Linjiang County, near Jiangzhou, although it is the night of early March, the night still looks a little hazy. Xu Shu said to Hua Fei in such a night: "It is said that this person is a native of Linjiang, Ba County, and his surname is Gan and Ning. ”

"Sure enough, it's him!" When Hua Fei heard this, he clapped his hands again and shouted, "This person should still be a young man who has just turned eighteen or nine, right?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he stretched out his hand and glared at him, and exclaimed, "How did the lord know?" ”

"Uh......" Hua Fei was surprised by Gan Ning's appearance, and he didn't control himself for a while, but he slipped out again. I had to wave my hand and argue forcefully, "This person is famous in Jiangzhou, I just heard his reputation by chance." ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "This person is young and chivalrous, entangled with death, with white feathers hanging on his head, ringing rings in his ears, and has an irritable and rigid temperament, and he will beat or even kill people at every turn." It is said that in this Jiangzhou area, he has never met an opponent, but he is indeed very famous. ”

Hua Fei waved his hand and smiled: "Yuan Zhi doesn't have to worry about him, having Ziyi is enough to be right with this person." In the current Jiangzhou City, apart from Gan Ning, who will be Wen Chang's opponent? ”

Saying that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "And when the time comes, Zhong Kang of the rear army will also lead people to come to help before the action, I don't think Jiangzhou needs to worry." ”

Xu Shu also felt that it made sense when he heard it, but he asked aloud: "Right now, Liu Yanjun's information is almost neat, I don't know what arrangements the lord can have?" ”

Hua Fei turned the Buddha beads in the faint scent of sandalwood and said slowly: "The defensive forces in the area of White Emperor City are weak, and there are no fierce generals to defend it, and there are two generals Huo Jun and Wu Xu to assist Lu Su, I think there should be no problem in taking this area." ”

"The lord is not bad!" Xu Shu listened and nodded in agreement.

Hua Fei continued: "Therefore, I plan to mobilize the second generals Xu Chu and Xu Sheng, as well as the five thousand Tuntian soldiers of the rear army, and go to Linjiang County in batches to obey orders. ”

Saying that, he paused again, turned the Buddha beads and thought for a while, before he continued: "Chengdu is the top priority of this operation, and the chief of the Wen is strong in martial arts and has a plan. What I mean is that Wen Chang was dispatched to lead 4,000 elite horsemen to march towards the front line of Deyang in batches, ready to meet Chen Deng's uprising at any time. ”

"Deyang County is more than 300 miles away from Chengdu in the west, and more than 300 miles away from Jiangzhou in the east." Xu Shu listened to the sword and paced slowly, "If the elite cavalry of our army is tuned here, with the speed of cavalry, it will only take one day to rush to the two cities, and it should be like this." ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's just that the action of the elite cavalry is very powerful, and it is easy to attract attention. Shu thought that the lord did not need to remind Wen Chang and let him pay attention to hiding his whereabouts. ”

Hua Fei smiled slightly, and said, "That's why I asked Wen Chang to lead the elite cavalry to act. Wen Chang grew up and walked through the mountains since he was a child, and he was very good at the hidden things in the mountains and forests. I think that with the ability of the writer, I will definitely do this thoroughly. ”

Xu Shu nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Hua Fei turned the Buddha bead in his palm and continued: "As for the remaining four thousand elite horsemen, they originally belonged to Ziyi's old department. I intend to order Ziyi to lead them, and they are distributed in the area of Pingdu and Changshou from here to Jiangzhou. At any time, you can respond to our Jiangzhou action. ”

"That's amazing!" Xu Shu high-fived and admired, but hesitated and said, "It's just that Jiangzhou fierce general Gan Ning, but who do you want to deal with?" ”

"Yuan Zhi doesn't know." Hua Fei waved his hand and smiled, "Zhong Kang's bravery is no worse than Ziyi's, it is enough to match Nagan Xingba." What's more, there are Xu Sheng and He Man to help, Ziyi is just around the corner, although Gan Ning is brave, it is not enough to be troubled. ”

Xu Shu didn't know that Hua Fei had other calculations in his heart, and after listening to his words, he just groaned and asked again: "The lord has repeatedly said that Mianzhu will have something ominous, but I don't know if the lord can know the specific date?" ”

Hua Fei turned the Buddha bead and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "This big ominous thing should happen before April. ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he closed his eyes and let out a long "exhale". Said softly to Hua Fei.

"If so, great! At present, our army is spending a lot of money every day, and the family resources donated by Lu Zhu and Chen Deng are about to be exhausted recently. Shu was worried about the military rations. It's the end of March, and it's not far from April. If it can be done in April, it is expected that our army's military rations will be sufficient to support it. ”

Hua Fei turned the Buddha beads and thought for a while, and then said: "You can let Ziyi and Wenchang assign fine horses, go back and forth from Chengdu to the White Emperor, and transport the specialties of Jingyi and the two states in a fake show, and sell them to earn profits for military use." ”

Xu Shu nodded in response, "Oh!" He also discussed with Huafei the specific steps of the action. That night, in order to successfully capture Xichuan, the two conspired for a long time all night, until the sky was dark.

The next day, Hua Fei passed down an order, and the generals led the troops according to the order, and the armies on the front line from Baidi City to Chengdu acted secretly.

At the beginning of mid-March in the spring, Hua Fei received information that after Zhang Lu sent his brother Zhang Wei to lead his troops to Dasanguan, he was sluggish. However, Ma Teng fought with Li Dao and others in Chang'an, and after holding each other for a few days, Xiliang Han then led troops to help Ma Teng.

The two armies fought at Changpingguan, west of Chang'an, and finally the Liangzhou army was defeated and fled. Liu Yan's eldest son and second son, due to collusion with Ma Teng, both died after this battle.

There is Pang Xi, an old acquaintance of Liu Yan, but he found Liu Yan's grandchildren in the chaotic army and escorted him into Xichuan. When Liu Yan heard that his second son was dead, he howled and grieved for days.

As the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children. Perhaps it was because God did not go all out to attack Chang'an for the sake of retribution, but only sent 5,000 soldiers to help Ma Teng, which led to the defeat of Ma Teng's army and the death of his second son.

In the middle of March, Mianzhu County suddenly had a strong wind, dark clouds, and then thunder and lightning flashed as if the world had not yet arrived.

On that day, thunder and lightning struck Mianzhu, and not a drop of rain fell, but it alone burned down all the thousands of Luan cars built by Liu Yan. The fire spread, and the entire Mianzhu City was burned to the ground.

In desperation, Liu Yan had to lead the army and civilians to move to Chengdu. Due to the influx of a large number of people, Chengdu was extremely chaotic for a while.

At the beginning of late March, Liu Yan, a masterpiece of his generation, finally lost his son due to old age, excessive grief, and was frightened by the Mianzhu fire, and even became ill!

Before his death, Liu Yan entrusted Liu Zhang to Zhao Wei, Dong Fu, and the new Pang Xi and others in the old department. These people saw that Liu Zhang was gentle and honest, so they went to Chang'an on the one hand, and played Liu Zhang to take over as Yizhou Mu; On the one hand, Liu Zhang was arranged to hurry up to the throne and take over the power of Yizhou.

At this time, the money and food in Huafei's army were becoming scarce day by day, but they still did not move. Xu Shu was so anxious that he almost ran away.

In late March, Hua Fei finally waited for the news of the key figures on the trip. Liu Biao of Jingzhou secretly sent Liu Biao under his command to secretly enter Jiangzhou and secretly contact Shen Mi, the guard general of Jiangzhou.

At the same time, Liu Yan's old general Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong, did not know what his intentions were, and he actually welcomed the newly sent by the Chang'an Imperial Court to serve as the pastor of Yizhou, and Yingchuan Humao entered the Hanzhong area.

Liu Zhang was furious when he heard the report, and he killed Zhang Lu's mother and brother. He also urgently entrusted the lonely minister Dong Fu, and led the soldiers of Zitong County to resist the Sword Pavilion, so that Hu Mao could not enter the Sichuan.

Zhang Lu heard that Liu Zhang had killed his mother and brother, and after howling sadly, he ordered his brother Zhang Wei to lead an army of 30,000 to threaten Jiange Pass. The two armies were in front of the Sword Pavilion, and the swords were tense.

In early April, the armies of Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu fought a series of battles. Liu Zhang was in a hurry to report that the Sword Pavilion Pass was in danger because of Dong Fu, so he hurriedly sent Pang Xi to lead 20,000 troops to the Sword Pavilion to help defend it. The total strength of Chengdu was reduced to about 50,000 at once.

After Hua Fei got this information, he thought the time had come. It was an urgent order to guard the elite, and ordered all departments to secretly enter the first level of combat readiness, and be ready to seize the river at any time.

It was Chen Deng who received Hua Fei's secret order, asking him to be patient and not move until the last moment to give Liu Zhang the final blow.

At the same time, Hua Fei personally led Xu Chu, Xu Sheng and He Man to lead thousands of Chinese troops into Jiangzhou City, quietly waiting for the best time to come. (To be continued.) )
