Eight hundred and fifty-two Zheng Du's stratagem

After receiving the military supplies of the Shu army, the soldiers of the Wei army were very happy to eat and drink, and then marched to Chengdu with more vigor.

Liu Zhang's brain was so frightened that his brain went blank, and the whole of Chengdu was in chaos, and he no longer had the heart to support the front line.

The front line was over, the resisting generals were dead, the Wei army marched all the way west without encountering any resistance, and the Shu Han regime was about to end.

As soon as the situation that the main war faction struggled to maintain collapsed, the suppressed main faction in the regime immediately raised its head.

They flocked to Liu Zhang's palace, kneeling and crying and begging Liu Zhang to give up resistance and surrender to the Wei army, saying that the main war would harm the country, and if they continued to fight, the entire people of Yizhou would be slaughtered by the Wei people.

At this time, the main battle faction no longer has the confidence and bargaining chips that can be used to fight against the main surrender faction.

They could no longer persuade Liu Zhang to continue resisting.

Because in addition to the 5,000 Chengdu garrison, Liu Zhang has no other mobile forces in his hands, and the last army that can be mobilized is in Nanzhong, which is the guardian army of his years of crusade against Nanzhong, which is generally immobile.

So if he fights again, even the cooks in Chengdu will be dragged to the battlefield to fight the Wei army, and the eunuchs around him will go to the battlefield if they don't do it well.

This is something they can't accept.

Liu Zhang hid in the deep palace and kept crying, praying to the heavens that it was not true, that it was a nightmare.

Soon he will wake up from a dream, and Yan Yan will write to him to tell him that he has repelled the Wei army, and Wu Yi and Zhang Ren will also bring good news that the Wei army has withdrawn.

But Liu Zhang didn't wake up, because he didn't sleep at all, this is the reality.

Liu Zhang's psychological defense line is shaky, most of the main battle faction is silent in self-doubt, and at this moment, there are not many people trying to turn the tide.

Zhang Su, the Chengdu county commander promoted by Liu Zhang, is one.

He has no talent, but as Liu Zhang's former official, he has to put on a posture to stand on the same front as Liu Zhang no matter what.

So he met with Liu Zhang and made his suggestions to Liu Zhang.

"The Wei people came from afar, they seem to be powerful, but in fact they are in danger, Your Majesty should send a capable general to lead an elite army into the rear of the Wei army, attack their grain routes, and cut off their grain routes, then the advancing Wei army will inevitably retreat, and Chengdu will be safe."

This kind of trick that is decent and has no characteristics and no use, Liu Zhang can come up with it himself, and Zhang Su can say it, which is already a sign of loyalty.

Can anyone say it, but do it?

What kind of general is considered a capable general?

What kind of soldier is considered a good soldier?

How much is one?

How to insert into the rear of the Wei army?

How to attack the grain road?

Which way to go?

How much food to carry?

What if they are defeated by the Wei army's army guarding the grain road?

These are not things that Zhang Su will consider, he is only responsible for bringing them up, and that's it.

Liu Zhang thanked Zhang Su for his loyalty, and then rejected Zhang Su's suggestion.

"Zhang Qing's heart, Lone has already understood, but this matter is very important, and you can't make a decision so simply, Lone will consider it."

"Your Majesty......"

"Zhang Qing, you go."

Liu Zhang waved his hand and asked Zhang Su to leave.

Zhang Su wanted to persuade again, but looking at Liu Zhang's expression, he could only reluctantly retreat.

When he returned home, Zhang Song happened to come to see Zhang Su, and the two brothers felt that the future was not good.

"Brother, Your Majesty doesn't need your strategy is already a statement, and in my opinion, Your Majesty doesn't want to continue fighting."

Zhang Song pondered and gave his own opinion.

Military ability and political ability are two kinds of ability, the military ability of the Zhang brothers is basically equal to nothing, but the political ability is still there, and a little analysis can be analyzed.

"I can also see that His Majesty seems to be a little disheartened, but this is ...... Ziqiao, do you think it's really okay? Does Your Majesty want to surrender Guo Zifeng? ”

"It seems extraordinary, but in fact, brother, we can make plans earlier."

Zhang Song shook his head: "Your Majesty is disheartened, the next situation is uncertain, we must find our own way." ”

Zhang Su was very confused about this.

"Our own way? Ziqiao, are you going to betray Your Majesty for your brother? ”

"Brother, it was Your Majesty who betrayed Your Majesty himself, Your Majesty himself found a way to live for himself, he will definitely live, and what about us? Has His Majesty ever thought of those of us who followed him in the resistance? When the time comes, Your Majesty doesn't care about his own birthday, what should we do? ”

Zhang Song asked Zhang Su rhetorically, and Zhang Su had nothing to say.

"If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, if you don't prepare early, then Xu Jing's old man will bite back in front of the Wei people, and we will be finished!"

Zhang Song looked at Zhang Su with a nervous face, and after Zhang Su panicked for a while, he looked at Zhang Song helplessly.

"Ziqiao, that ...... So what do we do? ”

"Brother, don't panic, let's know Your Majesty's intentions early, know early, arrange early, there is no endless road, there must be a way for our family to survive!"

Zhang Song rolled his eyes and began to think about countermeasures.

Think of some countermeasures that would allow their family to survive after Wei ruled Yizhou.

Zhang Su made a statement here, and Zheng Du, who was engaged in Liu Zhang's side, also chose to speak.

Zheng Du is a native of Guanghan County, but also a native of Shuzhong, promoted by Liu Zhang in the past, loyal to Liu Zhang, when the ministers were in decline, Zheng Du went against the current, entered the palace to Liu Zhang to retreat from the enemy.

Like Zhang Su, as a former official personally promoted by Liu Zhang, Zheng Du had to make his position clear and stick to his integrity until the last moment.

Liu Zhang naturally chose to meet Zheng Du, and Zheng Du told his strategy.

It turned out that Zheng Du thought that Liu Zhang still had 5,000 troops in his hands, and although Jiangzhou was lost, Liu Zhang was not without the strength to fight back.

The army of the Sword Pavilion in front is holding on, and it is still blocking the Wei army, the Chengdu Plain has not all fallen, and the Wei army has only one army into Shuzhong, and everything still has a chance to recover, so it is recommended that Liu Zhang act immediately.

He suggested that Liu Zhang implement the plan of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness.

Compared with Zhang Su's concept that it is fundamentally difficult to implement, Zheng Du's ideas are much more practical, and there are suggestions on implementation steps and how to do it.

Zheng Du believes that Chengdu can send the army out of the country, and mobilize officials from all over the country to relocate as many residents as possible from Jiangzhou to Chengdu in the vicinity, so that all the population and materials can be moved.

The Wei army relied on the waterway to transport grain and advance on the waterway, so they set up iron cables on both sides of the waterway to lock the waterway and create trouble for them.

Then they destroy roads, destroy bridges, poison, block, or defile wells, and set traps on key thoroughfares.

In this way, it will be able to greatly slow down the advance of the Wei army, and not only that, but it will also make it impossible for the Wei army to feed the war with war, and it will not be able to get any food supplements, and it must rely on the rear for transshipment.

And from Jingzhou to Chengdu more than a thousand miles of road, the Wei army's logistical pressure is extremely great, the plan to clear the wall will inevitably work, the Wei army has to pay a huge price for every step forward, whether they can bear it is still unknown, at that time, it is Liu Zhang's opportunity.

Sending troops to garrison everywhere, small groups of small movements, can also lurk in the rear of the Wei army, and destroy the Wei army's post stations and grain ships along the waterway.

Attack the Wei army's grain transport team from time to time, but do not entangle, fight when you have the opportunity, and run away if you don't have the opportunity, which can shake the heart of the Wei army and force the Wei army to retreat sooner or later.

At that time, Liu Zhang can send troops to pursue, and he will definitely have great gains, and if he continues to pursue, he may be able to expel the Wei army from Shuzhong and restore the pre-war state.

To be honest, Liu Zhang was dumbfounded.
