On June 8, the 14th year of Jian'an, Li Shan, the general of the Changqi Department stationed in Danqu County, learned that Du Hao, the king of Du Yi, was looking for him to drink, so he happily went out of the city to the Du tribe.

As a result, he became a prisoner in the blink of an eye, and Danqu County was easily taken by Liu Beijun.

Micang Road goes from Bashu to two important counties in Hanzhong, one is Danqu County, the entrance of Micang Road, and the other is Hanchang County, the center of Micang Road.

Although Zhang Lu did his best, he tried to take Yizhou and become the king of Xichuan.

But he's not stupid either.

I know that my hometown in Hanzhong cannot afford to be lost.

Therefore, his younger brother Zhang Wei was ordered to sit in Hanzhong to protect the rear.

Zhang Wei's significance in Hanzhong is twofold, one is to prevent a rebellion in the rear and the seizure of his hometown. The second is to prevent people from coming from Guanzhong and plotting to seize Hanzhong.

At this time, Han Sui, Ma Chao and others occupied Guanzhong Xiliang, which might threaten Zhang Lu's territory, so Zhang Wei gave up guarding the Chencang Road and Baochuan Road leading from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and concentrated on guarding Yangping Pass.

As for Micang Dao, Zhang Lu was not worried at all. He just sent Changqi in Hanchang, with only 1,000 troops in Tangqu and 3,000 in Hanchang, a total of only 4,000 people.

There are more than 100,000 troops in the army, Zhang Lu believes that even if Liu Bei's main force all raids Hanchang, it will never be possible to threaten Hanzhong from Micang Road.

Therefore, after making these arrangements, he led the main force south from the Golden Bull Road and went straight to Chengdu.

In addition to his younger brother Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu also left behind the strategist Yang Song, Sima Li Xiu of the Southern Zheng Army and the general Wang Xiong, and the total number of soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong was probably less than 10,000.

Zhang Lu himself took the strategist Yan Pu, the generals Yang Bai, Yang Ren, and Yang Ang, with a total strength of about 40,000 people, to attack Chengdu and fight outside the city.

At present, Chengdu is in danger and may be able to take it at any time, even if Zhang Lu hears that Liu Bei has been stationed in Jiangzhou, he may go north from Micang Road to fight Hanzhong at any time, or go north along the Jialing River to aid Chengdu, he will not care.

After all, ninety percent of the matter has been done, and it is obviously impossible to take Chengdu and seize Yizhou because there are external enemies who choose to give up halfway.

Therefore, Zhang Lu listened to the advice of the strategist Yan Pu, and while stepping up the attack on Chengdu, he sent people to contact the people and asked them to keep an eye on Liu Beijun, and at the same time sent someone to envoy Liu Bei, hoping that the two sides could negotiate a good condition.

With these three prongs, I don't know how much effect it can have.

However, Liu Bei also knew that Zhang Lu was looking for him to negotiate peace, and once he was dragged back, Zhang Lu successfully took Xichuan, and he might not be able to fulfill the conditions negotiated at the beginning.

Therefore, Liu Bei also sent people to stabilize Zhang Lu's envoy, and at the same time, he seized the time and the main force quickly went north, took down the ditch, and pointed directly at Hanchang.

Hanchang Ju and Zhou are good friends, and Hanchang is also the territory of the people, so there is almost no suspense in the process of capturing Hanchang, under the combination of the Ju family and the people, Changqi was easily captured alive, and the city of Hanchang was quickly broken.

On June 19, in the city of Hanchang, Liu Bei arrived with difficulty.

Although it took less than two days to capture the two cities of Danqu and Hanchang. However, from Danqu to Hanchang, it took 140 kilometers to walk, but it took 11 days.

The main reason is that the only road is to walk along the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River, where the terrain is dangerous, the mountains and forests on both sides of the river are dense, only the narrow road can be passed, Cai Mao was beaten here in the past, which shows the difficulty of its passage.

However, Liu Beijun was still relatively bloated, and he sent 20,000 troops, leaving Guan Yu to sit in Jiangzhou to confuse Zhang Lu, and bring an army of 100,000 people.

This is only the vanguard troops, the troops transporting grain and grass in the rear are still on the way, even if they reach Hanchang City at this time, Liu Bei only brought more than 30,000 people, and there are many people in the rear.

In the Hanchang City Mansion, Liu Bei sat on the main seat, and below the left hand were Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals, and under the right hand were Pang Tong, Fa Zheng, Mi Zhu and other strategists.

Fa Zheng also followed.

After the Jiangzhou talks, Zhang Song could only go back first.

Because there were other people in the envoy group who were monitoring them, they couldn't blatantly follow Liu Bei, so after negotiating cooperation, they had to go to Liu Zhang as soon as possible to get their life back.

So Zhang Song used the excuse of staying Fazheng to guide Liu Beijun in Jiangzhou and returned to Chengdu by himself.

And Fa Zheng naturally did not lead Liu Bei to Chengdu for rescue, but followed Liu Bei north to the ditch, and today arrived in Hanchang.

The journey was hard, and the rush was tiring, which made everyone feel a little tired.

Du Hao said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, this rice cang road is really difficult to walk, this to Hanzhong, there are still more than 300 miles, all of them are high mountains and mountains, if the road is smooth, maybe you can go outside Hanzhong in mid-July." ”

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Mi Zhu and said, "Zizhong, how long will it take for the follow-up grain and grass to reach Hanchang?" ”

Mi Zhu said with a wry smile: "This army is more than 100,000, and it takes 20,000 or 30,000 stone to use grain and grass every day, although we have brought 5 million stone grain and grass from Jingzhou, but the ship is at most transported to the ditch, and the land route is taken from the ditch, and the people and auxiliary soldiers escort it, even if there are people to help, it can only walk ten miles a day, which is very difficult, and I am afraid that it will not be until the beginning of next month that we can mobilize more than 100,000 troops for two months of military rations." ”

Hearing his words, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that there are too many soldiers and horses, and it is not a good thing." I have been crisscrossing the north and south for many years, and each time I command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is the first time I have commanded more than 100,000 troops, but it has led to bloated troops, difficult roads, and delayed time. ”

Pang Tong also said: "Lord, this time I really underestimated the difficulty of the road, I thought that I would be able to reach Hanzhong within a month at most, but I didn't expect this Bashu land to be so precipitous, so that the military plane was delayed, and I asked the lord to punish him." ”

"That's it."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "This is not Shiyuan's fault, none of us have been to Hanzhong, and it is normal to not know that the roads here are difficult to walk." People are used to crossing mountains and mountains, and they don't find it difficult to walk. On the contrary, it was us, because there were too many baggage and weapons and equipment, which slowed down the speed of the march. ”

The road is there, and if a soldier with good physical strength does not bring weapons and equipment, it is not difficult to climb the mountains and mountains like the others.

The problem was that the Han soldiers were not as poor as the Eren people, and they had too many things to carry with them because of their weapons and equipment, as well as their heavy food and grass, which led to the slow pace of the march.

"In this way, with the current situation, it may not be until August that we can all the soldiers and horses arrive in Hanzhong out of the rice cangway."

Mi Zhu analyzed.

Liu Bei sighed: "I'm not afraid that the road is difficult, but there are many changes in Chengdu, and I am afraid that at this time, Zhang Lu will break through Chengdu and occupy the land of Yizhou, but it will be more difficult to deal with." ”

And the people were sorrowful for a while.

Wei Yan, a middle-level officer sitting in the last seat, stood up and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I am willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers, bring ten days of dry food, and make a surprise attack on Hanzhong City." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "I am very pleased that Wen Chang has this heart, but the mountain road is rugged and difficult, even if you reach Hanzhong, how can you quickly raid to the city of Hanzhong?" According to the report of Tanma, Zhang Lu had soldiers and horses in Nanzheng, Baozhong, Chenggu and other counties, and once he could not immediately break the city, he would encircle the counties, but he would startle the snakes. ”

He was actually thinking in his heart that if Shen Chen led three thousand clan soldiers, maybe there would be a chance. He had seen the training of the Yellow Gate soldiers, three meals a day with meat and constant supply, and the weight-bearing running training was from 60 miles, so that this kind of soldier could run 300 miles.

Wei Yan sat down.

At this moment, Fa Zheng also stood up with a smile and said, "Lord, in fact, General Wei's method is not impossible. ”

"Oh?"

Liu Bei was surprised: "Xiaozhi thinks he can rush to Hanzhong? But we need so many soldiers and horses to take Hanzhong. ”

Fa Zheng arched his hand and said: "I naturally know this truth, so there is a plan to take Hanzhong without bloodshed, and even make Zhang Lu lose his position before and after, and finally surrender to us." ”

"Is there a good way to be filial?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said, "Come quickly." ”

Bloated armies are a problem.

But Liu Bei couldn't solve this problem.

Because their strategy was to go north to capture Hanzhong, and then attack Chengdu from the north and south.

An army of 50,000 seems to be enough, but it is still a little stretched.

After occupying Hanzhong, in order to guard against the warlords in Guanzhong, at least garrison troops to take precautions.

To attack Zhang Lu from the north and south, the troops must at least have an advantage.

And people are familiar with the road, over the mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, if you encounter a tough battle, you can take a detour, play a miraculous effect.

What's more, even if the weapons and equipment of the people are not as good as the Han soldiers and the combat effectiveness is not high, it can suppress 100,000 horses, which is enough to deter the Zhang Lu generals left behind in Hanzhong and pressure them to surrender as soon as possible.

Therefore, the troops could not help but come.

The most important thing is to tie them to the chariot, and the minority will serve him, which will also be conducive to Liu Bei's rule in Xichuan in the future.

Therefore, the army traveled, which caused the team to move slowly.

If the Fa Zheng has a way, then it would be even better.

I saw Fa Zheng and said: "The lord can send a general to lead 5,000 soldiers, bring 20 days of grain and grass, and set off first." The rest of the follow-up soldiers and horses will move forward normally, and then Rong Zheng will take 200 catties of gold and 500 catties of silver. ”

"Take hundreds of gold and silver?"

Liu Bei wondered: "What does Xiaozhi want so much gold and silver for." ”

His gold and silver came from Jingzhou.

In history, Liu Bei captured Yizhou, entered Chengdu, and took a lot of money from Liu Zhang's treasury to reward meritorious heroes.

The "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" recorded: "Yizhou is flat, and Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Fei and Guan Yu are given 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, 50 million catties of money, 1,000 horses of Shu brocade, and the rest of the awards are different." ”

This shows the wealth of Liu Zhang's treasury.

Even Liu Zhang has so much money, not to mention Liu Biao's treasury, which is richer than Liu Zhang.

After Liu Bei got Jingzhou, in addition to Liu Biao's reliance on the grain and grass accumulated in the Nanyang Basin for many years, there were countless gold and silver money, and this time he brought a lot of gold and silver to motivate the soldiers.

However, of course, it was impossible for Liu Bei to empty the Jingzhou treasury, so he only brought 1,000 catties of gold and 2,000 catties of silver on this trip, which had already cost a lot to win over the people.

Therefore, these coins are still used in key places.

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "The lord doesn't know, that Zhang Lu has a strategist named Yang Song, who once knew me. This man is extremely greedy for money, and if he can bribe him with gold and silver, he will be able to open the gate of Nanzheng City and let us in. And Yang Song has a younger brother named Yang Bai, who is now guarding Jiameng Pass. If it can be said that Yang Song will vote, not only Hanzhong can be obtained, Zhang Lu's retreat will be lost, and the land of Yizhou will be owned by the lord. ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed and said: "I see, then there is Lao Xiaozhi in this matter." If Xichuan is successfully captured according to the plan of filial piety, filial piety should be the first credit. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Fa Zheng bowed his hand.

It's just that after these words, Pang Tong's face on the side was slightly stunned.

The strategy to capture Nishikawa was planned by him, and although there were some problems in the implementation process, there was nothing wrong with the overall general policy.

Fa Zheng only corrected the problems, but took the first credit, which really made Pang Tong a little unhappy.

However, he is actually a more introverted person and does not show it.

"Of course."

Liu Bei noticed Pang Tong's undetectable face, and said: "The whole process of this plan was formulated by Shiyuan, and it was also a lot of hard work. It's just that filial piety goes deep into the enemy's nest, which is quite dangerous, so the first credit is credited. Shiyuan is not far behind, and he should be credited. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

Pang Tong bowed, and that dissatisfaction vanished.

Because what Liu Bei said was the truth.

Although Fa Zheng is not the maker of the plan, it is the implementer.

This time I want to go to Hanzhong in person, which can be said to go deep into the tiger's den, which is very dangerous, so it is also reasonable to take the first credit.

At that moment, Liu Bei agreed to Fa Zheng's plan, and ordered Wei Yan to lead 5,000 troops, bring 20 days of grain and grass, and escort Fa Zheng to Hanzhong with gold and silver.

At the end of June, after no baggage dragged down, Wei Yan traveled very fast, forty miles a day, about three hundred miles, and finally walked out of Micang Road and arrived at Xigou after seven days.

Xigou is less than forty miles away from Nanzheng, the Hanzhong Governance Office, and it is still in the mountains and forests, Fa Zheng asked Wei Yan to hide in the mountains, personally took a few guards, dressed in disguise, and went down the mountain all the way to the north at night, in the direction of Nanzheng.

After walking more than ten miles at night, I finally arrived at the Hanzhong Plain and arrived at the Nanzheng District of Hanzhong City in later generations.

Nanzheng District was not the Nanzheng County of the Han Dynasty, the location of Nanzheng County in the Han Dynasty was actually in the urban area of Hanzhong City in the later generations, located in the north of the Han River. Therefore, this place is the township pavilion below Nanzheng County.

Along the Xiangting Road, thousands of miles of fertile fields, villages are lined up, walking between the roads, except for the occasional dog barking, everywhere reveals calm.

There is no army stationed and there is no checkpoint interception, and the entire Nanzheng County is like any war-filled village in the Han Dynasty, and the people live a life without fighting with the world.

This is because Zhang Wei did not expect that an army would suddenly run to Hanzhong, so he was completely unvigilant.

It's not that he's stupid, it's that the idea is normal.

After all, the road leading to Guanzhong in the north is garrisoned by troops, and the Jinniu Road in the south is the road for Zhang Lu to send troops to Chengdu, and it is impossible for the enemy to come. As for Micang Road and Bashu Road, there are people to help take care of them, so naturally they would not have thought that Liu Beijun had already arrived in Hanchang.

Therefore, the whole Hanzhong is in an extremely lax situation, what Hanzhong looks like in normal times, and what it is still like now.

Fa Zheng was very satisfied with this situation, so he hurried at night, and when it was close to dawn, he arrived at the Han River ferry. Although he didn't sleep all night, he was full of energy, crossed the river by boat, and arrived outside Nanzheng City.

At this time, it was the end of the morning food time, and the south gate had already been opened, and farmers selling firewood, hawkers doing business, people buying daily necessities, and eunuchs going out of the city to play came and went. The soldiers at the gate of the city stood lazily and did not search for passers-by, yawning and leaning against the city wall to pretend to sleep.

Seeing Hanzhong's defenseless appearance, Fa Zheng nodded slightly, all of which was expected by him.

Liu Bei persuaded the people to defect, and secretly seized the ditch and Hanchang, and blocked the news, not to mention that not a single fly could not fly out of Hanchang, and even if it flew out, it would not be delivered so quickly.

A few people entered the city, Hanzhong was very prosperous, at least before Cao Cao moved the people of Hanzhong, the population of Nanzheng had exceeded 100,000, according to historical records, the registered population of the entire Hanzhong County at that time was 100,000 households, and the total population was about 450,000.

Therefore, Nanzheng City is very prosperous, and all kinds of people with Guanzhong, Bashu, Xiliang and even Jingzhou accents shuttle during the period.

"Cookcakes, freshly made cookcakes."

"Pu Tao, the Pu Tao of the Western Regions, the delicious Pu Tao."

"Let's have some crescent wontons."

The streets and alleys, the business is developed, Hanzhong is connected to Guanzhong in the north, Bashu in the south, Longyou in the west, and Nanyang in the east.

Therefore, just like Jiangzhou, it has become a north-south trade distribution center, bringing together people from all over the world.

Although there were endless wars in Guanzhong over the years, Hanzhong was still relatively stable under Zhang Lu's rule, so a large number of Guanzhong refugees fled to Hanzhong, which also brought cultural and economic exchanges to the place.

Fa Zheng and his entourage did not stop, and found Yang Song's main book mansion all the way.

In fact, he has no friendship with Yang Song, but his grandfather is a famous man in Guanzhong, and his home is in Fufeng Yi County, which is very close to Hanzhong.

So the two sides can't talk about friends.

But because of this, Fa Zheng also knew that Yang Song was extremely greedy for money at that time, so he had a countermeasure.

At this moment, outside Yang Song's mansion, Fa Zheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the servant of the Yang family opened the door and inquired about the situation, Fa Zheng handed over the letter of worship and answered the visit of the deceased, and the servant went back to report to Yang Song.

Yang Song was reading some documents in the mansion at this time, and the servant went to the middle hall to report: "Master, there is a visitor from outside the door." ”

"Who is it?"

Yang Song asked without raising his head.

The servant carefully handed over the prayer note and said, "He said that his name is Fazheng, and his character is filial piety. ”

"Fazheng?"

Yang Song didn't even bother to look at the post, and said, "I haven't heard of it, so I say I'm not there." ”

"Yes."

And the slave prepared to depart.

Yang Song put down the official document in his hand, glanced at the side of the post, flipped through it casually, suddenly frowned, and said, "Slow." ”

"Master."

The slave respectfully turned back and waited for Yang Song's order.

Yang Song stroked his beard, his eyes were slightly puzzled, he didn't understand why Fa Zheng was here.

At this moment, Zhang Wei led his troops to be stationed in Chuyang to prevent the warlords of Guanzhong from taking advantage of the emptiness of Hanzhong to seize Hanzhong.

Li Xiu is only a middle- and lower-level officer, although he is in charge of the whole city, but Yang Song's position is above him, so in fact, Yang Song has become the current supreme governor of Nanzheng County, controlling the entire Nanzheng County.

In this case, Yang Song's power is very great, and there are countless people who come to visit him every day, and when he heard that the old man Fa Zheng is visiting, he didn't remember who it was for a while, so he thought that he was another person who was clinging to the powerful, so he wanted to send it away.

But seeing that Fa Zheng reported to his family on the worship post, with the names of his grandfather Fa Zhen and his father Fa Yan, Yang Song then remembered that Fa Zheng was not the current military lieutenant under Liu Zhang?

The lieutenant under Liu Zhang's command suddenly appeared in Hanzhong, which is indeed a strange thing.

However, Yang Song thought that Fa Zheng had fled from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, and he had met him a few times, and since people had come, it was inconvenient to turn him away, so he said: "Let him come in." ”

"Yes."

And the servant went out and opened the door to Fazheng.

Yang Song looked at the back of the slave leaving, and his eyes flashed.

He wanted to see what Fa Zheng had to say to him.

After a while, Fa Zheng came in.

As soon as he entered the door, Fa Zheng arched his hand and smiled at Yang Song: "I haven't seen you for a few years, how is Yang Gong's life?" ”

"Filial piety, thank you for your concern, live well."

Yang Song laughed and said: "Since you went to Bashu, I miss it very much, come, sit down." ”

"Xie Yanggong."

Fa Zheng walked over and sat down.

He also had a heavy bag in his hand, which made a crisp sound when it was placed on the table.

When Yang Song heard this voice, his eyes suddenly straightened.

As a person who is extremely greedy for money, this sound is like a collision of gold and silver.

For a while, Yang Song's heart was surging.

However, he didn't show it too obviously, and hurriedly stroked his beard to calm down, and then asked: "I heard that Xiaozhi is now a lieutenant under Liu Yizhou, why did he come to Hanzhong again." ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Back to Yang Gong, I am here to ensure that Yang Gong is prosperous and prosperous, and at the same time, I am also here to cut off Zhang Lu's back road." ”

"Huh?"

Yang Song's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Fa Zhengdao unhappily: "What does filial piety mean?" ”

Fa Zheng said: "Does Yang Gong know about General Zuo Liu Xuande? ”

"Of course I know."

Yang Song said without hesitation: "He is in Jiangzhou at this time. ”

"Nope."

Fa Zheng smiled slightly: "He is in Hanzhong at this time. ”

"What?"

Yang Song was shocked and said, "This is impossible! ”

"Yang Gong didn't know that General Zuo had already obtained the entire Jingzhou, and he had raised an army of 100,000 to conquer Xichuan and wanted to take the southwest land. Although Zhang Lu won over the people, General Zuo was a personal seal of the imperial court, and he opened the palace with the three divisions, so he was willing to grant the people official positions, coins, grains and grass, and make them work. ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "The people are poor, Du Hao, Pu Hu, and Yuan Yue are willing to return to Shun, and they have enthusiastically more than 100,000 troops for a while, and now they have captured Hanchang in the ditch, and the troops have entered Hanzhong, and they can reach the city of Nanzheng in a few days." I also have some friendship with Yang Gong, and I know that if the army arrives, Yang Gong may not be spared, so I volunteer to General Zuo to persuade Yang Gong. ”

"This"

Yang Song hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether what Fa Zheng said was true or false.

Seeing his hesitation, Fa Zheng knew what he was thinking, so he said: "If Yang Gong doesn't believe it, he can send someone to rush to Xigou with my entourage, Xigou is currently stationed with 5,000 vanguards of General Zuo's troops, and more than 100,000 troops in the rear are on the road, and it is only a few days away from Nanzheng." ”

Yang Song pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you immediately and then send troops to block Micang Road?" ”

Fa Zheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "Yang Gong knows the importance of Xigou, out of Xigou, Hanzhong is a horse and a flat river, and there is no danger to defend." General Zuo's troops are all elite, and they are defended according to favorable terrain, even if Yang Gong mobilizes soldiers and horses from all over the Han Dynasty, he cannot break through. Once it is delayed for a few days, General Zuo's more than 100,000 troops will arrive, and this Hanzhong will not be able to hold it, and Yang Gong will be afraid at that time."

Yang Song's face changed drastically.

Because what Fa Zheng says is the truth.

The entrance and exit of Micang Road is in Xigou, and from Xigou, it is the Hanzhong Plain of Pingchuan.

Liu Bei's army is stationed here, if Yang Song can't completely wipe out Wei Yanbu, when Liu Bei's main force arrives, and more than 100,000 troops continue to pour into Hanzhong, then he will be completely finished.

After all, Chengdu is thousands of miles away from Hanzhong, and Yang Song can't expect Zhang Lu, who is currently in Chengdu, to come back quickly, it's impossible.

Therefore, as long as the West Ditch is occupied, Fazheng will have no fear.

Seeing that Yang Song's face was ugly, Fa Zheng didn't speak for a long time, so he untied the burden on the table, revealing the gold inside, and said: "Yang Gong, General Zuo has always been kind to those who submit to him. The seven surnamed Yi Wang led an army of 100,000 people to surrender, and General Zuo gave Du Hao as the Brazilian Taishou and Pu Hu as the Padang Taishou. There are thousands of catties of gold and silver alone, five baht is hundreds of millions, here is fifty catties of gold, another one hundred and fifty catties of gold, five hundred catties of silver, because it is inconvenient to carry, temporarily placed in Xigou, if Yang Gong is willing to submit, not only the position of the Hanzhong Taishou, but also these gold and silver"

When Yang Song saw the gold on the table, he suddenly breathed quickly and his eyes lit up.

One pound in the Eastern Han Dynasty is about 223 grams.

Fifty catties of gold is actually about 11 kilograms.

Not to mention this money in the Han Dynasty, even in later generations, it was an astronomical amount, worth millions.

Not to mention that this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are another 150 catties of gold and 500 catties of silver, which makes Yang Song, who has always been greedy for money, almost not excited.

"The matter. The matter"

Yang Song gasped and looked at the heavy gold on the table, not knowing what to say.

Fa Zheng held the gold in both hands, walked to Yang Song's table with a smile, and said: "This matter is very easy for Yang Gong, Yang Gong thinks about it, even if Yang Gong refuses, General Zuo's more than 100,000 troops to Hanzhong is nothing more than to attack the city, capture Nanzheng, and use General Zuo's soldiers and horses, if the west takes Yangping Pass, and then garrisons Dingjun Mountain, blocks Zhang Lu's road back to Hanzhong, and slowly besieges Hanzhong, how long does Yang Gong think Hanzhong can last?" ”

"Amount"

Yang Song couldn't help but want to touch the gold with both hands.

Fa Zheng pushed the gold in front of Yang Song and said: "Yang Gong thinks about it again, no matter whether Hanzhong is defended or surrendered, Zhang Lu will inevitably be destroyed, and it is worth it to die for a person who is about to be defeated?" If Yang Gong submits to General Zuo, and then persuades Yang Gong's younger brother General Yang to surrender, it will not only be a great achievement, but also will be reused by General Zuo, which is the best choice. ”

"The words of filial piety are very reasonable."

Yang Song stroked the gold, as if he saw a long-lost relative, and said excitedly: "Welcoming General Zuo into Hanzhong is exactly what I want, and this matter will be done according to the will of filial piety." We agreed on a time, and when General Zuo's army arrived outside Nanzheng City, I would open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city. ”

Fa Zheng showed a bright smile on his face, wrapped his hands in his sleeves, took two steps back, and then respectfully bent down and said, "Yang Gong is wise!" ”

I really like Fazheng, hahaha, because I found that his character is the same as the protagonist of my previous book, Chen Duan, who is both insidious and cunning, and I like it.

(End of chapter)
