Everyone in Hanzhong County didn't know that Xiao Zhao's order to dispatch troops and generals had been issued. Within three days, the surrounding states and counties would respond.
Not only the soldiers and horses on the surface, but also the monsters hiding in the dark will take action together.
Generally speaking, to quell a small rebellion like Hanzhong County, there is no need to deploy such a large force. There is no surplus in the national treasury, and a lot of money and food are consumed in fighting a battle.
But Yan Qingqiu made it clear to him that Xiao Zhao would certainly not underestimate this Greedy Wolf Star.
He decided to use thunderous means to kill Greedy Wolf Star in one fell swoop.
Whether you can go against nature or not, success or failure depends on this!
Due to intelligence differences, Liu Jian and Xiao Yue are still discussing development strategies.
Since he had already leaked the information to Ji Yi before, and Xiao Yue had shown sincerity in letting him continue to lead his troops, Liu Jian did not want to be too stingy and make others laugh.
He then talked about his original arrangement, to encroach on Liangzhou and sneak into Yinping.
This plan is very good, but Xiao Yue has no intention of using it.
She hasn't had a good relationship with Ji Yi yet, but her ideas are surprisingly similar to Ji Yi's.
The pursuit of Yizhou seemed stable, but it also lost its enterprising spirit.
Moreover, the news of their rebellion will spread back to Jiankang in a short time. By then, Xiao Zhao will send troops to encircle and suppress Yizhou. How can Yizhou defeat the world?
Instead of sitting back and defending, it is better to take the initiative.
However, Xiao Yue looked at the map and realized that in the land of Hanzhong, even if he wanted to take the initiative, it would not be an easy task.
To the north is the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Attacking the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time will only invite attacks from two sides.
Jingzhou to the south is an important defensive area. It is unrealistic for these tens of thousands of troops to capture Jingzhou.
The further east you go, the more Xiao Zhao's territory becomes. Yongzhou is a prosperous place in the Central Plains and occupies a very important position in Xiao Zhao's territory.
It is impossible to seize it.
There are four directions. After careful consideration, entering Yizhou is indeed the best way.
But Xiao Yue had an intuition that she had gained this little foundation through hard work. If she thought about stability now, she would probably have no future in the future.
This was just intuition, but Xiao Yue also understood what was in her heart.
She doesn't like to work hard.
You only have one life, who would be willing to trade it for something?
When you have nothing, of course you will want to fight for your life. Anyway, there is nothing to lose.
But now that she has certain things, and it seems that her life will not be in danger in a short time, is there any reason to fight for her life?
Xiao Yue asked herself, if she had tens of thousands of troops before, she would never take the risk to seize the camp.
The situation seems to be the same now, and it's time for her to make a choice again.
With the little power she has in her hands, if she wants to seek the throne and usurp the throne, she can use small things to win big things, but if she doesn't go all out, why should she use small things to win big things?
"I have a plan. Go north to attack Wei, and then you can put it to death and survive."
When Xiao Yue expressed her thoughts, Chen Nan and Liu Jian were stunned for a moment.
Where did Princess Tianxuan get her courage?
Going north to conquer Wei, these four words make people's blood boil with excitement, but Liu Jian deeply understands the price of blood.
The Liu and Song dynasties were ruined because of these four words. Restore the Han Dynasty and drive out the Tartars. What man is not passionate about such slogans?
Liu Jian was not against the Northern Expedition, but he blindly pursued the Northern Expedition and was eager for quick success. This is a lesson.
So when Xiao Yue said excitedly about going north to conquer Wei, Liu Jian felt bad.
"Why does the princess have such an idea? Aren't we going to fight against rebellion?"
Liu Jian was very anxious, but Xiao Yue was excited and calm.
She was excited because she thought she had come up with a brilliant idea, and calm because she had already thought about how to implement the decision and the benefits of it.
"We do want to attack the rebels, but the rebels are powerful and only you and I can defeat them."
"Then we already need to face strong enemies. If we provoke the Northern Wei Dynasty again, wouldn't we be asking for death?"
"That's not the case. If we go to war with the imperial court in Hanzhong County, we will be attacked from both sides. The Northern Wei Dynasty may take advantage of the internal strife in our court and wait for an opportunity to go south. When the time comes, if we fight among ourselves, won't we let outsiders take advantage?
Or maybe they will cooperate with the rebels, putting us in a dilemma. In this case, we might as well do the opposite and break into the Northland alone with our troops. We are also fighting alone, but we only need to face one enemy.
First, we can use the Northern Wei Dynasty to train troops, secondly, we can avoid being pursued by the court, and thirdly, we can avoid internal fighting and let the Northern Wei Dynasty take advantage. It can be said that this is killing three birds with one stone."
When Chen Nan heard this, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This princess really has something. Although the plan is very risky and seems a bit outrageous, in this situation, he can think of this strategy and deserve his admiration.
.
Liu Jian naturally disagreed. Such risky behavior was no different from committing suicide.
As it happened, Xiao Yue didn't care either.
"General Liu, why not, since we have different opinions, why not divide the army into two groups and follow your plan to take over the land of Qin and Liang, steal Yinping, and enter Yizhou.
I took a group of soldiers and horses and went deep into the Northern Wei Dynasty to develop secretly.
How about you and I helping each other and letting each other know what we need?"
Liu Jian really didn't expect that Xiao Yue would say such words. Couldn't she see that he was not of the same mind as her?
How dare she feel so relieved?
For a moment, Liu Jian felt a little embarrassed.
It was a bit unethical to deceive a little girl, but he really couldn't refuse the offer.
Chen Nan saw what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to stand up and agreed to the proposal on behalf of Liu Jian. He admired Xiao Yue even more in his heart.
Although she is a woman, her pride is not inferior to that of a man.
In this way, they can be regarded as reaching a consensus.
Hanzhong County was handed over to Liu Jian and he was conferred the title of General of the Conquest of the West. This kind of conferment in the opposition was almost the same as proclaiming himself king. It was just a positioning that represented the relationship between the two people.
In name, Princess Tianxuan is the boss, that's all.
The boss has given benefits to the second brother, and of course he needs some too.
All she wants is Hanzhong County's 30,000 soldiers, as well as matching horses, weapons, armor, and a certain amount of food and grass.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These will be provided by Chen Nan, which is equivalent to spending money to buy Hanzhong County City, that's what it means.
Both parties were very satisfied with the result. Naturally, they had a very happy conversation. After making an agreement, they returned to their camps.
Xiao Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the camp.
Negotiating with people is really hard work.
When she returned to the camp, someone came to report her immediately.
Previously, she sent someone to bring people from outside the city into the city, but she happened to encounter Wu Sheng causing trouble.
The two hundred or so people who escaped felt that Xiao Yue had brought people in to die, and they would definitely not be able to come back.
Under Wu Sheng's instigation, everyone took Wu Sheng as their leader.
At this time, Wu Sheng no longer had the same heroic spirit as before. He had finally thought about it. What if a person with no identity like him had some ideas and skills?
No matter how nice he says it, when others hear that there is a princess over there, they will immediately bow their heads under her skirt, so they will not care about him.
And if he really brings these miscellaneous fish with him, what else can he accomplish other than occupying the mountain and becoming the king of the bandits?
Conquer a city?
Stop being funny.
After thinking about this, Wu Sheng became more open-minded.
Since it can only cost the life of a bandit, it is better to grab it now.
He was right, those princesses had a lot of money in their hands, and the Taoist priest who rescued them was kind-hearted, and everyone paid a sum of money. When all was said and done, it was a large amount of money.
If they robbed everyone's money, why not become rich?
When Wu Sheng said these words to a few people who he saw were very ambitious, they immediately became interested.
Among the more than two hundred people who escaped, some were really timid and cowardly, while others were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Xiao Yue. If they really encountered tangible benefits, how could they not be moved?
If they can't defeat soldiers, how can they defeat a group of women and children?
Not to mention that among those women, there are many good-looking ones and some bad-looking ones, who would not be chosen to be the cauldron.
You already have women and money, why don’t you try to rob him?
So, among these two hundred people, nearly a hundred people followed Wu Sheng and prepared to become thieves with him.
The first thing you do when you are a thief is of course to have a good time when you go back.
Previously, everyone was in trouble, without food and clothing, and their thoughts were confused. Although some people had lustful intentions, they couldn't show it openly and were worried about being beaten. Now that they are grouped together, what else is there to be afraid of?
However, their luck is really bad.
Those women and children who were left in the mountains and forests really had no protection. Xiao Yue was in the city, Ji Yi was also in the city, and even the demon-slaying sword was not there.
Who can save these weak women in the deep mountains and old forests?
But by chance, a cat lady appeared in this place.
The dark cloud came after Ji Yi's aura, and she couldn't have telepathy like she was looking for her master, so she could only rely on her aura to track him.
Ji Yi's aura leaked very little, so Xiao Wuyun could only look for the aura of the demon-slaying sword, which was easier to identify. After several searches, Xiao Wuyun came to the simple camp of the survivors.
There are traces of the Demon Slayer Sword here, but Lin Yi is nowhere to be found.
Wu Yun had a headache. He promised to come to him if anything happened, but now he can't be found.
In desperation, she had no choice but to write a letter and lie down.
Wu Yun understood that according to Ji Yi's character, he would definitely not leave these defenseless mortals alone. There had been precedents before.
The aura of the Demon-Slaying Sword is very strong here, indicating that the Demon-Slaying Sword has stayed here for a long time. This is evidence that Lin Yi will not let go of these mortals.
If he's not here, he must have something to do. She can just wait here.
This time, Wu Sheng and his gang arrived.
Seeing that they were about to do bad things, Wu Yun certainly wouldn't ignore them. She didn't kill them, she just blew out a gust of wind to make it difficult for these people to move.
Wu Sheng and others encountered ghosts attacking the wall and were trapped in the mist. When the people sent by Xiao Yue came over and asked the frightened companions, they found out what they had done. Then they tied them back and returned.
Come and report to Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue was originally thinking of a way to get rid of Wu Sheng, which would not only make people feel sad but also solve this disaster, but she didn't expect that this man would bring the clue to his door.
"Then Wu Sheng is also a talented person. It's a pity. Give him some money and send him away..."
Xiao Yue thought for a moment and then made a decision.
She was about to become Lin Yi's teacher, and she didn't know what Lin Yi thought of her secretly. She had better be kind and gentle to avoid misunderstanding.
Sure enough, just after she sent them away, Ji Yi's voice rang in her ears...
