Badi.

The mountains are blocked, and the mountain roads spread.

Dickson walked on the mountain road, and the entrance was the slightly humble outline of the cottage. Along the way, on both sides of the road, there are many old acquaintances.

These familiar and unfamiliar faces looked at Dickson with a look of wariness and hostility.

The person who led the way, Di Sheng, was familiar, he was Rong Can's lieutenant general. Dickson and Rong Can, including the lieutenant generals around him, have all gone into battle together to kill the enemy, and have also drunk wine at the same table.

But since he saw Dickson, he didn't say a word superfluously, just walked forward, as if behind him was just a stranger.

The cottage was built on the slope of the mountain, and it was no longer simple to describe, just a few leaky houses, and simply poured some hay. As the leader of the cottage, that is, the place where Rong Chan lived, it seems to be a temple built by the locals.

Di Sheng walked in, and there were no statues of gods or other gods in the temple, and there was only an earthen platform empty.

Rong Can stood in front of the earthen platform, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he was no longer the Liang general in Di Sheng's impression.

Today's Rong Can is dressed in brown clothes and has no armor, he seems to have lost weight several times, the whole person looks very strong, his skin is rough and dark, and his face is still heroic, but he is not as strong as in the past.

"Brother He Fang, I came today to seal the prime minister's order and want to surrender you."

Rong Can looked at Di Sheng, and a chuckle welled up on his expressionless face.

"That's all you want to tell me?"

"Brother He Fang, in this land of poor mountains and bad waters, you lack food and clothing. Just ask, how long can it last? Even if you Ronghe can hold on, are you willing to die here? ”

"Enough!"

A burst of anger appeared on Rong Can's face, and he shouted.

"The reason why I want to see you is not because I want to hear these words of persuasion. It was because of you that General Huan Biao died tragically at the hands of the rebels, and our army suffered a heavy defeat. Do you really have nothing to say to your dead brothers? ”

Rong Can was very excited, but Di Sheng was very calm, as calm as a sculpture.

"The two armies are at war, and your lords have their own destiny in life and death."

"Hahahaha!"

Rong Chan laughed loudly, pulled out the saber at his waist, and pointed it at Dickson.

"Good one, my lords. Jiang Zhou, Fang Pei and others were originally generals, and they had nothing to say if they wanted to betray me. But what about you? You were assigned by the lord and promoted from a small soldier to a general, but it only took ten years. Devenxiu, what qualifications do you have to say this? ”

Facing Rong Can's long blade, Di Sheng was not surprised that the next moment he would swing his knife and cut off his head. But instead of fear, he took two steps forward.

"Huan Wu is not thin on me, but in the past ten years, I have fought for him, and I have fought more than 20 battles. In every battle, I did not avoid the sword and arrow, but charged forward, pulled out sixteen cities, and wounded forty-three places. After I was captured by the Shu army, I was imprisoned in Baocheng Pass. Huan Biao didn't say it was a rescue, I'm afraid he never thought of me. If the Lord is unkind, how can the minister be loyal? I have already paid back what I should have returned, so why not vote for him after that? ”

Di Sheng is righteous in his words. Listening to his words, Rong Can's killing intent was much lighter, and the blade was not as cold as before.

"Brother He Fang. The reason why I am willing to come is not to make meritorious contributions. Huan Wu burned the plank road and led the army back to the north, making it clear that he had regarded you as an outcast. I just looked, and I'm afraid there are 10,000 people near your camp. It is not easy to take these 10,000 people to break a way out of this Ba land. You and I both started as small soldiers and rose to the position of generals today, so we should know that good birds choose trees to perch. Huan Wu has abandoned you, and if you vote for his lord again, you will not be considered a traitor. ”

"Enough!"

Rong Can let out a loud shout and interrupted Dickson's words.

"I remember the grace of your sacrifice for me that day, and I will not kill you today. Tell Yang Xian that I, Rongcan and thousands of brothers, will not surrender to him even if they starve to death in this place. Let him die! ”

String City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Cai Tong and Hou Shen have raised troops to attack Liang?"

Yang Xian held the fan in his hand and listened to Yan Le's report, seemingly a little surprised.

As a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yang Xian's staff officer, just received the information, and Yan Le rushed over.

At this time, Yang Xian was accounting with others for the degree of application up and down the Shu Kingdom and arranging advances. Yan Le hurried over, and there was still a hint of red tide on his face.

This made his brother Yan Yi a little dissatisfied, after all, these big families pay attention to bearing. However, in front of Yang Xian, Yan Yi did not have the posture of an eldest brother.

"Yes! Just three days ago, the Wu army, which had just collected its troops, went north again. Under the leadership of Hou Shen, the lord of Wu, he went up along the Huaishui River and forced Xuzhou. The Wu army's advance was very fast, and the Liang army along the road could not organize some defenses at all. I'm afraid it won't be long before Hou Shen will be able to enter the territory of Xuzhou. ”

Yang Xian took the information in Yan Le's hand and took a look.

"Cai Tong and Hou Shen, these two guys are going to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

The Liang army was newly defeated and demoralized. The two armies of Wu and Chu went and returned, and they caught the Liang army by surprise, which was indeed unexpected.

"Looking at Hou Shen's troop arrangement, he is obviously serious, and he has the heart to swallow Xu in one fell swoop!"

"Prime Minister, Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for Huan Wu to let Xuzhou fall into the hands of Hou Shen."

Yan Yi gave up. Yang Xian nodded, looked at Yan Le, and asked, "What's going on in the Shendu?" ”

"Our spies came to report that since Huan Wu returned to Shendu, there has been news in the Lianghou Mansion that he is seriously ill and needs to recuperate. At present, the affairs of the imperial court are presided over by Huan Qi and Huan Yi. The affairs of the army are presided over by Huan Zhong, Huan Gong and six generals with foreign surnames of Liang Jun. ”

"Sick?" Yang Xian muttered slightly, "What is Huan Wu's idea to fight?" ”

"The minister is also a little strange, in response to the offensive of the Wu and Chu armies, the response of the Liang army is very conservative, just passively responding, it seems that overnight, it has changed. It is rumored that after the last defeat of the Liang army, the elite has been lost, and the morale has been lost, and the Central Plains is afraid that it will change hands. ”

When Yang Xian heard this, he was noncommittal.

"Huan Wu, this old guy, is not so easy to fall. Cai Tong and Hou Shen, Liang Jun bargained a lot from me when he was in Shu. This time, let them go to the bottom of Huan Wu! ”

Yang Xian gathered all the documents in his hand and said, "In this way, the use of Yizhou will be arranged like this!" ”

Yan Yi stood up, his face a little hesitant.

"Prime Minister, the use of the palace has always been separated from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, for the sake of the army and local water conservancy and agricultural expenses, will it be inappropriate to reduce the use of the palace? ”

"The state affairs are difficult, and the king, as the lord of Shu, how can he not know that Yizhou is tired now? When this is critical, the king is the time to set an example. ”

Yang Xian waved his hand and said a little carelessly.
