Ba County.

At the end of April, a Qin army led by the Qin general Feng Xuan, after capturing Jiangzhou, sent troops to attack and occupy Yufu, an important waterway pass on the Yangtze River.

At this point, the Qin army completed the encirclement of the Han army in Shu County, except for the barren land inhabited by ethnic minorities in the southeast and west, in the north, east and southeast, the Qin army advanced from land and water, so that the Han army of Li Shang had no way to escape.

Shu County.

Afraid of one's own shadow.

Shu Xiangli Shang is in fear and anxiety, and he can't sleep these days.

This kind of high-intensity oppression is a great test of a person's endurance.

Looking at Fan Mu's somewhat decadent figure, Li Shang suddenly rushed to the bronze mirror in the room, carefully examining his appearance and expression.

"Am I old? How is it possible, in just one year, my Li Shang will not be old, and he will not be easily defeated, Li Yuan, there is a kind, come on! Li Shang looked like a crazy daxiao.

The road back to Kanto was blocked, the connection with Liu Bang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was cut off, and the pressure of fighting alone was like a mountain.

No matter how good Shu County is.

It's not a hometown, for Gaoyang people and businessmen, even if the mountains and rivers of Shu are beautiful, they are not as good as a lump in their hometown.

This is the real feeling of Li Shang.

Li Shang is like this, and the other generals and soldiers in the Han army are not like this, in the adversity of being a group of people who are thinking about returning and being embattled, Li Shang is becoming less and less confident in holding Shu County.

Let Fan Mu pretend to be the Qin army to plunder, this is not a dignified idea, and even once it spreads, it will have an adverse impact on the reputation of Liu Bang, the king of Han, but Li Shang can't care about it now.

It is a day to be able to keep it.

If you can drag the Qin army and don't attack, you can drag it.

In the face of the powerful oppression of the Qin army. Now, Li Shang has no hope that he can avenge his cousin Li Shiqi, and besides, in the Chengdu Plain, there is almost no danger to defend, and the only thing Li Shang can beg for is that the Qin army retreats because it is not easy to transport grain.

――。

In Ba County, Li Yuan continued to pay close attention to the seven surnamed Ba Qu Shuai, this time the Qin army entered Ba County, he surprisingly did not adopt a tough strategy. On the basis of an in-depth understanding of the history of the Ba people, he not only put forward the policy of reducing taxes and reducing forced labor, but also put forward the idea that the status of the Ba people was equal to that of the Qin people.

Since the day Ba County entered Qin, the Ba people have been a member of the Qin State and are the Qin people. On the basis of retaining the unique culture of the Ba people, you can enjoy the same preferential treatment of the Qin people in many aspects such as recommendation, teaching, and business.

Recommendation, that is, the Ba people have been recommended, they can also be like the Qin people. As a local official, if you are excellent in the future performance evaluation, you will also have the opportunity to serve as a central official in the Qin capital.

The teaching is to let the children of the Ba people go to school and become literate. The inheritance of culture needs generations of people of insight to add notes and records, after seeing the records of the secretary of the Qin army in charge of the bamboo slips one after another, the seven surnamed Qu Shuai has a strong interest in letting the young people in his clan read.

Business, as the name suggests. It's buying and selling. The area around Ba County is mountainous and watery, and other products are still secondary, but the boiled salt jishu here is at the leading level. However, there is a shortage of salt in the Guanzhong area, and there have always been merchants from Ba County who have taken the great risk of crossing the Qinling Mountains to engage in the business of selling salt privately. Now, Li Yuan has let the Ba people participate in it, which undoubtedly gives the Ba people a chance to strengthen the tribe.

The national question.

It is an important proposition to test whether a politician is excellent.

Kill to kill.

This is a move that only a brave and unscrupulous barbarian will do, Li Yuan adopted a strategy of expulsion and strong suppression against the Huns outside the Guanguan and the Zhuhu tribes in the north, but is Li Yuan a barbarian?

Apparently it can't be. If anyone really thinks so, I'm afraid that everyone will treat them like idiots, because if Li Yuan is unwise, then what kind of person is Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who have been repeatedly defeated by a barbarian?

All along, the Ba people who were suppressed and bullied did not expect that it was not the Han King Liu Bang who welcomed them and had a warm smile that saved them, but the Qin people who they regarded as a flood beast, or more precisely, the young and sincere Marquis of Qin in front of them.

People change.

Man is also one of the most fickle creatures.

In the face of interests, everything else is just empty words.

At a meeting of the various Qu Shuai of the Ba ethnic group, while the seven surnamed Qu Shuai were grateful to Li Yuan and Qin Jun, they also began to complain about Fan Mu, a once highly respected warrior.

"Fanmu, if you are not from my clan, he will see each other every day, and he will definitely seek justice." Among the seven surnames, the children surnamed Pu were taken the most by Fan Mu, and at this time, seeing that the Qin army did not commit any crimes in the autumn and autumn, and the main general was kind and pleasant, Pu Qushuai couldn't help but start to doubt Fan Mu's true intentions.

"The children of my clan, five hundred and sixty-seven people were taken away by Fan Muyu, the day before yesterday, three people fled back from the area of Shu County, according to them, the Han army in the area of Shu County is recruiting young and strong people everywhere to expand their strength, isn't this a mantis arm as a car, not self-measured, but it is a pity that the sons of my clan, how can we avoid the war." Lao Qu Shuai, surnamed Luo, also sighed and said helplessly.

At the beginning, when Fan Mu was ordered to persuade the Ba people to support Liu Bang, the king of Han, Luo Laoqushuai was dazzled for a while, listened to Fan Mu's words, and handed over a group of elite soldiers composed of sons and daughters to Fan Mu to command.

After a burst of boos, the old commanders finally realized that it was completely wrong to put force in the hands of Fan Mu, and then, they had lived most of their lives and took remedial measures......

At Li Yuan's suggestion and promotion, the seven surnamed Qu Shuai unanimously agreed to quickly set up a county army to maintain local law and order and arrest thieves, with Luo Qushuai's son Luo Xian as the commander to assist the Qin army in guarding various important towns in the Ba County area.

Luo Xian.

The name is the same as that of Yong'an Taishou of Shu Han in the late Three Kingdoms and the famous general Luo Xian, Li Yuan did not go to the research of whether Luo Xian and Pi Luo Xian are related, what he wants is Luo Xian's identity: Luo's surname is the son of Babe Daqu Shuai, which is enough.

Disintegrate the enemy.

The first thing to do is to start from the inside of the enemy.

Luo Xian is over forty years old, and he can only be regarded as mediocre in terms of ability, otherwise the best among the Ba people will not be a model other than the seven surnames, and Luo Laoqu Shuai is still quite pleased that his son can become a captain, and his own son is naturally clear about his ability.

However, it is one thing to be clear, and another to do it. At the recommendation meeting within the Ba clan, each person in the clan had one vote, Luo Xian's ability was insufficient, even if Lao Qu Shuai had a heart, he couldn't refute everyone, now it's okay, it was the Shenwu Marquis of Qin State who directly proposed that he took a fancy to Luo Xian's ability, even if there were different opinions in the clan, Lao Qu Shuai could use the power of the Qin army to smoothly suppress it.

Luo Qushuai's situation is like this, although some of the sons of Pu, Gong and other Qu Shuai are still minors, but there are also many younger brothers and relatives, after reporting to Li Yuan, without exception, they were all smoothly accepted, and served as the leaders of each small army, which made the seven surnamed Qu Shuai grateful to Li Yuan.

――。

At the same time that the Ba tribe Qu Shuai mentioned Fan Mu's hatred, the former Ba leader was bringing people to Langzhong.

According to Li Shang's plan, it is to ask Fan Mu to enter Ba County, pretending to be Qin Jun to loot some Ba villages, and then transfer the disaster to the Qin army, this plan is very vicious, if once implemented, as long as Fan Mu's people are not caught, Li Yuan wants to justify, it is really not easy.

It's a pity that Li Shang chose the wrong person this time.

Fan Mu is still a member of the Ba nationality after all, and it is true that he defected to Liu Bang and was willing to serve the Han army. But if he wants to break with the Ba people for a goal that no one is sure of, and become a killer hated by the Ba people, Fan Mu is not so mad. Therefore, after thinking about it, Fan Mu decided to sneak into Langzhong City and find an opportunity to assassinate Li Yuan.

As soon as Li Yuan died, the Qin State was in turmoil, and the Qin army would naturally retreat from Ba County, and when the time came, he would return to the Ba tribe in the name of recovering his homeland, that is, the great warrior among the Ba people.

What Fan Mu really wants is fame, power, and the worship of the Ba people.

Therefore, when he mastered the most powerful army of the Ba people, Fan Mu immediately took the soldiers away from the homeland of Ba County, and let these Ba warriors who were accustomed to crossing mountains and mountains come to the plains of the country of abundance and became a trump card under his hands.

Upstairs in Langzhong City.

A pitch-black and white flag of the Qin army sounded in the wind, with red hair and shawls, dressed as Ba people, accompanied by a few carefully selected Ba cronies and generals, ready to sneak into the city.

The city gate, not far away.

Fan Mu hid in a low bush, his face was gloomy and terrifying, looking at the past from a distance, a team of Qin soldiers and a team of county guards composed of Ba people were jointly inspected at the city gate, Qin soldiers were nothing, Fan Mu was not afraid, his current identity was a Ba hunter who came out of the mountains, and he was carrying wild things that came to the city in exchange for salt, but the team of Ba county soldiers made Fan Mu embarrassed.

"Qu Shuai, it's Luo Xian, what should I do?" A cronie nervously ran over, approached Fan Mu, and said in a low voice.

"Let's go! Wait for the evening to find a chance to enter the city. Fan Mu pondered for a while, stared hatefully at a strong man of the Ba tribe who was searching for people in the distance, and gritted his teeth and said.

Fan Mu was unwilling.

Langzhong is a familiar place for him, if Li Yuan can't be assassinated here, Fan Mu doesn't dare to imagine that if Li Yuan returns to Hanzhong or Guanzhong, what chance will he have. Seeing that the new Shili led by Luo Xian within the Ba tribe was rising, Fan Mu was even more anxious. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
