Chapter 113, Liu Zhang joined forces to prepare for the defense

In the Hanzhong Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lu sat lazily in a high position.

For Liu Zhang's envoy below, he seemed to be full of care.

"Yizhou Hanzhong is really lips and teeth. If Yizhou is broken, Hanzhong will not be able to protect it. If the master is willing to save him, he should be rewarded with twenty states! ”

Huang Quan was not discouraged when he saw Zhang Lu's posture.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. As long as the price is sufficient, even the enemy can work together.

Since the last time Chengdu Fuzhong made a decision, Liu Zhang decided to fight against Liu.

I originally wanted to send Zhang Song as an envoy, but after thinking about it, I still forgot it. Who knows if Zhang Song secretly voted for Liu Bei? In the end, I could only ask Huang Quan to make a trip.

"Hehe, Liu Zhang's twenty states to allow me is a big deal."

Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are blood feuds, admittedly, this condition is quite impressive. But how can the negotiation be leaked as soon as it comes?

In fact, he understands very well that when he gets Yizhou, the next one is the land of Hanzhong. Even if there is no Huang Quan for help, he will send troops.

But he is not in a hurry, just like "besieging Wei to save Zhao" in the pre-Qin period.

Wei attacked Handan of Zhao, and Zhao asked Qi to send troops. The state of Qi was also stable for a while, and waited for both countries to be half-blooded before sending troops.

"I know what Shijun thinks, but has Shijun ever thought about one thing? Liu Beijun was brave. In the past, he defeated the army of 50,000 brothers, but in a few days, he won the three counties of northern Sichuan. ”

"There are delays from time to time, and I am afraid that the big thing will be decided! At that time, the prince and my lord will be prisoners of Liu Bei's subordinates, and it will be too late to regret! ”

Huang Quan's resourceful people, how could they not think of Zhang Lu's thoughts?

But this will not be a wave, and if Liu Bei is in the waves, he will capture Chengdu, and then turn the spearhead to the north, and Hanzhong can be safe?

Zhang Lu thought for a moment when he heard this, then looked at Yan Pu, obviously wanting to hear his advice.

"Master, what Huang Gongheng said is true!"

As Zhang Lu's confidant and strategist, Yan Pu's intelligence is approaching ninety points, so he can naturally distinguish the situation.

"I feel the grace of the lord, and there is nothing to report. He is willing to lead an army to capture Jiameng Pass, capture Liu Bei alive, and ask Liu Zhang to cut 20 states and return them to the lord. ”

After Yan Pu finished speaking, Ma Chao also came out to ask for battle.

Since Pang De surrendered to Liu Bei, Zhang Lu has been even more defensive of Ma Chao. But his brother Zhang Wei knows his ability, but he always recommends it. There are no generals available, and Zhang Lu can only pinch his nose and reluctantly admit it.

"Meng rises and retreats, I have my own plans."

To Ma Chao's surprise, Zhang Lu didn't like it when he heard it. Don't you know, I'm guarding against you? Still bouncing around.

"Retire for the time being, let me think about it for a moment or two!" Subsequently, Zhang Lu said to Huang Quan again.

To say that it is to think is to have an internal meeting. Huang Quan naturally understood, and although he was asked to leave, he was happy in his heart.

The meeting just shows that Zhang Lu is moving. It has been a great disaster in Shu for a long time, and the one who knows a person best is often his enemy.

"Alright, let's discuss it." After Huang Quan left, Zhang Lu said.

"The lord, Yizhou in Hanzhong, are all drawn by Liu Bei. In this way, Yizhou Liu Zhang will be saved, and saving him is also saving himself. ”

"Moreover, Liu Zhang is incompetent to go so far. I can't say it'......."

Yan Pu, as the mastermind, took the lead in speaking. Listening to the meaning of his words, I'm afraid I still think about the whole of Yizhou.

What twenty states and counties? Only children make choices, but adults want them all.

"What the public says is very good, and this is what I think." When Zhang Lu heard this, he didn't hide his ambitions.

"It's just a previous defeat. There are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and Yang Ang's troops stationed in Yangping cannot be moved lightly, and Cao Cao needs to be guarded against. The remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses may be insufficient. ”

Everything is easy to say, but for the issue of troops, Zhang Lu can only scratch his head.

"My lord, it's a little clear beyond the West Liangqiang. But if you ask the lord to allocate money and food, you will be able to collect tens of thousands of Qiang horses for the lord! This will Ma Chao admonished again.

Hey, some people are born with failing emotional intelligence, and they can't change it even if they experience setbacks.

When Zhang Lu heard this, he was naturally jealous. It sounds good that I pay for your soldiers, but they are all at your command, whose army is this?

"Brother, Wei thinks Meng Qi's words are feasible." Zhang Wei said as he secretly gestured with his eyes.

Brother, don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people. It's all about that, and solving the big problem is the first thing.

"Well, I'll sow 300,000 yuan of money and grain, but it's enough for Rumu Qiang to ride 30,000?"

Zhang Lu thought about it, but simply agreed. After all, the troops are now stretched thin, and one step at a time counts as one step.

But even so, it has to be said that the door is slammed to the extreme. Can 300,000 dollars be done? Recruit 30,000 Qiang riders, and let others bring their own weapons out of the horses, and want to eat fart.

"Lord, please give more than two million dollars to ......"

Ma Chao almost exploded when he heard this, 300,000 yuan? How dare you think about it? is the two million dollars I said, which is the result of counting my own fame.

"Two million dollars! No, a million dollars at most. ”

Zhang Papi said that there is no more point.

Hanzhong has been leveled for many years, and the population of a county is taxed, which is enough to cover the combination of several counties in Yizhou.

In order to promote the Goto Rice Road, a house is also set up on the road. The cost of giving food every year is a million dollars.

In the final analysis, it's not nothing, it's worried that Ma Chao will take the opportunity to become bigger.

"Whew...... Lord! ”

Ma Chao knows that millions of dollars are already the limit of what he can get, but who calls himself defeated?

Hey, nostalgic for the running on the Gobi in the past, that was my lost youth.

In the end, Zhang Lu and others agreed that Ma Chao would go to Qiangdi to recruit troops, and ten days later, he would join the troops and horses sent by Liu Zhang, and attack Jiameng Pass in the north and south.

Strive for one day to conquer the pass, two days to recover the three counties, and three days to hunt in Chengdu!

"I smiled proudly, and I smiled proudly......"

Huang Quan, who had obtained the agreement of the Zhang-Lu Alliance, suppressed his excitement, bypassed Liu Bei's occupation area from the path, and returned to Chengdu without mentioning it.

Liu Zhang could breathe a sigh of relief, but Liu Bei was about to rain and the wind was full of buildings.

At the suggestion of the military advisor Pang Tong, Liu Bei personally led an army of 40,000. Prepare to attack from the direction of Fucheng, east of Chengdu.

This trip of 40,000 troops came with victory. Under Wei Yan and Pang De, they are all fierce generals.

But they are facing Zhang Ren, known as Zhang Ren who is the first in Xichuan.

Zhang Ren raised 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu, although there were few soldiers, but they defended the city. Liu Beijun couldn't do anything about him for a while, and all the tricks were difficult to use, and there was only one way to attack.

It's the third day of the assault......

"Hey, Shiyuan, how is the loss of our army today?"

In the big tent, Liu Bei looked at the map and asked Pang Tong on the side.

After attacking the city for several days, his side did suffer a lot of losses. Zhang Ren is not much better, but Fucheng is still extremely stable.

"Today, our army has lost nearly 3,000 people, and in the past three days, it has lost nearly 10,000 people...... Pang Tong also said helplessly.

Under Zhang Ren's strict defense, Fucheng is like an iron king. This will have little effect on conspiracy and conspiracy, and can only be piled up with human lives.

"Shiyuan, now that nearly 10,000 people have been lost, how is the morale of the army?" Liu Bei thought about it and asked again.

Although there are tens of thousands of troops, more than half of them are barbarians. Although Ban Man turned against Liu Zhang, he couldn't talk about how much he cared about Liu Bei.

With such a high discount rate, I'm afraid that Banman, who has not yet been completely subdued, will have other thoughts.

"Morale is declining, but it can still be used. Zhang Ren has lost no less than 5,000 soldiers in the past few days, so the lord does not need to worry. Pang Tong comforted.

Among Zhang Ren's 20,000 people, after all, half of them were new recruits. Not long after putting down the hoe and holding the knife and gun, almost all the five thousand people consumed were recruits.

"Hey, I'm worried, not only here but also Nanzhong."
