"Looking at his appearance, I wish I could fly over immediately." Qu Tutong sighed softly, stroking his long white beard. "Wang Shichong did it too much."

I nodded slightly and frowned. "Yang Tong, the King of Yue, is in danger. If I knew that Wang Shichong was such a cruel and murderous person, at that time, if I let that king stay in Chang'an, at least I would not experience the suffering today."

"If someone else says this, I will definitely not believe it, but I believe it, you said it." Qu Tutong turned his head and nodded at me and said with a faint smile. "By the way, I am a nephew, the autumn harvest has passed, and it has been nearly September. When will we take action against Shu?"

I raised my hand to signal Qu Tutong to sit down, and then said, "Uncle, don't worry, wait a little longer, and then march southward until tomorrow's turn of spring and summer. Now, the cement straight road from Chang'an to Hanzhong County has been repaired for nearly half. By the turn of spring and summer next year, it must have been fully accessible." Speaking of this, I ordered Sister Qingxia to call Li Jing from the General Staff.

Hearing this, Qu Tutong couldn't help but feel moved: "So fast? This cement straight road is good. If you can really march along the cement straight road, the speed is extremely fast. As long as you leave the Qipan Pass, you will be in Shu. If you can leave the Qipan Pass to seize Guangyuan, then we will be like gaining a firm foothold in Shu."

Qipan Pass is located on Qipanling between the northeast of Guangyuan, Sichuan and Ningqiang, Shaanxi, and on Qipanling at the throat of the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi (the dividing line between Huangbayi Township, Ningqiang, Shaanxi and Zhuandou Township, Guangyuan, Sichuan). It is known as the first pass in the Western Qin Dynasty.

It is the only road hub connecting the northeast, north China, central China and northwest of the Qinling Mountains. Since ancient times, Qipan Pass has been an important pass at the junction of northern Sichuan and Shaanxi. It is known as the four famous passes in northern Sichuan, along with Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass.

Soon, Li Jing had already arrived. When I heard me talking about the southward advance, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows: "It's a good idea to wait for the cement straight road to be repaired. At that time, the army will move from Chang'an to Hanzhong Qipan Pass for only ten days. If you act quickly, you will definitely be able to beat the other party before Shuzhong can react and stand firm in Shuzhong. At that time, even if everyone in Shuzhong aims the finger at us, you won't be afraid."

I nodded, took a map and spread it out, summoned the two of them to go forward and clicked on Shu and said, "That's the reason. However, I think we will not only give up just Guangyuan, but we will slam the entire Shuzhong into one go. At that time, we can go down the river, and both sides of the long river are in my control.

"If you get Shu, if you go southeast, you can seize Jiaozhi. If you go east, you can take Jingxiang land as easily as a palm..." Qu Tutong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and his fingers followed the Yangtze River and finally settled in the Jiangnan area, which is now occupied by Xiao Xian,

Li Jing stroked the long beard under his chin, squinted his eyes tightly, and his spirit flashed. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "The Central Plains are in corruption and heroes are fighting each other. We don't need to join in this fun at this time. Instead, we should take the edge and corners first and strengthen ourselves. When the Central Plains decide the victory, most of the world is under my control. The winner of the Central Plains will not have the power to turn the world back. Now there is a scattered sand in Shu. Since the emperor's death, there is no one who can fight for the hero. My army is entering directly. Be careful that everyone in Shu will face me unanimously."

I shook my head and wrapped my fingers around the entire Shu area: "It's okay. These officials and families in Shu have already made the entire Shu area angry and resentful. As early as the end of last year, I had sent a large number of people to sneak into Shu area to lobby those people, just to make sure that they cannot work together and to the outside world..."

Hearing my words, General Qu Tu and Li Jing couldn't help but look at me, and they must have admired me for my master's behavior of taking one step at a time and ten steps.

I continued to dodge the silk cloth without raising my head and said, "What we need to do is to do as we do in Guanzhong, not disturb the people, but to appease the local people and let them know that we are not to plunder their money and food, but to bring them a peaceful and peaceful living environment and lower taxes..."

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but frown. Now there is a great shortage of capable officials, and if Fang Xuanling and others are placed in Shu, it will be too big to use it. More importantly, they are unable to escape the affairs of their hands now. The territory I occupy is too large, and the talent gap under their hands is too big.

"Then you must send a capable official to him to appease the people and manage the people's livelihood. It is not my best." Qu Tutong narrowed his eyes after a long time, and smiled and followed my words. "And, I happen to have a candidate."

"Oh? Please tell me clearly." Seeing this old guy looking so admirable, I couldn't help but feel amazement.

"It's that Huangfu Wuyi." Qu Tutong said to me seriously: "I have a close relationship with him and know that he is honest and cautious in his work. In the past, he was appointed as the prefect of Juanyang. He was very famous for his name as a capable official and was praised by all officials. When he was away from Juanyang, the people surrounded him and sent him to him for a hundred miles. Then he became a general of the Wuwei army, and he was very strict in governing the army. He was very impartial in both the army and the people. He was a master of both the army and the people. In the new land, governing the people is the key, but governing the army must be done. Therefore, I recommended Huangfu Wuyi."

"Well, thank you for your reminder. I am afraid that I will need my uncle to come forward at that time." After hearing this, I nodded and replied. "After all, General Huangfu Fangjing changed a lot. If Wuji goes to say it, I am afraid it is..."

"I am naturally obliged to do this." Qu Tutong laughed loudly. "Your wise man, please don't worry, Huangfu Wuyi will definitely be able to distinguish the importance of this person."

While speaking, Du Ruhui walked into the hall with a piece of paper, gave me a deep gift, and handed the words full of paper on it. "Lord, news about General Wei."

I took it and looked carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned. As stated in the letter, Xue Ju had previously led a large army to attack Li Gui in Hexi, but he died of illness halfway through the march, so that Wei Yunqi could take all the entire Hexi territory without any effort.

Xue Rengao (also known as Xue Renguo) naturally became the successor to the throne and ascend to the throne. However, compared to Xue Ju, Xue Renguo is really far behind.

Xue Renguo was brave and good at riding and shooting. He was known as the enemy of ten thousand people in the army. However, he was greedy and cruel by nature and bloodthirsty, so he killed many people, especially those who surrendered prisoners of war. He used many tortures such as cutting off his tongue and cutting his nose, while observing the punishment, drinking and having fun.

Xue Renguo once captured Yu Li, the son of the famous literary master Yu Xin. Because Yu Li refused to surrender to him, he was furious and roasted Yu Li to death, and then cut his meat little by little for the soldiers to eat.

When conquering Qinzhou, Xue Renguo summoned all the local rich people, poured them with vinegar and hung them upside down to force them to take out their belongings.

Moreover, this guy is not good at servicing the soldiers. His subordinates hate and fear him for his cruelty and killing, so they stay away from him. Therefore, Xue Ju, who knows his son's virtue, often scolds him. Your talents and strategies are enough to accomplish things, but you are harsh and cruel by nature and cannot be kind to others. If this continues, you will eventually overturn my family and country.

Xue Renguo retreated to Qinzhou to succeed the throne, but when this guy was the crown prince, he had conflicts with most generals. After he ascended the throne, the generals were even more suspicious and uneasy. Hao Yuan, who was trusted by Xue Ju and his son, was too sad because of Xue Ju's death, which led to his illness.

Originally, Hao Yuan was the mastermind of Xue Ju and his son. He was quite talented and good at regulating relationships. At that time, Xue Renguo finally did not have a conflict with his ministers under his persuasion. However, Hao Yuan was seriously ill and difficult to manage the affairs, Xue Renguo, who was violent and cruel, finally showed his true form.

In early August, despite Hao Yuan's persuasion when he was seriously ill, Xue Renguo decided to take advantage of our army's unstable foothold in Hexi to lead a large army to attack. He raided Jingzhou, located in the north of Jingchuan. Xue Renguo led 30,000 troops and surrounded Jingzhou. In Jingzhou City, only the Second Division of the Hexi Army guarded. Although the attack was insufficient, the garrison city could still withstand it.

Xue Renguo ordered the siege on the same day. Although the number of the Second Division of the Hexi Army was far less than that of Xue Renguo's troops, they were well-equipped and the soldiers were trained soldiers in the army. In addition, Wei Yunqi expected that Xue Renguo, who was irritated at the beginning, would definitely not be willing to be under the control of Hexi for me, so he arranged heavy troops in Jingzhou, which bordered the territory of Xue Ju and his son, and also accumulated enough food and grass.

On the first day of the attack, Xue Renguo lost nearly a thousand people. After tasted the powerful Xue Renguo had no choice but to order a siege in the city of Jingzhou and the soldiers of the Second Division to trap and starve to death.

Then occasionally conduct night attacks, sneak attacks, digging tunnels and other methods to harass the soldiers of Jingzhou. However, the soldiers of the Second Division and the people of Jingzhou all knew very well what Xue Renguo, who was cruel and easy to kill, liked to use prisoners to kill for fun, would do after breaking the city?

Therefore, the soldiers and the people worked together to guard Jingzhou, and the sound of food being cut off in the city was heard from time to time. Every time, Xue Renguo hoped that it was true and decided to continue to wait patiently for the people in the city to starve to death. As a result, a month passed.

Although the people on the top of the city looked a little thin, they were not malnutrition at all. The people should be caused by lack of sleep. Finally, they realized that they would not starve the defenders in the city. If they waited, maybe Xue Renguo, who had to cut off food first, made up her mind and began to attack the city with all her life.

After a fierce attack for a day, he did not even attack the city. On the night after the fierce battle, Wei Yunqi, who had already ambushed outside Jingzhou, ordered an attack. Ten thousand elite cavalry arrived like the wind, killing the 30,000 Xue troops besieging Jingzhou City, blood flowed into a river, and fled.
