Chapter 793: The Great War is Imminent
At this moment, in the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lu was discussing the current financial situation of the county with Zhang Wei and Yan Pu.
"My lord, this time we have raised 20,000 strong men to make up for the losses in the last battle. Returned to the state of the 50,000 Chinese New Year's Eve Army. However, because of this, the number of strong men in Hanzhong County will also decrease accordingly, and I am afraid that there will be some impact on grain production next year. Below, Yan Pu frowned.
Indeed, just like the intelligence of Yizhou, there are indeed 50,000 Chinese New Year's Eve troops in Hanzhong today. But correspondingly, the prosperity of Hanzhong has also been reduced.
Next year's financial situation will not be too optimistic.
"Sir is really worried, we have been peaceful in Hanzhong for more than ten years, and the grain has accumulated like a mountain. Don't be afraid of that. Zhang Wei said casually.
Yan Pu frowned, this second general is really too much for Chinese New Year's Eve.
Lu Leng snorted and glanced at Zhang Wei coldly.
Zhang Wei smiled brightly and said no more.
Seeing that Zhang Wei'an was divided, Zhang Lu also began to think about how to solve the financial situation. Just then, a guard walked in from outside.
"Lord, outside the city gate, there is a person who claims to be Zheng Du who asks to see him."
Because Hanzhong and Yizhou were basically at war all year round, it seemed a little unlikely that the envoy would be a little unlikely, so this guard used someone who claimed to be Zheng Du, not Zheng Du.
Lu is a little strange.
"Killed." Zhang Wei's eyes widened angrily, and he roared on Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the past, Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei's mother, and there was a hatred for killing her mother, which could be as deep as the sea.
"There is a change in Yizhou." Yan Pu is a color changer.
The three of them don't look alike, and they each have their own ideas. Only Yan Pu was the most keen, and he immediately sensed that there was a change in Yizhou, otherwise there was no possibility of communication between the two rivers.
Zhang Lu naturally has spies in Yizhou, and he knows the specific situation of Kou Feng's current troops.
Therefore, Yan Pu's second thought was that Kou Feng defeated Yan Yan in Bajun and drove the army to Chengdu. As soon as he thought of this, Yan Pu's face changed even more.
"Sir, the Chu army has already invaded the hinterland of Shuzhong?" Zhang Lu immediately understood, and couldn't help but lose his color.
"Quite possibly. Zheng Du must have come to ask for help this time, otherwise how would he pay attention to our Hanzhong? Yan Pu's expression was extremely solemn.
"Haha, asking for help? I didn't expect Liu Zhang to have today, if it is really as Mr. said, at this moment, the northern part of Shu must be floating in the military spirit, why don't we wait for the opportunity to attack Xiameng Pass, kill Yang Huan, Gao Pei and others, enter the north of central Shu, and compete with Kou Feng? Zhang Wei laughed, very hearty.
"Confused." Zhang Lu scolded on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then asked Yan Pu again: "What is the plan of the sir?" ”
"Dare to ask the lord, I want to continue to possess Hanzhong and enjoy prosperity and prosperity. Or do you want to submit to the Son of Heaven? Yan Pu pondered for a moment and said.
"Now that Kou is sealed in the south, the power is strong for Chinese New Year's Eve, even if you want to get rich and prosperous, I'm afraid it's unlikely that this will start from?" Zhang Lu wondered.
"The Son of Heaven is in the south." Yan Pu pointed to the guide and said.
"Sir, Kou Feng?" Zhang Lu frowned.
"Yes, this person first seized the three southeastern states, and now there is Shu. The four sides are united, and the power is almost the same as Cao Cao. Moreover, because it is located in the south, the advantage is more Chinese New Year's Eve. Even if he can't dominate the world, he will definitely be the son of heaven one day. If you go to them, you can also keep your wealth. Yan Pu nodded.
Yan Pu, the wise man.
Historically, it was all up to Yan Pu that after Zhang Lu was able to surrender, the eyes of the Marquis of Wanhu were naturally extraordinary, and he had already realized that the day Kou Feng had arrived.
But Zhang Lu is still unwilling.
"Kou Feng, raise troops in the recklessness, if you submit to it, I'm afraid you can't tolerate loneliness." Zhang Lu shook his head and said.
"In this way, when the generals pointed to Chengdu and rescued Liu Zhang. There's no need to talk about it. Yan Pu sighed slightly and said. He was more inclined to go south, attack Xiameng Pass, and then fight Kou Feng in Chengdu.
Obey the trend.
But unfortunately, he turned out to be a minister.
Lu nodded his head and said.
"Go and transfer troops, gather all the horses, and prepare to send troops to Chengdu." Immediately, Zhang Lu turned his head to Zhang Weidao.
Zhang Wei opened his mouth, his face extremely reluctant. But Zhang Lu's eyes were very sharp, and he couldn't help nodding his head depressedly, and said, "Hmm." ”
After finishing, Zhang Wei left immediately.
After Zhang Wei left, Zhang Lu immediately ordered someone to welcome Zheng Du over.
"Meet the Chinese New Year's Eve people." Not long after, Zheng Du walked in and said to Zhang Lu very politely.
"Enemies of yesteryear, chún teeth today. It's really unpredictable. Zhang Lu sighed when he heard this.
Zhang Lu's sigh surprised Zheng Du. By just coming from him, you can guess that he is here to seek an alliance. Seriously, Zheng Du looked at Yan Pu next to him, his eyes were full of admiration.
Zhang Luneng sat in Hanzhong, relying on this seemingly inconsequential person.
Yan Pu saw Zheng Du looking at him, and couldn't help but smile and nodded at Zheng Du.
Zheng Du also bowed his head in return, and after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said to Zhang Lu: "Since the Chinese New Year's Eve people have understood my intentions, then I will not lie to me." With that, Zheng Du took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve. A few steps forward and handed it to Zhang Lu, saying, "This is the production technique of Wei Dao, and I still have a group of craftsmen outside the city." It's all highly skilled. Please send troops to help. In the future, they will still sit in Erchuan, the tool of each other, and be allies of each other. ”
Although it is chún teeth dependent on each other, the final result is that Liu Zhang has a request for Zhang Lu. In this regard, Zheng Du also felt obediently that he did not have the technique of hiding Wei Dao.
Wei Dao, Zhang Lu suffered all the hardships of this knife in the past, and later seized some. The craftsman was ordered to develop it, but there has been no progress, and it takes no effort to come today.
"Hao Lu Ben thought that this army was a loss-making deal, but he did not expect to be able to obtain the casting technology of Wei Dao, and seriously he was overjoyed on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he said again and again.
Yan Pu shook his head while watching, I'm afraid this is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water. With the strong Chinese New Year's Eve of the Chu State, even if they are reinforced, the odds of victory are relatively good.
The two sides hit it off. Earnestness is like chún teeth.
On that day, Zhang Lu stayed with Zheng Du for one day, and the Chinese New Year's Eve Army untied the cable the next day. Because Zheng Du promised that the grain consumed by Zhang Lu's Chinese New Year's Eve army movement could be withdrawn from Shuzhong City.
There is no need to prepare food, so it can be so quickly.
Three days later, the Chinese New Year's Eve Army rounded Yang Huai's 10,000 Chinese New Year's Eve Army at Xiameng Pass, and six days later, the Chinese New Year's Eve Army rounded with Gao Pei's 20,000 Chinese New Year's Eve Army in Guangyuan. It snowballed to 80,000.
More than ten days later, he came to Brazil.
Brazil, Brazil, Brazil, and Brazil are collectively known as Sanba, which can be regarded as Brazil and China. Bashu, that's how Bashu got it. Bazhong is just separated between Hanzhong and Shudi.
And Bazhong is also extremely wealthy.
Historically, the rulers of Shu have intended to bring Hanzhong under their command, also because if Hanzhong is not in their hands, Bazhong will be sluggish.
For Shudi, that is a very terrible thing.
Brazil is Yan Pu's hometown, and it is also Huang Quan's hometown.
Huang Quan was ordered to recruit 20,000 soldiers in Bazhong, because Huang Quan's clan was very powerful in the local area, so he recruited very quickly. In just over 20 days, there were 20,000 people.
Because when he came out, Huang Quan still had more than a thousand elite soldiers beside him, so it was not very difficult to command these 20,000 recruits.
It's just that the recruits have only been trained for less than three days.
It is estimated that there is no combat effectiveness.
On this day, Huang Quan wore a light armor and stood on the general platform in the school field, with 20,000 recruits practicing below.
"Hey-ha, hey-ha."
The majestic sound of exercise is constantly in the ears. But Huang Quan still frowned, this soldier is really difficult to go to the battlefield, and can only be used to defend the city.
Immediately, Huang Quan thought that if he could camp Zhang Lu's army outside the city, he, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others led troops into Chengdu. It can be used as horns.
These 20,000 recruits will be able to continue training in the city for a while.
Thinking about it like this, Huang Quan's heart was much more relaxed.
"Chinese New Year's Eve people, there is a person who came to report that it is Zhang Lu, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei who led the 80,000 Chinese New Year's Eve army, which has reached the vicinity of Brazil." At this time, a pro-soldier walked up and said to Huang Quan.
"Oh? It's finally here. Huang Quan's expression perked up and said.
Immediately, he said to the deputy general next to him: "I'll go to greet you, and I'll hand it over here." ”
The general agreed, hinting that he understood. Immediately, Huang Quan quickly stepped off the platform, stepped on the war horse, and went to the north to meet Zhang Lu.
After walking about ten miles on Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Quan saw the 80,000 Chinese New Year's Eve army.
The flags are unfurled, and the march is not in a hurry. Although the momentum is mediocre, it is always the 80,000 Chinese New Year's Eve Army. Coupled with the 20,000 Chinese New Year's Eve troops he had just recruited, it was 100,000.
After leaving Chengdu, it was 130,000.
Just like Liu Zhang, what Huang Quan can soothe himself now is the number of 130,000 Chinese New Year's Eve Army.
"But Gong Heng is ahead?" In front of the Chinese New Year's Eve army were Zhang Lu, Yan Pu, Zhang Wei, and Zheng Du, and in the rear were Yang Huai and Gao Pei. Zheng Du saw that someone was standing on a horse in front of him, so he expected that it was Huang Quan, and he couldn't help but say on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Immediately, he rode his horse again.
"Exactly." Huang Quan also rode forward, and the two met on the way.
"How about Gongheng recruitment?" Zheng Du asked Huang Quandao.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Huang Quan said with a smile.
"In this way, there is still the strength to fight." Zheng Du said with a happy smile on his face.
At this time, Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Yan Pu and others also rode horses. Zheng Du immediately introduced several people to each other. Yan Pu and Huang Quan are still fellow villagers, but the two are not familiar with each other.
Later, each has its own master, which is even more rare. However, the reputation of both sides is very Chinese New Year's Eve, especially Yan Pu, who is the right hand of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
When the two met, they couldn't help but chat a few more words.
"Now is not the time for small talk." Zhang Lu said, and then asked Huang Quandao: "What is the situation in Chengdu now?" ”
"Not good. Kou Feng built a mound outside the city, and now the defense power of Chengguo Capital Pond has been consumed for Chinese New Year's Eve. Huang Quan said with a helpless look on his face when he heard this.
"Liu Zhang let Kou Feng build a mound outside the city?" Zhang Wei next to him shouted in disbelief on Chinese New Year's Eve.
"There are no generals in the city, how can they compete with the Chu army?" Huang Quan asked rhetorically, a little unhappy. Don't be Liu Zhang, even if Zhang Lu fights with the Chu army outside the city, I'm afraid the end will be the same.
Zhang Weizheng wanted to argue.
Zhang Lu said: "Untie the cable immediately, it's bad luck for us if it's late." ”
"What Zhang Taishou said is very true." Huang Quan said happily.
Immediately, several people came to the Huangquan Chinese New Year's Eve camp together, and after cleaning up for a while, the 100,000 Chinese New Year's Eve army finally gathered and headed towards the capital of Chengguo.
Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang in the north totaled 100,000 Chinese New Year's Eve troops, plus 30,000 in Chengdu, a full 130,000. Southern Meng won the 70,000 Chinese New Year's Eve army, which was 200,000 Chinese New Year's Eve army.
The forces of all parties in Shu can be gathered, determined to drive Kou Feng away
