"Eunuch Tan!"

It was snowing heavily in winter, and the envoys of the court were quietly waiting outside the gate, with snow falling on their shoulders.

Cao Hua walked out of the gate in a white robe and fur, and raised his hand and smiled peacefully.

Tan Zhen and many officials quickly bowed to the ceremony:

"Governor Cao."

Cao Hua walked out of the gate of the Shu Palace wearing a snow-white fur coat, raised his hand, and the Black Feather Guard brought the carriage. He jumped up and made a gesture of invitation:

"Eunuch Tan is here just right. I'm having something to take Eunuch Tan to take a look."

"Well--"

Tan Zhen was a little confused. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to refuse. He slowly walked to the carriage, got on the carriage and sat there.

"drive--"

The 100 Heiyugu led the way, and the carriage slowly walked along the street to the bank of the Mansion River. The officials followed the carriage and looked at each other with their eyes, obviously not understanding the meaning.

Outside the car window is a bustling and quiet street market, and the people respectfully stand on both sides of the road, waiting for the convoy to pass.

Tan Zhen was wearing a purple official robe and sat in a slightly restrained carriage, holding an imperial edict, but he wanted to speak but stopped.

Cao Hua leaned against the soft couch, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine, put it in front of Tan Zhen, with a calm expression:

"Eunuch Tan came from afar, there is no need to be so reserved, just say anything."

Tan Zhen picked up the wine glass with both hands, drank it all in one go, pondered for a long time before he said softly:

"The officials came here to recruit the amnesty... The governor captured the four routes of Sichuan Gorges for half a year. The strength of the troops was obvious to all, but... the governor and the emperor were the father-in-law and son-in-law after all. Now the war in the north is tight. If the imperial court transferred the northern imperial guards into Shu, it would inevitably put the entire Song people in the Song Dynasty before the iron hoof of the Jin Kingdom..."

Cao Hua leaned against the soft couch and nodded.

Tan Zhen chuckled, put the imperial edict beside him on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"If the same clan is the same, the governor has occupied the four routes of Chuanxia. As long as he stops and goes east, the emperor... will withdraw his troops."

Cao Hua nodded: "And then?"

Tan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said softly:

"The emperor discussed with the court officials and painted the four routes of Chuanxia as the fief of the governor, and appointed the King of Shu. Xie Yijun was able to conquer and fight invincible. He was granted the title of the Marquis of the Chancellor, and the wife and concubines of the governor were all granted the title of the wife of the imperial decree... As for the military power in Shu, it was still in the hands of the governor, and they would fight together to fight against the powerful enemies of Liao and Jin in the future to protect the peace of the people of the Song Dynasty forever..."

Cao Hua smiled: "The Jin Kingdom is in the north, I am in the west, and only the Tubo borders. How can we fight against the Liao and Jin dynasties together?"

Tan Zhen smiled and said softly: "It is really unrealistic to ask the governor to travel thousands of miles to the Liao Kingdom to fight against the Jin Dynasty. The governor has built many firearm workshops in Chengdu Prefecture. If it can provide a large number of firearms for the soldiers of the border army..."

Cao Hua started to do his body and stared at Tan Zhen seriously: "What if the court took the firearm and ran back and beat me?"

Tan Zhen's expression froze and thought for a while: "The military weapon supervisor has been imitating the Grand Commander's cannon. There are several cannons left in Bianjing for reference. It will be a matter of time before the imitation is imitated. At most, the imperial guards will be able to assemble in large quantities next year..."

Cao Hua nodded: "It's still a bit tight at that time."

"Uh--" Tan Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "Governor, what does it mean?"

"Haha, you'll know later."

--------

The carriage drove across the long street and gradually came to the bank of the Fu River.

The neatly tidy Shu army stood by the river, with a high platform in the middle, and the big flag of the word "Cao" was flying in the cold wind. Tens of people gathered by the river, but did not make a sound, making the river bank appear solemn and depressing.

Tan Zhen walked out of the carriage and looked up at this scene, feeling a little confused.

Cao Hua, wearing a fox fur, took Tan Zhen through the solemn Shu army soldiers and walked to the exaggerated high platform.

Tan Zhen noticed something was wrong, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he followed Cao Hua tremblingly, looking up at the wide Fuhe River, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he was so shocked that he sat on the platform.

Above the wide Fu River, more than 300 large ships docked together, and there was no end at a glance.

Each ship was covered with the Cao flag, and soldiers were densely packed with soldiers standing on it.

More than fifty cargo ships have been transformed, and black cannons are placed on the deck, like poisonous snakes with cold light.

"Soldiers!"

"ha--"

Cao Hua raised his long sword high, and tens of thousands of troops along the Fu River shouted loudly.

"I, Cao Hua, killed traitors, killed traitors, and carried the infamy of the tyrants who killed lords, just to restore the bright world of the Song Dynasty.

But at this point, there are still traitors in the court who deceived the holy and made a fuss about politics, trying to kill me..."

"who?"

Tan Zhen sat on the ground, looked up inexplicably, and said in a trembling voice:

"Governor Cao, don't talk nonsense, the emperor will not blame you for your past..."

"Since I entered Shu, the army has not disturbed the people, rectified military discipline, opened up commercial roads, and helped the poor. Has it ever killed a commoner by mistake?"

"No!"

"I built a workshop, cast artillery, and recruited soldiers and horses. Have I ever asked the people for a penny?"

"No!"

"I just want to be safe and secure, and take my wife and children to survive in Shu. However, the court ignored the enemy of the barbarians in the north and sent 250,000 troops into Shu, chasing us and fighting each other, causing countless brothers to die. You said, it's hateful, not hateful!"

"hateful!"

Tan Zhen's face turned pale and knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Governor Cao, don't talk nonsense. It's obviously you who chased me and pressed me step by step..."

"I thought that since I had fought side by side with the Imperial Guards, the captured Imperial Guards treated them with courtesy, and after proper treatment, they were released back to their hometown. They had done their best.

But I never thought that after I was released, these people immediately killed us. It is rare that their lives are precious, and the lives of the Shu soldiers are worthless?"

"no!"

"We are obedient and obedient, and the emperor is polite to the people. We will never let the imperial guards rob each other of us. We must have been deceived by the traitors and sent such a tragic edict. The soldiers, what should we do? "

"Clear your side, clear your side!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Tan Zhen trembled all over and pointed at Cao Hua:

"You...you clear your uncle's monarch, you even kill the monarch..."

"Soldiers, set off!"

"Ha ha--"

Amid the roar of the sky, ships flowed downstream and sailed out of the Fu River.

Under the command of the command of the commander, the Shu army on the shore was well-trained to board the troop transport ships transformed from merchant ships.

Tan Zhen's face turned pale, and he got up from the ground and grabbed Cao Hua's sleeve:

"You...How can you do this? You have killed all the giants of the court. Who else do you want to clear? Just say, I'll take someone over to you to clear..."

Cao Hua put down his long sword, turned his head and looked at Tan Zhen: "There must be a reason to go to the capital. You can't let me shout rebellion directly, right?"

"you--"
