As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, an imperceptible smile appeared on Li Shimin's lips, while Li Yuanji frowned and looked at Li Shimin displeased.
Li Yuan had already made a decree and ordered Prince Li Jiancheng to raise 500,000 shi of military rations to transport to Nanzheng to supply the needs of the army. And Li Shimin deliberately mentioned this matter at this moment, which clearly told everyone that Li Jiancheng was not doing well.
Just when Li Yuanji opened his mouth to scold Zhuge Liang, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the lobby.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already raised 500,000 shi of military rations, but for some unknown reason, Dashan Pass guard Dou Si obstructed them in every possible way, causing 100,000 shi of military rations to be stranded in the pass for twenty days."
While he was talking, a one-armed man had already stepped into the hall, looked Li Shimin squarely in the face and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince heard about it, and the special envoy went to investigate. When the evidence was solid, Dou Si actually tried to kill someone to silence him, but he was killed on the spot. Now one hundred thousand stones of military rations have been transported to Nanzheng, and the last general is here to deliver orders to His Highness the King of Qin."
This person was Li Jiancheng's number one confidant Liu Zhiyuan. Although Li Jiancheng gave Li Yuanji the position of deputy commander during the Southern Expedition, he was worried that Li Yuanji was not resourceful enough and was being plotted by Li Shimin, so he sent his general south to assist Li Yuanji. Yuanji.
After listening to Liu Zhiyuan's words, Li Shimin's expression changed several times and calmed down again. He laughed and said, "It turns out that the eldest brother has already prepared the military rations. It was Dou Si who delayed the military flight and almost caused eldest brother's trouble!"
Li Yuanji snorted disdainfully and looked at Li Shimin with even more disdain. Dou Si is a child of the Dou family, and the Dou family is a die-hard supporter of Li Shimin in the Guanlong family. If this matter does not have Li Shimin's tacit approval, who would dare to believe it?
Behind Li Yuanji, Zhu Si, who looks loyal on the surface but is actually cunning, is laughing secretly. The war is about to begin, and the brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng are still secretly scheming. How can the world of the old Li family be peaceful?
After a period of silence in the hall, Li Shimin laughed awkwardly and said in a deep voice: "Now that the first batch of 500,000 stones of military rations has been transported to Hanzhong, our army has no worries, and it is time to go south to recover Bashu."
"We are at the mercy of His Highness King Qin!"
All the generals in the hall clasped their fists and said.
Li Shimin nodded slowly, "Li Jilong obeys the order."
Li Jilong responded and bowed to wait for orders.
Li Shimin took a command arrow and said in a deep voice: "I have ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, command 50,000 elite troops, cross Micang Mountain, go south along the Ba River and Qujiang River, and capture the land in Bazhong."
Li Jilong clasped his fists and said, "I will obey your orders!"
"Li Cunshen and Li Guangyan, I will appoint you two as deputy generals Li Jilong to assist Li Jilong in capturing Bazhong."
Li Cunshen and Li Guangyan came out together after hearing this, but their faces could not conceal their loneliness.
But it’s no wonder. Although Micang Road is an important shortcut between Bashu and Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period, the famous Wei general Zhang He entered Bazhong from Micang Road and attacked Danqu. Later, he was defeated by Shu general Zhang Fei and followed Micang Road returned to Hanzhong.
In the first year of Emperor Gong's reign in the Western Wei Dynasty, the Brazilians Qiao Yan occupied Nanliang Prefecture. Li Qianzhe and He Ruodun marched from Hanzhong to attack. Li Qianzhe took the Micang Road to Bazhong first.
However, because Micang Road needs to cross Micang Mountain, Micang Mountain is full of dangerous peaks, with many mountains and steep slopes, making it difficult to climb. Therefore, when the army enters Shu, Micang Road must only be a partial force along the way.
As a partial division, it also means that it is difficult to encounter the main force of the Sui army, and the chance of making achievements is naturally much smaller. However, Li Shimin was good at running the army. Although the two were reluctant, they could only accept the order.
After arranging the partial divisions, Li Shimin stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "This time I conquer Shu, I will lead the central army alone and lead one hundred thousand elites to walk on the Golden Bull Road, attack Jianmen, and take Chengdu. I don't know which general is willing to lead the vanguard. Job?"
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a thunderous sound sounded in the hall.
"This vanguard position will be held by the last general!"
A general eight feet long, with a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's beard, walked out to fight with his head held high. This person is Zhang Fei, the brave general Li Shimin recently recruited.
"Your Highness, the position of vanguard should be handed over to the junior general, who will take the head of Li Jing and present it to Your Highness!"
The man he spoke of was a man with a strong back and a slender face. He was none other than Fan Kuai, the famous founding general of the Western Han Dynasty who came into the world in chaos.
When Zhang Fei saw this, he became furious and shouted: "How dare you compete with me for the position of pioneer!"
Fan Kuai sneered and said: "A certain family has been practicing martial arts since childhood. They pick out the heads of thieves and generals in the midst of thousands of troops as if they were picking out objects from a bag. Why can't they be the vanguard?"
"You're so brave, boy!"
Zhang Fei immediately laughed when he heard this and said: "You dare to show off your martial arts in front of someone. How dare you fight with me. The winner will take this pioneer seal!"
"I'm afraid you won't make it!"
Fan Kuai also laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid that you, a black guy, will be knocked off his horse in three or five moves without being beaten, and then you will have no shame in staying in the army."
Li Shimin saw the two generals fighting and was about to shout, but Du Ruhui on the side shook his head to stop him. He took two steps forward and whispered to Li Shimin: "Your Highness, the war is about to begin. Let these generals show off their martial arts, which can also inspire them." The morale of the whole army.”
Hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly understood. He immediately laughed and said: "Both generals have recently defected to Yu Gu, and today I will let Gu see how good they are in martial arts."
With Li Shimin's approval, Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai stopped staying and went down to prepare.
Not long after, in Nanzheng City, in the school grounds, Li Shimin and other civil and military personnel came here. Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai were already fully armored and facing each other with weapons in hand.
"You thief Fan Kuai, take a spear from your Grandpa Zhang!"
With a roar, Zhang Fei urged the black horse on his hip, waved his eight-foot-long snake spear, and killed Fan Kuai directly.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Zhang Fei enters a shouting state. He roars like thunder to intimidate the enemies. In addition to increasing the base of his own force, there is a chance that the base force value will be lowered than the force of his generals."
"Ding dong, it was detected that Zhang Fei's force +4 this round, the base force is 99, and the current force has increased to 103."
"A ring-eyed thief, what's the point of being able to yell loudly!"
Hearing Zhang Fei's bell-like roar, Fan Kuai sneered, without any fear on his face, clapped his horse and danced, and went straight to meet him.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Fan Kuai has entered the brave state, his force is +4, his base force is 99, and his current force has increased to 103."
"Ding dong, since Fan Kuai's basic force value is 99, which is consistent with Zhang Fei's basic force value, he is not affected by Zhang Fei."
The two men came forward fiercely, holding their weapons high, and they were killed in a blink of an eye.
Not only do these two have bad tempers, but they also follow very similar martial arts routes. The move was swift and violent, with a sound like thunder, and the spears collided with each other, making a loud banging sound. The horses move in a chain, you come and I go, the killing is inextricable, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior.
