Seeing that Liu Cong was still silent, Pang Tong couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, and then said: "Lord, there are two strategies in the middle and middle, and one of them can be decided in Yizhou." This is too conservative to say. ”

"Tell me about it."

"The lord led the troops back to Shangyong, and then gathered heavy troops from Jingzhou to attack Jiangzhou, attacking Shu in two ways, my Jingzhou soldiers are braver than Yizhou, and they can be captured in time...... In short, since the lord has come to Yizhou, he has to be anxious, and Xu has changed! ”

Liu Cong thought that this was really a good idea, if he used a large number of Jingzhou soldiers to attack Shu, why did he come to Yizhou, and he lived here for more than half a year. The top strategy is good but too risky, and the bottom strategy is stable but too conservative. It seems that this is the only way to go. As long as Chengdu is captured, people can be sent to besiege Jiangzhou from the waterway at that time.

"What does Xiaozhi think of Shiyuan Sance?" Since Liu Cong has two think tanks, as well as Yu Ban, a military master, he is not in a hurry to make a decision, brainstorming, and maybe he can think of other methods, that is, there is no new method, and Pang Tong's strategy can be supplemented and improved.

Fa Zheng has also been listening to Pang Tong talk about the upper, middle and lower strategies.

is also a think tank, Fa Zheng also felt that Pang Tong's three strategies were basically the methods that could be thought of at the moment, so he did not answer Liu Cong's question directly: "Ming Gong, I think that no matter what strategy the lord finally adopts, he should first consider connecting Jingzhou. Now there is a Brazilian county between Jia Meng and Shangyong. Pasir County Taishou Dong and Yuan are from Zhijiang, Jingzhou. These days, the Ming Duke is widely benevolent in Jiameng, and Dong He must have heard of it. If Dong He can be persuaded to connect Jia Meng and Jingzhou, Ming Gong can be invincible! ”

"What Xiaozhi said is good! My lord, this county of Brazil should be fought over, lest the two sides start a war and our army will be encircled on all sides. ”

"Yes, lord, if you can connect Jia Meng and Shangyong, you can be invincible as Mr. Fa said!" Yu Ban had been listening, and at this time he also stood up and echoed.

"The three strategies of the military division are very good, and Guling is also very important. In this way, Zilong and I will go to Langzhong County to explore Dong Youzai first. ”

"No! Ming Gong, Dong He is an honest official, but he is a bit pedantic, and Ming Gong may cause accidents if he goes! Fa Zheng heard that Liu Cong was going to see Dong He, and he dissuaded him again and again, he knew that Dong He was also trying to prevent Liu Cong from entering Shu.

If Liu Cong goes this time, if he doesn't show his will, it's okay, and if he shows the slightest intention to annex Yizhou, he will definitely be detained by Dong He and his son. So Fa Zheng was very worried.

Liu Cong didn't know Dong He's attitude, but he really thought that both father and son were smart people, and if the general trend was today, they should see it very thoroughly, indicating that they could persuade the two of them by going in person.

Even if he can't be convinced, there shouldn't be much danger if he has Zhao Yun and Liao Hua to protect him, after all, Liu Cong is a guest of Yizhou, the general of the Han Dynasty, and the royal brother of today's son. Since Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and Yu Ban all felt that it was important to connect Jia Meng and Shangyong, they also felt the need to open up this line. Then a trip to Langzhong is inevitable.

After all, attacking Yizhou is not an overnight thing, and once it is blocked, it is good to quickly send troops to Yizhou through Shangyong. From Xiangyang to Jiameng, including the mountain road, it is about 13,400 miles. It is only 500 miles from Jiameng to Chengdu. However, if it is from Jiangling through the waterway, even if the road is unimpeded, it will be nearly five or six hundred miles more than starting from Xiangyang to Jiameng and then going to Chengdu through Shangyong.

What's more, starting from the waterway, it is the enemy territory after Zigui, and Bajun also has Yan Yan, the general of Shuzhong, in charge, and it is not easy to reach Chengdu quickly.

This is Liu Cong's style, and he left Wei Yan, Yu Ban and Pang Tong to preside over the overall situation in the Jiameng military camp that day, and he took Zhao Yun, Liao Hua and several guards to gallop all the way to Langzhong.

Langzhong Shang belongs to Pakistan, and Zhou belongs to Pakistan. During the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Ba State was repeatedly invaded by the Chu State, and moved its capital from Jiangzhou (now Chongqing) to Langzhong in about 330 BC, and was called the King of Ba after 325 BC. Zhou Shenliang Wang Ji Ding six years, in 316 BC Qin Guohui Wang Yingsi sent Zhang Yi, Zhang Ruo, Sima Cuo to lead the team to walk the Shiniu Road (now Jiange Golden Bull Road / Jiange Road) to destroy Shu and swallow Tho, and soon destroy Ba.

King Qin set up a county. County. Suburbs/Countryside. Kiosk. Five-level system. Zhishu County, Ba County. The destruction of the three kingdoms of Shu, Tho and Ba was announced. In 314 BC, Ba County was located in Langzhong County.

What is Langzhong? Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty explained the word "Lang" and said: "Lang, the door is high." The meaning is: "Lang" is the meaning of the high gate. The Northern Song Dynasty music history "Taiping Huanyu Ji" explains "Langzhong" and says: "Its mountains are four in the county, so it is called Langzhong." The meaning is: The mountains around Langzhong resemble a high gate, and the city is in it, so it is called Langzhong. In other words, Langzhong got its name because of the mountain.

"Old Tang Dynasty Book Geographical Chronicles" explains the name of Langzhong, saying: "Langshui is meandering, passing through three sides of Ba County, so it is called Langzhong." The Jialing River flows through a section of Langzhong, which was called "Langshui" in ancient times. The meaning is: the Jialing River surrounds the city on three sides, and the city is in it, so it is called "Langzhong". In other words, Langzhong got its name from water.

The two statements seem to be inconsistent, but they are not contradictory. The mountains on all sides of Langzhong are shaped like high gates, because of the name Langshan; The Jialing River flows through the foot of Langshan Mountain, because of the name Langshui; The city is in the Langshan Langshui, so it is called Langzhong.

From 201 A.D. (the sixth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Eastern Han Dynasty) to 347 A.D. (the second year of Jianing of the Han Dynasty), Langzhong was governed by Brazil County, with jurisdiction over 8 counties, including Langzhong, Anhan, Dianjiang, Danqu, Xuanhan, Hanchang, Nanchong and Xichong.

Seeing the steep terrain in Langzhong, Liu Cong remembered the line of Shangyong and Fangling.

The difference is that Shangyong is surrounded by mountains on three sides, while Langzhong is surrounded by water on three sides, and in the era of cold weapons, such cities are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you can't convince Dong He, it will not be easy to capture Brazil County in the future.

Along the way, Zhao Yun was concerned about Liu Cong's safety, while Liao Hua pestered Liu Cong to ask Pang Tong which of the three strategies he planned to adopt. The two-hundred-mile journey from Jiameng to Langzhong was very laborious, but Liu Cong and his party were all good war horses, and soon the group came to the outside of Langzhong City.

However, the scene in front of him made Liu Cong very incomprehensible, Langzhong is the seat of a county, there are no soldiers guarding the city wall, and the city gate seems to be unguarded. If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, perhaps because this Brazilian county is safe, it does not close its doors at night. But what era is it now, Liu Cong's tens of thousands of Jingzhou soldiers are in Jiameng, only two hundred miles away, and Dong He does not support Liu Cong's entry into Shu, how can he not be a little guarded.

It is said that Dong He is not such a lax person, even if he is negligent for a while, he still has a very outstanding son Dong He at home. This county seat is like a natural village scattered across the plains. Even those natural villages should be on guard in this war-torn era. Although he and the others are not bandits, there are more than a dozen of them after all, and they are all riding horses.

When everyone entered the city to ask for directions, they found that the doors were closed. There were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally there were one or two, and when they saw Liu Cong and others, they all hurriedly hid.

What's going on? How can this be, it seems that Langzhong City is not deserted, to be precise, it may have been lively not long ago. Because there are still some stalls scattered on the road that have not had time to be taken away, whether it is work or vegetables and fruits are very fresh. It's just that the stalls are very messy, obviously these masters left in a hurry, is it to escape the war? This is the hinterland of Yizhou, and it is said that there will be no war, is it civil strife?

Zhao Yun was even more nervous: "Lord, something is wrong here!" Lord, stay and wait for the clouds to explore the way. As he spoke, he stepped forward immediately, and immediately beckoned his subordinates to protect Liu Cong in the middle. Because everyone couldn't figure out what was going on, the guards slowed down and grabbed their weapons in one hand and the other, ready to fight at any time.

A group of people rode horses on Langzhong Street with a little nervousness and embarrassment, and the sound of horses' hooves echoed in the streets and alleys. It became more and more unsettling, and gradually, after walking some distance into the city, they faintly heard the sound of screams and metal clashing in the distance. Zhao Yun, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, immediately judged that this was the sound of battle. Fighting? Is there a war in Langzhong? Soon everyone heard the voice.

Zhao Yun looked back at everyone and returned to Liu Cong's side: "Lord, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

"Well, since you run into it, don't avoid it!" Liu Cong came to find Dong He's father and son, and he naturally refused to give up before he saw it.

Everyone decided to find out, and Zhao Yun sent two guards to explore the way, and he and Liao Hua and the others were still in a battle formation to protect Liu Cong in the middle and walk slowly and carefully. The further he went, the more the shouts shook the sky, the last time Liu Cong heard such a big movement in the city was when he led his troops into Jiangling to capture Wu Ju. In Lu Cong's memory, Dong and his father and son are also important ministers of Shu Han, and they are famous ministers.

Historical records record that the powerful in Chengdu County were dissatisfied with Dong He's strict law enforcement, and persuaded Liu Zhang to transfer Dong He to be the governor of the Badong vassal state, and when Dong He was about to leave, thousands of subordinate officials, Li people, and even old and weak women and children came out together, begging to keep Dong He. Liu Zhang allowed Dong He to stay in office for another two years. Two years later, Dong He was promoted to the Taishou of Yizhou County.

Yizhou County is far away from Chengdu in the Nanzhong area, where Han and Yi live together, Dong He is still honest and simple, and when he gets along with the local ethnic minority residents, he can be treated with sincerity, so the people of Nanzhong love and trust him.

Now that Dong He has been in Brazil County for just over a year, there has been a riot in Brazil? Could it be that the butterfly effect produced by his own crossing is so powerful?

An incorruptible official can become brutal and unkind, and even lead to the county*? If this is the case, the joke will be bigger, but if Dong He is greedy, he can win it, and in order to get through this key front, Liu Cong is still willing to make money. It's just that Dong Yun can't use it anymore?

Just when Liu Cong was guessing wildly, the soldiers who were exploring the road in front hurriedly ran back: "Lord, lord, it's not good!" Someone...... Someone is attacking Taishoufu! ”

Is it really a riot? No, why is this Dong He so declining??
