Zhang Lang frowned tightly and muttered, "When the soldiers are used, they feel less." Grandma's, if only there were hundreds of thousands of troops! However, Zhang Lang knew that this was impossible, that is, the size of the army was now beyond the limit of financial capacity, so that Zhang Lang had to take the knife against those scholars who had a lot of money and food. Although this made Zhang Lang have no money and food in the short term, it completely pushed Zhang Lang to the opposite side of the Shi clan. For example, today's scholars have slandered Zhang Lang, saying that he is the No. 1 thief in the past, and he is obscene and cruel, even worse than Dong Zhuo, three meals a day in the morning, noon and dinner, no one likes it, and it is important to kill two concubines every night before stopping. The legendary Zhang Lang is simply not a human being, but a monster from another world! It is said that in some places, children stopped crying when they heard Zhang Lang's name.

Chengdu, tonight, the Xue family's lanterns are hung high, a festive atmosphere, and clusters of guests come to the hall to congratulate the host's 60th birthday. It turned out that today was the day of the 60th birthday of Xue Fangyuan, the head of the Xue family, no wonder the Xue family was so lively. Xue Fangyuan, the head of the Xue family, this Xue family is the second largest scholar family in the entire Xichuan, second only to the Zhang family that has been confiscated. Before, the apportionment sent by Zhang Lang, the Zhang family was spread with 100,000 loads of grain and grass, and a huge amount of 50 million yuan of grain, the Zhang family felt distressed in their hearts, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they had to take it out.

Xue Fangyuan and the guests drank and served in the hall. Xue Fangyuan got up to confess and left through the side door. At the same time, several guests also left one after another.

The backyard study is exceptionally quiet, as if two worlds are like two worlds compared to the hustle and bustle of the front yard. Xue Fangyuan stood behind the bookcase, his hands behind his back to the door. Several old friends came in one after another, clasped their fists and said, "Brother Xue." ”

Xue Fangyuan turned around and asked everyone to sit down, and he sat down himself.

Everyone sat down, Xue Fangyuan sighed and said, "Now in this world, a few of our old guys have to be so sneaky if they want to talk!" ”

The burly old man with a short jaw at the head of the left scolded: "Lu Bu, this thief embryo, has made us so hard!" "This burly old man's name is Fang Shicheng, the contemporary head of the Fang family of the Xichuan Dashi clan, if you think he is a rude person with a tendon, then you have been deceived by him. This guy looks rude on the outside, but he is actually very deceitful.

The white-clothed scribe-looking old man under him frowned slightly and said, "Our major scholars in Xichuan have not been born in peace since they beat him Lu Bu and entered the main Sichuan!" It is reported that more than 200,000 troops in the northern corridor have surrounded Hanzhong City, and the army of Wucheng Hou on the southern front has also broken the Kuimen, and Huang Zhong and the barbarian army have been defeated! This Sichuan is now empty, and as long as there is no accident, Wucheng Hou will definitely be able to attack Sichuan! "This person's name is Xiao Mingyang, the head of the Xichuan Dashi family, and he is also a famous Confucian scholar, and he is very famous.

The old man with a sad face on the other side frowned and said: "The shape of the last time was also very good, Zhang Shiheng and the others thought that the overall situation had been decided, so they took action, but they ended up with a family raid and extermination." I think we should be cautious. Don't rush it. "This old man's name is Xiang Ting, and he is also the head of the local Dashi clan, and he is cautious.

Xue Fangyuan nodded, "What Brother Xiang said is extremely true. To do something extraordinary, you must be cautious. Then he smiled and said, "There is a distinguished guest, I think you also want to see it." ”

Everyone was curious.

Xue Fangyuan clapped his hands, and a body scribe immediately walked in at the door. Wearing a scarf, a black Confucian shirt, three strands of long hair under the chin, a face like a crown of jade, an elegant temperament, although young, but old-fashioned. The scribe bowed to the crowd: "I have seen all the gentlemen in Xia Lusu. ”

Everyone was shocked, and Xiao Mingyang asked in disbelief: "You are Lu Zijing, who is as famous as Zhou Lang?" ”

Lu Su smiled and said: "Gong Jin is extremely talented, like a nine-day phoenix, how dare he compare with Gong Jin if he is no more than a jackdaw?" ”

Everyone hurriedly asked Lu Su to take a seat, Lu Su represented Sun Jian, and did not postpone, to sit down at the top, Xue Fangyuan, who was originally sitting at the top, turned to the right head, and Xiang Ting, who was originally sitting at the right head, sat down at the bottom Lu Su smiled and said: "You are all from the Xichuan clan, but with the current form, given the time, I am afraid that you will not be able to die well!" Maybe the net worth can be hugged with a fist, but the family business accumulated over the years is afraid that it will no longer exist! ”

The crowd was worried. Xiang Ting hugged his fists and said: "It's not a secret, but we have the intention of cooperating with Wuchenghou, but in view of Zhang Shiheng's previous lesson, we really don't dare to act rashly." The others nodded.

Lu Su smiled and said, "It's normal for you to have such doubts. You may not know much about the general trend of the world. "After a pause, "Now that the battle of Guandu has come to an end, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has already defeated Yuan Shao, I believe that it will not be long before Prime Minister Cao will be able to annex Yuan Shao's territory." Lu Bu's battle line was too long, and the Western Regions in the west and the Bingzhou in the north all restrained his energy, and now Lu Bu's main forces are all in Bingzhou, and he can't withdraw in a short time. As for Luoyang, the troops are already insufficient, and now that Prime Minister Cao Cheng has stretched out, Luoyang has to be on guard against Prime Minister Cao Cheng's troops all the time, where can he still send troops to reinforce other parties? Even if they can transfer troops, they are not afraid, our army's general Huang Gaizheng led the army to camp in Nanyang and wait, with Luoyang's troops, they can't ignore the threat of Prime Minister Cao Cheng in the east. ……”

When the people heard this, they could not help but have six points of faith in their hearts.

Lu Su continued: "As for Xichuan, hehe, I think you know the situation here better than me! ”

Xue Fangyuan said: "At present, there are no soldiers in Xichuan, only some city defense sergeants. If we launch it at this time, we have a 50% chance of winning. ”

Lu Su said: "Don't launch it in an all-round way, you must concentrate all your forces on one point." Chengdu is this key point, you all the forces are transferred to Chengdu, and then suddenly attack, there is a ninety percent chance of victory. As long as you control Chengdu, the front-line Lu Bu army will inevitably be in turmoil, and at that time, my lord and Gong Jin will be able to destroy the front-line Lu Bu army and enter Xichuan in one go, and the overall situation will be decided! ”

The crowd was excited, and their hearts were filled with nine points of faith.

Lu Su smiled and said: "Once the matter is completed, Marquis Wucheng is certainly the lord of Xichuan, but the affairs of Xichuan depend on everyone here. He immediately took out a document from his sleeve, stood up, and handed it to Xue Fangyuan. Xue Fangyuan took it and hurriedly opened it, looking at it, with a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel itchy, and Fang Shicheng couldn't help but ask, "What did Wu Chenghou say in the letter?" ”
