After occupying Chengdu Prefecture with thunder, Cao Hua did not rush to send troops to attack the surrounding counties and counties, and no one in other prefectures and cities was panicked, but he just stepped up his guard and guarded.

As the governor of the Luchuan Army, Han Qi ran to Chengdu with 50,000 troops to quell the rebellion. On the way, she met Cao Hua. The two of them had a long conversation, but they were still using the unspeakable imperial edict.

Han Qi originally suppressed Cao Hua's expansion before the arrival of the Northwest Imperial Army. With the troops in his hands, he could not chew on Chengdu Prefecture. The two sides naturally reached a tacit understanding. Han Qi swayed and led 50,000 troops to camp more than ten miles away from Chengdu Prefecture, and put on a siege. Cao Hua stayed in Chengdu Prefecture without running anywhere. After Wang Bing's army, Han Qi slapped her butt and left.

Seeing the situation stable, the court was not too anxious. It was planning to plan in the capital and dispatched Qingzhou's recruited troops and the northwest imperial guards to advance to Shu. As long as the army was together, Cao Hua would naturally be removed from the list.

But is it really that simple?

Cao Hua negotiated everywhere to reduce the fighting spirit of the court, try not to have major conflicts, and let the court put aside its guard in order to gain time and avoid losing the morale of the army before the artillery is cast, and the team will collapse before the artillery is cast.

The reason he quickly occupied Chengdu was because Chengdu had abundant resources and had enough copper and iron wood to cast artillery and warships.

On the first day of entering Chengdu, Cao Hua contacted the children of several big families in Shu and made a very generous promise to let these merchants and wealthy merchants press on him. At the same time, he acquired workshops to recruit craftsmen and built firearm workshops on a large scale. Leaded by thirty skilled workers brought from the capital, he began to cast the "Grandmaster Gunnar's gun" day and night. The shipyard also started construction and began to build gunships.

With complete casting technology, all that is required to build a production line is money and people. It just so happens that Cao Hua has a little bit of these, but it is obvious that it cannot be completed in a short time. More than 7 million taels of silver cannot support him in expanding his troops.

When leaving Hangzhou, Wan Qin had already started to make artillery in his workshop. Wanjia already had metallurgical technology and had a complete method. It took about a month to start the construction of mud-molded cannons to be launched. The first batch of artillery has been formed. The passing rate is unclear, but it has been loaded on the ship. However, it has been flown upstream along the Yangtze River from Jiangnan and arrived in Chengdu for at least four months. It is currently undesirable.

A workshop has been built in the Shu King's Village, and it has begun to cast artillery in the form of assembly lines day and night. It will take one month to launch the artillery.

According to the current size, Shuwangzhai and the workshops in the city can send fifty large commander artillery at the end of April.

The next thing is a crushing victory, and you will defeat the imperial guards and be afraid of them.

The merchants and aristocratic families who had influenced over Shu and even the entire Song Dynasty would only invest in those who they thought could succeed. Only by showing the strength to defeat the main army of the court, would the aristocratic families in Shu and even the Song Dynasty put their treasures on him. Even if they didn't go to talk, they would take the initiative to come to the door to send money to their wives, provide food, grass and military pay for him to recruit soldiers.

Only when the soldiers under his command have great victories can they have the confidence to rebel with him.

As long as a complete industrial chain is formed, a large arsenal will operate with all its strength, and with enough copper, iron and silver, it only depends on how fast it can be built.

The imperial court wanted to launch the artillery casting technology, which took not less time. After all, as a time traveler, he had been exploring for two years to build it.

As long as he has established himself, he can cast nearly a thousand artillery pieces in just half a year.

Everyone knows the lethality of the artillery against the cluster targets. Five hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty's "Battle of Ningyuan" used eleven cannons to repel 60,000 cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty. He did not believe that the Song Dynasty imperial guards, mainly heavy infantry and crossbows, could withstand the artillery clusters bombarded and attacked the city three miles away. The technological crushing of more than 500 years is not easily compensated.

After gaining a firm foothold, he took Chengdu Prefecture as the base and followed the Yangtze River down the Yangtze River and reached the south of the Yangtze River. The east and west echoed the Song Dynasty into two pieces, and fought northward toward Bianjing, but could not defeat him and went directly to Fusang to be the king of the mountain.

Of course, the premise of all this is to defend Chengdu Prefecture.

Before the Northwest Imperial Army arrived, the only thing Cao Hua could do was to stabilize the situation and wait for the first wisp of smoke that swept across the Song Dynasty to rise on the city walls of Chengdu Prefecture...

The night wind was as gentle as the wind, and a large mansion on the right side of Wangjiang Tower was brightly lit. The plaque at the door was replaced by the "Shu Prince's Mansion". Hundreds of maids and servants walked through it, and their faces finally felt a little more joyful. After all, this place is much more comfortable than the villages in the mountains.

Xie Yijun stood at the gate with her waist, looking up at the huge plaque, with a little proud look on her face. After all, she wrote this with her own hands. Although her handwriting was not very swaying, she looked domineering.

There were many black feather guards at the door, and thousands of people from the Shu King's Village were also stationed around. There were constant singing and dancing in the Wangjiang Tower. You can see Cao Hua and the wealthy families who stayed in Chengdu in Shu to exchange cups. Li Shishi and Su Xiangning sat by the window playing songs, and Zhu Qufei also joined in the fun, swaying around in the Wangjiang Tower building with a pipa.

Xie Yijun hugged her chest and looked at her from a distance, but she didn't know what it felt.

I thought that rebellion was to rush around with troops and live a life of licking blood from the knife, but I didn't expect Cao Hua to rebel like this, so I went to talk to this adult, and the outsider to talk to him, and he asked for money and place with kindness. The key was that he really gave it to me. In just one month, he ran to Chengdu Prefecture.

After thinking a little, this should be the difference in identity. After Cao Hua married the princess of the court, his identity was different, especially now the princess is the emperor's eldest daughter. These officials and families believe in his lies because this identity is in it. If there were no princesses, or just an unpopular princess like Zhao Fei, the officials would probably not pay attention to him.

From the day when Xie Yijun entered the Shu King's Village, she wanted to kill all the corrupt officials and gentry. However, judging from the current situation, Cao Hua was contrary to her and needed to rely on these wealthy families that could rival the country. Then she naturally could not kill the donkey afterwards. Perhaps it would become another Song Dynasty in the future, and would still suck the blood and sweat of the people.

But let her stop her, she couldn't tell any reason. Cao Hua wanted to give the people of Song Dynasty a bright future for himself and his family, but she would also be Cao Hua's family in the future. She has different ideas but the same purpose, so I won't think about it.

Xie Yijun took a breath and saw Madam Jing standing on the yard wall, looking at her toes with her eyes, and chuckled:

"Jing Xue, what are you doing here?"

Jing Xue, dressed in Black Feather Guard's costume, turned around and heard this, her charming eyes were a little embarrassed and she chuckled:

"I can't play the piano and sing music. The two princesses and Mrs. Chen were talking about national affairs, so I couldn't even get into it, so I came out."

Xie Yijun raised her eyebrows and looked a little helpless: "You and I are both martial artists, and I can't get along with those sweet ladies. I'm afraid I'm about the same as you in the future. After the war, I can only stay at home to have babies and have children."

"Well...."

Jing Xue's face turned red, she jumped off the courtyard wall and said softly:

"I am not very capable, and I can only take care of the children, but Miss Xie is different. You are the King of Shu, with tens of thousands of brothers under your command, and you are very skilled in martial arts. How could Lord Cao lock you up at home?"

Xie Yijun sighed, sat down on the stone stairs outside the gate, and thought for a while:

"The title of King Shu is a joke after all. I am a woman, no matter how powerful I am, I am still a woman. I will still be his if I will defeat the world in the future. Although I have more than 10,000 brothers, I am far less valuable than the princess' identity... I knew I had just met the next year before, so I tied him back to Western Shu..."

Jing Xue also sat down next to her, put the official knife on her legs, and chuckled:

"Miss Xie doesn't want to be a concubine?... Yes, it's justified to be a queen with such a powerful figure, but Lord Cao has already married a princess. If the rebellion succeeds, the prince will definitely be the princess' son. Miss Xie's son can only be the princess..."

Xie Yijun raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment: "What she said makes sense... I blocked his arrows and betrayed my brotherly friendship for him. Even the village was handed over to him. In the end, I could only be a concubine, which was a bit unworthy... Forget it, if you don't marry him, you might be able to become a queen..."

Jing Xue was startled and immediately became frightened and pulled Xie Yijun's arm: "Miss Xie, don't take it seriously, I'm just talking. If Lord Cao knew that I broke up the couple, I would kill me..."

Xie Yijun turned her head and saw Jing Xue's eyes full of fear, frowned slightly: "He still hits you?"

Jing Xue pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Cao... likes to hit women very much. Miss Xie is rare to have never been beaten by him?"

"Nan Yijun and Bei Cao Hua naturally fought against each other. I once hung him up and beat him, but later I saw that he was a good person, so I deliberately lost to him."

"Is that true?"

Jing Xue blinked her eyes and looked up and down in surprise: "I thought Lord Cao was invincible in the world, but it turned out that she could not beat Miss Xie."

Xie Yijun supported her chin with her hands and nodded seriously:

"I met Cao Hua on Shiquan Lane in Bianjing the next year. I held the 'Shui Dividing Double Dragon Stick' in my hand, and Cao Hua hung the 'Xuantian Hunyuan Sword' on his waist, and he fought with him with one word..."

"Xuantian Hunyuan Sword...isn't Bao Daoyi's weapon?"

"Uh... have you heard of "Water Margin" too?"

"Of course I have heard it... But what Mr. Cao said was obviously unrealistic. Song Jiang was gone. Fang La was from Tong Guanping, and had nothing to do with Liangshan..."

"......It's all made up by him, how can you take it seriously? Anyway, I have fought with Cao Hua, guess what?"

"Fight for three hundred rounds?"

"Haha... I only used 70% of the time and let Cao Hua go with two sticks. Thinking that he is a teaching material and saved his life. I never thought that he had never met an opponent in his life. He was suddenly beaten down by me and started pestering me..."

"Then Miss Xie fell in love with Lord Cao?"

"As the saying goes, 'The wise girl is afraid of being entangled'. When I saw that he was good at speaking and had a good reputation, I agreed to him... Sister Xue'er? Why did he get hurt by him?"

"I... I saved my brother in Queshan County. Lord Cao got the aphrodisiac and couldn't help it..."

Xie Yijun was stunned and turned her head, looking a little inexplicable: "Are you fooled? If Cao Hua had Chinese medicine, he would have died long ago. I would not invade all poisons, so he would definitely be the same."

Jing Xue hooked her hair in her ears and looked a little embarrassed: "Miss Han'er said the same thing, I...I think Lord Cao is pretending too."

"Don't think that he's just pretending to be greedy for your body..."

“That’s right….”

Jing Xue pursed her lips. She wanted to be angry, but she was married, so what else could she say, but she was just curious:

"Miss Xie's figure is rare, so she is just a little shorter than Lord Cao. Her legs are longer than me, her chest is bigger than Princess Fei'er, and she is more beautiful than Li Shishi. She must not be afraid of trouble. Lord Cao will definitely be more greedy for you..."

Xie Yijun's face turned slightly red, she sat up a little, coughed lightly, raised her hand and touched her cheek: "He...is naturally greedy, but you know my skills, he has never touched my hands..."

"Then how did you fight?"
