Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

After Du An's departure, someone informed Fan Shuo that he wanted to see him.

Li Zhao didn't know much about Fan Shuo, and saw that he was a scholar before, so he arranged for him to assist Wang Zichen and Deng Xin to deal with some military chores.

Fan Shuo was nearly forty years old, dressed in green clothes, walked into the house, and saluted: "I've seen the handsome." "

You came to see Ben Shuai, is there anything wrong?" Li Zhao said curiously.

"My subordinates heard that someone in the army proposed to take advantage of Yang Xin's containment in Nanzheng to send troops to seize other cities in Hanzhong, but the marshal did not agree. I came to ask the marshal why he was reluctant to send troops. Fan Shuo said.

Li Zhao was suddenly unhappy in his heart, his face was ugly, who do you think you are, what is the use of these things to tell you, and said impatiently: "The matter of sending troops is not trivial, this is not something you should care about." If nothing else, go down first.

Fan Shuo saw that Li Zhao didn't want to say more, and knew that Li Zhao didn't trust him, so he said lightly: "In the next abruptness, I hope the marshal will forgive me." If the guess is correct, the marshal should be worried about Wei Jun.

Li Zhao's face was slightly surprised, this Fan Shuo seemed to have some ability, and he could actually guess what he was thinking," you continued.

"Now that Nanzheng is fighting fiercely, the Qi army will definitely send troops to rescue Nanzheng. And Li Kun, the son of Wei Tianzi, although he is old, his ambition is still there. If the marshal now sends troops to Hanzhong, he will definitely fight with the Qi army. When the two armies are in full swing, the Wei army will suddenly kill and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Then what should Ben Shuai do?" Li Zhao looked at Fan Shuo, expecting a satisfactory answer.

Fan Shuo smiled slightly, "This matter is not difficult, although the big handsome is in a hurry, but Emperor Wei Li Kun is also very anxious." There is chaos in Han, and such a thing will not necessarily happen once in fifty years. Emperor Wei will definitely not miss such a good opportunity. If the commander had not sent troops, or had simply gone down the mountain to loot and then retreat to the mountain, and the Zhaowu army had not fought with the Qi army, what would Emperor Wei do? Even if Emperor Wei knew the commander's intentions, he would still have taken advantage of the fierce battle between the Qi army and Yang Xin to send troops to seize Hanzhong.

Li Zhao laughed, "Ben Shuai understands, you mean, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, see who is more patient." "

Handsome and wise.

"Listening to your accent, you shouldn't be from Hanzhong, nor are you from Guanzhong. Li Zhao became curious about Fan Shuo.

"Don't hide it, I'm from Youzhou.

"Youzhou is thousands of miles away from Hanzhong, why did you get here?"

Fan Shuo's face was bitter, "His subordinate was originally a staff member in the mansion of Liu Tai, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu. Because he offended the Lord of the Jiedu Envoy, he was forced to flee to the south. I was going to escape to Chengdu, but because I ran out of entanglements, I happened to be recruiting Mr. Teach. By chance, he joined the Zhaowu Army.

Fan Shuo didn't tell the truth completely, the reason why he joined the Zhaowu Army was not only because of the lack of entanglement, but because he saw Li Zhao's "political test questions" and became curious about Li Zhao.

"What have you done? Li Zhao continued to ask, he planned to reuse Fan Shuo and wanted to know more.

"Liu Tai wants to go south to capture Yecheng, and I advise him not to send troops, otherwise he will definitely be defeated. Liu Tai didn't listen, and sure enough, the army was defeated. I took advantage of his unpreparedness and escaped from Youzhou.

Li Zhao was puzzled, "Since he lost and proved that you are right, why do you want to escape?"

Fan Shuo smiled bitterly: "If he wins, at most he will ridicule me." If I lose, with Liu Tai's mind, I will not be able to escape death.

Li Zhao was speechless in his heart, this kind of goods can also be used as a festival envoy.

"What is the strength of those

feudal towns in Hebei?" Fan Shuo's face was straight, and he said in a deep voice: "I advise the marshal not to underestimate them, these feudal towns, these feudal towns, have been fighting all year round, and they have always been brave." Guangyouzhou Festival envoy, no less than 100,000 corporals under his command. Liu Tai's third son, Liu Wenjun, is brave and resourceful, and can be called a handsome man in the world. With 10,000 iron hooves, he trampled through several tribes in the grassland and killed no less than 50,000 Hu people.

Li Zhao was silent for a while, and then smiled: "Let's talk about these things later." You have made a great contribution, and after you win this battle, this commander will reward you heavily, so you go down first. "

Xie Dashuai, I will say goodbye below. "

Fan Shuo is from the north and knows a lot about the northern feudal towns, so he may be able to help Li Zhao in this regard in the future.

There are some things that he can't tell Fan Shuo all. When discussing the dispatch of troops before, Wang Zichen, Liu Xuan, Zhou Wen and other people from the Yongwang Mansion did not participate in the discussion and remained silent.

Although these people are Li Zhao's subordinates, they grew up in Chang'an since they were children and have deep feelings for the Wei State. Many hoped that Li Zhao could assist the Wei army and seize Hanzhong, so that Emperor Li Kun would be absolved of their sins. What's more, they hope to rescue Yongwang Li Qi.

Compared to Li Zhao, Li Qi is their real master.

Of course, Li Zhao was unwilling, and even felt extremely angry.

He has been in Hanzhong for so long, no matter day or night, he has been desperately making money, food, and people, and has made great efforts. All of this was done not for the sake of the Wei State.

With a decision in his heart, the Zhaowu Army is about to usher in a big war, and the internal problems must be solved as soon as possible.

In the Zhaowu army, except for Li Zhao, there is no one who cannot be replaced.
