"This will shake the foundation of our rest and recuperation."
As soon as Fazheng finished speaking, his heart suddenly jumped. Based on his understanding of Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang would not simply retreat and attack. Just like the battle of Fucheng, he apparently wanted to risk his life to survive, but in fact Liu Zhang was already prepared to turn defeat into victory.
The chess piece, Huang Quan's Dongzhou soldiers hid it from everyone.
But this time, Fazheng suddenly remembered the barbarian army Liu Zhang had left in Jiange, a force unknown to the Xiliang army.
If the Sichuan army is defeated and retreats to the Jinniu Road, the supplies of the Xiliang army are far away, and the barbarian army unexpectedly attacks the rear of the Xiliang army...
"Hahaha." Liu Zhang looked at Fazheng and chuckled softly: "Isn't this right? If we stick to Yangping Pass and there are endless troubles from the north, we will be shaken to the foundation of rest and recuperation. If we lose once, it will also shake the foundation of recuperation and recuperation.
The foundation, one is harsher and the other is gentler, what is the actual difference?"
"Lord." Fa Zheng said: "If the battle is really defeated in half a month, I'm afraid my lord will not mobilize the entire state to counterattack, but will mobilize the barbarian army to surprise the rear of the Xiliang army, right?"
Liu Zhang looked at Fazheng and smiled faintly: "I know you can tell, and I don't want to hide it from anyone, but this battle is too important, and it is our only chance."
After Fazheng knew that Liu Zhang was not really planning a decisive battle, he felt reassured and pulled a chair over to sit down. He frowned and said, "Let me guess what the lord is thinking. The lord wants to wait until we are defeated and withdraw to the Golden Bull Road."
Set up defenses, and then send out barbarian troops to cut off the Xiliang army's retreat.
Ma Chao led the Xiliang army to advance in a straight line and even defeated Mutai, Shangguan, Tielong and other dangerous passes. However, he did not guard the dangerous passes and drove directly to Yangping Pass. Even if the barbarian army made a sneak attack and the Xiliang army suffered few casualties, they could still defend the dangerous passes.
The Xiliang army is stuck at Yangping Pass, unable to advance or retreat, and can only be defeated. My lord's battle is becoming more and more unfathomable."
Liu Zhang waved his hands and took a breath and said: "This is indeed my plan, but the decisive battle in half a month must be fought, and it must be fought well. This is why I did not tell the generals. I do not doubt these people's plans.
Loyalty means being afraid that they will know there is a way out but will not do anything.
If we deliberately retreat in the decisive battle and are discovered by the Xiliang army, everything will be in vain. Moreover, I don’t think we must retreat. We retreated from Yangping Pass in defeat. With the bravery of the Xiliang army, we lost the support of the pass. I don’t know how many people will be hunted down.
, these are all difficult to estimate.
In order to hide from the Xiliang Army, and to possibly defeat the Xiliang Army outside Yangping Pass and reduce losses, we must fight this battle well."
"Master, are you prepared with both hands?"
"No, it's the first hand. People will relax when they have a way out, so we shouldn't think about the way out before we are defeated."
"But." Fazheng frowned and said, "The disparity between the two sides is so huge, the chances of winning are still slim."
Liu Zhang rapped his knuckles on the armrest of the chair and sighed softly: "If we can persuade the Tsing Yi Qiang to rebel, our chances will be greatly increased. But we have no one to contact, and the Tsing Yi Qiang will not trust us in such a short period of time."
Fazheng also frowned. This should be his own negligence. Since the lord decided to attack Liangzhou long ago, he should have arranged these things. But now the Sichuan army is completely blank about the Qiang and Xiliang people. As a military advisor, this is
Incompetent.
"Report." A soldier came to report: "Lord, General Yang Ren arranged for the people to go to Nanzheng, but many people were sick and could not leave. General Yang asked the young man to come and ask for instructions from the lord."
"Sick?" Liu Zhang looked at the soldiers and said, "The weather in late autumn is hot and cold, so it is indeed easy to get sick."
Liu Zhang stood up and said to Fa Zheng: "Xiao Zhi, the second step I just mentioned is not to make any plans for the time being. If you risk your life, you won't be able to use it in future generations. Otherwise, it is very likely that the lie will become true."
"I understand that I will make every effort to prepare for the decisive battle in half a month."
Liu Zhang nodded, and the soldiers led the way to the gathering place of the people. The soldiers built a wooden fence around Yangping Pass. Because it didn't rain and there were no shelters, the people slept in the open air with their burdens on their heads.
, the autumn wind blows, and it is desolate.
Many people's faces were sallow and their breath was dying. It seemed that they had not eaten for a long time and were sick again. The relatives who were taking care of them fed them little by little the gruel given by the Sichuan army.
Yang Ren was loudly preaching to the people: "Folks, it's not that our Sichuan Army doesn't want to take you in, it's actually that there's a war going on in Yangping Pass right now.
You have also seen the Xiliang horse bandits. How many villagers have been trampled to death in the daytime? It is inhumane. You should leave here quickly to avoid being massacred by the Xiliang horse bandits. As long as you arrive in Nanzheng, I will represent Yizhou Shepherd Liu Huangshu to everyone.
Guaranteed, you will be allocated land, you will be allocated pre-harvest rations, and you will be able to settle down and settle down."
The common people looked at Yang Ren dully, but Yang Ren had no choice but to call the soldiers in to force him away. A woman in her forties suddenly crawled over to her on her knees and grabbed Yang Ren's trouser leg.
"General, just do it. My child just had a high fever. How can we go to Nanzheng? Just let us stay here for two days. When the child gets better, I will take him away immediately. Please,
General."
The woman said and kowtowed to Yang Ren.
"Yes, please General."
Other relatives of the patients also knelt down to beg for help, and Yang Ren became embarrassed. At this time, Liu Zhang walked in, and Yang Ren immediately saluted: "My lord."
Liu Zhang glanced at the sick people, looked at them and said to Yang Ren: "Let them live here. If you let them go now, won't you let them die?"
"Lord." Fa Zheng and Yang Ren looked at Liu Zhang with some anxiety in their eyes. Yang Ren could not bear to drive away these people. He just had to do it. There were so many injured people in the Sichuan army, and the military doctors were overwhelmed.
He was sent back to Nanzheng, let alone come to heal these people.
There will be a decisive battle in fifteen days. If the wounded cannot be recovered, 40,000 people may not be able to gather together.
Moreover, people are suffering from diseases and gather together. What if the disease is infected?
The people all looked at Liu Zhang expectantly. The woman looked up and saw Liu Zhang. Knowing that Liu Zhang was senior to Yang Renguan, she was afraid that Liu Zhang would regret it, so she immediately knelt down to Liu Zhang and kept kowtowing.
"Thank you General, thank you General."
Liu Zhang helped the woman up with his own hands and comforted her a few words. The woman was inexplicably moved and went to take care of the child. At the back of the people, two women buried their heads and were dirty. A woman in green heard Liu Zhang speak.
, raised her eyelids and saw him lifting the dirty woman up with his own hands, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and a complicated expression flashed across her eyes.
Under Liu Zhang's order, the soldiers took the common people with fevers for isolation and treatment. The common people could understand. Seeing the common people with pale faces and soft bodies being taken away one by one, Liu Zhang turned to Yang Ren and lowered his voice: "Tell Aguda,
All executed."
Yang Ren's eyes suddenly opened.
Liu Zhang had turned around and walked towards other people. At this moment, he felt calm. These people had traveled long distances and were seriously ill. Going to Nanzheng would mean death. Staying here without medical treatment would mean death.
When medicines were scarce, Liu Zhang would naturally choose soldiers. In the first battle of Yangping Pass, the Sichuan Army had more than 20,000 wounded. This would consume countless medicinal materials. How could they be allocated to treat these people?
However, if we rush directly to Nanzheng, the relatives of these people will die on the way, which will not only increase the hatred against the Sichuan army, but also reduce the number of refugees coming from Guanzhong in the future.
Since the people are at risk of death, why can't they preserve the image of the Sichuan Army? It sounds cruel, but it is the law of troubled times. Liu Zhang is a prince and can only choose to maximize his interests.
Liu Zhang felt a little guilty in his heart, and expressed condolences to the people one by one. When he saw an old man's porridge in his bowl was too thin, he even cursed the general in charge. The people all looked at Liu Zhang with emotion, feeling like they had met their relatives.
Even though this is a world of aristocratic clans. Public opinion is controlled by the aristocratic clans, but the support of ordinary people in Jingyi for Liu Zhang and Fan Lixiang has spread. The people in Guanzhong have long heard the sixteen-character proverb: "The Red Emperor is reincarnated and destined to be the king."
.The red star descends to earth to save the common people."
They also came to Bashu with the mentality of taking a gamble. They just hoped that they could avoid the war and live a stable life. Although they encountered war as soon as they arrived at Yangping Pass and countless companions died tragically, at this moment, they still felt that they had come to the right place.
.
Liu Zhang walked to the end and passed by two women. He suddenly looked back and saw that they were Ma Yunlu and Guan Yinping. The road was narrow and they were carried into Yangping Pass by the people. They were afraid of being recognized, so they deliberately soiled their clothes.
With his head buried deeply, he felt Liu Zhang's gaze, and his heart beat loudly.
Ma Yunlu was afraid that Liu Zhang would kill him if he knew his identity, but Guan Yinping had no idea what he was afraid of.
She is the daughter of Guan Yu, and Liu Bei has not offended Liu Zhang. Even if Liu Zhang knew her identity, he would not embarrass a woman like him.
"Which one of you is sick? Or are you all sick?"
Liu Zhang looked at Guan Yinping and Ma Yunlu and asked with concern. Everyone else was taken care of by their relatives, but these two women of similar age seemed to be alone. Even if they were squatting at the back, they were eye-catching.
"My sister is sick."
"Sister is sick."
The two pointed at each other, glanced at each other, and immediately buried their heads in their crotches.
Liu Zhang shook his head: "If you are not sick, go to Nanzheng. Nothing good will happen if you stay here."
Neither of them spoke. They just pretended to be sick and stayed here because they didn't want to be sent to Nanzheng. Who knew that Liu Zhang with such a distinguished status would come here? The two of them had fought against Liu Zhang so hard that they were both afraid.
Be recognized.
"They all seem to be sick." Liu Zhang ignored the two of them and walked forward.
"Oh, you scared me to death." Ma Yunlu patted his chest: "Isn't Liu Zhang a general of Shu, or an uncle of the emperor? Why are you here? It's like a pigsty."
Guan Yinping burst into laughter, immediately covered her mouth, crossed her hands on her knees, her eyes slowly slipped out of her arms, and took a look at the surrounding environment. It was surrounded by a wooden fence, and the people were locked in. It really looked like
It's a pigsty.
But this world can provide a place to stay and food, which is already good.
"Liu Zhang is a good man. Even my uncle would not come to a place like this. The most he would do is look outside the pig pen." Guan Yinping lowered his head and whispered.
When Guan Yinping recorded this event, it was the time when Emperor Ling died, Dong Zhuo entered the capital, and the world was in chaos. The three brothers Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei struggled to survive in troubled times and traveled north and south, so Guan Yinping also saw many tragic scenes in troubled times.
But in Guan Yinping's memory, except for Liu Bei, there is no prince who loves the people. Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, these people who once dominated, no one cares about the people, but those who care about the people, Tao Qian, Kong Rong, etc.
Lost territory early.
Liu Bei was also displaced.
This made Guan Yinping feel that it was very unfair, and the suffering of the people was visible in his eyes. Guan Yinping hoped that the princes would relieve them from their suffering. In the past, he had placed his hope on Liu Bei, but now when he saw Liu Zhang, hope rose in his heart. After all, Liu Zhang's
The power is much greater than that of Liu Bei.
If such a powerful force can think about the people, it will be a blessing to the people.
"What, are you tempted?" Ma Yunlu said with a naughty smile, and the clear voice reached Guan Yinping's ears. Guan Yinping's face buried in her thighs was embarrassed, and she reached out and pinched Ma Yunlu's legs.
.
"What are you talking about? Don't you think he is very good to the people? We have heard about it before. When there was a flood in Jingzhou, it was the Sichuan Army who did not hesitate to give the general rations to the people. Fan Lixiang, Liu Zhang's general, was loved by everyone.
A female general? He is a master and a minister. If Liu Zhang had not loved the people as his son, there would not have been such a female general."
Ma Yunlu said disdainfully: "After talking so much, haven't you been beaten to a pulp by my brother? No matter how much he loves the people, if he can't defeat the enemy, he will be finished."
"You can't say it like that..." Guan Yinping just said it. Suddenly she couldn't continue. She had also encountered people saying the same thing as Ma Yunlu before. She would always use the words "the benevolent are invincible" or "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hedong".
Hexi and other languages to refute.
But after so much, Tao Qian died, Kong Rong was recalled to the capital, Liu Bei lost Xuzhou twice and was displaced. After experiencing life and death several times, Cao Cao, who was massacred in Xuzhou, occupied the north.
Although Guan Yinping is young, he no longer believes in nonsense like "the benevolent are invincible". Hearing what Ma Yunlu said, Guan Yinping suddenly felt a little sad and glanced at Liu Zhang again. Liu Zhang was talking to an old man who could squeeze butter out of his face.
chat.
Guan Yinping felt hot in her heart. She didn't know why, but she hoped that Liu Zhang would win this battle and Ma Yunlu's brother Ma Chao would lose.
Ma Yunlu didn't know Guan Yinping's thoughts yet. He added: "But Fan Lixiang is my role model. I must become a majestic female general who is respected by all people and feared by the enemy."
Ma Yunlu clenched his fists, his eyes suddenly lit up, he pulled Guan Yinping's thigh, and said excitedly: "Hey, this is an opportunity. We are in the Sichuan Army camp now. If we act as internal agents and let my brother conquer Yangping Pass, I will immediately
I have achieved great success, and when the time comes I have to lead troops to fight, my father and brother will definitely have nothing to say."
"What?" Guan Yinping looked at Ma Yunlu. She disapproved in her heart, but as the daughter of a subordinate and brother of Liu Bei, a close ally of the Xiliang Army, could she refute Ma Yunlu?
At this moment, a woman's "ouch" sound suddenly came out. Guan Yinping looked around and saw two Sichuan Army soldiers who were about to carry a female patient away. Maybe the woman had fallen asleep just now or something, and was taken away by the soldiers.
As soon as she moved, she screamed, and the frightened soldiers quickly put her down.
Liu Zhang walked over and took a closer look. The sober woman also stared at Liu Zhang. The woman was dirty and her face was covered with dirt. She was dirtier than Guan Yinping and Ma Yunlu combined, but when she opened her eyes
, including Fazheng who was behind Liu Zhang, were stunned.
This pair of eyes is so alluring, crystal clear, flashing like the soft sunlight filtering through the green leaves of a deep forest.
Liu Zhang had only experienced such a look in Huang Yueying's eyes, but Huang Yueying's eyes had an extra layer of wisdom and depth that made people unable to help but feel drawn into them.
But the woman in front of her is more charming and beautiful. Even these eyes, even if they are as ugly as Huang Yueying, are still charming enough, because as long as people see these eyes, they will not look at other parts of her.
Suddenly seeing such a special single woman in the refugee camp was so unexpected that Liu Zhang's head was confused. It took him a long time to react. He closed his eyes, changed direction, opened them again, and then avoided the woman's eyes.
Looking elsewhere, he stood up and said to the soldier: "This woman is not sick, but has a trauma. Call a military doctor to bandage her and send her to the wounded barracks."
During the whole process, Liu Zhang had been avoiding the woman's gaze. The woman probably felt it. She drooped her eyelids, and the look in her eyes dimmed instantly. She looked just a little more beautiful than other women, with a touch of sadness.
After a while, a military doctor came over with medicine, but he was in trouble. He was a military doctor and he treated soldiers. He didn't think about it when he came, but now he was facing a young girl in her prime.
, the whole body is covered with injuries, and important parts are not spared. How do you start?
Just when he was about to touch the woman without hesitation, the woman immediately shrank back, causing wounds on her body. She bit her lips tightly with silver teeth, stared at the military doctor in fear, and then looked at Liu Zhang for help.
"Lord." The military doctor stood up and said awkwardly: "Lord, this girl won't cooperate. I can't apply medicine and bandage. I need a woman who knows a little bit about medicine."
"Where can I find a woman who understands medical science for you at this time?" Liu Zhang glanced at the military doctor and expressed this meaning with his eyes. He then looked at the woman. Seeing that the woman was seriously injured, he wanted to persuade the woman to obey the authority urgently. At this time, a
The voice came.
"Let me take a look."
It was Guan Yinping. Guan Yinping stood up from the ground. Ma Yunlu grabbed her arm and said urgently: "Sister."
Guan Yinping released Ma Yunlu's hand, walked straight over, bowed to Liu Zhang, and said to the military doctor: "Doctor, this little girl knows some basic trauma medicine. I wonder if I can help the doctor."
"Of course you can. As long as the rotten flesh from the wound can be removed and the wound is evenly bandaged with medicine, it will be fine."
The soldier pulled a piece of cloth to cover it, and the doctor and Guan Yinping carefully bandaged the woman together. Liu Zhang continued to visit the other patients, and said to Fa Zheng in a low voice: "Sir, this woman is very delicate. She is injured like that. We can save her."
Even though her father was a very good person, she still picked three and practiced four, but she didn’t expect that the master would still obey."
Fazheng was very disgusted with the word "girly". It was like a precious and beautiful mural with profound artistic conception. Someone said: "Such a piece of tattered paper is not even enough to light a cigarette."
"What do you know? That woman is not simple."
