Pang Tong collected a lot of information. He found several maps and drew all the information on them.
Gradually, a lot of "rebellion" took place in these places, except around the capital, except the coastal States and inland states.
These massive rebellions made Pang Tong judge that Zhang Yu treated the coastal areas differently, ignored the inland areas, and overcharged the inland areas, and then used them to build cities and roads.
There's nothing wrong with building cities and roads. It's too good for the Empire. But Pang Tong thinks that Zhang Yu is eager for quick success and instant benefits and wants to finish it within a few years. In addition, Zhang Yu's differential treatment can easily arouse hatred.
With all these things, Pang Tong concluded that they must still have a chance.
As long as Zhang Yu's chaos continues, they can take the opportunity to kill him.
After Pang Tong judged, he was very happy. He spent a few days sorting out the map and information, and then went to find Liu Bei.
After reading the information, Liu Bei was also very happy and even cheered up.
"Shiyuan, before I was bad, I was absent from the imperial government. Now I must change my old ways and be diligent in government affairs." Liu Bei said.
Liu Bei began to cry, regretting for his previous absurdity.
Therefore, Liu Bei issued a criminal Edict and summoned the officials.
In front of the officials, Liu Bei said: "before I was ill, I haven't dealt with the government affairs for a long time. Fortunately, you have worked together to govern the government affairs. Now I have recovered a little, so I must be diligent in government affairs."
The officials bowed down one after another, saying that they would make joint efforts to deal with the affairs well.
This time Liu Bei was sincere, because he saw the hope, saw the hope to fight out, and didn't have to separate.
In this way, his ambition was finally revived.
After cheering up, he really began to work hard.
For several days, Liu Bei has been gathering officials to discuss one policy after another.
It's just that Liu Bei has to go to the next room to take some Fushou cream every other period of time, otherwise he will have no spirit at all.
Nevertheless, the officials thought that he was a diligent emperor.
It took Liu Bei about ten days to get to know the government again.
On this day, he recruited Jian Yong, Pang Tong, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
"Now Zhang Yu's exorbitant collection of taxes makes the proverbs boiling. I don't know what good strategies you have?" Said Cao Cao.
Several people looked at Pang Tong. Pang Tong understood this trend best.
"Your Majesty, I think it's just a small trouble now, and we should continue to wait. I also heard that Zhang Yu is recruiting a large number of people to build a 1000 mile long canal. This is undoubtedly a great project that will be passed down through the ages, but it's very difficult. It needs a lot of money and more than one million labor. If Zhang Yu starts this project, it will certainly lead to greater public resentment."
"In addition, I also heard that Zhang Yu borrowed a lot of money and asked businessmen to raise money, which is just like taking profits from the people. I believe that in two years, there will be more people against him. We just need to send more people secretly to stir up the flames, and we will kill them when there is a rebellion."
Pang Tong said, several people are very happy, long lost heart of struggle back.
Before, several people thought that there was no hope to fight out, so they were depressed, but they didn't like Liu Bei, and they had to take Fushou ointment.
Today, Liu Bei has to take a few mouthfuls of Fushou ointment before he convenes his ministers to discuss affairs, otherwise he will lose his spirit.
However, they are facing a big problem.
Liu Bei said: "we only have 200000 troops, while Zhang Yu has a million strong troops. Even if there are four rebellions, it is difficult to fight them down."
Pang Tong is very confident, he said to the public: "this Zhang Yu has the ability, but once there is a rebellion, the cronies of the previous princes may also take the opportunity to rebel under the banner, and we will attack Jingzhou first, take advantage of Jingzhou's wealth and develop our strength rapidly, so we have a good chance to overthrow Zhang Yu directly."
Pang Tong's words were very encouraging, which made several people regain a lot of confidence.
Now Liu Bei has also perked up, and everyone feels that there is great hope to fight.
"Your Majesty, we can recruit another 100000 troops, with a total force of 300000, which is enough to fight out and gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou." Jianyong said.
Liu Bei thinks it can, but their finance is not very good.
"Your Majesty, we can find more aristocratic families to raise money, and we can collect more taxes for half a year, then we can recruit a good army." Pang Tong said.
Liu Bei has given great benefits to these aristocratic families. Now they have to give a part, otherwise Liu Bei will have a reason to do it.
After discussion, Liu Bei asked Jian Yong to be in charge of logistics, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to recruit troops, while Pang Tong continued to collect intelligence and sent people to spread rumors.
After the division of labor, several people are confident and ready to start.
Liu Bei of Shuchuan rallied and enlisted troops to prepare for the war.
And Zhang Yu finally went out of Beijing, but this time he didn't go to a far place, but to Tianjin port, where he went to meet someone.
The person he wants to pick up is Anyuan.
Anyuan has been working in Fusang for many years, and he has made great contributions to the management of Fusang. It is because Anyuan has been staying in Fusang and provided a lot of money for Zhangyu, so that Zhangyu can develop at such a high speed.
This time, Zhang Yu finally called Anyuan back, and he went to the port to meet him.
Call Anyuan back because Fusang has finished its innovation. Zhang Yu doesn't want Anyuan to continue to grow there.
Over there, it is divided into six provinces by Zhang Yu.
They are divided into six parts, and they manage each other. Of course, when there are major disasters, they still need to face them together.
At this time has been dealt with, Zhang Yu naturally let Anyuan back.
Anyuan's prestige is too high there. It's easy for Anyuan's family to dominate the provinces.
So Zhang Yu called Anyuan back.
"Anyuan, it's really hard for you to go abroad for many years."
Anyuan didn't expect that Zhang Yu would meet him at the port in person. In fact, Zhang Yu has been waiting here for three days.
He only knows the approximate time of Anyuan's return, because communication is underdeveloped, so he can't know the exact time.
"Your Majesty, if it were not for your Majesty's great kindness, there would be no minister today." Anyuan came back with great emotion.
Anyuan and his wife and children came back.
Two wives, both Fusang people, three children.
This is what Zhang Yu arranged for him at the beginning. He couldn't do without a stable home. At the beginning, Zhang Yu needed Anyuan to stay in Fusang.
Fusang's silver mine is too important.
"Go, I'm in the capital. I bought you a house with the property of my Zhang family. I'll live well in the capital later."
"Thank you, sir." Anyuan is deeply moved. Thank you again.
On the way, Zhang Yu said to Anyuan, "I'll call you back this time. I'll give you something important."
"My minister must be in front of me and back of me, and I will die later." Anyuan said.
Zhang Yu said: "this time, you should have a good rest for a month and get to know the situation. I will appoint you as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of industry, responsible for digging the canal."
