"Hey, if you are agitating your lips and tongues, if you insist on surrendering to Cao Ying, you may be reluctant to part with the thousands of hectares of fertile fields outside the city, ten thousand mulberry trees, as well as the gold, silver and jewelry at home, and the beautiful woman Jiao'e. What a bunch of shameless villains!"

"Despicable villain, the seller is begging for glory... Quickly invite Liu Xuande to enter Sichuan, and work together to fight against Cao Jun!"

Fazheng did not show any weakness, and his words were extremely sharp. Most of the officials who supported him were low-level officials with little wealth.

In this way, the people on both sides fought each other and refused to give in to each other, which almost collapsed the lobby of the State Shepherd's Mansion. After hearing the opinions of the two parties, Liu Zhang sighed and remained silent... They are all a group of people who are motivated by interests!

In all honesty, Liu Zhang knows that his own strength cannot compete with Cao Ying, but he is absolutely unwilling to surrender to Cao Ying. This has nothing to do with integrity, reputation, or character, but his own identity--the clan of the Han Dynasty!

Judging from the general trend of the world, it is inevitable for the Cao family to usurp the Han Dynasty. In order to buy people's hearts, it will inevitably reward civil and military officials-adding officials and ranks, conferring wives and sons, and amnesty to the world, reducing and exempting the people's taxes, but The abolished emperor of the Han family and the clan members of the Han family will not be treated like this, instead there will be bloody disasters!

Have you seen the example of Wang Mang usurping the Han Dynasty? Three cups of poisonous wine poisoned Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, imprisoned Ru Ziying for more than ten years, and did not allow anyone to communicate with him. The power of the Liu surname is restored!

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiu rose up in Nanyang, and it only took 12 years to wipe out the heroes of the north and south and take back the world. One of the reasons for Wang Mang's failure in later generations' evaluation is that he kept killing the clansmen of the Han family!

The past is not forgotten, the teacher of the future, after Cao's usurpation of the country, he must learn the lesson of Wang Mang's failure and carry out a bloody massacre of the Han clan. No good end!

But to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan and jointly resist the invasion of Cao Jun, Liu Zhang also had some scruples, just like what Zhang Song and others said about "the dove occupying the magpie's nest". Brothers of the same clan who can't fight?

Besides, the identity of Liu Bei's clan relatives in the Han family has always been suspected. King Jing of Zhongshan-Liu Sheng is lewd and lustful. He has more than 100 children and countless descendants. It is difficult to verify the family tree. Not an imposter?

…………

"Everyone, listen to me: negotiating peace with Cao Ying is self-destruction, and forming an alliance with Liu Bei is to lure wolves into the house. Neither of these two strategies is advisable!

I have a household registration of one million in Bashu, 15 armored soldiers, and a mountain of food, grass, military equipment, and money. With such a strong strength, why should I rely on others?

The last general is not talented, and I would like to raise [-] elite soldiers to go north, temporarily resolve the grievances with Zhang Lu, and work together to resist the invasion of Cao Jun. As long as the gate of Hanzhong is not lost, Bashu will be as stable as Mount Tai! "

When everyone was arguing, a lion-like roar rang out, and the trembling lobby was buzzing. People hurriedly watched, and a man walked out of the ranks of generals - in his early forties, majestic and majestic. The No.1 general in Bashu - Zhang Ren!

Chapter 1478 There Are Generals in Shu ([-])

Zhang Ren, whose name is Gongyi, was born in a poor family. He has little courage and loves to practice martial arts. Later, he was fortunate enough to worship under Tong Yuan, a famous marksman master, and learned superb martial arts. The opponent has won the reputation of 'Xichuan Gun King'!

And his brother from the same school is Zhang Xiu, who is known as the "Northern Spear King". He was forced to kill himself by Hengjian because he participated in the dispute over the establishment of the Cao family's heir; The closed disciple of his teacher Tong Yuan, all of whom have passed on the truth!

After Zhang Renyi became a teacher, he joined the former Yizhou Mu-Liu Yan, hoping that with his superb skills, he would capture the flag on the battlefield, make contributions, win glory and wealth for himself, and protect the people in his hometown!

More than 20 years have passed in a flash, Zhang Ren always strives to be the first in every battle, has made countless military exploits, and is honored as the "No. Knighthood.

The reason? It's not that Zhang Ren's ability is not good, nor is there a problem with his popularity. On the contrary, he has many life-and-death friends in the army, but his foundation is not good--he came from a poor family and is a child of Bashu!

When Liu Yan saw that something was wrong, he fooled Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, bribed the "ten permanent attendants", and got the big piece of fat in Yizhou, but he was an outsider after all. Foreign officials suppress local forces in Bashu...

Xindu Ling-Fazheng is the surname of Liangzhou-Youfufeng County!

Chengdu Order - Li Yan, is from Jingzhou - Nanyang County!

The prefect of Guanghan, Deng Zhi, is from Jingzhou-Nanyang County!

Brazilian prefect-Pang Xi, Sizhou-Luoyang native!

…………

To put it bluntly, six out of ten important positions in the Bashu Group are occupied by foreign scholars, and the remaining three to four points go to Bashu scholars.

The father and son Liu Yan and Liu Zhang have ruled Shu for more than [-] years, but they have not been able to expand their power. Of course, it has something to do with their character and ability. The discord between foreign and local officials is also one of the important reasons.

And the most unlucky ones are the humble children of Ba and Shu. They are suppressed by the joint efforts of the two noble families. They will never get promoted and get rich. The one who was beaten was also the most powerful.

"Bashu and Hanzhong are world feuds. They have been fighting continuously for these years. I don't know how many soldiers died and how much money was spent on food. How can they send troops to help Zhang Lu?"

"Today's plan in the lobby is about strategizing. The righteous general is skilled in martial arts, as long as he obeys his orders, he will be fine, and don't worry about the rest!"

"There are so many talented people in Sichuan, why should a poor boy talk too much, he's really a dog and a mouse - mind your own business!"

…………

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Rengang opened his mouth, he was suppressed by foreign and local gentry officials, who either pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, or sneered at him. His words were extremely vitriolic!

In fact, many people understand that Zhang Ren's plan of "sending troops to Hanzhong and uniting with Zhang Lu" is far more clever than submitting to Cao's army without fighting, or leading Liu Bei into Sichuan, but the more this is the case, the more they will desperately oppose it!

Because the generals of the Bashu army, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Ling Bao, Deng Xian... Most of them were from poor local families. If they were allowed to lead the troops into Hanzhong, they would really stop the Cao army from attacking. With this outstanding military achievement, the Bashu Group must reshuffle the cards.

Once the children of the poor family came to power, the gentry officials would lose their glory, and they might be retaliated against. In the past, they bullied the children of the poor family, but they were not lenient at all. The repeated defeats of the Bashu generals is the best proof!

On the other hand, if Zhang Ren and the others were unable to defeat Xiao Yi and wiped out the elite troops from Bashu, Cao Jun would surely march straight in and hit the city of Chengdu in one go...

At that time, everyone didn't even have the capital to negotiate a peace, so they could only raise their hands and surrender obediently. It was up to others to kill or cut, let alone high-ranking officials and generous salaries. I'm afraid it would be difficult to preserve their wives and family property!

It is precisely in consideration of these that the officials of the gentry desperately opposed sending troops, even turning black and white and slandering Zhang Ren's plan. Human nature is selfish. When personal interests and collective interests conflict, they will often choose the former!

"My lord, the last general is so loyal and loyal, I still hope to entrust the soldiers and horses with important tasks. If you can't resist Cao Jun, please kill the whole family!"

"I am willing to go with General Zhang and vow to fight Cao Jun to the death to ensure that Bashu is safe and sound. Please order the troops to be dispatched!"

…………

Zhang Ren's marksmanship is superb, but his eloquence is mediocre. He couldn't compete with these gentry officials with sharp tongues, so he had to kneel on the ground and pin all his hopes on Liu Zhang!

Liu Ba, Huang Quan, Ling Bao, Deng Xian and others also knelt down. Over the years, they have competed with the Hanzhong Group. , Said they are a group of idiot generals!

In fact, their ability to form troops is not bad, and they are even more fearless in battle. The reason why they win less and lose more, but they can't beat the weak Hanzhong Group is because there are people behind them...

Being suppressed by the gentry for many years, they want to let go of their hands and feet, go to the battlefield to fight bloody, kill him, and let the world take a good look. There are also iron-blooded men in Bashu, who are not inferior to the heroes of the Quartet!

"General Yi, please get up, and all the generals should also get up. The Mu of Benzhou is very clear about your utter loyalty, but... sending troops is a very important matter, and we have to think about it in the long run!"

Liu Zhang is not a fool. He knew that sending troops to Hanzhong and joining forces with Zhang Lu to fight against Cao Cao was the best self-protection strategy in front of him. He also wanted to agree to the invitation of the generals in Shuzhong, but the officials of the gentry refused to agree, and he did not dare to nod easily!

After all, my position as Yizhou Mu was held up by the gentry group. Since they can hold it up, they can naturally smash it to pieces. Therefore, many important military and state affairs must be done according to the wishes of the gentry, even if they know it is Wrong!

You can't send troops to Hanzhong, and you can't surrender to Cao Ying. If the Bashu Group wants to survive, the only way left is to invite Liu Bei to enter Sichuan. , Liu Zhang hesitated for a while...

"Report... Hanzhong Urgent Report... Hanzhong Urgent Report!"

"Quickly tell me, what happened to the battle in Hanzhong, who will win and who will lose?"

While hesitating, a Hongling messenger ran up to the lobby and brought the latest news from Hanzhong. Liu Zhang and the officials hurriedly asked...

"My lord: Cao Ying's West Route Army conquered Baima Pass, beheaded [-] people, and captured more than [-] alive. The guard Changyi was killed on the spot, and the remnants retreated to Yangping Pass. The entire Hanzhong side was shaken!"

"What, Baimaguan is surrounded by mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are heavy troops stationed there. Cao's army was unable to attack several times. Why did it fall overnight?"

"Report to my lord: That Ma Liu was exceptionally brave and unable to attack several times. He actually led hundreds of dead soldiers to climb up the cliff in the middle of the night, and then fell into the city with a rope, killing the defenders by surprise. City success!"

"It's over... It's over, Baima Pass is lost, and Yangping Pass and Nanzheng City will follow. Zhang Lu may not last long!"
