Zhao Wei and Li Fu rode a war horse and counted the escape routes in Xicheng, so they easily escaped from Fu County.

However, Liu Fan was still very pleased that Zhang Song's water irrigation method was not adopted to win Fu County this time. Of course, Gan Ning was the most excited, and this battle was his first achievement.

Leading troops to charge and intercept the rebels in Fu County from the city, successfully gaining time for Zhang Ren's reinforcements later. Therefore, even if Zhang Ren attacked Pang Hui, the first contribution in this battle was still on Gan Ning's head.

After this battle, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren and others completely established their position as comparing Xu Huang and Pang De in Liu Fan's shogunate. After this battle, Wang Chong and Ren Kui also respected them a lot.

The convincing between military generals is that simple. Those who can charge on the battlefield and kill the thief generals in formation can be respected by other generals.

Obviously, Gan Ning and Zhang Ren did it.

Fuxian County Temple

After Liu Fan roughly saw the bamboo slips in Fu County, he asked Wang Lei to drag him down and deal with it. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to pull Du Wei, Du Qiong, Wuliang and others to Mianzhu. Later, he planned to let these people start from the county magistrate.

As for the county magistrate of Fu County, Liu Fan is currently in charge of Wang Lei and Li Miao. As the envoy of this edict, Liu Fan of course also gave him corresponding compensation.

Similarly, this is also to win over the hearts of Li Chao and Li Shao brothers in Qi County. After all, Wang Fu's brother Wang Shi had already been invited by his letter to set off from Qi County to Mianzhu. If he had more young talents to come over, Liu Fan would naturally be happy.

Now it happened to be when Liu Fan cleaned up the prefectures and counties. He took the initiative to recruit and appoint a group of capable young talents, and granted the kindness of filial piety and integrity, so that he could rule more stably in the future.

After arranging the matter in Fu County, Liu Fancai began to discuss the follow-up pursuit of Zhao Wei, Li Fu and the subsequent pursuit.

At this time, only Liu Fan, Fa Zheng, Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, Wang Chong, Ren Kui and other generals were left in the hall, and of course, Zhang Song, who was already taciturn.

Looking at Zhang Song, Liu Fan smiled, "Zi Qiao, next attack Zitong, can you tell us about the situation in Zitong City?"

Once again, someone asked someone to lift the sand table up, and Zhang Song briefly outlined the situation around Zitong to the sand table.

Strictly speaking, Zitong is a city located at the foot of the mountain. It is located in the southwest of the mountain monument. Although it is not high, it is winding and rugged, not as convenient as the plain. To the northeast, it is all mountain roads, with mountain terrain in Shu and undulating mountains. There are only two mountain roads, which lead to Jiange in the north and Langzhong in the east.

Langzhong is actually connected with the Jiameng Pass in the north, and therefore, Langzhong is an important city in Ba County. Historically, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, Zhang Fei has been stationed in Langzhong.

Listening silently as Zhang Song talked about the terrain of Bashu, Liu Fan carefully analyzed the situation, "In this way, Zitong is the important city leading to Shu on Jinniu Road, and Langzhong is the important city leading to Bajun."

Nodding silently, Zhang Song responded truthfully, "Yes, going southwest from Jiameng Pass is like Bashu, and going south along the Western Han River, you can enter Ba County."

As for the matter of going to Ba County from Nanzhengnan to Nanzheng, Zhang Song did not say anything about it, and it was not involved at the moment.

Listening to Zhang Song's explanation, Liu Fan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could some of the soldiers in Jiameng Pass have been sent to Langzhong? He was a little hesitant at first, why did these powerful men really dare to rebel if they just left 10,000 soldiers outside the pass?

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the location of Jiameng Pass was very important.

Taking Jiameng Pass, going west to Guanghan, Shu, and going south to the hinterland of Ba County. More choices mean more opportunities. With ten thousand county and state soldiers, it is a god-given opportunity. If Liu Fan rebelled, he might also choose this opportunity.

"In this way, Langzhong is actually the core. Our army is now a little bit lured into the depths?" After thinking for a while, Liu Fan couldn't help but smile.

Zitong and Langzhong are close to each other, and there is a mountain road that leads directly to Langzhong. From Fu County to Langzhong, you have to bypass the mountain road and go around in a circle before you can enter Langzhong from the south. If you really sneak attacks Langzhong in secret, then Fu County may be captured by surprise. The rebels will then advance from Fu County to west and attack Chengdu, and all the battle will be over.

Therefore, in order not to allow the rebels to leave Fu County, Liu Fan could only continue to chase northward from Fu County and attack Zitong.

"So, now, our army has only one route left, is it a guide to Zitong?" Frowning slightly, Fa Zheng also saw the inappropriateness. His eyes were a little worried and looked at Liu Fan, "With such a single choice, if our army continues to attack, will Zitong fall into the enemy's trap?"

It is precisely the sense of crisis on the battlefield that strategy players like Fa Zheng have this keen sense of smell.

His eyebrows flicked slightly, Liu Fan did not reply, and looked at Zhang Song, "What do Ziqiao think?"

Zhang Song couldn't help but bow, "It's a bit troublesome. Although Li Fu and Zhao Wei are not afraid of it, as Zi Zhi said before, there are many talented men in Langzhong. I'm just worried that someone would be involved with Li Fu and use Langzhong and Zitong as double bait to lure our army, which would be a bit troublesome!"

I deeply agree with it. After Zhang Song reminded me, Fa Zheng also remembered that when Qin Mi was in Mianzhu, he had a lot of names of Junxian in Langzhong. When he was thinking about it, it was a concern.

Fa Zheng's face was solemn, and the generals in the hall, including Gan Ning, Zhang Ren, etc., were also bad-faced. They were not stupid, so how could they not know the possibility of this? The superiors attacked and planned, and the two armies fought, and they were defeated before they were determined to win. Only in this way can they be defeated in a hundred battles.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and when they looked at their solemn expressions, Liu Fan was quite proud for some reason.

Seeing that Liu Fan was not only not worried, but instead showed a smile. Fa Zheng was also confused and asked in confusion, "Can the lord laugh at this time? Do you think we are over-concerned?"

Youyou stood up from the main seat, Liu Fan sorted out his robe casually, and under the blink of an eye, he slowly raised his hand, pointed to the southeast, Youyou said, "So, it is still necessary to have a wise and profound lord!"

Under the puzzled gaze of everyone, Liu Fan finally continued: "Did you forget that I have a general?"

"Pang Lingming!" In an instant, Fa Zheng's eyes were shiny.

"Send the order!" At this time, Liu Fan no longer kept his cover and ordered loudly: "Send the order to run from Pingyang Township to the northeast, cross the country, and directly enter Langzhong. In a few days, I will hunt Langzhong with him!"

"As for the order!" Hearing this, the personal guards next to him quickly took the order and went down to pass the order.
Chapter completed!
