Chapter 190: Breaking the situation begins with Pang Xi
"Lord, there is chaos in the middle of Shu. As long as Liu Zhang doesn't pacify Yizhou for one day, we still have a chance!" Yan Pu smiled, and Zhang Lu immediately felt at ease.
"That's right!" Yang Ang didn't want to go to others, but when he saw that Yan Pu had the same opinion as him, he quickly agreed.
Yang Ren was Yang Ang's eldest brother. He slapped Yang Ang on the head and said, "What do you know? Be quiet and listen to Mr. Yan!"
Yang Ang looked aggrieved, Yan Pu shook his head and said with a smile: "My lord, there is a chaos in Yizhou now. Not to mention Zhu Ti has General Zhang Wei, there is also Pang Xi's 80,000 troops in Ba County. Liu Jiyu put 40,000 elite troops in
Hanzhong must be to guard against the lord. But in this case, he only has 60,000 troops in his hands, but he has to deal with an army of 130,000. How long do you think it will take Liu Zhang to pacify Yizhou?"
"This..." Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "If I were the one who could guarantee undefeated, I would still be laughing, but still want to pacify? I'm dreaming! However, Liu Zhang is more capable than me, maybe he can really pacify Yizhou. To be honest, if not
I have no choice but to be my enemy!"
Yan Pu smiled and said: "It's important for people to know themselves, and my lord is not bad at all! It's a pity that my lord's ambition is not in the world! To be honest, it must be a pleasant thing to serve under Liu Zhang. What a pity..."
"Mr. Yan!" Seeing that Yan Pu kept praising Liu Zhang, Yang Ren and Yang Ang were a little unhappy! However, Yan Pu has always been Zhang Lu's think tank, so Yang Ren and Yang Ang did not dare to go too far.
"You!" Yan Pu sighed: "Actually, your brothers are also quite capable, but unfortunately you are too arrogant and a little narrow-minded!"
"Mr. Yan, let's talk about Liu Zhang!" Yang Ren knew that what Yan Pu said was true, but he didn't want to continue discussing this issue. As the saying goes: A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change. Even if Yang Ren and Yang Ang
Even if you want to change it, it’s too late!
"Okay!" Yan Pu said with a smile: "Liu Zhang only has 60,000 troops, and he has to divide his troops to deal with Pang Xi and Zhang Wei. If the lord leaves Hanzhong now, Liu Zhang can transfer Hanzhong's 40,000 elite troops back, and his chances of winning will be greater.
A lot! Therefore, if we hold back Liu Zhang’s 40,000 elite men here, it will not be so easy to tell the winner between him and Pang Xi and Zhang Wei! If we defend for a long time, we will lose, and we will have to wait for Liu Zhang to make a mistake!"
"But Zhang Fei is so powerful, we are no match for him!" This was the first time Zhang Lu met a fierce general like Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's overwhelming momentum made Zhang Lu not only frustrated, but also a little scared.
"Zhang Fei is powerful, but why should we fight with him?" Yan Pu laughed and said: "When we meet Zhang Fei, we will retreat. Our purpose is to drag Zhang Fei to Hanzhong and give him to the two generals Pang Xi and Zhang Wei.
Create opportunities. Even if we can't win, we can still hold back Liu Zhang! Yizhou is a country of abundance. Seeing the civil strife in Yizhou, will other princes let it go? Maybe, when Liu Zhang has no time to take care of Bingzhou, the governor of Bingzhou appointed by Liu Zhang will
They will all be independent!"
"Okay!" Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Just do as Mr. Yan said, summon the Hanzhong ghost soldiers and hold Zhang Fei and Yan Yan to support the two generals Pang Xi and Zhang Wei!"
Zhang Lu made up his mind, and the ghost soldiers of the Five Dou Rice Sect gathered again. It has to be said that the Five Dou Rice Sect was very popular in Hanzhong. Even after such a defeat, Zhang Lu still summoned an army of hundreds of thousands, and those who did not come,
Most of them have died in the battle under Hanzhong City. However, Pang Xi and Zhang Wei, who Zhang Lu wanted to support, are now in distress!
Bajun, Guan Yu, and Huang Zhong led an army of 40,000 people and clamored outside the city, but Pang Xi cowered in the city and did not dare to move. Originally, Pang Xi relied on his large number of troops to attempt a showdown with Huang Zhong. After Guan Yu joined, Huang Zhong
He led an army of 40,000 to a decisive battle with Pang Xi at the foot of Bajun City. During the decisive battle, Guan Yu single-handedly broke into the enemy formation and almost killed Pang Xi. Pang Xi was so frightened that he no longer dared to propose a fight.
Zhuti County, County Sheriff's Mansion. Zhao Wei, Jia Long, and Zhang Wei received the intelligence from Hanzhong and Bajun. They sat helplessly in the hall, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.
"Mr. Zhao, General Jia! It's been half a month and we are still here. When can we go to support our brother?" Zhang Wei had an army of 50,000, but Zhao Yun led 20,000 to block him not far from Zhu Ti.
How embarrassing is this for Zhang Weiqing?
Zhao Wei sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhao Yun was so powerful. According to reports, Hanzhong and Bajun seemed to have been suppressed, but Liu Zhang only used 100,000 people! With Liu Zhang's reputation in Chengdu, he wanted to summon ten more
Ten thousand people, there should be no problem!”
"I don't want to know how many people Liu Zhang can summon. I just want to know why he can go to Hanzhong to support his elder brother!" Ever since the news of Zhang Lu's defeat came from Hanzhong, Zhang Wei seemed a little impatient.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long term!" Zhao Wei had no choice but to comfort Zhang Wei, but the irritable Zhang Wei was not so easy to appease.
"Bah!" Jia Long punched the desk and said, "What's the hurry? The most important thing to avoid in military service is impatience! If Zhao Yun takes the opportunity to defeat you, how can you face your elder brother? You know, now is a life-or-death situation.
If we win, everyone will benefit; if we lose, we will all die! Zhao Wei and I are already alone, but you are still a family!"
"Uh..." After being scolded by Jia Long, Zhang Wei finally calmed down. He couldn't help asking: "It's not an option to just wait like this. If, as Mr. Zhao said, Liu Zhang is still struggling with his troops to invade, what should he do?
good?"
"What are you afraid of?" Jia Long said with a smile: "Recruiting soldiers is not that easy! There is no need to prepare military rations or equipment? Is it possible that Liu Zhang sent out a stick and asked the soldiers to come to fight? What we have to do now is,
Just waiting for Liu Zhang to show his flaws!"
"General Jia's words make sense!" Seeing Zhang Wei calm down, Zhao Wei immediately agreed with Jia Long.
"Oh! Just wait!" Zhang Wei had no choice but to go and rest first. If Zhang Lu hadn't asked him to listen to Zhao Wei and Jia Long's opinions before leaving, he would have been defeated by Zhao Yun.
Chengdu, in the Governor's Mansion. When the battles between Hanzhong, Zhuti, and Bajun were in full swing, Liu Zhang was also paying attention to the achievements of the three parties.
"Fengxiao, how is the battle going?" Liu Zhang was holding a wine cup, and Zhang Ning was serving wine beside him. The rebellion of more than 200,000 horses from three sides in Yizhou was just a trial in Liu Zhang's opinion.
You know, Zhao Yun and others have followed Liu Zhang for a long time, and this is the first time they are on their own. In fact, Liu Zhang wants to train Zhao Yun the most, not only because Zhao Yun is his junior brother, but also because Zhao Yun has the most handsome temperament. Whether it is heart or character, Zhao Yun is better than Zhao Yun.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are perfect. As for Huang Zhong, he is almost forty years old this year. It is better to train him than to train Huang Xu. Unfortunately, Huang Xu fell ill when he was a child, and his martial arts has not reached the height of Huang Zhong.
"Thank you, madam!" Guo Jia also relaxedly held a glass of wine and sat opposite Liu Zhang. When Zhang Ning saw that Guo Jia's glass was empty, he immediately refilled it. Although Zhang Ning was just a concubine, Guo Jia knew that Liu Zhang
He loves the women around him very much, so he is very polite.
"Let's talk about serious things!" Seeing Guo Jia being lazy, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel helpless.
Guo Jiaxiao asked: "How can we talk about serious things while drinking?"
"Uh..." Liu Zhang smiled and said, "Well, Guo Fengxiao, since you don't want to drink, I'll take the drink away!"
"Don't! It's just a joke!" Guo Jia quickly grabbed the wine bottle and said with a shy smile: "My lord, now Bajun, Zhu Ti, and Hanzhong have reached a stalemate. Zhang Wei and Pang Xi can't get out, but Zhang Lu seems to be hiding.
When I enter the mountains, the most annoying thing is the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, I don’t know what to do!”
"Ignore Zhang Lu for now! Even if we catch him, we can't kill him now!" Liu Zhang's eyes flashed coldly. If Liu Yan hadn't still had lingering feelings for Zhang Lu's mother, he wouldn't have had a headache.
"Then we can only start with Pang Xi!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "I heard that the Gan family is a big family in Bajun. How about asking Gan Ning to write a handwritten letter asking his father to be promoted to Han Dynasty and Yunchang to open the door?"
"I'm worried that Pang Xi will be harmful to the Gan family!" He is just Pang Xi. If Liu Zhang wants to exchange Gan Ning for him, he will not do it.
"Don't worry, my lord!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "The Gan clan has already moved away from Bajun. Now, except for Gan Ning's father who is still in Bajun, the others are just side branches and domestic slaves. I know the importance of Gan Ning.
, how can you risk him!"
"That's the best!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Is there any news from Chang'an?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia picked up a few pieces of information and handed them to Liu Zhang: "My lord, please take a look!"
"Huh?" Liu Zhang pointed to the intelligence and asked, "When did this happen?"
Following Liu Zhang's finger, it turned out that it was Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu who were making a big fuss in Fengyiting.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "It was about a month ago! I heard that after Lu Bu had a rift with Dong Zhuo, his relationship with Wang Yun became better and better. Because of this, Dong Zhuo didn't treat him even more!"
"Alas! Dong Zhongying is going to die!" Liu Zhang sighed and said, "I ordered Shi A to contact Wang Yue. How is the matter being handled?"
"Wang Yue has agreed to my lord's request and try to ensure the safety of the four Queen Mothers!"
Guo Jia asked with some confusion: "My lord, Dong Zhuo is in the spotlight now, why do you say he is going to die?"
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Dong Zhuo has a son, but he is not an adult. What I said at Hulao Pass probably gave Lu Bu some unnecessary thoughts. Although Dong Zhuo accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son, he only regarded Lu Bu as his adopted son.
As a general under his command. With Lu Bu's character, once his hopes are disappointed, he will have extreme thoughts. Wang Yun is the leader of the royalist party. After Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo fell out, he must have some agenda when he got close to Lu Bu."
"This..." Guo Jia asked in disbelief: "Master, is Lu Bu so easily persuaded by Wang Yun?"
"Ding Yuan treated Lu Bu like his own son, but Lu Bu still killed him. What can't a slave with three surnames do?" Liu Zhang said this with disdain.
In his previous life, Liu Zhang despised Lu Bu's character. In this life, after getting to know Lu Bu, he felt that he was pretty good. Later, when Zhang Liao explained why Ding Yuan asked Lu Bu to be the chief clerk, he thought that Lu Bu would no longer be a slave of the third surname. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu
He still killed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo. It would be strange if Liu Zhang could think highly of Lu Bu!
