In the camp of Mianzhu.

"What do you think should be done now?" Liu Zhang asked.

His face is not very good now.

After all, the loss of Wudu City will not affect a matter of half a star, let alone what happened in the land of Hanzhong.

Originally.

He was in Chengdu, waiting for news.

But yesterday, the envoy who was sent to the land of Hanzhong to discuss the union with Zhang Lu rushed back, and what he brought back was not good news, but bad news. 、

A Qin army of thousands appeared in the land of Hanzhong, and also captured Nanzheng, and Zhang Lu died in the chaos.

Although this Qin army captured Nanzheng City, it did not stay in the city longer, and after repairing it, it left Nanzheng City directly, and even ignored all the surrendered troops.

Therefore.

guessed that this Qin army must be heading straight for Wudu.

It is worried that something will happen to Wudu.

Liu Zhang personally led the 20,000 troops stationed in Chengdu to come, preparing to rush to Wudu to support, but it was still too late, and he arrived in Mianzhu, and he had already met Zhang Ren and others who had fled and returned.

In this way, there is no point in continuing to rush to Wudu.

Now all that needs to be considered is how to deal with the next thing, you know, the Qin army will not be satisfied with taking the Wudu.

Heard Liu Zhang's question.

The Yizhou officials who followed were also silent.

The current state of affairs is not very good, Wudu has been lost, and there are problems in Hanzhong, even if they add Zhang Ren and other remnants of the fleeing soldiers, there are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

From Zhang Ren's mouth, they knew that the 100,000 Qin army did not have much consumption.

In such a situation, how to resist?

"Lord, it's better for me to withdraw to Chengdu first, and then make plans!" One man stepped forward and suggested.

Someone spoke.

"Lord, his subordinates don't approve of it, now that Wudu has been lost, Hanzhong has nothing to do, the Qin army has become a general trend, and if you want to block the menacing Qin army, it is nothing more than a mantis arm blocking the car, and now the only way out is to show surrender to Qin Xiangguo!" The other man also stepped forward and bowed his hand.

Everyone saw that the person who spoke was Zhang Song and Zhang Ziqiao, and he was not allowed to take up a position.

In the past, when the imperial court issued the will to apply for the imperial court, Zhang Song had such a proposal, expressing his submission to the imperial court, but it was not recognized by most people.

I didn't expect it to be mentioned again now.

And the current situation is also different, so that the officials who had opposed it before are now hesitating.

"Could it be that Lord Zhang is Qin Yin's lackey? You must know that after the lord is a member of the Han family, although the current court, although His Majesty is in control, it is not Qin Yin who covers the sky with one hand, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this is a thief, why should we give in! Zhang Ren stood up and shouted angrily at Zhang Song.

He didn't care about the situation.

Zhang Song's proposal made him feel very unhappy.

You must know that they are all under Liu Zhang's command, not Qin Yin's subordinates, and now they are in a predicament, and they don't help their own lord to share the burden, but they still want to take refuge in the enemy, if Liu Zhang is not here, he would want to raise his sword and cut Zhang Song.

"Hmph, does that General Zhang have a plan to retreat the Qin army?" Zhang Song snorted angrily.

Zhang Ren disobeyed him, and he also disagreed with Zhang Ren.

Look at the situation of the two.

Liu Zhang frowned, but did not speak.

And the rest of the officials are the same.

"We can retreat to Chengdu, with the prestige of the lord in Yizhou, we can mobilize the people in the city to help defend the city, Qin Yin led the army to attack the land of Yizhou, and the rest of the princes can't watch Qin Yin grow stronger, as long as they stick to it, they must have a chance to turn defeat into victory, if not, their subordinates are willing to fight to the death!" Zhang Ren said with a firm face.

But the last sentence was said to Liu Zhang.

"Fight to the death?" Zhang Song smiled and said disdainfully: "General Zhang said lightly, Qin Xiangguo still has more than 100,000 troops in Chang'an, even if the rest of the princes move troops against the Qin army, will it take a month, or two months, or will it take longer?" And let the people help defend the city, how many people will die at that time? ”

In the tone, there is also a questioning mood.

If there was a chance of winning, he wouldn't say much, but in the current situation, there is no chance of winning at all, and there is no need to think much about how to decide.

Hearing Zhang Song's question.

Zhang Ren was also stunned, his face was flushed, he was annoyed, but he couldn't refute it.

After all, it is really hard to say whether the rest of the princes will use troops against Qin Yin, and even if they do, Chang'an still has more than 100,000 Qin troops, which is enough to deal with many problems.

And will they be able to hold out that long?

Besides, it was not easy to get the people to help defend the city.

"Lord, General Zhang!" Zhang Song arched his hand at the two of them, and continued: "It's not that I want to surrender to Qin Yin, but the current situation, only in this way, can we reduce casualties, and now the situation in the army, everyone knows, because the military capital is lost, the soldiers are panicked, in such a state, how to resist the momentum of the Qin army?" ”

"What's more, the current trend is like this, even if the Qin army does not come to attack, it is difficult to guarantee that another prince will come to attack, don't you know? I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, I just follow the trend! ”

After speaking.

sat back directly, obviously not going to say anything more, but waiting for Liu Zhang's decision.

Hear out.

Everyone in the room fell silent.

They all knew that the princes divided the states and counties and occupied one side, even if they didn't have too many ideas in Yizhou, the rest of the princes would not think like this.

Qin Yin is one of them.

But it was by no means the last.

The same.

Liu Zhang was also silent, frowning, and his face was hesitant.

He doesn't have much ambition, and he still has a certain amount of care for the people of Yizhou, as Zhang Song said, he will not agree to gather the people to defend the city, adding casualties.

And Zhang Song was not wrong.

After meeting with Zhang Ren and others, the morale of the army was greatly weakened because of the knowledge that Wudu had been lost.

Without morale, what will be done there?

The expression on his face is also changing, and he looks very entangled.

See here.

A group of officials, including Zhang Song and Zhang Ren, did not speak, waiting quietly.

Long.

"This matter will be left to Zhang Beijia, and the rest of the people will be on standby here!" Liu Zhang sighed and said.

After speaking.

He walked out of the big tent directly, without giving everyone a chance to answer.

Let Zhang Song deal with it, it has already explained his decision, although he doesn't want to, but now there is no chance to reverse the situation.
