[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

Liu Bei was in a difficult situation in Xuzhou, and he would not leave Zhang Fei alone. Under Jian Yong's heartbroken persuasion, he finally made a difficult decision.

Abandon Xuzhou and lead troops to Jingzhou.

Liu Bei threw down the seal and left Xiapi with his brothers and soldiers. Before the people on this side walked out of the city gate, Zhang Liao on the other side wrote a letter to their master. He even wanted to take his brothers to stand on the side of the road to send Uncle Liu Huang away.

When the news spread to Wancheng, the official office was full of joy, even Gan Ning stopped squatting in the corner as a mushroom, and recovered his vigor to wait for the troops to be dispatched.

Yecheng was bustling and bustling as always. Yuan Huan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Zhang Liao's letter. If Uncle Liu Huang came to Jingzhou, Nanyang would not be able to suppress Lu Fengxian who was ready to move. It is even more difficult to manage a brave and powerful general like the general. He was able to manage it himself when he was in Yecheng, but after he was released, he was worried every day.

A Lv Bu makes people feel at ease, and Yuan Shu who suddenly stands up and wants to be promoted, the two of them get together, it is difficult to persevere for such a long time.

"Liu Xuande has great ambitions, but it's a pity that he was born at an untimely time. When he should be tough, he is indecisive. After all, it is difficult to achieve great things." Ju Shou put down his work and began to think about whether to send troops to Jingzhou for support.

He and Xun Yu have their own priorities. Xun Yu focuses on internal affairs, while he is in charge of military affairs. The several eunuchs who were sent to Xuzhou earlier all brought soldiers to the post. Each of them brought only a few thousand soldiers. There are many soldiers.

There is no Liu Bei in Xuzhou, there is Mi, a local rich man who controls prices, and Chen Deng is working hard to resume production. The cronies left by Tao Qian are not to be feared. Even if a few want to defend the city, they can't last long.

There are still [-] soldiers in Jizhou, most of whom are cavalry and infantry who are not good at water warfare. Instead of sending troops from here, it is better to let Jingzhou recruit or recruit soldiers while fighting, and save Jizhou's soldiers and horses from going all the way.

The climate in the north and the south is very different. Soldiers who are accustomed to the climate in the north may not be able to adapt to the climate when they go to the south. The most taboo in the army is the occurrence of epidemic diseases. It is better not to go there to be safe.

Sending troops is not a one-sentence matter. Soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass, and military supplies are the most important thing. Ju Shou quickly went to Xun Yu to ask how many people their food and grass can support. No no.

To the south of Jiangxia are Nanyang and Runan. The combined population of Nanyang and Runan counties is larger than that of the entire Jingzhou. If Yuzhou has surplus food, it can also mobilize a little. The nearest support is the most labor-saving.

Jingzhou has a vast territory, and Yizhou is busy with civil strife and has no time to attack Jingzhou. Liu Biao has good control over the counties and counties in Jingzhou except Nanyang. As long as Huang Zu can guard Jiangxia, the safety of Nanjun can be guaranteed.

Therefore, the other counties can be put aside for the time being. If you want to win Jingzhou, you must first attack Jiangxia, otherwise you will attack Nanjun. The rabbit will bite people in a hurry, and Liu Biao will never be able to wipe his own neck in a hurry.

Take Jiangxia first. With Jiangxia and Nanyang, the two most important places, you can deploy troops to your heart's content. After that, it is only a matter of time before you can swallow the whole of Jingzhou and take Yizhou in the west.

Charcoal pens are easier to use than brushes, and the simple map is quickly filled with roads and roads, all of which are the marching route maps that Ju Shou thought up. Ju Zhizhong has a soul that wants to kill the world, but unfortunately he is a ruler. Zhong couldn't leave Yecheng easily, otherwise he would be more willing to go to Jingzhou to command the battle in person.

Marquis Wen fought bravely, and it was easy to conquer the city, but there was one thing that was lacking. He couldn’t let him make up his own mind. In war, he had to be brave and strategic. Not uncommon.

Xun Yu listened to Ju Shou's eloquent talk, and the other people beside him nodded secretly. They all agreed with Ju Zhizhong's idea. The world has been in chaos for so many years. Who would not want the world to be peaceful, Haiyan and Heqing? In his hands alone, these subordinates are also honored.

Yuan Huan got up and went over, looked at the map that was almost invisible, thought for a while, picked up a charcoal pencil and circled Hanzhong, "There is civil strife in Yizhou, has there been any change in Zhang Lu recently?"

Jingzhou was left to Liu Biao and Liu Bei. They attacked Hanzhong first, and then went south from Hanzhong to Yizhou. It is more likely to win Yizhou before taking Jingzhou.

"Zhang Lu has become a lot more honest recently, and has not fanned the flames as before. It is strange to say that during the civil strife in Yizhou, Liu Fan couldn't suppress the advisers and generals left behind by Liu Yan, and made a lot of money, which caused the price of the entire Yizhou to soar. It was his life. The timing is just right." Ju Shou frowned, not sure if Hanzhong was really honest or hiding evil intentions.

Xun Yu followed their lord's strokes for a while, then raised his eyes and asked warmly, "My lord wants to use Xiliang's troops to attack Hanzhong?"

Yuan Huan nodded with a smile, "Wen Ruoye is the one who knows me."

Ma Teng of Liangzhou saw that there was no movement on their side, and he wrote several times to come to Yecheng to meet him in person, but Liangzhou needed to guard against the Qiang and Di people. The last job still fell on Ma Chao.

Lu Bu had previously agreed to allow Ma Chao to lead troops to the Central Plains, presumably Liangzhou had already made preparations. Ma Chao led troops south from Liangzhou, and Cao Cao's troops were in Guanzhong. The two sides cooperated to Hanzhong to deal with Zhang Lu.

The terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous. If you fight hard, you may not be able to get results after seven or eight years. It is not a hard temper to be unable to hold Zhang Lu. For a Hanning prefect whose mind is full of how to surrender, the army is not for war, but For deterrence.

The original county magistrate and county magistrate in Hanzhong and other officials were all abolished after he took office, leaving only the five buckets of rice people to handle educational affairs, and by the way also take charge of civil affairs,

Zhang Lu, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang...

They all started out as religious sects, and both were surnamed Zhang. Of course, the relationship between the few people is somewhat unclear. Zhang Jiao caused the Yellow Turban chaos, and Zhang Lu just separatized Hanzhong. It seems that the Zhang Jiao brothers are more capable, but in terms of seniority, Zhang Lu But they are the direct descendants of their ancestors.

The founder of Wudou Rice Road is Zhang Ling, who is known as Zhang Tianshi. It is said that he met a fairy preaching in the mountains of Yizhou, and some people said that he himself was very talented and enlightened himself. Teach people to repent and envelop the God of God, gradually more and more believers, and gradually become a famous sect in Yizhou.

The Five Dou Rice Road was not called the Five Dou Rice Road at the beginning. The official name given by Zhang Ling Zhang Tianshi at the beginning may only have the word "Tao", but because the people who joined later had to pay the Five Dou Rice Road first, it was gradually passed down to the Five Dou Rice Road.

Zhang Ling is the master of heaven, and Zhang Ling's son Zhang Heng is called the division master. Zhang Heng's son Zhang Lu's generation is called the heir master. , they are not satisfied with being mediocre sect leaders anymore.

The side branches Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang shouted "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand." Zhang Lu was not as high-profile as their brothers, but joined forces with Liu Yan to separate Hanzhong with Liu Yan's influence.

Liu Yan changed Hanzhong County to Hanning County. Zhang Lu served as the prefect of Hanning under Liu Yan's recommendation, and concurrently served as the general of the townspeople. For him, this official position was already high. After all, Zhang Lu valued more His status as the leader of Wudou Mi Taoism does not depend on his official position as the prefect of Hanning to govern Hanzhong.

That man called himself "Shijun" instead of "Taishou" in Hanzhong. The so-called Shijun means the celestial master and the monarch.

People who learn Taoism are called "ghost soldiers" at first, and then they are promoted to "jijiu". The big bosses are called "zhitou dajijiu". They are all believers in the five buckets of rice.

Zhang Lu inherited most of Zhang Ling's business, teaching the people to be honest and not to cheat. For the people who came to ask for medicine when they were sick, they first asked the patients to turn themselves in and repent, then drew amulets and recited mantras, and gave the patients the spiritual water transformed by the mantras.

Yuan Huan knows that spells can't cure diseases, at most they have a psychological effect. If you want to cure diseases, you have to rely on medicine. Zhang Ling, Zhang Heng, and Zhang Lu have never overturned their cars. body.

The government hall is full of smart people, and they can guess the mystery with a little mention.

Zhang Lu didn't take advantage of the civil strife in Yizhou, of course it couldn't be because he was afraid of Liu Fan, and it wasn't necessarily because of his friendship with Liu Yan. The biggest possibility was that he was afraid that their lord would make trouble. He is also a townsman Zhonglang general, and others have no way to punish him for rebellion. If he kills Liu Fan and occupies Yizhou, it will completely block the escape route.

Their lord is benevolent and kind, and treats the forces that take the initiative to vote with courtesy. Youzhou Gongsun Zan just shows his kindness to them, and their lord sends people to help Youzhou solve various problems. The lord of the family is also sending money and food, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a fool who has a lot of money.

Cough cough, you can't say that about their lord, after all, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it's a good deal to lose some money and food in exchange for the lives of the soldiers.

With so many precedents ahead, as long as Zhang Lu is not a fool, he will know how to live longer, unless he thinks he can resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops city by city.

There is an unwritten rule in the battle between the two armies. Surrendering early before the battle starts can save you from death. After the battle, especially if the city is surrounded by the opponent, surrendering at this time is very dangerous. Whether you can save your life depends on whether you have This ability makes the opponent's coach reluctant to kill, and wait until the city is broken before surrendering, um, that may not be called surrender, it can only be called desperate, smashing the pot, breaking the jar, and surrendering or not, there is only one dead end.

The location of Hanzhong is very important. You must go through Hanzhong from Guanzhong to Yizhou. Their patriarch is gentle and kind on fair days, but no one thinks that he will stop. Jingzhou, Yizhou and even the southern Jiaozhou area must be pacified. The protagonist of the family turned his attention to Yizhou, and Hanzhong must bear the brunt of it.

Zhang Lu has occupied Hanzhong for so long, and when he saw the army pressing down on the situation, he knew it was time to make a choice. Judging from his current reaction, the possibility of a protracted war is not too great.

"In this way, General Fengxian will be disappointed again." Xun Yu sighed, thinking of Xi Zhicai who was still struggling in Nanyang, he couldn't help laughing.

Lu Feng went to Nanyang before to fight Jingzhou. Jizhou has not had a war for a long time. Since they stabilized, their lord is more willing to surrender without fighting. When sending troops, try not to send troops. General Lu Da has nothing to do except training soldiers, and he has long been unable to restrain his desire to fight everywhere.

Military generals need military merits to maintain their prestige. Although their prestige as General Lu is already too high, there is no military general who dislikes military merits. Troubled times are just when they are in their prime. When he was old, he could only do the job of guarding the city, and General Lu Da couldn't bear this grievance.

It was rare that there was going to be a war in Jingzhou, and General Lu excitedly led his troops there. As a result, before the war started in Jingzhou, Hanzhong, next door, fought first. After the news spread to Nanyang, General Lu was afraid that he would be angry and wanted to demolish the house.

Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile, "The one who is most disappointed is not Fengxian, but Zhicai."

This time it was his fault, he didn't make it clear in advance, he must write a letter later to explain, hoping that their almighty Mr. Xi Zhicai can feel his heart, and the prefect of Nanyang will definitely be replaced by this winter at the latest.

Midsummer is approaching, the blue sky is cloudless, and there are few people on the official road. It is the hottest time of the day.

The young general in lion helmet and silver armor rode his horse eastward, and behind him he brought more than 20 elite cavalrymen dressed similarly to him. The carefully selected Xiliang horse galloped by like the wind, and the pedestrians on the side of the road looked away. His horse hid on the side of the road and waited for the dust to clear before continuing on the road.

That kind of armor is unusual at first glance. No one on the left or right dares to cause trouble near Yecheng. Those people are not worthy of their identities. They can take a second look at the horse if they are greedy. .

A group of people came all the way from Xilianggu Zangcheng to Jizhou Yecheng. They saw a lot of things on the way. They had already guessed what Yecheng looked like before they came, but their imagination was too lacking. The closer they got to Yecheng, the more frightened they were. When I hadn’t seen it, I really couldn’t imagine what the real Yecheng looked like.

Ma Chao was ordered to come to Yecheng to meet the legendary former Situ. He was not too surprised when he passed through Guanzhong. These days, it was Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who contacted Xiliang. Mr. Wen He said that Cao Mengde was both civil and military. It is not surprising that there will be no civil unrest in Guanzhong.

There is no civil unrest in Guanzhong, but it is just that there is no civil unrest. People's lives are not easy. No matter where droughts, earthquakes, and locust plagues have continued for several years, it is impossible to return to normal in just one or two years, let alone Cao Mengde. If he has the ability, even if he is a god, it is impossible.

The situation in Guanzhong is still within his understanding, because their normal situation in Liangzhou is similar to Guanzhong after the civil unrest, but the further east they go, the more confused he is. Why are there no thieves in Jizhou?

Ma Chao couldn't figure it out. He took few people with him when he went out, but they were all well-equipped elites. The thieves would run away when they saw them from a long distance. They never saw any thieves who dared to take the initiative to rob them along the way. They followed the traces to find the thieves. Wo caught them all and threw them to the government.

After all, they are newcomers, and taking the initiative to cause trouble can easily leave a bad impression on people. Handing over the thieves to the government can not only show that they came from the right path, but also allow the government to give them credit. Even if it is not a big credit, it can at least prove that they are good people .

The official roads in Liangzhou have been deserted for hundreds of years, and no grass has grown. The official roads in Guanzhong are the expected refugees fleeing. The official roads in Jizhou... Even the official roads in Jizhou are cleaner and tidy than other places.

They left Liangzhou day and night, and the speed was even faster when there were no thieves blocking the way. After half a month of driving, they finally arrived at the legendary Yecheng. It was exactly the same as the soldiers behind him, with the same shock on his face.

It's not that they are ignorant, well, they just are ignorant, this place is too luxurious.

Mr. Wen He said that Luoyang is prosperous, but Luoyang City has been burned down. He was young and did not have time to see the prosperity of Luoyang City. He also felt that he did not know when Luoyang would be rebuilt. It is a pity that he has never seen the peaceful and prosperous capital since he was so old.

If he had to say where Luoyang needed to be rebuilt, Yecheng would be very good. Isn't this peaceful enough, not prosperous enough?

He doesn't believe that there is a city more prosperous than Yecheng in the world, unless he sees it with his own eyes.

Where there is any chaos in the world, it is clearly fake!
