Chapter 288 Can't wait

The winter snow has not subsided, and the roads on the mountain are difficult to walk.

Zhu Qing, the garrison of the Changce Army in Langcheng, brought a hundred soldiers to escort five carts of supplies to the road to Liangjun camp.

The snow is covered with snow in the distance, and the ancient road is connected with the green pines. Zhu Qing is the chief general of the Changce Army stationed in Langcheng, and under his command, he manages ten thousand soldiers. According to principles, there is no need to come in person to transport materials, and send a centurion.

However, after accepting Yang Xian's order, Zhu Qing had no complaints because he was also very curious about the situation in the mountains.

Zhu Qing was over forty years old and was the general who had joined Shu with Yang Zhong. As a monk in the army, he was at a time when he was full of energy.

Zhu Qing had two beards, handsome eyebrows and elegant temperament. If it weren't for the thin scale armor on her body, she wouldn't have seen that she was a general at all.

He strolled over the soil, looking at the gradually emerging outline of the village in the distance, and felt even more curious.

There are almost no towns in the mountains of Badi, and they are all inhabited by Tuyi. Since Rong Can brought the remnants of Liang's army into this place, it has attracted Zhu Qing's attention.

First of all, Rong Can's command was the elite of the Liang army. Although there were only a few thousand people, if they met in the plain, even if they were to shake the same number of Western Liang Iron Cavalry, they would not be at all inferior, or even worse. Of course, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry would not be stupid enough to fight against the Liang army's heavy armored infantry.

Even in the Liang army, there were only 50,000 such troops, which was the family that Huan Wu had saved over the years. When the eight heavy armored armies followed Huan Biao into Yizhou, the 20,000 heavy armored armies were broken up in the battle of Zhounan. Now, only about 5 or 6,000 people were left by Rong Can, and they could not return to the north. They entered the mountains of Badi together, and even colluded with a local force called Heifengzhai, which looked like bandits and bandits.

Of course, this is just one of the reasons that attracted Zhu Qing's attention. What's more important is that a few months ago, the news of the disappearance of the King of Shu came out, causing chaos in Shu.

In fact, the King of Shu had also disappeared a few years ago, but Yizhou was calm that time. After all, when Xia Gong Ni was abducted by Meng Xuan, the Xia family behind Jian Changshi needed to join forces with the Prime Minister's Mansion to save Xia Gong Ni. The two sides suppressed each other and Yang Chun was in charge. At that time, Yizhou was calmer than before.

But now it’s different. Yang Xian just defeated the Liang army in the Battle of Zhou Nan, with a rainbow of momentum and prestige rising steadily. At this time, Xia Gongni suddenly disappeared, and Yang Xian disappeared for inexplicably for two months. From the outside, how could the Prime Minister’s Mansion not care about this matter at all, so how could the Xia family not be shocked?

Yang Xian held the military power of Yizhou and commanded tens of thousands of troops. Now the generals and schools guarding the army in various parts of Yizhou are either Yang's troops or surrendered generals loyal to Yang Xian himself.

Anyone with some abilities in Yizhou's aristocratic families either died like Li Bi or Zhang Bo, or they defected to the Prime Minister's Mansion like Yan Yi.

The Xia family wanted to use Yang Xian to check and balance the aristocratic families in Shu Kingdom. However, they never expected that everything would be out of their control. Yang Xian completed the task very well, but the completion rate was far beyond their expectations.

So much so that now, there is nothing left in their hands except the tens of thousands of imperial guards in the Shu Palace.

In the eyes of the Xia family, Yang Xian has eliminated dissidents, arranged close friends, suppressed aristocratic families, and surrendered foreign troops. While plowing Shu, he firmly controlled the military and political affairs of Shu, but they could not stop him at all. Yang Xian was self-dedicated, even more so than Huan Wu.

And all the contradictions, because of the disappearance of Xia Gong Nie, completely intensified, and because of the letter sent by Rong Can, broke out directly.

At this moment, the Fucheng hundreds of miles north of Xiancheng, Jian Changshi was confronting Jin Xin's Black Army with the imperial guards, while Qin Feng's arrival with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry made the confrontation even more complicated.

Jin Xin and Qin Feng were not from Shu, but they all held extremely strong military power in their hands. Even Changshi Jian dared not start a war easily. The two of them were not afraid of being embarrassed with the Xia family, and they were even looking forward to fighting the imperial guards.

The confrontation in Fucheng made Yizhou chaotic, but Zhu Qing didn't care. Because the key to unlocking this chaos was in the front copycat.

Zhu Qing did not believe that Yang Xian would rebel and become independent. They needed the Xia banner to attack the Central Plains in the Northern Expedition. However, Yang Xian's almost indifferent attitude made Zhu Qing full of curiosity.

And all the answers are ahead!

The gate of Liangjun's village slowly opened, and a team of people ran out of it.

Zhu Qing was a little confused. Liang Jun's reaction was too strange. He neither seemed to be welcoming nor guarding.

It feels like running away!

When he got closer, Zhu Qing realized that he seemed to have nothing wrong with his feelings.

At this moment, Liang Jun was like his galloping towards him, with a thin figure, haggard expression, yellow complexion, and his clothes were rotten, and his beard was as if he was a savage.

The head captain Hong Quan held Zhu Qing's hand, his eyes filled with tears. At this time, he could not tell whether he was crying or laughing, as if he was seeing his relatives.

"Why are you here just now?"

After Hong Quan finished saying this, he stopped talking about the rest, and even ignored the five trucks of supplies, took Zhu Qing's hand and walked in.

This attitude is not like the Liang army who is irreconcilable with Shu?

Zhu Qing was confused. There were not many soldiers or facilities in the Liang army's camp. He followed Hong Quan and went straight to the ancient temple.

Rong Can was holding his shoulders with both hands, his face as melancholy as a philosopher thinking about life. Zhu Qing had fought with Rong Can on the battlefield, but now he met, but he couldn't recognize him.

When Rong Can saw Zhu Qing, his eyes emitted light from his hollow eyes.

"General Rongcan, where are the soldiers in this cottage?"

"We are going up the mountain with King Shu to catch wild boars!" Rong Can took a breath and adjusted his mood. "As long as the Prime Minister is willing to agree to our conditions and provide necessary supplies, we will return the King of Shu."

"General Rongcan, the Prime Minister asked me to come, just to provide you with some supplies. As for other matters, the Prime Minister does not have the right to deal with me on the spot."

"That matter to King Shu..."

As soon as Zhu Qing finished speaking, Rong Can couldn't wait to ask. This attitude surprised Zhu Qing a little, and Rong Can quickly discovered his abnormality and adjusted his tone.

"I heard that Shu Kingdom is in turmoil due to the incident of Shu King, and we are not willing to be enemies with the Prime Minister. The name of Prime Minister's benevolence and righteousness is spread all over the world. As long as he is willing to let us return to the north, we will immediately return the Shu King."

Rong Can's attitude has been very low, and he just wants Zhu Qing to take Xia Gong Nie away as soon as possible.

"I will report this to the Prime Minister. During this period, my king also asked General Rongcan to take care of him."

Zhu Qing smiled and turned around and left.

"Oh! You're leaving like that, no longer later? Brother Zhu Qing, as soon as possible!"
