Chapter Ninety-Eight: Liangzhou Comes
"Ju'an?"
As soon as Liu Chen heard this name, he had a very familiar feeling, but his eyes turned left and then right, and he still didn't have a clue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The last general, Huang Chen, has seen the lord and the envoy!"
At this moment, Huang Chen's rather majestic figure walked to the main hall, and then saluted Liu Chen and Ju An respectively.
Ju'an was shocked when he saw Huang Chen, he originally heard that Fangling had fallen, and he was still a little suspicious, after all, Huang Chen's ability and reputation were good, but unexpectedly, such a person surrendered to a person who had just become famous.
Seeing Ju'an and looking at Liu Chen's expression, Huang Chen knew that Liu Chen was not familiar with this person, and hurriedly introduced:
"General Ju was once a general under the general Jiang Wei, and then he was surrendered by Muhou Chen Tai and General Che Cai, and is now a general of Wei."
Hearing this, Liu Chen suddenly realized, and he said how could he be so familiar, it turned out that he had this kind of identity, and it was not surprising that he was quite famous in the history of Shu Han calligraphy.
Liu Chen vaguely remembered that Jiang Wei ordered Ju'an and Li Xin to lead 15,000 soldiers to build two cities in front of the Lushan Mountain: Ju'an guarded the east city and Xin guarded the west city.
Guo Huai was the assassin of Yongzhou, and ordered the deputy general Chen Tai to attack, Ju'an and the two were trapped in the city because they were invincible, Li Xin desperately fought for help, and Ju'an, who couldn't wait, was titled on the spot.
Looking back, Liu Chen couldn't help but feel disgusted, and he didn't lose his previous enthusiasm, and said flatly:
"Say, what did Cao Huan do here?"
"Presumptuous, dare to insult my majesty?"
The inconspicuous servant next to him also took off his coarse cloth clothes, dressed as a martial artist in the rivers and lakes, but when he heard the words, he was furious, and the copper bell stared at Liu Chen with big eyes, and his fists were clenched, as if he was about to fight if he didn't get along.
Liu Chen smiled faintly, there is no shortage of dynasties that worship the ruler as a god, but he is not angry, and it is not worth it to fight with a reckless man for that unwarranted anger.
Seeing that Liu Chen was changing so quickly, although he was angry, he still waved his hand to stop his entourage and said:
"On the order of the Great Sima Army, I came to discuss with the king about jointly sending troops to fight the rebellion."
Liu Chen's face was surprised, and he thought for a while and said:
"Rebellion is just a matter for your country, and this king is just taking back the city of my Han family, and the two have nothing to do with it, so why do you need to form an alliance?"
Speaking of this, seeing Huang Chen's gaze, Liu Chen understood, and then asked:
"Even if we form an alliance, what good will it be for our Han Kingdom?"
The previous words made Ju An angry for a while, thinking that this mission was going to return in vain, Liu Chen's next words made him breathe a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly said:
"Da Sima's intentions, if you can conspire to send troops and send troops to Nanyang, then cede Xiangyang County and your country, this Zhongli City, I'm afraid it's not small, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and after talking for a long time, he didn't get any benefits, but thinking about it carefully, it seems that except for Liangzhou and a few cities in Yongzhou, there is nothing else that can be taken out.
"Xiangyang? This king wants to be able to wave his own division to get it, why do you need to ask for the consent of your country, this Zhongli City, there is no benefit, come to people, send guests! ”
Ju An wanted to say something, but was "sent" out by the guards who came in immediately, looking at the two who were unwilling to go away, Liu Chen's eyes flashed, and he seemed to feel something.
"My lord, now that the three kingdoms are fighting against the Jin thieves, why don't you form an alliance, the benefits in this are more than fighting separately."
Even Huang Chen couldn't understand Liu Chen, which was originally a good thing, like Liu Chen had asked people to lobby Wu to send troops before, but at this time Liu Chen was so resolute, it was a bit like the wrong act of abolishing the public because of personal feelings.
Liu Chen just smiled when he heard this, he didn't know what Huang Chen and Zhong Hui meant, it was nothing more than three points to talk about the Jin Kingdom, and each would get a benefit.
But Liu Chen thinks differently from them, he just wants to take advantage of the opportunity, cripple the powerful Jin Kingdom, and then go back to rectify the court.
"Shu Heng thinks that this is the opportunity to carve up the Jin Kingdom?"
As soon as Liu Chen said this, Huang Chen was stunned, thought for a while and asked:
"Oh! Is the lord afraid that the Wu State will become bigger and become the second threat to the Han State of Wei? ”
It can be seen that the biggest profit among them will be Wu Guo, which shows Huang Chen's vision.
Indeed, the Three Kingdoms tried their best, and the final benefit was the first in the Wu State, for no other reason, the Wu State was located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has developed steadily for decades, and it is no longer comparable to the Han State that is huddled in Shuchuan.
In addition, even if the remnant Wei wins, it will be half of the country full of holes, surrounded by strong enemies, and it will have to clean up the mess, I am afraid that Wei will be the weakest one by then.
"Shu Heng, this is really not the time to decide the world in one fell swoop, don't look at this king here to attack the city and plunder the land, how mighty it is, but my Han has long been declining, and it really needs time to develop."
After thinking about it for a while, Liu Chen still said his thoughts, after all, Huang Chen is the second general to call him the lord, how can he be suspicious, and his actions do need some understanding and support.
As soon as Liu Chen said this, Huang Chen suddenly woke up, and also heard Liu Chen's trust, and did not say anything, and sincerely bowed instead of thousands of advice.
Liu Chen also stepped forward to help him up, smiled slightly, and then said:
"Shu Heng, this king took away 20,000 soldiers and horses, and you have the confidence to guard the tomb for half a month?"
When Liu Chen said this, Huang Chen was also a little puzzled, not that he was just picking peaches while he was in chaos, why did he take the initiative to attack, but he also knew Liu Chen's character, so he didn't ask, and said firmly:
"If the lord can trust the last general, don't say half a month, what's so difficult about two months?"
Although Liu Chen also knew that there was some reassuring ingredients in his words, he was still very satisfied, patted the strong shoulder and said:
"Shu Heng lives up to this king, and this king will also remember this situation, Fang Ling has a heavy responsibility, please!"
After that, he had a long secret conversation with Huang Chen, and then went to Zhang Yi, the general of the chariot cavalry, and had a long conversation for nearly an hour, until he was getting westward and leaning, and then he walked out of the camp.
That night, 20,000 elite soldiers drawn from 40,000 people quietly left the city, because they had been prepared before, and the elite soldiers were arranged outside the camp outside the city, so the action was very hidden, and almost no one noticed.
Thirty miles to the west, Liu Chen and Wen Yang had a secret conversation for a long time under the isolation of many guards, and after that, Wen Yang led 5,000 troops to the north. Liu Chen led his troops to continue westward.
The horses were wrapped in their feet, and everyone was silent, so it was obviously the action of more than 10,000 troops, and it was very quiet.
After that, Liu Chen's army in the south entered the Cangmang Jing Mountain, and there was no trace of it.
After gathering in the past four days, all places outside Fancheng City were finally covered by soldiers and horses from various counties in Jingbei.
On the fourth day, that is, the day after Liu Chen's army disappeared, Yang Jun arrived in the carriage given by the emperor, and after lunch, he ordered the commanders of the various armies to gather for discussion.
"Lord Sima, you led 50,000 troops to attack the invading enemy this time, which can be regarded as the first battle of our Great Jin Kingdom, after this battle, your lord will be like the sky, and your achievements will be high, haha!"
At the beginning, a person complimented him like this, so that Yang Jun, who was still a little weak-hearted, was suddenly encouraged, and the tiger's waist was straightened, but the bulging belly was exposed, the former didn't care, and still looked very majestic.
"My lord, this Liu Chen's army of nearly 40,000 is entrenched in Fangling, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a long time, why not divide the troops to attack Shangyong, make it difficult to take care of the first place, and then go down in one fell swoop?"
It was Yuan Min, the general of the water division, who had just received the order to go ashore to discuss matters, and there was still a water division on the river to trace the vigilance.
Hearing this, Yang Jun seemed to be a little moved, and I have to say that if he won the two cities like this, it would be much lighter.
"Neither nor not!"
But at this moment, a loud voice sounded, and it was very clear in the silent hall, and everyone who heard it looked at the place where the voice came from.
"What? If a plan fails, could it be that this general has a clever plan? ”
In this place where the generals gathered, Yuan Min's suggestion was directly refuted, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry, and couldn't help but speak excitedly.
Yang Jun also looked over, but found that the person who was gorgeously dressed and ranked before the general knew who it was, and he immediately disliked it, and said:
"Wang Tingshi, General Yuan is a good strategy, why do you speak like this?"
These words obviously meant reproach, but Wang Rong didn't care, still smiling, and he didn't disrespect Yang Jun.
In fact, there is a reason why Yang Jun does not want to see him Wang Rong, Wang Rong and Jia Chong became Weng's son-in-law, and he is a member of the Jia family, and Yang Jun has instinctive hostility towards Jia Chong's party.
"Lord Sima, please think about it, if you really defeat Shu according to this, it is just an ordinary feat, and it is not worth the feats of Chang'an's defense, if the army takes Fangling head-on, it will not only achieve immortal feats, but also deter Wu Shuwei and some people with bad intentions, and then Lord Sima's merit will really be regarded as outstanding!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jun couldn't help but look at this unattractive person, and the rejection in his heart went five points, and he began to slowly accept Wang Rong.
Needless to say, Wang Rong is talented, he also has a characteristic of being flattering, otherwise with his family, how can he get into Jia Chong's eyes?
