Chapter 335: Hanzhong Affairs 2
In any case, Shangyong City was lost in his own hands, and even the Jingzhou army did not attack the city on a large scale......
This alone is enough for Liu Yan to suspect.
After saying what he wanted to say to Zhang Wei, Wang Wei left the study, leaving Zhang Wei alone in the room, and he didn't even send a guard, but Wang Wei believed that after talking to Zhang Wei so much, even if he sent the sword to him now, he would not commit suicide again, because Zhang Wei's suicide was completely worthless now.
In fact, since Wang Wei made it clear, Zhang Wei's idea of suicide has long disappeared, but he has another expectation, that is, Wang Wei is alone in the depths, and although it is not a hinterland, it is still separated from Jingzhou by a tomb, this Jingzhou army is not many, it should just be a rumor that will be withdrawn, and as long as the Jingzhou army withdraws, then at least he has room for redemption.
However, the ruthless facts hit Zhang Wei again, and after leaving the study, Zhang Wei found that this Wang Wei was actually hoarding equipment to defend the city, and it seemed that he was ready to defend the city.
Shangyong and Fangling counties are located in the mountains, the population is not large, most of the soldiers stationed in the city are only some old and weak county soldiers, not only the combat power is low, but also because these two counties are not valued by Liu Yan, the number of those county soldiers is not much, can only maintain law and order, so they will be attacked by Wang Wei.
The shouting in the city did not last as long as one might think, and soon subsided, not even for half an hour.
And since there didn't seem to be much chaos outside, some bold people began to slowly walk out of the house and into the street where there were still some blood stains, and gradually there were more and more people on the street.
Just as people were speculating about where the army was rebelling, a few sharp-eyed people saw that the flag on the head of the city had changed color.
Some businessmen who traveled south and north immediately recognized the meaning of that flag, it was the banner of Liu Biaojun, could it be that the Jingzhou army had already fought over?
But how is this possible?
Isn't Liu Biao attacking from the west? In the east, there are only some naval forces left in Jingzhou headquarters, how can they adapt to mountain warfare? Isn't the county magistrate Zhang Wei talking about this every day?
The doubts of the residents in the city did not last long, and soon, An Min's list was posted everywhere in the city, and the content of the list not only explained the identity of the army that had just occupied Shangyong, but also vaguely wrote that Zhang Wei would continue to serve as his county commander and assist the Jingzhou army in settling the people.
The Jingzhou army captured Shangyong with only a thousand soldiers.
The news spread rapidly like wings, and the nearby Fangling County first got the news, and then it was quickly spread to Zhang Lu's ears in Nanzheng.
After getting the report, Zhang Lu felt like he had been hit on the head, and he fell directly there, and it took a long time to react.
No matter how the Jingzhou army infiltrated Shangyong, these don't matter, as for the rumored Zhang Wei to defect to the enemy, secretly introduced, in Zhang Lu's eyes, it is a complete joke, what kind of person his brother is, Zhang Lu knows better than anyone that Zhang Wei cannot surrender to the enemy.
So the most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the Jingzhou army, which is not very numerous.
Leave it alone?
This is absolutely not feasible, according to the situation, the number of that Jingzhou army is not large, at most no more than 2,000 people, but let more than 1,000 people wreak havoc in their own rear, the harm caused is absolutely unbearable.
Moreover, there is also a Liu Fan who is eyeing him, if he doesn't do anything, the rumors will soon be taken seriously.
Then send your troops...... Didn't Liu Fan go to the rear?
"That's right...... Liu Fan was about to go to Shangyong to check the garrison ......"
Zhang Lu's heart chuckled, and the beating speed suddenly increased countless times.
In case Liu Fan makes a mistake, he doesn't have to work hard for Hanzhong anymore, so he just runs away......
The news of Shangyong continued to spread around, and at the same time, the situation of Shangyong also underwent some changes.
Liu Fan, the crown prince of Liu Yan's puppet dynasty, in order to win the hearts of the people, contact more with subordinate officials, and of course, in order to accumulate prestige, will still insist on staying in Hanzhong, a troubled place, after Liu Yan left.
Now Liu Biao united with Li Dao, Guo Yan and other Western Liang tribes, and began to march towards Hanzhong in a big way, and the entire northwest direction of Hanzhong was in war readiness.
It may also be that Zhang Lu felt that Liu Fan was an eyesore, so he simply gave Liu Fan an opinion, and asked him to inspect the rear to stabilize the people's hearts.
Liu Fan, who was on the way to the news of Shangyong's occupation, knew it for the first time, and at the same time as sending people to transmit the news to Nanzheng and Chengdu, Liu Fan himself also acted quickly, mobilizing all the sergeants who could be mobilized in the nearby county towns and even the small towns of Shangyong.
Originally, this should have been a very correct decision, to concentrate all the forces that could be concentrated, to maintain pressure on Shangyong, and to force Wang Wei to make no other further moves.
As long as it drags on for a while, after the arrival of reinforcements from other places, Wang Wei's situation will be extremely passive.
But Liu Fan is a fledgling after all, this can be regarded as his first independent leader, and an opportunity to prove his prestige as a crown prince is in front of him, how can he not be tempted?
The enemy was only a thousand people......
In just three days, Liu Fan gathered all the county soldiers who could be summoned, and coupled with the urgent expansion of recruitment, he gathered a team of more than 5,000 people.
Although many of these more than 5,000 people were old and weak soldiers, and some were ruffians and hooligans, but in any case, this was a full 5,000 people, far more than the men and horses led by Wang Wei.
With so many soldiers and horses in his hands, although he is in his thirties, Liu Fan, who has never led the army alone, can't help but be full of pride, and vows to do something impressive, especially when his father is seriously ill, but also to show his majesty and lay the foundation for sitting in that position in the future.
After simply integrating the equipment of those people, Liu Fan led them towards Shangyong City.
At the same time, the situation of Shangyong changed again, people woke up, and suddenly found that the Jingzhou army in the city suddenly disappeared, the city gate was wide open, let people enter and exit at will, and even the Jingzhou banner that had been flying high in the city was also put away.
The whole situation is as if the Jingzhou army has never come.
Since the Jingzhou army occupied Shangyong, a curfew began, and from the time of the day, all people were not allowed to walk on the street, until the next day, after the end of the day, the ban was lifted, no matter what the reason, as long as they appeared on the street, they were all treated as spies.
