Chapter 236: Huo Jun's Determination
Liu Qi listened to Zhang Song's words, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and then he shouted: "Zhang don't drive, please forgive this official for not agreeing to this matter, this officer and soldier are not for their own sake and thousands of miles to beg for thieves, this official is for the Han family, Liu Zhang's father and son have been entrenched in Sichuan for more than ten years, disrespecting the orders of the imperial court, and plotting to divide the territory, as the official of the dynasty, how can he sit idly by?" Ziqiao, if you come to see the official as a friend, the official will definitely sweep the couch to greet him, if you are to negotiate peace for Liu Zhang, then don't blame the official for turning his face, you can go back and tell Liu Zhang, as long as he is willing to surrender, the official can go to the court and allow him to keep the title, if he is obsessed, then don't blame the official for not remembering the love of the clan. β
Zhang Song listened to Liu Qi's words, not only was he not unhappy, but he was ecstatic. He originally thought that Liu Qi didn't understand the hint he had secretly persuaded him to take Yizhou before, but now that he heard it, he already understood his hint, how could he not like it in his heart?
But he also wanted to test Liu Qi, so he said lightly: "Lord Taiwei, in fact, if you refuse to agree, I am afraid that we are in a dying struggle, and you may not have any benefits, for example, one of my Yizhou engaged in Zheng Du said: "I want to move all the people along the road from Mianzhu to Chengdu in Yizhou, burn the plank road, so that your army has nothing to gain all the way, your army has a large number of people, and it is difficult to receive grain and grass. You will definitely be able to defeat your army, and it may not even be impossible to capture the adults alive. β
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi sneered: "Liu Zhang's vain attempt to defeat our army in this way is simply a fool's dream, this official has been fighting for many years, how can he not know the importance of unblocking the grain route?" This official ordered my Jingzhou famous general Wen Zhongye to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to escort grain and grass, and the army was equipped with crossbows and iron knives, even if he encountered an ambush by your army, he was not afraid. As for Pang Xi, he may not be able to obediently cooperate with Liu Zhang and become an enemy of our army without authorization, so he is not afraid that I will join Zhang Lu to invade his territory? What's more, although this strategy will cause some trouble to our army, although Liu Zhang is ignorant, his heart is not bad, and he can bear to cause the people to move everywhere, so I expect that Zheng Du's plan will definitely not work, and even he himself will be in danger of being dismissed. β
Zhang Song was shocked when he heard this, and said with admiration: "What Lord Taiwei said is not? My lord did not adopt Zheng Du's plan, but dismissed him from office, and the lower officials admired the judgment of the adults. To tell the truth, the reason why today's lower officials persuaded my lord to negotiate peace with my lord is mainly to take a look at the demeanor of the legendary Corporal Lixian's Taiwei, and at the same time to give a gift to the adult, hoping that the adult will do his best to calm the chaos in Yizhou, so that the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou can live a peaceful life. β
After finishing speaking, Zhang Song took out a thing from his sleeve, which was a fifteen-foot square silk silk, on which the geographical itinerary was written, far and near, the mountains and rivers were dangerous, and the treasury money and grain were all loaded to understand, only to see Zhang Song hand this thing to Liu Qi, and said respectfully: "Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the country of abundance, worthy of its name, guiding my lord Liu Jiyu is not the master, the intelligent people in Shu are eager for the master, and the adults are at the right time." Today's adults from Jingxiang's people, long drive to the west, hegemony can be achieved, the Han family can be prosperous, Song pretended to make this Xichuan geographical map, will be my Yizhou geographical itinerary, far and near, mountains and rivers are dangerous, treasury money and grain, troop distribution and other things are all contained one by one, dedicated to the front of the adults, can help the adults to help. β
When Liu Qi saw the picture, he was overjoyed, took Zhang Song's hand and said: "Ziqiao treats him like this, the official is ashamed of it, please rest assured Ziqiao, the official will not forget your patriotic and loyal heart, and when Yizhou is pacified, he will definitely ask for credit for Ziqiao to be awarded the title." β
Zhang Song hurriedly thanked him, and then said: "In this case, the lower officials will wait for the good news of Ming Gong, without further ado, Ming Gong can quickly figure it out." Song has two confidants and friends: Fa Zheng, Meng Da, these two also agreed to help each other to get things, such as when the two of them go to the adult camp, they can discuss things together, the time is not early, the next official is going to leave, I hope that when we see the adults, we are in Chengdu. β
After finishing speaking, Zhang Song said goodbye to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi, Wang Cang and others got up to see each other, and when they were leaving, they suddenly reminded: "This official has long heard that Brother Zhang Su is very loyal to Liu Zhang, and after Ziqiao returns to Chengdu, don't persuade him to return to his own official, otherwise, I'm afraid that something bad will happen to Ziqiao." β
When Zhang Song heard this, he couldn't help but feel a slight shock all over his body, and then thanked Liu Qi for his reminder, and then said goodbye to Liu Qi and slowly went on the road.
Zhang Song walked for several miles, suddenly remembered something, and turned back.
Liu Qi saw Zhang Song go and returned, and was busy asking why, but he heard Zhang Song say slowly: "This time Song returned to Chengdu, the trip should not be too fast, if Ming Gong rushes to attack Luo County before Xia Guan returns to Chengdu, Liu Jiyu will definitely not be prepared, and as long as Luo County is breached, Chengdu will lose its barrier, and my lord will only have one way to surrender under the fear." This is a great opportunity to lose. β
Liu Qi held Zhang Song's hand and said emotionally: "Ziqiao, thank you for your kindness." Ziqiao, please rest assured that this official will definitely live up to expectations. β
After sending Zhang Song away, Liu Qi immediately summoned Gan Ning, Huo Jun, Jia Xu, Pang Tong, Wang Cang, Liu Shi, Zhang Tong, Kan Ze, Zhuge Jin and other civil and military generals to come to discuss the matter.
As soon as the civil and military generals heard Liu Qi convene the meeting, they knew that they should be attacking Yuxian, and they all came to the tent very quickly, from Liu Qi's order to the completion of everyone's assembly, it took less than five minutes before and after.
Seeing that everyone acted so quickly, and there was a look of yearning in his eyes, Liu Qi was very satisfied, slowly glanced at it, and then said solemnly: "Presumably everyone can guess the purpose of this official to summon everyone here, everyone is right, today I summoned everyone here, there is only one thing, that is, to discuss the county, today's county can be said to be a strong city soup pool, the defender is the famous general Zhang Ren in Sichuan, this person is strong in martial arts, brave soldiers, but also quite understands the art of war strategy, is really a strong opponent of ours, Therefore, we must go all out and concentrate as many forces as possible to crush the enemy army, and it is precisely because of this that the garrison of Zhan Mianzhu will be empty, so it is necessary to have a solid battle to defend this place. β
When Liu Qi said this, he turned his gaze to Huo Jun who was not far away, and said solemnly: "Zhong Miao, I allocated you 3,000 soldiers and horses and ordered you to garrison Mianzhu, I don't know if you have this confidence?" β
"Three thousand centaurs?" Hearing Liu Qi's words, all the civil and military generals felt a heavy pressure, and even Pang Tong, who had always been resourceful, felt that this time it was a little too risky. Because the number of people given by the lord Liu Qi is too small, there are more than 10,000 enemy troops in Fuxian alone, plus the 3,000 troops transferred from Mianzhu to Fuxian before, this is more than 13,000 people, as well as Pang Xi from Brazil, Zhang Su from Guanghan, Xiang Cun from Fuxian, Gao Pei Yang Huai from Fushui Pass, Zitong and others, the total strength is probably no less than 30,000 people, with only 3,000 men and horses to hold the attack of 30,000 troops, anyone feels bottomless, not to mention that Huo Jun is just an ordinary general. How can you be so sure?
Unexpectedly, Huo Jun agreed calmly: "No, the last general will promise not to live up to the expectations of the lord." β
"This, I really agreed, it seems that Huo Zhongmiao is almost crazy in order to make meritorious contributions, but looking at his expression so calmly, could it be that he really holds the pearl of wisdom? But how is this possible? It's a pair of 10 Billy. Kan Ze and Zhuge Jin glanced at each other, and they both saw the incredulity in each other's eyes.
These two people are Sun Quan's old subordinates, although they are also conscientious and spare no effort to do their own things after they surrender to Liu Qi. But after all, Cheng DΓΉ is not as familiar with some of the generals around Liu Qi as others, although he knows that Huo Jun has always been calm, but it is expected that it will be difficult to hold the 30,000-strong army in turn, and originally thought that Huo Jun would put forward some requirements, such as sending reinforcements, asking the wise man to help defend the defense, etc., but he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
However, they did not dare to question the decision of the lord, because a tradition has long been formed in the army, and the lord Liu Qi can boldly discuss before making a decision, and it doesn't matter if he even accuses him in person, but once the decision is made, it will not be changed.
But seeing Liu Qi smiled, and then said: "Zhuang Zhong Miao, since this is the case, this official appointed Zhong Miao as the Guanghan Taishou, led the general Wuwei, and led the army of 3,000 to garrison Mianzhu as a barrier for our army, and the other soldiers will all go with me to conquer Luo County, and be sure to seize Yu County, threaten Chengdu, and force Liu Zhang to surrender." We will assemble at the school yard in two hours, and at that time, we will follow my orders and set off for Luo County, and we must rush to the city of Luo County before dark. β
"No." When all the generals heard this, they all stood up and said to Liu Qi respectfully.
Then the military meeting was dissolved, and all the civil and military forces were ready to appear, and appeared on time at the school yard two hours later.
After Liu Qi mobilized for the war as usual, he immediately led the army to Luoxian, leaving Huo Jun to lead an army of 3,000 to guard Mianzhu.
"Please rest assured, although there are only 3,000 people, the last general will definitely do his best to defend Mianzhu." Huo Jun stood at the head of the city, looked at the dust of Liu Qi's army and said silently.
Immediately saw Huo Jun's eyes shoot a gleam, and then ordered to reorganize the soldiers and horses, and make every effort to prepare for battle, he knew that what he faced next would be an unprecedented challenge, but his heart was like fire, brave and fearless, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter how many soldiers and horses came, they would definitely stop under Mianzhu City.
