In Zhang Song's view, the problem now lies in how much ability Jin Jue, who has grown to this point in a very short period of time, and what kind of method he can think of to solve the problem of insufficient troops on his side.

However, Zhang Song also knew very well that if Liu Zhang refused to surrender directly, the war in Shu County would probably last for a long time.

Since Li Bing's father and son ruled Shu and built Chengdu Jiangyan, Shu County has become a well-known land of fish and rice, the country of abundance, it is no exaggeration to say that the income of Shu County can occupy more than seven or eight percent of the entire Yizhou.

Especially after Liu Yan moved the state to Chengdu City, Liu Zhang enjoyed the dividend. In the four or five years since he succeeded to the history of Yizhou, Shu County has been in good weather, and every day is a good year, which is in very sharp contrast with the area north of the Yangtze River in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition, because of the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a large number of people from Nanyang County, Sanfu and Liangzhou settled here, which made the population of Chengdu City surge significantly, and it has already exceeded 100,000 households.

With such a large population and endless food, in addition, Liu Zhang has been continuously building and improving the city walls of Chengdu over the years, which is not something that Jin Jue, who lacks soldiers and major generals, can make up for with his intelligence.

However, Zhang Song's strategy, coupled with the information that Zhao Wei had just sent, caused a great change in the mentality of Liu Zhang himself and some local officials in the council hall who were not too loyal to Liu Zhang.

At this moment, Liu Zhang really had to think about whether he should surrender to Jin Jue, who had already beaten the soldiers to the doorstep.

However, after all, it is the position of the assassin history of a state, and Liu Zhang must of course think about it carefully.

Therefore, Liu Zhang instructed that the meeting be temporarily suspended and discussed again in the afternoon.

However, what Zhang Song didn't expect was that when the afternoon meeting was held again, the situation changed abruptly.

Except for Zhang Song alone, all the people present were excited, clamoring one by one to lead the troops to fight Jin Jue to the death, and even his eldest brother Zhang Su, a gentleman who has never been too fond of military affairs, also took the initiative to join in.

looked at Liu Zhang, who was sitting in the center, but just looked at everyone's expressions with a smile and listened to everyone's statements, until the end he said: "Okay, your attitude, Gu is clear." In this case, Lone decided to fight to the death with the lame child. ”

Liu Zhang, Zhang Su and the other participants excluded Zhang Song from beginning to end, and did not ask his opinion again at all.

This made Zhang Song suspicious, he didn't know what had happened in just one or two hours, so that Liu Zhang's subordinates who had originally had their own careful thoughts all changed their attitudes, and even his eldest brother was boycotting himself.

So, before Zhang Song could figure out the situation, the afternoon meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting, Liu Zhang made three very important decisions.

First of all, he once again sent reinforcements in the direction of Xindu County, and this time the army sent was the Dongzhou soldiers that he had been holding in his hands and had refused to release easily.

Of course, Liu Zhang also took into account the problems mentioned by Zhang Song before, he asked people to conduct a special screening of the Dongzhou soldiers in Chengdu City, and singled out the Nanyang soldiers among them, and after gathering enough 20,000 people, under the leadership of two young generals in Shuzhong, Wu Lan and Lei Tong, immediately set off to Xindu County to assist Ling Bao and Fei Guan to continue to attack Xindu County.

The strategic intention was very obvious, and Liu Zhang hoped that the 50,000-strong army would be able to capture Xindu County, the closest county seat to Chengdu City, before Jin Jue's army entered Guanghan County.

Try to push the battle line out of Chengdu City.

Fei Guan, the word Binbo, a native of Jiangxia, is a fellow villager with Liu Zhang, and he is also the father of Fei Yi, one of the four ministers of the Shu Han Dynasty. Liu Zhang's mother, Fei Guan's aunt, and at the same time, because Liu Yan married her daughter to Fei Guan. Therefore, Fei Guan is both Liu Zhang's cousin and Liu Zhang's brother-in-law. After Liu Zhang inherited the history of Yizhou, he immediately sent an envoy to Jiangxia County to meet them, and Fei Guan entered Shu with his brother Fei Boren.

Therefore, as the supervisor of the former army, the suspicious Liu Zhang was very relieved of this army.

Then, Zhang Su was once again put to use, and together with Wang Lei, he began to deal with the urgent affairs of the state—he began to recruit troops in the city, train new soldiers, provide food, grass, and ordnance to the front.

In the end, Liu Zhang immediately sent a messenger to Langzhong County to inform Zhang Ren and the others of the next task.

Liu Zhang ordered Liu Bi, who had lost Anhan County, to continue to hold on to Langzhong County, and Zhang Ren's subordinates could only leave him 10,000 Shu soldiers to garrison, while Pang Xi and Wu Yi immediately returned to their respective counties, while Zhang Ren and Huang Quan immediately led the remaining troops to return to Chengdu immediately after receiving the letter.

Liu Zhang and his subordinates all believed that since Jin Jue's army had led the army to take the initiative to jump out of Ba County and enter Keguanghan County, even if he still had an army to guard in Langzhong County, he would definitely have taken it under the attack of tens of thousands of troops such as Zhang Ren and others.

As for Zhang Song, Liu Zhang did not imprison him again this time, but he did not activate him again.

Although Zhang Song's attitude towards Liu Zhang has changed, and his suggestion is to let Liu Zhang do nothing and surrender directly to Jin Jue, many of what Zhang Song said still have very important inspiration for Liu Zhang's next move.

Zhang Su hurriedly left with Wang Lei, and Zhang Song found that he didn't even have a person to talk to.

Lonely back to his home, he walked into his study alone, Zhang Song was stunned to find that there was actually someone in his study, and he was also a person he didn't expect.

This person is the Zhang Yu who Liu Zhang has been sending people to search for before, but has never been able to find him, Zhang Yu is the brother of Zhang Su and Zhang Song.

The Zhang clan is a prominent clan in Shu County, and many of them serve under Liu Zhang. However, although Zhang Ren is also from Shu County, he is not from Zhang Su's family.

"Nanhe, how are you ......?"

Zhang Song was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Yu waving his hand, only to hear him ask: "Ziqiao, aren't you very strange, why did Liu Yuanjun and Junjiao change their attitude towards Jin Juejun in the meeting just now, yes or no?" ”

"Not bad!" Hearing this, Zhang Song nodded and replied.

"Hehehe, the reason is actually very simple. Ziqiao, I'm afraid you can't imagine that Jin Jue actually sent troops to various townships in Shu County to wantonly kill the crown clan in my Shu. Many family members or relatives of officials and subordinates in Chengdu were killed. Zhang Yu laughed three times and replied.
