In the first year of Long An, in the golden autumn of October, the osmanthus flowers burst out as scheduled, and the footsteps of autumn are quietly coming.

The autumn wind blows across both sides of the Weishui River and the Guanzhong Plain, leaving a golden yellow in the fields, and it is the harvest season again.

On the shore of Luoshui, hundreds of guards and horsemen scattered, guarding a huge tent.

In the tent, Yongwang Weishuo was listening to Cui Hong, Wei Daofu and others report on the autumn harvest in various places.

Spring planting and autumn harvest have always been important events for agriculture and mulberry, and have been valued by successive rulers.

After the wedding, Wei Shuo immediately focused on guiding the autumn harvest.

In order to show that he attaches great importance to agriculture and mulberry, he also took Cui Hong, Wei Daofu, Hu Fan, Kang Long and others to inspect everywhere.

Sometimes when night falls, he misses the city and towns, and he has to sleep in the wilderness.

Just like in front of you, find a random open space, set up a tent, and set up a simple camp.

Inside the big tent, Wei Shuo rubbed his temples, looked at another stack of official documents sent in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in distress.

Don't look at the fact that the cabinet has taken on most of the government affairs, but there are still fast horses that send all kinds of official documents to him.

Every day, Cui Hong, Wei Daofu and Hu Fan, Zheng Ye and other secretaries sorted the documents one by one and sent them to King Yong for processing in order of priority.

Finally, everyone had to hand over the documents that Wei Shuo had processed to the waiting messenger, who was responsible for delivering them to all parties.

The territory is bigger, the power is bigger, and although the scenery is greater, the burden on your shoulders is heavier.

Wei Shuo was strong and focused his attention on official business.

For a moment, there was silence in the tent, only the rustling of papers.

I don't know how long later, suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Kang Long walked in with a tray.

"King, take a break, eat something before reviewing the documents."

Wei Shuo twisted his sore neck a few times, his nose fluttered, and he suddenly smelled the smell of barbecue, and he couldn't help but feel hungry.

He closed the official document, looked at a few dishes and a large piece of barbecue meat on the tray, and couldn't help laughing: "It's quite hearty, you went to call this roast mutton?" ”

"Well, the last general took a few guards to search the mountains, forests and fields within a radius of several miles."

"Does anyone else have it?"

"Yes, all of them! Everyone has a share. ”

"Well, that's the best!"

"After I go out, tell everyone to hold on a little longer, and when the autumn harvest is over, I can go back to Chang'an to rest for a while."

After speaking, Wei Shuo stopped talking nonsense, to be honest, he was indeed very hungry, and immediately picked up the barbecue and devoured it.

In a short time, he eliminated a large piece of barbecue and couldn't help but burp.

Just as Wei Shuo wanted to take a break after dinner, he unexpectedly looked up and saw Cui Hong breaking into the big tent quickly.

He held an urgent report in his hand, sweating profusely and said: "Something big has happened to the king, and Shu is in chaos!" ”

"Really?!"

Wei Shuo, who had just filled his stomach, jumped up, grabbed the emergency report, and began to browse it quickly.

It was a long time before he muttered, "Is the time finally ripe......?" ”

"My lord, all parties in Shu have become a pot of porridge, and the opportunity to go southwest of Hexi has come!" Cui Hong's eyes burned.

"In Xuan Bogong's opinion, what should Hexi do next?"

"It's best to get the consent of the imperial court first, so that His Highness can justifiably transfer troops south."

"Of course, the black line can't passively wait for the will of the imperial court."

"Anyway, the king has secretly deployed troops on the front line of Qinling Mountains, and now he can let the generals start acting."

"Well, what Uncle Xuan said is even more in line with me!"

"You immediately prepare a concert for Gu and ask the Son of Heaven to quell the rebellion."

"In addition, send another secret letter to Mu Zhi, ask him to find Wang Mi, and be sure to let Wang Mi talk about Huan Xuan."

……

When the Hexi envoys rushed to Jiankang, the situation in Yizhou was deteriorating step by step.

Mao Xuan learned that he had launched a mutiny and killed Mao Jin, so he hurriedly dispatched troops to prepare to quell the rebellion.

He first sent Wang Qiong to lead 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and then sent his brother Mao Ying to lead 4,000 soldiers as the rear.

However, to Mao Xuan's expectation, the officers and soldiers of the two routes fell for the conspiracy and were ambushed by the rebels.

After the battle, most of the 7,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and only more than 2,000 people were left to retreat into Chengdu.

At the same time, Hou Hui, Chen Mingzi and other rebel generals had led a large army to the outskirts of Chengdu and surrounded the city.

I have to say that Dajin has really not won much popularity in Shu over the years.

Except for a few people who are inclined to the Jin, most of the wingmen, Di people, and even Jin people are on the side of the rebels.

Under such internal and external troubles, how could the officers and soldiers be able to hold Chengdu?

Under the lure of Chen Zong, Hou Hui and others, some generals in the city secretly communicated with the rebels when they saw that they could not do anything.

On a night when he couldn't see his fingers, the city opened the city gates and welcomed the rebels into Chengdu.

Caught off guard, the defenders were quickly killed by the rebels like chopping vegetables and melons.

Mao Xuan, Mao Ying and others had no time to dodge, and unfortunately they were all killed by the rebels.

A few days later, he entered the city, proclaimed himself the king of Shu, and began to set up hundreds of officials in Chengdu.

He appointed Qian for the Yizhou Assassin History, and Chen Mingzi as the Bazhou Assassin History, and led his troops to 5,000 people to prevent Jiangdong.

……

The feudal officials were killed, and the court was particularly angry, but because Huan Xuan was busy searching for the remnants of the Huiji Wang, he had no time to take care of Yizhou.

Even from a certain point of view, Huan Xuan wished that Mao Xuan would be killed, because then there would be one less feudal town that opposed him.

But Huan Xuan also knew in his heart that the rebellion in Yizhou must not be tolerated, otherwise it would damage his prestige.

However, at present, Huan Xuan is unable to deal with the Yizhou Rebellion, and can only watch as he divides Shu.

Just when Huan Xuan was helpless, King Yong invited Zhan Song Zhang to enter Jiankang, causing an uproar inside and outside.

Huan Xuan couldn't make up his mind, so he summoned Wang Mi, Yang Fu, Yin Zhongwen, Bian Fanzhi and other henchmen to discuss countermeasures.

"King Yong's request to go south to quell the rebellion, what do you think of this?"

"This ......," Bian Fanzhi said with a frown.

"King Yong is the hero of the world!"

"His request to go south is not just to help the imperial court quell the rebellion, the minister feels that he has taken a fancy to the country of abundance."

Others echoed Bian Fanzhi, but Huan Xuan was noncommittal when he heard this.

To be honest, Huan Xuancai doesn't care about the belonging of Yizhou, even if it is eventually occupied by the rebels or Hexi, it is better than falling into the hands of Mao Xuan to resist him.

But he could think so, but he couldn't.

After all, now that he has entered Jiankang, he represents the imperial court, and if he ignores this, it will definitely damage his prestige.

Wang Mi next to him glanced at Huan Xuan, and remembered what Liu Muzhi had explained, and he began to agitate for a three-inch tongue.

"Chen Zong and Hou Hui were originally court officials, but now they raise troops to rebel, which is undoubtedly to smear your face as the Duke of Nanjun."

"I think about it at the beginning, why did you raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch? Isn't it precisely because of the incompetence of King Huiji's father and son that they sit back and watch the chaos in the southeast? ”

"If you also allow the rebellion in Shu to break out, then it is difficult to guarantee that no one will treat you as the father and son of the prince of Nanjun in the future."

As soon as Wang Mi said this, the scene suddenly fell into a dead silence, and even Bian Fanzhi frowned and said nothing.

Huan Xuan pondered carefully, feeling that what Wang Mi said was reasonable, and couldn't help but secretly think: "Now there is still a strong enemy like Liu Yu, if he uses this as an excuse to raise troops, won't it be a big deal?" ”

"But if you send troops to quell the rebellion accordingly, it's good if you succeed, but if you are unfortunate enough to be defeated, won't you lose your momentum?"

When Huan Xuan was in a dilemma, he heard Wang Mi say again: "Now that Nanjun Gong has just entered the Beijing Division, the situation on all sides is still unstable, so it is not appropriate to rush to attack Shu." ”

"If you take advantage of the situation to agree to King Yong's invitation, you can use the power of Hexi to quell the rebellion."

"Second, if King Yong receives the holy decree, it will also take the opportunity to show the outside world that he is on your side."

"In this way, it not only saves the suffering of the expedition of the army, but also can use the power of the Yongwang Tiger to deter Xiaoxiao, isn't it a double win?!"

"Ah! Brother Zhiyuan's words are very kind. Huan Xuan said happily.

"This duke will give an order to Zhiyuan, and let him go south immediately to quell the rebellion."

Seeing that Huan Xuan had made up his mind, others did not dare to object, and expressed their support one after another.

Wei Bian Fanzhi felt that it was inappropriate, but he had no better way, so he had to remain silent for the time being.

It wasn't until the holy decree was drawn up that Wang Mi breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and finally lived up to Liu Mu's trust.

The imperial court's decree soon reached Chang'an, and so far Wei Shuo had cleared all obstacles, and no one could prevent Hexi from going southwest to take Shu.

Hexi soldiers and horses gathered on the front line of the Qinling Mountains, and the soldiers pointed directly at Hanzhong and Shu.
