Sichuan and Shu.

Chengdu.

In the government office lobby, the lights were brightly lit.

Outside the lobby, there were armored soldiers standing with swords in their hands. The cold wind and night dew stained the iron clothes, making the surrounding atmosphere even more chilly.

The reason why we held discussions all night was because the military situation ahead was urgent.

Xu Shu hid the matter about Yan Yan, but kept spreading the information that Bazhong and Brazil were invaded and plundered by the Taoists and Di people, which immediately caused the whole Chengdu to start to shake.

Outside Chengdu, troops have also begun to gather, but the direction of these troops' march has not been decided yet, and they are still arguing in the lobby.

The army is gathering and is about to move out, but the destination has not been decided yet!

This is almost a ridiculous situation, but it happened now.

Just based on the intelligence that Xu Shu deliberately displayed at the moment, many people still believed that Langzhong was in danger and the overthrow would be in a moment. Once Langzhong fell, it would mean that the hub of Brazil County was lost, and then the entire Sichuan and Shu would immediately

As if in crisis...

In the continuous military reports, the number of Ji people and Di people was exaggerated. In other words, Xu Shu did not eliminate the water in these intelligence. After all, officials in every fallen county and township would subconsciously exaggerate some Ji people.

and the power of the enemy, so that one's own defeat is not so stupid and incompetent, but the helpless result of the enemy's strength.

As a result, the destructive power and fighting power of the Jin and Di people became astonishingly huge, and it seemed that they could destroy Sichuan and Shu in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Xu Shu expressed his intention to send troops to Brazil immediately, but interestingly, his plan was opposed by others!

Xu Shu sat high at the top, his face as pale as water, as if he was holding on to something, and he seemed to be holding back something.

Dong He sat under Xu Shu, his eyes lowered and silent. If his beard hadn't been trembling slightly, he would have looked like a statue.

In the lobby, no one spoke for a while. Only the sound of soldiers patrolling around came in, which made the air in the hall a little more lively, so that it would not be like the solidified water pressure, which suppressed everyone.

Can't breathe.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Miao finally couldn't hold it in anymore, coughed, and then said loudly: "It's not a pity to die for all the guards in Bazhong! They are all under the command of the hussar, how can they be so timid and afraid of fighting?"

! To seize people and fight against them is just a bluff, but there is not much! It only takes more than a thousand soldiers to attack, so how can we use a large army to delay the battle of Hanzhong?"

"The rebellion in Hanzhong has been spreading for a long time. The traitors of the Zhang family are safely living in Nanzheng. This is our shame! Although there is chaos in Ji Di today, it is like scabies and is not something to be afraid of..." Qin Mihuan

He said slowly, with a serious look on his face, "However, Thief Zhang has shaken the foundation of the Hussar and cut off the connection between the north and the south, so he should be the first to do so. This must not be underestimated."

Wu Ban frowned and said, "Now that the thieves have arrived in Langzhong, we are outnumbered. If we don't send reinforcements, if Langzhong is not protected, it will inevitably stretch into the middle of Sichuan! By then, our elders will die in the wild and the country will be lost to the thieves. Isn't it our sin?"

Enter Langzhong immediately!"

Li Miao sneered, "Captain Wu, could it be that your property is in Langzhong?"

Wu Ban glared at Li Miao, "What do you mean?!"

Li Miao still sneered, "Now we should focus on the great cause of the Hussar! The thieves in Hanzhong are a big harm! The thieves in Langzhong are a small illness! How can you abandon the big harm and eliminate the small illness?"

This statement is inevitably selfish!"

Wu Ban was so angry that he was about to stand up, but Wu Yi pulled him back. Fang snorted heavily from his nostrils, and then turned away from looking at Li Miao.

Li Miao looked around, then looked at Xu Shu, and said: "Mr. Xu! The garrison in Bazhong and Bazhong exaggerated the enemy's situation to blame you. In fact, there is no need to worry about the criminals of Di! Even if we don't send troops to encircle and suppress,

When winter comes, we must retreat! However, this is not the case with the Hanzhong Rebellion. If we only focus on Sichuan and Shu at the moment, we will be in vain for the great cause of Huqi, or perhaps Xu Shijun wants to segregate Sichuan and Shu in the name of the Xi Di Rebellion.

...』

"Bold!" Li Chao shouted loudly, and then he knelt on the ground, "My brother is so anxious for the moment, please ask Mr. Xu to be lenient and forgive him for lying..."

When Li Miao saw this, he lowered his head to apologize, but his eyes were darting around.

Before Xu Shu could speak, Qin Mi said from the side: "The so-called Qing Dynasty will self-purify. Xu Shijun is loyal. How can it be so disobedient? It's just that Xu Shijun cherishes the people and doesn't want Sichuan and Sichuan to suffer."

However, what Li Hannan said has some truth to it. Now the great cause of Hussar should be given top priority. To eliminate the harm to Hanzhong, we must not delay it any longer! In the matter of Ji Di, it is enough to send a partial army! And I don’t know the Commander-in-Chief Xu.

how about?"

This question, which was almost like naming names, made it impossible for Xu Shu to stay silent any longer. He looked at Li Miao, Qin Mi and others slightly, and then said: "If we send out a side army, who will be the general?"

Lei Tong said loudly from the side: "I am willing to go!"

"No!" Li Miao glared at Lei Tong and said, "You were originally the king of the people! Now there is chaos among the people again. Are you going to lead the troops to suppress the enemy? Are you supporting the enemy?"

"Shuzi!" Lei Tong shouted angrily, "How dare you insult someone?! The loyalty of someone to the hussar can be revealed to the sun and the moon!"

"If you are loyal to the Hussars, you will let others lead the side army! I recommend General Gan!" Li Miao said in a deep voice, "General Gan is extremely brave and proficient in battle formations, so he will definitely be able to defeat Ji Di! He will be the leader of the side army."

General, Sichuan and Sichuan have no worries! Xu Shijun can lead the troops to conquer Hanzhong and put an end to the rebels in Hanzhong. This is the great cause of protecting the hussars!"

Xu Shu's eyes stopped on Gan Ning, "General Gan... Li Hannan's words... What do General Gan think?"

Gan Ning hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, "I just obey Xu Shijun's instructions."

Li Miao frowned immediately, but quickly pretended to be nonchalant.

Xu Shu smoothed his beard, looked at Liu Zhang who had his head lowered at the end of the seat, smiled slightly, and said, "Ji Yu! If a certain leader marches into Hanzhong to quell the chaos, will you join the army?"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he trembled all over. After sipping for a while, he said hesitantly: "I...I am...not familiar with military affairs, so I am following the army...I am afraid that it will cause chaos to Commander Xu...but I'd better stay here..."

』

Xu Shu smiled and said, "It's up to you."

Xu Shu then turned to look at Li Miao, Qin Mi, Li Chao and others, and said, "Would you like to join the army?"

Li Miao coughed and bowed his head, saying, "I am not familiar with the art of war, so it is inevitable that I will miss Commander Xu's important event by following the army. Therefore, I am willing to raise food and grass for Commander Xu and ensure logistics, so as to help Commander Xu put an end to the chaos in Hanzhong as soon as possible and achieve success."

Riding a great achievement is also..."

Qin Mi also said that he had leg problems and was unable to join the army.

Li Chao said that there was an old mother at home, and if he wanted to fulfill his filial piety, it would be inconvenient to travel far.

Xu Shu chuckled, and appointed Wu Ban as the vanguard to lead the soldiers into Jinniu. He then ordered Gan Ning to be the partial army, commanding 1,500 men and horses, and marched into Brazil to encircle and suppress the Di people. He himself was the central army.

,Send troops to Hanzhong in three days..."

When the order was given, some people in the hall frowned, some chuckled, some exposed their faces to the light, and some hid their faces in the darkness.

The crowd slowly retreated.

"Your Majesty..."

Dong He was old, so he moved slowly and fell at the back. Soon after he walked outside the hall, he came back again and said with cupped hands, "Sichuan and Shu are not stable now, so you still have to be more careful..."

Xu Shu raised his eyes, "Youzai, this is..."

Dong He sighed and said: "I am very old and don't want to see the people of Sichuan and Sichuan in ruins and start fighting again, but..."

Xu Shu's eyes moved slightly, then he said with a smile: "Don't worry, Young Zai."

"..." Dong He looked at Xu Shu for a short while, finally nodded, cupped his hands again, and left.

Xu Shu stood in front of the hall, watching everyone leave, then slowly returned to the hall with his hands behind his back, sat down, and after a moment, he laughed and said softly, "This Dong Youzai... I guess he can see it... too."

good……"

……(?·??·?)??……

Three days later, Xu Shu officially announced that he would personally lead an army to conquer Hanzhong.

Dong He stayed in Chengdu.

Gan Ning led his troops to Langzhong.

Not to mention what other people thought, Li Miao and others couldn't help but want to celebrate.

"Now the situation is complete! When Xu Yuanzhi is in the sword pavilion, we will take the opportunity to cause trouble, gather the soldiers, and control Chengdu. At that time, Xu Yuanzhi will be declared a traitor, and his food and grass will be cut off. In less than ten months, we can destroy him without any effort.

In the path of the Taurus!』

The reason why Li Miao has been constantly preaching that Xu Shu has rebellious intentions in Sichuan and Shu, and in the city of Chengdu, is to achieve this step!

Under Li Miao's plan, Xu Shu had no choice but to personally lead his troops to fight in Hanzhong to prove his innocence. However, as soon as Xu Shu left Chengdu, the logistics would naturally fall to Li Miao.

In the hands of the gentry in central Sichuan, even if Xu Shu appointed his subordinates as logistics officers, what use would it be? After all, the transportation of grain and grass still had to go through Guanghan!

In Guanghan, the Li family can cover the sky with one hand!

And because of the new policies of Hussar, just like men and women who live together because of love, after the initial excitement, the differences between them are gradually exposed. One party may think that socks can be saved and washed once a week, and the other party may think that socks can be saved and washed once a week.

One side thinks that it would be a nightmare if they couldn't wash every day, not to mention the conflicts in the way they treat others due to different family backgrounds...

If the two parties cannot reconcile, problems will arise sooner or later.

The same is true for the Sichuan and Shu nobles and the hussar Fei Qian.

At the beginning, a large influx of goods from Guanzhong opened up the relatively closed Sichuan and Sichuan markets. There was a dazzling array of all kinds of things, as if they could be afforded by later generations, and they were good at it. At first, they became the children of the Sichuan and Shu gentry.

However, after a long time, some of these Sichuan and Shu people discovered that there was not only Sudan red but also expired meat.

Normal people would be indignant or even refuse, but capital has no conscience and only cares about profit. Therefore, Li Miao and others thought that since they can make a lot of money by eating and selling expired noodles and waste meat, why not

Take the opportunity to knock it down, and then change the name yourself, and make something that is good at chewing, can sell well, and can be sold as a jet type, etc.?

Coupled with Fei Qian's actions in clearing land in Sichuan and Sichuan, sorting out household registration, checking the population, etc., the relationship between the Sichuan and Shu gentry and Fei Qian became increasingly tense.
To be continued...
