Disciples from the Tianjian Sect joined, as well as a group of bounty hunters from the world of martial arts.
The demon troubles in Liu Bei's territory have been suppressed a lot, and it can be called a paradise compared to other war-torn areas.
Such a good place certainly attracts many refugees.
In troubled times, population is the guarantee of economy, military and other aspects.
Moreover, among Liu Bei's areas, Jizhou and Qingzhou have a larger population, while Bingzhou and Youzhou are mixed areas with Hu and Han people, so the population is sparse, and it is time to fill in the population.
This caused great dissatisfaction among Cao Cao. During the famine and wars in recent years, a large number of the population in the area under his jurisdiction had been expelled to Jizhou, which was like a slow bloodletting.
It happened that at this time, Cao Cao was fighting with Sun Jian and Liu Biao, defeating both sides in one fell swoop, and killed Sun Jian in formation, and captured the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
Then he supported a Han clan clan member as a puppet emperor to promote his own orthodoxy.
Then he ordered Lu Bu to send 30,000 troops north to attack Liu Bei.
Xu Yin rarely interferes in war matters now.
He did not hold any official position on Liu Bei's side, and he simply used his freedom to detach himself from others.
Liu Bei also gave him a high degree of freedom. He could come to the palace for meetings at any time without posting.
Xu Yin would only put forward his own suggestions and guide Liu Bei in some strategic arrangements after encountering problems in the implementation of relevant systems.
At other times, with the assistance of Kong Ming and more and more talented people, Liu Bei's basic framework based on the three provinces and six ministries of later generations has already taken shape.
And under this political framework, no warlord force in the world has as high administrative efficiency as theirs.
The Taiping Order that continues to exude yellow weather luck also shows that Liu Beijun is on the right path as a whole and does not need to be corrected.
The place where Xu Yin lives is a winery outside the city, which is a government-run winery.
During this period, Wang Yue and his disciples lived in the house and went out to slay demons from time to time.
Unless he encounters a big demon that is difficult to deal with, Wang Yue will not take action easily. Now he has also received a job as a demon exterminator in the Criminal Department of Liu Bei's bureaucracy.
Wang Yue was originally disdainful, but after Xu Yin's persuasion, he agreed to take it down.
As a result, he started practicing during this period and progressed very quickly, and he had no idea why.
As one of the Nine Heavens, Xu Yin finally explained the reason to him.
Only then did Wang Yue realize how many great things Xu Yin had done in the past. But wouldn't this prove that Liu Bei's power was determined by destiny?
On this day, the two were discussing swords in the courtyard, when suddenly a messenger came to visit them in a hurry.
"Immortal Lord! My lord, I need help!"
Xu Yin put away his sword and asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"
"Half a month ago, Lu Bu invaded from Guandu, and my lord sent General Guan to lead the army to fight.
The fight was originally evenly matched, but for some reason, Lu Bu was able to control the demons and attacked General Guan's troops from the flanks of the battlefield, so that he finally retreated in a rout."
Xu Yin and Wang Yue looked at each other. Xu Yin frowned and said, "Are you sure Lu Bu can control demons?"
"It's absolutely true! How could General Guan and his subordinates lie?"
Wang Yue said: "Call that guy Zuo Ci. This matter is not a trivial matter and must be taken care of!"
Xu Yin nodded slightly, Wang Yue asked his disciple to inform Zuo Ci, and the two of them quickly headed to Xindu.
Liu Bei had already summoned a group of key people to discuss the matter. When he heard that Xu Yin was coming, he immediately invited him to the meeting hall.
Kong Ming stood up and said: "Lord, let me explain this matter to the teacher."
Liu Bei nodded slightly and signaled Kong Ming to explain.
The defeated Guan Yu and his son Guan Ping were also in the hall, looking ashamed.
However, seeing that they were covered in bruises and bruises, they must have experienced a fierce resistance and finally retreated because they could no longer hold up the force.
"Teacher, the thing is like this. Originally, General Guan and Lu Bu faced off in Guandu, and both sides had their own victory or defeat.
Since our army is currently mainly recuperating and stabilizing its rule, General Guan is only ordered to defend. As long as Lu Bu runs out of food, he will naturally be able to hold on.
But four days ago, Lu Bu provoked his generals to fight one after another on the battlefield. This was not the first time that General Guan fought against Lu Bu. Within 300 rounds, it would be difficult for the two sides to decide the outcome.
Therefore, a one-on-one decisive battle was meaningless, and General Guan paid no attention to it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu took the initiative to attack this time, and the entire army pressed forward without sparing any effort.
General Guan could only stand ready and try his best to resist.
Although the trapped camp is powerful, it still cannot break through the thick foot formation, and the two sides are in a stalemate.
An alien passage suddenly appeared on the side of the battlefield. At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and no one paid attention to it.
Unexpectedly, more and more demons emerged from the cracks, numbering in the thousands.
They have no formation, do not know how to cooperate in combat, and often injure their own people when they act.
However, they are powerful individually and are not afraid of death. They only attack the general's formation.
Under the circumstances at that time, no one could have imagined that the demon would only attack General Guan and not harm anyone at Lu Bu.
General Guan was surrounded by enemies on both sides, so he had no choice but to shrink back, then personally cut off the rear and cover the retreat of the large army.
Now Lu Bu led his troops and a group of monsters to ravage all around and captured two county towns. All the people in the city were devoured by the monsters."
Xu Yin frowned slightly and said: "If Lu Bu only has these soldiers, horses and monsters, Liu Shijun should be able to take them down."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem in defeating them, but the key now is that I am worried about how Lu Bu will respond if he summons another demon when the army is fighting."
Xu Yin said: "If there is a passage for demons to appear, Brother Wang and I and Master Zuo will be able to solve it! What is more important to us is why Lu Bu can control the demons!"
Everyone nodded, this was the weirdest and scariest thing.
You must know that demons cannibalize people for a living and are not afraid of death. Even if they don't understand battle formations, just using them as consumables is enough to put huge pressure on enemy troops.
For those who are a little skilled in military use, being able to master such a consumable unit will naturally be of great help to the outcome of the war.
Kong Ming said: "No matter what, I'm afraid only those who have come into contact with Lu Bu will know!"
Zhang Fei stood up and said: "Although Lu Bu, a slave of the third surname, is very powerful, if I join forces with my second brother, I will not get any benefit from him. Zilong will definitely take his life if he follows me!"
Guan Yu raised his head and said: "Although the defeated general cannot be said to be brave, Guan is willing to fight with him as an ordinary soldier to avenge his shame!"
Liu Bei comforted him and said, "Second brother, you were not to blame for this matter. Who would have thought that Lu Bu could control demons?
You can command the troops as usual, and you will still be my former general. The third brother will lead the left army, and Zilong will lead the right army!
General Qu will lead the rear army, and we will have another battle with Lu Bu! How can we let this villain ruin the situation that we finally developed?"
Xu Yin said: "When Ambassador Liu sets out, we will follow him together. We will definitely find out what happened to Lu Bu!"
