After hearing Jia Xu's analysis, Yuan Shu nodded directly.
"Lord, since there is nothing going on here, let me go to Chengdu in person."
Seeing that Yuan Shu agreed with his idea, Jia Xu directly expressed his request to go there in person with clasped fists.
"You want to go to Chengdu in person?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Jia Xu, wondering what he wanted to do.
"Lord, contacting the nobles in Chengdu is a delicate job. If you send someone randomly, you probably won't be able to impress them. But if I go, it will be different. Only by giving them enough attention can we make them feel our sincerity. This matter is also
Easier to achieve.”
Seeing Yuan Shu's doubts, Jia Xu just smiled and explained the reason why he went.
"you sure?
Don’t you have any other ideas?”
Although what Jia Xu said made sense, Yuan Shu was still a little confused. He always had a bad feeling when looking at Jia Xu.
"How could I have other ideas? My lord is overly worried."
Jia Xu was still smiling and hugged Yuan Shu directly.
"Okay, then you can go there in person, but one thing is, don't create too many details, do you understand?"
Now that Jia Xu has said so, Yuan Shu has nothing to say, and what he said is indeed true. Sending people over casually may not be able to negotiate this matter. If Jia Xu goes there, he will be the one to plan the matter.
Nine times out of ten it will be successful.
"Jia Xu understands."
"Dianwei."
"exist."
When he heard Yuan Shu calling him, Dian Wei stepped forward and clasped his fists at Yuan Shu.
"You select fifty elite men to protect Mr. Jia Xu. Remember to ensure his safety."
In order to protect Jia Xu, Yuan Shu also directly sent Dian Wei there.
"Dian Wei takes the order."
A carriage left Yuan Shu's camp and quietly headed towards Chengdu across Mianzhu, escorted by Dian Wei and fifty fine cavalry.
Yuan Shu was cheering here, but Mianzhu City was gloomy and gloomy. Originally, Liu Bei and the Nanman soldiers combined to have an army of 240,000, but both sides had their own plans. In the end, only less than 100,000 soldiers and horses retreated to Mianzhu City.
people.
"Zhongde, what should we do now?"
Liu Bei glanced at Cheng Yu in front of him. To be honest, this battle was completely different from what he thought. Even after all calculations, he still didn't expect that the Nanman people were so useless and vulnerable. If he hadn't saved Meng out of kindness,
Once they enter the city, 150,000 Nanman people may become history immediately.
"Lord, we still have less than 100,000 troops. It will not be easy for Yuan Shu to take us down rashly. What I am afraid of now is not Yuan Shu, but Chengdu."
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Bei in front of him. Now he was not afraid of Yuan Shu sending troops to attack him. What he was really afraid of was that Yuan Shu would drain the firewood and dig out his lair.
"You mean Yuan Shu will send people to Chengdu to unite with the local nobles in Yizhou?"
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Liu Bei also thought of the power of it. If Yuan Shu really did this, Mianzhu might be doomed.
"Well, it's very possible."
Cheng Yu nodded, knowing that Liu Bei already knew the power of it.
"So what do we do now?"
Since Cheng Yu said this, it would be troublesome.
"Lord, we should send people to Chengdu immediately. If there is any trouble, don't hesitate to send troops to suppress it immediately. We must ensure the absolute safety of Chengdu. Otherwise, once Chengdu changes, we will be finished."
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and directly gave Liu Bei this suggestion.
"Okay, send people to Chengdu immediately. If there is any change, suppress it immediately."
A flash of light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes. If the local nobles in Yizhou really want to be duplicitous and swing from side to side, then don't blame yourself for being ruthless. In order to save Yizhou, he doesn't mind being an executioner.
"Lord, I think it's better for me to go to Chengdu in person, otherwise I'm afraid of trouble."
Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Bei and directly proposed the idea of going there in person.
"Zhongde, what will Mianzhu do if you go?"
When he heard that Cheng Yu was going to go in person, Liu Bei was also stunned. He must know that Cheng Yu was his only resource, and if he left, he would feel a little unreasonable.
"Lord, I don't have much role here now. In terms of marching and commanding, and defending the city, I am not as good as your lord or the second general. Instead of staying here, it is better to go to Chengdu and keep what we have gained there."
Cheng Yu shook his head. He was a counselor, not a military commander. There was no use for him in Mianzhu now, so it would be better to go to Chengdu and take charge.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Zhongde."
Now that Cheng Yu has said so, Liu Bei has nothing more to say. Chengdu is too important to be missed, and with Cheng Yu in charge, it can be considered as a gain.
"Okay, before I leave, I want to remind my lord that now that the Nanman people have entered the city, we must isolate them from contact with the Yizhou soldiers. After all, the two sides have been feuding for a long time. Once it breaks out, it will be uncontrollable. Remember, remember."
Cheng Yu clasped his fists at Liu Bei, and at the same time once again told him the key points of getting along with the Nanman people.
"Okay, I know."
Yuan Shu also cupped his fists towards Cheng Yu.
"My lord, then Cheng Yu will leave under restricted travel conditions."
"Chang Yun, arrange for fifty cavalry to escort Mr. Zhongde to Chengdu."
"promise."
Soon Cheng Yu left Mianzhu, escorted by fifty cavalry, and ran towards Chengdu.
Mianzhu City, which had just experienced a war, fell into calm again. Liu Bei and the Nanman people were licking their wounds, and Yuan Shu was resting while waiting for the results of Jia Xu's departure to Chengdu.
Just when the Southern Barbarians were sending troops, Samoko, the barbarian king of Wuxi, also united with the barbarians in Jingzhou and directly launched a rebellion. Samoko's 50,000 mercenaries came out of Wuxi and attacked Chenyang directly.
Chenyang County was caught off guard and was captured directly. After capturing Chenyang, the army went straight to Qianling.
Lingling and Guiyang each had 40,000 to 50,000 troops occupying Duliang and Nanping counties respectively. After taking this place, they also marched westward together, heading to Wuling County to return to Samoko.
The news that Shamoko led the Jingzhou barbarians to resist also spread quickly, and it was passed directly to Zhang He who was sitting in Jiangling.
"You said that Wuxi Barbarian King Shamoke and the barbarians from Lingling and Guiyang launched a rebellion and occupied Nanping, Duliang and Chenyang?"
After hearing the news from various places, Zhang He was immediately stunned.
"Well, the barbarians from Lingling and Guiyang have captured the two counties. After plundering them, they are leading their tribes directly towards Wuling County. It looks like they are planning to join forces with Samoko."
The scout nodded to Zhang He and at the same time told the barbarian's next move.
"It's really amazing. Originally, I believed in the goodness of God and didn't want to cause more killings, but these barbarians were looking for death. I immediately gathered my troops and informed Zhang Liao to immediately lead the bandit army to return with me. I also sent others to Nanyang and Xiangyang.
, mobilize the 50,000 militiamen there to go south to Jiangling, and send people to inform them."
Hearing the scout say that the barbarians wanted to unite, Zhang He could only smile slightly. There is a way to heaven that you don't want to take, and there is no way to hell. You are seeking death on your own, so don't blame me for killing you.
"promise."
With Zhang He's order, the 50,000 Jianzhong Army immediately began to prepare for war, hoarding countless military supplies and preparing to send troops at any time, while his scouts also dispersed.
After Zhang Liao, who was in charge of Jiangxia, received Zhang He's message, he left Nanling with 20,000 bandit troops and headed towards Jiangling to meet Zhang He. At the same time, the militia stationed in Xiangyang and Nanyang also headed towards Jiangling under the leadership of the captain.
Tian Feng finally got the news.
After receiving the news, he did not dare to neglect and ran towards Jiangling under the escort of a thousand cavalry. At the same time, a telegram was sent to Yuan Shu who was far away in Yizhou.
"Lord, Yuan Hao urgently reports."
Yan Liang came directly to Yuan Shu with Tian Feng's telegram.
"Yuan Hao urgent report?"
Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard that the telegram was from Tian Feng. Now that the four sides are in peace, why would Tian Feng suddenly send a telegram?
After receiving the telegram, Yuan Shu began to read the contents of the telegram.
