Chapter 52: Conquering Nanzheng
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Liu Dan and Liu Fan looked at each other silently for a few breaths. After a while, Liu Dan lowered his head and kept silent, bowed to Liu Fan, and said steadily: "Since my brother has made a decision, I will go back and do things first."
Nodding silently, looking at Liu Dan's departure, Liu Fan's eyes were complicated. In fact, he was carrying a heavy burden of internal struggle in Bashu. I don't know whether it was good or bad. If he was just like Liu Zhang, he was a young master of Yizhou who looked glamorous and praised, and he thought he would have lived a good life.
Unfortunately, the troubles of those in power are not just foreign wars, but also internal struggles for power and profit.
Seeing Liu Fan becoming inexplicably sad, Fa Zheng did not speak and was still waiting silently. After Liu Fan roughly replied to his thoughts, he continued to talk about his plan to attack Nan Zheng.
As the largest city in Hanzhong, Nanzheng was strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If you want to easily attack and capture Nanzheng, you do not have enough troops, so you can only set up strange plans to capture Nanzheng. The most critical step in capturing Nanzheng is how to lure Zhang Lu out. As the current spiritual leader of the Five Dog Rice Sect in Hanzhong, once he is captured, the Five Dog Rice Sect will disperse without attacking.
After the Five Doks of Rice Sect collapsed, the fragile Hanzhong regime would become vulnerable. Then, it would be easy to take charge of Hanzhong under the name of Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou.
"According to Xiaozhi's speculation, Zhang Gongqi's thoughts are actually mainly focused on the spread of Taoism? As for the behavior he was accompanied by the commander of Hanzhong? If so, is it feasible for me to send an envoy to give way in the name of Mu Bo of Yizhou?"
Smiling and shook his head, Fa Zheng felt helpless, "Although Zhang Gongqi was obsessed with preaching, with his lord's current reputation, it is probably still difficult for him to surrender without fighting!"
He smiled embarrassedly, and Liu Fan was not angry, "How could Xiaozhi think that Zhang Gongqi would believe Yang Bai's words?"
With a smile on his face, Fa Zheng looked at Liu Fan, looking like a mountain man had his own tricks. "It's not that Zhang Lu would believe Yang Bai, but that Yang Bai would make Zhang Lu believe him! As a Hanzhong clan, the Yang family has many children in the military power. Not to mention the others, there are many entourages of Yang Bai, Yang Ang, and Yang Ren. In addition, Yang Song responded from the side, it would be difficult for Zhang Lu to not listen."
"What if Yang Bo had evil thoughts and hurt me?"
With his eyebrows raised slightly, Fa Zheng looked at Liu Fan with a smile, "If this is the case, wouldn't it be just as the lord thought?"
The two looked at each other for a few breaths, and then they showed a smile that understood. The Yang family had grown bigger in Hanzhong. If they wanted to completely control the Yang family and not find excuses to contact their military power, they would probably not be relieved.
If Yang Bai had been actively cooperating, it would be difficult for Liu Fan to take action after the war, but if Yang Bai did not cooperate, the Yang family would inevitably have a significant reduction in strength after the war. As for whether Yang Bai cooperated with the legitimate plan, it would be irrelevant. After all, he was just one part of it.
At this time, Yang Bai, who escaped from Bao, also successfully came to Zhang Lu's mansion.
Smoke was shrouded incense, and Yang Bai, as a general stationed abroad, entered Zhang Lu's mansion for the first time. However, this time the matter was of great importance, and he had to report it to Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu closed his eyes and rested, sitting upright on the main seat, with Zhang Wei standing silently at the top of the bottom.
