Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 415 Before the war
Li Song's conjecture was good, and Zhuge Liang not only did this, but in order to better monitor Liu Zhang, he directly sent someone to "invite" him to Chengdu.

As for why Zhuge Liang didn't kill Liu Zhang directly, let's do it once and for all!That's because the current control over Shu is unstable, and killing Liu Zhang may have a counterproductive effect. If this is the case, the gain will outweigh the loss!

The existence of Liu Zhang can promote the benevolence and righteousness of Cao Jun. In this way, it is more conducive to controlling the hearts of the people in Shu. Compared with the two, he chose to keep Liu Zhang instead of killing him.

The person sent to invite Liu Zhang was already on the way, accompanied by [-] troops, in order to prevent Li Song from sending troops from Jingzhou, so that he would be attacked from both sides, and the leading general was Cao Ang's brother-Cao Pi.

Li Song looked at the generals in front of him and said, "I don't know who will lead the troops from Jingzhou to attack Shu all the way?"

Basically all the generals under his command were brought to Hanzhong by himself to attack Cao Ang's army. Most of those who stayed in Xuchang had important responsibilities and could not leave. If they sent people back from here, they would have to circle around again. It's all cold.

"Mr. Tang, our army is basically in Hanzhong. Xuchang is where the capital is located. The generals guarding the capital cannot be easily transferred. I think it is better to dispatch Xuanweihou and General Zhang Xiu of Poqiang to lead the army from Jingzhou." A prime minister's mansion said. The subordinate officials came out and bowed their hands in a salute.

At this time, Marquis Xuanwei and General Zhang Xiu of Po Qiang happened to be in Wancheng, and Wei Yan was also in Jingzhou. It would be a good idea to let Zhang Xiu lead the army.

"Okay! This is feasible! Immediately order people to go to Jingzhou, order Zhang Xiu, Marquis of Xuanwei, to lead [-] troops, and all officials in Jingzhou will coordinate to launch an attack on Yizhou from Jingzhou." Li Song directly made a decision. this matter.

In order to deal with Jiangdong, Li Song hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Jingzhou, and left an army of 20 in Jingzhou. In addition to Jingzhou's original non-local army, the total force reached 40. As long as Zhang Xiu leads [-] troops , not too much.

After arranging this matter, the next step is about how to secretly communicate with Liu Zhang, and who is the best person to send. Although he knows that Liu Zhang can play a very small role, but anyway, as long as he can play a little role, he must Do it, so as to expand the benefits.

"I don't know who is more appropriate to deal with Liu Zhang's matter!" Li Song looked at everyone, hoping that someone would volunteer to stand up, patted his chest, and vowed that he was willing to share Tang Gong's worries!Do not hesitate to die!

pity!No one is willing to volunteer to stand up and solve problems for Mr. Tang!Do not hesitate to die!

No one took the initiative, so I had to call the roll, who should I call?After scanning around the crowd, Li Song stayed on Yang Xiu. In the end, Li Song decided to let Yang Xiu go. After all, he was the one who proposed this matter.

"De Zu! I have to think again and again! I decided to persuade Liu Zhang to join forces with our army to fight against Cao Ang. Is it appropriate for you to go there after all? What do you think?" Li Song smiled slightly.

"My lord, I hope that Duke Tang will do his best and die! I also hope that Duke Tang can promise! Add officials to Liu Zhang! In this way, I will be more confident in persuading Liu Zhang to submit to the court and fight against traitors together!" Seeing Li Song's name call, Yang Xiu Ask him to contact Liu Zhang, and hurriedly stand out and bow his hands.

"It's natural, and you will have full power to deal with this matter. As long as Liu Zhang is willing to submit to the court, I will play the role of the emperor and make Liu Zhang the king of Shu. There will be no hereditary replacement! And Yizhou will be made a fief for him." Li Song directly Throw a bombshell.

Even if Liu Zhang became the king of Shu, he would only be an empty title with no actual rights. Although Liu Zhang would be the master of Yizhou, it would be only in name, and the ownership of Yizhou would still be in Li Song's hands.

At that time, it is hard to say whether Liu Zhang will stay in Yizhou or not. He can move all his family to Xuchang to partner with Emperor Xiandi Liu of the Han Dynasty.

As soon as Li Song finished speaking, everyone became restless. They all stood up one after another, spitting all over the place, trying to persuade Li Song not to do this, how harmful it would be, and so on.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. After Liu Zhang surrendered to the court, he was proclaimed King of Shu! Choose a place in Xuchang that is closer to the imperial palace to build the Shu Palace for him. In this way, he can still go to the palace."

"Being with the Son of Heaven will prevent the Son of Heaven from being lonely in the palace! As for Yizhou, let Liu Zhang take Yizhou from a distance." Li Song smiled and reached out his hand to stop everyone's commotion.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after Li Song finalized everything, Yang Xiu got up to leave!After going back to clean up, he quietly went to Fucheng to contact Liu Zhang secretly.

The next step is to send troops to Jiameng Pass, first drag the defenders of Jiameng Pass to Jiameng Pass, and delay the time for Zhang Xiu's army and Yang Xiu who are going to Fucheng. Of course, when necessary, an attack is also necessary The first section, after all, the war opportunity is fleeting!Who knows when the Jiameng Gate will be breached?

After some arrangements, with Zhang Yun and Gao Lan as the forwards, leading [-] troops, they went to Jiameng Pass first.

Chang Yuchun commanded [-] soldiers from the right, Tan Daoji commanded [-] soldiers from the left, and Xiang Yu commanded [-] soldiers from the rear. Together with the other generals, he led the [-] soldiers from the central army to attack Jiameng. close.

In Fucheng, after traveling day and night, Cao Pi and his party came to Fucheng first. Cao Pi directly led [-] soldiers to Fuguan to inspect the situation of the customs.

On the other side, the soldiers under Zhuge Liang's order went to Liu Zhang's general's mansion and invited Liu Zhang's family to their hometown Chengdu.

Outside the general's mansion, the captain and the captain sent by Zhuge Liang stepped forward and shouted: "Quickly go and report! I'll come here at the command of my lord! I have something important to meet with General Zhenwei."

See the menacing people!The guard at the door didn't dare to say anything, so he turned around and ran inside to report to Liu Zhang.

Not long after, Liu Xun, Liu Zhang's eldest son, came out with the guards. Liu Zhang was a general no matter how big or small, a small captain, so he was not qualified to come to greet him.

But in any case, these people were sent by the lord Cao Ang, and they were very aggressive. Liu Zhang was afraid that something bad would happen, so he sent his eldest son here. There is no need to show up.

It would be good to just send a servant out. When Liu Xun saw the captain in front of the door, he cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what orders my lord sent the captain here?"

The captain looked Liu Xun up and down, he didn't know the eldest son Liu Xun in front of him, and judging from his clothes and demeanor, he was not an ordinary person, so he asked, "I don't know who you are, my lord has important secrets to convey To General Zhenwei."
