Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

The change in mentality affected Chen Xi's subsequent action. He was ready to have a good talk with Liu Bei and thoroughly show his ideal blueprint and plan.

If Liu Bei was willing to listen, he would help Liu Bei unify the world, otherwise he would not care about anything.

If Liu Bei did not change, the outcome of the Three Kingdoms would not change. Instead of wasting time here, he might as well go to the border to raise a team to fight nomadic peoples.

The basic goal Chen Xi set for himself was to prevent the Five Barbarians from invading China, and the ultimate goal was to help Liu Bei reform, and then unify the world and restore the Han Dynasty.

When Chen Xi returned to Jiangxia, the whole Jiangxia was busy. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang sat firmly in the central army, waiting for news to be sent back at any time.

At home, Kawakami Tomie accompanied Huang, and Zhuge Zhan slept soundly, not affected by the solemn atmosphere in Jiangxia City.

Zhao Yun went out to pursue Cao Jun, and Zhuge Jun was responsible for the public security of Jiangxia City to prevent Cao Jun's spies in the city from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

The outcome of the Battle of Chibi did not change much. Cao Cao still escaped and returned to Xudu, leaving Cao Ren to guard Jingzhou.

Zhou Yu also led his army back to Chaisang to prepare for the subsequent war. With Cao Cao gone, Jingzhou was the meat on Jiangdong's lips, ready to be eaten at any time.

Zhou Yu set his sights on Jiangling, the important town of Jingzhou.

Liu Bei knew that his strength was not enough to snatch food from Jiangdong, so he retreated and set his sights on the four counties in southern Jingzhou.

Chen Xi was still secretly training those young men, while Liu Bei was stationed in Jiangxia and sent his generals to capture the four counties in southern Jingzhou.

At this time, Liu Qi was still the nominal governor of Jingzhou, and Liu Bei wrote to the court to win it for Liu Qi.

But Liu Qi himself was a person who did not care about things. He was afraid of Cao's army before and did not dare to care. Now that Cao's army has retreated, even if he wants to care, he has no chance to care.

The personnel left by Liu Biao and the Jingzhou nobles have all defected to Cao Cao. Liu Qi has no one to use, and no one listens to what he says.

Liu Qi also thought it through. Whatever happens, I can live a life of drunkenness and dreams. It doesn't matter how I live.

If I can live a life without worries and have no shortage of fancy clothes and delicious food, then what does it matter whether I am in power or not?

Liu Qi has no ambitions. Liu Bei has given him all the respect he deserves, and the treatment he deserves is not bad at all. To put it bluntly, Liu Qi doesn't have to worry about anything. He just eats, drinks and has fun every day.

This is simply the life that many people dream of.

As long as there are no ideals and pursuits in the heart, playing badly is the most comfortable state of life.

Liu Qi deeply agrees with this, and his life will be mainly playing badly in the future.

Don't come to me if you have nothing to do, and don't come to me if you have something to do, go to my uncle.

Zhou Yu led his army to attack Jiangling, and fought back and forth with Cao Ren. As an important town in Jingzhou, Jiangling is not so easy to take down.

Sun Quan did not have any extra reinforcements. He now had to focus on guarding Moling and Ruxukou. Cao Cao sent Zhang Liao to guard Huainan, which was obviously ill-intentioned.

Cao's army had just suffered a great defeat and morale was low. Zhang Liao had just arrived in Huainan. Based on the idea that the best defense is offense, Sun Quan took the lead in attacking Hefei.

Zhou Yu had not yet taken Jiangling, and Sun Quan was beaten by Zhang Liao and almost died in Hefei.

Liu Bei also took the four counties of Jingnan as he wished, and also accepted two fierce generals, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, to reorganize his own forces.

At this time, Liu Bei's power could not be underestimated, and even Sun Quan was a little afraid of him.

Zhou Yu was injured and used a trick of faking his death to trick Cao Ren out. The two sides fought a big battle, and Jiangling was stolen by Liu Bei. When Zhou Yu got the news, he was so angry that he spit out blood and fainted on the ground.

I have been fighting Jiangling for almost a year, and I have suffered heavy losses. I am about to succeed, but you Liu Bei come out to pick peaches. How can this be tolerated!

The forces in Jiangdong hate Liu Bei deeply, and they all clamor to teach Liu Bei a lesson. Unfortunately, Sun Quan lost to Zhang Liao, and Zhou Yu also suffered heavy losses. They really have no confidence in defeating Liu Bei.

Since they can't fight, let's negotiate. Liu Bei can't be a man without any moral principles, right?

After constant consultations, the two sides finally reached an agreement, which is the famous Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou.

The Jiangdong side also knew that this was just a face-saving effort. People didn't want to pay it back at all, but it was still an explanation.

Cao Cao, who was far away in Xudu, was shocked when he learned that Liu Bei had taken control of the four counties of Jiangling, Jiangxia and Jingnan. He was completely finished.

Liu Bei was so difficult to deal with when he had no territory. Now that he has a stable base, it will be even more difficult to eliminate Liu Bei in the future.

Liu Bei's territory is mainly Jingzhou now, so the reform cannot be done. Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Chen Xi have studied this matter privately.

The three people have unified their thoughts and will not move for the time being, and will wait until Yizhou is taken.

Under the brainwashing of Chen Xi and Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei also gave up and did it!

As long as Yizhou is in hand, Liu Bei can give up Jingzhou, not to mention that it is not 100% certain that he will lose the territory, it is just a reform.

For the sake of long-term stability, Liu Bei has to do this, otherwise even if he restores the Han Dynasty, he will be led by the nose by the aristocracy.

With Liu Bei's approval, Chen Xi was completely relieved and joined Liu Bei's camp.

Zhuge Liang was in charge of all affairs, and Chen Xi secretly cultivated talents. Pang Tong also came to Liu Bei at this time. Because Zhuge Liang was present, there was no moth of judging people by appearance, and he was reused when he came.

In addition, Chen Xi also sent a shadow guard to sneak into Xudu and steal Xu Shu back.

Xu Shu's mother was dead, and he was just a decoration in Cao's camp. Cao Cao was keeping a close eye on him. He would rather Xu Shu not say a word than let this guy work for Liu Bei.

Cao Cao did not expect that after deceiving Xu Shu for several years, Liu Bei would still not give up and abandon him.

The shadow guard kidnapped Xu Shu, and Cao Cao was so angry that his headache came back and he had a terrible headache.

After Xu Shu returned to Liu Bei, he burst into unprecedented enthusiasm with only one purpose, revenge!

If it weren't for Cao Cao, his mother would not have died. Xu Shu hated Cao Cao deeply, and I will fight with you in this life.

At the suggestion of Chen Xi, Liu Bei established a special forces unit named Jinyiwei. The first commander of Jinyiwei was the shadow guard, which was basically his old profession.

Zhuge Jun became the deputy of the shadow guard, and the Jinyiwei would be handed over to Zhuge Jun for management in the future.

Because the young men trained by Chen Xi are not only talented in literature, but also in martial arts. After training, these good seedlings will all be pioneers, and it is most appropriate to use them to form a special force.

In the future, the shadow guard will step down from the position of Jinyiwei commander, specialize in managing the special forces, and conduct a series of special agent activities.

Liu Bei's seat of government was also moved from Jiangxia to Jiangling, and the troops were basically concentrated in Jiangling, targeting Cao's army in Xiangfan.

Cao Ren retreated to Xiangfan and defended there, building countless fortifications, fearing that Liu Bei would attack.

Cao Cao was not idle either, and sent various people to alienate the relationship between Sun and Liu. In fact, if he didn't alienate them, Sun Quan would not have a good impression of Liu Bei.

Originally, Sun Quan thought he could accept Liu Bei as a younger brother, after all, Liu Bei's strength was not good, but now the situation has changed.

Liu Bei's territory is no less than Jiangdong, and the key is that he also occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which is very bad.

It can be said that Cao Cao's intention to kill Liu Bei was probably not as serious as Sun Quan's.

He wanted to kill Liu Bei, but he didn't have the strength. If he really fought, both sides would suffer, and Cao Cao would benefit in the end.

Sun Quan was also afraid of the consequences, so he had to continue to maintain an alliance with Liu Bei, at least in this way he could defend Cao Cao wholeheartedly.

Under Zhou Yu's persuasion, Sun Quan further deepened his cooperation with Liu Bei and married his sister to Liu Bei. He originally wanted to detain the other party, but Liu Bei ran away.

Sun Quan was very angry, but he couldn't do anything to Liu Bei, especially after Zhou Yu's old injury recurred and died, he was even more helpless.

The three forces rarely entered a stable period. Occasionally, small conflicts did not count, and no one wanted to start a large-scale war.

Liu Bei was developing in a hurry and had no time to expand outward.

Sun Quan couldn't find a suitable target even if he wanted to expand, and was blocked by Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Cao Cao stabilized the rear area. Since the defeat in the Battle of Chibi, the restless factors in the court have become active again.

Ma Teng is still eyeing the northwest direction. I think this guy was included in the Yidaizhao in the past.

Cao Cao can't rest easy if Ma Teng is not eliminated.

In Liu Bei's territory, the Jinyiwei gradually took shape and played its due role. They inquired about various intelligence. There were spies of Jinyiwei hidden in the families of the nobles in Jingzhou.

Zhuge Jun learned quickly from the shadow guards and it won't take long for him to get started directly.

Originally, everything was calm, but at this time, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong jumped out and proclaimed himself the King of Hanning. In order to show his strength, he prepared to attack Yizhou.

Anyway, Zhang Lu and Yizhou don't get along.

I don't know where Zhang Lu got his confidence from. He has no generals and not many troops, but he dares to take the initiative to attack Yizhou.

What's more amazing is that Liu Zhang, the governor of Yizhou, is really afraid.

Liu Zhang was an outsider. His father Liu Yan was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, so he came to Yizhou. He had a bad relationship with the local nobles.

After Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang took over the position of governor of Yizhou. He did not trust the local nobles of Yizhou, and he did not have a private armed force.

This is very similar to Liu Qi. He only had a good name, and the real power was still in the hands of the Yizhou nobles.

So Zhang Lu wanted to attack Yizhou, and Liu Zhang was most afraid that the local nobles of Yizhou would sell him out, so he thought of asking for help.

If you ask who is the most powerful in the world, it is undoubtedly Cao Cao.

Liu Zhang sent Zhang Song to meet Cao Cao, but he was coldly received. On the way back, he was intercepted by Liu Bei who had been waiting for a long time.

As a relative of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei would definitely not attack Yizhou for no reason. Zhang Song's arrival was equivalent to delivering a ready-made reason to his door, and he was overjoyed.

The nobles of Yizhou were not happy. Zhang Song's behavior was simply to invite thieves in.

Liu Zhang didn't care about that. To him, Liu Bei was more trustworthy than the local nobles.

Liu Zhang also had his own ideas. Liu Bei had no foundation in Yizhou. What was he afraid of? He let Liu Bei deal with Zhang Lu.

With Liu Bei, he could also deter the nobles of Yizhou. If there was something dirty between the two sides, he, Liu Zhang, could sit on the Diaoyutai.

Everyone had his own calculations, and Liu Bei wanted more.

Cao Cao was definitely not happy to see Liu Bei enter Yizhou, but he couldn't take care of Liu Bei now. After he designed to kill Ma Teng, Ma Chao rebelled.

Cao Cao's main energy was to deal with Ma Chao's army. In order to make things difficult for Liu Bei, he simply sent envoys to lobby Jiangdong.

Jiangdong sent people to make trouble for Liu Bei and ask for Jingzhou.

After another round of wrangling, Liu Bei compromised and promised to return all of Jingzhou to Jiangdong after taking Yizhou.

In order to show his sincerity, Liu Bei took the initiative to give Jiangxia to Jiangdong.

Jiangxia is poisonous. This place is adjacent to Xiangfan in the north. Taking Jiangxia is equivalent to facing Cao's army directly, but this bait is too tempting, and Sun Quan is reluctant to give it up.

The Jiangdong Group, which originally had not many troops, had to allocate part of its troops to guard Jiangxia to prevent Cao's army from suddenly attacking.

The remaining troops defended Ruxukou, and the troops left in Chaisang defended Liu Bei.

After the troops were dispersed in this way, the Jiangdong Group could only defend. It couldn't attack because it didn't have so many troops.

What's more, the second Grand Commander Lu Su was still a peace advocate. He didn't want to deal with Liu Bei at all, and the two sides entered a period of peace again.

If Jiangdong didn't cause trouble for Liu Bei, Liu Bei could attack Yizhou with peace of mind.

A lot of things have happened in the past few years. Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou, wasted his life. The current governor of Jingzhou is Liu Bei, who wrote to the court.

Zhao Yun, the old bachelor, finally got married.

Huang also gave birth to another son, named Zhuge Huai. Zhuge Liang wanted to adopt him to Chen Xi, but the latter did not agree.

Chen Xi did not care about whether the family would be extinct, and he did not have the clan inheritance idea of ​​this era.

Chen Xi did not agree, so Zhuge Liang did not force it.

Zhuge Zhan was thrown to Chen Xi for teaching after he was three years old. Starting from the "Five Animals Health-preserving Exercise", two versions of pills were also arranged. It was bound to make this kid both civil and military.

Zhuge Jun also got married, married a young lady from a noble family in Jingzhou, and gave birth to a son, less than a month after Zhuge Huai, named Zhuge Long, in gratitude to Chen Xi's family who met in Longzhong.

Those trained in Chen Xi's school are still studying, and the geniuses with good grades have been arranged for internships and started to help handle affairs.

Once the nobles are taken down in the future, these talents will take over the work of local governance.

Because of this job, Chen Xi became the king of children. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and other officials' children, as long as they were about the same age, were sent to him.

Guan Xing, Guan Suo, Zhang Bao, the hope of the future Shu Han, are all good children here with Chen Xi.

They have to be good, Chen Xi will really beat them up.

Don't think about going back to complain, that will only get you beaten again, who made them disobedient.
