"Didn't the lord expect that Fan Lixiang would surrender to the lord?"

"Not sure, but not surprised."

Liu Zhang regained his body, he was prone to sleepiness in the spring, and felt that it was more comfortable to put his head on his fist.

"I just didn't expect Fan Lixiang's means, deception, grain search, grain burning, popular rebellion, and taking the lead in rebellion, it was really done in one go, the means were much more clever than ours, when we left Jingnan, those people were numb, and now the people of Jingnan should hate Liu Biao to the bone, and be grateful to us, and she Fan Lixiang has rightfully become the leader of the farmers in Jingnan, killing three birds with one stone, and the official is ashamed."

Fa Zheng smiled and said disapprerovingly: "This Fan Lixiang does have some ability, she sold Liu Biao thoroughly, and finally brought the three counties to surrender to us, and because she is a peasant leader, it is impossible for the lord not to appoint her as an important position, and she is skillful in scheming, but she is playing the art, the lord is playing the Tao, the art is a small art, and the Tao is the avenue." ”

"Oh, how do you say?" Liu Zhang himself became curious.

Fa Zheng said angrily: "The attachment of the people of Jingnan is entirely because of Fan Lixiang's deception, how long can this deception last?" If Fan Lixiang can't make the people of Jingnan rich, sooner or later he will lose the hearts of the people, and this method is not universal, on the contrary, what the lord did in Yizhou can be described as angry and resentful under the pen of the clan, but is that really the case?

I don't know how many low-level people have ignited the hope of getting ahead, and the land order has saved many poor people who sell their children and daughters, and they are really grateful to the lord, although the power of the clan is huge, and the support effect of these low-level people is not significant, but as long as we insist, sooner or later the people will feed back to us, Fa Zheng firmly believes that this is the real avenue. ”

Liu Zhang smiled faintly, his fingers knocked on the wooden table one by one, he still knows the people's hearts in Yizhou, but as Fa Zheng said, the power of the people is too strong, if the people are in turmoil, these people's hearts will not play much role, and the propaganda tools are in the hands of the people, and the people of other states think that the people of Yizhou live under the butcher's butcher's knife.

That's why those people in Jingnan heard about the arrival of the Sichuan army, and immediately helped the old and the young to leave their hometowns.

Now to Jingbei too, those small cities and small counties, they know that they are invincible, the city guards and soldiers dare not surrender, they can only abandon the city and flee, many people also run away, the Sichuan army is under the pen of the clan, it is estimated that it is a group of demons who kill people when they see people, and they are violent when they see women, and they drink human blood and cook human flesh. It's not like an army coming, it's like an army of beasts.

"That's it, Yizhou is still in the period of breaking the cocoon, it's all difficult, I hope to use Fan Lixiang's technique more, what is not a big way, you don't have to comfort me, let's talk about the battle situation in Jingbei."

"Yes."

Fa Zheng picked up the pen and circled it on the map, stating the man's strategy in his mouth, and Liu Zhang listened with his eyes closed.

A fast horse galloped and stopped outside Liu Zhang's carriage.

"Report to the lord, there are soldiers trampling on the people's dry rice, please send it down."

Liu Zhang didn't reply in the car, and after a while, Yan Yan, who was riding a horse on the side of the carriage, said to the young general: "Didn't you have a military order a long time ago, not to trample on the rice fields, and those who violate the order will be beheaded?" Why do you bother the lord with this little thing? Kill it. ”

"Yes, the last will be convicted, and the last will be retired."

The young general bowed and was about to leave, when Liu Zhang poked his head out of the window of the carriage, and the light outside stimulated his eyes into a slit: "Bring the prisoners up." ”

Just now I talked to Fa Zheng about the people's hearts, and someone trampled on the rice fields, plus the car was stuffy, and the carriage was more bumpy than riding a horse, and Liu Zhang also wanted to come out to breathe.

The five soldiers were escorted over, knelt in front of Liu Zhang, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Liu Zhang stretched, walked in front of several soldiers, and asked casually, "Why are you trampling on the people's crops?" ”

The five soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said urgently: "Lord, lord, we didn't mean it, we escorted the carts, the horses were sparse all the way, the smell was unbearable, and the road was too narrow, so we walked a few steps to the mountains, begging the lord to spare his life, begging the lord to spare his life." ”

"Please spare your life, the little ones don't dare anymore."

"Pray that the Lord will spare his life."

"Oh." Liu Zhang nodded, rubbed his hands, looked left and right, and said word by word: "The escort cart, the horses are thin, and the road is narrow, so trample on the rice fields, right?" ”

Liu Zhang looked at several Jingzhou soldiers, and several soldiers nodded hurriedly.

"Killed." Liu Zhang said two words lightly, turned around and walked towards the carriage, several tiger and wolf sergeants immediately stepped forward, and five Jingzhou soldiers shouted for mercy, and at this moment, a sharp voice came out of the military column.

"Oh, wonderful, wonderful, dare to love this Uncle Liuhuang's military law, which was specially formulated for our Jingzhou soldiers, so governing the army, no wonder it can win a hundred battles, no wonder, no wonder."

The voice was too high-pitched, like a eunuch, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone followed the voice, only to see a soldier wearing cloth armor and a bamboo helmet, no longer small, with a pestle and a spear in his hand, his body was motionless, but his face was full of expressions, and all his expressions converged into two words: disdain.

Liu Zhang turned around, when he saw that it was a small soldier who made a big speech, he immediately aroused curiosity, his eyes looked at the soldier, usually if the soldier was looked at by Liu Zhang, he must have lowered his head, but the soldier's face did not change, his head was still slightly raised, his eyes looked at the sky at forty-five degrees, and he didn't look at Liu Zhang.

"Pang Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about?" The general Gao Pei immediately scolded and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Lord, this person is a Jingzhou soldier who served a few days ago, the last general saw that although he was not hard and could speak, he stayed by his side and became a personal soldier. ”

Since occupying Jiangling, Gao Pei has been depressed in his heart, he used to follow Zhang Ren's brothers, Deng Xian, Liu Xuan, Yang Huai all guarded one side, Lei Tong commanded the cavalry, and he was left alone, except for fighting behind the lord's buttocks, nothing came out, originally Leng Bud was the same as himself, and now he died in Jiangdong, and he will enter the Meritorious Pavilion, leaving himself alone, Gao Pei was so anxious that he couldn't do it.

Gao Pei figured out that this Wei Yan could be promoted to general, all relying on the ability to command the troops, first took down the Jiameng Pass, scared off the Hanzhong soldiers, and then Bailongjiang was outnumbered, and 7,000 tired soldiers defeated 20,000 Hanzhong elites, relying on all strategy and command, Gao Pei wanted to find someone to learn the art of war.

Hey, don't say it, someone will send water when you are really thirsty, and someone will make a bed when you are sleepy, the generals of the Sichuan army recruited troops in Jiangling, and few came to serve, but they let themselves recruit a person who can speak well, talking about the art of war, listening to Gao Peiyun Mountain fog cover, but I always feel that it is like that.

So Gao Pei kept people by his side and asked for advice every day, but he didn't expect that this person didn't know the height of the sky, and he was also verbose in front of the lord, for fear that Liu Zhang's face would be flat, so he would kill his military advisor, Gao Pei almost didn't scare out the cold sweat.
