Chapter 619 Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys

The battle of Baishui Pass has ended, nearly ten days, but a bloody battle report has just reached the hands of Liu Zhang in Chengdu.

Liu Zhang was in a very good mood early this morning, and his new concubine last night made him reminisce for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this woman who is not too outstanding in appearance has such a charm that fascinates him.

Just when he was thinking about how he should reward this little concubine, suddenly a bloody battle report was presented in front of him, and Liu Zhang's heart was shocked at that time.

He knew very well in his heart that the only battle report that could be presented now was from Pang Xi's side.

If Pang Xi won the victory, then this battle report would definitely not look like this, could it be said that Pang Xi was defeated in the hands of Zhang Lu?

But even with horror in his heart, he still took the battle report with a trembling right hand.

Later, after calming down his nervousness a little, Liu Zhang slowly opened the bloody battle report.

It's just that after watching more than half of it, Liu Zhang has already fallen limply in his position.

He couldn't believe that what was written was true, and that the 150,000 troops he had sent out were now less than 30,000 left.

And of the few generals dispatched, only Pang Le is now left.

After Pang Xi took Baishui Pass, he killed Ding Wen, who had no eyes to come to ask for a reward, and at the same time, Pang Xi also killed Niu Ben and Ergou beside Ding Wen!

After killing all three of them, Pang Xi ended his life with his own sword and died on the top of the city of Baishui Pass.

Pang Xi's death can be said to have directly cut off one of Liu Zhang's arms.

Not only that, Leng Bao, who originally belonged to his command before Pang Xi committed suicide, had already chosen to mutiny.

Coupled with Li Yi, who disappeared in the flood, there was only one Pang Le left among the four generals he sent.

And the only thing that can comfort him is only one point, that is, they have won the first and most difficult pass in the attack on Hanzhong, Baishui Pass.

But at this time, Baishuiguan has become a mess!

In addition, now that most of his army has been lost, it is impossible to continue to attack the hinterland of Hanzhong.

It can be said that even if Bai Shui is in his hands and not in his hands at this time, he is powerless to continue to attack.

This is not what Liu Zhang is most afraid of, he knows best what he has done before, in fact, the entire Yizhou people are also very clear.

That's right!

It was he who killed his own brother Liu Mao with his own hands!

When his father died in the war before, he told Huang Quan to let Huang Quan return to Yizhou and support his brother Liu Mao to become the new lord of Yizhou.

At that time, Liu Zhang's heart only had some resentment, and he didn't want to kill his brother.

But unable to withstand the constant persuasion of many of his subordinates, Liu Zhang came up with the terrible idea of killing his own brother and becoming the lord of Yizhou.

After this idea appeared, Liu Zhang was no longer able to control his behavior.

Eventually, he extended his sinful hand to his own brother, and one day at a dinner party, he poured a glass of highly poisonous wine into his own brother's mouth.

Liu Zhang originally thought that he had done it seamlessly, but he didn't expect that although no one grabbed the real evidence, everyone had already decided that he was the real murderer who killed Liu Mao.

So after Liu Mao's death, the officials of the entire Yizhou were divided into three factions.

Among them, the most powerful is naturally him and his eagle dogs.

There is also a group of officials who follow their third brother Liu Mao, and the power of these officials cannot be underestimated.

However, the only thing that can reassure Liu Zhang is that these people do not have much military power in their hands, and the only one who has some status in the army is Huang Quan.

The rest of the faction is the neutral faction, and these people say that they are neutral but are actually grass on the wall.

Whichever side has more power will fall to them, that is, if Liu Zhang can defeat his third brother's descendants, these people will become his helpers.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang came up with an idea that he thought was the best, that is, to lead the water to the east.

It's not that the situation in Yizhou is unstable now, it doesn't matter, all this is because everyone is focused on the internal situation of Yizhou.

At this time, he only needs to draw the attention of these people elsewhere.

Naturally, these people don't have so much energy to take care of the internal affairs of Yizhou, and the best person who can divert everyone's attention is only Zhang Lu of Hanzhong.

As long as they send heavy troops to attack Zhang Lu, then even if their own internal personnel want to investigate how their brother died, they can only put it down for the time being, after all, Zhang Lu is one of their biggest enemies in Yizhou.

And if his soldiers can defeat Zhang Lu, he will even bring the entire territory of Hanzhong into the bag of Yizhou.

In this way, he will be able to gain great prestige, and even if those people want to settle old scores, how big waves can they make?

That's why Liu Zhang was so anxious to order the troops to be sent to Hanzhong, but he didn't expect his decision to be opposed by the vast majority of his subordinates.

Among them, the most resolute opposition is that Huang Quan!

It's a pity that they all underestimated Liu Zhang's determination this time!

Because Liu Zhang already knew very clearly that if he couldn't lead the disaster to the east, then it would be time for him to set himself on fire.

So even if all his subordinates oppose it, he won't have the slightest idea of changing his mind!

And in order to deter the generals under his command, Liu Zhang even made the decision to put Huang Quan in prison!

It was this decision that made everyone under him shut up.

However, although these people don't say it, they must still mumble in their hearts, but these muttering are insignificant to the complacent Liu Zhang.

During this time, Liu Zhang has been dreaming of his yellow sorghum, in which he even dreamed that he became the co-master of the world and accepted the congratulations from all directions, and that wonderful taste made him wake up with a smile when he dreamed.

But now his dream has become shattered, all because of his most trusted Pang Xi, with a force of 150,000 troops, he has not been able to completely take a Baishui Pass, and he has suffered such heavy losses!

This is literally going to kill him, and once the news spreads completely, then those who opposed him before will definitely jump out again.

By that time, it will be too late for me to clean up the mess!

I have to come up with a way to shut up all these people, and the easiest and most direct way to do this is to make an example of them.

Huang Quan is the chicken he wants to kill, and of course his relatives.

That's right!

There are also Yan Yan's relatives who rebelled and killed their father before, these people should have been killed a long time ago, but it was because of the existence of Huang Quan that they lived so long!

Now is the time for these people to go to the underworld, as long as they are fast enough to cut through the chaos, they will kill all these people!

Then no one will dare to openly oppose themselves, so that their rule can continue to be maintained!
