Chapter 631: Burning Eyebrows
Everyone was stunned, this is not a New Year's Day, why does Zhang Su have to pay such a big salute. Liu Zhang was also deeply puzzled, so he asked Zhang Su to get up and speak.
Zhang Su knelt on the ground and presented a letter, Liu Zhang opened the letter and couldn't help but be furious.
It turned out that Zhang Song couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Fazheng Mengda had contributed capital to Zhongcheng and that Liu Ze's army had already driven towards Chengdu. Zhang Song and Fazheng Mengda have been too close, and they have long had the intention of surrendering to the Sichuan, and now that Fazheng Mengda and the two have taken refuge in Liu Ze, it is time for them to take action. So Zhang Song repaired a letter to Liu Ze, agreeing that the inside and outside should cooperate to take Chengdu.
As soon as Zhang Song's letter was written, his brother Guanghan Taishou Zhang Su came, because he was a brother, Zhang Su did not pass on it at all, and directly broke into Zhang Song's study. Zhang Song took the wine and drank with Zhang Su, and between the staggering, Zhang Song's letter accidentally fell to the ground, Zhang Song didn't find it at that time, and Zhang Su didn't find it, but it was picked up by Zhang Su's entourage.
After the banquet dispersed, the entourage gave the letter to Zhang Su, Zhang Su looked at it and was shocked, this is the capital crime of exterminating the nine clans! Zhang Su thought about it again and again, and reported Zhang Song, Zhang Song must be a dead end, if he didn't report it, the matter would be revealed in the future, and it would be a disaster for the Nine Clans, and even his Zhang Su's family would not be spared. Thinking of this, Zhang Su couldn't care about his brotherhood, and hurriedly took the letter to see Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang was trembling with anger, his face was pale, and Zhang Song was immediately summoned.
Zhang Song was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this time, and the letter in the sleeve of his robe was missing, this is okay, once this letter falls into Liu Zhang's hands, it will be a dead end. Zhang Song was rummaging through boxes and cabinets at home to find the letter, and the people sent by Liu Zhang had already arrived at Zhang's mansion. Summoned Zhang Song to see Liu Zhang.
Zhang Song was helpless, and came to the state pastoral mansion with anxiety in his heart. Above the lobby, Zhang Song saw Liu Zhang, Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others there, as well as his brother Zhang Su kneeling on the ground, looking sad. Zhang Song's heart was cold, and he stepped forward to salute and said, "I don't know if the lord is calling." So what's going on? ”
Liu Zhang's eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, and he threw the letter in his hand in front of Zhang Song, and said angrily: "Zhang Song, I have never treated you lightly, why do you want to eat inside and out, secretly communicate with Liu Ze, and want to sacrifice Chengdu?" ”
Zhang Song didn't need to read it, he knew that it was his own handwritten letter, and it was obviously Zhang Su who betrayed himself. Zhang Song glanced at Zhang Su, who was kneeling on the ground without even raising his head, and infinite sadness surged in his heart. The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, Zhang Song is irrefutable, he knows that he will die, but he put down his burden, he straightened his waist, faced Liu Zhang, and said calmly: "The matter has come to this." Let it go! ”
Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Song to be pushed out and beheaded, and his anger did not subside. He also ordered that all the old and young of Zhang Song's family be arrested and abandoned in the city, and the three clans were wiped out. Zhang Su was comforted with kind words, not only spared Zhang Su from the crime of sitting together, but also gave a heavy reward.
Huang Quan and others were not on good terms with Zhang Song, and they repeatedly disagreed on political views and disputes. But today Zhang Song was beheaded because of rebellion, but there was no joy on everyone's faces, and they all felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
After killing Zhang Song, Liu Zhang gradually calmed down from his mania, and Zhang Song's fate today. It's not a different day. The crisis faced this time is the biggest crisis since Liu Zhang took office as the pastor of Yizhou, and it can even be said to be the biggest crisis since Liu Yan founded the foundation of Yizhou, and Zhang Song was beheaded, although the hidden dangers brought by internal and external collusion to Chengdu were avoided from a certain extent, but the real crisis in Chengdu has not been resolved, Liu Ze's strength is four or five times that of the defenders of Chengdu, and it is really unknown whether he can hold Chengdu.
"Order all the defenders of Chengdu to go to the city wall to defend, and defend Chengdu at any cost! Order Wu Yi, Liu Bi, Yan Yan, and Li Yan to lead their headquarters to return to Chengdu immediately, and there must be no mistakes! ”
Liu Ba arched his hand and said: "It seems inappropriate for the lord to summon all the men and horses in eastern Sichuan to return to Chengdu, it is very important for Yan Taishou to guard the White Emperor City, if the White Emperor is lost, there is almost no barrier to protect in eastern Sichuan." In the opinion of humble duty, it is better to only transfer Liu Bi's troops back to Chengdu, and the rest of the departments still stick to the key points everywhere to prevent accidents. ”
At this time, Liu Zhang's eyebrows were already burning, Liu Ze had already attacked the city of Chengdu, seeing that Chengdu could not be saved, where could he take care of the White Emperor City. He waved his hand and said helplessly: "With Liu Ze's men and horses alone, how can they defeat Liu Ze's brave army, in eastern Sichuan, he has not been played to death by Liu Ze, and it is difficult to expect him to solve the siege of Chengdu!" ”
Huang Quan said: "Even so, the White Emperor should not be abandoned, Chengdu City is high and strong, Liu Ze may not be able to conquer lightly, once the soldiers of Yiling enter Sichuan, it will be endless troubles." ”
Liu Zhang thought for a while and said: "Then leave Yan Yan to lead the two horses to garrison the White Emperor, and the other military horses from all walks of life will quickly come to the aid of Chengdu, and there will be no delay for a moment, and the military law will be the violator!" ”
┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄
Wu Yi was caught up by a messenger sent by Liu Zhang more than a hundred miles away from the White Emperor City, and the eight miles were in a hurry, not only did the stagecoach run at the mouth foaming, but the messenger was also so tired that he was out of breath, and the horse didn't stop, and crashed into Wu Yi's marching team. The messenger fell from his horse to the ground, still holding the letter in his hand, and said breathlessly in a hoarse voice: "Chengdu...... 800 Miles Expedited ...... Quickly hand it over to Wu Duhu ......"
The sergeants didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed over the letter to Wu Yi, Wu Yi opened the letter and saw it, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat, Liu Ze was actually in Chengdu, but it was ridiculous that they were still in the dark in eastern Sichuan. Wu Yi only has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his strength alone is not enough to stuff Liu Ze's teeth, not to mention that Liu Zhang said very clearly in the order, that is, except for Yan Yan who left 20,000 troops to garrison the White Emperor City, the rest of the troops will all return to Chengdu. Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Wu Yi did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately accelerated the march and rushed to the White Emperor City, and at the same time he gave an order to Liu Bi and Li Yan to meet with the White Emperor City immediately. Wu Yi was appointed by Liu Zhang to protect the central capital, and he controlled the soldiers and horses of the eastern Sichuan Roads, so he naturally had the right to give orders to Liu Bi and Li Yan.
The journey of more than 100 miles, Wu Yi completed it in less than a day, and the speed was twice as fast as a normal march. Not long after Wu Yi arrived at the White Emperor, Li Yan and Liu Bi also arrived one after another. Wu Yi first showed Liu Zhang, Yan Yan, Li Yan and others the letter of appointment of Liu Zhang appointing him as the central capital to protect the soldiers and horses in eastern Sichuan, and then handed over Liu Zhang's order to return to Chengdu for everyone to circulate.
Hearing Liu Ze's sneak attack on Chengdu, the generals were shocked, Liu Bi was even more sweating, during this time, Liu Bi's army has been in the depths of Bashan and the Jing army, Jing Jun has been in a position with his troops, Liu Bi has approached the Jing army several times, but the Jing army has always been like a slippery loach, no matter how you catch it, and it has always made Liu Bi mistakenly think that he is pursuing the main force of the Jing army. Now there is news from Chengdu, which makes Liu Bi understand that he has fallen for Liu Ze, Liu Ze has set up a suspicious formation in Bashan, and arranged a small number of troops to go around in circles in eastern Sichuan, and the main force has already jumped out of the encirclement and killed Chengdu.
For Liu Zhang's order, the generals naturally had no objection, Chengdu was the top priority, and it could not be lost if it was discussed, so Wu Yi discussed with Liu Bi and several others the specific matters of returning to Chengdu.
"Everyone, don't retreat hastily, although Liu Ze has invaded Chengdu, there are still more than 10,000 defenders in Chengdu, and Chengdu City is deep in trenches and has complete defensive facilities. In the opinion of the last general, Liu Ze's attack on Chengdu this time was just a bluff, just to transfer our army out of eastern Sichuan and return to Chengdu to help, and kill another one back to the horse gun at that time, his real purpose is still the White Emperor City, no matter how much he tosses, his goal has never changed. Only Zhang Ren expressed a different opinion.
"Joke! How did Deyang fall? When everyone thinks that Deyang City is strong and well-guarded, but what about Liu Ze? Two days! It took only two days to capture Deyang Castle, which is known as the first fortress in Sichuan. General Zhang, do you really think that Liu Ze is not capable of taking Chengdu? Wu Yi sneered and scoffed at Zhang Ren's opinion. (To be continued......)
