Chapter 245, Convergence, The Old Department of Shu
Although Chu Yunxi sent a flock of crows to clean up the remnants of the Shu Kingdom, it actually didn't have much gain, because at this time, most of the people who were lurking in the capital of the Shu Kingdom had left the city and converged in one direction!
In a valley three hundred miles outside the city of Yedu, an old man came here with dozens of people, and then, there were people who came one after another, and in a short time, hundreds of people had gathered in the entire valley, among these people, most of them were middle-aged and some old people, and there were very few young people!
With the arrival of a carriage, the Lord of the Ink Pavilion has also arrived!
"Big brother!" After seeing the old man, the Lord of the Ink Pavilion walked to his side!
"Xiao Yun, you're here!" When the old man saw Jiang Yun, the master of the Ink Pavilion, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that this sister would suddenly change her mind and stay in Yedu!
"A few generals, let's see if everyone is here!" At this time, the old man opened his mouth and looked around, the nine of them had already arrived, and as for those under their respective hands, they still needed to check the number of people!
"I've got twenty less people here!" At this time, an old man surnamed Wu spoke, he was one of these people who was responsible for intelligence!
"Five of my men didn't come with me!" An old woman said!
"Ten of my men didn't follow!" An old man who was also the same age said!
"My Moxiang Pavilion counter gentleman Zixiang and his brother didn't come, and the two of them chose to stay in Yedu!" Jiang Yun also spoke!
Then, a few more old men spoke, and among the subordinates they led, there were more or less people who didn't come!
"Those subordinates who didn't come, we don't have to worry about it, now Chu Yunxi must have noticed our movements, if any of those people left behind are caught, we will be in danger, so, now, let's get out of here quickly!" After the old man finished speaking, he beckoned the others and walked out of this valley together!
Nearly 500 or so people from the old department of Shu went towards the border of Western Chu, although their number was small, but all of them had good skills!
Ye Du, Chu Yunxi, who was in the shogunate, listened to the report from his hands, and then waved his hand to let him go down!
"The movements of these remnants of Shu are really fast!" Chu Yunxi poured himself a cup of tea, and then lay down on the chair! Although the crow flock did not gain much this time, fortunately, the remnants of the Shu Kingdom withdrew from Yedu, which was equivalent to one less big trouble for Chu Yunxi!
"Four Princes!" Just then, Twenty walked in with a bow and arrows on his back!
"Twenty, what's the matter with you!" Chu Yunxi looked at him!
"Fourth prince, I don't think you can guess that Moxiang Pavilion is also a hiding place for the remnants of the Shu Kingdom!" After twenty words were finished, Chu Yunxi sat up!
Moxiang Pavilion, he also knows, after all, he has been there before, and the reputation of the Lord of Moge is also famous in Yedu, but he didn't expect that she is also a remnant of Shu Kingdom!
"Has the Ink Pavilion Lord been caught?" Chu Yunxi asked!
"Not really!" Twenty shook his head and said, "When I go to the Moxiang Pavilion, it has already turned to ashes!" After listening to the words of the twenty, Chu Yunxi secretly said that it was a pity, if the Mo Pavilion Master was caught, he would definitely be able to know something!
"Forget it, just run!" Chu Yunxi didn't think about it, and then he said to Twenty: "You take your subordinates to continue to investigate the remnants of Shu in the city for the next few days, and see if there are any omissions!"
"Yes!" After twenty was finished, he went down!
At night, in front of the house where the shogunate Chu Yunxi lived, a figure fell, and after this person came in, he knelt directly in front of Chu Yunxi and said, "I've seen the four princes!"
"It's Yun Che, hurry up!" When Chu Yunxi saw someone coming, he hurriedly helped him up!
Since he returned to Yedu, this is the first time he has seen Yun Che, originally Yun Che was going to come to see him when he just came back, but he was stopped by Chu Yunxi, Chu Yunxi ordered him to remain normal, don't act in vain, and he will be notified when he needs to see him, tonight, Yun Che received the news from Chu Yunxi, so he came secretly!
"Yun Che, how have you done in the time I have been away!" Chu Yunxi asked!
"Fourth prince, live up to expectations, I have visited all the people you asked me to contact, and some of these wavering ministers, I have also used means to make them honest, as long as you open your mouth, they will come forward to support you!" After listening to Yun Che's words, Chu Yunxi poured him a cup of tea and said, "Good job!"
"Thank you for the praise of the four princes!" Yun Che took the tea and drank it all!
"Yun Che, in the days to come, you still have to maintain your own responsibility, continue to win over the ministers, don't have too much contact with me, and when you need to, I will inform you like today!" After Chu Yunxi's words were finished, Yun Che nodded in agreement!
"By the way, did No. 1 send back any news!" Chu Yunxi asked!
"Not really!" Yun Che answered!
Since the last time No. 1 went out of the city, it was as if he had disappeared, and there was no news back, and after Chu Yunxi returned to Yedu, he also sent people to the border city to investigate, but he still couldn't find No. 1, Chu Yunxi has always been worried about this!
"Fourth prince, then I'll go down first!" Seeing Chu Yunxi thinking about things, Yun Che opened his mouth to say goodbye!
"Hmm!" Chu Yunxi nodded, and after Yun Che left, he lay back in his chair, thinking in his mind why No. 1 hadn't sent back the news!
Caiyang City, Zhuyang City, Yongyang City, these three cities are on the southwest border of Western Chu, the three cities are in a triangular confrontation, facing the territory of Western Chu, backed by the mountains, because of the location limitations, so these three cities have not been concerned by Western Chu!
Now, under the leadership of the old man, the people of Shu are coming towards these three cities!
Zhuyang City is the largest of the three cities, and Fang Shengda, the defender of Zhuyang City, was once a general in the Shu Kingdom, because the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, so he took refuge in Xichu, because of its background, it was not taken seriously, and he was once assigned to be stationed here!
Over the years, Fang Shengda has long been disgusted with Western Chu, he secretly recruited the old department of Shu, and secretly killed the generals of Caiyang City and Yongyang City, and replaced them with his own people, because this place is remote, so Western Chu has not known, just like this, slowly, Fang Shengda controlled these three cities, and recruited a lot of old departments of Shu!
And the old ministers of Xishu in Yedu also learned about the situation here by accident, so they took the initiative to contact Fang Shengda, and when Fang Shengda learned about the people lurking in Yedu, he also took the initiative to reply, and in this way, the two sides reached a contact!
This time, Chu Yunxi returned to Yedu and investigated the old department of Shu Kingdom, so they had no choice but to contact Fang Shengda again, hoping to take refuge here, and Fang Shengda also happily agreed!
"Big brother, we are in Zhuyang City ahead, why haven't we seen anyone come to meet us!" Jiang Yun said to the old man on the side, she was still a little worried about this Fang Shengda in her heart, after all, the Shu Kingdom had been destroyed for many years, and her former colleagues might not be able to rely on it!
"Isn't that coming!" The old man spoke, and then Jiang Yun looked ahead, only to see that in front of them, smoke and dust were billowing out, and a cavalry was coming here!
"Jiang Hai is here!" When this cavalry arrived in front of everyone, the leading general said to everyone, and when he opened his mouth, everyone's faces were not good-looking, especially those old men!
"Jiang Hai, these two words are also what you can call!" Jiang Yun's voice was cold, and at this time, the old man patted her shoulder and stood up and said, "The old man is Jiang Hai!"
"Aofeng~ I've seen Lord Jiang Hai!" Seeing the old man stand up, the leading general dismounted directly and knelt in front of the old man!
"Don't be polite, Fang Shengda asked you to come!" The old man, that is, Jiang Haidao!
"Back to Lord Jiang, it was General Fang who asked me to greet you, please!" Aofeng said, turned around and stretched out his hand!
"Let's go!" Jiang Hai said, leading everyone towards the front, and that Aofeng led his subordinates to lead the way in front!
Since this arrogant wind came, Jiang Yun felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this guy seemed to have no one in his eyes as soon as he came, although he knelt down and saluted his eldest brother, respectfully, but Jiang Yun could see that there was no respect in his eyes!
"Big brother, are we taking the right step this step!" Jiang Yun looked at the back of her eldest brother and said secretly in her heart!
It didn't take long for Jiang Yun and Jiang Hai to lead everyone to Zhuyang City, and at the gate of Zhuyang City, a man with a knife was already waiting here!
"Fang Shengda, I've seen Lord Jiang Hai and my colleagues!" After everyone came to the city, this person walked in front of Jiang Hai with a smile on his face, and with his eyesight, he could still recognize who the leader here was!
"General Fang, thank you this time!" Jiang Hai looked at Fang Shengda, and then at this Zhuyang City, his heart was finally a little more steady, and the old men behind him also had the same thoughts!
"Lord Jiang Hai, where did you say, you and I are both former ministers of the Shu Kingdom, and we are all in the same spirit!" Fang Shengda said, please Jiang Hai into the city!
After everyone followed Fang Shengda into the city, they were quickly arranged to live, and Jiang Hai was also invited to his house by Fang Shengda!
"Lord Jiang Hai, you have been lurking in Yedu for so many years, you have worked hard!" Fang Shengda personally poured tea for Jiang Hai!
"General Fang, in order to restore the country, what is all this hard work!" Jiang Haidao!
"Yes, what Lord Jiang Hai said is very true!" Fang Shengda smiled and drank tea with Jiang Hai!
"General Fang, how did you control the city of Western Chu!" Jiang Hai looked at Fang Shengda and asked!
"Lord Jiang Hai, that's the case, I was assigned here back then......" Then, Fang Shengda said how he got here, how he controlled Zhuyang City, and how he recruited a large number of old departments of Shu to get to this point!
"General Fang, now that you are in control of the three surrounding cities, how many soldiers and horses do you have!" Jiang Hai said after listening to Fang Shengda's narration!
"Don't hide it from Lord Jiang Hai, now I have soldiers and horses under my command, and I have this number!" As he spoke, Fang Shengda raised a hand and flipped it back and forth!
"One hundred thousand?" Jiang Hai's eyes showed surprise!
"Not bad!" Fang Shengda said proudly: "Among them, half of my old department of Shu is accounted for, and the rest of the soldiers are also under my dispatch!" Listening to Fang Shengda's words, Jiang Hai was puzzled, but this Zhuyang City didn't look like there were so many soldiers and horses!
"Lord Jiang Hai, these are all confusing Xichu, and the two cities facing the mountains behind them are the real places to garrison troops!" Fang Shengda said with a smile!
"Admire, admire!" After Jiang Hai's words were finished, Fang Shengda laughed wildly again!
