"Yongnian, I will be conquering Jianwei and Bajun in the near future. Can you go with me as a soldier?"
Liu Zhang did not want to train Zhang Song to be the governor of a county. On the contrary, he wanted to train him to be a military advisor.
Zhang Song has great talent. In the future, the number of troops everywhere will continue to increase, and there will be a shortage of military advisers.
"Zhang Song takes the order!"
Liu Zhang's appointment was in line with Zhang Song's thoughts, and his thoughts followed Liu Zhang's at all times.
Although his rank as a member of the army was small, he was Liu Zhang's confidant.
Zhang Song does not want to soar into the sky like his brother. On the contrary, Zhang Song wants to prove himself.
Prove his talent to the world.
He also wanted to prove to Liu Zhang that he was not wrong about the person!
"Wenhe!"
Now everyone has made arrangements, and Liu Zhang wants to solemnly introduce his number one person, Jia Xu, to these people.
Jia Xu silently walked to Liu Zhang's side, saluted and faced the crowd.
"Everyone, this is my general's mastermind, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. His talent is one of the best in the world! First, I will leave my post for Yizhou!"
"Jia Xu and this general are actually both teachers and friends. Let me tell you this, as long as this general is not in Chengdu, Jia Xu can make all the decisions, and you must obey!"
Liu Zhang spoke very fully and gave Jia Xu the greatest rights. Not only did he move Jia Xu, but he also shocked everyone below.
Jia Xu suppressed the emotion in his heart and bowed to everyone.
"My lords, I will serve the lord together in the future, so please take good care of me!"
Everyone didn't dare to be disrespectful and returned the favor one after another, saying they didn't dare.
"Okay, Jia Xu, Wang Shang, Zhang Song, and Zhang Su will stay here for a while, and the others will leave first!"
Everyone bowed their hands and left, and the room instantly became spacious.
"Wen Biao, Jun Jiao, both of you are new governors. You must be familiar with government affairs in the shortest possible time."
It is not a simple task for the governor of a county to manage more than ten counties. If it is not handled well, the entire county will become chaotic.
Of course, Liu Zhang had great trust in the abilities of Wang Shang and Zhang Su, so saying this was enough to encourage them.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will do our best!"
Wang Shang and Zhang Su had very firm eyes, and they were both very confident that they were qualified to serve as county guards.
"Wen He, when the army arrives, Jianwei County will definitely be pacified, but I will directly lead the army to attack Ba County and direct my troops towards Jiangzhou!"
"You immediately send an order to Xun You and Zheng Du to get ready and prepare to attack Zhao Wei together with me!"
The battle of Bajun is crucial. After capturing Jianwei County, the morale of Liu Zhang's army will reach its peak.
Liu Zhang must take Bajun in one go and not give Zhao Wei any chance to breathe.
"As you command!"
"In addition, allocate food and fodder to Xun You and Zheng Du immediately. Don't delay the attack because of the food and fodder issue."
Bazhong and Langzhong were different from Chengdu, and it was very inconvenient to transport grain, so Liu Zhang gave an extra reminder.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will prepare immediately!"
By entrusting Jia Xu with full authority over the food and grass matters, Liu Zhang could focus entirely on the conquest.
"Wen Biao, Shu County is a major grain-producing county. You must cooperate with Wen He to supply the army to Qianwei County in time."
"As you command!"
"Jun Jiao, Langzhong's military rations are supplied by Guanghan County. You can prepare them after you take office!"
"As you command!"
The three-way army is supplied by exactly three counties, so the pressure will not be too great, and each food shipment will not be a huge amount.
"This battle will be a key battle to unify Yizhou. You must go all out to ensure that the army can successfully pacify Bajun!"
Liu Zhang once again emphasized the importance of this use of troops. If there are no accidents, Bajun must be pacified before the end of the year.
"As you command!"
Three days later, everything was ready in Chengdu. Liu Zhang took command in person, with Zhang Song as a member of the army. He led his subordinates Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Tai Shi Ci, and Lei Tie, with a total of 40,000 troops to conquer Jianwei County.
Positive.
Liu Zhang marched calmly, marching forty miles a day, and arrived at Wuyang City on time five days later.
Just when Liu Zhang led his army to the gate of Wuyang City, the Yang family of Wuyang immediately sent an envoy to ask for an audience with Liu Zhang.
Ever since Ren Qi was defeated in Chengdu, Wuyang was almost an empty city, with some guards in front of it, no more than two or three thousand at most.
Liu Zhang had almost guessed Yang's intention of coming, and most likely he wanted to offer the city.
"Greetings to Mr. Zhou Mu!"
"Get up, Yang, just tell me what you want."
Liu Zhang was not willing to waste any words. He had 40,000 troops standing by him and was ready to take Wuyang in just one hour.
"Yes! Yang hopes to invite Mr. Zhou Mu to the city to discuss the return of Qianwei County."
Liu Zhang sneered, his eyes gradually showing displeasure.
"It's a joke. I can break the city in half an hour. How about I call in and talk to you Yang family?"
The people from Wuyang seemed to have anticipated this situation, and bowed their hands to Liu Zhang again.
"Master Zhou Mu, please calm down. The people of Yizhou all know that Master Zhou Mu loves the people like his own children. I believe Master Zhou Mu does not want to cause more killings. If Master Zhou Mu can come to the city to negotiate, then the nine counties of Jianwei County and the Yang family can help Zhou Mu."
Lord Mu persuades you to surrender!"
The Yang family envoy looked at Liu Zhang with a smile. He threatened Liu Zhang with righteousness and was not afraid that Liu Zhang would not submit.
"Hehehe..."
Liu Zhang suddenly smiled, a very bright smile, but there was a strong sense of ridicule and disdain in this smile.
"Do you know that your words will bring disaster to the Yang family? I can just send my troops to attack the city. When the city is broken, the Yang family will not leave any chickens or dogs behind!"
The Yang family envoy frowned, obviously this situation was beyond his imagination.
"Lord Zhou Mu..."
"Okay, you all said that I love my people as my own children, and that is indeed the case! Today, I will go to Wuyang City to see what kind of dragon and tiger's den it is!"
When the conversation changed, Liu Zhang suddenly changed his previous attitude and agreed to the request of the Yang family envoy.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu!"
The messenger quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then immediately bowed and thanked him.
"I wonder how many people Mr. Zhou Mu plans to take?"
Zhang Song on the side couldn't help it anymore and stood up directly.
"Are you, the Yang family, looking for death? Do you really think my master is afraid of you?"
It is already too much to ask Liu Zhang to go to Wuyang City in person. At this moment, he actually wants to limit the number of people he can bring! Regardless of Liu Zhang's opinion, Zhang Song can't pass this test!
"I don't dare, but if Mr. Zhou Mu brings heavy troops, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Wuyang City."
"What does the Yang family mean?"
Compared with Zhang Song's aggressive attitude, Liu Zhang was quite calm.
"No more than five hundred people!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the envoy lowered his head and did not dare to look at Liu Zhang's reaction.
After a long time, Liu Zhang suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, it's so small in Wuyang City, why does it need 500 people! I can only take one person with me!"
"When evil comes, follow me into the city!"
Zhang Song was shocked and quickly stepped forward to dissuade Liu Zhang.
"Lord, a gentleman must not be careless unless he stands under a dangerous wall!"
Liu Zhang patted Zhang Song on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.
"Yongnian, don't worry, little Wu Yangcheng, how can you do anything to me!"
