Chapter 316: Grief and Indignation
Zhang Yan was very happy when he saw that the bandits in Jizhou were all instigated by himself.
At the same time, a large number of bandits and grass bandits contacted Zhang Yan, hoping that Zhang Yan could lead them to form a force and achieve common prosperity.
Zhang Yan didn't dare to decide, and fed back this information to Tian Feng.
Of course, Tian Feng didn't dare to call the shots for such a big matter, and used the fast transmission channel of the "dark department" to hand over this information to Liu Yu for decision.
Liu Yu didn't expect that the bandits and grass bandits in this era would have such a mind, and they also knew how to set up an organization to protect their rights.
The bandits are all strong laborers, and they are all unable to pass before they fall into the grass, as long as the operation is done properly, they will recruit security in the future, but they are all good soldiers. Moreover, the bandits and grass bandits in Jizhou have become a group, so it will definitely cause huge trouble to Yuan Shao, and Liu Yu certainly agreed to such a thing that harms people and profits.
With a wave of his hand, Liu Yu agreed to Zhang Yan becoming the leader of the bandit group.
Zhang Yan felt that it was impossible for Liu Yu to agree, but in the end, she waited for Liu Yu's answer. Zhang Yan felt Liu Yu's trust in him, and happily became the chief leader of the Jizhou Thief Group.
Under the guidance of Zhang Yan, the organized bandits and grass bandits became more orderly and more aggressive, making Jizhou chaotic.
Yuan Shao didn't know what to do, as if overnight, the entire Jizhou had become a paradise for bandits and grass bandits.
Yuan Shao tried his best to extinguish the thieves in Jizhou, but the thieves kept contacting all parties, and each time they avoided Yuan Shao's extermination, so that Yuan Shao returned in vain.
Yuan Shao's plan was already over before it even began.
Even Yuan Shao himself couldn't figure it out, and could only attribute it to his luck that hadn't arrived yet.
After receiving this information, Liu Yu secretly gave Guo Tu a credit, and without Guo Tu's ventilation message, Liu Yu would not be able to quickly make such a response. Liu Yu originally planned to defeat Yuan Shao in the future, and then did Guo Tu easily, but now that Guo Tu has made such a big contribution, Liu Yu is really embarrassed to do it.
"This king is still too kind." Liu Yu sighed, he decided to leave Guo Tu with a dog's life in the future.
The corners of their mouths twitched at the corners of their mouths, their lords didn't know what was going on recently, and they often talked to themselves with emotion, which made them a little speechless.
"Lord, our army is only fifty miles away from Shangyong, if it is late today, do you want to let the soldiers rest for one night?" Frustrated asked.
Liu Yu was disturbed by frustration, walked out of his inner world, thought that he didn't know the situation on Zhang Liao's side now, and asked, "How is the progress on Wenyuan's side." Why has there been no news for so long? ”
Chen Gong replied: "My lord, General Zhang has already arrived at Pingyang Pass, and Zhang Lu sent his brother Zhang Wei as a guard general to start a confrontation with General Zhang. This is the battle report that General Zhang has just sent through the shadows. ”
Liu Yu took it, glanced at it and said: "The barrier in Hanzhong is this Pingyang Pass, and it is understandable that Wen Yuan could not take it for a while. Our army must speed up. The king ordered the whole army to speed up the march and be sure to rush to Shangyong City tonight. ”
"Yes!" The crowd hurried to give the order.
Liu Yu's troops increased their march. Compared with the troops of other princes, Liu Yu's army was definitely ahead in terms of orders and prohibitions.
Through a rapid march, Liu Yu's troops came to a place less than ten miles away from Shangyong City, and Liu Yu found a flat place near the mountain and river to camp for safety.
Zhang Lu was in Shangyong City, and he was clear about Liu Yu's marching route. But Zhang Lu didn't dare to send troops to stop it, so Liu Yu's advance speed would be so fast.
Why didn't Zhang Lu send troops? Because Zhang Lu is afraid. Liu Yu is notoriously ruthless to the enemy, if he sends an army to block it, and one accidentally hurts Liu Yu, according to Liu Yu's character, even if he surrenders in the end, there will be no good fruit to eat. Another point is that Zhang Lu's troops were not many in the first place, and now several soldiers and horses are going to crusade against him, so that his only troops have become very scarce. Because Liu Yu seized Guanzhong early, the people of Guanzhong lived and worked in peace and contentment, and not many people were willing to leave their homeland, resulting in Hanzhong not having as many people as in history.
If Zhang Lu hadn't been strong enough in religion, I'm afraid that the people of Hanzhong would have slowly lost their lives.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Lu could only use religious beliefs to organize the people, and mobilized a large number of people to join the army. So that Zhang Lu can barely cope with the attacks from all sides.
Liu Yu's troops were the strongest of all the forces that crusaded against Zhang Lu. There was no need for Zhang Lu to block Liu Yu, and he wasted his limited forces in vain.
Now Zhang Lu found that Liu Yu's army was coming, and the crisis was already in front of him. Zhang Lu's heart was very frightened.
Zhang Lu stood on the city wall and looked at the brightly lit military camp in the distance, and his heart was cold.
"How did I be blinded by lard at that time, and I wanted to take this hellish place." Zhang Lu said sadly and indignantly.
Yes, Zhang Lu regretted it. If he hadn't wanted to take advantage of himself and realize his ambitions, he wouldn't have fallen to the point where he is now.
Now Zhang Lu can't withdraw his troops if he wants to, as long as he retreats, Liu Yu will pounce on him, let alone flee back to Hanzhong at that time, it is still difficult to say that he can save his life in Liu Yu's pursuit.
Even if he escapes back to Hanzhong, Liu Yu will not let go of Zhang Lu now. Zhang Lu's Hanzhong is so rich, such a big piece of fat, no one will let go, not to mention that Liu Yudu is very close to this piece of fat, there is no reason not to continue.
"One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds! Liu Yu, you are ruthless! I Zhang Lu didn't expect you to be so thick-skinned! What do I have to do with you attacking Liu Biao? You actually have such a good righteousness to help him, why did you go before. Zhang Lu slapped the city wall angrily and kept scolding Liu Yu.
The soldiers next to Zhang Lu all showed surprised eyes when they looked at the usually unfathomable lord who had such a gaffe.
Zhang Lu, who was focused on scolding Liu Yu, didn't notice this situation at all.
Zhang Lu made his fortune by religion, and his subordinates also used this kind of routine to entrap them, if Liu Yu's army destroyed their faith with their strong strength, God knows what these fooled people would do, and it was very likely that they would directly kill Zhang Lu to vent their anger.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but look left and right, and after finding that they were all his most trusted personal soldiers, Zhang Lu was relieved.
"You can only take one step at a time." Zhang Lu sighed and walked down the city wall silently, if you pay attention, you will find that Zhang Lu's waist seems to be bent a lot.
