In the tenth year of Kaiyuan, the military aircraft department formulated a strategy to destroy Shu, divided into two armies to attack Xishu, the East Route Army took Su Jin, the governor of Chu, the capital of Jingzhou, as the general of Pingdong, and all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, Guizhou and Yangzhou belonged to Su Jin, and Cai Mao, the governor of Jingzhou Water Division, assisted the East Route Army in transporting grain and grass with a water division.

The Western Route Army, with Lu Xun as the general of Pingxi, mobilized Guan Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, Gao Shun, the commander of the division, and his soldiers and horses, and sent troops to attack Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong has not had a good time these years, there are heavy troops of Yan State in the east, Hanzhong is just a county, if you want to develop, unless you swallow Shu, so Zhang Lu has frequently fought with Liu Zhang over the years, and once beat Liu Zhang to the ground, until Liu Bei entered Shu, this situation has changed.

Liu Xie finally succeeded in reaching Chengdu and the capital, on the way it can be described as nine deaths, Liu Xie's identity is there after all, although Liu Zhang does not welcome Liu Xie, but he also has to offer him high, and later after Liu Bei entered Shu, Liu Zhang reused Liu Bei to resist Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, which was quite effective, so Liu Zhang attached more importance to Liu Bei.

The combined armies of the east and west routes of Yan Kingdom are nearly 500,000 people, the west route army is 200,000 people, and the east route army plus the water army is nearly 300,000 people, and the 500,000 army is enough to see Su Chen's determination, he hopes to be able to fight Bashu in one go.

Just when the Yan State was in full swing to dispatch troops, Bashu had not yet received the news of the Yan State's troops, and Liu Zhang was indulged in pleasure, especially after Liu Bei resisted Zhang Lu's attack, Liu Zhang adopted the strategy of closing the country and blocking the road of Jingzhou's eastward expansion, trying to make Bashu a foreign land.

It's just that how can his idea be realized, not to mention that some unambitious people in Bashu have long been ready to move, even if there is no Yan State to send troops, as Liu Bei's military power in Shu State becomes heavier and heavier, Shu State will be taken away by Liu Bei sooner or later.

When the military order from the Military Aircraft Department arrived in Xiangyang, Su Jin was receiving an envoy from Xichuan, who did not come on behalf of Liu Zhang, but on behalf of the local scholars of Xichuan.

The foreign scholars in Yizhou are mainly Dongzhou scholars. First of all, tens of thousands of people from Nanyang and Sanfu flowed into Yizhou, and they were recruited as soldiers, known as Dongzhou soldiers. Zhang's temperament is gentle, there is no prestige, Dongzhou people invade and abuse the old people, Zhang can't ban it, there are many government decrees, and Yizhou is quite resentful.

Liu Zhang's reuse of Dongzhou scholars led to the opposition between the local scholars and the foreign Dongzhou scholars, and Yizhou rebelled in the market from the beginning of Liu Yan's entry into Shu, and the objects of the rebellion were mainly the local scholars, which were represented by Jia Long, Pang Xi, and Zhao Wei.

In recent years, as the Yan State quelled the rebellion in all directions, people of insight have seen that Bashu is declining, and Liu Zhang cannot balance the relationship between the local scholars of Yizhou and the scholars of Dongzhou, let alone stop the tyrannical situation of the local scholars of Yizhou after taking power, and let it go, which has caused huge hidden dangers.

In addition, some people who are not allowed to be reused by Liu Zhang, have also looked for a way out, after Liu Bei entered Shu, he soon got a group of Wenchen generals to follow, these people are Liu Zhang's not very reused, such as Meng Da, Fa Zheng, and some value Liu Bei, feel that Liu Bei is more capable than Liu Zhang, such as Xu Jing and others, in short, Liu Bei Tun soldiers Jia Meng Pass, resisted Zhang Lu's offensive against Bashu, and was supported by many Xichuan people.

However, not everyone is optimistic about Liu Bei, for example, Zhang Song is an exception, Zhang Song is a native of Shu County, but because of his appearance, Liu Zhang is not allowed to reuse, Yan Guo has heavy troops in Jingzhou Tun, which makes the resourceful Zhang Song realize that Yan Guo will use troops in Bashu sooner or later, so Zhang Song came to Xiangyang.

Zhang Song had entered Xiangyang, and was immediately noticed by Zhuge Liang's people, Zhuge Liang would not think that Zhang Song came to Xiangyang for no reason, so he pretended not to know and did not bother Zhang Song, but quickly told Su Jin the news.

Zhuge Liang is Su Jin's think tank, if Su Jin inherits the unification in the future, Zhuge Liang will inevitably be the first assistant of the cabinet, which is something that a discerning person can see clearly.

"What is Zhang Song's reason to come to my Xiangyang? Isn't it to investigate my Xiangyang reality? ”

Hearing Su Jin's words, Zhuge Liang shook his head and replied: "It shouldn't be, but Lingyun, no matter what this Zhang Song does, we must greet him with the highest etiquette, Your Majesty has pacified Xiliang for three years, if there is no accident, he will use troops against Bashu this year, and Xiangyang will definitely be dominated by you at that time, so no matter what Zhang Song is here for, this person is extremely important to us and must be contained." ”

"That makes sense."

Zhang Song turned around in Xiangyang City today, Su Jin pretended to get the news, and personally went to the inn to greet Zhang Song, Zhang Song never expected the King of Chu to come to greet him in person, which made him extremely moved.

Su Jin held a grand welcome ceremony in the palace of the king of Chu, which made Zhang Songming feel guilty and almost bowed his head.

"This king has long heard his father say that there are two great talents in Yizhou, and the first to be promoted Zhang Song and Zhang Yongnian, when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation, and today this king can know Yongnian, which is really a great pleasure."

The sedan chair carried people, Su Jin said so, and the civil and military officials under his command also had to echo their words, which greatly satisfied Zhang Song's vanity, and after some humility, he asked: "Does Your Majesty also know Xichuan Zhang Song?" ”

"Of course!" Su Jin said with certainty: "Yongnian doesn't know, my father has always loved talents, this king often hears his father mention Xichuan's characters, my father once said, Liu Zhang is weak, people can't make the best use of their talents, if there is a master, reuse Yongnian such talents, my Yan Kingdom will never dare to watch Xichuan." ”

Su Jin's words were also testing Zhang Song's mind, Zhang Song listened, and said with some sympathy: "Your Majesty is really as wise as a torch, and Liu Zhang can see it clearly, now I am chaotic in Shu, the three forces are criss-crossed, Liu Zhang no longer has the strength to control Shuzhong, but it is possible to be suppressed by outsiders, Yan Guo has swept the Quartet, only leaving Shuzhong alone, Zhang Song is not talented, and he is willing to do his best for the great cause of Chu King and His Majesty." ”

"Hahahaha, listening to Mr. 's words, this king's heart is happy, this king respects Mr. a cup."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Su Jin's standard of entertaining Zhang Song is very high, Zhang Song is very useful, and he presented a big gift, which is the Xichuan defense map, for Su Jin, although this deployment map is not as important as imagined, it is also a good gift, especially with Zhang Song's internal response.

Before Zhang Song left Xiangyang, the order of the Military Aircraft Department was transmitted to Xiangyang, and Su Jin immediately asked Zhang Song to be the internal response, and returned to Shuzhong first, and he led the army to arrive later, and hoped that Zhang Song could surrender some people for him.

Of course, Zhang Song did not refuse, he wished that Yan Guo would send troops as soon as possible, so that he could also have a chance to show his talents, so he took Su Jin's task and returned to Shuzhong in a hurry.

Su Jin didn't know, he had already laid a shadow in Xichuan, and it was also a very important shadow, Ju Yan won Liu Xie's trust, after entering Shu, Liu Xie was not welcomed by Liu Zhang, it was Ju Yan who made suggestions for Liu Xie and broke the deadlock.

Liu Zhang wanted to raise Liu Xie high, but he didn't know that Liu Xie was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and now there are still many people who are loyal to the Han family, and there are many of them in the Middle East, so many people secretly visit Liu Xie.

As a great hero in rescuing Liu Xie's escape, Ju Yan was soon attracted by these people, and Ju Yan also took the opportunity to infiltrate the high-level of Yizhou and was able to know some of Yizhou's movements.

The news of the attack on Bashu by the two armies of the Yan State soon spread to Shuzhong, and Liu Zhang heard that the 500,000 army was coming, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't fall on his head, but fortunately, the people around him supported him in time.

"How do you think you should resist the Yan army?"

In the face of Liu Zhang's questioning, Huang Quan took the lead and said: "Lord Wang, now we have to send heavy troops to defend Ba County, and at the same time reconcile with Zhang Lu, the Western Route Army of Yan State will come from Hanzhong II, and it will definitely break Zhang Lu first, as long as we provide support to Zhang Lu, we can let Zhang Lu resist the Yan Army for us, so there is nothing to worry about this way, the only thing to worry about is the East Route Army, the East Route Army will reach Ba County from Xiangyang, and it will reach Ba County in an instant, and a general must be sent to garrison." ”

"Who can Gongheng stop the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou?"

Before Huang Quan could speak, Fa Zheng suggested: "Lord Wang, Jiamengguan Liu Bei is brave and strategic, but he can take on important tasks." ”

"No!" At the mention of Liu Bei, Huang Quan immediately stopped: "Lord Wang, Liu Bei is quite ambitious, and he is the imperial uncle of the Han family, and he is quite prestigious, so he can't let Liu Bei have too much military power, otherwise the tail will not be big, and it will be unfavorable to my Shuzhong." ’

"This ......" Liu Zhang confessed that he still had a good impression of Liu Bei, but Huang Quan said this, and he couldn't object, and asked: "Then who can Gongheng stop the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou?" ”

"The four generals Ling Bao, Liu Bi, Zhang Ren, and Deng Xian are all good generals in Xichuan, and they can be the main generals of Ling Bao, and the other three are deputy generals, and they will transfer 100,000 troops and garrison Ba County."

Hearing Huang Quan's words, Liu Zhang said approvingly: "Gongheng's arrangement is feasible, and the order is to take Ling Bao as the general of Zhendong, and Liu Bao, Zhang Ren, and Deng Xian as deputy generals to assist Ling Bao and send 100,000 troops to garrison Ba County." ”

Liu Zhang's transfer of 100,000 soldiers and horses is already the limit, although Yizhou is rich, but the local Taishou is quite self-respecting, and the soldiers and horses that are really mastered by Liu Zhang are only 200,000, with half of the soldiers and horses to resist the Jingzhou soldiers, and the remaining half to defend Shu County, which is also a way out of the way.

At the same time, Liu Zhang sent someone to reconcile with Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu did not want to continue hostility with Liu Zhang at this time, the top priority was to deal with the army of Yan State, so Liu Zhang's envoy was entertained by Zhang Lu.

Lu Xun led an army of 200,000 troops to Chencang, and did not immediately attack Hanzhong, taking Hanzhong was just a hand-to-hand capture, Lu Xun thought about how to attack the east and the west, and take Shuzhong directly, because before leaving, Su Chen called him over and gave him a shortcut to Shuzhong.
