Chapter 826
"Congratulations to Your Majesty for regaining his ambition. As long as he is willing to work hard, with His Majesty's talent, he will definitely be able to dominate the world, and he will never lose to Great Zhou Chai Rong."

"Don't be so polite, how can I be Chai Rong's opponent?" Meng Chang is still a little self-aware. The result of hard work and development is at best to keep the foundation of Shu Kingdom. After all, with Sichuan's natural danger as a shield, anyone who wants to conquer Shu Kingdom It is by no means easy, so as long as you don't do too much, you should have no problem if you want to defend the Kingdom of Shu.

Sun Fangzheng said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. Now that Chai Rong does not have the support of Zongxin, the national power of the Great Zhou will surely decline. Our army can take advantage of the situation and kill them by surprise. Our army has already captured the two prefectures of Fengqin in the last battle. Now it is a good time to occupy the source of the Wei River and be condescending."

Meng Chang pursed his lips and said, "When did we capture Fengzhou and Qinzhou?"

"Your Majesty and Fengzhou Jiedu Envoy Wang Jingchong have been close friends for many years. As long as I use some means, I am not afraid that Wang Jingchong will not be defeated. Didn't the general Wu Yanhongyu propose to His Majesty to send troops twice? With the cooperation of the officials, Fengzhou and Qinzhou have been captured, and now Wang Jingchong is still in the territory of Shu as a hostage." Sun Fangzheng was very surprised, how many years did His Majesty not read the memorial, and he didn't even know about this kind of thing?But Sun Fangzheng is still very good at cheating his own people.

Two years ago, Murong Yanchao colluded with the Tang Dynasty and prepared to attack both sides because of the alliance between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan.At that time, Wu Yanhongyu was going to send troops to share a share of the pie, but because Meng Chang was too cowardly and timid, the dispatch of troops was delayed and the opportunity was missed.However, Sun Fangzheng suggested that Wu Yan and Hongyu seize Fengzhou and Qinzhou first, so he went to see Wang Jingchong in person and told him that this time Shu sent troops to attack Bianliang City and would never attack Fengzhou, so Wang Jingchong was told not to send troops to stop him.

At that time, everyone believed that the Great Zhou Dynasty was bound to perish. Although Wang Jingchong had great expectations for Zongxin, he would inevitably have wild thoughts under such circumstances. It is not certain who will own the world in the future. The Kingdom of Shu was originally a safe place. There is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with Shu.So he promised Sun Fangzheng that Fengzhou would not send troops to stop the Hanzhong army.

As a result, Wu Yanhongyu directly attacked Fengzhou, and Wang Jingchong was caught by surprise, and there was no time to prepare for Fengzhou to be breached instantly.Wang Jingchong fled to Qinzhou, followed by Wu Yanhongyu... Wu Yanhongyu still easily won the battle in Qinzhou, but this time Wang Jingchong did not escape, and he had no chance to ask Guo Wei for help.

After Wu Yanhongyu captured Wang Jingchong, Sun Fangzheng begged for his life, but Wang Jingchong was completely under house arrest and could hardly go out.What's more, with Wang Jingchong's martial arts, it's useless even if he can go out, he can't escape at all.It was only occasionally that Wang Baoyu could go to see him, knowing that his father's life was not bad, Wang Baoyu felt at ease, but was very dissatisfied with Wang Jingchong's capture.

Meng Chang said: "Okay~ But I have to deal with the internal affairs of the Shu Kingdom first, first rectify the government, and then seize the world."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After Meng Chang was free from the pressure of Zong Xin, he suddenly felt that the whole world became extremely clear, and he felt that his life had hope again.If I knew this, I shouldn't have confronted Zong Xin. I should have sent someone to make peace with Zong Xin.Why didn't I think of it before?I always thought that with Wu Yanhongyu's protection, Zong Xin didn't dare to do anything to him, and he didn't even dare to come to Chengdu.Now that I think about it, it would be better if Wu Yan Hongyu died earlier, so that Chao Gang would not be abandoned for so many years.

Of course, Meng Chang would never think that Wu Yanhongyu died well, it was just that he died too late...

Meng Chang and Sun Fangzheng didn't know it at all, they were still preparing to straighten the court first, and then try to seize the world.But at this time Zhao Kuangyin had already rushed to Fengzhou with 3 horses, ready to regain lost ground, and even Hanzhong was also within Zhao Kuangyin's goal.The reason is simple. The first stop after going out of Sichuan is Hanzhong. As long as Hanzhong is in Shu, the soldiers can attack and retreat.

The Shu Road is indeed a broken road, and the four roads into Sichuan are collectively called Sichuan.Soldiers have to travel long distances to reach Hanzhong, and after they have recuperated in Hanzhong, they can go to battle.But if Hanzhong falls into the hands of Da Zhou, Shu will be trapped to death in Sichuan, and it will be even more difficult to send troops to retake Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is particularly important to the Shu Kingdom. Without Hanzhong, the Shu Kingdom will completely lose the opportunity to seize the world. The tired soldiers have no place to cultivate and live, and they will be directly exposed to the Hanzhong army. It must be a hard battle.But if there is Hanzhong, the situation is completely different.

So Chai Rong listened to Wang Pu's suggestion this time, and trapped the Kingdom of Shu in Sichuan first, so that he would completely lose the threat of the Kingdom of Shu, and then he would be able to deal with Tang Dynasty well.Otherwise, it would be meaningless to seize the Kingdom of Shu first. Anyone in the position of the Kingdom of Shu would want to rebel and become emperor.And the most important thing to trap Shu in Sichuan is of course Hanzhong.

The four prefectures around Hanzhong, Qinzhou, Fengzhou, Chengzhou, and Jiezhou, were originally the territory of the Han Dynasty. Because Li Shouzhen was trapped in Tongguan in rebellion, Guo Wei rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor, losing Chengzhou and Jiezhou, but Guo Wei at that time had no time to take care of it.When Da Zhou was flanked by left and right, Wu Yan and Hong Yu once again sent troops to capture Fengzhou and Qinzhou, so that the four states around Hanzhong all belonged to the boundary of Shu.

This should have been dealt with a long time ago, but Chai Rong and Guo Wei have no time.Now that Liu Chong in the Northern Han Dynasty has basically lost his combat power, and Chai Rong has made a fortune because of the extermination of Buddhism, so now Chai Rong's first thing to solve is the affairs of the four states around Hanzhong.Only by completely eradicating Shu's ambition to conquer the world can it successfully attack Datang.

That night
Zong Xin led the two of them to a very ordinary residence, and then opened the door and entered.In the courtyard, an old man was enjoying the shade, holding a big cattail fan in his hand, wearing only a cool undershirt, lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed to rest his mind.He holds a pipe in his right hand, and there are a jug of wine and two cups beside him, as well as a few dishes of side dishes to go with the wine.

Zong Xin wanted to rush up and give him two slaps in this small life. This is an incompetent official who lost two cities, and was captured and put under house arrest by others. As a result, he never thought about running away or doing something meaningful. things, but to enjoy life in this place.

Hearing someone entering the house, Wang Jingchong opened his eyes slightly, and saw Zong Xin and Tianya at first sight. At this time, Tianya had grown very big, but his face was the same as when he was a child, Wang Jingchong still recognized it at a glance.

Wang Jingchong sat up immediately, stepped forward and knelt down on one knee while arranging his appearance.

"Criminal Wang Jingchong see Qi Wang Qiansui, see Master Zong Xin."

"Please get up quickly, it's not suitable for you to kneel on me at such an age." Tian Ya immediately said: "Get up quickly, or Master will beat me again."

Wang Jingchong immediately stood up. He was the first person to know Zongxin's future, and also the first person to foresee Zongxin's future achievements, but he did not expect Zongxin's achievements to be so great.The little bald man next to Zong Xin a few years ago has now become King Qi, and he must kneel down when he sees it, otherwise it will be disrespectful.

"The guilty minister deserves to die. He even lost the two states of Fengqin and asked King Qi to come down."

"First of all, you are not to blame for this incident. It would be strange if you could defeat Wu Yanhong Yu. Secondly... I don't think you look remorseful. You were very leisurely just now." Tian Ya said depressedly: "You I had a better life when I was young... Do you know how much I have suffered by being with Master?"

"I know, I know." Wang Jingchong still knows Zong Xin quite well, and the result of being with Zong Xin is definitely good, but the process must be very uncomfortable, and Wang Jingchong has also suffered from this.

Zong said: "Master Wang, your life is pretty good now. Do you still want to go back?"

"Master Hui Zongxin, I don't want to go back." Wang Jingchong said: "Life is really good now. Although I am under house arrest by the Shu Kingdom, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking. I have wine and meat every day, and I have someone to take care of my daily life. My daughter is also very happy. Filial piety, these days are wonderful. I am about the same age, and it is useless to continue to make contributions, and it is not bad to retire here."

Zong Xin chuckled lightly and said, "It's fine if you're satisfied. I'm just here to see you. If your life is not good, I will definitely punish Meng Chang and let him give you a better treatment. But now you can eat and sleep with me. Don't worry."

"Thank you Master Zong Xin for your concern."

"Father, are there any guests?" Wang Baoyu suddenly came out from the living room, holding a plate of side dishes in his hand, it seemed that he came to add food for his father, and he heard the movement outside and was about to come out to have a look.

When Wang Baoyu looked up and saw Zong Xin, his whole body instantly petrified.This is the person Wang Baoyu misses day and night, why did he come now?If he had come two years sooner... maybe everything would have been different.

"Sister Baoyu, I haven't seen you grow so fat for a few years? This belly looks like you're pregnant..."

"Bah, this is pregnancy." Zong Xin didn't know what was in Tian Ya's head, whether he didn't teach this little rascal well.

Before he could say anything, a man came out from behind Wang Baoyu, stretched out his hands to support Wang Baoyu's arm, and then said politely: "Is there a guest? Is your father-in-law your guest? Stand still, and I will get two more." Make some side dishes in the cup."

No one moved, Zong Xin was embarrassed, because he knew that Wang Baoyu liked him, and Wang Baoyu fell in love with him almost the first time the two met. After all, Wang Baoyu was targeted by flower pickers at that time. The allure of the situation was too great for a little girl.

Wang Baoyu was shocked, and was seen by the person he liked the most when he was most embarrassed.In fact, Wang Baoyu didn't like his current husband-in-law. She was forced to marry this man entirely for the livelihood of father and daughter, so that her father could enjoy his old age in peace.

Wang Baoyu's chancellor is Sun Fangzheng's nephew, Sun Cheng. Now Sun Fangzheng is in power, and he is also a celebrity around Meng Chang, the person Meng Chang trusts the most.Sun Fangzheng is an internal official and has no heirs, so no one dares to stop Sun Cheng from walking sideways in Shu, even Meng Chang has to give him three points, because Meng Chang needs Sun Fangzheng's protection, and Sun Cheng is Sun Fangzheng's only one. hope.
