Fa Zheng looked into the distance, figuring out Liu Bei's intentions.

Yang Xiu asked, "Has Fa Gong gotten any news, and who does Liu Bei take as his general?" ”

"I don't need to investigate at all to know that he will appoint Jiang Wei." Fa Zheng said: "Jiang Wei was the talent selected by Zhuge Liang that year, and he has been under his account when he arrived in Yizhou, not to mention that he is still a really capable person, how could Zhuge Liang not recommend him?" ”

"Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang so much?" Yang Xiu said: "Isn't he worried that Zhuge Liang's merits will be high and the lord will take away all his power long ago?" ”

"Back then, I didn't recognize people clearly, and I thought Liu Bei was a master." Fa Zheng sighed and said: "I thought that I really voted for him, only to find that he didn't know how to thank him for kindness at all." Most of the people who have helped him have no real power, but Zhuge Liang, I don't know what method he used, he actually asked Liu Bei to willingly entrust the power to him. ”

"Zhuge Liang must have his superiority." Yang Xiu replied: "Don't think too much about the Fagong, this time when we come to Yizhou, we just need to break Liu Bei, except for Liu Bei's head, the rest will be handed over to the lord." ”

"The Lord believes in me, and how can I disappoint him?" Fa Zheng replied: "Liu Bei killed my whole family, it was the lord who gave me the opportunity to take revenge, I have nothing to repay, I can only take Yizhou as a thank you gift!" ”

"If this thank-you gift from the Fa Gong is in hand, it will be very heavy!" Yang Xiu said with a smile: "Just out of the mountain, since the enemy army is nowhere to be seen, how about a few drinks between Fagong and me tonight?" ”

"Alcohol in the army?" Fa Zheng looked at Yang Xiu in astonishment.

"I don't have it in the army, but I do." Yang Xiu replied: "It's just that there isn't much wine, it's not enough to get drunk, you can only taste it." ”

"If Dezu wants to drink, just drink it." Fa Zheng said: "If you don't break Yizhou, I swear not to drink!" ”

Fa Zheng said decisively, and Yang Xiu did not doubt his determination at all.

He bowed to Fa Zheng: "Since Fa Gong doesn't drink, I don't drink either." Keep the wine, and when the French Gong takes Yizhou, we will add some more to get drunk! ”

"I hit it off with Dezu at first sight!" Fa Zheng slapped Yang Xiu's arm with a smile: "Just rely on Dezu, wait until you capture Yizhou, and then we will get drunk together!" ”

Fa Zheng led the army out of Micang Mountain, and Liu Bei and Jiang Wei also led the soldiers and horses to Langzhong.

Langzhong is located in the middle reaches of the Jialing River, surrounded by water on three sides, where the Bashan Mountains and the Jianmen Mountains are intertwined, respectively from northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest.

In addition, the terrain of Langzhong is mostly distributed in echelons, and it is an excellent place for defense no matter where you choose.

Led the army to Langzhong, looking at the city wall from afar, Liu Bei asked Jiang Wei: "Where does Boyo plan to deploy defenses?" ”

"I'm going to divide the army into three." Jiang Wei replied: "General Wang led a group of soldiers and horses to enter Langzhong City with His Majesty, and I led a group of soldiers and horses to be stationed on Jianmen Mountain, while General Liao led another army to garrison Bashan and handed over the Jialing River in the middle to Fazheng. ”

"Living and dying against the mountains and waters, Boyo is trying to push Fazheng into a desperate situation." After all, Liu Bei has also led troops for many years, and Jiang Wei only said his plan, and he immediately understood the essentials of such a deployment.

"Your Majesty Mingjian!" Jiang Wei replied: "Fazheng has more soldiers and horses than our army, and if he forcibly attacks, our army is not his opponent at all." The army is divided into three groups, one of which echoes each other in the shape of horns, and the other side can send cavalry to harass the enemy. It's just that this assignment is really wronged Your Majesty. ”

"What grievances can I have?" Liu Bei said: "I am in the city, and you and Liao Hua are outside the city, in comparison, I am more stable." ”

"Your Majesty is in Langzhong City, the food and accommodation are indeed better, and you can bear more." Jiang Wei said: "When Fa Zheng comes here, he will definitely attack with all his strength to try to break through Langzhong City. I was outside the city with General Liao, but it was much easier. The success or failure of this battle is related to the survival of Yizhou, and I have no better way to lead the army to resist the enemy entrusted by His Majesty. I have caused trouble to Your Majesty, and I beg your forgiveness! ”

"It was I who killed Fazheng's entire family, and of course he came to take revenge to break through Langzhong." Liu Bei replied: "When I thought of the pro-conquest, I also thought that once I saw the pro-conquest, Fa Zheng might be out of order. In this way, it is easier for Boyo to respond. ”

Liu Bei said that he had such thoughts, Jiang Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please take care, unless you have to, you must not go to the city to watch the battle!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured!" Liu Bei nodded in response.

When they came to Langzhong City, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua did not enter the city, and each led a group of men and horses to Jianmen Mountain and Bashan.

Liu Bei was escorted by Wang Ping into Langzhong City.

The geographical location of Langzhong is important, and the waterway is developed, and many merchants come from all over the country along the waterway.

After Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister.

Zhuge Liang has worked hard for many years, and all parts of Yizhou have developed.

In particular, Langzhong, with the advantages of waterway shipping, has quickly become one of the most developed places in Yizhou.

If it weren't for the news that Fa Zheng led the army to attack Yizhou, Shang Jia would not dare to enter Langzhong again, and this city would definitely be full of people and noisy.

Liu Bei came, and the Langzhong County Commander came to greet him with a group of officials.

Entering the city, accompanied by the county order, walking along the street, Liu Bei looked left and right, only to see that the houses on the roadside were closed, and the shops were not open.

"If what I remember is correct, Langzhong should be a place where businessmen gather, why is it so depressed now?" Liu Bei asked the county order.

The county commander lowered his head and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Langzhong used to be indeed a gathering of businessmen, and every time the market was opened, the men, women and children on the road were flooded. It's just that there has been news recently, saying that the army is leading a crusade against Yizhou, and foreign businessmen dare not enter the city, and the businessmen in the city have also gone out to avoid trouble, and even most of the people have left. ”

"It's a good Langzhong, but it's just because the Fa is about to come that it has become the current situation." Liu Bei said to the county order: "As a magistrate, your guilt is not small. ”

"Your Majesty is to blame!" was blamed by Liu Bei, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on the forehead of the county commander.

"Now that you know that Fa Zheng is coming, are you ready to face the battle?" Liu Bei then asked again.

The county commander hurriedly replied: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the county, and although the preparations for defending the city have been made, it will not have much effect." But I have people store food and grass for a long battle. Now the granary in Langzhong City is indeed full. ”

When a large army fights, the most important thing is food.

After listening to the words of the county order, Liu Bei's face suddenly improved a lot.

He asked the county order: "How long is the grain warehouse in Langzhong enough for our army to eat?" ”

There were four or five thousand soldiers who followed Liu Bei into the city, and the county commander replied: "Only count the soldiers brought by Your Majesty, enough to eat for three months!" 2k reading network
