On the other side, after Zhuang Ji and Ba Wang led the army to Dianjiang, Ba Wang stayed in Dianjiang to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, while the Chuba and Ba coalition forces took Zhuang Ji as the main general and Ba Qian as the deputy, leading a total of 20,000 people to continue north.

Fifty miles after the army left Dianjiang, news from Langzhong came.

As soon as Zhuang Ji heard that the Qin army had already controlled the entrance of the Micang Ancient Road and the strategy of intercepting the Qin army outside Badi, he immediately accelerated the speed of his way to Langzhong.

Then, after the army had advanced another thirty miles, the messengers sent from the direction of Dianjiang quickly caught up with the army.

As the army was advancing, Ba Qian looked anxiously to find Zhuang Ji:

"General, no, just now the widow came with news from Dianjiang: two days ago, Zhang Ruo, the guardian of Shu, invited Shu Houhui to his mansion in the name of taking refuge in Shu Houhui, and as a result, Shu Houhui was assassinated outside Zhang Ruo's mansion. Shu Hou Hui was killed on the spot, and then Zhang Ruo came forward to control Chengdu, and the Qin officials in Chengdu City all fell to Zhang Ruo except for Shu Hou Hui's sworn friend. ”

Zhuang Ji's face was heavy when he heard this, and then he hurriedly asked, "What about the Shu people in Chengdu City?" Did the Shu people have a large-scale conflict with the Qin people, and how is Chengdu now? ”

Ba Qian shook his head heavily, and then explained: "Zhang Ruo was not alone when he came forward, and he was accompanied by the people of the Du family of the former royal family of the Shu Kingdom, and it was precisely because the people of the Du family came forward to appease the Shu people, as a result, most of the officials of the Shu people surrendered, and the small department was close to the Shu Hou Hui was killed, and even the Shu Prime Minister Chen Zhuang was also executed. ”

Zhuang Ji's face suddenly became ugly.

Shu has a long history, but Shu is not a single dynasty from beginning to end, but has gone through several dynasties.

The so-called silkworm cong and fish fish, how blank is the founding of the country, it is the founding monarch of the two dynasties of Shudi, not the two Ming monarchs of one dynasty.

The Shu State that was destroyed by the Qin State was the Kaiming Dynasty, and the reason why the Kaiming Dynasty seized the Shu State was because Du Yuchan, the king of Shu of the Yuyu Dynasty, was forced more than a hundred years ago.

And the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, Turtle Ling, was originally a native of Chu, because he completely calmed the floods that had plagued Shu for decades and allowed the people of Shu to settle down again, so he got the support of the Shu people, and succeeded in rebelling in one fell swoop.

After usurping the throne, in order to better integrate into the Shu Kingdom, Turtle Ling not only changed his surname to Du, but also recognized the former Shu King Du Yu as his father.

Therefore, although the former Du clan has been suppressed by the King of Shu for many years, because of the name of the father and son, it has always been able to get by, although the strength is not good, but the status and title are very high.

More importantly, after the founding of the Turtle Ling, many Shu people also made up the story of the cuckoo crying blood in order to commemorate Du Yu, who was seized from the country.

More than 100 years have passed, even the Kaiming Dynasty of the turtle spirit has perished, but the story of the cuckoo's blood has spread more and more widely, so that the Shu people regard the cuckoo bird as a national treasure and protect it spontaneously, even if it is a five-year-old child in Shu, he will not hurt the cuckoo bird.

Therefore, the people of the Du clan came forward to appease the Shu people, and the situation of the Shu people can be imagined.

Thinking about it, Zhuang Ji couldn't help but sigh and said: "Damn, the good situation was destroyed in an instant." ”

Ba Li sighed and then hurriedly spoke: "General, not only that, according to the spies. After Zhang Ruo completely controlled Chengdu, he recruited 10,000 Qin people in Chengdu that day, and sent these Qin people to Jinniu Road to welcome Sima Wrong into Shu. ”

Zhuang Ji's face changed greatly when he heard this.

In the current situation, the general trend of Sima Cuo leading the army into Shu has been decided, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, maybe he has successfully entered Shu now.

In this way, it is completely unnecessary for him to lead the large military region to support Langzhong.

Moreover, once Sima Coo came from Chengdu, then the first to bear the brunt was Dianjiang, the capital of Pakistan.

If the Dianjiang River is lost, it will be meaningless to defend the country.

For him, going to Langzhong is to fall into his own death, and for the state of Chu, the distant state of Chong is far less important than the country of Ba. As long as the Ba State is there, even if the Qin State occupies the Shu State again, the threat to the Chu State will drop by several levels.

Thinking about it, Zhuang Ji had the intention of retreating.

At this time, Ba Li was looking at Zhuang Ji expectantly.

For him, Pakistan is the right thing, and as for whether the country is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with him.

Now that Pakistan has been threatened by Qin, the country... Let Chongguo die!

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Then, Zhuang Ji immediately ordered: "Order, the army will be rerouted immediately, the front army will become the rear army, the rear army will become the front army, and return to Dianjiang immediately."

The order was sent to inform General Sima immediately, asking him to send reinforcements to Dianjiang as soon as possible. ”

"No!"

At the same time, Ba Li was also instructing a person: "Quick, immediately go to Langzhong to inform General Xuan Xuan, and let him immediately lead the army back to Dianjiang." ”

"No!"

As soon as the military order was given, the army immediately turned back.

A day later.

In the city of Langzhong.

Ji Yu looked at the resignation of Xuan Xuan, and almost cried out in a hurry.

Painstakingly raised an army against Qin, killing and wounding thousands of people, and as a result, even half a day of peace and stability did not pass, and the country would face destruction again.

However, there is still a little bit of happiness in his heart, fortunately, the Qin army came quickly, otherwise, he would have come two days late, and after he ascended the throne, he, the king of Zhongxing, would have broken down before he became the king of the heavenly kingdom, at that time, how did the people of the country think of him, and how did the people of all countries look at him.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

Thinking about it, Ji Xi immediately said righteously: "General Yu, I have confiscated the country to recover Langzhong, and the Ba people have helped. Now that Pakistan is in trouble, how can it be abandoned in the future? Therefore, it was decided to go south with the general to aid the Dianjiang River to make the most of the friendship between Pakistan and Pakistan. ”

"Childe, this..."

"The general doesn't need to be persuaded, I have made up my mind."

“··· Childe brings more people! ”

“··· Good. ”

"Also, the Qin people are coming from afar, food is the key, and I ask Gongzi to send someone to empty the treasury controlled by the people first!"

"This..."

"If the son is reluctant to burn it, then ask the son to give all the money and grain to the people."

"That's it!"

Then, Ji Yu and Xuan Xuan delayed for another day in Chongguo, and then marched south with their army.

The other side.

Jiangzhou.

Sima Qian, who was building a long wall outside the city to besiege Jiangzhou, received the news from King Ba, and immediately looked at the lifeless Jiangzhou city chief and sighed.

The bad news came so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

Originally, I thought that the two places of Bashu, as well as the Jiangzhou City in front of me, had already decided the overall situation.

However, I never expected that the situation in Shu suddenly changed, and the newly restored country of Pakistan fell into turmoil again.

The king of Ba asked him for help, but what could he do?

There are still 8,000 Qin troops waiting in Jiangzhou City, and these Qin troops may come out to do things at any time, how can he just leave Jiangzhou and let Jiangzhou go unattended.

However, if you don't go to help Dianjiang, I'm afraid it won't work.

Most of the troops in Dianjiang are improvised rabble, and their combat effectiveness is low, and the only high morale is probably the moment the Qin army besieges the city.

If he doesn't lead the army forward, I'm afraid that Dianjiang will not be protected.

Thinking about it, Sima Jian suddenly saw the river rolling away outside Jiangzhou City, and then, his eyes lit up.
