Shi Kuan's worries are also understandable.

Not only Shi Kuan was worried, but even Li Yan was worried.

Wang Chadian must not be treated with an ordinary person's eyes, so when dealing with Wang Chadian, you must be careful.

Wang Chadian was originally a surname Meng, and was considered a branch of the royal family.

Moreover, Wang Chadian was not only the governor of Nongdong, but also was awarded the title of king by Nanzhao.

then.

Wang Chadian killed the king of Nanzhao and persuaded Long Sheng to support his brother Guan Lisheng as the king of Nanzhao.

But Guan Li died after only a few years of reign, and Sheng Fengyou was supported by Wang Chadian again.

It is not something that everyone can know whether Lisheng died normally or abnormally.

But whether it is Li Yan or Shi Kuan and others, there has always been a guess about Guan Lisheng's death, that is, Wang Chadian may have committed murder after Guan Lisheng disobedient.

Then, he supported Sheng Fengyou.

after all.

The power of Nanzhao Kingdom was in the hands of Wang Chadian. Just like the current emperor of Tang Kingdom, the eunuchs influenced the fate of the emperor and the political trend of the court.

Even the appointment of this official was handled by eunuchs.

On the other hand, the situation in Nanzhao Kingdom is similar to that in Tang Kingdom, but it was replaced by Wang Chadian, who was the king of the king.

now.

When Li Yan and the others received news that Wang Chadian wanted to bring his troops back to the rescue, Shi Kuan was a little confused about what to do next.

Li Yan turned his head and looked into the direction of Nanzhao, "I will not prepare for him. Moreover, Nanzhao now does not have many regular soldiers. If Wang Chadian wants to counterattack, he will inevitably recruit soldiers from all over Nanzhao. At present, no one can recruit soldiers from Nanzhao. All the damn soldiers are dead, and those who are not dead are old. Besides, we are not vegetarians."

"Your Highness, you must have a precautionary plan. Otherwise, if Wang Chudian really wants to return to help, it will be troublesome. After all, Wang Chudian has 40,000 strongest army in Nanzhao Kingdom. If I come back from counterattack, we will probably not be able to deal with the 20,000 troops." Shi Kuan saw that Li Yan was not too worried, but Shi Kuan knew that everyone who could use Xichuan was here.

Nearly 20,000 soldiers were all in Huochuan, and they were all in the north of Lushui.

In response to the counterattack of 45,000 soldiers in Nanzhao, although the soldiers fought brilliantly, more than 700 people died in battle.

If he encounters the Nanzhao Ace Army led by Wang Chadian, no one knows how many people will die.

Li Yan turned around and waved his hand, "Let's go back to Huichuan first. Even if Wang Chudian wants to return to help, it will not happen in a day or two. If he doesn't want to come out of the Piao Kingdom for seven or eight days."

Li Yan's condition seemed to be very sure of Shi Kuan.

But Shi Kuan was worried.

But after Li Yan spoke, he could only recruit all the guards and start returning to Huichuan City.

I have been in the north of Lushui for almost half a month. After half a month, people have become moldy. It is time to go back to Huichuan City to rest.

Shi Kuan knows it.

From the time he drove to the north of Lushui, Li Yan never looked at it.

Every day, he either stares at various news or checks maps that he can't even understand, and then issues various commands.

When the war ended, Li Yan heard that he had lost more than 700 soldiers and could not sleep all night, looking at the direction of Nanzhao from morning to night.

If you haven't had a good rest for a long time, it's time to rest.

After two hours of rushing, Li Yan fell asleep as soon as he returned to the government courtyard.

It seemed that Wang Chadian had returned to help, but he seemed to have just thrown aside.

Shi Kuan also knew that Li Yan was too tired recently and dared not disturb him.

"Don't wake up your highness for a while. Your Highness has never closed his eyes these days. Let your Highness have a good rest. Let everyone be quiet, don't make any noise." Shi Kuan explained to the guards and left the inner courtyard.

at this time.

When Li Yan and the others returned to Huichuan, the incident had long been heard by Zuo Yan of the county government.

Now, after hearing that Li Yan returned to Huichuan, Zuo Yan ran to the government office.

When Zuo Yan's leg had not yet stepped into the gate of the government office, he was intercepted by Shi Kuan. "Prince Zuo, I guess you will definitely come here as soon as I guess. However, Your Highness is resting, don't bother him now. If there is anything, what will I say tomorrow?"

"Well? Your Highness is injured?" Zuo Yan was not clear and looked towards the inner courtyard.

Shi Kuan pulled Zuo Yan aside, "Your Highness has rarely been closed during this period. He is mentally and physically exhausted, and he falls asleep as soon as he comes back. So, Zuo Gong Gong, you can't disturb Your Highness now."

"So that's it. Your Highness is so. You don't cherish your body well. Fortunately, your Highness is young. Unlike me, I'm old. If I'm tired for a few days, I'll probably have to lose half my life." Zuo Yan understood after hearing Shi Kuan's words.

Zuo Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty Zuo, you are not old. If you are old, then no one will sit in the position of this Majesty."

"You, why are you just like Your Highness making fun of me? Oh, by the way, there is one thing I have to tell you. I heard that the military camp in the north of the city seems a bit messy recently. Why don't you go and have a look? Or do you go and have a look at Lieutenant Colonel Guo?" Zuo Yan joked with him, smiled awkwardly and began to talk about the main things.

After hearing the incident, Shi Kuan nodded gently, "Lieutenant Colonel Guo is still on the side of Lushui. I'll go and see it myself later. There won't be any accident recently, especially in Huichuan."

"What happened? Isn't this just won the battle? Is Your Highness a new move?" Zuo Yan didn't know much.

A chief officer who helped Li Yan in charge of government affairs could not ask about the intelligence matter.

Moreover, Li Yan is concerned about the military avenue, while Zuo Yan is government affairs.

Both sides are not in harmony, and although Li Yan's military intelligence is shared, it has not been shared to this point.

Shi Kuan pointed to the direction of Nanzhao, "Information says that after Wang Chudian heard about the war here, he wanted to return to help from the Piao Kingdom, so you should know what this news represents."

"So that's it. Don't worry, Huichuan City, the other two counties and several towns, I will definitely help Your Highness guard it. However, I think we don't need to take him Wang Chow Dian too seriously. After all, Nanzhao Kingdom has been beaten to a large number of troops by you. Could it be that Wang Chow Dian can still be resurrected by him?" Zuo Yan underestimated Wang Chow Dian very much.

So, it is.

After Li Yan and his soldiers came out of Chengdu Prefecture, they fought all the way, but they never suffered any defeat.

Even the losses were so low that Zuo Yan sometimes wondered if his eyes were wrong.

But that's actually the case.

Therefore, Zuo Yan has been very impressed by Li Yan until now.

Even when Shi Kuan mentioned Wang Chadian, the Qingping official of Nanzhao Kingdom, he did not take it seriously.

Shi Kuan laughed a few times, and did not explain much, "Okay, I won't talk about this anymore. I'll go to the north of the city first. Zuo Prefecture, remember, don't bother Your Highness. Your Highness is too tired. Let Your Highness have a good sleep and talk about it tomorrow if you have something to do."

After talking, Zuo Yan called his personal guard and rode his horse to the north of the city.

Zuo Yan touched the beard on his chin, looked at the backs of Shi Kuan's dozens of personal guards leaving, shook his head, and said to himself: "Wang Chadian is that scary. However, Wang Chadian must not let him go. At least, he must avenge the people of Xichuan, otherwise, the dead people will not forgive us."

The next day at noon.

Li Yan slept for seven hours before he woke up.

Li Yan is too tired and sleepy.

According to Li Yan's schedule, he wouldn't sleep for so long, but this time, when dealing with the counterattack of 45,000 Nanzhao soldiers, Li Yan had to cheer up.

As soon as Li Yan woke up, after eating some food, he shouted in a hurry.

"Your Highness, the guards went to the north of the city yesterday and have not come back yet. Your Highness, do you need me to come back to him?" the guard responded.

Li Yan was puzzled, "Why did Shi Kuan go to the north of the city? Is something wrong in the border military camp again?"

"The Zuo Prefecture came yesterday, and it seemed that there was a chaotic place in the border military camp, so Shi took fifty brothers to check it out. Last night, he sent back the news that Shi Shi would stay there for one night. The details are not clear," the guard replied.

Li Yan nodded and stopped asking questions.

As for the border military camp, Li Yan didn't go over and take a look. Anyway, he was sometimes lenient and everything was safe.

afternoon.

When Li Yan was talking to Zuo Yan, Shi Kuan came back with all his personal guards.

As soon as Shi Kuan came back, he moved to Li Yan's side, "Your Highness, some of the generals in the border military camp have caused trouble. I killed a few yesterday."

"If you kill, you will kill. At a critical moment, whoever dares to cause trouble will kill you." Li Yan said with a smile after hearing this.

Li Yan had long been unhappy about those border generals.

Last time Li Yan killed so many people, but these people were not honest, which made Li Yan very clear that there were still many people among these people who were having fantasies.

They fantasized that someone from above came to save them, and they fantasized that their upward peak ran to Xichuan, and they beat Li Yan, the governor, and then changed to their governor.

At that time, they can still do nothing, and they can even take over Li Yan to capture Huichuan Mansion, and then enjoy the success and enjoy what they call blessings.

It's reached this point.

Even if the court really wanted to withdraw Li Yan's Xichuan Jiedushi, Li Yan no longer cared about the court's orders.

It is said that Li Yan already has a certain amount of capital to speak.

With nearly 20,000 troops, even if Wang Shoucheng brought the Shen Ce army to attack him in Xichuan, he, Li Yan, didn't have to be afraid.

Besides.

Li Yan was not unimaginable. If the court wanted to seize the position of Jiedushi, it must not be the intention of his second brother emperor. It must be those officials and eunuchs who wanted to seize the position of Jiedushi of Li Yan.

Every once in a while, I would send back secret letters to Chang'an. The situation in Chang'an is also often sent back.

Even if Li Yan doesn't care about the government affairs, he still has to know that the general situation is not.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't say much, Shi Kuan took a few steps back, stood behind Li Yan, and continued to perform his duties as a guard repeatedly.
