At the same time, the capital of Sichuan and Shu, Yizhou.

Needless to say how big Yizhou is, it is much more prosperous than Qinzhou. The streets are busy with cars and people coming and going.

The majestic palace is located in the center of the big city.

That is where the Lord of Shu is.

In the hall of the palace, there is elegant music coming out. About a dozen women, wearing gauze, are dancing in the hall. The gauze sleeves are graceful and attractive.

On the seat directly above, Huang Songyuan, the Lord of Shu, put his chin with one hand and admired it.

"Okay, okay, wonderful, wonderful..."

He shook his head, looking slightly tipsy.

Huang Songyuan is almost in his forties. He looks kind-faced and has a well-groomed beard on his chin. He is not the kind of violent or lewd master, but simply mediocre.

To put it simply, his mediocrity means that he doesn't want to care about anything, he likes to enjoy singing and dancing, he lives a happy life, and he is lazy in governing politics.

Next to his subordinate, there was also a Shuzhong civil official, a staff member of the state government, named Fu De.

In this situation, Fu De couldn't help but pick up the wine glasses on the table and prepared to toast Huang Songyuan, but before he opened his mouth, the latter raised his hand slightly, stopped him and said:

"Slow down, this song is not finished yet, don't interrupt it."

"This..." Fu De had no choice but to sit back again.

It wasn't until a while later that the kabuki dance was completed. Huang Songyuan couldn't help but smile and nod his head: "Yeah, okay, okay."

Then he glanced at Fu De again: "What's the matter?"

"Lord." Fu De said quickly: "Today's war in the Central Plains, with all the countries vying for hegemony, even Anyang Hou Yu Anmin is also claiming the title of king in the fiefdom, and my lord sits on the land of six counties in Sichuan and Shu. The territory is so big, it can also be in

The southwest is the king and dominates one area."

"Hey?" After hearing this, Huang Songyuan waved his hand and said: "What does the war in the Central Plains have to do with our Shu land? What should we do? Isn't it good now?"

As he spoke, he sighed sincerely: "Oh, these countries are fighting for hegemony, and the world is in chaos. Only we in Shu can have peace. Okay, okay..."

"This." Fu De choked for a moment, and then said slightly worriedly: "But Lord, if you don't worry about the long term, you must worry about the near future..."

But before he finished speaking, Huang Songyuan interrupted him: "Huh? Sir, you are worrying too much."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the singers and said with a smile: "Dance again."

"Nuo." The singers bowed politely, their voices clear and sweet.

The elegant music started again, and Fu De could no longer speak.

At this moment, a general, wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, was walking towards the palace in a hurry.

He has a resolute appearance, his face is chiseled like a knife, and he has thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"General, stop! My lord, no one is allowed to disturb you." Two guards at the door stopped the visitor.

"Get out of here!" But the person who came didn't say anything, just pushed the guard away with a palm, and then headed straight into the palace with a fierce momentum.

He walked very quickly, and as he walked quickly, the scabbard of his sword hit his armor, making a sound. The dozen or so singers in the hall also subconsciously stopped and stepped aside in fear.

The elegant music stopped, and Huang Songyuan immediately showed an unhappy expression, and glanced at the visitor with dissatisfaction.

"Lord!" The general came forward and saluted with clasped fists.

"What's the matter?" Huang Songyuan frowned deeply and was very dissatisfied with the general's disturbing Yaxing.

The general seemed to be a straight man. After hearing this, he immediately said: "My Lord, as the Lord of Sichuan and Shu, why do you neglect political affairs and enjoy singing and dancing all day long? Isn't it chilling the hearts of the soldiers and the people of Shu?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Songyuan suddenly said angrily: "Are you questioning me!?"

"I don't dare." The general said, "But my lord, this is indeed the case. Sichuan and Sichuan are thousands of miles of fertile land, and there have been no wars for many years. The people should have enough food and clothing, and every household can live and work in peace and contentment. But in fact, this is not the case. If my lord

He can be diligent in political affairs and appease the people, but implementing policies is not enough."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu De and said, "In addition, Mr. Fu, as a staff member of the state government, why do you never give advice?"

"This..." Fu De choked again, but seemed to be intimidated by the general's power and did not dare to say anything.

The person who came was none other than Shu Lieutenant General Lian Xiao.

He is a general. Now that the land of Sichuan and Sichuan is in decline in the hands of Huang Songyuan, it is reasonable for him to come to remonstrate with him.

However, his way of speaking and acting are straightforward, and it is not difficult to see his character from them.

When Huang Songyuan heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore. He couldn't help but pointed at Lian Xiao in the air and said angrily:

"You, you, you! Lian Xiao! You are so bold! How dare you accuse me!"

"How dare you, general?" After hearing this, Lian Xiao quickly knelt down on one knee.

"Hmph!" Huang Songyuan was still angry: "I said! No one is allowed to disturb you, but Lian Xiao! But you ignored my law and forced your way into this palace. What crime should you do!"

"This." Lian Xiao didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Huang Songyuan waved his hand angrily: "Go, go, go! Don't disturb my pleasure!"

"Lord!" Lian Xiao said anxiously.

But Huang Songyuan was already staring and shouted: "Don't back down yet!"

"Yes..." Lian Xiao had no choice but to take a deep breath, salute and retreat.

Looking at his back, Huang Songyuan felt that it was an eyesore.

Lian Xiao felt a little lonely. After returning home, he took out his famous weapon and started dancing in the courtyard to let off steam.

It was a silver spear, and it seemed to be alive in his hands. The strong wind roared, and his marksmanship was tricky and ruthless, and his momentum was astonishing.

And his skills, no matter how you put it, are absolutely nothing compared to the mighty warriors in the history of the empire.

The tip of the gun instantly penetrated the wooden pile, and with a flick of his wrist, the wooden pile was torn into pieces, and sawdust flew everywhere.

In mid-October, Xiao Yuan led the Qin army to attack Shu.

There was an emergency in Tongguan, and when the news came back to Yizhou, Huang Songyuan was shocked. In the main hall, he looked panicked, walked back and forth, and then screamed:

"This, this, this, how could the Qin army attack me! I have never had any grudges with the Qin prefect!"

"Lord." Fu De stood up, raised his hands and said: "Today, there is a great struggle in the world, and Shu has no intention of fighting for hegemony, but it does not mean that others will not attack me. For this plan, reinforcements will be sent immediately to Tongguan to resist the Qin army.

Ah, otherwise, if Tongguan is broken, the door to Shuzhong will be opened..."

"Yes, yes." After hearing this, Huang Songyuan calmed down from the panic and shouted quickly:

"Speed ​​call and continuous roar! Quick call and continuous roar——"

He originally hated Lian Xiao very much, but at this time, he almost felt that Lian Xiao was closer to him than a relative.

After receiving the order, the latter, without saying a word, led one hundred thousand Shu troops, marching under starry night, to attack Tongguan.
