Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376 Liu Zhang's Worries

In Hanzhong, while Zhang Lu and Ma Chao were flirting with each other, while staring at Shuzhong, he had the stance of directing his troops to take Yizhou.

When Liu Zhang learned that Zhang Lu intended to take Yizhou and make himself king, he was frightened to death. He was very worried that Zhang Lu would really seize Xichuan with his troops, so he hurriedly summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with it.

On the surface, Yizhou seems to be calm, but in fact, the tide is surging. In the early years when Liu Zhang had just succeeded to the throne, his subordinates rebelled, and Liu Zhang sent troops to suppress it, which seriously injured Yizhou's vitality.

Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou, is also a cowardly person by nature. In addition, there are outsiders like Cao Ang, and Zhang Lu who is eyeing Hanzhong.

Yizhou is a dangerous place with vast and fertile land. It is a place with superior natural conditions, rich products, and dangerous situation. Liu Zhang is dark and weak, and the people's life is rich, but they don't know how to cherish it!

Therefore, there are not a few people who spy on Yizhou. After all, its lord is a weak Liu Zhang, so everyone wants to seize Yizhou.

Liu Zhang sits on the main seat, and a group of civil and military officers sits on both sides. The military generals group is dominated by the four generals of Xichuan, and the civil official group is dominated by Zhang Song and Fazheng.

"Gu, I received a report from Pang Xi! Zhang Lu and his younger brother Zhang Wei raised an army of [-] to seize my Xichuan. They couldn't sleep at night, didn't think about food and drink, and didn't know what to do! Do you have any good strategies?" Liu Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. , The big fat face is full of worry.

After Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, who was originally attached to Liu Yan, was arrogant and did not listen to Liu Zhang's orders, so Liu Zhang killed Zhang Lu's mother and brother, and the two became enemies. Liu Zhang sent Pang Xi to attack Zhang Lu, but was defeated by Zhang Lu many times.

"My lord, don't worry! I have rich products in Yizhou, and the Dongzhou army is even more elite. If Zhang Lu dares to invade Xichuan, he will never come back." Liu Gui, one of the four generals of Xichuan, came out to salute, and the four generals of Xichuan They are all main fighters.

"I don't know who should lead the troops. It is appropriate. Pang Xi, the prefect of Bajun, fought against Zhang Lu several times, but was defeated by him. I don't know who can win this important task?" Liu Zhang asked. He had a grudge against Zhang Lu, didn't he You die, I die. Although Liu Zhang is cowardly and suspicious, he is not stupid. He knows that if Zhang Lu is not eliminated, he will never have peace, so he naturally agrees with the suggestion of sending troops to fight Zhang Lu.

It's just that the leading general is very important. First of all, he must be loyal to himself, and second, he must have the ability to defeat Zhang Lu. Otherwise, it would be useless to send him there.

"My lord, Pang Xi, the prefect of Berkshire, is a civil servant. It's okay for you to let him deal with the people's livelihood and politics. It's okay to write proclamations, but it's not appropriate to ask him to lead troops in battle." road.

"Leng Bao is right. It is most suitable for us to lead the army. If the lord does not dislike it, I am willing to lead the army against Zhang Lu." Deng Xian, one of the four generals of Xichuan, came out. , clasped his fists and bowed in begging for his life.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I have Qing to share my worries! I am at peace in my heart, and I will appoint Qing as the general to fight against the North from now on, and lead [-] troops to fight against Zhang Lu."

The four generals of Xichuan are the four most powerful generals under Liu Zhang's command. They are the most powerful generals compared with Yuan Shu's men. These are the only ones under Liu Zhang who can stand up to the stage, and there are really no one.

"Thank you, my lord! I will swear allegiance to my lord to the death!" Deng Xian hurriedly knelt down and said joyfully.

"Slow down! My lord, you must not engage in military violence at this time." Suddenly a man came out proudly and saluted. Zhang Song was planning to go to Chang'an to present the geographical map of Xichuan to Li Song as a show of surrender. How could Liu Zhang be allowed to send troops to attack Zhang Lu.

Liu Zhang saw that the person who spoke was his subordinate Bie Jia who was engaged in Zhang Song. Liu Zhang was puzzled and asked, "Why did Bie Jia prevent Gu from sending troops to attack the rebellious minister Zhang Lu?"

Zhang Lu was originally attached to his old man Liu Yan, and he can be regarded as an old minister of his Liu family. It was only because Liu Zhang was cowardly that Zhang Lu felt that he could be bullied, so he rebelled against Liu Zhang, which caused Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother to form an alliance Therefore, it is not wrong for Liu Zhang to say that Zhang Lu is a rebellious minister.

Zhang Song laughed and said: "My lord, why do Zhang Lu care about it! Why do you need to go to war? Although someone is not talented, Zhang Lu dare not look at Xichuan with his three-inch tongue, which is better than a hundred thousand troops. "

Although Zhang Song was born with a pointed forehead, a stiff nose and exposed teeth, a short body of less than five feet, and a speech like a bronze bell, he was a resourceful and resourceful adviser under Liu Zhang's command, and he was always relied on by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard that there was such a good thing, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any good ideas that can relieve Zhang Lu's danger?"

Zhang Songdao: "I heard that Li Song, the prime minister of the imperial court, swept the Central Plains. Lu Bu and Er Yuan were all wiped out. He also smashed Ma Chao and smashed the Jiangdong navy on the Yangtze River. The land of the six counties in Jiangdong has already fallen into his hands."

"It's only a matter of time before the Eastern Wu collapses. Let me ask who is his opponent in the world. The lord can prepare something to offer. The minister personally went to Chang'an and said that Li Songxing took Hanzhong to plan Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu will then be busy fighting the enemy. , how can you have the time to spy on me in Yizhou?"

Liu Zhang was overjoyed. In this way, he could borrow someone else's knife and kill Zhang Lu once and for all without spending a single soldier. Wouldn't it be better? Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile, but he didn't think of it Yes, once Zhang Lu is destroyed, he will be the next one.

"Okay! Just as Biejia said! I will order people to pack up the gold, pearls and brocades as a gift, and Biejia will go to Chang'an to pay a visit to foreign aid." Zhang Ludao, but he didn't know that he had always relied on him. Don't drive, even harboring evil intentions.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Song was overjoyed, and when he was about to respond, someone stopped him. This person was Zhuge Liang, Cao Ang's military adviser, who now works for Yizhou, and his master Cao Ang is also among them, a general under Liu Zhang's command.

Liu Zhang looked at it and asked, "I don't know why you are blocking it?"

"General, did you ever think that Li Song's army is strong and his generals are like a cloud, if Zhang Lu's territory is captured by Li Song, it would be more convenient for Li Song to attack our Bashu land. May I ask, who in Yizhou can resist him? " Zhuge Liang said.

"My lord! Zhuge is right in what he said! Inviting Li Song as a foreign aid is undoubtedly luring wolves into the house! Yizhou will be in danger then, please think twice, lord." Zhang Ren, the first of Xichuan's four generals, came out and saluted with fists.

Zhuge Liang wholeheartedly sought Yizhou for Cao Ang, so how could he watch Zhang Song, a traitor seeking glory, lure wolves into his house? Naturally, he had to try his best to stop it.

Since Cao Ang and others entered Shu, they have been constantly buying people's hearts. Zhuge Liang is also good at confusing Liu Zhang. The civil and military forces in Yizhou have always been wary of them, but today they have a rare united front. After all, Li Song is much more terrifying than outsiders like Cao Ang. They had to stick together.

hateful!Zhang Song was very annoyed that these bastards dared to spoil my good deeds!He hated Zhuge Liang and Zhang Ren even more.

Liu Zhang frowned after hearing this, wondering if Zhang Song had sold him out, feeling a little unhappy, and hurriedly asked, "Don't drive! What they said is the truth, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Song, as Liu Zhang's resourceful and resourceful advisor, naturally couldn't be knocked down by them in a few words.
