If Zhang Wei is devastated, why should Zhang Lu be too?
But now there is no way out!
There are eleven cities in Guanghan County. After entering Luo County, it is equivalent to giving away ten cities to Liu Zhang!
After the Ma Xiang Rebellion, Luoxian County was in dilapidated condition, and even became dispensable in Guanghan County!
Even if Zhang Lu rises up and wants to attack Guanghan County in the future, he will still need the steel wall of Mianzhu!
"Brother, although the city of Luo County is strong, it has long been in decline. Why don't we stick to Mianzhu?"
In Zhang Wei's view, as long as Mianzhu can be defended and the Yizhou Prefectural Mufu is under control, there is still hope for everything!
"Hey! Why don't I want to! But the veterans Liu Yan left behind are all in Mianzhu, so it is inevitable that they will not cooperate with Liu Zhang inside and outside! Besides, there are still five thousand soldiers and horses in Luo County, which I use to guard against Jia Long.
"
It turns out that Zhang Lu had been wary of Jia Long so that soldiers and horses from Shu County could not sneak into Guanghan!
"Brother, why not transfer the soldiers and horses from Luo County to Mianzhu? If there are 6,000 soldiers and horses, it will be enough to defend Mianzhu!"
The terrain of Mianzhu is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there are enough troops and horses, Zhang Wei is confident to resist Liu Zhang.
If you can't win in a field battle or can't calculate a plan, can there be any problems if you stick to the city?
"It's too late. Liu Zhang is pursuing so hard. It's good if we can reach Mianzhu alive!"
"Besides, do you still have the confidence to confront Liu Zhang? Have you noticed that our 80,000-strong army was inexplicably defeated..."
This is what Zhang Lu cannot accept the most. The 80,000-strong army did not even engage in a hand-to-hand fight with Liu Zhang!
Last time, they were attacked by a group of flaming bulls and forced to kill each other. This time, they were more direct, taking down their own 20,000-strong army without a single blow!
A big question mark couldn't help but arise in Zhang Lu's heart. Is Liu Zhang too smart, or is he too stupid?
"Brother, Liu Zhang is really a traitor in the world. We brothers can't defeat him..."
At this point, Zhang Wei had to admit the fact that the strength of the two was not in the same dimension at all.
"Second brother, recognize the facts! After we retreat to Luoxian County, Jia Long will not be able to sit still! He will definitely support our army, let's not worry about it then!"
Looking at Zhang Wei who was extremely depressed and silent, Zhang Lu shook his head helplessly, and then sighed softly.
"Hey, Liu Zhang is a traitor, you can't compete with him!"
Although Zhao Yun was chasing after him, he was still not as good as Zhang Wei who knew the route well.
Since there were only two people, Zhang Wei could take Zhang Lu through the paths as he pleased, going around here and there, leaving Zhao Yun far behind.
When passing through Fuxian County, Zhang Lu didn't even look at it, and passed directly outside the city, heading straight for Mianzhu.
After running around all night, Zhang and Lu finally arrived at Mianzhu City at dawn.
Everything in Mianzhu remained as usual, with no sign of being attacked. Zhang Lu was also very sure that Liu Zhang would definitely have difficulty reaching Mianzhu for a while.
After all, Zhang and Lu didn't rest all night and took many dangerous shortcuts, which saved a lot of time than taking the main road.
Zhang Wei took deep breaths several times in order to clear his dizzy mind.
"Huh...brother, Mianzhu must be safe and sound at this time, but Liu Zhang's army will attack at any time, we still need to hurry up!"
"Yes, the traitor Liu Zhang must be marching towards Mianzhu day and night, thinking of catching you and my brother!"
Zhang Lu shook his head and slapped his cheek hard with his palm.
After a night of running around, Zhang Lu was exhausted.
It's a pity that Liu Zhang will not leave them any time to rest. They need to arrange everything as soon as possible and then evacuate to Luocheng quickly!
"Brother, what are you going to do? Take all these officials away? Or kill them all?"
Suddenly a fierce look flashed in Zhang Wei's eyes. Many of Liu Yan's old ministers frequently opposed the Zhang Lu brothers. Now is a good time to kill them!
"No need, people with different beliefs don't agree with each other. We just need to bring the new state pastor and those who are willing to follow us!"
"Second brother, go quickly and reorganize your troops, then gather at the south gate. I'll go to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion to bring that trash out first!"
Zhang Lu will continue to spread the Tao of Heavenly Masters in Yizhou in the future, so there is no need to give himself a reputation as a murderer. Moreover, none of Liu Yan's old ministers are fuel-efficient lamps. If they are left to Liu Zhang, they may be able to form some influence on him.
Constraints!
As for relocating the people and moving the treasury, Zhang Lu didn't even think about it. He didn't have that much time at the moment.
Moreover, as long as you successfully escape into Luocheng, you can naturally pull up the big tree of Jia Long!
When the time comes to rely on Shu County, we will naturally need people and food! There is no need to worry about Mianzhu, which has three melons and two dates!
Brother Zhang Lu moved very quickly. After only half an hour, everything was ready, and Liu Hao was also tied up by Zhang Lu.
"Let's go."
Even with a lot of reluctance, Zhang Lu still said these two words.
Zhang Wei felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard these two simple words.
It was even easier to retreat from Baishui Pass to Jiameng Pass, from Jiameng Pass to Zitong, and from Zitong to Fu County. Mianzhu was not able to use it as the next retreat, and retreated directly to Luo, the southernmost city in Guanghan County.
city.
"..."
After thinking for a long time, the words on his lips still remained unsaid. Zhang Wei could only sigh secretly in his heart.
If we retreat again and again, how long can Luocheng hold on?
What about after Luocheng?
Do you and your eldest brother still have a way out?
Will there be a chance to set foot in Mianzhu again in this life?
Will Luocheng eventually become the grave of himself and his eldest brother?
Everything seems to be moving in this direction, but Zhang Wei is unwilling to give in. He wants to roar loudly to vent his unwillingness!
But what's the use? Everything seems like impotent rage!
Zhang Lu turned his head again and stared at Mianzhu intently.
Once upon a time, this Yizhou government was the fruit of victory that he was proud of!
But today, it has also become an important turning point towards his destruction!
Endure all the unwillingness, anger, helplessness, loss...
Zhang Lu has made a decision, even if he has to endure hardships, he must make a comeback!
For the sake of his great cause, for the Tao of Heavenly Masters of Zhang Daoling's ancestors, and for the sake of all the people of Yizhou, Zhang Lu cannot fall like this!
"Second brother, let's go! We will be back sooner or later!"
After saying this, Zhang Lu no longer hesitated, turned his head directly, no longer nostalgic for the beautiful scenery of Mianzhu, and started heading towards Luocheng with his team.
Perhaps a day ago, Zhang Wei definitely did not question his brother Zhang Lu's words, but after a day of heavy defeat, his heart was already shaken.
One day ago, the brothers were still planning to drive Liu Zhang out of Zitong.
When they arrived at Zitong City, the two brothers even made bold words to drive Liu Zhang out of Guanghan!
But one day later, Zhang and Lu had to flee for their lives alone. Even Mianzhu, the governor, did not dare to stay for a long time, so they had to flee to Luocheng in embarrassment!
"Will you come back...?"
Zhang Wei smiled mockingly to himself. The word "come back" turned out to be a luxury!
