Liu Chen appointed Fan Changsheng as his military advisor and left Fan Ben in Chengdu. This was not his temporary intention, but his premeditation!

After all, Liu Chen wants to stay in Zitong outside, so there will inevitably be untimely communication with Chengdu. It is very important to have a Fan Ben responsible for intelligence!

Of course, in addition to Fan Ben, Huang Chong in the court also had this role!

As for Yizhou people like Wenli, Liu Chen chose to cooperate, but he would not fully believe it. After all, they represent some local tribes, and there are always some limitations.

Not only Liu Chen did this, Dong Jue, who was sent to Mianyang, in addition to supervising the construction of the Wuhou Temple, actually also had the role of monitoring Zhang Yi, Liao Hua and Jiang Wei.

As for Zhang Zun, he went to Zitong one step ahead.

Mi Zhao also took his troops to the road to inspect Nanzhong, and thousands of exiled families were on the same road as him.

The first thing Fan Changsheng did when he was appointed as a military advisor by Liu Chen was to suggest that he conquer the Qiang tribe!

"I have always known that the king has the ambition to attack the Central Plains in the north. Now, Zitong is a reserve for Hanzhong. If the king wants to stretch his fists, he can recruit more Qiang!"

Shu Qiang was a Qiang man who lived in the Han area for a long time and began to adapt to farming and herd horses.

Liu Chen knew that in more than 30 years, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Western Jin Dynasty would recruit a large number of Hu people to fight, and then the Five Barbarians invaded China, so he was very puzzled by Fan Changsheng's proposal.

Fan Changsheng said helplessly

"Yinping, Wudu two counties, the land and mountains are dangerous, the people are brave, and there are many Dijie!"

"And most of Longxi are Qiang, and Han people live in a mixed manner. If the king wants to grasp the news in time, he will definitely win over the Qiang people!"

Not only Yinping, Wudu, Wenshan, and Hanjia County also have most of Qiang, Di, and Fan Changsheng who can be well-informed is mostly due to these people!

Liu Chen understood what Fan Changsheng meant, but he was still worried about appointing Qiang people. Fan Changsheng continued to explain

"King, my Han and Wei are completely different from those of the Qiang people!"

The Wei State has strong national strength, and the Qiang people are mercenaries to them!

The Ji Han nationality is weak, and the Qiang people can supplement the people who have the shortage of military sources for them!

Moreover, Ji Han had great experience in governing the Qiang and Hu, and they all adhered to Zhuge Liang's fair rule of law.

For example: the former prefect of Wenshan, General Anyuan Wang Si!

He expressed his kindness to the Qiang and Hu tribes, and assigned them to the land, so that they could lay horses and sheep, and planted slashes and fire.

This made most people live a worry-free life, and so many evil tribes also joined the Ji Han Dynasty and stabilized the northern border.

Therefore, every time the General Jiang Wei sent troops to the north, the Qiang and Hu tribes would provide horses, cattle, sheep felts, military rations and other supplies!

Liu Chen felt something in his heart when he heard this!

Ji Han's management of Qiang and Hu went deep into the grassroots level, ensuring their minimum food, clothing, housing and transportation. This is equivalent to spending a long time turning Qiang and Hu into their own people!

However, the Wei State did not turn Qiang and Hu into people, so they suddenly gained power and would definitely retaliate against the country!

What Fan Changsheng said is indeed reasonable. At present, the Han Dynasty has a reputation in the hearts of the Qiang people. Most of the Qiang people are willing to serve the Han Dynasty. They can indeed recruit Qiang people to assist them, and at least they can understand the situation of the Qiang people.

"What the military advisor said is that there are many ethnic groups around Zitong, and it is indeed necessary to have a large talent to contact the Qiang people for the sake of the orphans!"

After Liu Chen finished speaking, he thought of the White Tiger Girl who had had an intersection before, and maybe he could ask her for help!

A group of more than fifty people followed Liu Chen to Fan County!

...

At the same time, Zhonghui, located in Chang'an, also ushered in his first meeting.

The three groups of people are clearly divided!

First of all, Zhong Hui and his left shoulder, Liu Yi and Ma Long!

As a political partner, He Qiao was left in Luoyang by Zhong Hui. Whether he is a 25-year-old or a loyal minister, communication with the central government is indispensable!

Li Yin, Du Yu and Wei Guan were the eyeliners that Sima Zhao inserted into Zhong Hui’s side!

The second group was General Deng Ai, the Western Expedition, and his subordinates Tian Xu, Deng Zhong, Shi Zhuo, Duan Zhuo and others. This group of people was considered Sima Zhao's people, but because Deng Ai was not sure about the political situation, he was turned into a marginal figure, and these people could use it.

Others, such as Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, Qian Hong, the prefect of Longxi, and Wang Qi, the prefect of Tianshui, were all controlled by Deng Ai. They fought with Deng Ai many times and could also be considered Sima Zhao's people. However, if they handled it well, they could also become Zhong Hui's people!

As for the third group, Zhuge Xu, the governor of Yongzhou, who is of the same clan as Zhuge Dan and has good abilities, but he has little contact with Sima Zhao, so he can win over or replace him.

Zhong Hui looked at everyone in the hall and sneered in his heart

‘Sima Zhao is really a cunning person!’

Deng Ai's men were originally guarding Yong, Liang and other places, defending Jiang Wei and the Qiang people in the border areas for many years, and they were rare powerful soldiers!

The troops under Zhuge Xu had also resisted the Qiang and Hu, and were considered to be troops with very good combat effectiveness.

As for Zhong Hui's command, the soldiers transferred from various places, it was difficult for Zhong Hui to turn them into his own direct line.

However, Zhong Hui did not show any of it, but began to announce the strategy of attacking Shu formulated by him and Sima Zhao.

Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu have been operating for many years and have evaluated Zhong Hui's plan.

"Although there are few defenders in Hanzhong, the key points have been managed by Jiang Wei like iron buckets. If there are only tens of thousands of people, there will be no return!"

Zhong Hui had expected it and responded directly to the two of them.

"I have already figured out this matter, and I expect to guide Hanzhong more than 100,000 people!"

Facing Zhong Hui's answer, Deng Ai thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"In this way, Hanzhong has no worries. What we are thinking about now is Jiang Wei!"

"If you follow the strategy of General Zhenxi, you will need 60,000 elite troops to surround Jiang Wei!"

"Thirty thousand confronts him head-on, and 30 thousand cuts off his way!"

"In this case, I'm afraid only the governor Zhuge and my soldiers can do it!"

After listening to it, Zhong Hui replied immediately without waiting for the reaction of several people.

"Good, General of the Western Expedition defeated Jiang Wei many times, the elite soldiers were unstoppable for Shu people!"

"The main attack on Jiang Wei will be left to the General of the Western Expedition!"

"Sima Zi first passed away in Luyong. During Liang Dynasty, he left countless powerful soldiers, all under the command of the governor Zhuge!"

"There will be the responsibility of the governor Zhuge!"

"In this way, the training of each department will be the same. After the autumn harvest, you can attack Shu!"

Deng Ai doesn't care. For him who wants to help Sima Zhao solve the problem, it is a good idea to get rid of Jiang Wei in the front!

But Zhuge Xu was innocently pulled up. He had already scolded Deng Ai in his heart for many times. He brags about himself. What's wrong with bringing him with him?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the great achievements in attacking Shu will only fall in Hanzhong, but because of Deng Ai's words, the two were placed in Yinping and Wudu!

But under Zhong Hui's pressure, Zhuge Xu had no choice but to agree.

After the meeting, Zhong Hui was very upset when he looked at the list on Du Yu.

For example: Xu Yi, Tian Zhang, Xiahou Xian, Huangfu Kai, most of these people were Sima Zhao's people, and only Zhong Yong (Zhong Hui's nephew) led thousands of people in his own army.

After Du Yu left, Zhong Hui pulled Liu Yi and Ma Long's hands and said

"I think the generals in the army are mostly children of aristocratic families who are inexperienced. They are all people who love fun. I am worried that the army's martial arts are not good, so I ask you two to help me find warriors!"

When Liu Yi and Ma Long heard this, they responded decisively.
