Xizhou.

There are now more than 32,000 soldiers from the Western Regions stationed in Xizhou. It is interesting to say that a month ago, after the Western Regions suddenly increased their troops in Xizhou, they took the initiative to send an envoy to Wuzhou and gave Li Xun an explanation.

Ten thousand troops took a small route to bypass the Western Region, raided Wuzhou, and increased troops in Xizhou, not only for their own safety, but also for the safety of Wuzhou.

If Li Xun hadn't already understood the inside story, he might have been deceived by these sweet words.

In response, Li Xun showed an understanding and grateful gesture, and presented some money and food to the Xizhou garrison in order to paralyze the opponent.

At the same time, the Western Region's request to reopen trade channels was politely rejected by Li Xun, stalling for time. Li Xun knew what the other party was thinking, and used the purpose of trade to find out what was true in Wuzhou. Five people had just arrived.

When Wan Dajun arrived in Wuzhou, Li Xun must not let the other party know.

Xizhou Governor's Mansion, night.

A grand banquet was being held in the Governor's Mansion at this time, and almost all civil and military officials from the entire Xizhou were present.

Such a big banquet is no longer a once-in-a-while event. In just one month, there will be such a banquet every three days, and everyone is still calm in the glorious victory.

Chen Tu, who was sitting behind the military attache on the left, glanced around. When he saw the young man sitting in front of him, a sneer and disdain suddenly appeared on his face.

The governor of Xizhou is called Zhan Heng, who is the younger brother of Zhan Bai, the prince of Anshu.

In the Western Regions, because there are many countries and the land is scattered, there is no official position of governor. After Zhan Bai led the countries in the Western Regions to defeat the Dashi Empire, he relied on his military power and his own prestige to set up governorships in two important areas and provided them with a large number of troops.

When stationed, one's own blood relatives and confidants shoulder important responsibilities, and the power is firmly in one's own hands. This is a very important step for Zhan Bai to achieve hegemony.

Zhan Heng has just turned 20 this year. He needs prestige but not prestige, and needs ability but not ability. The reason why he is able to take on important responsibilities is because he is Zhan Bai's biological brother. Just such a relationship allows him to control everything including Xizhou.

Within it, there are the military and political powers of three or four small countries in the Western Region.

Although many people don't say it, they are extremely dissatisfied in their hearts. Chen Tu is one of them. During the war against the Dashi Empire, he made great achievements several times, but because he is a Han and a foreigner, he is always ignored by most people.

Repulsion and prevention, compared with Chen Tu's achievements, just giving him the position of general is obviously not enough.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Tu felt resentful in his heart and was moved by Fan Zhongyun's righteousness, and finally decided to switch sides.

Perhaps feeling Chen Tu's gaze, Zhan Heng looked at Chen Tu, with a clear look of contempt on his face. He raised his glass and laughed and said: "General Chen, I heard that you are an all-rounder in cultural relics. Everyone is happy today.

Why don’t you come out and dance with your sword to add to the fun?”

Hearing this, most of the people present laughed loudly, raised their glasses at the same time, and shouted Chen Tu's name, asking him to come out and dance the sword.

Chen Tu clenched his fists and his heart was filled with anger, but his face was completely motionless. He stood up crookedly and said unclearly: "I...I will dance the sword."

Chen Tu couldn't even hold his sword steady, so he stood up, staggered a few times, and fell directly to the ground, unable to get up.

Seeing Chen Tu's appearance, the scene burst into laughter again. Zhan Heng glanced at Chen Tu on the ground with disdain, waved his hand and said, "General Chen is drunk, help him down."

Zhan Bai once warned Zhan Heng that if he is not of my race, his heart will be different. After arriving in Xizhou, if there is an opportunity, he will immediately remove Chen Tu from military power. However, Chen Tu was very respectful to Zhan Heng, even his most beloved concubine

They were all seeing each other off. Zhan Heng did not take any action for the sake of face. But for Chen Tu, Zhan Heng felt that being famous was not as good as meeting him. It was too rubbish and not worth mentioning. It would not be too late to take action later.

Two soldiers stepped forward to help Chen Tu leave quickly. Chen Tu shook the sword in his hand and muttered: "Don't understand me, I want to cheer up the governor."

Seeing Chen Tu's appearance, everyone laughed again, but not everyone was stupid. There was a middle-aged general among them. He was also involved in the several years of war with the Dashi Empire. He had seen it on the battlefield.

Chen Tu is so powerful that he can see through it at a glance and knows that Chen Tu is just pretending.

The middle-aged general walked up to Zhan Heng and whispered something in a low voice. Zhan Heng glanced at him in surprise, then put the wine glass heavily on the table and said bitterly: "This barbarian dares to lie to me. I will definitely

I won’t spare him.”

The middle-aged general said quickly: "We should send someone to detain him and then punish him."

Zhan Heng waved his hand: "Let's talk tomorrow, Chen Tu can't escape from the palm of my hand."

Zhan Heng was in high spirits at the moment and didn't want to let this incident ruin his fun. Moreover, he felt that this was Xizhou and he was the biggest. Where else could Chen Tu go?

The middle-aged general said anxiously: "I'm afraid something will change if it's too late!"

Zhan Heng, however, seemed not to have heard the middle-aged general's persuasion. He hugged the beautiful woman next to him, raised and lowered his hands, and laughed so happily.

Seeing this, the middle-aged general shook his head and sighed, and could only retreat.

After leaving the Governor's Mansion and getting on the carriage, Chen Tu still looked like he was really drunk. The soldiers on the left and right were stunned when they saw it. They knew how much their general drank, so what did this little wine mean?

After returning home and entering the house, Chen Tu pushed away and supported the soldiers on his left and right, and ordered to the soldiers on the left: "Take a few smart people and go out to investigate to see if Zhan Heng has any

Send someone to keep an eye on us, go and come back quickly."

"Yes, General."

The soldiers took the order and left.

Chen Tu said to the soldiers on the right again: "Tell everyone to gather in the front yard immediately. Don't bring anything except weapons."

"Yes, General."

After giving the instructions, Chen Tu looked up at the dark sky with a sneer on his face.

Direction to Wuzhou.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the city gate, led by Li Xun.

Li Xun stopped his horse and looked back. On the tower, a rotten head was floating there.

That was Cai Cheng's head. After the city was destroyed, he did not leave. Instead, he became drunk and unconscious. Li Zhong originally did not want to kill him, but Zhao Zhi hated him and issued a secret order to arrest him.

When he lived in Caicheng, his body was cut into pieces by five horses and scattered all over the place as a warning. His head was sent to Wuzhou and hung high on the city tower for more than 20 days.

Li Xun said quietly: "The hatred of a person's death is gone, let him be buried in peace."

Hou Quan on the side nodded and asked a soldier to go and deal with it.

Afterwards, Li Xun mounted his horse and moved forward. Half an hour later, he arrived at the Mulang River, where hundreds of ships and 55,000 troops had already assembled.

"See the Marshal."
