Chapter 386: Three-legged stand
Zhang Xiang's series of actions made Liu Bei understand what a real scoundrel is, which is completely different from his previous style of doing things, it seems to be nonsense, but the impact on Liu Bei is not small, Liu Bei has to say that it is amazing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Winter is really not suitable for combat, especially in the Xichuan Mountains, Zhuge Liang has no way to fight back, but Zhuge Liang has a way to defend, that is, to create an ice wall.
Ice walls are simple to make and can be built overnight as long as someone has them, and Liu Bei spent five days building ice walls around Chengdu, with two or three ice walls in some major places.
Zhang Xiang saw these in his eyes, but there was no way to stop it, the ice wall was simple to make but no different from the ordinary city wall, and it was easy to repair if it was damaged.
Zhang Xiang also had a plan to strike the army, the cold in Xichuan is completely different from the cold in the north, the cold in the north is very strong but not penetrating, but Xichuan is different, I feel that the cold wind can penetrate the bones, and Zhang Xiang's soldiers are very uncomfortable.
Zhang Xiang is no exception, sometimes he can wake up from sleep, especially after the second heavy snowfall, Liu Bei is really lucky that the ice wall has just been built, and it has snowed heavily, and the ice wall is stronger.
Many soldiers in the army suffered from the cold, Zhang Xiang also changed from a strike to a retreat, when Zhang Xiang and others left Yizhou, Liu Bei was relieved, this winter can finally be relieved.
However, Liu Bei did not take it lightly, and even ordered to continue to make ice walls, Liu Bei suffered a loss once, but he didn't want to eat a second time, Zhang Xiang always appeared in unexpected places.
Liu Bei had already been taught, so he stepped up his precautions, Zhang Xiang and others returned to Chang'an all the way, and everyone was still more adapted to life in the north, but as soon as Zhang Xiang returned to Chang'an, Guo Jia came to the door.
After the winter, Guo Jia returned to Chang'an first, and Zhang Xiang and others in Xichuan couldn't adapt to that place, let alone Guo Jia, Zhang Xiang asked him to come back first for Guo Jia's body.
Guo Jia: "Lord, Zhang Lu's side is very non-stop. “
Zhang Xiang: "It seems that this Zhang Lu's ability is not small!" There are more Hu people than Han people in that place in Zhangye County, and his ability to deceive people can still develop, which is really amazing. “
After Zhang Lu took refuge in Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang fulfilled his promise and named Zhang Lu as the county guard of Zhangye, and the land belonged to Liangzhou in chaos.
Instead, he adopted the method of doing nothing, Liangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many Hu people, and if it is really troublesome to govern, Zhang Xiang simply gave up and regarded Liangzhou as a place to recruit soldiers.
As long as the people of Liangzhou do not rebel, Zhang Xiang is very content, so he let Zhang Lu become the county guard of Zhangye, and it can also be said that Zhang Lu is left to fend for himself, but Zhang Xiang did not expect that Zhang Lu would resurrect.
Guo Jia: "Zhang Lu developed disciples in Zhangye, and there are many Hu people among them, and these Hu people are all cavalry!" The lord still has to bang and beat. “
Zhang Xiang: "There's no need to beat, Fengxiao, your heart is too soft, even if Zhang Lu is a weak person after all, and now he is subject to me, if he is surrounded by my people, he will naturally not dare to make trouble." “
Guo Jia: "It doesn't happen overnight to install personnel, and Zhang Lu is also a lot of doubts. “
Zhang Xiang: "Are you still the Guo Jia I know?" How did the idea become so rigid, just arrange it directly without insertion, does Zhang Lu dare to resist? Since he can bewitch the Hu people, it is also a good thing, and it is more useful to use it in the right place than thousands of troops. ”
Guo Jia: "Can Zhang Lu do it?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "Is this like Guo Jia?" If you can't try it, you will know, anyway, now it seems that Zhang Lu does have such ability, the nomadic life of the Hu people outside the Saiwai is a problem that can never be solved, and if they can fall into infighting, we will also have peace of mind. ”
Zhang Lu didn't know that he was being remembered, and when he found out, the guards around him were replaced by Zhang Xiang's people, in fact, Zhang Lu was still very restrained after entering Zhangye, but after all, the emperor was far away.
Zhang Xiang fell into the Xichuan battlefield and had no time to take care of him, and over time, Zhang Lu relaxed his awe, and the old problem was committed again, and he began to develop disciples, and now Zhang Lu looked at Jiang Kai and regretted it in his heart!
Jiang Kai looked at Zhang Lu and felt very uncomfortable, he had led troops well in the army, and even participated in the Battle of Xichuan, in fact, his five-short figure was still very suitable for the Battle of the Mountains and Forests.
But he was suddenly transferred by Zhang Xiang to such a place where birds don't, and he was also a guard Zhang Lu, in Jiang Kai's eyes, Zhang Lu was a big fat pig, so he should have been slaughtered early, otherwise it would be a waste of food.
But fortunately, Zhang Xiang promised that as long as Jiang Kai stayed in Zhangye for three years, he would be transferred back, provided that he was optimistic about Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu also received Zhang Xiang's order to let him develop Hu followers and let Hu people have civil strife.
It was revealed that Zhang Lu was fortunate to be able to save his life, so naturally he would not disobey the order, Zhang Lu changed the Wudoumi Sect to the Killing Sect, Zhang Lu's ability is indeed a bit special, and he doesn't know how to govern if he doesn't know martial arts.
But it can deceive people's hearts, the Han people are much smarter than the Hu people, and there are many Han people who have fallen in love with his way, not to mention the barbaric and vulgar Hu people, Zhang Lu's killing Tao has changed the doctrine, which is very in line with the appetite of the Hu people.
If the Wudou Rice Sect has a little bit of the rudiments of Taoism, then the Killing Sect is the prototype of the cult, and it is important to pay attention to killing to achieve the Tao and ascend to heaven, and it is inevitable that some Han people will suffer in the process.
But what is even more unlucky is the Hu people, Zhang Lu is still doing this well, Zhang Xiang is also turning waste into treasure, Zhang Lu is also very satisfied with his current life, but only one person is very unhappy.
That is Zhang Lu's adviser Yan Pu, Yan Pu is indeed a loyal minister, even if it is Zhang Lu's appearance, he also serves the left and right, after Yan Pu entered Zhangye, Zhang Xiang once recruited him, and his loyalty also moved Zhang Xiang.
It's a pity that he was directly rejected by Yan Pu, and now he saw Zhang Lu's situation, and actually came to Chang'an to see Zhang Xiang in person, "Lord Zhou Mu, we are subordinates, and we should not be treated like this." ”
Zhang Xiang: "What kind of treatment, aren't you doing well?" ”
Yan Pu: "I advocate that Lu be the county guard, but he does something demagoguing, isn't this instructed by the state pastor?" Isn't that good? ”
Zhang Xiang: "As far as I know, Zhang Lu is very willing, and the bewitchment is indeed instructed by me, but Zhang Lu is also to blame, he has developed disciples, you should also know, I didn't deal with him, can't he reflect my tolerance?" ”
Yan Pu: "Lord Zhou Mu is not tolerant, but using my lord to weaken the Hu people. ”
Zhang Xiang: "Isn't that a great thing?" Isn't it even more rare to have such an opportunity with Zhang Lu's person? You, Yan Pu, are also talented and learned, so you should know what I'm talking about? ”
Yan Pu: "The person who asks the state priest to remove the surveillance, I dare to guarantee that the lord will not make trouble." ”
Zhang Xiang: "With Zhang Lu's character, he will indeed not make trouble, and Mr. Yan is also a man of his word, but what about Zhang Lu's juniors?" Zhang Lu has ten sons and ten daughters, among whom may not be without ambition, so they have to guard against it! However, Mr. Yan can rest assured that Zhang Luwu will not move lightly. ”
Yan Pu: "Isn't it possible for the state pastor to open the net?" ”
Zhang Xiang: "Mr. Yan, I actually didn't know what you wanted to do? Obviously capable but to assist Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu is the son of everyone Zhang Heng, he is not suitable for governing the place, you are interceding for him, but he doesn't think so, is it really necessary? Everyone has their own aspirations, but don't waste your talents. ”
Yan Pu resigned, but didn't say anything? still returned to Zhangye and returned to Zhang Lu's side, this may be Yuzhong! Zhang Xiang felt that foolish loyalty was more valuable than loyalty.
Naturally, he didn't send anyone to disturb him, but Yan Pu's body was deteriorating, and he died at the beginning of spring, Zhang Xiang could only sigh that it was a pity, Yan Pu's aftermath was handled by Zhang Lu himself.
Zhang Lu is still a little hearty, at least he treats Yan Pu with his heart, Yan Pu is not the wrong person, after Yan Pu's death, his family was taken to Chang'an by Zhang Xiang, Yan Pu is knowledgeable and capable.
His son is naturally not bad, Yan Pu has five sons with their own strengths, Zhang Xiang wants to keep them for his own use, it would be a pity to stay in Zhangye's place, Yan Pu can be regarded as a successor.
Yan Pu's five sons were willing to go out under Zhang Xiang, and it was much easier to deal with than Yan Pu, and after the beginning of spring, a sensational event occurred in the south, and Sun Ce, Liu Bei, and Shixie were united.
There was a trend of resisting the north, and the situation in the world changed in an instant, from the melee of the princes to the confrontation between the north and the south, but the south was integrated, while Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao fought separately.
The strength of the three families in the south together is not to be underestimated, so that Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao have stopped, at this time, those divisive plans are useless, and the southern forces have been integrated.
Zhang Xiang also felt that he and Cao Cao were a little too tight, so it would have such an effect, and he didn't eat meat and had teeth, the strength of the three southern families was actually incompatible, and the problems surrounding Jingzhou were inseparable.
But there was no fighting, because of the current foreign enemy, Zhang Xiang had to write a letter to Cao Cao, discussing not to send troops for the time being, and Cao Cao replied after receiving the letter and looking at it.
Cao Cao actually has this intention, the three forces in the south have gathered together, and they already have the strength to counterattack, which cannot be solved by either Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao, so it is natural to think in the long run.
However, this time Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao did not propose a union, because the two knew very well that they could no longer unite, and suddenly the world became a three-legged situation, Zhang Xiang had the most elite cavalry, Cao Cao had the richest territory, and the Southern Alliance did have the most generals.
The war that was about to take place was also terminated because of the change in the situation, and although the three parties defended each other, they did not strike first, and the people of the world had a rare calm. (To be continued.) )
