So, in the future, whether to go northwest or southeast.
Zhu Yixi thought for a moment, then looked at the latter's scrutinizing eyes, and her heart moved.
Is he continuing to test himself?
A king chooses his ministers and chooses his king at the same time. This has been the case throughout the ages.
"Gongchang Mansion, I won't consider it."
Zhu Yixi looked at him and said word by word.
"Oh? Why is this?"
Zhao Shu looked like he was all ears.
"Gansu Town already has a great man. I, a guerrilla general, obviously do not receive hospitality. Moreover, I am very dangerous."
Zhu Yixi relied on the memory in her mind and said confidently: "It's no surprise that the intruders who entered the pass must have been elite troops. There are very few troops left behind in Huguang."
"And this is also our opportunity, an opportunity to expand our strength."
There was something Zhu Yixi didn't say, but both of them understood it.
The Huguang area no longer belongs to the Ming Dynasty, but belongs to Baidi, an occupied area.
But by seizing this place, the imperial court would be forced to recognize Zhu Yixi's occupation of it.
What makes Zhu Yixi even more satisfied is that here, he can be driven by himself and paint without any restrictions.
Zhao Shu smiled and asked: "Isn't the general afraid of intruders and Western thieves?"
"The moment Zhang Xianzhong became king, the intruders and the western thieves had already parted ways."
Zhu Yixi said confidently: "We are not far away if we defeat each one.
Furthermore, the essence of the world is all in the southeast. Instead of going to the southeast, I went to the northwest. Isn't this going against the trend?"
"Okay, great."
Zhao Shu clapped his hands and praised: "General, this kind of insight is rare in the world."
Only then did he truly confirm that Zhu Yixi did have some long-term vision of his own, which is very rare in this world today.
Make up your mind and devote yourself to him wholeheartedly.
Of course, as a scholar, he had deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty. He would never make a choice to join other warriors or rebel against the army.
However, Zhu Yixi is different. He is not only a martial artist, but also a clan member.
Under today's unavailable conditions, it is understandable to recommend another member of the Zhu family.
"Lord!" Zhao Shu suddenly bowed ninety degrees and said solemnly: "Zhao Shu, Zhao Shizhi, now coincides with the Ming Dynasty, and I am very lucky."
With the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the word lord has spread throughout the world.
The particularity of this word is that it is a title exclusive to Liu Bei.
Hearing this word, Zhu Yixi thought of Liu Bei. When he thought about it carefully, he was really similar.
It's just that I yearn for Prime Minister Cao more.
"Sir, you are too outspoken."
Zhu Yixi's eyebrows were filled with joy and she hurriedly helped her.
"The distinction between monarch and minister must not be careless."
Zhao Shu shook his head stubbornly.
Then he quickly stood up, sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and said easily:
"My lord, choosing Yunyang Mansion is a wise choice."
Zhu Yixi was amazed by this change of face.
"Why is this?"
"Yunyang Mansion was actually occupied by the surrendered general Hui Deng and Wang Guangen. It was surrounded and suppressed several times by Li Zicheng but failed. In May, Gao Jie also sent troops to help him fight against the thieves."
Zhao Shu said softly: "He has been besieged by the intruders for several months, and his troops are already exhausted. When the Lord's divine soldiers move east, he will have no choice but to surrender."
"Great."
Zhu Yixi praised: "It's just that it's not the right time yet."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "Yunyang Mansion is mostly mountainous. It was where Emperor Xianzong settled the refugees in the past. The land is barren and the people are poor. I'm afraid the winter will be difficult."
"When the time comes, it will be our opportunity."
When he first came to the throne, he tried his best to solve the problem of millions of refugees and overcome the crisis. Ming Xianzong was really powerful.
It's a pity that Emperor Chongzhen didn't have half the ability, so it was even more difficult for him to transform the plowing court into a ready-made one.
When Zhao Shu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "My lord, this is a very good plan."
After some words, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Finally, Zhu Yixi asked: "Can Hanzhong Mansion be used by me now?"
"It can be used for the time being. Although Magistrate Jiang is very resistant on the surface, he is very obedient."
Zhao Shu couldn't help but say confidently after hearing this.
"Today, all the money and food from various states and counties are concentrated in Nanzheng to resist the intruders."
As he said that, Zhao Shu couldn't help but take out an account book and said according to the script: "A total of more than 5,000 soldiers and horses from the eight counties were gathered, and the old and young were eliminated. Only two thousand can be used."
"Among them, there are 120,000 taels of money, 50,000 shi of grain, and the rest are useless."
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels."
Zhu Yixi was surprised and said: "Hanzhong Mansion is so rich?"
"Recruit troops, at least ten thousand more, so that we can barely have enough."
"My lord, Hanzhong has two crops a year, and the autumn harvest has just begun. Apart from Xi'an Prefecture, Shaanxi is the richest in Hanzhong."
At this time, Zhao Shu couldn't help but said: "Actually, the richest one is Prince Rui's Mansion."
"This King Rui usually doesn't like women, likes Buddhist scriptures, and loves money most. He is like a wild animal, he can only get in but not get out."
"Hey, let's help fight against the intruders. I'm afraid Prince Rui will be more active in persuading us to pay."
Zhu Yixi sneered.
He, a lower-ranking clan, has nothing in common with this prince.
"correct."
Zhao Shu suddenly said at this time: "My lord, there is news from Dashan Pass. Li Zicheng is in Xi'an Mansion to persuade people to pay. All the big gentry and gentry have been blackmailed, and their vitality has been severely damaged."
"This news is very important."
Zhu Yixi was overjoyed and said: "Hurry up and spread the word. Soon, the whole Hanzhong will be willing to support us."
After discussing for a long time, recruiting troops and horses, the next step has been decided.
Seeing that it was already dark, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's so comfortable to have someone who really cares to help.
Back in the courtyard, Zhu Yixi hesitated: "Are the two people in the room still there?"
"General, no one dares to do anything without your order."
Sun Lin hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I heard from the brothers that they are very peaceful these days."
Zhu Yixi nodded, made up her mind and stepped forward.
"General."
At this time, Sun Xuan suddenly spoke up, looked directly at him with watery eyes, and said, "You just went in like this?"
"King Rui's wishes cannot be given up easily."
Zhu Yixi looked at her strangely...
"Aren't you going to marry Miss Sun?"
Sun Xuan saw that his eyes were getting more and more strange, and she said hurriedly, her cheeks turning red.
"A big wedding won't stop me from taking concubines, right?"
Zhu Yixi was surprised and approached the female guard. The latter blushed with embarrassment and buried her head in her chest.
He looked carefully and stood up.
Sun Xuan's melon-shaped face has a high nose bridge, which makes her appear heroic, and her chest swells upward, making her seem quite tall and straight.
And it seems that due to his martial arts practice, his waist is flexible and slender, his legs are slender, and his buttocks are particularly straight.
This kind of dressing up looks very different from the petite and delicate cherry mouth that men loved at this time.
Feeling those burning eyes, Sun Xuan had to raise her head, pursed her thin lips, and said with determination:
"General, although civilian girls practice martial arts, they keep themselves clean. Don't mess around..."
Zhu Yixi waved her hand, and Sun Lin left quietly. There were only two people in the courtyard.
The bright moonlight filled the courtyard, as if falling into a moon lake.
Zhu Yixi's gaze finally settled on his chest.
"General."
Sun Xuan suppressed her shyness and emphasized again: "Daughter of the people, although, although some places are a bit big, if you don't like it, you don't have to humiliate me like this, right?"
"No, this is not humiliation."
Seeing his embarrassed and angry look, Zhu Yixi hurriedly said: "This is exclamation, praise and appreciation."
After saying that, he took the latter's rough hand and said with a smile: "I, Zhu Yixi, already understand the girl's thoughts, and I will give you an explanation."
At this time, Sun Xuan blushed and hesitated for a while before whispering: "My uncle is in Xi'an, I have to wait until he comes back..."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to leave.
Zhu Yixi smiled and looked at the brightly lit room, faintly seeing two slim figures.
