Chapter 003: Forced Rebellion
Late at night, Huang Quan rushed to the state governor's mansion, he had just arrived in Chengdu, Liu Zhang was not appointed, there was no official residence, because the news of offending Zhao Sui spread, no inn dared to take them in, until very late, Huang Quan settled down with a relative who was doing business.
"Huang Quan meets the lord." Huang Quan surrendered his hand to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang waved his hand, stood up and said: "No need to be polite, Gongheng, I know that you are loyal, and the official is in charge of the small way, so I transferred you to Chengdu, there is a heavy task to entrust, if you have something difficult, or afraid, the official will not force it, and will let you go back to Langzhong." ”
Huang Quan was slightly surprised by Liu Zhang's straightforwardness, in fact, he came this time, he had already guessed some clues, today Liu Zhang's public detention of Zhao Sui is equivalent to tearing his face with Zhao Wei, at this time to recruit himself into the house, naturally to deal with Zhao Wei, Zhao Wei as one of the two major ministers, holding heavy troops, to deal with him is of course full of danger, a careless is the end of the death of the clan.
But Huang Quan listened to Liu Zhang's words, but did not flinch, but his heart was hot, he was only in his early twenties, and he was transferred from Langzhong to Chengdu, and today he was against Zhao Wei for his sister, what reason did he have to retreat, Huang Quan took a step forward and said: "Huang Quan is willing to serve the lord, go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up." ”
"Okay." Liu Zhang said loudly: "With the help of Gongheng, the big thing can be decided, and the official will inform the Gongheng of the plan, and now Zhao Wei has cultivated a private party, dictatorship, and misdeeds, it is already conclusive evidence, and the only thing that the official is worried about is that Zhao Wei has a heavy army, and Chengdu has been operated by his father for many years, and Zhao Wei's tentacles cannot be extended for the time being."
However, Zhao Wei controlled most of the southern part of Yizhou, with more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and countless henchmen, and recently Zhao Wei began to install his cronies in Fucheng, it seems that he wants to use Fucheng as a springboard to slowly infiltrate Chengdu.
Northern Brazil is too protective of Pang Xi, and Zhao Wei is the same assistant minister appointed by his father, but the official can't trust him, Zhao Wei is autocratic, Pang Xi turns a blind eye, and clearly wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the grass on the wall, and fall with the wind, so the most important thing now is to master the military power.
I have already imagined the worst outcome, that is, Zhao Wei gathered his henchmen and led the army to openly rebel, and by then the 10,000 soldiers in Chengdu would not be able to resist, so I want to balance you to go to Guanghan and integrate the Dongzhou soldiers there, the Dongzhou soldiers are the elite of the Sanfu refugees taken in by the late father, brave and strong, but unruly, you are still young, you must be graceful and powerful, the treasury money and grain are at your disposal, and the lieutenant is at your disposal, can you be confident? ”
Huang Quan was shocked in his heart, and said that Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang was weak and incompetent, but he saw it today, but he was so decisive, since the lord has this courage, why not pity this body for the minister, Huang Quan said angrily: "Please rest assured, Huang Quan will live up to the trust." ”
"Okay, you set off overnight, the sooner the integration of the Dongzhou soldiers is, the better."
"Yes."
After Huang Quan went out, Wang Ti said to Liu Zhang worriedly: "Lord, I still think our plan is too risky, not to mention whether Huang Gongheng can integrate the Dongzhou soldiers, the lord will go to Fucheng in person, isn't he in danger?" ”
Liu Zhang said coldly: "Wang Ti, you have been admonished many times, you are a civil official, prudence is your strength, but it cannot be used in the military, Zhao Wei is growing day by day, and this official is like a fish in a pond in winter, the water is getting shallower and shallower, sooner or later Zhao Wei will be squeezed into no living space, so the sooner Zhao Wei rebels, the better."
But now is not the best time for Zhao Wei to rebel, this official still controls more than 20,000 troops, firmly in control of the Chengdu area, Zhao Wei must still want to Taoguang and accumulate strength, if he doesn't rebel, we will force him to rebel, didn't he extend his tentacles to Fucheng? So I went and plucked out his nails, and if he didn't do it, I cut off his bread and grass. ”
Liu Yan is right about at least one thing, the grain and grass of all the troops are supplied by Chengdu, so the lifeblood of Zhao Wei's 50,000 army is in Liu Zhang's hands, which is also the reason why Zhao Yun has never dared to rebel.
In Jiangzhou, Zhao Wei slapped a sheepskin roll on the table and was furious, "How can this be true, I am fighting in the front, but Liu Zhang is detaining my brother in the back, and he wants me to go back to Chengdu to resume my life, which is obviously uneasy and kind." ”
General Pang Le said: "That's right, general, you must not go to Chengdu, Liu Zhang is afraid of the general, and he is going to attack the general." ”
Zhao Wei said angrily: "But since the day before yesterday, Liu Zhang'er has cut off our army's food and grass, and now our army's food and grass is not enough for half a month, if I don't go back to Chengdu, will tens of thousands of troops starve to death?" I'm wondering, Liu Zhang has always been cowardly, how could he suddenly attack Ben Jiang"
Another general, Li Yidao: "Liu Zhang deceives people too much, general, why don't we simply rebel." ”
Zhao Wei waved his hand and said: "Everything is not prepared, there is no food and grass, what do we use?" Brazil's attitude is unclear, he has an army of 20,000, if he is on Liu Zhang's side, we will not be able to predict the victory. ”
"Can't you sit still?" Pang Le said urgently.
Li Yi suddenly smiled wickedly and said, "General, I have an idea, multi-pronged, but it can be safe." ”
"Oh, let's hear it." Zhao Wei and Pang Le both listened with pricked ears.
"General, if we oppose him Liu Zhang now, we have the advantage of the army, Chengdu categorically can't resist our army, the only thing to worry about is three, one is Brazil is too guarded by Pang Xi, this person has the same status as the general, there are 20,000 heavy soldiers under him, which is very important, but Pang Xi is a person, accustomed to speculation, if we rebel, he must want to help the victor and obtain the greatest benefits, so as long as we persuade him, he will be able to make him stand still."
Zhao Wei nodded, with his familiarity with Pang Xi, he thought it was true, and motioned for Li Yi to continue, Li Yi continued: "The second concern is the problem of grain and grass, grain and grass are the foundation of the army, Liu Zhang controls the grain and grass in Chengdu and thinks that he controls the lifeline of our army, in fact, the officials who are attached to the general are all over the south of Yizhou, where there are many landlords and gentry, as long as the general gives an order, there will be countless money and grain, at least support to defeat Liu Zhang."
The third concern, external problems, we sent troops to Chengdu, it is likely to be interfered by Jingzhou, and the Wuxi barbarians, also eyeing the south of Yizhou, if these two forces go out in our army, besiege our rear, it is very worrying, but at the beginning Liu Zhang had a bad relationship with Jingzhou, as long as the general repaired a book, Liu Biao must know that it is powerful, compared to Liu Zhang, maybe Liu Biao would prefer the general to enter Yizhou, and Wuxi Man is even more short-sighted, as long as the general allows money and silk, Jiangzhou can be guaranteed.
These three considerations were solved, and the general's entry into Yizhou was almost a foregone conclusion. ”
Li Yi talked eloquently, and Zhao Wei nodded again and again, and said loudly: "Zhenghe is really my Zhang Liang, when Ben will win Yizhou, you and Pang Le are both Zhonglang generals." ”
"Thank you, Lord." Li Yi and Pang Le bowed down together, and victory seemed to be in front of them, and the two had changed their names.
Chengdu Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Zhang gathered civil and military affairs, looked around, Liu Zhang said indifferently: "This official recruited Zhao Wei into Chengdu, but Zhao Wei did not arrive, you tell me, what is his intention?" ”
The civil and military affairs in the hall were discussed, and Yu An, the commander of Chengdu County, stepped forward and said: "Lord, the so-called general is not affected by the order of the monarch outside, General Zhao did not enter the city to restore his life, I think it is an emergency of war, or he is ill, it is unknown." ”
Liu Zhang sneered in his heart, Zhao Wei did say that he was sick, I didn't even say that you knew, he secretly wrote down the name Yu An in his heart, and said: "This official also thinks that General Zhao has worked hard and made great achievements, since General Zhao is ill and it is inconvenient to travel far, then this official will go to Fucheng to meet him in person, what do you think?" ”
