"My condition is very simple. Please ensure that there are no troops in Sichuan, and you will never come to Sichuan to collect food and recruit troops!" Yang Zhan stared closely into Wu Sangui's eyes, capturing the changes inside.

"Haha, Lord Shu, your conditions are too ideal. I can do it, but Kangxi can't do it." Wu Sangui felt a little unhappy when he saw Yang Zhan's firm face and no room for accommodation.

"Think about it, if I don't send troops into Sichuan, when the time comes, the Qing army marches straight in from the Shu Road. Can you, the Shujiang Alliance, stop it? Wouldn't it mean that I have opened my northern gate? Not to mention how destructive the Qing army is.

They are not as easy to talk to as me. You can't guarantee the safety of Shu people at all. Once my northern gate is opened, can I still go to Huguang with peace of mind? Besides, if I want to go north, I must enter Shaanxi via Sichuan. Lord Shu, Lord Shu

Lord, you know that in this contest between Kangxi and I, Sichuan’s strategic position is very important. If I occupy it, I will win. If he occupies it, he will win. Who do you choose?"

Yang Zhan wanted to say "I won't choose anyone", but he knew very well that he had to choose.

Seeing that the atmosphere became serious, Wu Sangui patted Yang Zhan on the shoulder and advised: "Forget it, Lord Shu, the deal just now was just a joke. Let's sit down and discuss how to cooperate to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Your Yang

Gongbaji' is famous all over the world. I heard that everyone in the Shujiang League knows it. You organize a Shu army, and I will send another 50,000 people to Sichuan. They will be led by Wu Zhimao and listen to your command. If you win the world, there will be eternal peace, and the people of Shu will naturally be eternal.

quiet."

In order to persuade Yang Zhan, Wu Sangui told him his overall plan on how to raise troops, how to conquer the Central Plains, and how to drive away Kangxi.

Yang Zhan broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. This was going to cause chaos in the world. If this war continued like this, it would not end in decades. If Wu Sangui were thirty years younger, this would indeed be an amazing and grand blueprint.

But he is already in his sixtieth year. If he cannot ensure the end of the war within five years, not to mention Sichuan, the whole world will become hell.

Yang Zhan no longer wants to become a war machine, let alone involve the Shu people he cares about most in the war.

God, what should I do?

Yang Zhan suddenly remembered what Senior Brother Pingxi said, kill Wu Sangui, maybe Kangxi will be grateful to you. He does not need Kangxi's gratitude, but he can fight for peace for the world.

At this time, Wu Sangui was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in front of him, and he could be killed in the blink of an eye.

The shrewd Wu Sangui was undefended in front of Yang Zhan, because he knew that Yang Zhan was a gentleman and a person who always put the people of Shu first.

If Wu Sangui was killed, would the world really be at peace? Once Kangxi was moved, would he really not be able to use troops in Sichuan?

With Wu Sangui present, the group of dragons has a leader, so Yang Zhan only needs to deal with Wu Sangui. Without Wu Sangui, the group of dragons has no leader, and the southwest will be in chaos.

Yang Zhan never wanted to go back to the era of warlord rule. When he thought of the Minjiang River Basin that had become vast and vast, Yang Zhan's heart trembled.

He pushed open the window of Wu Sangui's study, took a deep breath, and praised: "Your Majesty, the osmanthus flowers in your garden are blooming so beautifully."

Wu Sangui was overjoyed and said, "Did Lord Shu agree to my request? You might as well stay with your ladyship for a few more days."

"Haha, Prince, for some reason, I just like to trade with you. This is actually my choice. I chose to trade with you instead of trading with Kangxi!" Yang Zhan's tone became extremely mysterious, and Wu Sangui was suddenly reminded of him.

curiosity.

"Ah, Kangxi also wants to trade with you?"

"That's natural. If it hadn't been for this, I wouldn't have come to bother you."

Yang Zhan looked sincere, but Wu Sangui was a little panicked, "What conditions did he offer you?"

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, it's just asking me to plot against the prince together with him. I have been friends with the prince for more than ten years, and we were both ministers of the Ming Dynasty. How could I cooperate with the Manchus?"

The less he said anything, the more uneasy Wu Sangui became, so he had to put forward the terms of the transaction again.

"In this way, Lord Shu, I will not send troops to the hinterland of Sichuan. I will only send Wu Zhimao to lead 50,000 people to Hanzhong via Sichuan. I can also help you block the Qing army coming from the north."

"Just taking the road?"

"Just take the road, never stop, never disturb the people!"

Yang Zhan was secretly happy, "Okay, I agree to take the road. However, Prince, you must also agree to pay the three million year by year, and in the first year, only gold, silver, firearms, and no food and grass will be given."

"Okay, I agreed! For so many years, Lord Shu has kept his word, and there is nothing he can't believe. But, Lord Shu, your Yang Gong Eight Skills and the power of Shujiang Alliance don't need to be on the battlefield of Xingming to beg captives.

It’s such a pity!”

Wu Sangui stamped his feet repeatedly, unintentionally showing his old appearance.

Yang Zhan became more determined and used trade to delay Sichuan's military disaster. The reason why he proposed to give gold, silver and firearms first was because those things were dead objects. He had to leave enough food to ensure that the Shu people

Sufficient production and living needs.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you know that the Shujiang Alliance is originally a martial arts organization, not an army. It can protect the people of Shu, but it won't be a fight on the battlefield."

"Okay, okay, this matter is settled. Lord Shu, we have cooperated for so many years, but there are very few opportunities to sit together like today. I asked them to put on the wine and drink as much as you like!"

Yang Zhan was secretly worried. If he didn't go back to the guest room, Lan Lan was worried about him and didn't know what he would do. Also, since he had reached this secret deal with Wu Sangui, he wanted to leave the place of right and wrong quickly.

This was the first time that Yang Zhan refused so resolutely in the face of other people's hospitality and fine wine, "Your Majesty, my old wife is not accustomed to the local environment, and I am very anxious. Please forgive me for Yang's resignation. I will have a nice drink with the Prince tomorrow and talk slowly."

.”

Wu Sangui was a little disappointed. He wanted to drink with Yang Zhan because he wanted to take advantage of the wine to clarify a few things. Now that Yang Zhan was going back to sleep, he had no choice but to ask directly.

"Oh, it's better to go to bed early. After all, we are all elderly. Lord Shu, let me ask you again. Can the Midas Secret Book you gave me back then really be used only to produce weapons?"

"Haha, Your Majesty, to be honest, I haven't read that ancient book thoroughly."

"Didn't you get the millions of gold and silver that you agreed to me so readily by using the Midas Tips?" Wu Sangui pretended to be joking.

"How is that possible? Although I promised you, I have to think of a solution when I get back." Yang Zhan also made a joke.

"Are all the legends true? All the treasures of the old King of Shu and Zhang Xianzhong fell into your hands?" Wu Sangui kept asking, determined to break the casserole.

"But if there is anything, I will definitely give it to the prince." Yang Zhan smiled mysteriously, arched his hands, and floated away.
