Jia Xu didn't understand Dong Zhuo's self-deprecation, but he agreed with Dong Zhuo's words in his heart. The latest free chapters of the book can be found here.

For a long time, Dong Zhuo has never looked at the people of Yizhou, not only that the real talents in Yizhou are either unsuccessful or inferior, but more importantly, Dong Zhuo has never put Liu Yan's sons in his eyes, but now, it is these people who are not looked down on by him who really taught him a lesson.

Zitong was broken, and after Liu Mao fled back in a hurry day and night, the news was brought into Chengdu.

As the land of abundance, although Chengdu is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the road is almost a flat river, not to mention the foot, even the cavalry passage is no longer a problem, and Zitong is the last barrier of Chengdu to the north.

Zitong is lost, which means that Dong Zhuo's army can come to the city at any time, and Liu Fan, Liu Zhang and others who learned the news were immediately frightened.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo led the troops into Sichuan, what he wanted was just a dangerous place in Yizhou that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could be an excellent barrier for the Yongliang land...... In the lobby of ......, everyone was summoned by Liu Zhang to come one after another, and in a short time, the huge room was almost full.

Liu Fan has no intention of Yizhou Mu, because there is no one in Chengdu to work, Liu Zhang's relationship with the family is acceptable, after his succession, the people of the family are even more vying to serve, speaking this person, is one of the families who serve him, but now, under the complicated gaze of everyone, his face began to become more and more embarrassed, and his voice was cowardly, so that he finally disappeared silently.

Although the following words are not finished, the meaning is almost clear.

It stands to reason that almost all of the people who can be summoned are Liu Zhang's henchmen, and at this time, even if there is nothing to be done about the upcoming Dong Zhuojun offensive, they should not say such things, but now, this kind of thing just happened, and when Liu Zhang just threw out the news, I have to say that Liu Zhang is too sad.

In fact, in this situation, Liu Zhang's incompetence cannot be blamed, the people of the family were originally seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and it was good for them to vote under Liu Zhang, but when this kind of investment endangered the survival of the family, they would abandon Liu Zhang without hesitation, as they are now.

The big family, they chase fame and fortune well, but the most important thing is in the inheritance of the family, don't say just surrender, even if it is in exchange for the continuation of the family with their deaths, they will choose to do it without hesitation, it can only be said that at the beginning when Liu Zhang tied all his hopes to the family, sooner or later, he may face this betrayal.

Not to mention that when Liu Bei entered Sichuan, the family welcomed each other, that is, the Sun family divided the world for many years, and when facing the approach of Cao Cao's army, the first choice of the people of the family was to persuade Sun Quan to surrender, and the people of the family sought advantages and avoided disadvantages.

Of course, not all people in the family are like this, but at this time in Yizhou, a Liu Zhang, who has just ascended the throne, cannot let the people of the family swear to the death.

"Such a statement, his heart can be punished! Please give the lord an order to kill Li Yi. Above the lobby, suddenly a person stood up, bowed to Liu Zhang, turned his head and glared at Li Yi angrily and shouted.

"Boom!" This man's words were like throwing a boulder into a tranquil lake, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

"Ren An, don't rely on being a celebrity to insult me like this, deceive people too much, don't you think my sword is unfavorable?" When the case was taken, Li Yi's face was furious, Ren An's words were simply slapping him in the face, and what was even more odious was that when such a person was panicked, if Liu Zhang really picked a fire to kill himself, then he would die too unjustly.

Since Ren An dared to come forward, he would naturally not be afraid of him, and immediately turned around, his eyes were round, no one thought that this old man, who was already in his sixties, would suddenly erupt in Yizhou in the face of such a predicament: "There are still Jinzhu on the side of Chengdu, how can you say that the barrier of Chengdu has been lost?" Chengdu City has thick walls, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the army from all over Yizhou has arrived, not to mention that Dong Thief only has tens of thousands of soldiers, that is, hundreds of thousands, if you want to capture Chengdu, you can break his teeth. Before the war was fought, you were already so slack, shouldn't such a person be killed? ”

Historically, Ren An originally abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown in disappointment after Liu Yan's death, seeing that Liu Zhang could not succeed, but now, Liu Yan died unexpectedly ahead of schedule, and Liu Zhang had just ascended the throne, so he had the scene in front of him. And Li Yi, who was originally Zhao Wei's subordinate general, the current head of the Li family in the Yizhou family, when Zhao Wei was there, Li Yi was inclined to Liu Zhang, and after Zhao Wei's death, he rightly threw himself by Liu Zhang's side.

However, as I said before, the people of the family seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and this Li Yi is among them. When Chengdu was chaotic before, Li Yi secretly expressed his loyalty because he was optimistic about Liu Zhang, but now Dong Zhuo is powerful, and the first thing Li Yi thought of was to switch to Dong Zhuo, and his human nature can be seen in general.

Ren An's words suddenly reminded everyone who was in a panic: "Yes, although Zitong is lost, Jinzhu is still there!" ”

"Guys, do you have a good plan for me?" Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between Li Yi and Ren An was getting stronger and stronger, Liu Mao immediately diverted the topic.

Li Yi snorted and sat down angrily, and when Ren An saw it, he also snorted and twisted his head to the side. In the room, people from the family accounted for the majority, in fact, many people agreed with Li Yi's proposal, but after glancing at Ren An, who was angry in the position, many people simply kept silent, not everyone had military power in their hands like Li Yi and was not afraid of Ren An's reputation.

"The last general wishes to petition for strict adherence to Jinzhu!" Just when everyone was silent, Pang Le suddenly got up and bowed to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted, "Good ......"

"My lord." Beside him, a voice suddenly came out, stifling Liu Zhang's words later.

"Does Zheng have a good plan to teach me?" As soon as the words were opened, he was interrupted, even if he was as good-tempered as Liu Zhang, he couldn't help but be slightly angry in his heart, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly questioned him.

"Don't dare, Du is a mediocre person, how can he be worthy of the lord's words, but although Dong Thief is powerful, he is not invincible, and he is not talented, and there is a way to retreat his army." As in history, Zheng Du was promoted as soon as Liu Zhang, originally, he was a staff member under Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang first ascended to a high position, and naturally promoted his confidants, Zheng Du was immediately promoted.

"Oh? Come on! Liu Zhang's questioning was actually just a kind of reflex complaint, and he didn't expect anything, but what surprised him was that this person who rarely spoke on weekdays was surprised by what he said at this time, and he couldn't help but say eagerly.

"Don't be ashamed!" Next to him, Li Yi was also shocked when he heard it, but it was random, and his surprise turned into disdain, Dong Zhuo's tens of thousands of troops have almost swept the entire Shu Road, and its soldiers are so prosperous that Liu Yan's old department, which was originally the most elite in Sichuan, can't stop it for a moment, let alone just now these unfashionable soldiers in their hands, how can they keep Dong Zhuo out of Chengdu?

In terms of terrain, Zitong is more dangerous than Chengdu, and in terms of soldiers, the soldiers in Zitong City before were more elite than the soldiers in Chengdu City today, but even so, Zitong didn't even last a day after Dong Zhuo's army arrived, how long can Chengdu endure?

In fact, it wasn't just Li Yi who was thinking like this, almost two-thirds of the people in the room were thinking about it this way, and they didn't pay much attention to Zheng Du's words.

As the so-called Tao is not the same, for these people, Zheng Du didn't bother to pay attention to them, and looked at Liu Zhang, who was anxious, Zheng Du said slowly: "Although Dong thieves attacked the city and seized the land, there were only 350,000 soldiers and horses, and the land from Shu Road to Hanzhong, the lord did not arrange many manpower before, and it is reasonable to be subordinated." ”

After a slight pause, seeing that Liu Zhang was listening intently to his statement, Zheng Du continued: "Looking at what he did in Luoyang in the past, what Dong thief is trying to do now, but it is just money, food, and population, and the Shu Road is difficult to walk, which is not conducive to the march of the army, even if it breaks through Chengdu, the time spent in Yizhou will not be too long, Yizhou is just a chicken rib for him, the lord only needs to avoid its edge, and when its main force retreats, the land of Yizhou will naturally let the lord gallop." ”

I have to say that Zheng Du's words also have some truth, but there is one point, but he underestimated Dong Zhuo's ambition.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, it has been several years, the war in various parts of the world has continued, and the disasters have never stopped, but Yizhou has suffered almost no losses because of the advantage of Shu Road, Yizhou is rich, and the world knows it, no wonder Zheng Du has this guess.

"This ......" Liu Zhang was silent, he hadn't thought about this thought at all, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Zitong has been lost, Mianyang has been undefendable, the lord can send someone to Mianyang to temporarily guard to delay time, and then send someone to Brazil, the granary wheat and grain are all burned, and then drive the people Hanzhong, Zitong, Chengdu here, the lord can act by the same means, Dong thief soldiers and horses are not many, grain and grass will not be full, so it can delay the speed of its march, and when Chengdu Brazil and other places become a scorched earth, there is no more available land, which is originally a piece of chicken ribs for Dong Zhuo, Yizhou will no longer have value, ten days, Dong thief will retreat."

Zheng Du's strategy is really a bit ruthless, Liu Zhang just heard it, and he didn't want to adopt it as in history, but in Chengdu, Liu Zhang is not the only one who can call the shots.

And at this moment, just when Liu Zhang hesitated and was about to refuse, Liu Fan, who had not spoken from the beginning, suddenly opened his mouth and responded to the matter: "This big second can be used to get rid of Dong Thief." ”
