Chapter 443: Go to the enemy territory to greet you
Cao Cao guessed: "He wants me to send troops from Jingzhou to attack Zhang Lu's Hanzhong County, and fight Zhang Lu with him?" ”
"It must be so." Jia Xu said.
"Ridiculous.... Cao Cao snorted: "Liu Zhang sits on a huge Yizhou, with a population of more than 10 million. Money and food are inexhaustible. The 200,000 Yizhou troops under his command are even more dangerous, refusing to defend the city, but they can't defeat Zhang Lu? ”
"Prime Minister, how should this matter be handled?" Jia Xu asked.
"I don't want to see Zhang Song, you go and send him away."
"Why? Don't you want to take Hanzhong and Yizhou? Jia Xu had a clever plan, maybe he could take advantage of the situation to eliminate Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang.
At that time, with the danger of Yizhou, he will definitely be able to resist Yuan Xi. However, Cao Cao said: "We have decided to make a truce for two years to expand our strength. If, at this time, we agree to Zhang Song's request and go to Yizhou to help in the war, then our troops will not get a moment of rest. Even if we were able to capture Yizhou and Hanzhong in the end, it would have been delayed for a year or two. In the past two years, Yuan Xi will become stronger and stronger, and he will go straight to Yanzhou. How can I resist it? ”
"The lesser of two evils. I would rather not take Yizhou and Hanzhong, but also spend two years to expand our strength and reorganize our armaments. As long as in the next big battle, defeat Yuan Xi. There is no rival in the world. Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others will also surrender to the wind, why bother with my army to conquer? What's more, we have to solve the matter of Xiliang and Jingnan immediately, this is my biggest headache now, how can I have time to pay attention to Zhang Song, you go and send him away. "Cao Cao's analysis is extremely thorough.
Jia Xu couldn't argue either. He had to admit that there was a nail like Yuan Xi poking in the Central Plains, threatening Yanzhou all the time.
There are really no extra troops to recruit Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu. Instead of going to Yizhou to waste time and troops, it is better to concentrate on handling the affairs of Xiliang and Jingnan, and make complete preparations for the next big war.
............. In this way, Jia Xu scolded Zhang Song and beat Zhang Song out of Xuchang City.
Zhang Song came to pay tribute, and he represented Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, and was actually driven out of Xuchang. He was so angry that he left that night.
On the way back to Yizhou. Zhuge Liang took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, led 3,000 elite soldiers and horses, crossed Jiangjindu, intercepted Zhang Song in the west of Neijiang, in Jiangling, and invited him to Jingnan as a guest.
It is necessary to know that the boundary of Jiangling is under the jurisdiction of Xu Huang and Zhang Liao. Zhuge Liang went to the enemy-occupied area to greet Zhang Song, which shows his piety.
Zhang Song was invited to Linxiang, the capital of Liu Bei, and was given the highest courtesy. Liu Bei personally accompanied him and treated him as a national soldier.
and chatted with Zhang Song, so happy. this day. All the civil and military are there. The banquet was in full swing.
Zhang Song said: "Now the thieves of the Han Dynasty are bullying the weak and occupying the city of the Han Dynasty, the emperor's uncle is a relative of the Han family, and the name of benevolence and righteousness is well-known in the world, but he can only live here, threatened by Yuan Xi, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan, Zhang Song has a grievance." ”
"What is the grievance in your heart? How can I, Liu Bei, have such a place to live in Jingnan, and I am already satisfied, how dare I hope more? Liu Bei smiled slightly.
Zhang Song poured himself a drink and said: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong, with your eloquence, not to mention occupying the state and county, it is to take Xuchang and live in the imperial court, why not?" The civil and military forces in the hall all looked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei's eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Yongnian, are you drunk?" I, Liu Bei, have been a minister for generations, and I will never dare to judge Han! I just want to use the three-foot sword in my hand to sweep the world and return the government to the Son of Heaven. ”
"Hahaha..." Zhang Song laughed and said: "To this day, there are still people who remember that they are Hanchen, which is really rare." ”
"In my opinion, there is Sun Quan in the east of Jingzhou, who often has the heart of a tiger, Yuan Xi in the north, Cao Cao in the west, and has long been swallowed by whales. If Uncle Huang wants to stand in troubled times, he has to make another plan. Liu Bei sighed: "Of course I know, Jingnan is difficult to protect. But the world is so big, except for Jingnan, how can I have a place to live? Zhang Song hugged his fists and said: "Please forgive Zhang Song's words, Yizhou has hundreds of dangers, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the people are rich in the country, the food is sufficient, the intelligent people in Sichuan, there is no virtue of the emperor uncle in the near future, if the emperor can raise the army of Jingnan, drive the south for a long time, take Shuzhong as the basic, within a few years, the hegemony can be achieved, and the Han dynasty will prosper." Hearing this, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others were all extremely excited.
Zhuge Liang also shook his hand, wanting to persuade Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei took the first step, reprimanded Zhang Song, and said: "Yongnian, I treat you as a national soldier, how can you say such rebellious words? Don't forget, your lord Liu Jiyu is also a relative of the Han family, and I have compatriots, he is now in dire straits, how can I eat flesh and blood and invade his territory? Zhang Song shook his head and said: "Although Liu Jiyu is the lord of Yizhou, he is not the lord of the virtuous monarch. He has a weak temperament and cannot use his talents. There is also Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Shi Si violated. When I came, Zhang Lu's army of 50,000 had already approached the Sword Pavilion. Liu Zhang not only did not resist, but also repeatedly sent people to negotiate with Zhang Lu, wanting to cede the land and pay compensation, and turn the conflict into a jade silk. Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong, wanted to go to the front line with the army, and knelt outside Liu Jiyu's palace for three days. Liu Jiyu only knew how to paint in front of beautiful women, and ignored Zhang Ren. Can such a monarch keep Xichuan? Does he deserve to keep Nishikawa? ”
"Nowadays, the hearts of the people in Shu are scattered, and they can't live in panic, and the emperor doesn't take it, do you want to give it to Zhang Lu? Or do you see Xichuan fall into the hands of Cao Cao? After saying this, Zhang Song glanced at Zhuge Liang and wanted Zhuge Liang to persuade Liu Bei.
However, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that Liu Bei would never be treacherous and seek to seize Xichuan, so he only sighed.
Zhang Song stood up, walked to the front, took out a huge map from his arms, spread it on the ground, and said, "Everyone, please see, this is a detailed map of the twelve counties of Xichuan. It took me three years to paint it, and now I dedicate it to Uncle Huang. The geographical itinerary of Shuzhong, the mountains and rivers, the barracks and military towns, the treasury money and grain, are all in this map. Uncle Huang has it, it is equivalent to getting most of Xichuan, only need to raise 50,000 elite soldiers, go straight up along the water, and in less than two months, you can imphed the capital of Cheng and collect all the twelve counties of Xichuan. ”
"Huh?"
"This..."
"Haha... Okay, with this map, we can capture Xichuan. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals were excited.
"Yes, the terrain in Shuzhong is dangerous, it has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is a million troops, it is difficult to enter, and now there is a detailed map of the twelve counties of Yizhou in Yongnian, and Yizhou is at your fingertips." Zhao Yundao.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but admonish: "My lord, if you are young, you can consider it..." Liu Bei was entangled for a while, stepped forward to put away the map, and said, "Yongnian's kindness, I understand it." But Liu Zhang, the assassin of Yizhou, is my imperial brother, and even if my Liu Bei dies of embarrassment, I will never encroach on his territory.
