Soldiers come to the world

Of course, Yang Song also knew that the establishment of a defensive line at Shangyong would have a major impact on Hanzhong's defense. Seizing Shangyong not only destroyed Jingzhou's sharp knife that threatened Hanzhong, but also established a solid defensive wall so that Hanzhong no longer had to worry about it. threat from the east.

What are the consequences of just taking Shangyong?Although Liu Jing is recovering Jingnan now, he is busy looking at the north, but once he recovers Jingnan, will he let it go?

Yang Song leaned against the car wall, narrowing his slender eyes, he was still thinking about Zhang Lu's last words.

"The news from Bashu that Jingzhou wants to take Hanzhong is absolutely reliable. Don't ask who it is. I just want to know how to keep Hanzhong?" "

"It's always been my wish to win Shangyong. It was in the hands of Cao Cao before, so I didn't dare to think too much about it, but now it's in the hands of Liu Jing, and it's just his frontier town, separated from Xiangyang by Fangling County. Taking down Shangyong is very important to Jingzhou, but for us in Hanzhong, it is like a row of steel teeth, which can bite people when advancing, and stick to them when retreating. Sir, I have been thinking about Shangyong for a long time! '

In fact, what Zhang Lu meant was very clear. He was implying to himself that the Hanzhong Army should capture Shangyong, and Yang Song understood one thing. Zhang Wei suddenly proposed to occupy Shangyong a month ago.

At that time, this suggestion came out of nowhere. Although they also heard rumors that Jingzhou was going to seize Hanzhong, how could such a rude person like Zhang Wei think of taking the initiative to seize Shangyong?

Looking at it now, that was Zhang Lu's intention at all. He used Zhang Wei's mouth to test everyone. Seeing that there was no response from everyone, he stopped mentioning it, but Zhang Lu kept thinking about it. [

How should I deal with it?

The carriage arrived at Yang Song's mansion, Yang Song got out of the car, and immediately ordered to the left and right: "Let Meng Da come to the study to see me immediately!"

Meng Da's current status is the commander of Yang Song's trilogy, commanding Yang Song's [-] private army trilogy. He came to Hanzhong to join Yang Song as Zhang Song's confidant, because Zhang Song's killing made him implicated and had to flee Bashu.

Yang Song firmly believed in this point, and it was true, but Meng Da concealed the fact that he had taken refuge in Liu Jing, and only said that during that time he hid in the home of Shangyong's relatives to avoid the limelight.

Meng Da experienced trials on the way to escort the goods to Guanzhong, and also gained Yang Song's trust. He regarded him as a confidant, and would discuss many things with him.

Meng Da got the news that Yang Song wanted to see him, so he walked all the way quickly, came to Yang Song's study, and bowed to report: "The last general, Meng Da, wants to see him!"

"General Meng, please come in!"

Meng Da walked into the study. Yang Song was sitting behind the desk reading a book. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "General Meng, please sit down!"

Although Meng Da served as the commander of Yang Song's trilogy, Yang Song's trilogy was also part of the Hanzhong Army, so Zhang Lu also recognized his military status and named him Yajiang.

Meng Da is both civil and military, and he is a rare commander-in-chief. Zhang Lu also thinks highly of him, but because of Yang Song's face, it is not easy to directly pull him under his command.

"Thank you sir!"

Meng Da sat down, Yang Song sighed and said, "Do you remember what I told you a month ago? About Shangyong."

Meng Da's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he has come. In fact, before Yang Song can find him, he will find an opportunity to mention this matter to Yang Song in the next two days. Jingzhou has ordered him to come, and he must facilitate Hanzhong's attack on Shangyong as soon as possible. .

Meng Da nodded, "The general will remember that it was Captain Zhang who proposed to preemptively seize Shangyong, but there was no news after that."

"There is another news today."

Yang Song smiled wryly and said, "Today the prefect asked me to discuss it in detail, and I found out that Zhang Wei's so-called proposal to capture Shangyong was actually the prefect's own idea. It was he who wanted to capture Shangyong."

Speaking of this, Yang Song glanced at Meng Da and found that he was deep in thought, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "What is General Meng thinking?"

"The general is wondering if the eunuch mentioning Shangyong again at this time has something to do with Jingzhou's use of troops in Jingnan?"

"You're right!"

Yang Song smiled approvingly: "The prefect really thinks this is an opportunity to seize Shangyong, General Meng, what do you think of this matter?"

Meng Da leaned forward and said, "To be honest, sir, my brother happened to go to Shangyong during the New Year. On the one hand, he was visiting his uncle, and on the other hand, I asked him to check on Shangyong's information."

"Oh! What information?" Yang Song asked with great interest.

"Military secrets can't be found, but one thing is known, because Jingzhou is going to conquer Jingnan and deploy troops from all over Jingzhou. Shangyong originally garrisoned [-] troops, but most of them were sent away. Now there are only more than [-] people left. If The eunuch really wants to seize Shangyong, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Yang Song became a little excited. He knew Zhang Lu very well. Since Zhang Lu had mentioned capturing Shangyong for the second time, it showed that he had already made up his mind. The key was that he had to play a leading role in this matter in order to keep His position is not weakened.

Originally Yang Song was only worried about Jingzhou's revenge, but Meng Da told him the secret, which doubled Yang Song's confidence and forgot the strength of Jingzhou. Yong?"

Meng Da sighed and said, "The last time I went to Guanzhong, I heard that Ma Chao had already had close contact with Liu Jing. Cao Cao would never let Ma Chao get Guanzhong. It should be this year. Cao Cao will definitely attack Liu Jing." Ma Chao, in order to support Ma Chao, seizing Hanzhong became Liu Jing's inevitable choice, so I'm sure, after Liu Jing conquered Jingnan and eradicated Liu Bei's worries, the next step is to attack Hanzhong, and it is likely to launch an attack on Hanzhong in autumn Therefore, the prefect would think of preemptive strikes, capture Shangyong, and build a solid defense, I think this is a wise move."

Yang Song looked up at the roof, wondering what he was thinking, and asked for a while, "If General Meng is to lead the troops to attack Shangyong, how sure is General Meng?"

Meng Da smiled slightly: "If I lead the troops to attack Shangyong, I only need [-] troops, and I don't know how to attack by force. If I attack Shangyong, I can capture Shangyong within three days."

Yang Song was overjoyed, "So, general, please follow me to see the prefect."

"Now?" Meng Da asked in amazement.

Yang Song nodded, "It's now!"

In the lobby of the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Lu was discussing with a group of civil and military ministers to attack Shangyong. He had been planning this matter for more than a month. As the main force of the Jingzhou army attacked Jingnan, this gave Zhang Lu a good opportunity to capture Shangyong , finally made him make up his mind.

There were seven or eight people sitting on both sides of the lobby, including Yan Pu, Zhang Lu's counselor, Yang Song, the chief in charge of government affairs, Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei, Zhang Lu's younger brothers who held military power, and Yang Ang, Yang Ren, generals, and Yang Song's younger brother, Yang Song, who joined the army. cypress.

Zhang Lu glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "The ancients said that mediocrity is disturbing. Yongguo has been a rich land east of Hanzhong since ancient times. The terrain is dangerous and the population is large. It is also the east gate of Hanzhong. I have been thinking about it for a long time. , but due to our national policy of defense and self-defense, although I have the intention, I will not attack it, but now that Liu Jing wants to occupy Hanzhong, he wants to seize Guanzhong, and threatens our survival, then we must not sit idly by!"

Zhang Lu's voice was very stern, his voice was like a loud bell, echoing in the hall, and there were crows and sparrows in the hall, he looked solemnly, and looked at everyone one by one, "If you want to keep Guanzhong, you must preemptively seize Shangyong, I have established a strong defense line in Shangyong, and I have decided to attack Shangyong, but how to fight, I want to discuss with you again."

As soon as Zhang Lu finished speaking, Zhang Wei stood up and said proudly: "This battle is mine. I am willing to lead an army of [-] to capture Shangyong within ten days. Please give me the permission of the prefect!"

Zhang Lu didn't respond, he looked at the crowd again, and seeing the contempt in Yang Song's eyes, he asked, "Yang Changshi, what plan do you have?"

Yang Song stood up and saluted slightly: "Report to the prefect, Meng Da, the leader of my trilogy, told me today that he only needs five thousand troops at most, and he can take Hanzhong within three days."

There was an uproar in the lobby, Zhang Wei blushed and said angrily: "Nonsense, Shangyong City is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, why can 5000 people win it, let Meng Da speak for himself!"

Zhang Lu knew that Meng Da was a capable person, since he said that, there must be a reason, Zhang Lu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Yang Changshi, let General Meng talk about it! I also really want to know his plan .”

Yang Song wholeheartedly wanted to "insert" his power into the military, this time was a good opportunity, of course he would not let it go easily, he immediately turned back and told the guards, "Please let General Meng go to court."

After a while, Meng Da walked quickly into the lobby, knelt down on one knee and saluted, "The last general, Meng Da, will see the prefect!"

Zhang Wei was about to scold him angrily, but Zhang Lu waved his hand, blocking Zhang Wei's words. He smiled and asked Meng Da, "I heard from Yang Changshi that you only need 5000 people, and you can conquer the Shang Dynasty within three days." Yong, is this true?"

Meng Da said proudly: "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. At the beginning of the month, I heard from Yang Changshi that the prefect wanted to win Shangyong, so I gave my brother a chance to visit relatives in Shangyong and inquired about Shangyong's army, because the Jingzhou army aggressively attacked Jingnan. , Dispatch troops from various places, and most of Shangyong's [-] defenders have been transferred away, leaving only a thousand people."

After saying these words, there was a burst of exclamation in the hall, even Zhang Wei looked at Meng Da in disbelief, Zhang Lu narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "General Meng, please continue!"

Meng Da nodded and continued: "At present, Shangyong is commanded by general Wei Yan. Wei Yan is arrogant and does not want to be inferior to others. He lost Chaisang City because of dissatisfaction. This person is good at attacking. , but not good at defense, as long as we take advantage of his defensive loopholes, we can easily win Shangyong."

"well said!"

Zhang Lu exclaimed, and immediately ordered: "Bring the map!"

After a while, several guards took the map of Shangyong and hung it on a wooden stand. Meng Da pointed to a small city opposite Shangyong and said, "Yongnan City is on the other side of Shangyong. It used to be the city where Jingzhou Army and Cao Army confronted each other. After Shangyong, Yongnan City was basically abandoned, but it was the only way for the Jingzhou defenders to withdraw to Xiangyang. We can overcome the water blockage and use a small number of troops disguised as bandits to seize Yongnan City first, which made Wei Yan feel the way out If he is cut off, he will definitely send troops to take back Yongnan City, and then Shangyong will be empty."

"Sure enough!"

Zhang Lu was full of praise, "Sure enough, he is a good fighter, a great achievement!"

Zhang Wei next to him hated him and said loudly: "I can also use this strategy to capture Shangyong. I only need two days to capture Shangyong. I would like to issue a military order!"

Zhang Lu glanced at Yan Pu, the counselor, and asked for his opinion. Yan Pu said indifferently: "General Meng is a talented general, and he should be given a chance to serve the prefect."

Zhang Lu immediately understood Yan Pu's meaning, and it was a pity to let Meng Da be the commander of Yang Song's trilogy. Taking advantage of this opportunity to let him become his direct general, Zhang Lu angrily scolded Zhang Wei, "This is the son of General Meng." What does it have to do with you!"

Zhang Wei was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore, Zhang Lu immediately said to Meng Da: "General Meng, I will make you the Sima of another department, and I will give you five thousand troops to conquer Shangyong. I hope you will not let me down."

"The last will obey!"
