512, little people
Mianzhu has changed, just four words, but it shocked the hearts of more than a dozen people present.
Zhang Song was shocked that Fa Zheng's promise to him came so timely, and then he was secretly happy in his heart, and he was much more sure of his plan.
And Fa Zheng is simply happy, Yuan Shang let him enter Shu, this matter should be difficult, but in fact, it is not difficult, especially with external forces as funding, his work is only from the two power groups, trying to pry open a hole, and let the water flow out.
Liu Ba looked at Fa Zheng deeply, and his eyes were full of meaning.
Compared with these three people, including Liu Zhang, the rest of the people had different expressions, but there was one point, the color of shock was beyond words.
It was Lai Min, who was clamoring for a duel with Yuan Shang, and he also closed his mouth.
His so-called decisive battle with Yuan Shang was based on Zhang Ren's courage to defeat Pang Tong's troops in Luocheng, especially the unknown life and death of Pang Tong, which made Lai Min think that the tiger and wolf army were nothing more than that.
He is just a scholar, a simple reader, in the struggle between the two major forces in Yizhou, he is not the most dazzling, far inferior to Huang Quan, Pang Xi, Zhang Song, Wu Yi and others, but, on top of this, he is indeed thinking about Liu Zhang, the struggle between the kings of the past dynasties, without blood as a foreshadowing, is not satisfactory after all, and even if Liu Zhang can't fight Yuan Shang, but, as the head of a force, if he doesn't show the ability that people can't despise, Liu Zhang will demote Yuan Shang in the future, and how much status can he have?
If it is light, it will be degraded and depreciated, and if it is serious, it will not be guaranteed, in Laimin's opinion, it is naturally the best for Liu Zhang to force Yuan Shang back. If not. Yuan Shang and his subordinates can't be underestimated. As Liu Zhang's subordinates, at this point, Lai Min and Liu Zhang are both prosperous and lossy.
It's just that he didn't expect that the speed of the tiger and wolf army's counterattack came so quickly, and the Mianzhu Pass was towering, which has always been an important barrier in Chengdu, and has the reputation of being the leader of ancient Shu and an important town in Yizhou. Once Mianzhu is lost, there will be no pass to defend in the north of Chengdu, especially the loss of Mianzhu Pass, the tiger and wolf army can take advantage of the situation to kill Chengdu, and its harm is naturally needless to say.
Liu Zhang's face was slightly pale, he got up suddenly, supported the table with both hands, and roared a little out of control: "Which of you will tell me, a few days ago, Zhang Ren still killed the enemy army and abandoned his armor, and now how did Mianzhu lose it?" β
There was silence in the hall. Wang Lei, who came with this news, said in a trembling voice: "Return to the lord." According to the soldiers who fled back to Chengdu, the soldiers and horses who raided Mianzhu were the Ma Chao troops who entered Shu, and the defenders of Mianzhu only fought for half a day, and the main general Wu Yi... Wu Yiben..."
Speaking of this, Wang Ti was already a little stumbling, lowered his head, and no longer looked at Liu Zhang.
"Say,"
Liu Zhang slapped the table and snorted coldly: "What's wrong with Wu Yi? β
Wang Ti's body was shocked, and he was silent for a while, but he still responded: "The main general Wu Yi led the crowd to lower Ma Chao." β
"How can this be justified?"
Liu Zhang's thin body didn't know where to get a transcendent strength, and he casually overturned the table, and said angrily: "Wu Yipifu, I will destroy your door." β
Seeing this, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and saw Liu Zhang's anger for the first time, but they didn't feel much surprised, after all, Wu Yi can be regarded as a great hero of the two generations of Liu father and son, whether it is Liu Yan's entry into Shu, or Liu Zhang's stabilization of Shu, it is inseparable from the help of Wu Yi and the Wu family behind him, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Wu Yi actually led the crowd to surrender Yuan Shao, for Liu Zhang, this is tantamount to a great insult, you know, on weekdays, Liu Zhang is very dependent on Wu Yi, and even called it a minister of the humerus, how much love, There is a lot of hatred, Liu Zhang at this moment, the anger in his heart, in addition to the anger at Wu Yi for throwing away Mianzhu, also has a kind of anger of betrayal.
"What about Zhang Ren? Why didn't troops be sent in time to recapture Mianzhu? Liu Zhang said angrily.
Among the people sitting in the hall, Huang Quan sighed in his heart, this Liu Zhang was also angry, the two armies fought each other, how could he say that he could move, although Zhang Rengang ambushed Pang Tong and achieved a small-scale victory, but it was an inconsequential victory after all, the only remarkable thing was that Zhang Renqiao used the terrain to shoot and injure Pang Tong, but the news of Pang Tong's life and death was not determined for a day, Zhang Ren would not move easily, he and Liu Lingbao Deng Xian's position has been nailed to the city, although Mianzhu and the city are not far apart, However, with Zhang Ren's caution, for the purpose of guarding against Pang Tong's comeback, he would definitely not easily transfer his troops and horses out of Ruocheng, even if Huang Quan led his troops to garrison Luocheng, and the same was true.
Zhang Ren didn't have many choices, but his choice made Liu Zhang very unhappy.
Nothing is as important as his own net worth, Mianzhu is lost, Chengdu is completely exposed to Ma Chao's iron horse, and no one can say clearly at the last moment, but Liu Zhang's resentment towards Zhang Ren is also rising at any time.
"If Zhang Ren sends troops to Mianzhu in time, Wu Yi will not lead the crowd to surrender."
This is Liu Zhang's slightly naΓ―ve idea, pushing all this on Zhang Ren's head, Liu Zhang's heart is at ease, and in the same way, the anger also found two outlets at the same time.
"Wu Yi is the first evil, and Zhang Ren has been."
Liu Zhang's anger was inexhaustible, and his heart was full of anger and even fear.
Huang Quan had no choice but to stand up: "Don't be angry, the loss of Mianzhu is a foregone conclusion now, it is better to find a way to hold Chengdu first." β
"What Gong Heng said is right, at present, Ma Chao's department must be coming to Chengdu under the leadership of Wu Yi, and a charter must be made first, so as to deal with the next series of trivial matters." Qian Zhou, who exuded an elegant atmosphere, suddenly got up and said.
Qian Zhou is a person from Yizhou who is a child of the Eight Classics, carefully studies the Six Classics, knows astronomy, and is one of the great Confucians in Shu, but this person is not from the world, and can sit at the same table with Zhang Song, Huang Quandong, Pang Xi, Xu Jing and others, it is precisely because of his name of Confucianism that he was accepted by the Yizhou Shizu Group, this person has always had a special status in the Yizhou Shizu Group, rarely participates in the fighting, but is quite prestigious, don't look at the age, that is, Xu Jing and others in different camps are not willing to easily offend him.
Scholars are already respected, and those who have become famous are even more afraid to offend easily, this is the case with Qian Zhou, Liu Zhang is angry again, and his face was a little relieved when he saw Zhou standing up.
"Does Mr. Yunnan have a clever plan?" Liu Zhang's escort sat down, and the Tie Qing who appeared because of his anger gradually became depressed. γ
Qian Zhou frowned slightly, the pair of deep eyes swirled slightly, and the light flashed, but he saw this great Confucian who was famous for his knowledge in Yizhou and said: "I can't talk about the clever plan, but my subordinates have been watching the dry elephant night in a row for a few days, and I saw the stars gathered in Shu, and its big starlight is like the bright moon, which is the image of the emperor. β
As soon as Qian Zhou's words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, especially Zhang Song, who quietly glanced at Fa Zheng, but saw that Fa Zheng's face was as usual as usual, as if he did not hear the meaning of Qian Zhou's words, and suddenly a depression in his heart came to his head from the foot board, at this moment, his first reaction was not to reprimand Qian Zhou, but to be shocked and suspicious, what he wanted to know was whether Qian Zhou was also like him, quietly had contact with Yuan Shang, which was the most important.
Liu Zhang was not angry, only his face was pale, in this era of backward science and technology, there is nothing more deterrent than the will of heaven, especially Qian Zhou is not only a famous scholar in Shu, but also a master of astronomy.
"No"
But it was Huang Quan and Pang Xi who got up at the same time, but they saw that these two old men in Shuzhong, who belonged to different camps but were also in high power, shouted in unison, which shocked the other people in the hall.
Huang Quan and Pang Xi had a rare tacit understanding, glanced at each other, but listened to Pang Xi take the first step and said: "Yuan Shang's wolf ambition is known to the world, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Gongsun Zhan, and he is the enemy and finally ends up dead without a place to bury, if this person is lowered, it is difficult for the lord to have a place to live, in the eyes of his subordinates, although the enemy army is menacing, our side is not without a chance of winning, Chengdu city is towering, the baggage is complete, the two generations of the lord is kind to the people is the will of the people, as long as the lord ascends to the height, you can gather tens of thousands of people with armor in an instant, Why fear a war? β
"Master Pang's words are wrong"
It was not Qian Zhou, Zhang Song, or Xu Jing who refuted Huang Quan at the first time, but Huang Quan, who stood up with him.
The handsome man of real power had a loud voice, which was a strange contrast to his thin size.
But he saw Huang Quan arching his hand at Liu Zhang: "The subordinates also don't agree to surrender without a fight, but they don't agree to fight to the death with the enemy army to the end, and investigate the reason, or for the people of Shudi." β
The palm in Fa Zheng's sleeve suddenly tightened, Huang Quan would come out to refute, in his expectation, unlike Pang Xi, these Dongzhou people, Huang Quan is an authentic Shu people, and he is also a general with the qualification to lead the army, and it is his duty to resist the enemy, but, based on his background and position, Huang Quan will never be able to fight to the death with the tiger and wolf army as Pang Xi said, especially under the premise that there is no chance of winning.
Liu Zhang's face was pale, looking at Huang Quan and Pang Xi who came forward, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say a word.
Everyone in the hall was silent, as if he had no connection with him, but in fact, Fa Zheng, who was inextricably linked to him everywhere, was not conspicuous, he was like a director hiding in the crowd, although he was not the main actor, but this scene was written by him.
Liu Ba is as silent as ever, he is a smart person, and smart people often don't talk much.
Fa Zheng didn't seem to notice his observation, and he didn't seem to have the urge to break it all, it seemed that at this moment, everyone in the hall, including Liu Zhang, had just forgotten about these two small people who could actually influence the overall situation. (To be continued......)
