The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 285 Yizhou Zhang Song
After Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao and surrendered an army of 10,000+ from Xiliang, his squad returned to Xudu for repairs.Use Xiahouyuan to guard Chang'an to town Guanzhong and capitalize on Yongliang's military; use Xiahoudun to garrison Wancheng to guard against Zhang Wu; use Cao Ren to garrison Hefei to guard against Jiangdong.

Since the Battle of Chibi, Zhang Wu has been expanding his army to prepare for war while waiting for an opportunity. He has mainly harassed Jiangdong, so the world has calmed down.

But everyone knows that the calm is only temporary, and the princes of all parties are secretly preparing. Perhaps a small incident will become the fuse for all parties to fight again.

However, it is said that after Ma Chao was defeated by Cao Cao, many Xiliang people fled to Hanzhong, so Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanning, was alarmed.

Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling is Zhang Tianshi in Taoism.Zhang Lu is the third-generation Heavenly Master of Five Pecks of Rice. His mother is also a wizard. It is said that she is very good at keeping in good health and maintains her health well. When she is older, she looks like a girl. She often goes to the home of Liu Yan, the former Yizhou shepherd.

It is hard to say whether Zhang Lu's mother had some unclear relationship with Liu Yan. Anyway, it was Zhang Lu who gained Liu Yan's trust through his mother's relationship and appointed Zhang Lu as the governor general. Together with Xiu, he led troops to attack Su Gu, the prefect of Hanzhong.

After Zhang Xiu killed Su Gu, Zhang Lu killed Zhang Xiu again, occupied Hanzhong, and cut off the connection between the imperial court and Yizhou.Later, after Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, he killed Zhang Lu's mother and family on the grounds that Zhang Lu refused to listen to his orders, and sent Pang Xi to attack Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu defeated him many times.

Now Zhang Lu heard that Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao, and his power shocked the world, so he gathered his men to discuss: "Ma Teng in Xiliang was killed by Cao Cao, and Ma Chao took revenge and was defeated by Cao Cao. Soon Cao Cao will come to invade Hanzhong. I want Claiming to be the King of Han Ning and leading an army to resist Cao Cao, what do you think?"

Gongcao Yanpu said: "There are more than 41 households in Hanzhong, with sufficient money and food. There are mountains and rivers on all sides, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that Ma Chao is newly defeated, there are no less than tens of thousands of Xiliang people who rushed into Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley. .I think Liu Zhang in Yizhou is weak now, it is better to take the [-] prefectures of Xichuan as the foundation first, and then it will not be too late to become king."

Zhang Lu was overjoyed, so he discussed with his younger brother Zhang Wei about raising troops to attack Yizhou.

Yizhou and Hanzhong have been at war for many years, and the two sides must have sent many spies to each other in each other's territory. This matter soon spread to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang is relatively cowardly by nature, and has no ambitions or talents. Otherwise, with the land of the seven counties in his hands, there are many counselors and generals, but Zhang Lu in Hanzhong can't do anything.

Now when he heard that Zhang Lu was going to attack Xichuan, Liu Zhang was terrified, and hurriedly summoned all the officials to discuss the countermeasures.

In fact, this matter is easy to deal with. The two sides have been fighting for so many years. Although Yizhou cannot capture Hanzhong, Hanzhong cannot invade Yizhou.Hanzhong and Yizhou are separated by Daba Mountain and Micang Mountain, and the roads are rough and difficult. As long as the Yizhou Army controls the two passages in the mountains, Micang Road and Jinniu Road, the Hanzhong army will not be able to enter.

Now Pang Xi leads his army to defend Micang Road, while Jinniu Road only needs to defend Jiameng Pass.Although Liu Zhang did not have great talents, he still had some talents among his men in civil and military affairs.For example, Fazheng, this is a top strategist who can be compared with Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others; for example, Li Yan, this is a general who fought against Huang Zhong for fifty rounds.

And who are the masters under Zhang Lu?Except for one Yanpu who has some schemes, everything else is shit.

However, the current Yizhou is very chaotic, and the various factions are fighting for power and intrigue, which is more severe than Yuan Shao's men at the beginning.

This matter starts from when Liu Yan entered Shu, because Liu Yan was a foreigner. In order to stabilize his rule, he reused the Dongchuan faction who was also a foreigner to suppress the local tyrants and Yizhou local faction. Controlled the situation in Shu.

Later, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang, who succeeded him, was weak and incompetent. He could neither maintain a balance between the Dongchuan faction and the local faction, nor could he completely subdue one faction, which led to the intensification of conflicts between the two factions.

But the local faction has lived in Yizhou for generations, after all, they still have some advantages. When the top leaders are not strong and have no means, the local faction gradually suppresses the foreign faction, occupies high positions, and holds power.This caused strong dissatisfaction among the foreign Dongchuan faction, and they wanted to change their boss.

Who are the people who supported Liu Bei's entry into Shu in the original book?Fazheng is from Fufeng, Meng Da is from Fufeng, Li Yan is from Nanyang, Wu Yi is from Chenliu, Fei Guan is from Jiangxia, all from outsiders.

As for those who opposed and resisted Liu Bei, Huang Quan was from Brazil, Wang Lei was from Guanghan, Zhang Ren was from Shu County, and Yan Yan was from Berkshire.

But why did Zhang Song, who is also a local faction, betray Liu Zhang?Moreover, Zhang Song is not in Yizhou, he has a high position and authority in Yizhou, and he can be regarded as the leader of the local faction.This is because Zhang Song thinks that his talent is too high, but he can't make full use of it under Liu Zhang, who is such a foolish master. A different seat is really not enough for him, so he wants to change to a brighter master to show his skills on a higher platform.

As a result, this second-five boy who betrayed his faction was reported by his brother, Zhang Su, the prefect of Guanghan. Although Zhang Su sent Liu Zhang the message of "there is an inner ghost, terminate the transaction", it was too late.They stopped trading with you and just snatched it away.

Now that Zhang Lu is going to attack Yizhou, the Dongchuan faction that has already stood aside is indifferent, but Zhang Song, the leader of the local faction, suddenly said: "Don't worry, my lord. Zhang Lu did not dare to attack Xichuan."

Liu Zhang saw that he was the second-in-command that he trusted and reused, and immediately asked happily: "Do you have any good ideas that can relieve Zhang Lu's danger?"

Zhang Song said: "I heard that Cao Cao in Xudu swept the Central Plains. He destroyed Lu Bu and Eryuan, and now he defeated Ma Chao. His army is strong and strong. My lord, please prepare the offerings. I will go to Xudu personally. , Persuading Cao Cao to raise troops to take Hanzhong, then Zhang Lu resisted Cao Cao, and naturally he had no time to spy on Yizhou."

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, prepared gold, silver and jewels, special products in central Shu, and sent Zhang Song as an envoy to Xudu to persuade Cao Cao to attack Hanzhong.

God is so pitiful, the naive Liu Zhang never thought that his second-in-command wanted to sell him to Cao Cao, and the veterans of the local faction didn't think that their leading brother was actually a ghost!
In fact, Zhang Wu couldn't figure out why Zhang Song would take such a big risk to betray Liu Zhang and sell Yizhou when he was already in a high position in Yizhou.

It can only be said that the most difficult thing to figure out is the human heart. Unfortunately, Zhang Song's heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper. Even his own brother can't stand his betrayal.
