Looking at the people in the main hall, Liu Zhang smiled and said: "In that case, what does Jingzhou have to fear? Even if Liu Qi is killed, why not?"
After Liu Zhang finished speaking these two sentences, the hall suddenly fell into silence. Everyone stared at Liu Zhang in stunned silence for a long time.
Seemingly not noticing everyone's shock, Liu Zhang continued: "As far as I know, Liu Qi is in Zitong County at this time. Among the entire Zitong County, only Jingzhou has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them are scattered in various cities.
Now is the opportunity to kill Liu Qi."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, the hall fell into complete silence. Even Huang Quan, Qiao Zhou and others looked at Liu Zhang in disbelief.
Others looked at Liu Zhang with different eyes, some were sympathetic, some were angry, some were helpless, but most of them were shocked.
Although Yang Huai captured Jiangyou within an hour, which shocked everyone, it does not mean that everyone is no longer afraid of Jingzhou.
It is not that Jingzhou has failed before. Liu Qi was deeply trapped in Jiangdong and was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops. Everyone thought that Liu Qi would be defeated and killed, but what was the result? Jiangdong lost troops and generals, and even Yangzhou Mu Sunce and his general Zhou Yu’s wife
They were all kidnapped, which can be said to be a great shame and humiliation for Jiangdong.
Immediately afterwards, the aristocratic family headed by the Cai family turned against Liu Qi and was about to suppress Liu Qi. However, Liu Qi confiscated the family and exterminated the clan. Liu Qi seemed to have turned defeat into victory again.
When Liu Qi got married, Jiang Dong and Cao Cao joined forces to deal with Jingzhou, but they ended up in disgrace and lost all face.
……………………
Piece by piece, piece by piece, Liu Qi's reputation has been established unconsciously. Anyone who is an enemy of Jingzhou, no, to be precise, who is an enemy of Liu Qi, is taking advantage of it.
In this situation, Liu Qi turned defeat into victory, and the end was extremely miserable.
At this time, when they heard that Liu Zhang was going to kill Liu Qi, everyone was trembling in their hearts. First they felt disbelief, then shock, and then some panic.
Yang Huai only captured one city, which was really insignificant compared to Liu Qi's reputation in Jingzhou. Where did Liu Zhang get such confidence? Everyone turned their heads to look at Qiao Zhou, Liu Zhang's changes these days,
It's all because of this person.
However, when everyone saw Qiao Zhou looking at Liu Zhang in disbelief, their anger towards Qiao Zhou was reduced a bit.
"My lord wants to kill Liu Qi, and the last general is the vanguard."
Just when everyone was silent, a shout rang out, making the entire hall buzz. Everyone suddenly turned their heads and saw that the person speaking was Liu Zhang's general Lei Tong.
"Okay, in that case, I will order you to lead 50,000 troops to attack Zitong. Li Yan will assist you, and Liu Qi will be killed." Liu Zhang immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
"promise."
Lei Tong bowed and saluted. At the same time, beside Lei Tong, a young man wearing a white Confucian robe also stood up. He bowed with Lei Tong, it was Li Yan.
Although he had just defected to Yizhou, he gained Liu Zhang's trust. The reason why Liu Zhang was able to lead an army of 200,000 people northward without any scruples was due to Li Yan.
Liu Zhang's reaction shocked everyone in the hall, but then everyone reacted again and looked at Liu Zhang with a bit of curiosity.
Liu Zhang had clearly planned to kill Liu Qi for a long time. He brought the matter up for them to discuss. He just wanted to see everyone's reaction, otherwise he would not have suppressed him. Just when the news of Yang Huai's success came back, Liu Zhang
Can't wait to finalize this matter.
Thinking of the situation of Yang Huai's attack on Jiangyou and the strange news of Yang Huai's success, everyone's minds became a little clearer. Lord Zhou Mu seemed to have started planning this matter a long time ago.
However, when did Liu Zhang, who had always been cowardly and incompetent, become so scheming? Until this moment, no one would have thought that this incident was a play directed by Liu Zhang from beginning to end.
Could it be Qiao Zhou? Everyone had different ideas and speculated on who was behind the scenes making plans for Liu Zhang?
Ignoring everyone's thoughts, Liu Zhang spoke again.
"The three cities of Mianyang need to be captured as soon as possible, but the other cities cannot be relaxed, and once these three cities are captured, the army will be able to enter continuously from Zitong County, and then they can take advantage of the situation to sweep through Hanzhong and even Shangyong.
They will all fall into our hands. Leng Bao leads his 20,000 soldiers and horses to be on standby at any time. Once the three cities are captured, he should go straight to the sword pavilion and enter Hanzhong."
"No." Leng Bao stood up suddenly and bowed in response.

Brazil County
Since the last time Huang Zhong came to attack Brazil County, the entire Brazil County has been in turmoil. Originally, they thought there would be a fierce battle, but when the war was about to begin, it was reported that Huang Zhong led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Yinping County.
Yan Yan, who had gathered 10,000 troops in a hurry, was worried for a while.
Then he felt very annoyed. Huang Zhong clearly didn't take him seriously by doing this.
Liu Zhang gathered an army of 200,000 and headed north. He originally planned to lead his troops to meet with him, but before leaving, he received an order from Liu Zhang, telling him to stay put and not move.
This made Yan Yan confused and couldn't help but feel angry. Although the 200,000 troops gathered together could crush the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, but if the 200,000 troops were divided into several groups, the Jingzhou soldiers and horses could also be overwhelmed.
In this way, he could not only prevent any changes in the rear, but also defeat Jingzhou. This was originally the best way in Yan Yan's mind, but at this time, Liu Zhang canceled all the bans.
"What are you paying attention to, Mr. Zhou Mu?" Yan Yan frowned in the big tent: "If you want to crush Jingzhou in one fell swoop, then why do you have to stop me alone? But what if you want to attack from two directions?
Do you need these ten thousand troops from me?"
At this time, Liu Zhang had another 200,000 troops under his command. Not to mention dividing the troops into two groups, even if the troops were divided into ten groups, it would still be enough to drive Jingzhou troops out of Yizhou. However, his 10,000 troops did not seem to be too many.
value.
Standing up, before Yan Yan came to the map, he had read this map hundreds of times. He remembered every road, every valley, and even every village on the map clearly, but every time
When he was confused, he still used to look at the map.
Yan Yan stared closely at Brazil. Liu Zhang asked him to lead 10,000 troops and stand still here. For what purpose? Moving his eyes upward, he saw that next to Brazil is Zitong County, which is now occupied by Jingzhou, and is also the gateway to Hanzhong.
road.
"Um?"
Suddenly Yan Yan's eyes flashed and he moved to the right. On the map was Shangyong County in Jingzhou.
"Huh!" Yan Yan breathed out and looked at the map for a long time without saying anything, but his eyes were full of excitement. Shangyong, Liu Zhang's goal turned out to be Shangyong, Shangyong is close to Yizhou, and it must have just been recaptured by Jingzhou.
All waste is waiting for improvement, and precautions are extremely lax.
If he led 10,000 soldiers and horses to suddenly attack Shangyong, he would definitely be able to occupy Shangyong in one fell swoop. As long as he captures Shangyong, Yizhou will be in an invincible position. All the grain and grass needed by Liu Qi's army will be transported by Shangyong.
If Shangyong falls into his hands, he can easily cut off the food, grass and baggage of Liu Qi's army.
It was also able to block Jingzhou's reinforcements from Yizhou, and was even able to invade Hanzhong from Shangyong, and attack Liu Zhang from two directions to annihilate Liu Qi's army within Yizhou.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Such a large-scale layout was really unimaginable. At this moment, Yan Yan couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Who on earth was planning something for Liu Zhang?
Once Yizhou takes Hanzhong, Shangyong and other places and wipes out Liu Qi's army, the entire Jingzhou will even become a piece of fat meat, and Yizhou, which is the closest, will naturally have the most abundant harvest.
If just one strategy can be realized, Yizhou's power will definitely increase dramatically, and it will be able to expand its power several times in a short period of time.
Thinking of Zhang Ren who suddenly disappeared, Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the last defeat, Zhang Ren only appeared once and then disappeared. No matter how much he inquired, he could not find out the news about Zhang Ren. Originally, he was worried that Liu Zhang would kill Zhang Ren in anger, but now it seems that he must have.
Leave important matters to Zhang Ren.
He believed that his ability in leading troops was inferior to that of Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren could be said to be the hope of Yizhou and there could be no mishaps.
Deng Deng Deng......
Just as Yan Yan was deep in thought, the sound of rapid footsteps came in.
"Huh?" Yan Yan frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He specifically told him that no one should disturb him without his instructions, but now that he had just thought of something, someone came to disturb him.
"General, a letter from Lord Zhou Mu has been delivered."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yan was startled for a moment, then turned around suddenly and walked quickly outside the tent. Liu Zhang's letter might contain his next instructions. How could he not be in a hurry.
He opened the curtain and came outside the big tent. He saw a young general standing bowed and holding a letter in his hand. Without enough time, Yan Yan turned the letter in the young general's hand over.
, opened it immediately and started reading.
After a while, Yan Yan's laughter could be heard throughout the camp. Yan Yan, who had always been steady and steady, was now crying with joy.
Liu Zhang's cowardice and incompetence have disappointed him countless times. Liu Yan was so high-spirited when he led him into Yizhou. He was also infected by Liu Yan and hoped to follow Liu Yan to do great things. However,
Things went against expectations, Liu Yan died early, and Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne.
The cowardly and incompetent Liu Zhang kept giving in in front of the Yizhou family. If he hadn't won the support of Liu Yan's subordinates, Yan Yan really couldn't imagine what Yizhou would be like at this time.
Even with the support of these deployments loyal to Liu Yan, Liu Zhang still tolerated and gave in to the Yizhou family, making Yizhou a joint governance between him and the Yizhou family.
This cowardice is really hopeless.
Although I don't know why Liu Zhang issued such an order, as long as this strategy is realized, the rise of Yizhou is just around the corner.
"Order the army to prepare for war! Attack Zitong County tomorrow!" Yan Yan put away the letter and shouted outside the tent.
