The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213

When Zhang Song returned to Yizhou, he happened to meet Da Sikong Chen Qun.Liu Zhang's attitude towards Chen Qun was very cold.Chen Qun had contacted many Yizhou officials these days, and had a preliminary understanding of Liu Zhang's intention to send Lanpu into the Qiang.Therefore, he repeatedly expressed to Liu Zhang that Prime Minister Cao was willing to form an alliance with Yizhou to deal with Zhang Lu together.

Although Liu Zhang was indifferent, he still didn't dare to refuse completely.He is waiting for news from Zhang Song.

When Zhang Song returned to Chengdu, he didn't even care about his family, so he came to meet Liu Zhang directly.Liu Zhang was waiting in a hurry. When he heard that Zhang Song had come back, he hurriedly greeted him out of the door, and asked Zhang Song, who stepped into the door, "How is the matter going?" Zhang Song hurriedly knelt down and saluted.Liu Zhang hurriedly pulled him up: "What time is it? Sir, you still have time to kowtow. Hurry up and tell me how Yuan Xi replied."

Zhang Song raised his head and said with great joy: "Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord. Yuan Xi has already agreed to solve my lord's worries and problems. And in front of His Majesty, I will protect my lord as Yizhou Mu, Chengdu Marquis, general of the town, general of Yizhou, and Hanzhong soldier." Ma. Zhang Lu will also be coerced by the lord. He will still go crazy in the future. It’s just—just—” [Before this, Liu Zhang’s Yizhou shepherd was self-appointed and was not recognized by the court. 】

Liu Zhang just laughed, then held back.Waiting for Zhang Song, I said to myself, why are you panting so much. "Speak directly, quickly."

Zhang Songdao: "Although the prime minister awarded you a reward, your majesty treats the lord—" Liu Zhang's forehead was sweating: "Your majesty—how——" Zhang Lu sighed: "Your majesty is quite dissatisfied with the lord, and even a little angry, saying that you—say You are recruiting troops and plotting rebellion. An order has been issued for Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanning, to investigate and collect evidence. Before Song arrived in Luoyang, the imperial order was issued." In fact, Zhang Song never met Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhang was so frightened that his face turned yellow: "Your Majesty really said that? Something is created out of nothing, something out of nothing. I, Liu Jiyu, have no intention of usurping at all, this is simply groundless—"

Zhang Song sneered and said: "It may not be without reason!! My lord, Prime Minister Yuan has already explained this matter to His Majesty for you. The Prime Minister and His Majesty argued hard and sincerely. For the sake of my lord, I did not hesitate to have a dispute with Your Majesty. In the end, I reluctantly Your Majesty persuaded. The prime minister said: Liu Jiyu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He has always been in the southwest of the Han Dynasty. He is loyal and loyal. If he wants to rebel, he will have rebelled long ago. Why wait until the north has been calmed down? This is unreasonable—— —”

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Liu Zhang said palely and gratefully: "The prime minister is right, that's what he said."

Zhang Song sighed and said, "But Your Majesty has produced evidence!!" Liu Zhang said angrily, "Nonsense, I didn't rebel at all. The evidence from there was perjured regularly."

"Your Majesty took out a memorial, threw it on the ground angrily, and said to the prime minister: You can go and see for yourself. Liu Jiyu is a clan member of the Han family. So is Liu Jingsheng, and so is Jingsheng's son Liu Cong. If it is according to what you said, The clan members are all loyal ministers. How do you explain this memorial?"

"What memorial?" Liu Zhang blushed, his blood welling up.

Zhang Song said in a low voice: "Yes, Zhennan General Liu Cong participated in the memorial of the lord's rebellion. It said that the lord has committed various crimes. I ask His Majesty to allow him to lead the army to collect—"

"Ah! Little Liu Cong, why is he just like his father? You are deceiving people too much, too much. The old hatred has not been healed, and new wounds have been added. I am also mad at me." Liu Yan was mad at Liu Biao.The two actually had a feud against their father.

Zhang Song Gonghuo: "Prime Minister Yuan, use your title as a guarantor for the lord to ensure that the lord will not be rebellious. His majesty extinguished the fury of thunder. He said to me: Zhang Farewell, take this memorial back to Liu Jiyu Look, let him be more honest, or be careful with his head. For the sake of the prime minister, I don’t care about it this time. Prime Minister Yuan, stood up again and asked for a reward for the lord. He said that the lord has resisted the Qiang soldiers all these years. Invasion, quite meritorious. It must be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. But—”

Liu Zhang became angry with Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and said angrily, "But what." Zhang Song said, "Your Majesty means that there is no problem with awarding rewards. Let Prime Minister Yuan decide to handle it. However, we still have to send Zhang Lu to Sichuan to investigate."

Liu Zhang jumped up all of a sudden: "I have a grudge against Zhang Lu who killed my mother. How can he let him go and let him enter Sichuan, and my life will be over. No way. Send an order to immediately send people to guard Jiameng Pass. As soon as Zhang Lu arrives, shoot him immediately. "

Zhang Songwei said: "I'm afraid there is a suspicion of resisting the edict. Prime Minister Yuan has a plan to help the lord—" Liu Zhang's eyes flashed: "The plan will come out." Zhang Song said: "The prime minister means that the lord should personally Write a memorial, send someone to Luoyang, and explain everything to His Majesty. The prime minister will mediate from it, and His Majesty will definitely take it back."

Liu Zhang was as grateful to Prime Minister Yuan as a reborn parent, but he didn't know that the hateful Prime Minister Yuan was thinking about how to peel him off. "Okay, I'm going to write the memorial now, but whoever I send as an envoy should be sent."

Zhang Song thought, Prime Minister Yuan said that my brother Zhang Su would harm me, so it would be better to send him to Luoyang.Immediately, he showed the style of promoting talents without avoiding relatives, and saluted: "Zhang Su, the prefect of Guanghan, can take on this important task."

Liu Zhang thought to himself, after all, he is a real brother, and if there is a good thing, he will never forget it; "Okay, let's send Zhang Su there." Zhang Song frowned and said, "It seems that it is not a big problem that Prime Minister Yuan speaks for the Lord. But, Jingzhou should What should I do? Liu Cong is such an idiot, if the lord ignores it, the princes of the world will definitely laugh at him."

Liu Zhang squeezed out a sentence through his clenched teeth: "I will personally command the army to attack." Zhang Song said: "No, it is important to guard against Zhang Lu. As for Jingzhou, you can send General Liu Hao of Pingkou and Jiangzhou Governor Zhao Wei. , Junyi Xiaowei Fazhengbian General Liu Ba sent 30 troops to conquer. It will surely be a victory."

Yizhou is full of talents, and there are many generals. The most important thing under Liu Zhang is the generals who lead the troops. "Okay, order Wu Yi, Meng Da, Huang Quan, Zhang Ren to command 20 troops and Pang Xi to guard Brazil and Jiameng Pass, and form a corner to resist Zhang Lu."

Zhang Song said: "Mianzhu must be guarded, so that Zhonglang General Yinpu can lead 60 troops to garrison. This is the gateway to Chengdu, so we must have heavy troops." Zhang Song's deployment was good, and Chengdu was emptied. [-] troops left the city.There are less than [-] defenders left in Chengdu.Zhang Song thought, if he had the chance, he would come back and control Chengdu.To make great contributions to Prime Minister Yuan.

Zhang Lu had already received the imperial edict to crusade against Liu Zhang! !
Chen Lin, the imperial envoy who read out the imperial decree, held his hand tightly and said with tears in her eyes: "When you came, your majesty said more than once that Yizhou is an important place for the country, and you must not allow people to separatist and rebel. Yuan Xi is out of reach at this moment, and Liu Zhang is rebelling against the thief, so please General Zhang." Zhang Lu is better at pretending than Chen Lin, crying loudly, like a dead father: "Please rest assured, your majesty, if Zhang Lu can't share your majesty's worries, he is willing to die It's over." But he said in his heart that with the imperial decree this time, he could justifiably encroach on Liu Zhang's territory.

As soon as Chen Lin left, Zhang Lu couldn't wait to mobilize his troops. Generals Yang Bai, Yang Ang, younger brother Zhang Wei, surrendered general Zhang Liao, partial general Su Gu, other minister Sima Jiying, and son Zhang Fu, all in order to leave. Yang Song went to Jiamengguan to attack the city in order to join the army.When they arrived at Jiameng Pass, Liu Zhang had just mobilized troops there.

Zhang Liao was leading his [-] cavalry on the rugged mountain road.With a livid face, he walked while observing the surrounding mountains.Zhang Liao seemed to have dozens of old raven nests behind him, and the soldiers were chattering like they were going to a temple fair.A group of people just grabbed a ticket from a passing village.Take away all three or four villages that can be taken away.Those that can’t be taken away—like women and houses, everyone takes turns riding the former and killing them.The latter was demolished and burned.Like a group of termites, they leveled the places they passed by and gnawed away.Then, cheering like a victorious battle.This is the virtue of Zhang Lu's Hanzhong powerhouse.

This is still in his own territory. If he really enters Yizhou, he may not know how to run rampant and do something that is worse than a beast.

Zhang Liao?Zhang Liao couldn't control it, and he didn't dare to control it.Dare to be angry but dare not speak.He knows best what his identity is.A general who lives under the fence and has no fixed place and is discriminated against and excluded.It is impossible to speak in such a team that lacks management and military discipline and is no different from robbers.

The mountains in Hanzhong are barren and steep.There is almost no vegetation, only dots of drought-resistant bushes, iron-blue mountain rocks are exposed, and the weathered gravel on the mountain road rattles underfoot.If you are not careful, you may roll into a steep mountain stream. This kind of mountain is very boring and has no grass and wild flowers.There are no flying waterfalls and flowing springs, no singing of birds and beasts, and no poetic or picturesque charm.The mountain was surprisingly quiet and lifeless. Looking up, the dangerous rocks and cliffs on both sides seemed to be squeezed down at any time.

Zhang Liao's mood became more and more bad. It seemed that everything was not going well in the past few years, and the achievements he had built up in half his life were ruined.Life is frequently frustrated.Hearing recently that Cao Cao was defeated and retreated into the Western Qiang, his mood became more gloomy, and he felt inexplicably hopeless.The second and third battles of Guandu caused his reputation as a famous general to plummet.Lost Cao Cao's trust even more.This is the case in war, no matter whether your tactical command is proper or not, as long as you win, you are a hero.On the contrary, you are fucking shit, and you have become the target of public criticism.Everyone looks at you with blank eyes.

Thinking about it is useless. After escaping from Cao Ying, he hid in Tibet, disguised himself and refitted, and finally escaped to Yongzhou.After entering Chang'an, Ma Teng also agreed to take him in.But Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, just couldn't tolerate him, pointing fingers everywhere, finding faults and fighting.Swearing at the slightest, and stabbing at the severest.He knew that Ma Chao looked down on surrendered generals.I really can't stay any longer, I have no choice but to leave Meicheng and enter Hanzhong to join Zhang Lu!
What is Zhang Lu?What kind of place is Hanzhong?Zhang Liao finally figured it out.Zhang Lu is not a bad person, but he is quite suspicious.Also, he likes to pamper his subordinates.His army is a collection of robbers and scum who looted houses.They never knew what military discipline was.When robbing things, they swarm up, and when fighting, they disperse in a herd or like birds and beasts.As far as this thing is concerned, Zhang Lu even boasted that he is a powerful team of Northwest lions.In Zhang Liao's eyes, he wasn't even a fart.

Zhang Lu is a master with a discerning eye for gold, he knows how powerful Zhang Liao is, and he wholeheartedly wants to win him over and use him.However, Zhang Liao had just come here for the first time, and he still couldn't believe it.Right, Cao Cao is resourceful, what if it is his strategy?Zhang Lu thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.Marry his daughter, Zhang Zhi, to Zhang Liao.Come to win over him.Another inexplicable official position was given to Zhang Liao, which made Zhang Liao have a splitting headache when he heard it.Zhang Liao remembers that it seems to be called—all talk about sacrificial wine.Under Zhang Lu, but in name only.Zhang Lu's generals Yang Ang and Yang Bo were quite jealous of him, and they tried every means to suppress him, which made Zhang Liao miserable.Damn, what is it!

This time Zhang Liao's mission is to be a pioneer.Pioneer, Zhang Liao is no problem, he likes bloody killings to make contributions, likes to charge and be at the forefront.Only in that way can it be seen that he is the leader of the ten thousand horse army.But the militia group behind him really made him feel sick.Such an army can also fight?Nonsense, apart from stealing money and bullying women, there is nothing he can do.

The equipment of the Hanzhong Army is actually good, but the quality of individual soldiers is too poor.Looking back, Zhang Liao saw a group of hunters behind him, some carrying guns and holding knives.Laziness makes him feel compelled to kill.It is estimated that they don't even know the most basic queue.If the former Cao army had 2000 elite troops, it would be enough to deal with his [-] cavalry within an hour.

With the addition of the guy behind him, it's even more problematic.It is Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Lu.Pure dude.And a little immoral.Zhang Fu played an exemplary and leading role in the team, but he was the first to go to the school to steal money.Riding a woman, he was the first to take off his pants.Just such a young lady who can fall asleep while riding a horse.Zhang Lu actually ordered Zhang Liao to follow his orders.There is no need to fight this battle, and it will definitely be the fate of annihilation.

Zhang Lu also knew Zhang Fu's virtues.He let Zhang Fu go out with the army because he deliberately cultivated his successors.In his eyes, it is impossible for Zhang Fu's womanizer to go to the battlefield absurdly.But he underestimated this precious son too much.A large part of his potential is still hidden in his limbs and head.Waiting for the opportunity.

According to his own way of thinking, Zhang Fu guessed Zhang Liao. A famous general like Zhang Liao would not take human life and robbery of money seriously.Is he a general who is used to life and death?But he was wrong, very wrong.Zhang Liao was extremely dissatisfied with his actions.He was desperately trying to suppress the wildfire that was about to burst out of his head.

Zhang Liao seemed to be full of murderous intent——

"Report, there are still two hundred miles away from Jiameng Pass, do you want to set up camp?" A spy rode leisurely on the horse, as if he had just woken up, and said listlessly.

In the past, based on his virtue alone, Zhang Liao would have killed him once.Zhang Liao would kill him three times for the bullshit he just reported.For actions that affect the morale of the army, Zhang Liao will kill him six times.A total of ten times. .

At this moment, he didn't say a word.Waiting for the young master Zhang Fu to show up.

"Set up camp, set up camp, don't get too close to the city. There is a saying in the art of war, retreat three houses, one house is sixty miles, and three houses is 180 miles. It happens to be here. Let's camp here. If you retreat three houses, you will surely win the battle, you guys Don't worry. This is the supreme art of war. Hahahaha." Zhang Fu laughed shamelessly.

Zhang Liao wanted to hit him again, but also wanted to laugh.That's what he meant by backing away from his mother.You must camp 180 miles away in order to win the battle.It's really your mother's lesson.If you don't accept it, you are afraid that if you attack the city tomorrow, half of the soldiers will die of exhaustion before they reach the place.

Zhang Fu was still boasting brazenly over there, raised his thumbs up, raised his eyebrows, and looked frivolous: "How about it, brother-in-law, what do you think, my brother didn't embarrass you. I remember the art of war most clearly." Alright, stay away, okay, great plan. This time we will definitely win the Jiameng Pass.” Zhang Fu felt a little proud and pleased with his clever plan.

Zhang Liao felt disgusted by his shamelessness and ignorance.He wanted to play dead on the big tree next to him. "My lord, it's really a clever plan, outsmarting the world, Zhang Liao admires it." Sometimes, people in adversity will lose their bones and succumb to the complicated environment.It's like, a dissolute brother who lost his family property, after becoming a beggar, he still eats the food dug out from the grave.Zhang Liao also learned to speak insincerely.Flattering ignorant and childish people.After a long time, he got used to it, and he didn't feel much about it.Moreover, it is more slippery than anyone else.

Outside Jiameng Pass, a tent was set up loosely and without rules.If you look at it from a height, it looks like a gathering place for a group of beggars.

Peng Yi, the guard at Jiameng Gate, frowned after hearing the spies' report.He concluded that this was a trick to lure the enemy! !It must be a trap, order the troops to hold out, lest they fall into an ambush.Peng Yi later regretted his caution.Knowing this, Hanzhong could be defeated in World War I.He is mainly afraid of Zhang Liao.As everyone knows, Zhang Liao has no right to command the army at all. To put it bluntly, he is just a pawn.

That night, Zhang Fu took out the chickens, ducks and geese he had snatched from the village and held a bonfire party.Everyone sang and danced, and spent a quiet and peaceful night.Zhang Fu, who was drunk, also gave a speech: "Brothers—drink and eat tonight, and tomorrow we will fight to the death with the Shu soldiers. Our army is united and sincerely cooperates. To be able to win the Battle of Jiameng. When we arrive in Chengdu, each girl with one sign—"

"My lord, it's all over at that time. Some brothers haven't tasted the taste of a woman. It would be a pity if they died in battle—" Someone below spoke enthusiastically.evoked a response.

Zhang Fu loves soldiers like a son. Seeing the excitement of the brothers, he immediately fell into deep thought: "Who do you think I am, Zhang Fu? Your demands will definitely be met. Isn't this what we are throwing our heads and blood for—" He Look back, the mountain road behind you.The spies came to report, it seems to be a town there! !
"Rectify the troops and horses, let's go."

At dawn, more than a dozen villages and small towns near Jiameng Pass were attacked by rebels.The rebellious soldiers broke into other people's homes brutally, knocked the man unconscious and killed him.He shouted cursingly, "I will sacrifice my life for the country tomorrow, just to protect you. It is right to use your mother-in-law." Then he stripped the woman of that family and dragged her to a dark place ——

Some women died as a result.
