No. 376 Liu Zhang's final response
It turned out that after Zhang Ren and Huang Quan returned, Liu Zhang was taken aback after Huang Quan and Zhang Ren sent Ba County and the information they found about Guanghan County along the way.
Liu Zhang himself never imagined that the situation in the entire Yizhou would collapse so seriously.
This time, Liu Zhang actually changed his normal behavior, and after a short period of thought, he did not ask anyone's opinion again, and he made up his mind to recapture Xindu County, the last barrier in the north of Chengdu City, as soon as possible.
Therefore, Liu Zhang immediately appointed Zhang Ren as the general of the reinforcements, appointed Liu Bi, who had lost Anhan County and fled back from injury, as the deputy general, and immediately led 30,000 Dongzhou soldiers to the front line of Xindu to assist Fei Guan and Ling Bao to recapture the county seat of Xindu County as soon as possible.
At the same time, Liu Zhang appointed Huang Quan as the lieutenant of the northern part of the county, and only gave 10,000 Shu soldiers to be stationed in Niuyang County, where they could block possible reinforcements from Zhao Yun's army or Jin Jue's army, so as to prevent them from attacking Chengdu from the east.
On the surface, Liu Zhang's appointment of Huang Quan is a sign of trust in him.
However, in the conference hall at that time, only two people saw the deep meaning of Liu Zhang's move.
Liu Zhang has become suspicious of Huang Quan, or rather, he no longer trusts Huang Quan as much as he used to.
Since Zhang Su introduced Huang Quan to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang's trust and reuse of Huang Quan are well known.
Huang Quan also did not live up to Liu Zhang's trust in him, and repeatedly offered 'clever plans', and has always tried his best to turn the situation around for Liu Zhangjun.
For example, at the beginning, Huang Quan suggested that in Hanzhong County, when Zhang Lu had a big war with an unknown force, Liu Zhang should take the initiative to attack and send heavy troops to attack the part of Ba County controlled by Zhang Lu and block the passage between Ba County and Hanzhong County - Micang Road.
As a result, Liu Zhang adopted Huang Quan's suggestion, but it was only part of the suggestion.
Liu Zhang sent Yizhou soldier Cao to lead the troops in Zhang Ren, which shows that he attaches great importance to Huang Quan's strategy, but when he sent troops, he still made a big discount.
In order to guard against Zhao Wei, Liu Zhang not only sent Shu soldiers to Zhang Ren, but also the number of this Shu army was seriously insufficient, only 20,000 people.
Later, Jin Jue's army attacked too sharply and too quickly, almost as soon as Zhang Lu and his remnants fled into Ba County, within a few days, the vanguard troops sent by Jin Jue entered Ba County, and also captured Langzhong County and Chongguo County, which were originally controlled by Zhang Lu.
It's not that Zhang Lujun is too wasteful, but that they have become frightened birds and lost dogs.
Zhang Lu originally wanted to stick to Langzhong County, but as soon as his generals and soldiers saw Wei Yan and his elite Yellow Turban soldiers armed with gold-armed crossbows, they immediately dispersed.
If Zhang Lu was still stupid enough to stay in the city, in the end, he could only be arrested with a few cronies in front of Wei Yan.
If, at that time, Zhang Lu was facing Cao Cao or Liu Bei, even if it was Liu Zhang, the enemy who killed his mother, Zhang Lu would definitely surrender, but in this world, the only one he was unwilling to surrender to and could not surrender to was Jin Jue.
This naturally entrusts the old yellow scarf and Chen Gong's blessing who don't know whether to live or die now, even if Jin Jue denies it, he bears the name of the reincarnated heavenly master, Zhang Lu would rather commit suicide or be killed than surrender to Jin Jue's army.
It was at this time that Huang Quan took the initiative to propose to Liu Zhang to join forces with Zhang Lujun to deal with Jin Juejun together.
After several considerations, Liu Zhang finally agreed, and he also sent Liu Bi to lead 20,000 Shu soldiers to Anhan County to reinforce Zhang Ren. It's 20,000 again!
Unexpectedly, during this period, Zhang Ren kept Huang Quan's advice, because he looked down on Zhang Lu and Jin Juejun, before Liu Zhang's reply and reinforcements were not sent back, he was in a hurry to attack and led 20,000 Shu soldiers to attack Chongguo County immediately.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren himself was not angry, and he was defeated in the field battle to Wei Yan, who had only half of Zhang Ren's troops.
Later, when the reinforcements arrived, Zhang Ren and the Shu soldiers, who had been greatly frustrated by Wei Yan, still suffered a big defeat in the second field battle of Chongguo County, even though Liu Zhang's army attacked Wei Yan's headquarters with three times the force.
At this time, Zhang Rencai had to bow his head and take the initiative to admit his mistake to Huang Quan.
And Huang Quan didn't care about these, at that time, he proposed that since the strength of the generals of Jin Jue's army in Chongguo County in person was so strong, they had already avoided the real and made up for nothing, and united with Wu Yi of Guanghan County, Pang Xi of Guling County, Zhang Ren and Zhang Lu Quartet of troops, and targeted another stronghold of Jin Jue's army in Ba County - Langzhong County, and attacked the county seat of Langzhong County by surprise with surprise soldiers.
If Jin Jue hadn't arrived in time and discovered the clues of this sneak attack, even if Fu Tong had 30,000 defenders in his hands at that time, it was very likely that the city would be broken by the four-way coalition army in the first wave of sneak attack.
At this time, Huang Quan's clever plan became a turning point for the complete collapse of the entire situation of Liu Zhangjun.
First of all, under Jin Jue's reminder, Fu Tong's troops in Langzhong County were actually weakened compared to before.
Because, Jin Jue used the recruits he had just recruited from Hanzhong County to replace the 10,000 veterans that Fu Tong had brought from Hanzhong County before. It is an indisputable fact that the basic quality of soldiers is not high in defending the city, but the garrison in the city has been reduced by two or three percent.
However, because he had precautions in advance, Fu Tong tried his best to block the sneak attack of the four-way army, and stuck Huang Quan and them to the bottom of Langzhong City.
And Guanghan County, which was drained of a large number of troops, and Anhan County, the nest of Zhang Ren and others, were successively occupied by Jin Jue and the Banyu barbarians of Danqu County.
Fighting and not being able to fight, except for Pang Xi, the other three parties involved in the battle of Langzhong County lost their original advantages.
In desperation, he could only take the initiative to retreat.
It can be said that without Huang Quan's 'clever plan', no matter how bold Jin Jue is, he would not dare to rashly lead troops into the south of Guanghan County and seize several barriers north of Chengdu City when his troops are insufficient.
Judging from the results alone, it was indeed this 'clever plan' offered by Huang Quan that provided an opportunity for Jin Jue to lead the army to attack Jinzhuguan and other places.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Zhang, who has always been suspicious, will continue to trust Huang Quan, so is there a ghost?
After Zhang Song guessed it, he just sneered on the side, he himself was still suspicious and suspicious of Liu Zhang, and he would only go to speak for Huang Quan when he was full. Now that I think about it, Zhang Song would have to thank Fa Zheng who betrayed him a lot from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for this friend, he would still be like his eldest brother, stupidly continuing to plan for Liu Zhang?
After Huang Quan received the appointment and order, not only did he not say a word, but he didn't even say hello to his benefactor, and immediately left Chengdu City with his troops.
