Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Song stayed in Jiangling for three days. During these three days, Zhang Song once again described to Yan Liang in detail the various passes in Shu, the deployment of troops in various counties, and the Shu generals who needed to be wary.

    Three days later, Zhang Song took Yan Liang's autographed letter to Liu Zhang and embarked on the road back to Shuzhong.

    Zhang Song, who returned to Chengdu, once again praised Yan Liang's friendship to Liu Zhang, entrusted Yan Liang's handwriting to Liu Zhang, and even guaranteed with his life and fortune that Yan Liang was definitely a trustworthy ally.

    When Liu Zhang read Yan Liang's letter full of respect and listened to Zhang Song's solemn guarantee, he was almost convinced of Yan Liang's sincerity.

    At the same time, Liu Zhang's agents stationed in Guanzhong also sent back intelligence, claiming that Cao's troops originally stationed in Chang'an were gathering in the Chencang area.

    Although the reason given by Chang'an for the transfer was to quell the rebellion of several Di people in Longyou, Liu Zhang was convinced that Cao Cao's purpose of transferring troops must be to capture Hanzhong.

    Moreover, with the help of Yan Liang, even if Cao Cao does not plan to attack Hanzhong, Liu Zhang will never miss this perfect opportunity to attack Hanzhong, eliminate Zhang Lu, his old enemy, and occupy both Sichuan.

    "Since Yongnian has personally inspected Jingzhou, why should I worry? Well, I will send people to Jingzhou in the near future to welcome Yan Dashima to Badong from the west and let him take Shangyong via the north road."

    In the meeting hall, Liu Zhang, who read Yan Liang's handwriting, was overjoyed and made a decision immediately.

    Zhang Song was secretly happy, and quickly praised Liu Zhang for his "wiseness and martial prowess", and then suggested that the matter was so important that he needed to send a capable candidate, but he went to welcome Yan Liang to Badong.

    Liu Zhang was convinced and asked, "Is there any suitable candidate for Yongnian?"

    Zhang Song pretended to think deeply for a long time, and then said: "My subordinates believe that Fa Xiaozhi is smart and capable enough to take on this responsibility."

    "Filial piety and uprightness?"

    Liu Zhang was in a daze for a moment, and then he remembered that there was such a person under his command.

    He vaguely remembered that this person didn't seem to have much ability and was just an inconspicuous figure in his shogunate. However, since he was recommended by Zhang Song, Liu Zhang didn't think much about it and agreed to Zhang Song's proposal on the spot.

    Therefore, Liu Zhang signed an order at that time and ordered Fa Zheng to lead 4,000 Shu soldiers and 200 carts of money and grain to Jingzhou to meet Yan Liang's army heading to Badong.

    As for the four thousand Shu soldiers and the two hundred cartloads of money and food, Liu Zhang was a thank you gift from Yan Liang for sending troops to help capture Hanzhong.

    Although Liu Zhang couldn't even defeat Zhang Lu, if you seriously calculate his wealth, it's really scary.

    There are millions of scholars and women in Yizhou. They benefit from the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and are free from floods and droughts. The Chengdu Plain is unparalleled in its richness. There have been no major wars in recent years. The money, food and goods accumulated in Liu Zhang's treasury exceeds tens of millions.

    With so much wealth, a mere two hundred cartloads of food and supplies was nothing more than a drop in the bucket to Liu Zhang.

    According to Zhang Song, the number of soldiers and horses under Liu Zhang's command was nearly 100,000!

    What kind of concept is this? I think Yan Liang has been fighting for so many years and has occupied three states. The number of soldiers and horses has just reached 120,000.

    As for others such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei, they were all great princes in several states, but their troops were only about 100,000.

    "But Liu Zhang only had one state, not counting Hanzhong, but he was able to raise 100,000 soldiers. This shows the wealth of Yizhou.

    Liu Zhang, who had 100,000 troops, sent 4,000 troops and horses to Yan Liang as a meeting gift, which was naturally a trivial matter.

    Seeing Liu Zhang writing the order so generously, Zhang Song sneered secretly. After flattering Liu Zhang for a long time, he went to issue Liu Zhang's order as an additional driver.

    In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Zhang Song asked Fazheng to lead 4,000 soldiers and horses to set off early the next morning and rush to Jingzhou day and night.

    ¡­¡­

    The news that Liu Zhang was determined to borrow a passage to Yan Liang soon spread throughout Chengdu. In the afternoon, Huang Quan, who heard the news, hurriedly came to see Liu Zhang.

    "My lord, Yan Liang is a powerful hero in the world. Now my lord allows him to use the passage. If Yan Liang has evil intentions, our army will give up the danger of the Three Gorges. When Yan Liang's army crosses the natural danger of the Three Gorges and marches westward, won't Yizhou be in danger?  ¡±

    Although Huang Quan agreed to lend Yan Liang's hand to destroy Zhang Lu, he clearly opposed letting Yan Liang take advantage of him.

    After hearing this, Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning, "Yongnian returned from his mission this year and has found out Yan Ziyi's authenticity. He assured that Yan Ziyi is sincerely uniting with us. You are a little too suspicious if you doubt Yan Ziyi's sincerity."

    By Zhang SongAfter the deception, Liu Zhang was convinced of Yan Liang's sincerity.

    "Zhang Biejia's words are just one-sided, how can we be credulous? However, my subordinates heard that Yan Ziyi was treacherous and treacherous, no less dangerous than Cao Cao. The subordinates thought that the lord must not take it lightly and trust this person easily. If he is unfortunately spoken harshly by his subordinates, he will be punished.  Then a disaster will come to Yizhou."

    Huang Quan almost cried when he remonstrated with Liu Zhang.

    Liu Zhang's expression moved slightly, as if he was a little moved by Huang Quan's advice, but also felt a little worried.

    After thinking for a moment, Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "I still think you are worrying too much. Even if Yan Ziyi really has malicious intentions, even if we lose the danger of the Three Gorges, there are still dangerous passes in Jiangzhou and other roads, and there are countless elite soldiers and generals, and  How could he not be able to stop his invasion of tens of thousands of troops?"

    Liu Zhang looked very confident.

    Huang Quan's heart became more and more anxious, "Although our soldiers are numerous, their combat effectiveness is very weak. Although Yan's army is small, they are all elites in a hundred battles. Moreover, Yan Liang is an expert in using troops. Even Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu are not like him."  As an opponent, let alone me and other Shu generals, I beg your lord not to trust him."

    Huang Quan devalued the Shu generals for their low combat effectiveness. Liu Zhang was unhappy when he heard this. He said displeasedly: "You underestimate my Shu generals too much. Besides, my letter to Yan Ziyi has been sent, and Fazheng has taken the lead to welcome him."  The soldiers and horses are setting off. If you ask me to go back on my words at this time, you are going to put me in a situation where I have not kept my word. "

    Liu Zhang always believed in benevolence and righteousness, and he took matters of faith very seriously. Huang Quan was at a loss when he complained like this. If he continued to persuade him, he would definitely make Liu Zhang angry.

    At his wits' end, Huang Quan said, "Since I can't refuse, please leave Badong County. I will try my best to be wary of Yan Liang. Even if he has malicious intentions, it will be difficult for him to succeed.  "

    Huang Quan was so difficult that Liu Zhang got tired of hearing it, so he waved his hands and said impatiently: "That's all, that's all, if you want to take up a new post, then you can take the post. I will appoint you as the Governor of Badong. You can go and take up the post immediately."  "

    Huang Quan perked up and was about to speak again, but Liu Zhang was already impatient and walked away.

    Looking at Liu Zhang¡¯s leaving figure, Huang Quan could only shake his head and sigh.

    ¡­¡­

    The two states of Jingyi and Jingyi span thousands of miles, and messengers come and go. The winter has passed, and the willow trees by the river are already showing signs of new green.

    At the Shuiying Wharf in the south of Jiangling City, Yan Liang led a group of officials from Da Sima Mansion, looking eagerly to the west.

    Near the Tianshui, clouds and sails gradually appeared, and a fleet of ships came downstream.

    In the water camp, dozens of river patrol boats came out and went up the river, escorting the fleet from Yizhou and slowly sailed into the water camp.

    The ship docked, and the scribe who stepped off the flagship first had a stern appearance, with no trace of arrogance hidden in his brows.

    "Come here, is Fufeng Fa filial and upright?" Yan Liang smiled and asked loudly.

    The scribe raised his head and looked up, but when he saw a man with a body like an iron tower, a majestic appearance, and an air of confidence coming forward, he couldn't help but be shocked by Yan Liang's aura.

    "The lower official is Fazheng, and I have met Yan Da Sima." The scribe reported his name.

    The legendary Fa Zheng was finally in sight. Yan Liang looked at this stern scribe and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

    ??In the past, if there was no honest help, Liu Bei would not be able to capture Buyi Province. If there is no true plan, Liu Bei would not be able to kill Xiahou Yuan or capture Hanzhong.

    If Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei steal Jingzhou and lay the foundation, then Fazheng single-handedly pushed Liu Bei's career to an unprecedented peak.

    In fact, after Pang Tong unfortunately fell, Fa Zheng became the mastermind of Liu Bei's march and war.

    Fazheng's untimely death also caused Liu Bei to fail in the battle of Yiling, and he lost the opportunity to compete for the world.

    If Fa Zheng had not died so early, it is really unknown whether the Three Triparts of the World would eventually return to the Jin Dynasty.

    Now, this legendary figure is standing in front of him, but the hero he wants to help has become himself, how can Yan Liang not feel emotional.

    "Fufeng's filial piety and uprightness are famous all over the world. I have admired him for a long time. Seeing him today is truly a blessing in my life." Yan Liang laughed loudly, took Fazheng and walked to the shore.

    Hearing Yan Liang¡¯s praise and treatment, Fazheng couldn¡¯t help but feel flattered.

    Although Fazheng is famous at a young age, purely as a celebrity, he is far from being famous all over the world.

    Later, due to Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Fazheng fled from his hometown Guanzhong to Yizhou, but he was never reused by Liu Zhang. Now his official position is just a small county magistrate.

    ? ??Zhang Song was in a high position and was accustomed to different honors, low status, and arrogant temperament. Fa Zheng was actually not very popular in Shu.

    Now that I have traveled to Jingzhou, I have received such praise and courtesy from the world-famous Yan Liang. Fazheng was deeply moved.

    In order to show his importance to Fazheng, Yan Liang rode alongside Fazheng on the way to Jiangling City.

    Fazheng, who was accustomed to receiving cold treatment, was moved in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: "What Zhang Yongnian said is indeed true. Da Sima Zhen is the hero of the world. Zheng is indeed on the wrong ship."

    Before Yan Liang could ask, Fazheng had already tactfully stated his intention.

    "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Shu. It's a pity that Liu Zhang doesn't know how to use talents. Previously, Zhang Yongnian praised filial piety and uprightness. He said that as long as filial piety and uprightness are there to help him, the battle to conquer Shu will be smooth."

    Fazheng showed his true feelings, and Yan Liang got straight to the point.

    Hearing this, Fazheng's eyebrows showed a somewhat confident smile, but he said: "It's easy to deal with Liu Zhang, a loser, but he has many capable people under his command, and now there is a difficult guy.  , If you want to stop Da Sima from entering Shu and take Yizhou, you must get rid of this person first. "

    "I wonder who this person is?" Yan Liang became curious.

    "Huang Quan." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
