Wei and Jin cooks

Li Xiong pondered and looked at Fan Changsheng after a moment.

Fan Changsheng lowered his eyes and thought before nodding, "There is a way, you can try it."

If it doesn't work, just find an excuse to fix it when the time comes.

Li Xiong was about to order troops immediately, and Fan Changsheng reminded him: "It's time for your Majesty to see Zhao Xin. It's best to use illusions to hold him back."

None of them knew that Zhao Hanzhang had sent Xie Shi and his troops to Hanzhong two days ago. Not only that, Zhao Hanzhang also sent a telegram to Jingzhou, ordering Wang Xuan to lead 20,000 troops across the Wujiang River to support Fuling County.

Two days ago, Zhao Xin wrote out all Li Xiong's requests and sent them out, asking the person with the radio station to send the news back to Luoyang.

Zhao Hanzhang received it on the same day.

She had been making preparations, and after confirming Li Xiong's request, she immediately ordered Xie Shi and Wang Xuan to send troops.

This time, their purpose was not to fight, but to intimidate Li Xiong and settle down.

Zhao Hanzhang told Zhao Xin that her bottom line was one and a half of the three conditions proposed by Li Xiong. The first was to recognize Chengguo; the second was that the two countries would open a tea horse market and exchange what they had.

However, the relationship between the two countries is not that of brothers, but of monarchs, ministers and vassals. Jin is a monarch and a minister, and Chengguo is a vassal of Jin.

Therefore, a successful country can be a successful country, but there is no emperor, only a king, the king of Shu!

As for the conditions for transferring the remaining Jin officials out of Shu and ceding all the Bashu area to Chengguo...

Zhao Hanzhang snorted coldly. She indeed wanted to transfer all the Jin officials, but not to give them to Chengguo, but to send new people to govern.

Unfortunately, the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to enter Fuling County without passing through Brazil and Guanghan. It is not easy to travel from Jingzhou to Wujiang and Wushan. I don't know if Wang Xuan and the others can reach there safely.

On the one hand, it is difficult for people to enter, but it is also difficult for materials to enter.

Judging from the large number of refugees flowing out of Shu, the resources there are very short, at least in the warring areas and the areas currently controlled by Jin ministers.

They need outside assistance, otherwise the people will either run away or die. It is basically impossible to rely on foreign aid to defend the city, and they have to rely on locals.

With this in mind, Zhao Hanzhang telegraphed Wang Siniang again, asking her to comfort the refugees coming out of Shu, and then persuade them to go back, "Let them go back with supplies. If possible, organize a horse team to transport the supplies into Shu."

After making arrangements one by one, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan said: "Princess Hongnong and Uncle Fu are afraid that they will not be able to attend our wedding. I will try to let them return to Luoyang next spring."

Fu Tinghan was actually not mentally prepared to face them. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Are they safe?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded: "Safe."

It's not safe now, but it will be safe in Hanzhong County when I wait for Xie.

Hanzhong County belongs to Liangzhou. Within the scope of Bashu, after Fu Zhi arrived in Chang'an, he assigned troops to compete with Li Xiong for control of the counties in Liangzhou. First, it was to prevent Li Xiong from attacking from within Bashu; second, it was for the imperial court to take back Bashu in the future. Leave a hole.

However, due to the food shortage, his control over Hanzhong County was not tight. The soldiers and civilians of Hanzhong County only listened to him occasionally because of his occasional aid.

Xie Shi came with his army. Fu Zhi only hesitated for a moment before letting his people withdraw from Hanzhong County and handed Hanzhong over to Xie Shi.

Xie Shi brought a batch of relief materials. With this batch of materials and Zhao Hanzhang's edict, he quickly took control of Hanzhong County.

Then, while asking people to appease the victims and build projects so that they can work, make money, and have rice to buy without causing chaos, they also display the border of soldiers and let the soldiers of Chengguo on the opposite side see the newly hoisted "Zhao" flag. .

Chengguo's soldiers were startled and quickly reported the general's information to Picheng.

When Li Xiong in Picheng received the news, his courtiers were arguing with Zhao Xin over three conditions.

After reading the military information, Li Xiong squeezed the paper in his hand and almost crushed it.

Everyone also felt Li Xiong's anger and unhappiness. They slowly stopped talking, looked around in confusion, and fell silent.

Xin Zhao remained calm and looked at Li Xiong with a smile.

"So brave," Li Xiong's eyes fell on Zhao Xin with a sharp gaze, "Zhao Hanzhang sent troops to Hanzhong, isn't she afraid that I will kill your cousin?"

Zhao Xindao: "The person standing here is not the cousin of the general, but the envoy of the Jin State. I also believe that His Highness King Cheng is not a cruel and warlike person. Our General also knows that His Highness loves the people of Shu deeply, so I am willing to take a step back and allow His Highness to take care of Bashu on his own. Otherwise, if the Zhao army can conquer Shile and defeat the Huns, is it really impossible to follow the Shu road?"

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials of the Cheng Kingdom changed their expressions. Some grumpy military attachés immediately rolled up their sleeves and wanted to beat Zhao Xin.

Xin Zhao stood still, looking at the person rushing towards him lightly and said: "I will never fight back."

Then the civil servants of Chengguo urgently stopped the military attaché and beat the man to death in the court hall. Zhao Hanzhang might really be able to break in.

However, although they tried to stop them, they were unwilling to obey Zhao Xin, so they retorted: "Our Majesty has long been independent. The Jin State is unruly. We Chengguo people all follow Your Majesty voluntarily. You can belong to us as you say. How come?" s face?"

Zhao Xindao: "There are many stupid people in the world. They don't know it. Don't you know it too? Liangzhou is one of the Nine States. If you want to establish yourself as an emperor here, you want to split the Nine States. Do you want to repeat the hundreds of years of war in the pre-Qin Dynasty?" "

"A temporary hobby cannot represent long-term peace and stability, and becoming a king. If you kings are really good to the people of Bashu, you should accept the general's comfort, change the emperor to a king, and establish vassal states."

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, I know one thing. If Bashu comes under the jurisdiction of the Jin State, we Shu people will be crushed to death in the future. Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Li Xiong sat silently, speechless.

The military attaché who was shouting and scolding was shocked when he saw that Li Xiong was silent. He quickly went to find someone, "Prime Minister, please say something, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what does he mean?"

Fan Changsheng raised his eyelids and looked at Zhao Xin, and asked in a deep voice: "When Cheng Guo surrenders, do you want to listen to the will of a yellow-haired boy, or do you want to listen to the instructions of General Zhao?"

Zhao Xin said lightly: "Nowadays, the imperial edicts in the court come from the three provinces. Your Majesty is personally taught by the general and Taifu Xun. Not only does he have the kindness of the general, but also Taifu Xun's versatility and knowledge. He also invites Fan. Prime Minister, please do not insult the Emperor."

Fan Changsheng looked at his expression and said: "It is rare for the people of Chengdu to live in peace. If General Zhao cannot make a promise, please forgive me for the offense."

So, are you, Zhao Hanzhang, going to replace the little emperor as emperor, or will you give your rights back to the little emperor?

Fan Changsheng stared at Xin Zhao with bright eyes.

Zhao Xin was not in a hurry because he had passed the initial panic stage. Such an issue was discussed quietly within the Zhao family, not to mention being discussed by people in Luoyang.

Even his father once sneaked into his room in the middle of the night and asked, "Will Sanniang be the emperor in the future?"
