When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, and said to Sun Chuanting: "Master Governor, why do you have to wait for the war in Shu to subside before meeting the Duke?"
After asking, he wanted to go to war for Sun Chuanting. However, even if they go on an expedition, they will not see the Duke until the war in Shu has subsided!
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting was surprised as to why he asked such a question, but he was in a good mood at this time, so he replied casually: "The Duke is in Hanzhong, and I am in Shu. Of course, I have to wait for Shu to be pacified before going to Hanzhong Mansion!" "
"..." When Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo heard this, they looked at each other, neither of them said anything, they just laughed silently.
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was a little unhappy. What on earth did these two people mean that they were like this?
Seeing that his face turned cold, Li Dingguo quickly put away his smile and explained: "The Duke is right behind, and he will probably arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"What?" When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was immediately shocked and asked in an unbelievable tone, "You said the Duke is here too?"
Seeing Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu nodding together, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but said angrily: "What a child's play! With such a status as a prince, how can he take such a big risk? Isn't there anyone who can persuade him? If there is an accident, who will be responsible?"
"The Duke said that he is responsible for himself!" Li Dingguo heard this and said seriously with admiration, "I and everyone, including Princess Kunxing, all advised the Duke together. But the Duke As he said, he asked us to take the risk to enter Shu, so of course he will do the same. If it is dangerous, doesn’t it mean that the soldiers are not in danger? Therefore, no matter who persuades us, it is useless. "
When Liu Wenxiu heard this, he remembered the military meeting and the scene when all the soldiers in the army heard the news. He also added with great admiration: "The Duke said, for the sake of the country and the people, we must work together as soon as possible." Bringing peace to the world cannot be achieved by just talking."
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was really stunned!
As the Duke of Xingguo, he was the governor of military affairs in Hanzhong, so no one could say anything to him!
However, he didn't do this!
At this moment, Sun Chuanting looked at the imperial officers and soldiers under Duke Xingguo in front of him, and he understood why their morale was so high!
There is such an important court minister as Duke Xingguo in the world, he will definitely be able to revive the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt confident about the future.
Li Dingguo looked at Sun Chuanting and smiled again at this time and said: "Don't worry too much, Governor-General. The Duke has thought of many ways to reduce the danger. We have come here to clear the way for the following army, so that the people behind can move better. , Therefore, both the Duke and the Princess will be fine!"
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt a sense of urgency. The Duke and Princess have such noble status, but they are still so desperate. If he doesn't pay more attention, he will not be able to justify it no matter what!
Thinking like this, he immediately thought about how to make his men have such high morale as the Duke's men!
In addition, he also wanted to know more about Duke Xingguo, so he asked Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, the two generals who arrived earlier, about Duke Xingguo.
After this question, it was two days.
Some of it was what Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu had personally experienced, and some of it was what they heard from the military commander Pao Ze. In short, they all told Sun Chuanting.
………………
When Zhang Mingwei passed the Shu Road, Sun Chuanting had already led his generals, big and small, and they were all waiting respectfully.
"Sun Chuanting, the governor of Sanbian, I have met the Duke!" Even though Sun Chuanting saw that Zhang Mingwei was so young, he still said sincerely with admiration.
Since ancient times, there have been bright stars, leaving a dazzling mark in the long history.
Sun Chuanting, who was convinced by Duke Xingguo, believed that he had witnessed another shining star!
After passing the Shu Road, Zhang Mingwei was naturally happy, and this time he passed the Shu Road because he was fully prepared and there were very few unexpected attrition, which made him feel even better.
Although I didn't know Sun Chuanting before, there were only two officials in red and crimson robes in Sichuan. One of them is in Chengdu. Needless to say, the person in front of me is Sun Chuanting, who has left a great reputation in history.
Seeing Sun Chuanting himself, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but shake his head. The "Sun Chuanting" in later movies and TV dramas simply didn't have the elegant and murderous aura of the Sun Chuanting in front of him. Even if they look the same, they can tell Li Kui and Li Gui at once!
"Governor Sun is not too polite!" Zhang Mingwei looked at you for a while and said with a smile, "I have admired you for a long time! I saw you today. I really admire Governor Sun's demeanor. He is also the Optimus Prime of the country. !”
Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing, who was standing next to him, laughed out loud when she heard this. She knew that because her husband came from a later generation, there was a saying from later generations: "If the court dies, the Ming Dynasty will die." It can be seen from this that I am afraid that sir is also a fan of the person in front of me? It seems to be the word fan, right?
Sun Chuanting didn't expect that he would be rated so highly in the eyes of Duke Xingguo!
Even if Duke Xingguo was just being polite, of course he was still very happy when Duke Xingguo said this.
So, when he was about to be humble, he suddenly heard the clear laughter of a woman. When he turned around, he knew the identity of the woman next to the Duke, and he quickly greeted her again: "I have met Her Royal Highness Princess Kunxing! "
Naturally, Zhu Ainao asked him not to be polite, and said to him with a smile: "Sir, I often praise you, and I saw you today, and it turns out that you are right!"
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even Princess Kunxing said this, so it must be that Duke Xingguo really mentioned him and said good things about him.
This means that Duke Xingguo really didn’t treat him politely just now!
After thinking about this, Sun Chuanting's eyes suddenly turned red!
In the past, he fought for the Ming Dynasty, but in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, when he rushed all the way to the capital to serve as King Qin, he was imprisoned for four or five years!
To be honest, he was actually feeling aggrieved and angry. He worked hard and served his country with loyalty, but not only was he not rewarded, he was framed and imprisoned!
Sun Chuanting was actually disappointed with the imperial court and the current emperor. But as a human minister, thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness, and you must receive it.
Even when he was ordered to do something in danger, he still led the troops to fight without any regrets.
Do you want to say that Sun Chuanting didn't know the consequences of offending the squire? That's absolutely impossible! He's not stupid!
However, in order to suppress thieves and fulfill their duties faithfully, so what if they offend the squire?
In the end, Sun Chuanting continued to implement his policy of clearing the villages and replenishing wages. While continuing to offend the squires, he fought for the country without regrets!
But even so, if your efforts can be recognized, who wouldn't be willing?
At this time, Sun Chuanting never expected that the powerful Duke Xingguo would recognize him so much. This made him release the grievances he had hidden in his heart for many years. It was reasonable for his eyes to turn red. .
However, he immediately felt that he had lost his composure in front of the Duke and the Princess, so he quickly covered it up and said: "The wind and snow outside are so strong that they are blinded by the wind. Please ask the Princess and the Duke to follow me to the sword pavilion to rest!"
Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei did not criticize it, but pretended not to see it. He nodded immediately and said: "It is indeed a heavy snowstorm, so please lead the way!"
Zhu Yusao was amused when she heard this. These two people, the two biggest officials in the Ming Dynasty here, were telling lies together. Is it too windy or snowy? There is a bit of wind, but as for the snow, there are a few scattered ones, but is it also very heavy?
Of course, as smart as she is, she will naturally not tell the truth and go along with him.
………………
After arriving at Jiange, after taking a short rest, Zhang Mingwei was not idle and immediately held a military meeting.
First, Sun Chuanting reported the situation in Shu, as explained on the map of Shu.
Perhaps it was because of Zhang Mingwei's encouragement just now, or perhaps seeing the reinforcements arriving so quickly. In short, Sun Chuanting was obviously a little excited. Others might not be able to detect it, but Sun Da and others, as his trusted servants, could feel it. .
To be honest, they were also happy, not only for the situation in Shu that was about to change, but also for their master.
After Sun Chuanting introduced the current situation, he suggested to Zhang Mingwei: "The bandits must not know that the Duke's reinforcements have arrived, and they will definitely be caught off guard. How about killing him first?"
Zhang Mingwei heard this but did not answer immediately.
The situation in Shu is indeed quite serious. Not to mention that there was no news from the Chengdu Prefecture, but Gao Jie was the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, and he was surrounded and annihilated by Li Zicheng's men.
After thinking carefully for a while, Zhang Mingwei stood up, walked to the map, frowned and said: "My idea is to pick the weak ones first! Instead of attacking Li Zicheng's troops, attack Zuo Liangyu's troops first. department!"
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Zhang Mingwei didn't wait for him to ask, so he explained: "Although it is unexpected to cross the Shu Road at this time, it is indeed quite sad. This time, we cannot bring more food and grass, so this food and grass is a problem, we must Solve it first, this is one of them!”
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting listened attentively, and at the same time he was a little curious, wanting to know to what extent Duke Xingguo was in military affairs.
"In addition, the northern Sichuan side is very mountainous, and what I brought are all cavalry troops!" Zhang Mingwei continued, pointing to the Chengdu Prefecture with his hand and said, "The Chengdu Plain is where the cavalry troops roam freely. Regardless of whether the Chengdu Prefecture is still insisting, attacking the Chengdu Prefecture first will not only facilitate the cavalry battle, but also control the wealthy areas first, which will facilitate the subsequent war in Shu."
The richest place in Sichuan still belongs to the Chengdu Plain, which is also the most densely populated place. The Chongqing side is mainly hilly and there are quite a few high hills.
If we control the Chengdu Plain first and then move eastward, it will definitely be easier to fight than fighting from the north to the south of Sichuan.
After Sun Chuanting listened, he thought carefully for a while and then nodded in agreement.
