Chapter 208: Find out the real culprit (part 2)

The strategy went very smoothly, Zhao Yun quickly waved his sword, and thirty-one assassins hit the sword one by one. Two of the thirty-one assassins survived, and the remaining twenty-nine all died. Seeing the sword wound to their heart, the two secretly thanked their fate. The sword in the heart still survived

The two rested for a day in the mountains and regained their strength. He stole two pieces of civilian clothes from a nearby farmhouse and sneaked into Qin's Mansion in Chengdu City. It went smoothly and unexpectedly. Liu Xun, who received the news, immediately summoned twenty "Wind Guards" to guard near the Qin Mansion and let them observe the suspicious characters.

In the meeting hall of Chengdu government office. Fazheng handed Liu Xun the compiled information of the Qin Mansion.

The information clearly states that Qin Yu, the master of the mansion, and a family from Chengdu, have lived in Chengdu for several generations. They are powerful people in Yizhou with many land slaves, and they are also engaged in cloth and ironware for a living. Because he was dissatisfied with the general's land policy and the "Dahan Law", he colluded with unknown forces to assassinate the general.

"What do you think?" Liu Xun asked, putting the information aside.

"The Qin Mansion is only on the surface, and the main black hand is still behind the scenes. Their actions are mainly to cover people's eyes. The assassins who assassinated you that day used their knives to be very distinctive, and are similar to those used by the Yi tribesmen in the southern central area The knives are very similar, and the poison on the poisonous arrows is also commonly used by the Yi people in Nanzhong. If I guess correctly, there must be assassins in the Qin Mansion.

Liu Xun thought about it seriously, soon. He agreed with the view of Fazheng.

That night, the four sides of the Qin Mansion were surrounded by Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan.

Liu Xun, dressed in white clothes, appeared outside Qin's mansion riding on a snow-white Lu without a trace of miscellaneous hair. At one of the orders, the four tigers rushed into the mansion from the Quartet.

Suddenly, there were waves of weapon collisions in Qin's mansion.

Half an hour later, under the powerful offensive of the four generals, the war ended. All fifty assassins in Qin's mansion were killed.

"Chang Wen, why are you injured?" Liu Xun immediately jumped off his horse, looking a little puzzled.

Wei Yan blushed and couldn't say anything.

"Hey, hurt in the hands of a sixteen-year-old girl, I am embarrassed to say it." Zhao Yun laughed cheerfully. When Wei Yan saw Zhao Yun reveal his old bottom, he couldn't help but blush, and cast his head angrily, no longer speaking.

"Okay, okay, let's not say, the other party's weapons are poisonous. First send General Wei and all the wounded to Hua Tuo's hospital."

After Wei Yan left, Liu Xun asked, "How did Wen Chang get hurt."

Zhao Yun replied: "Just as the war was about to end, Wen Chang found a little girl lying on the ground crying in the backyard. Wen Chang couldn't bear to kill, so he went up to help her, unexpectedly the girl suddenly took out a girl from her sleeve. The sword pierced Wen Chang's heart quickly. If it wasn't for Wen Chang's agility, he avoided the critical point. Otherwise, Wen Chang would have died in this small siege."

After Liu Xun heard this, he felt fortunate. It would be a pity if Wei Yan, a fierce general, died here. Later, Liu Xun asked the generals to retreat and return to their homes.

According to the information retrieved from the Qin Mansion, Liu Xun roughly confirmed that the assassins who assassinated him were sent by the powerful Gaoding of the South Central Region, the King Gaoding of Yueshangyi, and Zhu Bao, the prefect of Zhangyan. They seem to be in collusion with Meng Huo, the leader of the Yi people in the Nanzhong area. Their forces spread all over the four counties of South Central, and the rebellion will happen sooner or later. It seems that preparations must be made early to calm down the South Central area.

……

Unsurprisingly, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the powerful and powerful Yongkai of Zhuti County in the South Central Region, the King Gaoding of Yuesiyi, Zhu Bao, the prefect of Zhangke County, and the barbarian King Menghuo of Jianning County, simultaneously rebelled. Liu Xun summoned his advisers and generals at the General Mansion in Chengdu to discuss the settlement of the rebellion in the Nanzhong region once and for all.

Liu Xun still had the look on his face, but the faint worry between his eyebrows could not hide the sharp-eyed Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Pang Tong and others.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said, "Lord, Nanzhong is bold and bold. Not only does he send people to assassinate the lord, but he also raises troops to rebel. It's really deceiving."

Liu Xun said unhurriedly: "For several months, everyone has been ignoring things outside the house, and only talking about Tianlun music. Even Kong Ming can't sit still."

"The past few months, I've been really comfortable." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and replied unpretentiously.

Fa Zheng stepped forward and said: "Now Cao Cao has broken Yuan Shang under the city of Ye in Jizhou, and annexed Ji and the two states in one fell swoop. Yuan Shang led the defeated army to Yuan Xi in Youzhou. The Yuan family who had won the most for a time now only left Youzhou. In one place, I believe that it will not be long before Cao Cao can dominate the north. And Sun Quan of Jiangdong has successfully put down the rioting mountain and Yue people, and has recruited tens of thousands of mountain and Yue soldiers, and his strength has greatly increased. I heard that Sun Quan is preparing to attack Jiaozhou and Jiaozhou. The real decisive battle in China is about to begin. Our army should calm down the southern and central areas as soon as possible so that it can occupy a favorable position in the decisive battle in the future."

After hearing what Fazheng had said, Liu Xun sighed deeply, thought for a while, and then said, "There are three ways to deal with this matter. One is to defeat Nanban’s attack, but as soon as they regain their vitality, they are very They will be able to fight again soon; the second is the extermination. As long as the Nanban clan is completely destroyed, our army will have no worries, but it is impossible to completely destroy the Nanban; third, it is to subdue the Nanban and make the Nanban fighters. Become a great helping arm of our army."

Pang Shiyuan stepped forward and said: "The lord's statement is right. There are indeed three ways to deal with it. However, Nanban has always been a malignant tumor in Xichuan. It is very easy to beat them back, but if you want to beat them, it is difficult. Adding to the difficulties, the hinterland of Nanban is extremely dangerous. If the army enters, it will be restrained everywhere, and it is very likely that the entire army will be destroyed. This matter should be considered in the long term."

Fa Zhengjiu knew the dangers of Nanban in Xichuan, and he said helplessly: "From the long-term plan to the long-term plan. This has been said from Master Liu Yan until now, but there is no plan."

Pang Tong blushed and didn't know what to say.

It is true that the four counties in Nanzhong are dangerous, especially the Nanban area in Menghuo. There is no map, and the location of Nanban’s lair is not known. It is impossible to be deep in the mountains with only some truthful and inconvenient news along the way. Find the location of Nanban and destroy it.

Fazheng opened his eyes wide and slightly closed, and said firmly: "In any case, Nanban is not annihilating the clan, or surrendering. There is no second way to go. The lord is not the generation of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang. The lord has lofty ambitions and absolutely cannot. Was dragged down by a Nanban."

"Filial piety is right." Zhuge Liang went on to say: "We absolutely can't indulge in it. The four counties of Nanzhong must get rid of the disaster once and for all." For a while, there was no sound in the deliberation hall, and everyone was thinking about how to deal with Nanban. This thing.

At this time, Zhuge Liang took out a map from his arms and gave it to Liu Xun, saying, "This is a simple sketch I drew when I was patrolling the four counties of Nanzhong. Although it is not very clear, it has some major features. , But it is very clear."

Liu Xun opened it and saw that the map was very rough, just some simple directions. He looked closely for a while, and said with joy: "With this map, our army can learn about the four counties of South Central. The geographical features greatly increase the bargaining chips for our army and the Southern Barbarian army."

With this picture, Liu Xun was overjoyed and said: "Now that I have the sketches in hand, I think that the pacification of the four counties in Nanzhong will be half the success. Then I took this opportunity to destroy Nanban in one fell swoop and make him surrender. Our army."

Pang Tong also said: "The opportunity is not to be missed, and time never comes. It is a rare opportunity to wipe out the Nanban soldiers in Xichuan first in order to wipe out the strength of the Nanban.

Zhuge Liang once again persuaded: "Lord, you don't know, Nanban is not powerful about their soldiers, but their geographical location. Nanban is a very strange geographical location. It does not have the characteristics of Jingzhou and other places, which are exchanged in four seasons. The three seasons are as sultry as summer, and there are a lot of poisons such as snakes, insects, rats and ants. By this time it is already autumn, the climate of this place will decline, and snakes, insects, rats and ants will also be greatly reduced. It is very beneficial to our army’s operations."

Liu Xun considered for a while, nodded, agreed to Zhuge Liang's proposal, and then asked: "What strategy should be adopted to pacify the four counties of Nanzhong this time?"

Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said: "The South Central area should be divided into two powers. The powerful and powerful Yongkai of Zhuti County, Gaoding of Yuesiyi and Zhu Bao, the prefect of Yangke County, belong to the same group, and Menghuo, the barbarian king of Jianning County, is another. Guys. They came together only for the common good. It's better to defeat them one by one and destroy them one by one."

"Well, everyone go back and prepare well, and send troops to fight the rebellion in five days!" Liu Xun said happily.

After the meeting, Pang Tong came to Zhuge Liang's side and asked: "Kong Ming, you are really amazing. Can you draw the map of Nanzhong?" Pang Tong took a sip and laughed: "You guy is better than rumors. The middle is even more terrifying. With this one-sided factor, you can guess so thoroughly, you really deserve to be Wolong."

"I invite you to have a drink." Zhuge Liang felt itchy when he saw Pang Tongyi drinking so happily.

"The relationship is good. You don't know how expensive Shu wine is now, which made me buy this jug because of the wealth of my family. What is even more annoying is such expensive wine. There is actually a price but no market. I can't buy the money. Today I have to drink him enough. Go! Go!" Pang Tong urged anxiously when Zhuge Liang was walking slowly.

Shu Liquor: The king of liquor of the Han Dynasty is Zhuge Liang based on some ancestral information. It took a year and hundreds of talents to develop the superb wine on the basis of the original Shu Liquor. It is as expensive as gold and sold well. , Yiliangzhou.

Seeing Pang Tonghou's anxious appearance, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but laugh secretly: "What a funny person, I hope he won't be so casual when he is doing errands."

The matter of the conquest of the four counties of Nanzhong has been settled, and then it has been plunged into intense preparations. Liu Xun ordered everyone to prepare everything, bit by bit, such as kerosene, water bags, grain, crossbows, crossbow arrows, and some miscellaneous things.

Zhuge Liang had also anticipated the expedition to Nanzhong a long time ago. He had already made tens of thousands of wooden oxen horses on special orders. Liu Xun and others were overjoyed. This move greatly solved the most critical food problem in the expedition to Nanban. Everything is ready now, just waiting for the expedition...
