Chapter 3: Breaking from the Inside

There are more than 700,000 people in Guanghan County, with eleven counties under its jurisdiction, and Zitong happens to be a small county in the mountains, with a sparse population of more than 10,000. Du Wei served as the county commander of Zitong, and did not add soldiers and horses, so Zitong did not have a large army, only a few county soldiers, Du Wei tried his best to raise two months of grain and grass for Chen Lin's army, almost as much as he could. On this day, Chen Lin and Du Wei were still talking about happiness in Zitong, the two laughed, and Fa Yan and Jia Xu said in the distance: "Wenhe, why is this lord so changeable, he can not only be so reckless and intimate with Vice President Zhou, but also have a good conversation with a talented man like Du Guofu." Jia Xu said with a smile: "The lord is a person of natural nature, and he has three sects and nine streams under his command, and everyone obeys his orders, isn't this the foundation of my lord's great cause?" Fa Yan nodded.

"Report, Fucheng is coming." A sound came and attracted the attention of Chen Lin and others, and now Zitong is no longer Du Wei's master, Chen Lin resolutely became the master, "ordered him to come forward and speak." At the same time, Chen Lin asked Jia Xu Fayan and others to take a seat, and saw the messenger sent by Jia Long come in and kneel on the ground: "Hou Ye, a certain general wants to invite Hou Ye to fight with Liu Thief in Fucheng. After waving the messenger away, Chen Lin said, "Tell me, what does this Jia Qiande mean?" "Jia Long didn't want to surrender to Chen Lin, but also wanted to fight against Liu Yan with Chen Lin, so it was difficult for Jia Long to stand on his own.

When Fa Yan first came to Chen Lin's army, it was not easy to speak, but Jia Xu was generous, knowing that Fa Yan was quite strategic, so he said to Chen Lin: "Lord, Ji Mouxing may have an idea." Fa Yan was stunned for a moment, saw Jia Xu smiling and looking at himself, knowing that Jia Xu was giving himself a chance, he couldn't help but boldly say: "Lord, didn't he Jia Qiande invite the lord to go, Yan thought, if my Hanzhong army drove to Fucheng together, then Fucheng was afraid that Jia Qiande would not be able to listen to the lord's orders." "Fa Yan's method is very simple, don't you even need to think about Jia Long's plan, just drive the army over, the six thousand Hanzhong army, the number is more than his Jia Long's five thousand people, with Jia Xu and Fa Yan's ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to clean up Jia Long?

After Chen Lin heard this, he laughed, and secretly said that this Fa Yan is really talented, and it is a little different from Jia Xu, Jia Xu is good at conspiracy and treachery, but Fa Yan is straightforward, and there is a contrast between good and evil. Chen Lin was very happy when he saw that the new Fa Yan could have such insight, and hurriedly said: "Ji Mou is right, okay, my Hanzhong army will drive to Fucheng early tomorrow morning." Then he turned to Du Wei and said: "Guofu, you also want to go with you, this little Zitong County Commander has wronged Guofu, Guofu will first serve as the main man of our army, in charge of grain and grass, and Zitong has his own arrangements." Du Wei hurriedly agreed, and Zitong was officially included in the Hanzhong control sequence.

At dawn on the second day, Chen to Caiyang and Gao Shun received the order early, and set off in formation, and Du Wei sent Qingzhuang to escort grain and grass for the Hanzhong army. Thousands of troops roared away, and when Jia Long learned that Chen Lin was coming today, he sent fast horses to spy on the whereabouts of Chen Lin's army early. In the afternoon, Chen Lin took the lead and came to Fucheng City, looking at the place he had been here, remembering the battle with the Ma Xiang Thief Army in Fucheng that year, Chen Lin sighed. I saw Jia Long standing on the wall in armor, shouting at Chen Lin: "Bozhi, you are here." "Hurriedly ordered the defenders to open the door and let them go. Chen Lin waved his army into the city, Jia Long looked at Chen Lin's mighty army of 6,000, which was extremely powerful, and sighed in his heart, thinking that he also had such a strong army, so why not be afraid of Liu Yan. Thinking about it, he hurriedly went down the city wall to welcome Chen Lin, the two said that they were not familiar with each other but had an unusual friendship, in the Fucheng Mansion, Jia Long set up a banquet to welcome Chen Lin, and even Chen Zhi and a military general were listed.

Halfway through the banquet, Jia Long: "Bozhi, now that thief has 15,000 or 6,000 soldiers in Mianzhutun, and there are 5,000 Qingqiang to help him abuse, my army is weak, I don't know if Bozhi has a good strategy?" After coming to Fucheng, Chen Lin found Jia Long's various performances, Jia Long seemed to have a feeling of self-reliance, at this time Chen Lin didn't trust Jia Long very much, so he said: "Lin has just arrived, I don't know the depth of Shu, and there is no good plan. ”

Back in the barracks, Chen Lin and Jia Xu were conspiring with a short, capable man. I don't know who else remembers the time when he fought Fucheng, the skinny shadowless team member, no one knows what his name is, it may be called Sanzi, it may be called Monkey, anyway, this person was ordered to stay in Fucheng and join the Fucheng garrison, Jia Xu knew that the Hanzhong army would come back sooner or later. No, Chen Lin had just come to Fucheng, and this man appeared, and he was reporting at this time: "My lord, leader, this Jia Qiande now has 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, only 2,000 are the previous soldiers and horses, and 3,000 are only recently recruited, because most of the scholars in Fucheng are dissatisfied with Liu Junlang, so they all volunteer to provide food and grass for the army, so there is no need to worry." ”

Five thousand, Chen Lin thought about it and said: "How many people and horses in Fucheng are controlled by Wuying now?" The short man hurriedly said: "My lord, the purpose of our stay here is to spy on the inside story of the military situation and convey information to Hanzhong, so now Fucheng is not mainly in charge of the army, so there are no soldiers and horses in Fucheng except for no shadow, I hope the lord will forgive his sins." When Chen Lin heard this, he secretly said that he had forgotten the nature of the shadowless, so he said that it was okay. looked at Jia Xu for the last time, and said to the man: "There should be no problem in Fucheng now, Jia Qiande can't threaten our army, I don't know if you dare to defect to Liu Junlang?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Lord, no need, I am also in the Liuzhou pastoral army, and I will not go again." Chen Lin smiled, the third son glanced at Chen Lin, then looked at Jia Xu, and said to Chen Lin: "The third son is willing to go" As soon as these words came out, Jia Xu was surprised, and then looked as usual. Although Wuying was ordered by Jia Xu, it was a sharp blade in Chen Lin's hands, and the performance of the third son made Jia Xu not suspicious of Chen Lin, so Jia Xu no longer spoke out. Chen Lin is very satisfied with the performance of his third son, and he is even more satisfied with Jia Xu's performance, as a military advisor, Jia Xu can only give Chen Lin advice and suggestions, but he cannot make decisions on behalf of Chen Lin, Jia Xu has a good grasp of this bottom line.

After Jia Xu's third son left, Chen Lin said to Huang Yan: "Huang Yan, go and invite your uncle to come, don't let others know." After a while, Chen arrived and said: "Big brother" The two brothers talked freely again, and finally Chen Lin: "Uncle Zhi, send the shadow to contact the three sons of the shadowless team, this person is witty and decisive, and he is up to the task." ”

Chen Dao: "The eldest brother wants the third son to be appointed in the shadowless, and he can monitor the shadowless?" Chen Lin: "Yes, before a certain led troops to Luoyang to crusade against Dong Zhongying, you and Zilan stayed in Hanzhong, if it wasn't for the shadow that the Han sergeant clan had moved, and could deal with it with Zhizhi in time, I don't know what would happen to Hanzhong." Therefore, the collapse of all forces and the internal collapse are far stronger than the external pressure, and a certain army has been fighting for many years, always wondering why sometimes when the enemy is outnumbered, it can still capture the enemy's soldiers and horses alive, while sometimes a small group of men and horses in the enemy's military region can cause our army to suffer heavy losses. It's nothing more than the enemy's army crumbling from within, the army is distracted, or civil strife, that's all. My Hanzhong is now gradually growing, and I don't want to do something unfavorable to our army internally in the future, so all things in Hanzhong must be carried out under the supervision of my three brothers, so when I take Zhongzhi to ask for Dong, I want to stay in Hanzhong, and now I want to bring you to Shuzhong, and I want to stay in Hanzhong, and Uncle Zhi can understand the intentions of being a brother. ”

Chen Zhi is a mature and steady person, how can he not understand Chen Lin's thoughts, to put it bluntly, everything must be based on the foundation of the Chen family. At this time, Chen Lin said so clearly, Chen Zhi swore to assist Chen Lin well, and said at the same time: "Big brother, since everything can be broken from the inside, why don't you let Wuying and Shadow contact the scholar clan of Mianzhu, maybe you can also say that some of them will be lowered, after all, Liu Junlang really treats the Shu sergeant clan harshly in Shu." ”

Chen Lin smiled and said: "Well, yes, a certain teacher has already gone south a few days ago, presumably with the reputation of the teacher, it is enough for Liu Junlang to worry about him."

Just when Chen Lin and Jia Long were discussing whether to make an appointment with Liu Yan in Fucheng, a fast horse ran from Mianzhu, which made Chen Lin overjoyed and returned without a shadow. I don't know for what reason, Jia Long insisted that he couldn't be easily fooled, and at this time Liu Yan's conspiracy. Jia Long's move further increased Chen Lin's defense against Jia Long.

Jia Xu: "Lord, Jia Qiande saw that Qin Ziyi wanted to surrender to my Hanzhong, so he was bent on blocking it, and the lord can beware of Jia Qiande's confusion and revealed the news that Qin Ziyi was going to surrender our army to Liu Zhoumu." Chen Lin was taken aback, could it be that Jia Long wanted to get rid of Qin Mi with Liu Yan's hand in order to prevent Qin Mi from surrendering to Chen Lin, but Chen Lin thought about Jia Long's recent behavior and decided to take precautions. So Chen Lin was covered with no shadow on the road between Fucheng and Mianzhu, as long as he found that it was not the scouts from Hanzhong who traveled between these two counties, he would take it first. At the same time, Chen Lin said: "Wenhe, Jia Qiande is now inseparable from our army, and it is not a way to do it for so long, Wenhe has a clever plan?" ”

While Chen Lin and Jia Xu were discussing Jia Long, Jia Long also talked about Chen Lin to his cronies, only to see his cronies say: "General, now that Chen Bozhi is buying people's hearts in Fucheng, and now everyone in Fucheng regards the Hanzhong Army as a life-saving benefactor, where is there a position for the general, general." Jia Long was full of gloom and said: "I can't imagine that Chen Bozhi will use such a means to let Qin Zizhi take refuge in Hanzhong, otherwise in the future, even if Shuzhong drives away Liu Junlang, Chen Bozhi will come again." ”

When the cronies heard this, they stepped forward with a wicked smile: "General, if you don't secretly inform Liu Junlang of the news of Qin Ziyi, Liu Junlang will not allow Qin Ziyi, it seems that Qin Ziyi is dead, this matter is worry-free, and Liu Junlang will fight in the future, the general can let the Hanzhong army go out of the city, our army will defend the city, the Hanzhong army is only 6,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Junlang has nearly 20,000, and then the Hanzhong soldiers and horses will be defeated and return, the general can say that the enemy army is following behind, and the city gate will not be opened to let Hanzhong come in, and then ......" Jia Long heard it, and was shocked, this plan is too poisonous, wouldn't it let the Hanzhong army die unjustly, But when Jia Long thought about it, he was ruthless in his heart and said, "Okay, just do it." At this time, Jia Long couldn't imagine how he was frightened every day when Chen Lin didn't come, and he couldn't think of whether even if he could kill Chen Lin, whether he would be able to face Liu Yan alone.

I don't know how Chen Lin will deal with it, who knows, God knows.
