Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 231 The Argument Between Zhang Wei and Yang Song
but said
Zhang Wei was escorted back to Hanzhong. Although he tried his best to explain, Zhang Lu still did not let go of his doubts and was put under house arrest without any contact with the outside world.

Seeing Yang Song's wretched face, he knew what was going on, but he was powerless to defend himself, felt sad, and accepted the house arrest. He only prayed that Yang Bai didn't go out of the city to meet the enemy. There is a trace of vitality, otherwise.

however.

On the second day after Zhang Wei was put under house arrest, three consecutive battle reports were sent to Hanzhong, causing all the officials to panic.

Even Yang Song was stunned, unable to accept the facts.

In the first battle report, Yang Bai led his army out of the pass to meet the enemy, but was ambushed by the Jingzhou army. Yang Bai died in battle, and Jiameng Pass was breached by the Jingzhou army. Forty thousand soldiers and horses came to Hanzhong.

In the second battle report, Wei Yan and others led [-] soldiers and horses to raid Yangping Pass. Generals Yang Ang and Yang Ren were beheaded by Wei Yan alone. Yangping Pass fell, and more than [-] soldiers and horses came to Hanzhong.

In the third battle report, Liu Qi's general Huang Zhong led five thousand vanguard troops, broke through Bajun all the way, subdued general Yan Yan, and rushed all the way to Luocheng. Liu Qi personally led the army and settled the captured Yizhou city along the way. Stabilize the rear.

The third battle report can be said to have nothing to do with their Hanzhong, but it can also be said to have something to do with it. After all, they still understand the truth that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. Won't be around for long.

Therefore, Zhang Wei was also released to discuss countermeasures.

You don't need to pay much attention to the battle situation in Xichuan, but you have to deal with the two Jingzhou armies coming from Jiameng Pass and Yangping Pass first. Those two Jingzhou armies came straight to Hanzhong. How long will it be before the soldiers come to the city.

"Jingzhou's army came aggressively. They broke through Jiameng Pass and secretly attacked Yangping Pass. Now they are under attack. What should we do?" Zhang Lu asked in a panic.

He also regretted it very much at this time, if he hadn't listened to the words of the envoy sent by Cao Cao before, sent troops to attack Shangyong City, but still got nothing, and let Liu Qi find a reason to send troops, otherwise there might not be today's disaster.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is self-inflicted!
"My lord, why don't I ask Jingzhou for peace? Didn't they say that we would go to Yongcheng with our army? Then bear the humiliation first, bow to Jingzhou, pay compensation, let Jingzhou retreat, and wait for the opportunity to avenge today!" Yang Song stood up and cupped his hands.

Although he was a little sad when he heard that Yang Bo died in battle, he still had to think about himself. You must know the policies of Jingzhou. With an official like him, once Hanzhong is destroyed, all his property will be confiscated, and he will be demoted to a commoner. Kill, no matter which one, he can't accept it.

"Master Yang's words are wrong!" one person stood up and said.

Everyone saw that it was Zhang Wei who had just been released from house arrest.

Zhang Wei looked at Yang Song disdainfully, and said: "Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Qi is ambitious, and it's just an excuse for him to send troops to Yongcheng. Even if I want to ask for peace, Liu Qi will not agree. His purpose is to win Take down the entire land of Yizhou, otherwise, the army will not divide into two groups, attacking my land in Hanzhong all the way, and taking the land of Xichuan all the way!"

He has long disobeyed Yang Song, but Yang Song is Zhang Lu's most trusted minister, and Yang Bai has a large army in his hands, so he has no room to speak at all. Even if he persuades Zhang Lu to suppress the two brothers Yang Song, Zhang Lu also didn't take it seriously, and let the two brothers Yang Song grow up.

"Then I don't know what general Zhang's solution is?" Yang Song said dissatisfied.

Hmph, Zhang Rang snorted and ignored Yang Song.

Yang Song saw it and hated it in his heart. If Zhang Wei hadn't been Zhang Lu's younger brother, Zhang Wei had been against him all the time, and he would have killed him on a trumped-up charge.

Zhang Wei ignored the angry Yang Song, and cupped his hands to Zhang Lu, saying, "My lord, there are still [-] elite soldiers in the city, enough to withstand Jingzhou's soldiers and horses. You can also send envoys to Chengdu to ask Liu Zhang for help. I understand the truth that if the land of Hanzhong falls into the hands of Jingzhou, they, Xichuan, will also be attacked, and we can promise that as long as we defeat the Jingzhou army here, we will also send troops to help them break Liu Qi's army!"

heard.

Zhang Lu, who had a flustered expression on his face, also became thoughtful, thinking about the possibility.

"Huh, that's easy to say!" Yang Song broke Zhang Lu's contemplation, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Liu Zhang and we have always had hatred. If Liu Zhang wanted to unite, he would have sent envoys when he declared war in Jingzhou." Come to unite, now Bajun is in the hands of Jingzhou, Liu Qi's army is approaching Luocheng, Liu Zhang is too late to defend his own territory, how can he send troops to help!"

"One moment and another, if you haven't tried it, how will you know the result!" Zhang Wei retorted.

The two are fighting each other for their own reasons.

Zhang Lu was also said to be vacillating.

"My lord, even if Hanzhong can't hold it, we can still set fire to all the grain warehouses, run out of Nanshan, retreat to Bachuan and other places, and if we can't hold on, Jingzhou will not hold on to us because it wants to seize the land of Yizhou. I will definitely take the Jiange and head to Luocheng, so it will be time for me to regroup!" Zhang Wei said.

The voice fell.

Zhang Lu's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. He obviously thought of the key point. If Jingzhou really wants to take over the entire land of Yizhou, then he won't waste much time here, as long as he retreats to Bachuan Wait for the place and get out of the way. In this way, he will have a chance to make a comeback.

Seeing Zhang Lu's expression, Yang Song was startled, cupped his hands and said, "Master!"

However, Zhang Lu stopped him before he finished speaking.

Zhang Lu waved his hand and said, "Just do what General Zhang said. Let Yan Pu send an envoy to Chengdu and ask Liu Zhang for reinforcements. If he refuses, if he can't hold on to Hanzhong, then retreat to Bachuan and other places and let the Jingzhou army go there. Make arrangements as soon as possible!"

"No!" Everyone clapped their hands.

Seeing that Zhang Lu could follow his advice, Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It was impossible to seek peace from Jingzhou, unless it was a surrender, then Jingzhou would agree.

Yang Song was also unwilling. He stared at Zhang Wei with hatred in his heart. Zhang Wei's suggestion was to prepare to fight Jingzhou to the end. In this way, if the Jingzhou army was not going to let Zhang Lu go, they would chase him to Bachuan and other places. , after defeat, he will surely die.

He didn't want to put his life on those uncertain factors. Even if the Jingzhou army detoured to Jiange, killed Luocheng, and took Yizhou, they would eventually turn around and deal with the land of Hanzhong.

Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Zhang Wei didn't take it seriously, and discussed with Yan Pu about going to Chengdu to ask for reinforcements, and discussing with the rest of the generals about resisting the two Jingzhou armies.
