After Zhang Liao captured Mianzhu Pass, Ji Ling's army arrived at Mianzhu Pass the next day. The troops from Hanzhong entered the Shuzhong plain from Mianzhu Pass continuously. Ye Zhao arrived at Mianzhu Pass on the third day with his personal escort under Dian Wei's guard. Fu County was close to Fushui. Although Zhang Lu did not take the water to attack Jiameng Pass, it gave Ye Zhao a good inspiration. The water transport of grain was faster and safer than land. In the past few days, Ye Zhao had been discussing the food route with Zhao Wei and some surrendered generals in Shu.

It was not until the Mianzhu Pass that Zhao Wei truly knew Ye Zhao’s plan. His previous swaying mentality finally disappeared. In the past few days, he recommended many talents from the Bashu area to Ye Zhao.

If we say that Shu is indeed a master of talent, the few people recommended by Zhao Wei are not seen in history, and they are not of high origin. At most, they are similar to Ye Zhao. However, after Ye Zhao and Xi Zhicai's assessment, these people are not bad at all, and they can be regarded as capable officials. Now Ye Zhao lacks such talents, and they are all under Ye Zhao's command. According to his different abilities, he assigned positions. It was not until this time that Ye Zhao finally bid farewell to the embarrassing situation of incompetent officials under his tent.

As for loyalty... Ye Zhao did not consider these false things. He helped him handle government affairs well for one day in office. As for whether he was loyal, as long as he managed properly, in fact, except for a small number of people, most people were blindly obedient. Whether they were loyal was not important. What he needed was the ability of these people.

"Lord, now that Mianzhu Pass is broken, you only need to capture Luo County, and Shu County is in sight. Now, Shu County, Guanghan and Jianwei are only 30,000 soldiers and horses! With the advancement of our army, it is easy to break. However, there is one thing, the lord should take precautions early." After arriving at Mianzhu Pass, Zhao Wei was obviously much more active than before. Not only did he help Ye Zhao introduce talents, but he also actively provided advice.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Wei and smiled.

"If the emperor's uncle knew he was defeated and retreated to Ba County, the lord occupied the land of these three counties. When he fled to Ba County, he would not be able to escape the division in Shu." Zhao Wei bowed and said.

Ye Zhao nodded when he heard this, looked at Zhao Wei with a smile and said, "I don't know, does Junnian have a plan?"

"I dare not make a plan." Zhao Wei said confidently: "I have an old friendship with Ren Qi, the prefect of Jianwei, and Chen Chao. These two people are dissatisfied with the emperor's uncle Yan Zheng for a long time. If the lord is willing, I can go to Jianwei to lobby. As long as the lord can defeat the lord, they only need to set up defenses in the Jianwei area and will definitely be able to intercept him!"

"Then I'll have to go this trip for you." Ye Zhao nodded after pondering for a moment.

Now with the addition of several officials introduced by Zhao Wei, his dependence on Zhao Wei has also decreased a lot. These people are also familiar with the terrain of the plain in Shu. On the contrary, with the addition of Shu people, Zhao Wei's influence under Ye Zhao's command will gradually expand. Before Ye Zhao became a member of Shu, Zhao Wei's power would be too great, and a situation would be formed where the weak ministers would be strong.

Ye Zhao wants to use the talented talent in Shu, but the premise is that he can surround him, rather than beside him, and a small group will appear.

"Don't worry, lord!" Zhao Wei smiled and bowed: "In addition, I have another person who wants to recommend him to him. If the lord can get help from this person, then all the heroes in Bashu will definitely submit to him!"

"Oh? Who is so capable?" Ye Zhaoqi said.

"Ja Long!" Zhao Wei bowed.

"Jia Long?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows. He had heard of this person. In the past, Ma Xiang claimed to be the emperor in Shu, gathered 100,000 people, and was arrogant. It was Jia Long gathering local tyrants to annihilate him. If it weren't for this person, Liu Yan's entry into Shu would probably not have been so smooth. This is a capable person.

"Why would you help me when I heard that this person is welcome to the emperor's uncle?" Ye Zhao frowned at Zhao Wei.

"Returning to the lord, Qiande was indeed the one who welcomed the emperor's uncle at the beginning. However, after the pacification of Shu, the lord was afraid of his reputation. Therefore, he was idle and ordered him to be a lieutenant, but he did not give him military power and lived in Mianzhu County. If the lord could recruit this person, all the wealthy families in Shu would submit to the lord."

"Where is this person now?" Ye Zhao's divine light flashed in his eyes and looked at Zhao Wei.

"It's in this Mianzhu County." Zhao Wei bowed.

Mianzhu County is not far from Mianzhu Pass. Ye Zhao has broken Mianzhu Pass now. The county magistrate of Mianzhu County has already heard of the news and fled, but Jia Long is an idle person, so there is no need to escape. He is still in Mianzhu County.

"I should go to the meeting in person if I have time!" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Junian still needs to run around more about the matter of Jianwei."

"Don't worry, lord, let's go." Zhao Wei bowed to Ye Zhao.

When Zhao Wei left, Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said, "The lord seems to be unwilling to see that Jia Qiande?"

"In other words... I don't want to be a puppet!" Ye Zhao leaned on Hu's bed and looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "If this kind of person was not a last resort, how could Liu Yan abandon it?"

With Ye Zhao's understanding of Liu Yan, he was a person who knew the way of tolerance and had enough mind. Otherwise, there would be no way to gather many talents around him. However, with Liu Yan's spirit, he left Jia Long idle. You must know that if it was true as Zhao Wei said, getting Jia Long alone would be equivalent to receiving the support of the Yizhou gentry, and Jia Long was a person who welcomed Liu Yan. Why didn't Liu Yan use Jia Long to use Dongzhou gentry instead?

"I wonder how the lord wants to deal with this matter?" Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "If you have Jia Long, you can get the support of the gentry in Shu. However, the lord may have to jointly govern Yizhou with the gentry in Shu in the future."

This is also Ye Zhao's family background, he has the power of military power, and Hanzhong has a way out for retreat, otherwise it would have been a common governance.

"Let it go first!" Ye Zhao tapped Hu's bed's handrail and looked at Xi Zhicai and smiled: "Shu can be treated slowly. Now we don't lack time. Let me take down Chengdu first, and then see how the scholars in Shu will deal with it. I will work hard to get here, so I will not be able to decentralize power with me."

"But this person must be used. The lord wants to support Shu. Wouldn't it be a pity if this hero in Shu is not used?" Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.

"The heroes in Shu want to be accepted, but they cannot be asked to take them on my behalf. Zhicai has discovered that during these days, all the recommended ones by Zhao Wei were poor families in Shu. There was no big family in Shu. Since they did not want to come and worship, they would use more poor families. In addition, the scholars in Dongzhou can also choose the best."

"But you have to defeat Liu Yan first, otherwise everything will be nothing more than just talking about it!" Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and reminded.

"The military advisor doesn't seem to have full confidence in me!" Ye Zhao said to Xi Zhicai.

"Zhang Lu was still stationing troops in Langzhong. If the lord cannot fight quickly, Zhang Lu only needs to send troops to Fu County to cut off our retreat!" Xi Zhicai did not answer, but only reminded him.
