At this point, Liu Pan's 50,000-strong army, except for the Jinxuan tribe, had all been annihilated. The two battles at Yemapo and Luoying Valley had completely eliminated the biggest hidden danger in Jingnan, leaving only Zhang Yi in Changsha.
"My lord, Liu Pan's army was defeated and he died in Luoying Valley. We should take advantage of the situation to attack You County and establish the overall situation in Jingnan."
Zhang Ren asked for orders loudly, and there was unconcealable excitement in the invitation. Not only him, but all the generals were extremely excited. Eight thousand troops marched thousands of miles, went to Wuling, fought at Yuanshui, and came out of Hanshou. They wiped out 50,000 Jingzhou soldiers in three battles.
, they were all elite, and their own losses were minimal. Such a record was enough to shine through history, and after this battle, all the generals of the Sichuan Army would become famous all over the world along with Liu Zhang.
After six years of silence, there was a sudden success. At first, all the generals of the Shu army thought that they would die of old age in Yizhou, but they did not expect that they would be able to accomplish such feats in their lifetime. Which passionate general would not be excited.
Liu Zhang shook his head slowly, with a solemn expression: "There is no need to attack Jinxuan. Jinxuan is a lone soldier, and the food and grass are cut off. Zhang Yi has been besieged for two years, and the food and grass accumulated by his father Zhang Xian have been exhausted. That's how Zhang Yi quickly
If they are defeated, keep the two armies and fight for food and grass sooner or later."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Garrison Hanshou and march south to Lingling and Guiyang."
Liu Zhang and Fazheng were walking on the path of the county government. Fazheng said to Liu Zhang: "My lord has been in charge of the war for several days and has slept very little. Now that the war is taking a break, it is better to sleep for a while."
Fa Zheng saw Liu Zhang's heavy face, not looking like he had just won a battle, and knew what he was worried about. The Sichuan army's great victory in Jingnan would definitely touch Liu Biao. After the battle in Luoying Valley, Liu Biao would definitely send the Jingbei army south. Although the Sichuan army
Jing, after all, there are only 8,000 people, how can he defend Jingnan, who is a big man, and he doesn't know if the secret strategy he taught Wei Yan, the belly of the fish, is of any use.
Liu Zhang rubbed his temples and said, "Don't rush to sleep now. There is one more thing to do. Is veteran Huang Zhong still lying down?"
Fazheng nodded, hesitated and said, "Master, it's best to be mentally prepared first."
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, understanding what Fa Zheng meant. He was now well-known as a butcher, and a man like Huang Zhong would most likely not join him.
Liu Zhang sighed, "Actually, I don't care much about Huang Zhong. If I have strong generals, I can win the battle. I would have lost to Liu Pan long ago. What I worry about is that if other princes have achieved success like Ye Ye Slope and Luo Ying Valley.
Such a great victory, such as Lingling and Guiyang, will surely fail, and even Changsha will collapse without a fight.
But we have to calculate step by step, conquering the city one city after another. There are so many cities in the Han Dynasty and so many prefectures and counties. How many years and months are we going to fight? And as long as we encounter a big defeat, the areas ruled under my pressure will be defeated.
There will be drastic changes and we will be beyond redemption..."
"Master, you must not have such thoughts." Fazheng interrupted Liu Zhang loudly. He knew how terrible the consequences would be for a person to be hesitant, especially if he, as the lord, doubts himself. "As the saying goes, "Walking"
Only those who remain unchanged on the blade can be a true hero. My lord is determined to transform the world and restore the universe. Even if the world doesn't know it, don't we ourselves know it too? How can my lord be calm and cautious when facing such a great victory? Fazheng believes in my lord.
It will become an eternal hegemony."
After hearing Fazheng's inspiring words, Liu Zhang smiled with relief and said: "Well, as Xiaozhi said, even if thousands of cities and hundreds of counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty do not surrender, I will knock them down one by one."
Liu Zhang and Fazheng walked into Huang Zhong's room. Huang Zhong was lying on the couch covered with bandages. Liu Zhang saw that many of Huang Zhong's bandaged wounds were still bleeding, and said in a deep voice: "How did these people bandage the old general? Give me those military doctors."
Call in."
"No need." Huang Zhong shouted in a long tone, then turned his head and didn't even look at Liu Zhang Fazheng.
Liu Zhang smiled faintly, sat on the other end of the bed, and said in a low voice: "Old General Huang is very brave. Three of the four generals of our Sichuan Army have been injured, but there is nothing we can do to the old general. If we were not trapped in a tight siege, I am afraid that my four generals would have been injured."
The generals are about to fall into the hands of the old general. He is so brave and brave, even compared to Lu Bu back then. Liu Zhang came here specifically to ask the old general to help me. Can the old general agree to Liu Zhang's request?"
"If I don't agree, will the emperor kill me?"
Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "That's right."
"Hahahaha." Huang Zhong suddenly laughed loudly, his body trembled violently, and the blood from the wound burst out again. Huang Zhong laughed several times, turned around and said loudly: "So frankly, although the emperor is cruel and kills all the way, but
I still have the spirit of a hero, and I, Huang Zhong, am no longer unjust when I die at the hands of the emperor's uncle. But before I die, I have three requests."
"General, try your words."
"First, Mr. Liu Pan was very kind to Huang Zhong and asked the emperor's uncle to collect the bodies of Mr. Liu Pan and Chen Qin and erect a monument in Changsha for a proper burial."
"There is no need for General Huang to ask for this. Although I am not a good man or a believer, I also respect heroes. If it were not for the two young masters Liu Pan and Chen Qin who fought in all directions, Jingzhou would not be as prosperous as it is today. I will give them a grand burial, and I will not because of
If they become my enemy, their past achievements will be wiped out. Old General, please tell me your second request."
Huang Zhong lay down on the bed and sighed softly: "I lost my son in my early years, leaving only one daughter named Huang Die. After I passed away, she was left alone and helpless. I also asked the emperor to spare her life and take care of her on my behalf."
.”
Liu Zhang was silent for a while and said calmly: "If the old general believes me."
"Uncle Huang is angry in his heart." Although Huang Zhong didn't see Liu Zhang's expression, he could hear it.
Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "One thing is that I won't care about the old general who is about to die."
"I really want to hear it."
Liu Zhang's expression changed, and he exhaled a long breath and said: "I just don't understand where the old general's sentence asking me to spare her life comes from. Is the old general so sure that I will kill your daughter? But forget it, I believe it.
Now everyone in the world thinks that I, Liu Zhang, kills everyone on sight, not least General Huang, so let me make my third request."
"The third request is that if the emperor captures Changsha, he will spare the people of Changsha and not slaughter them all like Wuling. Changsha has been in chaos for two years, and the people should not have to suffer the pain of separation again."
Liu Zhang was silent for a while and said: "The old general is full of benevolence and righteousness, and I, Liu Zhang, admire him very much, but I cannot agree to your request. I am never sure who to kill, but when the time comes, I know who to kill, and I am not subject to anyone."
about."
"Hahahaha." Huang Zhong laughed again, coughed a few times, and said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Huang refused to deceive me, a dying person. Huang Zhong is very grateful, but I am very curious. What Uncle Huang said
Who should be killed? Is the emperor sure that the people he killed are all the people who deserve to be killed?"
"With all due respect." Liu Zhang said coldly: "I explained some issues to the old general, but the old general may not be able to understand. I will only tell the general that if you think you should not kill them, as long as they meet my purpose, I will
I think he deserves to be killed."
