As early as the spring of 207, a spy from Guanzhong heard news that Sima Yi, who had missed the Internet from Huainan, seemed to have failed to surrender to Liu Bei, so he went to Hanzhong to surrender to Zhang Lu. He was regarded as a guest of honor in Hanzhong, and was highly valued by Zhang Lu.
After Sima Yi became Zhang Lu's adviser, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong frequently launched military actions against Liu Zhang in Shu.
In fact, before Sima Yi arrived in Hanzhong, the relationship between the east and west was already quite bad. Small-scale military frictions between them occurred from time to time. Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu regarded each other as enemies. The reason is that Liu Zhang's father Liu
Let’s talk about that generation.
At first, Liu Yan and Zhang Lu had a very "close" relationship. According to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, "Zhang Lu, a native of Pei, had a beautiful mother, and also used ghosts to travel to Yan's family, so he appointed Lu as the governor of Sima...
…” Explanation, Zhang Lu’s mother was very beautiful and practiced some yin and yang harmony, so she was attracted by Liu Yan. After a while, Zhang Lu was appreciated by Liu Yan for his mother’s relationship and regarded as the governor of Sima
, guarded Hanzhong for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan was the first person to open his eyes to see the world at the end of the Han Dynasty. Seeing the decline of the Han court since the Second Emperor Hengling, he deliberately avoided disaster and defended himself, so he was the first to apply to the court to serve as an envoy for military supervision.
, supervising Yizhou's military affairs, thus becoming the first prefectural governor in the late Han Dynasty.
The governor of the state, this is the most powerful position in a state. He holds military and political power and is in charge of personnel appointments. Liu Yan "made a carriage and carriage in Yizhou," and regarded himself as a local emperor, and ordered Zhang Lu to "
Live in Hanzhong. Cut off Gu Pavilion and kill Han envoys." He made up his mind to not interact with the court and Baozhou defended himself. From this historical material, it can be seen that Liu Yan still appreciated Zhang Lu when he was alive, and killed Han envoys such as such a big event
They were willing to leave it to Zhang Lu, obviously because they regarded Zhang Lu as his confidant. It might be possible to say that Zhang Lu was Liu Yan's illegitimate son.
Originally, both the east and west rivers were firmly in the hands of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, but after Liu Yan died, the situation began to change.
In the first year of Xingping, Liu Yan's old injury relapsed and died of illness. At this time, Yizhou officials Zhao Wei and others wrote a letter to Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang, and the reason why he was recommended to be the governor of Yizhou was Zhao Wei and others.
I think that Liu Zhang's "Wen Ren" is just because he is cowardly and has no opinion and is easily deceived, so I worked together to make Liu Zhang the governor of the state.
Whenever a new official takes office, three fires will always be burned, otherwise it will not make people feel that there is no new look at the new official, right? Liu Zhang took office, and he was cowardly by nature, but he was rarely a man. The first fire was burned to his father.
The godson of Zhang Lu’s head!
You should know that the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Liu Zhang was a filial son, at least on the surface. After many years with Liu Yan, Liu Zhang could not be clear about the little things about his father and Zhang Lu's mother. He interfered with Zhang Lu's mother like his third party.
It was already a pity that he hated, so after taking over, Liu Zhang found a random excuse to kill his subordinates on the pretext that Zhang Lu could not kill his subordinates, and without saying a word, he arrested Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother and thus formed a relationship with Zhang Lu.
Blood feud.
How could Zhang Lu let it go if he was killed by Liu Zhang? You said you, Liu Zhang, are filial sons, are you, Zhang Lu, just an unfilial son? At this time, he had already conquered the entire Dongchuan for Liu Yan and appointed Han by Liu Yan
As soon as the news of Ning Taishou and his mother's brother being killed came, Zhang Lu immediately announced his breakup with his new lord Liu Zhang, and met with him, leading his troops to avenge his mother and brother.
Both of them fought with each other in the name of a filial son, and they have been fighting each other for years. Although Xichuan has a large land and a large population, the land is rich, but in general, Zhang Lu still has the advantage. After all, Zhang Lu started out as a low-level officer, Sima.
He also conquered the entire Dongchuan. In contrast, Liu Zhang, who inherited his father's business, was a genuine embroidered pillow.
However, the road of Shu is difficult and the pass is dangerous. Although Zhang Lu has the advantage, he cannot overthrow Liu Zhang in one fell swoop. In recent years, Zhang Lu has achieved very limited results, which only makes Liu Zhang frightened when he mentions Zhang Lu.
Before we knew it, it was early spring of 207.
This year, Zhang Lu got Sima Yi, and many other gentry stubborn people who followed Sima Yi from Huainan and refused to surrender to Wenyuan. Zhang Lu felt as if he was too strong, or was encouraged by some people, so he called his subordinate Zhang Weiwei
General Sima Yi was the military advisor and sent troops to attack Liu Zhang. When Liu Zhang heard that Zhang Lu came to attack Hanzhong again, he was panicked, but he had no choice but to send troops to compete with Hanzhong's troops.
There are not without generals in Shu. There are Zhang Ren and Yan Yan's first-class generals. The configuration of other generals is also higher than that of Hanzhong. However, Liu Zhang is weak and incompetent. A group of generals cannot be used well under his command. The army is loose and the war is war.
How could a weak force be the opponent of Sima Yi? After several battles, the Shu army lost a lot. They hid in Jiameng Pass and could not retreat and would never dare to fight against the Hanzhong army again.
When the news reached Chengdu, Liu Zhang was naturally shocked and summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures urgently. He discussed some specific information in Wenyuan and did not explain it in detail. However, after a few months, the exercises placed in Jingzhou were reported, Liu Bei—
—This old opponent Wen Yuan was most concerned about began to assemble his troops at the junction of Jingxi and Yizhou!
After receiving this news, Wen Yuan had almost confirmed that Liu Zhang and Liu Bei had reached an agreement and asked Liu Bei to send troops to Sichuan to deal with Zhang Lu. History is surprisingly similar to this matter, but Wen Yuan was a little puzzled that Zhang Song did not come to Yecheng to find him, and Liu Bei
It seems that he is more eager to get Yizhou than recorded in historical records!
Zhang Song didn't come, Wen Yuan thought hard for a long time but couldn't get the answer, and this doubt could not tell the people around him to share his worries. After thinking about it, Wen Yuan could only ambiguously believe that the current situation was obviously different from history.
It is normal for Zhang Song not to present the picture. As for Liu Bei, Wen Yuan felt that he had some contact with this hero. After all, Liu Bei was under pressure from Cao Cao after the Battle of Red Cliff in history, he was obviously not as heavy as Wen Yuan gave now.
!
Nanzheng, he was not defeated. Although Liu Bei got half of Jingzhou, his fear of himself obviously did not allow him to rest assured. It should be a strong sense of crisis that forced Liu Bei tore off the mask of false righteousness and urged him to
I want to win Yizhou and gain a larger territory and settle down!
Well, that's it!
As Wen Yuan expected, Liu Bei was indeed unable to hold back his anger. As soon as Liu Zhang sent someone to ask him to deal with Zhang Lu, Liu Bei quickly brought his troops into Shu and took him to the ground.
Wen Yuan really doesn't know what happened in Shu! The Shu road is difficult, and it takes two months to get from there to Yecheng one-way. The intelligence base there is undoubtedly the weakest, even Wen Yuan
, In this era, accurate information about Shuzhong cannot be obtained in time.
Not getting news is not the most critical. What makes Wen Yuan most upset is watching Liu Bei enter Sichuan, but Wen Yuan is unable to react for a while.
