Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Tens of thousands of people marched towards Jianmen Pass.

Li Zhao was in a happy mood, sitting in a spacious carriage with Zhang Chuxuan and Li Ruohan, playing some small games.

When the Zhaowu Army was still in Heihuling, Li Ruohan couldn't leave Heihuling. After the Zhaowu army conquered Nanzheng, Li Ruohan could not leave the city. At first, she wondered why the guards at the gate knew her. Later, I figured out that from the moment she was brought to Black Tiger Ridge, some things were already doomed.

When they arrived at Jianmen Pass, Chen Zhe, Wei Hanchen and others were already waiting outside the gate.

After Li Zhao got out of the carriage, everyone hurriedly came over to salute.

"You've done a good job, and Ben Shuai is very satisfied. Li Zhao said to Chen Zhe.

Chen Zhe's face was overjoyed, and he bowed his head and said: "Xie Dashuai, this is the duty of the last general, and welcome Dashuai into the Sword Gate."

Li Zhao looked up at the steep Sword Gate Pass, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. It's too hard to win this level. Zhaowujun had used various methods before, but they were all rejected by Wei Hongyang. Li Zhao had no choice but to take the risk of letting Shi Ai bypass the Sword Gate, walk the cliffs, and attack Shu. It was not until the Zhaowu army defeated Shen Tian in Hanzhong, and Shi Ai conquered Chengdu in Shudi, flanked back and forth, and stormed Jianmen Pass, which was completely devoid of grain, grass and reinforcements, that he was forced to surrender.

Now that this danger has fallen into the hands of the Zhaowu army, it is no exaggeration to say that even if hundreds of thousands of Qi troops attack, Li Zhao will not be too worried. Liu Haoyan was appointed as the general of Jianmen Pass, and 10,000 troops were stationed here.

Li Zhao looked at Wei Hanchen, because Wei Hongyang committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, Wei Hanchen had a sad look in his eyes, and regretted that he didn't know his father well enough.

Li Zhao reassured him with kind words and promised not to forget the contribution of the Wei family.

After that, enter Jianmen Pass and continue to Chengdu.

Jianmen Pass is located at the northern edge of the Chengdu Plain (Sichuan Basin), and in the long geological tectonic movement, a monocline structure with steep north slope and gentle south slope of the Great and Small Jianshan Mountains has been formed, and there are many steep huge cliffs around it.

After entering the Chengdu Plain, the terrain becomes flat and the travel speed is much faster.

Li Zhao looked at the beautiful scenery on both sides, and his heart became more and more excited, chatting with Deng Xin, Fan Shuo and others while walking.

"In your opinion, can Shu land afford to raise an army of 100,000 people?"

"Shu has no war all year round, and there are many cities. Although there are no specific figures, it is certain that the population exceeds one million. Chengdu is a hundred miles away, all open plains, fertile land, convenient for the people to cultivate, naturally can afford to raise 100,000 troops. Deng Xin said.

Li Zhao roughly calculated, and with the addition of Hanzhong, the Zhaowu army could barely expand to 200,000 troops. And Shu and Hanzhong are both easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as they don't die, Qi can no longer help themselves. As for the Wei State, it has a lot of military pressure itself, and it is estimated that it has not been able to take care of Li Zhao in recent years.

Deng Xin was worried that Li Zhao was going to move troops again, so he persuaded: "Although the marshal has won Shudi, the hearts of the people in Shu are undecided. And in the past few months, our army has fought many battles, and the soldiers have become exhausted, and it is not suitable to use troops again. The handsome man should rest and recuperate and calm people's hearts.

"Especially in Nanzhong, there are more than 100,000 barbarians in the local area, and they will make trouble at every turn. Moreover, the Deng family in Nanzhong still has a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands, and the marshal needs to completely stabilize Shu first. Fan Shuo said.

Li Zhao nodded slightly, even if they didn't talk about this, the Zhaowu army would not attack Qi in the short term.

Although he has not arrived in Chengdu, there is already a mess waiting for him.

According to the report of the Black Ice Platform, Shi Ai has more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength is comparable to Li Zhao. Forty thousand of them were newly recruited, and they trusted Shi Ai more than Li Zhao. Some local Shu people even hoped that Shi Ai would establish himself as king in Chengdu.

Fortunately, Shi Ai did not have the intention of rebelling and was still loyal to Li Zhao, otherwise the problem would be serious.

Even if he trusts Shi Ai, he can't continue to hold so many troops, and all the officers and soldiers of the Zhaowu Army can only obey one person forever.

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

Ten miles outside Chengdu, Shi Ai and some generals in the army, as well as a group of people from Shu, have been waiting here for a long time.

By noon, Li Zhao's handsome banner finally appeared in the distance.

In order to show the strength of the Zhaowu Army, the most powerful and majestic group of people were singled out, wearing armor, long knives at their waists, striding and walking with dust.

Li Zhao was dressed in bright light armor, riding a horse, and was majestic.

It wasn't until everyone saluted that Li Zhao turned over and dismounted. With an amiable look, he said: "Ben Shuai first came to Shudi, and there was a delay on the way, which made you wait for a long time.

Chu Shiqun hurriedly said: "It is our honor for the handsome to enter Shu; no matter how long we wait, we should come." Chen Ran has no way, scourges Shudi, and the people live a difficult life. And the handsome man is wise and martial, and now he is ushering in the handsome, just like opening the clouds and seeing the blue sky. My Chu family is willing to work for the handsome dogs and horses.

If Chen Ran heard this, he would definitely shout that he was wronged. He is not Wang Jing, and he has never done anything to the Shu people.

Jiang Han was slightly stunned, the last time Shi Ai entered Chengdu, he didn't see Chu Shiqun's posture, not to be left behind, he stepped forward and said: "The last general, Jiang Han, is willing to charge for the commander." Li

Zhao said secretly, let you fight for me, wouldn't I be dizzy. smiled and said: "Everyone's mind, this handsome has already understood." Shu has been full of talents since ancient times, and there are many handsome people, and the future governance of Shu is inseparable from your help.

Chu Shiqun heard that Li Zhao hinted that he would continue to reuse the Shu people, and he was overjoyed.

Some Haoqiang were a little surprised when they saw Li Zhao. After hearing a lot about Li Zhao, I thought he was fierce, but I didn't expect him to be so young and look quite kind.

However, Haoqiang is not so stupid, people can't be good-looking, everyone understands this truth, since Li Zhao dares to occupy the land of Qi State, how can he be a soft-hearted person.

So they all stated that as long as Li Zhao needed it, they would provide a lot of money and food for Zhaowujun at any time.

Li Zhao's words are all good to appease, and the current focus is on "stability". Even if you see who is unhappy, you won't do it so quickly.

After Shi Ai and the others greeted Li Zhao, they were about to speak. Li Zhao suddenly patted him on the shoulder, looked at him fixedly, and said with a smile: "You really surprised Ben Shuai this time." Without you, Ben Shuai may not be able to win against Shen Tian.

Li Zhao told the truth in the first half of the sentence, not only him, but many generals of the Zhaowu Army did not expect that Shi Ai's performance would be so good. Its excellent strategy is enough to be compared with Shen Ning. There is no doubt that Shi Ai was the first hero of this battle.

"The handsome is too modest, even if there is no general, the handsome can ...........

" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zhao, "Between you and me, there is no need to say these flattering words." If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after entering the city. "
