On the fourth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Zhongxing (195), Wanyan Zongwang dispersed the original team of the Northern Wang, supported by Chang Yuchun, his brother Wanyan Zongyao and others, declared independence, and declared his vassal to Luoyang in the form of tribute.

On the 18th of the same month, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong announced his independence from Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, and three days later spread the word to the world that he had reached an alliance with Yang Zaixing's department, and at the same time the news was that the alliance declared war on the forces of Zhu Yuanzhang, who were still breathing.

Please note that this is Zhang Lu announcing an alliance with Yang Zaixing, not the king of the north, and many people with a keen sense of smell have noticed this, and it is said that this kind of official document to the world has to be reviewed repeatedly, and this kind of mistake is impossible, so the literal meaning is a bit intriguing.

Combined with Wang Shouren and Wanyan Zongwang's announcement of their own forces, Yang Zaixing may have also moved his mind in this regard.

.......

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the hall, his brows were deeply locked at this time, Yang Zaixing was fortunate that he did not attack in a big way, but at present, it seems that the situation is getting more and more off track, on this single-plank bridge, I am afraid that a flaw is a situation from which there will be no return.

Liu Ji sighed, clasped his palms together, and said: "Lord, now that his command of King Li is falling apart, don't look at them fighting separately, but in terms of the current situation of our army, it is not considered to have been forced to a dead end." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "How can I say this." ”

Liu Ji replied: "That Yang Zaixing's military advisor is called Zhang Bu, I have fought with him several times before, although I have lost more and won less, but there is no factor that does not know the enemy and me, and now I have an understanding of his style of acting, even if I can't beat him, at least it is a five-five situation." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed cowardly, no matter in his past life or present life, his identity is a lowly person, he just knows that his identity is humble, so he is more interested in capable people, and he knows how to be a corporal of etiquette, so he seized the country.

But he is different at this time, he is facing one of the best strategists in the whole history, and there are fierce generals like Yang Zaixing, the most annoying thing is that a generation of handsome Xue Rengui has not broken out at the moment, otherwise he will definitely be even more depressed.

Now Liu Ji boasted that he could draw Zhang Bu, no matter how you look at this matter, but naturally he can't say it directly in front of his subordinates.

Instead, he said with some sincerity: "Berwyn is my ovary, why don't you help me directly?" ”

A trace of emotion flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, and he said: "Zhang Lu suddenly declared war on our army, there are two main points in this matter that can be certain, one is that Zhang Bu must have spent a lot of money to buy Zhang Lu's henchmen, and Zhang Lu is arrogant and arrogant, he is an unruly and empty-eyed person, so declaring war on our army is only the first step of his ambition, second, Zhang Bu's plan cannot be so simple, with his wisdom, it is impossible not to see that Zhang Lu is not a long-term ally, so we must figure out how to go in his second step before we can make a plan." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, Li Shanchang and others couldn't speak, Liu Ji did see through the essence, but the problem he faced could not be solved in a few words.

Speaking of Zhang Lu's life experience, let's talk about his father, Zhang Heng, this person is the second generation of Heavenly Masters of the Wudou Mi Sect (Legend has it that the first, second, third, and fourth generations of Heavenly Masters of the Wudou Mi Sect have all soared...... This Zhang Heng is not the great god of the geodynamic instrument), and he has left a name and surname in history.

And Zhang Lu's grandfather is familiar with it, Zhang Ling, also known as Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Five Doumi Sect, is called Zhengyi Zhenren, and Zhang Daoling is the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, the Marquis who helped Gaozu seize the world in the past, you can imagine how strong his family background is.

If King Li knew that Zhang Bu had designed his descendant Zhang Lu like this, he might have laughed......

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy army is seeking an alliance, and we can naturally do the same, why not contact the imperial court and ask them to support the army to help?" ”

Liu Ji shook his head and said: "No, now that the imperial court is watching the situation in the north, how can it divide troops to rescue, but the lord reminded me that allies do not necessarily need to be enemies of enemies." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and smiled, and hurriedly asked: "There is no one else in these four directions who can help me, I don't know who Berwyn is talking about?" ”

Liu Ji's eyes moved, and he spit out two unbelievable words: "Ma Chao! ”

The soldiers present were all stunned, and many people even shook their heads, thinking that Liu Ji had been killed and lost his mind, so he came up with such a ridiculous thing.

However, Li Shanchang's eyes lit up, and he clasped his hands together and said: "The military advisor has a great plan, I think I might as well give it a try." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, Li Shanchang obviously saw through something, looked at him curiously, and motioned to continue.

Li Shanchang said: "Although Yang Zaixing has not directly announced his separation from King Li's forces, his fangs have been exposed, my lord, do you think that if we collect evidence and then quietly hand it over to Ma Chao in Liangzhou, what do you say he will do?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and said: "If I were Ma Chao, on the premise of having my heart towards King Li, I would definitely lead a large army to inquire, if something was wrong, it would not be too much to even draw a sword against each other." ”

Liu Ji didn't laugh, and said calmly: "Don't expect too much from the lord, although Ma Chao's power is not small, he is not Yang Zaixing's opponent, and he can only delay it for a while, not a long-term solution." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then we can transfer these news to Li Jing, he has 50,000 horses, which is definitely enough for Yang Zaixing to drink a pot." ”

Liu Ji sighed in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously panicked, and he was in a mess, can't he see such a simple truth.

Zuo Yi said: "Lord, Li Jing's army has the duty of guarding and annexing the state, this is a gateway, not to mention that Yang Zaixing's army rebelled, even if the Huns knocked on the Yanmen Pass, he would not move like a mountain." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and also blamed himself for his nonsense......

However, Liu Ji continued: "Li Jing can't go, and the Huns can't go, but in addition to Ma Chao's "ally", there is one other person in our army who can also become our ally. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to answer this time, and the soldiers below didn't speak, but thought about who Liu Ji said in his heart.

Liu Zhang is possible, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, not to mention the long distance to and fro, just the rugged mountain road can block the footsteps of the army.

And Liu Biao ...... This person fights on both sides and has no time to take care of himself, so how can he divide his troops and take care of others?

At this time, Li Shanchang's eyes lit up, he looked at Liu Ji in disbelief, and said: "Admire and admire, the tactics of the military advisor are changeable, and I can't do it." ”

Liu Ji didn't dare to say anything, so he said the person's name and surname: "My lord, if you can become an ally, Zhang Lu is a great good." ”
