Chapter 1030: Danger Returns
"But my lord," Liang Chao also panicked a little after hearing Zhang Fan's words, "Now like this, although I don't know what those two people want to do, but it is clear that the matter will definitely not be small, if that is the case, let's not send someone over to find out, in case something happens, wouldn't it make them come out on top, then it will be a big deal,"
"I also know about this matter," Zhang Fan naturally understood, "Liang Chao, you go now, find ten people from below, rush to Yongning Mansion, and find out what is going on for me,"
"Yes, my lord," hearing Zhang Fan's command, Liang Chao immediately stood up and was about to leave, but he didn't take two steps before stopping, "My lord, ten people, we don't know where those two people are now, and if we start to check from below, we don't know what year and month it will be up layer by layer, I'm afraid we haven't heard any news by then, I'm afraid that it has already started over there," In short, Liang Chao is suspicious that there are too few people in the past.
"I know what you mean," Zhang Fan said, "But, this matter can't be done with great fanfare at all, I just said, if you let the people over there know something, then we will be in trouble, so, we can't help but do this thing, but we have to do it very secretively, ten people, it's already the limit, if you say more, it will inevitably let the side see what flaws, and then it's hard to reveal such an opportunity, if they find out, it's not an early attack, It's hidden again, and I don't want to see either of them.
"And, regardless of whether it's good or bad if they hide again, if they attack early because they find out that we've already noticed something, then it will be more than worth the loss for us to send someone,"
"But my lord," Liang Chao said although he listened to Zhang Fan's words, "If we sent these ten people over, but nothing was found out in the end, so we still let the other party ...... Wouldn't it be the same in that case?"
"I naturally understand this," Zhang Fan looked like he had no choice, and said, "But now, there is no other way to do this matter, by the way, Liang Chao, when you send someone down, remember to find a way to notify the Five Poisons Sect, and let them also help check what is going on,"
"Five Poison Sect," Hearing Zhang Fan mention these three words, Wang Meng on the side spoke first, "My lord, are you going to ......?"
"That's right," before Wang Meng finished speaking, Zhang Fan said, "At the beginning, we spent so much thought, this is how we got such a good object, now, isn't this time the time to use it, needless to say, if this time the matter can be solved smoothly, then we won't need it anymore, right?"
Hearing Zhang Fan's words, Wang Meng also agreed and nodded.
"Liang Chao, you understand," Zhang Fan finally said to Liang Chao, "This matter, although the Five Poisons Sect is now standing together with us, but you must not be careless in this matter, if they know, who knows what will change, you have to be secretive about this matter, otherwise, we may be in big trouble,"
"Don't worry, my lord, I understand," Liang Chao nodded, didn't ask anything more, and turned to leave.
Wang Meng waited until Liang Chao left before he spoke: "My lord, what do you think is the point of this matter now?"
"I'm really not good at saying this," Zhang Fan shook his head, shook the letter in his hand, and said, "Judging from this letter alone, things will definitely not be good news, twenty or thirty thousand people, taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to pay tribute to servants, start training, it will definitely not be a boring reason, there must be some plan in it,"
"Is it possible, those two still want to rebel again," Wang Meng asked.
"Very likely," Zhang Fan said with a gloomy face, "Moreover, the rebellion at this time is really a good time, the current situation in the northeast is known to the world, even if there is no connection between the two sides at all, but they also understand that if there is a fight in the northeast, the eyes of the imperial court will inevitably turn to that side, and when the time comes, no one will pay attention to this southwest side, and it is the best time for them to rebel."
"Moreover, now this southwest, it is also very empty, this year's big war, yes, Liu Xian led an army of 140,000, but this 140,000 army has been gathered here since last year, whether it is training on weekdays, or food and grass and heavy things, all are well prepared, plus Liu Xian's preemptive strike this time, so there is this big victory.
"But now, the war is over, and those brigades of men and horses were also mobilized from all over the country last year, because of the high arch, and now that the battle has been fought, these people have gone back, and those who have stayed are only the soldiers and horses in Sichuan, as well as the men and horses brought by Liu Xian himself, which add up to 350,000 people.
"Although there are 350,000 people, it is completely enough to defend Sichuan and mediate the contradictions between the tribes here, but, because of this, these horses of Liu Xian are now distributed all over Sichuan, and at this time, because of the affairs of the servants, the tribes all over Sichuan are very panicked, even if the court will not use force against them, but it is necessary to monitor, but because of this, Liu Xian's people and horses are scattered, two thousand here, five thousand there, and this Chengdu Mansion is left, 10,000 people remained unmoved.
"And now from the news we get, those two people are now hiding near Yongning Mansion, although under the rule of Yongning Mansion, whether it is Sichuan or Yunnan, the territory of the two provinces is occupied, but Yongning Mansion is in Yunnan, even if it is the imperial court, Liu Xian is not good to send troops to supervise.
"Now, Sichuan is the time when the troops are scattered, and for those two people, it is a great opportunity, if they take advantage of the dispersion of Sichuan's troops, plus when the war in the Northeast is about to break out, at this time to rebel, do you think this Sichuan, can you hold it?"
"These two people have a good plan," Wang Meng said after listening to Zhang Fan's words, "As Lord Tong said, today's Sichuan looks very stable, but in fact, there is a lot of danger, although even the news of the servants is done by the Five Poisons Sect itself, but the other ethnic groups, and even the Han people, are also very nervous because of this, and now the troops are scattered, in fact, this is the most empty time, if they really choose such a time to come, it is difficult to stop here."
"My lord, it's hard to say that they didn't choose this time unintentionally, but on purpose,"
"Deliberately," Hearing Wang Meng's words, Zhang Fan immediately understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, but Zhang Fan also recovered immediately, "No, it's impossible, if it's like what you said, wouldn't it mean that the Five Poisons Sect is colluding with them, wouldn't we have completely fallen into the trap of the other party, but it's impossible, if that's the case, we should have received the news early,"
Wang Meng listened to Zhang Fan's words, thought for a long time, and said: "What the adults said is also true, it seems that it is a humble and overhearted, but now in Sichuan, the place with the most troops is this Chengdu Mansion, but even so, it is only 10,000 people, if it is said that 20,000 or 30,000 people over there gather together and attack together, after all, it is like a broken bamboo and difficult to defend."
After all, they only have 20,000 or 30,000 people, even if there are more, 50,000 people, but they are the same, they attack very quickly, no one can hold it, but at that time, this side is not easy to get along with, once it drags on, when General Liu's army is mobilized, they will definitely be finished.
"Unless they drive straight into the country without stopping, but if they go out of Sichuan, Huguang in the east and Shaanxi in the north, all of which are heavily guarded, there is no need to be afraid at all, and if they go south, it will be Yunnan and Guizhou, but the situation there is more complicated than Sichuan, and there is no oil and water to fish at all.
"That Daniel Zhang and Wang Xin, although they are Wei Yinleopard's old department, but the nature of these two people is very different from Wei Yinleopard, Wei Yinbao is honest, and the lowly position is also somewhat admired, but these two people, completely themselves, for the sake of money, the lowly position does not feel that they will do this kind of thing that has no oil and water to fish, and it is even more impossible to take their lives to do so,"
"You're right," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "These two people are by nature, they won't do that kind of thing at all, so we don't have to think too much, even if the other party doesn't move, I can roughly know what they want to do, these two people are entangled with so many people, I don't know how many despicable means are used, but I'm afraid there is only one purpose, two people want to take this opportunity to make a big profit, and when they see that the situation is not good, the two of them may have to run away,"
"Then we are now trying to find ways to make them unable to do it," Wang Meng said, "But this matter is not easy to do, now this situation, even if this side sends troops over, but that side will say that it is a precaution, now in this place of Sichuan, all tribes are like this, this reason cannot be found, if this side has to let those tribes stop, I'm afraid the trouble will be even greater,"
"So, there is no way to take the initiative in this matter," Zhang Fan said, "We still have to take the initiative to meet the enemy, if we are lucky, I am afraid that the other party will be able to retreat without a fight when they see this formation, even if it is unlucky, if it really starts, if there is a defense here, it is better than being attacked by the other party,"
