"Also, the intelligence network in the hands of the gentleman must quickly infiltrate the Chu State, and the current map in the Black Flag Army is not detailed enough, so you must send a large number of detailed workers to carefully survey and record all the roads, terrain, hydrology, villages and towns that the attack on Chu passes. At the same time, capable craftsmen were selected to make a reduced terrain with fine sand according to the recorded information, so as to prepare the Black Flag Army for a battle plan. He also ordered the detailed work in Shu to focus on collecting the movements of the Shu court after the secret envoys arrived in Chengdu. ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"Ma Xifan, the king of Chu, has been perverse in recent years, extravagant, the people pay heavy taxes, and the people are very dissatisfied.

"Yes."

"How's the Black Flag Army and the Armory Workshop doing?"

"Back to the lord, everything is going well in the armory workshop, and the craftsmen are very motivated to be rewarded, but the Black Flag Army has been talking about it recently."

"Oh? What discussions? ”

"The Black Flag Army has been expanded this time, and the four boxes have become ten boxes, except for the original four commanders, the remaining six commanders are all temporary, and they have not been officially appointed by the lord, so there is some discussion in the army."

"Regardless of it, this matter has its own arrangement. Let them hurry up and train that is. ”

"Yes. If the lord has nothing else to do, he will retire. ”

"Go ahead."

Baili Wuji didn't want to appoint the commander of the six compartments, but it was really difficult.

Gyeongju now has far exceeded the size of the army with the ten-compartment black flag army, and it is necessary to split and set up several armies, one is three armies, so that above the three armies, there must be military envoys or military commanders, and according to the system, military envoys and military commanders are generally concurrently served by the prince.

A military envoy appoints a military envoy, which is a bit of a county order appointing the state capital.

It is really unwise to provoke the suspicion of the surrounding forces for no reason.

The most important thing is that once the Black Flag Army has set up a military envoy, the old system of soldiers belonging to generals will be formed in the Black Flag Army, which contradicts the idea of Baili Wuji, which is that in addition to the permanent command envoy, all commanders and above military positions are all vacant, only in times of war, the appointment of commanders and commanders to dispatch various armies to fight, usually the Black Flag Army only set up commanders to carry out daily training and armament.

In this way, we can put an end to the stubborn disease of soldiers walking with their generals.

Xu Shiming, who had retreated, had been guessing in his heart what Baili Wuji had just said - the Southern Tang Dynasty...... No.

You can't call yourself a minister to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but you can call yourself a minister to the Shu State that just ceased war, in order to destroy Chu, but why not call the Southern Tang Dynasty, I think it should be to turn your face with the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future to avoid the name of rebellion, and turn your face with the Southern Tang Dynasty? He was canonized as the king of Chu by Shu, and then ...... Southern Tang, Southern Han? Or the Southern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty? Xu Shiming suddenly realized.

I see, this lord is preparing to reproduce the Three Kingdoms. Amazing, this lord's plan is so big, it is beyond Xu Shiming's imagination, and it also aroused Xu Shiming's curiosity, lord, do you really want to win the world?

Xu Shiming is worthy of being a wise man, and with a little guessing, he straightened out Baili Wuji's mind with a little guess.

……。

The seventh day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Jin Tianfu.

The secret envoy sent to Shu came back to restore his life.

Shu Emperor Meng Chang agreed to the annexation of Qingzhou, and agreed to listen to the Xuan not to listen to the tune, and canonized Baili Wuji as the king of Ningjiang and concurrently served as the envoy of the Qingzhou Festival, on the condition that Baili Wuji secretly went to the capital of Shu and personally accepted the canonization to show his sincerity, and the secret envoy also brought the customs clearance documents signed by the Shu Emperor himself.

That night, Baili Wuji convened Xu Shiming, Xu Shouren, Black Flag Jun Yunyang, Ma Jiyun and other four people to hold a meeting to discuss.

Yun Yang said: "The commander of the capital is concerned about the safety of Gyeongju, and he must not go to danger. ”

Ma Jiyun said: "Qingzhou was originally taken from Shu by the commander, and at this time, even if Emperor Shu does not pursue it, I am afraid that his subordinate ministers will also provoke trouble. ”

……。

There was a chorus of opposition.

Baili Wuji had no choice but to turn his head to look at Xu Shiming.

Xu Shiming was not stupid, and when he saw that he was looking forward to it, he got up and said, "I thought that the lord could go, and there was no danger." ”

Baili Wuji asked: "What is the basis for sir?" ”

Xu Shiming replied: "Imagine it, since the State of Shu has agreed to our request for annexation, and agreed to canonize the lord as the king of Ningjiang and concurrently serve as the envoy of the Gyeongju Festival, and even agreed to Gyeongju to listen to the Xuan or not, why?" This just shows that the emperor of Shu is very eager to recover his homeland. If there is no accident, it goes without saying that the lord is in danger this time, and he thinks that he should not even be surprised. What's more, the tens of thousands of troops of the Black Flag Army are hoarding troops in Zhongxian, such a deterrent, I think that Shu will not easily provoke the lord. However, it should be noted that after the lord arrived in Chengdu, he had to be careful that someone secretly slandered and provoked. ”

"Hmm. What Mr. said is very true, a certain idea has been decided, and he will set off for Shu tomorrow. After a certain left, the political affairs of Gyeongju were in charge of the affairs of Mr. Xu, and Xu Shouren was assisted. In the army, the horse commanded the commander and coordinated the training of armaments. The matter of going to Shu is only known to everyone here and must not be leaked. In addition, in his absence, Mr. made the sand table that he said a few days ago, and planned several plans with Yun, Ma and other four people. ”

"Zhengchu? ......Although Yun, Ma and the others knew that the war was about to start, it was the first time they heard a clear goal, and all four of them were excited.

Indeed, there is no one who is a general and is not happy to hear that the war is about to begin, unless he is a general or a bear general. After all, the merit of war comes from war. None of the famous players were born in the exercise.

"Yes. Zhengchu. You need to plan carefully. ”

"Yes." The generals responded in unison.

The eighth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Jin Tianfu.

Although everyone repeatedly persuaded Baili Wuji to bring more people.

But Baili Wuji only took Xu Shouren and eight guards to the west to Shu after the most unscrupulous.

Indeed, when entering Shu Kingdom, unless you bring the Black Flag Army, what is the use of bringing more people.

Baili Wuji and his entourage got on the boat from Zhongxian County and went all the way along the Yangtze River to the west.

The scenery along the way made Baili Wuji truly understand the pleasure of "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains".

Through Fuzhou, Chongqing to Luzhou.

Then take the overland route from Luzhou, Zizhou, and Jianzhou to Chengdu.

The roads along the way made Baili Wuji even more glad that he did not easily decide to cut down Shu.

"Oh, it's dangerous! The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky! Silkworms and fish, how dazed is the founding of the country! He is 48,000 years old, and he is not populated with Qinsai. Xidang Taibai has a bird road, which can cross the ...... of Emei peak. ”

Shu Road is difficult, it is indeed difficult.

No wonder Zhuge Kongming suggested that Liu Bei should occupy three parts of the world in Shu.

This husband is a pass, and the momentum is not open.

Baili Wuji sighed at the same time, the Shu emperors of the past dynasties did not want to forge ahead, and there was such a good geographical advantage, but no one unified the Central Plains, which was really a creation and a trick.
