Chapter 959 : Four hundred and seventy-fifth the fierce confrontation in Chengdu
Few people would think of using salt to launch an offensive. This requires a certain understanding of people's livelihood.\%_%_小_说_网元_chuang%_%\In addition to the understanding of people's livelihood, you must also have enough ability to use it.
opportunity.
But this time, joining forces to deal with Lu Su is a big opportunity.
This is Zhang Zhao's best strategy in his life. If he wins, it will be recorded in the annals of history. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, there have only been a few wars between various princes.
The heroes Dong, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Cao Cao, the pseudo-emperor Yuan Shu, and this time the princes from all directions, Lu Su. These first two wars were both huge wars, enough to be recorded in the annals of history.[
In this war, more princes joined than Yuan Shu, and they were more important. But the source of everything was Zhang Zhao's plan, which led to the defeat of Lu Su.
Although Zhang Zhao has a deep city and abundant talents, he is not in a state of wantlessness. If he can return an important role and be recorded in the annals of history, Zhang Zhao cannot help but be tempted.
In this case, Zhang Zhao received the first news. After Wenpin and Wang Wei conquered Hanzhong, he could hardly eat and his heart was full of rain.
My temper also got a lot worse.
When he suddenly heard about Wenpin, Wang Wei went to war with Gao Pei, killed Gao Pei, and captured Jiameng Pass. Zhang Zhao's reaction was ecstasy.
There were ups and downs. After experiencing failure, he suddenly became exhausted of opportunities for success. This feeling made Zhang Zhao unable to stop.
Almost even when he went to bed, Zhang Zhao smiled and fell asleep.
"Although I am dozens of years old, I have not enjoyed many happy things, just a few. This time, it is the most enjoyable thing in my life. Lu Su, Lu Su. I want to thank you.
You, your failure has made me successful, hahaha."
Zhang Zhao laughed.
………………
Liu Feng occupied Hanzhong, and Gao Pei launched an offensive brazenly. Liu Feng counterattacked without thinking, defeated Gao Pei in one battle, and advanced to Jiameng Pass.
In the eyes of Zhang Lu, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Cao Ren, Zhang Zhao and others, this matter was tantamount to digging their own graves, thinking that victory was waving to them.
But the result was just as Liu Feng expected. Success or failure was only between 50 and 50.
Gao Pei went to battle, but not only failed to win, but was killed in the first battle, and even the frontline pass, Jiameng Pass, was lost. When the news reached Chengdu, it immediately caused an uproar.
Chengdu City was originally the capital of a state and one of the largest cities in the world. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Yan took over and became a force of his own, followed by Liu Zhang.
After two generations of management, Chengdu City not only has thick walls, but also its prosperity has greatly increased, becoming one of the top cities in the world.
This is true for the city of Chengdu, and it is true for the entire Yizhou.
But Yizhou prospered, its economy improved, and its strength also increased. But in sharp contrast was Liu Zhang's weakness.
Why was Liu Zhang so weak? On the one hand, it was because of his character and ability. He was more tolerant than talented. On the other hand, there were also mistakes in decision-making.[
For example, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was originally a dog raised by Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan at the gate of Yizhou. Zhang Lu cut off the relationship with the Han Dynasty and established his own kingdom.
But Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and turned against Zhang Lu, which caused his power to shrink a lot.
In addition, Yizhou also had various problems, which led to Liu Zhang's weakness.
When Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he relied on the support of local forces in Yizhou. However, after Liu Yan entered Yizhou, tens of thousands of people from the three auxiliary families poured into Yizhou soon after.
Among these tens of thousands of families, some were extremely prominent noble families. These noble families allied with each other to form the Dongzhou Scholars.
With the participation of Dongzhou scholars, Liu Yan immediately turned his back, eradicated many local Yizhou forces, and killed more than ten powerful people in the state, thus consolidating his position.
At the same time, it also led to the intensification of conflicts, which lasted until the Liu Zhang era.
This formed two distinct forces, the Yizhou native force and the Dongzhou scholar force. Among them were conservatives and strong-minded.
There is also the half-hearted faction, the loyal faction, the military commander faction, and the literati faction.
Various factions are at odds with each other, and the complex relationships cannot be clearly understood. Under such circumstances, if you are a capable king, you can certainly make bold announcements to strengthen Yizhou.
But it turned out that Liu Zhang had no outstanding talents, so Yizhou became extremely weak due to various reasons, and was even bullied by Zhang Lu.
Under such circumstances, it was of course very difficult to decide to send troops. In addition, Wenpin and Wang Wei followed Liu Feng's orders and killed Gao Pei neatly.
The overwhelming combat effectiveness displayed, and under such deterrence, many conservatives and half-hearted factions are holding back. It is even more difficult to send troops or not.
