Chapter 1038: Chiyou attacked Yizhou three times (Part 2)
In order to ensure his strength, Liu Yan decisively betrayed Liu Ji. This behavior of betraying his allies also made Liu Ji''s Ba army angry. All the generals shouted to lead the army into Chengdu and pull Liu Yan down from the position of the provincial governor.
At first, Liu Ji was also very angry at Liu Yan''s betrayal, but after Chen Ping''s guidance, he was not only not angry but also overjoyed.
Chen Ping told Liu Ji that Liu Yan was just a small trouble for being obsessed with, and Chi You was the real enemy of life and death.
The war at this time will only benefit Chiyou Fisherman, so it is better to endure it and digest the Warring States Period first, and it will not be too late to capture Yizhou after its strength becomes stronger.
Liu Ji was defeated by Chi You several times, and of course he knew that Chi You''s threat was much greater than 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 ceases to develop, Liu Ji''s development speed will definitely not be as fast as Liu Yan.
Liu Ji was afraid that this would cause trouble for raising a tiger, but Chen Ping smiled and told Liu Ji that Liu Yan''s collusion with Chi You to betray his allies this time would definitely make him lose all the people''s and military morale. No matter how much strength Liu Yan has recovered, those will be Liu Ji''s in the future.
Hearing Chen Ping say this, Liu Ji finally felt relieved and ordered the generals not to act rashly, and to make a ceasefire and devote himself to digesting the new territory.
Seeing that Liu Yan was so ''aware'', he finally let go of his heart. After all, if the war really started, even if he could defend under Liu Ji''s offensive, he would not be sure to block Chiyou who had made a comeback, and he did not want Chiyou to benefit from the fisherman.
Liu Yan and Liu Ji did not start a war immediately, which was completely within Chi You''s expectations. As long as he was with an external enemy, Liu Ji and Liu Yan would hate each other, and it would still be determined according to the situation. So Chi You also withdrew his troops and returned to digest the results of the war.
Chiyou''s second invasion ended like this. Although he only occupied ten more counties in southern Sichuan this time, he obtained a large amount of seizures on the battlefield, and he also obtained a large amount of food, grass and supplies in the transaction with Liu Yan.
These are huge victories for the extremely barren Southern Barbarians. They are not only enough to make up for the losses on the battlefield, but also can also make the overall strength of the Southern Barbarians a higher level.
Through the war with the Han Dynasty, Chiyou has also established enough prestige, making all the major tribes of the Southern Barbarians, including their old rival Gonggong, convinced Chiyou.
After all, under Chi You''s wise leadership, the survival of the Southern Barbarians has indeed become better and better, and the Southern Barbarians could not imagine it before. In the end, more than 90% of the Southern Barbarian tribes jointly elected Chi You to become the new Southern Barbarian King.
In this way, Chi You became the only Nan bar king who successfully unified the Nan barbarian through the transfer of contradictions.
After the war, Liu Ji and Chi You were digesting the results of the war, while Liu Yan made every effort to restore the losses of the war. After all, Liu Ji and Chi You both won this in the first battle, and only Liu Yan was the only loser.
Liu Ji''s Ba County was vast and crowded. In order to better manage Ba County, there was also Xindejing County. Liu Ji learned from Qin Hao''s practice of dividing Nanyang and divided Ba County into four, divided them into four counties: Ba County, Badong, Brazil and Dangqu.
Later, Liu Ji changed the vassal state of Ba County to Fuling County, and assigned Fuling County, the southernmost part of Ba County, Fuling County, Zhi County, and the northernmost part of Jingxian County to Fuling County, and Peilin County was the county seat.
After such division, Liu Ji''s power had six counties, namely: Badong County, Baxi County, Baxian County, Jingxian County, Fuling County, and Dangqu County.
With more prefectures and counties owned by Liu Ji, there will naturally be many more official positions, and Liu Ji is used to reward meritorious ministers and greatly improve the loyalty of his civil and military officials.
Seeing that Liu Ji was developing rapidly, Liu Yan also wanted to win all the civil and military officials by establishing a new county, so he also had the idea of ??imitating it.
The benefits of subdividing new counties are obvious, but there are also many disadvantages. Under the strong opposition of some old ministers who were difficult to accept change, Liu Yan decided to put this idea temporarily, but his son Liu Yu''s persuasion strengthened his determination.
Shu County is divided into three counties: Shu County, Hanjia County and Wenshan County;
Guanghan County is divided into two counties: Zitong County and Guanghan County;
Jianwei County was divided into three counties: Jianwei County, Jiangyang County and Nanguang County;
Yizhou County was changed to Jianning County and divided into two counties: Jianning County and Xinggu County;
Then was changed to the vassal state of Zhuti County;
In the end, the two counties in central Sichuan were divided into five counties by Liu Yan, while the three counties in southern Sichuan were divided into six counties, and the counties owned by Liu Yan also expanded to as many as 12.
Liu Ji and Liu Yan''s division of territory was even more ruthless than Qin Hao. This was not the northernmost Hanzhong County and the southernmost Yongchang Army. Yizhou had been divided into 18 counties, which was definitely the state with the largest counties in the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that Liu Ji and Liu Yan were both dividing the new county, Chi You also divided the Yongchang County under his command and the several counties of Yizhou County occupied by him into two counties: Yongchang County and Yunnan County.
Compared with Er Liu''s enthusiasm for development, Chi You''s side is much more low-key and honest.
After more than a year of digestion, Chi You''s strength has further grown.
But Chi You waited patiently for more than a year, and not only did the two Liu not fight, but after more than a year of restoration, he realized that the plan of disagreement had completely failed.
In fact, the conflict between Liu Ji and Liu Yan has become increasingly acute, but Chi You no longer has the patience to continue waiting. After all, even if he waits, the Han people may not fight, so he simply decided to get everything he wanted through war.
Through the growth of two wars, the Southern Barbarians are not only strong in their troops, but also extremely united within. Almost all the Southern Barbarians want to make a fortune in war and **** blood from the Han people to strengthen themselves.
In the first and second battles of the Fighting Yi, Chiyou''s main purpose was to accumulate, so he only used part of the power of the Southern Barbarians.
In this third battle against Yi, Chiyou''s ambition and appetite were extremely great. He would use all the power of the Southern Barbarians to fight against Er Liu to destroy the country and completely take away the entire Yizhou from the hands of the Han people.
The Southern Barbarians already have a population of more than one million. After the peaceful reunification of Chiyou and the dedicated development over the years, coupled with the Han people in the territory and other subjugated foreign races around them, the total population ruled by Chiyou has exceeded 2 million.
With the order of the Southern Barbarian King Chi You, nearly 100,000 troops soon gathered towards Yongchang, and they were still rising.
If nothing unexpected happens, the total number of troops sent by Chiyou this time will definitely reach an astonishing number.
But the weather was not good, and a sudden heavy rain disrupted all Chiyou''s arrangements.
