Chapter 381: Liu Zhang's Choice

When Liu Zhang heard Huang Quan's words, he immediately sobered up, isn't it, the dispatch of the army is a dangerous thing, and who can guarantee that this battle will be won?

He Zhang Song said that this battle will be won, so this battle will be won? Not necessarily, right?

As Huang Quan said, if this battle is won, then everyone will naturally be happy, but what if this battle is lost? At that time, in the chaos of the army, he is also very dangerous, and if he rashly fights with the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong, it will be tantamount to a complete gamble, if he is defeated, I am afraid that the land of Yizhou will not be his own!

Liu Zhang thought of this, and immediately hesitated in his heart, he had fought several times with the Hanzhong army in Yizhou before, and his Yizhou was defeated one after another, not only losing troops and generals, but also being occupied by the Hanzhong army in more than 20 counties, which shows that the combat power of the Hanzhong army is still stronger than the combat power of his own Yizhou army!

As Huang Quan said, now the power of the Hanzhong Army has strengthened again after annexing its own Yizhou counties, Zhang Lu's subordinates have expanded from 30,000 soldiers and horses to 50,000 troops, and his own Yizhou Army has indeed suffered serious losses and has not yet fully recovered, and now the gap between his own Yizhou Army and the Hanzhong Army has further widened!

The Yizhou Army was not the opponent of the Hanzhong Army before, not to mention that the gap has widened again? Thinking of this, Liu Zhang immediately became more honest, and his face did not have the elated look just now, and became a little hesitant.

Zhang Song also knows Liu Zhang's fault, not only is his character relatively cowardly, but also his ears are soft, it is easy to be moved, and it is easy to be said to change his mind again, the reason why Zhang Song was the first to speak out was to seize the opportunity and first leave Liu Zhang with the impression that their Yizhou army could fight with the Hanzhong army and win the battle, otherwise with Liu Zhang's cowardly nature, I am afraid it will be more difficult to adopt the suggestion of taking the initiative to face the battle.

Originally, seeing Liu Zhang's expression, he seemed to be a little moved, and Zhang Song's heart was still quite happy, but with Huang Quan's voice, Liu Zhang's expression also changed fundamentally, and Zhang Song knew that this was Liu Zhang's old problem of soft ears again!

Seeing this, Zhang Song secretly said something bad in his heart, and hurriedly glared at Huang Quan and asked, "Then in the opinion of the Lord, how to repel Zhang Lu?" ”

Huang Quan pondered for a moment and replied: "For today's plan, it is better to close the territory and reject it. ”

Zhang Song laughed and replied: "Hahahaha, it's really a corrupt opinion!" Now that the princes of the great world are competing, if I, Yizhou, is on the safe side, sooner or later it will be merged by others! Let's not talk about it for the time being, let's just say that the thief is ambitious, and he has long been eyeing the land of Yizhou, and the Hanzhong army is also strong. ”

"Moreover, before my Yizhou was closed and blocked, the deep ditch and high fortress were rejected, so it was invaded by Zhang Lu's thieves to occupy more than 20 counties, if our army was defeated again at this time, what should we do? Do you want to give Chengdu to Zhang Lu? ”

Huang Quan is not good at distinguishing words, after hearing Zhang Song's questioning, he suddenly didn't know how to reply, after all, the previous defeat was real, this Huang Quan has no way to quibble, Liu Zhang's ears are soft, and after hearing Zhang Song's words, his heart is a little floating, but isn't it, if his own soldiers and horses are defeated again, I'm afraid that this land of Yizhou will not belong to him, if so, it is better to lead the troops to fight to the death!

Zhang Song saw Liu Zhang's expression change, and knew that he had finally broken Liu Zhang back, but before he could be happy, he saw another person walking out of the hall, Zhang Song hurriedly looked at it, this person was none other than Liu Zhang's account.

Wang Lei stepped forward a few steps, bowed to Liu Zhang, and said: "Don't listen to Zhang Song's words, the lord must not listen to Zhang Song's words, this time is different from the past, when Zhang Lu invaded before, I Yizhou was not prepared, and the more than 20 counties that were lost before were also unsafe places to defend, but now the location is different, if the Hanzhong army wants to continue to go south, it must first break through the Jiameng Pass, the gateway of Yizhou!" Jiameng Pass's city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called a one-man pass! Now I have 20,000 elite soldiers led by General Zhang Ren, the general of Yizhou, to guard the pass, which is enough to ensure that the city is worry-free! ”

"Our army has Jiameng Pass as a barrier, and even if the Hanzhong army is fierce, it is definitely useless! On the contrary, if the lord rashly leads the troops to Jiameng Pass and fights the Hanzhong army, this will give the Hanzhong army a chance to show its skills! ”

"In a certain opinion, our army only needs to sit and guard the Jiameng Pass, and there is no need to worry; If you rashly send troops to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, there is a danger that the whole army will be wiped out and Yizhou will be lost, and the lord will decide! Of course, if the lord is not at ease, he can send another army and horses to Jiameng Pass to support! ”

When Liu Zhang heard Wang Lei's words, his expression suddenly relaxed, isn't it, he still has Jiameng Pass in Yizhou, and Zhang Ren sent back the military information to himself, and he didn't say anything like the critical situation of Jiamengguan, it seems that Zhang Ren still has the determination to hold Jiameng Pass, if so, he can sit back and relax!

As for what Zhang Song said, what is the general trend of the world and the like, what does this have to do with himself, anyway, he doesn't want to dominate the world, he just wants to keep his own Yizhou land, and his own Yizhou land is rich in money and food, except for Zhang Lu, he is not afraid of other foreign enemies attacking!

When Liu Zhang thought of this, he ran Zhang Song's words to the back of his mind, and said with a smile: "Well, the words of the prince are very much in line with my wishes, I don't know if you have any other high opinions?" ”

When everyone in the hall heard Liu Zhang's question, they bowed one after another:

"The lord is wise, Jiameng Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Hanzhong Army will definitely not be able to break through Jiameng Pass!"

"Well, what the prince said is very true, Zhang Yongnian is still too young, if our army takes the initiative to attack, this will give that Zhang Lu a chance, if it is closed and blocked, and the deep ditch and high fortress are rejected, then even if Zhang Lu has a thousand skills, what can he do to me?"

"However, the words of the prince are really the old opinions, and the lord is wise enough to choose good policies, which is really the blessing of my Yizhou!"

……

Liu Zhang saw that the important ministers in the palace all agreed with the countermeasures said by Huang Quan and Wang Lei, and opposed Zhang Song's strategy of taking the initiative to fight, and praised him extremely in his words, Liu Zhang's careful thinking immediately drifted a little, and then ordered: "Since this is the case, then choose the strategy of the main and the work, close the situation, and reject it with deep ditches and high barriers." Order Zhang Ren to retreat and defend the Jiameng Pass, and must not give Zhang Lu a chance to break the pass, and then order Yang Huai and Gao Pei to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to Jiameng Pass to support, with this 30,000 army, Jiameng Pass will definitely be worry-free! ”

"The lord is wise!"
