Needless to say, when Hou Xun smiled like this, everyone was attracted by him.

The head of the chief, including Zuo Liangyu, all looked at him, thinking he was crazy.

However, Hou Xun quickly stopped laughing and said to them, "If you don't leave the Sunshine Avenue, you will come here without a door to hell! Good come!"

Hearing this, Zuo Liangyu was a little afraid to confirm, so he asked Hou Xun: "What does the military advisor mean? Does the Duke Xingguo?"

"Yes!" Hou Xun glanced at him, then turned to look at the other chieftains, and said to them with confidence, "You think, we have made arrangements in Jianchang City, right? We originally only wanted to deal with Bai Guangen, but Duke Xingguo came by himself. Think about it, he entered outside Jianchang City and lost the right time, place and people. As long as we seize the opportunity, we cooperate with each other, and we will leave him here, right?"

Speaking of this, he saw that the people were skeptical, and knew that they were a little afraid of the 20,000 troops brought by Duke Xingguo, so he continued to say to them: "If we send troops to the back and harass the food routes of the imperial government's army. As long as the food is not transported in, the more the imperial government's army comes, the more food and grass it consumes, and the faster it dies, right?"

Hearing this, the toasts looked at each other. It was obvious that the worry and panic on their faces slowly faded away, and instead they showed the joy of believing and doubting.

However, these chieftains had just experienced a great defeat and fled back from Chengdu in a hurry. Although it made sense to Hou Xun, they did not believe it all.

One of them spoke to Hou Xun, "Sir, but Duke Xingguo brought 20,000 troops, and Bai Guangen's original troops, this strength is extraordinary!"

When the other toast heads heard this, they nodded and agreed.

"Yes! The troops led by Duke Xingguo must be the most elite imperial army!"

"With such a strong strength, is it useful to just do our tricks in Jianchang City?"

“…”

Although Zuo Liangyu didn't say anything, the worry on his face also showed his attitude.

Seeing this, Hou Xun smiled indifferently and said, "Everyone, the number of troops does not determine the outcome of the war!"

Speaking of this, he raised his fingers and began to count: "In the Battle of Feishui, the Former Qin Dynasty had a force of 950,000 troops and nearly one million troops, while the Eastern Jin Dynasty had only 80,000, but he won it in one battle!"

"Also, in the Battle of Julu, the 400,000 Qin troops against the 200,000 rebels of Chu Bawang, were also defeated!"

"The Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Red Cliff..."

After listing some, Hou Xun asked seriously: "Everyone, now as long as we launch all our combat power and start war in places we are familiar with, what if Duke Xingguo has more troops than us? As long as he is left here, the situation in Shu will definitely change drastically. Opportunities must not be missed. Everyone, you must not miss a great opportunity!"

These chieftains cannot know so much history, but Hou Xun tells the story of the story, which is a place, a name, a comparison of troops, etc., and it is not a compiler when he hears it. In addition, they have more or less heard of several of these wars, such as the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, which are more famous.

This gives them a feeling that there are many such wars that win more with less, which is very common.

They thought about it again. This place was their territory. They had already arranged to deal with Bai Guangen. Now that Duke Xingguo is here...

The possibility of leaving Duke Xingguo here even more stimulated them.

Thinking of these, these toast heads were really moved.

However, Hou Xun also made it clear that if they want to win this battle, they need to take out all the money they have in their pockets.

If you can really defeat Duke Xingguo, kill or capture him, even if you take out all the capital in your box, that's not impossible!

So the atmosphere became lively.

Under Hou Xun's leadership, the heads of the chieftains soon made plans and immediately turned around the territory in various places and began to mobilize them.

As soon as they left, Zuo Liangyu, who had not spoken much, confirmed to Hou Xun with anticipation: "Military advisor, can he really defeat Duke Xingguo?"

Although it sounds like no problem, I always feel that it seems unreliable to defeat this Duke Xingguo, and I feel very unsure.

At this time, without outsiders, Hou Xun closed his smile, sighed a long time, shook his head and replied to Zuo Liangyu, "It's not easy to defeat Duke Xingguo!"

"Ah?" Zuo Liangyu was a little stunned when he heard this. He was really convinced when he heard Hou Xun talking. So he asked a little hard to accept, "But just now, didn't the military advisor look very confident?"

After hearing this, Hou Xun sighed and said, "Didn't the Grand Marshal see it? When he heard Duke Xingguo's army arrive, all of these people shouted that they wanted to surrender! Even if they can surrender, can I surrender?"

The two of them were plotting against each other and calling for a clean ruthlessness. This kind of nature is different from a thief. Before Zuo Liangyu could come to his senses, the court would let them go.

Therefore, after hearing Hou Xun's words, he probably understood, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, looking sad, as if he really saw the coffin board.

Seeing this, Hou Xun comforted him again, "But Duke Xingguo dared to lead the army, we didn't have the power to fight. This is not Chengdu!"

When Zuo Liangyu heard this, he cheered up and nodded immediately and said, "The military advisor is right! As long as all these chieftains are willing to sacrifice their strength and gather all our troops, they may not be able to fight!"

"That's what it means!" Hou Xun nodded and said, "We have to sacrifice ourselves, otherwise there will be no place to go."

Zuo Liangyu nodded as she heard this and began to mobilize.

In this way, the chieftain's territory immediately started to fight again. All the money, grain, supplies, etc. were confiscated by the chieftain, and all the men from various families, including the young and old, were recruited. For a moment, they were all in chaos and a little messy.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng, Hou Xun's son Hou Fangxia and Hou Fangyu, they did nothing and still took their personal guards to eat, drink, play with women.

Speaking of which, Zuo Menggeng has been following Zuo Liangyu for a long time and is still familiar with the war. Relatively speaking, he knows the importance of it. However, he can't resist his playmates, namely, Hou Fangyu and Hou Fangxia, two young masters, were ignorant and led him together.

However, this actually felt wronged for Hou Fangyu and Hou Fangxia!

Originally, they were a family of officials and a wealthy family in the Central Plains. One of them was his little overlord in Nanyang. Who dared to provoke him? The other one ran to Jiangnan to be casual, romantic, and very happy!

As a result, all this became a past event. When Hou Xun took Hou Fangyu from Jiangnan, Hou Fangyu really had the intention to kill Hou Fangxia.

Then, they followed and ran around. This kind of life was really enough, and it was not what they thought.

Therefore, they began to play harder.

There were so many beautiful women in Shu that made Hou Fangxia and Hou Fangyu happy, and they brought Zuo Menggeng with him. At the beginning, they just looked for them among the rebels. After all, the population was quite small. No one dared to stop them if they liked each other.

Later, they fell in love with the women in the Tusi territory and thought it had a unique flavor. The Tusi people didn't care about this, but instead thought they could have a good relationship with Zuo Liangyu and Hou Xun. As for those women, they were all serfs of Tusi, so they didn't care.

Now, after escaping to the Xingdusi in Sichuan, these three young men still do their own things, as if they were trying to enjoy themselves.

Zuo Liangyu and others didn't care about their behavior, and the heads of the chieftain didn't care, but the serfs cared about it. They just couldn't resist, or if they resisted, they ended up dying in the whole family, and they could only secretly hate them.

……………………

When Zuo Liangyu and the chieftains tried their best to mobilize the potential of war to deal with the imperial government, Zhang Mingwei led the army to Jianchang City.

Although Bai Guangen gave up the government office, Zhang Mingwei did not enter the city in the end, but led a large army to station outside the city.

Because if he led the army into the city, Bai Guangen's troops would have to leave the city, otherwise, they would drive out the people in Jianchang City?

These are not what Zhang Mingwei wants, and following Bai Guangen's statement, the people in the city are unruly, which means that the situation is not good. Martial law is strictly enforced every day to ensure safety, so it would be better to live in the central army's tent!

So, in this way, the 20,000 army brought by Zhang Mingwei was stationed outside Jianchang City.

Afterwards, Zhang Mingwei did not rush to send troops to attack south, but began to investigate the people's sentiments of Jianchang. How to win the hearts of Jianchang's people was his most concerned.

The Sichuan Xingdusi is naturally centered on Jianchang City, and it is also the most prosperous here. If there are any transactions or markets in the nearby Tusi territories, they will come to Jianchang City. Therefore, the people living in Jianchang City are very complex, and there are people in each Tusi territories.

After on-site confirmation, Bai Guangen's troops did do united front work, but the people here seemed to be very resisting and the effect was not obvious. Even Zhang Mingwei could see that even if the people who were driven aside were not hatred, they were very unfriendly.

Even Princess Kunxing felt this.

Because she tried to send out art soldiers, which was a new Sichuan trick, to perform in the city. However, no people went to see them at all, but Bai Guangen's subordinates were very excited!

What exactly can I change this situation in a short period of time?
