Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 573 Liu Zhang Mobilizes Troops
Early the next morning, as soon as the gate of Wancheng was opened, a group of people rode towards Yizhou.

However, Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he learned that Lv Bu had made him king, so he quickly summoned all the officials to discuss and said, "Lv Bu and I have never met each other. Now Lv Bu is powerful and mighty in the world. Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Lv Bu are against each other. As a result, one by one was defeated. Now that Lu Bu has made me king, how should I deal with it, please tell me quickly."

"My lord, Lv Bu is powerful, and no one in the world can resist it. Since Lv Bu canonized the lord as king and showed his favor to the lord, the lord might as well send some people to send some money, food and cloth to congratulate Lu Bu as the regent, so as to make a good relationship with Lv Bu in the future. If Lu Bu cannot rule the world, my lord can naturally live in Shu, and if Lv Bu can rule the world, my lord will be able to pave a way for me." Seeing Liu Zhang's question, Fazheng said.

"Mr. Fazheng's words are wrong. Lu Bu is ambitious, and his ambition is in the world. Now he canonize the king without authorization and belongs to the princes. Obviously, he didn't take Emperor Xian seriously. As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, how could he be with Lu Bu? Isn't that right? Let the people of the world laugh and shame the ancestors?" After hearing Fazheng's opinion, Yang Song on the side said with some disdain, obviously not agreeing with Fazheng's opinion.

"Hey, I have lived in Shuzhong for a long time. Although I also have the ambition to revive the Han Dynasty, but my strength is not enough. I was very willing when Yang Biao and other veterans asked me to send troops to Luoyang. However, Zhang Lu was a disaster in Hanzhong. Even if I wanted to Sending troops is also very difficult." Hearing what Yang Song said, Liu Zhang also sighed. At that time, when Yang Biao and others invited him as emperor, Liu Zhang was still very tempted. At that time, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong had already embraced himself. In desperation, Liu Zhang had no choice but to blackmail Zhang Lu's mother and younger brother, but he didn't get any benefits, so that Liu Zhang finally made a decision to completely turn against Zhang Lu. After beheading Zhang Lu's mother's younger brother, the two families fought from time to time, refusing to give in to each other.

"Since the lord has such an idea, why don't you take advantage of Lu Bu's attack on Hebei and send troops to Hanzhong to pacify Hanzhong in one fell swoop. In this way, the lord will not only increase his strength, but also open the way to the Central Plains." See Liu Zhang's intention to develop and grow , Yang Song said from the side.

"My lord, this matter may not be appropriate. Our army is now at war with Zhang Lu. If Lu Bu takes the opportunity to enter, how can our army resist it?" Seeing that Liu Zhang already had the intention of going to Hanzhong, Fazheng next to him said worriedly. .

"Mr. Don't worry too much. I have a unique geographical location in Sichuan. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have always been the only ones who attack others. How can others attack? For many years, we have always adhered to the strategy of defending the territory and self-protection. But now, if we still If we are not in a hurry to increase our strength, we may have to wait to die, once Lu Bu pacifies Hebei and we turn around, we will have no chance again." Seeing that Fazheng had different opinions, Yang Song insisted.

"I'm afraid that if we win Hanzhong, the situation may not improve. If we are taken advantage of by others, it will be difficult to preserve." At this time, Fazheng also sighed, Fazheng is not an ignorant person , the way of nature Liu Zhang's forces are currently facing the situation. Although the strategy of defending the soil and self-protection that he has insisted on for many years has preserved Yizhou, it has also caused him to lose the best period of development. Fighting doesn't seem to be a bad thing, so Fazheng sighed and stopped talking.

"My lord, someone outside the door begged to see him, saying that he had something important to report." At this moment, a soldier broke in from outside the door, prostrated himself to the crowd and said.

"Why is it so important that you interrupt our discussion of important matters?" Liu Zhang obviously felt a little unhappy when the soldiers interrupted him, so he shouted.

"My lord, calm down." At this moment, Fazheng stood up quickly to stop Liu Zhang, and then turned to the soldiers and asked, "What's the important thing you said?"

"The person who came here didn't tell me the details. He only said that he came from Wancheng and that he had important military information. That's why I took the liberty to report here." Apparently this soldier was also frightened by Liu Zhang. , replied with some fear.

"What? Came from Wancheng? There is also important military information?" After hearing the soldier's answer, Yang Song who was on the side also felt that the situation was serious, and said in surprise.

"Since that's the case, don't hesitate to invite them here." At this time Liu Zhang finally came to his senses and said hastily.

Soon after, a young man was approached by the soldiers. The young man was obviously dressed from another place.

"Who are you? What military information do you want to report to me?" Yang Song asked at the side when he saw the person coming.

"This is General Zhang Liao sitting down as the school lieutenant. This time, General Zhang Liao has ordered me to come to see Liu Zhang, King of Chengdu." The young man saluted Liu Zhang as soon as he saw him.

"Hehe, although I am far away in the middle of Sichuan, I have heard about the reputation of your General Zhang Liao. I have heard it like thunder. I don't know if your general asked you to come to my remote place. What can I tell you?" Although Lu Bu was powerful, Zhang Liao is Lv Bu's favorite general, but Liu Zhang must be a member of the Han clan, and he is still a little dissatisfied with such a small lieutenant sent by Zhang Liao. It must be that the position of a lieutenant is really low, and Liu Zhang must be already dead now. He is the majestic king of the county.

"Hehe, my general sent me here to announce the good news to the King of Chengdu." The lieutenant didn't care about Liu Zhang's attitude, but said with a smile.

"Happy news? If Zhang Liao wants to congratulate me as the King of Chengdu, it will be a bit late, but it doesn't matter, the king will definitely prepare a generous return gift for you to take back." Hearing what the captain said , Liu Zhang shook his head and said with a smile.

"The king of Chengdu is wrong. I didn't come here for this matter. My general heard that there was some dispute between the king of Chengdu and the king of Hanzhong, so he specially asked the younger one to come here to make peace between the two families. He is the county king of the imperial court, and Jin Cheng will cooperate with him in the future to work together for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty." Seeing Liu Zhang like this, the school captain also said with a smile that was not a smile.

"Hmph, I killed Zhang Lu's old mother and younger brother Zhang Lu, how can I give up? Could it be that if you, a little captain, stand up and say a few words, he, Zhang Lu, will obediently submit?" Hearing what the captain said , Liu Zhang said with a cold snort.

"In this way, Zhang Lu, the king of Hanzhong, and the king of Chengdu are deeply enmity?" Hearing what Liu Zhang said, the captain suddenly changed the subject.

"What's the matter? I'm afraid you're going to waste your trip this time." Liu Zhang said angrily.

"Hahaha, so my general can rest assured." Unexpectedly, after hearing Liu Zhang's words, the captain actually laughed and said: "To be honest, my general has already rectified his troops in Wancheng and wants to attack Hanzhong. I was afraid that the King of Chengdu would send troops to help the King of Hanzhong, so he sent me here to find out the truth. After hearing what the King of Chengdu said today, I can finally go back to the business. I ask the King of Chengdu to forgive me for the offense."

The lieutenant's attitude changed all of a sudden, and Liu Zhang and others were a little confused at that time. They didn't expect such a small lieutenant to be so cunning, and he was talking to himself for a long time.

"I don't know when General Zhang Liao is going to attack Hanzhong, and our army can help a little." Just when Liu Zhang didn't know how to respond, Fazheng beside him spoke.

"This? I'm afraid it's not good to exhaust the soldiers and horses of Yizhou?" Upon hearing Fazheng's words, the captain obviously felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, it is my duty to contribute to the imperial court. What's the matter? My lord is a benevolent and righteous king. General Zhang Liao sent troops to attack Zhang Lu. How can my general not send troops to help the battle?" Song also recalled the memory, winked at Liu Zhang and said.

"At this time, I really can't make the decision. I'd better wait until I go back and talk to General Zhang Liao, and then I will reply to you adults." Speaking of this, the captain was obviously a little embarrassed.

"If that's the case, I'll be sorry. I'll wait for your message." At this moment, Fazheng stepped forward and sent the captain out and said.

"Zhang Liao is going to attack Hanzhong, isn't it just the right time to get rid of Zhang Lu? Why do we send troops to help Zhang Liao?" After the captain left, Liu Zhang asked the two of them.Although Liu Zhang didn't understand what the two of them meant just now, Fazheng and Yang Song are people Liu Zhang trusts very much. Liu Zhang understood that they must have seen something, so he asked the school captain Fang as soon as he left.

"My lord, please think about it. If Zhang Liao wins Hanzhong, what will he do next?" At this time, Fazheng said solemnly to Liu Zhang.

"This? You mean that Zhang Liao will march into Yizhou after taking Hanzhong? Isn't Yizhou in danger?" Liu Zhang is not a fool, but he didn't turn the corner for a while. Reminder, I immediately understood the seriousness of this time.

"So we can only take Hanzhong before Zhang Liao and keep Zhang Liao's army out of Hanzhong, so that we can truly guarantee the safety of Yizhou." Yang Song continued.

"In this way, I understand, but I'm afraid it will not be easy to win Hanzhong." Liu Zhang also coveted Hanzhong, but Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was not incompetent, which made Liu Zhang still a little worried.

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is just relying on some mobs. As long as our army overwhelms the border and captures Yangping Pass, Hanzhong will be in our pocket." Seeing that Liu Zhang was still hesitant, Fazheng said.

"Okay, that's the decision. Immediately mobilize troops and horses to besiege Yangping Pass." At this time, Liu Zhang didn't hesitate anymore, and suddenly slapped the table in front of him and said.

A few days later, outside the city of Chengdu, flags fluttered, and tens of thousands of soldiers were ready to go. It was Liu Zhang's vanguard army prepared to attack Hanzhong.Due to the sudden incident, Liu Zhang can only mobilize these troops for a while, but fortunately, the border between Zhouzhou and Hanzhong has never been peaceful, so Yizhou has tens of thousands of troops stationed there all the year round. In the short term, these troops are enough.
