"Also, in case there is a shortage of troops in the city, my son authorizes you to temporarily recruit strong men in the city directly from the county seat." Jin Jue finally added.

Before Wei Yan and Yang Ren led the army into Ba County, Jin Jue had repeatedly instructed them that when they arrived in Ba County, they would not dare to be hostile to the local people, and they must strictly enforce military discipline and do their best to do nothing in the autumn. However, this principle was limited to the ordinary people in the area controlled by the Jin Jue army, and the local wealthy clans, especially those with great public anger and poor reputation, were directly sent to sweep them away.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the local wealthy families not only occupied a large amount of cultivated land, but also the vast majority of these cultivated lands could not pay a grain of grain to the imperial court, a penny of taxes, and more seriously, the local families and wealthy families could even establish private armies and build strong walls, which provided conditions for the warlords to fight in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It can be said that the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, did not kill a single meritorious hero, and stabilized the hearts of these people by rewarding the founding heroes, but left endless hidden dangers to the successors of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's just that the situation is urgent now, and Jin Jue doesn't want to leak the fact that he led the second wave of troops into Ba County, so he gave Fu Tong the right to act when he sees the opportunity.

At the same time, as Jin Jue said and estimated, at Huang Quan's suggestion, Liu Zhangjun was holding back his big move, preparing to gather heavy troops from various counties and surprise attack Langzhong County, cutting off the return route of Jin Jue's army in Ba County in one fell swoop. Block the passage of Jin Jue's army from Micang Road to Ba County again.

This trick is not ruthless.

However, there are three reasons why Liu Zhangjun has been preparing for so long.

The first reason is that Liu Zhang's reinforcements are too slow.

The sooner Jin Jue's army is driven out of Ba County and back to Hanzhong County, the less threat Jin Jue's army poses to Yizhou. Of course, Liu Zhang understood this truth, otherwise, he would not have agreed immediately after reading the suggestion sent by Huang Quan urgently.

Only then was Zhang Lujun able to gather the remnants of the army and join forces with the army led by Zhang Ren in Anhan County.

However, Liu Zhang was not in a dilemma, because if he sent a large number of troops from Chengdu, it would also mean that he would weaken his own defense in Chengdu at the same time.

In Yizhou, Liu Zhang's enemies are not only Jin Jue's forces, he not only has to guard against Zhang Lu, but also against Zhao Wei. Compared with the strength that Jin Juejun currently shows in Ba County, it is actually far less threatening than Zhao Wei to Liu Zhang.

Zhao Wei is currently gathering troops in Yongning County, and his county governance Jiangzhou is directly below Anhan County, if he merges with Jin Jue's army, Zhang Ren has the possibility of annihilation of the whole army at any time; If he suddenly led his troops to attack Chengdu, Liu Zhang's own situation would be dangerous. Moreover, Liu Zhang knows better that the Dongzhou soldiers left behind by his father Liu Yan have stirred up the entire Yizhou chickens and dogs, and the people of Yizhou are miserable, if Zhao Wei suddenly raises troops at this time, what should he do?

Therefore, after Zhang Ren and Huang Quan sent three letters of help to Chengdu one after another, Liu Zhang had to send Liu Bi to lead another 10,000 Shu soldiers to reinforce Zhang Ren.

Note that this is still the Shu soldiers, not the Dongzhou soldiers directly controlled by Liu Zhang.

This army established by his father is the elite of Yizhou in this period, the iron core of Liu Zhang, and the capital that allows him to settle down and take over the history of Yizhou.

The second reason is because of Liu Shan.

Because of Liu Shan's prudence, he sent a large number of scouts every day to search for traces of enemy troops that might appear at any time ten miles outside the county boundary of Langzhong County, so this added a lot of difficulties to Huang Quan's plan to raid Langzhong County.

According to the battle plan formulated by Huang Quan, Zhang Ren personally led 10,000 Shu soldiers, bypassing Chongguo County and going north to Langzhong County, while Wu Yi of Guanghan County sent at least half of the soldiers, that is, 5,000 people, and the same was true of Pang Xi, the Taishou of Guling County.

After listening to Huang Quan's request, the two agreed, and patted their chests and said that the two of them would personally lead the army to the battle.

As a result, I don't know why, Liu Zhang's three-way strange soldiers have been gathered, but, I don't know why, the reinforcements promised by the Ban Yu barbarians have not appeared for a long time. Huang Quan sent people again, but this time, he couldn't even enter the other party's camp.

That's the third reason.

At this juncture, Jin Jue led the army into Ba County.

In this way, Jin Jue assigned the respective responsibilities of the generals, and he took his personal guards to the West City Gate of Langzhong County, and under the leadership of the little scout, he carefully came to the valley that could be used to hide the army.

In ancient times, there were many wild beasts in the wilderness, but fortunately, Jin Jue's army has always had the habit of taking Orions with the army. After the army entered the valley, the soldiers, led by the hunters, cleared the valley of wild beasts that might threaten everyone's safety, while it was still dark.

"Childe, will Liu Zhangjun really gather troops to attack Langzhong County?" These words were asked by the little scout, is there only Yang Ang by Jin Jue's side at the moment, and this general trusts Jin Jue's judgment more than ordinary soldiers.

Along the way, Jin Jue took this little scout with him, and the little scout got along with Jin Jue for a long time, and he didn't think this little boy was terrible, so when he spoke, he became casual.

Jin Jue didn't think it was a pestle, after all, this little scout was only one year older than the age of his body in terms of grade, but in fact he was still a childish second-year young man. And Jin Jue's own spiritual age is uncle-level.

"If you were the general of Liu Zhang's army, what would you think of to defeat General Wei or Fu Sima? Yang Sima, and a few of you also think about it, in addition to the answer that Ben Gongzi thought of, do you have any other methods? Jin Jue didn't answer his question directly, but asked rhetorically at the little scout and the guards around him.

After speaking, Jin Jue looked at the little scout scratching his cheeks with interest, and couldn't help laughing.

"Childe, you can laugh if you want! The villain's mind was empty, and after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that there is really no other good way except the method you said. The little scout is not smart, but he is quite good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Jin Jue's forced smile, he replied without any embarrassment.

Everyone else shook their heads.
