Yang Zhan retreated to Chengdu and set up camp on the ruins. Shu soldiers who came from all over also camped together, with a radius of several miles, forming a city wall.

The general's tent was erected on the site of the Shu palace, with cloth as a curtain and all the halls and rooms, temporarily serving as the military and political center of the Shu kingdom.

At the first meeting, the civil and military officials were in a huge quarrel. The civil officials advocated not to pursue Zhang Xianzhong, but to rebuild their homes and resume production as soon as possible. The military attache advocated pursuing Zhang Xianzhong to the end, killing Zhang Xianzhong, and avenging the people of Shu.

Even their brothers were divided into two factions. Xiao Jin and Jian Kuan believed in the words of the King of Shu, and God would deal with Zhang Xianzhong. In these troubled times, no one, whether it was the Qing army or the Nan Ming Dynasty, could tolerate Zhang Xianzhong, so it was better to let them fight.

The people of Shu have suffered great disasters before and should take a breather and recuperate.

Yuan Hong strives hard to destroy Zhang Xianzhong now, but when? Waiting for him to establish a foothold in northern Sichuan, if he does not fight against the Qing army and turns around to seize territory, won't he never have peace?

Although Lan Lan and Jing Xin did not speak, they supported Yuan Hong in their hearts. They thought more deeply that the world was in chaos. Only by killing powerful enemies like Zhang Xianzhong one by one would the world be able to build a new order.

Yang Zhan pursed his lips and smiled bitterly. What everyone said made sense. Wouldn't it be better if he could not only kill Zhang Xianzhong, but also rebuild the Kingdom of Shu and protect the people of Shu?

In the flash of lightning, he suddenly remembered the nursery rhyme compiled by his master at the beginning of the year, "March is dry, April is dry, officials are buried and killed in May and June, and mountains of heads are piled in July and August. Born in Yanziling, died in

Phoenix Mountain." The first few sentences almost come true, but are the last two sentences also destined by fate?

He asked: "Do you know where Phoenix Mountain is?"

Several people from northern Sichuan were surprised and immediately replied: "There is Phoenix Mountain in Xichong!"

Yang Zhan said: "Although I am not as good at calculating as Mr. Zhuge, my master Ge Bao has already calculated that Zhang Xianzhong will die in Phoenix Mountain. Therefore, I decided to obey the King of Shu's will, let the tiger return to the mountain, and let God deal with him."

His final decision made all the civil and military officials a little uneasy. Fei Xiaojin, the Minister of Household Affairs, uneasily adjusted the blindfold on his right eye and said, "General, you should reconsider it. After all, it involves the national destiny of the Kingdom of Shu."

Seeing that Kuan Geng was frightened by Yang Zhan's rash decision, he said incoherently: "General, you! Are you really going to let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Those generals who advocated pursuing and fighting were even more dissatisfied. They either bowed to the ground and begged, or argued with fists raised. Jingxin opened his mouth and looked stupidly at this and that, his mother

The people nearby just sneered.

Yang Zhan did not explain. He sat in command and solemnly issued an order: "Liu Jiankuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, will listen to the order and redeploy defenses in various places within three days. We must firmly control all the lost territory of Shu, guard against those who covet it from the surrounding areas, and focus on guarding against the disintegrating troops in the west."

Liu Jiankuan came out to receive the order. As the Minister of War, he only helped Yang Zhan to support Yang Zhan. It was Yang Zhan who had to make decisions on all matters big and small.

"Generals everywhere, listen to orders." Yang Zhan glanced around for a week. No matter whether the military attachés had any opinions, once the general issued an order, he had to bend down and listen to the order. "Everywhere, defense and farming should still be the top priority, and troops should be trained in peacetime.

!”

After Meizhou Governor Tie Jianban accepted the order, he stepped aside and couldn't help but muttered: "If you don't go after Zhang Xianzhong, why do you need to train troops?"

Yang Zhan said in a deep voice: "Not to mention that Zhang Xianzhong has not been reimbursed, even if he is dead, do you think his hundreds of thousands of Western troops will disperse in a hurry? If they disperse, the poison will be even more terrible, and we need to be on guard.

If you are going to chase him, it is better to prepare early. There are also Qing soldiers. Since they have already reached Hanzhong, it will be a matter of time before they enter Sichuan. They will be more difficult to deal with than Zhang Xianzhong!"

Tie Jiaoban was a rough man, but he also had some tricks up his sleeve. He asked, "Does the general want Zhang Xianzhong to fight the Qing soldiers for us when he returns to the mountains?"

Although Yang Zhan had more important things to discuss, he could only reply: "How could Zhang Xianzhong engage in loss-making business? We forced him to take the northern Sichuan route. I guess he was not thinking about fighting the Qing soldiers, but how to avoid them.

Open up the Qing troops!"

The topic returned to the military discussion, and everyone was interested. Yuanhong continued: "He wanted to avoid the Qing soldiers, but now he is heading north. What is his intention?"

Yang Zhan said: "This is the cunning thing about Huang Hu and Zhang Xianzhong! We thought he was going to fight the Qing soldiers and would not pursue us desperately, but he slipped away in the middle. We blocked the Minjiang River, and he could still enter the Yangtze River from the Jialing River."

Yuanhong shouted: "You know his treacherous plan, why do you still fall into it?"

Yang Zhan's proud eyes swept across the hall, and when he met Lan Lan's mocking eyes, he blushed, blinked and said, "The secret must not be leaked."

At this point, everyone understands that it is not that simple for the general to let the tiger return to the mountains. It involves military secrets, so naturally it is not convenient to reveal them here.

Yang Zhan saw the look of surprise on everyone's faces, and all the previous worries no longer existed, so he then ordered, "Fei Xiaojin, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, listen to the order and resume production in various places as soon as possible. In addition, rebuild the capital of Shu and create another one in one year."

Chengyi, two years of Chengdu’s myth!”

Xiao Jin happily accepted the order, and Yang Zhan ordered Yuanhong again, "Shuai Yuanhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will obey the order and select talents in an eclectic way, and recruit officials from all over the country as soon as possible. Within a month, all newly recovered local government offices must be operational."

…………

When the discussion was about to end, Malanlan, the governor of Xuzhou who had been silent, stepped forward and said: "General, I have something to report!"

"What's the matter?" Yang Zhan thought to himself, "Don't you know how to talk about it when you go home?"

Malanlan seemed to see his heart, "Of course, important national events must be reported in public in the hall."

"Okay, you say it, you say it."

"Now that we have recovered the capital of Shu, although we can only use the camp as a palace now, we should welcome back the King of Shu, sit on the throne, and put everything in Shu on the right track."

Yang Zhan's face turned red again. It was indeed a very important thing to say this from someone else's mouth, but when she said it, it sounded like the secret of the boudoir. Lan Lan's thoughts were obvious, and she felt sorry for Yang Zhan.

There are too many burdens on my shoulders, and I feel sad that my husband and wife have been separated for a long time.

He had no choice but to explain patiently, "The King of Shu is recovering from his illness at a critical period. If he sees this ruined city, he will definitely be sad. How can we bear to let him get worse again? Only when the capital of Shu is rebuilt can we welcome him back."

appropriate."

Lan Land said: "People are alive, buildings are dead. I believe that the King of Shu, between protecting the people of Shu and protecting the royal palace of Shu, he will definitely choose the former. If he knew that the demon king who harmed the Shu people was driven away

, you will definitely be happier!”

Yang Zhan couldn't show his expression on his face, but Lan Lan refused. Even Jing Xin blushed, stretched out his hand to pull her and said, "Mom, stop talking!"

Lan Lan cupped her hands, bowed in all directions, and walked out of the meeting hall first. Looking at her back, Yang Zhan felt lost.

Xiao Jin rushed out and shouted: "Junior sister, please stay!"
