Chapter 255: Yuan Shu's Conspiracy
A fire in Fangling made the other princes put Zhao Yang in the category that must be guarded against.
Yuwen Chengdu pursued Wei Yan all the way until he met Liu Feng's reinforcements in Zigui.
The two sides fought a big battle, Wei Yan, Liu Feng and Meng Da joined forces to fight Yuwen Chengdu for dozens of rounds, and finally Yuwen Chengdu killed Meng Da before ordering to retreat.
That battle was very tragic, except for Meng Da, the generals who were directly killed by Yuwen Chengdu were as many as seventeen.
This news was transmitted back to Nanjun, which directly triggered a twelve-magnitude earthquake, and Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others frowned.
Liu Bei locked himself in his study and didn't come out for a long time.
Zhang Fei and the others were all in the courtyard, waiting very anxiously, they didn't expect that this would be the result.
This time in planning Hanzhong, their losses were not insignificant, and of the 30,000 elites that Wei Yan took away, only more than 200 people came back.
Liu Feng, the general of Zigui, led the 10,000 elites, but also lost more than 4,000 people.
Ma Liang and others got together and discussed countermeasures.
They are now losing 30,000 elites, Sun Jian in the east, and Liu Biao in the north, will definitely not give up this opportunity.
Zhuge Liang made a decision directly, and he sent Gao Shun to garrison Dangyang with 10,000 traps to guard against a sneak attack on Xiangyang.
He also ordered Huo Jun to lead 20,000 elites to Liling, plus the 8,000 soldiers of Liling, which was enough to defend against the attack of Ling Cao of Yuzhang County.
After Yuwen Chengdu returned to Fangling, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhao Yang, and he sent a fast horse to Chang'an.
After Xu Da got the news of Fang Ling, he sent additional troops to Fang Ling.
Although he smashed Liu Bei and got involved in Hanzhong's plan, he could be regarded as a mortal enemy with him.
The battle of Hanzhong, which lasted two months, captured more than 40,000 enemies, and Xu Da selected more than 18,000 of them.
With the defeat of Liu Beijun, the news of the battle of Hanzhong soon spread all over the world.
Yuan Shu was the first to get the news, he laughed in the courtyard for a long time, he was ridiculed by others before, and now someone has finally followed in the footsteps.
"Come on, go and invite Mr. Zimu, I have something important to discuss with him. Oh, by the way, remember to call Yan Junshi as well. ”
After Yuan Shu calmed down, he called the housekeeper and asked him to invite Zimu and others, and he had the idea of forming an alliance with Liu Bei in his heart.
Soon, a man in a black robe came to Yuan Shu's study, and Yan Xiang also came.
Yuan Shu directly ordered the guards to protect this place, and no one could get close to half a step without his order.
The three of them discussed inside for a long time, and no one knew the specific content, only that Yan Xiang left very solemnly, and the black-robed Zimu left slowly.
Soon after, more than a hundred soldiers escorted a carriage and hurriedly left Nanyang towards Nanjun.
After Yuan Shao of Jizhou got the news from Hanzhong, he was a little flustered, and he sent someone to call his advisers to discuss how to curb the development of Zhao Yang.
Xu You first stated that these incidents have already reflected Zhao Yang's wolf ambitions, why not gather the princes of the world and raise troops to fight against Zhao Yang.
Guo Tu, who has always been against Xu You, immediately stood up against it.
His statement is very simple, Zhao Yang pays tribute to Xuchang every year, what method do you use to go to crusade against Zhao Yang.
At first, Yuan Shao was very moved when he heard Xu You's words.
But Guo Tu's words also made Yuan Shao feel very tricky, there is no good reason, who will help you.
The princes of the eighteen towns of the year begged for Dong, but now there are not many people alive, and the rest are all scheming guys.
Of course, Xu You expected this, and he told Yuan Shao that he could write to the imperial court and sue Zhao Yang for sending troops without permission.
In this way, this thorny problem can be left to Cao Cao to worry about, and they just have to wait for news.
Guo Tu did not refute this, Yuan Shao asked Xin Ping and Xun Kan, and the two of them did not object.
Yuan Shao immediately asked Xu You to draft a draft, and he also sent Han Meng to lead an army of 30,000 to enter Jingcheng Pass to make an appearance of attacking and annexing the state.
Zhao Yang didn't know about this, and now he was receiving the envoy sent by Ma Teng.
"I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for many years, and you, Ma Mengqi, have become an envoy."
At the banquet, Zhao Yang made a joke about Ma Chao.
Ma Chao didn't care, he kept drinking there, which was rarely drunk in Wudu County.
It's just that his younger brothers, Ma Dai and Ma Xiu, are very embarrassed.
The two directly changed the topic, they asked Zhao Yang about the marriage between the two families, and as soon as these words came out, Zhao Yang was silent.
The whole banquet revealed a very uncomfortable depression.
Suddenly, Mao Xiang walked in, and Fang Xuanling and the others immediately came to their senses, and this subtle change was captured by Ma Chao.
"Lord, Hanzhong has been taken, but General Yuwen burned Liu Bei's 30,000 troops in Fangling, and killed 17 generals including Liu Bei's general Meng Da."
Mengda?
The news brought by Mao Xiang really surprised Zhao Yang.
I didn't expect that in history, Meng Da, who had betrayed Shu twice, went to get a boxed lunch so quickly.
Liu Bowen danced the feather fan, and his eyes narrowed to remind Zhao Yang that he must strengthen his defense.
Now that the news is sure to spread all over the world, it is likely that the other princes will hatch some conspiracies to curb their own development.
Zhao Yang felt very reasonable, and he asked Min Chun to give orders for comprehensive defense to the guards everywhere.
It's just that Zhao Yang's order was issued a little late.
Wuguan was very lively today, and Zhu Tong didn't know that when he woke up in the morning, there were many refugees.
He sent people to carefully investigate before letting them into Wuguan.
Zhu Tong asked them if they came from the above place, and an old man in the crowd immediately answered Zhu Tong's question.
The old man told Zhu Tong that they were from Langya, Xuzhou, and he was very surprised.
It's just that Zhu Tong didn't notice that there were some people in the crowd who looked at him, revealing some cruelty.
Now in many places in Guanzhong, there are no more vacant seats to place them.
Zhu Tong asked everyone that if they were willing to go to Liangzhou, he could arrange a vehicle to send them to Wuwei County, Liangzhou.
The victims all said they had no opinion, and Zhu Tong immediately sent people to find ten carts to send them to Xiliang.
"Hmph, it seems that Guanzhong has been very comfortable in the past few years! But now that I, Li Ru, are back, I will definitely avenge the Taishi. ”
The next day, they walked near Taiyi Mountain, and suddenly started a riot, killing ten coachmen.
The old man also took off his disguise and revealed his true colors.
It turned out to be Zimu on Yuan Shufu, and Li Ru, the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo in the past.
At that time, he offered Yuan Shu a plan to recruit some refugees from Xuzhou, and now that there is a flood in Xuzhou, the victims are easy to recruit.
He will take these victims to various places in Guanzhong, and if the opportunity is good, he will go to Chang'an.
Yuan Shu was puzzled, and Li Ru told him that the main purpose of going to Chang'an this time was to create a plague and avenge the army of Ji Ling, who died in vain.
Yuan Shu, the second and fifth boys, still doesn't know Li Ru's identity.
He thought that the other party was really helping him, so he mobilized an army of 100,000 and quietly moved to Wuguan.
The clouds of war once again shrouded Wuguan.
