The news spread to various cities in Liangzhou, and the officers in each city showed unprecedented execution ability. It only took one day for them to allocate the quotas and the team gathered in Liangzhou City.
This team is headed by Guan Yu as commander, Liu Bei as military adviser, and Zhang Fei as assistant. The main members are middle- and upper-level officers. Others such as Shan Xiongxin, Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, Zhou Cang, etc. are also in the team.
Cheng Dalei has worked hard over the years to gather an elite team among them. Rather than saying they are combat troops, they are more like a frontline officer inspection group.
When they were about to part ways, Cheng Dalei felt quite reluctant to leave. If these people made a mistake, it would be an irreparable loss.
"General Guan, do you remember what I said? These people are our elites in Liangzhou. We must not expose their identities and cut off our talents in Liangzhou."
Guan Yu nodded in agreement: "I will keep this in mind."
"They are all naughty-tempered. Unless General Guan can't control them, don't be too spoiled along the way."
"Subordinate, remember."
Guan Yu was a little impatient with Cheng Dalei's nagging. We are not three-year-old children. As for giving such long-winded instructions, this is obviously looking down on himself.
Cheng Dalei was about to say something, but Guan Yu waved his hand and said: "Master, Guan takes everything at heart and will never let the master down."
Cheng Dalei glanced at the elites he had trained and sighed helplessly: "I hope so."
Guan Yu waved his hand: "Let's go."
The fish flag floated in the air, and everyone carried weapons and rations, heading towards the east. Watching them go away, Cheng Dalei suddenly remembered something before he had time to give instructions, and wanted to chase after him, but found that Guan Yu had already gone far away.
"Master, what have you forgotten?" Xu Shenji asked.
"Well, I've always been a bit arrogant and offended a lot of people outside. Guan Yu can't be too arrogant when doing things outside." Cheng Dalei sighed.
"Don't worry, Mr. Guan, General Guan is a kind man, unlike you."
"Is he kind..."
Cheng Dalei shook his head and suddenly became less optimistic about Guan Yu's trip this time. However, even if it was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den outside, they still had to go out and try it out on their own. Maybe some people would die on the road, but there was nothing they could do about it. There was no way to fight.
There are immortals. If you save a few people from dying now, you will save thousands from dying on the battlefield in the future.
"Master, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen to General Guan. It's windy in the city, so let's go back." Xu Shenji said.
Cheng Dalei nodded, and the old man and the young man helped each other and walked down the tower.
…
After Guan Yu left with his men, although it was said that the Xizi Team controlled by Ah Xi was passing on information, the round trip was inconvenient, and Cheng Dalei didn't have much hope for it.
Whether it is a blessing or a curse, they need to bear it themselves.
Cheng Dalei thought that his work would become busy after they left. But it turned out that this was not the case.
Originally, there was nothing much going on in Liangzhou today, it was just training troops and training the soldiers. Guan Yu led the army to leave, and Liangzhou's main focus was on this matter, and there was no need for Cheng Dalei to intervene.
He walked around the city lord's mansion, and all the civil servants were there, so everything was still in order.
On the second day, Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji inspected various cities in Liangzhou.
There are five cities in Liangzhou: Liangzhou, Shuofang, Wuwei, Haojia, Jincheng, plus Qinchuan Pass, which was expanded by Cheng Dalei himself, which makes a total of six cities.
Among them, Cheng Dalei actually controlled Liangzhou, Shuofang, and Qinchuan Pass. Although the other three cities were also attached to Cheng Dalei, they were not in his hands.
Qinchuan mines iron ore and secretly develops various weapons; Shuofang is responsible for farming, and only one city and one harvest can supply the consumption of the entire Liangzhou; as for Liangzhou City, it is the center of power here, and many soldiers and horses are hoarded in Liangzhou.
.
Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji spent three days walking around all three cities, and finally understood Liangzhou's current strength.
On the surface, the total strength is 100,000, and the core strength is 30,000. The real power that can be used is actually very terrifying. If anyone wants to take Liangzhou's idea, it is estimated...
"Master, not far ahead is Haojia City. It's getting late, so why don't we rest in Haojia City for the night." Xu Shenji said.
Cheng Dalei shook his head: "That's it, go back to Liangzhou City."
The two rode horses side by side. Xu Shenji said: "The master still can't trust them?"
Qian Tongyu, Bai Kongji, and Sunbieshan are the three city lords in Liangzhou. The relationship between these three people and Cheng Dalei is actually quite good. They are nominal allies and usually send some gold and silver jewelry. Under normal circumstances, Cheng Dalei
Everyone will accept it.
However, they once betrayed Song Bokang, so it is hard to say that they will not betray Cheng Dalei in the future. If a foreign enemy invades Liangzhou, they are the ones Cheng Dalei is most worried about.
Wuwei, Haojia, and the Lords of Jincheng are a force that cannot be underestimated if they are united. As the saying goes, there is no way to allow others to sleep peacefully on the side of the bed.
This time, when Guan Yu was sent out to Liangzhou with his elite troops, Cheng Dalei may not have meant to test the three of them.
Liangzhou is empty. Isn't now a good opportunity to kill someone and usurp the throne? If you want to take action, do it quickly. The boss's ax has not drunk blood for a long time.
He and Xu Shenji were running around all day without even taking a single bodyguard with them. Firstly, they were brave because of their skill, and secondly, they lured others to assassinate them.
It's just a pity that no one has taken the bait until now, and Cheng Dalei doesn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Before dark, Cheng Dalei and Xu Shenji returned to Liangzhou City. As soon as they arrived at the city lord's palace, they found Wu Yonghou there.
"Oh, what happened? Is there an emergency?" Cheng Dalei asked strangely.
"It's nothing important. Qian Tongyu sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to give a big gift to the master. This is just a gift list. The gift will be delivered in the near future. I hope the master will accept it."
"Why did you give me a gift for no reason? Are you guilty of being a thief?" Cheng Dalei opened the gift list. This time Qian Tongyu gave a very generous gift. Cheng Dalei was now considered a master who had never seen him before, but he was still surprised.
There is a white jade beauty, two gold and silver handles, countless silks, and most importantly, four beautiful concubines.
Cheng Dalei frowned, thinking about Qian Tongyu's plan, and seemed to realize something vaguely.
"When will their people arrive?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"Probably in these three to five days, they will just wait for the big boss to nod, otherwise they will not dare to come."
Cheng Dalei sneered: "Except Qian Tongyu, what's going on in Bai Kongji and Sunbie Mountain recently?"
"This gift was put together by the three of them. It was said to be a thank you for the protection of the master. Without the care of the master, they would not be where they are today."
"Very good, very good." Cheng Dalei nodded and said, "Tell them a reply and tell them that I agreed, and ask them to send the gift as soon as possible."
