Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

When Jiangdong began to desperately investigate the cause and effect of Zhou Yu's assassination, Zhuge Liang in Chang'an also fell into some doubts.

"What's wrong, Kong Ming?" Li You looked at Zhuge Liang, who suddenly stopped working and looked thoughtful. After finishing the document in his hand, he asked with some curiosity.

"General Zhou's spiritual talent disappeared in my observation." Zhuge Liang frowned and said with obvious doubts on his face.

Theoretically speaking, the disappearance of spiritual talent in Zhuge Liang's observation range can only be death, but considering that it was Zhou Yu, the other party was very likely to be experimenting with something. With the other party's ability, it is not impossible to transcend the observation range of spiritual talent.

So when Zhuge Liang said this, he did not directly say death. After all, the people in Chang'an knew what Zhou Yu was like. It was impossible for him to die just like that. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was more or less confused, and did not think about the assassination of Zhou Yu.

"Ah?" Li You was stunned for a moment. Unlike Zhuge Liang, who would not normally think in this direction, Li You had absolute trust in Zhuge Liang's ability, even more than trust in himself, so Li You did not think that Zhou Yu could easily transcend Zhuge Liang's observation.

Maybe if Zhou Yu wanted to do it, he could indeed do it with some time and effort, but to do this kind of thing, it means that a lot of experiments had been done before the incident, and Zhuge Liang must have a lot of records. In the absence of records, Zhou Yu transcended Zhuge Liang's observation at once. To be honest, Zhuge Liang believed it, but Li You would not believe it.

Li You, who was in such a state of mind, after hearing Zhuge Liang's description, his first reaction was that Zhou Yu died inexplicably, because apart from special means to make the spiritual talent disappear from Zhuge Liang's observation range, there were only two possibilities left: betraying the Han Dynasty and no longer being Zhuge Liang's friendly army, and the possibility of death. Compared with the former, the possibility of death is obviously greater.

"What's wrong, Master Li?" Zhuge Liang looked at Li You's suddenly changed expression and realized what Li You was thinking about, but in Zhuge Liang's opinion, this possibility was very small.

"For this kind of thing, let Zichuan come over. I don't think it's what you think." Li You lowered his eyebrows and said with a solemn look. Zhuge Liang was somewhat silent after hearing this. If there were other possibilities, it would really be a big deal.

In Northern Europe, Sun Ce, who had repelled Odin, suddenly felt a little palpitation. He looked around and didn't find anything strange. He used his blank brain to think about it, but he didn't think of anything. He just naturally appeared Zhou Yu's face. Sun Ce shook his head and suppressed the panic that occasionally appeared in his heart.

"Zhou Yu's spiritual talent disappeared during Kong Ming's observation?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. What kind of operation was this? Although he didn't know what was going on, Liu Bei's first reaction was that something big had happened. Zhou Yu was dead, not that Zhou Yu had come up with some special means that went beyond his own observation range as Zhuge Liang estimated.

"Let Zhongkang go." Liu Bei, who rarely went to inspect the local area and was at home taking care of the children to stabilize people's hearts, saw that the government sent people out of the palace, and brought Liu Chan with him out of curiosity. After hearing such explosive news, Liu Bei, who rushed over, was a little numb. What was Zhou Yu doing?

"Send Zhongkang directly to Ye Diao City?" Li You was somewhat hesitant when he received Liu Bei's order. If Zhou Yu really had a problem, Xu Chu might not be able to solve it.

"Jiangdong will not have a problem. It can only be that Zhou Yu had an accident." Liu Bei said to Li You with a calm expression, not taking Li You's worries to heart.

"Okay." Zhuge Liang only thought about it for a while, then accepted Liu Bei's suggestion, and then looked at Liu Chan beside him with a smile on his face.

"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will take Adou with me for a while, and those veterans from East Africa will need to come to Chang'an first when they return later, so it's just right to meet them and recognize them." Liu Bei said cheerfully, pretending that he knew nothing, but this recognition, how to say, it's hard to say whether it's to let Liu Chan recognize the other party, or to let those people recognize Liu Chan.

"Adou, how many of the guards in Chang'an do you know now?" Li You drafted the document, stamped it, and asked the palace guards to send it to Xu Chu's house. Liu Bei didn't wander around today, and he didn't need Xu Chu to guard him all the time in Chang'an City, so he could only let the guards go to notify him, but Li You saw that Liu Bei was not working, and asked Liu Chan casually.

Compared with those imperial tactics, Li You now thinks that Liu Bei's method of identifying people is more reliable. On the one hand, it can effectively grasp various domestic and foreign intelligence, and on the other hand, it can also control the upper and lower veins of the army and ensure the stability of military power.

Li You thought that if Liu Chan inherited this ability, then Liu Yong would have to call him brother, not to mention that he had opened his spiritual talent. Even if Liu Yong was the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu, he would have to call him brother.

When Liu Bei heard what Li You said, he also realized something. To be honest, Liu Bei was also blind to what he had learned. He didn't realize what his strongest skill in his life was. Knowing people is one aspect, and knowing people is another!

Liu Bei can now recognize almost all the leaders of the Han Empire, and because he knows more people, he has already constructed the interpersonal relationships of these people in his brain. If he maintains them from time to time, these interpersonal relationships can be updated. It's simply outrageous.

"I should know more than 400 guards now." Liu Chan thought for a while and said. He was not talking nonsense in this regard. On the one hand, his father occasionally took him there, and he would chat with the other party and introduce them, and he would remember them. On the other hand, he often got to know them when he climbed over the wall and saw their faces.

After all, Liu Chan was a bit useless, but he was really kind-hearted and didn't have too much airs. In addition, the guards in Chang'an were all rotated tough guys. They belonged to the captains and Liu Bei knew them. So when Liu Bei took Liu Chan with him, he would chat with them when he met them. Liu Chan was sweet and called him uncle or brother, which was also considered to be meeting people. After a long time, Liu Chan really knew so many people.

"More than 400?" Zhuge Liang turned his head and counted in his heart, "It's really good to know so many Chang'an guards. Keep working hard in the future."

Although there are only more than 400 people, according to the level of the Chang'an Guards, these 400 people form a team, and with Liu Chan's friends, it is enough to form the emperor's six divisions. As the emperor, if he can know the backbone of the emperor's six divisions when he has money to pay salaries, then there will be no problem in sitting on the throne.

"Speaking of which, are there only two of you in the government today?" Liu Bei asked with some curiosity.

Liu Bei was also very satisfied that Liu Chan could know more than 400 guards. Given Liu Chan's situation, he would not lie about such things. Therefore, being able to know more than 400 guards means that Liu Bei's senses are at least stronger than Cao Cao's. Thinking back to the days when Cao Cao remembered five, six, seven or eight hundred people, he couldn't match them up, and even the soldiers he remembered in the early days were confused later.

Combined with Liu Chan's generous character and ability to judge people, Liu Bei thought that his eldest son was still very reliable.

"Normally, if there is no major event, we are not together. Only when Zichuan appears, we will gather everyone together to deal with certain things. After that, we usually go back to our respective government offices to gather our men to work. Normally, there is only Kong Ming here." Li You pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "Actually, I am also in Lantai normally."

"Lantai Yushi, I understand, I understand." Liu Bei said casually.

Li You also smiled when he saw this. To be honest, he, the Lantai Yushi, is very jealous, but now the aristocratic families who have the ability to confront Li You have no time to envy Li You, so Li You is naturally very chic now, doing the right things and moving forward step by step.

"What's the situation in Central Asia recently?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked. Chen Xi was slowly removing his traces. Zhuge Liang was currently in charge of national affairs, but some things still required Chen Xi to make decisions, so if there was anything, he could ask Zhuge Liang directly.

"Not very good. After the locusts were eliminated, the remaining locusts have crossed the Red Sea, and Central Asia has entered the third round of locust plagues." Zhuge Liang pulled out the intelligence sent back by the observation post established in Central Asia, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.

??????55.??????

"How long can the Central Asian family hold on?" Liu Bei frowned when he heard this. The scale of the three rounds of locust plagues has been reduced to tens of billions after the joint weakening of the three empires, but even if it is tens of billions, it is still an irresistible natural disaster for the Central Asian family.

"The Zhao, Cui, and Guo families, who had the biggest food shortages before, have obtained some food from other channels. They are currently urging for food and grass, but according to current estimates, there should be no problem." Zhuge Liang took out the three urgent food and grass requests issued by the Central Asian families, and also took out the disposal plan for the Zhen family, indicating that this matter can be put to an end first.

After all, those who can still shout loudly that they have no food are the kind who can survive.

"I heard that the family that got food from Midia was blackmailed by other families?" Liu Bei took the official document handed over by Zhuge Liang, took a look and asked.

The Zhao and Cui families joined forces to capture Midia and fill their own food and grass gaps. Although Hafutan came late, he came after all and ate some leftovers. However, Hafutan himself was a wild dog and didn't care about these. In addition, the Zhao and Cui families were also deeply afraid of Hafutan's combat effectiveness, so they used the Zhen family's supplies as a favor and gave Guo Liuyin one-tenth.

So Guo Zhao returned actively and stayed in the Media Trading City. After all, there was no house on his fiefdom now, so he could use this place as a shelter. The Zhao and Cui families had no good solution to this, so they could only accept it.

It can be said that these three families have completely solved the food problem and can continue to survive. Then the Zhao family, which returned with a full load, was blocked by the Taiyuan Wang family, and the Cui family was blocked by the Yang family.

The two families were not cruel, but just asked for the rationing system. The Zhao and Cui families should give themselves as much as they wanted, and our family should be calculated as one-third.

Compared with the struggle of the Cui family, Zhao Jian was much more direct. He didn't say a word and let Wang Xiang clarify it himself. Wang Xiang took the Wang family's people in just one morning and took away the part of the food and grass he needed. During this period, the Wang family and the Zhao family did not communicate at all, but Wang Xiang knew very well that if there was no wrangling, it would all be human feelings.

As for the debt of favor, it is not worth much at all. But if it is valuable, it is when it comes to such a wealthy family, especially those with whom one rarely has dealings but who value trust and integrity. Just look at the food that Zhao Jian gave this time. At least when the Zhao family encounters a major incident and is wiped out, the Wang family must protect one of the Zhao family's children.

If things go wrong, the Wang family will have to help the fallen Zhao family to redress their wrongdoings after raising and educating the child, and then let the child establish his family again.

Many people in the Zhao family were actually dissatisfied with Zhao Jian for handing over the grain to the Wang family, but considering that it was Zhao Jian who acted decisively and led his own army to attack Media and seize Media, which led to the current situation, they didn't say anything.

As for the Cui family, the Cui family and the Yang family actually argued for a long time. The relationship between the two sides was very complicated. There was a comradeship, but there were also mutual hindrances and mutual sanctions. But in the end, after hesitating again and again, the Cui family still gave the Yang family some grain and grass, but this part of the grain and grass was not enough, so it could only be said that it allowed the Yang family to hold on for a little longer.

Liu Bei's own intelligence system basically relies on word of mouth, but it can't resist the wide range of sources, plus the brothers who dare to tell Liu Bei, basically they won't talk nonsense, so the accuracy rate is also quite high. After all, there are always some brothers who can run faster than the official documents of the post station and give some outrageous news in advance.

After all, there are really people who can run thousands of miles away, punch in at work in Chang'an, eat in Luoyang, patrol in Weiyang Palace, and fish in the Yangtze River.

Especially the guards in Chang'an, because Huang Tao is too aggressive, they specially arranged a group of brothers for Huang Tao. It's amazing to run fast. Well, you are really amazing. I really can't run faster than you, but I can't find a third one of your level, but you can find ten generals of the same level.

That's right, just like what the Minister of Agriculture told Huang Tao at that time, the field missions assigned to the Imperial Guards are not for you to take to earn field subsidies, but for the Imperial Guards to lead the appropriate field missions to return home every month to show the country's care.

Huang Tao inadvertently earned too much, resulting in many Imperial Guards brothers not returning home for half a year. Earlier, I thought that my fellow villagers had something to do recently and returned more frequently. As a result, when I asked back, it turned out that the brothers of my fellow villagers had not returned recently. After asking again, it turned out that the brothers of the entire Imperial Guards basically did not return?

What a bullshit, the Sima who was airborne is not a human being, right? OK, roll him!

Therefore, the speed of intelligence coming from various places recently is so fast. The brothers of the Imperial Guards help those brothers who run fast to roll Huang Tao, and even specially find brothers who run fast from local areas to come to study and continue to roll Huang Tao, but at present, it seems that they can only rely on numbers to barely suppress Huang Tao.

There is no way. In terms of mobility, Huang Tao is a highly mobile internal energy out of the body, and he has a clone. The brother who runs fast in normal thinking can't catch up with Huang Tao.

After Liu Bei knew about this privately, he planned to call Huang Tao and those people together for a big competition, and then talk about the matter, give both sides a step down, and wait for half a year, and transfer Huang Tao to the local area to serve as a county lieutenant or the military service general of Yuzhou.

However, it seems that the imperial guards in Chang'an may have realized that Huang Tao is not a little bit fast, and some of them admitted defeat and planned to invite Huang Tao to drink and stop the internal competition. So in the next two years, Huang Tao is likely to be the Sima of the imperial guards in Chang'an.

Although this official position is only 600 stones, what can I say, it is normal for a Beijing official to be three levels higher, not to mention the kind of person who leads troops.

"The food problem now mainly occurs in the families of Chenjun Yuan and Hongnong Yang?" Liu Bei asked after looking at the official document, and Zhuge Liang nodded.

"The supplies have not arrived yet?" Liu Bei asked with a cold light in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang did not answer, but Liu Bei already understood.

"How long can the Yang and Yuan families hold out?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.

"When the supplies arrive, the Yang and Yuan families should just be out of food." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, of course, if this sentence is said in reverse, that is, only when the Yang and Yuan families really have no food, Sima Lang's food will arrive. In other words, if the negotiation fails, Sima Lang's food will only arrive when the Yang and Yuan families have no food.

Then the question is, will there be any problems with Sima Lang's judgment?

"You didn't care?" At this moment, Liu Bei's face became extremely cold, and he even looked at Li You with a bit of coldness. As a guy who had made straw sandals and suffered from hunger, Liu Bei knew very well how terrible hunger was. What's more, the people under the rule of Chenjun Yuan and Hongnong Yang were not naturalized Anxi people. There were more than 100,000 Han people alone.

"We are waiting for Sima Lang to be assassinated." Li You said very calmly, "Sometimes a cruel stabbing in the street can best alert the bureaucracy and let them understand what to do and what not to do. The legal treatment does not have this effect."

What scares the bureaucracy the most? Is it that members of the bureaucracy are dealt with by members of the same bureaucracy? No!

What scares the bureaucracy the most is that they think they are the sons of a rich family, are very important, and hold power, but they are stabbed to death on the street by the despised grass, ants, and common people.

Because the former is a struggle of a few people, the operation of the self-proclaimed civilized superiors, while the latter will reveal the essence of this world - the most ordinary and silent people are the basis for overturning everything.

"You?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.

But before Liu Bei could get angry, Zhuge Liang had already explained, "It was the choice made by the Yuan family and the Yang family."

The first half of the year is over, and it feels like time has passed so fast.
