People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 286
Hanzhong, Nanzheng!
After three days of rest and three days of adjustment, the morale of the whole army was high again, and Li Yao thought it was time to send troops.

Outside the city, in the big tent of the military camp!
Li Yao looked at the people on the left and right, and he also said directly:
"In the previous battle at Yangping Pass, General Huyi's flying step team made great contributions. Of course, the generals dispatched elites to personally oversee the battle and made great efforts. This credit is also recorded. Now Zhang Lu directly abandoned the city and fled. Hanzhong has surrendered without a fight. We should also turn our attention to Liu Yan..."

"One Jinniu Dao, one Micang Dao, one Guanghan County, and one Berkshire County. I decided to attack together. Who will be the vanguard!"

After the words fell, everyone present looked left and right, but immediately after, Hu Zhen stood up and faced Li Yao, his voice was unwilling:

"General, I am the vanguard general, let me take the lead in the battle. Before attacking Zhang Lu, I failed to make a contribution before the arrival of the army. Now attack Liu Yan, let me do it!"

Hu Zhen originally planned to enter Hanzhong and make great contributions just before the arrival of the army, but it turned out that after the arrival of the army, under Li Yao's command, Yangping Pass was defeated.

Then Zhang Lu ran away, Hanzhong was easily captured, and he had no chance to make meritorious deeds, so he had to take good care of it this time.

After Hu Zhen finished speaking, Li Jue stood up:

"General, I am also willing to take the lead in the battle as a vanguard, and I will drive straight in for the general, break through and seize the city!"

Li Jue had other thoughts. Although it was very easy to fight with Li Yao, only by fighting alone could he seize the opportunity to plunder wealth.

Meritorious service belongs to meritorious service, and making a fortune belongs to making a fortune.

From Li Jue's point of view, the two are not in conflict.

After the two finished speaking, the rest of the people also asked for a fight. Li Yao waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, all the generals are brave and heroic, I already know it, but the road to Shu is difficult, the army can't use it, and the counter-invasion force, as a vanguard to take the lead in the battle, has its own merits, but after the real entry into Shu, there are many opportunities for meritorious deeds..."

"General Hu Zhen, then you will go south through the Jinniu Road and attack Guanghan County. General Li Jue, then you will go south through the Micang Road and attack Berkshire. The artisans, civilian husbands, food and grass... will all be in place soon..."

"I will lead the troops to stay in Nanzheng, supervise the construction of plank roads, dredge the Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, Ziwu Road, and Guanzhong. If there is an emergency, I can quickly lead the troops back to help. When the Shu Road is opened, I will also quickly lead the troops to press on!"

Hanzhong, as a buffer between Guanzhong and Yizhou, Li Yao occupies here, has the initiative to attack Yizhou, whether to advance or retreat, and can adjust at any time.

The road to Shu is difficult, just like the previous attack on Yangping Pass, they had 1 troops, but they could only line up 1000 people each time, and [-] people went to battle because of the difficult terrain.

Before the road to Shu is opened, the entire army will waste energy, food and grass. It is better to build plank roads and completely open up Guanzhong and Hanzhong. Only in this way can Guanzhong and Hanzhong be connected to truly improve their own strength.

Hu Zhen, Li Jue, and the two immediately took orders. Although Pioneer needs to bear some risks, they can also make great contributions and make a fortune.

But at this time, Bei Gongli stood up:

"No, I have flying steps, and I can climb mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground. Why is it that I am not counted as a pioneer?"

Li Yao was pensive when he heard the words, but made up his mind in an instant, looked at Bei Gongli with a light smile and said:

"Feihu, if you are not a pioneer, you are not counted. Now there is another task, which only you can complete. I want you to bring the elite and this flying step to seize the Guanghan vassal state..."

"The Guanghan vassal state has many mountains and forests, and the road is rugged. It is not under the Jinniu Road or the Miicang Road. However, if we can capture the Guanghan vassal state, we may be able to find a way to go directly to Shuzhong and approach Mianzhu..."

"I'll give you another batch of food and grass, and a batch of cloth. Feibu can expand thousands of people, and they can better cross the mountains and forests. Not only this time, maybe it will be of great use in the future!"

Deng Ai's smuggling into Yinping probably won't happen again, but smuggling into Yinping may not be impossible to copy.

The road to Shu is difficult, and now there are multiple attempts and multiple opportunities, and he doesn't want to just attack the past one by one.

When Bei Gongli heard this, he rubbed his chin. He had stayed in Wudu for half a year, and he had a deeper understanding of this place and the neighboring Guanghan vassal state.

Belonging to the country, belonging to the country, as the name suggests, is not counted as a formally established prefecture, and is basically a place where Yi people and Di people gather.

Guanghan belongs to the country, and the cavalry is like falling into a quagmire when entering, but it is actually possible to take flying steps and expand thousands of people to cross mountains and ridges and enter Shuzhong.

So Bei Gongli nodded and agreed:
"Then I'll go there. I've been in Wudu for half a year, and I know how to enter the Guanghan vassal state. After I've knocked down here, I'll add a few thousand Feibu. Even if there's no way, I can open a way!"

Li Yao added after hearing the words:

"It's not necessary to fight, but you can induce surrender. As long as the conditions are right, you can agree to food and cloth. As long as Yizhou is captured, you can get everything back, and there is Shu brocade, which is the best thing in the world!"

Bei Gongli nodded. With the prestige of Bei Gong and his son in Hanyang and Wudu area, it would be easy to win a Guanghan vassal state.

……

After completing the short-term personnel arrangement, another day later, Li Yao personally sent Hu Zhen, Li Jue, and Bei Gongli away, while he himself led the troops to stay in Nanzheng, preparing to manage Hanzhong well, and first recruited Yang Song and Yang Bai.

The original intention is to let them coordinate, so that we can make full use of Hanzhong's manpower and material resources, build plank roads, and connect Hanzhong and Guanzhong.

But unexpectedly, Yang Song gave Li Yao a big surprise. Yang Song talked about the internal situation of Yizhou:
"General, Yizhou Mu has not been unanimously supported in Yizhou. In order to seize power in the past two years, he has created many unjust, false and wrong cases, killed famous people in Yizhou, and suppressed local forces..."

"Jia Long and Ren Qi, who once welcomed him into Yizhou, raised troops to rebel, but Yizhou Mu relied heavily on outsiders, gathered Dongzhou faction, formed Dongzhou soldiers, and suppressed all internal rebellions. Only then did Yizhou Mu truly secure his position as Yizhou Mu!"

Hearing this, Li Yao immediately thought of more. If there are conflicts, they can be separated, and even more so, they can be drawn together, so he said:
"Then, sir, you have three or five good friends in Sichuan. I hope you can write to them and secretly surrender to the imperial court. Liu Yan will only perish in the end. They will abandon the dark and turn to the bright as soon as possible, so that there will be a way out in the future!"

Yang Song was overjoyed. Being able to do things for Li Yao meant that he was valuable, and he would have a brighter future in the future. He said quickly:

"General, don't worry, I have made friends with many people in Shuzhong. When they were persecuted, they even wanted to come to Hanzhong to escape the persecution. I will write a letter when I get back, and I will definitely persuade them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!"

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction:

"Sir is so loyal, I will definitely remember..."

Yang Song was waiting for this sentence!
