Chapter 668

Xiangyang, Chu palace.

Liu Xiu led his troops back to the palace.

When the army returned to the barracks, the generals all performed their duties.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others came to the house.

In the palace.

Liu Xiu, Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan all took their seats in the hall.

Liu Xiu's eyes swept over the crowd and finally fell on Kuai Liang, saying: "zirou, what's the situation of Chu state during the period of going north?"

Kuai Liang said: "report back to the king of Chu, all the grain this year has entered the Treasury."

"According to statistics, this year's grain has doubled that of last year."

"In terms of grain, our country has enough."

"But on the other hand, the border confrontation between Chu and Wu happened from time to time, and the situation was somewhat unstable."

"In addition, the situation in Yizhou is a bit strange. "I have arranged for people to go to investigate, but there is no news yet."

Kuai Liang gave a general idea.

At present, the state of Chu is prosperous on the whole.

There are only local conflicts.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "it's normal for the border conflict between Chu and Wu. It's just something in Yizhou. Can you check it out? "

At this point, Liu Xiu's face suddenly cooled down.

The sound became heavy.

When fighting with Cao Cao at the front line, Jia Xu told him that there was something wrong with Yizhou.

But up to now, there is no concrete result.

What's going on?

It's quite strange that we can't find out the result in such a long time.

Kuai Liang replied, "the king of Chu has received news that the Bo people on the southwest border of Yizhou have made trouble. These Bo people have attacked everywhere and attacked many places."

"However, the Bo people are quite cunning."

"Even if Huo Jun and others sent troops, there was no definite result."

"Besides the Bo people, there are also barbarians who make trouble."

"After deliberation, the officials thought that someone was behind the instigation, or even secretly directing."

"It's just that we don't have any news yet."

Kuai Liang said: "the king of Chu, in the southwest of Yizhou, there are poor mountains and rivers everywhere, and there are rugged mountains and roads everywhere. It is difficult for our army to reach. This position is really difficult to handle. "

After listening, Liu Xiu nodded slightly.

Liu Xiu also had a general understanding of the location of Bo people.

This area has been the direction of Yibin City in the future.

These areas are indeed mountainous, especially in the Bo People's area which was still slash and burn farming more than 1000 years ago, there was no development.

Such areas are worse indeed.

Before that, Liu Xiu had led troops to Jiaozhou to attack Liu Bei.

The environment in Jiaozhou is also very bad.

However, the bad environment of Jiaozhou is not caused by the terrain, but more by the weather.

If you go to Jiaozhou at the right time, it's not a big problem.

However, in rugged mountainous areas, it is very difficult in summer and winter. In the spring and Autumn period, although the sky is high and the air is cool, the topography remains unchanged, which still makes it difficult for the army to March.

The problem of Yizhou was gradually solved by the gradual development of Yizhou in successive dynasties.

But now, it's difficult for Liu Xiu.

For example, under the rule of Sun Quan of Jiangdong, the terrain of Shanyue people and Jiangdong is already quite good.

However, Sun Quan had to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to solve the problem of Jiangdong. Rao is so. From time to time, there will be disturbances by Shanyue people in Jiangdong.

After Liu Xiu had the bottom of his mind, he looked at Deng Zhan and asked, "Deng Zhan, is there any news from the royal guards?"

Deng Zhandao said: "the news of Lord Kuai comes from the royal guards."

Liu Xiu nodded.

It seems that the current news is the latest news.

Liu Xiu looked at Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Wen he, what do you think of Bo people and barbarians in Yizhou?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and his eyes were shining.

He thought all the time on his way back.

He had some ideas in his mind.

Jia Xu said: "king of Chu, I have the following three ideas about the situation in Yizhou."

Liu xiudao: "say!"

Jia Xu replied, "first, Sun Quan is the most likely one."

"During the turmoil in Yizhou, Sun Quan, together with him, also took action. We have to say that Sun Quan had no suspicious place."

"In particular, Sun Quan and the state of Chu were hostile."

"Although the relationship between Sun Quan and the state of Chu is somewhat complicated, Sun Quan always wanted to avenge his father, so Sun Quan always wanted to avenge his father.""In particular, the deaths of Zhang Dan, Huang Gai and others made Sun Quan feel like a knot in his heart."

"Sun Quan had been dormant before."

"Either to please the king of Chu, or to please Cao Cao, in short, to please both sides."

"Now that Sun Quan has a certain strength, or that Sun Quan's arrangement is in place, it's reasonable for him to send troops to wrestle with the king of Chu."

Jia Xu said: "therefore, the first suspicion of Laochen is Sun Quan."

So, everyone nodded.

All his faces showed approval, because Jia Xu's analysis was reasonable.

Wu Guoxiang is adjacent to Chu Guoxiang.

Under such circumstances, Wu was always hostile to Chu.

Second, Liu Xiu nodded

Jia Xu replied, "second, what I suspect is Cao Cao."

"I just doubt Cao Cao, but there are also contradictions."

"There has always been a battle between the king of Chu and Cao Cao, and Cao Cao has also been laying out his plans. He wants to place the pieces in the state of Chu to further inquire about the news."

"It's just that Cao Cao has never been successful in Jingzhou."

"But Yizhou is different. Yizhou has a vast land and few people. There are countless mountains and forests."

"There are many barbarians living in these places."

"It is also possible for Cao Cao to arrange people to go there and then persuade the barbarians to make trouble."

"However, the contradiction of this news is that Cao Cao actually withdrew his troops. If Cao Cao knew that the barbarians would make trouble, he should not withdraw after he got the news. "

"Of course, another reason for Cao Cao's withdrawal this time was that Cao Cao was seriously ill and he also found the miracle doctor Hua Tuo."

"So it's normal for Cao Cao to retreat."

Jia Xu said: "so this analysis, Cao Cao is also suspected, but the suspicion is relatively small."

Jia Xu never despised Cao Cao.

Jia Xu once served under Cao Cao, and even fought against Cao Cao.

Jia Xu admired Cao Cao's methods and strategies, because Cao Cao was really powerful.

If Cao Cao had any arrangement, he would be able to get by.

After hearing this, everyone agreed with Jia Xu's analysis.

Cao Cao has doubts.

There is no doubt about this.

People began to discuss the possibility of Cao Cao.

After listening to everyone's opinions, Liu Xiu said, "Mr. Wenhe, what about the third?"

Jia Xu looked solemn and said, "the third possibility is Liu Bei."

When Liu Xiu heard the speech, his pupils shrank.

In Liu Xiu's eyes, there was a touch of accident, which was really out of his medical care.

Liu Bei?

Could it be Liu Bei?
