Xiao Shilian sighed secretly in his heart, although Li Xinchen's understanding of the situation in Bashu was only limited to those materials, but his grasp of the thoughts of these officials in Bashu had reached the point of perfection.

The hearts of the people are back, and it can already be seen at this time, and who is the last master of this Bashu, do you need to say?

This may be the biggest difference between himself and even everyone in the entire East Palace system and Li Xinchen, at this time, Xiao Shilian can better understand why Li Xinchen is so indispensable from the perspective of the East Palace, rather than from a personal perspective.

Of course, he understands these and can't say it, after all, there are some truths that everyone understands, but if you say it, it's a bad thing, which is a tacit agreement that everyone abides by.

At that moment, he pointed to Ba County in the distance, and Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice: "That uncle and brother think that if you want to cross the river from the east of Ba County, which place is the most suitable?" ”

"Is the general trying to outflank the back road of Raven Mountain?" Cheng Feng asked in surprise.

If Xiao Shilian wanted to attack Ba County, he would definitely not specifically emphasize crossing the river in the east of the city, and in line with the purpose of not letting the enemy find out his true intentions, Xiao Shilian could not choose only one direction to cross the river. Only when the target is not Ba County will he seek to cross the river on the east side.

Crossing the river from the east of the city can deter the defenders in the city, and secondly, it can outflank the back road of Lao Ya Mountain, so that the Northern Zhou water division on the front line from Lao Ya Mountain to Tongluo Gorge will be attacked by the enemy, which is indeed a good choice. It's just that in Cheng Feng's opinion, such a mighty army came out and went around in such a big circle, or was it to outflank the back road of Lao Ya Mountain?

If you have this kung fu, why not directly attack Lao Ya Mountain, I'm afraid that Lao Yao Mountain would have already fallen into the hands of Li Xinchen, after all, the defenders of Lao Yao Mountain are not many, and it is impossible to support it for too long under the onslaught of the army.

In Cheng Feng's view, although the loss of troops is very important to Li Xinchen, it cannot be more important than taking Ba County as soon as possible.

Smiling, Xiao Shilian simply rejected Cheng Feng's speculation: "We don't fight Lao Yashan, nor do we fight Ba County." ”

Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, seeing that Xiao Shilian didn't mean to explain further, he immediately frowned, and looked at Ba Jun on the bank of the big river in front of him, thoughtfully.

Xiao Shilian is still young and old, so what will Li Xinchen look like who is above him? In an instant, Cheng Feng felt that this battle was not Li Xinchen racking his brains to attack the strong defense line of Ba County at all, but playing with the Northern Zhou army of Ba County.

After thinking about it, Zhang He, the leader of Chuzhou, has relied on his own background to be the Zhang family over the years, and he can be regarded as a famous family, and he has really done a lot of bad things, including the promotion of him and Yongan Dai Cai and others, all of whom were choked because they did not pay tribute to this Zhang Thorn Shi on time, and even Cheng Feng was kicked out of Bajun to farm in a col like Fuling.

Ba County was defeated and lost, and this one had to go around without food.

"I heard that this Zhang He is a bad person and has a very bad official reputation?" Xiao Shilian asked curiously at this time.

This was what he knew before, but seeing Cheng Feng gritting his teeth, he might as well just add another fire.

Cheng Feng nodded solemnly.

The Chu Prefecture of Bashu, also known as the West Chu Prefecture, is to distinguish it from the Eastern Chu Prefecture in the area of Pengcheng in Huaibei, which is not big, in fact, it only includes the area of Ba County, Fuling to the White Emperor City, which is equivalent to the scope of Chongqing in later generations, and is not a big state, but it covers all the essence of the state and county of Badi, which is an out-and-out fat shortage.

In the Northern Dynasties system, the history of the assassin who held the military power was called the "history of the leading army", and the history of the assassination of the "bicycle assassination" was only the history of the power to manage local civil affairs and supervision.

Although both are assassins, everyone knows that in this troubled world, only with soldiers in their hands can they have the real right to speak.

Obviously, Zhang He is such a Taishou who has the right to speak, not to mention that he also has the title of leading the military governor of Chuzhou, which makes it smoother for him to take charge of the army, and he is also the Taishou of Ba County, the first county of Chuzhou, so it is a word for one acre and three points of land in Chuzhou.

This kind of thing of stabbing history and controlling the soldiers and the people was absolutely shocking in the Han Dynasty.

However, with the establishment of the "state pastor" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he took the lead in breaking this restriction, and there were many people who were in charge of the military and civilians who sat on one side, for example, Wu Mingche was the governor of the five states of Huainan, and he had jurisdiction over the military and civilian affairs of the entire Huainan, and now Xiao Maha, as a hussar general and the governor of Jingzhou, also has jurisdiction over the affairs of all state capitals within the scope of the entire Great Jingzhou.

Therefore, there is nothing to be surprised by the fact that Zhang He has absolute control over Chuzhou.

It is precisely because of such great power that Zhang He will have a decisive influence on the promotion of Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and others.

At the mention of this former boss, Cheng Feng itched his teeth, and he couldn't wait to swallow this guy who was indirectly assigned to him with blood.

Xiao Shilian also knew a lot about this Zhang He's deeds before, and knew that Cheng Feng's nod was definitely not out of personal grudges.

Zhang He was born in Qianwei for the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was also regarded as a first-class wealthy family in this Ba County in the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 300 years ago, but when Liu Bei entered Shu later, Zhang Song, the head of the Qianwei Zhang family, was killed because of the reason for introducing Liu Bei into Shu.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, although Zhang Song was a hero, but because he died before Liu Bei entered Shu, and Zhang Song was killed because of his brother's report, and even almost ruined Liu Bei's plan, so Qianwei Zhang had no merit in Liu Bei's entry into Shu to establish Shu Han.

With the establishment of Shu Han, the Jingxiang family dominated, and the Qianwei Zhang family gradually declined because of it, and when it came to Zhang He's generation, it could only be regarded as a small family that still maintained the family business, and Zhang He, as the head of the family, stood on Lu Teng's side with a clear banner when Lu Teng strangled the Ba people, and was the first to express his position among the many forces in Bashu.

Therefore, Lu Teng rewarded Zhang He a lot, and then promoted him more, taking it as an example to cooperate with the Northern Zhou court. As for Zhang He's specific personality, he didn't actually care about Lu Teng, because at that time, he needed more to stabilize people's hearts than what kind of person Zhang He was.

It's just that Lu Teng didn't expect that Zhang He, who was bold in front of him, completely tore off his disguise after he left, installed a large number of Zhang family's children, and also expropriated violently, so as to enrich the warehouse that the Zhang family had been vacated for too long.

What's more important is that Zhang He did not show mercy to the rest of the families and civil and military officials in Ba County, whether it was Dai Cai or Cheng Feng, they were obviously deeply affected, and even the Xiajiang Tang clan was provoked by Zhang He many times, just because in Ba County, Zhang He still dominated, so he dared not speak out.

It can be said that the entire Ba County has a lot of complaints about Zhang He, especially in the past few months, Zhang He increased taxes privately, which made his official reputation a mess.

If it weren't for the fact that there were few people in Ba County over the years, and all the key points close to Ba County were under the control of Zhang He and his henchmen, I am afraid that this matter would have been poked out long ago.
