Yang Song received the valuable gifts from Deng Zhi, and naturally encouraged Zhang Lu to send troops, so he said, “Otherwise. Regardless of whether Huang Gongheng’s words are credible, they will be based on the current situation. Of course, the lord knows that if Liu Zhang perishes, it would be beneficial. Both Zhou and Jingzhou are owned by Liu Xun. These two places happened to surround us. How can Liu Xun allow this situation to go on for a long time? It is bound to send troops to fight for Hanzhong. At that time, Liu Xun will have land in two states, hundreds of There are thousands of people, and we only have three counties. How can we resist the two sides of a million people?"
Zhang Lu trembled and nodded. Yang Song said: "Yizhou is in danger now, and Liu Zhang is desperate. If we don't agree to rescue, he will surrender for the sake of the same clan as Liu Xun. By then, Ming Gong will regret it again, but it will be too late."
Zhang Lu trembled slightly and said, "Exactly."
Yang Song said: "Now Liu Zhang is in danger. If the lord raises his troops to save him, Liu Zhang will feel that the lord will be deep and will inevitably fall in love with him. With Liu Zhang's help, there will be no worries about the future, and we can fight for the world with all our strength."
Zhang Lu frowned, and said thoughtfully: "But we sent troops to fight with Liu Xun, but helped Liu Zhang regain Yizhou. This is not worthwhile."
Yang Song smiled slightly and said, "If we break into the sword pavilion and join forces with Liu Zhang to destroy Liu Xun, the land we have captured in Yizhou, is Liu Zhang embarrassed to tell us to spit it out? Even if Liu Zhang asked us to return it, we will not return it. What can he do with me? Does he want to fight again? If that is the case, Liu Zhang will be shameless by the princes of the world, and no one will help him. And we have the virtue of survival and extinction, we must do our best Respected by the princes. The so-called: "The way to get more help, the less to help" is like this. The battle between Ming Gong and Liu Zhang has not yet begun, and the victory can be predicted."
Zhang Lu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, okay! What you said has gone to my heart, that's it..."
Yan Pu said: "Although Yang Song's words are reasonable, they have not been fully considered. Jingzhou is in the east of us. If we attack Yizhou with all our strength, once Guan Yu and Xu Shu come from Jingzhou, our fundamentals will not be guaranteed. At that time, we will have no evidence to advance and retreat."
Zhang Lu glanced at Yan Pu, his face looked worried and silent. Yang Song said: "You only know one, but you don't know the other. Xu Shu is stationed in Xiangyang to guard against Cao Cao in the north. Guan Yu is stationed in Jiangling to guard against Sun Quan in Jiangdong, don't you know it? In such a situation, Jingzhou is still possible. Send troops?"
Hearing Yang Song's words, Zhang Lu's expression was quite gentle, and a smile appeared on his face.
Yan Pu was silent. He didn't expect Yang Song's word front to become so powerful today. He said that the words were superficial and methodical, and there was no trace of arguable. What he didn't expect was that Deng Zhi had already considered all the situations that Yan Pu could think of in advance, and taught Yang Song all the answers. Although Yang Song loves money like fate, he is not a sack of rice, otherwise he would not be Zhang Lu's favored subject, Hanzhong's military adviser.
Yang Song saw that Yan Pu remained silent for a while, and smiled slightly, and said: "Nowadays, the highest strategy is to attack Jiange, and Liu Zhang is in harmony with the outside to attack Liu Xun. "
Yang Song said, Zhang Lu nodded, and when Yang Song finished speaking, Zhang Lu had already nodded his head like a chicken eating rice. He only felt sore in his neck, twisted his neck, and said, "I The will has been decided, and 50,000 troops will be sent to attack Jiange to help Liu Zhang!"
Yang Song was overjoyed and said, "This battle is a big battle, and no generals are allowed to do anything. It is not for the master to conquer it."
Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "I am unwell, so my brother General Zhang Wei will lead the army to support Liu Zhang!" Zhang Lu himself did not dare to go to the battlefield, so he made an excuse for being sick.
Although Yan Pu felt that there seemed to be something wrong, he couldn't argue with it, so he nodded and said, "Huang Gongheng said that Chengdu is in danger, and we haven't seen it personally, but it's not enough to believe it. Liu Xun must have not done his best to encircle Chengdu at the beginning. At this time, attacking Liu Xun did not see any benefit."
Zhang Lu asked, "Well, in your opinion, what should I do?"
Yan Pu said: "For today's plan, it is advisable for Liu Zhang to be rescued and at ease. Liu Zhang knows that if we want to rescue, we must defend hard, and Liu Xun will also attack with all our strength. Chengdu's city defenses are strong and support one or two. Years should be no problem. We should lead troops to Zhengjian Pavilion, first destroy Huang Zhong’s troops, and then, after a year or a half of last year, most of Liu Xun’s troops and horses will be dragged under the city of Chengdu. I Taking this opportunity to attack the tired Liu Xun and the declining Liu Zhang, it is the best policy to use less effort but see more achievements."
Zhang Lu nodded and said, "It makes sense."
Yang Song thought to himself: "This idea is very good. If I obstruct it again, maybe the lord will see that I have a private connection with Liu Xun, then it won't be worth it." Thinking of this, he smiled and said:" Yan Pu's words are very good, and the lord can act according to his plan."
Zhang Lu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xuanhuang Gongheng will go to the palace."
Not long after, Huang Quan walked into the hall and Zhang Lu said, "I have decided to send 50,000 troops to attack Jiange and join forces with you to attack Liu Xun."
Huang Quan was overjoyed, and asked, "I don't know when Ming Gong will come out, so we can cooperate."
Zhang Lu said: "The army of fifty thousand is not a small number. Food and grass must be well arranged. One month is always required. I will try to rescue Jiange within two months. What do you think?"
Huang Quan knew that what Zhang Lu was saying was an excuse, no wonder he wanted food and grass, he pondered for a moment and nodded. He said: "As long as Ming Gong sends troops, Yizhou will be responsible for all the food and grass."
After Zhang Lu heard it, he laughed and said: "Okay, rescue is like fighting fire. I think the people in Yizhou are suffering from charcoal, and they should go to help as soon as possible. The army will leave within five days." Zhang Lu waved his hand again and said : "You have worked hard from afar, so let's go and rest first."
Huang Quan bowed his resignation, Zhang Lu dealt with state affairs for a long while, was dizzy, eager to return to the inner room to find a beauty to massage. Seeing Huang Quan retreat, everyone retreated and couldn't wait to walk into the inner hall to find the beauty.
Yang Song came out of Zhang Lu, returned to the mansion, and immediately wrote a secret letter, detailing the results of the discussion, sealed it up, and handed it to Yixin, so that he would leave the city immediately and be sent to Luo County to be handed over to Liu Xun. . There is a saying: "The mouth that eats people is short, the hands that take people are short." Yang Song received a large number of Jinbao from Liu Xun, of course, he must do well for him. This is understandable.
Zhang Lu held a five-day banquet in Hanzhong, the generals. After the last joyous farewell party, on the fifth day, the generals under Zhang Lu began to execute their orders. This Wei Yijun marched towards the sword pavilion with great fanfare. Along the way, through Zhang Wei's narrative, the two men's understanding of Huang Zhong has increased a lot, and they have become particularly cautious about their battle with this time.
"General Zhang, we are going to assist Liu Chan this time, presumably Huang Zhong's servant has already known that there may be an ambush on this road. We should be cautious." Yang Ang said to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei felt that what Yang Ang had said was reasonable, so he nodded and said: "The name of the military adviser in the Han army is Fazheng. This man has a lot of tricks. I must remember the things General Yang reminded." So Zhang Wei sent Yang Ren. As a vanguard officer, he went to explore the way. Yang Ren was a man with good martial arts and a shrewd mind. As a vanguard officer, he couldn't be more suitable, so Yang Ren went to explore the way.
This guard must pass through this Jiange Mountain on the way to Jiange, and Huang Zhong has already learned the news that Zhang Wei is leading the army, and still leads his troops to garrison outside this Jiange Pass. Huang Zhong closely asks Wei Yan to lead an army of 20,000 in ambush. On both sides of Jiange Mountain
Let’s say that Wei Yan led the soldiers to ambush in a narrow valley in the Dabie Mountains, ordering the soldiers to prepare firewood and stones, and to burn Zhang Lu's army when Zhang Lu's army came. The pioneer general of the Lu Army, Yang Ren, sent people to march quickly to the area where Ganning was ambushed. Yang Ren looked at the steep terrain and there was no sound of birds calling around, and suddenly felt suspicious, so he sent his men to go. Inquiry, and it was Yang Ren's caution to save these soldiers from being burnt to death. The men sent by Yang Ren went along the mountain road and prepared to go up to the top of the mountain to check.
Wei Yan saw the enemy coming up the mountain from a distance, and said to the general Bi Zhou Cang beside him: "Now our army's ambush is seen through. I think this is the enemy's first march. There are not many people. Anyway, we It has already been discovered. Instead of waiting for the enemy to kill, it is better to lead the troops down and kill them."
Wei Yan's general, General Zhou Cang, was originally a militant. In addition, he served as the grain guard some time ago. He had not been bloodied on his weapon for a long time. Seeing Wei Yan's words, he naturally nodded his head and applauded. The two led their generals to kill.
The enemy sergeants who came to spy were carefully investigating and suddenly saw a large group of people rushing down from the mountain. They were shocked and ran back. They kept shouting, "General Yang, there is an ambush, hurry up. withdraw."
Yang Ren heard this voice and looked up and saw a group of soldiers rushing towards him under the leadership of two burly men with fierce faces. Yang Ren was planning to retreat, but he saw the many soldiers coming here. They are all infantry soldiers, no one rides horses, and as a pioneer here, naturally there are a few cavalrymen, and with the help of horses, maybe he can kill the enemy generals, so Yang Ren ordered one of his cavalrymen. Go and report to the army in the rear, so that they can come and help as soon as possible. He is staying against the enemy.
Let’s say that Wei Yan and Zhou Cang saw that an enemy general was wearing armor and looked resolute, and looked very reckless, so they ran to Yang Ren together, and Yang Ren greeted him as soon as they saw it. Right, Wei Yan saw General Zhou Cang grabbing his own credit, and shouted: "This person will be left to me. There are still many cavalrymen over there. Go and fight them."
Of course Zhou Cang was unwilling. He shouted angrily: "General Wei, don't fight with me for this person. I'm going to fix his head." The conversation between the two of you and me made Yang Ren very upset, Yang Ren Loudly roared: "You two thieves, you are not ashamed. Watch me take care of you."
With that said, Yang Ren rushed forward, and the battle was on the verge...
