"Congratulations to Your Majesty for regaining your ambitions, as long as you are willing to work hard, with Your Majesty's talents, you will definitely be able to dominate the world, and you will never lose to Da Zhou Chai Rong. ”

"Don't be so polite, who am I Chai Rong's opponent?" Meng Chang is still a little self-aware, the result of hard work is at most to keep the foundation of Shu State, after all, with Sichuan natural danger as a shield, it is not easy for anyone to capture Shu State, so as long as you don't do too much, there should be no problem if you want to defend Shu State.

Sun Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty, don't be presumptuous, now that Chai Rong does not have the support of Zongxin, the national strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably decline, and our army can take advantage of the situation and kill them by surprise." Our army has already captured Fengqin Erzhou in the last battle, and now it is a good time to occupy the source of Weishui. ”

Meng Chang pouted and said, "When did we capture Fengzhou and Qinzhou?"

"Xiaguan and Fengzhou Jiedu have made friends with Wang Jingchong for many years, as long as I use some means, I am not afraid that Wang Jingchong will be undefeated. Didn't the general Wu Yan Hongyu propose to His Majesty to send troops twice, although he did not gain power, but with the cooperation of the lower officials, he had captured Fengzhou and Qinzhou, and now Wang Jingchong is still a hostage in Shu. Sun Fangzheng was very surprised, His Majesty hadn't seen the concert for many years, and he didn't even know about this kind of thing?

Two years ago, because of the Northern Han Dynasty uniting the Khitan, Murong Yanchao colluded with the Tang Dynasty to prepare to attack left and right. At that time, Wu Yan Hongyu was about to send troops to get a piece of the pie, but because Meng Chang was too cowardly and timid, the dispatch of troops was delayed and the fighter was missed. However, Sun Fangzheng proposed that Wu Yan Hongyu take Fengzhou and Qinzhou first, so he went to see Wang Jingchong in person and told him that this time Shu sent troops to attack Bianliang City, and would never attack Fengzhou, so he asked Wang Jingchong not to send troops to stop him.

At that time, everyone thought that the Great Zhou would die, although Wang Jingchong was very expectant to Zongxin, but in that case, it was inevitable that he would be cranky, and it was not certain who would be in the world in the future, Shu was originally a safe place, and there was nothing wrong with having a good relationship with Shu. So he promised Sun Fangzheng that Fengzhou would not send troops to stop the Hanzhong army.

As a result, Wu Yan Hongyu directly attacked Fengzhou, beat Wang Jingchong by surprise, and there was no time to prepare Fengzhou was attacked in an instant. Wang Jingchong fled to Qinzhou, followed by Wu Yan Hongyu...... The battle against Wu Yan Hongyu in Qinzhou still won easily, and this time Wang Jingchong did not escape, and he did not have the opportunity to ask Guo Wei for help.

After Wu Yan Hongyu caught Wang Jingchong, Sun Fangzheng pleaded to spare his life, but Wang Jingchong was completely placed under house arrest and could hardly go out. What's more, with Wang Jingchong's martial arts, even if he can go out, it's useless, he can't escape at all. It's just that occasionally Wang Baoyu can go to see him, knowing that his father's life is not bad, Wang Baoyu is also relieved, but he is very dissatisfied with Wang Jingchong's capture.

Meng Chang said: "Okay~ But I have to deal with the internal affairs of Shu first, first correct the dynasty, and then take over the world." ”

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

After Meng Chang did not have the pressure of Zongxin, he suddenly felt that the whole world had become extremely clear, and he felt that there was hope in his life again. If you knew this, you shouldn't have acted against Zongxin, and you should have sent someone to make peace with Zongxin a long time ago. I always thought that with the protection of Wu Yan Hongyu, Zong Xin didn't dare to do anything to himself, and he didn't even dare to come to Chengdu. Now that I think about it, it would have been better if Wu Yan Hongyu had died earlier, so that Chaogang would not have been wasted for so many years.

Of course, Meng Chang would never think that Wu Yan Hongyu died well, but he died too late......

Meng Chang and Sun Fangzheng didn't know at all, they were still preparing to take over the world first, and then find a way to seize the world. But at this time, Zhao Kuangyin had already rushed to Fengzhou with 30,000 horses, preparing to recover the lost territory, and even Hanzhong was also within Zhao Kuangyin's goal. The reason is very simple, the first stop after Sichuan goes out is Hanzhong, as long as Hanzhong can be attacked and defended by the troops in Shu.

The Shu Road is indeed a broken road, and the four roads into Sichuan are collectively referred to as Sichuan. The soldiers traveled a long way to reach Hanzhong, and after recuperating in Hanzhong, they were able to go to war. But if Hanzhong fell into the hands of the Great Zhou, Shu would be trapped and died in Sichuan, and it would be even more difficult to send troops to recapture Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is particularly important to Shu, if there is no Hanzhong Shu will completely lose the opportunity to seize the world, the tired soldiers have no place to recuperate, directly exposed to the Hanzhong army, it must be a bitter battle. But if Hanzhong is there, the situation is completely different.

So Chai Rong listened to Wang Pu's suggestion this time, and first trapped Shu to death in Sichuan, so that he would completely lose the threat of Shu, and then he would be able to deal with the Tang Dynasty well. Otherwise, it is meaningless to seize Shu first, anyone in the position of Shu wants to rebel and become the emperor, and at that time it is the loss of the wife and the army. And to trap Shu to death in Sichuan, the most critical thing is, of course, Hanzhong.

The four surrounding states of Hanzhong, Qinzhou, Fengzhou, Chengzhou, and Jiezhou were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, because Li Shouzhen rebelled and was trapped in Tongguan, Guo Wei then rebelled and became the emperor, and lost Chengzhou and Jiezhou, but Guo Wei at that time had no time to take care of it. And because the Great Zhou was attacked from the left and right, Wu Yan Hongyu once again sent troops to capture Fengzhou and Qinzhou, so that the four surrounding states of Hanzhong all returned to the Shu Kingdom.

This was originally a problem that should have been dealt with a long time ago, but Chai Rong and Guo Wei never had time. Now that Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty has basically lost his combat power, Chai Rong has made a fortune because of the destruction of the Buddha, so the first thing Chai Rong has to solve now is the affairs of the four states around Hanzhong. Only by completely eliminating Shu's ambition to dominate the world can we successfully attack the Tang Dynasty.

It's night

Zong Xin led two people to a very ordinary house in a bright light, and then pushed the door and entered. There was an old man in the courtyard who was enjoying the shade, holding a big fan in his hand, wearing only a cool sweatshirt, lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed. He held a pipe in his right hand, and placed a pot of wine and two glasses next to it, as well as a few dishes to accompany the wine.

After this little life, Zongxin wanted to rush up and give him two slaps, this is an incompetent official who lost two cities, and was captured by others and placed under house arrest, but he didn't think about running away or doing something meaningful, but enjoyed life in this place.

Hearing that someone entered the house, Wang Jingchong opened his eyes slightly, and saw Zong Xin and Tianya at first sight, Tianya had grown very big at this time, but his face was the same as when he was a child, Wang Jingchong still recognized it at a glance.

Wang Jingchong immediately sat up, and knelt on one knee while tidying up his appearance.

"The criminal minister Wang Jingchong sees King Qi Chitose, and he sees Master Zongxin. ”

"Hurry up, it's not appropriate for you to kneel at such an age. Tianya immediately said: "Get up quickly, or the master will whip me again." ”

Wang Jingchong immediately stood up, he was the first person to know Zong Xin's future, and he was also the first person to foresee Zong Xin's future achievements, but he didn't expect Zong Xin's achievements to be so great. A few years ago, the little bald head beside Zong Xin has now become the king of Qi, and he must kneel when he sees it, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

"The guilty minister deserves to die, even lost Feng and Qin, and asked King Qi to surrender. ”

"First of all, I don't blame you for this matter, if you can win against Wu Yan Hongyu, it's weird. Secondly...... I don't think you look remorseful, you were very laid-back just now. Tianya said depressedly: "Your little life is better than mine...... Do you know how much I have suffered by following Master?"

"Yes, yes. "Wang Jingchong knows Zongxin well, and the result of following Zongxin is definitely good, but the process must be very uncomfortable, which Wang Jingchong has also suffered.

Zong Xin said: "Lord Wang, your life is quite good now. Do you want to go back?"

"Master Hui Zongxin, I don't want to go back. Wang Jingchong said: "Now life is really good, although I am under house arrest in Shu, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, I have wine and meat for a meal, and I have someone to take care of my daily life." My daughter is also very filial, this day is too good. I'm about the same age, and it's useless to continue to make contributions, and it's not bad to retire here. ”

Zong Xin chuckled and said: "It's good if you're satisfied, I'm just here to see you, if your life is not good, I will definitely punish Meng Chang and let him give you a higher treatment." But now that I can eat and sleep, I'm relieved. ”

"Thank you Master Zongxin for your concern. ”

"Dad, are there any guests?" Wang Baoyu suddenly walked out of the living room, still holding a plate of side dishes in his hand, it seemed that he had come to add vegetables to his father, and he also heard the movement outside and was about to come out to take a look.

Wang Baoyu looked up and saw Zong Xin, and the whole person was instantly petrified. This is the person Wang Baoyu thought about for a long time, why did he only come now? If he could have come two years earlier...... Maybe everything is different.

"Sister Baoyu, haven't you grown so fat for a few years? This belly is like a pregnancy......"

"Phew, that's pregnancy. Zong Xin didn't know what Tianya had in his head, whether he hadn't taught this little rascal well.

Before he could speak, a man walked out from behind Wang Baoyu, stretched out his hands to support Wang Baoyu's arm, and then said politely: "Is there a guest? Is my father-in-law your guest? ”

Everyone didn't move, Zong Xin was embarrassed, because he knew that Wang Baoyu liked him, and almost the first time the two met, Wang Baoyu liked him, after all, Wang Baoyu was targeted by flower thieves at that time, and Zong Xin was a hero to save the beauty, for a little girl, the temptation of this situation is too great.

Wang Baoyu was shocked that he was seen by his favorite person when he was most embarrassed. In fact, Wang Baoyu didn't like his current father-in-law, and she was forced to marry this man for the livelihood of the father and daughter, so that her father could enjoy his old age in peace.

Wang Baoyu's justice is Sun Fangzheng's nephew Sun Cheng, and now Sun Fangzheng is in power, and he is also a celebrity around Meng Chang, and Meng Chang's most trusted person. Sun Fangzheng is an internal official and has no heirs, so no one dares to stop Sun Cheng in the sideways aisle in Shu Kingdom, and even Meng Chang has to give him three points, because Meng Chang needs Sun Fangzheng's protection, and Sun Cheng is Sun Fangzheng's only hope.
