The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Sure enough, after Zhang Fan just told Liu Xian about the matter, Liu Xian only asked whether it was true, and then immediately gathered troops to go to Yongning Mansion to wipe out Zhang Yong and Wang Xin. It can be said that Zhang Fan has been mentally prepared for a long time. Even after Liu Xian listened to what he said, he didn't say it immediately, but asked him if the situation was true. Zhang Fan still felt that the situation might not be true. so bad.

But then, after Liu Xian asked clearly that the situation was indeed true, his "nature" was revealed, and he hurriedly summoned troops to kill the generals.

Although for Zhang Fan, this situation had already been expected, but even so, hearing what Liu Xian said still gave Zhang Fan a headache.

"Wait a minute, General Liu," Zhang Fan immediately said to Liu Xian who wanted to call the deputy general over, "I hope that General Liu can listen to my words before making a decision on this matter."

Although Liu Xian is not a person who would change his mind just because of Zhang Fan's words, Zhang Fan's words still made him stop, and he looked at Zhang Fan and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what else Mr. Zhang wants to say?" , although the matter is not urgent now, it is imperative. The opponent has assembled [-] to [-] troops, and they have been practicing for a long time, and their combat power is extraordinary. Now that I know about it, I can't just sit idly by, I should solve this trouble as soon as possible."

"General Liu has misunderstood something," Zhang Fan said. "I didn't tell Mr. Liu to sit idly by, but to let the general wait for a while, and it will not be too late to make a decision after listening to me. I hope that General Liu can now Standing still, no, it’s not right to say holding back the soldiers, I want the general not to startle the enemy now.”

"Oh, Mr. Zhang is wrong," Liu Xian waved his hand, and said, "Now that we already know the other party's plan, why should we make such a fuss?" Liu Xian is indeed Liu Xian, even if he is stubborn Those who are superior to others can't pull back when it comes to wars. Zhang Fan's words sound inconsistent, but as long as you think about it for a while, you can understand that there must be something inside, but Liu Xian doesn't care, or He didn't think about that at all, he just wanted to kill those two people.

"Lord Liu, it's not that simple." Zhang Fan felt that he was a bit overwhelmed now, but the matter had to go on. "Those two people are very careful now. The people I sent over, even They have already gained their trust, but now they are being guarded very strictly. This time, the news was sent in a hurry, and in the news, although it was mentioned that the two people were near Yongning Mansion, they didn't know Where are those two people hiding, I don't know where they are, General Liu's army is going, but where do they want to find them?"

"Hey, it's not a difficult task," Liu Xian obviously disagreed with Zhang Fan's words, and said, "There are many rivers and rivers near Yongning Mansion. Although the surrounding terrain is steep, there are no deep mountains and old forests. If those two people are hiding there If that’s the case, my army will go there, and it won’t take long to find those two people.”

"However, what if we can't find it," Zhang Fan said.

But these words made Liu Xian silent.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Zhang Fan quickly took advantage of the momentum to pursue them, and said, "It's not that I don't trust the general's soldiers, it's just that those two are very cunning and never show their faces easily, even the people around them It is not possible to know the whereabouts of the two of them. If I can't catch them all this time and let them escape, I am afraid that the two of them will hide again and find opportunities to do something in the future. I am afraid of this, so I don't want to let them escape. General Liu went to scare the snakes, "

"Master Zhang also makes sense," perhaps because of the relationship between the two before, or because Liu Ting is with Zhang Fan now, Liu Xian's attitude towards Zhang Fan has changed, and it is no longer the same as before. In that way, treating others is a state of not listening to the slightest opinion, "But now that the matter is in front of us, it is possible that Mr. Zhang means to let me let it go,"

"Nevertheless it is impossible, but this matter is very troublesome, and I have to think it through before doing it," Zhang Fan said, "Besides, I don't want the general to move the army lightly, and it's not just because of those two people. And the people under them.

"The 3 or [-] people under their command are all from various local ethnic groups. Even the drills are carried out in their respective ethnic groups. The two of them made this plan because of the previous conquest of the Bo people. People of all ethnic groups here are all soldiers, practicing one after another, and the imperial court has not controlled this, so it is like this.

"As for my subordinates, although they don't know who the soldiers and horses of the two men are from those tribes, they also know that those people are near Yongning Mansion. If the general's army passes by and cannot find those two people, the general Will they not care about people of all ethnic groups in the area?"

"Of course not," Liu Xian replied with a natural look, "Now that we know that those two are planning to rebel, and we have gathered 3 or [-] people to practice, if I lead my troops to go , even if you can't find those two people, you still have to suppress these people, otherwise, if there is trouble, it will not be easy to calm down, "

"That's right, don't blame the general. Actually, before I came here, I already guessed that the general would definitely do this," Zhang Fan said. "But it is precisely because of this reason that I don't want the general to go now."

"Master Zhang, what do you mean?" If Liu Xian didn't know something about Zhang Fan, Zhang Fan's words would have made him furious. He knew that Zhang Fan would definitely not be that kind of person, so he said so There must be ulterior motives in the words. Liu Xian is not stupid, but he is easily agitated when he talks about this aspect. This excitement makes those things that he can understand, but now he also thinks about it. Do not understand.

"General, please think about the current situation in the Southwest," Zhang Fan said, and before Liu Xian could speak, he sighed, "Because of the previous conquest of the Bo people, all the tribes in the Southwest were nervous. They are worried that the imperial court will attack them next, so during this period of time, all the tribes in the southwest have started to practice soldiers and horses. Although they don't want to do anything, it can be regarded as reassuring themselves.

"We understand this very well, so we didn't take care of these things at all. All in all, although the situation in the Southwest seems very uneven, there are actually not many problems.

"However, I don't know if the general has ever thought about what would happen if the court took any action under the current situation. For example, this time the general led his troops to Yongning Mansion, but the two who were the culprits were not found. , but all the ethnic groups in the area are suspicious, so the general is naturally going to suppress it.

"Perhaps, after such a suppression, there is no need to use force, but no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. In case some local clans refuse to accept the general's suppression, if the two sides eventually use force, of course, with the general's troops , it will definitely calm down, but if this happens, I am afraid that rumors will spread that the imperial court plans to attack other tribes in the southwest.

"In this way, the various tribes here are already practicing their soldiers and horses for self-defense. If such news spreads, doesn't the general feel that there will be chaos?"

"This..." Zhang Fan's words caused Liu Xian to fall into thinking. After thinking about it, although the expression on Liu Xian's face clearly agreed with Zhang Fan's words, the things he said were different. That's not the case, "Master Zhang's words are good, but no one can be sure what will happen to this kind of thing. Those people may or may not be chaotic,"

"That's right, that's what the general said," Zhang Fan said, "After all, things haven't reached that point yet, and none of us know what will happen then, but the general has ever thought about it, what if, what if If there is a real mess here, what will the situation be like then?

"Besides, there are many tribes here, and maybe they won't all rise together to make trouble, but with so many tribes, there will always be one or two who will rise first to make trouble. At that time, when other tribes see someone taking the lead, I'm afraid They will all follow and make trouble together, if this is the case, it will be bad, and it’s not that I underestimate the general, it’s just that there are so many tribes here, if the number adds up, it’s really hard to resist, "

"How about..." Liu Xian said, "If you transfer troops from other provinces, then you won't be afraid of these people rebelling."

"It's not appropriate," Zhang Fan immediately rejected Liu Xian's proposal, "I'm afraid those tribes will not be in chaos by then, but we see that we have transferred a large number of soldiers to Sichuan. The Bo people have just been conquered. With so many soldiers and horses, they may feel that we are going to deal with them. At that time, I am afraid that the matter has not started yet, and there will be chaos here."

"This..." Liu Xian lost his mind all of a sudden, "Although what Mr. Zhang said is good, but the situation is like this, neither is this, nor is that, what should we do?"

"Actually, there is a way," Zhang Fan said, "Although the general started the conquest of the Bo people this time, the Bo people's reputation here is not good, so the court's conquest of the Bo people, let alone us Han people Well, even the various ethnic groups in the Southwest, I am afraid there are many people secretly clapping their hands and applauding.

"But now, the Bo people are gone. If you want to make the court famous, then someone has to rebel in advance, and then the court sends troops to fight. In this way, no one will say anything. People from those tribes There would be no reason to rebel,"
