Chapter 190: Breaking the Game Starts with Pang Xi
"Lord, now that there is chaos in Shuzhong, as long as Liu Zhang does not pacify Yizhou for a day, we still have a chance!" Yan Pu smiled, and Zhang Lu's heart immediately calmed down.
"That's it!" Yang Ang didn't want to go to others, and seeing that Yan Pu's opinion was the same as his, he hurriedly echoed it.
Yang Ren is Yang Ang's eldest brother, he slapped Yang Ang's head and said, "What do you know? Listen quietly to Mr. Yan! ”
Yang Ang looked aggrieved, Yan Pu shook his head and smiled: "Lord, now that Yizhou is in chaos, not to mention that Zhu Ti has General Zhang Wei, let's just say that Bajun still has Pang Xi's 80,000 army." Liu Jiyu put 40,000 elites in Hanzhong, presumably to guard against the lord. But in this way, he only has 60,000 horses in his hands, but he has to deal with 130,000 troops, how long do you think it will take for Liu Zhang to pacify Yizhou? ”
"This..."Zhang Lu shook his head and said: "If it were me, I would have to snicker if I could guarantee that I would be undefeated, and I still want to be calm?" Dream on! However, Liu Zhang is more capable than me, maybe he can really pacify Yizhou. Speaking from the heart, I really don't want to be an enemy unless I have to! ”
Yan Pu said with a smile: "People are self-aware, and the lord is actually not bad!" It's a pity that the Lord's will is not in the world! To put it bluntly, it must be a pleasant thing to be able to serve under Liu Zhang. It's a pity..."
"Mr. Yan!" Seeing that Yan Pu had been praising Liu Zhang, Yang Ren and Yang Ang were a little unhappy! However, Yan Pu has always been Zhang Lu's think tank, and Yang Ren and Yang Ang don't dare to go too far.
"You guys!" Yan Pu sighed: "Actually, your brother's skills are not bad, but it's a pity that he is too arrogant and a little narrow-minded!" ”
"Mr. Yan, let's talk about Liu Zhang!" Yang Ren knew that what Yan Pu said was the truth, but he didn't want to continue to discuss this issue. As the saying goes: the country is easy to change, but the surname is difficult to change. Even if Yang Ren and Yang Ang want to change, it's too late!
"Good!" Yan Pu said with a smile: "Liu Zhang only has 60,000 troops, and he has to divide his troops to deal with Pang Xi and Zhang Wei, if the lord leaves Hanzhong now, Liu Zhang can transfer the 40,000 elites of Hanzhong back, and his chances of winning will be much greater!" Therefore, we are holding Liu Zhang's 40,000 elites here, and it is not so easy to distinguish between him, Pang Xi and Zhang Wei! If you keep it for a long time, you will lose, we have to wait for Liu Zhang to make a mistake! ”
"But Zhang Fei is so powerful, we are not his opponent!" It was the first time Zhang Lu had met a fierce general like Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei's sky-high momentum made Zhang Lu not only heartbroken, but also a little scared.
"Zhang Fei is powerful, but why should we fight him?" Yan Pu smiled: "When we meet Zhang Fei, we will retreat." Our purpose is to drag Zhang Fei in Hanzhong and create opportunities for the two generals, Pang Xi and Zhang Wei. Even if we can't win, we can hold Liu Zhang back! Yizhou is the country of abundance, and the other princes will let it go when they see the civil strife in Yizhou? Perhaps, when Liu Zhang has no time to take care of the merger of states, the history of the merger appointed by Liu Zhang will be self-reliant! ”
"Good!" Zhang Lu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Just according to what Mr. Yan said, gather the ghost pawns in Hanzhong and drag Zhang Fei and Yan Yan to support the two generals Pang Xi and Zhang Wei!" ”
Zhang Lu made up his mind, and the ghost pawns of the Five Dou Mi Sect gathered again. I have to say that the Five Bucket Rice Sect is too popular in Hanzhong. Even after such a big defeat, Zhang Lu still gathered an army of 10,000 people, and most of those who did not come had died in Hanzhong City. However, Pang Xi and Zhang Wei, whom Zhang Lu wanted to support, are now distressed!
Ba County, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong led an army of 40,000 to shout under the city, but Pang Xi cowered in the city and did not dare to move. Originally, Pang Xi relied on a large number of soldiers and tried to compete with Huang Zhong. After Guan Yu joined, Huang Zhong led an army of 40,000 to fight Pang Xi under the city of Bajun. At the time of the decisive battle, Guan Yu broke into the enemy formation with a single knife and almost beheaded Pang Xi. Pang Xi was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he no longer dared to bring up the matter of war.
Juti County, the county warden's house. Zhao Wei, Jia Long, and Zhang Wei received information from Hanzhong and Bajun, and sat in the hall very helplessly, and the atmosphere was a little dull.
"Mr. Zhao, General Jia! It's been half a month, and we're still here, when can we support Big Brother? Zhang Wei had an army of 50,000, but Zhao Yun led 20,000 people to block not far from Zhu Ti, which made Zhang Wei embarrassed.
Zhao Wei sighed: "I really didn't expect Zhao Yun to be so powerful. It is reported that Hanzhong and Bajun also seem to have been suppressed, but Liu Zhang only used 100,000 people! With Liu Zhang's reputation in Chengdu, he wants to gather another 100,000 people, there should be no problem! ”
"I don't want to know how many people Liu Zhang can gather, I just want to know what to do to go to Hanzhong to support my eldest brother!" Since the news of Zhang Lu's defeat came from Hanzhong, Zhang Wei seemed to be a little impatient.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long run!" Zhao Wei was helpless, so he had to speak out to appease Zhang Wei, but the irascible Zhang Wei was not so easy to appease.
"Phew!" Jia Long slammed his fist on the desk and said, "What's the hurry? The most taboo is impetuousness when using soldiers! If Zhao Yun takes the opportunity to break it, what face do you have to meet your eldest brother? You know, now is the time of life and death, victory, everyone benefits: defeat, we all have to die! Zhao Wei and I are already alone, but you still have a family! ”
"Uh..." After being scolded by Jia Long, Zhang Wei finally calmed down, and he couldn't help asking: "It's not a way to just wait, as Mr. Zhao said, if Liu Zhang is entangled in the army to attack, what should I do?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Jia Long smiled: "Conscription is not so easy! Military rations, equipment, which ones do not need to be prepared? Could it be that Liu Zhang sent a wooden stick and let the soldiers come to fight? What we have to do now is to wait for Liu Zhang to show his flaws! ”
"General Jia's words are reasonable!" Zhao Wei saw that Zhang Wei had calmed down, and immediately echoed Jia Long.
"Alas! Then wait! Zhang Wei had no choice but to rest first. If it weren't for Zhang Lu's departure, he asked him to listen to Zhao Wei and Jia Long's opinions, it is estimated that he would have been defeated by Zhao Yun.
Chengdu, in the Thorn History Mansion. When the battles in Hanzhong, Zhuti, and Bajun were in full swing, Liu Zhang also paid attention to the records of the three parties.
"Fengxiao, how is the battle?" Liu Zhang was holding a wine lord, and Zhang Ning was serving wine by his side. The rebellion of more than 200,000 people in Yizhou was just a trial in Liu Zhang's view.
You must know that Zhao Yun and others have followed Liu Zhang for a long time, and it is the first time that they have been alone. In fact, Liu Zhang wants to cultivate Zhao Yun the most, not only because Zhao Yun is his junior brother, but also because Zhao Yun has the most handsome temperament. Whether it is open-mindedness or surname, Zhao Yun is more perfect than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As for Huang Zhong, he is almost forty years old this year. To cultivate him, it is better to cultivate Huang Xu. It's a pity that Huang Xu was sick when he was a child, and his martial arts could no longer reach Huang Zhong's height.
"There's Mrs. Law!" Guo Jia also relaxed with a glass of wine and sat opposite Liu Zhang. Zhang Ning saw that Guo Jia's cup was full of wine, and immediately filled it up. Although Zhang Ning was only a concubine, Guo Jia knew that Liu Zhang loved the girls around him, so he was very polite.
"Let's get down to business!" Seeing that Guo Jia was lazy, Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Guo Jia smiled and asked, "Is it true that you said it when you were drinking?" ”
"Uh..."Liu Zhang smiled: "Okay, Guo Fengxiao, since you don't want to drink, then I'll take the wine down!" ”
"Don't! It's just a joke! Guo Jia hurriedly grabbed the wine jug and said with a shy smile: "Lord, now Bajun, Zhu Ti, and Hanzhong have reached a stalemate, Zhang Wei and Pang Xi can't retreat, and Zhang Lu seems to be hiding in the mountains. The most annoying thing is the Five Bucket Rice Sect, I don't know what to do! ”
"Don't care about Zhang Lu first! Anyway, even if you catch him, you can't kill him now! Liu Zhang's eyes flashed with coldness, if it weren't for Liu Yan's lingering feelings for Zhang Lu's mother, he wouldn't have had a headache.
"Then we have to start with Pang Xi!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "I heard that the Gan family is a big family in Ba County, why don't you let Gan Ning write a letter by hand, and ask his father to open the door for Hansheng and Yunchang?" ”
"I'm worried that Pang Xi will be bad for the Gan family!" It's just a Pang Xi, if Liu Zhang wants to exchange Gan Ning for it, he won't do it.
"Don't worry, lord!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "The people of the Gan clan have already moved away from Ba County. Now, except for Gan Ning's father who is still in Ba County, the others are some side branches and house slaves. I know the importance of Gan Ning, how can I risk him! ”
"So much the best!" Liu Zhang smiled and asked, "Is there any news from Chang'an?" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he picked up a few pieces of information and handed them to Liu Zhang: "Lord, please take a look!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Zhang pointed to the intelligence and asked, "When did this happen?" ”
Following Liu Zhang's fingers, it turned out to be Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu making trouble in Fengyi Pavilion.
Guo Jia smiled: "About a month ago! After hearing that Lu Bu had a dislike for Dong Zhuo, his relationship with Wang Yun became better and better. Because of this, Dong Zhuo didn't treat him even more! ”
"Alas! Dong Zhongying is going to die! Liu Zhang sighed and said, "How did I deal with the matter of Shi A contacting Wang Yue?" ”
"Wang Yue has already agreed to the lord's request, and try his best to ensure the safety of the four Empress Dowager He!"
Guo Jia asked with some puzzlement: "Lord, now that Dong Zhuo is in the limelight, how do you say that he is going to die?" ”
Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo has a son, but he is not an adult. At the beginning, my words in the Tiger Prison probably made Lu Bu have some superfluous thoughts. Although Dong Zhuo accepted Lu Bu as his adopted son, he only regarded Lu Bu as a general under his command. With Lu Bu's surname, once his hopes are disappointed, he will have extreme thoughts. Wang Yunai is a leading figure of the royalist party, and after Lu Bu fell out with Dong Zhuo, he was close to Lu Bu and must have a plan. ”
"This..."Guo Jia asked with an incredulous expression: "Lord, then Lu Bu was so easily persuaded by Wang Yun?" ”
Ding Yuan treated Lu Bu like a parent, and Lu Bu still killed him. Three family slaves, what can't be done? Liu Zhang said this with a look of disdain.
In his previous life, Liu Zhang despised Lu Bu very much. In this life, after knowing Lu Bu, I think he is not bad. Later, after listening to Zhang Liao explain the reason why Ding Yuan asked Lu Bu to be the master bookkeeper, I thought that Lu Bu would no longer be a slave with the third surname, but who expected that Lu Bu still killed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo. Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo. If Liu Zhang can afford to look down on Lu Bu, it will be a strange thing!
