Fa Zheng's expression was solemn, and he said: "Lord, it's just that there is still a problem. ”

"What's the problem?"

Liu Zhang opened his mouth to ask, and he felt that Fa Zheng was a great loyal minister, so his opinion was pleasing to the eye.

Fa Zheng said: "The lord took the army to the front line to resist, naturally focusing on defense and keeping Liu Xiu's army out of the 'door'. But the lord is no longer in Chengdu, and he still needs a reassuring person to stay in Chengdu. Otherwise, after the lord went to the front, there would be no one to sit in the rear, and it would be easy to make 'chaos'. After all, if the lord can't resist on the front line, he has to retreat to defend. ”

"Yes!"

A glint flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, and his face was very agreeable.

The front needs to be resisted, and the rear needs to be stable.

Liu Zhang's eyes fell on Fa Zheng at once, and as far as the people under his command were concerned, Fa Zheng was absolutely reliable. Liu Zhang didn't think about it, and said: "Fazheng, this official will leave you to guard Chengdu." ”

Fa Zheng seemed to be quite surprised, and said, "My lord, my humble position has always been by your side!"

Liu Zhang said: "It's okay, you don't have to go this time." After all, this official did not go to the front line to fight, but mainly to resist Liu Xiu. The official does not seek merit but seeks no fault, so you don't have to worry. ”

Fa Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, the humble post will be ordered." It's just a lowly position to stay alone, or it's not appropriate. It's better to let Zhang Song stay. If he thinks that the suggestion of humiliation is inappropriate, he will supervise it. It is expected that if he does this, Zhang Song will not suspect his humble position. ”

After Liu Zhang heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Filial piety, you are really a sincere gentleman!"

Fa Zheng said: "If you are promoted by your ancestors, and you are rewarded by the Lord, it is difficult to repay your kindness when you die. Everything that is done in a lowly position is for the sake of the lord. ”

"Good!

Liu Zhang's face was full of smiles, full of appreciation.

It would be a great thing if everyone under his command was like Fa Zheng.

Liu Zhang's gaze fell on Zhang Song, and said, "Ziqiao, you will stay and assist Fa Zheng in dealing with the affairs of Chengdu." ”

"No!"

Zhang Song glanced at Fa Zheng and said, "My lord, I will definitely assist Fa Zheng." ”

Liu Zhang looked at Liu Ba again, thought for a while and said, "Liu Ba, you also stay, and assist Fa Zheng to deal with the government affairs of Chengdu." This officer led the army to resist Liu Xiu, and only the generals in the army were enough. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Ba nodded in response.

For this battle, Liu Ba can not go to the front line, that is naturally the best thing. Go to the front line to fight, in case of war, it is not worth dying inside.

Liu Zhang waved his hand, asked everyone to retreat, and then summoned the generals in the army to gather.

In half a day, Liu Zhang led the army out of the city and rushed to the front line.

......

Jingzhou Army, camp.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

When Liu Xiu was reading the government affairs handed over by Wen Ping, Deng Zhan hurriedly walked in. Deng Zhan's face was full of bright smiles, he smiled slightly, and said, "Lord, good news, good news!"

"What's the good news?"

Liu Xiu was immersed in government affairs and didn't react for a while.

Deng Zhan said: "Liu Zhang sent troops, and the news from the front line that Liu Zhang used all his troops. From this point of view, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song have completed their task. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Fazheng really lived up to expectations. ”

After a pause, Liu Xiu instructed: "Please invite Wen Ping to the big tent." ”

"No!"

Deng Zhan bowed and bowed, then withdrew.

Liu Xiu sat in the camp tent with a smile on his face, Liu Zhang went to battle, and the result of this battle was decided.

After a short time, Wen Ping came to the camp.

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said, "General Wen, I got the news just now that Liu Zhang has personally led the army to battle. It's time for this battle to come to an end. ”

Wen Ping said: "Please give an order!"

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Once Liu Zhang's army arrives, immediately lead the army to advance, and then spread the news that Fa Zheng and Zhang Song have already returned to Shun, and start chasing and killing Liu Zhang." ”

"No!"

Wen Ping was also 'excited', and he went to arrange it with his fists.

......

Liu Zhang led the army to battle, and it took a day to meet Liu Xiu's army.

The two sides camped separately, and the distance was less than ten miles. Liu Zhang, no matter how far the other party camped, just ordered the soldiers to build fortifications and prepare for defense one by one.

Liu Zhang didn't think about the rest at all.

Fight?

That's it!

Resist honestly!

Liu Zhang didn't have the idea of defeating Liu Xiu, he himself was self-aware, his ability to march and fight couldn't be more ordinary, and it was impossible for him to go to war with Liu Xiu.

The big tent of the Chinese army!

Liu Zhang was sitting in the tent, reading a book.

It's just that the book Liu Zhang read is not a strategy for governing the country, nor is it a book about marching and fighting, but a book about the relationship between his uncle and sister-in-law that he took a lot of effort to find.

It's filthy and can't be described in detail.

On the contrary, it was Liu Zhang, who watched it with relish and felt that the time was easy to pass.

"Knock! knock!"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums came from outside the camp.

"Ahh

The sudden sound of war drums startled Liu Zhang, and he hurriedly put away the books in his hand, and then quickly put on his armor and walked out of the camp. At the same time, the generals in the camp also quickly gathered the soldiers.

The soldiers lined up, and Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

The reaction speed of the soldier is still quite good.

Liu Zhang's left hand was pressed on the hilt of the sword, his head was raised and his chest was raised, and he came to the 'gate' of the camp.

Looking around, I saw smoke and dust billowing on the official road, and the army was galloping quickly. Accompanied by the beating of war drums, it was a mighty and terrifying sound.

Liu Zhang saw it in his eyes and waited quietly.

After a short time, the Jingzhou army finally stopped a hundred paces away from the camp outside the city.

After the army lined up, I saw a handsome and elegant young man at the front. This young man is Liu Xiu. He was dressed in armor and led a group of soldiers in brocade guards, and rode forward.

Fifty paces from the camp, Liu Xiu stopped.

Liu Xiu's gaze fell on the camp, and he said loudly: "Liu Zhang, you actually led the army to resist in person. It's just that you can resist it? In the past years in Yufu County, the army under your command was vulnerable. Today, do you think your soldiers can resist?"

Liu Zhang didn't go out in the camp, he heard Liu Xiu's words, and said loudly: "Liu Xiu, whether you can resist or not, you naturally have to try to know." You were able to go all the way smoothly before, and it was because the official let you come to Chengdu. Hmph, I met this official today, and you stopped here. ”

Although Liu Xiu's momentum is strong, Liu Zhang can't lose his momentum.

Liu Xiu listened to Liu Zhang's answer, laughed twice, and said: "Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang, you are really good at big words, and you are not afraid of flashing your tongue in the wind." ”

Liu Zhang replied: "Liu Xiu, in order to stop you this time, this official has led 40,000 'elites' to come. Even if it's a hard-fought fight, this official is not afraid of you. ”

At this time, Liu Zhang had already brought all the soldiers under his command.

40,000 'elite' sharps are Liu Zhang's last troops.

There are very few soldiers left behind in Chengdu, and they are all old and weak who have no combat effectiveness.

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Liu Zhang, you still don't understand what this official means." How can you resist this official as a fool? Haven't you ever thought about why Fa Zheng suddenly persuaded you to bring troops to resist? Don't you doubt this?"

Rumble!

Liu Zhang's brain suddenly exploded.

In front of me, there was a blank slate.

A hint of bad premonition was bred in Liu Zhang's heart.

Don't......

Liu Zhang's mind came to mind the idea of Fa Zheng surrendering to Liu Xiu, but he instantly denied it. Liu Zhang's expression was solemn, and he said, "Liu Xiu, you don't want to 'confuse' the crowd with gossip." ”

No matter how peaceful Liu Zhang's state of mind was before, but at this time, his heart suddenly became irritable and extremely worried. What if, what if Fa Zheng surrendered?

Liu Xiu continued: "Liu Zhang, it seems that you have already come to your senses. Yes, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song have already surrendered to their own officials. The city of Chengdu behind you is already a mutiny. Now, Chengdu City belongs to this official. ”

"Impossible!"

Liu Zhang roared, and the cheeks on his face were more hideous.

He didn't believe, or even didn't want to, believe that such a thing could be true.

At this time, the generals and soldiers around Liu Zhang were shocked when they heard it. Like a plague, the news spread quickly among the soldiers.
