"Those who have been sent to their place by drifting will not dare not to obey." [Synopsis]
The west of the city is where the local powerful people of Nanzheng County and some powerful people of Hanzhong County live, such as the Zhao family of Nanzheng, the Li family of Chenggu, the Zhang family, the Chen family, etc.
Li Fu is from Chenggu, Hanzhong. The Chenggu Li family once produced Sikong Li He during the reign of Emperor Xiao'an, and Li Gu, the Taiwei during the reign of Emperor Xiaochong. It can be said that he is one of the most powerful families in Hanzhong County. As a member of the Li clan, he is more powerful than any other.
Everyone's words carry weight: "Yesterday, news came from Yangping that the imperial court sent Captain Si Li to lead an army of 80,000 to attack Hanzhong. The situation is critical. We are all standing in a dilapidated house. If we didn't make plans early, why don't we?
Died together with Zhang Lu and other thieves?"
At this time, Pei Mao and others had sent Di people to attack the city for several days, causing quite a stir. The people in Hanzhong were almost frightened three times a day, and they were all afraid that the imperial court would do something to them who had succumbed to the rice thieves.
The Taoist people settled accounts. At this time, some people had begun to pay other attention, such as Li Fu, who directly called Zhang Lu a "thief" to express his position.
"In the past few days, I have persuaded Zhang Gongqi to mobilize the defenders of the Golden Guard. Now there are only four to five thousand people in the Golden Guard, and most of the weapons, food and grass have been transferred away. But..." Li Fuchi asked: "The imperial court is really as good as you.
As you said, divide your troops and march along the Ziwu Road?"
He was asking about Li Xiu, a native of Nanyang. In order to escape the war in Sangzi, he went west along the Han River and settled in Yizhou. This man was quite wise, knew the battle formations, and cooperated with Yan Pu who was good at internal affairs. Zhang
Lu's right hand man.
Li Xiu smiled and said: "I just guessed that Ziwu Valley is the closest to Chang'an, and the road is not bad. In comparison, the imperial court will never give up the shortcut and seek the long road. Even if it wants to use a false road to attack Guo,
Even if you plan to use a surprise attack, you won't have to put all your troops on one road."
"Then you were so sure when you first said it!" Li Fu was surprised.
"This is just a guess on my part. There are many resourceful people in the imperial court, and perhaps there are other good strategies that I don't know yet." Li Xiu spread his hands and said innocently: "In short, no matter whether the imperial court has a strategy to divide the troops and go to Ziwu Valley,
For the sake of our own fortune, we must first be prepared for any eventuality."
Li Fugang calmed down, and after hearing what the other party said, he said worriedly: "In this case, tens of thousands of people will gather at Yangping Pass. If the imperial court cannot take it for a while, wouldn't we really become rice thieves?"
Help?"
Zhang Lu abolished the imperial bureaucracy in Hanzhong, promoted ghost ways, and forced the common people to follow the Five Dou Rice Way. Local powerful people like Li Fu were reluctant to do so. In addition, Zhang Lu had previously encouraged Zhang Xiu to kill the former prefect Su Gu and local powerful people.
Zhao Song, Chen Tiao and others. The powerful men in Hanzhong were so angry that they dared not speak out against Zhang Lu and even Wu Dou Mi Dao. They had been resentful for a long time. Now that they had the opportunity, they had to find ways to plot against him.
But Li Xiu still looked disapproving and said: "Don't look at the large number of soldiers and horses at Yangping Pass. Sometimes, having too many soldiers is actually not a good thing."
Li Fu was a little dumbfounded. He didn't know how to fight, so he had to ask softly: "Zi Lang, please make it clear!"
"Colonel Yang Bai, this person is particularly jealous. He has no ability to fight and lead troops, but he looks down on people who are more powerful than him. As early as the Golden Guards, he often had trouble with Yang Ang, causing trouble from time to time, which made Zhang Gongqi
He had a headache. He thought the two people were at odds with each other, but he didn't know that Yang Bai treated everyone like this." Zhang Lu once wanted Li Xiu to be his military commander, and many military arrangements required him to ask for his opinion, but he didn't.
Avoid him.
Therefore, Li Xiu knew the temperaments and abilities of Zhang Lu's generals very well. At this time, he analyzed them one by one for Li Fu: "Zhang Wei is the younger brother of Zhang Gongqi. He often claims that he is the second person in Han Dynasty after his brother. He has a very high spirit.
His magnanimity is no less generous than that of Yang Bai. As for Yang Ren, he is quite experienced in leading troops, but he is very confused as a person and often offends people without realizing it. If the three of them live in Yangping, if they can still have nothing to do with each other, then that will be the case.
It’s a weird story.”
Li Fu was finally convinced, and he sincerely expressed his admiration for Li Xiu: "It's a pity that Zilang is in Bashu, and the place is quiet. There have been few troubles this year, so there is no way for Zilang to show his talents.
If you join the Central Plains and meet the Ming Lord, you will definitely be able to achieve great achievements."
"Now is the time to build your achievements." Li Xiu didn't take it seriously. When he escaped from the war, he had the idea of being alone. At this time, he smiled indifferently and said calmly: "If the imperial army enters Hanzhong, you and I will talk about it."
Move the tycoons from Mianyang, Chenggu and other places, and try your best to show your loyalty to the imperial court."
"Good, good!" Li Fu was very happy and said with his hands: "Once Zhang Lu is defeated, not only will our people in Hanzhong return to the rule of the imperial court and be taught by saints, but even the great enemy of the former prefect Su Fujun will be defeated.
With retribution, Chen Yuanhua and Zhao Bogao can rest in peace if there are spirits under the spring."
Chen Yuan's pseudonym was Chen Diao, and he worked under Su Gu, the former prefect of Hanzhong. Hearing that Su Gu was killed by Zhang Xiu, he personally led more than a hundred guests to attack Zhang Xiu's camp and died in the battle. Zhao Bogao was conquered by Su Gu.
The chief clerk was named Zhao Song. In order to rescue Su Gu who was trapped at that time, he entered Zhang Xiu's camp with his staff and sword and died heroically.
Nowadays, the families of these people are full of old, weak, women and children, but their righteousness is famous in Hanzhong, and Li Fu and other powerful men take good care of them.
Li Xiu also had a deep understanding of these, w. He suddenly said: "If we can have Yan Gongcao to help us at this time, we can really do half the work and get twice the result."
These words made Li Fu hesitate for a moment: "Yan Pu? Although he is a scholar, he is a subordinate recruited by Zhang Lu. The 'righteousness of monarch and minister' is still there, how can he conspire with us?"
"It is precisely because of this righteousness between king and minister that when Zhang Gongqi is in danger, won't he still speak out to save him?" Li Xiu said leisurely: "I think he has been at odds with Luo Yao for a long time, and Luo Yao
He had been thinking of persuading Zhang Gongqi to attack Yizhou, but he always wanted Zhang Gongqi to "go to Emperor Kuang and then to Dou Rong". You see, when I first heard that the imperial court was sending troops to Chencang a few days ago, everyone was discussing military plans, but he didn't say a word.
If you say it, it will not be difficult to know what he is thinking."
Li Fu thought of the day when Luo Yao objected to Yang Ang's entire army being transferred to Yangping. After the other party's surprised look, he looked at Yan Pu with an uncomfortable look. It seemed as if something was passing through his mind quickly.
He quickly asked: "Are you hiding something from me?"
"It's nothing, he just said a few words to me." Li Xiu said very honestly. The city of Yanpu was much deeper than him. In fact, he was a little unclear about the other party's attitude and the reason why he looked at him that day.
, mainly because of that sentence: "He said that even Dou Rong had to see the truth with his own eyes when he submitted to Emperor Guangwu."
"Then you have to wait for me." Li Fu felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xiu still said with some uncertainty: "This person values the 'righteousness between king and minister' the most. Even if Zhang Lu practiced ghost ways, he would still assist us. If he really wanted to help us, I don't know how he would help us. Besides,
Now, don’t think too well, the key still depends on the court and whether the Sili Colonel Pei Mao leading the army and the 80,000-strong army can capture Yangping."
