The bald Boye led more than 4,000 horsemen, went eastward, and attacked Tang Shou.

Early the next morning, Hao Sheng and Meng He were let go by Xin Er and returned to Chengdu in the south.

Xin Er was very attentive, and sent them out of the sheep intestine path under the Sword Pavilion Dock Fort, until they turned into the main road of the Golden Bull Road, and did not stop.

Seeing Hao Sheng and Meng He under the escort of more than 100 Jingzhou soldiers, gradually walking away, their figures disappeared into the lush mountains and forests, and Tang Ai, who came to see them off with Xin Er, was thoughtful, scratched his cheeks, and said to Xin Er: "Ming Gong, these two people go back to Chengdu, and after seeing Huan Jingzhou, they will definitely complain!" I expect that Huan Jingzhou will definitely not be able to swallow the sullen breath of the Sword Pavilion being occupied by our army, nine times out of ten, in the near future, he will send people again, come to the Sword Pavilion again, and invite Ming Gong to Chengdu to meet. This matter must be discussed for a good livelihood. ”

Xin Er sighed and said, "Qianli, you know me." I Longshi people praise me as benevolent, but I can imitate the sages. Former sage, I don't dare to compare, but I think to myself, the word 'benevolence' is really my nature.

"This time, let's take advantage of the sword pavilion, this matter, it is indeed not authentic enough, and it is also against my nature, I will not tell you, I am also very ashamed of this, but I did this, not for you and me, but for Dingxi!

"Yes, I Dingxi is a vassal state of the imperial court, and I have been cut off from the imperial court for many years. Last time, Gao Chong went to Jiangzuo, and after he came back, you also heard what he said. Jiang Zuoshi is quite contemptuous of my Dingxi characters. If the scholars are like this, it is conceivable what attitudes and views the guilds in the Jiangzuo Dynasty have towards my Dingxi.

"The Sword Pavilion is the gateway to Hanzhong, if this place cannot be occupied by me, it is for Huan Jingzhou, I expect that the soldiers of Jingzhou will inevitably claim to be the Heavenly Empire, the upper class, and invade Hanzhong. If there is a loss in Han, Yinping, Wudu, and Longxi will not be guaranteed; If Yin Ping County is not guaranteed, then since the first king, my Long soldiers have fought bloody battles, and the territory that has been opened up for the country with great difficulty will be destroyed in one fell swoop!

"Although I am not talented, how can I endure the hard work of the first king, the marquis of Koji, and the lieutenant of Koji, and waste it in my hands? If this situation really happens, how can I explain it to the Queen Mother and the King? ”

Tang Ai said: "The loyalty of the Ming Duke to the first king, the king, and the queen mother, I Long Shimin, everyone knows it. ”

Xin Er said: "You just said it well. Huan Jingzhou will definitely be dissatisfied with our move to occupy the Sword Pavilion, Qianli, you said that if he really invited me to Chengdu to meet, should I go or not? ”

If you don't go, first of all, this time to cut Shu, Longzhou is to cooperate with Huanmeng, and Huanmeng is the main general; Secondly, and Xin Er only got Jiang Zuo's worship, his title of "Yongzhou Assassin History" is currently in the "six states" of the "Jing and Si Six States Military" supervised by Huan Meng, nominally, in terms of military affairs, he is also a subordinate of Huan Meng.

No matter these two points, from which point of view, it is not easy for Xin Er to disobey Huan Meng's order, otherwise, his face will be very ugly, and it will damage his reputation in Jiangzuo, not to mention, and there is a high probability that he will be seized by political enemies such as Pan Kuan, and used as a handle to attack him, more seriously, it is not impossible to accuse him of having a heart of disobedience.

But if he goes, will Huan Meng take the opportunity to detain Xin Er in exchange for the Sword Pavilion?

Since the Tang Dynasty moved to Dingjiangzuo, those who have been able to sit in Jingzhou, such as Wang, Tao, Yu and other clans, none of them are not powerful ministers who are not powerful and can attract the side eyes of the Jiankang court; That is, the time of Huanmeng Zhenjing is still short, and his own foundation is not yet solid, but he is now destroying Shu Qin, only with this great achievement, it can be predicted, as late as seven or eight years, as short as three or two years, he will definitely leap forward, become another top minister of the Tang family after Wang, Tao, Yu and others.

In all fairness, now that Dingxi and Jingzhou are in a state of bordering, Xin Er really wants to see Huan Meng with his own eyes, see what his personality and ability are, and spy on what his ambitions are, so that he can further make an accurate decision, whether to be an ally with him in the future, or whether to choose something else.

However, the risk of going to Chengdu should not be ignored.

Tang Ai didn't have a definite opinion for the time being, and said: "And we need to discuss it carefully." ”

Chengdu has been conquered by Huanmeng, and it is an unexpected joy to be able to grab the Sword Pavilion, and the vast areas south of Qinde and east of Tangshou obviously have no chance to attack again. So, who should be used to suppress Hanzhong, Qin De, Jiange, Tang Shou, and Jia Meng?

This will also need to be carefully discussed.

Back in the Sword Pavilion, Xin Erzi discussed these two things with Tang Ai.

……

Hao Sheng and Meng He returned with hatred, and when they arrived in Chengdu, they asked to see Huanmeng.

However, it is said that the battle of the bridge that day, the Jingzhou soldiers won a great victory, because of the long drive, to the outside of Chengdu, burned the city gate, and conquered the city.

Li Dang, the puppet lord of Shu Qin, surrendered, and Huan Meng had sent him to Jiankang a few days ago.

At present, inside and outside Chengdu, it is known that Jingzhou soldiers are guarding the key points and stationed in the town.

Because the headquarters had few soldiers, just in case, Huan Meng only sent Cheng Wuji, Mao Husheng and other soldiers and horses into the city to maintain law and order, while he himself did not enter the city and was stationed in the camp outside the city.

Hearing that Hao Sheng and Meng He were back, Huan Meng asked them to come in.

Hao Sheng and Meng He were aggrieved, and complained in the account about the robbery of the middle of the road and the fact that the Sword Pavilion was actually seized by Xin Er.

After hearing what the two of them had said, everyone in the tent was furious.

Zhou An left Sun Sheng and Wei Peng Mo, and went to Chengdu to return to Huanmeng, who had just arrived in Chengdu for two days, and was also present at the time.

He got up and said, "Xin Er is too deceitful! This time, our army has conquered Chengdu, and he has not yet come out of Zitong, which can be said to be a sizeless achievement! In that year, Liuyi invaded, Xianyang was in danger, Longzhou Qinwang was not effective, Xianyang nursery rhyme sang "Qinchuanzhong, blood has no wrist, only Longzhou leans on the pillar"! Now Xin Erfu is doing this?

"Our army went through the front, stuck to Pengmo, fought the bridge, and when it was dangerous, the whole army was overturned several times! But he picks peaches behind him? Steal the Sword Pavilion! It's unbearable! Dare to ask Ming Gong and Xia Guan to ride 5,000 steps, and Xia Guan will break the Sword Pavilion, capture Xin Er for Ming Gong, and behead him! ”

"In Qinchuan, there is no wrist, only Longzhou leans on the pillar", is a ballad on the eve of the fall of Xianyang and the destruction of the Western Tang Dynasty.

This ballad is actually not about Longzhou not being saved when it sees death, but that Longzhou has the solidity of mountains and rivers, because it can protect its land alone in the chaos of Liuyi.

In fact, after the Liuyi rebellion, the Linghu clan, who was the lord of Longzhu at the beginning, also sent troops several times to help the imperial court in order to unite people's hearts.

Not to mention the rescue of Xianyang, earlier, when Luoyang was in danger, there were Longzhou soldiers who participated in the battle to defend the city.

The title of "Longzhou Taima, rampant in the world" was started during the Battle of Luoyang. At that time, the main commander of the Longzhou elite cavalry was the great-ancestor of Beigong Yue, several times with a small number of blows, all defeated the Hun cavalry, and led more than 1,000 warriors to attack the Hun fortress at night, and beheaded its general. Prestige.

When Xianyang was in an emergency, the Linghu clan still sent 10,000 soldiers to rescue.

The main general who led the troops this time was the great-grandfather of Kojiqiu. Only the Xiongnu, Rong and other soldiers were not allowed to advance, and there was no choice but to return. On the way back, Nan'an County, which is still on the other side of Longxi County, which is now guarded by Kojiqiu, fought a fierce battle with the local Rong people for more than 100 days.

Huan Meng is aware of the deeds of Longzhou to save the imperial court, and he is also aware of the combat power of the Longzhou infantry cavalry, so although he is also very angry with Xin Er's move to seize the Sword Pavilion, he is worthy of the title of heroic, but he can press down his anger and refuse to raise troops because of anger.

He said slowly: "Zhou Gong is a little restless, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

One person said: "The news between Dingxi and the imperial court has been interrupted for a long time, which makes the fox clan unpredictable. The Sword Pavilion is the north gate of Chengdu, and it must not be occupied by Longzhou. However, the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, and if you attack hard, it may not be easy to defeat. The lower officials have a plan, but they can protect Xin Youzhi and offer the Sword Pavilion with both hands. ”

The person who spoke was Yuan Ziqiao.

Huan Meng asked, "What is Qing's plan?" ”

"Duke Ming can summon Xin Youzhu to come to Chengdu to meet, as long as he comes, is the Sword Pavilion afraid that he won't be able to return to Duke Ming's hands?"
