The second-class inn is next to the headquarters of the Wanshan Chamber of Commerce in Shouchun. It is a three-story inn.

The inn is clean and tidy, with waiters who specialize in serving guests.

Merchants and envoys from all over the country who interact with the Wanshan Chamber of Commerce will be arranged to this inn.

For example, most of the messengers like Yang Xiu who came from afar were treated like this.

But looking at Guo Tu's route, it is obvious that he is not trying to lead Yang Xiu there.

The third-class inn is a bit pitiful.

Every year, Yuan Shu trained a large number of servants for his ministers.

After these servants were trained, they were placed in several two-story buildings behind Wanshan Restaurant on the Commercial Street.

These buildings are only separated from the brothel and brothel next door by a wall.

Not to mention the conditions in the third-class inn, if you live in a room against the wall, you will hear all kinds of strange sounds at night.

That feeling was really sour.

Sure enough, Yang Xiu smelled a moldy smell when he entered the inn.

He asked Guo Tu with some dissatisfaction:

"Is this the inn where the Lord Shenwei entertains the angels?"

Guo Tu nodded for granted:

"Yes, our marquis advocates frugality and opposes extravagance and waste.

In external entertainment, we have always focused on simplicity."

Yang Xiu was a little surprised. Was Yuan Shu not the number one prodigal son in Luoyang back then? Why did he treat guests so shabby?

He vaguely felt that he might have been fooled by Guo Tu, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

"Well, where do I live?"

Guo Tu pointed to the room near the wall in the deepest part of the corridor and said:

“That’s your room.

You can stay here these days. There are unified arrangements for dining inns and will not cost you money.

My Lord will naturally summon you in a few days.”

Yang Xiu didn't say much about the situation in front of him, but just bowed to Guo Tu:

"Thank you, brother, I don't know my name?"

Guo Tu learned from Yang Xiu’s previous tone and said arrogantly:

"I am the legitimate son of the Guo family in Yingchuan, Guo Tu and Guo Gongze!"

Yang Xiu said politely:

"So it's Brother Guo, I have long admired Daming."

Yang Xiu thought to himself that Guo Tu is right, grandson, I remember you.

When our Lord defeats Yuan Shu, I will see how I deal with you then!

He frowned and walked in, and the more he walked, the worse his mood became.

When did he suffer such grievances from his legitimate son of the Hongnong Yang family and the son of the Grand Marshal Yang Biao?

It’s just a broken inn, so it’s better not to live there!

Yang Xiu made up his mind and when Guo Tu left, he would go to Wanshan Restaurant to open a room.

After all, I was working for the Grand Sima and could not live in such a humble room.

I don’t know if Guo Tu has telepathy for Yang Xiu. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and told Yang Xiu:

“By the way!

We have our own rules for receiving messengers.

Lord Yang wanted to ask to see the Marquis, so he had to live in this inn.

If I leave the inn, I can't guarantee whether you can see my master."

Yang Xiu responded to Guo Tu:

"I understand, thank you for your reminder..."

Yang Xiu's arrival was just a trivial matter for Yuan Shu, and he continued to talk to his advisers about taking over Xichuan.

Liu Bowen, who is Yuan Shu's mentor, spoke:

"Thanks to the lord's courage and strategy, we did not use too much force before, whether we were trying to seize Jingxiang or pacify Jiangnan.

In recent years, the people and soldiers have been recuperating well and are able to support our army in capturing Xichuan.

The old minister suggested that after this autumn harvest, troops would enter Xichuan and take down this country of Tianfu!"

Xichuan has extraordinary strategic significance for Yuan Shu.

If he could occupy Xichuan, he would not only allow Yuan Shu to expand his strategic depth, but also allow him to send troops to Hanzhong at any time and penetrate directly into Yongliang's hinterland.

Moreover, if Yuan Shu could occupy half of Xichuan's territory, even if he was promoted to the throne, the princes in the world would be able to do anything.

Then there is no need to look at the court's expression.

Liu Bowen's proposal was supported by many advisers present.

Yuan Shu also received a system task prompt:

"Ding! The system detected that seizing Xichuan is an important strategic goal for the host in the future.

The main task begins to be updated!

Mission name: Capture Xichuan and become king!

Task objective 1: Xichuan is crucial to the host and is related to the host's fortune.

Please lead your troops to capture Xichuan yourself, and incorporate Xichuan into your rule, and become a peerless overlord with half of the country!

Mission goal 2: As the overlord of troubled times, the host should dominate the world and look down on the heroes.

How can a mere marquis deserve the status of the host?

Please carry the host to become king after seizing Xichuan and demonstrate your due status!

Mission time limit: within three years.

Task completion reward: attribute value and reputation value reward, the reward amount depends on the host task completion degree.

Punishment for mission failure: deduct 30 points of host luck and 7 million points of reputation.”

The system has released the main task, which shows that Nishikawa himself has to take it.

Yuan Shu decided:

"My mentor's words are reasonable, and taking Xichuan is indeed of great significance to our army.

The entire army was sent to prepare for the capture of Xichuan now.

After the autumn harvest, this marquis will lead his army to the expedition!”

At this time, Zhuge Liang, who had just joined Yuan Shu Group, shook his feather fan and said:

"Xichuan should indeed take it, but you should not act too rush.

There are two important issues that need to be solved urgently, otherwise it may be inappropriate to advance rashly."

Yuan Shu humbly asked Zhuge Liang for advice:

"I wonder what the important issues Kong Ming mentioned are?"

Zhuge Liang walked to the center of the hall, bowed to Yuan Shu, and talked:

"One of the things that are difficult to move on the Shu road. Although our army is strong, it is far above Liu Yan, Western Shu.

But if you want to attack, you must be familiar with geography.

The second are the princes such as Liu Bei in Chang'an, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao in Hebei.

These princes are not ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to sit idly by and watch the lord take Xichuan easily.

Once our army attacks Shu, these princes will definitely raise troops to invade."

Yuan Shu thought about it carefully and felt that the two questions raised by Zhuge Liang were indeed very important.

He asked his advisers:

"What Mr. Kong Ming said is indeed a hidden danger to our army. I don't know how to solve it?"

Jia Xu, who had always been under Yuan Shu, stroked his beard with a weak sense of presence and said:

"Although the princes such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao are strong, they also have their own weaknesses.

If the lord is trustworthy than his ministers, he will hand over the task of dealing with these princes to Xu.

I guarantee that when the lord conquers Xichuan, all the princes in the world will have no time to take care of the lord."

Yuan Shu still trusts Jia Xu's ability very much.

Although Jia Xu didn't take many attacks, he was well aware of human nature and could always point directly to the enemy's key points.

"I feel at ease if you have Wenhe to plan for me.

I don’t know which generals Wenhe needs to cooperate, so this marquis must ask them to support them with all their strength!”

A trace of sperm flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"There is no need to use one lord, one soldier.
Chapter completed!
