When Taishi Ci heard this, he felt that Liu Zhang had misunderstood what he meant and thought that he wanted to kill Zhang Wen for revenge! So he waved his hands repeatedly and quickly explained to Liu Zhang. "My lord, this is not what the general meant! He treats us like this, but we don't
Give away the fruits of victory! The general is a little unhappy!"
"Does Ziyi think Zhang Wen can successfully suppress the rebellion?"
Liu Zhang's question made Taishi Ci think deeply, and he couldn't make up his mind after thinking for a long time.
"My lord, Zhang Wen has no talent, he is just an incompetent person! If we want him to suppress the rebellion, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky! But Bian Zhang and others have been disabled by us, and there are less than one or two of the 100,000 troops!"
"Zhang Wen is a victorious master. He has a good reputation as a master, and he has Bao Hong's help. I'm afraid Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu won't be able to withstand it."
Liu Zhang glanced at Tai Shi Ci in surprise, but he didn't expect him to be worried about Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu!
"Ziyi, you have really changed."
Seeing Liu Zhang's pleased eyes, Taishi Ci immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant.
"My lord, this world has been in ruins for a long time. It is rotten from the root! So what are the talents of He Jin and Zhang Wen? But they can steal the high position of general and general of chariots and cavalry! If my lord hadn't turned the tide this time, how could the Xiliang army have done it?
Easily destroyed?"
"But what's the result? Zhang Wen can still act arbitrarily, ignoring the justice of the country and only seeking revenge for personal hatred! We can only be secretly angry but helpless! It's strange that no one in such a dark court has raised an army to rebel!"
"I have wanted to say these words Ziyi for a long time!"
Dian Wei also had an angry look on his face, obviously resonated with Tai Shici's words.
"I remember that when I was young, the evil people bullied men, women, and the people, and the government not only ignored them, but also helped them perpetrate the oppression! It's the same now! Ten thousand of my soldiers went to the northwest without any trouble, and rescued Zhang Wenyu as soon as they arrived.
In danger, plan to annihilate 10,000 Xiliang troops."
"But what's the result? Zhang Wen, a pig and a dog, not only has no gratitude, but also resents him! He wants to kill us at every turn! It's really unreasonable!"
"My lord is just too kind. If it were me, I would just kill him with a knife! At worst, we might start a rebellion! Let's see who in the world can defeat him!"
If Taishi Ci and Dian Wei's remarks were heard by others, they would definitely be labeled as rebels! However, Liu Zhang didn't care and just shook his head helplessly.
"When evil comes, I know you hate it, but it's too late now! All we can do is wait! Troubled times will eventually come, but we must not be the first to start it!"
After appeasing Dian Wei, Liu Zhang looked at Tai Shi Ci.
"Ziyi, a waste like Zhang Wen can't make any achievements even if you give him a million-dollar army. Some people are born to be stepping stones, and some people can only be used as backgrounds, and Zhang Wen is one of these two types of people.
Collective!"
Seeing that the conversation in front of them was so lively, Jia Xu and Xunyou also rode forward and joined in the conversation.
"My lord, are you so sure that Zhang Wen can't win? Now Zhang Wen has an army of 70,000!"
When Liu Zhang heard Xun You's words, he knew that the two men were testing him again, but Liu Zhang was confident and did not feel nervous at all.
"Zhang Wen is a man of great ambition and talent but short-sightedness. He doesn't have any good ideas in his mind but insists on rushing forward! It's more than a thousand miles from Meiyang to Yuzhong? Zhang Wen worked hard on the expedition, while Bian Zhang and others waited for work. How could they win?"
"Plus the waste among wastes, Zhou Shen! With these two people combined, not to mention an army of 70,000, even 700,000! They can defeat him!"
Although Jia Xu on the side did not speak, his eyes showed relief.
After Zhang Wen's incident, Jia Xu clearly saw Liu Zhang's growth!
"Let's go! The northwest battlefield is still difficult to solve for a while. When we come back next time, we won't go back so easily!"
Liu Zhang has already predicted that the next time he fights in the northwest, he will be the head coach! Then he can find an excuse to seek the position of Hanzhong Prefect!
Liu Zhang's return journey was uneventful. He even made a detour to Hongnong County, where the pre-Qin Hangu Pass site was located.
The result made Liu Zhang very sad, and the idea of using Hangu Pass to resist the Guandong princes was completely shattered!
After hundreds of years of geographical changes, the Yellow River has seriously changed its course. The natural barrier of the Yellow River that was originally close to the plateau wall no longer exists. As the water level of the Yellow River continues to drop, the river channel that was originally close to the plateau body was exposed and turned into a
river beach.
The emergence of this river beach means that the dangerous terrain of Qinhan Valley Pass no longer exists. If the Kwantung Army comes again, they can just pass through the river bank Shangrao without having to fight the Han Valley Pass.
Hangu Pass was originally built in a crack in a thick mulberry plateau. In the pre-Qin Dynasty, the height of the thick mulberry plateau was very high, surrounded by steep cliffs, and the plateau was covered with virgin forests.
But now, due to excessive cutting all year round, the original forest on the Choosang Plateau has completely become bald! Without the original forest, the Qinhanguguan defense system has become fragile. The army can even climb directly up the mountain!
After Liu Zhang personally walked these two roads, he had a clearer understanding of the terrain. He felt ashamed of his previous naivety!
Liu Zhang thought too simply, thinking that relying on natural dangers would be enough to protect himself and reject the princes of the world. Now the reality has clearly told him.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
How naive!
No wonder Zhuge Liang disagrees with Wei Yan's Ziwu Valley plot. So what if it succeeds? If it's more exaggerated, what if Tongguan is captured?
The Wei army can still bypass Tongguan and enter the Guanzhong Plain, or even enter through Wuguan from Nanyang!
Liu Zhang also fully understood that what must be strengthened was the strength of the battle, and he could no longer have the lucky idea of relying on the natural barrier of Xiongguan!
Passing through Hongnong County, there is a flat official road, and you can go straight to Luoyang.
Even so, it took more than twenty days before Liu Zhang led his troops back to Luoyang.
It was a pity that Liu Zhang was not able to return home and enter the gentle land he had not seen for a long time as expected. He received the order immediately and immediately went to the palace to meet Liu Hong.
Unable to disobey the emperor's will, Liu Zhang could only let Huang Zhong settle the soldiers and go to the palace alone to meet the emperor.
Judging from the orders conveyed by the soldiers, Liu Hong was very urgent and needed to see Liu Zhang immediately!
Although Jia Xu had sworn to Liu Zhang that there would be absolutely no danger in his trip, Liu Zhang was still very uneasy in his heart!
For no other reason than that he returned to Luoyang on his own initiative and without Liu Hong's consent!
Looking at the palace approaching in front of him, Liu Zhang's heart beat even harder and he always felt uneasy.
But it was too late to regret it. There was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, so Liu Zhang had no choice but to bite the bullet!
Anyway, Liu Hong has already betrothed his daughter to him. Even if he is convicted, he will be demoted at most and his life will not be in danger!
