Chen Deng's news came too timely, which is definitely a great thing for Hua Fei. Because this information can also explain a situation, that is, Liu Yan has already looked his eyes at Chang'an, which is far away in the northwest.

Under the bright red swaying lights, Hua Fei raised his hand to Xu Shu and asked, "Do you know, why did Liu Yan suddenly dispatch Zhang Lu to lead his troops north out of Dasanguan?" ”

"The situation is unknown for the time being." Xu Shu replied, "It's just that according to Lu Zhu, it seems that it is because Liu Yan's descendants are planning a big thing in Chang'an." ”

"It should be eight or nine." Hua Fei secretly high-fived, but said to Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhike ordered someone to tell Chen Deng, ordering him to try his best to listen to the information, and be sure to make all preparations in Chengdu." ”

"Whoa!" Xu Shu agreed, turned around and was about to arrange things.

But Hua Fei said again: "In addition, I ordered the guards to carefully listen to Liu Biao's movements, and to find out if there was a person named Liu Biao who came to Jiangzhou." ”

Xu Shu's order to Hua Fei was unknown, but he still gave up his orders and left.

When Xu Shu left, Hua Fei was alone under the bright lights, slowly turning the cool Buddha beads, thinking carefully about what he wanted to do at the moment.

The night is getting deeper and quieter, only the swaying bright red lights, from time to time to make a 'popping' sound, Hua Fei is in the cool night breeze under this lonely lamp, in the faint sandalwood fragrance exuded by this Buddha beads, planning his major events and future.

The course of history has not changed, which reassures him greatly. But he was worried that because he entered Shuzhong, the situation in Shuzhong would change.

In addition, did Liu He come to Jiangzhou? The stakes were so high that he was faintly worried.

Then there are these horses and generals in his hands, how to make proper arrangements in order to settle Shuzhong in one fell swoop, these are all problems that he must solve.

Just as he was planning things one by one, Xu Shu, who had finished arranging things, returned again.

"Lord!" After Xu Shu entered, he hugged his fists and saluted Hua Fei. He said loudly: "Chen Deng once again sent news that they have heard that the reason why Liu Yan sent people north seems to be related to the fact that the general of Zhengxi, Xiliang Ma Teng, went to Chang'an to meet His Majesty. ”

"That's right!" Hua Fei's smack! He clapped his high fives and said to Xu Shu in a loud voice, "The current imperial capital of Chang'an, there will be a big war in the near future, and Liu Yan's participation in this matter is a good thing for us." ”

Xu Shu lowered his head and thought for a while, before he replied in a deep voice: "The lord sent troops north by Liu Yan and the audience of Xiliang Ma Teng, and judged that there will be a big battle in Chang'an. Although this speculation is a bit far-fetched, it is not impossible. ”

Hua Fei listened and laughed secretly in his heart. He thought to himself: "You are not a person from the next generation, how can you know that Ma Teng, after Li Dao, who was in charge of the government, rejected his request, he conspired with the ministers of the court to attack Li Dao, which caused a big war. And Liu Yan's two sons were killed in this battle? ”

Thinking about it, he smiled at Xu Shu and said, "Yuan Zhi! After a while, you can order everyone to try not to have any unnecessary contact with Liu Yan's subordinates except to inquire about the news. ”

Xu Shu heard the order and arched his hand: "Huh! ”

Hua Fei said again: "The other thing is to order everyone, if there is no need, try not to get close to Mianzhu County within this month." ”

"Dare to ask the lord, why is this?" Hua Fei's repeated dumbness made Xu Shu's heart extremely uncomfortable! finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Hua Fei the question in his heart.

"Is this ......" Hua Fei was speechless for a while when he heard this. In desperation, he had to wave his sleeves and say, "Is this Mianzhu...... Something big is going to happen, and Yuan Zhimo asks me why, just believe me. ”

"Hmm......" Xu Shu heard this, and said with a deep groan, "Okay then!" I wonder if the lord has other things to tell him to do? ”

Hua Fei turned the Buddha beads, thought about it sideways, and suddenly asked Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi!" Do you say that the city of Jiangzhou is extremely important to Shuzhong? ”

"Lord!" Xu Shu saluted Hua Fei, then straightened up and looked south, paced slowly: "This Jiangzhou is a mountain city, and it is close to the bank of the Yangtze River, where there are many terraced fields, and the products are extremely rich. ”

As he spoke, he paused and glanced at Hua Fei, and when he saw Hua Fei nodding, he paced again.

"And this Jiangzhou can reach the White Emperor City more than 700 miles to the east, and you can go down the river to Jingyang and Yangzhou; More than 700 miles to the west, you can go directly to Chengdu; More than 700 miles to the north can reach Mianzhu; To the south, it can go directly to the Nanzhong area; It's a transit place, and how can there be any unimportant reason? ”

Hua Fei listened to Xu Shu's words, and couldn't help but nod his head in approval. He knew that Jiangzhou at this time was the Chongqing of the later generations. It's just that Jiangzhou at this time is definitely not as large as the scale of the city in later generations.

Thinking about it, he asked Xu Shu: "Recently, the guards, have you sent back any new information about various places in Shuzhong?" ”

When Xu Shu asked, he replied politely: "If you return to the lord, according to the report of the guards, Liu Yan has been deeply defensive against his subordinates guarding various cities since the rebellion of his heroes Jia Long and others. ”

Hua Fei sighed: "This is once bitten by a snake, and I am afraid of the well rope for ten years!" He has also suffered betrayal, and the end is worse than Liu Yan, so he can naturally deeply understand Liu Yan's mood.

It's just that he thinks that Liu Yan's approach is a bit too much, and it has the taste of knocking down a piece of people with a stick. You need to know that the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, how can you be wary of all people because one person rebels.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture to Xu Shu, motioning for him to continue.

Xu Shu said in the cool wind: "Therefore, although Liu Yan has more than 130,000 troops, he only has Zhang Lu, who went to Hanzhong in the early days, and has a strength of about 30,000 people. The number of troops in the other cities was about 20,000. ”

Saying that, Xu Shu paused slightly and said: "Only Mianzhu, where Liu Yan's governance is located, has more than 50,000 elite soldiers. ”

Hua Fei sighed: "This Liu Yan is probably frightened by the rebellion of Jia Long and others, so he put a large number of elite soldiers by his side. ”

Saying that, he paused slightly, and then asked Xu Shu: "Hanzhong is far away from Chengdu, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, so it is not a place that can be rushed back at any time. However, Chengdu is an extremely important place, who are its guards, and the guards can have news to report? ”

Xu Shuyu said: "The guard general of Chengdu is the first old subordinate Zhao Wei to follow Liu Yan into Sichuan. The soldiers and horses under his command are only about 20,000 people. ”

Saying that, Xu Shu held his sword, and said in thought: "With this kind of force, if Chen Dao, Liu Yu, Gong Du and other generals can suddenly attack the enemy under the leadership of Chen Deng, they should be able to successfully take Chengdu." ”

"No hurry!" Hua Fei waved his hand to Xu Shu and said, "Chen Deng's task is the key to this plan to take Sichuan, and if the time is not right, it must not be used lightly." ”

Xu Shu knew that Hua Fei had concerns in his heart and was unwilling to say all the plans.

didn't ask all at the moment, just nodded, and said to Hua Feiyu: "As for the guard general of Zitong County, he is also the first old general to follow Liu Yan into Sichuan, and his name is Dong Fu." This person's strength is about the same as Zhao Wei's. ”

Hua Fei waved his hand again and said: "Compared with Hanzhong, although Zitong County is not too far from Chengdu, it is just that after the ominous event happens in the future, it will naturally not have much impact on Chengdu. ”

Saying that, he turned the Buddha beads, walked to the door and looked at the south: "But what information do you have about Jiangzhou that our middle route army wants to take?" ”

According to the information obtained by the guards, the Taishou of Jiangzhou is surnamed Shen Mingmi, and he has more than 20,000 troops under his command. The guards reported that there was a soldier under the command of this man, who was extremely powerful. He is a hero who can fight in water, on foot, and on horse. ”

"Oh?" When Hua Fei heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to Xu Shu and asked, "Have you heard any specific news about this general?" (To be continued.) )
