Prime Minister take care

Chapter 392 Soldiers meet each other
Liangzhou, Wuwei.

"Demon Emperor?"

Zhu Zi stared at Yan Le, a guest from Shu thousands of miles away, with a hesitant look on his face.

"When the Prime Minister attacked the Demon City and annihilated the Demon Clan, wasn't the Demon Emperor conceived by the Sky-Swallowing Clam already dead?"

Liangzhou and Shu have always been allies. In theory, they should advance and retreat together, but this has never been implemented.Yan Le suddenly brought news from Yang Xian, saying that in half a year the Demon Emperor would lead an army of demons to attack Yangjueguan, and asked Zhu Zi to be careful.This sounds a bit ridiculous to Zhu Zi.

"At first, the Sky-Swallowing Clam was pregnant with two eggs. Meng Xuan killed the Demon Emperor and burned the Sky-Swallowing Clam, but he did not expect that the other one had been hidden inside. The Prime Minister discovered the traces of the Demon Emperor a few years ago. , but it was helpless that this demon emperor was very good at hiding. Until a few days ago, the demon emperor sent a messenger, saying that he would avenge the demons. The prime minister was worried that there was a police officer at Yangjue Pass, so he specially sent me to tell him that he wanted to ride a horse. Take care, General."

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your kindness. Let the envoy go down first! I have prepared hot dishes and soup for the envoy to enjoy."

"Thank you General Chariot!"

Yan Le bowed and retreated.

Just after Yan Le's figure exited the room, the ministers in General Chariot's Mansion spoke one after another.

"Master, is what Yang Xian said true?"

"If that Demon Emperor really comes back, are we afraid that our plan to open up the wilderness will be greatly affected?"

"The demons have the ability to control wild beasts. If what Yang Xian said is true, then it is probably not as simple as being affected. The entire plan to open up the wilderness will be hindered."

Zhu Zi's subordinates were not worried about the Demon Emperor, but the Liangzhou Army's plan to open up the wilderness.

Entering the wilderness, communicating and trading with a group of foreign races, exchanging a large amount of trade goods, and then reselling them to Shu Kingdom, Guanzhong, and even the Central Plains and Wu Chu Land. This valuable trade route can bring huge wealth to the Liangzhou Army.

If this trade route is destroyed, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Liangzhou army.

Zhu Zi put his hands behind his back and walked around in front of his seat. The worried discussions among his subordinates did not hinder his thoughts.

The Liangzhou Army was able to gain a foothold in the wilderness because it controlled the former Demon City, which is now Zhaofu City.

But there are only a thousand Liangzhou troops stationed in Zhaofu City, and this part of the army is not stationed for defense, but for exploration and management of logistics resources.

The Liangzhou Army has not been operating in the wilderness for a long time, so it is not possible to station large-scale troops outside.

If it is to deal with the threat of the demon clan, the best way at this time is to gather the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, go out to Yangjueguan, wipe out the demon clan on a large scale, and kill the demon emperor.

But here's the problem, Zhu Zi couldn't make up his mind to assemble his troops and go out.

Yangjueguan is seven or eight days' journey from Zhaofu City. If it were purely Xiliang cavalry, this time could be shortened by half.However, there are no water replenishment points along the way. If you bring the water camel beast that merchants often bring when leaving customs, it will be even slower.

Moreover, even if Zhu Zi gathered the Xiliang cavalry in Wuwei at this time, and then rushed to Zhaofu City, the war was going smoothly, and this trip would probably last more than a month.If the war doesn't go smoothly, it will drag on even longer.

Zhu Zi couldn't take such a big risk just because of Yang Xian's words.If Yang Xian is deceiving, then during the period when he leads the main force of Liangzhou Army out, Liangzhou may change hands.

Even if Yang Xian is not lying, Zhu Zi has now begun to integrate the leaders of the Liangzhou Army.This was a window period. Liang Hou Huanqing was in mourning for [-] days. He had at least three months to stabilize the initially chaotic situation.

Now the military leaders in the eastern part of Liangzhou are panicking. If he leads the Xiliang cavalry out of seclusion, he will not be able to intimidate all the military leaders.What will happen then is unpredictable, maybe Liangzhou will be in chaos.

Gathering the main force and sweeping out the devil's nest, this is the best military solution, but Zhu Zi cannot use it now.Zhu Zi closed his eyes and finally suppressed the idea of ​​going out of Junyang Jue Pass. He smiled and said: "What Yang Xian said may be exaggerated. Ministers, don't worry, just send more casual cavalry out to patrol the pass." ."

Wu Guo, Gusu.

Wearing a wedding dress, the red color is as bright as fire.

Hou Zhaoji slowly entered the ancestral temple and saw Hou Tao standing in front of Wu Lord Hou Shen's spiritual tablet, holding incense and bowing three times.

"Big brother!"

Hou Tao is tall and handsome.After he finished offering the incense, he stood with his hands behind his back.

"Would you feel aggrieved if I asked you to marry Cai Yun?"

"Whether you feel aggrieved or not depends on what kind of person Cai Yun is?"

Hou Tao smiled and said, "How?"

"If Cai Yun is the master of great talent and general strategy, then I will naturally assist my husband, and then conquer the land of Wu and become the hegemony. If he is just a mediocre person, then the state of Chu will be named Hou."

Hou Zhaoji's eyebrows are long and narrow, and her figure is much taller than that of ordinary Wu women.When he said this, he had a heroic spirit of a man.

Hou Tao smiled happily instead of being angry.

"Okay! She is indeed my sister, a son and daughter of the Hou family. But what I want to tell you is that Cai Yunshang comes second. What you have to guard against is Cai Tong, the old fox."

"Cai Tong?"

Hou Tao turned around and looked at Hou Zhaoji, the sister who was about to leave Wu Guoyuan to marry somewhere else.

"Cai Tong is a treacherous and treacherous person who is rare in the world. The situation in Wu is not as stable as it seems. I want to get strong support from outside to frighten the wealthy families in the country. And Cai Tong doesn't want to do this, but what he is guarding against is Yang Xian!"

At this point, Hou Tao sighed.

"When my father was there, he wanted to swallow Chu, but because Cai Tong was in Chu, he didn't dare to go any further. And why didn't Cai Tong have the heart to swallow Wu? Wu's national power is weaker than Chu's, and Chu's army occupies The location is favorable. Cai Tong did not dare to act because of the strong enemy. Now that Huan Wu is dead, the only thing Cai Tong worries about is Yang Xian. If he is allowed to stabilize the situation in the west, this old fox is likely to Raise troops to devour Wu. And you are the best bargaining chip in his hand."

"Then is it possible for Cai Tong to stabilize the situation in the west?"

Hou Tao smiled with disdain.

"Cai Tong was treacherous, but he was also afraid that others would deceive him. Yang Xian stationed [-] troops in Jiangzhou, and the leader was an unparalleled talent, General Yang An. Even though Yang Xian left the Central Plains in the north, as long as Zhe Chong's army was still in Jiangzhou, Then Cai Tong won’t dare to move.”

Hou Tao put his hands on Hou Zhaoji's shoulders and said: "Brother needs one more year to stabilize the situation in the country. And within this year, the situation in the world may change drastically. If Yang Xian does not move, Cai Tong I don't dare to move. But once the situation worsens and Wu and Chu come into battle, don't let the Hou family's reputation fall."

"I understand!"

Hou Zhaoji knew the meaning of Hou Tao's words very well.She nodded and said firmly.
