Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [182] Emptiness Of Liu Bei

Hanzhong.

From the rugged mountain road to the solid and flat land, Liu Bei stepped on the ground, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"What a fertile land!" Liu Bei looked at the gratifying crops, and frowned again: "It's a pity that people are too lazy to clean up the weeds in the field, which will greatly hinder the growth of the crops."

Liu Bei also came from a poor background. He has even done the business of weaving mats and selling shoes, and he is very familiar with farm work.

The crops in the field are growing well because they have received sufficient irrigation after spring plowing. As for the weeds, there is naturally no one in Hanzhong, and the land is naturally left untended.

However, Liu Bei has never seen such a state of good growth and overgrown weeds.

Either it grows well and there is no grass in the field; or there is grass in the field and the crops grow poorly.

"Perhaps the land of Longxing in Hanzhong was blessed by the late emperor of the Han Dynasty to have such rich land." Unable to figure it out, Liu Bei could only attribute the credit to his ancestors in order to explain the strangeness in the field. Phenomenon.

"People here are really lazy, and no one goes to work in the field during the day." Zhang Fei couldn't help complaining: "No wonder there are so many weeds in the field.

"Third brother, if you don't need to weed, the fields can still produce good harvests, will you still choose to work in the fields?" Guan Yu interrupted suddenly.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were taken aback when they heard the words, and began to think about this question.

"That's right!" Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "If the weeds don't affect the growth of the crops, why bother to get rid of them? It's better to sleep at home. No wonder the people in Hanzhong don't go to the fields. It turns out that we want to get rid of it." .”

"Such a treasure land, we must take it!" Liu Bei excitedly said: "There are no common people on the road, and it will save us from being exposed. Hurry up!"

Liu Bei gave an order, and the army began to hurry.

It is necessary to speed up, but also pay attention to the surrounding environment, and pay attention to whether there are people who see the army.

Along the way, he didn't meet a single person. Liu Bei was not surprised but happy, thinking that it was really his ancestors who blessed him, that he could travel at night in broad daylight, and the army has not been exposed until now.

When encountering villages and small towns on the road, Liu Bei led his army to avoid them far away, trying to delay the time of exposure as much as possible, trying to make a surprise attack on Hanzhong and take it down in one fell swoop.

The high-intensity march of the army continued until the sun went down, and then finally stopped.

"Take a break and let the soldiers eat and drink enough. It will be more convenient to travel at night. Let's continue our journey after eating." Although Liu Bei was out of breath, he was in good spirits.

Since they entered Hanzhong over mountains and ridges, horses must not be brought in. Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao also had to walk in, just like ordinary soldiers.

The army was tired all day, and was already hungry, and immediately started cooking after receiving the order.

Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao were sitting around eating together. While eating, Guan Yu suddenly put down his rice bowl, frowned and said, "Brother, something is wrong!"

"What?" The three of them looked at Guan Yu in unison.

"Cooking smoke! There is no cooking smoke rising from the distant villages and towns." Guan Yu told the three of his findings.

The three of Liu, Zhang, and Zhao immediately looked around. There were quite a few villages on the Hanzhong Plain, almost every five miles.

However, the three of them looked around, and as Guan Yu said, there was not even a wisp of cooking smoke, which was obviously abnormal.

When the sun goes down, one has to eat dinner.

At present, the common people are not able to eat three meals a day, but two meals a day, two meals in the morning and evening, and no lunch.

This also leads to the fact that when it gets dark, people must be very hungry, and it is impossible for them not to cook. Moreover, every household does not cook, which violates the current common sense.

Previously, he led the army in a hurry and took a detour when he encountered a village. Liu Bei still felt nothing.

And no one went to work in the field, because they thought that the land in Hanzhong was fertile and there was no need to go to the field to weed, so they didn't meet anyone.

But now it is found that there is no cooking smoke in the villages and towns, combined with the strange phenomenon during the day, it can't help but arouse suspicion in everyone's heart.

"We didn't meet anyone during the day, even if we don't have to work in the fields, there are always people who come out for a walk, but there is no one!" Zhao Yun also expressed his doubts.

During the daytime, the mentality of the people is that they wish not to meet anyone, so as not to expose the whereabouts of the army, so not meeting the people will only make everyone happy.

But now that the mentality has changed, it feels a little weird that I haven't met anyone.

"Let's go! No matter what happens, let's go into the village and have a look." Liu Bei ordered immediately.

Just as the army had finished eating, Liu Bei led the army straight to the nearest village.

After approaching, the doubts in everyone's hearts became more and more intense, it was quiet, deathly silent, and there was no candle light.

Even if the common people are poor and reluctant to turn on the lights at night, there will always be a few families with a few lights on.

"Look at every house." Liu Bei issued a military order.

The army immediately dispersed and poured into every household in the village.

"Report! Nobody!"

"no one!"

"no one!"

 ……

In less than a cup of tea, the soldiers returned one after another and brought back the same answer, that is, no one!

"Weird! Could it be that the people have all withdrawn?" Liu Bei murmured, but no one could answer Liu Bei's question.

Taking a look at the sky, it was completely dark, and the army had been on their way for a day, and now this strange thing happened again, Liu Bei simply ordered: "Forget it, let's talk about something tomorrow, rest!"

That night, Liu Bei and others were destined to not sleep well.

the next day.

With anxiety in his heart, Liu Bei took the army on the road again, and ran directly to Nanzheng City, which is the seat of Hanzhong.

However, the most helpless thing for Liu Bei still happened, and there was still no one along the way.

In fact, Liu Bei guessed this possibility last night, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help being disappointed.

"Damn Lu Bu, the thief, actually moved all the people away, hateful!" Zhang Fei would scold Lu Bu whenever he got the chance.

Migrating the local people away is actually the most fucking thing.

Is the land itself valuable?

Naturally, there is land. Land can be used for farming. How can land be worthless if you open up territories and grab land?

But this value is the value endowed by human beings, and only human beings can make land valuable.

Now that there is no ghost in Hanzhong, who will cultivate so much land?

If you want to restore the value of Hanzhong, you need to migrate people to Hanzhong.

Think about how difficult the demolition of later generations is, and you can know the difficulty of relocating people in ancient times.

Even though there is compensation for demolition in later generations, it is still full of difficulties. In ancient times, there was no compensation for the people who migrated. Naturally, the people were very unhappy, and 740 was very conflicted.

Migrating people from Xiangyang, they have to cross mountains and ridges, which is definitely a difficult thing.

As for the forced relocation of the common people... Will Liu Bei, who has always flaunted benevolence and righteousness, let the army drive the common people away?

Liu Bei feels lost now, the land of Hanzhong is directly in his hands, but he feels like a chicken rib, it's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to discard it.

It is said that Hanzhong has been occupied, but it is useless to hold it in the hand, and it has to be paid to the population.

Abandoning Hanzhong, Liu Bei was a little bit reluctant. This is not only the land of dragon prosperity for the big man, but also a rich land. It is a pity to throw it here like this.

Lu Bu abandoned the land of Hanzhong, and now he has made Liu Bei unable to rise and fall, which is extremely empty.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Guan Yu couldn't help asking.

"Humph!" Liu Bei said angrily, "Since Lu Bu gave it to us for nothing, we're welcome, and we'll even take it away from Shuzhong!"

"I ordered the army to go south and directly enter the middle of Shu!" Liu Bei sneered and said, "I don't believe it anymore. Could it be that Lu can also move the people from the middle of Shu?"

Getting a tasteless piece of Hanzhong made Liu Bei feel useless.

That being the case, it is better not to do one thing, but to use Hanzhong as a springboard, go south to occupy Shuzhong, and occupy the entire Yizhou.

Liu Bei led an army of 50,000 all the way south, and then encountered Jiange and was forced to stop.

In the process of going south, Liu Bei was discovered by scouts from Yangping Pass and reported their tracks to Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong directly sent people to Chencang Road to send the news back to Chang'an, and Chang'an sent the news to Lu Bu on the front line. .
