Chapter 327: In full swing
Time passed day by day in the bland, and in the blink of an eye, the northern region of Yizhou has spent three months in a delicate situation. www.biquge.info In the past three months, the Wudu County of the Yuan Qi Garrison, the Jiamengguan of the Taishan garrison and Zhang Lu's old nest Hanzhong, the three parties are all peaceful, with no means that the balance will be maintained like this, on the contrary, this short period of calm is a sign of the coming storm, the undercurrent has gathered into a whirlpool, as long as one party triggers this whirlpool, it will definitely cause a tsunami of life and death!
And the first to break this silence was Mount Tai. Taishan is just a guest living in Yizhou, temporarily stationed in Jiameng Pass, his old nest in Jingzhou in the south, but not Yizhou, all the military supplies of his 50,000 troops need to rely on the supply of Yuanzhang, this feeling of being pinched by the lifeline, is that no one will feel good, let alone a generation of heroes Taishan.
In the past three months, Taishan's black hand has reached into the interior of Yizhou. He didn't immediately agree to Yang Song's sky-high price of 5,000 catties of gold, after all, 5,000 catties is not 5,000 taels, and it is impossible for Taishan to come up with so much money at once, so it is better to promise Yang Song on the surface, and then use the money saved to bribe the officials in Yizhou.
By Yuan Zhang's side, the first one to be secretly bought by Taishan was one of the representatives of the reformists, Zhang Song. Zhang Song's person, his appearance is not good, his talent is not shallow, he always in the dead of night, sighing that Yuanzhang's weakness, is not enough for him to play the wisdom in his chest, after receiving the olive branch thrown by Mount Tai, Zhang Song after three days of careful consideration, finally decided to serve Mount Tai as the main, let Mount Tai enter the main Xichuan. No matter what kind of person Taishan is, compared to the weak Yuan Zhang, Tai Tai is much stronger, Zhang Song believes that Yizhou will have better prospects under the governance and drive of Tai Tai than under Yuan Zhang. From this level, Zhang Song secretly took refuge in Mount Tai. But it has nothing to do with money, money just plays the role of a medium, so that Taishan and Zhang Song have a series.
As for Yuanqi, who is more wise and powerful than Mount Tai, Zhang Song believes that Yuanqi's strength is strong enough, with a vast territory and a large number of talents. After all, the military and political centers of Yuanqi are in Youzhou and Jizhou, and they are far away from Yizhou. From a personal point of view, Yuan Qi already has outstanding talents such as Bafang All-rounder, Five Tiger Generals and Eight Good Generals, although Zhang Song thinks very highly of himself, but he is very self-aware, knowing that he is not as good as these talents, if he serves Yuan Qi, at most it is only a position of Taishou. It's even better to be reused under Yuan Zhang. Therefore, Zhang Song also broke off the idea of joining Yuanqi and secretly took refuge in Mount Tai.
After taking refuge in Mount Tai, Zhang Song invited his friends Fa Zheng and Huang Quan to his home for more than ten days. Set up a banquet to entertain them, and every time at the end of the banquet, Zhang Song would sigh a few times with a sad face, and Fa Zheng and Huang Quan asked again and again. Zhang Song refused to say anything, which made Fa Zheng and Huang Quan curious. After half a month, Zhang Song relented. He told the story that he had already served Mount Tai, and made it clear that he was not greedy for wealth, but to find a master for Yizhou. At the same time, Zhang Song also said his previous analysis of Yuan Qi and Taishan, believing that Yizhou will have a brighter future only if it falls into the hands of Taishan.
Although they were extremely surprised by Zhang Song's words, when Fa Zheng and Huang Quan calmed down and thought about it carefully, they thought that Zhang Song's analysis was very reasonable, and after a short struggle, the two also agreed to Zhang Song's approach, and expressed their willingness to surrender to Taishan in Zhang Song's letter of recommendation.
After getting the secret support of Zhang Song and the others, Taishan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and now, Taishan thought that the time had come, and it was time to fight back and occupy Yizhou. But for Taishan, a complete hypocrite, he didn't want to bear the infamy of embezzling the inheritance of his brother, and before sending out his troops, Taishan had to find a suitable excuse as a reason to crusade against Yuanzhang, so as to achieve the fame of the division and block the mouth of the people of the world. So, Taishan secretly found Pang Tong, hoping that Pang Tong would help him come up with ideas. After consideration, Pang Tong thought that the war had subsided, and Zhang Lu had been warned enough that he did not dare to send troops to Xichuan as an excuse to let Taishan lead the army to withdraw from Yizhou and return to Jingzhou, and at the same time spread rumors on the CD, saying that Taishan had two hearts, so that Yuanzhang took the initiative to send troops to attack Taishan, so that Taishan had an excuse to crusade against Yizhou. This is a bitter ploy, which cannot be believed by the people of the world, and the reputation of Mount Tai can also be preserved.
At the same time, Pang Tong also proposed that he might as well bribe Yang Song with a lot of money to persuade Zhang Lu to block Yuan Qi, so that Yuan Qi could not come to the rescue of Yuan Zhang, so as to remove an obstacle for Taishan to take Yizhou. In this regard, Taishan readily agreed, and immediately asked Mi Zhu to secretly go to Hanzhong with two hundred catties of gold to bribe Yang Song. Taishan believes that two hundred catties of gold is just for Yang Song to help him block Yuan Qi, and Yang Song will definitely recognize this price.
When everything was planned, Taishan was ready to officially tear through the disguise and meet with Yuan Zhang's sword soldiers. Although he had broken with Yuan Zhang in his heart, he did not show the slightest clue on the surface of Mount Tai, and wrote a letter to Yuan Zhang in the same tone and the same wording as usual, in which he said that he had left Jingzhou for more than four months, and he was really worried in his heart, and now Zhang Lu had been warned enough that he would never send troops to attack Yizhou in the short term, so he asked Yuan Zhang to lead the soldiers and horses to return to Xiangyang by road.
At the same time that Taishan's letter was sent to the CD, Pang Tong personally selected fifty fine sergeants, but they also came to the CD to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Taishan nominally wanted to return to Jingzhou by the road, but in fact he was preparing to assassinate Yuanzhang when passing by the CD, and then occupy the entire territory of Yizhou.
Under Pang Tong's planning, when Yuanzhang received Taishan's resignation letter, rumors were already raging in CD City, which caused panic among CD residents. Yuan Zhang was already weak, and after hearing the rumors, he immediately lost his mind in his heart, and the six gods were at a loss. At this time, Zhang Song, who secretly served Mount Tai, stood up, thinking that the rumors could not be groundless, and advocated sending a force to Luocheng to strengthen the defense, prevent Taishan from returning to Jingzhou, and recommend Zhang Ren, the general of Yizhou, to go to Luocheng.
Zhang Ren is upright, he can't rub a little sand in his eyes, and he has resisted Taishan from the very beginning, if Zhang Ren is allowed to go to Luocheng, he will definitely pick a bone in the egg and find out the dissatisfaction with Taishan. Then attack Taishan's troops, so that Pang Tong's strategy can be successfully implemented. This is also the reason why Zhang Song strongly recommends Zhang Ren.
Fa Zheng and Huang Quan also strongly agreed with Zhang Song's opinions, and finally made Yuan Zhang make up his mind, and in the spirit of taking precautions, ordered Zhang Ren to lead an army of 20,000 to the north immediately, join the soldiers stationed in Luocheng, and closely monitor Taishan's every move. Zhang Ren is very loyal to Yuanzhang. Without the slightest shirk of Yuan Zhang's order, he immediately led his generals to the army to order troops, and prepared to leave for Ruocheng early tomorrow morning.
Ten days later, when Tarzan was about to arrive at the city. Mi Zhu also brought two hundred catties of gold to see Yang Song. Mi Zhu told Yang Song what Taishan meant, and Yang Song weighed it again and again, feeling that he was only temporarily helping Taishan resist Yuan Qi, and there was no loss to himself. And there was a reward of 200 catties of gold to be obtained, so he happily agreed, and the two sides agreed within two months. Yang Song will persuade Zhang Lu to help Taishan block Yuanqi, if within two months, Taishan fails to successfully take Yizhou, and still needs to rely on the strength of the Hanzhong army, then Taishan must add additional money, every extra day, according to five catties of gold to calculate. Yang Song This is a typical lion opened his mouth, but Mi Zhu knew that only this mercenary villain could persuade Zhang Lu to resist Yuan Qi, and after some weighing, Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and agreed on behalf of Taishan.
Tarzan's series of conspiracies did not completely hide from the hidden dragon's spying. It was the first time for the members of the hidden dragon to come to Yizhou, and in the extremely xenophobic country of Yizhou, it was difficult for the members of the hidden dragon to find out all the news, but the well-trained members of the hidden dragon still found a trace of clues, and quickly reported it to Li Ru. So Li Ru didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Yuan Qi, who summoned Jia Yuan and others, conducted a deep analysis according to the information in Li Ru's hands, and finally determined the general policy of Mount Tai, knowing that Mount Tai was going to stage a bitter meat trick, but he didn't know which unlucky person would be the one who was taken out by Mount Tai as "bitter meat".
Although Yuan Qi and the others understood Taishan's intentions after analysis, without waiting for them to react, Zhang Lu let his younger brother Zhang Wei and the general Yang Ren lead an army of 50,000 to block the road of Yuan Qi's march to Jiameng Pass, cutting off the possibility of Yuan Qi's army advancing to Yizhou.
Through this series of things, Yuan Qi suddenly understood that he had been calculated, and the person who calculated himself must be Feng Xiao Pang Tong, except for him, no one would have such a big stroke. Pang Tong used his own wisdom to beat himself a time gap, under Pang Tong's multi-pronged strategy, he had already lost the first move, Pang Tong really deserved to be Zhuge Liang's fellow disciple and brother, and he was like a ghost and a god! Even Jia Yuan, Li Ru and other brilliant people under his command could not get a glimpse of the slightest. Of course, this is also inseparable from the lack of intelligence collection and the lack of intelligence for Jia Yuan and them to analyze.
Although he lost his first move, Yuan Qi still discussed a remedy with Jia Yuan and Li Ru, so that Dian Wei, who had crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains like walking on the ground, took 5,000 land to return to the Lishi, directly crossed the mountains, took a shortcut to Rucheng, and perhaps had time to destroy Taishan's conspiracy. To tell the truth, Dian Wei is a fierce general who charges into battle, and it is really difficult for him to let him destroy the conspiracy and tricks, but now among the generals of Yuan Qi, only Dian Wei has the ability to climb mountains and mountains, and Dian Wei has no choice. Before Dian Wei set off, Yuan Qi suddenly remembered something, and then invited Hua Tuo, who went out with the army, and asked Hua Tuo to follow Dian Wei to Ruocheng. Hua Tuo has been accustomed to collecting medicine between the mountains and mountains since he was a child, and although he is a little older now, because of the diligent practice of the five bird operas, it is still not a problem to cross the mountains and mountains, but it will not increase the burden on Dian Wei.
Before the expedition, Yuan Qi suddenly had a whimsical idea to take Hua Tuo to go on the expedition together, and the soldiers did not understand what Yuan Qi meant. But Yuan Qi refused to tell others his intentions, but just invited Hua Tuo to his big tent and quietly instructed a few words.
In fact, Yuan Qi's mind is on Pang Tong. In history, Zhang Ren, who guarded the city, arranged ambushes on both roads, which led to the death of Pang Tong who walked the path, and Yuan Qi let Hua Tuo follow Dian Wei this time The important reason is to save Pang Tong, Pang Tong's talent is not under Zhuge Liang, so he wants to get him under his command.
