Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

When Li Zhao learned that he had taken the Sword Gate Pass, he was discussing with everyone. He is about to leave Hanzhong and stay in Chengdu for a long time. The Ordnance Department and other relevant personnel should also all be relocated to Chengdu.

Someone came to inform that Chen Zhe did not enter the Sword Gate, and was still waiting for Li Zhao outside the gate.

The faces of the people suddenly changed slightly, and they secretly said in their hearts: It is not for nothing that Chen Zhe can win the trust of the commander by demoting himself to a general; with such political consciousness, he is destined to have an unlimited future.

There was no shortage of smart people in the hall, and some people reacted immediately, Fan Shuo preemptively said: "Congratulations to the handsome for winning the sword gate, the handsome man is really a hero, and he has the ambition of Lingyun." With the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, the belly of Nabashu land. He will come to Jinling City one day to save the people of Qi from fire and water, and relieve the people from hanging upside down!".

Li Zhao smiled, and while Fan Shuo praised him, he also faintly hinted that the Zhaowu army needed a legitimate reason to attack Qi. You can't really declare to the people of the world that he just wants to be the emperor, that is, he wants everyone to submit to him.

Li Zhao coughed twice and said lightly: "The monarchs and ministers of the Qi State have no way, and the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult, and the commander can't bear it in his heart, so he raised an army to attack Qi." I hope that you can work with Ben Shuai to continue to move forward bravely and eradicate the tyrant of Qi as soon as possible. "

I'll be loyal to the commander to the death!" everyone hurriedly said.

"You've been working hard lately, so go back and prepare. Two days later, we left for Chengdu. "

Yes

" Li Zhao said suddenly: "Fan Shuo and Deng Xin stay."

After the others left, Li Zhao said: "Ben Shuai has been fighting with Qi for so long, and he hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of Wei State. I remember a few months ago, Wei sent troops to Tongguan and Hedong, what is the current situation of the war?"

Deng Xin said: "I was about to tell the marshal, Yecheng Jiedu made Meng Kai intend to be the king, and Wei Emperor Li Kun sent troops to attack Yecheng. Originally, the Wei army was like a bamboo, but I never thought that the Youzhou Festival would make Liu Tai suddenly send troops. ordered his third son, Liu Wenjun, to lead tens of thousands of Youzhou iron cavalry to support Meng Kai, and the Wei army was unable to conquer Yecheng for a while. In the end, the three parties compromised, Meng Kai gave up the title of king, and the Wei army and the Youzhou army took the initiative to retreat.

Li Zhao was puzzled: "Dugu Ling is a famous general in Guanzhong, Huang Jinyun and I have fought against him, and he is not a mediocre general." The two of them combined couldn't defeat Liu Wenjun?"

Fan Shuo said: "I have been in Youzhou for several years, as far as I know, in addition to tens of thousands of foot soldiers, there are also 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry in Youzhou, and the strength itself is not weak.

Li Zhao was silent for a while, and then said coldly: "If Ben Shuai guessed correctly, Liu Tai wants to annex Yecheng and then seize the whole of Hebei." With the wisdom of Emperor Wei Li Kun, it is impossible not to see Liu Tai's ambition.

"The marshal guessed right, although the Wei army did not win this time, it was not defeated, and the Wei army severely damaged the Youzhou cavalry. In a short period of time, Liu Tai was no longer able to attack Yecheng. Deng Xin said, "Our army, like the Qi army, has many foot soldiers and few cavalry, and it has little impact on fighting in the south. But when you get to the north, you still need to train the iron horseman.

Li Zhao nodded slightly.

Not only Hebei, according to the news from Heibingtai, Xuzhou, Bianzhou, and Huainan are not fuel-efficient lamps. With such chaos in the north, Li Zhao hoped that Li Kun would live a few more years.

There are things that he couldn't see clearly before, but now he understands that Li Kun is ostensibly preventing the envoy of the feudal town from becoming king, but he is actually balancing the forces of all parties. What Li Kun was really worried about was that one feudal town was too strong, annexed other feudal towns, and unified Hebei or the Central Plains.

But Li Kun is old after all, and if he dies one day, the crown prince Li You will succeed to the throne, which may not be able to stabilize the current situation.

"Don't talk about that, I can't take care of it for the time being anyway. Li Zhao took the initiative to stop the topic. "Ben Shuai is about to go to Chengdu, and the people in Hanzhong, Ben Shuai is not very relieved. Before leaving, you must always find out.

Deng Xin said: "What the big marshal said, but Yang Mingsheng?"

"It's this person."

Fan Shuo secretly said that Yang Mingsheng had always had an unclear attitude and did not have a clear allegiance to the marshal, and the marshal lacked people and needed Yang Mingsheng's experience and ability to redistribute land for the people, so he did not attack him. But now the situation has changed, and the Zhaowu army has defeated Shen Tian and is about to take all of Shu. The handsome personality has also become stronger, and he can no longer tolerate it.

"I heard that Yang Mingsheng has always wanted to see the handsome, and he has something to say to the handsome. Deng Xin said.

Li Zhao's expression was a little impatient, and he said, "Ben Shuai is busy with affairs, so I don't have time to see him." Go and ask him for me if he wishes to be loyal to him. If so, release him and give him a position. If not, you can deal with it.

"Yes.

"It's hard work, let's go down first."

"Yes. "

.................................................

After Deng Xin left the hall, he immediately went to see Yang Mingsheng.

Earlier, in order to train Deng Xin and Fan Shuo, Li Zhao asked them to follow Yang Mingsheng and learn how Yang Mingsheng measured and distributed land.

The three got along well during that time, and Yang Mingsheng once said to Deng Xin that as a literati, you must have a strong character and must not grovel. Deep down, Deng Xin didn't want to kill Yang Mingsheng very much. Unfortunately, Li Zhao clearly lost his patience.

Since Shen Tian's attack, Li Zhao has not been very comfortable with Yang Mingsheng, and he has been under house arrest.

"Brother Mingsheng, I've been doing well lately. Deng Xin smiled and walked into the house.

Yang Mingsheng said lightly: "Don't worry about food or clothing, there are books to read, it's not bad."

"Dashuai is going to Chengdu in a few days, and I can't come to see you." Deng Xin said.

"If there is anything between you and me, just say it directly, don't go around the corner. Dashuai doesn't plan to see me, right?"

"Brother Mingsheng, you should understand. There is no time, it's time to make a choice.

"Why you have to make a choice, I don't know. Yang Mingsheng said angrily.

Deng Xin secretly sighed, he couldn't imagine that this Yang Mingsheng was so stubborn, he really couldn't keep it now, and was about to ask him if he had any last words.

Yang Mingsheng changed his words and said categorically: "I, Yang Mingsheng, have always been loyal to the handsome, please help me tell me, I am willing to saddle the horse for the handsome, and I will not give up."

Deng Xin was slightly stunned, didn't he say that he should have the style of a literati? This has become too fast.

Seeing that Deng Xin didn't speak, Yang Mingsheng looked a little anxious, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and tell the marshal, I am willing to be loyal to the marshal."

Deng Xin ignored him and retreated silently. When I was a child, I asked Mr. Jiaoshu a question, what is a smart person in the world? What is a stupid person?

Mr. said: "Throughout the ages, those who know the times are handsome.

Two days later, outside Nanzheng City, there was a sea of people, and everyone was excited.

Li Zhao left 30,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and ordered Qi Jingyun to garrison Liucheng, and Wang Yankai to continue to defend Nanzheng. All the others followed him into Shu.
