In Changyang Palace, three people sat in silence.
But not long after, after hearing Chang Shiro's suggestion, not only Chang Sheng, but also Liu Chen, who was new to the account, looked shocked.
"My lord, do you mean not to start a war with Xi Shu for the time being?"
"Indeed." Changshiro sighed, "Sometime ago... someone sent a secret letter. The secret letter said that Sha Rong behind you seems to be taking advantage of the opportunity to attack."
There were all smart people present. Just listening to Chang Shiro's words, Chang Sheng and Liu Chen fell into deep thought.
"My lord is worried that if Beiyu and Xishu go to war, Sha Rong will take the opportunity to take over the Central Plains." Liu Chen spoke first.
"Pingde, very good." Chang Silang breathed out, "Although General Le Qing is guarding the Hezhou side, I always feel that this time Sha Rong may be different from the previous Beidi people. I heard that King Sha Rong was a grassland hero who emerged once in a thousand years. At the beginning, he dared to lead 50,000 Sha Rong people and defeated Beidi's army of more than 200,000."
"The intelligence said that after King Sha Rong captured the entire Saibei grassland, he did not even kill all the Tuoba royal court in Beidi, but only allowed them to leave the grassland. In this way, he gained the support of many Beidi people." Chang Sheng He frowned and said, "From what my lord said, this King Sha Rong is indeed an extraordinary person."
"Chang Sheng, take a good look, it's been a hundred or two hundred years. Every time the Di people attacked the city before, they took advantage of the opportunity and tried to invade our country in the Central Plains. You know, I hate this kind of thing the most in my life. matter."
"Lord." Changshiro gathered his words and continued to speak.
"I don't have any objection to the truce for two or three months. I said before that Pingde is planning and planning, and it will take time after all. These two or three months will be the preparation for the decisive battle."
"I have read the letter. Pingde's suggestion for foot combat is very good." Chang Shiro rubbed his forehead, "That little boss...that king of Western Shu's riding skills are indeed unparalleled in the world. But just by himself In terms of foot combat, Beiyu is still much stronger."
After receiving Chang Shiro's satisfactory answer, both Chang Sheng and Liu Chen were completely relieved.
"Lord." Liu Chen calmed down and spoke, "As we all know, Hezhou in Beiyu has always been an important place to resist foreigners. If the time comes, the Sha Rong people attack the city, and the King of Western Shu sends troops to form a pincer attack—— "
"Pingde, you are too worried." Chang Silang interrupted, "Others dare not tell me. I still know the character of the King of Western Shu. If Sha Rong really raises troops to attack Hezhou, at this time, Western Shu The king will not attack from both sides. Regarding this, I can guarantee with my life. If not, he would not have left the great minister and assistant behind and instead went to reject Beidi."
Liu Chen was silent for a moment, without refuting, and nodded.
"Brother, despite this, there are still things to worry about right now. For example, the old aristocratic families in the inner city are probably unwilling. They want a quick decisive battle between Western Shu and Northern Chongqing."
"As you can guess, the King of Western Shu has also guessed it... I have received information. In a few days, there will be envoys from Western Shu going to Changyang as envoys."
"Could it be that the King of Western Shu's appearance was just for the old family to see?" Chang Sheng thought for a while and suddenly understood the meaning.
"That's almost it." Chang Shiro's voice was quite helpless, "Maybe you don't understand, but the King of Western Shu... still has the same temper, it really hasn't changed at all."
Back then, in order to reject Beidi, even the prime minister and assistant minister quit his job.
"Lord, where are the old families? We finally need a reason to temporarily convince them."
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it." Chang Shiro raised his head, "It will only take two or three days before the Shu envoy enters Changyang. Now I only hope that in these two or three days, I can kill the one who dares to assassinate Find out all the bastards!"
Chang Sheng, who was standing by, listened, his mind trembling, and he felt that there might be some connection between them.
"There is no need for you to rush back to Lizhou in the next few days. Pingde, I will ask Chang Wei to treat you later and stay in a mansion temporarily. If you have family or friends, it doesn't hurt to come with you."
"Thank you, Lord." Liu Chen did not refuse. He knew very well that under the generous reward, the lord in front of him was waiting for him to take the lead.
"There was something else I wanted to discuss with you. But in the past two or three days, I always had something I couldn't figure out, so I simply stayed in Changyang. After two days, you can come back to the palace and discuss it with me."
Chang Sheng and Liu Chen looked at each other and clasped their fists.
Tsuneshiro stood up and looked at the two staff in front of him.
"The envoy from Xishu is afraid that the old family will kill people and ruin this short period of time to stop the war. I have asked Chang Wei to go and greet him personally. When the time comes, you two will meet with me."
"Lord's order."
…
Riding on the horse, Xu Mu raised his head, looked at the outline of Dingdong Pass in front of him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After passing Dingdong Pass and entering Lizhou, we are about to reach Dawan Pass.
I don’t know if Chang Laosi clearly read the content of the letter. To put it into detail, he and Chang Laosi... must not have seen each other for two or three years.
It's a pity that Chang Laosi had already made it clear at the beginning. Unless it is a time of mourning, they refuse to see each other.
The meaning is that Western Shu and Northern Chongqing need to decide the winner before the two can meet.
"Lord, what's wrong?" Chen Fang, who was following him, saw Xu Mu's expression was wrong and asked hurriedly and worriedly.
"Nothing." Xu Mu smiled, "Mr. Chen, when you enter Dawan Pass, why not rest for a night first, catch the wind and wash away the dust, and then go visit your friends tomorrow."
"Very good, I'm not in a hurry." There was no hesitation in Chen Fang's tone.
This time, Xu Mu looked a little weird. Of course, he didn't think much about it. The rotten scholar who wrote about the world had always had a strange temper.
Furthermore, after entering Dayuan Pass, there were many things that he needed to discuss with Dongfang Jing again. The third force in the South China Sea, King Sha Rong's personal visit to the Central Plains, and the letter sent by General Li who conquered the north...etc., he finally needed a wise adviser to discuss good strategies with him.
After the fighting in the spring, although the fighting has stopped now, everything seems to be calm. But from north to south, from west to east, Xu Mu has understood that the Central Plains of these thirty states seems to be undercurrent again.
And the big ship Xishu sailed toward the shore with difficulty in the strong wind, heavy rain, and huge waves.
