Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Let Shi Ai lead the troops to the battle, not on a whim of Li Zhao, let alone because he has the word "Ai" in his name.

During the last battle of Hanzhong, Shi Ai made many suggestions, and Li Zhao basically adopted them all. For the Zhaowu army to seize Hanzhong, a great contribution was made.

Shen Ning's strategy is not inferior to Shi Ai, but Shen Ning is not a military general, but like a scholar, his body is not strong enough. The mountain road to be taken in this surprise attack on Chengdu is not an ordinary steep, and it is estimated that he will not be able to bear it; if he accidentally falls off the cliff, Li Zhaoneng will regret his death. And after this big victory, no matter how stupid Emperor Jiang Ningxian is, he will not delay any longer. It is estimated that it will not be long before tens of thousands of Qi troops will be killed in Hanzhong, and this battle will not be too easy, with Shen Ning by his side, Li Zhaoneng will be more assured.

As for the others, they are either inadequate in strategy or have other responsibilities. Thinking about it, Shi Ai is the most suitable. And there is news from Heibingtai's secret agents in Guanzhong, and there is trouble in Hebei Town. A month ago, Dugu Ling led tens of thousands of iron horsemen to set off from Tongguan and enter Luoyang, ready to kill Hebei at any time. There is a high probability that Wei will not attack Hanzhong at present, and Shi Aike does not need to stay in the north for the time being.

After receiving the order, Shi Ai did not delay for a moment and soon arrived in Nanzheng.

Li Zhao was having lunch in the mansion, and when he heard that Shi Ai was coming, he was a little surprised that he came so quickly, and asked his subordinates to lead him into the mansion.

"The last general has seen the great handsome. Shi Ai hugged his fists.

"Have you eaten any food?"

"

Sit down and have a bite to eat, and we'll talk while we eat."

"Xie Dashuai. After Shi Ai sat down, the maid quickly added a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

Li Zhao asked, "Do you know why Ben Shuai called you?"

Shi Ai just put a piece of fat in his mouth, but before he swallowed it, he spoke in a slump and looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Zhao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, eat slowly."

The maid immediately brought over a glass of water, Shi Ai picked up the water cup and poured two sips, "The last general is rude, I hope the handsome will forgive me."

"It's okay, it's just a small thing.

"The last general doesn't know what the marshal is going to do, but he guesses that it should be related to Shudi. Shi Ai Dao.

"There is a small road to the west of Jianmen Pass, which is extremely steep, and it is full of high mountains and mountains. I will give you 20,000 soldiers and horses, and from here you will enter Shu and attack Chengdu. Li Zhao said bluntly.

"The last will obey.

Seeing that Shi Ai agreed so happily, Li Zhao was a little uneasy, "Do you know how difficult this road is?"

"The difficulty of Shu Road is known to the world.

"What you want to do this time is just to capture Chengdu?" Li Zhao looked at Shi Ai, expecting to hear a satisfactory answer.

Shi Ai pondered for a moment and said, "With 20,000 troops, even if you conquer Chengdu, you won't be able to take Shudi." There should be two things that the commander wants to do. First, to contain the Qi army in Shu so that it could not send troops to Hanzhong in a big way. Second, threaten Jianmen Pass from behind, even if it cannot attack Jianmen, it must cut off its grain route; without food, Jianmen Pass will collapse without attacking. The Zhaowu army can enter Shu from the Sword Gate. After that, he continued to cook with his head bored.

"Yes, you're right. Li Zhao was in a wonderful mood, and Shi Ai understood his strategic planning very thoroughly.

As long as Shi Ai led his troops into Shu and successfully contained the local Qi army, it would greatly reduce the military pressure on Hanzhong. Li Zhao still has about 60,000 Zhaowu troops and more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands, so he can face the upcoming Qi army more calmly.

"General Ma Yanbin will go out with you this time, maybe there is a place that can help you, and Chen Lu You can also bring it, this kid's martial arts are not bad. In addition to grain and grass, axes, chisels, hemp ropes and other things must be brought. If you are worried that someone will get sick on the road, you can also bring a few Langzhong. Ben Shuai gives you ten days to prepare, and set off in ten days. "This trip can definitely be regarded as a military adventure, even if he believes in Shi Ai's ability, Li Zhao can't help but say a few more words.

"Yes.

"Is there anything else you need Ben to do for you?"

"No." Shi Ai was as concise as ever.

"After entering Shudi, if necessary, you can recruit soldiers in Shu by yourself. Li Zhao said.

Shi Ellio was a little surprised, according to military regulations, no general of the Zhaowu Army was allowed to recruit soldiers and horses privately. Said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the last general will never disappoint the marshal." "

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

Chen Ran still didn't know about Ma Yanbin's defeat, and he was not in a very good mood in the past two days. The eldest son's illness is getting worse and worse, and the second son, Chen Zitu, is missing. Only the concubine Chen Zihong often stayed by his eldest brother's bedside, which made Chen Ran feel a little comforted.

The housekeeper also said that he didn't know, saying that Chen Cheng often did things for the second son, maybe he knew.

Chen Ran called Chen Cheng to his study again and asked where Chen Zitu was? Seeing Chen Cheng spitting and spitting, Chen Ran had a bad premonition in his heart, and said sharply: "Didn't you send someone to find the woman from the Zhang family again?" Didn't I say it, let him stop looking for it. "

Second son, he ......... , he went out of the sword door and closed. Chen Cheng was scared and stammered.

"What! He actually went to Hanzhong, this bastard thing. Chen Ran stood up angrily and asked, "Who did he bring with him to Hanzhong?"

"The second prince wants to take away the guards of Jianmen Pass.

Chen Ran's heart shook suddenly, and he realized that the situation was not quite right, and stared at Chen Cheng: "What the hell is going on?"

Chen Cheng didn't dare to hide it, and 1510 said that Chen Zitu forged the letter and planned to deceive Ma Yanbin.

After hearing this, Chen Ran was shocked and angry, he never expected that Chen Zitu would be so bold. Suddenly thought of something, and asked, "In the mansion, apart from you, is there anyone else who knows about this?"

"Everyone else followed Gongzi out of the Sword Gate, and only the younger one in the mansion knew about it. Please rest assured, the little one will be tight-lipped. "

Good, good. Chen Ran's eyes were strange.

When the two were talking, someone came to report, and Wei Hongyang, the deputy general of Jianmen Pass, asked to see him.

"I'll go see him first, you wait for me in the study, don't leave.

Not long after Chen Ran left, several personal soldiers entered the study and strangled Chen Cheng to death with ropes.

Wei Hongyang looked anxious, and after seeing Chen Ran, he said, "I've seen Lord Chen."

"What happened, why was General Wei so flustered?" Chen Ran wondered.

Wei Hongyang defeated the Qi army and the Zhaowu army attacked Jianmen, and told Chen Ran in detail.

Chen Ran was stunned for a long time after hearing this, as if a thunderbolt hit him a sunny day. This is a full 30,000 Qi army, how should he explain to the imperial court. The imperial court was about to send troops to Hanzhong, and Shu was defeated at this critical time. He didn't know if the prince and Zhongshu Ling would protect him.

Chen Ran said angrily: "Ma Yanbin is greedy for merit and rash to open the sword gate without permission, and this assassin will never spare him." "
