Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Because Li Zhao was extremely disgusted with Zhu Fan, even if Zhu Wei surrendered, he still did not survive, and the entire Zhu family was slaughtered. The money and grain that the Zhu family had accumulated for more than ten years were all shipped to Chengdu.

The only remaining forces in the south are the barbarians in the mountains and forests.

"Yongzhe and Qu Sang have both run away, do you want to chase down. Han Zhiyuan asked.

Chen Zhe hesitated a little, "What do you mean?" "

In the past, Deng Yongqi rarely entered the mountains and forests, so you might as well tell the commander the result of this battle first, and we will temporarily be stationed in Xinyi City."

"Well, that's fine.

A few days later, the two received a letter from Li Zhao, and there was only one word on the letter: "Burn!"

The two looked at each other, understood Li Zhao's plan, and were shocked in their hearts.

The Zhaowu army carried a large amount of fire oil, and whenever they encountered a mountain forest, they would sprinkle fire oil in the forest and set fire to the forest.

The disadvantage of this is that the Zhaowu army is advancing too slowly, but it is better to be safe, and there is no need to worry about being ambushed by brutes or sneak attacks by hidden arrows.

For the barbarians, these mountains and forests are the places they rely on for survival, and now they are being wantonly burned by others, who can bear it.

Yongzhe and Qu Sang united with other barbarians to repeatedly attack the Zhaowu army, but they were all repulsed.

The main work of the Zhaowu army every day, in addition to arson, is still arson.

The incineration area is getting wider and wider, and the flames are getting bigger and bigger. The flames were raging, engulfing everything.

It was only then that the barbarians really felt the fear.

Li Zhao sent a letter to give them two choices. Either wait to be burned to death, or go out of the mountains and forests and surrender to the Zhaowu army.

After surrendering, you can participate in the construction of a new new castle. Once the city was built, the barbarians could live in it. And outside the city, they divided fields for them, so that they could cultivate them in normal times and hunt in the mountains and forests.

In order to strengthen the rule and education of the barbarians, officials will be sent to Xinyi City in the future.

Some agree, some firmly oppose.

In Qu Sang's view, if he agreed to Li Zhao's conditions, maybe his life would improve, but he would also lose his freedom.

With the help of the barbarians who returned to Shun, Han Zhiyuan led his troops to destroy Qu Sang.

As the barbarians continued to surrender to the Zhaowu army, Nanzhong was basically pacified, and it was only a matter of time before the remaining diehards were eliminated. In the entire Shu region, there is no force that can threaten Li Zhao.

Only when the internal stability is that the Zhaowu army has no worries, can it rest assured that it will be able to go east in the future.

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

After Chen Jin resigned, Zhou Zhaopeng, the former secretary of the household department, served as the new Zhongshu Order.

The top priority of the imperial court was to recover Shu and Hanzhong as soon as possible. Zhou Zhaopeng begged to see Emperor Jiang Ningxian of Qi and suggested that he appoint Liu Zhijie as the commander-in-chief, commanding 200,000 troops to crusade against Li Zhao.

Jiang Ningxian hesitated for a long time, agreed to his suggestion, and sent someone to summon Liu Zhijie.

Liu Zhijie said that he was unwell and asked the emperor to come to his house in person to talk.

Jiang Ningxian was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't want to go to Liufu. Zhou Zhaopeng strongly said that except for Liu Zhijie, looking at the entire Qi country, no one could recover Shu.

Jiang Ningxian had no choice but to go to Liufu.

After the two met, in order to pretend to be some, Liu Zhijie kept lying on the bed, saying that he was riddled with evil diseases, unable to get up, and did not salute the emperor.

There is an eyeliner installed by the emperor in Liufu, and according to the secret agent, Liu Zhijie has always been in good health. I ate the whole roast chicken yesterday and drank a lot of wine, so it is impossible to be sick and bedridden today.

knew that Liu Zhijie did it on purpose, but now that he had a request, he could only swallow the evil anger in his heart temporarily. After all, he has been an emperor for many years, and Jiang Ningxian's acting skills are still good.

No matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, always have good words. not only restored Liu Sixing's position as the right attendant of the military department, but also married the princess to Liu Zhijie's eldest grandson.

Liu Zhijie reluctantly agreed to lead the troops to the battle, and Jiang Ningxian left satisfied.

After the emperor left, the eldest son Liu Sixing was puzzled: "Father really wants to lead the troops to the battle?"

"Hmm."

"With my father's wisdom, how could I not see that the emperor did not trust my father. When you return victorious, you will be suppressed again. It is even said that it will cause death because of its high merits. Liu Sixing said worriedly.

Liu Zhijie's expression was complicated and he was silent.

Liu Sixing didn't want Liu Zhijie to lead the troops, so he persuaded: "Father, have you forgotten, you once told me that Jiang Ningxian is suspicious by nature." For the sake of the future of the Liu family, you also sent Lu Boliang to Hanzhong to lay out, planning to move the whole family to Hanzhong in the future. Although it didn't work out in the end, my family could go to other places, such as Lingnan or Mindi. As long as Li Zhao is not eliminated, Jiang Ningxian will never attack his father. When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, my family can move back to Jinling.

As if thinking of something, Liu Sixing said tentatively: "Father, could it be because of Shen Tian's blood letter that you agreed to the emperor."

Seeing his father's face moved, Liu Sixing was even more sure of his thoughts.

On that day, Yang Xu returned to Jinling in embarrassment, rushed straight into Liufu, knelt on the ground and cried. After that, he relayed what Shen Tian said and handed over the blood book he wrote to Liu Zhijie.

After Liu Zhijie finished reading it, he didn't say anything. A man sat in the courtyard and drank in silence until dawn.

Soon after the defeat of Shen Tian's army, the emperor held a great court meeting to discuss the affairs of Shudi, and asked Liu Zhijie to participate in the court meeting for the first time. Liu Sixing thought that he would not go, but Liu Zhijie did. Even Chen Jin couldn't understand why Liu Zhijie agreed to participate in the court meeting.

A strong emotion surged into his heart, and Liu Sixing felt so uncomfortable. It turned out that my father had never changed. Even if my father is a smart man who has seen everything through, he will still make unwise choices.

"Father, why do you bother? Let's not mention that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qi country, which is far from the point of destroying the country. Even if the Qi State really dies, the people of Li and the history books of later generations will not blame you. Liu Sixing sighed.

"That armor in my house is covered with dust, you go clean it up. Liu Zhijie said expressionlessly.

Knowing that Liu Zhijie didn't want to talk about it anymore, Liu Sixing had no choice but to leave.

After Jiang Ningxian returned to the palace, he quickly issued an edict, appointing Liu Zhijie as the commander-in-chief, waving his troops to the west and destroying Li Zhao.

The government and the opposition, including Liu Zhijie himself, all thought that Liu Zhijie's command of the army was a foregone conclusion.

Unexpectedly, in Jinling City, there was a sudden news: Li Zhao and Liu Zhijie's second son, Liu Sihong, traveled together and talked happily.

Under Li Zhao's "suggestion", Liu Sihong took the initiative to write a letter to Liu Zhijie, asking him not to lead the troops, but to return to the Zhaowu army as soon as possible, and scolded Jiang Ningxian in his heart for being mean and unkind.

Coincidentally, this letter fell into Jiang Ningxian's hands. After being identified by many parties, it was determined that it was Liu Sihong's handwriting, and it was definitely not forged.

Zhou Zhaopeng hurriedly entered the palace and said to Jiang Ningxian: "I hope Your Majesty will ignore such a shoddy divisive plan." "

Liu Zhijie has 200,000 soldiers and horses, in case he surrenders to Li Zhao, who can afford it?" Jiang Ningxian said coldly.

"General Liu would never do such a thing.

"Needless to say, I have my own plans!" The

next day, a decree came out from the palace, because Liu Zhijie was old and weak, he was allowed to recuperate at home, and Zhang Yanxia, who was stationed in Mindi, was reappointed as the chief general of the army.

As soon as the news came out, the government and the opposition were in an uproar.

Liu Zhijie was furious, threw his beloved armor into the pond, and swore that he would never see Jiang Ningxian again in this life.
