Cui Ning was shocked and angry, he didn't expect this Du Ji child to coax him so much, and immediately ordered someone to lead the troops out to pursue, but at this time, it was far more than three hours before Du Ji left the city, and even if he rode a thousand miles of horse, he couldn't catch up.

Dr. Cui didn't expect that his careful plan would be in a frequent situation, and he had a ninety percent chance of winning, but now he is afraid that there is only sixty percent left. His brother Cui Mi couldn't help but retreat, and said to his brother in a low voice: "Duda Shuzhong, I'm afraid it is impossible to get rid of Li Siye for the time being, or we should take the initiative to propose reconciliation to the Guo brothers and welcome the staff team sent by King Yong." ”

"What nonsense is it saying, there is no turning back when you open the bow, since we have already taken action, how can there be any reason to turn back. Your unity battalion has 25,000 men, and we have recruited 10,000 regiments in the city to train their soldiers. Although there were 20,000 troops under Guo Yingyi's command in Dongxichuan, and even if the troops under Du Ji were added, they were only 30,000, but all their grain and grass supplies were allocated from outside Chengdu. ”

"But, but," Cui Mi said hesitantly, "the autumn rice harvest is imminent, and they can bypass us in their state and county to collect grain and grass, and this is not a good time." ”

"Now that we can't take care of so much, we first ordered the expropriation of grain and grass in several states near Chengdu, so that they do not fall into the hands of Guo Yingyi and Du Ji in vain. Now we have no external pressure, Li Siye can't take care of the affairs in Shuzhong, as long as he closes the door and kills a few troublemakers, this is still our world. ”

When Cui Ning said that our world was in his mouth, his expression was extremely confident, as if he had mastered the secrets of the whole world.

……

Du Ji ran all the way to the southeast along the official road, not only because he wanted to escape quickly, but also to prevent the Chongqing army from intercepting the order from the city capital and not letting them be deceived.

The Chongqing army received the first military order from Chengdu, of course, they could not believe that they would not accept the order, Du Ji was extremely strict in commanding the army, and before leaving for Chengdu, he told his subordinates that any other orders except the holy decree should wait for him to return before making a decision. However, the second military order sent by Chengdu was stamped by Du Ji's letter. After the military leaders discussed, they had no choice but to lead their troops on the road.

The army had already reached the border of Yuzhou, and suddenly a cavalry of more than a dozen people came in front of it, surrounded by a carriage, and one person at the front of the cavalry called loudly: "Stop!" ”

Under the cover of the flag, the generals stepped forward and asked, "Who in front dares to stop the march of the army!" ”

Du Ji jumped down from the carriage and shook his robe, shouting, "It's me! ”

"It turned out to be a general!" The military leaders hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Du Ji didn't bother to explain the reason to them, and immediately ordered to turn around and return to Yuzhou City.

After the Chongqing army returned to Yuzhou, Du Ji ordered the requisition of grain and grass in various counties on the one hand, and sent people to Meizhou to contact Guo Yingyi on the other hand.

Guo Yingyi received a letter from Du Ji and learned that Guo Yinggan was detained by Cui Ning, and after being heartbroken, he was furious and vowed to kill Cui Ning.

He ordered people to collect grain and grass in Meizhou and other places to recruit soldiers, and soon Du Ji also led the Chongqing army to arrive, and the two carefully discussed how to defeat Cui Ning in Yuanmen. They still have a bottom on their own strength, Cui Ning can fight well, even if the victory or defeat of both sides in the field is in the number of five or five, not to mention that Cui Ning has an advantage in Chengdu City.

"The lord didn't know that Cui Ning had a rebellion in Guanzhong, and the staff group he sent to Shuzhong was also trapped outside the Sword Gate, and he couldn't even pass the news. We must report this news to the lord and know that receiving foreign aid is the guarantee of victory against the enemy. ”

Guo Yingyi twisted his beard and thought: "The Golden Bull Road and the Micang Road are guarded by Cui Ning's henchmen and generals, and the Lychee Road is not yet known, I want to select more than ten reliable soldiers from the army, and order them to go to Chang'an with a letter to report to the lord, so that the plan of the Cui brothers will be aborted." ”

Du Ji added: "It's just that it takes time for letters to come and go, and when the lord sends troops to Shuzhong, I'm afraid a month has passed, and we must be invincible at this juncture." ”

Guo Yingyi had a strategy, when his younger brother and Du Ji went to Chengdu, he began to spend money to collect grain and grass in the people, and now he has gathered four or five hundred thousand grains in three states. Even if his opponent Cui Ning can fight well and rarely lose, he can also advance and retreat with these grains and grasses, and he can maintain his current strength before Li Siye sends troops.

"We only have one way now, that is, delay, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for us, the Cui brothers can't convince the public, and they can't appease the hearts of the people in Shu, as long as the lord sends a partial division from Lychee Road into Shuzhong to join us, Cui Ning can only control the surrounding areas of Chengdu, and when the three armies work together to attack Chengdu, you and I have the merit of counterinsurgency."

"Good!" Du Ji is most in favor of the latter paragraph, he is also an ambitious person, but compared to the Cui brothers' occupation of the king, he is more keen to enter the Chang'an Imperial City and become one of the prime ministers of the empire.

Cui Ning and Du Ji each sent their cronies along the lychee road into Hanzhong, and from the Bao slope road to Chang'an, given that this road has a very developed post station system, can send the lychee from southern Sichuan to Daming Palace within three days, although it is now deserted, but it only took three and a half days to enter Chang'an.

Xu Bin was shocked when he heard about it, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Li Siye, the king of Yong, Li Siye was very plain after hearing about it, when he made the decision to withdraw the military power of the Jiedu envoy, he had already expected that there would be people who were unwilling to give up power and overreact, this is a good thing, you can pick out the ambitious fake loyal ministers within his regime to get rid of them one by one, and the Cui brothers will not be exposed.

He didn't need to transfer troops from Guanzhong to Shuzhong, there were more than 30,000 people under the command of Zang Xiyan, the general stationed in Hanzhong, who was ready to wait for the capture of Xiangyang and then go south along the Han River into Jiangcheng. However, due to the fact that the difficult bones of Xiangyang were still holding each other, Li Siye had to temporarily transfer this army into Shu to quell the rebellion.

At the same time, he also knew that the staff group sent to Shuzhong had been detained by Cui Ning, in order to be precautionary, he annulled all the original staff committee appointments, and re-elected five people as the staff group, with Yan Zhuang and Wei Yingwu as leaders and deputies, with the strong qualifications and abilities of these two people, the complex affairs in Shu can also be easily solved.

The staff group and 30,000 troops all entered Shuzhong Yuzhou along the Lychee Road, Guo Yingyi and Du Ji hurriedly went to ask for a meeting in person, Zang Xiyan read out the will and announced that he was the head of the march and served as the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, gathered 60,000 troops to advance in the direction of Chengdu, Cui Ning and Cui Mi brothers were frightened, but they did not know how to respond.
