Soon, the time was June, and a breaking news was quickly delivered to Li Xin from Yizhou in the south. "Is Zhou Fu dead? It seems that the time is finally coming! There was only one short line of words on the secret letter, but Li Xin showed a smile after reading it.

Zhou Fu is Jiangzuo's Yizhou Assassin History, since Huan Wen took advantage of the chaos to destroy the Cheng Han forces in Liang Yi's land, he basically stayed in Chengdu to serve as the Assassin History. Because it has won local support in Yizhou, it is considered a very prestigious person, and over the years, although there have been small chaos in Yizhou, there are basically no major events.

The most important thing is that his existence is like a stone of Zhenhai for Sima Xun, the assassin of Liangzhou who is in the north of Yizhou.

After all, Sima Xun has always had the heart of self-reliance over the years, and he has long coveted Yizhou, but he has never dared to do it because he is afraid of Zhou Fu.

Now, Zhou Fu has finally died, and it is his son Zhou Chu who has taken over the position of Yizhou Assassin. Obviously, Zhou Chu is not as good as Zhou Fu, and he has no deterrent power at all for Sima Xun. Presumably, Sima Xun will act soon, after all, he has endured it for so many years.

"You personally go to Longxi and bring the letter to Zhou Tong. In addition, immediately send people to various places to convey the king's orders to the generals everywhere! At the same time, from now on, the staff department should pay more attention to Liang Yi Erzhou! After pondering for a while, Li Xin instructed Tu Qi.

"Yes, the minister understands!" Tu Qi immediately responded.

Everything was as Li Xin expected, when the news of Zhou Fu's death reached Hanzhong, Sima Xun in Nanzheng County couldn't help but be ecstatic. It was the time he had been waiting for for years, and now it was finally there.

After all, seeing that the Tang Dynasty in the north is becoming stronger day by day, Li Xin has become a famous Tang King from a nameless hairy boy at the beginning, and he is now a powerful king of the world.

This kind of thing is simply stimulating him all the time, and now, it is finally his turn to realize his wish.

However, he did not act rashly, and after discussing with his henchmen and advisers, he finally decided to prepare secretly, and at the same time sent someone to contact Datang, so as to obtain Li Xin's support. After all, today's Datang and Liangzhou are fully bordered, and if they do it on their own side and Datang also sends troops to themselves, I am afraid that they will fail before they succeed.

For the secret envoy sent by Sima Xun, Li Xin naturally said good words to comfort ~ comfort, and at the same time, he also agreed to Sima Xun's good at forming allies. And promised that if it was critical, it would also provide material support, and even soldiers and horses.

Of course, Li Xin will not contribute in vain, basically speaking, he still has to pay a certain price for the other party. However, this price is insignificant compared to Sima Xun's success.

So much so that after Wang Meng and the others learned of his agreement with Sima Xun, they all felt that they were a little too tolerant, as if their side was too at a loss. However, how did they know what Li Xin was thinking? To tell the truth, Li Xin was not worried about his loss, because he knew that this Sima Xun would not succeed at all.

He promised the other party, but it was just to calm his heart, so that the other party could do it boldly with confidence. After all, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for for a long time! For this reason, he also specially presented a batch of jeweled BMW to Sima Xun to strengthen his courage.

In a blink of an eye, it was October, and a trivial incident occurred in the middle, that is, the bald Xianbei leader in the northern area of Qinzhou passed away. And his son Bald Si Fuqian personally went to Chang'an, in addition to reporting to the imperial court, he still asked Li Xin to order him to take over the position of patriarch.

This is a good thing, because it symbolizes that Datang's control of the Hu people is gradually on the right track. Once this system is fully established, the right to appoint and dismiss Hu leaders in the future will have to be allowed and appointed by the Tang Dynasty to gain legitimacy.

Li Xin received him, and sent someone to check on him, and then he was officially appointed to take over the people, and gave him some things and faith. It can be regarded as setting a rule for future generations and leaving an example!

After waiting for a long time, in November, after half a year of preparation and the bloody elimination of those officials loyal to Jiangzuo in Liangzhou, Sima Xun called himself Liang, Yierzhou Mu, and Chengdu Wang, and finally began to act.

He first led his troops into the Sword Pavilion and went south to attack Fuxian County, Zitong County, and the Xiyi Lieutenant stationed here did not resist at all, but directly abandoned the city and fled. Therefore, Sima Xun easily took Fu County.

Fu County is near Mianyang in later generations, at this time it is the county seat of Zitong County, which can be said to be the north gate of Yizhou Prefecture to govern Chengdu, and it is only more than 200 miles away from Chengdu. So, Sima Xun soon led the army to the outside of Chengdu and surrounded Zhou Chu in Chengdu.

Such a big event is naturally a shocking thing for Jiang Zuo today. Originally, Jiang Zuo's side focused all his attention on guarding against Datang, but what he didn't expect was that civil strife broke out on his side first, which made many people worry about Jiang Zuo's safety.

There is no way, if Liang Yi Erzhou loses, it will be a huge loss for Jiang Zuo. This is not only a shrinkage of the territory, but also a huge loss of population and tax revenue in the two states.

At that time, with Jiang Zuo's strength, he will not be able to deal with the powerful Tang Dynasty in the north. After all, the Land of Abundance is not called for nothing, especially after so many years of development.

For this reason, Huan Wen also had to shift his attention to the southwest. Especially because he destroyed Cheng Han before and took Liang Yi and other places back to the imperial court, everyone had high hopes for him.

Although Chengdu is critical, it has not yet reached the point of no return! Therefore, Huan Wen was on the table at the beginning, and asked the general of Yingyang, Jiangxia Xiangyi, Yang Xuanxu, to escort the expedition to save Chengdu. But if we save Chengdu alone, we will naturally not be able to solve the war.

Therefore, after considering that Jingzhou, which was very close to Liang Yidu, Huan Wen ordered Jingzhou to assassinate Shi Huan Huo and let him send troops to attack Sima Xun's old nest Hanzhong. In this way, it can be said that the bottom of the kettle can be used to quell Sima Xun's rebellion as soon as possible.

In the seventh year of Tianding, in March 366 AD, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Huan led an army of 10,000 to attack Nanzheng and attack ~ Sima Xun.

At this time, Sima Xun was still fighting with Zhou Chu and them outside Chengdu, and he had been fighting for several months, but he was stunned that he had not been able to defeat Chengdu. On the contrary, Xuan Xu, who rushed to this place, cooperated with Zhou Chu inside and outside and began to launch a counterattack against Sima Xun, causing a lot of losses to his soldiers and horses.
