Shen Yi said cross-heartedly: "Big brother, I think Liu Zhang is just a threat, the whole county surrenders, this is a great thing, if he changes to other princes, he will be happy and forgetful, can he Liu Zhang not be moved?" If we are forced to fight to the death, what good will it do him to end up with a broken mediocrity? ”

Shen Tanshen frowned, for a long time, and clenched his fists, "We must not let the glory of the family disappear, our army has been wiped out in the Han River, brother, you immediately copy 100 copies of Liu Zhang's letter of persuasion to slaughter the city, paste it everywhere in Shangyong, organize all the people, distribute weapons, and prepare to resist the attack of the Sichuan army to the death." ”

"Yes." Shen Yi was ordered to leave.

Shen Tan grabbed the edge of the table with his palms, he knew in his heart that even if the national war of resistance was launched, the certainty of the soldiers and the outnumbered Shangyong was less than 20%, and now Shen Tan was counting on the fact that Shangyong put on a posture of fighting to the death, coupled with the heavy snow blocking the mountain road and the danger, it would make Liu Zhang retreat in the face of difficulties, and it would be much easier to surrender again, and no one would want to put an intact city, but a ruined city with ten rooms and nine emptis.

"It's a pity, Liu Biao has no intention of enterprising, and Cao Cao confronts Guandu, otherwise how can Liu Zhang be so rampant."

Just then, a soldier came in and presented a letter: "Lord, Hanzhong intelligence." ”

Shen Tan took it, read it word by word, his face changed greatly, and he muttered: "I was wrong, Liu Zhang will definitely come to attack Shangyong, if Shangyong is broken, don't say that the family is glorious, and the entire Shen family does not exist." ”

That is the information that more than 4,000 children of the Yang family were slaughtered, and once these 4,000 people die, Hanzhong's economy does not know how much loss it will have, Liu Zhang can even give up this, let alone a small mediocrity? Four thousand, the so-called huge Shen family, is less than half of this number.

"If you suffer, you must not let your younger brother post a notice, otherwise you will anger Liu Zhang, and there will be endless troubles." Shen Tan was startled and chased him out in person.

Three days later, Liu Zhang received a letter from Shen Tan, Shen Tan accepted all the conditions proposed by Liu Zhang, surrendered the county, Yang Ren took 10,000 Hanzhong soldiers and horses into Shangyong, and supervised the implementation of the land order and the relocation of the Shen family, the Shen family sold nearly a quarter of the land, and the tenant farmers of these fields began to enjoy the low rent of the government, and Shangyong finally got rid of the rule of the Shen family.

The army returned to Chengdu, it was too cold, Liu Zhang sat in the car, Fa Zheng was riding together, originally called Xiao Furong also came in, the little girl didn't agree, but she was dressed in red, and it was also a scenery in the snowflakes.

The army crossed the Qinling Mountains, the weather only improved slightly, and seeing the blue sky and white clouds that had not been seen for a long time, Liu Zhang also seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Fa Zheng: "This time it has been snowing in Hanzhong for so long, there may be a snow disaster, after returning to Chengdu, let Wang Fu transport some grain to Hanzhong." ”

Fa Zheng said: "The lord is worried, it is winter, the harvest season has passed, the heavy snow should not have much impact, and Hanzhong has sufficient reserves, and the assets of the Yang family have been copied, there will definitely be no worries about the shortage of materials, but the lord should think about what to do next." ”

Liu Zhang muttered: "The next step is naturally Jingzhou, Jingzhou is the belly of the world, the people are rich and rich, only by taking Jingzhou, can we compete with the male lord who unified the north, but just after taking Hanzhong, the soldiers are a little tired, and they should rest for a while." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Rest is naturally needed, but the matter of Jingzhou should also be considered as soon as possible, the lord should know that the lord from Jiangzhou to Hanzhong, all the way to kill, now the Yizhou Hao clan is basically under the lord's majesty, if the lord is smooth sailing, they will not rebel, and once the lord is defeated, these people will be undoubted."

Jingzhou is the belly of the world, the people are rich and rich is good, but it is also a difficult place to take, not to mention that Liu Biao has more than 400,000 land and water troops, three points stronger than Cao Cao, but our total strength is less than 100,000, and it will not exceed 200,000 after the expansion of the army. ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "The official of the expedition to Hanzhong already knows the consequences of offending the clan, if it weren't for Zhou Budo, and almost capsized in the gutter, Jingzhou may be easy for others to take, but it is a difficult bone for the official, and if we fall into the sand in Jingzhou, we will become the bones of the Yizhou Hao family, in this case, what does Xiaozhi think?" ”

Fa Zheng smiled slightly: "Follow the story of Gaozu back then." ”

"Gaozu story?" Liu Zhang looked at Fa Zheng's expression, suddenly realized, and laughed: "Okay, this official will also learn from the famous general Han Xin." ”

Liu Zhang immediately called Wei Yan: "General Wei, you don't have to go back to Chengdu, immediately take 20,000 soldiers and horses to Yubei Pass, train the whole army, and dredge the mountain road to Jingzhou along the line of Yubei and Zigui." ”

Wei Yan listened to the order and knew that Liu Zhang's intention was in Jingzhou, so he said happily: "The last general will go immediately." ”

After Wei Yan led the army away, Liu Zhang sat in the car calmly and said comfortably: "The rest is some easy things, mainly to collect the refugees from the Central Plains to reclaim wasteland, support business, and the establishment of the craftsman battalion, it is time to do something useful, even crossbows and siege vehicles can be handed over to them, these are all up to Wang Fu Huang Quan to worry about, in addition." ”

Liu Zhang glanced at Xiao Furong, who was walking on a horse outside, "This official has decided to do what needs to be done before conquering Jingzhou." ”

Fa Zheng looked at Liu Zhang's demeanor, he didn't know what Liu Zhang meant, and pretended to say to him, "My lord, my subordinates can't interfere in internal affairs, and I met a friend in Brazil, and I want to take advantage of my free time to visit him, and ask the lord to promise." ”

"Friends?" Liu Zhang was slightly stunned, looked Fa Zheng up and down, and didn't believe what he said at all, "If you don't want to take care of internal affairs, just say it, find some nonsense excuses, and go if you want to." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Qujia Tea Mountain, the mountain wind blows, the clouds and the wind is light.

After Qu Xi returned to his hometown Nanjiang, Huang Yue was left alone, and he built a thatched hut next to the tomb of the Qu family, incense for the Qu family every day, and the rest was to watch the sunrise and sunset, thinking about some boundless things.

When he saw Fa Zheng climbing the tea mountain alone, Huang Yue was a little surprised, and he didn't know what Fa Zheng was doing when he came to him alone.

Fa Zheng looked at the seven incense candles in front of each tombstone, and said with emotion: "Miss Huang is really a person who values love and righteousness, if you change someone else, such a cold day, such a deserted place, you will definitely steal and take leisure, or less incense and candles, Miss Huang can actually persevere, now in troubled times, everyone tends to profit and lack morality, Miss Huang is really a model in the world." ”

Huang Yue smiled and said: "The little girl is not so great, she just doesn't want to feel ashamed of her heart, Mr. Fa, what are you doing here alone to find me?" ”

Fa Zheng took some paper, burned it in front of a tomb, stood up and said to Huang Yue: "I'm here to ask Miss Huang for something, but before I say it, I want to ask Miss Huang a question." ”

"Mr. Fa, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Fa Zheng pondered for a while, looked at Huang Yue, and said slowly: "Is Miss Huang interested in Lord Zhoumu?" ”
