In an unknown valley on Chuanxia Road, Zhao Gu and his party have been living here for seven days, during which nothing has happened, and they are extremely bored. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the eighth day, the situation finally changed, and Zhao Gu's brother-in-law, Xiaoyi, finally sent a piece of information.

After reading the information, Zhao Gu sat at the suggestion stone table, thought quietly for a long time, wrote a note to Zhao Guangyi, and sent an entourage to deliver the letter.

And he himself then left the small valley with Su Xiaocheng and the others and went to the center of Chuanxia Road.

From Xiao Yi's intelligence, Zhao Gu had already learned about the state of Shu, and also knew that the first battle of Shu after the founding of the state was defeated in a general book named Yang Lie, with a loss of 30,000, and now at this moment, it is estimated that Shu is continuing to fight with Yang Lie.

Zhao Gu had the intention to pacify the Sichuan Gorge Road and increase the political cost for himself, so he naturally could not stay in the small valley at this time, so he took advantage of the fact that the Shu Kingdom was on a campaign and the jurisdiction of the territory was not strict, so he planned to go to the Sichuan Gorge Road in person to see the heroes of Shu.

He said that on the way from Kaifeng City to Chuanxia Road, the injury he had suffered in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures recurred, and the road was delayed for a few days, and when he arrived at Chuanxia Road, Shu had already established a country, and he felt speechless in the face of the court and Gonggong Zhugong, so he planned to go deep into the tiger's den and think of quelling the rebellion.

The purpose of his recital was to gag Zhao Guangyi's mouth, because according to his guess, if Zhao Guangyi learned the news of the Shu State, the first thing he thought of would not be to suppress the rebellion, but to take this opportunity to kill himself.

There is no doubt that Zhao Guangyi is such a person, a slightly neurotic person.

So Zhao Gu had to gag his mouth in advance, he said on the song that his old injury had recurred, and when he arrived at the Sichuan Gorge Road, Shu had already been founded, so this matter could not be related to Zhao Gu, even if Zhao Guangyi had the intention to take this as a crime, those pedantic civil officials would not agree, after all, whether Shu was founded or not, had nothing to do with Zhao Gu at all, and he only learned the news after the founding of Shu, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

And he said that he would go deep into the tiger's den, and occupy the commanding heights in righteousness, if Zhao Guangyi still had to impose a crime on Zhao Gu, it would be insulting the countryman, if he insulted the countryman, where would those civil officials let him go, even if they couldn't beat Zhao Guangyi, but it was annoying enough to talk in his ears all day long.

After entering the Sichuan Gorge Road, Zhao Gu and his entourage came to Xingyuan Mansion in Shu Kingdom, that is, Hanzhong in later generations.

Xingyuan Mansion as a provincial unit, slightly higher than the state, whether it is the degree of prosperity, or the population density, are much more than the general state city, there is also the industry of Zhao Valley, Zhuozhou Commercial Bank's Baiwei Restaurant has been open here for three months, Liu Ji Bufang has also been opened, as for Xianyun Villa is still under construction, the main person in charge of the commercial bank here is named Li Chengzhi, is a distant relative of Li Danran.

Zhao Gu came here, he was looking for him, after arriving at the Baiwei Restaurant in Xingyuan Mansion City, Zhao Gu secretly revealed his identity, Li Chengzhi came over after a while, he knew Zhao Gu, and hurriedly greeted him.

Zhao Gu waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and asked, "Cheng Zhi, I told you indifferently that I came to Chuanxia Road, right?" ”

"When I went back to my home, my cousin told me." Li Chengzhi replied.

"Okay, you are an indifferent brother, I will have something to say, although our Zhuozhou commercial bank is mainly doing business, but I also ask you to collect all kinds of information, this indifferent told you, right?" Zhao Gu asked again.

"I said, you want to know the news of Shu, right?" Li Chengzhi seemed to have guessed Zhao Gu's intention, and after speaking, he took out more than a dozen envelopes from his arms.

"Here is the personal information of most of the high-ranking officials of Shu, and there are also some of the military arrangements of Shu." Li Chengzhi followed.

Zhao Gu glanced at him appreciatively: "Yes, I know how to plan ahead." ”

Taking the envelope, Zhao Gu opened it one by one, and after reading it, he handed it to Li Chengzhi.

At this time, he already has an understanding of the general situation of Shu, all in all, Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun have been plotting to rebel for many years, these two people are usually just ordinary rich people, and the relationship with various government is good, the popularity is good, taking advantage of the Sichuan Gorge Road was oppressed by the imperial court too ruthlessly, and the Sichuan Gorge Road soldiers and people suffered heavy losses, they recruited a group of people to kill officials and rebel, which established the Shu State.

And because of the haste of the incident, and after all, there are still fewer people on the Sichuan Gorge Road, so there are not too many talents under the command of these two people, at least the talent of a general like Cao Bin and the talent of a prime minister like Lu Mengzheng, he does not have it here, only a rich businessman named He Fatzi, who is now the prime minister of Shu State, and is still a talent, and Shu State has developed well under his governance.

The people of Chuanxia Road still trusted Shu very much at this time, which was related to their complaints about the Great Song Dynasty, and also related to Wang Xiaobo's search for rich merchants everywhere and distributing money and grain to the people.

After reading this information, Zhao Gu was not in a hurry to decide on the next plan, and said to Li Chengzhi: "You can focus on helping me investigate He Fatzi, Yang Lie, and Lu Yiping." ”

Li Chengzhi responded: "Yes." ”

Zhao Gu inquired about the development of Zhuozhou Commercial Bank on Xichuan Road, and asked Li Chengzhi to arrange a room for everyone, planning to live here for a while first.

On the other side, the news of the state of Shu finally reached Kaifeng City, and the city was suddenly full of panic, and there was silence in the court, as if there was some storm brewing.

The eyes of all the ministers couldn't help but glance at Zhao Guangyi, everyone knew that this emperor had always been trying to compare with Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and what he was most keen on was to establish himself as an image of an emperor through the ages, which was also the reason why after the Northern Expedition, he was in a hurry to go west without waiting for the Great Song Dynasty to slow down.

It is precisely because he wants to prove that he is stronger than his brother, so he has to go on a series of expeditions to the south and the north, and he wants to use pieces of land to prove that he Zhao Guangyi is strong.

However, at this time, the Sichuan Gorge Road rebelled, and the strong establishment of Shu was equivalent to a slap in the face to Zhao Guangyi.

Everyone knows that Zhao Guangyi will not be able to endure this humiliation, and even if he exhausts the strength of the whole country, he will recover the Sichuan Gorge.

In the Zichen Palace, none of the ministers dared to speak at this time, and no one was willing to bear Zhao Guangyi's anger, although they all knew that the fundamental reason for the Shu State was because Zhao Guangyi was in a hurry, and after the Northern Expedition, they successively marched westward, but they also knew that Zhao Guangyi was an unreasonable neurotic, and they were afraid that they would be targeted by this neurotic at this time.
