"Well, the march has been very hard all the way, or please ask the gentleman to sit in the city. General Ben personally went to the Sword Pavilion, but I want to see if Ma Chao has three heads and six arms! And that Zhang Lu is really too deceitful! Liu Cong didn't seem to have come out of his anger yet, and he gritted his teeth when he spoke.

"My lord, don't do it in person! The newly surrendered three counties of Guanghan, Ba County, and Ba Dong are the time when the lord is here to establish his authority and let the people of Yizhou return to their hearts. Although Fa Zheng didn't fully understand what the two gentlemen and ministers were singing, he could see that the name was coming.

It is true that this Ma Chao has 30,000 cavalry, but the section to the west of the Sword Pavilion is a mountain road. There is also the Sword Pavilion Xiongguan to block it, no matter how powerful Ma Chao is, Zhuge Liang can lead the troops there. There is no need for Zhuge Liang to go at all, just send a general, Zhang Ren, Huang Zhong, and Yan Yan sitting in this hall are all good, and they are all veterans who can fight habitually, and they should be able to stop Ma Chao. Oh, by the way, it's about feathers...... Well? Guan yu?

Fa Zheng looked at Guan Yu, who was suffocating red, and then looked at Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang, who were worried, they were tired, absolutely! Does the lord want Guan Yu to go on the expedition?

Zhuge Liang spoke over there: "Lord, what you say is reasonable. It is very important to win the hearts and minds of the people of Yizhou. Liang is willing to go on behalf of the lord to resist Na Ma Chao. But please also ask the lord to send the old general Huang Zhong forward! ”

"Well, General Huang is old and strong, but he is old. That Ma Chao is in the prime of life...... Moreover, you also know that General Ben is not good at government affairs......" Liu Cong said and hesitated a little as he spoke, "Why don't General Yan Yan go with him." But I can't give you too many soldiers, at most 20,000 people still have to echo with the Baishui Pass! ”

"Well, Liang is going to prepare. Two old generals, but they have to work hard for two again. Zhuge Liang looked at Huang Zhong and Yan Yan helplessly, and said with a clear expression, Ma Chao is too powerful, and Huang Zhong is not safe, so let's go with the two elders.

"Huang Zhong is willing to share the worries of the Lord!"

"Yan Yan is willing to worry about the Lord!"

The voices of the two veterans were like a bell, and everyone was deafening when they heard it, and everyone admired the two veterans very much. Only Guan Yu felt that he should not appear in this hall at all. Because he close someone seems to have been completely ignored. The two old guys, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan, together are not necessarily my Guan Mou's opponents, but how can this lord and Mr. turn a blind eye to themselves? Not only that, but he seems to be ignored by the whole lobby?

At this time, Fa Zheng looked at Guan Yu with a slightly weird smile. Guan Yu didn't know what Fa Zheng was thinking, but he was probably laughing? Or is it implied? Thinking of the scene when Liu Cong swept over him before, Guan Yu felt unprecedented pressure.

Since the lord let himself enter Shu, he wanted to reuse himself, but along the way, Zhuge Liang would rather let Huang Zhong be the vanguard than let himself fight. Now that he has arrived in Luocheng, Liu Cong is still like this? Could it be that the two of them don't trust me? In this way, I should seize the opportunity to show my strength, otherwise I will never be able to stand out under the lord in the future.

"Lord, the military advisor is slow!" Seeing that Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, and Yan Yan were ready to take the order, Guan Yu couldn't wait, stood up and said, "What Mr. Fa said is reasonable, the lord needs to sit in Luocheng to subdue the people's hearts. Mr. Kong Ming needs to stay here to take care of government affairs. Guan is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops to the Sword Pavilion for the lord to resist that Ma Chao! ”

"Oh?" Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang turned their eyes to Guan Yu at the same time. I saw a smug smile flashing on Liu Cong's face, and then said solemnly: "General Guan can have this heart." It would have been a great relief. It's just that I heard that Ma Chao won the three armies, and his subordinate Pang De is even more ...... The combat power of the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry is amazing...... "Liu Cong hesitated when he spoke, which made it clear that he didn't believe that Guan Yu could do it!"

"Guan is willing to lead 10,000 troops, and he will be determined to defeat Na Ma Chao for the lord!" Guan Yu also heard the contempt in Liu Cong's words, and his blushing face was even more twitching.

"Ten thousand? General Guan, don't underestimate the enemy! That horse is 30,000 iron horses! Liu Cong reminded.

"Guan is willing to make a military order!" Guan Yu saw that Liu Cong was relieved, for fear of the opportunity of the measure, first emphasized that only 10,000 people were needed, and then emphasized the military order.

"Good! Since General Guan was willing to make a military order, the general was relieved. However, although General Guan is also a hero of the world, Ma Chao is not a good person, so General Ben will let you lead two thousand troops to resist Ma Chao. At the same time, let Zhang Ziqiao and General Ling Bao assist the general to go! If there is a general blocking that Ma Chao, I can work with all the generals to capture Chengdu, and when the general triumphs, I will set up a banquet to celebrate with the general! If you lose, do you know the consequences? ”

"Thank you, my lord! Guan Mou will never let the Xiliang cavalry cross the Sword Pavilion by half a step! Seeing that Liu Cong so readily agreed to go on his expedition, Guan Yu couldn't think about why he was so quick to equip himself with deputy generals and military advisors. Zhang Song and Ling Bao are both natives of Yizhou, and it is naturally incumbent on them to assist Guan Yu in guarding the pass, and the three of them will soon be ordered.

Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and smiled, and Fa Zheng saw it on the side. It's just that Yan Yan is a little lost, and he has lost another chance to make meritorious contributions. However, thinking about Guan Yu's youth, his martial arts are stronger than his own, and his ability to command troops is not bad, this is a little relieved. However, except for Fa Zheng, it was difficult for others present to see Liu Cong's deep meaning, and even Fa Zheng did not completely guess Liu Cong. Liu Cong has been hiding Guan Yu in the snow, and this time it is another method of agitation to make Guan Yu take the initiative to ask for help, it is not as simple as restricting Ma Chao.

Although Ma Chao's cavalry is brave, it is full of lofty mountains and mountains from Tianshui and Wuwei to Yinping and Jiange, which is not suitable for cavalry marching. Ma Chao wanted a quick way to join forces with Zhang Lu. Now that Yizhou is in turmoil, if Cao Cao or Liu Cong intends to invade Hanzhong, Zhang Lu will ask Ma Chao for help.

But now it's to carve up Yizhou, Zhang Lu also wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, and he can't wait for Ma Chao to enter Shu, so he won't let Ma Chao borrow it. Ma Chao marched along the westernmost part of Hanzhong County, and Zhang Lu turned a blind eye. However, in this way, it is impossible for Ma Chao to march quickly. And who is Guan Yu, will he be afraid of Ma Chao? With 20,000 in his hand, he will definitely not sit back and wait for Ma Chao's 30,000 cavalry to approach, and then sit on the pass to face Ma Chao.

In terms of commander-in-chief ability, Guan Yu may not be as good as Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang, but when it comes to marching, ambushing, and pursuing Guan Yu in this difficult environment, he dares to say second, but I am afraid that no one will call him first. You must know that Guan Yu followed Liu Bei, and there were few opportunities to command the cavalry, they were all infantry, they were all hard battles, they lost more and won less, but they were very experienced. The reason why Liu Cong has been hiding him is to let him play here to the fullest and find that feeling of confidence and conceit.

Ma Chao suffered a loss, if he was unwilling, then he had to go to Hanzhong first and then go south, so Liu Cong sent Yan Yan to lead 10,000 troops to assist Wei Yan, in exchange for Zhao Yun at the same time, that is, to strengthen the defense of Baishui Pass. And if the defense line can be pushed to the west and north, it is Zhang Lu's territory, and it can also play a role in containing Zhang Lu. If you can occupy one or two counties on this, it will be regarded as a bridgehead for Liu Cong to capture Hanzhong after taking Chengdu in the future.

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan are obviously not up to such a task. Even if Zhang Ren hadn't been for Liu Cong to explain the plan and the inventory, I am afraid that he would only stick to the pass. And Guan Yu is a little conceited, plus Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang have been deliberately hiding and neglecting all along. This time, Guan Yu got the opportunity to be an eagle trapped bird out of the cage, maybe there will be a bigger surprise!

Of course, in order to prevent Guan Yu from going his own way and taking risks to fight, he was equipped with Zhang Song and Ling Bao. Zhang Song is good at strategy, and Lingbao has rich combat experience, and the key two are familiar with the terrain of Shu, and they can also assist Guan Yu to strengthen the control of the Shu soldiers in the army.

"Lord, now that my Jingzhou soldiers are gathered here, and there are General Zhang and General Yan to help, it's time to change back to General Zilong!" Zhuge Liang waited for Guan Yu to go down and then proposed, he was cautious by nature, when Baishui Pass was urgent, there was no general in Luocheng, Liu Cong had no choice but to send the big bodyguard to the front line, and only Liao Hua and others were left in Luocheng. Now that all the generals have gathered, the safety of the lord is the first priority.

Liu Cong knew Zhuge Liang's considerations, but what he said was right, this Chengdu could slow down the attack, but he had to subdue the people of Yizhou as soon as possible. In this era, the most direct way is to go to the masses and follow the mass line. But although he is a general of the expedition to the south, he is Jingzhou, and this attack on Yucheng naturally offended many people, and it would be safer if Zhao Yun accompanied him.

"Old General Yan, I will work hard for you to lead 10,000 troops to Baishui Pass to assist General Wei in guarding Baishui Pass."

"The last general commands!" Yan Yan, who was still a little lost a moment ago, immediately got up again and took the order.

Of course, Liu Cong's post-recruitment is not over, after the generals set off, Liu Cong ordered another order, analyzed Guanghan County to form Zitong County, govern Zitong County, and govern Zitong County, Fu County, Hanshou County, Jiameng County, Hande County, and Zhaohuan County. Dong Yun, who captured the city and made miraculous achievements, led the county guard.

In addition to praising Dong Yun and comforting Liu Zhang's old ministry who had returned to Shun, Liu Cong's move. It is also to prepare for the next military operation. Liu Cong asked Dong Yun to stabilize production while actively preparing for war after Dong Yun arrived, and provide strong support to Wei Yan and Guan Yu, the two border generals.

Dong Yun moved to Zitong County to be too guarded, and the happiest person was Dong He. Dong He was only a county guard under Liu Zhang's hands for more than ten years, and he was almost wiped out by the local wealthy clan. It seems that this son of his own is not in vain. And the new owner Liu Cong is really wise!

Of course, it is more about Liu Cong's trust in Dong and his son, just imagine, the current territory in Liu Cong's hands, in addition to Shangyong, is only Guanghan, Zitong, Brazil, Bajun and Padang. As soon as Liu Cong made a move, he handed over the two counties to Dong He and his son, and they were the key two counties that cut off the northern line and Luocheng.
