The Emperor of Shu, Wang Jian, was on the verge of the emperor, on the surface, on the same level as Zhu Wen and Li Tianqu, and was also the monarch who dominated the country. However, in Yang Shihou's opinion, he was still one level worse than the heroes such as Li Tianqu, Zhu Wen, and Li Keyong.

However, in this situation, it is not the time to be picky.

Zhu Wen was desperate to fight Li Tianqu to the death. This was originally a big gamble. Yang Shihou also knew that Liang's chances of winning were smaller than that of Wei. Taking one step and three steps, when he was following Zhu Wen's order, he was already thinking about it secretly:

If Zhu Wen will eventually be defeated and retreated, Li Tianqu will inevitably block the enemy's way back to the hinterland of his country, and intends to trap us to death... If he really ends up in such a situation, what if he is at that time?

Even if Zhu Wen had a great kindness to him who was knowledgeable and valued, Yang Shihou asked himself that he had served the Liang Kingdom until now, and he had fulfilled his kindness. Li Tianqu and Li Keyong must take advantage of the situation to advance to the Guanzhong region. The Liang Dynasty's national strength declined and there was a danger of destruction... Now he is even more murderous intent, and he is as dangerous as a burden. After careful consideration, Yang Shihou figured out a way out to protect himself, but he was also destined to escape from Liang Kingdom, so that he could hope to escape.

After all, although he was loyal to Zhu Wen before, if he wanted to save his life for him, Yang Shihou would still refuse.

Leading his troops to surrender to the State of Wei? Yang Shihou knew that he had offended Li Tianqu, and Wei might not be able to tolerate him. So who would appreciate his ability to command military forces and use troops? He would still be able to give him high officials and generous salaries, so that Yang Shihou could make his life? After thinking about it, he had to go to the Emperor Jian of Shu.

After all, he had previously led troops to the Dengzhou and Caizhou areas of Wei. If the situation changed, it would be like breaking into the northwest of Liang. However, if he moved to the southwest, it was not far from Shu, which controlled Kuizhou and other Badong areas. Wang Jian was very proud of himself and would not obey Li Tianquyan. If he had a famous general in another country to lead the elite troops of his direct descendants to join him, and to increase the military strength of his Shu Kingdom, how could he not accept it?

Moreover, the two Sichuans, Bashu controlled by Shu Kingdom have a unique geographical location and are very suitable for separating the country from outside the Central Plains. Since then, they have escaped from the mutual wars and killings of the three major powers of Wei, Jin and Liang. If they can be reused by the emperor of Shu, it will be easier to fulfill my long-cherished wish of controlling the country... What's more, with this thought now, there is only this way to go...

Yang Shihou thought to himself that although he did not say a word, he drove his horse to urge his Ya army to march southwest, and his every move showed a majestic demeanor. Even though his hometown was hard to leave, with his prestige in the army of Zhenguo, no one of the Ya army soldiers wanted to be surrounded and attacked by the Wei army, and ended up dead in another place. He had to obey Yang Shihou's orders and embark on the road to transfer to Shu.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Yang Shihou led the Liang army, who was in charge, to flee southwest. Are you planning to defect to the Shu King Jian?"

The ceremonial guard camp of the Emperor of Wei has been deployed to the Yangdi area of ​​Xuzhou. Li Tianqu received the document submitted by Fu Cunshen. After reading it, he couldn't help but snorted heavily.

However, Yang Shihou is a top general of this era. It is indeed not that easy to get rid of his life...

Li Tianqu frowned and thought in his heart that although Fu Cunshen, Wang Yanzhang and other confidant generals successfully annihilated Zhang Cunjing and Wang Tan invaded the enemy troops deep in his territory. However, Yang Shihou also took the opportunity to gain the precious time to move southwest and get rid of the encirclement and blockade... The permanent troops stationed in local prefectures along the way could almost never delay the elite army led by Yang Shihou.

Now even if the elite cavalry are dispatched to chase him quickly, set up an ambush and resist with Yang Shihou's ability, and fight and retreat, it seems that it is difficult to completely annihilate the army he commanded before he arrives at the borders of Wei and Shu.

However, after Li Tianqu thought for a while, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. Yang Shihou realized that it was extremely difficult to retreat to Liang State, and he wanted to leave Zhu Wen and turn to Wang Jian, which was originally an urgent matter. However, after joining Shu State, Yang Shihou would inevitably be heavily used by Wang Jian and would still become the backbone of the Wei army in the future? I am afraid that this is not the case.

After all, Wang Jian is often suspicious, and his suspiciousness is even worse than Zhu Wen. The more than 100 adopted sons he received were uneven, and he was greedy and cruel, and had mediocre abilities. However, a few who have real talents are often more likely to be suspicious of Wang Jian. Just like Li Tianqu had heard of the news from Shu Kingdom before:

Wang Zongdi, who was originally named the Dongchuan Jiedushi, was already prestigious in governing the army and managing the people, but this aroused Wang Jian's suspicion. Other adopted sons slandered him, so Wang Jian took Wang Zongdi to Chengdu, but he only got his son who had outstanding military achievements and was deeply loved by the people for the reason of "there is a possibility of rebellion" and hanged him to kill him... Then Yang Shihou turned against Zhu Wen and went to join him, and Wang Jian was very likely to be particularly wary of him.

Li Tianqu still remembers that if he had followed the historical record, Liu Zhijun, a famous general who was also brave and good at fighting, would eventually defect to Shu Kingdom, and was highly valued by Wang Jian at first. However, on the surface, Wang Jian's suspicion of being afraid of Liu Zhijun's bravery was increasing day by day. When he was dying, he used the reason that "I gradually decline and always think about my fate. Liu Zhijun is not something you can do, so it is better to do it earlier."

Yang Shihou's ability to manage military forces is only higher than that of Liu Zhijun. According to Li Tianqu's prediction, Wang Jian was particularly kind at first and was very proud of Yang Shihou's high position and high salary, but his suspicion about him would be even more serious.

However, Yang Shihou is not only smarter than Liu Zhijun, who is rebellious. The higher his status, the more domineering his behavior will be. According to historical records, after Zhu Yougui killed his father and usurped the throne, he was deeply afraid of Yang Shihou, who was powerful and powerful in the vassal states, so he ordered him to go to the capital to give up his military power. However, Yang Shihou led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the capital, and showed his power under the city, which shocked Zhu Yougui did not dare to act rashly, so he had to send Yang Shihou back with kind words...

If you are in charge of a large town, you will be proud of your achievements and rely on your masses and have the intention of being ill-telled. If you are arrogant and swaying, Yang Shihou, who is vaguely fighting against the regime he serves. If you are suspicious and easy to kill, as long as I suspect you have the intention to rebel, regardless of whether it is true or not, Wang Jian, who is in a place to kill many heroes under his command, get together...what will cause trouble in the future?

According to Li Tianqu's thought, Wang Jian would first respect Yang Shihou, but with time, as his status grew, Yang Shihou would become more domineering. And he became more domineering, Wang Jian's intention to kill him was destined to become more and more serious... Yang Shihou would never let the monarch he served as the one who really made a fuss. So if they really had a big fuss, they would completely break up with each other, looking at the generals of Shu Kingdom, who is Yang Shihou's opponent?

In the future, there is a high probability that serious civil strife will break out in Shu. Yang Shihou will be enemies of the entire country by the army he controls, and it is very likely that both sides will suffer a defeat. Li Tianqu thought that Wang Jian can rely on the natural danger of Shu to take control of his own side, but if Yang Shihou does not unexpectedly trigger turmoil in Shu, then can his own forces sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and can he gain the opportunity to take the opportunity to enter Shu?

After thinking for a long time, Li Tianqu sighed and said:

"Forget it, although we have not been able to abandon Yang Shihou this time, he will be defeated by Liang and surrender to Shu. In the future, when our dynasty wants to advance to annex Liang State, there will be fewer strong enemies... and Wang Jian and Yang Shihou... Let's see how many years you two can be the monarch and minister..."
