth year of Chuping (193) that he arrived in Chengdu to negotiate with Liu Biao for foreign affairs and meet with the King of Hanzhong.

He even spent New Year's Eve on the Three Gorges boats. At that time, he gave the boatman and the boatman a total of two golden cakes. The coolies agreed to work overtime to pull him through Qutang Gorge on New Year's Eve.

When I arrived in Chengdu, it was already January 5th.

Fortunately, the King of Hanzhong was still so polite and polite. Although he was still in a state of "recovering from injuries", he immediately arranged for the right general Li Su, who is actually in charge of Yizhou affairs, to receive Yi Ji.

The meeting between the two sides was held in the palace north of Chengdu City. (This time Liu Bei’s Hanzhong Palace was located in Nanzheng, so Chengdu is considered a palace. Although the future construction scale and luxury of the Chengdu Palace will not be worse than that of Nanzheng.)

However, Yi Ji's idle trip and Liu Biao's self-inflicted humiliation were obviously destined, so the meeting between Li Su and Yi Ji is actually not good.

As soon as the two sides met, Yi Ji first conveyed Liu Biao's appeal very sincerely: "The Right General, last month, King Hanzhong sent Zhao Fubo to station troops in Changsha to take over the area actually controlled by Sun Polu's former officials, and also stated that Zhao Fubo also served as the prefect of Changsha. Is it too much? Our lord Liu Jing was promoted to the governor of Jingzhou, and the nine counties in Jingzhou have become in trouble, so he should submit the imperial appointment."

Li Su had obviously grasped the whole situation in advance, so he smiled leisurely and said, "The King of Hanzhong was also invited by Sun Polu. I heard that the situation in Changsha was critical, and the remnants of the rebels of that year rushed out of Luoxiao Mountain to disturb the place. In order to save the people as soon as possible, I was urgently following the power.

Besides, I heard that Sun Polu could not collect taxes, money and grain due to Changsha's nuisance. He once hoped that the princes would sponsor him a sum of money and grain to make up for his Changsha's tax poor harvest so that he could continue to provide supplies for the court to pacify Yangzhou. Has he not found Liu Jingzhou? Why did Liu Jingzhou not give Sun Polu some support for everyone to challenge Dong and Li Guo's allies?"

One thing we must say here: Sun Jian has actually been selling both sides of the mind, so that Liu Bei and Liu Biao can win those who bid higher. But he also knows that he should not have too early contact with Liu Biao, because Liu Biao holds a reputation in his hand. If Liu Biao doesn't buy it after the leak, he can use other methods to stumbling.

So Sun Jian first talked with Liu Bei. After the deal was completed, he went to Liu Biao's place to inquire about the price. After finding that the price was not suitable, he would grab the time to officially trade with Liu Bei immediately.

In other words, Sun Jian and Liu Biao started after Zhou Yu first contacted Li Su and returned to Sun Jian. And when he finally decided to trade with Liu Bei, Sun Jian also honestly sold the news that he had "had been in contact with Liu Biao" to Li Su.

Sun Jian even said that the envoy he sent to negotiate with Liu Biao was an exiled northern scholar named Zhang Zhao. The Zhang Zhao brothers fled from south of Xuzhou to Huainan to surrender to Sun Jian just this year because of the Xuzhou Rebellion and Cao Cao killed Tao Qian.

Only then did Li Su be so sure that he used this to snatch Yi Ji.

If Li Su said "Sun Jian is selling Changsha", it would be too ugly. Both the buyer and the seller have a bad reputation. However, because the transaction amount is not large, Li Su cut it to a 30% discount. The final delivery did not exceed the annual tax, money and grain of Changsha County. Moreover, outsiders such as Liu Biao, Yi Ji could not know how much Liu Bei gave it.

Therefore, Li Su said that it was "to make up for the less taxes collected this year after Sun Jian gave up Changsha, so as to ensure that Sun Jian's military ration supply to quell the Yangzhou rebellion for the country."

This is not a transaction, but a turnaround when people are out of food, and they will be able to get things done. They will be confident when they say it.

Yi Ji really had to admit that Sun Jian had indeed found Liu Biao, but Liu Biao refused to bid: "This matter... Sun Polu did find our envoy. But this has nothing to do with today's affairs, right? Today, what I said was privately granted the imperial court and county."

Li Su: "It was not a private delegation to the court and county, but it was "Sun Polu who found a more righteous and responsible ally in the alliance to help him pacify his old place." He made such a decision because Liu Jingzhou was not responsible.

And to be honest, as far as I know, Liu Jingzhou’s recent performance is indeed not very responsible - how could he take advantage of others' danger and discuss with Li Jue and Guo Si, and use the name of the court to deal with allies in the fight against the thief? Is this what a gentleman does?"

Yi Ji was anxious and hurriedly left out: "My lord is looking for Huangfu Cheqi, Yang Taiwei and Ma Taichang, not Li Jue Guo Si, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao did the same."

Li Su smiled: "It was still early for the second Yuan and Cao Cao to do that. It was in July and August last year. It can be said that he didn't see the situation clearly for a while and was temporarily deceived by Li Guo's pretending to be humble. But your master did this in the twelfth month of last year, so he had to be said to be stupid or had ulterior motives. Li Guo had already pulled off the fig leaf. At the end of November last year, he took off Huangfu Song's chariot and cavalry general and changed to the position of Taiwei. Yang Taiwei and Ma Taichang were also demoted one after another. That was the three chess pieces they used to deceive the princes of Guandong, and they threw them away after they were used up!

Now, do you still dare to say that the Chang'an court's life was the original intention of the emperor? Fortunately, at their most deceptive moment, the King of Hanzhong and Sun Polu remained alert and never fell into their trap! If we were like Liu Jingzhou or had ulterior motives for our own selfish interests, Changsha County would probably be in the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si's confidant."

Yi Ji was indeed shocked when he heard this: "What? Li Jue and Guo Si gave Huangfu Cheqi an openly and secretly, and even demoted Yang Taiwei Ma Taichang? Why don't I know? My lord Liu Jingzhou doesn't know, really."

Li Su asked back: "When did Liu Jingzhou submit a statement to the so-called court? Last November or the beginning of the twelfth lunar month?"

Yiji swallowed and admitted with difficulty: "At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month..."

Li Su spread his hands and said, "Will that be done? When he submitted his letter, Li Jue and Guo Si completely revealed his true face. It has been more than ten days since the news was passed too slowly. At that time, he was still in the dark and submitted a letter to the traitor for nothing.

Our army was the fastest to know about Li Jue and Guo Si, because the King of Hanzhong underwent surgery by the miracle doctor Hua Tuo to treat the sequelae of the arrow wound on his legs in the Battle of Wuzhangyuan last July.

It is also a big blame for our army not to strictly block the news. It was only after hearing that the King of Hanzhong's arrows recurred that Li Jue and Guo Si completely revealed his thief nature, abolished the old ministers of the court, and let Li Jue personally serve as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he was in a position to monopolize the power. Therefore, in order to prevent the truth from being unaware of the truth, we are unwilling to stop Li Guo from scrambling his life and harming the local Mu Shou, who was good at doing bad things, could only cut the mess so quickly to retain more strength for the alliance to fight against the thieves and rebels."

Yi Ji was completely speechless.

Sure enough, Liu Biao tried to use Li Jue and Guo Si's hypocritical period to fight a time difference to suppress Sun Jian, and was completely ruined. He even humiliated himself a little, leaving the name of ignorance of "provoking the traitors".

Who asked Li Jue and Guo Si to "pretend to respect the court" to finish the scene? The joystick is held in Liu Bei's hand?

As soon as Liu Bei pretended that the arrow injury relapsed, Li Jue floated instantly.

In this way, Liu Bei's reputation as "the traitor is afraid of the King of Hanzhong".

Did you see it? The reason why the traitors hid was because the King of Hanzhong was still alive at that time! The King of Hanzhong had some minor disasters and illnesses, and even the traitors were instantly rampant and increased their level by several levels!

Who dares to say that Liu Bei was able to surpass the King of Hanzhong?

Yiji could only completely give up his diplomatic mission.

Li Su also kept him for a banquet and hospitality for a few days, and his etiquette was not bad at all. Liu Bei also pretended to be lying on the hospital bed to meet him once, but he didn't have the energy to talk to Yiji about serious matters and relieve Yiji's inner depression. Then, after Yiji's repeated insistence, he was allowed to go back in a hurry before the Lantern Festival.

Unfortunately, Yi Ji later returned to Xiangyang and did not get Liu Biao's good face.

After learning that the mission had completely failed and humiliated himself, he heard that Yiji was also saying good things for Liu Bei, and Liu Biao was furious and scolded Yiji as he failed in history after sending Han Song to a mission.

However, Yi Ji was Liu Biao's old fellow villager after all, and they were from Shanyang County, Yanzhou, so the intimacy between the two was obviously incomparable to Han Song. Liu Biao could not reveal his tendency to kill Yi Ji and question him for guilt. At most, he would only scold and punish him for his salary, and ordered him not to spread remarks praising Liu Bei in Xiangyang in the future.

Yi Ji was extremely depressed and could only accept punishment obediently and pay attention to his words and deeds.

These are all later stories.

...

Of course, Liu Bei and Li Su didn't have the time to care whether Yi Ji's life would be good after returning to Jingzhou.

After seeing off Yiji, the atmosphere of New Year celebration in Chengdu became stronger and stronger. Everyone in the civil and military camp of Liu Bei’s army knew that Zhao Yun had completely secured Changsha County and could completely isolate Liu Biao and Jingnan’s Lingling, which is currently in autonomous state.

With Zhao Yun there, he was working steadily. In the new year, the King of Hanzhong's imagination of the Jingnan region can be said to be infinite.

The city of Chengdu was decorated with lights and colors, just waiting to celebrate this year's Shangyuan Festival, and the officials and the people celebrated together - who made General Guan Yu, the Zhennan, not return to Chengdu on New Year's Eve? So the King of Hanzhong did not celebrate New Year's Eve because of the brotherly relationship, and the highlight of this year was delayed to Shangyuan Festival.

Guan Yu had sent back the message that he would rush back to Chengdu around the Lantern Festival. Gao Shun would also bring the rear army stationed in Nanzhong, as well as many materials and species harvests found in the Nanbar region, and send them back to Chengdu to present gifts in early February.

Good news came in a bunch of people, and Liu Bei felt a sense of elegance again.

During these days before the Lantern Festival, Chengdu City was busy counting the fruits of victory, relaxed and cheerful.

On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Guan Yu finally landed in Nan'an County with his two direct battalions, and then rode back to Chengdu. Liu Bei personally went out fifty miles south of the city and went to the suburbs near Wuyang County (Meishan) to celebrate Guan Yu's complete triumphant return after nearly a year and a half of his battles in Nanzhong.

"Second brother, Brother Yu believes you as General Zhennan, and he really lives up to expectations."

"Why do you have to say these extravagant words? That's all right."

"Second brother, don't be humble. Come on, my brother must drink it and carry it back on the Lantern Festival!"

Liu Guanzhang pushed each other with his shoulders and backs, and outsiders couldn't interfere.

After a while, finally finishing the friendship. Guan Yu solemnly took a wooden box from his personal soldiers, then showed it in front of Liu Bei, and then handed it over to the entourage beside Liu Bei to put it away.

Guan Yu bowed and explained: "This is the head of the pseudo-Yueli Prefect, the head of the Barbarian King Gao Yi, and his tribe members have also been seized. In accordance with the order of my brother, I have cultivated several new Barbarian chiefs in the past few months, and the Duwei E Shun was supervised and restrained each other.

After the winter of the Yueling Land this year, it has promised to select thousands of old soldiers to serve the country. In addition, the prisoners we received from Liu Yan's five thousand old soldiers back then, we can also gather tens of thousands of old soldiers in the future."

As mentioned earlier, when Liu Yan ruled Shu, the barbarian and powerful soldiers at hand were mainly five thousand Qing Qiang soldiers and five thousand old soldiers.

Qingqiang is a mountain citizen in the snowy area in northwest Sichuan, and the Sou Bing is actually the barbarians in the Daliang Mountains of Yueli County. Therefore, after Yueli County was pacified, it was actually of no economic value, but fortunately, it could provide a new source of mountain war barbarians like Banyan Man in Bajun.

The barbarians under Liu Bei's account, even the Heiyi of Kunming, Baiyi of Ailao, Banyan barbarians of Bajun, the Sou soldiers of Yueli, and the Qingqiang of Wudu Yinping, each of which could have 50,000 barbarian soldiers.

Liu Bei accepted these results and nodded repeatedly to commend him.

After talking about Yueli, Guan Yu asked someone to bring a few young people who were not like prisoners and were not like surrendered officials, and told Liu Bei:

"These are the legitimate sons of Liu Chong, the prefect of the Han Dynasty, and the local wealthy chief. When I returned to Zhuti, Liu Chong sent an envoy to the side of the river to surrender, saying that he was willing to obey the orders and let his descendants go to Jiangzhou to accept the academic studies of the disciples of Cai Gong. It seems that the eldest brother officially called the Queen of Hanzhong, which made those who were both ends of the rat have to surrender with etiquette."

This happened only on the way back, so Guan Yu did not send a messenger to inform him in advance, and Liu Bei had just learned about it until now.

But it is reasonable to think about it. The reason why the four counties in Nanzhong had to do their own affairs was, on the one hand, that they did not know Liu Bei's true strength, and whether Liu Bei could withstand the poor places where the emperor was far away. On the other hand, it was also because Liu Bei was just the "Governor of Yizhou" at that time, and was not the governor of Yizhou who was officially enthroned by the imperial court.

Since the second half of 192, Liu Bei's identity has changed. What is the governor of Yizhou? Even the king of Hanzhong who has gone further has been obtained. With the title, three other counties in Nanzhong have been pacified one after another. In the end, the poorest Liu Zhen left, so he didn't want to die anymore and surrendered obediently.

The southern central area was completely defeated.

"Happy event, Yun Chang goes on a war, I am relieved, and you will always get unexpected gains." Liu Bei was filled with emotion, and then he looked at the hostages and said some comforting words to let them study and live well in Jiangzhou, Bajun, in the future.

Among the group of people, not all hostages sent by the archers, and there was also an envoy who sent the surrender to the decree, who looked like a young civil servant.

Liu Bei talked with him for a few more words and asked about his identity.

The envoy bowed according to the ceremony: "Liu Ba, a savage from Lingling, lived in seclusion in the shore of the shore, and was sent by Liu Chong, the lord of the shore of the shore, to meet with the King of Hanzhong."

Liu Bei had actually heard of Liu Ba and helped him up seriously: "It turned out to be Liu Zichu, the great wise man in Jingnan. When Yun Chang pacified Wuling, he defeated Zhang Xian, the pseudo Lingling prefect, and once asked someone to visit Lingling's wise man. Did the gentleman avoid the siege at that time? Why did he still come to vote today? It was God's will."

It turned out that in history, Liu Ba was from Lingling. After being taken down by Liu Bei in Jingnan, he walked from Lingling and Wuling to Shu to live in seclusion. Unexpectedly, in this life, Liu Bei arrived in Jingnan 17 years in advance, and Liu Ba also walked on the Liu Dao to live in seclusion in the mountains. Unfortunately, all the surrounding counties were occupied by Liu Bei in the end, and Liu Ba's savages had no choice but to come to serve in the officialdom.

Liu Chongqiang, the prefect of Liu Ba, pulled this man as an envoy. Obviously, he had heard that Liu Bei was looking for Liu Ba, so he would probably have good results for offering Liu Ba.
