The next day, early morning.
Xu Mu, who was still in his dream, suddenly heard Yin Hu's voice.
"Lord, something bad has happened. Mr. Chen has left the city with two or three disciples!"
"Chen Fang is leaving the city?"
"Indeed, he said he wanted to help the master and go to Beiyu as an envoy."
Xu Mu was shocked. After discussing with Dongfang Jing last night, he went back to find Yin Hu. With Yin Hu's temper, he naturally didn't say anything and patted his chest to take over the envoy's task.
"My lord... after my lord left last night, Mr. Chen suddenly got some wine and came to see me. He asked me a lot about my interests as an envoy. Seeing that he was not an outsider and a fellow countryman, I almost told him everything. .”
Xu Mu sighed. Chen Fang followed from Liangzhou and had probably already planned it.
"Yin Hu, has the little military advisor risen?"
"Already...waiting for my lord."
After hearing this, Xu Mu did not delay and hurried towards the city with Yin Hu. Sure enough, when they reached the city wall, they immediately saw Dongfang Jing sitting in meditation.
At this time, Dongfang Jing turned his head and looked at Xu Mu walking towards him, his face still very calm.
"Little military advisor, Mr. Chen Fang is out of the city." Yin Hu, who followed, sounded anxious. It's not that he is worried about being robbed of credit, but that if Chen Fang goes like this, he will most likely be in danger.
You know, he was the one who stepped into the fire, so how could he keep his conscience at ease?
"I understand."
"The previous information is indeed——"
"It's not intelligence. I guessed it last night." Dongfang Jing sighed.
Xu Mu, who was nearby, couldn't help but grimace when he thought of the conversation with Dongfang Jing last night.
"Please forgive me, my lord." Dongfang Jingping bowed his hands, "My lord, you should know that if I had said it last night, my lord would have definitely dissuaded me. If so, the mission would have been delayed. Besides, Mr. Yin Hu is not the right person. The best candidate. And when Chen Fang leaves, there will be a Confucian, and he is not a general or staff member of Western Shu. He just needs to be more secure, or there will be no big disaster."
After a pause, Dongfang Jing glanced sideways and looked at Yin Hu next to him.
"If my guess is correct, Chen Fang must have looked for Mr. Yin before going on the mission."
"Exactly..."
"That's right. For this mission, Chen Fang has made thorough preparations and is not going there rashly. I know your lord is worried, but compared to Mr. Yin Hu, Chen Fang is the most suitable envoy. Therefore. , I didn’t inform you before.”
Xu Mu was silent for a while and understood Dongfang Jing's painstaking efforts. Such a wise and demon-like person has extremely long-term thinking.
"Don't worry, my lord, to prevent any unexpected events, I sent a secret message last night to the night owls in the inner city. Before Chen Fang enters Chongqing, he can build momentum as a Confucian and encourage the people to welcome him."
"Little military advisor, I heard that Chang Sheng is also in the inner city now——"
"Of course I know, but there is no problem. If it were wartime, he might find a way to destroy Ye Xiao's momentum. But for now, not only do we in Xishu need truce time, but Beiyu also needs time to face it A foreign race outside Hezhou. He understands this truth very well and will not expose my strategy. He is always victorious, and even if the old families find out, they will be a step too late after all."
After listening, Yin Hu took a breath and saluted Dongfang seriously. The strategic strategist of Xishu in front of him, with his demonic wisdom, has solved too many problems for Xishu.
"My lord, Mr. Yin, don't be anxious, just wait quietly."
"Bo Lie is really wise." Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh. After Jia Zhou's death, Dongfang Jing made an almost seamless transition and took on the strategic responsibility of Western Shu.
…
"Teacher, we are already arriving at Sizhou."
Starting from Lizhou and passing through Sizhou, we are not far from Changyanggu. Although there were only a few of them, the few disciples who took them out of the city this time were all familiar with the six arts and could fight off ordinary bandits together.
At this time, listening to the words of his disciples, Chen Fang raised his head and looked at the outline of the Sizhou border city gate in front of him, his brows deep in thought.
Different from Lizhou, the terrain in Sizhou, except for the section where the state is connected, the rest is mostly mountains and valleys.
"Teacher, I just remembered something."
"What's the matter?" Chen Fang was stunned.
"As an envoy this time, I am indispensable for the courtesy, just like the face of Western Shu, I should have some ceremonial cars."
Chen Fang smiled and said, "It's no big deal. When we get closer to Changyang City, I can buy a few pieces of calligraphy and painting in cursive script. It will be a generous gift."
"Teacher is a great scholar..."
"I have always disliked red tape. Otherwise, I would not have cursed at the meeting."
Several disciples paused and smiled.
"Don't delay, continue on your way, and try to enter Changyang tomorrow. If anyone blocks it, take out the Shu envoy's token. When I return to Dawan Pass in the future, I will confess to little brother Yin Hu."
"Keep on going." A more stable disciple spoke loudly after a while. Immediately, a total of four or five riders gathered around a carriage and continued towards the inner city.
The news of the envoy from Shu entering Chongqing spread throughout the inner city as if it had wings. Many old families couldn't help but become furious after hearing this information.
Now Beiyu and Xishu are at odds with each other. Furthermore, they want to help Beiyu unify the country and continue the family's wealth as quickly as possible.
It's better now. The Shu envoys entering Chongqing are most likely begging for a truce.
"Xie Chang, what do you think?" In a large and extremely luxurious room, several old men looked at Xie Chang in the field.
Although he was only from a low-income family, everyone in the inner city knew that Xie Chang was quite smart, so there was no harm in asking.
Xie Chang hurriedly came out of the queue, first bowed his hands and made a gesture, and then slowly spoke.
"Dear family heads, it is absolutely inappropriate for the Shu envoy to come to Chongqing! We all know that the Shu envoy coming this time is most likely for peace talks. But the peace talks must be the most vicious plan of the Shu people."
"Xie Chang, what do you say?"
Xie Chang hurriedly handed over his hand again, "After the peace talks, the Shu people will secretly recruit troops and plan. Don't forget, many people in Western Shu have died in the previous Spring War. Let him secretly recruit troops and continue to make plans. We, Beiyu, will I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to swallow up the world. In my opinion, we in Beiyu should fight quickly and make a quick decision. Starting a war with Xishu is the right way!"
Xie Chang's words were extremely in line with the interests of the old aristocratic families, and soon won the approval of many people.
The eyes of the old aristocrats became slightly stern, and then became gloomy.
"We will go to the palace immediately and explain the interests and risks to the lord! How can I, the Northern Chongqing, negotiate peace with Xishu! Everyone, we need to unite and convince the lord!"
In the luxurious house, many heads of aristocratic families chimed in from time to time.
Standing among the crowd, Xie Chang seemed to be smiling but not smiling. No one discovered that he was actually King Sharon's man. But no matter what, as long as the provocation is successful and Beiyu and Xishu start a war quickly, then he will probably make an immortal contribution this round.
"I will enter the palace quickly and ask to see the lord!" Xie Chang shouted loudly. For a time, the echoing voices from all around became louder and louder.
