Liu Xiu led the army to line up outside the city, and the army was solemn.

When the officers and soldiers in the city saw this, they were all shocked, and they were glad to have obeyed the persuasion of Fa Zheng and Zhang Song.

If you don't surrender, you can't stop it.

Thankfully surrendered!

Fa Zheng glanced back at everyone, and saw a shocked look on their faces, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. When these people saw the battle outside the city, it was naturally impossible for them to have other thoughts.

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song walked to the military array, and Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "Humble and legal, welcome the lord." ”

Zhang Song said: "Humble Zhang Song, welcome the lord." ”

The two bowed, and the rest of the officials also bowed one after another.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!"

Everyone got up, and Liu Xiu said: "You judge the situation, and this official appreciates it very much. I can promise that there will be no change in your official position. ”

For some ordinary officials in Chengdu or Yizhou, Liu Xiu has no intention of adjusting.

Once adjusted, it is also easy to move.

What Liu Xiu wants to adjust is only the most important position, and grasp the important rights in his hands.

After the officials in Yizhou and even Chengdu heard this, many people's worried hearts were all put back in their stomachs, and they hurriedly complimented Liu Xiu one by one, all saying that Liu Xiu was wise and martial and something like that.

Liu Xiu ordered the army to camp outside the city, and then brought the Flying Tiger Battalion, Jinyi Guard, and Barbarian Battalion into the city. Entering the city, Liu Xiu listened to Fa Zheng and Zhang Song report the news, and then arranged them one by one.

The government affairs of the entire Yizhou and even Chengdu were quickly arranged.

Yizhou, which is 'swinging', has also begun to stabilize.

After Liu Xiu entered Chengdu, the news soon spread to the front line, and the soldiers under Liu Xun's command got the news and immediately mutinied, and the Yizhou army that bombed the camp fled in all directions, while Zhang Lu, Yan Pu, and Yang Ren led the army to pursue, easily defeated Liu Xun's army, and captured Liu Xun alive.

The relationship between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang is already like fire and water.

After capturing Liu Xun, Zhang Lu immediately beheaded Liu Xun and threw Liu Xun into the wilderness.

Then, Zhang Lu led his troops to continue to advance.

It's just that when the army advanced, Zhang Lu had already sent Yang Song to Chengdu to visit Liu Xiu and 'negotiate' the matter of the land occupied by both sides, as well as Liu Zhang's matter.

According to the original agreement, Liu Xiu captured Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang had to be released.

Then, Zhang Lu had a chance.

Now that Liu Xiu has taken control of Liu Zhang, it is time to fulfill the agreement. So Zhang Lu let Yang Song go, hoping for a good result.

Between Yang Song and Liu Xiu, they don't deal with each other.

This time, as an envoy, he was already thinking in his heart that he must put out the envoy's score.

In particular, Zhang Lu sent troops, attracting Liu Zhang's troops and allowing Liu Xiu to succeed, in some ways, Zhang Lu is Liu Xiu's benefactor, so Yang Song is even more justifiable.

Yang Song hurried all the way and arrived in Chengdu in a short time.

At this time, it is already the beginning of summer in May, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.

When Yang Song came to the outside of the governor's mansion, he walked up and ordered: "Go and inform Liu Jingzhou immediately, Yang Song, the envoy of Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong, is visiting." ”

When the 'attendant' heard that it was Zhang Lu's person, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went to spread the word.

In the study, Liu Xiu got the news of the 'attendant', and his mind turned, thinking about the purpose of Yang Song's coming.

The reason why Yang Song came should have two purposes.

First, it should be for the division of territory agreed upon at the beginning, and second, it should be for Liu Zhang.

Liu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "You go and bring Yang Song to live in the mansion, just say that I will deal with things in the military camp these days, and when I come back, I will see him as soon as possible." ”

"No!"

When the 'attendant' received the order, he immediately went down to make arrangements.

Liu Xiu ordered again: "Someone!"

Another 'attendant' walked in, and Liu Xiu instructed: "Please invite Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and Lu Su to come to the study to discuss matters." ”

"No!"

The 'attendant' went down to make arrangements.

And after Yang Song saw the 'attendant', his expression was very unhappy when he heard the words of the 'attendant'. But Liu Xiu was no longer in the mansion at all, and he had no choice but to enter the mansion under the leadership of the 'attendant', and then live in the mansion.

Not long after, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others came to the study.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to let a few people sit down, opened the 'door' and said: "Yang Song has arrived in Chengdu just now, and he came to meet him on the order of Zhang Lu." The official considered that he was first to discuss the boundary matter, and the second was about Liu Zhang. I did not meet Yang Song for the time being, but arranged for him to live in the house. I called you here to discuss how to deal with it. ”

When everyone heard this, they all fell into thought.

If it was just the established boundaries and the matter of releasing Liu Zhang that had been set before, Liu Xiu would obviously not call them all to the study to discuss.

The only explanation, Liu Xiu has deeper thoughts.

Everyone was thinking, and suddenly, Pang Tong said, "Is the lord going to do something to Zhang Lu?"

"Yes!"

Liu Xiu did not refuse, and nodded directly in approval.

Pang Tong continued: "It's just that Zhang Lu has formed an alliance with us, if we turn our faces now, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the lord." This matter also needs to be carefully considered, not only to be able to attack Zhang Lu, but also to be able to complete the reputation of the lord. ”

Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Those two are actually very simple, just take Yang Song and cut it." Yang Song came to visit this time, and the lord convicted Yang Song at will, so there was a reason. Attacking Zhang Lu is only a reason. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he bowed slightly.

Jia Xu's analysis is exactly what he wants.

For Zhang Lu, Liu Xiu could not let him become a country within a country.

Yizhou has a place in Hanzhong, so it can be regarded as a complete Hanzhong, otherwise it is not complete.

Liu Xiu said: "The problem now is that Hanzhong borders Cao Cao. Once he attacks Hanzhong, Zhang Lu may lure the wolf into the house and lure Cao 'Cao' to Hanzhong. When the time comes, it will be easy to please God and difficult to send God, and it will be difficult to drive Cao '' away. Therefore, this battle must not be too slow, and it must be able to seize Hanzhong with one blow, so that Zhang Lu has no chance to contact Cao Cao. ”

When everyone heard this, they fell into thinking again.

Xu Shu suddenly said: "My lord, if you want to attack Hanzhong, if you send troops from Chengdu, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and when we arrive in Hanzhong, I'm afraid Zhang Ludu has already found Cao 'Cao'." Therefore, the next consideration is that our First Army will immediately withdraw from Chengdu and return directly to Yufu County to station. Once we arrived in Yufu County, we divided into two routes. ”

"The first way is to cut off the connection between Hanzhong and Zhang Lu. After all, Zhang Lu also led troops to Chengdu, intending to 'negotiate' with the lord. As long as we cut off Zhang Lu's retreat, Zhang Lu will be defeated. ”

"The second way, the soldiers are close to Hanzhong. In today's Hanzhong, although there is an army to resist Cao Cao', the strength is not strong. When our army enters Hanzhong, it will surely be able to win in one battle. ”

Xu Shu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said, "In today's army, we are the only ones who are chasing after Nanjun. We withdrew so as not to arouse Zhang Lu's suspicions. And as long as we leave quietly, it will not attract the attention of the other party. ”

Liu Xiu listened to Xu Shu's suggestion, and his face had a look of interest.

For now, this is the best strategy.

Lu Su took over and said: "So during this time, not only do you have to delay time, but you also need to mobilize the army and prepare to give Zhang Lu a heavy blow." The lord could have arranged for the soldiers of the Third Army to go out on the grounds of defense. Once Zhang Lu's army arrives, we can attack Zhang Lu. At that time, we defeated Zhang Lu, and when Zhang Lu retreated, he was blocked by the First Army, and Zhang Lu was bound to be defeated. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he bowed slightly.

Xu Shu and Lu Su's suggestions are quite good.

Fa Zheng smiled and said: "Then only Yang Song's matter is left now, so the matter of convicting Yang Song will be 'handed over' to the next arrangement." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

Immediately, Liu Xiu arranged all the things, then looked at Wen Ping and asked, "Wen Ping, has the Yizhou Army that surrendered been properly organized?"

Wen Ping replied: "Back to the lord, everything is ready. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Okay!"

Immediately, Liu Xiu ordered: "Someone!"

At the sound of the order, a 'waiter' walked in and bowed.

Liu Xiu instructed: "Please invite Chen Dao, Yan Yan and Huo Jun to come to the study!"

"No!"

The 'attendant' went down to give the order, and the expressions on the faces of everyone in the study had a thoughtful look. The reason is very simple, Liu Xiu asked about the reorganized soldiers just now, and now he is calling people again, obviously to arrange official positions.
