"Qiao Xuan?"

Liu Yu is very unfamiliar with this name.

"Your Majesty, Qiao Xuan is Qiao Zhou's great-grandson. His father and grandfather are both famous scholars in Yizhou and standard wealthy families in Shu." Xun Sui explained immediately.

As soon as he heard the name "Qiao Zhou", Liu Yu had already understood the meaning.

Qiao Zhou was once an important official of Shu Han and a powerful local tribe in Yizhou. When Deng Aiqi's soldiers approached, it was Qiao Zhou's vigorous persuasion that made Liu Chan decide to open the city and surrender.

This man is very stance that he only protects Yizhou but not Shu Han.

The Qiao clan in Yizhou is very powerful. Even a rebellious strongman like Li Xiong must rely on the assistance of Qiao clan.

"Xi Jian happened to capture Qiao Xuan, so wouldn't he have a channel to contact Qiao?"

Liu Yu already understood the meaning.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qiao Xuan is the Censor under Li Xiong's command. He can be said to be of high power. Now he is captured by Mr. Xi. He has agreed to be the supporter of our army. Taking Yizhou is like taking things out of his pocket."

Xun Sui said excitedly.

These clan members of Qiaozhou, Yizhou, were originally dissatisfied with the occupation of Yizhou by Badi and Li Xiong.

They are all noble families of gentry. Now a group of Di people who came from somewhere have become emperors and princes, but the Qiao clan has become servants. How can it be convinced?

What's more, Li Xiong and other Di people made enemies on all sides and were almost always fighting and fighting.

First, Wang Dun of Jingzhou led his troops to invade, and then he fought with the Han army for Hanzhong.

The manpower and material resources spent on continuous battles were all contributed by the wealthy families in Shu represented by Qiao.

"Immediately send someone to tell Xi Jian that as long as the Qiao clan in Yizhou can be an internal support, I will use the Guanzhong Silizhou as the backing and fully support him in Yizhou." Liu Yu immediately made a decision.

The current situation is like a cheating for Liu Yu.

The Murong clan in Liaodong had surrendered, and the Sima Bao generals in Qinzhou were about to rebel. Now the powerful Qiao clan in Shu was about to become a front pawn.

If this situation continues, I am afraid that within one year, Liu Yu can completely wipe out all areas outside Jiangdong.

"Tell Xi Jian again, no matter how Li Xiong was injured, the people in Shu were willing to be separated. I will be ready to mobilize the troops from Yongzhou in Guanzhong to reinforce Hanzhong. I will never give Li Xiong a chance to breathe."

"Send people to recruit the Diqiang area in Wudu and tell them that as long as they surrender now, everyone can get official positions, regardless of their origin, only about their merits."

Liu Yu expressed a series of measures to support Xi Jian.

After hearing this, Xun Sui couldn't help feeling a little inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, the Di Qiang in Wudu area has always been close to Li Xiong and others. How could he surrender easily? If he sends people to buy and win over, he will be in vain. If these barbarians humiliate the envoys again, wouldn't they lose the reputation of the king's army?"

Liu Yu had his own considerations about this doubt.

"The Di Qiang in Wudu and other counties are all potential minions of Li Xiong. I sent people to win over them, but I don't really expect success, just to differentiate them."

"Different them?"

"Yes, it's just to divide them. I want them to know that the army of the Han Dynasty will soon enter Yizhou to destroy Li Xiong and pacify the fierce battle in Shu. It's not something they and the barbarians in the western front can participate."

When Xun Sui heard this, he immediately agreed.

According to Liu Yu's method, it would be difficult for Li Xiong and other enemies to mobilize the rest of the waiting and watching Di Qiang tribes.

At that time, besides his own Di people, Li Xiong could only count on the powerful Yizhou represented by Qiao.

Qiao and others have long become leaders.

The more Li Xiong counted on them, the more powerful he became when Qiao and others turned against each other.

The envoy who set out from Yecheng ran towards Hanzhong at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

Hanzhong City.

Xi Jian, who was in charge of Hanzhong as the general of the Central Supervisor, finally waited for Liu Yu's reply.

After eagerly reading the secret letter, Xi Jian's face showed a joyful smile.

"Mr. Xi, how did Your Majesty respond?"

A middle-aged man next to him asked with great concern.

"Don't worry, Brother Qiao, Your Majesty has already given a reply. The manpower and material resources of Guanzhong Sili have been allocated to me. It will be a matter of time to explore Yizhou."

After hearing Xi Jian's words, Qiao Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yizhou is Qiao Xuan's ancestral land, and the wealth accumulated by generations is in Yizhou.

Qiao Xuan was captured by accident during the previous battle. If the Han army did not take action against Yizhou for a long time, it would mean that Qiao Xuan might not be able to return to Yizhou.

Because after Emperor Chengguo Li Xiong retreated, he did not know that his censor Qiao Xuan had been captured by the Han army.

Li Xiong just thought Qiao Xuan died in the chaos.

In order to win over the hearts of the people, Li Xiong also added a fief to Qiao and gave him quite generous pensions.

"That's great. Qiao finally has the opportunity to serve the country." Qiao Xuan smiled with a smile on his palm.

As long as the Han army attacked Yizhou, Qiao Xuan would have his own secret channels to contact Qiao clans and other tribes.

Through his own means, Qiao and others can become the supporters of the Han army.

Back then, his great-grandfather Qiao Zhou was only persuaded Liu Chan, the late Shu Han lord, to surrender, and was praised by the Sima family to "preserve the country".

Now I directly helped the Han army to seize the pass and the road to destroy Li Xiong and other enemies.

This contribution is much higher than that of his great-grandfather.

At that time, no matter how hard the Qiao family was, there would be a marquis!

"It's not too late, I'd better go and prepare quickly." Xi Jian said seriously.

"Mr. Xi is right. I will prepare immediately. It takes less than half a month to make half of the people in Shu welcome the King's Army!"

Qiao Xuan immediately patted his chest to make a promise.

After sending Qiao Xuan away, Xi Jian fell into thinking again.

Now Xi Jian represents Liu Yu and is in charge of Hanzhong County.

If we send troops from Hanzhong County to attack Chengdu, it is far from enough to attack all the way from Hanzhong.

The mountains along the way are rugged, unless you have particularly good luck to deal with all the obstacles of the enemy.

Otherwise, if you encounter any setback, you may be in danger without waiting for Qiao and others to respond.

"There are still too few troops. If another elite soldier comes from Wudu and Yinping launches a surprise attack, two-pronged approach will definitely be safe."

The more Xi Jian thought about it, the more he felt that another strong soldier must come to help, so as to ensure that there is no big risk in attacking Li Xiong in Chengdu.

"The soldiers and horses who stayed in Guanzhong are all new recruits, and the elite soldiers have come to Hanzhong with me. If I were to dispatch troops from Sili, I don't know how long it would take."

Xi Jian thought, but fell into deep thoughts.

A moment later, Xi Jian suddenly came up with an idea.

He immediately took out the paper and pen, and after a flowing pen, he had finished writing an order in the name of the General of the Central Supervisor.

The position of this general of the Central Supervisor is temporary, and he can be said to be extremely powerful in controlling the officials, people and soldiers of Guanzhong Prefecture and County.

"Come!"

After Xi Jian dried the ink on the letter, he stamped his own seal and then shouted outside.

A confidant followed immediately.

Xi Jian said without hesitation.

"I have an urgent military order of 100,000 yuan. You can take it immediately and go to Anding County in person and hand it over to Gou Xi there."

"General, what else do you need to say about the villain?"

"Don't worry about the rest, just send this military order to Gou Xi."

Xi Jian said calmly.

The entourage immediately took the military order, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Xi Jian again.

"Hold on!"

"What are the general's instructions?"

Xi Jian did not answer immediately, but turned around and took the scepter behind him and handed it to his hands.

"This is the stick of ceremonial stead given to me by Your Majesty. You should also take it with you. You must let Gou Xi follow my order immediately."

A few months ago, the Tuyuhun Xianbei in the Helan Mountain area joined forces with the Qifu Xianbei in Longxi to fight against Gou Xi.

Gou Xi relied on his strong army and powerful soldiers. After several battles, the Tuyuhun tribe led by Tuyan had a completely temper.

On the contrary, the Qifu Xianbei, whose power is even weaker, is like a young strongman who cannot be beaten to death, and is in peace and rushing to attack.

Gou Xi led the middle of his troops all the way. When he arrived in Anding County, he finally attacked and killed Qifu Shuyan and settled most of the Qifu Xianbei.

Therefore, Xi Jian immediately thought of dispatching Gou Xi's troops to Anding County, and asked him to attack Yizhou through Wudu and Yinping.

Xi Jian led the troops of Hanzhong County to approach Chengdu as the main force of the attack.
