Chapter 1038: Chi You's three expeditions to Yizhou (Part 2)
In order to ensure his own strength, Liu Yan decisively betrayed Liu Ji. This betrayal of his allies also made Liu Ji's Pakistani army furious. All the generals clamored to lead the army into Chengdu and remove Liu Yan from the state. position.
At first Liu Ji was also angry at Liu Yan's betrayal, but after Chen Ping enlightened him, instead of being angry, he was overjoyed.
Chen Ping told Liu Ji that Liu Yan was just a minor sufferer, while Chi You was the real life and death enemy.
Starting a war at this time will only benefit Chi You, so it is better to endure and digest the Warring States Period first, and then capture Yizhou when the strength is further strengthened.
Liu Ji had been defeated by Chi You several times, and of course he knew that Chi You's threat was much greater than that of the incompetent Liu Yan.
Liu Yan is stronger than Liu Ji in terms of territory and population, and this is Liu Yan's weakest period. If he really stops the war and concentrates on development, Liu Ji's development speed will definitely not be as fast as Liu Yan.
Liu Ji was afraid that this would create trouble for the tiger, but Chen Ping told Liu Ji with a smile that Liu Yan's collusion with Chi You to betray his allies would definitely make him lose the morale of the people and the army. No matter how much strength Liu Yan regained, those who would also be in the future would They all belong to Liu Ji.
Hearing what Chen Ping said, Liu Ji finally felt relieved and ordered the generals not to act rashly. He stopped the war and concentrated on digesting the new territory.
Seeing that Liu Ji was so "aware", Liu Yan finally let go of his worries. After all, if a war really started, even if he could defend against Liu Ji's offensive, he would not be sure to stop Chi You who was making a comeback. I don't want Chi You to be left behind and benefit from the situation.
Liu Yan and Liu Ji did not start a war immediately, which was completely within Chi You's expectation. As long as there was a foreign enemy like him, no matter how much Liu Ji and Liu Yan hated each other, they would still decide according to the situation, so Chi You also withdrew his troops. Return to digest the results.
Chi You's second invasion ended in this way. Although this time he only occupied ten more counties in southern Sichuan, he obtained a large number of seizures on the battlefield, and also obtained a large amount of grain, grass and materials from the transaction with Liu Yan. .
These are a huge victory for the extremely poor Southern Barbarians, which are not only enough to make up for the losses on the battlefield, but can even take the overall strength of the Southern Barbarians to a higher level.
Chi You has also established enough prestige through the war with the Han Dynasty that all the major tribes of the Southern Barbarians, including his old rival Gonggong, are convinced of Chi You.
After all, under Chi You's wise leadership, the living conditions of the Southern Barbarians have indeed become better and better. The Southern Barbarians could not even imagine it before. In the end, more than 90% of the Southern Barbarian tribes jointly elected Chi You to become the new Southern Barbarians. king.
In this way, Chi You became the only Southern Barbarian king who successfully unified the Southern Barbarians by transferring conflicts.
After the war, both Liu Ji and Chi You were digesting the results of the war, while Liu Yan tried his best to recover the losses of the war. After all, both Liu Ji and Chi You were victorious in the First World War, and only Liu Yan was the only loser.
Liu Ji's Ba County was vast and crowded. In order to better manage Ba County, he also got the new County of Zangzhou. Liu Ji learned from Qin Hao's method of dividing Nanyang and divided Ba County into four parts: Ba County. There are four counties: Jun, Badong, Brazil and Danqu.
After that, Liu Ji changed the vassal state of Ba County to Fuling County, and placed Fuling County and Zhi County in the southernmost part of Ba County, and the northernmost two counties of Zangqi County under Fuling County, and made Peilin County the county seat.
Liu Ji's power was divided into six counties, namely: Badong County, Basi County, Ba County, Zangda County, Fuling County, and Danqu County.
The more states and counties Liu Ji owned, there would naturally be many more official positions, and Liu Ji would use them all to reward meritorious ministers and greatly increase the loyalty of his civil and military officials.
Liu Yan saw that while Liu Ji was developing rapidly, he also absorbed the civil and military ambitions of his subordinates by establishing new counties, so he also had the idea of imitating him.
The advantages of subdividing new counties are obvious, but there are also many disadvantages. Under the strong opposition of some veterans who were difficult to accept the change, Liu Yan decided to shelve the idea for the time being, but the persuasion of his son Liu Yu strengthened his determination.
Shu County was divided into three counties: Shu County, Hanjia County and Wenshan County;
Guanghan County was divided into two counties: Zitong County and Guanghan County;
Jianwei County was divided into three counties: Jianwei County, Jiangyang County and Nanguang County;
Change Yizhou County to Jianning County and divide it into two counties: Jianning County and Xinggu County;
The vassal state of Jian was also changed to Zhuti County;
In the end, the two counties in central Sichuan were divided by Liu Yan into five counties, while the three counties in southern Sichuan were divided into six counties, and the counties owned by Liu Yan expanded to as many as 12.
Liu Ji and Liu Yan divided their territories more ruthlessly than Qin Hao. Not counting the northernmost Hanzhong County and the southernmost Yongchang Army, Yizhou has been divided into 18 counties, which is definitely the one with the most counties in the Han Dynasty. state.
Chi You saw that both Liu Ji and Liu Yan were dividing new counties, so he also divided Yongchang County under his command and the Yizhou County counties he occupied into two counties: Yongchang County and Yunnan County.
Compared with Erliu's vigorous development, Chiyou's side is much more low-key and honest.
After more than a year of digestion, the strength of Chi You's men has further grown.
But Chiyou waited patiently for more than a year. Not only did the two Lius not fight, but after more than a year, their strength recovered and became even stronger than before. This also made him understand that the alienation plan had completely failed.
In fact, the conflict between Liu Ji and Liu Yan has become increasingly acute, but Chi You has no patience to wait any longer. After all, even if he waits any longer, the Han people may not fight, so he simply decided to go to war to get what he wanted. Everything you want.
The Southern Barbarians have grown stronger through two wars. Now they not only have strong troops and horses, but also are extremely united internally. Almost all the Southern Barbarians want to make a lot of war fortune and **** blood from the Han people to strengthen themselves.
In the first and second battles against Yi, Chi You's main purpose was to accumulate, so he only used part of the Nanman's strength.
As for this third battle against Yi, Chi You's ambition and appetite are huge. He will use all the power of the Nanman to fight against Er Liu in a battle of national annihilation and completely take away the entire Yizhou from the Han people.
The Southern Barbarians originally had a population of more than one million. After Chi You's peaceful unification, as well as these years of concentrated development, plus the Han people in the territory and other surrendered foreign races in the surrounding areas, the total population under Chi You's rule has exceeded More than two million.
With the order from the Southern Barbarian King Chi You, nearly 100,000 troops soon gathered towards Yongchang, and they were still growing.
If nothing unexpected happens, the total amount of troops sent by Chi You this time will definitely reach an astonishing figure.
But God was not kind to him, and a sudden heavy rain disrupted all Chi You's arrangements.
