Liu Bei was not a dull person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Zhuge Liang's words. "Did Kong Ming say that after the family handed over their private soldiers, what other actions would they take?"

"That's it. The aristocratic family has a great influence in the army, and many generals in the army are members of the aristocratic family. Although these generals are performing admirably in the face of the enemy's attack, the real situation is when Yizhou is in danger.

When the time comes, they will definitely obey the orders of their respective family heads, and the aristocratic families will do whatever it takes for the benefit of the family." Zhuge Liang said worriedly.

After the war in Yizhou, the generals in the army suffered great losses. In the absence of generals in the army, Zhuge Liang could not make too many changes in the generals in the army, so as not to arouse the resistance of the aristocratic families and put the aristocratic families into disgrace.

After the private soldiers in their hands were gathered together, they were basically sent to defend the city, so that the power of the family would continue to be damaged in the process of defending the city, which would invisibly weaken the influence of the family.

The strength of aristocratic families has a great influence on the monarch.

"So, they will betray me?" Liu Bei's eyes tightened. After the aristocratic families sent their private soldiers to the army, although the heads of the aristocratic families returned to their respective families, they became more peaceful.

This reassured Liu Bei a lot, and he was quite satisfied with Zhuge Liang's methods. Not only did he avoid offending more aristocratic families, but he also strengthened the defense force in the city.

"Aren't these aristocratic families afraid that their families will be destroyed if they take refuge with Lu Bu? These aristocratic families must be very aware of Lu Bu's methods towards the aristocratic families," Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Zhuge Liang sighed secretly. Liu Bei obviously did not have enough understanding of the family. The family did pay attention to the interests of the family. However, when the safety of the family was greatly affected, it was obvious what they would do. If even the family was in turmoil,

If it is difficult to survive, what is the benefit? The most important thing for the family at present is to survive this turmoil.

Liu Bei was still immersed in the support of the Yizhou family. If Liu Bei had this mentality, he might not even know the reason why the enemy troops entered the city.

"We have to be on guard." Zhuge Liang said. Now this matter is just his speculation, and the family has not shown any abnormal behavior.

"The generals guarding the city gates are the most important thing." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang nodded and said yes. All the generals at the city gates were appointed by Liu Bei. Even if there were family members among them, there would be someone to check them.

"My lord, you must be more cautious when traveling during this period. You must not only guard against the aristocratic families in the city, but also be careful about assassins from outside the city. The power that King Jin secretly controls is very powerful. There must be many assassins who have sneaked into the city.

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, these people may take action." Zhuge Liang reminded.

"The same goes for Kong Ming. Tomorrow the king will gather the heads of the aristocratic families in the city together. I want to see if these aristocratic families dare to disobey my order." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang said yes. From Liu Bei's tone, he felt that Liu Bei still didn't pay enough attention to the aristocratic family. However, whoever becomes the head of an aristocratic family is not a shrewd person. Even if he secretly joins the enemy, on the surface he must be a

It is bound to live and die with the city.

Liu Bei is indeed unique in employing people, but in terms of real strategy, he is somewhat inferior.

After leaving the Prefectural Mufu, Liu Bei also felt that something was wrong. If the family betrayed him at the critical moment, wouldn't it mean that the enemy troops outside the city would be allowed to break through the city? If the reinforcements had not arrived, he would have lost the city of Chengdu.

The biggest blow is that this situation is not what Liu Bei wants to see. The soldiers and horses in the southern counties covet the wealth of Yizhou. Liu Bei doesn't want to get the soldiers and horses in the southern counties. If Zhuge Liang is planning by then, why not worry about it?

He kept the officials in the southern counties in submission, and the troops in the southern counties were his opportunity to rise again in Yizhou.

Jian Yong is responsible for the news about the aristocratic families in the city. In every aristocratic family, there are actually Liu Bei's spies, who are responsible for providing Jian Yong with the latest trends of the aristocratic families. However, these spies can only touch small things, and it is impossible to get involved.

When it comes to hiring people for important positions in the family, the family is very cautious. Judging from the recent movements of the family in the city, it is relatively normal. This makes Jian Yong feel relieved. The war in Jingzhou is a good example.

The influence of the family.

Now the war has come to Yizhou. If Yizhou cannot be protected from the Chang'an Army's attack, the family will suffer more losses. On this point, Jian Yong and Liu Bei have the same understanding.

Jian Yong learned the news of Liu Bei's arrival and hurriedly went out to greet him. The affairs in the city were busy, and Jian Yong's daily rest time was also compressed a lot. Now is the most critical moment in Yizhou. If he is not careful, he will bring consequences.

The consequences are not what Liu Bei wants to see. As an official under his command, he must perform his duties.

"Xianhe, are there any aristocratic families in the city acting abnormally now?" Liu Bei asked directly.

"My lord, since the heads of various aristocratic families have returned to their families, they have imposed strict orders on their family members. Very few heads of families would go out at such a time. Judging from the news from various aristocratic families, there is no abnormal behavior."

Jian Yong cupped his hands and said.

"Xianhe has worked hard recently. After repelling the enemy army, I will ask for merit for Xianhe in front of the Holy Lord." Liu Bei said.

"This is a matter within the scope of my duties." Jian Yong saluted hurriedly.

"Xianhe has been following the king for a long time. When the king was in the most critical situation, Xianhe never left him. Unlike Yiji, the king even stayed in the city, but he chose to do so after he sent an envoy to the enemy.

Surrender." Liu Bei sighed. The Yiji incident made Liu Bei very angry. Liu Bei was quite touched that the Yiji could join the army in Jingzhou and follow him to Yizhou.

If possible, Liu Bei did not want to let Yi Ji go to Chang'an Army as an envoy of the imperial court in such an emergency situation, but it was necessary to appease the enemy army. After Yi Ji took refuge with Lu Bu, he would definitely send him

The purpose of his speech was revealed, and Liu Bei was even asked to understand the layout of the city of Chengdu. What made Liu Bei angry was that when he ordered to go to Yi Ji's home, the important figures in his house had disappeared. This was under his eyes.

Under the child's roof, the Yi family could escape, which made Liu Bei feel even more uneasy.

It is necessary to strengthen the protective force around important ministers under his command. When Fa Zheng was assassinated in the city, Liu Bei was very sad. If Fa Zheng still existed in Yizhou at this time, when facing the Chang'an Army's war, the Yizhou Army

He wouldn't have lost so quickly.
