"My lord, Huo An and Mu Ke have captured the three counties of Nanzhong, Qin Liangyu captured Wu Han, and Wang Zhonghei delayed Wang Meng, and tied for the first credit."

Chutian led his troops to besiege Fuxian and confronted the defenders Meng Hui, Li Yan, Wu Yi and others.

Chu Tian was waiting for the other soldiers and horses to make progress.

Although Chu Tian only had less than 30,000 elites in his hands, as well as 20,000 or 30,000 low-level troops recruited in Yinping and Jiangyou, Chu Tian's team of strange soldiers who smuggled into Yinping contained at least 200,000 Shu troops, making it impossible for 200,000 Shu troops to support Nanzhong or Hanzhong.

Strategically, Chutian's goal has been achieved, and it depends on whether the soldiers and horses attacking Hanzhong and Nanzhong can make progress.

Huo An and Mu Ke, who were transferred to Nanzhong for thousands of miles, did not live up to Chutian's trust and successfully captured the three counties of Nanzhong.

Himiko continued to read the information from Nanchu: "In addition, Huo An and Mu Ke hope that they can send a team of soldiers and horses to support Yongchang County and repel the Mangying Dragon King of Donghu Kingdom in addition to marching into Chengdu. ”

"The Reckless ...... of Donghu Province"

When Chu Tian learned of Huo An and Mu Ke's request, he was also in a dilemma.

The three counties in the south and central were merged into Chutian's power map, so Chutian could call on the 200,000 troops currently led by Huo An and Mu Ke to attack Chengdu.

As long as Chengdu is captured, Liu Bei's forces may collapse.

The country of abundance is the reliance of Liu Bei's forces, without the tens of millions of people in the Chengdu Plain, with the millions of people in Hanzhong, even if there is a danger of the Qinling Mountains, it will not be able to compete with Chutian.

Population is too important.

At that time, Liu Bei estimated that he could only surrender like Zhang Lu.

The evaluation of Zhang Lu in history is not high, but Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong, served as the emperor of the soil for decades, and was treated leniently after surrendering to Cao Cao, and was honored as a marquis, and he had no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and lived a more upside-down than the first half of his life.

Huo An and Mu Ke divided their troops to attack the king of Mang Yinglong in Donghu, so the troops used to attack Chengdu would definitely be reduced.

However, Yongchang County, as the territory of the Han Empire, was besieged by the Donghu Kingdom, and repeatedly asked Yizhou for help, and if Yongchang County was not saved, it might chill the people of Yongchang County.

Mang Yinglong's attack on the Donghu Kingdom more or less angered Chu Tian.

"Ahem."

A counsellor coughed softly outside the camp.

Chu Tian could hear that this was the coughing sound of the military advisor Jia Xu.

Jia Xu's trait "Chaotic Force" can provide a support aura for military advisors: randomly reduces the enemy's defense by 1%-15%, which is sometimes more practical when facing famous generals who are good at defense.

"Come in."

After getting Chu Tian's permission, Jia Xu entered the tent.

Jia Xu was good at protecting himself, and after coming in, he first observed Chu Tian and Himiko's expressions to make sure that he didn't disturb their good deeds.

"What's the matter with the military advisor?"

"There is a person who would like to be introduced to the lord."

"Who?"

"Zhang Song's doorman."

"Zhang Song?"

Even a person like Chu Tian, who had seen the great world, was surprised by this.

Zhang Song, a famous Erwuzai in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

instigated Liu Bei to enter Shu and replace Liu Zhang, and Zhang Song was the mastermind.

Chutian attacked Shu on the fifth route, and the soldiers and horses on the fourth route, Huo An and Mu Ke took the three counties of Nanzhong and threatened Chengdu City from the south, and the Shu family was all alarmed.

At this time, Zhang Song, a famous Erwuzai, sent a guest to visit him, and Chutian didn't need to think about it to know what was going on.

"Bring him to me."

Clearly, if you can use Zhang Song to easily win Chengdu, it will be a good deal.

Soon, Zhang Song's doorman was brought in by the Tiger Guards.

"Why did your master order you to come to this king?"

Chu Tian sat on the main seat with a lofty attitude.

Zhang Song's doorman trembled.

In the eyes of the Shu family, Chu Tian swept across the Central Plains, and the soldiers were divided into five ways to attack Shu, more like the Great Demon King than Dong Zhuo in the past, and many of the soldiers in Shu had been killed.

Zhang Song's doorman trembled: "Our master wants to make an agreement with His Royal Highness King Xia for three chapters to end the troubled times in the world. If His Royal Highness King Xia can agree, our master can try to open the gate of Chengdu and receive the king. ”

"Oh? Interesting, you can mention it. ”

"First, after the Xia army enters Chengdu City, it is not allowed to kill, it is not allowed to disturb the residents, especially not to disturb the family, and it is not to kill the generals."

"Second, all the Shu families are still reinstated, and the affairs of Yizhou are still presided over by the local family, and the Yizhou Thorn History and the Shu County Taishou must come from the Yizhou family."

"Third, if this matter is successful, my master hopes that in the future, he can be ranked as the third duke and be named the Marquis of Chengdu."

Zhang Songmen cautiously put forward the three conditions of the three chapters of the covenant, and also carefully and secretly observed the changes in Chu Tian's expression.

Chu Tian's brows furrowed slightly, Jia Xu was also thoughtful, and even Himiko, the queen of the Yamatai Kingdom, saw Zhang Song's thoughts.

Zhang Song's three chapters of the law, it seems that he is the only one in Chengdu City, but in fact, Zhang Song represents the interests of the Shudi surrender faction.

Otherwise, Zhang Song would not have specifically proposed to protect the interests of the Shu family in the three chapters of the law.

The local family even hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to control the position of Yizhou Thorn Shi and Shu County Taishou.

The status of Yizhou Thorn History is important, needless to say, and Shu County is the most important county in Yizhou, and the position of Shu County Taishou is also quite important.

"The world's assassin history, Taishou, and county orders are all directly ordered by the imperial court, and I have never heard that the family can decide the candidates for the assassination history and Taishou. Zhang Song: Does this regard this king as a dull person? Now the three counties in the south are owned by the king, and the soldiers are in Chengdu, but it has been a year and a half! If the Shudi family has such an attitude, then all the families will have to pay the price for taking Chengdu! ”

Chu Tian's voice was fierce, and the doorman sent by Zhang Song was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please let His Royal Highness King Xia calm his anger, if His Royal Highness is dissatisfied, you can talk about it, you can talk about it......"

Only then did Chu Tian calm down.

When negotiating, we must maintain a tough attitude, otherwise Zhang Song will kick his nose in the face.

"What is Zhang Song's bottom line?"

"This ...... After King Xia sits on the land of Shu, he will not blame the officials and generals of Shu in the past...... And our master, as one of the three dukes, as for the Chengdu Marquis...... Look at the meaning of the Xia King and the imperial court......"

After Chu Tian got angry, the doorman sent by Zhang Song was intimidated by Chu Tian's momentum and hurriedly put Zhang Song's bottom line out.

The bottom line of the Shudi family is to keep the existing interests.

And Zhang Song pursues personal interests, hoping to be ranked among the three dukes.

Liu Bei is currently only the king of Hanzhong, and he cannot canonize the three dukes, and Chutian controls the imperial court, but he can satisfy Zhang Song's desire to be the third duke.

Zhang Songmen was very nervous, for fear that Chu Tian would ask him to take another step back.

"Yes."

Out of the surprise of the doorman, Chu Tian did not continue to lower Zhang Song's asking price, but easily agreed to Zhang Song's request and a group of Shu families represented by Zhang Song.

Qinling and Shu Dao really delayed Chu Tian's time and energy too much.

When Chu Tian entered the year of establishment, he realized that his personal energy was limited, and when the time was right, he would make concessions to obtain benefits.

Yizhou has a high degree of recognition of Huaxia, and it does not have to be like dealing with the tribes of the grassland, and must fight until obedience.

As long as the Yizhou family is obedient and obedient, Chu Tian has no intention of using a knife against them for the time being.

The Han Empire experienced more than ten years of turmoil, and it was time for reunification.

Chutian was already speeding up the process of unifying the Han Empire.

"Your Highness Xie, Your Highness Xie! Let's go back to my life! ”

Seeing that Chutian finally agreed to the three chapters of the law, Zhang Songmen kowtowed again and again, and happily went back to his master Zhang Song to return his life.

Jia Xu watched this doorman leave, and said to Chu Tian: "The lord really wants Zhang Song to be one of the three princes?" Zhang Song's talent is mediocre, if he is the third prince, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

Jia Xu's worries are unreasonable.

Chutian's forces are not only fierce generals, but also countless Wenchen, and the competition is quite fierce.

Even Jia Xu didn't think he was qualified to serve as the third duke.

Fang Xuanling, the oldest senior, supports the cool position in summer.

Li Kui, who is unknown, but like Xiao He supported Liu Bang, he was responsible for managing agriculture and providing grain and grass for Chutian's million-strong army.

Sun Bin has been taking refuge in Chutian for a longer time than Jia Xu, and he gives advice.

There are also celebrities like Xun Yu and Xun Yu from the Yingchuan family.

In addition, Sang Hong Yang, who is in charge of the economy, is as important as Li Kui, who is in charge of agriculture.

This is not counting ministers such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Qun, Li Si, and Gao Gong.

Cao Cao can also be used as a civil servant in the ruling world.

There is also Lu Su, who supported the daughter of the Sun family to ascend to the throne. Although Lu Su worked for Chutian, he still helped the Jiangdong Sun family in the dark, which has to be said to be fate.

Chu Tian said in a low tone: "After capturing Chengdu, find a reason to kill Zhang Song." In addition, let Huo An and Mu Ke divide their troops to save Yongchang County according to their intentions, and the Han Empire will fight for territory. ”
