Fa Zheng came to Jingzhou for the third time, in addition to the first time, he was also entrusted by Liu Zhang and Meng Da to send 2,000 men and horses to help Liu Bei defend against Cao Cao, this time back, it seems that Liu Bei wants to repay his debts and take people to Yizhou to help Liu Zhang defend against Cao Cao.

However, after Fa Zhengming read out Liu Zhang's letter of request, he secretly said to Liu Bei behind his back: "Liu Zhang is weak, with the ability of the general, and Zhang Song as an internal response, it is not a problem to seize Yizhou, and then rely on the resources of Shuzhong, relying on the steep terrain of Yizhou, it is easy to reproduce the great cause of Gaozu." ”

Liu Bei happily prepared to go, and convened everyone to discuss who to bring into Sichuan and how many people to bring.

Pang Tong suggested that he bring the generals who were not very famous before, and if he took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the name would be too loud, and he was afraid that it would scare Liu Zhang.

Ge Liang also suggested taking Huang Zhong and Wei Yan to go, these two people, presumably Liu Zhang had never heard of them, maybe he would be worried about the lack of strength, and then allocate more men and horses, and more importantly, he had arranged for the two of them to conduct siege training before.

There is another person who must also go, that is Li Yan, in history, Li Yan led the army to surrender Liu Bei in Yizhou, which was a great help, and now this link is missing, and he must be made up from the front.

Liu Bei agreed, and just left Meng Da in front, and he hadn't arranged a position yet, so let him make up for this Yidu Taishou.

As for the candidate for the military division, Liu Bei said to Ge Liang: "I'd better take Pang Tong with me, Zhuge military division will help me and Guan Yu manage Jingzhou together, in case there is any accident in Shu, after all, there is still the foundation of Jingzhou." ”

Of course, Ge Liang already knew about Liu Bei's arrangement, and of course he immediately agreed, anyway, a year later, he would also divide his troops with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun into Sichuan.

Liu Bei took Pang Tong and 10,000 soldiers away, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun stared at each other for a while, each imagining the situation of Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan.

Ge Liang was also thinking, thinking that he forgot to ask Liu Bei not to let Pang Tong go to supervise the army to attack the city, but the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, Liu Bei will definitely not listen to Pang Tong's advice to start immediately, it is still early to fight, and it is not too late to write a letter after a while.

As for whether Liu Bei should kill Liu Zhang and attack Chengdu during the meeting as Pang Tong said, it is difficult to say, after all, Liu Bei stayed in Yizhou for a period of time, and it is still effective to win the hearts of the people, at least he stabilized the situation immediately after seizing Yizhou, and he could immediately go to Jingzhou to help Guan Yu.

If Liu Zhang was killed by a surprise attack at the beginning, Yizhou would be a mess, although I remembered that there were few battles, who knows if it would make officials from all over the country run around, and what banner to welcome Cao Cao or Sun Quan or something.

"Okay, okay, let's get busy." Ge Liang shook the fan in his hand and turned around to go back to the city.

A few days later, Ge Liang handed over the administration of the state to Pan Jun, and he set off to inspect the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and he had a lot of things to explain.

When he arrived in Yueyang County, Ge Liang carefully inspected the secret passages of various organs in the new city, and asked Liu Pan: "Does Liu Taishou think Jiangdong will attack Jingzhou?" ”

Liu Pan was simply gearing up: "Jiangdong and Jingzhou have a feud, before Cao Cao came, the two sides were at war almost every year. I think Jiangdong will never give up on Jingzhou, and will want to swallow it quickly, and this is a land that claims to be a place to store grain, and Jiangdong will definitely attack here first. ”

Ge Liang nodded: "Now put you in this Yueyang County, in case of war, you will bear the brunt." Can you remember all my words? ”

"Remember clearly, if Jiangdong comes to attack, after a few days of resistance, abandon the city and let them occupy it, ambush the soldiers in the secret passages in the city, and then wait for General Jiangling Pass to send troops to help besiege the city, and the ambush soldiers in the city will stand out inside and outside to attack, and completely annihilate the enemy army that occupies the city." Liu Pan has already memorized this very well.

"What else?" Ge Liang asked.

"Fight to kill a guy named Lu Meng!" How could Liu Pan forget.

Ge Liang told Liu Pan to pay close attention to street combat training: "After entering street fighting and secret warfare, it will be useless for large troops to fight, you must seize the time to let the sergeants conduct secret combat survival training in units of five, and you can conduct military competitions, and select outstanding personnel from among them to be promoted." ”

Liu Pan was full of confidence: "The military advisor has already selected three hundred warriors and trained day and night. If the military advisor is not at ease, let them demonstrate it now. ”

Ge Liang really wanted to inspect it, and he couldn't make such a trap with all his efforts, but in the end he failed, and it was too wasteful of energy, so he gathered the sergeants and casually ordered the three captains: "You take your own people down to the secret passage, and the rest of the sergeants will all go to search for you." You have to do everything you can to evade their pursuit, and annihilate them in the movement, and in the end, whoever lasts the most and kills the most enemies will be victorious, and today you will be rewarded on the spot, and the ordinary sergeant will be promoted to captain, and the lieutenant will be promoted to chief. ”

He also said to the sergeant in charge of the pursuit: "In the same way, whoever captures the most enemies will be rewarded today." ”

After the three teams were hidden, after a meal, Ge Liang said to Liu Pan: "Let's start." ”

With Liu Pan's order, all the sergeants rushed into the secret passage, and this kind of promise of immediate promotion was difficult to encounter in the past.

The drill lasted for two hours, and soldiers kept coming out of the secret passages to gather, and Ge Liang counted that the people in charge of the search had "suffered two hundred casualties," while only 11 of the 15 people in charge of hiding had been "arrested."

Further investigation revealed that except for one of the eleven people, the remaining ten were all led by two captains, that is, one of them had only lost one so far, and four of them had been fighting.

When interrogated about the "casualties" of the searchers, it turned out that more than 100 of them were "killed" by the team that had not yet been caught.

Ge Liang had to secretly praise these people for their awesomeness, and asked the only person who "sacrificed": "Who are you captains?" ”

"My lord, our Wu Chang's surname is Liu Minghe."

Liu He? I seem to have heard this name, could it be the Liu He who died in Hanzhong as Zhuge Liang said on the table later?

"Why did you lose alone?" Ge Liang wanted to ask how they did it.

The sergeant replied, "My lord, we were surrounded on all sides, and there was really no way to do it, so I showed up to distract them and cover the retreat of the other four. ”

Ge Liang hurriedly stretched out his thumb, as an ordinary soldier who mainly relied on formations to fight with cold weapons in ancient times, it was really rare to have the initiative to sacrifice to cover others.

"Now it's up to who can catch Liu He in the end." Ge Liang wanted to see Liu He immediately, but he couldn't stop the promotion opportunity of the sergeant who was searching for one.

A young sergeant with a crossbow in his hand, standing not far from Ge Liang's side, walked out: "My lord, the only one who can arrest Liu He is you." After speaking, he wiped the mud from his face and plucked a few strands of beard.

Even Liu Pan was taken aback: "Liu He, you, when did you run out?" ”

Liu He arched his hand: "My lord, I have long been mixed with the other party's captured sergeants, and I have always stood by your side." ”

Ge Liang looked at the crossbow in Liu He's hand and understood the information contained in it, if he was really an enemy general, he could carry out the decapitation operation.

"Looking for an opportunity to promote this person, at least to the position of a hundred generals. The four people under him all have to be promoted to the position of captain or even chief. Ge Liang whispered to Liu Pan.
