After Zhuge Liang captured Jiangzhou City, he asked Huang Zhong and Yan Yan to lead troops to subdue the counties along the way, and joined Liu Cong in Luocheng. At the same time, he was ready to order Li Yan to temporarily hold Jiangzhou, and he and Guan Yu and others would continue to lead the army to approach Chengdu.

Huang Yan, two veterans, is not old-hearted, rigorous in governing the army, and Yan Yan has a reputation in Yizhou. Therefore, it didn't take much effort along the way, and they quickly arrived at the city. When they set out from Jiangzhou, there were only 3,000 men, and when they arrived at the inauguration of the service, the number of soldiers under them had doubled.

When Liu Cong heard that Huang Zhong's vanguard had arrived, he was naturally very happy. I am short of generals here. Siege and defense of the city need military generals, and Zhang Lu and Ma Chao in the north are also ready to move, and they also need military generals to lead the troops.

Liu Cong took a group of people from Yucheng to greet him outside the city in person. When they saw a spirited veteran standing next to Huang Zhong, everyone who came out to greet him was full of emotion. Jingzhou all sighed, this Huang Zhong finally met a confidant, and it was really interesting for the two to stand together.

It's just that Fa Zheng and Zhang Ren are still a little embarrassed when they disagree with Yan Yan! Yan Yan also didn't know what to say. This Yan Yan and Zhang Ren are both generals in Yizhou, but they didn't expect that Liu Cong would be demoted one after another within a few days.

Seeing this, Liu Cong hurriedly stepped forward and took the hands of the two veterans: "The two veteran generals are really old and strong, and they are role models!" Hurry up and follow the general into the city, I want to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the two old generals. ”

The banquet had already been set up in the Taishou Mansion of Yucheng, and Liu Cong pulled the two old generals to sit down on his desk, and asked vigorously about the situation of Zhuge Liang's army along the way. Huang Zhong has always been a pioneer with the army this time, and he has made a lot of meritorious contributions. Naturally, he was very happy, Liu Cong also raised his glass frequently, one would respect the old general Huang and be strong, and the other would praise Yan Yan and abandon the darkness, and he drank no less wine.

Later, Liu Cong asked more about Huang Zhong's recent situation in Jingzhou, and several of Liu Zhang's old subordinates in Yizhou lamented the changes in the world. began to compare Liu Cong and Liu Zhang. The atmosphere is much more harmonious, and there is no embarrassment when we meet in the first year.

Fa Zheng kept touting Liu Cong, and the two Yizhou generals, especially Yan Yan, were a little skeptical at first, but they didn't expect Liu Cong to look more elegant than Zhuge Liang. is such a seemingly elegant young man who has so many experiences of winning battles.

Especially when Fa Zheng talked about the Xiangyang competition at the beginning, Liu Cong's victory over Zhang Fei made Yan Yan admire. Most of the reason why Yan Yan was able to return to obedience was because he saw Huang Zhong's superb martial arts, that is, Aiwu and Wu thought that Liu Cong's army was like a cloud.

And Zhang Ren is the one who directly fought with Liu Cong, but he also knows that Liu Cong is good at planning and making decisions in battle. It's just that I didn't expect that there would be a lot of chic romantic past. The more the generals know about Liu Cong, the more they admire and worship Liu Cong in their hearts.

Five days later, Zhuge Liang led his army to arrive in Yucheng. In this way, together with the recruits recently recruited in Luocheng, and the surrendered troops recruited by Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong and others along the way, Luocheng gathered nearly 90,000 people at once. This is almost the number of defenders in the entire Jingzhou now. Liu Cong is very happy, with such a huge army, why worry about Liu Zhang's inbreakability.

Liu Cong and Zhuge Liang Junchen met again after a year and a half, and they were also full of emotion. Whether Zhuge Liang's Longzhong divided the world into three parts, or Liu Cong's river division and rule, seizing Yizhou was the first step. Presumably, neither of them thought that they would be in Chengdu so soon, which meant that the first step of their dream was about to come true, and the two young people couldn't hide their excitement in their hearts.

"Kong Ming, your two urgent reports almost frightened the whole army." Thinking that Zhuge Liang has followed him for so many years, most of them are responsible for dealing with **, but there is a secret hidden in the letter, which no other strategist can do. Pang Tong and Pang Tong didn't know that Liu Cong had the habit of reading horizontally, from left to right. This also shows that the master and servant are closer.

"How can the carving insect trick deceive the lord. Liang is also thinking hard, how to make the lord's subordinates believe that it is indeed difficult for the soldiers of Yizhou Prefecture to believe that I Jingzhou. But he can't miss the timing of the lord's war in Shu. But fortunately, Liang remembered the reading and writing habits of the lord he occasionally learned. Don't say it, this special habit of the lord is really handy! ”

"Haha...... Kong Ming, don't you know that Shiyuan and Xiaozhi were in a hurry, thinking that our army was going to abandon halfway and return to Jingzhou. When you're free, you'll have to explain it to the two of them. ”

"Liang wrote these two letters to have this effect, not to deceive each other, I believe that Shiyuan and Xiaozhi will be able to understand."

"Well, now that my army is gathered here, what do you think next?"

"My lord, Chengdu is a rich place, and it is not suitable to be attacked. It is best to surround Liu Zhang on all sides and then persuade Liu Zhang to surrender. And Zhang Lu and Ma Chao in the north are not peaceful people, and I heard that our army wants to attack Yizhou with a small number of sergeants, and they must want to make trouble and fish in troubled waters. Although the two generals Wen Chang and Zilong were brave. But Zilong has too little experience in commanding troops after all. If Ma Chao and Zhang Lu sneak attack Shuzhong in two ways, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of the two will be difficult to resist......"

"Well, what the gentleman thinks is also what I am worried about. Chengdu can slow down the attack, but neither Zhang Lu nor Ma Chao can be allowed to step into Shuzhong, and Cao Cao must be guarded against...... What is the state of General Guan along the way? ”

"According to the Lord's order, General Guan has been with me in the Chinese army, and I am afraid that I will be suffocated along the way."

"Haha, tomorrow you and I will be so ......"

On the second day, in the hall of the Taishou Mansion in Luocheng, Liu Cong convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss. Focus on the next strategic directions.

First of all, Liu Cong asked Zhuge Liang to tell the old general of Yizhou about the current situation in Jingzhou. When the generals heard it, they muttered in their hearts, a good show performed by the two monarchs and ministers had been hidden from the entire Yizhou. Now that he has become his own person, he knows that Jingzhou is fine at all.

"Report ...... Report to the lord, General Baishui Guan Wei urgently report! Liu Cong was about to make arrangements for the next important military and political affairs, when a herald hurriedly walked in.

"What's the matter?" Liu Cong pretended to be interrupted and was very unhappy.

The herald didn't speak, but took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhuge Liang: "Lord, sir, General Wei has an urgent military situation!" ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang had already opened the letter and skimmed it quickly, and then stepped forward and handed it to Liu Cong.

"What? Ma Chao is in transgression! So fast? This reckless ...... Didn't Zhang Lu promise our army not to reinforce Liu Zhang? How can you go back on your word! "Liu Cong slapped the case, and he took it up, and kept muttering in his mouth, shameless villain, I will definitely make him look good!

Fa Zheng didn't see the specific content of the letter, but looking at Liu Cong's expression, he guessed that it was a big deal. I have followed Liu Cong for so long, and I have rarely seen him so irritable and angry...... Fa Zheng wanted to find some clues from Zhuge Liang's face, but Zhuge Liang sat there and didn't think it was correct at all, but turned his head to look at Liu Cong.

"Lord, what did General Wei say in the letter?"

"There is a secret report that Zhang Lu wants to raise 50,000 troops to invade Baishui Pass. Ma Chao also ordered 30,000 iron horsemen to set off to prepare to enter Shuzhong from Xiamu......" Liu Cong slowed down and said to Fazheng, and he also said to the generals in the hall.

Zhang Luxing has 50,000 soldiers, and Ma Chao has 30,000? The soldiers are divided into two ways. No wonder Wei Yan is in a hurry! Fa Zheng also gasped when he heard this, Baishuiguan originally only left 5,000 soldiers, led by Li Hui. After the capture was completed, Wei Yan brought 5,000 from Ruocheng and 3,000 from Langzhong. That's 13,000 in all. Even if Wei Yan and Zhao Yun have world-class martial arts, they can't resist it, the most fatal thing is that the two are not the same target, and the soldiers are divided into two ways......

"My lord, Zhang Lu and Ma Chaobing are attacking in two ways, and they must be taken seriously. Now that I have gathered 90,000 troops in the city, the lord can send the general to repel the two of them, and then Xu Tucheng! "Sure enough, the hero saw it! After listening to Liu Cong's narration, Fa Zheng put forward his own opinion.

"Well, filial piety is straightforward. We must not let these two people enter Shu to harm my big things. But who can do it? After listening to Fa Zheng's words, Liu Cong nodded again and again, and then threw out questions.

This time, Fa Zheng did not answer directly, but turned to Zhuge Liang, who was sitting on the opposite side. Although Fa Zheng has won Liu Cong's trust since he followed Liu Cong into Shu. Especially when the night saw through Zhang Ren's flooding plan, and then returned his body, Liu Cong praised it even more. However, in the hearts of the soldiers in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang is the first think tank under Liu Cong. And he was already the Sima of the Great General's Mansion in the South before. So Fa Zheng still can't let go in front of Zhuge Liang.

Seeing Liu Cong asking, Zhuge Liang got up and followed Liu Cong to scan everyone in the hall. The generals also straightened their waists, as if waiting for the two monarchs and ministers to review. Huang Zhong, Zhang Ren...... On the opposite side are Guan Yu, Yan Yan, and Ling Bao......

Liu Cong first set his eyes on Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren immediately got up: "Lord, Zhang Ren is willing to lead the troops!" ”

Liu Cong smiled: "General Zhang, you are most familiar with the surroundings of Chengdu." It's almost the summer season, and Ben will have an even heavier task to hand over to you! ”

After speaking, he set his eyes on Guan Yu, but he only stayed for less than a second, and then quickly turned elsewhere, which made Guan Yu very disappointed. He experienced more than three years from being captured to returning to Shun, and he was also very familiar with the situation in Liu Cong and Jingzhou.

For the first time, Liu Cong took Wei Yan and Zhao Yun into Shu, and even brought the little boy Liao Hua and Yu Ban, who were also demoted generals. But he didn't take him, this time the Second Route Army entered Shu, Zhuge Liang was the commander, although he brought him, he went to Huang Zhong's house to be the vanguard.

Guan Yu has long been suffocated, but his arrogant personality is unwilling to attack easily, especially with an old guy like Huang Zhong. Listening to Fa Zheng's analysis before, he thought in his heart that the opportunity had come. But......

Liu Cong finally set his sights on Zhuge Liang, which was to ask Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Zhuge Liang comprehended, bowed down and said, "Lord, it shouldn't be a big problem for General Wei and Shiyuan to guard Baishui Pass. But this horse is super difficult to deal with. Liang heard that he fought with Cao Cao in Guanzhong that day, but Cao Cao abandoned his robe and cut his beard......

Now it is 30,000 iron horses, once it is allowed to enter Shu, the iron horses are invincible in this Chengdu Plain. Therefore, the lord must send a brave and warlike general to resist. If necessary, even ask the lord to ......"
