Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398 Entering the Jiameng Pass (1)

Liu Zhang surrendered, and the news that Cao Ang led the Yizhou herds reached Li Song's ears. Li Song was very angry. Profit from it.

Who would have thought that Ma Chao would not fight him, but surrendered directly to Cao Ang, and Liu Zhang was even more vulnerable, and finally opened the door to surrender, and surrendered Yizhou to Cao Ang.

Li Song hurriedly convened a civil and military discussion.

"Now, Ma Chao has surrendered Cao Ang, which has made Cao Ang even more powerful, and Liu Zhang has surrendered Yizhou to Cao Ang. Now Cao Ang's army has reached [-]. Let's talk about why Liu Zhang is so vulnerable." Li Song said to Wenwu.

"Duke Tang! Liu Zhang is cowardly by nature! It is not incomprehensible that he would surrender to Cao Ang."

"My lord, I heard that Liu Zhang's subordinates are engaged in Zheng Du, and they once offered Liu Zhang a strategy to destroy Cao Ang, but unfortunately Liu Zhang didn't adopt it at all." Zhang Weidao, Zhang Lu's younger brother, General Zhaoyi.

"Oh! I don't know what the plan is? It was able to destroy Cao Ang?" Li Song asked in his heart, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a possibility, but he didn't know if it was the same as what he had read in the later books.

Zhang Weidao: Zheng Du said to Liu Zhang that although Cao Ang attacked the city and seized the land, it is a pity that his lack of troops is his shortcoming. The soldiers are not attached, the wild valleys are capital, and the army has no supplies. , its storehouses and eagles and wild valleys were all burned down, deep ditches and high fortifications, waiting for it quietly. "

"If he comes to ask for a fight, he is not allowed to fight. He has no money for a long time, but within a hundred days, the soldier will go away by himself. I will take advantage of the false attack and Cao Ang will capture him."

"But Liu Zhang said otherwise. I have only heard of resisting the enemy to calm the people. I have never heard of mobilizing the people to prepare for the enemy. This statement is not a measure of security."

"I never thought that Liu Zhang would be so pedantic. No wonder it would lead to such a result in the end. It's really ridiculous!" Li Song laughed.

"That's right! Ma Chao came to vote in the past, why did he let him guard Jiameng Pass? Isn't Jiameng Pass Liu Zhang's territory?"

After Zhang Lu heard this, he was a little embarrassed. After thinking about his words, Zhang Lu cupped his hands and said, "It is said that Fazheng betrayed Liu Zhang and took refuge in Cao Ang. In a rage, Liu Zhang sent his wife and younger brother Fei Guan to guard Let Mianzhu lead the army with Li Yan."

"After Fei Guan and Li Yan ordered [-] troops to defend Mianzhu, Dong He, the prefect of Yizhou, wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, asking him to borrow troops from Hanzhong." Zhang Lu told Li Song all the details.

Li Song suddenly realized!It turned out that Liu Zhang was worried that Zhang Lu would not borrow troops, so he said to Dong He: "Zhang Lu and I are world enemies, how could he send troops to rescue me?"

But Dong He said to Liu Zhang: "Although Zhang Lu and I have a grudge against me, Cao Ang's army is in Luocheng, and the situation is in danger. It is impossible for Zhang Lu not to know the truth, and explain the serious relationship to him clearly. Surely he would agree."

Liu Zhang was still a little worried!Said: "What if he is still indifferent after explaining the great relationship?"

Dong He said again, "If it is clear that Zhang Lu is not willing to come to help, the lord can give him the twenty prefectures of Xichuan, and he will definitely send troops when the time comes."

"After all, there are no permanent friends or enemies in this world, only permanent benefits. As long as the lord gives enough benefits, Zhang Lu's reinforcements will surely be invited."

Liu Zhang was reluctant to cut off the land of twenty states in Xichuan. After Dong He's repeated persuasion, Liu Zhang was very reluctant to write a book and sent an envoy to Hanzhong, asking Zhang Lu to send troops to Hanzhong, and explained that as long as Zhang Lu could help him defeat the Cao Angjun ceded the twenty states of Xichuan to him.

After receiving Liu Zhang's letter, Zhang Lu was overjoyed. He had been coveting the twenty prefectures of Xichuan for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't get them. Now that Liu Zhang was about to cede the land, how could he not be excited.

But after he was happy, he couldn't help feeling a little melancholy and didn't know who to send. Just when he was in trouble, Ma Chao volunteered to go, and Zhang Lu was naturally overjoyed.

Ever since Ma Chao joined Zhang Lu, he has been worrying about how to arrange Ma Chao. Even his own father can cheat, let alone Zhang Lu.

The pay was low, and he was afraid of offending Ma Chao, fearing that if he quit, others would think he was incapable of dealing with it. When he was in a dilemma, Liu Zhang's request for help arrived, and Ma Chao also volunteered to help Zhang Lu share the burden. Naturally, Zhang Lu would not let go of this vested interest, and he was able to arrange good things for Ma Chao.

In the end, Zhang Lu readily agreed, and with a wave of his hand, he asked Ma Chao to take [-] troops to Jiameng Pass to guard the pass for Liu Zhang, and attack Cao Ang's army at any time. Zhang Lu never dreamed that things would change into this.

Li Song blamed Zhang Lu a little in his heart. A good Yizhou dungeon originally only needed Liu Zhang and Cao Ang to level up and fight monsters easily after both of them were injured. Unexpectedly, Zhang Lu’s arrangement made the dungeon upgrade from simple mode to hell model.

But you can't blame him for these, after all, no one expected such a result, Xichuan Twenty States is indeed mouth-watering, not to mention Zhang Lu, even if it was him, he would not be able to withstand such a temptation.

"Duke Tang, I'm guilty! Please punish me!" Zhang Lu said, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, pressing his forehead to the ground, and pleaded guilty to Li Song!I'm afraid that Li Song will be unhappy and wipe out his whole family.

"Okay! This matter has nothing to do with you. What crime are you asking for? Since you are innocent, how can I punish you? Get up!" Li Song said.

"Thank you Tang Gong!" Zhang Lu thanked him, but just now he was scared to death, and his back was soaked, but these were all the results of Zhang Lu's random suspicion. Li Song didn't say anything from the beginning to the end. Hastily stepped forward to help Zhang Lu up.

"The top priority is how we should deal with this matter, and send people to Yizhou to contact Fazheng and Mengda, and let them respond internally." Li Song said, these two are Zhang Song's confidantes, Zhang Song is close to him, they The two are naturally the same.

"Duke Tang! Now that Cao Ang has newly acquired Yizhou, his foundation is not stable, and the people of Shu have not yet returned to their hearts. They should quickly attack and attack, and they will surely collapse. Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country. If the people of Shu settle down and guard the pass, it will be too late!"

"Also, Fazheng and Meng Da are not willing to submit to the imperial court like Zhang Song, but they have taken refuge with Cao Ang." The chief secretary Liu Ye came out and bowed his hands.

Li Song was taken aback. Didn't the Fazheng couple in history get along with Zhang Song enough to wear a pair of trousers?Why did I become a passerby when it was my turn? Did I take the wrong script? The plot is wrong!
