If the provincial capital of Sichuan, the land of the king of Shu was captured by thieves, and all the military and political officials in Sichuan were wiped out, and then a king of Shu was put on board, in such a situation, Sun Chuanting wanted to say that there was no pressure, it would be absolutely false.

It's just that he can recognize the situation clearly, know which is more important, and what the consequences of blind rescue may bring. Compared to other officials, he is more resistant to pressure.

In other words, Li Zicheng's troops have assembled heavy troops on the eastern and southern fronts, which makes Sun Chuanting have no bottom in his heart, and he doesn't know what extent Li Zicheng's offensive is, so in that case, it is impossible for him to send troops, mainly to protect Shu Dao.

But the situation has developed to the present, and Li Zicheng's troops on the eastern and southern fronts finally showed their fangs and stormed Boryeong Mansion. But no matter what, he blocked it, and the war entered a stalemate stage.

From this, Sun Chuanting knew in his heart what kind of combat power Li Zicheng's men and horses were.

At this time, the uncertainty on the side of Chengdu Mansion made Sun Chuanting worried.

After thinking about it, after estimating the strength of the troops in his hands, he decided to send a reinforcement army to reinforce Chengdu Prefecture.

In the lobby, Sun Chuanting explained to the chief soldier Gao Ruli with a stern face: "This time I went to rescue Chengdu, you must be careful along the way. If the official's prediction is not bad, either the thieves will desperately block and prevent you from rushing to Chengdu; Either the thieves will ambush you halfway. ”

The situation in Sichuan is really not good. If there was a choice, Gao Ruli would not dare to reinforce Chengdu. However, Sun Chuanting had already ordered his general, so he had no choice.

At this time, Gao Ruli heard Sun Chuanting's explanation, and secretly complained in his heart, so he hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency, what if Chengdu has fallen?" ”

"If it has fallen, there is no need to fight, and it is immediately withdrawn." Sun Chuanting listened and replied without hesitation. However, he changed his words, and then explained, "But if Chengdu is still insisting, it can't give up." After entering the city, you tell Governor Chen and His Royal Highness the King of Shu to let them hold out until the beginning of spring, and the reinforcements of the Duke of Xingguo will definitely arrive! ”

Hearing this, Gao Ruli said with a sad face: "However, now we have to wait until the beginning of spring, the ice and snow melt, and Shu Dao can pass the army, at least there is more than a month, right?" In case Chengdu can't hold on, can it be evacuated to Boryeong? ”

Sun Chuanting listened and sighed in his heart, indeed, this has been a bit of a long wait!

However, on the surface, he still had a serious expression and said with a cold face: "Do you think the thieves will let you escape to Baoning?" As long as you leave the protection of the Chengdu city wall, how can you block the pursuit of thieves? Therefore, don't even think about this kind of thought, no matter what, insist on the arrival of imperial reinforcements in the spring of next year. ”

Gao Ruli listened and was very helpless. He knew that in front of Sun Chuanting, he couldn't bargain too much. This is a ruthless man, the previous madman He Renlong was not cut off by him!

So, he had no choice but to say yes, and then turned around to prepare.

But at this moment, he saw Sun Chuanting's personal guard Sun Wuxing rushing into the lobby, ignoring Gao Ruli, clasping his fists with both hands, and excitedly prayed to Sun Chuanting: "Master, the Duke of the Kingdom has sent someone!" ”

As soon as they heard this, several people in the lobby were immediately stunned, and their first reaction was to suspect that they had heard it wrong!

Even Sun Chuanting, who had always been expressionless, showed a look of surprise and confirmed: "Guogong sent someone? Where is it? ”

As soon as he asked, he saw another person outside, it was his family Ding Sun Da, who was leaning sideways, obviously leading someone in.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the gate.

I saw a tall man in civilian clothes entering with Sun Da, needless to say, this person was naturally Liu Jin sent by Zhang Mingwei.

At this time, without Sun Da's introduction, he could know the identities of these people in the lobby from his clothes. So, he took out his waist card and said: "I am Liu Jin, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and I have come to deliver a letter to Lord Sun, the governor of the three sides, on the order of the Duke of Xingguo. ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was obviously overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up from his seat, and introduced himself like a snake: "This official is the governor of the three sides. ”

Of course, Liu Jin knew that the person wearing the crimson official robe here could not be anyone else except for the governor of the three sides.

However, there were other people in the lobby, and Liu Jin turned his head to look at the military general standing beside him.

When Gao Ruli heard this, he hurriedly introduced himself excitedly. He sensed that maybe his military orders would change, and he wouldn't have to take any chances.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the lobby, Liu Jin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Da with both hands.

Sun Da hurriedly took it, made two steps with three feet, and immediately sent it to Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting also moved quickly, and after checking the fire paint seal, he immediately opened it and looked at it.

Gao Ruli kept staring at Sun Chuanting's face, hoping for some good news.

However, looking at Sun Chuanting, who was looking at the letter, his brows suddenly wrinkled. After reading it, he seemed to read it again, and then put down the letter, looked at Liu Jin and asked, "Guogong is like this, it is too risky, what if it provokes a mutiny?" It's not right, it's not right! ”

As soon as he heard this, although Gao Ruli didn't guess what the letter said, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing. So, a heart full of hope was shattered.

Liu Jin was a little surprised when he heard Sun Chuanting's words, and then said proudly: "Your Excellency the Governor, rest assured, the Duke of the Kingdom has his own measure, how can he provoke a mutiny!" ”

When Gao Ruli on the side heard this, his face immediately turned from cloudy to clear, and he showed a look of expectation again.

Sun Chuanting listened, but still shook his head and said: "Most of the subordinates under the command of the Duke of Guo should be thieves who have just been reorganized and recruited!" Don't you know that these thieves are arrogant and disrespectful. It's really dangerous for them to take such a big risk. ”

"Haha!" When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's someone else, my family is leading the troops, and it's different from others!" The soldiers after recruiting are convinced by the national prince, how can they be arrogant and disrespectful! ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting's brows furrowed even tighter.

When it comes to the ability to lead troops, he, Sun Chuanting, thinks that he is also in front of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Xingguo Gong is stronger than him, he will never be stronger!

In fact, Sun Chuanting has never served anyone in terms of leading troops!

Therefore, this brocade cloth Wei Baihu said this, in his opinion, this is just a sycophant of Xingguo Gong!

If it is a normal situation, Sun Chuanting will not be counted.

After all, the public power of Xingguo is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and it is nothing to pat him on the back. But now it's a matter of military affairs, and it's not the time to cater to the officials!

Therefore, although Sun Chuanting listened to Liu Jin's words, he didn't believe it at all, and immediately said coldly: "It's not proper, it's not proper, you should return to Hanzhong immediately......

When he said this, he finally came back to his senses, and immediately asked with a surprised face, "Are you from Hanzhong?" ”

Isn't that nonsense!

Liu Jin thought so in his heart, so he nodded.

"How easy is the Taurus Road?" Sun Chuanting listened and immediately asked.

Hearing this, Gao Ruli finally guessed that Xingguo Gong was going to brave the snow to cross the Golden Bull Road to Sichuan?

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, his face full of incredulity, this ...... It can't be! It's not one or two people coming, it's going to pass through the army!

When Liu Jin heard Sun Chuanting's question, he smiled and said, "It's not easy to go, you have to be very cautious!" ”

"Then how did the prince lead the troops over?" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he lowered his face and said, "The march of the army is not child's play. ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately replied solemnly: "Guogong said, the affairs of the world cannot be generalized!" Some armies are good at creating miracles. They're human beings, so we're not human anymore? In short, it's man-made! Fully prepared, Shu Dao is just a road, there is nothing that cannot be conquered. ”

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting immediately remembered the past when Deng Ai, a famous general of Wei, attacked Chengdu from Yinping Dao during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, no one thought that the army would come from that side, because in some places, there were no roads at all, and the soldiers had to roll down the mountain wrapped in blankets. In this way, Deng Ai still managed to reach Chengdu and destroy the Shu Kingdom.

In fact, what Zhang Mingwei refers to is not Deng Ai's army, but the army of later generations. Not to mention the difficult conditions, under the encirclement and interception of the enemy, they did not climb the snowy mountains and cross the grasslands, creating a miracle.

Compared with these predecessors, Zhang Mingwei didn't think that crossing the Shu Road now would be more difficult than at that time.

Of course, it is impossible for Sun Chuanting to know about this matter. However, he misunderstood that it was Deng Ai's army, and the meaning was similar.

At this time, Sun Chuanting still wanted to persuade that if the Duke of Xingguo forcibly wanted his subordinates to do this, how could those thieves under him agree!

However, Liu Jin may have seen that Sun Chuanting still didn't understand. So, he said solemnly: "The prince said that this letter is not a discussion, but a notice, and the governor must follow it and implement it, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

Although Sun Chuanting is the governor of the three sides, Zhang Mingwei is the director of the army under heaven and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no matter from that aspect, he has the right to manage Sun Chuanting's side.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel helpless, and immediately sighed: "Guogong is too risky, but the military order has been issued, and the official should follow it." ”

Speaking of this, he actually sighed again and said, "Guogong is really fighting to save Shudi!" ”

If Xingguo Gong waited until the beginning of spring to march into Shu, no one would be able to say that Xingguo Gong delayed the military aircraft. However, Guogong still decided to take the risk, and this courage made Sun Chuanting have to sigh.

So, he began to follow the explanation of Xingguo Gong in the letter, and immediately adjusted the deployment.

Gao Ruli also got his wish, and he didn't have to take risks.
