Chapter 18 Zhang Yi Returns
A carriage entered the Shu Kingdom from the Tang Dynasty and galloped towards Jinguan City.

The bumps along the way prevented Zhang Yi from resting, and he couldn't take a break for the time being.

He knew a thing or two about what happened in Miao Jiang's side, and the court has always used gentle methods to make Miao Jiang return to his heart.

The strategy is right, Zhang Yi thinks so.

However, not long after he came to Tang, he received the news that Yangxu City was lost, and he was very anxious.

The biggest beneficiary of the Miaojiang Rebellion was Chu State.

The strategy planned by Zhang Yi is very correct. If he wants to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, then Jingxiang is the place that must be contested.

Coincidentally, the state of Chu also thought the same way, and if the people of Bashu were attached to the people, if they could take down the land of Bashu, then they could compete with the state of Wu.

It was precisely because he was worried about the movement of Chu that Zhang Yi immediately set off to return to Shu.

"Shangqing, Jinguan City is coming."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi lifted the curtain and saw the prosperous Shu capital—Jinguan City.

……

Jiang Siyan frowned as he looked at Cheng Huaili's letter to him.

At this time, the two sides had been stalemate for half a month. Although Zitong was not a place that could be firmly defended, General Cheng had rich experience, and with the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, several attacks by the rebel army were resolved.

However, Jiang Siyan was not at all happy at this time, because for half a month, the rebel army did not decline. Instead, they captured Zhenyuan and consolidated the security of the side.

At this time, Jiang Siyan also realized the existence of the Chu State. If there were only Yangxu City and the five towns of Miaojiang, the rebels would not be able to hold on for long, and now more than a month has passed!
The general idea of ​​Cheng Huaili's writing is that the rebels will definitely capture Changjing in the next step. At that time, Zitong's situation will be critical, and troops should be sent to cut off the rebels in order to keep Zitong.

To send troops at this time, who to send?

Cheng Huaili is the only general with qualifications, while the other generals are either too old or too immature to take on heavy responsibilities.

Just when Jiang Siyan was having a headache, an attendant suddenly entered the hall and reported, "Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Yi, please see me."

"Zhang Yi?"

Jiang Siyan was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, and said, "Please come in quickly."

At this time, Zhang Yi's return was the best news Jiang Siyan had ever received.

Zhang Yi walked into the hall, Jiang Siyan came to meet him, and said, "It's really timely, sir."

"Kings."

Zhang Yi saluted and said: "Zhang Yi has heard about Miao Jiang, so he rushed back."

"Don't be too polite!"

Helping Zhang Yi up, Jiang Siyan took Zhang Yi's hand and walked to the center of the hall.

A map of the world was hung on the wall, and Jiang Siyan pointed to the state of Chu, and said, "If this continues, the state of Chu is likely to enter Shu..."

Jiang Siyan is really not afraid of the state of Shu against the state of Chu, but there are rebels, and most of their troops are involved. Now that the Chu army is entering the field, isn't it a tiger like a sheep?
Looking at the worried Jiang Siyan, Zhang Yi said, "This is exactly why Zhang Yi came here."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Jiang Siyan was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, and asked, "Can you solve this problem, sir?"

"There is a plan, you can try it."

Twirling his beard, Zhang Yi walked up to the map, pointed to Yue State in the south of Chu State, and then said, "Chu and Yue have frequently attacked and invaded over the years, and Yue State has lost countless cities."

"For these cities, the Yue Kingdom has longed for them day and night."

"In Zhang Yi's humble opinion, he can lobby the Yue State and take this opportunity to form an alliance with the Yue State. Seeing this, the Chu State will not dare to send troops at will."

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Jiang Siyan suddenly felt enlightened.

If this plan can be achieved, then the threat of Chu State will be solved easily. You must know that Yue State will not let go of any chance to kill Chu State.

Patting his head, he should have thought of it long ago, but the authorities were deluded.

"Then, in my opinion, who can lobby the Yue Kingdom?"

Listening to Jiang Siyan's words, Zhang Yi cupped her hands and said, "Zhang Yi is not talented, and would like to go to Yue."

Jiang Siyan looked at Zhang Yi, helped him up, and said with a smile, "It's a blessing for the Kingdom of Shu to have Mr. Zhang."

This policy is done!

You must know that the death of the three kings of the Yue Kingdom is directly related to the Chu Kingdom, and if they can disgust the Chu Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom will definitely not let it go.

As long as the Chu State does not act, it will be much easier to deal with the rebels.

A big stone was removed, Jiang Siyan let out a sigh of relief, and then handed Cheng Huaili's memorial to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi read it quickly, frowned and said, "Is there anyone to choose, Your Majesty?"

"Chosen?"

Jiang Siyan sighed: "There are only inexperienced young generals and old generals who can't get on the horse. How do you choose?"

"There is no one available now..."

Although the state of Chu can solve it, the troubles of the rebels are not small, and they still need to fight with real swords and guns.

"..."

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment, as if hesitating to speak.

Seeing Zhang Yi like this, Jiang Siyan immediately said, "Sir, please tell me something."

"Zhang Yi has someone to recommend."

"Who?"

Because of Zhang Yi's strategy, Jiang Siyan was even more curious about the person Zhang Yi recommended.

Looking at Jiang Siyan, Zhang Yi said, "Third Young Master, Jiang Xubai."

"Who?"

"Third son, Jiang Xubai."

……

At this time, Jiang Xubai was at the Golden Willow Pond in Shu Palace.

In front of him, stood a woman in palace attire, graceful and majestic, with a good face, no rouge, and a heroic look between her brows.

This person is Jiang Xubai's biological mother, Queen Li.

Queen Li had red phoenix eyes, but she was smiling at the moment, and said, "Bai'er, sit down quickly, I've made you your favorite pastry."

While speaking, he took Jiang Xubai's hand and sat down in a nearby pavilion.

Several court ladies stood in the pavilion, and when they saw the two sitting down, they immediately poured a cup of tea for them.

"Try it."

Queen Li pushed several plates of cakes on the stone table in front of Jiang Xubai, and said, "I haven't made cakes for a long time, I don't know if I have regressed."

Jiang Xubai picked up a piece of cinnamon cake, took a bite, a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus spread in his mouth, nodded immediately, and said with a smile: "It's delicious."

Watching Jiang Xubai eating cakes with a smile, Queen Li was very happy, reached out to touch Jiang Xubai's face, and said, "Eat more."

Compared with the woman's hands, Queen Li's hands have more calluses.

This is the cocoon that comes from long-term exposure to weapons.

After eating two more cakes, Jiang Xubai stopped and took a sip of tea.

"Why don't you eat?"

Seeing Jiang Xubai's actions, Empress Li was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Is it not to your taste?"

"No, the child likes to eat very much."

With that said, Jiang Xubai ate another piece, which made Empress Li smile.

"It's time to grow your body, eat more."

While pouring tea for Jiang Xubai, Empress Li asked with a smile, "Do you like Chitu?"

Chitu is the horse that Empress Li gave to Jiang Xubai. It got its name because of its fiery red fur. It is a top-quality horse.

"like very much."

Chitu is a famous horse in the world, how could Jiang Xubai not like it?

But every time Jiang Xubai saw Chitu, he would think of Lu Bu...
