Li Ru’s worries are not unreasonable. His identity is different from ordinary people. Back then, he was a monarch-killing minister and poisoned the emperor. If you just need to put a person on his head, you can scare him to death, let alone do it!

Therefore, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were both brave back then, and they were far beyond the bottom line of tolerance for them by the people of the whole country.

In the Central Plains, no prince is willing to take in such a person. No matter how talented he is or how capable he is, no one is willing to take in him.

Everyone was afraid of arousing public anger, and they could not resist the hope of the world for one person. Song Jian was against the king, so he could be without any scruples, but the princes also relied on the hat of the Han family to make a living and had to be cautious.

People who are shameless and unafraid of being criticized by thousands of people are strange, and after all, they are still a minority. Such people are not even considered to be second-handed and are second-handed.

It is obvious that today, those who can become princes are not second-class people. Since they are not second-class people, they will not offend the world and support the emperor's rule because of Li Ru alone.

Who is so mean these days?

So, in a short meeting, Wang Yi transformed from being a killer who used the beauty trick to become a full-time spy who provided information for Li Ru. His identity suddenly became a spy, and the nature of the mission also changed.

But at least one thing is that when Wang Yi gave Yuan Shang a chronic poison, Li Ru asked her to stop first, but invisibly it was also considered to have saved Yuan Shang's life. Otherwise, if this continues, once the poison is released, Yuan Shang really doesn't know how he died.

He returned to Yuan Shang with the fruit without thinking. Wang Yi was a little absent-minded. Yuan Shang couldn't help but be curious when he saw this.

"It took so long to buy a fruit?" Yuan Shang blinked and looked at Wang Yi with a hint of confusion.

Wang Yi smiled softly, adjusted his mindset, suppressed the sorrow in his heart, and said, "I am learning from the master's appearance. I bargained with the fruit vendor. I did this for the first time, and I have no skills, so I have been delayed. Please forgive me."

Yuan Shang didn't care when he heard this, and laughed and said, "You can teach me! It's okay to have a lot of skills, just practice more. I don't bargain at once. Practice this thing makes perfect. Persevere. I will teach you some experience the next day so that you can avoid detours."

When Wang Yi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Yuan Shang got up and fisted to knock on a Kabo Gua, broke a piece and took a bite by himself, then reached out and broke a piece and handed it to Wang Yi.

Seeing this, Wang Yi was stunned and said in surprise: "You are...?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Eat together!"

Wang Yi was frightened when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "What is the identity of a servant? How dare you share food with your master?"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel happy.

"Don't worry, I don't have as many rules as other people's families, I should eat and drink, but there are so many bad habits? Is it a Qiang person like you? Is it a bloodline? I guess you shouldn't be purebred!"

Wang Yi frowned when he heard this, and pointed his chin with his fingers. After thinking carefully for a while, he said quietly: "Master, are you praising me or hurting me? Why do you think it's so strange..."

“…………”

***************************

The calm time always feels very short. Before Yuan Shang could stay in the casual days of Kuangsan, a very important message came from the Guanzhong South Line!

Liu Bei drove away Liu Zhang, occupied Western Shu, and completely became a generation of heroes who separated Jing and spanned the southwest!

Liu Bei's domination of Xichuan had a great impact on the world's pattern, and he could not help but make the princes in the world look at each other. Yuan Shang has been busy pacifying Guanzhong recently. Now that he has received this news, he can't help but sigh and said intimately, "It's a pity that if you are not careful, this old thing will take advantage of the loopholes, seize the southwest half, and achieve hegemony!"

However, things have happened, and regret is useless. The most urgent task is to formulate the next action strategy.

So, Yuan Shang held a military meeting in Kuanghan, and all the generals and senior officials from all departments participated.

At the meeting, Yuan Shang asked Zhang Ji, who was currently in charge of the four-sided information in Guanzhong, to ask Liu Bei about the specific matters of seizing Xichuan.

Zhang Ji immediately explained to Yuan Shang:

When Liu Bei entered Sichuan this time, he originally brought Pang Tong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others to pretend to help Liu Zhang defend Zhang Lu, but in fact he was seeking his foundation. He did not expect that Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, would look north and not be enemies with Liu Zhang. Instead, he swept his eyes to Guanzhong, and in the end, even the people were captured alive by Yuan Shang.

Zhang Lu was captured and the danger of Xichuan was resolved, so Liu Bei had no reason to stay in Xichuan. Military advisor Pang Tong designed Liu Bei to raise an army from Jiameng Pass in the name of insufficient food supply in Liu Zhang, and attack Xichuan!

This time, Liu Bei only brought Pang Tong with him and did not lead Zhuge Liang. He intended to give Pang Tong a chance to make contributions, so that he could equal the position of Kong Ming in the army and share Kong Ming's power. However, the world did not meet his wishes. Yuan Shang led 30,000 Bingzhou troops to Guanzhong. The battle in Guanzhong was in full swing. Almost no one could stop him and the recovery of Yongliang was extremely smooth.

This was far beyond Liu Bei's expectations. He thought that the time he took over Sichuan was similar to that when Yuan Shang pacified Guanzhong, but he did not expect that Yuan Shang was too cunning, and the speed of destroying the rebellion was incredible! If Yuan Shang really tried to pacify Guanzhong before him, and he and Liu Zhang were still fighting in Xichuan, once Yuan Shang raised an army to attack Yizhou, wouldn't he and Liu Zhang both have to finish it?

In desperation, Liu Bei had to write a book to ask Zhuge Liang to enter Sichuan from the southeast of Xichuan, while he attacked from Jiameng Pass in the north, attacking in both directions, and striving to quickly defeat Liu Zhang.

Zhuge Liang was also helpless, so he followed Liu Bei's order and left Guan Yu to take charge of the nine counties of Jingxiang. He himself led Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, Wenpin and other powerful generals to go up the river from the west of Jingzhou and headed straight to the west exit!

As soon as Zhuge Liang entered Xichuan, the situation in Xichuan suddenly changed drastically. I thank Liu Zhang for his ability, how could he resist Liu Bei, Kong Ming, Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wen Pin wait for many capable people? He eventually ended up losing territory and trapped the city. Chengdu, where the Sichuan Palace was located, was lost, and his foundation was seized by Liu Bei.

However, although Xichuan was lost, Liu Zhang unexpectedly did not fall into Liu Bei's hands. At the last moment, Xichuan general Zhang Ren led his sons Liu Xun, Liu Xun, Ling Bao, Deng Xian and other loyal generals to Liu Zhang, protected Liu Zhang to escape south and headed straight to the wilderness of the south center.

Liu Bei surrendered the heroes of Xichuan and merged with the heroes of Jingzhou, becoming the powerful lord of Shu. The magnificent lineup was also touching.

At this time, the wise and wise men under Liu Bei's command were already top wise men such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Liao Li, Kuai Yue, Zhang Song, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Huang Quan, and Liu Ba.

In terms of military generals, there are also many outstanding generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Da, Wen Pin, Li Yan, Yan Yan, Xiang Chong, Meng Da, etc.

As for Mi Zhu, Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Yi Ji, Deng Zhi, Li Hui, Pang Xi, Zhang Yi, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, Pei Yuanshao, Fu Tong, Feng Xi, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Fei Shi, Wu Yi, Yang Yi, Wu Ban, Deng Xi, Fu Xun, Song Zhong, Wu Ju, Pang Ji, Wang Can, Huo Jun, Fei Guan, Qin Mi, Zhang Ning and other talented people have reached hundreds, countless.

The next generation of Liu Bei's army, such as Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Guan Suo and other young generals, also grew up under the guise of their fathers, and will compete for the world and show their talents in the near future.

The power of Liu Bei's group suddenly expanded, and in just a short time it became a powerful force that could almost surpass the Central Plains Group when Cao Cao was alive.

After listening to Zhang Ji's overview, Yuan Shang half-closed his eyes and began to think deeply in his heart.

In this way, the current talents of Liu Bei's army are almost the same as those of the Shu Han regime at its peak in history. They spanned Jing and Yi in the southwest half of the southwest, and all the talents were collected. Of course, talents such as Wenpin, Kuai Yue, Shi Tao, Cui Jun and others were somewhat different from those of historical ownership due to some changes in the current situation. However, the talents under Liu Bei's subordinates are basically the same as those of Shu Han in history, with a strong lineup and difficult to deal with.

But in Yuan Shang's mind, the most terrifying problem was not Liu Bei's talents, but the current situation in Jingzhou and Yizhou is far better than history!

In history, Liu Bei took over Jingzhou after the Battle of Chibi. At that time, Jingzhou changed hands, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and many others, and almost all of the main naval forces in Jingzhou were lost to Chibi by Cao Cao. Jingzhou, which Liu Bei took over, was not prosperous... But now it is different. The land of Jingzhou directly transitioned from Liu Biao to Liu Bei, with almost no loss, so it was in its most prosperous period!

The situation in Xichuan is not much different from that in Jingzhou.

The two giant states with the vastest land in the Central Plains and the least war fell into Liu Bei's hands at their most prosperous period. The territory was still those territory, but the strength contained in them was absolutely different from history!

In history, Liu Bei also established Shu Han and Cao Cao with his lost territory strength, and could even drive Cao Cao out of the battle of Hanzhong. If it were not for the failure of the Battle of Yiling, the general trend of the world after Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty... And now Liu Bei has Xichuan and Jingzhou in his heyday, and his power is much stronger than history!

Of course, the current four prefectures of Hebei and Guanzhong are not casual. Hebei, led by Yuan Shang, has never experienced the crushing defeat in Guandu Cangting World War II, and has also taken over the Xianbei and Huns' household registration to supplement the population. Even if Cao Zhi has not been destroyed, the current four prefectures of Hebei will definitely surpass the Cao Wei regime in history!

Although the Guanzhong land was poisoned by Yan Xing, it was integrated by Yuan Shang, and the policy of fostering the Qiang was newly formulated, and the military farming was divided into the Longxi border was moved to Guanzhong for farming. It also absorbed many forces such as Cheliji, the anti-king king Song Jian, the Hanzhong Zhang Lu, and the Yiwang of Bazhou, and received favor and respect from the Di people and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. Although it is currently in ruins, its development prospects are even better than before, which is not small.

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Liu Bei's powerful generals are like Yun. If Guan Yu is not here, I won't talk about him. The rest of Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Wen Pin, and Li Yan are easy to deal with. You need to be careful!"

Pang De bowed and said, "Don't worry, lord! I will save you the loss."

"Let's wait!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw a figure of Xiongkui flashing into the hall from outside the hall. The person who came to Yuan Shang with his head held high, with a stern look on his face and shouted loudly: "Can you be the one who guards Hanzhong?"

When everyone saw the person, they couldn't help but look at me. I looked at you, and they were a little confused in their hearts, thinking to themselves why he was here?

Yuan Shang's right eyelid was beating a little and his heart was a little blocked.

The visitor is none other than Yuan Shang’s father-in-law, Xiahou Yuan, the old Taishan Mountain!

“…………”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "Why are you here?"

Xiahou Yuan thrust his neck and said, "What? You are the Hall of the King of Hell, don't let the living people come?"

Yuan Shang sighed and stood up and said, "Didn't you look at the meeting? You are busy! You are all generals of Yuan, why are you, the general of Cao, here? Go and go, stay wherever you are cool! You go home to say something at night."

Xiahou Yuan waited for a moment and roared, "What? After using it, I turned my back and refused to recognize others! I will kill the donkey!"

Yuan Shang's face was thrusting. He looked like he told Xiahou Yuan that this metaphor was not used well, and it was the type to bury himself.

Xiahou Yuan seemed not to react and still roared: "Little beast! Who did you know who was behind Song Jian? You are still here to show off! Without me, Yan Xing and Song Jian have now rushed to the Western Regions. They come to harm you every few days, and can you still be so peaceful in this place?"

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly and said, "But one code is one code, I'm talking about serious things, my father-in-law, can we not make trouble?"

Xiahou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "What? You are talking about serious matters, and I am talking about slanting truth? I am going to Hanzhong!"

"Why are you going to make trouble?" Yuan Shang was speechless.

"Who made trouble!" Xiahou Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Meng De was defeated by you, but he also died at the hands of the big-eared thief! You are my son-in-law, I can't kill you, I'm sorry to Meng De..."

When Yuan Shang heard this, cold sweat broke out on his head.

"As you said, I haven't been slaughtered yet, so I have to thank you?"

Xiahou Yuan waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite to your family! Although you can't kill you, the big-eared thief is different. That thief was in Xudu back then, so I didn't like him. People who are both nervous in Qin and Chu first followed Tao Qian's husband, and then Lu Bu's traitor. After cheating Meng De, they defected to Yuan Shao's old bastard..."

"uh-huh!"

Yuan Shang coughed heavily and stared at Xiahou Yuan with sharp eyes: "Please pay attention to your words, the old bastard son is here!"

"Oh, I'm sorry... In short, just one sentence, the Big Ear Thief is not a good bird, and it is the murderer who killed Meng De. I will not eliminate him. Heaven and earth cannot tolerate it! Hanzhong is the place where you and the Big Ear Thief are confronted. I ask you to help me and help guard and avenge Meng De!"

Yuan Shang couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan was anxious: "What? After helping you, you will not recognize others? Old man Zhong Yao, you asked him to stay in Chang'an to help Zhao Yun handle the government affairs of Guanzhong. I am your father-in-law, but you can't believe me?"

Yuan Shang sighed long, how could he tell others what he was worried about?

Where did Xiahou Yuan die in history? Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong! And who is the enemy he faces? It is Huang Zhong of Liu Bei's army!

Although history has turned a big turn now, it may not be repeated in the flashbacks like history, but Yuan Shang always feels that it is not that true to let Xiahou Yuan go to Hanzhong to assist in defense. How can this matter be so slutty?

But this concern is his own secret, and he can't tell everyone openly.

After a while of silence, Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't believe you, it's just that in Hanzhong... I don't think it's suitable for you, and it doesn't match your horoscope."

Xiahou Yuan frowned and said, "Are you a problem? I'm going to fight, not a concubine. I have a bullshit relationship with my horoscope?"

“…………”

However, Zhao Yun glanced at Xiahou Yuan next to Yuan Shang, then stood up and said, "Military affairs should not be taken lightly. General Xiahou should go back first. How about this matter wait until I discuss with my lord and then make a decision?"

"You?" Xiahou Yuan glanced at Zhao Yun: "Is it useful to discuss with him?"
To be continued...
