Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 295
Yan Yan sent someone to deliver the military newspaper to Chengdu, and it took only three days to enter Chengdu.After receiving Yan Yan's military report, Liu Zhang immediately summoned a kind of civil servants and generals in Chengdu.

Liu Zhang's civil and military personnel are quite powerful, especially the civil servants, Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Fazheng, Zhang Su, Fei Guan, Wu Yi, Peng Yi, Dong He, Pang Xi, Qin Mi, Meng Da and others. They are all outstanding people. Although not all of them are talented in governing the country, they are more than enough to govern a state and a county.

The generals in Chuanzhong are not very weak either. Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, together with a group of mid-level generals, basically have no problem guarding Chuanzhong.

But it is a pity that Zhang Yi's generals are too strong.Among the generals in the middle of Shu, he was ranked the lowest, similar to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and the main generals were all famous generals through the ages.

Liu Zhang handed Yan Yan's military report to everyone, and asked: "Zhang Yi is not satisfied with Jingzhou, and now he is greedy for Yizhou. Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Huang Quan said: "Zhang Yi's army is powerful across the river. This time he attacked Yizhou, he must have the heart of victory. Now that Zhang Yi's army has arrived in Jiangzhou, the Lord should immediately send reinforcements."

Fazheng also said: "What Huang Gong said is true, but you have to prepare with both hands. After all, Chengdu is five hundred miles away from Jiangzhou. It is too far to send troops from Chengdu. You should prepare first. While sending people to support Chengdu, prepare Defend Chengdu. Choose a pass near Chengdu to prevent Zhang Yi's army from attacking Chengdu."

Liu Zhang felt that what these two people said was very reasonable, but he still wanted to hear other people's opinions.

At this time, don't engage in Zhang Song's words, "Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Yi came from a long way. It is five hundred miles from Jingzhou to Jiangzhou, and the grain road is narrow and inconvenient to transport grain. It is five hundred miles from Jiangzhou to Chengdu. Although the roads are much smoother, it still intensifies Zhang Yi's food consumption. My lord only needs to fortify the walls and clear the fields, so that Zhang Yi will have no food to use, and all the food will be transported from Jingzhou, which is not enough to support the army."

When everyone heard Zhang Song's words, they all nodded their heads in praise.

After hearing what the three of them said, Liu Zhang felt relieved a lot.He said to everyone: "Order Wu Yi and Gao Pei to prepare [-] soldiers and horses to reinforce Jiangzhou. Order Zhang Ren to guard Luo County, Yang Huai to guard Guangdu, and Liu Gui to guard Guanghan. If Jiangzhou falls, Liu Gui will delay time in Guanghan, and the rest will Immediately carry out fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, so that Zhang Yi will retreat in spite of difficulties."

As soon as Liu Zhang gave an order, the group of people under him immediately started to act.It is said that Liu Zhang is weak, but Liu Zhang is not useless, at least he is very good in governance, the people he uses are all talented people, and he loves the people very much.Historically, he held on to Chengdu for three years, and finally surrendered because of Ma Chao's reputation.But thinking about it carefully, Liu Zhang knew that Ma Chao hadn't been in a day or two. He had resisted Liu Bei for three years, and it was impossible for him to surrender immediately because of Ma Chao's arrival.

Then there is only one possibility, Liu Bei and the people are benevolent, and Ma Chao has always been cruel.When Ma Chao was in Guanzhong, he did a lot of harm to the people, and that's basically how he got his bad name.

Among the four generals Liu Zhang chose, Gao Pei and Yang Huai were famous generals under his command (this is what Pang Tong said), Zhang Ren and Liu Gui were loyal men (the two are of the same type, but Liu Gui’s reputation is not as good as Zhang’s) appoint).

After the arrangement, Liu Zhang thought that everything was safe, and a military report was sent to Chengdu.Zitong has fallen!

How could Zitong fall?Liu Zhang was stunned and didn't react for a long time.How did Zitong get lost?Isn't Zhang Yijun in Jiangzhou?How did you arrive at Zitong?
Wu Yi and Gao Pei had just set off from Chengdu and had just arrived in Luo County when news of Zitong's fall came.Wu Yi and Gao Pei hurriedly sent military newspapers to Liu Zhang, asking if they should go to support Jiangzhou.

Of course there is no need to go!Liu Zhang is now in a panic. There are only [-] soldiers in Chengdu. Wu Yi and Gao Pei took away [-], leaving only [-] in Chengdu. The rest of the soldiers are stationed in other places in Yizhou. a long time.

Liu Zhang once again summoned civil servants to discuss countermeasures.After discussing for a day, nothing came out.

The next day, Liu Zhang received another military report that Jiameng had fallen!

On the third day, another military report came, and Guanghan fell!

For three days in a row, three important county towns in Guanghan County were lost.Zitong is very famous in history. From Chengdu to Hanzhong, you must go to Zitong. To the northeast of Zitong is Jiange, which is Jianmen Pass (called Jianmen Pass since the Tang Dynasty). It is the first pass in the world. .Jiameng also has a very famous pass, that is Jiameng Pass.In history, Liu Bei garrisoned troops here to help Liu Zhang resist Zhang Lu. This is also the place where Liu Bei killed Gao Pei and Yang Huai.Guanghan is the only way to go to Jiangzhou. If you don't go to Guanghan, you have to go around a big circle and walk another five hundred miles.

Liu Zhang kept summoning his counselors and asking what to do.

Huang Quan was very conservative. He said to Liu Zhang: "Zhang Yi has already captured Zitong, Jiameng, and Guanghan, so he will attack Chengdu next. The envoy should let the general be stationed in Luo County, and another general should be sent to guard Lutou Pass ( In Mianzhu County, the Mianzhu Pass mentioned in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is Lutou Pass.)

Zhang Song is very radical, "Now that Jiangzhou is not lost, you should send generals to take back Guanghan, and another general to take back Zitong and Jiameng. If Zitong and Jiameng are lost, Baishuiguan will definitely fall, and the road to Hanzhong will be opened. , if Zitong and Jiameng are not recaptured, the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong may go south."

Liu Zhang asked: "Although Zhang Lu has been spying on Shuzhong for a long time, will he join forces with Zhang Yi? He should know the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold?"

Zhang Song said: "Does the Lord think that Zhang Lu still controls Hanzhong?"

Liu Zhang asked, "Yongnian thinks Zhang Yi has captured Hanzhong?"

"This is obvious. Otherwise, Zhang Yi only needs to take Guanghan and open up the road from Jiangzhou to Chengdu. Why did he take Zitong and Jiameng? He is opening the way for the soldiers of Hanzhong. Take Zitong and Jiameng Afterwards, the soldiers of Hanzhong can directly attack Fu County, and after defeating Fu County, they can reach Lutou Pass."

Liu Zhang thought Zhang Song was right, so he asked Huang Quan again.Huang Quan said: "Even if the troops from Hanzhong enter Shu, you only need to defend Lutou Pass and Luoxian County to be invincible. Although taking back the three counties will give you more initiative, it will also affect the grain road." Stretching, the loss is too great, the gain outweighs the loss!”

Liu Zhang also thought that what Huang Quan said was very reasonable, which made him in a dilemma, who should he listen to?Liu Zhang was also very tangled.

In this way, Huang Quan and Zhang Song argued endlessly. Both sides believed that their strategy was correct. Fazheng and Meng Da supported Huang Quan, and Zhang Ren and other generals supported Zhang Song. They kept discussing what to do.Although the two sides have differences, they have one thing to confirm. The previous support for Jiangzhou has been given up.
