Prime Minister take care

Chapter 272 I don't really care
badi.

The mountains block it, and the mountain roads spread.

Disheng walked on the mountain road and saw the slightly crude outline of the village.Along the way, Disheng found many old acquaintances on both sides of the road.

These familiar and unfamiliar faces looked at Disheng full of wariness and hostility.

The person who led the way was familiar to Disheng, he was Rong Can's lieutenant.Disheng and Rong Can, including the lieutenants around him, had all fought together to kill enemies and had drinks at the same table.

But since seeing Di Sheng, he didn't say a single unnecessary word and just walked forward, as if the person behind him was just a stranger.

The cottage was built on a slope halfway up the mountain. It could no longer be described as simple. It was just a few drafty houses with some hay thrown in.As the leader of the village, where Rong Can lives, it seems to be a temple built by local people.

Disheng walked in. There were no sculptures or other statues in the temple. There was only an empty earthen platform.

Rong Can stood in front of the platform. He hadn't seen him for a long time. He was no longer the Liang General in Disheng's memory.

Today, Rong Can is dressed in brown clothes and has no armor. He seems to have lost several pounds. He looks very strong, with rough and black skin. The heroic look on his face is still the same, but it is not as majestic as before.

"Brother He Fang, I am here today because I have been ordered by the Prime Minister to recruit you to surrender."

Rong Can looked at Disheng, a chuckle rising on his originally expressionless face.

"Is that all you want to tell me?"

"Brother He Fang, you are in this barren land with little food and clothing. How long can you hold on? Even if you, Rong He, can hold on, are you willing to stay here forever?"

"enough!"

A burst of anger appeared on Rong Can's face, and he shouted loudly.

"The reason why I am willing to see you is not because I want to hear these words of persuasion to surrender. It is because of you that General Huan Biao died tragically in the hands of the rebels, and our army suffered a huge defeat. To those brothers who died, you really Don’t you have anything to say?”

Rong Can was very excited, but Disheng was very calm, as calm as a sculpture.

"Two armies are at war, and each of you, his master, has his destiny, life and death."

"Hahahaha!"

Rong Can laughed loudly, pulled out the sword from his waist, and pointed it at Disheng.

"Well done, my lord. Jiang Zhou, Fang Pei and the others were originally demoted generals. If they want to rebel against me, they have nothing to say. But what about you? You were promoted from a soldier to a general by your lord, in just ten years. .Di Wenxiu, what qualifications do you have to say this?"

Facing Rong Can's long sword, Di Sheng was not surprised that he would chop off his head with a knife the next moment.But he was not afraid, and instead took two steps forward.

"Huan Wu was not kind to me, but for the past ten years, I have fought for him in more than 43 battles. In every battle, I did not avoid swords and arrows and charged forward. I overran sixteen cities and was injured in [-] places. I was defeated by the Shu army. After being captured, I was imprisoned in Baocheng Pass. Huan Biao never thought of me, let alone rescue him. If the master is unkind, how can I be loyal? I have already paid back what was due. Why not surrender to another master again? "

Dickson spoke righteously.After listening to his words, Rong Can's murderous intention became much lighter, and the blade was not as cold as before.

"Brother He Fang. The reason why I am willing to come here is not to make meritorious service. Huan Wu burned down the plank road and led his army back to the north. It is clear that he has regarded you as abandoned sons. I just looked around, and I am afraid that you are near your camp. There are ten thousand people. It is not easy to lead these ten thousand people to make a living in Badi. You and I both started as a small soldier and rose to the position of today's general, so we should understand that a good bird chooses a tree Qi. Huan Wu has abandoned you, and if you vote for another master, you will not be regarded as traitors."

"enough!"

Rong Can shouted, interrupting Di Sheng's words. "I remember your kindness in sacrificing your life to protect me, so I won't kill you today. Tell Yang Xian, even if I, Rong Can, and thousands of my brothers starve to death in this Badi, they will not surrender to him. Let him give up!"

Xian City, Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Cai Tong and Hou Shen launched an army to attack Liang?"

Yang Xian held the fan in his hand and seemed a little surprised when he listened to Yan Le's report.

As a subordinate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and Yang Xian's staff officer, Yan Le rushed over as soon as he received the information.

At this time, Yang Xian was calculating the expenses of the Shu Kingdom with others and arranging advance payment.Yan Le hurried over, with a trace of redness on his face.

This made his brother Yan Yi a little dissatisfied. After all, what the wealthy families like them pay attention to is tolerance.However, in front of Yang Xian, Yan Yi couldn't act like an elder brother.

"Yes! Just three days ago, the Wu army that had just withdrawn its troops marched north again. Under the leadership of Wu Lord Hou Shen, they went up the Huaihe River and pushed into Xuzhou. The Wu army marched very fast, and the Liang army along the way was not organized at all. Set up an effective defense. I’m afraid it won’t be long before Hou Shen can enter Xuzhou.”

Yang Xian took the information in Yan Le's hand and took a look.

"These two guys, Cai Tong and Hou Shen, are trying to take advantage of the situation!"

Liang Jun was newly defeated and his morale was low.The Wu and Chu armies went back and caught Liang Jun by surprise, which was indeed unexpected.

"Looking at Hou Shen's troop deployment, it's obvious that he is serious about it and wants to swallow Xu in one fell swoop!"

"Prime Minister, Xuzhou is an important town in the Central Plains. It is impossible for Huan Wu to let Xuzhou fall into Hou Shen's hands."

Yan Yi cupped his hands and said.Yang Xian nodded, looked at Yan Le, and asked, "What's going on in the capital city?"

"Our spies have come to report that since Huan Wu returned to the capital of God, news has spread from the Marquis of Liang's house that he is seriously ill and needs to be nursed back to health. At present, most affairs in the court are presided over by Huan Qing and Huan Yi. As for the affairs in the army, Huan Zhong, Huan Gong and six generals of the Liang Army presided over it."

"Sick?" Yang Xian murmured slightly, "What is Huan Wu's plan?"

"I am also a little strange. In response to the offensive of the Wu and Chu armies, Liang Jun's response was very conservative. He just responded passively. It seemed that his appearance changed overnight. There are rumors in the outside world that Liang Jun went through the last great battle. Defeated, our elite troops have been exhausted, our morale has been lost, and the Central Plains may change hands.”

When Yang Xian heard this, he was noncommittal.

"This old guy Huan Wu is not that easy to fall. Cai Tong and Hou Shen got a lot of benefits from me when Liang Jun conquered Shu. Let them explore Huan Wu's background this time !”

Yang Xian gathered all the documents in his hand and said, "In this way, the expenses of Yizhou will be arranged like this!"

Yan Yi stood up, looking a little hesitant.

"Prime Minister, the expenses in the palace have always been separated from those in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, in order to pay for the army and local water conservancy and agriculture, is it inappropriate to reduce the expenses in the palace?"

"The national situation is difficult. As the leader of the Shu Kingdom, how could your Majesty not know that Yizhou is in a state of exhaustion now? Your Majesty is obedient and your family is strong. At this critical time, it is time for Your Majesty to set an example."

Yang Xian waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
