Zhang Wei sighed heavily, which happened to reveal his difficulty!
"To be honest, Mianzhu is in chaos now! Dong Fu and others who followed Liu Yan had to obey the imperial decree and welcome Liu Zhang to succeed him. The local Yizhou family was worried that Liu Zhang was too strong and difficult to control, so they and my eldest brother
Temporarily unite."
"My eldest brother Zhang Lu originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and get rid of Liu Hao and become the lord of Yizhou! But the Yizhou clan refused to let him go. The Liu family's children must inherit the position of Zhou Mu, so now we are stuck there!"
The amount of information today was so huge that Lei Tie would not be able to digest it for a while, but he still forced himself to continue to inquire about the information.
"General Zhang, with Governor Zhang's talents, he is more than enough to be the lord of Yizhou. Who is causing interference?"
"What General Lei said is absolutely true!"
Lei Tie's words resonated with Zhang Wei. From the beginning, he felt that this position belonged to Zhang Lu!
"Zhao Wei from Brazil, Jia Long from Shu County, and Ren Qi from Jianwei!"
Zhang Wei said the names of these people angrily and wanted to tear these three people to pieces!
"They are all important figures with military power! Jia Long and Ren Qi even killed Ma Xiang!"
No wonder Zhang Lu has no time to take care of Liu Zhang's affairs now and has left everything to his younger brother, who is busy fighting for power in Mianzhu!
"General Zhang, Zitong only has 5,000 soldiers and horses now. Can they withstand Liu Zhang's attack?"
Lei Tie is still testing Zhang Wei's bottom line, he wants to see what Zhang Lu has not done yet!
"I don't know, but I have already reported the situation here to my elder brother. Regardless of whether there are reinforcements or not, my elder brother will probably reply to me."
Zhang Wei was also very helpless. It was really frustrating to lose the 10,000 troops before!
The Zhang and Lu brothers relied on their mother as Liu Yan's concubine to gain power. The 10,000 troops at Jiameng Pass were obtained from Liu Yan through their mother's great efforts!
Liu Yan was a foreigner and had only stayed in Yizhou for a few years. It was good to have an army of 10,000! I guess Zhang Lu never imagined that Zhang Wei would ruin all the 10,000 soldiers and horses he finally obtained!
Because he knew Zhang Lu's situation very well, Zhang Wei did not shamelessly urge Zhang Lu to send troops for rescue, but just told Zhang Lu the situation here.
In fact, Zhang Wei also knew that Zhang Lu did not have many soldiers and horses. At most, they were the soldiers guarding Mianzhu and the county soldiers from various parts of Guanghan County.
"General Zhang, don't worry too much. Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses are powerful, but can he fly to the city? As long as we rely on the fortified city to hold on, we will definitely be able to repel Liu Zhang!"
"Hey! I hope so!"
A few days ago, Zhang Wei would definitely have had this confidence, but in just over ten days, both Baishui and Jiameng were lost, and the 10,000-strong army was all laid to rest. Zhang Wei really couldn't see any future!
"General Zhang!"
Lei Tie suddenly roared, frightening Zhang Wei who was in a daze.
"Do...what?"
"General Zhang, you have to cheer up! Liu Zhang came here exhausted, just transporting food will kill him!"
Zhang Wei was moved when he saw Lei Tie's sincere eyes, and felt even more guilty for leaving him in Jiameng Pass!
"General Lei, as long as my brother settles everything, he will definitely promote the general!"
Lei Tie was immediately overjoyed and quickly thanked Zhang Wei.
"Thank you, General Zhang, for your cultivation! Lei Tie is grateful!"
"You're welcome, General Lei, get up quickly!"
At this time, the door was opened and a soldier broke in. Zhang Wei was immediately furious.
"Bastard, who gave you the courage!"
The soldier quickly knelt down and apologized to Zhang Wei, while explaining the reason.
"General, urgent report from Mianzhu!"
After hearing the news about Mianzhu, Zhang Wei no longer bothered to scold the soldiers.
"Will!"
The soldier raised his head, looked at Lei Tie standing next to Zhang Wei, and then lowered his head.
Lei Tie knew that the soldier wanted to tell a secret, so he quickly resigned.
"General Zhang, I will retire first."
"No need!"
Zhang Wei grabbed Lei Tie's arm, then turned to order the soldiers.
"General Lei is one of our own, it doesn't matter what you say!"
After receiving Zhang Wei's instructions, the soldiers naturally had no worries.
"Reporting to General Zhang, Governor Zhang said that there are no soldiers and horses to reinforce. Let the general make his own decision based on the situation. If it is not possible, he can retreat to Fujian County. Five thousand county soldiers have been arranged in Fujian County."
"I know, let's go down."
Zhang Wei waved his hand and drove away the soldiers anxiously. He had already guessed the result. It seemed that no one would come to save Zitong!
"General Lei, should we just abandon the city and leave? If we take the current five thousand people and garrison in Fujian County, then these more than ten thousand troops will be able to stop Liu Zhang depending on the difficult terrain!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Tie quickly shook his head to express his refusal.
"General Zhang, how can you give up Zitong so easily? If the general cares about Fu County, Lei Tie is willing to stay in Zitong!"
Zhang Wei wanted to agree immediately, but Lei Tie was a rare general who was so loyal. He had abandoned him before, so how could he be used as a scapegoat this time, so he immediately rejected Lei Tie's suggestion.
"Don't worry, General Lei, I will guard Zitong with you this time!"
Zhang Wei's vow to live and die together made Lei Tie's cheek twitch. He really didn't stay when he should stay, and he didn't leave when he should leave!
"General Zhang doesn't have to be like this. Yizhou can be without Lei Tie, but how can it be without General Zhang! I hope General Zhang will put the overall situation first and help Prefect Zhang to pacify Mianzhu as soon as possible!"
"this..."
Lei Tie was so useful that Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
Zhang Wei doesn't want to leave? He definitely wants to leave! It's not clear how many troops Liu Zhang brought with him. I just heard from his subordinates that they were covering up the sky and the sun, and they couldn't see the beginning or the end!
If Liu Zhang surrounded Zitong City, how many days could these five thousand soldiers hold on?
If you think about running away at that time, it will be a fool's errand!
So when Zhang Wei said that he and Lei Tie would live and die together, he was totally out of his mind! He regretted it after he said it!
Now that Lei Tie asked him to leave so righteously, Zhang Wei felt that there was no need to refuse anymore. After all, he didn't propose it himself!
"General Lei is so loyal, I will tell my brother the truth! How many troops does General Lei need?"
After asking, Zhang Wei became nervous instantly. He was really afraid that Lei Tie would give him all 5,000 people and leave!
If Lei Tie really asked for five thousand people, would Zhang Wei give it or not?
Lei Tieze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Wei was finally leaving! If Zhang Wei never left, it would be hard for him to find a chance.
"Zitong City has three gates and requires at least three thousand soldiers and horses."
"Okay! I will give General Lei three thousand men!"
Zhang Wei suddenly smiled and was no longer nervous.
Three thousand soldiers, this is just the right number!
If this number is less, Zitong will not be able to hold on for long! If it exceeds this number, Zhang Wei himself will not be able to bear it!
It can only be said that the two of them, who had their own thoughts, are now both happy!
"Don't worry, General Lei. After arriving in Fujian, I will definitely work hard to gather troops and horses! General Lei only needs to hold on for a while, and I will definitely send troops to rescue him!"
Lei Tie sneered in his heart, he would be a fool if he believed Zhang Wei, and immediately started to trick Zhang Wei.
"General Zhang, don't worry, Lei Tie will definitely coexist with Zitong City!"
