Wang Du said in surprise, and even Wang Yan's eyes instantly brightened, and he glanced at Wang Du deeply.

In the eyes of many people, the Changding Army and the Yongzhou Army are already endless, after all, 50,000 people have been captured and killed by the Changding Army, even including Lu Kai, the No. 2 person, and 2,000 elite sword riders.

Even if the Yongzhou army was defeated by the Changding army, at most, it would avoid its edge and flee elsewhere, instead of negotiating peace with the Changding army.

Wang Du had already let go at this time.

As an official of Shu State, he abandoned the city and fled, no matter for any reason, even if he was not held accountable by the imperial court, his future future would be absolutely over.

If you want to make up for the sin of abandoning the city, there is only one word, to make up for it!

Wang Yan knew that it would be a life and death to take these tens of thousands of horses to escape into the rear of the Southern Barbarian Army and the Sanzhou Coalition Army, but he had no choice, unless he died in the city, or simply defected to the anti-Shu side.

Don't look at the Yongzhou army now like a fish in water in southern Xinjiang, in fact, it's just that the rebels don't really pay attention to them.

Once Wang Yan becomes a force, he can really shake the foundation of the rebels, no matter how difficult the battle line of Tongtianhe is, even if he gives up a large territory, the rebels will definitely send a large army back to destroy the Yongzhou army at any cost.

The reason why the Yongzhou army attacked Tianshui County was to supply the armor and get a credit that was enough to make up for the sin of abandoning the city.

Everyone knows that the Southern Barbarian Army can resist the two-way counterinsurgency army, relying on the supply of Tianshui County's armor, as long as Tianshui County is eradicated, the Southern Barbarian Army cannot be replenished, and it is definitely not the opponent of the Shu army.

As long as Tianshui County is destroyed, even if all the hundreds of thousands of Yongzhou troops are exhausted, only Wang Yan and other generals can escape with their lives, but the credit of pouring heaven will definitely not be able to escape.

Wang Du's idea was very simple, since he couldn't win the Changding army, then change the method and try to pull the Changding army into the formation of Shu.

"With Chu He's character, since he has already sent troops to the southern frontier, he will definitely not give up the territory he has fought like this, and maybe he can also let the southern barbarian army and the Changding army clash, and let them fight!"

Wang Du said in a deep voice: "Regardless of whether the Changding army and the Southern Barbarian army can fight, the worst can be a thorn between them, and it is not as cooperative as before." ”

"If possible, we can try to contact Zhuge Wenxiang, if we can persuade Chang Dingjun to surrender to the court, this will be a great achievement. ”

"Once the Changding Army joins forces with our Yongzhou Army, based on the land of Tianshui County, which is a radius of thousands of miles, it is the rebels who lead the army to come, and we will have enough strength to resist it!"

At this time, Wang Yan finally showed a hint of emotion, and after a deep groan, he said: "What Wang Zhi said is reasonable!"

"It is said that although Chu He has formed an alliance with the Southern Barbarian Army, all the armor and materials need to be exchanged for a large amount of money and silver by the Southern Barbarian Army, which shows that the two are not monolithic. ”

Don't look at the rebels now, it looks very powerful, but Wang Yan sees it very thoroughly, the foundation of Shu is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, in fact, the south of the Tongtian River is a border land for Shu, and the annual taxes collected from these places are less than one percent of the country.

Now occupied by the rebels, in fact, it has not had much impact on the national strength of Shu.

It is one thing to be rich in minerals in the border areas of southern Xinjiang, and it is another thing to bring benefits to Shu, and the undeveloped southern Xinjiang is naturally not important.

Historically, when Zhuge Wenxiang completely cleared the anti-Shu forces in southern Xinjiang and truly controlled this vast territory in the hands of the imperial court, he vigorously developed the southern region and provided huge resources and assistance for Shu's northern expedition.

Even if the rebels can now resist the attack of the Shu counterinsurgency army, but the battle is about resources and money and food, and the Shu counterinsurgency army has an endless supply of materials and resources from the densely populated hinterland of the Central Plains.

The most important thing is that Shu also has a Zhuge Wenxiang like the Japanese side, as long as Zhuge Wenxiang does not fall, Shu will never fall!

This is also an important reason why Wang Yan refused to get into trouble with Yonghong and others.

Chen Kedi suddenly said: "Lord Zhou Mu, the lower officials feel that it is precisely because Chu He is so greedy and short-sighted that it is not easy to persuade him to defect to the imperial court. ”

"Even if an adult can connect with Zhuge Wen, how can there be enough benefits to buy this person?"

Chen Kedi's words are definitely to the point.

Chen Kedi actually still has a question that has not been said, if Chu He is really so unbearable and has no ambitions, how can he let a seven-rank god of war obey orders under him?

But at this time, it is clearly not the time to ask this question.

Even if Chu He really harbored evil intentions, the question was what the Yongzhou army could do with the other party? This would only be a greater blow to everyone's morale.

When the others heard Chen Kedi say this, they all frowned, and their eyes fell on Wang Yan.

From Wang Du's judgment, it can be seen that Chu He is definitely a commodity that does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, such a greedy villain, it is best to buy it, but the Yongzhou army cannot take enough benefits to buy Chu He.

They would never think that just an empty word could make the Changding army turn its head and fight against the anti-Shu army.

To make up for it, in fact, if the Yongzhou Army can really come up with enough benefits to buy the Changding Army, Chu He will be vain and wronged.

The strategy he has always pursued is to accumulate more grain and slowly become king, if it weren't for the fact that he was suppressed by negative qi luck and the loss of blood and qi tenfold, Chu He would not even be willing to leave Tianshui County to participate in the great cause of the world early.

Anyway, it is impossible for him to surrender to the Shu Kingdom, and before that, he can get benefits from the hands of the Shu army, so he will naturally smile and accept it.

Wang Yan can see the general trend of the world, but they don't believe that Chu He will have such a strategic vision, a vicious dog that can only protect food, how can they know the true strength and heritage of Shu State, it is quite difficult to convince Chu He with an empty sentence.

Wang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "No matter what, it is really unwise to start a war with the Changding army, once our army and the Changding army are both defeated, it will only cheapen the rebels!"

He looked at Wang Du: "Wang Zhizhong, Benzhou allows you to act cheaply, try to get in touch with Chu He, even if you can't persuade the other party to surrender to the court, you must dispel the idea of Chang Ding's army attacking our army!"

"General Chen Zhonglang, you go back and inform General Zhang that the right-wing army has withdrawn to the location of the Chinese army. ”

After speaking, he asked his guards to put on a huge map: "It's difficult for the Changding army to figure out the attitude, so I'll have to wait for another preparation." ”

Wang Yan's eyes condensed on the map for a long time, and finally he sighed: "If the Changding army is unwilling to retreat, our army can advance eastward along the Shanjing River, and then pass through the Sunset Canyon, enter the Black Earth Plain, and go straight to the Sword Spirit City!"

The rat-eyed scribe was taken aback when he heard this: "Lord Zhou Mu, this Sword Spirit City is already approaching Baozhou, it is the territory of Shanyue, and the terrain is dangerous. Is it a bit inappropriate to provoke the Shanyue forces at this time?"

Wang Yan shook his head: "If you can't capture Tianshui County, you have to replenish the army's supplies, and there is only this Sword Spirit City." Although Sword Spirit City is precipitous, the Shanyue forces are scattered, and there are many contradictions among the tribes, so they must not work together to resist our army. ”

The nearby land with a radius of two or three thousand miles was first raided several times by the rebels, and a large number of people were requisitioned, and then swept away by the Yongzhou army.

There are no big cities in the borderlands, although those small towns still have some supplies, but even if they are captured, the rice and grain obtained may not be enough to make up for the loss of the army.

The rat-eyed scribe questioned again: "This place is thousands of miles away from Sword Spirit City, and it is still necessary to pass through the two dangerous places of Sunset Canyon and Black Earth Plain. ”

"Especially the black-scaled wolves in the Black Soil Plains, they are extremely ferocious, tens of thousands, and they will definitely bring great casualties to our army. With the current supply of our army, even if we can get some replenishment along the way, it is not enough to support 100,000 people to open up the land of 100,000 miles, I am afraid that when we reach Sword Spirit City, there will only be 50,000 troops left at most!"

Wang Yan's eyes flashed: "If the 80,000 army sets off, the logistics should be enough, even if there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses left in Sword Spirit City, you can easily capture Sword Spirit City!"

Now the Yongzhou army still has 100,000 troops, plus a large number of auxiliary soldiers and people, and the 80,000 army is open, needless to say, the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 people will definitely become outcasts.

But no one present asked this question, and finally the scribe sighed slightly: "That's all it can be." ”

They were sure to dissuade Chu He from sending troops, but they basically did not report any hope for the Changding army to surrender to the Shu Kingdom, and it was estimated that escaping from Sword Spirit City was the greatest possibility.

Although Chu He put on a tough posture and mobilized troops to approach the Yongzhou Army headquarters, he was also unwilling to really start a war with the Yongzhou Army in his heart, and his posture was mainly to force the Yongzhou Army to leave.

No one can be relied on in these years, gnawing the hard bone of the Yongzhou Army, and not getting any oil and water, Chu He will certainly not act so impulsively.

Not to mention the Yellow Turban Army, the Three-State Coalition Army, or the Southern Barbarian Army, they may not have any good intentions. If the Yongzhou army severely damaged the Changding army, I am afraid that the first one to come to accept Tianshui County would be Meng Huo's Southern Barbarian Army.

A covenant is easy to bypass, but helping allies protect their homeland can cover the mouths of the world.

Fighting with the Yongzhou Army is definitely a thankless task, except for getting a name that lets the world know that the Changding Army is powerful, there is not much benefit.

Fame has the advantages of being famous, but it also has disadvantages, it will make others pay more attention to and be jealous of the Standing Army, and if it can't come overt, it will definitely try to weaken the strength of the Standing Army secretly.

At that time, it was difficult for Chang Dingjun to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and I am afraid that he would have to participate in the competition for the general trend of the world in advance.

Therefore, when Chu He heard the report from the scout, Wang Du, who was engaged in the Yongzhou military administration, came to the Changding army territory with dozens of soldiers and horses, and asked to meet Chu He, Chu He discussed with the generals in the army, as well as Guo Pu and others, and decided to summon Wang Du to see what the other party had in mind.

Dozens of generals were stopped by Qianyuanwei, and only Wang Du arrived at the camp of the Changding Army under the guidance of Qianyuanwei.

Wang Du was also surprised when he saw Chu He sitting on a bearskin chair for the first time, and a huge white tiger lying next to him, he couldn't imagine that Chu He, who had single-handedly established the Changding Army, was so young.

Even if Chu He is extremely burly and his face is mature, Wang Du has his own means of judging the age of the other party, and he can see at a glance that Chu He is no more than fourteen or fifteen years old!

Such a kid, in most people's homes, is still at the age when he has just married and had children, how can he command such a terrifying army, if Chu He is the real master of the Standing Army, wouldn't it be said that Chu He established the Standing Army before he was ten years old?

At this moment, he wondered if the Chang Ding Army was really decided by Chu He, or the real lord of the Chang Ding Army was the mysterious god of war of the Dragon Blood Guard?

Chu He didn't care what Wang Du was thinking in his heart, he glanced at the other party with a majestic gaze, and then said in a deep voice: "You are the ruler of Yongzhou who is engaged in Wang Du?"

As soon as Chu He spoke, Wang Du immediately overturned the thoughts floating in his heart, such a bearing and majestic posture, even he, a civil official in a high position, the fourth rank of Shu State, had a trace of awe, and did not dare to look directly at Chu He's gaze, this is by no means what a puppet can have.

His expression also became a little more respectful and restrained, he took a deep breath, and bowed his hand slightly towards Chu He and said, "This official is Wang Du, I have seen General Chu!"

A guard next to Chu He suddenly shouted angrily: "Bold Wangdu, when you see my lord, don't kneel down and salute!"

Wang Du did not have the slightest fear on his face, and said with a slight smile: "This official is an official of the fourth grade of Shu State, I don't know what kind of official General Chu is of Shu State, and I need this official to participate in the bow ceremony? Is this General Chu's way of hospitality?"

Yongzhou is not Qinzhou, the state shepherd Wang and his wife are the six products, and Lu Kai's mansion is from the six products, that is, Wang Du, the Yongzhou government, is engaged in the four official positions, and the former Qinzhou state pastor is the same as the state of Pu.

In the entire Shu Kingdom, the official position of the fourth grade is not low, in the entire Yongzhou, except for a few people, no one can afford to bow down to Wang Du, not to mention that Wang Du is Wang Yan's henchman, and his status in Qinzhou is much higher than his official quality.

The two Qianyuan guards who came in with Wang Du pressed the hilt of the knife with a cold look, and once Chu He gave an order, they would force Wang Du to kneel.

A bachelor in the realm of the fourth grade is really not in the eyes of these rock-body guards, let alone in the camp of the Changding Army, the blood is soaring, and the combat power that Wang Du can exert is less than thirty percent!

Chu He waved his hand slightly: "Wang Zhizhong should not show the advantage of his tongue, if it is only for this, this marshal advises Your Excellency to save some saliva, go back to rectify the army as soon as possible, and compete with my Changding army!"

Wang Du didn't expect Chu He to be so direct, and he couldn't say a lot of words at once, so he groaned for a while before he said solemnly: "General Chu, this official is here to persuade General Chu to stop fighting with our army!"

"Strike?"

Chu He smiled silently: "Wang Zhizhong can know that my Changding army left Tianshui County, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses drove thousands of miles, how huge is the consumption of materials?"

"I don't know what kind of confidence Wang Zhizhong has, he thinks that if he comes alone, he can persuade the commander to withdraw his troops and return?"

Chu He looked at Wang Du with a smile, and his tone was full of mockery: "You can't fight when the Yongzhou army wants to, and make peace if you want to!"
