Chapter 186: Faithfulness and Trustworthiness
After Zhang Su heard Fazheng's warning, he returned to his house to pay close attention to Zhang Song, entered his study and searched it, and for several days in a row, there was nothing unusual, and Zhang Song seemed to be the same as usual, no different. I thought to myself, after Liu Bei entered Sichuan, I was paying attention to his movements.
Liu Zhang got Meng Da's letter here, came back to tell him, and prepared to go to greet him.
Liu Zhang's subordinates, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Liu Ba, and Li Hui were all advised not to go to greet him, for fear of accidents.
Liu Zhang was angry, "I am a relative of the same clan, and I am in the land of Yizhou, what happened?" β
Huang Quan said: "The lord is going, if he sees it, he will be harmed by Liu Bei, eat the king's lu, and can't bear the traitor's plan in the lord, and think twice!" β
On the side, Zhang Song had long ignored these old ministers of Yizhou, and sowed discord and said: "Lord, Huang Quan's words, the ease of spacing the clan and breeding the power of thieves!" It's not good for us in Nishikawa. β
When Liu Zhang heard this, he scolded: "My will has been decided, why should you disobey me!" β
Immediately, Liu Zhang asked people to pull Huang Quan down, and the other Li Hui, Wang Lei and others all stepped forward to stop them, Liu Zhang ignored them and went out all the way.
Jingzhou, Jiangling
Liu Bei summoned everyone, "I will leave for Yizhou, the important land of Jingzhou, and I must not lose it." It is necessary to leave troops here to guard against the attack of the Cao clan in Jiangdong. β
Shi Yue also hesitated, should you go? I'm afraid that Fa is on Liu Zhang's side, and I can't get him. Don't you go? It's not easy to defend here, if I stay and Sun and Cao attack from both sides, I can't hold it, and I will lose my life.
Kong Ming said: "I stay here, the lord can rest assured." β
Liu Bei said: "It will be handed over to Kong Ming to guard, and the military division can lead Yunchang and Zilong to guard Jiangling, and Xiangyang has wings to defend it." Pan Feng, Wei Yan, and Huang Zhong will follow me into Sichuan, and they will join the army tomorrow! β
Shi Yue doesn't care, just go, if you can't beat Kong Ming, you can't call Kong Ming.
On this side of Jingzhou, Kong Ming and Guan Yu guarded Jiangling, Zhao Yun patrolled the four counties of Jiangjiang, and Zhang Fei guarded it with Xu Shu in Xiangyang. On the trip to Yizhou, Huang Zhong was the front, Wei Yan was the rear army, and Liu Bei, Liu Feng, and Guan Ping were in the Chinese army.
Shi Yue was the military advisor, with 50,000 horse infantry, set off for Xichuan, and led Liao Hua to go with him before leaving.
Yizhou
Liu Zhang learned that Liu Bei had entered Sichuan, and went to Fucheng to meet him, and reported to Liu Bei to the prefectures and counties he had passed through, and provided money and grain. Liu Bei led the army to Dianjiang, and everywhere he went, there was really a supply of food.
Liu Bei ordered, "Wait for the order, don't take anything from the people of Yizhou, if you carry it, you will be beheaded." β
Shi Yue took the bite fruit in his hand and was shocked to see it, why did you say it earlier, Lao Tzu has bitten it! "Give it back to you, nothing happened."
So everywhere he went, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the people came out to watch, and saw that Uncle Liu Huang, who was famous all over the world.
Meng Da drove his horse in front of Shi Yue and whispered: "Liu Zhang wants to meet the lord in Fucheng, you can figure it!" β
Yes? When Shi Yue heard this, he thought to himself that it would definitely not work, Boss Cao would have a reason to kill people and attack the city, not to mention Liu Datou, who was known for his benevolence and righteousness. If Lao Tzu directly ruined his reputation, I could change jobs.
"No, the lord is here, just like it, he will be rebelled by the people of Yizhou one day, I can't say this, I have my own plans." Have a head plan.
Fucheng is more than 300 miles away from Chengdu, and Liu Zhang has arrived and asked someone to pick him up. Both armies were stationed on the Fujiang River.
Liu Bei brought important ministers in and saw Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was waiting at the city gate, and Liu Bei saw it, so he stepped forward and greeted him. "It's a good thing to see my brother today. I heard that Brother Ji Yu had already found the intention of worshipping each other, but I didn't dare to enter Sichuan to see each other, so I was summoned by Brother Ji Yu, and then came here. Liu Bei said in a beautiful voice.
Liu Zhang returned the favor with courtesy, invited him into the city, and had already held a banquet to entertain him.
The two cried at the banquet and complained about their love.
Shi Yue didn't bother to pay attention to them, both of them were either fake, or one was fake. But if you think about it carefully, Boss Cao's acting skills are really not as good as yours. Shi Yue looked around, and the people led by Liu Zhang, looking at the appearance of the public, did not see the Fazheng, and his heart was confused.
After the banquet, Liu Bei and the others returned to the village.
Liu Zhang smiled and said to the officials: "It's ridiculous that Huang Quan, Wang Ti and others don't know the heart of the clan brother, and they are suspicious. There is no such thing as seeing it now, and there is true benevolence and righteousness! If you get help, you will be able to retreat Zhang Lu and Cao Jun. β
Immediately rewarded Zhang Song and asked people to give it to Chengdu.
At this time, Liu Zhang's subordinate generals Liu Xuan, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian and other civil and military attachΓ©s said: "The lord is not happy first, Liu Bei's actions today are ingenious to win people's hearts, and his true intentions are unfathomable, and it is better to prevent it." β
Zhang smiled and said, "You are all worried. How can my brother have two hearts! With that, he got up and left.
Everyone is worried, and they can't be persuaded. Liu Bi looked at Fa Zheng opposite, "Filial piety!" You are also the one who persuaded the lord to be wary of Liu Bei, and came here with the lord, why did you talk to each other? β
Fa Zheng looked at him, "It's useless for us to persuade him, and no one believes it at this moment." Instead of thinking about how to persuade, you should think about how to deal with Liu Bei. β
After speaking, I left here.
Jicheng
Ma Chao has been attacking this place for a long time, and he is finally about to break it.
Yang Fu asked people to sneak here to ask for reinforcements, but the man was killed. Everyone in the city was shocked, and they all had the intention of surrendering.
Yang Fu advised everyone, "I led the children of the clan to defend it for a long time, and now I am going to surrender to it, I am sorry for their death, I am willing to defend it to the death." β
Wei Kang said: "If the reinforcements don't come here for a long time, they will eventually be broken." But if he does not come, he will break through the city one day, and the people will be slaughtered, and we will come down today for the sake of the people. β
Everyone agreed, ignoring Yang Fu, and followed Wei Kang to the city gate, where Wei Kang talked to Ma Chao and asked him to make an oath that the Xiliang army would not kill anyone in the city.
Ma Chao agreed, and Wei Kang immediately ordered everyone to open the city and surrender.
Ma Chao and Yang Ang led the army into the city, and then arrested Yang Yue, who was defending the city and leading the army, and also arrested Wei Kang, who was the leader.
Wellcome was furious, "You treacherous!! Have you forgotten what you said? β
Ma Chao replied, "Where did I break my trust, my Xiliang Army didn't do anything." β
Yang Ang came with a knife, "It's the Chinese army of Wu Han who did it." "Say, kill Wellon.
Ma Chao then appeased the people in the city, "It is not good for Wei Kang to defend the city!" I didn't hurt him, but General Yang Ang couldn't get used to such courtiers, and he killed him personally, and everyone was not afraid, and he wouldn't hurt you! β
Yang Fu had a sense of revenge, but his strength was limited, so he found an opportunity one day, took leave, and asked to bury his deceased wife, Ma Chao followed, and Yang Fu left.
Licheng
Yang Fu fled to his brother Jiang Xu's house here, crying about the situation.
Jiang Xu soothed: "It's not that my brother doesn't want to help, this Xiliang army is brave, and it is not my army that can defeat it." β
Yang Fuyan said: "Brother, listen to me, this Xiliang army is not the Xiliang army of the past, it is all formed by the Qiang people and the Hanzhong army, Ma Chao is not trustworthy, his subordinates are full of contradictions, and the three armies are actually not in harmony, so they can't capture my Jicheng for a long time." β
"If my brother is willing to send troops to fight, he will be able to retreat!"
When Jiang Xu heard this, he was afraid in his heart and didn't dare to believe it.
At this time, his mother came out to persuade Jiang Xu, "Wu'er, you are a national general, the country is in trouble, you don't serve the country, why stay here, Fu'er leads the clan to fight, and now the family is in the enemy camp, and you don't forget to report it, what face do you have to call your brother." β
Jiang Xu listened to his mother's persuasion and made up his mind, "Okay! So I fought with my brother, and then I contacted all the people of the city, and gathered the soldiers, though thou shalt slay the enemy. β
Yang Fu thanked him, "Please go to Chang'an with a letter, inform General Xiahou Yuan, and send troops to help." β
Changan
Xiahou Yuan had already received the letter and returned to Chang'an with the book, but there has been no news. Today, I got the book of Yang Fu again, and Jizhou has fallen.
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said to everyone: "I can't wait, Xu Du is complicated, back and forth is far away, if people are asking back, I'm afraid they will attack Chang'an!" This will lead troops to help! β
As he was talking, he had to report, "General! There is an army to help us, and the word is ordered. β
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly went out to meet, but he didn't know who came to help.
"Hebei is pacified, Zhang He comes to help."
