Chapter 587: A Plea for Help from Hanzhong

The dense river network in the pass now blocked the cavalry for a while.

Guanzhong Plain, there is no danger to defend. Only the city.

Once Liu Fan first entered the left Feng Yi, and then entered the right Fufeng.

Li Dao and Guo Yan no longer have a chance to play three assistants.

The land of Sanfu is also called the land of Sanqin. Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, and Right Fufeng are the highest officials in the land of Sanfu. And Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Feng Yi, and Right Fufeng are the names of the three counties of Sanfu.

Cheng Gongying's advice made Li Dao and Guo Yan no longer nostalgic for Chang'an, after all, it was important to escape.

In order to increase their strength, Li Dao and Guo Yan gathered the sergeants stationed in all counties and townships west of Chang'an.

Forty thousand soldiers and horses were formed, and three auxiliaries were sent to the west.

Two days later, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and Xu Chu came to Chang'an, wanting to chase Li Dao and Guo Yan, but found that it was too late.

At this time, Liu Fan had already led his soldiers and horses to Hongmen Pavilion, which was only one step away from Chang'an.

After Liu Fan received the news that Li Dao and Guo Yan had withdrawn from Sanfu and occupied Chang'an.

Xu Huang was ordered to command 20,000 infantry to control the south of Weishui, and Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan led 15,000 infantry to control the north of Weishui.

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan fled, after all, there were still many people in Guanzhong who had supported them or supported Dong Zhuo.

In order to prevent these people from rioting, there must be an army to deter them.

Now the division is under the control of Liu Fan.

Guanzhong has been pacified, and Long has not yet been obtained. The land of Xiliang is Liu Fan's henchman.

This time he quickly attacked to keep Guanzhong so that Guanzhong was not brutalized by Li Wei, and Liu Fan was very satisfied with the current results.

Now send troops to Guanzhong, so that he has enough strength to solve the troubles of Xiliang in ancient and modern times.

Because Li Dao and Guo Yan are unpopular in Guanzhong, many people in Guanzhong admire Liu Fan's name.

Hundreds of people eat pot pulp to comfort the soldiers who have come from thousands of miles away.

Liu Fan's honor guard arrived, and the people cheered.

"Winning the hearts of the people in a place is what makes me the happiest!"

Looking at the people who were hugging him, Liu Fan sighed sincerely.

Dong Zhuo doesn't look at the people's will and thinks that the people's will is useless. As everyone knows, although the army is sharp, the people are the most important in the world. The reason for the decline of the Later Han Dynasty is inseparable from the more than 100 uprisings and the Yellow Turban Uprising during the Huan Ling period. The prime minister is diligent and loves the people, the people have food and clothing, and the people do not have to take the crime of killing their heads. ”

Xun You answered beside Liu Fan.

Fame is tired of bits and pieces, and governing the country cannot be too rigid.

In history, Cao Cao's second massacre of Xuzhou almost destroyed the foundation he had worked so hard to establish. casually instigated by others, the people's hearts turned against each other.

After that, although Xuzhou was pacified by Cao Cao, the people always hated Cao Cao, and after many years, Xuzhou was stable.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Tian clan was replaced by Qi, and it was because the Jiang family lost the hearts of the people, and the people returned to the Chen family to complete the counterattack.

Many careerists feel that the people's will is useless in troubled times, and the fist is the factor that determines strength.

As everyone knows, the changes of dynasties and dynasties are all because of the use of the people by ambitious people.

Chang'an City.

Since the prisoner army burned the nine temples in the first year, although Chang'an City has been repaired many times, it is no longer what it used to be.

In terms of scale, Chang'an City is larger than Luoyang City. The war has made the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang full of historical scars.

Liu Fan knew that for this city, he only controlled it on the surface, and there must be many families who disobeyed him secretly.

In Chang'an City, Liu Fan stayed in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion. Dispatch here, prepare to settle Guanzhong first, and then march westward with your troops.

However, one day after Liu Fan entered Chang'an, an expedited speeding straight road was sent to Chang'an City.

"Prime Minister, an urgent letter from Jia Lingjun!"

After the envoy entered the palace, he presented the letter to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan took the bamboo tube and opened it.

Two letters were found inside.

Liu Fan opened one, and after reading it, he read another one.

After reading it, he said to the left and right: "Go and ask for the left military division."

After a while, Xun You came to Datang and saluted Liu Fan.

Liu Fan asked Xun You to sit down, and ordered the left and right to pass a letter to Xun You, and then said, "Wen He sent a letter. Liu Yan of Yizhou sent soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong, and Hanzhong was too defended by Su Gu to defeat its offensive and asked me for help. What do the military advisors think. ”

"The pass has been won, the four passes have been decided, and the people also support the prime minister. Powerful soldiers and horses, they can attack Xiliang at any time. Su Gu asked for help, and the prime minister took a look at Liu Yan! ”

Xun Yu waved his hand and said to Liu Fan.

Although Liu Yan is the emperor, he will sever contact with the imperial court, which is a sign of disobedience. This man, who occupies the land of Shu, has fueled his ambitions. Hanzhong, is the root and throat of Shu, has the north view of Guanzhong, the south of Bashu, the east of Xiang, Deng, the west of Qin, Longzhi. And the terrain of Shu is dangerous, the high mountains are connected with the clouds, the deep valley does not see the sun and the moon, the pass is dangerous, the horse can only pass through the suspension car, there is a husband to fight, thousands of people are unstoppable. It is obviously not advisable to attack Shu from Long. Therefore, Hanzhong has become the gateway to Shu and the easiest place to enter Shu. Liu Yan sent troops and horses to capture Hanzhong, and his purpose was obvious. ”

Liu Fan said to Xun You carefully.

After reading the letter, Xun You put it down and said: "Brother Wenhe's meaning, I want to let the lord send troops to support Su Gu and take the opportunity to take Hanzhong, so as to curb Liu Yan's development, and make it easier to attack Yizhou from Hanzhong after taking Liangzhou."

"Not bad! Wen and Jiaxin explained the pros and cons with me. When Wen He sent the letter to Chang'an, he did not know that our army had taken Guanzhong, and even so, Wen He advocated taking Hanzhong. ”

Liu Fan nodded and said.

"Liu Yan built and abolished Shi Limu, and his selfish intention was to occupy a state and avoid the troubled times. Judging from his occupation of Yizhou, Liu Yan did not have much ambition. After the prime minister garrisoned Hanzhong, Liu Yan would be exposed to the prime minister's eyes, so that he would not dare to make any moves. If our army can be stationed in Hanzhong, it can not only rely on Hanzhong to enter Shu, but also attack Ma Teng in Longyou to the northwest and Jingzhou to the southeast. This is too important for strategic reasons. Brother Wen He's suggestion is also my suggestion. ”

Xun You asked Liu Fan.

"Good!"

Liu Fan nodded and got up, and said, "Without further ado, now Su Gu is being attacked by Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu. In order to avoid the danger of Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu's occupation. Our army is reorganized today, and we will go south to Hanzhong tomorrow! After taking Guanzhong, there must be a general stationed in Guanzhong, who thinks the military advisor can take on this heavy responsibility? ”

"Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, the two generals can choose one of them. The rest are either incompetent or too junior to serve the whole army. ”

Xun You suggested to Liu Fan.

"Gongming has 40,000 soldiers, including 20,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry, which is the main force of my attack on Xiliang. He must stay in Guanzhong. There is only Zhao Yun! ”

Liu Fan said with a sigh.

Zhao Yun is not of great use to him, because Zhao Yun's subordinates are all Longxiang elite cavalry, and they can be taken by surprise when attacking Liangzhou.
