Wang Can led the army south from Xieguguan, traveled day and night, and arrived at Nanzheng as quickly as possible. This expedition to Xiliang, defeating Ma Teng and Han Sui, and moving Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, was considered a satisfactory solution.
The incident in Liangzhou.
Wang Can arrived in Nanzheng County and immediately found Zhang Liao.
Nanzheng County, County Sheriff's Office.
Wang Can sat on the main seat in the hall, his eyes falling on Zhang Liao. At this time, Zhang Liao was very different from the one who had just surrendered to Wang Can two years ago. Zhang Liao led his soldiers to station in Hanzhong County, presiding over the overall situation and maintaining the entire Hanzhong.
The stability of the county, although Zhang Liao's own abilities have been improved, although he did not fight everywhere.
Wang Can asked directly: "Wenyuan, you are in Hanzhong and know the situation in Nanyang County best. Tell us!"
"promise!"
Zhang Liao replied, and then said: "A month ago, Liu Bei led an army of 60,000 to attack Nanyang County. He led his troops to attack Wancheng, and first ordered Zhang Xiu to surrender, but Zhang Xiu refused and was unwilling to surrender to Liu Bei. Liu Bei therefore attacked Nanyang.
Although Liu Bei was stronger than Zhang Xiu in the county, Zhang Xiu was not a good opponent. He set up strongholds at various passes to intercept Liu Bei everywhere. As a result, Liu Bei's army would be blocked wherever it went.
We are traveling very slowly and have not reached Wancheng yet."
After Wang Can listened, he said: "Yuzhou has suffered from wars many times. The people are tired and their livelihood is difficult. I didn't expect Liu Bei to raise an army of 60,000 so quickly. It's so fast!"
After a pause, Wang Can continued: "Let's talk about the personnel arrangements of Liu Bei's army."
Zhang Liao immediately replied: "Liu Bei personally led the army, with Chen Gong as the military advisor, Zhang Fei as the general, and the rest were just little-known generals."
Wang Can turned his eyes, looked at Guo Jia, and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you have in mind?"
Guo Jia had been thinking about Liu Bei's attack on Zhang Xiu along the way. He already had a plan in his mind and said: "My lord, I thought that Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei were still in a stalemate. There was no obvious winner or loser, and there was no need for us to directly
Kill them. Therefore, I suggest you station troops in Shangyong County, and then gradually advance based on the situation of Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu, waiting for the opportunity!"
Wang Can nodded and agreed.
Zhang Liao then said: "My lord, how many soldiers do we need to recruit for this expedition?"
Wang Can asked: "Wenyuan, how many soldiers can Hanzhong County recruit?"
Hearing this, a trace of pride flashed across Zhang Liao's face.
He said loudly: "Hanzhong County has a good foundation. After several years of development, it has become prosperous and prosperous, and its population has increased a lot. The number and quality of soldiers recruited by the generals have also continued to improve. It is roughly estimated that 50,000 troops can be recruited
.”
fifty thousand?
After Zhang Liao finished speaking, the generals in the hall all showed surprised expressions.
Just one Hanzhong County can recruit 50,000 soldiers, which is amazing enough.
When Wang Can led the army to conquer Xiliang, he specially recruited some soldiers from Hanzhong County. But now he can recruit 50,000 troops, which really surprised everyone. There are at least nine counties in Yizhou. If on average, each county can provide five
Ten thousand people, already more than 400,000 troops, this is a very scary figure.
Zhang Ren said in a deep voice: "General Wenyuan, an army of fifty thousand is not a small number!"
Zhang Liao smiled and said: "General Zhang, don't worry. For Hanzhong County, 50,000 troops can be easily recruited, and these are well-trained soldiers. If ordinary people are recruited in the entire Hanzhong County immediately, it will be a hundred thousand troops."
Also available.”
These words were said with full confidence.
After Zhang Ren listened, he stopped talking.
Wang Can repeatedly praised: "As expected of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, it is indeed right for you to guard Hanzhong and train troops. Hanzhong County provides 50,000 soldiers, plus the more than 10,000 soldiers I brought back, which is enough to defeat Liu Bei."
Guo Jia smiled and joked: "My lord, Liu Bei defeated Guan Yu last time. If he knew that you were leading troops to kill him, I wonder if he would abandon Zhang Xiu and attack Yizhou directly!"
Wang Can said loudly: "If Liu Bei dares to come, I dare to kill him."
…
Nanyang County, Anle County.
When Liu Bei attacked Zhang Xiu, he did not attack in a straight line.
The north of Nanyang County is Cao Cao's jurisdiction and borders Cao Cao. At the same time, Nanyang County is also bordering Liu Biao's jurisdiction. If Liu Bei attacks Zhang Xiu from the north, it will easily arouse the vigilance of Cao Cao's garrison, so Liu Bei's strategy is to attack from the south.
Although Zhang Xiu is close to Liu Biao's jurisdiction, Liu Bei and Liu are allies and have no relationship.
Liu Bei fought all the way, and it took him a month to finally reach Anle County.
This journey has not been smooth.
All the counties they encountered resisted, and no general chose to surrender. Even if they lost to Liu Bei, they delayed the progress of Liu Bei's army, and then quickly retreated, preventing Liu Bei's army from speeding up. After Liu Bei led his army to Anle County,
, it took four days to conquer Anle County.
However, Liu Bei did not feel the slightest joy in his heart.
The city was captured, but not a single grain of grain was found in the city's storehouses, which were all emptied.
This situation made Liu Bei very angry.
The army was stationed outside the county seat of Anle County to rest for a day.
In the county government office, Liu Bei was handling military affairs in his study.
"Boom! Boom!"
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Chen Gong's voice came from outside the study. Liu Bei immediately let Chen Gong in. After Chen Gong sat down, he asked: "Gongtai, what's the matter?"
Chen Gong looked solemn and said: "My lord, Wang Can has returned to Hanzhong and started taking action."
When Wang Can was mentioned, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a stern look.
He clenched the brush in his hand and said in a deep voice: "This has been expected for a long time. It's not surprising."
Chen Gong looked at Liu Bei's calm and calm expression, and his heart settled down.
Compared with Lu Bu, although Liu Bei does not have Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts skills, he is countless times stronger than Lu Bu. Chen Gong works under Liu Bei and is highly regarded by Liu Bei. He is like a fish in water and does his best. No matter whether it is for Liu Bei
Chen Gong admired Liu Bei's ability as well as his moral character and was convinced from the bottom of his heart.
Corporal Li Xian!
Benevolence for the people!
This was Chen Gong's inner evaluation of Liu Bei, but Chen Gong was still a little disappointed.
Liu Bei was almost forty years old, but he had no heirs, which made Chen Gong very worried. Cao Cao had a lot of sons, so he had no heirs to worry about; Wang Can also had two sons, and there was no shortage of them; so did Sun Jian and Liu Biao.
There were no heirs, but Liu Bei had no heir, which made Chen Gong feel a little worried.
Having no heirs will have some impact after all.
Chen Gong took a deep breath and asked: "Master, since Wang Can is here, do you want the other side to start moving too?"
Liu Bei asked: "Military advisor, do you think it's appropriate?"
Chen Gong nodded solemnly and replied: "We are in the critical period of attacking Zhangxiu. It is very important. If Wang Can leads his troops and suddenly intervenes, it will have an impact on the morale and progress of our army. Let people contain it earlier.
Wang Can, we can arrange things calmly and have more time to deal with Zhang Xiu, I think it can be started."
Liu Bei nodded and said: "In that case, the military advisor will send a message."
Chen Gong bowed his hands to Liu Bei, then stood up and left the study.
Liu Bei put down the bamboo slips in his hands and shouted: "Come here, please invite the three generals to come to the study." Wang Can's arrival made Liu Bei unable to calm down. Guan Yu's death was a knot in Liu Bei's heart that could no longer be resolved. He listened to Chen
The palace said that Wang Can led the troops, and it was difficult to calm down.
He is like this, let alone Zhang Fei?
Therefore, Liu Bei had to appease Zhang Fei to prevent Zhang Fei from being impulsive and causing trouble.
