In Jiangzhou, Zhao Wei and Li Yi were counting the grain and grass requisitioned from various clans in the past few days, when Pang Le suddenly broke in and said with a smile: "Lord, happy event, great happy event." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhao Wei asked.

Pang Le said: "Just now Chengdu ordered Yu An to send someone to report, and three days later, Liu Zhang will go to Fucheng to welcome the lord into Chengdu." ”

"How many soldiers and horses are with you?" Zhao Wei said nervously.

Pang Le said with a smile: "There are only 5,000 infantry from General Zhang Ren. ”

"God help me." Zhao Wei was overjoyed: "Liu Zhang's death is coming, when the time comes, I will lead 3,000 cavalry first, General Pang, you will lead the army later, if Liu Zhang opens the city, I will kill the general, if you don't open the city, the army will besiege, Fucheng has my internal response, Liu Zhang will definitely die." ”

At this time, Li Yi frowned and said: "Liu Zhang doesn't care about political affairs on weekdays, why did he make such a big move today, and he wanted to go to Fucheng to greet the lord?"

Zhao Wei said: "Liu Zhang thinks that this will allow me to enter Chengdu, how can such a stupid person be worthy of being the lord of Xichuan, he should have been replaced a long time ago, General Pang, General Li, now count the soldiers and horses with me." ”

At night, Liu Zhang beckoned Zhang Ren to come to see him.

"Meet my lord." Zhang Ren bowed his hand and bowed.

"General Zhang, is it appropriate for me to let you choose five thousand elite armor soldiers?"

"All geared up."

Liu Zhang nodded, and said to Zhang Ren: "Remember, the selected armor must be a soldier who dares to fight to the death, with more strong bows and crossbows, and as many weapons as you can bring, the weapons in the Chengdu treasury are at your disposal, and you must be fully equipped." ”

Zhang Ren said loudly: "Please rest assured, these 5,000 soldiers are all personally trained by the last general, and there are no people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they are just ......" Zhang Ren hesitated for a moment and said: "The lord's intention, this time I went to Fucheng, whether there was a war." ”

Liu Zhang said: "That's right, go to Fucheng, Zhao Wei will rebel, General Zhang, this time you may be 5,000 soldiers against 50,000 rebels, dare to kill the enemy with this official Fucheng?" "Tomorrow is the time to go to Fucheng, Zhang Ren is the accompanying general, and there is no need to hide it from him.

Zhang Ren was shocked in his heart, grateful to Liu Zhang for his trust, and said angrily: "Zhang Ren swears allegiance to the lord to the death, and he will survive with the lord, but since the lord knows that Zhao Wei will rebel, why only bring 5,000 infantry, so, the last general does not dare to guarantee that he can resist the rebels, and can only guarantee to die before the lord." ”

Liu Zhang nodded, Zhang Ren was not like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he took care of everything in any situation, as if he came out, thousands of troops and horses were wiped out, and Zhang Ren was more rational than these fierce generals, Liu Zhang said: "You don't have to worry about these, you just need to recommend a cavalry commander to me." ”

"The last general's account is under the commander Lei Tong." Zhang Ren said without hesitation.

"Thunder Copper." Liu Zhang read it silently, he didn't have any impression, and there was no decent cavalry commander under him in history, after all, there were not many cavalry in Xichuan, so he said to Zhang Ren: "Okay, go back and order troops, if you succeed in quelling the rebellion this time, you will be the general of Yizhou." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Zhang Ren bowed and exited the room.

Liu Zhang beckoned to Wang Lei, and the two walked towards the prison, where Wang Fu sat alone, described as haggard, and when he saw Liu Zhang's arrival, he immediately seized the opportunity to step forward and shouted: "The lord must not go to Fucheng, otherwise Xichuan will be ruined." Wang Fu had already heard about Liu Zhang's decision to go to Fucheng, and he was worried in prison for the past few days.

Liu Zhang took his hand and said, "Wang Fu, don't you know what is wrong?" If you admit your mistake, I will immediately reinstate you, or else you will be in this prison for the rest of your life. ”

Wang Fu listened to Liu Zhang's words, grabbed the wooden pillar with both hands, and said to Liu Zhang angrily: "Lord, even if Wang Fu has to spend his whole life in prison, he must be loyal and outspoken, Zhao Yun is ambitious, and Fucheng must not go." ”

"Stubborn." Liu Zhang scolded angrily, ordered the jailer to open the cell, and then retreated from the crowd.

Wang Fu watched Liu Zhang walk into the prison in surprise, Liu Zhang glanced at Wang Fu up and down, nodded and said: "Sure enough, a loyal and righteous man, Wang Fu, this official let you be imprisoned for three days, do you have any complaints about this official?" ”

Wang Fu arched his hand and said, "Wang Fu doesn't dare." ”

"If you don't dare, you have it, but this is also reasonable, three days in prison, the official knows your loyalty, and the official is ready to give you a heavy responsibility, to serve as the Chengdu Order, responsible for all the decrees and defense of Chengdu, before I return to Chengdu, I have the right to mobilize all the materials and soldiers in Chengdu, are you willing to take the order?"

Liu Zhang was promoted to Yu An to engage in governance, and he was the highest subordinate official of the state pastor, in charge of military and political affairs, but Liu Zhang asked Yu An to accompany him, and Yu An had nowhere to do it, and it was not as good as a real lack of a Chengdu order, which seemed to be promoted, but in fact it was hollowed out, and Liu Zhang's vacant Chengdu order was prepared for Wang Fu.

"This ......" Liu Zhang's attitude changed too quickly, and Wang Fu hadn't turned the corner for a while.

"Just say it if you want to." Liu Zhang said coldly.

"Wang Fu is grateful for the great grace of the lord and is willing to serve death." Wang Fu finally bowed aloud.

Liu Zhang bowed his head and said: "That's good, Wang Ti will hand over the letter to you later, tomorrow after I go to Fucheng, you will take over the position, I want you to send troops to monitor Yu An'an's house, if you hear about the battle in Fucheng, you will immediately be beheaded in Anmanmen." ”

"What?" Wang Fu was shocked.

Liu Zhang sighed lightly and said: "If you are not an official who is fond of killing, there are too many grasses on the wall of Yizhou officials, and you must make an example of them, otherwise those who collude with Zhao Wei will be numerous, and Chengdu will also be in chaos, understand?" ”

Wang Fu's heart was cold, it turned out that the lord had already noticed Zhao Wei, and the day before yesterday was just acting, and it was normal to collude with traitors to kill all over the house, but it came out of the mouth of Liu Zhang, who had always been cowardly, Wang Fu was a little surprised, and immediately bowed: "Don't worry, Wang Fu will definitely stabilize the rear for the lord." ”

Liu Zhang walked out of the prison and breathed a sigh of relief, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and the rest depends on the will of God.

On the second day, Liu Zhang went to Fucheng in person, don't drive Zhang Song, the military lieutenant Fa Zheng, and Zhizhong engaged in Yu An's entourage, Zhang Ren led 5,000 soldiers to escort and escort hundreds of carriages, the wheels creaked on the ground, and it was filled with gifts for Zhao Yun's army.

Yu An looked at these big cars and couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that this Liu Zhang is really stupid, isn't this being sold and helping people to make money? Waiting for Zhao Yun's cavalry to drive in, Liu Zhang didn't know how to cry, but looking at the five thousand soldiers, each soldier was full of quivers, Yu An felt cautious and panicked.

When the army arrived in Fucheng, Fucheng officials went out of the city to greet him, Liu Zhang entered Fucheng under the welcome of the sandwich road, looking at the straight guards standing on the city wall and a bustling Fucheng street, Liu Zhang said to Gong Zhi, the commander of Fucheng County: "Lord Gong, this Fucheng is well governed, the city defense is strong, and the people are solid. ”

What Liu Zhang saw were those prepared by the Fucheng officials when they learned that Liu Zhang was coming, those soldiers were carefully selected Fucheng guards, and the streets they walked through were also whitewashed, and the poor had already been isolated, Gong Zhi heard that Liu Zhang was satisfied, his face bloomed, and he immediately took out the roster of Fucheng officials and handed it to Liu Zhang.
