The spring breeze had just blown into Chengdu, bringing some vitality, but it was washed away by the urgent news from Luocheng, and the whole city was filled with panic.

Liu Zhang looked around. He saw that there had been an array of civil and military forces and was overcrowded, but now only Wang Lei and a few others were left. All the advisers had surrendered to the enemy, and the generals had gone and never returned.

"It is God's will. If Liu Qi can prosper the Han Dynasty, I will be willing to give up Yizhou!"

Wang Lei said: "Don't worry, my lord, there are still defenders and civilians in the city. If each family collects money and food, they can still fight against Liu Qi."

All the money and food in the city had been allocated by Zhang Song, the garrison had been transferred away by Liu Xun, and five thousand new soldiers and officers were all busy maintaining public order.

"War?" Liu Zhang looked at Wang Lei and laughed unexpectedly: "Don't say we are short of troops and food, but we have enough troops and food. Who will lead the troops? You or me?"

"This..." Wang Lei felt unwilling and gritted his teeth and said: "There are hundreds of tribes of barbarians in the south central area, who are brave and warlike. Dong He, the prefect of Yizhou, manages the territory well. He can use gold and silver land to invite barbarians to help in the war..."

"Unbridled!" Liu Zhang was furious and shouted: "Even though the world laughs at me, Liu Zhang, for being weak, I am a member of the Han clan and only want to preserve the territory. If I use barbarians and aliens, where is the majesty of my great Han Dynasty? You have repeatedly scolded Zhang Song for attracting wolves into the house."

, but it turned out that he was the one who would rather die to protect Luocheng. You used this trick to lure the wolf into the house, what is your intention?"

Wang Lei had never seen his lord so tough. Instead, he was stunned and didn't know how to argue. He was kicked out of the government office by the angry Liu Zhang.

The remaining Qiao Zhou and others did not dare to speak. Liu Zhang was furious and was about to change hands. There was no need to attract infamy at this time.

At this time, the soldiers delivered Liu Xun's letter. Liu Zhang hurriedly opened it. After reading it, he felt relieved and sighed: "My son understands righteousness, and Liu Qi is a benevolent man. Doesn't he know the current affairs?"

While sighing, a piece of paper fell from his heart, dangled from the desk, and floated to Qiao Zhou's feet.

Qiao Zhou leaned over to pick it up, opened it and looked at it. He was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "My lord, General Liu deeply cherishes the feelings of the same clan and must not let him down for his hard work."

Liu Zhang pointed to the note: "What's written on it?"

Qiao Zhou recited word by word: "Uncle Zhang, the peach blossoms in my hometown are blooming!"

Liu Zhang naturally understood what Liu Qi meant. He was silent for a while and then sighed: "My father and son have been in Shu for twenty years. They have no kindness to the people. Instead, they are bullied by Zhang Lu. The people are trapped and the talents are buried. It is all my fault. It should be

Let those who are capable live there."

Qiao Zhou said: "What the lord said is absolutely true. Today there is chaos, traitors are taking advantage of the provocation, and the world is in gnashing of teeth. The loyal ministers and good generals are all trying their best, and their hearts and brains are ruined. Fortunately, the talented Liu Boxi stepped forward, gathered all the heroes, and took the lead in resisting the thieves to eliminate the national crisis. My lord, with

The overall situation is the most important thing. If you work together as one of the same clan, you can serve the country well and live up to your ancestors below. Your name will be remembered for thousands of years."

Liu Zhang said: "What you said makes sense. How about we invite you to Luocheng and Liu Qi to Chengdu?"

Qiao Zhou happily accepted the order: "Your Majesty has entrusted you, and I will not refuse even if I die. The second young master is respectful and has a benevolent attitude. I can go with you on your behalf to show my sincerity."

Liu Zhang then sent his second son Liu Chan and Qiao Zhou to Luocheng to invite Liu Qi to Shu. At the same time, he ordered Xu Jing, the governor of Shu County, to go to Jianwei to meet Liu Pan, reward Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and relieve the crisis in the country.

The next day Liu Qi led his troops to Chengdu, and Liu Zhang led the civil and military forces to meet him, presented him with seals, ribbons and swords, and gave up his post as Yizhou Shepherd.

Liu Qi saluted and said, "It's not because I am the one who steals the throne and is not benevolent and righteous. However, Cao Cao's thieves are powerful and Sun Quan covets them. He only uses the land of Jingzhou to prosper the Han Dynasty. It is really powerless. I hope my uncle will understand."

Liu Zhang said with emotion: "My nephew is really extraordinary. You and I are from the same clan. Now I entrust Yizhou to you. I hope you can treat all the officials and people well. I am willing to return to my hometown to retire. My two dogs are not talented, so I am willing to help my nephew to prosper the Han Dynasty again."

Room, eternal Han Zuo!"

Liu Qi took the seal ribbon and walked into the city with Liu Zhang. He saw the streets crowded with people and the people cheering. Spring plowing was about to start. He finally caught up with Jingzhou's policy and got a big advantage.

When everyone arrived at the government office, Liu Qi ordered a banquet for three days to reward the three armies and appease the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou. The territory was full of joy.

In the afternoon, Liu Pan led all the generals to join forces in Chengdu. Liu Qi met with the veteran Yan Yan and took over Zhang He, Gan Ning and others. They made efforts from the north and south, and finally successfully joined forces.

The seal and ribbon of the governor of Yizhou were handed over to Liu Pan, and he paid homage to General Zhennan and ordered him to govern Xichuan, guard against the southern barbarians, and support Hanzhong.

It's not that Liu Qi is nepotistic. He trusts Liu Pan and naturally lets him take charge of important territory. This is how the king becomes the king and the enemy is the enemy.

In troubled times, this is called looking for enlightenment. In the workplace of later generations, it is better to follow the right person than to do the right thing.

People's opportunities and destiny are often closely related to the people around them. Without a suitable stage, no matter how capable you are, it will be in vain.

At the same time, he worshiped Jiang Wan as the governor of Yizhou, Liu Ba as the governor, promoted Fei Yi, and Dong Yun as the executive, and focused on cultivating them. They were the mainstays of the late Shu Han Dynasty, and their abilities were beyond doubt.

In addition to the main officials familiar with Jingzhou's government orders, Xu Jing, Qiao Zhou, Dong He, Li Hui, Qin Mi, etc. from Yizhou were all appointed to assist in the administration.

Taking Yizhou this time was easier than Liu Bei's. The basic resources were not destroyed. In addition, Jingzhou's family assets were not affected by the war, so there was no need to worry about the population, money and food.

However, the situation in Yizhou is complicated, and any party who is appointed will cause turmoil. Only Liu Pan, a third party, can enter the situation to achieve peace of mind.

He is Liu Qi's confidant, so he doesn't have to worry too much. He just needs to apply Jingzhou's decree to weaken the family in a reasonable way without causing a backlash and make the transition smooth.

In addition, Zhang Song and Fazheng, the heroes who entered Shu, one was too arrogant and the other was petty. They both served in the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion and stayed with themselves to avoid conflicts with others.

Zhang Song has a photographic memory, Ren Changshi is in charge of intelligence secrets, Fa Zhengze joins the army, and like Pang Tong, joins Zhuge Liang's strategist camp and serves as a think tank.

The three-legged pattern was initially formed. Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chu were together, which also changed Xu Shu's fate. In addition to Ma Chao, the generals included Gan Ning, Zhang He, Yu Jin, and Zhang Ren. It can be said that there is a wealth of talents.

Zhuge Liang only relied on the resources of Yizhou to continue Han Zuo for decades, making six trips to Qishan to mediate Jiangdong. Now he holds a trump card, and Liu Qi is full of confidence.

Sun Cao is fighting for Huainan. If he can seize the opportunity to pacify Guanzhong and visit Chang'an, his voice for revitalizing the Han Dynasty will be even louder. If Cao Cao eats more Wu Shi San, he will be able to conquer the Central Plains soon.

For a moment, Liu Qi was very confident and confident, as if he had everything under control.

Suddenly I understood why Yuan Shao in Guandu and Cao Cao in Chibi despised his opponents. Their sense of superiority in controlling the world and intimidating their opponents was simply unparalleled.

Only by being in his position can one experience this feeling, but Liu Qi also knows that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the world is uncertain, so he still needs to work hard.
