Chapter 72 Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lubu is guarding against Yang Pingguan

"Shizi, what General Wu said just now is very true, at this time, we must not obey the military orders of the lord and raise troops to invade Chang'an, and if we invade Chang'an at this time, we will seek our own death."

"Everything is as General Wu said, Yuan Ke is a thief who is extremely treacherous."

"This time he openly sent back the heads of Liu Fan and Liu Dan, and his sinister intentions were on the lord."

"Now that the lord is seriously ill, this is also confirmed."

"The minister has an ominous premonition, Yuan Ke is afraid that he is going to use troops against us in Yizhou."

Zhang Song preached worriedly.

He is a strategist under Liu Yan's account, quite strategic, and full of scheming.

In a word, it was concluded that Yuan Ke was going to cut down Shu.

"What? Yuan Ke wants to raise troops to attack Shu? Zhang Qing, is there any basis for what you say? I have a lot of rich people in Yizhou, and there are mountains and rivers in the danger, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in the state. ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but question Zhang Song's speculation.

He didn't believe that Yuan Ke would raise an army to attack Shu.

"Son, we would rather believe in this matter than believe in it."

"During this period of time, we have a lot of fresh faces in Chengdu, before, the minister didn't care about their origins, and now it seems that these people are afraid that they are sent by Yuan Ke."

"Perhaps, as Master Zhang said just now, Yuan Ke is afraid that this thief is really going to do something to us in Yizhou."

"For the sake of today's plan, we should order to notify Zhang Lu, the Taishou of Hanzhong County, and let them immediately send people to guard the pass to prevent Yuan Ke from invading Hanzhong, and at the same time, we should also send troops to guard the [Jianmen Pass]."

"This pass is a natural risk, and if this pass is here, we will be safe in Yizhou."

Li Yan also spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all my ministers of Yizhou's humerus, now, my father is seriously ill, Liu Zhang, I am in danger, in response to the major military events, I hope you can help me to guard Yizhou together."

Liu Zhang said.

"Shizi, we will defend Yizhou to the death."

A group of civil and military strategists immediately threatened.

"Okay, Liu Zhang has thanked you here."

Liu Zhang bowed to all the civil and military ministers present.

"The prince, the last general will ask for orders to recruit soldiers and horses in the state and county, and train soldiers, firstly, to prevent Yuan Ke from attacking, and secondly, we will train soldiers and horses in advance, and we can also find opportunities to enter Chang'an, kill Yuan Ke, and avenge the two princes and the lord."

Zhang Ren asked for help.

"General Zhang Ren, this matter is not in a hurry, now I have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yizhou, which are more than enough to deal with Yuan Ke. Recruiting people and training soldiers separately is an act of labor and money, and it is not advisable, and we must not add a burden to the people of Yizhou. ”

"This needs to be done with caution."

"Let's talk about it later!"

Liu Zhang shook his head and rejected Zhang Ren's request to recruit soldiers and horses.

β€œ......”

When the civil and military ministers of the Yizhou camp heard this, they were quite embarrassed.

They shouted: Liu Zhang is so naΓ―ve and confused.

What does it mean to add a burden to the people of Yizhou?

Soldiers, protectors of the country.

With no soldiers in hand, in the face of enemy invasion, they can only be wantonly bullied and slaughtered.

In this turbulent era of princes competing for hegemony, if Yizhou does not take advantage of the situation to work hard, be determined to innovate, train armor soldiers, and open up the territory, it will definitely be destroyed by other forces in the future.

Yuan Ke, a chaotic minister and thief, openly killed Liu Fan and Liu Dan, and angered Liu Yan, isn't it also because he is also coveting the rich Yizhou?

At this time, if they didn't recruit soldiers and horses, train soldiers, and hoard grain and grass in Yizhou as soon as possible, it would be too late when the soldiers came to the city.

β€œ......”

None of the present stood up to persuade Liu Zhang, and even Zhang Ren didn't say anything more, obviously they didn't recognize Liu Zhang, the future successor of [Yizhou].

Liu Zhang is weak, suspicious, and has no ambitions, if this person succeeds Liu Yan as the new state pastor, it will be a disaster for Yizhou.

Sooner or later, Yizhou will die.

Many people's eyes twinkled, and they didn't know what they were up to.

Da!

Da!

Da!

A middle-aged man in armor strode in from the outside.

The person who came was Zhao Wei, the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang.

This person was originally the Taicang Order of the imperial court, and later, he resigned and followed Liu Yan to serve in Yizhou, and was initially Sima under Liu Yan's account.

Now, with Liu Yan's growing power, he has been promoted to the position of Zhonglang General, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and he is also one of Liu Yan's most trusted generals.

"Zhao Wei meets the prince!"

"General Zhao Wei has worked hard."

"Sit down!"

Liu Zhang said.

"Xie Shizi!"

........

While the high-level leaders of Yizhou were discussing the strategy to deal with Yuan Ke, Di Qing, the deputy commander of the Longxiang Battalion, had personally led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to enter the territory of Hanzhong County through Chen Lundao.

This time, Yuan Ke attacked Shu and was divided into three parts: the Chinese army, the vanguard and the rear army.

Di Qing, the commander of the Chinese army, because of his special relationship, waved his army first and entered Hanzhong.

This move also caught Zhang Lu off guard.

As for Yuan Ke, the original vanguard commander, he was temporarily reduced to the Chinese army, and the rear army was led by Pang An and was responsible for escorting grain and grass.

Di Qing Shenbing Heavenly General, outside Qingshui Town, broke thousands of people of Yang An in Hanzhong, although this battle was a big victory, beheaded thousands of people, and also exposed their whereabouts, and there was a detailed report to Hanzhong on the same day.

"Report, Yuan Ke's army invaded Hanzhong, and Qingshui Town was lost!"

Hanzhong County, South Zhengcheng.

In the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Lugang received a military report from Xizuo, and he was so frightened that he immediately called his brother Zhang Wei and strategist Yang Song into the mansion to discuss the plan to resist the enemy.

"Big brother, why are you so alarmed? Isn't the sky falling? ”

As soon as he entered the yamen of the county government, Zhang Wei laughed wantonly.

He was just messing with the sixteenth concubine in Xinna, and he didn't think about it, but he was worried about the messenger sent by Zhang Lu.

"There is a detailed report that Yuan Ke, who is entrenched in Chang'an, has made a move on our Hanzhong. A few hours ago, Yuan Ke's men and horses broke through Yang An's thousands of soldiers and horses in Qingshui Town, and now they are coming to [Yangping Pass]. ”

"Tell me, how should we deal with this battle?"

"But what is the best way to retreat from the enemy?"

Zhang Lu asked.

"Big brother, there is nothing more dangerous in Han than Yangping Pass. We only need to send troops to hold the Yangping Pass, on both sides of the pass, seize the advantageous terrain, and deploy more than a dozen camps in the mountains, we can't hold out, just wait for Yuan Ke's soldiers and horses to attack the city, and then attack it with mountain stones, sassal wood, and arrows, so that it only takes a few months, so that Yuan Ke, the thief, can take the initiative to retreat due to lack of food and grass. ”

Zhang Wei offered a plan.

"Yang Song, you have always had a strategy, what do you think is going to do this?"

Zhang Lu asked.

"General Zhang Wei's plan is very clever."

Yang Song said.

"Good!"

"Everything will be done according to the strategy that Zhang Wei said."

When Zhang Lu heard this, he was happy.

After that, he sent generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren to lead an army of 50,000, with Zhang Wei as the main general, and set off immediately to aid Yangpingguan.

At the same time, it also allowed people to mobilize sufficient grain and grass to send to Yangpingguan.

After everything was settled, he sent a messenger to Chengdu to tell Liu Yan about the situation in Hanzhong and ask for support.

It is said that Zhang Wei, Yang Ang, and Yang Ren led 50,000 horses, and did not dare to slack off for a moment, so they marched from Nanzheng City to Yangping Pass in two hours.

After that, the two armies joined forces, and in half a day, they built 17 camps on both sides of [Yangping Pass] by the mountains to defend Yangping Pass.

After everything was built, Yang Ren looked at the continuous camps, and couldn't help but speak confidently: "General Zhang Wei, our army is so well prepared this time, no matter how powerful Yuan Ke is, he can't think of getting half a cent in our hands, and we should sit back and relax." ”

"What kind of bullshit Sima, he Yuan Ke is powerful in Chang'an, and it's okay, and now, he actually hit us with his idea."

"He's humiliating himself."

"If he dares to come in this battle, I, Zhang Wei, will beat him and make him go home to find his mother."

Zhang Wei couldn't help but laugh loudly.

He was a little floating.
