Chapter 242: Another Liba King
Zhang Wei established himself as the king in Hanchang, thinking that with Zhang Lu's prestige among the Ba people, he could divide one side according to Daba Mountain, encroach on Pang Xi, and swallow Ba County alone.
Unexpectedly, in less than January, the king of Ba, Puhu, returned defeated, not to mention the loss of Micang Road, all the Ba people withdrew, leaving only the king and the general, and he really became a loner.
The two brought a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the Hanchang garrison, barely enough to get together 5,000, not to mention that dealing with Liu Qi was not enough to fight Pang Xi.
Fortunately, it has been rainy in recent days, and Liu Qi has not been able to send troops, but the two of them are trapped in Bazhong, counting the little grain and grass left every day, and sighing for a long time.
On this day, Zhang Wei and Yang Ren discussed: "The Ba people are afraid of Liu Qi and dare not fight again, you and I stay here just to sit and wait to die, it is better to only take your cronies and flee to Nanzhong, with your and my skills, we will definitely be able to break out of the world." ”
Yang Ren wanted to avenge his brother Yang Ang, and he was unwilling: "Brothers follow you and me here, if you abandon it, I am afraid that people will spurn it, not to mention the difficult road to Nanzhong, and it is difficult to pass through Yizhou, I am afraid that I will die for a lifetime." ”
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Stay here and wait for death, go out of the city to find death, do you and I have only one way to die?" ”
Yang Ren said coldly: "Since Pu Hu, the king of Ba, doesn't listen to orders, why don't you choose another person?" ”
Zhang Wei was stunned: "The Pakistani people have suffered heavy casualties and have decided to quit, who else can they choose?" ”
Yang Ren said: "Does the king still remember what Hou Du Hao said when he came?" ”
Zhang Wei frowned and said: "Pu Hu said goodbye without saying goodbye, Du Hao just sent a few words about the scene." ”
Yang Renyan said: "I have been thinking about it for the past few days, Du Hao said that he was just acting on orders, and he couldn't help himself, the implication of his words, wouldn't he have the heart to help me, but he couldn't disobey the order of the king of Ba?" ”
"You mean......" Zhang Wei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly sighed again: "But Du Hao is only the leader of the tribe, how can the tribe with the seven surnames listen to his dispatch?" ”
Yang Ren said: "The Ba people have long been dissatisfied with the seven surnames, and I expect that Du Hao is the same, if the king crowns Du Hao as the eternal Ba king, breaks the privileges of the seven surnames, and helps him regain the land, if the ordinary Ba people can turn over, they will respond positively, and the seven surnames are not to worry." ”
Zhang Wei was moved for a while, and thought: "In this battle, the seven surnames have suffered heavy injuries, if Du Haoguo can turn over and be the king of Ba, it is not a bad policy, I am afraid that Pu Hu will hear the report and lead the people to counterattack, won't you and I suffer from the enemy?" ”
Yang Ren's face changed slightly, and he sighed: "Recently, it has been rumored in Bazhong that Pu Hu has already joined forces with Liu Qi to take the opportunity to weaken the seven surnames, and all departments have suffered heavy damage, only his son was captured and returned unharmed, I am afraid it is not groundless." ”
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said: "Pu Hu first resisted the king's order, and secretly colluded with Liu Qi, eating inside and out, I will kill him!" ”
When he was hesitating, he suddenly probed the Malay newspaper that Liu Qi ordered Zhang Fei to send troops from Jiangzhou and unite with the Brazilian defenders to take Bazhong.
Zhang Wei was shocked: "If you send troops on three routes, you and I will have no place to die!" ”
Yang Renyan said: "The two Liu jointly sent troops, and the Ba people were not spared, why not send someone to secretly contact Du Hao first, promise the position of the king of Ba, and share the land of Bazhong, and then see how Pu Hu confronts the enemy and discuss countermeasures?" ”
Du Hao also learned that Jiangzhou sent troops, and the next day he personally rushed to Hanchang, and saw Zhang Wei and said in surprise: "Why don't you see the arrival of King Ba?" ”
Zhang Wei said angrily: "King Ba has been killed by Liu Qi to the point of fear, shrinking his head to protect himself, he is useless, he said goodbye before, how dare he come to see this king again?" ”
Du Hao frowned and said: "Under the orders of King Ba, the king has the heart to resist the enemy, so he should invite King Ba to come and discuss." ”
Zhang Wei stared at Du Hao and said slowly: "If this king crowns you as the king of Yongshiba, you and I will share the land of Bazhong, what will the marquis do?" ”
"This ......" Du Hao stood up in shock, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a while but sighed: "I'm afraid that this matter will be difficult to succeed." ”
Zhang Wei sneered: "You have been oppressed by the tribe with the seven surnames for hundreds of years, are you willing to be like this for future generations?" ”
"The king's words are true!" Du Hao sighed: "The people of the Ministry of Accounts have long been dissatisfied with the Seven Surnames, but the main force of the Ba people and warriors is in the tribes of the Seven Surnames, and the people of the Ministry are just ordinary people, who dare to be angry but dare not speak. ”
"The king and I can help you!" Yang Ren saw that Du Hao was really moved, and took the opportunity to persuade: "Now that even the Han Dynasty has collapsed, and the glory of the seven surnames no longer exists, the order of the Ba people should also be changed." ”
Du Hao was moved for a while, but frowned again: "It is not a simple matter to seal the king of Liba, it is not enough for the king to help, and it also needs the approval of the witch god!" ”
Zhang Wei laughed and said: "Your Excellency, don't forget that my brother is the one who inherits the teachings of the Great Witch God, and this king is also the protector of the law, so Yuan Yue must also obey my edict." ”
Du Hao still hesitated: "Now the seven surnames are looking forward to Pu Huma, even if they set up another Ba king, they are only afraid of causing civil strife, if Pu Hu is really as rumored, he will turn to Liu Qi instead, and the main force of the Ba people will be gone, I am afraid of ......."
Yang Ren said in a deep voice: "It seems that if Pu Hu is not removed, the Ba people will never be able to fight the enemy with the king." ”
Du Hao guided for a long time, waiting for this sentence, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "If the king can get rid of Pu Hu, the seven surnamed dragons have no leader, and then there is an edict from the witch god, I have my own way to make them obey the order." ”
Zhang Wei was also dissatisfied with Pu Hu for a long time, and said: "Pu Hu said goodbye last time and defended the ditch, but now that the enemy is present, how easy is it to kill him?" ”
Du Hao said: "As far as I know, the soldiers and horses of Jiangzhou came in two ways, all the way to Langzhong, all the way to attack the ditch, the king deigned to invite him to discuss the strategy against the enemy, Puhu is difficult to support alone, and he will definitely come." ”
Zhang Wei was overjoyed and said: "As long as Pu Hu goes to Hanchang, this king will definitely call him to a different place." ”
Du Hao said: "If you kill people for no reason, I am afraid that the seven surnames will also make trouble, the king can first convict him of secretly communicating with Liu Qi and betraying the people, and he cannot distinguish between them, and then announce the responsibility to the public, the seven surnames have long been suspicious of Pu Hu, and they will obey." ”
"That's a brilliant plan!" Zhang Wei shook his fist vigorously, patted Du Hao on the shoulder and laughed: "It turns out that the marquis has already had this intention, and this king is relieved." ”
Du Hao bowed and said: "If it weren't for the king's help, I would be powerless." ”
Zhang Wei saw that Du Hao was actively plotting to kill Pu Hu, and he was determined, and the three of them discussed the secret plan at the moment, and only waited for Pu Hu to come.
On the same day, Du Hao quietly returned to Xuanhan, and Li Hu told that Yu Ban and Zhang He led the troops to take the ditch, and the army entered, but the seven surnames were suspicious of each other and refused to send troops to meet the enemy, and they were in a stalemate.
Du Wei ordered him to continue to monitor the movement of the ditch, and discussed with Wang Ping alone: "Zhang Wei asked me to go, and he was really dissatisfied with Pu Hu, and wanted to set me up as the king of Ba for his use. ”
Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Wei really fell for General Liu's plan. ”
"Not bad!" Du Hao was also excited: "Zhang Wei has set up a Hongmen banquet in Hanchang, as long as Pu Huken goes, great things can be done." ”
Wang Ping nodded and said: "Pu Hu will never go to Hanchang alone, he will definitely invite King Yu to go with him, and he can act according to the plan." ”
"General Liu has worked hard for us, even if he doesn't come to invite, we have to try to go together!"
Du Hao walked slowly to the door, looked up to the sky and let out a long breath, looked at the clouds in the distance, and muttered: "The land of Samba is finally going to change the sky." ”
