"..... I hope that Mr. puts national affairs first and overall situation as a hope. He is in charge of his country and is willing to serve the country. At this time of great trouble, he can raise troops to Chengdu Prefecture. In order to restore the territory of Sichuan, he will help Chen Mou with his armed forces. In the future, the court will be rewarded. Chen Mou is also willing to recommend Mr. Wang Mou to be the prefect of Mianzhou and be granted his wife and son."

Changsun Hong finished reading the letter in one breath, then raised the letter paper in the wind, and smiled and said to the people sitting in the hall, "Chen Longzhi's commander wants to protect me as the prefect. As long as I am willing to send troops to help him, I can become the fifth-rank magistrate. This kind of favor is quite good. Xuzhou's deputy commander only jumped to level five from a seventh-rank general."

"It's extraordinary and extraordinary things. Chen Longzhi was also panicked and didn't care about the rules and regulations. He threw the big hat around. He would smash the big hat if he helped him." Duan Wu smiled, making a joke.

Everyone laughed. Wang Chao, a general of Shimen Fan, was impatient and shouted: "Chen Longzhi thought so beautifully! He asked the Ghost King to help him fight. He didn't take a penny or pay a piece of rice. He asked us to come up and rush over to write a letter. This bird man thought so well!"

Na Duozhi looked at him in surprise, looking surprised: "Huh? Wang Manzi actually uses his brain? How do you know? Did you ask someone?"

Wang Chao was angry and punched Natuzhi in the chest, saying, "Do you underestimate others? I have entered the academy in Shimenfan like you. At that time, my grades were better than you. The Masters often praised me, but I never praised you!"

"Come on, it seems like anyone doesn't know who." Na Duzhi dodged and said with a smile: "You stood there for two days in the academy and listened to the class. The Masters punished you so boringly. The Masters don't praise me because I was stubborn, but you left the Masters nowhere to praise me."

The barbarians burst into laughter again. This group of people were about the same age. More than ten years ago, when Changsun Hong went to Shimenfan to open academy to recruit barbarians, these people almost went in to study and read together, and knew each other well. They had a good relationship with each other and would not blush when they were joking.

Moreover, Changsun Hong is kind to his own people and has no airs. He often goes off topic at meetings and doesn't get angry even if he goes off the topic. Therefore, the atmosphere of Shimenfan is often warm when attending meetings.

Changsun Hong then knocked on the table, pulled everyone's attention back from the two of them, and said, "Wang Manzi makes sense, is there anyone else who has any other statement?"

Natuzhi raised his hand and pointed to the map hanging high on the wall and said, "Ghost King, Mianzhou is north of Chengdu Prefecture, leaning against Xingyuan Prefecture. In other words, just under the eyes of the Mongols, the Mongols can go to the gate of Mianzhou City for a walk. Chen Longzhi was not kind enough to let the Ghost King go there to be a prefect. He clearly wanted to put us in front of him as a meat pad. The Mongols would be unable to get along with the Ghost King when they went south."

"It's right! And Mianzhou is still in the hands of the Mongolians. Although their large army has retreated to the north of Jiange Lizhou according to Chen Longzhi, it is a question whether there are any Mongol left-behind men in Mianzhou. We are rashly going to it, which is equivalent to thundering Chen Longzhi. No matter how you look at it, it's not worth it." The barbarian general Dong Zhichun also stood up and said. This man was black and thin, and looked not tall, but had amazing power. He could carry the Shimenfan's entry-level Shisuo with one hand and run around the school ground, walking as fast as he could. After that, he still had the strength to practice sword skills. He was considered a very brave general of Shimenfan.

Everyone talked and mentioned each other, and complemented each other. In a short while, Chen Longzhi's intentions were analyzed, which was not far from what Changsun Hong thought.

Duan Wu and Changsun Hong listened to everyone's speech and exchanged a look tacitly with each other, both of which were relieved and happy.

When Shimenfan gathered for trouble and called all the generals to discuss together, it was a habitual move. Doing so would gather the wisdom of everyone to prevent one person from thinking about one's problems; and secondly, it would improve the abilities of the barbarian generals during the discussion, let them think about problems, peel off the deep-seated essence of the surface, and speed up the maturity of these people.

After all, they are all the powers Changsun Hong will rely on in the future.

Changsun Hong also named this kind of conference "Zhuge Liang Association", which made the barbarian generals even more happy. Look, the Ghost King treats us as Zhuge Liang, how glorious.

Everyone is proud to be able to attend the meeting, and everyone is proud to be able to speak insightful words at the meeting.

After everyone was almost done, Duan Wu coughed and stood up and said, "Since everyone is saying it well, please let the Ghost King make the final decision."

Changsun Hong nodded and spoke with a stern expression: "That's right, Chen Longzhi is interested in the combat power of our Shimenfan. He wants us to be a pawn for him, to contribute his efforts, and to bring shouts to lure me with a magistrate's official hat. Without a penny of military pay, he is a pure loss of money."

Wang Chao was filled with righteous indignation and immediately shouted: "Ghost King, we won't go! How could such a thing be like this? The court did not care about it before, and they didn't care about how many people died after being affected by the disaster. They let us die in the mountains. Now they can't beat the Mongolians, and they think of us. Why?"

Everyone agreed and roared like thunder: "That's the ultimate! It's Mr. Changsun's contribution to our Shimenfan today. It has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty court. They are shameless and treat us barbarians as fools!"

Changsun Hong shook his head, pressed his hand in the air, suppressing the anger of everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I often say that looking at things depends on the long term. When something happens, we must not only think of a solution to this matter, but also see what changes and impacts will be there in the future. The Mongolians went south, and it seemed that the war between the Song Dynasty had no connection with us Dali and Shimenfan, but is this really the case?"

"Before the Mongolian attacked the Song Dynasty, it was an ally with the Song Dynasty. Together with the Song Dynasty, they destroyed the Jin Dynasty. Now that the Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, they turn against each other, and they don't even recognize the allies. This shows how ambitious the Mongols are. When they attacked the Xia Kingdom and Jin Kingdom, they must have already begun to attack the Song Dynasty."

"So learn from one example and apply it to others. Who will be the next target for the Mongols? You will know after thinking about it."

"It must be Dali! Our country's small soldiers are weak, but they are in an awkward position. From Dali to the east, you can bypass the natural danger of the Kuimen Yangtze River and reach the south of the Yangtze River. If the Mongols are blocked from attacking Xiangyang, they will inevitably think of ways to detour from Dali. What should we do then?"

"Can we, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Dali stop the Mongols who destroyed the Jin Dynasty?"

Everyone was silent, blinking their eyes one by one, and fell into deep thought. Changsun Hong liked this, pointing out the problems thoroughly and letting them think about them on their own.

"So... Ghost King, we still have to send troops?" After thinking for a long time, Duozhi was the first to speak. His face was angry and angry, obviously very unwilling.

"Of course we have to send troops. When you were in the academy, you heard what the masters said." Changsun Hong said: "If Chen Longzhi can't defend Sichuan, we will be ruined. Although we can beat Gao Yuchenglong and throw away his armor, the Mongolians are completely different from him. Let's put it this way, Gao Yuchenglong's soldiers are not qualified to be strong for the Mongolians."

"But it's not now." His hand patted the table and made a sound to show that the following passage is very important: "We cannot go now, but the reason is not because of Chen Longzhi's scrupulousness. But when we go, we can only die. The Chengdu plain is a vast vast area, and it is the excellent battlefield for the Mongols who are good at riding and shooting. Shimenfan is all infantry, and on that terrain, he can only be slaughtered."
