With the addition of Liu Mingge's 2,500 people and fifty large ships, Liu Jian no longer worries about the defense of Wuchang. In addition, the east is already surrounded by enemies on both sides, and he has no time to take care of himself, and now he can finally free up his hands to pacify Bashu.

Now that Chen Hongyi is old, Liu Jian really can't bear to go over the mountains and mountains to the land of Bashu, not to mention that he needs Chen Hongyi to sit in Xiangyang. The rest of the people, although Murong Ling's martial arts are high, he is the patriarch of Tuyuhun after all, and it is not safe to send him. After thinking about it, he had to send Li Xiaofei to go, but Li Xiaofei's martial arts really didn't dare to compliment.

At this moment, Liu Mingge, who was still shouting the day before to run back to eat authentic Wuchang fish, took the initiative to go with Li Xiaofei to quell the Bashu Rebellion.

"Actually, I'm not interested in fighting, I'm just afraid that they will damage the Wuhou Temple, and I Liu Mingge haven't gone to the Wuhou Temple to worship! What's more, I am also a prime minister now, and it is also necessary to learn from the model of our industry! Liu Mingge said his reasons seriously

"Then there is Prime Minister Lao Liu, Prime Minister Bo Gutong is traveling all over the world today, and you are in command to pacify Bashu is naturally just around the corner!" Liu Jian looked at Liu Mingge expectantly

Liu Mingge stretched: "No need, my temper is not suitable for being a commander, I will set off with the army, I have to see this great river and mountain along the way." If I had military affairs in my hand, my trip would have been in vain! ”

These days, Liu Jian knew Liu Mingge's temper, so he no longer forced him, and then asked Li Xiaofei: "Mrs. Li, how many people are you going to bring this time?" ”

Li Xiaofei knew that Liu Jian had more than 100,000 men and horses, so he stretched out his left hand: "It's enough for me to bring 5,000 men and horses!" ”

"The total number of troops in the land of Bashu is more than 100,000, and you have 5,000 people too little!"

"Your Majesty, the situation in the counties and counties of Bashu is different, and only a very small number of them are determined to confront the imperial court. In addition, with a peerless master like Prime Minister Liu Cheng, we might as well learn from Prime Minister Zhuge to attack the heart. Not all cities have to be defeated, what does Your Majesty think? ”

Liu Jian was still not at ease, and looked at Chen Kuan: "Mrs. Li's analysis is good, in order to ensure everything, Mrs. Li will take 5,000 men and horses first, and General Chen will bring 10,000 horses as backup!" ”

Of course, Li Xiaofei will not object: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers must be cautious!" In fact, at this moment, he reacted, and what Liu Jian was not worried about was that Liu Mingge and the two of them were combined

"Your Majesty is thoughtful, Chen Kuan takes the order!" Chen Kuan also gladly accepted the order, after all, he was already bored in this Xiangyang City, and he could go out to lead the troops for a period of time without seeing the people in the academy, and he could have a lot of freedom, so why not.

Judging Yuanhao and others surprisingly did not object, firstly, they knew the general situation, after all, they had to maintain the country of this big beam, and where would they go to be high-ranking officials without big beams; Second, it is not an easy task to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, if Li Xiaofei and they are defeated, they can fall into the ground, and if they win, it is okay to find some impeachment on the charge of killing good people and risking merit.

It was early summer when he set off from Xiangyang, and the ghost sheep ride had already been taken by Murong Ling to patrol around Suizhou, and Li Xiaofei brought 5,000 people from Wannianzhai brought by a part of the Chen Jiajun and Qin Shun.

To tell the truth, these 5,000 people themselves didn't believe that they could go to Shuzhong to quell the rebellion, and their morale was very low, and it was rumored that the imperial court sent them to death.

At first, he walked very slowly for three days, Liu Mingge ignored it, and it was up to Li Xiaofei to respond.

Li Xiaofei secretly changed into a set of soldiers' clothes and armor and mixed in the team, and began to exert his skills.

Li Xiaofei didn't reward these people before he set off, not because he became stingy, but because these people have never been short of money in Xiangyang, and if they blindly reward them, this team will not be able to take it.

What they have to do is courage and faith, which cannot come down from heaven or be given by others.

Pessimism about the future and fear of the unknown make everyone lose courage and confidence.

The 5,000 men were like this, and by the fourth day hundreds had fled, and the rest were discussing when they would escape.

"Have you heard, let's go to the front station to explore the way to die, our Marshal Li, this kind of battle has been fought all these years, sending tens of thousands of lives in Suizhou, selling thousands of people in Liyang, and Chang'an even sold hundreds of thousands, exchanging the lives of our soldiers for his high-ranking officials."

"This kid is just a slave when the emperor was still a prince, and he can make sycophants when he has a good life, he didn't become a master at a young age."

"What kind of world is this, no wonder this court only has this remnant of mountains and rivers, and cats and dogs can be on the throne this year"

"Shall you say a few words, will you do it? It's not the same! ”

"Brothers, they're not bored all day long, if you can play a few games, wouldn't there be so many words"

"That's right, I don't know if it's life or death when I go forward, I won't come back nine times out of ten, and if I want to have fun and have fun, I won't let this military regulation go, won't I panic?"

"I heard that if you walk for two more days, you will reach the boundary of Yiling, and you may stay there for a day or two, and then you will run away and stay in Yiling."

Li Xiaofei took advantage of the group of soldiers to chat, and slowly gathered over to listen

"Where did you come from, this kid, and did you come to spy on us?" These people are still very vigilant, after all, being a deserter is a heavy punishment, although none of the people who ran in front have been caught, but it is always good to be careful.

"I, too, like my brothers, come out and wander around when I'm bored to see if I have a chance to walk."

"Look at your dress like us, but it's hard to say, you're in our team tonight, don't go"

"Haha, I'm still afraid that you will drive me away, it's much more interesting to listen to my brothers' speeches, and I'm bored"

"We're not men yet, except for gambling, we're talking about making money to marry a wife and build a house, but you're still young, and you're interested in these things, so let's hear it."

Li Xiaofei joined the team to talk about it, and led them to talk about the gourmet beauties in Chengdu without a trace, among which there was really a veteran who had been to Chengdu, named Hu Qiansheng.

Hu Qiansheng went to Chengdu once with the caravan in his early years, but when he was still working for the Wang family, he actually didn't see anything, nothing more than he had been to Chengdu and ate some things sold by roadside stalls outside Chengdu.

"The seafood in Chengdu is really delicious, I was tired of eating it before leaving, and the Fen wine, well, and Longjing tea, and those girls, walking on the bridge with an oil-paper umbrella, very beautiful"

Li Xiaofei knew that this veteran was making up random things when he heard it, but he still gave a thumbs up: "Brother Hu is really knowledgeable, if you go to Chengdu this time, you have to take me to eat and drink."

However, most of these soldiers have never been out, let alone to Chengdu, so they let this Hu Qisheng talk nonsense at will. It's just that what he said is exactly what these people crave, what kind of delicious beauties, selling tea for horses and the like, arousing everyone's desires.

"I said that we are not going to walk, why did it become that we are going to Chengdu to see the world?" There were still smart people in the crowd who found that the topic had shifted

"Where to go is different, if you walk back and are arrested to be a soldier, if you are sent to the north, there will be no return!" Hu Qisheng didn't want to be interrupted, so he scared them

"It's the same, Shuzhong is also our Central Plains people, the north is occupied by Mobei people, and even the adults in the court have no way to negotiate peace."

"I said, let's listen to the story of the eldest brother, what kind of cockscomb pavilion he said, the story of the colorful fairy, we are a bunch of mud-legged people, what kind of heart do you have with three princes and nine kings?"

"This colorful fairy, it's not small, it's all the seven female shopkeepers who sell rice, wine, medicine, cloth, tea and vinegar in Chengdu City, and the Qinglou is all together, that battle is terrible, as soon as you go out, it's really the same as a fairy going down to earth, flowers open the road and colorful flags fluttering, my eyes are straight, but I can also see"

"Haha, I'm afraid your saliva is coming out."

"Haha, I'm afraid it's the same, so let's go and see it!"

"Interesting, but let's go to Yiling first and then take a look, if Yiling is not bad, what else to go to Chengdu"

"Let's go all the way and see all the way, it's not early, it's time to sleep!"

The bonfire was about to go out, and everyone went back to the tent to sleep, and as for Li Xiaofei, no one cared whether he stayed or not, just trying to be happy.

Li Xiaofei also dispersed with the crowd and went back to his camp to discuss the next countermeasures with Liu Mingge

"Silly boy, in half a month, we will not be able to take care of food, grass and military supplies, and hire a small boat to go to Chengdu, which is great."

Li Xiaofei knew that Liu Mingge was making fun of his desertion: "Mr. Liu must have already had a countermeasure, and Xiaofei came to ask Mr. for help."

"After all, I'm wearing the prime minister's clothes now, and I went to gamble with the soldiers and then won them all out, and it didn't sound good to spread the word."

"Is Mr. Liu a person who cares about a false name?"

"You kid still dare to figure out my mind, so let's do good things to the end, I have six sets of gambling equipment here, and I will pass on the secret skills to you tonight, and you, the incompetent coach, will win them, and discipline them to bow down to you!"

Li Xiaofei didn't believe it, the marshal of the dignified army went to gamble with the soldiers and cheated to win money, can this establish prestige?

"You kid is really an elm pimple, let me tell you, a man has three hates, one does not hate the person who drinks and drinks him down, the second does not hate the person who gambles and wins him out, and the third does not hate the woman who beats and scolds him every day!"

This is simply a wise saying, Li Xiaofei was irrefutable and knelt on the ground with convincing: "I am completely convinced today, the so-called murder is what Mr. Liu said, and if you damage others, you have to be applauded!" Terrible! It's amazing."

"That's all there is to the world, it's easy to say, but it's hard to do! But if you do it, there is hope! Your boy's pragmatic attitude is much stronger than those of us who have read the books of the sages! ”

"Mr. Liu means to start a gambling game tomorrow? And then win all their money so that they can be forced to go to war and die? ”

"You're too solid-eyed, how can you be tomorrow? You only eavesdropped on people today, and tomorrow you will start a gambling game, and they are not pig brains! This matter will be done again in Yiling, and Black Pearl has already sent ten gamblers over! ”

"Mr. Liu is really clever!"

"What a clever calculation, but I heard that someone over there opened a gambling house and harmed many people, and I sent my ten gambling sticks over this time just to make a small fortune for the people, and by the way, I will help you make a game. But we didn't take a penny of the money from these creeps, and we put five times more money for them. When they arrive in Chengdu, they will send it to them, and the bad people are also selling their money, and we can't take this money! ”

"The salary of being a soldier is not much, but the gentleman is still kind-hearted"

"Don't give me a tall hat, I sent someone to shoot this time, but also to let most people see clearly, there are ten gambles and ten frauds in this gambling house, and if you go in, you will send money, so that everyone in the world will stay away!"

"But some people like to gamble, and this kind of person can't help it!"

"It's human nature to gamble, why am I not gambling now, betting that you rabble can take over the world!" After Liu Mingge finished speaking, he sighed at the body of Emperor Ming beside him

"It's a pity that I'm late when I come back, otherwise I would have the motivation to charge into battle and take the head of the enemy general overnight!"

At this time, the body of Emperor Ming had been gilded by Liu Mingge, wearing a light blue scholar's costume and placed in a wooden barrel. Li Xiaofei carefully looked at Emperor Ming's body and found that even at night, there would be no fear of this body.

"Mr. Liu's feelings for Emperor Ming are really deep! I think there are endless stories to tell in the past! ”

"You kid, don't try to talk to me, we just look at each other and like each other, first we met in Pingshui and then we are friends of life and death!"
