Chapter 1328: Sun Wu Moved, a Surprise Came to Life

Zhang Song said:

"Liu Bei has always been afraid of one person, and that is Cao Cao. Since Liu Bei took Xuzhou, he was defeated by Cao Cao many times. He was exhausted and fled to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

"Although Cao Cao has been destroyed now, Duke Yan and Yuan Xi's military strategy is ten times stronger than Cao Cao's! If Duke Yan can be asked to send troops to rescue Xichuan, Liu Bei will definitely flee in a hurry and never dare to spy on Xichuan again. "

Liu Zhang couldn't help but nodded and said, "Duke Yan's wisdom is indeed stronger than Cao Cao, and his strength is several times stronger than that of Liu Bei. It's just... since Duke Yan didn't take Xichuan's heart, would he stop Liu Bei because of the remoteness of Sichuan? ?”

Zhang Song said with a smile: "My lord is too worried. In the eyes of Lord Yan, Liu Bei is different from my lord. He will not be satisfied with a corner of Xichuan. If Liu Bei takes Xichuan, he will definitely invade Hanzhong, and even threaten Guanzhong, just like the story of the great ancestor who came out of Sichuan. Therefore, for Duke Yan, it is no problem for you to own Xichuan, my lord, but Liu Bei must not allow Xichuan to take Xichuan."

What Zhang Song said, the subtext is that Liu Zhang is not as good as Liu Bei, and has no ambitions.

However, Liu Zhang was not angry, but said, "Duke Yan is already a teacher. I need to trouble you to go and persuade him to turn around."

Huang Quan hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't! Liu Bei is a jackal, and Lord Yan is a tiger and a leopard. In order to drive away a jackal, I invited a tiger. Isn't it drinking poison to quench my thirst?"

Wang Lei also persuaded: "Although Duke Yan has no intention of accepting Sichuan on the surface, if he is invited to Sichuan, he will definitely change his mind and seize Yizhou! I, the people of Yizhou, can stop Liu Bei, but they will never be able to stop him." Duke Yan's army. May the lord investigate carefully!"

Liu Zhang hesitated.

Zhang Song suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Song stopped laughing, and said: "I laugh at Master Huang and Wang Zong. They are all unfounded worries. I just need to contact Lord Yan and ask him to send a general to attack Jiameng Pass, and stop Liu Bei's way back; When did you invite Duke Yan to enter Sichuan? If Liu Bei is cut off, the food and grass will be low, the morale of the army will be disturbed, and sooner or later he will be captured by the lord. In this way, we can stop Liu Bei without the need for Duke Yan to enter Sichuan."

Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Duke Yan has no intention of plotting to benefit the state. Although he is powerful, he is harmless to me. Zhang Biejia's words are justified."

Zhang Song said: "My lord, please send the letter as soon as possible, lest Duke Yan's army withdraw from Hanzhong."

Huang Quan and Wang Lei still persuaded him. Liu Zhang scolded: "I don't even have the confidence to stop Liu Bei, what can you do? Don't let me connect with Duke Yan, I will become Liu Bei's prisoner sooner or later!"

After reprimanding the two men, Liu Zhang quickly revised the book and still sent Zhang Song north to Hanzhong for help.

Zhang Song refused to go back and forth, and had a "foot disease" attack, making it difficult to travel far; then he recommended his friend Fazheng to go north with books, and Liu Zhang agreed.

...

Hanzhong, Nanzheng City.

Zhang He received the letter from Fazheng, Qian Liufa was resting at the post, and then went to report to Bai Xiaowen.

At this time, Bai Xiaowenming had evacuated Hanzhong apparently, but actually stayed there, waiting for a good opportunity.

After reading Liu Zhang's letter asking for help, Bai Xiaowen laughed and said, "Zhang Song is really my right arm, and he perfectly realized my preliminary plan."

Hearing that the envoy was Fazheng, Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "This is Zhang Song who does not forget his old friends. He does not want to be alone, but wants to let his friends share the wealth and honor, so he asked Fazheng to come here. Hurry up and meet,

Don't wait. "

Bai Xiaowen personally received Fazheng.

When Fazheng saw Bai Xiaowen, he said happily, "I knew it was impossible for Duke Yan to leave Hanzhong unintentionally for Yizhou! That Zhang Yongnian is still hiding things from me."

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "With the talent of filial piety and straightness (fingering and righteousness), why do you need Yongnian to say it clearly. My intention is Xichuan, and I must not let Liu Zhang be separated from the outside, let alone Liu Bei."

Fazheng nodded and said, "Duke Yan, although the current situation is favorable, it is not the best time to enter the game."

Bai Xiaowen asked with a smile: "Xiaozhi thinks, when is it appropriate to enter the game?"

Fazheng said: "Liu Bei has already captured Fushui Pass, and his troops are pointing directly at Luocheng. Although Liu Zhang sent troops to guard Luocheng, but we estimate the strength of the two armies. Liu Gui and other four generals will certainly not be able to stop Liu Bei. Taken down by Liu Bei!

"At that time, Liu Bei's army will directly attack Chengdu. However, the walls of Chengdu are high and thick, and there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The internal food and grass can be used for a year. With external hope, Liu Zhang will not surrender immediately, and Chengdu can still support a period of time.

"Yan Gong waited until the fall of Luocheng before sending troops. There are two advantages: first, it can lengthen Liu Bei's battle line, and it is too late to return to Jiameng Pass and Fushui Pass, and the back road has been cut off by Yan Gong, so he can't look at each other from the beginning to the end! , Liu Zhang lost most of Xichuan, and he was incapable of preventing Yan Gong from taking Xichuan when he was in danger. This is killing two birds with one stone."

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Zhang Song once said that filial piety and straightness have many talents, and he is indeed a man of no vain under his reputation. There is another advantage of the strategy you have set up for loneliness: thirdly, if Liu Bei is trapped in Xichuan, Jingzhou will have no owner If you are alone, you can order a general to take advantage of the situation."

Fazheng praised: "Yan Gong thinks far and wide, and I can't do it."

At present, Bai Xiaowen hosted a banquet, let Xun You and the generals accompany him, and the guests and hosts had a good time.

During the banquet, someone came to report suddenly, and there was an urgent letter from Ye.

Bai Xiaowen opened and read the letter, and when he opened it, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

Xun You observed his words and expressions, and asked, "My lord, is something happening in Ye?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "It's not that something happened in Yedu, but Sun Ce of Jiangdong took action." After that, he passed the letter from Dong Zhao to everyone present, and Fazheng was no exception.

After reading it, Xun You was surprised and said: "Sun Ce sent troops to the north to attack Wancheng, and the soldiers pointed directly at Hefei ("Hefei" in the ancient work)! My lord, Hefei is the throat of Huainan, and its strategic position is extremely important. If Jiangdong wins Hefei, he can Go north to Xu and Henan, and compete for the Central Plains; if the Central Plains has Hefei, it can strangle the throat of the south of the Yangtze River and hold its back. If Hefei is lost, the land of Huainan will no longer be owned by the lord."

Among the people at the banquet, if anyone wanted to say who knew the strategic significance of Hefei the most, the only one was Xun You from Cao Cao's former department.

Why doesn't Bai Xiaowen know the importance of Hefei?

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after the Chibi War, Sun - the good son of another family - Shiwan - Zhongmou's classmate, had repeatedly conquered in person, just to occupy Hefei. Of course, he also unfortunately became the gift package of Zhang-Xiaoyaojin-Wenyuan's classmate's experience. The legendary myth of 8 million breaking 100,000 has left a strong mark in the novel.

Due to Zhang Liao's outstanding performance against Sun Quan, Hefei has always been firmly in the hands of the Cao Group.

Zhang He said: "The Central Plains is the foundation of our army, and the two Sichuans are of secondary importance. My lord, you should not hesitate. You should return to Yedu as soon as possible, raise your troops to the south, and solve the difficulties in Hefei!"
