Chapter IV

At the end of the first year of the early Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos in Shuzhong, and Chen Lin, who just returned from Dong, immediately ordered to lead his troops into Shu, with a total of 6,000 troops and horses from Chen Dao, Cai Yang, and the trap camp, which was accepted by Du Wei, the Zitong clan, and successfully settled in Zitong, so he started a contest with Liu Yan and other forces in Shu. Captain Jia Long was originally dedicated to being the representative of the Shu sergeant clan, and he considered the interests of the Shu sergeant clan, but as Jia Long's soldiers became stronger and stronger, Jia Long had ambitions in his heart and wanted to occupy Shuzhong. Jia Long saw that Chen Lin won the hearts of the people after entering Shu, and Chen Lin's soldiers and horses in Hanzhong were trained and very elite, Jia Long began to guard against and plot against Chen Lin in his heart. Unexpectedly, all this did not seem to escape from Chen Lin's eyes, and on this day, Chen Lin's army and Jia Long's five thousand soldiers and horses were facing Liu Yan Mianzhu in Fucheng. In Chen Lin's army, he ignored the report, Liu Yan withdrew his troops and automatically withdrew from Mianzhu. Chen Lin was shocked, Mianzhu is the seat of Yizhou, Liu Yan's foundation, and Liu Yan's tens of thousands of troops will retreat no matter how they say it. Chen Lin hurriedly ordered someone to summon Jia Xu and Fayan, Jia Xu: "Lord, Lord Qin Ziyi had the heart to take refuge in the lord, but it was only five days, and today there was news that Liu Yan withdrew his troops and withdrew from Mianzhu, but I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

Chen Lin then thought in his heart, whether there was any fraud, but he was afraid that Wuying and Shadow would soon be able to transmit the news back, so Chen Lin immediately ordered the scouts to go to Mianzhu to find out the news. Soon, both the scout and the shadowless returned, which startled everyone. Chen Lin couldn't help but sigh and said, "I didn't expect the teacher to be so capable. ”

Jia Xu was also surprised, and said: "I didn't expect this Zhang Gongqi to come to Shuzhong and get reused by Liu Zhoumu, but this will be Liu Zhoumu is the wrong person." ”

It turned out that the news of Scout and Wuying mentioned at the same time that Chen Lin's master Ren An had mobilized his friend Zhou Shu and Zhou Shubu, who was also a famous man in Shuzhong, in Jiangzhou, and launched an army of about 3,000 people in Jiangzhou. At the same time, somehow Zhang Lu, who escaped in Hanzhong that year, was reused by Liu Yan and appointed as the Taishou of Bajun. Zhang Lu also gathered three or four thousand soldiers and horses in Brazil, stationed troops in Deyang, and violated Liu Yanyin's Fengyang, and Liu Yan concluded that Zhang Lu rebelled. Liu Yan was afraid that Zhang Lu or Zhou Shu's army would march into Guanghan and block Liu Yan's army in Mianzhu, so Liu Yan quickly led his troops back until Chengdu, Shu County, and the new Qianwei Taishou Zhao Yuntun soldiers of 3,000 soldiers in Wuyang should respond to each other and be horns for each other.

After Chen Lin listened, he saw that the scout was kneeling on the ground and had not retreated, his eyes were staring at Chen Lin, and Chen Lin said, "Is there still one?" The scout reported: "Lord Lord, Lord Mianzhu Qinzi and Lord Qin for some reason, not long after he sent troops with Liu Zhoumu, he led 3,000 soldiers and horses to the east suddenly. Chen Lin, Jia Xu and others were shocked, Qin Mi was going to oppose Liu Yan, at this time, I was afraid that Qin Mi had found an opportunity to break away from Liu Yan, but Guanghan went east, it was Zhang Lu's Brazil, that was Zhang Lu's base camp, what was this Qin Mi going to do, to take refuge in Zhang Lu?

Things were beyond everyone's expectations, and Fa Yan was the first to react: "Lord, Liu Zhoumu withdrew his troops from Guanghan and retreated to Shu County, in order not to be caught between our army and Zhou Shubu's army. Jia Xu reacted quickly, and hurriedly seconded the proposal: "Yes, my lord, what Ji Mou said is reasonable, my lord, look at it, the terrain of Guanghan is long along the river, and Fucheng and Mianzhu are the most important, but Xu suggested that the lord should divide his troops to take this place after occupying Mianzhu." ”

Chen Lin and Fa Yan looked at the place that Jia Xu was referring to, which was Luocheng. Jia Xu continued: "Lord, strategy, you see, this Luo County is at the foot of the mountain, it is the only way for Mianzhu to go south, and it is also the last pass of the long and narrow county of Guanghan. Therefore, Luoxian is the throat of the land, the lord occupies Mianzhu can subdue Guanghan County, and there is the throat of Luoxian County in the south of Shuzhong, and the north of Luoxian County can be as stable as Mount Tai. ”

Chen Lin shouted: "Okay," the eleven counties of Guanghan County, the north of Luo County has accounted for as much as half, and there are even more Mianzhu of Guanghan County, as Jia Xu said, hold Luo County, and the north of Luo County will completely become the bag of Hanzhong. But now the trouble is that Jia Long is on the side, so Chen Lin feels that regardless of the affairs of Fucheng, if he captures Mianzhu, he is still afraid of Jia Long's Fucheng? So Chen Lin immediately gave Gao Shun an order and hurried to Mianzhu, Fucheng to Mianzhu is only seventy or eighty miles away, and it will be there in one day.

Chen Lin looked at Jia Long who was rushing in a panic, looked at Jia Long's slightly obese body, and remembered the scene of surrounding and annihilating horse thieves with Jia Long and others a few years ago. I don't want to do things for a few years, things are people, and now Jia Long and Chen Lin no longer have that kind of trust and mutual attraction. Chen Lin laughed at himself in his heart: power.

Jia Long was very surprised, he had just received the news of Liu Yan's retreat, and he heard that Chen Lin's 3,000 army had rushed to Mianzhu, Chen Lin's speed of occupying the territory made Jia Long very annoyed, and at the same time, he was even more jealous of Chen Lin in his heart.

"Chen Bozhi, if you don't discuss with someone, why will you send troops?" From afar, Jia Long shouted, drawing the eyes of the soldiers around him. Chen Lin was helpless in his heart, it seemed that he and Jia Long had reached the point of no return, and the two might still be able to fight each other, but Chen Lin was definitely not afraid of Jia Long, Jia Long's five thousand soldiers and horses Chen Lin had seen, Chen Lin was confident that he didn't need six thousand, only Chen Zhi and Cai Yang's two three thousand soldiers and horses could easily solve Jia Long, otherwise Chen Lin would not dare to let Gao Shun's camp leave Fucheng.

"Captain Jia, the military aircraft is a big event, it is fleeting, how can everything be discussed, Liu Zhoumu withdrew his troops in a panic, this is the time for our army to attack on a large scale." Chen Lin said one by one, Jia Long was angry for a while, and hurriedly went back to discuss with the general. To say that the reason why Jia Long wants to be self-reliant is also because Jia Long has subdued many characters in Shu, the most outstanding of which are the Guanghan Li family, the Li Zhao brothers of the Li Dynasty; There is also Li Fu, a native of Zitong. At this time, the three of them were called by Jia Long, and Li Zhao was resourceful, so Jia Long first said to Li Zhao: "Yongnan, now that the Hanzhong army has gone to occupy Mianzhu, I will be constrained by it when I stay in Fucheng in the future." "Yongnan is Li Zhao's cousin.

Li Zhao thought for a while, looked down at the map on the case, and said, "General, if Chen Bozhi is so-and-so, he will divide his troops and go to Luo County after occupying Mianzhu." Luoxian is the pass in the north and south of Guanghan, according to Luoxian can guard Mianzhu, our army is now in Fucheng, it is also a dangerous pass, but after Hanzhong occupies Mianzhu in the future, our army will cut off the connection with Shuzhong. At this time, Liu Zhoumu oppressed the people of the Shu sergeant clan, and it was a good time for our army to expel the state pastor and make a name for himself in Shu, so the last general decided that the general should wave the army to Guanghan County, so that our army could face the state pastor, although there would be casualties, but it was also like when our army established Weishu in Shu. "Li Zhao's idea is very simple, that is, he can't let Chen Lin block them in Fucheng, he must go out to have the opportunity to carry out with Liu Yan, so as to leave an impact in the hearts of the people of Shuzhong, otherwise what happens outside will have nothing to do with Jia Long.

After Jia Long listened, he lowered his head and thought, Fucheng was finally occupied, and it was easy to give up, Jia Long was a little reluctant. Li Zhao's brother Li Chao, Li Weinan saw Jia Long hesitate and said: "General, the general is the lord of Shuzhong, what a place, the general can't let the Hanzhong army take the lead." ”

When Jia Long heard Hanzhong, he was full of resentment, and immediately said: "Okay, that's it, take away all the grain and grass in the city, don't leave a grain of grain in Hanzhong, and our army will leave Fucheng tomorrow." ”

Chen Lin stood on the city wall, and said to Jia Xu without looking back: "Wenhe, when will Jia Qiande leave?" Jia Xu: "Lord, Wuying didn't go deeper, I only roughly knew that Captain Jia's soldiers and horses were being packed, I was afraid that I would leave tomorrow, Captain Jia was angry, and took away all the grain and grass in the city, and didn't want to leave any of it for our army, it was really a little chicken belly." ”

Chen Lin laughed: "It's good to go, out of Luo County, you can really go out of Shu Dao, and the war in Shu will not be so simple." "Shu is remote, and it just so happens that now the majesty of the imperial court is no longer there, and many people in Shu want to establish themselves as kings and be a remote soil emperor. Zhang Lu, Liu Yan, Jia Long, who knows if there will be any in the future, Chen Lin's 6,000 army, let's defend Mianzhuluo County first, at least let the Hanzhong army have a supply ground in Shuzhong first.

Then Chen Lin turned around and said: "Wenhe, Lingzhi sent officials to take over several counties in Mianzhu, and our army's future war in Shuzhong will collect grain and grass in these counties, so as not to have to travel thousands of miles from Hanzhong with great difficulty." At the same time, a general was selected to be stationed at the Yinping fork to avoid harassment by the soldiers and horses of the Sword Pavilion, who does Wen He think is more suitable? Chen Lin regretted a little that he didn't take the Sword Pavilion first, although he didn't transport grain from Hanzhong now, but even if the soldiers and horses of the Sword Pavilion cut off the connection between Hanzhong and Chen Lin Shuzhong's army, it would be enough for Chen Lin to choke. Now that the Hanzhong army has appeared in the eyes of everyone in Shuzhong, the defenders of the Sword Pavilion must have increased, and now if you want to fight the Sword Pavilion, it is a little difficult, so it is better to guard against it, fortunately, it is not far from Yinping County.

Jia Xu heard that Chen Lin was going to defend the Sword Pavilion, and thought of several generals in Hanzhong, Wu Kuang guarded the three counties of Shangyong, and Yangping also had to defend it, Nan Zheng must be if Chen Ze was in charge, Jia Xu was not stupid, last time Chen Lin stayed in Chen, this time he stayed in Chen Ze, Jia Xu knew that Chen Lin was not very relieved of other generals with foreign surnames. Jia Xu: "My lord, it is impossible for the Sword Pavilion to have the ability to send troops on a large scale, so to defend the Sword Pavilion only needs to make it dare not come out to chase and kill our army, and I think that all the generals in Hanzhong can do it." ”

Chen Lin smiled: "Cunning, no one will be guilty, then let Youping Shou, let Hansheng go to Yangping, Dong Zhongying is in Chang'an, maybe he is also interested in my Hanzhong." ”

On the second day, Jia Long left Fucheng without saying goodbye, and not a single army of 5,000 left Fucheng. Fa Yan said: "Lord, Captain Jia's army will pass through Mianzhu when it goes south, so the lord should quickly wave his army to keep up, lest Jia Qiande take the opportunity to forcibly occupy Mianzhu." "Gao Shun only had 3,000 troops to Mianzhu, and he also got Chen Lin's order, saying that if he found that there were no enemy troops in Luoxian, even Luoxian would occupy them together, then the Mianzhu army would probably only be more than 1,000. Chen Lin thought about it, he was really not at ease about the current Jia Long, so he nodded and immediately took the remaining three thousand Hanzhong soldiers and horses to Mianzhu.
