Great Wei Nengchen

Seeing that half of the people refused to bow down, Liu Bei felt embarrassed. The golden seal was right in front of him.

Pang Tong still had a solution. Seeing that some people refused to give in, he secretly winked at Jian Yong and stretched out three fingers. The latter immediately got out of the crowd and went to rescue the soldiers...

"My elder brother is the uncle of the current emperor, the royal family, the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon. Let alone the little Yizhou shepherd, why not become a king on his own?"

A moment later, there was a thunderous roar. Zhang Fei was wearing iron armor and holding a zhangba snake spear. He commanded thousands of soldiers and surrounded Changdi Pavilion heavily.

Obviously, whoever doesn't surrender to the new lord today is feeling attached to the old lord, so let's go with the old lord. Those who have already given the ring to kill don't mind killing a few more!

"Alas!--Everyone, admit it!"

Li Hui, Fei Guan and the others looked at each other under the imminent approach of the sword, and they lowered their bodies helplessly, either sitting on the ground or squatting on the ground, but they still refused to kneel down to salute, let alone call out the Lord, force Can bend the knees, but not the heart.

"Thanks to everyone for not giving up, Bei Wei has been ordered to take the position of Yizhou Mu for the time being. After the Cao army is defeated and the situation is calm, please recommend a sage to take over!"

In this way, next to the corpses of the brothers of the same clan, amidst the thunder and lightning, Liu Bei took over the golden seal and officially announced his successor as Yizhou Mu.

........................................................................

"The incense burns hot, the dharma world is smoky, and the sea of ​​Buddhas will be heard from afar, and auspicious clouds form everywhere, sincerity is strong, and the Buddhas appear all over their bodies."

"At that time, in the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas Mahasattvas, who can't be said, all came to gather. Praise Sakyamuni Buddha, who can survive the evil world of five turbidities!"

…………

In the middle of the night, the lobby of the Jiangzhou prefect's mansion has been decorated as a mourning hall, with tall white curtains and pairs of elegiac couplets. Even the surrounding pillars, doors, windows, furniture, utensils... are all covered with white cloth.

In the middle is a golden nanmu coffin, which is covered with two layers of inner coffin. Liu Zhang's body is lying in it. It has been cleaned carefully and replaced with a shroud with patterns of cranes and auspicious clouds. With a thick layer of powder, it looks like I fell asleep!

In front of the coffin are pig, ox, and sheep tribute offerings, as well as steamed buns, snacks, and fruits... All offerings are singular, and they are arranged in order of priority. This is also one of the customs of the Han family. Yang, if it is placed wrongly, the soul cannot enjoy it, and it will entrust nightmares to the living.

There are also dozens of monks, wearing cassocks, sitting cross-legged, reciting the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows Sutra", which is used to save Liu Zhang's soul and enter the Paradise of Paradise early. With the mass extermination of Buddha in the Central Plains, Bashu is now a temple There are many monks and nuns everywhere!

"Brother... Wuwu, you should go to the bliss early, who is behind the scenes, I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes!"

Liu Bei, dressed in linen and mourning, holding a mourning stick, has been kneeling in the hall for two days, burning paper money one by one, crying and howling a few times to show that he is heartbroken.

Logically speaking, the immediate relatives of his wife and children should guard the spirit, but Liu Zhang's family members are all in Chengdu, and the journey is far away, making it difficult to come here. revenge!

Hence, Liu Bei acted as the guardian of the spirit as a younger brother of the family, and wanted to prove the legitimacy of his succession as Yizhou Mu, and at the same time win back some people's hearts!

Although this kind of behavior of crying cats and mice can't deceive many people, and it doesn't have much effect, but it is better than nothing!

"Report to my lord, I have found some clues!"

"how?"

"He died from a strange poison in his body, but the toxicity is very complicated, and the doctors can't identify it. They just say it doesn't look like something that should exist in the world!"

"Where do things that don't look like human beings come from?"

Pang Tong walked into the mourning hall and whispered in Liu Bei's ear that when he collected the corpses, he specially recruited the soldiers who accompanied the army, as well as more than a dozen famous doctors from Berkshire. He wanted to find out the cause of Liu Zhang's death, and he had better find something clues, and then find the real culprit behind the scenes!

You know, it is the same poisoning and killing, and different classes have their own habits: folks often use arsenic, officials drink poisonous wine, and royal families use crane crest red, peacock gall, etc., and the origin, year, and preparation process of poisons are also different. You can see the way!

The doctors took the blood from the corpse and tested it with various methods, but found nothing. The blood did contain severe poison, but it was not insect poison, mineral poison, or grass poison...

It is a kind of strange poison that has never been heard or seen before. If the residual poison is fed to kittens and puppies, there is no abnormality on the first day, but suddenly the seven orifices bleed to death on the second day. The death process is silent and painless.

Even the old doctor who has practiced medicine for decades has never seen such a colorless, odorless, strange poison that can lurk for more than twelve hours and kill people, so naturally he can't find the source.

"You don't need to look any further. The person who blamed this emperor's uncle is most likely a little black face. Only he can do things seamlessly, and only he can produce this kind of strange poison!"

The hero of Liu Beishi, there are very few people in the world who can cheat him, Xiao Yi is one of them, and he is the one who cheats the most times and is the most powerful. Shouchun, Xuchang, Hebei, Jingzhou... every time he digs a hole, no There is no hit!

So much so that Liu Bei had nightmares again and again, becoming a lingering shadow, and this time he was tricked by someone again, naturally he thought of Xiao Yi first, and there are countless strange people in Zhengming Academy, and he has researched many novel things!

There are delicate and labor-saving agricultural tools, powerful killing weapons, beautiful utensils, and hidden weapons and poisons that kill people invisible!

It must be that Xiao Yi secretly sent someone to ambush on the way of escort, or bribed the soldiers of the army, tampered with Liu Zhang's food, and then pinned the black pot on Liu Bei's head...

So what if you think about it, there is no evidence or physical evidence, the ingredients of the poison are not clear, and you don't know when the poison was poisoned. You can only eat this dumb loss yourself!

Thinking about it a step further, since Xiao Yi was able to send someone to poison Liu Zhang to death without a trace, would he use the same method to deal with other dislikes?

Therefore, in addition to fear, Liu Bei issued another strict order:

"From now on, the food and drinking water of myself and the civil and military officials must be carefully inspected, and then I can find someone to try it before I can eat it with confidence. It is better to eat leftovers, cold rice, and sour rice... It is better than losing your life." Bar?

Eating leftovers is secondary, the most important thing now is how to take down Chengdu City and become a veritable master of Bashu!

Chapter 1533 Send troops from seven routes!

Although Liu Zhang is dead, the Bashu Group is still alive, and it still controls the Yizhou government-Chengdu City, as well as the rich territories of Shu County, Guanghan County, and Qianwei County.

Liu Zhang also has two sons, both of whom have grown up. The eldest son, Liu Xun, has a strong personality and is skilled in bows and horses. He is now commanding the army in the important town of Luocheng; .

Once the news of Liu Zhang's death came back, how could his two sons give up and go to Jiangzhou City to take revenge with the troops of the three western counties?

Or he would submit to Xiao Yi and use Cao Jun's powerful strength to avenge his father's death, that would be even more difficult to deal with.

The top priority is to quickly occupy the city of Chengdu and annex the Bashu Group. However, the strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the Chengdu side occupies a favorable location. It will not be easy for Liu Bei's side to win unless they disintegrate the enemy from within.

"How is Mr. Gongyou's persuasion? Are they willing to turn to the light and assist the new master?"

"While Liu Bei was guarding the spirit, he let the chief book-Sun Qian act as a lobbyist to lobby Fei Guan, Li Yan, Wu Ban and others, hoping to let go of their prejudices and return to his command!

These people are all important ministers of the Bashu Group and representatives of the Bashu gentry. If they can surrender, it will be easy to take Chengdu by themselves.

"There's a little trouble, Mr. Gongyou has spent all his time talking, these people just refuse to submit, but a few of them seem to show signs of softening, and raising the price should be able to win them over!

First of all, Li Yan, who is talented in both civil and military affairs, is somewhat overqualified under Liu Zhang, so he is always dissatisfied.

Followed by Wu Yi, Wu Ban brothers, most of the soldiers and horses of Qianwei County are commanded by these two. If they can surrender, the lord will send troops to take Chengdu, and the road will be unimpeded!

I heard that they have a widowed sister who looks like an alluring city and country, and looks like a rich man. If the lord can favor one or two, and then marry Qin and Jin, the two brothers will be very grateful and swear to be loyal to the lord to the death!

These three people are the core of the Bashu Group's important ministers. As long as they surrender, the rest will follow suit, so Chengdu can be obtained and Bashu can be settled! "

In order to successfully take down Chengdu, Pang Tong put in a lot of effort. He not only studied the topography of Bashu, but also studied the characters from all sides of Bashu, knowing their backgrounds, personalities, and abilities like the back of their hands!

Especially those who came from the gentry, don't look at each of them in a dignified manner, and put on a posture of loyal ministers and no two masters. In fact, it is not how loyal they are, but that the price of surrender is not high enough.

The gentry are all interested in profit, as long as the price is high enough, it is nothing for the seller to ask for glory or treachery. Even if they are sent to a brothel and become "rabbit masters" for a few days, they will not shake their heads and refuse.

"The strategy of Shiyuan is feasible, and then let Gongyou tell those people that as long as they are willing to surrender, high-ranking officials and rich salary will be just around the corner. If you really don't want to be an official, I will not force you. You can send them to the countryside for resettlement and enjoy leisurely happiness. Just don't rely on Cao thief!"

Liu Bei nodded in approval, as long as he can win Chengdu and successfully become the master of Bashu, he doesn't mind throwing out a few official titles and marrying a beautiful widow.
