Zhou Tai watched Huang Yueying disappear around the corner, and ran to the rear suddenly, Yang Zishang looked at Zhou Tai's back, and said to Fan Lixiang: "My lord, I see that Zhou Taisheng is heroic and extraordinary, with a manly face, good martial arts, an all-rounder in land and water warfare, and an infatuated man, on the other hand, Huang Yueying is born ...... How could Huang Yueying not accept Zhou Tai? ”

Yang Zishang hated the family to the core, even if the Huang family had never rebelled against the Sichuan army, Huang Yueying was a figure valued by Liu Zhang, and made immortal contributions to the stability of Jingzhou, but Yang Zishang still didn't like this woman, and there was little respect between words.

Fan Lixiang smiled and said: "Sister Yueying and Lord Yang Zi are good at the opposite field, Lord Yang Zi is good at external beauty, and Sister Yueying can't compare." ”

Fan Lixiang left with a smile after speaking, leaving Yang Zishang messy.

…………

Under the scorching sun, Huang Yueying and Huzi rode to the city gate of Chengdu, stationed on the horse and looked at the city pass, Huzi wiped a handful of sweat and looked ahead, and said to Huang Yueying dissatisfiedly: "Sister Yueying, Liu Zhang is too much, I asked you to come to Chengdu to discuss the military situation, I can't say it if I don't greet it in person, and now I don't even have an official to greet him, I don't think he takes his sister seriously at all." ”

Just like Ah San followed Zhuge Liang, since Huang Yueying came out of the mountain, Huzi followed Huang Yueying, and saw how much Huang Yueying paid for Liu Zhang all the way, and several times Huang Yueying asked people to block the Huang family's rebellion by force, and killed a few relatives Liwei.

He and Huang Yueying braved the scorching sun and came thousands of miles from Jingzhou non-stop, and now they have received such a cold reception, and Huzi is very worthless for Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying smiled: "Huzi, use some brains in the future, I will still wear a guilty body." He has a bad reputation among the people. The lord was right to do so. Also, pay attention to the title in the future, although you have not officially joined the Sichuan Army, but your sister has served, you won't give your sister a little face? ”

"Oh, okay." Huzi agreed and looked around: "But someone has to show us the way." ”

Just then, a plainclothes man came running from a nearby roadside restaurant. glanced up and down at Huang Yueying, and immediately saluted: "Miss Huang is here, the lord asked the little one to wait here for many days, and finally looked forward to you, I also participated in the battle of Fancheng, and the demeanor of the military division ......"

"Lead the way."

"Yes."

Huang Yueying stepped into the gate of the pastoral mansion, someone had already informed Liu Zhang, the door was calm as usual, as soon as Huang Yueying entered the door, she saw Liu Zhang with his own soldiers to greet him. The two went up to an attic on the second floor together, and there was a large umbrella tree outside the attic. Shelter from the shade all year round, but it is also cool.

Liu Zhang called the lotus flower to fan Huang Yueying, and after Huang Yueying greeted Cai Wei, she wiped her face with wet wipes, took the fan and fanned it herself, and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, tell Yueying about Nanzhong, what is the adult's strategy?" ”

"Your Excellency?"

"Yueying is still a grass farmer."

Liu Zhang smiled, "You tell me your opinion first." ”

"Soft is the mainstay, supplemented by offense." Huang Yueying replied without hesitation.

Liu Zhang nodded and said his thoughts, and Huang Yueying groaned slightly: "Seven captures and seven verticals? This is extremely soft, not only to let the barbarians know that we can defeat him at any time, but also to remove the resentment of the barbarians, and to thank us for our kindness......"

"Are you sure?"

"No idea."

Liu Zhang sighed: "Alas, this thing is really difficult to do, there is no map, how can it be played." ”

"The map is not the key, we have a living map, although the map described by those barbarians in the Sichuan army cannot present an overview of the jungle, but the lord should know that if we attack Nanzhongman, we can enable Wuxi Man, go over the mountains and mountains, and do not need too harsh map conditions."

"That's right."

"Even if there is a map, this strategy is really difficult to do, the lord has received a great talent in the north, the strategy of soft attack, let Yue Ying admire it very much, but it is a pity that before the soft attack, you have to attack hard, Huang Quan is right, if the casualties are large, then the revenge, the casualties are small, the barbarians do not know the might, it is indeed difficult to do."

"Still." Huang Yueying smiled: "These lords don't have to worry. ”

"Oh, why?" Liu Zhang was about to turn white, but Huang Yueying actually said that she didn't have to worry.

Huang Yueying fanned while pulling the neckline, the snow-white skin inside faintly revealed the deep ravine, and Cai Wei, who was fanning Liu Zhang, saw it, and said in her heart: "If my niece is not too ...... With this seductive figure alone, how many people have to be fascinated to death, but it's a pity ......"

Huang Yueying said: "Lord, no matter how we choose, whether to fight with the Nanban, or to strike the army after intimidation, we must send troops to Nanzhong first, since we must go to Nanzhong, then what scruples do we have, go first and then talk about it, contact with the barbarians is better than worrying in Chengdu." ”

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, yes, anyway, he had to transfer troops to Nanzhong, why should he keep sitting in Chengdu and not sending troops for a long time, but it made the barbarians feel that they were afraid of them.

"The faster the troops, the better, the terrain in Nanzhong is complicated, it is not suitable to use spears, we use a large number of Wuxi soldiers, a small number of Sichuan troops, all with short guns like white guns, each with a small round shield, trekking through mountains and rivers is beneficial, bring more herbs and fire-inducing things."

"All right, my lord." Huang Yueying threw the fan and stood up: "Yueying went to take a shower first, she died of heat." ”

Cai Wei watched Huang Yueying leave, and said to Liu Zhang while fanning: "Husband, how is it, my niece is generous, decent and wise, have you married?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Liu Zhang was embarrassed.

"Hmph, the husband is clearly judging people by their appearance." Cai Wei turned around angrily, Liu Zhang took the fan in Cai Wei's hand, and said while fanning the two of them: "Well, Yu'er, you don't want to think about it, if I marry Yueying, what will Yueying think?" I thought I was trying to use her talent to tie her to my side, which is not good. ”

"Oh, that's it...... Kindness? Cai Wei's eyes suddenly opened: "What do you mean by using Yueying's talent?" Don't you still mean that people have to ...... Men don't have a good thing. ”

That night, Zhou Tai rushed over from Jingzhou, claiming to follow the army to defeat Nanzhongman, but Zhou Tai was already seriously injured and left Jingzhou. He was reprimanded with two hundred military sticks by Wei Wen's staff. One hundred military sticks will be punished for desertion without permission. One hundred sticks agreed to release them.

Zhou Tai's buttocks were beaten into mud, and after the beating, Zhou Tai didn't recuperate at all, and immediately rode a fast horse to Yizhou, bumpy all the way, and the rotten flesh of his butt was already stinky, that is, Zhou Tai, an undead monster, replaced someone else. I don't know how many times I've died.

A day later, Liu Zhang's ascension officially decided to go to Nanzhong, and when he heard that Liu Zhang was going to go to Nanzhong in person, a salt and iron official named Wang Lian tried hard to persuade him.

"The lord must not be personally recruited, the barren land in the south and the middle of the country, the hometown of the plague, it is not appropriate to take risks lightly, and the great cause of Jingyi should be the most important."

Liu Zhang said: "Lord Wang, how can you ignore the 100,000 barbarian troops in Nanzhong? ”

Wang Liandao: "It's not that my subordinates said that they would not conquer Nanzhong. It's just that the lord only needs to send one general, hasn't Miss Huang Yueying already arrived in Chengdu? You can let Miss Huang lead the army. Safe. ”

Huang Yueying stood behind the civil and military forces, smiled at this time, and walked out to Wang Lian and said: "This lord, this is a bad word, not to mention that the little woman has no official position now, she can only be regarded as a diner in the main court, and this time she is not a teacher who depends on fighting."

If the barbarians are interested, we will strike the army and make peace, if not, we will attack the hinterland of the barbarian region, and then we will strike the army and make peace, which requires the lord to come forward to appease.

The four counties of southern Xinjiang have just been pacified, and the people's hearts need to be appeased, and they also need the lord to come in person, according to the heart of the four counties, if the barbarians in Nanzhong can bathe in my Han Dynasty, my southern Xinjiang capital can be moved from the current Ba County to the outside of Jiaozhou, which also requires the lord to have a grasp. ”

"Miss Huang." Wang Lian looked at Huang Yueying and said: "The barren land in the south is full of dangers, the Fazheng army and division have all been poisoned, and they are still seriously ill on the bed, we should learn a lesson, how can we let the lord take risks, if the lord has any accidents, how can Miss Huang bear it?" ”

Huang Yueying listened to the discussion of some officials in her ears, but she was not talking about what Wang Lian said, she frowned, smiled and said to Wang Lian: "Lord Wang, the stability of southern Xinjiang is the same as suppressing the rebellion, attacking Jingzhou, and attacking Xiqiang, it is my Jingyi's hundred-year plan, Lord Wang will never think that we have obtained a little foundation now, and the lord should be timid...... Okay, I, Huang Yueying, am here to assure you. ”

Huang Yueying looked at Zhongwen Wu and said: "I, Huang Yueying, will definitely use my life to let the Lord return to Chengdu in peace." ”

Wang Lian listened to Huang Yueying's loud words, and finally had no answer, Liu Zhang smiled, stood up and said: "Everyone, this expedition is related to the stability of the south and the overall situation of the opening of the Silk Road. ”

The final word, no more objections.

Liu Zhang's integration of the barbarian army directly under the Eight Thousand Sichuan Army, including the Wuxi people and the Nanzhong people, were all made up in the past year through the attraction of Juelu, the four imperial examinations and the barbarian area conscription, all dressed in soft armor, armed with white pole guns, built with standard mountain troops, and were light and well-equipped.

And in this expedition, no one brought antidote general herbs and a small shield, the shield was light, and ordinary sharp arrows could not be prevented, but the barbarians' bone arrows could still be prevented, and the most important thing was not to prevent arrows, but to open the way and wade through the water.

Chengdu, Tianxiang Inn.

Tianxiang Inn is an inn opened by the Jin family in Chengdu, since the Jingyi rebellion fell, business really began to flourish, Shuzhong businessmen felt struggling, so they united to set up a chamber of commerce, develop together, coordinate and win-win, mainly for the northeast of the Yangtze River and the Western Regions market, do unified deployment, do not tear each other down.

And now, the bigwigs of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, the Qu family, the Jin family, the Huang family, the Yin family, etc., are discussing a matter that has nothing to do with the Western Regions in the northeast of the Yangtze River.

"Shu Hou swore to die today, have you heard? But from Shu Hou and Huang Yueying's words, I feel that something is wrong. The representative of the Huang family spoke first: "Huang Yueying said that if the barbarians are interested, they will stop the army and make peace, what does this mean? ”

The golden fat man said: "The meaning of this is still unclear? If the barbarians know each other, they will go back to Nanzhong, and the Silk Road will still be opened. ”

"It's weird." Yin Bai refuted: "You think too simply, this time Meng Yao, the commander of the Yinkeng Cave Qu, who claims to be the king of the south, and brought a group of savages to invade my Jingyi, this group of savages will be Shu Hou's opponents?" Will it be Huang Yueying's opponent? Joke, right?

I'm sure that when the two armies fight, the barbarians will definitely be defeated, and what will happen if they are defeated? ”

"If you use barbarians to bully the soft and fear the hard temper, you must strike the army and make peace." The representative of the Huang family said.

"That's right, but when they retreated, are they convinced?" Yin Bai asked.

The crowd shook their heads.

Yin Bai clapped his palms: "Ah, Huang Yueying said, as long as the barbarians are interested, they will stop the army and make peace, but the barbarians are definitely not Huang Yueying's opponents, the barbarians are defeated, it is strange if they are not interesting, and they will definitely retreat."

But the retired soldiers must not be convinced, so what will happen? Oh, I can't beat you openly, I'm secretly making trouble for you, what the hell can a barbarian do? Isn't it clear to everyone? The Silk Road. ”

All the businessmen froze, Yin Bai's words are indeed reasonable, the development of the situation is likely to be the barbarians wronged and suing for peace, and then interfering with the Silk Road, which is likely to block the opening of the Silk Road, or even interrupt, which is what they are most worried about.

Qu Xi pondered for a while and said: "Yin Gongzi is right, we must not let such a thing happen, either let the barbarians be convinced, or he can't turn over, we must support Shu Hou to fight." ”

"What is Qu Gongzi going to do?"

Qu Xi frowned and thought for a while: "We continue to raise donations for Shuhou, someone will contribute people, there will be money to pay, there will be grain to pay, transportation and supplies, logistics supply, we can all help the Sichuan army."

But this is obviously not enough, Shu Hou will not fight because of public opinion, after all, war is a major military matter.

My idea is that interests are not only pursued by our businessmen, but also by princes, and Shu Hou will be no exception, we must let Shu Hou see the prospect of interests, and let Shu Hou pay more attention to the opening of the Silk Road. ”

"The opening of the Silk Road can increase trade and trade, slaves, gold and silver, the import of various strategic materials, the export of porcelain and silk paper, and the expansion of Jingyi's strength, isn't this enough?"

"Of course it's not enough, these things are too slow to take effect, it will take a few years for the Silk Road to open, and it will take a long time for merchants to trade to become the norm, and there can be no food shortage in the middle, if the output of grain becomes less, Shu Hou will definitely be in agriculture."

Therefore, we want to let Shuhou see the short-term benefits of opening the Silk Road. ”

"Short-term benefits?" The merchants were puzzled.

Qu Xi nodded, stood up and said: "Okay, everyone should think about it when they go back, what can we see short-term benefits in countries such as poison, Nanluo, etc., especially in terms of armaments." ”

……………………

Liu Zhang, Huang Yueying, led Xiao Furong, Huang Zhong, Guan Yinping, Gao Pei, Yang Huai and other generals, out of Ba County, Cai Wei stayed in the southern Xinjiang capital to protect the mansion, the army entered Jianning, and Li Hui, Bao'er, Hua Boy and other Wuxi barbarian troops in southern Xinjiang converged, with a total strength of 70,000.
