Chapter 211 Longzhou

Although Meng Chang is the second-generation leadership core of Shu State, he has not suffered any hardships since he was a child. However, when Meng Chang was young, he was also a leader for a few days, and the ministers were arrogant at that time, and it took him the boss's hard work to kill those pretentious ministers. Therefore, he has his own views on power! What power can be let go, what power must be firmly controlled, he is still very clear-headed. Let Ma Guangmeng command the army of Shu, Meng Chang's head shook like a rattle, and he resolutely disagreed.

However, as the commander of the unified army, once Han Baozheng really decided to send troops to the Northern Expedition, he could not help but ask about the coordinated operation. It's not that Han Baozheng wants to command the Chu army, and don't do to others what he doesn't want. He himself didn't want Ma Guangmeng to command the Shu army, and he would compare his heart to his heart, how could Ma Guangmeng agree to let him Han Baozheng command the Chu army!

Zhong Yunzhang took a sip of tea and was silent, he was thinking, Han Baozheng's words undoubtedly showed that he had already been moved, and he was likely to change from delaying sending troops to actively sending troops. Chu's political division is very clear, civilian officials only have the power to supervise the army, but they have no power to command. Although the civil officials with Xu Zhongya as the emperor have argued several times and want to control the command of the army in the hands of the civilian officials, their reason is very simple: the martial arts are chaotic and the country is over, and the disaster of the martial arts is the most obvious reason. However, Ma Yun never agreed. Xu Zhongya They may not understand, but Zhong Yunzhang, who has joined the political circles of Chu from Lingnan, knows very well in his heart that the martial arts are indeed going to cause chaos in the world, but if this military power is in the hands of meritorious civil officials, it is not only a matter of chaos in the world, it is to change the dynasty! Therefore, Zhong Yunzhang has never been involved in these things, this time he was sent to Xingyuan Mansion, he also kept his duty, on the one hand, he supervised the grain road, and on the other hand, he cleaned up the hearts of the people in Sichuan, and he asked Ma Yun more for the army.

Of course, on Han Baozheng's question, Zhong Yunzhang does not have any right to speak at all, at least he can reiterate the military and political affairs of Chu State, or express the agreement between the two countries on the command of the army just now. But Zhong Yunzhang didn't do this, if Ma Guangmeng's mission was the Northern Expedition, and his goal was Guanzhong, then Zhong Yunzhang's task was to destroy Shu, and his goal was Shu from beginning to end. He opened a porridge shed in Xingyuan Mansion just as a pretense, he wanted to focus all the suspicious eyes that might exist in Shu on the porridge shed. In fact, Shu is not a catastrophe, how many people's hearts can be cleaned up by a few porridge sheds? His real means were used to transport grain. The monarchs and ministers of Shu thought very wishy-washy, very ideal, every time the military rations supplied to the Chu army were ten days a day, but they did not seem to have imagined that in this way, from Chengdu Mansion to Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan), Mianzhou (now Mianyang, Sichuan), Jianzhou (now Jiange, Sichuan), Lizhou (now Guangyuan, Sichuan), and then to Xingyuan Mansion (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi), along the way, Mianmian was constantly transporting grain, and Zhong Yunzhang used the excuse of avoiding labor shortage and speeding up the transportation as an excuse, and the grain transportation was carried out in stages. For example, hiring people in Chengdu to transport grain to Zizhou, and then hiring people in Zizhou to transport grain to Mianzhou, the number of people coming and going on the official road increased sharply, and after the officials of Shu accepted bribes, the inventory of the people transporting grain was extremely lax. As long as a period of time passes, Zhong Yunzhang can even pat his chest and promise: If he has an army of 10,000 people in his hands, he can send these 10,000 people from Xingyuan Mansion to Chengdu without alarming the officialdom of Shu State!

Think about it, if the Chu army with 10,000 people suddenly appeared in Chengdu City, would Meng Chang still be able to run?

Of course, Zhong Yunzhang doesn't do it now, it's not that he doesn't want to do it. The key reason is that the time is not ripe yet! On the one hand, because the strength is a little stretched, of the 70,000 troops under Ma Guangmeng's command, 30,000 are in Fengxiang, and the remaining 40,000 are confronting the Zhou army in Jinzhou, and he does not have enough troops to attack Shu. As for the mobilization of troops in other places, this matter needs to be decided by Ma Yun personally, after all, Ma Guangmeng has been in the western part of Chu for a while, and with such a good dish, he actually didn't let the troops on the Western Front eat it, I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable. On the other hand, Shu is still a bit of a so-called elite army. Under the current circumstances, the puppet Zhou still has a strong strength, and it is impossible for the Chu State to invest a large number of troops in Shuzhong. How to take Shu at the smallest cost, this is worthy of consideration by the high-level of Chu.

Therefore, Zhong Yunzhang's purpose is very simple, that is, to weaken the strength of Shu. How can this be weakened? You can't use the Chu army to kill the Shu army, so you can only borrow a knife to kill people, and let the Shu army go out of Shu to fight the Zhou army! Let the Zhou army kill the Shu army.

Han Baozheng saw that Zhong Yunzhang didn't speak, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd. He was a little anxious. Why is he in a hurry? Because Han Baozheng felt that he had said the wrong thing just now, and what he said just now exposed his true intentions, didn't this let Zhong Yunzhang, an old thing, know that he was going to go on a Northern Expedition? Now that the situation in the Northern Expedition is very good, in case the Chu army feels that its strength alone is enough to deal with the pseudo-Zhou, then... Then we will not be in Dashu.

Han Baozheng was worried about what Zhong Yunzhang was thinking, he never dreamed that Zhao Jizha had already told Zhong Yunzhang the content of Meng Chang's holy decree. Zhong Yunzhang is not thinking now

Han Baozheng urged: "Lord Zhong, since my country is also going to the Northern Expedition, if the problem of coordination between the two armies is not handled well, I am afraid that it will not only be detrimental to our great cause of the Northern Expedition, but I am afraid that it will also make you and me feel suspicious!" His idea was very simple, he wanted to finalize the issue of sharing the spoils with Zhong Yunzhang after sending troops. My brother still settles the accounts, and if you don't talk about the rules before the war, how can you fight with peace of mind!

Zhong Yunzhang squinted at Han Baozheng, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he said curtly: "Actually, the battle of the Northern Expedition has just begun, and now the situation is unpredictable, your army can take a good rest and appear as a new force, which may be more beneficial to our Northern Expedition!" In fact, the reason why Zhong Yunzhang was silent was that he was thinking about the wording, how to impress Han Baozheng, and let the surnamed Han send troops quickly, thus causing the emptiness in Sichuan, and he could report the movements of Shu to His Majesty the Emperor, and ask the emperor whether to send troops into Sichuan secretly. However, Han Baozheng said this in a hurry, which immediately made Zhong Yunzhang realize that there was pressure exerted by Meng Chang on the opposite side, and secondly, this ten ** felt that the Northern Expedition would win, and he wanted to quickly send troops to pick peaches.

Whether the Northern Expedition can be won this time, Zhong Yunzhang is really hard to guess, after all, there are still some fierce people in the pseudo-Zhou. But how to persuade Han Baozheng to send troops as soon as possible, Zhong Yunzhang has already thought of a way: he wants to capture him.

Han Baozheng's eyes rolled, and his first reaction was that Zhong Yunzhang, the old boy, didn't seem to want him to send troops quickly, which... This is a little different from his attitude just now. Just now, Zhong Yunzhang kept boasting that the Northern Expedition would win, and now as soon as Lao Tzu said that he was going to send troops, he immediately changed his tone, this old boy didn't want Dashu to get any benefits. Han Baozheng was secretly figuring out that in fact, Zhong Yunzhang's attitude had become abrupt, and if he thought about it calmly, he might not be able to show it. But Han Baozheng was originally Meng Chang's echo worm, and this time because of his timidity, he wanted to resist Meng Chang softly, but when he suddenly realized that sending troops was a great benefit, he immediately changed.

Han Baozheng said with a smile: "Lord Zhong, the Northern Expedition is the reason for the alliance between your two countries. During the New Year's Festival, the king of Wangcheng of your country rushed to Chengdu and reiterated the matter. A few days ago, when your army borrowed the road, our two countries once again expressed their willingness to go on a northern expedition. Now, we in Dashu are ready and perfect, so naturally we want to go on the Northern Expedition, and we are also contributing as allies! ”

"Actually, the relationship between our two countries is so harmonious, your country can get Guanzhong through redemption!" Zhong Yunzhang replied to the question.

Damn, ransom, you think you're buying Chinese cabbage! The price is so high, let's buy a hair! Han Baozheng scolded in his heart, but he resolutely refused to let it. The two shirked for a while, and Zhong Yunzhang reluctantly agreed to report to Ma Guang and the marshal of the horse, let the Shu army pass Baoji and fight with the Chu army! Now that Fengxiang Mansion is under the control of Shu, Han Bao is about to take his children in Sichuan to the north, he will not go to the Meridian Valley, but to go to Fengxiang. In this way, he must greet the Chu army first, lest people not let him go!

"Marshal, soldier god! Now that Fengxiang Mansion has been taken down by us, why don't you go straight to Guanzhong? Judging from the last general, there shouldn't be many troops in this level! Shentu Congjian asked Ma Guangmeng on the side.

After defeating Guo Changling on the bank of the Wei River, there was no Zhou army left in the entire Fengxiang, and Ma Guangmeng marched all the way, and it was easy to take Tianxing City. Immediately after that, Ma Guang did not stop, he left Zhou Xingfeng to garrison Tianxing City and Baoji, and he led 10,000 horses to the west to attack Longzhou of the pseudo-Zhou Dynasty.

Although this Longzhou is also a border town of the pseudo-Zhou, and then go to the west, it is the Qinzhou of Shu, and Gao Yantao is stationed in Qinzhou. However, Longzhou's status cannot be compared with Fengxiang at all. Even from the perspective of status, Fengxiang is a mansion and has always governed Longzhou. Moreover, there are only less than 5ooo Zhou troops in Longzhou, the city wall is still an earthen wall, less than five meters high, and the defenders are all old and weak. There is basically no suspense in this battle. Shentu easily captured Longzhou.

"Shentu, you can't just rely on brute force to fight. Ben Shuai didn't go straight to Guanzhong, he was waiting for someone! Ma Guang said with a fierce smile.

"Could it be that the marshal wants to deal with Gao Huaide with ease? That... Then how could it be Feng Xiang waiting, why bother to come to Longzhou! ”
