"Yang Song is greedy for money. He is very greedy. If we bribe him a lot of money, he will definitely be tempted. What's more, his brother Yang Bai died in the battle this time. Although it was not Zhang Wei's fault, it happened when Zhang Wei was commanding the army. Yang Song will definitely be angry with Zhang Wei.
After weighing the two aspects, I think Yang Song can not only help us conquer Dingjun Mountain, but also help us capture Nanzheng."
When Liu Zhang listened to Fazheng's words, he thought that Yang Song was indeed a well-known money-grubber. When Ma Chao attacked Jiameng, he took Liu Bei's money and sold it to Ma Chao. When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he took Cao Cao's money and sold it to Zhang Lu.
, this guy is typically greedy for money, who can he use instead of him?
"Okay, let's go back to camp and formulate a specific strategy."
Liu Zhang returned to the camp and asked Fazheng to draft a letter of friendship, attach a large amount of money and silk, and asked the envoy to take it to Nanzheng. It was amazing to see boxes of gold, silver, jewels and jade being carried away. The boss was so angry that he could not bear it for a month.
It's only a few hundred pennies, and these few boxes are enough to provide me with a salary for several lifetimes.
Fazheng patted Haoshuo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Everything you can buy is cheap. Isn't it worth it if these boxes of treasure can be exchanged for a Hanzhong? What's more." Fazheng said with a bad smile: "We took Nan
Zheng, can you still take back these treasures?"
"Hey hey hey." He was so awesome and happy.
At this moment, a soldier came into the tent and said, "Lord, a letter from Chengdu."
"What, a letter from Chengdu?" Liu Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened in Chengdu? He opened the letter and asked, "Wang Fu or Huang Quan?"
"It's Zhou Buyi, the boy fostered by the lord."
"Zhou Buyi?"
The generals looked at each other. Zhou Buyi was famous among the four imperial examination officials and was famous all over the world. These generals all knew each other. Leng Bao said: "Zhou Buyi is known as a prodigy, but we are about to capture Hanzhong, so we only sent him at this time."
Is it a little late for the letter?"
"That's right, a typical hindsight." Gao Pei and other generals agreed.
Only Fazheng frowned. Liu Zhang read the letter for a while and suddenly shouted: "Quickly, go and recall the envoy, Roubaozi is going to beat the dog."
Several soldiers were stunned and were about to chase them away when Liu Zhang raised his head and shouted: "Forget it, forget it, no need to chase." After Liu Zhang shouted, he realized that he had lost his composure.
Liu Zhang's strange behavior suddenly aroused the curiosity of the generals. Fazheng asked in a low voice: "My lord, what is written in Zhou Buyi's letter?"
Liu Zhang handed the letter to Fazheng, with anger on his face, and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, I was tricked by Zhou Buyi."
Fazheng took the letter and read it, his brows furrowing more and more as he read it.
"Zhou Buyi paid homage to Master Zhou Mu. Since Busuo is not a civil servant or general in Yizhou, this letter was sent ten days ago. However, I believe that now your master has achieved a great victory in the first battle and is advancing with great success, heading straight into Nanzheng.
So, congratulations to you sir.
Without further ado, I have a plan for your lord to take Nanzheng. But before that, let me tell you about your current situation. Nanzheng is surrounded by mountains on one side and faces water on the other. It is flat land to the west and north. The Sichuan army comes from the west.
Come, there are two ways to go, one is to cross Mianshui River by force, the other is to cross Dingjun Mountain. Zhang Lu was defeated in the first battle. It is absolutely impossible to send heavy troops to guard Mianshui. He can only garrison Dingjun Mountain. Sir, you should be there.
At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, look at Nanzheng in the distance.
Your Excellency may be worried about whether to attack Dingjun Mountain first or Nanzheng first, but I have no doubt to tell you that neither strategy is feasible unless the lord is willing to stay in Hanzhong for more than half a year. Dingjun Mountain is extremely dangerous, so even if you can lure him
If Hanzhong troops are sent out, the remaining troops after the victory will not be able to attack Nanzheng.
And attacking Nanzheng was even more wishful thinking. Zhang Lu converted the people with religion. In addition to his army, there were hundreds of thousands of people. Moreover, the adults were enemies of the noble families. Zhang Lu had almost endless money and food.
Speaking of this, I have to mention one person. Maybe your Excellency has already thought of it and even sent someone to send money to him. That is the leader of the Nanzheng family, the corrupt villain Yang Song. But I have no doubt to tell you, you send money to
Yang Song, that is throwing gold into the river.
Yang Song is the leader of the largest wealthy clan in Hanzhong. No matter how greedy he is for money, he cannot betray his entire clan for a few boxes of treasures. Yang Song will definitely use his plan to defeat you at the gate of Nanzheng City. You should have thought of this result when you slaughtered Jiangzhou with blood.
.
Maybe you are regretting it when you see this, but sending money to Yang Song may not be useless. He can use his plan, and you can also use it again. You don't have to feel sorry for those boxes of treasures. This is about my strategy.
The strategy is divided into five steps. First, do not go down to Dingjun Mountain, but only hold the mountain pass to contain Nanzheng's troops, creating the illusion that Nanzheng Dingjun Mountain is closely connected and has a solid defense.
Secondly, Yang Song will follow his plan and promise to cooperate with you internally and externally. He will set up an ambush at the city gate when the time comes. You can make an appointment with him to raise a fire at the west gate as a signal on the night of ten days.
Third, spread the truth about how Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu, the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, exaggerate his despicability and filthiness, and use the banner of revenge for Zhang Xiu. If Zhang Lu governs the people with his teachings, the people's hearts will inevitably be unstable, at least there will not be so many people.
To cooperate with Zhang Lu in defending the city, you can also ask Yang Song to cooperate in spreading the news. For the sake of the big plan ten days later, Yang Song will definitely give in to you.
Fourth, the troops in Nanzheng are weak. In order to set up an ambush for you, Yang Song will definitely use all the troops in the city to defend the west city. You can dispatch the Wuxi barbarian army to go up the mountain, raise the banner of General Zhang Ren and the Qiang people, and raid Nanzheng in ten days.
To the east of Zheng, you can go down with a drum.
Your Excellency may be worried that Wuxi Barbarians are thousands of miles away and the deployment and march will take a long time, but congratulations to Your Excellency, Miss Xiao Furong has led at least two thousand barbarian soldiers up the Dianjiang River and arrived at Yuwei Pass. All you need to do is send fast horses to help.
After passing the customs documents, Miss Xiao will definitely be able to launch a surprise attack within ten days.
Fifth, you can take advantage of these ten days to visit the Han River and collect water. Zhang Lu was defeated in the first battle, so he must have asked Shangyong and Shendan for help. Shendan is a wealthy family in Shangyong, and he is afraid that your Majesty will take Hanzhong and go down to Shangyong.
We must go up the Han River to rescue Zhang Lu. I estimate that we should arrive in about ten days. Your Excellency, please release water to send them back to Shangyong..."
After Fazheng read the letter, he remained silent for a long time and sighed for a long time: "Zhou Busuo is a genius, I am not as good as me."
"Does Xiaozhi think Zhou Buji's strategy is feasible?" Liu Zhang asked.
"Nine out of ten are sure." Fazheng said with certainty: "Zhou Buyi took Hanzhong's people's support, terrain, weather, and foreign aid into consideration. His strategies were closely linked and there were no flaws. The most important thing is that we are in Zhang Lu, Yang Song
When he thought they were sure to win, he launched a fatal blow and Zhang Lu was bound to be defeated."
"If such a genius could be brought under his command, it would save a lot of effort to unify the world, but I can't do it."
Liu Zhang sighed. If he had known that Cao Cao could not play with Zhou Buji in history and dared to hand over Sima Yi to Cao Pi, but did not dare to keep Zhou Buji, maybe he would not have such a sigh.
"But when it comes to Miss Xiao's surprise attack, Fazheng would like to make some small changes." Fazheng said hesitantly.
"There is no need to be timid. No matter how powerful Zhou Buji is, we still have to complete the great task ourselves. If you have any ideas, just say it and don't be influenced by him."
