Chapter 622: Strong walls and clear fields
Yang Huai stood up and said to Liu Zhang: "I heard that most of the Jingzhou army moved eastward to the border of Yuzhou, but now they suddenly appeared in the middle of Shu and captured Jiangguan. This shows that Liu Qi has already made a plan.
It was a premeditated plan to occupy our Yizhou!"
Liu Zhang waved his hands vigorously and said: "At this juncture, let's not discuss how long he has been planning... The most important thing at the moment is how to drive him out! What can you do? Hurry up.
Come on!"
Liu Quan stood up and said: "My lord, the big problem right now does not lie with Liu Qi, but because we have enemies on three sides: east, south and north."
Liu Zhang was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to react and said: "Are you talking about Jia Long and Ren Qi?"
Liu Suan nodded heavily and said: "It is these two beasts. They have been against us in Yizhou these years. One is inside and the other is outside, constantly harassing us. Now Liu Qi has broken through Jiangguan and entered Yizhou.
, based on the official’s understanding of them, the two thieves will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely take action!”
Liu Zhang really had a headache now.
He rubbed his temples and said angrily: "If the three parties come to attack Yizhou, won't we die without a burial place? How to stop it? How to stop it!"
Mianzhu Ling Zhang Song, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and then stood up and said: "My lord, don't be impatient. In my opinion, if only Liu Qi from Jingzhou comes to attack with troops and horses, it may be difficult to defeat him, but if all three parties send troops together, it will be difficult."
It’s not a bad thing.”
"Nonsense!" Liu Zhang couldn't help but became furious when he heard this. He slammed the table and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not a good thing! Seeing three armies coming to attack me, doesn't it make you feel good?
?”
Liu Zhang didn't have a good impression of Zhang Song. If it weren't for the fact that he was from the Zhang family, a wealthy local family, and was such a mean and ugly man, Liu Zhang would never have let him stay under his command.
It's an eyesore.
Zhang Song was also angry.
What kind of lord is this? Before I even finished speaking, you scolded me all over my face. Do you want to be reasonable?
Seeing how timid you are, you are embarrassed to be the master?
Zhang Song was angry in his heart, but his face showed no emotion.
"My lord has misunderstood, please listen to what the official has to say...According to the official's opinion, although Liu Qi had supported Jia Long in the past, Jia Long, Zhang and his brother, also knew each other back then... Oh, among all of you present
, most people also know him, in your opinion, is Jia Long a person who is willing to be inferior to others?"
When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads and thought carefully.
Zhang Yi said: "This is what you said. In the past, Jia Long was the most powerful person in Shu and had a very high reputation in Shu. If he were in Shu, he would not be inferior to others and would have to establish himself as the master."
Zhang Song said: "That's right... My lord, Jia Long and Ren Qi are not of the same mind as Liu Qi at all. They are attacking from three directions. How can they advance and retreat together? I expect that they will plot against each other... According to my opinion, my lord should send people to spread everywhere.
There are rumors that Jia Long intends to capture Yizhou and become independent, while Liu Qi wants to liquidate Jia Long, Ren Qi and other people who threaten him after capturing Yizhou. Although these rumors are not credible, they have a strong relationship with each other.
There is mutual distrust in the first place, but over time, there will definitely be trouble!"
When Liu Zhang heard this, he suddenly understood.
His attitude towards Zhang Song was not as bad as Shicai's.
"What Mr. Zhang said is true...Okay, okay, just follow what Mr. Zhang said!"
Zhang Song added: "In addition, my lord should send someone to Liu Qi's camp to negotiate peace with him."
"Negotiate a peace?" Liu Zhang's face suddenly turned red: "Liu Boyu is so angry with my father that he has come to invade my state and county again. How can I make peace with him?"
"It's not really a peace negotiation." Zhang Song said with a smile: "Send people to Liu Qi's military camp to pretend, and then spread the news, indicating that the Duke is willing to cede land to the people of Jingzhou, and only asks Liu Qi to withdraw his troops and send Jia Long back. That's it.
I am willing to bow my head."
"Oh!" Liu Zhang suddenly realized: "A plan to divorce?"
"Of course."
"Then, who can implement this plan?"
No one around responded.
Zhang Song sighed and said: "Since it is the proposal proposed by the junior official, then the junior official will share the worries of the Lord."
"Okay! Yongnian, just go on this journey for me. If things come true later, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"promise."
"Go back and get ready. If you need anything, just ask."
"Thank you, lord."
Zhang Song bowed to Liu Zhang and then left, but no one noticed that Zhang Song's eyes were filled with disdain at this moment.
After Zhang Song left, the captain Gao Pei stood up and said: "My lord, Zhang Song's plan is too taken for granted and may not be successful. The current plan is to deal with Liu Qi by attacking the enemy head-on militarily. According to the official's opinion,
, Liu Qi has captured Jiangguan, and his next target must be Jiangzhou! Now we must mobilize our troops and head to Jiangzhou quickly to prevent Liu Qi from attacking the city."
Liu Zhang suddenly realized, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes... Gao Jun's words are very true... Liu Huang, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, Deng Xian, and Lingbao obey the order."
Several lieutenant-level figures stood up together.
"I will give you 30,000 elite troops. You and I will quickly go to Jiangzhou to garrison! Be on guard against Liu Qi!"
"only!"
After the generals left, Liu Zhang felt a little tired, so he stood up and walked towards the Nuan Pavilion in the back hall, wanting to go back and take a rest.
When Liu Zhang got up and walked back, a young minister followed him.
This person was Zheng Du from Guanghan County who had just been promoted after Liu Zhang took office.
"Lord, I have a way to defeat Liu Qi."
"What method?" Liu Zhang asked tiredly.
"Liu Qi led his troops to attack me. Although the armor is strong, Jingzhou is far away from the center of Shu after all. It is not easy to mobilize grain and grass. At present, the soldiers are not attached, and the wild grains are resources. The army has very few supplies. It is impossible to use them all.
Drive out Brazil, and Zitong people will burn all their warehouses, wild and wild valleys west of Fulishui, and set up high forts and deep ditches to wait for them. When they come, please fight, but don't allow them. They will have no resources for a long time. In less than a hundred days, they will surely go away.
.If you strike while walking, your ears will be captured."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing this, Liu Zhang stood on the spot.
He looked back at Zheng Du in disgust and opened his mouth as if to scold him.
But in the end, Liu Zhang endured it.
This tactic of fortifying the wall and clearing the country is very easy to use, especially for people like Liu Qi who come from out of state and go deep alone.
But there is also a drawback.
That is to injure the enemy by one thousand and injure yourself by eight hundred.
Driving the people westward and burning the warehouses and wild valleys would make Liu Zhang's people's morale plummet and there would be no room for improvement.
Historically, Liu Zhang did not adopt this strategy when fighting against Liu Bei.
But now he is much younger than in history, and when he fought against Liu Bei in history, he had been in charge of Yizhou for more than 20 years, and his feelings towards Yizhou were completely different from now...
The current Liu Zhang is young, cowardly, and at the same time has a latent impulse. He has no deep feelings for the newly acquired property in Yizhou.
Although Zheng Du's strategy disgusted him, he did not refuse.
After a short silence, Liu Zhang said, "Let me think about it."
…
And just when Liu Qi captured Jiangguan and prepared to launch an attack on Jiangzhou, something happened in Jingzhou.
Zhang Ji and Jia Xu's armies marched toward Yuzhou in the east, and the news soon spread to Luoyang.
Wang Yun made a prompt decision and called for Lu Bu.
"Fengxian, do you know that over at Wancheng, Zhang Jifeng took half of his troops to Yuzhou, and now only Niu Fu is guarding Wancheng. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is time for us to take action."
Wang Yun's tone was firm. He had made up his mind to kill Niu Fu's soldiers to strengthen his own power.
Lu Bu, who was the general of the Wei, said to Wang Yun: "Master, have you made this clear to Your Majesty?"
"Do you still need to report to Your Majesty the traitor who destroyed the country? I can make the decision on this matter."
After hearing Wang Yun's answer, Lu Bu seemed to be hesitant: "Master, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan and others have been pardoned by His Majesty's edict. At this time, he suddenly led troops to attack him...
Isn’t it damaging to the majesty of the imperial court?”
Wang Yun couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.
You, a military man, can't you argue with the majesty of this imperial court?
"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to pardon them, but it does not mean that if they are convicted in the future, the imperial court will not send troops to encircle and suppress them... Fengxian, Niu Fu has many elites and many war horses. Now his attention is in the east. He has never
Taking care of us, if you send troops at this time, if nothing happens, you can gather them all. All the soldiers and generals you have collected will be under the control of you, the general of the guard, aren't you willing?"
How could Lu Bu not be willing?
He cupped his hands and said, "Since the Tutor has already thought about it, Bu will order the troops to set off tomorrow!"
