In the process of waiting for Wang Gui's reply, Cao Shaozhen and Qi Yunji also involuntarily communicated, mainly about the climate in the south, poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, and plague miasma, and the relationship eased a lot.

Wang Gui replied quickly, and the things he said were much more detailed than those given to Qi Yunji, such as why he asked Qi Yunji to do this and why he hid it from His Royal Highness, and at the same time specially instructed Cao Shaozhen not to tell Cao Yin.

Cao Shaozhen immediately found Qi Yunji, and did not say the reason, but said: "Wang Xiang was worried that the conflict between me and Qi Xiang would bring unnecessary losses, so he didn't tell him, but now this is not important, except for this matter, Qi Xiang came here, there should be other things!" ”

Although Qi Yunji had doubts, but seeing that Cao Shaozhen didn't have a different color and said so, he didn't ask any questions, so he couldn't ask His Highness!

"I think so, the Longteng Army is strong, much stronger than the Kuizhou Army, if the two armies cooperate, there is a certainty of completely defeating Cao Baojin, what do you think of Cao Shuai?" Qi Yunji praised it first.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shaozhen said directly without hesitation: "Yes, you can say how to cooperate!" ”

Qi Yunji didn't bother to think about why Cao Shaozhen was so happy, and immediately said: "The local people of Kuinan are mainly concentrated in the two places of Juzhou and Banzhou, and the terrain is not too dangerous, Cao Shuai led the army to attack Juzhou from the east, and I went south from Fuzhou to Banzhou, the roads are relatively easy to walk, and the enemy can't take care of each other, so they will be able to quickly capture Kuinan, and finally join forces in Zunyi." Cao Shuai, fighting Kuinan is not the main purpose, the process must not be soft, there is no time to slowly transform them, collect weapons and armor all the way to disarm, as long as they resist, they will be killed. ”

Cao Shaozhen opened the map and looked at it, and nodded.

"For hundreds of years, there has not been such a huge number of troops, they must be underprepared, so at most half a year, you and I must be able to board the Yangtze River, at that time the Yangtze River is also dredged, you can attack Zizhou Road by land and water, if Cao Baojin runs better, we can capture Zizhou Road step by step, and directly threaten Chengdu."

"If Lin Jian's security army comes, you and I still can't resist."

Qi Yunji said with a smile: "I'm afraid Lin Jian'an won't do this, if you want to compete with Your Highness for the world, you must take Guanzhong, and the main force is all in the north." Even if he comes with the whole army, it can be regarded as achieving the goal of the king, we can take a boat back to Fuzhou to resist, there is a naval army, Lin Jian'an can't help us. ”

Cao Shaozhen resolutely said: "Then do it!" ”

Seeing that the agreement had been reached and the atmosphere was good, Qi Yunji decided to continue to deepen cooperation.

"Cao Shuai, no matter what the battle situation is here, Lin Jian'an will be defeated in the end, Cao Shuai has thought about what we should do when His Royal Highness rules the world?"

Cao Shaozhen immediately became alert and looked at Qi Yunji without speaking.

"Kuinan goes further south, it is full of endless mountains, it is difficult to continue to attack Dali, but it would be much better if it occupied Zizhou Road, and the Kuizhou army was unable to capture Dali independently, even if it could win in the end, it would be many years later. I'm not young anymore, and I don't want to leave without accomplishments. ”

"What does Qi Xiang think?" Cao Shaozhen remained silent.

"Cao Shuai is not young anymore, but you can still wait until your grandson grows up, don't you want to lay down a big territory for him outside the Central Lands? You can't throw it all to future generations! I want to cooperate with you to go south together and occupy the vast area around Jiaozhi in my lifetime, Cao Shuai, I have understood, there is no such continuous high mountains as Kuinan Dali, it is very rich. ”

"And what's in it for you?"

"Give me and Zhong Zhenhua a suitable position, and then let your grandson marry me and Zhong Shuai's descendants." I have to settle for the next best thing.

Cao Shaozhen was very moved, with the assistance of the Kuizhou Army, his planning time could indeed be greatly advanced.

"I'm afraid I can't be the master of the prince's marriage!"

Qi Yunji said with a smile: "Your grandson is not a prince, His Royal Highness will not pay too much attention to it, and should respect the opinions of you and your daughter, even if it is not a concubine, it doesn't matter, and a side concubine is fine." Cao Shuai, I heard that His Royal Highness will not let the little princes stay in the deep palace, and he will leave the palace after the age of 12, and when the little prince grows up, he can't let him go to other places and other troops to exercise! Don't worry! ”

"Okay, that's it. However, Qi Xiang, I want to remind you, the ugly words are in front, since the hope in the future is on the little prince, don't go back on your word, I have to be the master of major strategies. If it's the same as before, I'll never be softer again, no matter who it is. "O founding of the country! Cao Shaozhen made up his mind.

Qi Yunji is already very satisfied with cooperating with Cao Shaozhen like this, what do you care about? The most important thing is that there is hope.

Cao Baojin stayed in Luzhou and waited for Qi Yunji to call.

The loss of the Great Dispersion Pass made Cao Baojin very passive, but he didn't feel that he was wrong, it was determined by absolute strength, but Lin Jian'an's attitude made him a little chilled.

Transferring to the south was both Lin Jian'an's intention and Cao Baojin's initiative, and he knew that Lin Jian'an didn't trust him very much.

Deng Changxun's last letter shocked him a lot, and he also agreed with Deng Changxun's point of view: Lin Jianyue will win. But it was difficult for Cao Baojin to accept that he wanted to rebel against Lin Jian'an and join Lin Jianyue, which was contrary to the character and faith he had always insisted on, just like he had always been loyal to Deng Changxun.

What should I do? Cao Baojin can only choose to wait.

When it comes to the fate and future of his favorite Lin Jixi, he must be careful, the general trend of the world will change quickly, and he must adapt to the situation.

Qi Yunji Zhong Zhenhua Cao Baojin can't look down on these people, even if they surrender, they won't surrender to them, if they dare to come, Cao Baojin decided to defeat them first, and then force Lin Jianyue's main army to come, and then find a way to see what to do, even if they surrender, they can only surrender Lin Jianyue.

Cao Baojin has been fighting for so many years, how could he not think of the threat on the water? If Qi Yunji and the others ventured into possession of a powerful naval army, Cao Baojin would let them know what the consequences were.

It's just that he didn't expect Cao Shaozhen's army to come over together, and he would soon face a choice.

In April 249 of Daning, the weather was not very hot, the rainy season had not yet arrived, the humidity was not very heavy, it was the best season to send troops, the Longteng Army Kuizhou Army suddenly launched a fierce attack from the east and north, such a strong force made the local ethnic minority armed forces in Kuinan unable to react at all, and there was no way but to surrender and be willing to change the land and return to the stream, but it was refused, unless disarmed. So how can you say yes? I can only continue to flee into the mountains and give up the big city fortress that I have controlled for countless years, hoping to come out again when the army is gone, just like many years ago.

It's a pity that the Longteng Army and the Kuizhou Army are going to take this opportunity to adapt to the training, and there will be higher mountains and more dangerous terrain in the future. What's more, the Yangtze River has not yet been dredged.

What made them desperate was that the troops who came this time were different from before, they didn't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality at all, they didn't talk about any conditions, and if they didn't accept it, it was just one word: kill.

People are almost finished, and there are still many Han people who respond, so they can only accept if they don't accept it.

In August 269, before the rainy season came, Cao Shaozhen and Qi Yunji completely conquered Kuinan, and the army gathered in Jiangjin County, Gongzhou, Kuizhou Road, and could go up the river to attack Zizhou Luhejiang at any time, directly threatening Luzhou.
