The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Zhang Song's proposal to touch Wei Shi's bottom was in Liu Zhang's arms.

Since he became the pastor of Yizhou, the thing he likes to hear the most is that Zhang Lu has an opponent again.

"Ziqiao, you have a heart, I heard that although Wei Shi is a poor family, he is very trusted by His Majesty, not long ago, he also had to be given a word by His Majesty, you go to Fangling to find out its truth and truth, it's okay."

"If Wei Zizhong really has the ability, then it is not a good idea for Yizhou to unite with him and attack Zhang Thief in Hanzhong left and right." When he said this, Liu Zhang was overjoyed.

Zhang thief.

This is Liu Zhang's bad name for Zhang Lu.

This kind of bad luck stems from an affair by Liu Yan.

After Liu Yan became the pastor of Yizhou, he seized the Bashu Hanzhong, and there were strong opponents around him, so he was complacent for a while.

At this time, Zhang Lu's mother, Lu, took the opportunity of the Wudoumi Sect to preach and began to approach Liu Yan.

Although the woman of the Lu family is thirty years old and has given birth and raised, she is good at health, looks quite good-looking, and has an open personality, she is the kind of woman who is very amorous and very flirtatious.

Liu Yan, a high-ranking and powerful old man with a secret heart, talked about the way of gods and ghosts with the Lu family day and night, and after some in-depth explanation, Liu Yan soon regarded the Lu family as a confidant.

Yizhou Pastoral Mansion.

Later, it also became a convenient door for Zhang's mother to enter and exit.

Liu Yan has a new love, so he naturally snubs his old love.

Liu Zhang's mother died of depression because of this, Liu Yan loved Wu and Wu, although Zhang Lu was not his own son, but he was regarded as his own, and his treatment was better than Liu Mao and Liu Zhang.

Under the wind blowing in Zhang's mother's ears, Zhang Lu was on the rise, and was soon appointed by Liu Yan as the governor of Sima, and together with Zhang Xiu, the Sima of other departments, he attacked Hanzhong County and killed Hanzhong Taishou Sugu.

Subsequently, Zhang Lu gained power in Hanzhong, killed Zhang Xiu, cut off traffic, and beheaded the Han envoy, and the Liu and Zhang families had a grudge.

Hanzhong County is the place where Gaozu Liu Bang hibernated and became the king, has always been regarded as the land of Longxing, from the perspective of comprehensive strength, it has jurisdiction over as many as nine counties, and it is the second largest county in Yizhou after Shu County.

Zhang Lu, a rice thief of the Five Buckets Rice Sect, relied on his mother to sell himself, and actually occupied a good place in Hanzhong, such a strange thing is also surprising.

After Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang inherited the position of state minister, but because he could not recover Hanzhong County, he was often known as weak and bullied, which made Liu Zhang hate Zhang Lu's mother and son even more.

Soon after, Liu Zhang simply found an excuse for the chaos of the Wudoumi Sect and took the lives of the Lu family and Zhang Lu's brother.

When Zhang Lu learned that his mother and brother had been killed, he immediately ordered to block the Jiameng Pass to prevent Liu Zhang from taking advantage of the gap to attack his Hanzhong, and the two fought against each other afterwards.

The relationship between Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu is roughly like this.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhang later had a supportive attitude towards Liu Bei's entry into Shu, mainly because Liu Bei agreed to help him fight Zhang Lu.

Liu Zhang intended to test Wei Shi's strength, so he sent Zhang Song as an envoy out of Sichuan.

Because he wanted to avoid the border of the war zone in Hanzhong and Xiping, Zhang Song deliberately detoured to Ba County, and then took the waterway to Nanjun, and then to Fangling, which was a long way away, and it took nearly a month.

Before parting, Zhang Song conspired with his friend Lieutenant Military Council and Xindu County Commander Fa Zheng, and accompanied him with the Xichuan geographical map, preparing to choose another master.

——

Wei Shi didn't know at this time that his hard work in the three eastern counties would stir up the stalemate pattern between the two hostile forces of Bashu Liu Zhang and Hanzhong Zhang Lu.

Seven years of Jian'an, under October.

At the invitation of the brothers Shen Tan and Shen Yi, Zhang Lu sent the sacrificial wine Yang Ren to lead the rice soldiers eastward.

Since he only needed to go down the Han River, Yang Ren's march was very fast, and by the time Wei Shi received the scout's report, Yang Ren's army had already arrived in Xiping City.

After Xiping, it is the mediocrity.

If the two armies of Yang Ren and Shen Tan and Shen Yi were allowed to join forces, the pressure on Wei Shi would increase exponentially.

was killed by Yang Ren, the general of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Wei Shi's heart was also cold.

Since the use of the Bingfang Mausoleum, Wei Shi has had a smooth journey and has hardly encountered a strong opponent.

In the battle of Danshui, although the opponent was Huang Zhong, due to Huang Xu's reasons, this battle was finally resolved peacefully, Huang Zhong retreated and returned to Youxian, and Wei Shi went straight to Fangling City.

Compared with Huang Zhong, although Yang Ren's reputation is not as good, this person is a practical general.

According to historical records: When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, he led an army of 100,000, but was blocked by Zhang Wei and Yang Ren at Yangping Pass.

Yang Ren and the fierce general Xu Chu had a confrontation, although in the end they were defeated by Xu Chu, but they were able to retreat, and the history books described this battle, and even used "Tianzuo Great Wei, Lu Shou is self-defeating" to describe.

Considering the threat of Yang Ren and Mi Bing, Wei Shi no longer hesitated, and immediately mobilized the whole army, mobilizing follow-up new forces from Junshan, Shangluo Mountain, and Xiong'er Mountain to storm Shangyong's lonely city.

After Wei Yan received reinforcements, he led Guo Peng, Hou Yin, Wang Ping, and 4,000 elite soldiers to attack the city.

Shen Tan was besieged in the city, and the clan soldiers suffered heavy losses every day, and in panic, they urgently sent Shen Yi out of the city to ask for help.

Shen Yi went out of the city to the vicinity of the Fall Pass, and again encountered Liao Hua's interception, this time, Shen Yi's fighting spirit fell to the bottom at the beginning, as soon as the two armies came into contact, he abandoned the clan soldiers and fled.

Liao Hua took advantage of the victory to chase and kill, and went all the way up along the Han River, until he was killed until Mulan Sai, an important pass between Xiping and Shangyong, before being blocked by Yang Ren's rice soldiers.

Mulan Sai is a dangerous place in the Han River, and later Meng Da wanted to rebel against Wei and stand on his own, but was attacked by Sima Yi, and Zhuge Liang sent the Shu army to rescue, and was blocked in this place.

In the middle of the city.

Shen Tan struggled to support, thinking that Shen Yi could move to the rescue of Mi Bing.

As a result, within two days, Liao Hua escorted a large group of captured Shen clan soldiers to the city.

Facing the close clansmen one by one, Shen Tan in the city finally despaired, and after playing the banner of surrender, Shen Tan surrendered the city.

When Wei Shi learned that Shen Tan had surrendered, he was also happy in his heart.

Although the army under his command was expanded during this time, the total number was only about 10,000 people, which counted the subsequent township soldiers.

These young and strong people can transport grain and straw, but if they are damaged too much, it will inevitably cause instability in Fangling.

"Ming Gong, Shen Tan has been detained for this thief, what should I do? Yan thought that he should be killed to deter the enemy's spirit and strengthen the prestige of our army. ”

Wei Yan was wearing a heavy armor and carrying a black-patterned knife, and came to Wei Shi with a murderous spirit.

Lou Gui was beside him, and when he heard Wei Yan's words, he hurriedly advised: "The Shen family still has strength in Xiping, and the subordinates think that after their wives and children and clans are attached, they will be able to return to their hearts if they are treated with good duties." ”

When Wei Shi heard Lou Gui's words, he couldn't help frowning.

Historically, after the brothers Shen Tan and Shen Yi surrendered to Liu Bei, one was appointed as the general of Zhengbei and the Taishou of Shangyong, and the other was appointed as the general of Jianxin and the Taishou of Xicheng.

It stands to reason that the Shen brothers should be grateful to Liu Bei and will not betray easily.

But who knows, within a year, these two betrayed Liu Bei and led their subordinates to surrender to Cao Wei en masse.
