As for the current Yizhou herdsman, he didn't mean to embarrass Li Hao, but he did everything officially, and ordered a master bookkeeper to assist Li Hao in determining the location of the palace in Chengdu, and he didn't spend too much thought on this matter in the future.

However, this is also normal, Shang Xun was originally an official appointed by Emperor Gengshi, and then surrendered to Emperor Wen after the fall of Emperor Gengshi.

Therefore, it was reused by Emperor Wen later, but the identity is a little sensitive after all, so there is no need to deliberately make friends with Li Haopan whether it is public or private, if you want to change it to Ling Budo, the scene may be different.

It is very easy to choose the palace of Chengdu Mansion, after all, Gongsun Shu has been stealing Shu for many years, and has built a lot of Zhuang Yuan and palace rooms in Chengdu.

Although some were burned by Wu Han at the beginning, there are many that have not been affected, as long as you pick the best among them.

Of course, it was precisely because of the large number that it took some time to settle.

After that, Chengdu officials sent people to repair the garden, and Li Hao left 20 tuncai supervisors as usual, and he continued to inspect other places with a large army.

It was not until the repair in Hua County was completed that Cheng Lao County sent someone to inform him that Li Hao returned to check the situation.

It is said that the craftsmanship of the craftsmen in Shu is really good, anyway, after checking it out, Li Hao didn't see any mistakes or omissions, so it can be regarded as an official acceptance here.

After acceptance, this temporary palace of Emperor Wen needs to be sealed, except for a group of slaves and maids fixed for sprinkling and sweeping, others can no longer enter and exit at will.

It's just that Li Hao's entourage is not enough, and it is impossible for all of them to stay in Hua County, so Li Hao called a group of servants from Hua County, plus Li Hao left 80 more cavalry to block this temporary palace.

Of course, Li Hao left these cavalry, not only to blockade the palace, but also to have these people as the backbone to cooperate with the soldiers and horses recalled by Li Hao to resist when dealing with Fan Chang later.

After all, those people themselves have not been on the battlefield many times, and then they are dismissed as people even more loosely, and if there is no one to lead, Li Hao is not very relieved.

And to tell the truth, Li Hao didn't expect to be able to solve Fan Chang with their lonely bravery, after all, Fan Chang is also a veteran of many years of war, and the soldiers and horses under his command are all trained county soldiers.

Even if Li Hao was calculating or unintentional, making Fan Chang defenseless, Li Hao still didn't have the confidence to solve Fan Chang.

Unless Li Hao made a move in advance, taking advantage of Fan Chang's lack of vigilance against him, he directly led someone to rush to arrest him, which would be successful.

It's just that in this way, Li Hao can't guarantee that he can get the empirical evidence that Fan Chang committed the eucalyptus, and it will not be good if Fan Chang bites back.

In the final analysis, the relationship between Li Hao and Emperor Wen is not as close as the relationship between Fan Chang and Emperor Wen, so it is not very convenient to do this thing, and you can only wait until there is substantial evidence before you can do it.

Of course, the news still has to be sent back to Emperor Wen, but it has to be delayed a little longer, and it seems that he is working hard.

And I believe that even if the news is reported to Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen will not allow Li Hao to do it in advance, after all, not counting their friendship, Emperor Wen also has to worry about other people's thoughts.

According to Li Haode's investigation, Fan Chang's achievements from the dragon are not small, except for his violent temper in the past, he has not offended much on the side, and the batch of ordnance that was transported into Shuzhong should also be distributed to the rebellious rebels.

Mixed in the normal ordnance, there is no way to investigate, after all, with Li Hao's subordinates, it is impossible to take Fan Chang's troops at one time.

Therefore, before the deeds of the rebellion are revealed, taking him down based on rumors will inevitably arouse suspicion.

After all, it has always been easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth. Originally, Liu Bang had a good start to kill the heroes, if Emperor Wen also killed the heroes for no reason, it was difficult to guarantee that others would not have ideas.

Not to mention those heroes and rich heroes, let's just say that they believe that Emperor Wen has surrendered in the name of virtue over the years, in case they misunderstand, they are afraid that they will set off a storm again, which is not the result that Emperor Wen wants.

Therefore, Li Hao can only let Fan Chang strike first, so that although it is not certain to directly kill the enemy, as long as he can keep Hua County and block Fan Chang's troops in the field, it can also be achieved

Li Hao's purpose.

After all, the true face of Fan Chang's rebellion was exposed, and Li Hao could directly call the soldiers and horses of the nearby counties to surround him, not to mention that if he wanted to come to Fan Chang to do something, he would definitely choose when Emperor Wen Luan was about to arrive, and at that time, he would directly find Ling Budo to come over, thinking that he would be more active.

For this reason, Li Hao also deliberately left Yuan Wo, let him lead everyone with Li Hao's sigil, and contact the old Shu army that was about to gather from outside.

And guaranteed that when Fan Chang attacked Hua County, in case Li Hao did not send back the news in time due to the incident, he would also be able to take the opportunity to lead people to meet Fan Chang.

As for Li Hao himself, he took the remaining 200 people to continue to inspect other places, and also attracted Fan Chang's attention by the way, lest he pay attention to the situation in Hua County.

In fact, Li Hao's plan was indeed successful, according to Li Hao's eyeliner sent to stare at Fan Chang, Fan Chang was already beginning to gather troops, and kept moving towards the junction of Qianwei County and Ba County, it seemed that he was preparing to attack Hua County.

It's just that this move was hidden, so it didn't attract the attention of the officials on the county side.

The undercurrent is surging in Shuzhong, but Emperor Wen's side is not very smooth, originally this time with the prince to the west, Emperor Wen has the idea of cultivating the prince.

He originally thought that this time the prince presented a map and took the initiative to fight for the opportunity to participate in the western tour, which meant that the prince had enough ambition and was no longer lying flat as before.

So along the way, Emperor Wen arranged a bunch of errands for the prince to learn to do, including the military affairs involved in this march.

After all, if it is decided today, as a prince, you may not have to go into battle in person, but you can't always be ignorant of military affairs.

But the prince's performance made Emperor Wen a little disappointed, and the prince made a mistake in the taboos of the army, such as unclear rewards and punishments, indecisiveness, and lax orders.

There was no way, if Li Hao was here, he could help him deal with all kinds of affairs.

But now that Li Hao is not there, and the rest of the generals accompanying him are not the prince's people, forcing him to take care of it himself, this result is not very satisfactory.

Emperor Wen specially summoned the prince and said, "The prince knows that no matter how he governs the country and the army, he needs to be lenient and benevolent.

These days, when you are in charge of military affairs, you have been rewarded for everything, but you have not been punished for any of the punishments, which is not the way to govern the army.

If this goes on for a long time, who will act according to military orders, and even the most elite soldiers and horses will be overwhelmed from battle."

After hearing Emperor Wen's lesson, the prince didn't dare to defend himself, so he could only promise again and again, but when he punished those who violated military regulations, the prince still couldn't make up his mind and let it go gently.

This gave Emperor Wen a headache, so he could only call the prince again and again to teach him a lesson, but the lesson is a lesson, and the matter has to be solved after all.

So Emperor Wen sent Ling Budo to the prince's side to assist the prince in handling military affairs, and by the way, let the prince see how to govern the army.

As a result, the prince's evasive mentality rose, because these things that he thought were tricky, Ling Budo could handle them quickly.

After coming and going, the prince slowly didn't bother to bother, and had to hand over all the things to Ling Budo to handle, but he became the shopkeeper instead.

Ling Budo was very dissatisfied with this, and persuaded him: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty is asking me to assist you in dealing with this, so that you can learn to handle military affairs as soon as possible, after all, this is what you need to do in the future.

So how can you just throw your hands at others now, this is against Your Majesty's original intention, and it is really inappropriate."

Faced with the truth that Ling Budo said, the prince couldn't understand it, so he agreed.

But the prince himself has flaws in his character, he is unwilling to make a decision when encountering problems, and he instinctively escapes when he encounters problems and obeys the words of others.

So accompanied by Ling Budo, the prince persisted for a few more days and then germinated, making Ling Budo lose his temper.

It also happened that the Western Patrol team passed Hanzhong County and was about to enter Shu, this mountain road was more difficult to navigate, and the affairs to be dealt with were more cumbersome, which made Ling Budo even more headache.

But even so, Ling Budo did not forget

I wanted to send someone to contact Li Hao and ask how the situation was in Shuzhong and whether he had found out who was behind the ordnance.

It's just that before Ling Budo could send a messenger, Li Hao sent back a letter from someone about Fan Chang being the person behind the theft and sale of ordnance, and explained that Fan Chang was already gathering troops on the border of Qianwei County, intending to seize Hua County and disadvantage Emperor Wen.

Then he also explained his actions, indicating that he had made arrangements to ensure that Hua County was not lost, and asked if he could do it in advance to arrest Fan Chang.

Emperor Wen was very shocked when he saw it, even if he announced Ling Budo, after all, it was not easy to tell others about this matter now, and Ling Budo was the one who had been arresting and investigating this matter, and he was Emperor Wen's good son, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

After Ling Budo found out, he was also very surprised, although he also thought that Shuzhong, the person who did business with King Yong, must be a high authority.

He had even thought of Shang Xuntou before, but he never expected it to be Fan Chang, which was really unbelievable.

Instinctively, Ling Budo had doubts about the truth of this news, but after reading through it carefully, he still agreed with what Li Haode said.

After all, what this letter said was justified and well-founded, and there was also a specific description of the raising of troops, Ling Budo didn't think it was Li Hao's nonsense, because all this was too easy to verify the truth and falsehood, unless Li Hao wanted to rebel.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that it is his own scruples, Li Hao is more than Fan Chang, the Yuan family is either in the capital, or in Xuzhou, and there is a big family in Qingzhou to take care of their lives.

If it was really Emperor Wen because of Li Hao, he was afraid that the entire Yuan family would die.

On the other hand, Fan Chang, all his family members are by his side, and without scruples, the probability of daring to risk his life is relatively high.

So after thinking about this, Ling Budo took the initiative to say, "Please Your Majesty immediately give an order to mobilize heavy troops to capture Fan Chang."

But Emperor Wen was still hesitating, he didn't question Li Hao's judgment, after all, what Ling Budo could think of, he could think of himself.

It's just that just as Li Hao thought, he was worried about this matter, worried that this move would affect his whole body.

After pondering, Emperor Wen said, "After all, Fan Chang was the first to raise troops with me, and he can't be taken lightly without evidence.

Anyway, Li Hao is not deployed there, and he can control the scope of Fan Chang's rebellion at the first time, so let's wait for him to do it before extinguishing it.

However, in order to prevent Li Hao from having an accident, you first quietly bring the tiger talisman into Shu to meet Li Hao, so that you can mobilize the soldiers from all over the country to encircle and suppress it."

Although he was not very satisfied with Emperor Wen's decision, Ling Budo also understood Emperor Wen's difficulties, and finally agreed.

It's just that Ling Budo asked Emperor Wen to slow down a little and help delay the time for Fan Chang's rebellion, so that he could have more time to deploy with Li Hao in Shuzhong.

Emperor Wen naturally agreed to this, and then Ling Budo also quietly broke away from the Western Patrol team, pretending to be a caravan and quickly entering Shu.

For this reason, Ling Budo even the black-armored guards who had been accompanying him only took Liang Qiufei and Liang Qiuqi two brothers and more than a dozen people to set off.

Then followed by Li Hao's messenger, Ling Budo found Li Hao in Mianzhu and fully understood the specific situation in Shuzhong.

After all, the content revealed in the letter is only the result, and there is not much introduction to the process, and Li Hao cannot tell the messenger everything, which is not conducive to secrecy.

After accurately understanding all this, Ling Budo became even more convinced of Li Hao, and asked even more, "Since you have already arranged it, is there anything I need to do here?"

Li Hao replied: "This is true, in fact, according to my investigation, Fan Chang did not have many soldiers and horses to launch a rebellion this time, probably considering the problem of leaking secrets, so there are only more than 4,000 private soldiers of his cronies.

In addition, he didn't know that we were already on guard, so if we were taken by surprise, the odds were still very good.

It's just that the old department I planted around Hua County, after all, it has been a while since I left the battlefield, and I'm afraid that I need a strong general to lead in order to exert my true strength.

But now I must be under Fan Chang's surveillance, so I want to invite Zicheng

Go to Hua County to command, and then I will take advantage of the excuse of His Majesty's proximity to transfer another 80 tun cavalry to go, plus the 100 tun cavalry there already exist, Zicheng can use these 180 tun cavalry as the backbone to command all the men and horses.

As for the county soldiers of Guanghan and Ba County, they will not move for the time being, so as not to leak the news, and after Fan Chang makes a move, the two generals of Liang Qiu will go to transfer troops separately to sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop."

After listening to Li Hao's plan, Ling Budo did not object in the end, after all, this plan was also safe, and he wanted to be able to capture Fan Chang in person.

Seeing that Ling Budo agreed, Li Hao informed him of all his deployments around Hua County, including the matter of paper armor, and Ling Budo couldn't hide it anyway.

It made Ling Budo stunned for a moment, and he was very puzzled that something like paper could be used as armor, but after seeing the affairs later, he couldn't help but sigh: "Ziyang's whimsical ideas are always eye-opening."

For Ling Budo's evaluation, Li Hao just accepted it, and then everyone acted according to the plan, and after Li Hao dispatched the people, he set off to meet Emperor Wen, and then attracted Fan Chang's attention.

But just as Li Hao walked through Qing County, he suddenly heard a fight.
