The letter was issued by Nanyang Gao Xi, and there was also a secret letter from Shan Xiongxin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shan Xiongxin is in Hanzhong, and urgent information is transmitted by carrier pigeons. However, there is too little information that carrier pigeons can carry, and there is no guarantee of absolute safety. Whenever there was important information, Shan Xiongxin would send someone to send the information to Wuguan, and Wu Yong would send someone to Luoyang.

The decisive battle of Yongliang is imminent, the situation tends to be tense, the Xiliang army has strengthened the investigation of the people who come and go, the information transmission channel in Yongzhou is blocked, and Shan Xiongxin can only send people to transmit information through Shangyong and Nanyang.

……

In the letter, Gao Xi suggested that arranging manpower in Shangyong to transmit information could also prepare for the future attack on Hanzhong.

Liu Mang also has this idea.

What Shan Xiongxin sent was the most urgent need of Liu Mang, the information of Liu Yu in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Between Yizhou and the Central Plains, there are mountains to block, and it is inconvenient to transmit messages.

Previous intelligence showed that Liu Yu killed Liu Zhang, entered Chengdu, and after stabilizing the situation, he devoted his main energy to solving the problem of barbarians in the south of Yizhou.

Shan Xiongxin's secret report said that Liu Yu and Shi Dakai, the leader of the civilian armed forces in southern Yizhou, had already reached an agreement, but in order to hide from people's eyes, they had not been made public.

The resolution of contradictions in the region should have been publicized with great fanfare to demonstrate virtue and ability. Liu Yu not only did not publicize it, but blocked the news, which must have deep meaning.

The current Liu Mang is no longer a child with an intelligence of 50, and he immediately understood Liu Yu's intentions.

Liu Yu deliberately did not make a publicity, just to make the outside world misjudge, mistakenly thinking that he was deeply involved in the affairs of southern Yizhou and had no time to take care of anything else. In order to achieve the purpose of hiding people's eyes and ears and winning by surprise.

It is easy to guess the strategic direction of Liu Yu, except for the wild western Gaoyuan, there are only three directions: Jingzhou in the east, Hanzhong in the north and Jiaozhou in the southeast.

Although Yizhou is close to Jingzhou, it is mountainous, and the army must travel by water.

Although it was defeated at Poyang Lake, Jingzhou still has the most powerful naval army in the world. Yizhou is not as good as Jiangdong, not only lacking warships to compete with Jingzhou, but also lacking naval generals. It is impossible for Liu Yu to plot against Jingzhou, at least not at present.

Excluding Jingzhou, only Hanzhong and Jiaozhou remain, and Liu Yu must intend to take one or both.

No matter what, Hanzhong must not let Liu Yu get it.

……

In Shan Xiongxin's secret letter, the situation in Hanzhong was reported in detail.

Hanzhong County, Yizhou, is located in the Hanzhong Basin between the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountain, and spans the Hanshui and Jialing rivers. It is connected to Liangzhou in the west, Yongzhou in the north, Bashu in the south, and Jingzhou in the east.

Hanzhong is surrounded by mountains, and the road in and out is long and narrow and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been a battleground for soldiers.

Between Yongliang and Bashu, the road is far away. The conquest of the large army made it extremely difficult to supply logistics. Whether it is the southern expedition or the northern expedition, Hanzhong must be occupied as a resting place for stockpiling grain and hiding soldiers.

Hanzhong is not a large area, the population is not large, and the main cities and populations are concentrated in the Nanzheng area in the western part of Hanzhong.

In recent years, there has been continuous war in Yongzhou, and tens of thousands of families have fled from Yongliang to Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu Zhang Gongqi, ancestral home Pei Guofeng County, the grandson of Zhang Ling, the ancestor of Tianshi Dao (Wudou Mi Dao).

Deeply pass the way of ghosts and gods in the family, and educate the people with five buckets of rice Taoism.

Calling himself "Shijun", according to the early and late stages of entering the Tao, the Taoists are divided into "ghost pawns", "sacrificial wine", "head sacrificial wine" and other levels. Do not set up officials according to Han law, but manage local government affairs with sacrificial wine, and implement ******** in Hanzhong, such as promoting Buddhism in Xuzhou Xiapi, the essence of **** is the policy of fooling the people.

Let the people believe in their way, indulge in their way, and be at their mercy.

However, Zhang Lu is more clever than Zhenrong's approach, and Wudou Midao is also more humane than Zhenrong's pseudo-Buddhism.

Zhang Lu inherited the teachings of his ancestors, taught the people to be honest and not to deceive, and made the patients turn themselves in; The offender is lenient three times, and if he repeats the offense, then the punishment is increased; If it is a minor offense, then build a hundred steps of the road to atone for your sins.

In accordance with the "Lunar Decree", slaughter is forbidden in spring and summer when all things grow, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol. He also founded a righteous house, which put righteous rice and meat in it and provided free food for passers-by.

The above and other practices make the five buckets of rice popular in Hanzhong. Especially in the Nanzheng area in the hinterland of Hanzhong, almost every household and everyone is a believer in Wudou Midao.

The followers were widespread, and Zhang Lu's rule in Hanzhong was extremely stable. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, if there is a war, believers take up arms and are warriors defending the Tao.

All the people are soldiers, and it is the most terrifying.

Because of this, for decades, those who coveted Hanzhong could not succeed.

Shan Xiongxin's secret letter also said that Ma Chao was defeated in Qishan, fled to Hanzhong, and was eager to take revenge, so he borrowed troops from Zhang Lu many times. Zhang Lu had no ambitions and didn't want to cause trouble, so he repeatedly refused.

Ma Chao is anxious, but under the fence, he can only endure it again and again.

In Shan Xiongxin's secret letter, he also reported in detail the situation of Zhang Lu's main believers and generals, Zhang Wei, Yan Pu, Zhang Jun, Liu Quan, Yang Ang, Yang Ren, Yang Song, Yang Bai and others.

……

Hanzhong is extremely important.

When Liu Mang and others were studying the decisive battle of Yongliang, they also studied a variety of plans to seize Hanzhong, but they were not satisfactory.

The information provided by Shan Xiongxin opened up Liu Mang's thinking.

The Hanzhong issue does not necessarily have to resort to force.

A peaceful solution is the best option.

Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong, but he had no ambition and no self-reliance. With good guidance, there is the possibility of returning.

To peacefully solve the Hanzhong problem, the trouble is not Zhang Lu, but Liu Yu.

Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, Zhang Lu has to be promoted by Liu Yan, and Zhang Lu's mother is good friends with the Liu family.

Liu Yu is capable and knowledgeable, and he will not let Zhang Lu take refuge in Luoyang.

If you want to successfully recover Hanzhong, you must try to sow discord between Liu Yu and Zhang Lu.

Liu Yu killed Liu Zhang, which was a usurpation.

Zhang Lu preached, paying attention to "virtue". Liu Yu killed his brother and usurped the throne, and he was unvirtuous. This is a way to drive a wedge between them.

At the same time, you can also use the influence of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is in the Yongliang area and has a great influence. Especially among the Qiang people, there is a very high prestige.

Under Yang Guang, in addition to the Western Liang Army, there are tens of thousands of tribes in the Western Regions.

If Ma Chao can be pulled into the decisive battle of Yongliang, he can not only take the opportunity to get closer to Zhang Lu, but also use his influence to drive a wedge between the various departments of the Western Regions and the Western Liang Army.

After careful analysis, Liu Mang became more confident in solving the Hanzhong problem.

Shan Xiongxin's secret letter also mentioned that it had been determined that all the pig iron purchased by Zhang Xianzhong was transferred to the Xiliang Army. The Western Liang Army is building the largest ironclad heavy cavalry team in history to prepare for the decisive battle of Yongliang.

Shan Xiongxin also said that a very reliable channel has been found and is trying to collect more detailed information on the Xiliang army.

Regarding the source of the intelligence, Shan Xiongxin did not elaborate.

However, Liu Mang found the answer from the system information.
