5days ago traverse Novels 2
On the city tower in Chengdu, Wang Zhaoyuan held the king's order in his left hand and the iron Ruyi in his right hand. He commanded freely and issued various military orders continuously.

He looked forward to the wind and watched as a large number of reinforcements exited the city one after another and drove towards the east.

Inside and outside the city wall, there were a lot of villagers watching.

The news of the Zhou army's attack on Shu has gradually spread in Chengdu. The people are also very concerned about the victory or defeat of the Shu army, and they all rushed to the streets to inquire... Most of the Shu kings and imperial guards were not from Sichuan, and moved south from the north during the Later Tang Dynasty.

But they have been in Sichuan for decades, and the Sichuan people have become accustomed to their rule.

The Shu regime was not particularly kind, and also exploited the people and did some things that made people complain, such as when there was not enough copper coins, minting iron tools from the people, collecting a large number of folk women to serve as harem, etc.

However, overall they did not do too much. The most important thing was to ensure long-term peace and stability... Therefore, most Shu people still hope that Meng Chang's army would win.

Wang Zhaoyuan, with the eager hopes of his fellow villagers, was preparing to do a great job and return home in glory.

Of course, the ministers were the ones who were most concerned about the war. They all had both fertile land and property in Shu Kingdom, and their wealth and property were protected by the Shu army.

There were so many officials coming to see him off, and they all looked at Wang Zhaoyuan with eager eyes.

Wang Zhaoyuan waved his iron wish and said calmly in front of him: Don’t worry, all of you!The east road is nothing more than Three Gorges and Kuizhou. This official must protect the country's gates without any mistakes.

An official asked: What the Deputy Envoy Wang said is not false?

Haha... Wang Zhaoyuan laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, you look down on me, Wolong too much."I can’t even do such an easy thing as guarding the country’s gates by relying on dangerous places. How can I be called a Wolong?

Wang Zhaoyuan comforted everyone in the noisy.Many people are still very dissatisfied with him, but that doesn't matter. He just waits to make great contributions and can take advantage of the situation and show his arrogance for a while.

At this moment, an old man with a long robe shook his head and sighed under the city. Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes were sharp and he recognized it as Li Hao.Seeing this, Wang Zhaoyuan was calm and contented.

After leaving the city tower, a subordinate official came forward and whispered: Li Hao just took the lord and Zhao Jizhabi.

Wang Zhaoyuan was immediately furious!

Who is Zhao Jizha? In the battle between Qin and Feng, this person volunteered to recommend himself to preside over the military power of the four states of Qin Fengcheng, and brag about it first in Chengdu. As a result, when the Zhou army arrived, he was so scared that he fled back to Chengdu.

The emperor asked him what happened, and he didn't know what happened... The person Wang Zhaoyuan despised the most was the person he was the one who was ignorant and talented, and Li Hao actually compared him with him!

Lord, calm down, now we don’t care about him, and it’s the most important thing to try to protect the East Road first.The staff advised.

Wang Zhaoyuan is about to go to war, and he really has no time to argue with Li Hao.

He swallowed his anger and calmed down, and said calmly: In the north and east, an envoy was sent to Sichuan secretly, and brought my letters to contact the Northern Han and Southern Tang, and deal with the Zhou Dynasty together, and strive for an advantage from the overall situation.

The staff said: When the two Li (Li Chongjin and Li Jixun) rebelled, the Northern Han Dynasty did not dare to send troops, so it was probably not easy; the Southern Tang Kingdom had already become trembling in the Zhou Dynasty and might not have the courage.

Wang Zhaoyuan said: I know, but there are only benefits but no harm when trying. If it doesn’t work, forget it.We recommend two lobbyists who are quick-talking... If Shu is in danger, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will fall into the hands of the Zhou Dynasty; the Southern Tang Dynasty relies entirely on the Yangtze River, and they have no intention of seeing the principle that Shu is occupied by the Central Plains.The Northern Han Dynasty was the old enemy of the Zhou Dynasty, and there was also the possibility of fighting for it.

After hearing this, the aide congratulated: The lord’s words are reasonable.

Another subordinate hurriedly echoed: Deputy Envoy Wang is broad-minded, brave and resourceful, and this son of Li Hao actually slandered Zhao Jizha and used evil intentions.

Wang Zhaoyuan snorted coldly: I have made a decision, and the east road will be as stable as Mount Tai!

……

On the surface of the Yangtze River, Guo Shao stood at the bow of a building ship, looking at the wide surface of the river.

At this time, the fleet had arrived, and Luo Yan's rebel army also took over the defense of Jingnan. The army attacked Shu was advancing on the water and land, and had already set off westward.

There was still a plain everywhere, the river water was wide here, the water flowed gently, and the fleet sailed very smoothly with the east wind.

Mr. Wolong?Guo Shao turned to look at Jing Niang in surprise.

Jingniang, Bai Xiangu and others arranged some detailed works, including some people who used Chen Chen and Li Shang Gang, and sent spies to various parts of Shu early.

Zuo You, who was standing beside him, said: The governor of Kuizhou was Gao Yanqiu, and he did not sign a recruitment or other dispatches; Wang Zhaoyuan sent him from Chengdu to serve as the "Faichang Army Supervisor".According to the rules, Wang Zhaoyuan was in charge of military power and decision-making. The Shu Kingdom and the Southern Tang Dynasty were all such rules.

Guo Shao pondered: Isn’t Wolong Zhuge Liang?Wang Zhaoyuan is actually known as the lying dragon. How capable is it?

Zuo You said: I have never heard of this person before. He probably is famous in Shu, right?

Jing Niang disagreed and said: What a Wolong, I heard that it was his own name.

Zuo You immediately smiled. Seeing Guo Shao looking at him, he said: I suddenly remembered another person from Shu, so I laughed.Zhao Jizha also had a high opinion of himself, but he ran very fast in Qinzhou back then, resulting in the Qin Feng Shu army being temporarily unable to coordinate and defeated each other.

It seems that there is still some impression... Guo Shao said, but we cannot underestimate the enemy in details, respecting the opponent is also respecting ourselves.The Shu army guarded the border from the east, and it was nothing more than Kuizhou; Wang Zhaoyuan went to Kuizhou to serve as a military supervisor and took charge of military power, and he was the most important opponent in this battle.

Guo Shao said to Jingniang: Send some people to Kuizhou to find a way to inquire about Wang Zhaoyuan, and record any related to him.What you have done, what you have said, even what you like, dislike, interests and hobbies... As long as you can find out what kind of woman you like, you can find out clearly.

Jingniang whispered casually: Alang cares more about him than about his relatives and friends.

I have heard a saying that the one who knows a person's best is usually his enemy.Guo Shao smiled and said, "Know yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle."

After Guo Shao said that, when he looked up, he found that dark shadows had appeared in the distant sky at the edge of the clear sky, like dark clouds in the sky, one heavy and one heavy... It was a distant mountain range, which could only be seen on sunny days.

The plain is almost over, and the days to enter the mountains are just around the corner.

The people around him also looked at him with his eyes. Guo Shao looked for a while and sighed: We don’t stay in a flat place, we have to drill into the mountains.What is it?

Zuo You said: After passing this mountain, the hinterland of Shu Kingdom is also a good place.

Guo Shao nodded and thoughtfully: In the game of Zhulu, he played a knockout match, and there was only one winner.So we cannot forgive them just because Shu did not threaten the Great Zhou at this time.
