Yizhou, Mianzhu County.

Liu Zhang and Zheng Du were sitting opposite each other. Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and his teeth were chattering up and down.

Obviously, his mood was ups and downs now, and he was extremely panicked and frightened.

"Zheng Jun, the power in Shu is no longer with me. My Liu family is in danger of dying. At this time, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid my life will be taken away by those ambitious people in less than a year."

Got it!"

Zheng Du was silent when he heard this.

The situation in Yizhou is not very good...Liu Qi occupied Jiangzhou and carried out a large-scale reclamation in Jiangzhou, building terraces and waterwheels...and brought new plows from Jingzhou. It seems that he is going to expand the area in Sichuan

Open up new fields and start a big fight.

Once Liu Qi succeeds, not only will the people of Shu win over him, but his foundation in Shu will be basically formed. At that time, the Jingzhou Army will not need to travel thousands of miles to transport grain from the rear.

As long as there is one harvest, the fields will be enough to support the tens of thousands of elites under Liu Qi's command. If he can win over the gentry from various counties, Liu Qi's influence in Yizhou will become stronger and stronger.

This is what Liu Zhang least wants to see, that is, Liu Qi is getting fatter and fatter.

What's more terrible is that Jia Long has also entered Bajun.

Although Jia Long and Ren Qi currently have some conflicts with Zhang Yun and Cai Xun under Liu Qi, there is no doubt that their goal is to take over Yizhou and compete for their own foundation.

Within Yizhou, those powerful people who have objections to Liu Zhang are now ready to make a move.

At the beginning, Liu Yan's conflicts with the nobles in Shu were so deep that they could not be resolved even by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang's current situation can be described as internal and external troubles.

So, Liu Zhang was really scared.

"Jiangzhou had already been lost before Liu Sui and others arrived. Zhang Song went to send Liu Qi as an envoy, but it had no effect at all. Jia Long had also entered Yizhou, and the entire Badi was lost.

Sooner or later, Yizhou will no longer be owned by me from the east of Fulishui. At present, Liu Quan and others are stationed in Fulishui and dare not act rashly... But whether it is Liu Qi or Jia Long, they will rush to Fulishui sooner or later.

Come...sir, at this critical moment, Zhang can only adopt your strategy."

After hearing this, Zheng Du nodded slowly.

"My lord, have you thought clearly?"

"Think it through!"

"But this is a method of hurting both sides, and the damage to the lord's reputation is too serious. Even if Liu Qi and Jia Long can be defeated, the lord's reputation will not be restored within three years."

Liu Zhang sneered: "People's hearts can always be won back. It doesn't hurt to spend some time. If I don't do this, I'm afraid my life will be gone, and there will be no talk of reputation... Mr. Zheng, I'll leave this matter to you."

,Do not disappoint me."

"promise!"

…

Liu Zhang made up his mind to move all the soldiers and civilians west of Fulishui and burn all the grain, in order to achieve the effect of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.

But before this strategy could be put on the table, rumors began to spread in Mianzhu...

For some reason, everyone in Guanghan County began to spread the word that Liu Qi was the lord of Yizhou granted by the emperor. This time he came to Yizhou to regain Shuchu for the Han Dynasty, and Liu Yan, who had been commanding Yizhou,

Liu Zhang and his son were traitors in the clan and were rebellious thieves.

In addition, there are also rumors among the people that in order to preserve his position, Liu Zhang would not hesitate to destroy the fields, grains and warehouses east of Fulishui. By then, the entire eastern Yizhou would become a scorched earth, and people would not have enough food to eat. Yi Zixiang

The food situation will appear again in Shu.

As soon as the news came out, with Fulishui as the center, the entire people of Guanghan County and Shu County, including the aristocratic families, seemed to have exploded!

If Liu Zhang really destroyed all the warehouses and valleys, the people affected would be all classes in Yizhou, including all powerful families and the heads of the Qi people and Guizhou.

These groups of people who were originally in opposing classes were now in unprecedented unity. They stood on the same front and issued a strong voice of opposition!

If they were ordinary rumors, the Yizhou official group headed by Liu Zhang might be able to suppress them.

But this time the force that set off this wave was too huge. Their power and reputation among the people of Yizhou far exceeded that of Liu Zhang!

Heavenly Master teaches!

Since the time of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, the Tianshi Sect has gained a foothold in Shu. Over the past fifty years, these six characters, "The Way of the Righteous Alliance", have been deeply engraved into the hearts of all Shu people, even the barbarians.

People, after hearing the name Tianshijiao, couldn't help but respect it from the bottom of their hearts.

This respect cannot be cultivated overnight, but it has been accumulated bit by bit by the Tianshi Sect in Shu for half a century.

Just the "Five Pecks of Rice" policy taught by Tianshi has helped many Shu people traveling from south to north in the past few decades. Just the treatment method passed down by Zhang Daoling has saved many people in the past fifty years.

In this way, many Shu people got rid of the plague and saved their lives! Zhang Daoling's method of "getting salt from the mausoleum" has brought countless Shu people the benefits of survival in half a century.

In terms of human spiritual power, which force is the most powerful?

Belief!

The Tianshi Sect is now fully promoting in Shu that Liu Qi is a righteous and heroic leader. In addition, it is exaggerating the tyranny of Liu Zhang and Liu Yan. How can the popular trend in Shu turn to Liu Zhang?

In Guanghan County, Shu people in many places have begun to cause turmoil. People in some villages even refused to pay taxes, and were openly or covertly preparing to resist Liu Zhang's regime.

Under this general background, when Liu Zhang proposed the strategy of "strengthening the wall and clearing the country" in the council hall, the whole hall immediately exploded.

Among the people, young Huang Quan stood up.

Huang Quan was a member of the Huang family, a prominent family in Langzhong. In the third year of Chuping, Liu Yan appointed Huang Quan, a young member of the Huang family, as his eunuch in order to strengthen his dominance in Ba County and find a prominent family that could check the Yan family.

history.

Huang Quan is only eighteen years old now, not as old as Liu Qi, but because of his deep family background, he has read a lot of classics and history since he was a child, and even has some military art relics left by his ancestors, so he is more mature than his peers.

Early maturity means more insight and knowledge.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huang Quan stood up, knelt down in front of Liu Zhang, and said loudly: "Lord! At this time of year, if we move people and burn fields,

, will definitely cause riots! It is tantamount to destroying the city wall! By then, Yizhou will be in danger, and my lord will be in danger! My lord!"

Liu Zhang had a gloomy look on his face: "Nonsense! I am doing this to retreat from Liu Jia and save Yizhou! Why would you destroy the city wall?"

Huang Quan shouted: "My lord, Liu Qi's reputation among the people in central Shu is very high now, and it has been spread among the people east of Fushui that my lord wants to destroy all the warehouses and burn the fields to remove the grain. There are people everywhere.

When rebellion occurs, it is not enough to suppress it in various places. If my lord wants to implement this strategy at this juncture, I am afraid that the people will be deeply resentful and it will lead to a catastrophe... Lord!"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but became furious: "You bastard! Then Liu Boyu has only been in Shuzhong for a few days, so how can he have such a high prestige? Besides, my strategy of relocating people and destroying valleys has not been implemented yet. How can there be such a wild rumor among the people? Who is it?

Spread it out!"

On the other side, Wang Lei, who was in charge, came out and said: "My lord, although my lord has not implemented the matter of relocating the people and burning warehouses, he has discussed it with us in several meetings. How can we hide this from this person who talks so much?"

World? As for Liu Boyu's popularity in Shu, it is actually due to the teachings of the Heavenly Master."

"Pah!" Liu Zhang slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare these monsters from the Heavenly Master teach themselves to spread rumors among the people? Why don't you kill the county magistrates and county lieutenants?"

Everyone in the hall looked at me and I looked at you, each feeling helpless.

Huang Quan raised his voice and said: "Lord! The Tianshi Sect has been in Shu for decades. It has benefited the people greatly and has a great reputation. It has countless followers. In every five households in the counties of Yizhou, there must be one follower of the Tianshi Sect.

Could it be that my lord wants to kill them all?"

Liu Zhang was stunned when he heard this.

Wang Lei spoke slowly and said: "My Lord, when the First Master favored the Lu family and treated Zhang Lu favorably, did you think you were just indulging in Lu's beauty? In fact, the reputation of the Tianshi Sect among the people in Sichuan is too great and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If you want to rule Shu, you must win over the Tianshi Sect. However, your lord hates the Lu family very much and abandons the Tianshi Sect. Now that the Tianshi Sect belongs to Liu Qi, it is inevitable for him to take advantage of the situation. The current matter must not be repeated.

One wrong step, or you will be doomed, so please be careful, my lord."

"My lord! My lord, you can't do that!"

"If my lord takes this strategy at this time, Yizhou will inevitably be in chaos. Please make a clear decision, my lord!"

"My lord, Zheng Du has caused great harm to the country and the people. He has proposed this poisonous plan. If he doesn't kill him, the people will be angry! Please kill him, my lord!"
