Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Chu Shiqun, Han Zhiyuan, Jiang Han and others hurried to the Assassin's Mansion.

When Chen Ran saw Jiang Han, he was angry, slapped Jiang Han in the face, and scolded: "You idiot, how can you have the face to go back to Chengdu." Zhang Zhuo is dead, why are you still alive.

Jiang Han's face was burning with pain. In this battle, the Chengdu soldiers he led did not perform well and took the lead in fleeing the battlefield, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he also left the others and fled back.

Jiang Han felt a little wronged, except for Nanzhong, there had been no war in Shu for decades, and the armament of the Chengdu Qi army was lax all year round. Shi Ai suddenly entered Shudi, and he didn't have time to train his soldiers.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Jiang Han was dissatisfied: "The Chengdu Qi army is not good at field warfare, and Lord Chen knows about this. No matter how powerful the last general is, he can't train an elite soldier in a short time.

Chen Ran was furious, "Come on, put Jiang Han in prison!"

Chu Shiqun stood up in time to play a round, "By all means, the Zhaowu Army is about to be killed, and now is the time to employ people." Adults must not be impulsive, and General Jiang should be given a chance to make meritorious contributions.

Chen Ran glared at Jiang Han viciously and withdrew the order just now. Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to Chu Shiqun in his heart.

"Let's talk about it, what should we

do now?" Han Zhiyuan sighed: "The last general thinks that there are three things to do now. First, recruit a large number of young people and ask them to assist in defending the city. Second, there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in Nanzhong, so Deng Yongqi should lead the troops to Chengdu as soon as possible. Third, there are still some soldiers and horses in other cities in Shudi, and they must be ordered immediately to gather them to Chengdu.

"Well, I'll get someone to do it as soon as possible." Chen Ran said. I regret in my heart that I should have let Han Zhiyuan go out with the army, and I shouldn't have sent a waste like Jiang Han.

Han Zhiyuan's brows were still furrowed, how much these things could help Shoucheng, he didn't know the bottom in his heart. In this defeat, the Shu people have lost confidence, and it is unknown whether they will send troops to Chengdu.

Chu Shiqun said with a smile: "Lord Chen, have you forgotten one thing, there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Jianmen Pass, and Wei Hongyang can bring it to Chengdu." With Deng Yongqi's Nanzhong soldiers, there will be more than 20,000 troops in the city, which is enough to hold Chengdu.

Han Zhiyuan's face changed greatly, and he said urgently: "This move is absolutely not good, no matter how critical the situation is, the Qi army of the Sword Gate must not be mobilized." The weight of the sword gate is not below Chengdu. General Shen is currently fighting the Zhaowu army in Hanzhong, and if he succeeds in destroying Li Zhao, he can enter Shu from Jianmen Pass and rescue Chengdu. If Li Zhao is not destroyed, Jianmen Pass can also temporarily block Li Zhao and make it impossible for him to enter Shu.

"General Han is too worried, even if there is no Jianmen Pass, there is still Qutang Pass in his hand. The imperial army could rescue Chengdu from Qutang Pass at any time. Moreover, if Chengdu is lost, there will be no grain and grass at the Jianmen Gate, and it will not be long before it will be lost.

Han Zhiyuan's eyes were puzzled, what happened to Chu Shiqun today, didn't he know that without the Sword Gate, Shu Di would not be protected.

Chen Ran had already lost his square inch, and he only wanted to hold Chengdu, ignoring Han Zhiyuan's strong opposition, he sent people to Jianmen Pass and asked Wei Hongyang to bring troops to Chengdu quickly.

After Chu Shiqun returned to the mansion, he immediately called his eldest son Chu Ziqing to the study and told him in detail about what had just happened.

Chu Ziqing said with a smile: "Father, Shudi is about to change its owner, and it is time for our family to make a choice."

"What I'm most worried about now is not Deng Yongqi and Wei Hongyang, but Hanzhong. Shen Tian still has tens of thousands of troops in Hanzhong, and I don't know if Li Zhao can win. If Li Zhao is defeated, it will definitely affect Shi Ai. Chu Shiqun said worriedly.

"Father is too worried, if Li Zhao doesn't have extraordinary courage and courage, how can he bypass the two levels and attack Shu by surprise. A few days later, Shi Ai will lead his troops to Chengdu. In order to gain Li Zhao's trust, he must assist the Zhaowu army in capturing Chengdu.

Chu Shiqun was silent for a while, looked at Chu Ziqing fixedly, looked extremely serious, and said: "Once I take this road, my Chu family will never be able to turn back." If the Zhaowu army is defeated in the end, my Chu family will also be wiped out. I'm old and frail, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Tell your father, have you really made up your mind?"

Chu Ziqing knelt on his knees, bowed heavily, and said, "Father, it has been a hundred years since the world was divided into two. It's been so long, so long that everyone has forgotten what this world is supposed to be like. Four hundred years ago, the Zhou Dynasty ruled the world, and its territory reached the Hanhai Desert in the north, the land of Barbarian Yue in the south, and all the countries in the Western Regions submitted to the Great Zhou. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty was strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The more Chu Ziqing spoke, the more excited he became, he took out a map of the world, pointed to it and said, "Father, look at what the world is like now." In the Qi State south of the Great River, Jiang Ningxian, in order to consolidate his power, connived at the vicious fighting of the princes and suppressed the general Liu Zhijie, and he had no intention of the Northern Expedition. In the Wei State in the north, although Emperor Li Kun of Wei was the hero, he was already old, and it was already the limit to be able to recover Luoyang and Hedong, and he was powerless to change the situation of the Kwantung Domain. There were frequent wars between Youzhou, Bianzhou, Yecheng, Huainan and other feudal towns, and the Wei court's control over Kwantung became weaker and weaker. Even the grassland Hu people are ready to move.

Chu Shiqun was a little surprised, and said, "You said so much, and you haven't told your father yet, what do you want to do?"

"The son wants to assist the Ming Lord, dominate the world, and create a prosperous world." "Chu Ziqing cut the railway.

Chu Shiqun smiled, "No wonder I have arranged for you to go out many times, but you have refused all of them." Even I didn't know you had such ambitions.

"If a man doesn't have Ling Yunzhi, he will be born with an eight-foot body. Chu Ziqing's eyes were resolute.

"Courage is commendable, but there are things that can't just be seen on the surface. Emperor Jiang Ningxian of Qi did not make a big Northern Expedition, not only because he was too selfish, but also because the power of the northern feudal towns was strong, even if he reused Liu Zhijie, he might not be able to succeed. Since ancient times, the Central Plains has never lacked heroes and heroes, elite soldiers. "

My son understands that Li Kun has more than 100,000 iron cavalry, and he can't pacify the north, not to mention the many foot soldiers of Qi State.

"Now that you've decided, let your father help you again." It's just Li Zhao, as far as I can ........ observed. Chu Shiqun paused slightly, as if thinking of something, and sighed: "That's it, there are some things, you will know later." That

night, Jiang Han was drinking in the mansion, feeling that his future was bleak and he was irritable. If Chengdu is breached, it is estimated that the Zhaowu army will not let him go after entering the city. If he really held it, Chen Ran would take revenge on him in the future.

At this moment, the subordinate informed the chief Shi Chu Shiqun to come to visit, and Jiang Han immediately asked the subordinate to lead him into the house.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until the time of the child that Chu Shiqun left the mansion satisfied.

In the past few days in Deyang, Shi Ai has sent a large number of scouts to Nanzhong. He recently learned that there were not only nearly 10,000 Qi troops in Nanzhong. When it is critical, you can also hire a group of barbarians who have returned to the Qi country. The Zhaowu army had never fought with the barbarians, and he didn't know their strength, so Shi Ai didn't dare to underestimate them.

In addition, the Zhaowu army expanded again to more than 30,000 troops.

After all preparations were made, in the twenty-seventh year of the Great Wei Tiancheng, on February 16, the Zhaowu army came to Chengdu.
