Great Wei Nengchen

………………

After clarifying the situation, the lobby was full of exclamations. I thought that the Hanzhong Group was small and powerful. Although it could not compete with Cao Ying, but relying on the natural danger of the Qinling Mountains, it would not be a problem to stick to it for half a year. The Bashu Group would have time to move around...

Unexpectedly, in just two months, several cities in Hanzhong were lost, and the strong Baima Pass was also lost. If this continues, Nanzheng City will change hands in two months?

The matter has come to this point, Liu Zhang is not allowed to hesitate any longer, and must make a decisive decision, otherwise Cao Jun will not conquer Hanzhong, but will drive straight into Chengdu.

"Fazheng listened to the order: Bring the autographed letter of Benzhou Mu, and then select a batch of rare treasures, and immediately go to Jiangling City to meet Liu Xuande, let him recite the brotherhood of the same clan, and quickly lead troops into Sichuan to fight against me together." Cao!"

"promise!"

"Li Yan listened to the order: order all cities, checkpoints, and docks in Brazil to let Liu Beijun come, and to provide food, accommodation, and necessary supplies!

From the treasury, 10 taels of gold, 5000 million copper coins, and 30 dendrobium grains were raised...as rewards for Jingzhou soldiers! "

"promise!"

Under the pressure of the situation, Liu Zhang finally made up his mind. If he led Liu Bei's army into Sichuan, he might lose Bashu;

Maybe Liu Bei Nian would not attack him because of his love for the same clan, at least he would not kill him, it would be a hundred times better than falling into the hands of Cao Jun and dying without a place to bury him in the end!

In addition, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of preventing others. Liu Zhang continued to order: Zhang Ren will be the forward commander, Ling Bao, Liu Gui, and Deng Xian will be the deputy generals, and Dong He will be the supervising army envoy. Stationed on the Xiameng and Jiange lines to prevent Cao Jun from entering the hinterland of Bashu,

He also asked Gao Pei and Yang Huai, two foreign confidant generals, to command [-] elite troops, and stationed in Chengdu to prevent any accidents from happening!

At the same time, men over the age of 16 and under 50 in the counties of Bashu are either enlisting in the army, preparing to fight, or supplying civilian husbands and transporting food and grass. Get up, ready to fight Cao Jun to the death!

"Your lord is wise, and Duke Xuande will never fail you—haha!"

"Alas!—Alas!"

After the order was issued, Fazheng, Li Yan, Dong He and the others were overjoyed and trotted to carry out the order. As soon as Liu Bei's army entered Sichuan, their chance would come!

On the contrary, Zhang Song and the others looked hesitant, obviously very dissatisfied with the decision, and there was no way to stop it, so they could only think of other ways to let Cao Jun enter Bashu as soon as possible.

Zhang Ren's heart was ashamed, and he returned to the mansion listlessly. He was going to leave Chengdu tomorrow and go to Xiameng and Jiange to defend the line.

Chapter 1479 There Are Generals in Shu ([-])

Fifteen miles to the north of Chengdu City, there is a Jinniu mound - the terrain is open and the scenery is beautiful. Zhang Ren's mansion is located here. It is a large courtyard with three layers of front and back. It is clean and tidy, and there are also martial arts arenas, racetracks, and archery fields around it... There are constant sounds of daily drills, and it is like a small military camp!

The dignified No.1 general of Xichuan did not live in the bustling city of Chengdu, but went to settle outside the city for two reasons:

First, it is true that the city of Chengdu is prosperous and prosperous, but it is also a place where every inch of land is expensive, and the housing prices are even more astonishingly high. Zhang Ren was born in a poor family, with little money in his family, and he has a temperament of generously sacrificing money. Most of them paid for the parents, wives and children of Paozhe who died in battle!

Moreover, he was obsessed with martial arts, didn't know how to do business, and didn't own any property, so he was very shy in his pocket, and couldn't afford a luxury house in the city, so he had to choose a poor village to settle down.

Second, most of the gentry officials in Bashu set up mansions in the city of Chengdu, ranging from three to five to more than a dozen. Get huge profits!

Zhang Ren didn't want to be with these people, and he didn't dare to offend the officials of the gentry, so he had to hide in a remote place outside the city.

"It's really suffocating to death, it's better to slash the sword and die on the battlefield immediately!"

"Drinking a bar, three cups and everything, once drunk relieves a thousand worries, drunk and think about nothing!"

…………

At dusk, in the Jinniugang mansion, Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Deng Xian, Ling Bao, Liu Gui... more than a dozen people were sitting in the courtyard drinking wine, all of them had angry faces and gritted their teeth. , They are all from poor families!

In the lobby today, they were fighting for reason, hoping to defend Bashu and the elders in their hometown with all their blood, but they were suppressed by the officials of the gentry. The lord Liu Zhang was also incompetent, and even sent someone to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan. This is not to lure the wolf into the house ?

Zhang Ren and the others couldn't argue, and held back their anger, so they had to go back to the mansion to drink to relieve their worries. By the way, they discussed ways to protect their hometown as much as possible, so that they would be less ravaged by war in the future!

"The leg of lamb is roasted. Master and generals, please use it. This is the western Sichuan big yellow lamb. The meat is delicious, fat but not greasy. It is as lovely as my sister from Sichuan!"

"Haha, naughty little monkey, you should be beaten if you are glib, I'm afraid you miss a girl?"

…………

On the blazing fire next to it, there is a big yellow sheep that has been marinated. A handsome young man of seventeen or eighteen is turning the grill back and forth, sprinkling refined salt, pepper, green onion, ginger... A kind of seasoning, and cut off a roasted leg of lamb to offer to everyone!

The young man's name is Du Peng, he is Zhang Ren's direct disciple, he is eight feet tall, has a strong back and a strong waist, and his arms have the strength of hundreds of catties. No. [-] young general!

It's just that he is naughty, he jumps up and down like a little monkey all day long, and often makes some harmless jokes, unlike his master Zhang Ren - taciturn and humorless!

"Alas! - It has been 24 years since my old man Yicheng joined the command of Master Xianzhou Shepherd. He has gone through more than a hundred battles, and he has taken the lead and fought bloody battles. , It can be said that it is completely incomplete!

Unexpectedly, for more than 48 years, I have been loyal and loyal, but I can't get the trust and reuse of the lord. I am still a partial general, and I am subject to those gentry officials and corrupt Confucian scholars. age! "

…………

"Now that Cao's army is aggressively suppressing the country, my lord does not use the righteous general's good strategy, but listens to those gentry officials. I am afraid that Bashu will flow into rivers of blood. We soldiers are ashamed of our fathers and folks!"

"No matter how this battle is fought, in the end, the blood of the poor family will be shed, and the officials of the gentry will enjoy the blessings. This has been the case for hundreds of years. Will the poor family never have a bright future?"

"Yes, look to the north!"

The weather was hot in summer, and after drinking a few bowls of strong wine, all the generals took off their clothes, revealing a strong body, all covered with scars, and Zhang Ren had the most scars, several of which were near the vital points.

There have been no wars in Shuzhong these years, but friction with Hanzhong has continued. Every time, the generals of the humble family charge into the battle. I don’t know how much blood was shed and how many siblings died. !

It is also euphemistically said: "In the midst of strategizing, winning thousands of miles away, the power of planning is far better than fighting." In fact, apart from holding back, secretly tripping, and embezzling military rations and salaries, have those gentry officials done anything good?

In fact, the gentry's family control of official career is no longer a one-off day. It has been like this for more than [-] years in the Western and Eastern Han Dynasties. If the world continues to be dark forever, Zhang Ren and others will give up their hearts, but there is a light in the north!

Since Cao Cao came to power, he has promulgated several decrees to seek talents: regardless of family background, good or bad moral character, as long as they have the ability to govern the country, they can enter the court as an official, or join the army as a general!

Look at Cao Ying's civil and military officials, there are generals and officials, bandits and grass bandits, and despicable villains... There are countless children from poor families. ride!

There is also the Zhengming Academy founded by Xiao Yi, which recruits a large number of children from poor families. By teaching the ways of hundreds of schools, it opens the door to official careers. Now thousands of students graduate every year, and countless people have made great achievements!

There is no regional discrimination in enrollment, not only the poor children of the Central Plains, but also the poor children of Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Bashu, as long as they are of pure Han blood, intelligent, hard-working and hard-working scholars, all comers will be accepted!

Previously, Zhang Ren had taken a fancy to a few poor students, and wanted to recruit them to serve in the army, but they were all politely rejected, and then defected to Zhengming Academy. Even his precious apprentice, Du Peng, was nagging all day long to go to Xuchang to open the school. vision.

Compared with the two, how can the generals sitting here not be resentful, and how can they not think wildly... We could have endured the darkness, if we had never seen the light!

As the saying goes: "If the king regards his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will regard the emperor as his heart; '

Liu Zhang is incompetent and incompetent, and he is surrounded by a bunch of villains. Sooner or later, he will be swallowed up by others. All the generals here have never been favored by him. Naturally, he is unwilling to be buried with him. Instead, he wants to find a way out for himself. Is it feasible to surrender? ?

"Crack! - Take the old man's long spear, let's have a good dance tonight, and help you brothers to drink!"

"promise!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhang Ren drank a few mouthfuls of strong wine, smashed the wine bowl in his hand, then changed into his battle robe, and came to the courtyard!

A soldier brought a long spear, which was one foot and three inches long and weighed 58 catties. The barrel of the spear was engraved with flame patterns. The tip of the spear was made of fine steel and was extremely sharp. : The mighty musket!
