Chapter 1229: Conspiracy
The 30,000 Qin army, after entering Shu, gradually slowed down the speed of its march.
Along the way, the Qin army scouts found that there were many exploration horses of the Bashu army around the army.
The Qin army did not attack the Bashu cities that passed along the way, and every time they passed through a city, the tanma that followed in front would withdraw, and then they would be replaced by another group of Bashu tanma to follow the team.
Although the Yizhou army sent a probe horse, it did not send troops to intercept the Qin army.
Liu Zhang, who was in Chengdu, did not give the order to intercept it, and the generals who guarded various places did not dare to make a mistake.
The Qin army fought in the south and in the north, and its reputation has long been outside.
If it were not necessary, the Yizhou army would not dare to start the battle lightly.
Zhuge Jun led 30,000 Qin troops to slowly advance towards Chengdu, but in the Chengdu Yizhou Thorn Mansion, Liu Zhang was as restless as an ant on a hot pot.
The Qin army entered Bashu, although it did not conquer the city all the way, but a large army entered his rule, which made Liu Zhang unable to sleep.
In the front hall, there were a number of officials and generals from Yizhou.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuge Jun's body, waiting for him to speak first.
"The Qin army entered Yizhou, and it was already approaching Chengdu!" Looking at everyone in the hall, Liu Zhang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he asked everyone: "Do you think that you should send troops to meet the battle, or should you ask the reason first......
"Lord!" As soon as Liu Zhang's words fell, an old general who was about sixty years old stood up, clasped his fists and said to him: "The Qin army entered Bashu, although they did not conquer the city all the way, who dares to say that their purpose is not Chengdu?" In the eyes of the last general, the lord should send troops to meet the battle and drive the Qin army out of Yizhou! ”
"What General Yan said is very true!" Before the old general finished speaking, a scribe in his thirties, who was born with some roe deer and rat eyes, stood up, first bowed to Liu Zhang with his fists, and then turned his gaze to Yan Yan's face and said: "Since the King of Qin fled from Luoyang back then, he gathered heroes from all over the world, and the Great Qin soldiers and horses rarely lost in the southern and northern wars. Even Cao Cao was driven to Liaodong by the Qin army to survive. The general thinks that if we fight with the Qin army, what are the chances of our army winning? ”
"There are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and the Qin army is only 30,000!" With a cold snort, Yan Yan said to the scribe, "Zhang Song, what do you mean?" ”
"The old general is angry!" Clenched his fists and arched towards Yan Yan, Zhang Song's face was full of smiles, first accompanied him, and then turned his head to Liu Zhang and said, "Lord! The Qin army entered Bashu and did not attack the city all the way, but what the old general said was not bad, although the Qin army did not attack the city, but they were not sure that they did not covet Chengdu. The lord can send a messenger to inquire about it first, and then make a plan! ”
After listening to Zhang Song's words, Liu Zhang nodded and said: "What Ziqiao said is true, if you rashly fight with the Qin army, our army has no chance of winning!" Why don't you go and find out first! ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward and asked Zhang Song, "I don't know who is the most appropriate to go?" ”
Bowing his head and groaning for a while, Zhang Song said, "A certain wish to go!" ”
"Good!" Zheng was worried that he couldn't find a suitable person to go to investigate Qin Jun's intentions, and when he heard that Zhang Song was willing to go, Liu Zhang stroked his palms and said with a smile: "Ziqiao is willing to go, and he will definitely be able to find out Qin Jun's intentions." Early tomorrow morning, Ziqiao will be on the road! ”
"No!" With a fist and bowing in response, Zhang Song retreated.
Looking at Zhang Song, Yan Yan frowned, and there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Zhang Song has always been under Liu Zhang's command, and he has always had too many outstanding appearances, and among the officials, he is just an ordinary talent.
In the past, whenever he encountered something, Zhang Song would retreat backwards, for fear that it would fall on his head.
This would be the initiative to ask Ying, willing to go to the Qin army to explore the intentions, which is really a bit strange.
There were doubts in his heart, and Yan Yan couldn't say it in person, so he had to sit down, but his eyes always stayed on Zhang Song's body.
Finding that Yan Yan had been staring at him, Zhang Song pretended to sit back calmly, picked up the teacup on the low table in front of him, and took a sip of tea.
Zhang Song was willing to go to the Qin army to find out the truth, and Liu Zhang, who was relieved, was in a much better mood than before, and told everyone about the things that needed to be dealt with in Bashu recently, and let everyone disperse.
Leaving the Thorn Mansion, Zhang Song did not delay for a moment and rushed back to his mansion.
Back in the house, as soon as Zhang Song entered the door, he said to the general guarding the door: "If someone comes to look for someone, report it immediately!" ”
"No!" In response, the family general strode to the door, stood outside the door, and lifted the door for Zhang Song.
Glancing at the back of the general, Zhang Song hurriedly walked into the backyard and walked all the way to a wing room in the backyard.
When he arrived at the door of the wing, he knocked lightly.
The sound of his knock was three long and two short, and when the last knock stopped, the door opened from the inside.
A person's head protruded from the crack in the open door, and the person glanced to the sides before asking Zhang Song, "How?" ”
"Let's talk inside!" It was none other than Fa Zheng, who had already met Zhuge before, Zhang Song waved his hand at him, said a word in a low voice, and stepped into the house.
"That Yan Yan seems to have some suspicions about so-and-so!" Entering the house, Zhang Song lowered his voice and asked Fa Zheng, "Can Xiaozhi discuss with the commander of the Qin army?" ”
"I said it, but I don't know what the Qin army master will do!" Shaking his head, Fa Zheng said very annoyingly: "A certain person wants to give Bashu to the King of Qin, but he doesn't know that the King of Qin is willing to take this place without blood!" ”
"The Qin army came to Yizhou in order to capture Bashu and then look east." Glancing at the door that had been closed, Zhang Song said to Fa Zheng: "If Qin Jun doesn't believe in filial piety, it's also that we are too anxious. Fortunately, tomorrow I will go to meet with the main general of the Qin army, and there will still be some rhetoric at that time! ”
"Fang Caizi Qiao said that Yan Yan ......" Knowing that Zhang Song was also going to see the chief general of the Qin army, Fa Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly remembered Yan Yan, and asked Zhang Song: "What should I do?" ”
"Yan Yan is a veteran of Yizhou!" When it came to Yan Yan, Zhang Song was obviously a little jealous, and his brows furrowed slightly: "If he gets in the way and fights with the Qin army, it will be unavoidable!" Xiaozhi can go to Yan Yan's Mansion tomorrow, and he said that he knew that he had colluded with the Qin army, intending to hoard soldiers and horses in the Yinchanggou area, and suddenly attacked Chengdu! ”
As soon as Zhang Song's words came out, Fa Zheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "If Yan Yan really leads the troops there, what should I do?" ”
"A certain will persuade the chief general of the Qin army to set up an ambush in Yinchanggou, and capture Yan Yan, and then make a plan!" With frowning brows, Zhang Song pondered for a moment before he said to Fa Zheng: "If you want Yan Yan to be convinced, you must tell half-truths and half-truths, and filial piety knows how to do it!" ”
Nodding his head, Fa Zheng didn't say anything more, his brows were tightly twisted, and he looked at the door.
Liu Zhang, Yizhou, is also a relative of the Han family, but if it is about blood, it is a little farther away.
If Liu Wei ordered Liu Zhang to send troops to assist in the crusade against Jiangdong, Liu Zhang would not dare to refuse.
The Qin army entered Bashu just to include the entire Bashu in the territory, and as for Liu Zhang, even if he can still live in the future, he is just an idle Han clan relative.
The dispatch of troops to Bashu is enough to prove how strong the king of Qin is to concentrate power in one hand.
If he can catch the line of King Qin, he and Zhang Song's fame in the future will definitely be not shallow.
Although Liu Wei was able to instruct Liu Zhang to send troops, it was impossible for Liu Zhang to give up his ancestral business, and once the Qin army showed its intention to seize Bashu, war was inevitable!
What he and Zhang Song had to do was to assist the Qin army and capture Yizhou without blood.
Liu Zhang sat in Yizhou, although he has had no major faults for many years, but he has not made any achievements.
In addition to the occasional one or two not fierce battles with the Nanban, Zhang Song also advised Liu Zhang to send troops to the Central Plains, taking advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie in the world.
But Liu Zhang has never had any ambitions, and although Zhang Song and others tried hard to persuade each other, he was never moved.
The general situation in the world is complicated, and it is a corner of peace, and sooner or later it will be destroyed by people.
Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and some of their acquaintances all have the same consciousness, but it's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't appreciate it and just wants to be a free assassin.
Especially Fa Zheng, although he is erudite, he is not reused by Liu Zhang, but he was only arranged to be a county commander in Xindu.
It is difficult to display the ambition in the chest, and Fa Zheng wants to be more urgent than Zhang Song and others, hoping that someone will replace Liu Zhang and be the master of Yizhou!
Although Liu Zhang's command is said to be some fierce generals and wise men, Yizhou soldiers and horses are also nearly 100,000 people.
But the Yizhou soldiers have not fought all the year round, and the generals and advisers have not been baptized by war, and Fa Zheng knows that once a war occurs, in front of the powerful Qin army, the Yizhou army will be defeated, but it is just a matter of time.
Being able to give up this place before the Qin army broke through Yizhou may be a good thing for the Yizhou army and civilians!
Seeing that Fa Zheng turned his head to look at the door and stopped talking, Zhang Song stood up, walked towards the door, and when he opened the door, he said to Fa Zheng: "Xiaozhi will rest here tonight, and tomorrow a certain person will leave Chengdu and go to meet Yan Yan again!" ”
Zhang Song showed his intention to leave, and Fa Zheng also stood up, clasped his fists and arched at him and said, "Ziqiao, don't worry, this matter will be done!" ”
Fa Zheng and Zhang Song conspired to give Yizhou to the Qin army, and Yan Yan returned to the general's mansion, but he always seemed to have a pimple in his heart.
At the time of the court discussion, Zhang Song's expression was really a little strange, at least Yan Yan had never seen him take the initiative to do things.
Sitting in the flower pavilion in the back garden, Yan Yan pinched his chin, frowned and looked pensive, and a crisp voice sounded in his ears: "Father has been frowning since he went to see the lord before, and he doesn't know if there are troubles?" ”
Hearing the voice, Yan Yan knew that it was his youngest daughter Yan Feiyan who was walking towards him.
Yan Yan is nearly sixty years old, and the youngest daughter Yan Feiyan is only twenty-eight years old, but she is a middle-aged daughter, so she cherishes it very much.
