Chapter 459: Undercurrents are surging

"General, general, urgent report ahead." At this moment, a junior colonel took a letter and strode towards Hua'an.

Hua An hurriedly took the letter, and immediately opened it to watch, after a while, frowned and said: "Fang people are looting everywhere, the people near Fucheng have suffered a great disaster, more than 1,000 people have been killed and injured in just one day, Lei Storm and Li Yi and other generals are dividing their troops to chase and suppress everywhere, the effect is not great, I am here to tell you in a hurry!" ”

"Big brother, the fangs are so rampant, we can't waste time in Luocheng, we must immediately lead the army to kill Fucheng to rescue the people of Shu there." Wang San hurriedly said.

Hua An nodded, and said: "You are right, the problem of the fangs must be solved as much as possible, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable, Wang San, you immediately notify the pro-military battalion and the seven thousand men and horses under the command of Tie Niu, and let all the soldiers prepare dry food for three days, and after an hour, march to Fucheng." ”

"Yes, big brother." Wang San answered, turned around and went to give the order.

Hua'an originally planned to march to Fucheng on the second day, so that Zhuge Qi's 1,000 men and horses could join him, but at this moment, the military situation in the direction of Fucheng was urgent, and the people were suffering huge losses.

The location of Liangzhou is relatively remote, the population is not much, if the fang people are so unscrupulous to make a fuss, the people have no sense of security, and they will definitely move their families, so that the population of Liangzhou will be more scarce, as the history of Liangzhou, if the area under the jurisdiction is not enough population, then the development of production in the future. The conscription of soldiers, etc., will be greatly restricted.

Without the population, it will not be able to produce enough grain and grass, and it will not be able to gather enough troops, which will deal a great blow to its future great cause of the Northern Expedition, and it is very likely that the Northern Expedition will fail because of the lack of troops and grain and grass.

For this reason, Hua An made up his mind to immediately lead the main force to march to Fucheng, and at the same time. In order to speed up the march. Let all the soldiers bring their own dry rations for three days, so that they can abandon the slow-moving baggage battalion and quickly reach Fucheng.

Meantime. You can also let Li Qinglian stay in the baggage camp. Waiting for Zhuge Qi's Wudang Flying Army. Then, let the baggage battalion and the Wudang Flying Army go to Fucheng together.

Before Wang San went to pass the order, Hua An wrote a letter to Zhuge Qi. And went to the baggage camp, personally handed over to Li Qinglian, and explained his deployment in the letter, asking Zhuge Qi to protect the baggage camp and march to Fucheng.

After all the arrangements were made, Hua'an left more than a dozen personal soldiers to wait for Zhuge Qi in the camp, and then led his 8,000 men and horses to march towards Fucheng.

At this time, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Huan Wen escorted Li Shi, the king of Shu State, has arrived in Chengdu, after discussing with Deng Yue and others, Huan Wen decided to rest in Chengdu for three days, and then led the main force of the Jingzhou Army, escorted Li Shi and other Shu royal families to the capital Jiankang, at the same time, left Yizhou Assassin Shi Zhou Fu and 5,000 Jingzhou troops to guard Chengdu.

Due to the fact that many places were still unstable in consideration of the initial determination of Shuzhong, Deng Yue would lead the army of Jiaoguang Erzhou to stay in Chengdu temporarily to assist Zhou Fu, and after a few months, Shuzhong tended to be stable and then returned to the south.

In fact, under the apparent peace of Chengdu, there is an undercurrent, where the Shuzhong clan and many of Li Shi's former ministers are brewing a turmoil in private.

At this moment, in the secret room of Li Shi's former minister, Shang Shu's servant shooting the king's oath mansion, Zhendong General Deng Ding, Pingnan General Wang Run, and General Kui Wen were planning a rebellion.

Deng Ding looked at Wang Oath and said softly: "Lord Wang, the Jin army broke through Chengdu, although we are still in the original position, but we are under the fence, especially that Deng Yue, as soon as he entered Chengdu, he arranged all the powers in the city as his own cronies, although we are called generals, but like lost dogs, in the city can only see the faces of the generals of the Jin army, what a great shame!" ”

"Yes! Lord Wang, the Jin army will only believe in his cronies, as an old minister of the Han Dynasty, we will definitely be excluded, it has only been less than half a month, and our real power has been completely hollowed out, what kind of treatment will be received in the future, it is really hard to say! Wang Run, the general of Pingnan, continued.

Kui Wen was even more angry and smashed the case in front of him, and said loudly: "It's hateful, we are Hanchen, why do we bend our knees to join the Jin family, it's a big deal." ”

Seeing that the three generals were excited, Wang Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said softly: "Generals, now, the Jin army has tens of thousands of troops gathered in Chengdu, we are short of troops, how to rebel, generals, don't be rash!" ”

"Hmph, do we wait, we deserve to grovel, I can't be angry by this nest, if I don't give the Jin army a little color, they really think that there is no one in Shu." Kui Wen is still excited.

"General Kui Wen, don't get excited, the old man has suffered more grievances than you, but right now, the Jin army has a strong army, just the four of us, the soldiers are small and the food is scarce, what can we take to rebel against the Jin army, isn't this in vain?"

When Deng Ding heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Lord Wang doesn't have to worry, the last general does not have many soldiers and horses in his hands at the moment, but as long as the last general is allowed to go to Jianwei County, within three months, he can raise 20,000 troops." ”

"Lord Wang, I will return to Hanjia County in the end, and I can also raise more than 10,000 troops." Wang Run said.

"The last general will go to Wenshan County, and it will not be a problem to raise more than 10,000 troops." Kui Wen patted his chest and said loudly.

Seeing that the three generals in front of him could raise forty or fifty thousand troops within three months, Wang Wei showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the three of them, and said softly: "If this is the case, it would be great, Huan Wen and Deng Yue's soldiers and horses will have to evacuate Shuzhong sooner or later, at most, they will give the newly appointed Yizhou Assassin Shi Zhou Fu, leaving more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if the three generals can raise forty or fifty thousand troops, then the big thing can be decided." After speaking, he looked at the three generals excitedly.

"Lord Wang, if I wait to take Chengdu in the future, I should elect the Lord as the emperor, please don't resign." Deng Ding looked at Wang and swore an oath.

"That's right, we are waiting to elect the lord to be the emperor, as long as our monarchs and ministers are united and hold the Shuzhong Pass, it will be difficult for the Jin army to attack Shuzhong again." Wang Run said loudly.

"The last general, Kui Wen, fully supports the lord to become the emperor." Kui Wen also spoke in support.

Seeing that the three generals in front of him supported him to claim the emperor, Wang Ao's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Three generals, this matter must not be, absolutely not!" The king swears that how can he dare to be called the emperor, and the people in Shu will not support it. ”

"Lord Wang, we rebelled against the Jin family, we can't be leaderless! There must be a virtuous and respected person to be the emperor to win the hearts of the people! Who else but adults can do this? Deng Ding asked suspiciously.

Wang Xuan frowned, and said softly: "The emperor is virtuous, so that the people can return to their hearts, the reason why my Han was attacked by the Jin army is not because the emperor is mediocre?" Therefore, for the sake of the great cause, we must nominate a virtuous person who is highly respected in the hearts of the people as the emperor, so that the great things can be successful. ”

"Oh, so you already have a suitable candidate in your heart." Deng Ding said softly.

Wang Wei nodded, looked at the three generals in front of him, and said: "Fan Ben, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, is the son of the former prime minister Fan Changsheng, who is erudite and well-read, has an excellent reputation, and is deeply respected by the people of Shu. ”

After listening to the analysis of the king's oath, the three generals all nodded approvingly, and Kui Wen even said, "Okay, just listen to your lordship, the last general will go to Prime Minister Fan's mansion tomorrow to inform him of this." ”

"Absolutely not, this matter is top secret, and the slightest rumor must not be leaked to prevent the East Window incident." Wang Yu hurriedly stopped.

"Lord Wang, how can we not inform you in advance if we nominate Prime Minister Fan Cheng as the emperor, what if he does not agree to be the emperor on the day of the army." Kui Wen asked suspiciously.

Wang Xuan sneered at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "When the time comes, the military power will be in the hands of the generals, Fan Ben doesn't want to be the emperor, so I will tie him to the dragon chair and force him to be the emperor." After speaking, he looked meaningfully at the three generals in front of him.

Deng Ding and the others are all smart people, and they understood the meaning of the king's oath at a glance, that is, to treat Fan Ben as a puppet and be controlled by himself.

"Lord Wang's high opinion, I admire it." Deng Ding and the others clasped their fists and bowed to the king.

Wang Wei nodded, and said softly: "Generals, this matter is top secret, we must not leak the news, after Huan Wen and Deng Yue leave Shuzhong, we will take action later." ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll take my leave first." Deng Ding and the others clenched their fists and left the mansion of Wang Oath respectively.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhuge Qi led a thousand Wudang Flying Army under his command to the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army, but found that the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army was empty, only 1,000 men and horses in the baggage camp.

Zhuge Qi, who was full of doubts in his heart, hurriedly rushed into the camp of the Northern Expeditionary Army and met more than a dozen personal soldiers left by Hua'an in advance.

"How many of you, General Hua and the main army? Not at all. Zhuge Qi looked at Hua'an's personal soldiers and asked loudly.

"The military situation in Fucheng is urgent, early yesterday morning, General Hua led the main force to gallop to Fucheng in the starry night, and deliberately left a few of us to wait for the Zhuge camp master, and let the Zhuge camp master protect the baggage camp, and then march to Fucheng." A pro-soldier replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Zhuge Qi nodded, and walked towards the direction of the baggage camp, because Hua'an had already given the order, so the soldiers of the baggage battalion knew that Zhuge Qi's Wudang Flying Army was his own people, so there was no hindrance to Zhuge Qi's behavior.

Zhuge Qi went to Li Qinglian's big tent, saw Li Qinglian who had already prepared his suit, and carefully read the handwritten letter written by Hua'an, and then, according to Hua'an's requirements, led the Wudang Flying Army and the baggage battalion, a total of 2,000 men and horses, and slowly marched in the direction of Fucheng.
