Chen Anshi, who fell into the trap, did not dare to stay any longer after he woke up, and hurriedly returned to the inner city with the remaining troops.
…
"So, what you are saying is that of the more than 7,000 troops, two or three thousand were burned to death. In addition, the Shu people also took away the batch of grain and grass."
"I haven't paid any money..." Chen Anshi said painfully.
Bang.
In front of Chen Anshi, a man who looked like a fat wealthy businessman raised his hand coldly and overturned the tea cup on the table to the ground.
"Chen Anshi, we all believe in you. You are so stupid that you fell into the Shu people's plan!"
"Master, the Shu people may have found something before. Furthermore... the person who used the trick this time is most likely the poisonous owl from Western Shu."
"Poisonous osprey." The wealthy businessman remained silent and closed his eyes.
"This time, I originally thought that the food crisis in Xishu would be increased a little bit. Now it's better, the poisonous owl really took action, and you and I miscalculated. Not only was the switch between the official road and the trail, in addition, he also Borrowing the power of Donglai's army. If this man were alive, he would be truly terrifying."
"Master, Donglai really can't win over you."
"madness."
The wealthy businessman raised his hand and slapped Chen Anshi hard in the face. Immediately, one of Chen Anshi's cheeks swelled up.
"Don't forget, Yuan Song's surname is Yuan! The royal family surnamed Yuan has died in Cangzhou, and everyone in the world knows it! I won over him and supported him. Do I want to support the second Yuan Dynasty? Now , only the new dynasty can maximize our interests. Therefore, this is why I insist on choosing the King of Yuzhou. Now it seems that he has the best chance to seize the country. "
"It's a pity that this Chang boy is so inexperienced that he doesn't welcome our attachment."
"Master, the King of Yuzhou has lost many people in Dingzhou."
The wealthy businessman frowned, "I thought before that he wanted to join forces with Xishu. But now it seems that this kid has a really bad temper. Before his injuries healed, he wanted to be beaten and killed. Of course, as I said before, this trick is extremely clever, and it will temporarily put aside the conflict with the inner city family."
"I heard that in the inner city, the military advisor Zhongde also put the heads of eight aristocratic families under house arrest to order many aristocratic families to temporarily stop the commotion."
"Master, what should we do?"
The wealthy businessman closed his eyes, with hatred in his voice.
"As I said before, if Xu Buyi is not destroyed, we will die without a burial place until the new dynasty is established. This is not an empty lie."
"Chen Anshi, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. No matter what method you use, you will provoke a war between Donglai and Xishu."
"These two are both enemies. It would be best if they could fight each other."
Chen Anshi nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, Master, I will try my best this time."
"It's not about trying your best." The wealthy businessman's eyes were cold, "It's about succeeding. Chen Anshi, you should know my methods."
Chen Anshi's scalp felt cold and he expressed his position hurriedly.
"A certain Chen Anshi is willing to atone for his sins."
"Very good."
…
Seven or eight days later, on the other side of Xishu, there was a scene of joyful dancing.
With a large number of grain trucks, they passed through Laizhou and Kezhou, took the waterway to Bailu County, and then entered Sichuan from Banan City and rushed back to Chengdu.
Previously, because of the "burning of the granary", the soldiers and civilians in Shuzhou all beat their chests and stamped their feet in sorrow. Now, because this batch of grain and grass has arrived in Shu, it has aroused the confidence of the military and civilians.
"Brother Sheng, this is my brother Sheng!" The most excited person at the gate of Chengdu was none other than Si Hu. Si Hu, who didn't know it, saw Chen Sheng returning with grain after eating multi-grain steamed buns for several days. He couldn't help but shouted like a child with red eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, my son Meng Huo! Steamed buns, I have steamed buns to eat today!"
Xu Mu, who was standing at the gate of the city, was excited when he saw Chen Sheng returning safely. Jia Zhou, the biggest contributor, was leaning on a cane and smiling.
"My brother Sheng is a hero in the world." Xu Mu took a few steps forward and punched Chen Sheng's chest.
The Chen Sheng in front of him is no longer the Wangzhou horseman he used to be. He finally has his own reputation.
"Lord, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my destiny." Chen Sheng also beat his chest with one arm excitedly. After losing his arm in Wangzhou, what he feared most was to become a useless person, unable to fight for his boss and fight for the world.
"Chen Sheng, you did a good job." Jia Zhou also praised, "It is the true nature of a general to remain calm in the face of danger."
"Thank you, lord, thank you, military advisor..."
Xu Mu turned his head and looked at Jia Zhou. From each other's eyes, some kind of plan could be seen. In fact, among the five former horsemen, he wanted to develop Chen Sheng into a general and use him as a direct lineage. It's a pity that when he first attacked Wangzhou, Chen Sheng broke his arm heroically.
Furthermore, for people like Chen Sheng, leading troops in war is just like a layman. You know, people will die in war. There are countless loyal bones buried in the seventy-mile cemetery outside Chengdu.
If there is a good choice, Xu Mu does not want to let the old brothers in this team leave one by one. But he understood that deep down in Chen Sheng's heart, he had always yearned for battlefields, military exploits, and sword-to-sword fights.
"Lord, let me tell you." Jia Zhou looked calmly and looked at Chen Sheng in front of him.
"Chen Sheng, I just discussed with my lord. If you are willing, you can enter the general hall and study for a period of time. In the future, you can become my general in Western Shu. How about that?"
"Military, military advisor! Lord, I am willing! I, Chen Sheng, am willing!" Chen Sheng knelt down excitedly and clenched his fist with one arm.
"Lord, look, I'm telling you that our logistics general has always wanted to go to the battlefield." Jia Zhou turned around and said with a smile.
Xu Mu hesitated, "Brother Sheng, even if you become a general, you can't charge like a reckless man. As a general, you should sit in the base camp, observe the battle, and establish the power of the army."
"Don't worry, my lord, I, Chen Sheng, will listen to whatever you say."
Xu Mu's face was moved, and without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and helped Chen Sheng up.
"Starting from tomorrow, you will go to the General Hall to study. If you learn something, I will transfer you to the front line of the war."
Again, he prefers loyal and brave people to talents. After all, loyal and brave people can be cultivated, but those without virtue will definitely cause huge damage to the entire Xishu regime if they are capricious.
"Lord...Chen Sheng accepts the order!" Chen Sheng had a firm face and an upright posture.
"I hope that one day, when someone talks about you, Chen Sheng, they will no longer laugh at your broken arm. Instead, they will only say that there is a general in Western Shu who has a broken arm, who is victorious in every battle, and is incredibly brave!"
"Lord, military advisor, please rest assured, I will do my best."
"Of course I am, brother Xinsheng."
This time the food and grass matter made Xu Mu make up his mind. Otherwise, these old brothers brought from Wangzhou would have been doing logistics work for various reasons.
If these people didn't know each other, if they didn't come out of Wangzhou together. The most likely possibility is that due to ancient class antagonisms, even if they had not died in troubled times, the descendants of these five horsemen and drivers would still be poor and uncertain about the future.
But now, the Xishu regime, which started from its humble beginnings, has given people like Chen Sheng the opportunity to fight and fight.
"Brother Sheng, make me famous all over the world!"
