The captives of Yuecheng were finally arranged, and in addition to those who had returned home, there were more than 5,000 people left, accounting for almost half of the total number.

At the beginning of the southern expedition, Liu Chan led 20,000 troops, and later added less than 10,000 troops of Li Yan and Ma Dai, although some sacrifices were sacrificed in the siege of the city a few days ago, but now more than 5,000 troops have been added, and the total number of troops has increased instead of decreasing, with more than 33,000 people.

Without the breakfast that Huang Hao was waiting for, Liu Chan summed up what was missing, which made him can't help but think of the brutal Zhang Yingying.

"I don't know how Yingying is now." Liu Chan muttered a wry smile and shook his head, thinking to himself that he was now leading troops to fight, how could he think about these children's affections.

"Alas" Liu Chan sat on the desk, sighed slowly, looked at the soldiers who walked out of the threshold with their rice bowls, stretched their waists, and slowly stood up.

Just then, a soldier hurried over.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li Yan and General Zhao Yun are asking to see you outside the door." The soldier bowed his head and spoke quietly, but sonorously and forcefully, with a military style.

A smile hung on the corner of Liu Chan's mouth, and he said lightly: "Let them in." ”

"Yes!" The soldier hugged Liu Chan again, and then hurriedly retreated.

After a while, Li Yan, who was dressed in a dark brocade robe, and Zhao Yun, who was dressed in a military uniform, walked in side by side.

"See Your Majesty!" The two stepped into the threshold, looked at Liu Chan who was sitting on the side of the previous plan, and hurriedly saluted.

"You don't need to be polite, please take a seat." Liu Chan smiled and waved, and the two of them sat down.

hugged Liu Chan with his fists, and the two sat down on the desks on both sides of the hall.

"How's the matter of the prisoners arranged?" Seeing the two of them sitting down, Liu Chan tapped his fingers on the desk and asked calmly.

"The minister has already asked Guan Ping and Zhang Bao to take them to training." Zhao Yun hugged his fists and replied honestly.

Liu Chan nodded, then lowered his eyelids, looked at the slender fingers tapping on the table on the table, paused for a moment, raised his head and asked, "What do the two adults think we should do next?" ”

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Chan and said, "The minister thinks we should take advantage of the victory and continue to go south and take Yizhou County!" ”

Liu Chan nodded, turned his eyes to Li Yan and asked, "What does Lord Li Yan think?" ”

From this attack on Yuecheng City, Li Yan's old success and decisiveness Liu Chan showed vividly, so he also wanted to hear Li Yan's thoughts.

Li Yan hung his head, under a dark brocade robe, like a kind old man, but those who knew him couldn't associate him with the word kindness at all.

As if sensing Liu Chan's gaze, Li Yan slowly raised his head, his slightly chaotic gaze gradually radiated light, and gradually converged again, paused, and said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that what General Zhao Yun said makes sense, it is time to take advantage of the victory to continue the expedition to Yizhou County, but"

"Oh?" Liu Chan and Zhao Yun both set their eyes on Li Yan.

Li Yan ignored the gazes of the two, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them: "Your Majesty, has you forgotten the army that attacked the city last night?" And the woman who was held hostage by His Majesty and retired from the army! ”

With a slight frown, Liu Chan thought that he still didn't know anything about this army now, and that woman always gave Liu Chan a sense of danger. And Zhao Yun on the side also nodded thoughtfully with a calm face.

Li Yan saw the confusion between the two, although it was now spring, he was still used to putting his hand into his sleeve robe, and said with a smile: "The minister of that army has investigated clearly, and the identity of that woman, the minister also knows a rough idea!" ”

Looking at Li Yan's confident look, Liu Chan and Zhao Yun looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes at the same time.

Li Yan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Last night, it was the main force of Meng Shu, the barbarian king of Yizhou, who attacked the city, Feidang Army!" ”

"Meng Huo?" Liu Chan slowly muttered the name, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to remember what the woman said to him that night, frowned and muttered: "That woman told me last night that she was Meng Shu's sister, called Meng Shuang, it seems to be true?" ”

Li Yan nodded slightly, and said: "That person is as good as the minister guessed, it is Meng Huo's sister, but Your Majesty only knows one of them, but he doesn't know the other!" ”

"Two?" Liu Chan looked at Li Yan with a puzzled expression.

Li Yan nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Before the first emperor arrived in Chengdu, there were eight major families in Nanzhong back then, among which the Li family, the Gao family, and the Meng family were the most powerful."

Liu Chan's eyes were solemn, he always thought that Nanzhong was just some chaotic thieves, but he didn't expect that there would be such a secret!

Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, looked up at the roof, and hung down for a moment, as if he was recalling something.

After a pause, Li Yan said: "The people of Nanzhong have always been warlike, and they are not afraid of death, when the eight clans were at their peak, even we had to be afraid of three points!"

"At that time, Liu Zhang also commanded Yizhou Mu, there were Zhang Lu in the north, and there were eight tribes in the south, and it was difficult to survive, but later it was the Fa Zheng Fa filial piety and direct advice, and finally let the eight tribes in the south kill each other, and we have the strength to resist Zhang Lu in the north."

"You mean Jihou Fazheng?!" Liu Chan's face was calm, and the picture of the fragment suddenly floated in the depths of his mind.

It was one night, Liu Chan was still young, looked at Liu Bei who was in pain while drinking and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Adou, my father is missing an arm! Missing an arm! Liu Bei kept pouring wine into his mouth while being in pain.

"Isn't my father's arm still there?" Liu Chan looked at Liu Bei's sound two arms and wondered in his heart.

Later, he learned that on that day, Fa Zheng passed away and was given the title of Ji Hou by his father.

Shaking his head fiercely, Liu Chan continued to stare at Li Yan and said, "What strategy did Ji Hou use at that time?"

"Discord Meter!" Li Yan closed his eyes slightly, and then recalled: "At that time, although the eight clans in Nanzhong were strong, no one was convinced by anyone, so the Marquis of Ji took this opportunity to let the eight clans compete for a unified leader of the eight clans, and when the time came, he accepted the title of barbarian king canonized by the royal family and ordered the eight clans."

"And then?" Liu Chan narrowed his eyes and then asked.

"Huh." Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Later, the eight clans in Nanzhong really won the scheme, for the title of a vain barbarian king, the eight clans fought openly and secretly, and finally a big melee broke out."

"The patriarch of the Meng clan, that is, the father of Meng Shu and Meng Shuang's siblings, had 30,000 warriors in the clan at that time, who were unstoppable, and finally became the so-called barbarian king, and the Li family, the sworn enemy of the Meng clan, was directly removed from Nanzhong."

"Straight out of the list!?" Liu Chan took a deep breath, and his heart was solemn for a while, thinking about how tragic the battle between the eight clans was back then, and how successful the plan was.

"Yes, delisted!" Li Yan calmed down, and continued: "Later, after the Meng clan became the barbarian king, he found out that he had been hit, but when he thought about attacking Chengdu again, he found that the army was already running out of troops in the four killings of the eight clans, and the barbarian king inside also died of depression in exhaustion."

"Hehe, just for the title of a vanity barbarian king." Liu Chan shook his head and smiled bitterly, but in a blink of an eye, if he had the strength at that time, he might also fight.

That's the ** and the terrible thing about the right.

Li Yan and Zhao Yun also sighed, and then Li Yan said: "However, the barbarian king has a son and a daughter, the son is born with divine power, brave and strong, quite the style of the barbarian king back then, and this daughter is even more terrifying, smart and clever since she was a child, and her wit is unparalleled, after the death of the barbarian king, all the tribes are ready to move, and they want to compete for the title of barbarian king, but the two brothers and sisters have overwhelmed all the clans in less than two years, and the Meng clan has returned to the situation of the remaining seven clans of the year, and its ability can be imagined!"

Liu Chan's eyes froze, and he clenched his palms tightly, and now he has a deeper understanding of Nanzhong through Li Yan.

"Huh......" exhaled deeply. Liu Chan gradually narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "The water in Nanzhong is not good this time!"

Li Yan didn't speak, just closed his eyes calmly, paused for a moment and said, "The minister has a plan."

Suddenly opened his eyes, Liu Chan's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and hurriedly said, "What is the plan of the adult?!"

Li Yan still closed his eyes, and said word by word: "Discord plan!"

With a shock in his heart, Liu Chan couldn't help frowning and said, "Didn't Ji Hou use it?" Are they still fooled?! ”

"Hehehe." Li Yan smiled lightly, "Everyone has **, now the title of barbarian king is not only a fictitious title, but also the king of the hearts of the people of Nanzhong, could it be that the other clans are willing to let the Meng clan be the barbarian king of Nanzhong, but they bow down to their subordinates?!" ”

Liu Chan half-squinted his eyes, and from time to time there was a fine light in his eyes, pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Yan and said, "How does the adult plan to separate?!"

Li Yan still said with a deep calm face: "The old minister has been thinking about it for a long time, and I feel that the success of this divisive plan depends on one person!"

"Who?" Liu Chan and Zhao Yun also looked at Li Yan with curiosity.

"Gao Ding!"

"Gao Ding?"

"That's right, it's Gao Ding, the Gao family was on the side of the Meng family back then, so they didn't suffer any losses, but...... If you don't believe in Gao Ding, you don't have the heart to be a barbarian king! In addition, now that Dongwu is going to marry the Meng family, when the time comes, with the foreign aid of Dongwu, the Meng family will be even stronger, and Gao Ding will definitely find foreign aid, and we will be Gao Ding's foreign aid to support him and Meng Shu to fight, and then we will eliminate them from it! ”

"But...... We've just fought Gao Ding......"

"Hehehe." Li Yan smiled, squinted at Liu Chan and said, "Your Majesty must know that there are only eternal interests, and there are no eternal enemies!"

Liu Chan nodded slowly, squinting his eyes thoughtfully......
