Hanzhong, as an important passage connecting Guanzhong and Bashu, can be said to be full of people in the peaceful and prosperous era, and the carriages and horses that pass here every day are countless, and the more and more barren land of Guanzhong is also relying on the materials transported from Bashu to alleviate its own needs.

But all this in the troubled times, have ended, from the Chongzhen Emperor ascended the throne, to now, decades, through the Hanzhong trade merchants are also less and less, until the recent Hanzhong War, the important business situation is completely cut off, although the time is not long, it is still winter, can be seen from the increasingly barren road, how depressed is now.

If nothing else, want to restore the grand occasion of the past, I don't know that it will be that year, but all this is over today, from early in the morning, a group of soldiers outside Hanzhong City began to panic busy, of course, they are not holding knives, guns and weapons, but hoes and shovels and other items, half a day, under the busyness of more than 1,000 people, the traces left by the original war not long ago were completely wiped out by them, and at the same time, the original weeds, increasingly barren roads were quickly cleared out, It's even filled with red clay, and it looks like it's a world away from the road it once was.

The reason why there will be such a rejuvenating action is because at noon three days later, Shi Lei, the actual ruler of Shaanxi, Lord Shi will be here to negotiate with the emperor of the Great Western Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong, whether it is Shi Lei or Zhang Xianzhong, in the whole world today, they are one of the few big people, the two of them are not full to talk and play here, but to discuss national affairs, since it is a big deal, how can it be feasible without a good environment.

"I didn't expect that this Hanzhong is much warmer than Guanzhong, our Chinese land is really a good place, but it's a pity that since ancient times, it is also this rich and good place, which restricts our own development, so that we think that we will always be **** Shangguo, and everywhere else is a wild place, no one wants to go out at all, really go to see the outside world, until now, Franco, who is thousands of miles away from us, can actually make the big ship through the stormy sea, to our Daming, But even so, those of us who think that we are **** in the kingdom also look down on them, thinking that their things are some strange and ingenious things, not enough to be outsiders of the last things, but they never thought that it is these strange and obscene things that they look down on, but it has changed our lives, if we go on like this, I am afraid that one day it will be completely surpassed by these barbarians, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will be too late for us to catch up. While riding on the horse and slowly moving forward, Shi Lei generally said to the people around him.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, the people around him all thought about it with understanding, it's not that these people are really so smart, as soon as Shi Lei said it, they understood, but with the experience of the past in front, they don't believe it and can't do it, this time the officials who followed Shi Lei to Hanzhong all followed him into the craftsman camp, and those things in the craftsman camp that they once thought were strange and ineffective are now many of the things that Shaanxi depends on for survival, this naked reality makes them have to pay attention to what Shi Lei said, In addition to this, there is also a point because, these words, Shi Lei has said many times, they are all good at the top, and they must be effective at the bottom, the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace, if they want to be valued by Shi Lei, then they must be clear about Shi Lei's preferences, if not, how can they be promoted and reused by Shi Lei, which is also a tradition in Chinese officialdom.

"My lord, about the matter of your meeting with Zhang Xianzhong outside the city, my subordinates still want to ask you to think twice, although now we are not afraid of what conspiracy Zhang Xianzhong will use, but we all say. The son of a daughter can't sit down', your current safety is related to the life and death of the entire Shaanxi and the imperial court, everything is still better to be careful, so, according to the subordinates, you still talk to Zhang Xianzhong in the city, and even your subordinates can go to meet Zhang Xianzhong outside the city to negotiate instead of adults, after all, by now, Zhang Xianzhong has reached the end of the mountain, and we are not afraid that they will be disobedient. Just when everyone was thinking about Shi Lei, Jia Hanqing on the side spoke.

To say, up to now, with the rapid development of Shaanxi forces, Shi Lei's status is also a straight line of improvement, women's self-confidence comes from their own beauty, and men's self-confidence comes from their own ability, with the improvement of status, Shi Lei's bearing is also different from the small people in Beijing City, to now, more officials or people, after seeing Shi Lei, although Shi Lei did not do anything, but most people still become at a loss because of their own nervousness.

In this way, there are not many people who really dare to talk to Shi Lei face-to-face now, even if they really dare to talk to Shi Lei, they have reservations, most of them say some good things, and the only people who can really refute Shi Lei's opinions or persuade him are those old people, and Jia Hanqing is the representative figure.

It is precisely for this reason that after knowing that Shi Lei wanted to come to Hanzhong City to have face-to-face negotiations with Zhang Xianzhong, Jia Hanqing raised objections to Shi Lei several times, if it was something else, I am afraid that Shi Lei would agree, Shi Lei also knew that Jia Hanqing was well-intentioned, and he was not willing to easily win his face, but the matter discussed with Zhang Xianzhong was very important, for Shi Lei, if he did it well, not only could he get huge benefits now, but after he really dominated the world in the future, It also has a huge impact on future external actions, so Shi Lei had to refuse Jia Hanqing's proposal several times.

Although Shi Lei's refusal made Jia Hanqing very angry, for the safety of Shi Lei, Jia Hanqing still pushed down countless affairs and came to Hanzhong with Shi Lei, in order to ensure Shi Lei's safety.

"Hahahaha, Brother Jia's kindness is very clear in his heart, but this matter is not as simple as it seems, otherwise the little brother would not have put down his official duties and come to this Hanzhong in person, you just said that this Zhang Xianzhong is now at the end of the mountain, he will not be unfavorable to the little brother at this time, if that is the case, he is not Zhang Xianzhong, and there will be no such achievements as now, so, although Brother Jia can rest assured, the little brother will definitely be fine this time, besides, there is an iron bear by the side of the little brother, Even if Zhang Xianzhong and others really ate leopard gall and lost their minds, they couldn't hurt the little brother in the slightest. Hearing Jia Hanqing's words, Shi Lei had to say with a smile, the person who can make Shi Lei laugh, in the entire Shaanxi court, Jia Hanqing is the only one. Even Emperor Hongguang in the palace is not worthy of Shi Lei's this

Just when Shi Lei entered Hanzhong City, there was also a team to the south of the Hanzhong Ancient Road, this team is not too big, that is, more than 3,000 people, although the number is not much, but the solemn and solemn temperament, but people can know at a glance that this team must be an iron army that has experienced the sea of corpses and blood, and the same is true, this army is the emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, Zhang Xianzhong's personal guard, Zhang Xianzhong, the most rogue Zhang Xianzhong, will never lose the army.

It is precisely for this reason that for his own safety, he has been constantly drawing the most powerful and brave soldiers among his soldiers since he started, and the brave soldiers have joined his own pro-army, after so many years of training, the Great Western Army is getting stronger and stronger, and with Zhang Xianzhong's continuous conquest, this pro-army around him is also getting stronger and stronger.

"Father-in-law, this time we only brought 3,000 people over, is it a little too few, you know, although these 3,000 pro-army are the elite of the elite of our Great Western Army, they are all veterans of a hundred battles, but after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, if the Ming army really does not keep its word and wants to deal with us, I am afraid we will really die here." It was Liu Wenxiu who spoke, and this time, Zhang Xianzhong still left Sun Kewang, so he brought Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi to come.

Hearing Liu Wenxiu's words, Zhang Xianzhong, who was dusty but energetic on the side, said with a smile, "Hahaha, Wenxiu, do you know where your shortcomings are?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong's words made Liu Wenxiu stunned, and then subconsciously asked, "Where is it?" After asking this sentence, Liu Wenxiu regretted it a little, according to his usual cautious character, even if he was curious in his heart, he would not ask so bluntly, but Zhang Xianzhong's words just now really shocked him, and after such a long march, his spirit finally relaxed a little.

"Hahaha, Wenxiu, do you know, when it comes to being cautious and careful, you are one of the best people in our Great Western Kingdom, so some detailed things will be handed over to you, but this is both your advantage and your disadvantage, you know, if people are too meticulous and think too much in their hearts, they will also lose their decisiveness. Then it is likely that you will face the situation of missing the opportunity, you know, on the battlefield, if you can't seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy, then what you wait for is often defeated, which is why the father-in-law rarely lets you lead the army alone, not that the father-in-law favors others, but if you really let you lead the army alone, your character will make you lack decisiveness when you encounter things, resulting in inevitable losses. Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.

After hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Liu Wenxiu was completely stunned, and did not come back to his senses for a long time, at this time, Liu Wenxiu finally understood why in the previous battles, Zhang Xianzhong rarely let him serve as the commander of the first army, often when it was necessary to divide the troops, either Sun Kewang was the commander, or Li Dingguo was the commander, but he was in an auxiliary position.

He used to think that this was the reason for Zhang Xianzhong's partiality, but now he finally understands that it is not Zhang Xianzhong's partiality, but his character that determines his achievements, he never thought that the prudence and caution that he is usually most proud of will actually become the biggest obstacle to his superiority, thinking of this, Liu Wenxiu's heart churned, and he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. Fortunately, Liu Wenxiu is not an ordinary person, although he is still a little awkward in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his emotions, and followed Zhang Xianzhong with a normal face.

Seeing Liu Wenxiu, who had returned to normal, Zhang Xianzhong still nodded secretly in his heart, you know, the reason why he said Liu Wenxiu's shortcomings so bluntly today is to make him change, after all, if he talks to Shi Lei today, they will soon face the situation of going to Yunnan, although he talked about going to Yunnan before, it seems to be a very easy thing, but Zhang Xianzhong knows that the truth is definitely not the case.

Let's not talk about the Burmese army that is now raging in Yunnan, let's just say that the Tusi in Yunnan, which is more powerful than Sichuan, and the Muwangfu that has taken root in Yunnan since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all of this is not something that can be solved by force alone, so he needs to gather the most powerful force now to carry out future actions, and in these actions, the most important people are his righteous sons, Ai Nengqi will not say anything, even if he adjusts it, it will not change much, then only Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu are left, Sun Kewang has always been cultivated by Zhang Xianzhong as a successor, and he is not bad in all aspects, the only thing that worries him is Liu Wenxiu, in order to dispel all kinds of thoughts in Liu Wenxiu's heart, Zhang Xianzhong said such a thing today.

"Wenxiu, are you wondering, why did you ask about your father, but your father talked about your shortcomings." Zhang Xianzhong said.

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Liu Wenxiu quickly cleaned up his mood, nodded and said, "Yes, this is also where the child feels strange, this is very different from his father-in-law's usual style of acting, could it be that there is nothing to do with it." Liu Wenxiu is still very smart, and he suddenly realized Zhang Xianzhong's meaning from Zhang Xianzhong's words.

"Hahaha, yes, Wenxiu, you have to know that everyone has their own shortcomings, no matter who they are, this will not change, in the same way, there are shortcomings and advantages at the same time, and for Shi Lei, although the father has not seen him yet, through this way, he can be regarded as knowing a little about him.

Maybe in the eyes of others, he is just a lucky boy with a lucky star, but the actual situation is not the case, the more he knows about him, the more he admires him for his father, although he may have some luck in it, but most of the time, he is relying on his real strength to live, and in these things, his father also found his shortcomings or advantages, that is, he is very ambitious, his ambition is very huge, greater than the ambition of everyone in the world. Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile.
