The importance of Xichuan's geographical location is needless to say. Advance to the south from the north and obtain Sichuan, and then you can drive down the river and go straight to the southeast; Use the south against the north to ensure that Sichuan can protect the upstream and ensure the integrity of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. But in general, Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and although it is of great significance to the southeast, in the competition between the north and the south for Sichuan, the north is the majority. Often, the success of the North in Sichuan is the beginning of the fall of the South. Because Sichuan is too close to Guanzhong in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and Sichuan is relatively far away from the southeast, and the connection between Sichuan and the Three Gorges is dangerous, and the connection is fragile, it is difficult for Sichuan not to take advantage of any opportunities that arise in Sichuan.

Zhang Lang didn't know much about this, but in the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, he didn't have the capital to gain a foothold in the north, so he could only develop in the relatively stable south of the Yangtze River. Now Jiangdong is in danger of the Yangtze River, and it is inevitable to fight for Xichuan. However, it is relatively difficult for him to draw troops and horses for a while, and Liu Biao is the right way to launch Liu Bei, form an alliance, ensure the situation, and then slowly slow down.

Sichuan, known as the land of abundance, is fertile for thousands of miles, and its geographical location is so important that it has attracted the peeps of many princes, which has also caused no local person to have the ability to lead Sichuan in China's thousands of years of history. Since the Qin Dynasty, the localities that have occupied Sichuan have been divided by foreign powers. Zhang Yi entered Sichuan, Liu Bang entered Sichuan, Liu Xiu entered Sichuan and so on. Today's Liu Zhang is also a foreign regime. And at this time, Liu Bei, who was gradually emerging, also began to prepare to enter Sichuan.

In the 6th year of Jian'an, in the spring of 201 AD, Liu Bei began to enter Sichuan at the invitation of Liu Zhang, the support of Liu Biao and the suggestion of Zhuge Liang. Obviously to support Liu Zhang, but secretly it is a move to open up hegemony. In order to show his determination to fight Zhang Lu with Liu Bei, Liu Zhang deliberately earned Liu Bei 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, provided a large amount of grain and grass and military resources, and also sent Fa Zheng as a representative to greet him. You must know that at that time in Sichuan, cavalry was a very precious type of troops, which also showed Liu Zhang's determination.

Liu Bei entered Sichuan, the total strength was only 50,000, although Zhang Zhiyong, Zhuge Zhizhi, but if you want to attack, it is difficult.

The eastern Sichuan region takes Kuizhou as the gateway and focuses on Jiangzhou. Up and down the Three Gorges, both sides of the river are lofty mountains and mountains, and the Jiangzhou area of the water gathers, the Fujiang River, the Jialing River, the Qujiang River in the north converge, and then flow into the Yangtze River, and there are the Qijiang River, the Chishui River and other rivers originating from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the south. Therefore, if you want to enter Sichuan through the Three Gorges, it is quite difficult to bypass Jiangzhou, and you must forcibly take it. And Jiangzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, choking the gateway to eastern Sichuan, and there are heavy troops, imagine how easy it is?

And there is no need to say much about northern Sichuan, the danger of the Sword Pavilion is famous all over the world.

Therefore, Liu Bei is also lucky, if Liu Zhang is not too incompetent, how can he let Liu Bei into Sichuan so easily.

Liu Bei entered Sichuan, and the disputes at the end of the Han Dynasty began to slowly enter the situation of the Three Kingdoms.

=====

The Yangtze River, like a long vine, at the junction of its upper reaches and the lower reaches, hangs a huge treasure gourd that is wide in the south and narrow in the north, lying on the south bank of the Yangtze River and the north of Yuzhang, which is the famous Poyang Lake. The smoke and waves of the Yang Lake are vast, the blue waves are overwhelming, and it accepts the water of the five rivers such as the Ganjiang River, the Fu River, the Xinjiang River, the Xiushui River and the Rao River, and injects the Yangtze River into the north and flows into the sea.

This is also one of the important bases of the Jiangdong Navy Army.

In the early morning, on the official road of Yuzhang heading to Zhuyang, a team of people and horses were flying their flags and their clothes and armor were distinct. In front of the road were two twin brothers who looked very similar, both riding tall and strong horses, wearing bronze leopard-print armor, holding some steel guns, and majestic. It was followed by a large group of guards, obviously this was not an ordinary team of officers and soldiers, each soldier was imposing, tall and mighty, and imposing. At first glance, it is a battle-hardened soldier. There are thousands of people in this team.

In the middle of the long line of soldiers, there was a carriage that looked very luxurious. Escorted on the side is a big man with a length of eight feet, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, the whole person is as strong as a black iron tower, with a horizontal face, murderous, and the timid people do not dare to look at it twice. This person is Dian Wei. And the noble man in the carriage is naturally Zhang Lang.

Since Zhang Lang got the news from Huang Yueying, he couldn't wait to ask Pang Tong to come out of the mountain to help. It's just that seeing that Yang Rong is about to give birth, she can only suppress the anxiety in her heart, and send someone to send a letter to Pang Tong, saying that she will visit in person if she doesn't say it. On the other hand, take care of the affairs of Moling and wait for Yang Rong's delivery with peace of mind.

In the early spring of 201 AD, Yang Rong, who returned to the late Han Dynasty with Zhang Lang and was born and died, finally gave birth to a fetus for Zhang Lang with satisfaction. This can make Zhang Langle bad, Yang Rong is not born, she is a dragon and phoenix fetus all her life, and the two BBs are fat and fat, which is very lovely.

The people of Moling rushed to tell each other, and the whole city celebrated.

Zhang Lang stayed at home for half a month, and then he was satisfied with Zhao Yu and Dian Wei on the road.

All the way down, smooth sailing, everywhere you go, everyone bows down, and local officials, big and small, all accidentally stammer, hoping to be appreciated by Zhang Lang and promoted to make a fortune. Zhang Lang was annoyed by this. Finally got rid of Yuzhang's entanglement with Huaxin, Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked Dian Wei to drive to Zhuyang.

In the carriage, Zhang Lang leaned to the side, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The interior of the carriage is extremely luxurious, it can be described as luxurious, sandalwood wood, bedding items, and the things used are also the best utensils. The contents of this car alone are estimated to be worth that ordinary people are poor and cannot achieve in their lifetime.

Although the carriage was moving, it could sit in it without the slightest feeling of bumps. It's just that Zhao Yuxian is very bored, moving left and right. Finally, he hugged Zhang Lang's arm and shook it vigorously: "Brother Lang, you can talk to me, I'm bored to death." ”

Zhang Lang opened his eyes helplessly, and said angrily: "Xiaoyu, why can't you be quieter, I annoyed that guy Hua Xin this morning, and now I want to take the opportunity to take a nap, you are messing up again, what kind of bad luck am I going." ”

Zhao Yu pursed his lips and said sullenly: "Hua Xin, that old guy is bad, but you can't spill your anger on Xiao Yu's head." ”

Zhang Lang realized that his tone was a little too heavy just now, and he said softly: "Xiaoyu, I'm not angry with you, I just think of Hua Xin's face, and I always feel a little unhappy in my heart." ”

Zhao Yu also remembered what happened to Hua Xin in the morning, and couldn't help but be curious: "Brother Lang, Hua Xin just introduced the situation of Yuzhang to you, why are you so disgusted?" ”

Zhang Lang sneered and said: "You don't know, Hua Xin, this old guy, counted his exploits in front of me, and openly praised me for his good leadership, but secretly implied that he was talented and effective in governing Yuzhang, but he just wanted me to be promoted to his official." ”

Zhao Yu chuckled: "Hua Xin is so cunning." In that case, you can transfer him to a deserted and lonely city, and let him slowly govern it. After seeing him, do you dare to look like a mouthy starling. ”

Zhang Lang pinched Zhao Yu's nose, shook his head with a smile and said, "You are such a ghost girl, you have such a ghost idea." Although Hua Xin's people are a little happy, and they are exaggerated, but he still has some ability, you see that people have governed Yuzhang for so many years, and there has never been any big mistakes. This alone is not easy. ”

Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and said, "This is not that nor that, you can do it yourself." In the future, don't ask this girl to give you ideas. After saying that, snort lightly and don't look over.

Zhang Lang laughed twice, stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Yu in his arms, and said with a smile: "Words can't be like this, my family Xiaoyu is smart and clever, and the women don't let me shave my eyebrows, and I will help me more in the future." ”

Zhao Yu turned his anger into joy at this time, obediently leaned on Zhang Lang's arms, and said, "You will make the girl happy." ”

Zhang Lang patted her fragrant shoulder and said, "After I get to the sun, I have something for you to help me take care of." ”

Zhao Yu's spirits were lifted, and he immediately sat up, and said excitedly: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Lang said in a deep voice: "In the area of Turning Yang Lake, it is rumored that water thieves have been frequently infested recently, especially in the last few decades, they have been constantly in the evil township, and they have also burned a naval port in Turning Yang Lake. Although Hua Xin sent troops to round up, but with little effect, I want you to help me secretly investigate the source of this batch of water thieves, I suspect that this is not an ordinary water thief, it is very likely that the enemy army from outside the country pretended to be water thieves to disturb the internal peace of our army. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for such a group of water thieves to emerge overnight. ”

Zhao Yu was puzzled: "Why don't you ask the military to intervene directly in this matter?" ”

Zhang Lang took a breath and said: "It is very likely that there are thieves in the military, and every time they act, they seem to have discovered it in advance, and they are broken into pieces, hiding cleanly, and there is no trace to be found." ”

Zhao Yu said: "If it's from a foreign party, there should be no one else except Liu Biao, right?" ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and said, "This can't be determined yet, but his suspicion is the greatest." In the past, Cao Ying provoked the Jiaozhou Shijia brothers to make a rebellion, and came to support me back, I was afraid that during the battle of Guandu, I would send troops to take his nest. Now it's hard to guarantee that it's the team that Cao Ying planted in order to contain me. ”

Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoyu will definitely not let you down." ”

Zhang Lang said seriously: "It's not good for me to ask local officials to meddle in this matter, because up to now, the local army has no knowledge of their information, and if they are asked to check, it is estimated that they will not find out anything famous." Otherwise, it would have been found out a long time ago, so you don't make a public announcement of this matter, and act in secret. ”

Zhao Yu said: "Xiaoyu understands. ”

A cold light suddenly appeared in Zhang Lang's eyes and said: "If it was really Liu Biao's doing, then it would not be far from the time to open the knife on him." ”

Zhao Yu said with great interest: "That is, I haven't fought for a long time, and my hands are itchy." ”

Zhang Lang's momentum was weak and speechless.

Zhao Yu suddenly thought about it: "Brother Lang, do you think this water thief will come to attack us?" ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think about this question, but immediately replied: "If they are really under Lang Lang Qiankun, like entering a no-man's land, and come to attack us openly, then this problem is quite serious." First of all, I have 3,000 guards here, plus the 2,000 soldiers specially transferred by Hua Xin from Yuzhang, there are 5,000 men. Secondly, as the name of the water thief, but abandon the waterway and sneak attack the land infantry, unless the army is both land and water, I don't think anyone else will do this. If they do steal it, I'll bet you, it's definitely dressed up by the regular army, and there are at least a few thousand of them. How dangerous would it be to have such a team in your nest and you can't figure out their whereabouts, and they can do whatever they want?

Saying this to Zhang Lang, Zhao Yu also thought of the seriousness of the matter, and she said seriously: "Brother Lang, did you come out this time just for this matter?" ”

Zhang Lang shook his head and smiled: "No, I only learned about it in the last few days." ”

Zhao Yu said disappointedly: "Then you are really here for that Pang Tong?" ”

Zhang Lang said: "Not bad. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Moling. ”

Zhao Yu said curiously: "Is this Pang Tong really as powerful as you say?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a yearning look on his face: "It's not me who has the final say, it's everyone who has the final say." If I can get his help, my hegemony will become more solid and powerful. ”

Zhao Yu was lying in Zhang Lang's arms from the new, with a longing expression on his face: "I don't know how my brother is now?" ”

Zhang Lang naturally knew that the brother he was talking about was Zhao Yun, so he smiled comfortingly: "Okay, the good can't be better." Now that the epidemic has been controlled, the soldiers have begun to pick up, the latest battle report, Zilong has also won, and now the army is recuperating and recuperating, and it won't be long before it can approach Wuyue City. By the way, it was also said that I heard that Zilong had gone to the peach blossom luck and met a good thing about flying to Yanfu. I don't think you'll have more sisters-in-law soon. ”

Zhao Yu remembered Zhao Yun's arrogant and indifferent surname, and almost couldn't believe it: "Isn't it?" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "That Luona's girl is sick, Zilong has been running to visit her for three days, do you say there is anything strange in this." ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Xiaoyu doesn't know, but my brother will be sorry for my sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Lang said disapprerovingly: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. When he said this, Zhang Lang no longer remembered the laws of his previous world. Apparently he is fully integrated into the world.

The two chatted in the carriage without a word. When you're tired, lean in the car and rest for a while.

As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Lang ordered the soldiers to set up tents in a more favorable place to rest. Prepare to raise your spirits and go to Fanyang Lake tomorrow to visit Pang Tong.
