Except for the new recruits, most of these soldiers under Zhao Yun are veterans who had followed Wang Can. They conquered the country with Wang Can, conquered the world with Wang Can, and respected Wang Can like a god. As long as Wang Can was there, they would have
Once you have your backbone, you will feel at ease in your heart.
Zhao Yun also saw the army appearing outside the city. The moment he saw it, his heart calmed down and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and follow me out of the city to meet your majesty."
"Here!"
When a soldier receives an order, he immediately passes it on.
"Crunch!"
The city gate under the city tower opened, ready to welcome Wang Can.
Not long after, Zhao Yun led his soldiers out of the city gate and headed straight outside the city. When they walked a hundred steps out of the city, the army led by Wang Can arrived. At this time, Wang Can had already gathered Gan Ning.
Huang Zhong and others. In fact, Wang Can joined Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others soon after entering the border of Chencang County.
Although Wang Can's troops are not many, their combat effectiveness is not weak.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yun, pays homage to your Majesty!"
Zhao Yun saw Wang Can and saw that Wang Can had become younger. He was not too surprised and knelt down on one knee to salute. In fact, even Zhao Yun himself became much younger due to the changes in the aura of heaven and earth. Wang Can
It is normal for someone who has always been skilled in martial arts to become younger. Zhao Yun followed Wang Can very early, and now he is extremely happy to see Wang Can become younger.
The other soldiers saluted Wang Can one after another.
All the soldiers knelt down in unison, the soldiers' shouts soared into the sky, and there was endless joy.
Wang Can stepped forward and said: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yun and all the soldiers under his command immediately thanked and saluted.
Everyone got up and rode their horses to the side.
"Your Majesty, please enter the city!"
Zhao Yun waved his hands, with an excited expression on his face. He glanced at Dian Wei, Huang Zhong and others, and saw that these people had become younger. When he saw Wang Can's soldiers, he was extremely happy to see that they were all much younger.
In fact, the strength of the Shu Kingdom is not weak now.
When it comes to strength, it is not weaker than any other country.
However, the Shu Kingdom lacks a backbone.
In addition, the Shu Kingdom only occupies the Sili area, which is the place of the Four Wars. There is no rear area, which is where it suffers. But as long as Wang Can comes back, all this can be solved.
Wang Can immediately followed him into the city and then went straight to the military camp.
In the camp, soldiers are stationed.
Wang Can summoned everyone to the camp, then looked at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, tell me about the current situation in Chencang County, and then talk about the situation in Shu."
"Here!"
Zhao Yun received the order and immediately obeyed, saying: "Now the Shu Kingdom only occupies one area in the Sili area. It is with the help of Gao Shun, Tai Shici and many other generals guarding the four directions that the situation has been stabilized. In addition, the food supply in the Shu Kingdom is
The supply is insufficient. Nowadays, we mainly rely on the granaries built in Luoyang and Chang'an to supply food, otherwise there would have been problems with food and grass."
"Today's Shu Kingdom is surrounded by crises."
"In addition to the threat from Shu itself, Maodun from Liangzhou in the west has been attacking Chencang frequently, intending to capture Chencang and seize Chang'an and Luoyang. I have been resisting, but I am gradually exhausted and somewhat exhausted."
Zhao Yun said: "It's not that I can't stop Maodun, but that your Majesty is not in the court. Even if there is a prince supervising the country and many virtuous ministers to assist him, there will still be certain problems after all."
"It is precisely because His Majesty is no longer around that all parties covet him."
"Liu Bang occupied Yizhou. Although he did not send troops, he frequently sent people to sneak in and then intended to instigate people from the Shu Kingdom. For example, here, Liu Bang once sent Cao Shen with the intention of persuading the weak ministers."
"It's just that everyone was expelled."
"It is expected that other officials in the DPRK and China will also face such a situation."
Zhao Yun's eyes flashed and he said sternly: "In order to avoid chaos in the court, and in order to reassure the court officials as soon as possible, the moment I received your Majesty's news, I had already arranged for soldiers to rush to deliver the news in eight hundred miles.
Return. As long as the princes in the court know that His Majesty has returned, it will definitely boost their fighting spirit. When Your Majesty was away, we have always adopted a defensive strategy, mainly to defend the Sili area. Now that Your Majesty is back, our Shu strategy must also change.
Once it’s changed, if Mao Dun comes and kills us, we can kill him too.”
Wang Can nodded and said: "That's the truth. If Mao Dun comes to kill, we can also kill him. Although Mao Dun is famous, we are not easy to deal with. If we want to fight, we must beat Mo Dun hard."
Zhao Yundao said: "But before sending troops, your Majesty must return first. Once your Majesty sits in Luoyang and stabilizes the situation in all directions, we will then start to counterattack."
"The current situation, with Temujin in the north, Li Shimin in the east, Ying Zheng in the north, etc., our situation can be said to be in an extremely disadvantageous position."
"I suggest that we attack Maodun first."
"As long as Liangzhou is captured, we will have a stable rear. The imperial court only has Sili area, and the food output is insufficient. But as long as Liangzhou is captured, we can open up extensive mountains and farmland in Liangzhou, which will definitely solve the current crisis.
.”
Zhao Yundao: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
These ideas have been considered by Zhao Yun for a long time.
When he was in Chencang County, although he had been resisting Mao Dun and did not launch a counterattack, Zhao Yun was always ready. As long as he had enough strength and the Shu Kingdom stabilized, he could send troops.
Wang Can nodded and said: "Zilong's concerns are very reasonable, and I have considered them the same way. Next, Zilong will continue to guard Chencang County. After I return to Luoyang and stabilize the situation, I will counterattack Maodun."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun quickly clasped his fists and saluted.
Zhao Yun had fought against Mao Dun several times, and he knew how powerful Mao Dun was, so he was also worried about Wang Can's rash advance. If he could hold off now and wait until the situation was stabilized before counterattacking, that would be the best result.
Wang Can said: "Zilong, I led people across Liangzhou. When I returned to Chencang from Liangzhou, I found that Maodun was mobilizing troops. Next, Maodun is very likely to attack Liangzhou. Are you sure of holding Chencang County?"
Zhao Yun said boldly: "As long as your Majesty is in charge of the center, I will not be afraid of taking any risks."
"good!"
Wang Can praised: "I can rest assured that I have my son Longzi here."
Wang Can has never doubted Zhao Yun's ability, especially seeing that Zhao Yun is much younger. Wang Can knows that Zhao Yun's strength will definitely improve greatly now, and he will definitely be one of the few masters in the world.
Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, please rest for a day. It won't be too late to return to Luoyang tomorrow."
"I understand."
Wang Can nodded.
In fact, Wang Can had no intention of returning immediately. He was indeed a little tired after traveling all the way, and he needed to make some adjustments before he could continue on his journey.
Wang Can asked Zhao Yun about some domestic situations and learned more about it in detail, and then asked Zhao Yun to prepare wine and meat and have a feast with everyone.
After having enough wine and food, Wang Can took a good rest in the camp.
The next day, early morning.
Wang Can led the army and continued on his way to Luoyang.
…
Luoyang, the royal palace in the city.
Department office.
Li Ru, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others all handled matters in the office.
There are too many things going on in the Shu Kingdom today, and it can be said to be a thousand things. Especially when Wang Can is not here, although the entire Shu Kingdom has a prince to supervise the country, the prince is young after all. After all, he is not old enough to reassure the courtiers, so more
Remove the burden from Cheng Yu, Xun You and others.
Everyone was together discussing the food issue.
Xun You said slowly: "Masters, with the food from the granaries in Chang'an and Luoyang, plus some local defenders in the Sili area, we can hold on for about another year. Once this year is over, food will be a big problem.
.Before that, we must solve it, otherwise next year, Shu will be in a state of turmoil. Only by taking precautions can we nip the problem in the bud."
Cheng Yu was the eldest, and he had a great say. He stroked his beard and said slowly: "Gongda, in today's world of great strife, it is not a simple matter to purchase food from the surrounding areas.
Easy thing."
Xun You said: "Mr. Zhongde, no matter whether it is easy or not, we must prepare food. If there is no food, there will be chaos. Food is the most important thing for the people. If the country and the people have no food, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jia Xu said slowly: "If you want to buy grain, you can only go to the most prosperous places to buy grain. As for the Song Dynasty, Yangzhou occupied by Zhao Gou is quite wealthy, so it can be purchased. As long as we purchase grain, then think about it.
Find a way to transport it back to Shu."
Li Rudao: "Transporting food is not an easy task."
Xun You said: "Even if it is not easy, you must do it."
Cheng Yu looked around at everyone and saw that everyone agreed with Xun You's analysis, so he asked again: "Master, what do you think of Gongda's statement?"
Everyone answered in unison, agreeing with Xun You's analysis.
Cheng Yu said again: "In that case, Gongda will be solely responsible for this matter and finalize the food issue as soon as possible. As long as there is no shortage of food, with the combat effectiveness of Shu's army, it will not be afraid of any country."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Report!"
Suddenly, the voice of soldiers sounded outside the office room.
"Come in!"
Cheng Yu gave an order.
The soldier then opened the door and entered, then bowed and saluted everyone, and said: "My lords, urgent news from Chencang County has just been sent back. Your Majesty is back and is returning to Luoyang."
"What?"
Cheng Yu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
The rest of the people were extremely surprised, but most of them were happy.
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and said again: "Your Majesty is back. Is your Majesty in Chencang County now?"
The soldier replied: "Reporting to your lord, according to the news sent back by the sentry, Your Majesty has arrived in Chencang County. Now, he is on his way back. His Majesty's return to Luoyang is just around the corner."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
When Cheng Yu heard this, he stroked his beard under his chin and said the word "good" three times in a row.
At this moment, Cheng Yu felt relieved.
As the head of officials, he had to lead hundreds of officials, report everything to the little emperor, and coordinate the army to resist pressure from all sides, which was extremely difficult.
Now that Wang Can is back, Cheng Yu finally no longer has so much pressure.
Cheng Yu waved his hand for the soldiers to retreat, and then said: "Masters, your Majesty is already on the way back. The distance from Chencang County to Luoyang is not too far. It is estimated that your Majesty will be able to return in the near future. The old minister suggested that we wait for your Majesty to return for the time being.
