Chapter 374: Liu Bei enters Shu
Huang Quan has been sending people to monitor Zhang Song, but Zhang Song has not moved for a while, so Huang Quan's people neglected to take precautions, so Zhang Xiang's people found Zhang Song, and they have not been discovered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Song can be regarded as having escaped, but he doesn't know it yet, and he is not sure about dealing with others Zhang Song, but it is much easier to frame Zhang Ren, and Zhang Ren led his troops to fight with Ma Chao.
Most of his subordinates are his cronies and generals, and most of Xichuan's elite soldiers are also under his command, so he is indeed suspected of supporting the army and respecting himself, which is unacceptable to any monarch, let alone Liu Zhang is so stingy.
Zhang Song begged to see Liu Zhang, but he was not talking about replacing Zhang Ren, but about replacing the generals under Zhang Ren, "My lord, these generals are Zhang Ren's cronies, but Zhang Ren is the head of the horse, and it is better to beware of some." ”
Huang Quan: "The lord must not, it is a taboo for soldiers to change generals in battle, and once they lose, Xichuan will not be guaranteed." ”
Zhang Song: "Why did the master book say this? It is indeed taboo to change generals in battle, but what is said in the book of war will be the meaning of the commander-in-chief, and it refers to Zhang Ren on the battlefield. It will not affect the situation of the battle. ”
Huang Quan: "To put it simply, those generals are also people who lead troops, what if the soldiers are not convinced?" Can you take responsibility for the defeat on the battlefield? ”
Zhang Song: "Why don't you accept it!" These soldiers are the soldiers of the lord, not Zhang Ren and those generals, if they are really dissatisfied, they should replace these generals, and there can be no second Zhang Lu in Yizhou. ”
Although Zhang Song did not name him, his words directly alluded to Zhang Ren, Zhang Lu was a thorn in Liu Zhang's heart, "Don't quarrel, Gongheng and Ziqiao, what you said is not wrong, what if Zhang Ren is suspected of being replaced, our Yizhou is dangerous." ”
Zhang Song: "The lord's move is meaningless and the way to die." "Although Liu Zhang is a gentle person, he does have a reverse scale that will kill him, that is, he doesn't like people to oppose him.
Zhang Song used this to provoke Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang was really fooled, "I will never persuade you, otherwise you will be severely punished, and you all go down." Huang Quan and Zhang Song left the main hall.
After a while, the sound of the opera orchestra sounded, but Huang Quan outside the hall was arguing with Zhang Song, "Zhang Song, what do you want to do?" Do you know what you did, Wu Xichuan was destroyed in your hands, you speak! Isn't it usually quite able to say? ”
Zhang Song deliberately didn't speak, he knew that Huang Quan was a person who ate soft and not hard, and the more he quarreled with him, the more fruitless it was, "This is not my intention, I just wanted to teach Zhang Ren a lesson, I didn't expect the lord to make such a decision." ”
Huang Quan: "How did Zhang Ren offend you?" ”
Zhang Song: "Some time ago, when I went to Chang'an and passed by the battlefield, Zhang Ren didn't send troops to protect it, and his subordinates were not good for me, of course I was very angry." ”
Huang Quan: "Then why did you take revenge so late?" ”
"My Zhang Song is also from Yizhou, naturally I will not let Zhang Lu villain succeed, the battle situation was unstable at that time, so my subordinates endured it, Zhang Xiangtun's soldiers are deadlocked on the battlefield, and there is no longer the sharpness of the past, so I will retaliate now." Zhang Song's personality is so good that he knows one or two, and this seems to be what he did.
Huang Quan: "Ziqiao, you are so confused! It's too late for everything now. ”
Zhang Song: "Since the big mistake has been made, then it's too late to say anything, the only thing we can do now is how to make up for this mistake, the lord's order will not be changed, so let Li Yan be the commander." ”
Huang Quan: "Li Yan is indeed a genius, Liu Bei entered Jingzhou Li Yan came to Shu, and soon became the commander of a county, but after all, when he first arrived, the lord may not agree to let him lead the army." ”
Zhang Song: "This is not necessarily, there are a total of ninety-eight counties in Yizhou, although some of them were divided by Zhang Lu, but there are at least sixty counties under the lord, but the truly rich counties can be counted on both hands, and Li Yan's Chengdu County is definitely among them, which is enough to show the importance that the lord attaches to Li Yan." ”
Huang Quan only saw Li Yan's talent, but ignored Li Yan's qualifications, sometimes seniority is more important than ability in the army, otherwise Zhang Xiang would not accept Yue Xi as a deputy general, if the main general is not Lu Lingqi, there will definitely be people in the army who jump out to express dissatisfaction.
It can be seen the importance of qualifications, Huang Quan has good ability, but unfortunately he specializes in internal affairs and does not know the affairs of the army in detail, although he has a strategic vision, but he does not have the ability to lead troops, so he naturally does not know the traps in Zhang Song's words.
In order to make Li Yan handsome, Huang Quan and Zhang Song struggled to speak, and Liu Zhang's ears were soft, so he agreed, and when Li Yan received the appointment, although he was surprised, he was not afraid.
Li Yan is in the prime of life, it is the time to make contributions, so he will abandon Liu Biao to Yizhou to ask for errands, Li Yan is full of confidence, Liu Zhang is also very satisfied and even praises Huang Quan Zhang Song has a vision.
Liu Zhang went to the army to take up his post, Zhang Ren also received an order, although the generals were not satisfied, but they were forced down by Zhang Ren, "How can you not obey the order of the lord, after I leave, you must assist General Li well." ”
Zhang Ren is also a well-known figure in the army, and the generals naturally dare not persuade him, when Li Yan arrived, Zhang Ren was still there, so Li Yan received the handsome seal very smoothly and was not embarrassed.
Li Yan: "Thank you, Marshal Zhang." ”
Zhang Ren: "Li Yan, I can only use your talents, don't let the lord down." Zhang Ren left that night, Zhang Ren left, the generals would not give Li Yan face, and Li Yan also had a headache.
Li Yan is still capable, and he has subdued some generals, but Ma Chao will not let go of this opportunity, Ma Chao led the cavalry to storm Li Yan's camp, and the cavalry led by Ma Chao this time is completely different from the previous ones.
The war horses of Yizhou are not those high-headed horses in the north, the local horses are called Shu horses, Shu horses are short and suitable for mountain riding, although Ma Chao does not look down on these Shu horses, but there is nothing.
Therefore, the Shu horse cavalry has requirements for soldiers, that is, the height cannot be too high, which is not a difficult thing, after all, there are indeed many short people in Shuzhong, but most of the people in Shu do not know how to ride horses.
In order to train this cavalry, Ma Chao spent a long time, until Zhang Ren left, these cavalry were only half-finished, but the opportunity could not be lost and would not come again, so Ma Chao wanted to take advantage of Li Yan's unstable foothold to launch an attack.
Ma Chao's timing was very accurate, Li Yan had no prestige in the army and could not turn the tide, Xichuan soldiers fled separately, and the army was defeated like a mountain, Ma Chao took advantage of the situation to fight endlessly.
Although Li Yan escaped, he knew that everything was over, fortunately, the land of Yizhou was very dangerous, Li Yan had time to gather some remnants, and he recovered a little bit of vitality, but Zhang Lu's army had already entered Xichuan.
Not only that one way can go, Li Yan can block one, but he can't block the second one, Zhang Lu's army went straight to the capital of Xichuan, Liu Zhang was furious after knowing the battle situation, and scolded Huang Quan and Zhang Song, "This is the person you recommend." ”
Huang Quan: "Don't panic, the lord doesn't panic, Zhang Xiang won't sit back and watch Zhang Lu get Yizhou, we still have a chance." ”
Liu Zhang: "Don't mention Zhang Xiang to me, I only saw Zhang Xiang standing still, Zhang Lu's army drove straight in, I can't wait, lead the Jingzhou army into Sichuan to deal with Zhang Lu, and the conditions are as he wants." ”
Zhang Song: "Lord, let's wait for a while!" ”
Liu Zhang: "You know that let us wait, and if you wait for Yizhou, your surname will be Zhang, and Zhang Song will ask Liu Bei to enter Sichuan, and give me out." ”
"Whoa." Huang Quan and Zhang Song left, this time the mood of the two was not very good, Huang Quan was worried about the situation in Yizhou, and Zhang Song was worried about going to Jingzhou, which he didn't think about at all.
Huang Quan: "The lord's move led the wolf into the room!" ”
Zhang Song: "It's not just a wolf!" Zhang Lu came in, Liu Bei came in, so will Zhang Xiang be far away? Yizhou has stopped for so long, and it's finally going to be chaotic, and I really can't hide. ”
Huang Quan: "Ziqiao, do you have a way to keep Liu Bei from entering Sichuan." ”
Zhang Song: "No, even if I point at Liu Bei's nose and scold, he will insist on entering Sichuan, Yizhou is a big piece of fat, Liu Bei must have been greedy for a long time, how could he let it go?" ”
Huang Quan left without paying attention to Zhang Song, Zhang Song was also preparing for the envoy, although Liu Zhang's order was a bit sudden, but Liu Zhang still wanted to meet Liu Bei, who made Zhang Xiang jealous.
Zhang Song entered Jingzhou and was courteous to Liu Bei, Liu Bei personally greeted him, and brought all the officials, this face is not a big deal, but Zhang Song is a little preconceived.
Zhang Xiang's evaluation of Liu Bei, Zhang Song remembers it clearly, isn't the word hypocrisy the embodiment of Liu Bei now? What is it that is not hypocrisy to attach so much importance to someone you don't know?
Zhang Song was not in the mood to watch Liu Bei perform there, so he hastily expressed his intention, what Liu Bei wanted was an opportunity to enter Xichuan, and since he got it, he naturally didn't care about Zhang Song.
casually asked an official to receive it on his behalf, Liu Bei's move Zhang Song saw it in his eyes, and this turned his face too quickly, anyway, the matter was already done, and Zhang Song didn't want to look at Liu Bei's face, so he didn't stay longer.
When Zhang Song left, there was no one to see him off, and when he came, Liu Bei was also arranging the expedition, and this time Liu Bei was bound to enter Shu, and he must not lose.
Liu Bei decided to bring all the generals under him, leaving only Guan Yu alone to garrison Jingzhou, and it took only three days from preparation to Liu Bei's expedition.
Zhang Song hadn't seen Liu Zhang yet, but he heard the news of Liu Bei's expedition, Liu Bei's ambition had been revealed, and when Zhang Song saw Liu Zhang, he didn't have to report it at all, even Liu Zhang knew the news.
Liu Zhang: "It is worthy of being a person of the same clan, and his own family still helps his own family." As soon as this sentence came out, Huang Quan's face immediately drooped, he knew very well that it was so easy for Liu Bei to come in this time, and it was not so easy to let Liu Bei out.
