"Sir, Huo An and Mu Ke have captured the three counties in Nanzhong. Qin Liangyu captured Wu Han, and Wang Zhongsi delayed Wang Meng and ranked first in the first place."

Chu Tian led his troops to besiege Fu County and confronted the garrisons Meng Gong, Li Yan, Wu Yi and others.

Chu Tian was waiting for other troops to attack Shu to make progress.

Although Chu Tian had less than 30,000 elite troops, and 20,000 to 30,000 low-level troops recruited by Jiangyou, Chu Tian's team of surprise troops who smuggled through Yinping restrained at least 200,000 Shu troops, making it impossible for 200,000 Shu troops to support Nanzhong or Hanzhong.

Strategically, Chu Tian’s goal has been achieved, it depends on whether the troops in Nanzhong can make progress when attacking Hanzhong and attacking Hanzhong.

After moving into Nanzhong for thousands of miles, Mu Ke did not let Chu Tian down and successfully captured the three counties in Nanzhong.

Humihu continued to read the information from Nanzhong: "In addition, Huoan and Mu Ke hope to send a team of troops to support Yongchang County while marching into Chengdu and defeat the Mang Yinglong King of Dongyu Kingdom."

"Mang Yinglong of Dongyu Kingdom..."

Chu Tian was also in a dilemma when he learned about Huo An and Mu Ke's request.

The three counties in the south are incorporated into Chu Tian's power territory. Then, Chu Tian can call on the 200,000 troops currently under Huo'an and Mu Ke to attack Chengdu.

As long as Chengdu is captured, Liu Bei's forces may collapse.

The country of Tianfu is the reliance of Liu Bei's forces. Without the population of tens of millions of people in the Chengdu Plain, with the millions of people in Hanzhong, even if there is danger to the Qinling Mountains, they cannot compete with Chu Tian.

Population is really too important.

By then, Liu Bei would probably have to surrender like Zhang Lu.

Historically, Zhang Lu was not highly praised, but Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong and became a local emperor for decades. After surrendering to Cao Cao, he was lenient and appointed as a marquis and generals. He had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. He lived a displaced life than the first half of his life. His brother Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were killed by others in his later years. Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling.

Huoan and Mu Ke divided their troops to attack the King Yinglong of Dongyu Kingdom, so the troops used to attack Chengdu will definitely be reduced.

However, as the territory of the Han Empire, Yongchang County was besieged by the Dongxu Kingdom and repeatedly sought help from Yizhou. If Yongchang County was not saved, it might make everyone in Yongchang County feel disappointed.

Mang Yinglong attacked Dongyu Kingdom, which more or less angered Chu Tian.

"Ahem."

A strategist coughed lightly outside the camp.

Chu Tian heard that this was the coughing sound of military advisor Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's characteristic "Random Martial Arts" can provide the military advisor's auxiliary halo: randomly reduce the enemy's defense by 1%-15%. When facing famous generals who are good at defense, Jia Xu is sometimes more practical.

"Come in."

After obtaining Chu Tian's permission, Jia Xu entered the camp.

Jia Xu is good at protecting himself. After coming in, he first observes Chu Tian and Bei Mihu's expressions to make sure that he has not disturbed their good things.

"What's the matter with the military advisor?"

"There is a person who is willing to introduce him to the lord."

"Who?"

"Zhang Song's visitor."

"Zhang Song?"

Even people like Chu Tian who have seen the world are surprised by this.

Zhang Song? The famous Erwuzi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He encouraged Liu Bei to enter Shu and replaced Liu Zhang and Zhang Song as the mastermind.

Chutian attacked Shu in five directions, while the fourth row of troops, Huo'an and Mu Ke took down the three counties in the south, threatening Chengdu city from the south, and all the families in Shu were alarmed.

At this time, the famous Erwuzi Zhang Song sent his disciples to visit him. Chu Tian didn't need to think about it and knew what was going on.

"Bring him to see me."

I understand it? If you can use Zhang Song to easily win Chengdu, it will be a good deal.

Soon, Zhang Song's disciple was brought in by the Tiger Guards.

"Your master told you to come to see me? What's the matter?"

Chu Tian sat in the main seat? His attitude was high.

Zhang Song's servant was trembling.

In the eyes of Shu family, Chu Tian swept across the Central Plains? He divided his troops into five groups to attack Shu? He was more like a great devil than Dong Zhuo in the past? Many of his soldiers in Shu have been killed.

Zhang Song's guest shivered and said, "Our master wants to make three rules with His Highness King Xia to end the troubled times in the world. If His Highness King Xia can agree, our master can try to open the Chengdu city gate and respond to the king's army."

"Oh? Interesting, just mention it."

"First, after the Xia army enters Chengdu City, they must not kill, disturb the residents, especially the aristocratic families, and do not kill surrendered generals."

"Secondly, all the Shu family members will still be restored to their posts, and the affairs of Yizhou will still be presided over by the local family. The governor of Yizhou and the prefect of Shu County must come from the Yizhou family."

"Third, if this matter is successful, my master hopes to be ranked third and be named the Marquis of Chengdu in the future."

Zhang Song carefully proposed three conditions for the three rules, and carefully observed Chu Tian's expression changes in secret.

Chu Tian frowned slightly, and Jia Xu was also thinking, and even the queen of the Evil Ma Tai Kingdom, Humihu, also saw Zhang Song's thoughts.

Zhang Song made three rules. It seemed that he was the only one in Chengdu. But in fact, Zhang Song represented the interests of the surrendered families in Shu.

Otherwise, Zhang Song would not have proposed to protect the interests of the Shu family in three chapters.

The local families even hope to take advantage of this opportunity to take over the position of the governor of Yizhou and the prefect of Shu County.

The position of the governor of Yizhou is important, so there is no need to say much. Shu County is the most important county in Yizhou, and the position of the prefect of Shu County is also very important.

"The governors, prefects, and county magistrates are all directly ordered by the court. I have never heard of aristocratic families that can decide on the governor and the candidate for the prefect. Zhang Song regards this king as a fool? Now the three counties in the south are owned by me. The troops are in Chengdu, and it only takes a year and a half! If the aristocratic families in Shu have the same attitude, then if they conquer Chengdu, all the aristocratic families will pay the price for it!"

Chu Tian was stern, and the servant sent by Zhang Song was frightened and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please calm down your anger if Your Highness is dissatisfied, you can talk, you can talk..."

Chu Tian calmed down.

In negotiations, you must maintain a tough attitude, otherwise Zhang Song will be arrogant.

"Where is Zhang Song's bottom line?"

"This... please let King Xia sit in Shu and let the generals of Shu be blamed for the officials and generals in Shu... and our master serves as one of the three dukes. As for the Marquis of Chengdu... see what King Xia and the court meant..."

After Chu Tian got angry, the disciples sent by Zhang Song were intimidated by Chu Tian's momentum and hurriedly lifted Zhang Song's bottom line.

The bottom line of the Shu family is to protect existing interests.

Zhang Song pursues personal interests and hopes to be ranked among the three officials.

Liu Bei is currently only the King of Hanzhong and cannot enthrone the Three Dukes. Chu Tian is in control of the imperial court, which can satisfy Zhang Song's wish to be ranked as the Three Dukes.

Zhang Song's guest was extremely nervous, afraid that Chu Tian would ask him to take another step.

"Can."

Out of the surprise of the disciples, Chu Tian did not continue to lower Zhang Song's asking price, but easily agreed to the request of Zhang Song and a group of Shu families represented by Zhang Song.

The Qinling Mountains and Shu Road really delayed Chu Tian’s time and energy.

Chu Tian entered his thirties and realized that his personal energy was limited and he would make concessions to gain benefits at the right time.

Yizhou has a high recognition of China, and it doesn’t have to fight until it obeys like a tribe on the grassland.

As long as the aristocratic families in Yizhou are obedient, Chu Tian has no intention of attacking them for the time being.

The Han Empire has experienced more than ten years of troubled times, and it is time to unify it.

Chu Tian is already accelerating the progress of unifying the Han Empire.

"Thank you Your Highness, thank you! I will go back and report now!"

Seeing that Chu Tian finally agreed to make three rules, Zhang Song's servant kowtowed repeatedly, and happily returned to his master Zhang Song to report to his master.

Jia Xu watched the disciple leave and said to Chu Tian: "Lord, do you really want Zhang Song to be one of the three dukes? Only then can Zhang Song be mediocre. If he serves as the three dukes, it may be difficult to convince the public."

Jia Xu's worries make no sense.

The Chutian power is not only powerful generals, but also countless civil officials of all kinds, and the competition is quite fierce.

Even Jia Xu doesn't think he is qualified to serve as the third official.

Fang Xuanling, the oldest, supports Xia Tianliang to rise to power.

Li Kui, unknown, was responsible for managing agriculture like Xiao He supported Liu Bang and provided food and grass for Chu Tian’s millions of troops.

Sun Bin, who had been in the resignation of Chu Tian for longer than Jia Xu, gave advice.

There are also famous scholars like Xun You and Xun Yu who come from the Yingchuan family.

In addition, Sang Hongyang, responsible for the economy, is as important as Li Kui, who is responsible for agriculture.

This is not counting ministers such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Qun, Li Si, Gao Yang and other ministers.

Cao Cao could still be used as a civil servant during his rule.

There is also Lu Su who supported the daughter of the Sun family to take office. Although Lu Su served Chu Tian, ​​he still helped the Sun family in Jiangdong in a dark way. It has to be said that it was fate.
