Wang Xuan easily convinced everyone. Indeed, everyone who was obsessed with development had forgotten that the fundamental purpose was to kill Boss Cao first.
However, after the meeting, everyone couldn't help but let out a miserable cry.
Is it true that a war can be waged? Especially a war against Shu. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is no joke.
The various things involved in it were so complicated that Wang Xuan could easily get rid of them with just a touch of his upper lip and a sentence of sending troops to Shu.
Especially under Liu Bei's rule, every ounce of strength has been mobilized to carry out great development.
All plans had to be rearranged, all work had to be redistributed, and everyone... except Wang Xuan, was so busy that they started to smoke!
Because no one can be sure how long this battle in Shu will last, what it will look like, and how much resources will be consumed.
In fact, everything has two sides, such as Shuzhong at this moment.
When all the developments in Jingzhou were spread to Shu, it immediately caused an uproar.
Once Liu Biao died, apart from the two overlords Cao and Liu, the only two left in the world were Shuzhong and Yangzhou.
Whether people in the two places want to admit it or not, they are relying on their geographical advantages to survive.
Among them, Yangzhou still has an absolute advantage. With Cao Cao as a barrier, at least until Liu Bei kills Cao Cao, Sun Ce only has to worry about Cao Cao. And because of the dangerous nature of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou is living very comfortably at the moment.
In comparison, Shuzhong is a bit difficult. Both Liu Bei and Cao Cao have opened channels to attack Shuzhong. Shuzhong, which is caught between the two major forces, will inevitably become the only target for the next round of competition between the two sides.
If this is not the most urgent crisis, then we have to talk about Shuzhong’s own problems.
This starts from when Liu Yan was deceived into thinking that there was an emperor's spirit in Shu... In short, Liu Yan went for the emperor's spirit. In order to fight against the big families in Shu and let himself truly take power, he went
At that time, he brought his own team, which was later known as the "Dongzhou Faction". At the same time, he recruited refugees from Nanyang and Sanfu areas to organize and train a tens of thousands of Dongzhou soldiers. Based on this, it was completely
Overwhelmed the local wealthy families in central Shu.
After that, the Dongzhou faction became Liu Yan's confidant and formed a political force headed by Xu Jing and assisted by Wu Yi, Fazheng, Li Yan and Meng Da.
But the problem is that Liu Yan soon lost his temper, and his son Liu Zhang was worth two hundred and fifty. He couldn't control the Dongzhou faction left by his father alone, let alone balancing the forces between the two parties.
Currently, due to the unstable foundation of the Dongzhou Faction, they are being defeated by the Yizhou native faction who are counterattacking. Seeing that the situation is not good, if this continues, the Dongzhou Faction will follow Liu Yan. At such a critical time——
Great changes in Jingzhou!
In the secret room of Xu Jing's house in the middle of Shu, Xu Jing was sitting on his seat, and Wu Yi, Fazheng, and Li Yan were standing on the left and right, looking extremely serious.
"According to the news I received, Huang Quan and others are preparing to lure Cao Cao into Shu." Xu Jing said in a deep voice.
"Aren't they afraid of ending up like the Jingzhou family?" Li Yan asked through gritted teeth.
"No, the situation in Shuzhong is different from that in Jingzhou. It would be strange if Liu Bei did not react after the incident in Jingzhou. It will not be easy for Cao Cao to win Shuzhong so easily. Therefore, Huang Quan and others are not worried about Cao Cao adding insult to injury."
"Cao Cao must not be allowed to enter Shu, otherwise, we will be doomed!" Fazheng said with a sinister look on his face.
Although the Dongzhou Sect could compete with the Yizhou local branch when Liu Yan was here, but thanks to the name of Dayi, now that Liu Yan is dead, the Dongzhou Sect is immediately at a disadvantage, and if they want to pass it on to the family, there is no way
A fixed basic base is not enough, but Fazheng, Mengda is from Fufengmei County in Sanfu, Wu Yi is from Chenliu, Yanzhou, and Li Yan is from Nanyang. They have no foundation in Yizhou.
If the Yizhou local faction is allowed to achieve its goal, then Huang Quan and others will intensify their efforts after receiving Cao Cao's support. Not only will they not give up any benefits, but they will also regain what they lost before returning. This will be the end of the Dongzhou faction.
disaster.
"How does Xiaozhi think we should deal with it?" Xu Jing looked at Fazheng expectantly.
"Let me tell the king about this first. I believe that with Liu Biao as an example, no matter how stupid the king is, he will not let the Yizhou faction do whatever they want!"
"This is feasible, but it can only be delayed for a while." Li Yan nodded in approval.
"They can bring Cao Cao here, why can't we bring the King of Han here!" Fazheng said a little fiercely.
"What!" Xu Jing, Li Yan, Wu Yi, and Meng Da all stood up from their seats in shock and looked at Fazheng in disbelief.
"Xiaozhi, are you crazy? If you lure Liu Bei to Shu, will there be a way for our family to survive?" Li Yan looked at Fazheng angrily. He was from Nanyang. Li Yan knew how powerful the Nanyang family was originally. Look at Nanyang now.
The aristocratic family, if not completely withered, is almost gone.
From a consequentialist perspective, Li Yan's fear of Liu Bei is not without reason.
Not only Li Yan, but also Wu Yi was also opposed. The Wu family was from Chenliu. Even if they moved from Chenliu to Shuzhong for some reasons, it didn't mean that they were still in Chenliu. Naturally, they had heard a lot about Liu Bei through these relationships.
Regarding Wang Xuan, we naturally know what Wang Xuan did to the Hebei family.
What's more, it had only been a few days since the incident in Hanzhong. If people didn't have any fear in their hearts, how big of a deal would they be!
As for Meng Da, he was not in a hurry to speak out. He had a very good relationship with Fa Zheng and knew that Fa Zheng would not act without aim.
Xu Jing was the leader after all. He raised his hand and motioned for Li Yan and Wu Yi to sit down and calm down. Then he looked at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, I believe you won't just say it out of anger. Please tell me your reasons."
"Of course it's not nonsense!" Fa Zheng is extremely arrogant at heart. Even though he, Li Yan, Wu Yi and others are all from the Dongzhou sect, he actually really doesn't like these two guys in his heart. He coughed lightly and said,
Fazhengcai said slowly and calmly: "The Yizhou faction has a great cause and has been rooted in Shu for hundreds of years. It has a deep foundation. It is afraid that Liu Bei will enter Shu. I don't understand. What are you afraid of!"
Fazheng spread his hands, with a trace of mockery on his lips, "Do you still think it's the past? Now you and I in Shu are both lost dogs, with neither foundation. What are you afraid of losing after the King of Han enters Shu?"
"Do you have anything else to lose? Or are you afraid of losing the right to dream?"
Li Yan and Wu Yi glared at Fazheng, but did not refute, and their words were rough and unreasonable. Indeed, they are... nothing now, or in other words, if there is no external intervention, they are likely to be completely destroyed by Huang Quan and others in Shu.
on this piece of land.
The internal struggle between aristocratic families is cruel beyond imagination.
