Chapter 572, The Great Battle 5
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was half-lying on his couch, while the two maids warmed the wine for him and put the peeled shrimp in his mouth. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
As soon as Tang Sai'er came in, Zhang Xianzhong opened his eyes and asked coldly, "How is it?" Did you tell the truth? Tang Sai'er smiled: "Of course, I am the best at this kind of thing." Zhang Xianzhong said: "Li Yan came from Zuo Liangyu, what is his secret mission?" Tang Sai'er said: "He wants to convince you to attack Zuo Liangyu." β
Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "As soon as you talk about empty words, will Lao Tzu have to go to war?" King Qin thinks I'm an idiot. Even if he is an idiot, Zhang Yi is not. Li Yan couldn't have come to see me with these words. β
Tang Sai'er said: "The meaning of the King of Qin, if he wants to send troops at the same time as us, we will go down the river, and the Qin army will attack from Xinyang, Henan. After defeating Zuo Liangyu and gaining the Wuchang region, the Qin army shared the territory with us equally. β
Zhang Xianzhong nodded: "The idea is good, but the Qin army doesn't have many people in Henan, if you really want to fight, it's not that we will make a big effort, and they will take advantage of it?" Strategist, what do you think? β
Tang Sai'er said: "This matter must not be agreed. Zuo Liangyu already has 100,000 men under his command at this time, and in addition to the men and horses defending Sichuan, we can only mobilize more than 100,000 people. It is not easy to defeat Zuo Liangyu. And I doubt that Li Yan is not representing the Qin army and has some conspiracy with Zuo Liangyu! Once we send out our troops and fall into an ambush, we will suffer a big loss. β
Zhang Xianzhong laughed, pushed away the maid and stood up, and walked to Tang Sai'er's side: "The words of the military advisor are in line with Lao Tzu's mind." We must not send troops. β
Tang Sai'er smiled: "Your Majesty judges like this, I am relieved." It's not early, so let your majesty rest. β
Zhang Xianzhong nodded, watched Tang Sai'er walk out, and then he asked the maid to walk away, and at this time, a person came out of the back hall, it was Pan Duao, the new deputy military division.
Zhang Xianzhong asked, "Sir, what do you think about this matter?" β
Pan Duao said: "Your Majesty has already calculated, why should the minister say more? Zhang Xianzhong waved his hand: "You are prevaricating Lao Tzu, you don't want to offend people." If you don't say it, Lao Tzu will pull you down and give you a hundred lashes. Pan Duao smiled: "In this way, the minister will speak bluntly." For many days, the minister has secretly checked carefully, and Tang Junshi's dissatisfaction with His Majesty has become more and more intense, and His Majesty's attention to the role of the minister has made her even more resentful. At this time, Li Yan's arrival may be a godsend for her. β
Zhang Xianzhong was stunned: "God-given opportunity? What do you mean? Pan Duao said: "A good opportunity to renew the goodwill to the Qin army." Zhang Xianzhong Y had a calm face: "If she shows favor to Qin Jun, why does she want to go against Li Yan?" Don't agree with Li Yan's request? β
Pan Duao said: "This is exactly the cleverness of the military division. Do you think, if Li Yan comes to persuade His Majesty to send troops, and our prime minister strongly agrees, will Your Majesty still send troops? β
Zhang Xianzhong groaned: "Not bad...... If she happily agreed, Lao Tzu would be suspicious. After all, the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary. β
Pan Duao said: "Because of this, the military advisor will oppose Li Yan's request, and as soon as the military advisor opposes, His Majesty is dissatisfied with the military advisor at this time, so he will agree instead." The military advisor is going around the bend to help Li Yan. β
Zhang Xianzhong suddenly realized: "What does Mr. mean ......"
Pan Duao said: "I agree with the opinion of the military advisor, and I will never send troops." Zhang Xianzhong said: "But Zuo Liangyu is blocked on the Yangtze River, and if we don't move him away, we will not be able to move an inch." Pan Duao said: "Then it depends on where Your Majesty wants to develop." β
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Where do you say you are going?" β
Pan Duao said with a smile: "At present, we have several places around Sichuan, one is Huguang, one is Hanzhong, the other is Gansu, Huguang, Zuo Liangyu is a roadblock, and it is not easy to fight. Hanzhong, it's His Majesty's good brother, General Li Kang, who is guarding the town, so of course he can't fight. Gansu is a subordinate of the Qin army, and to fight Gansu is to offend the king of Qin. Therefore, what His Majesty said is difficult to move an inch is also true. β
Zhang Xianzhong said: "After all, I can only touch Zuo Liangyu." In fact, if the Qin army sent troops at the same time this time, it would also be an opportunity. β
Pan Duao said: "The Qin army is in Henan, and the foundation is not strong, this is a fact. Therefore, he wanted to expand his territory and strengthen his strength, but Li Zicheng had always had a good relationship with the Qin army, and it was impossible for the Qin army to tear his face with a strong hand like Li Zicheng for some immediate interests. After all, he had to fight Zuo Liangyu. And I was not sure, so I came to ask Your Majesty to send troops. β
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, this is King Qin's little abacus, it crackles." It's a pity that Lao Tzu also has his own abacus in his heart, so he can't help it. β
Pan Duao said: "Your Majesty, if Li Yan is above the court tomorrow, please send troops, you can excuse yourself and resign, and you must not agree." β
Zhang Xianzhong said: "This is natural. The excuses are. β
Pan Duao said: "That's the best." β
He got up to say goodbye, Zhang Xianzhong sat back on the couch, frowning, and a pair of eyes couldn't stop rolling. His mind was uncertain.
Zhang Xianzhong is loyal to his people, and he doesn't trust those civil officials, in his eyes, these people are scheming, looking at the face, what he really trusts is the rebellious brothers who died with him, but recently these brothers have begun to get a little annoyed. Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are very similar to Luo Rucai's people, and many of them don't have any big ideals, and it is not their dream to be the king and hegemon. The happiness of these people lies in burning and killing Y plundering, killing officials unscrupulously, and burning cities.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was proclaimed emperor in Sichuan, and the place of Sichuan became their own, of course, they could no longer burn the city and kill officials. Therefore, many military camps began to drink heavily and make trouble, and these subordinates killed people and killed people, and if they did not kill people for a few days, their hands would itch.
Many generals have come to report to Zhang Xianzhong, saying that the grievances of the subordinate sergeants are getting stronger and stronger, and they live a comfortable and peaceful life, these people are not adaptable, seeing more and more trouble, and the people have also begun to be affected, and there are often soldiers who get drunk in the middle of the night, enter the house at night, or kill or rob, and even Y** women. If this situation is not stopped, how can it be obtained?
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong had a plan, it was best to send these people out to fight, so that they could see the blood, so that they could vent the evil fire in their hearts.
Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong also understands that Zuo Liangyu recruited troops in Wuchang, and his strength has increased greatly, and if he does not attack, Zuo Liangyu will become stronger and stronger. If he has men and horses in his hands that can match him, he doesn't need to fight him, and they will come to him.
