Chengdu.
In the young master's house.
Liu Chan looked at the man dressed as a business traveler in front of him and sat quietly on the main seat.
"You mean, it's not Meng Huo who wants to rebel, but his brother Meng You who wants to rebel?"
The businessman's name is Li Ming, and he is a business traveler traveling around Chengdu. He has traveled to Nanzhong many times and has gained the friendship and trust of various ministries in Nanzhong. Now he has joined Liu Chan and has become Liu Chan's eyes in Nanzhong.
"Yes, Meng Huo wanted to be the barbarian king and had no objection. On the contrary, his younger brother Meng You was dissatisfied with the rule of the Han people and wanted to rebel."
Liu Chan's eyes flickered.
"What about Zhu Bao, the governor of Zangqi County, and Gaoding, the king of Yuexi Yi?"
"Zhu Baosu, the prefect of Xianxian County, has rebellious intentions. I heard that he was forging ordnance and plundering grain and grass in his mansion. His intention to rebel has become clear. As for Gaoding, the king of Yuexi Yi, he is just an old barbarian king and has no ambition. According to what I know I know, and I have no objection.”
Liu Chan nodded, becoming more aware of the situation in Nanzhong.
"In your opinion, if Yong Kai plots rebellion, what should I do?"
Liu Chan did not look down on Li Ming because of his low status, but because he was familiar with the situation in Nanzhong and wanted to learn more about the situation from him.
"Nowadays, Han barbarians live in the four counties of Nanzhong. Among the Han people, Yong Kai and Zhu Bao have always been disobedient. Gao Ding and Meng Huo have no intention of rebellion and can be won over. If the prince can get the support of the barbarian king Zhu Rong, Gao Ding and Meng Huo will Ding and Meng Huo may then obey orders."
Barbarian king.
Today's barbarian king Zhu Rong, due to health reasons, lives in seclusion behind the scenes. Some of the Nanzhong barbarians are led by Sou King Gaoding, and the other part is led by Meng Huo, the barbarian leader of Yizhou County.
If Liu Chan can get the support of the Barbarian King Zhu Rong, the entire situation in Nanzhong will indeed become much clearer.
"Can you contact the Barbarian King?"
Li Ming shook his head and said: "I can't contact the Barbarian King. The Barbarian King is weak and sick and is no longer in charge."
Liu Chan had a look of disappointment on his face.
"But the common people can contact Princess Zhu Rong, the daughter of the Barbarian King."
Princess Zhurong?
Liu Chan thought about it and knew who Princess Zhu Rong was.
I'm afraid she will become Meng Huo's wife in the future, and she will be called Mrs. Zhu Rong.
"Bring me a letter and give it to Princess Zhu Rong."
Liu Chan also figured it out.
"promise."
Businessman Li Ming accepted the order and then said: "Young master, I have other instructions."
"How many people can you draw in Nanzhong County?"
Even though Li Ming was just a merchant, he was able to do business in Chengdu and Nanzhong. If he didn't have any manpower, he would have been eaten up by others.
"Up to a thousand people."
Thousands of people?
Liu Chan nodded slightly.
"That's enough."
That's right, this businessman Li Ming is Liu Chan's internal correspondent in Nanzhong.
"At that time, you will be the internal response and you will be able to defeat the bandit army."
Liu Chan stepped forward and took Li Ming's hand and said, "I heard that you have a son who is very smart. The martial arts hall needs such talents. I also need a personal guard by my side. Can I part with him?"
Li Ming understood what Liu Chan meant and quickly knelt down.
"My son's being able to be reused by the young master is really a blessing that my useless son has cultivated for eight lifetimes. Don't worry, young master. As soon as I return to Nanzhong, I will definitely gather my men and run for the young master!"
He, Li Ming, took such a big risk to come here and risked his life and fortune, not just for the sake of his family and his son.
No matter how rich a businessman is, his status is just that of a merchant, and he can only become an official. If the son of an official's son becomes a Confucian scholar and becomes a family of Confucian scholars, his family will change from the original status of a merchant to one of officials. It has become a family of nobles.
As a merchant, if you want to become an official, you will naturally have to take some unusual paths.
Such as now.
"Okay, that's it, your Excellency will be able to handle the matter in Nanzhong."
"Serving the young master is my blessing, Li Ming!"
After discussing some matters about Nanzhong with Li Ming, the latter also withdrew.
"Son."
After Li Ming left, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and others also came forward.
"I didn't expect that the situation in Nanzhong was beyond my expectation. It seems that my status as a brat has been underestimated."
Xiang Chong, the number one fan, took a step forward and said, "Then they don't know the master's wisdom. If they have fought against the master, they will not dare to look down upon him."
"No!"
Liu Chan was not unhappy about being looked down upon by others.
Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the enemy underestimates him, so he can take advantage of the enemy's contempt and deliver a fatal blow!
"Yong Kai underestimates me. It proves that he won't move too fast. Then we can take advantage of this time to eliminate his allies!"
For example, Zhu Bao, the governor of Xianxian County, and Gaoding, the king of Yueqi Yi, are all people who can solve the problem in advance.
"Master, are you going to send troops?"
Liu Chan nodded.
"The prince's army is all elite, and there are as many as 300 military and righteous followers. Collect 600 elites, and bring along the servants and civilians. The total will become an army of 3,000 people, which can be the central army."
Liu Chan glanced at the staff of his Young Master's Mansion.
"Do you have confidence?"
Guan Xing said on the spot: "Don't worry, young master, if we go to war, Yong Kai will be captured alive."
Xiang Chong clenched his fist and hammered his chest, shouting: "The barbarian soldiers are vulnerable to a single blow. If we and other elite soldiers enter Nanzhong, we will surely put down this rebellion like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!"
Zhao Yue, a ranger from Yizhou who had just passed the monthly examination and was appointed as an official, was also on the list.
"I am training hard in the martial arts hall for the day when I will make great achievements. When I set off, I will definitely not let you down!"
Liu Chan looked at his team with relief.
Each one of them is like a newborn calf, not afraid of the sky or the earth, very energetic and energetic.
"We must despise the enemy strategically, but we must pay attention to the enemy tactically. Although there are many barbarians in the four counties of Nanzhong, if we underestimate them, we will be the ones with the missing heads."
"We'll know."
"good!"
Liu Chan stood up and put his hand on the sword on his waist.
Clang!
He pulled out the sword directly, pointed the sword in the direction, and said: "In three days, send troops to Nanzhong!"
"promise!"
After receiving the order, everyone made preparations. Liu Chan went from the Gongzi Mansion to the Chengdu Mansion Office and met Dong He, Wu Yi, Xu Jing, Li Hui, Li Yan and others.
"The situation in South China has reached a point where there is no room for improvement. In three days, troops will be used against South China."
After reading the information obtained from businessman Li Ming, everyone looked heavy.
"Since this has been decided for a long time, I will not object."
Dong He immediately expressed his support.
"I have already informed my lord of this matter as quickly as possible. It's just that there is a long distance between Chengdu and Hanzhong. If we wait for a reply, I'm afraid the war in Nanzhong has started."
Everyone is not pedantic.
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted!
"Don't worry, sir, I have three thousand people under my command, ready to leave at any time!" Li Yan, who was wearing armor, also told Liu Chan.
"I will leave the matter of food and logistics to Mr. Dong."
Liu Chan looked at Dong He, who bowed to Liu Chan and said loudly: "The spring plowing has been completed, the taxes of the Salt Mansion have doubled, and the grain and grass matters are supported by the powerful forces of Shu County, so there is no need to worry, and there is no such thing as this expedition." There are too many troops dispatched, and there is not much logistical pressure.”
Liu Chan had three thousand men under his command, and Li Yan had three thousand men from Jianwei County.
There are only six thousand people in total.
There are still more than 10,000 Chengdu defenders. Even those who are interested in Chengdu have to weigh the Chengdu defenders with more than 10,000 people.
"In this case, three days later, the army will march out of Chengdu, and the sword will guide the target!"
