Chapter 538: Already Arranged

"Your Majesty predicts the enemy first, and Yang Hong admires it! It's ridiculous to be so stupid as to urge the Lord!"

Thinking of his "hard-heartedness" to Liu Zhang during this period of time, Yang Hong was embarrassed for a while, and his face blushed unconsciously.

"Ji Xiumo wants to do this, I am very pleased that you can do your best!"

Naturally, Liu Zhang would not laugh at Yang Hong. After this incident, he could trust Yang Hong even more.

"Half a year ago, Liu Ye, the right military adviser, noticed the crisis in Yizhou. In fact, I thought it was too outrageous at the beginning, but out of trust in the military adviser, I chose to act in this scene."

"When the three-way emergency report was made, in order to create an atmosphere of fear in Yizhou and make the enemy more confident, I didn't explain the situation to you in detail."

A powerful enemy suddenly invaded the country. If the entire Yizhou looked reckless from top to bottom, then people would definitely notice the problem.

However, the facts proved that Liu Zhang was thinking too much. No matter whether it was Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, or Han Sui, no one was investigating the movement of Chengdu.

Perhaps in their view, Liu Zhang is absolutely doomed this time, and Yizhou will also fall completely.

"My lord, Shengming! We admire the foresight of the military advisor!"

After this practice, Liu Zhang's boldness once again refreshed the perception of Yizhou aristocratic families.

A young Yangzhou youth in his twenties was awarded the post of right military adviser just after he surrendered!

Not long after taking office, he advised Liu Zhang of the almost impossible potential crisis in Yizhou.

The most astonishing thing is that Liu Zhang believed it, and really worked hard to make a scene with him.

With such a far-sighted wise man assisting such a wise and powerful monarch, it is difficult for Yizhou not to rise!

"Okay, I don't need to say praises! I called you here today, not only to tell everyone the news, but also to discuss Berkshire and Nanzhong matters!"

Hanzhong, the most difficult place at the moment, has won a big victory. For Berkshire and Nanzhong, all the officials have become confident.

"Report...!"

As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, there were cramped shouts outside the door.

"speak!"

"Report to the lord, the fish will report urgently!"

"Let him in!"

It's better to come early than coincidentally. As soon as Liu Zhang finished telling the news of Hanzhong's victory, Xun You sent someone to come.

Regarding the battle of Yufu, Liu Zhang can be said to be indifferent!

The combination of Xun You, Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Wu Yi, and Wu Lan played against the combination of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Cai Zhong, and Liu Pan. Not to mention the difference in strength between the two sides, it can be concluded that Cai Mao has no chance of winning!

Xun You has 20,000 infantry and 10,000 sailors under his command, while Cai Mao has 50,000 sailors under his command.

Although the paper strength of the two sides is quite different, the real strength is completely negligible.

Even when Cai Mao came with 100,000 people, Liu Zhang still felt that he had no chance of winning.

Liu Zhang had actually inspected Yufu and was very clear about its geographical location.

As the east gate of Yizhou where the Three Gorges converge, the water flow is so fast that it is rare in the world. Cai Mao’s desire to go upstream is tantamount to a dream!

Therefore, he could only dock the ship at Wuxian Port, and then let his sailors abandon the ship and land.

The Jingzhou navy has been lax in training, and their water combat capabilities are very limited, not to mention facing the elite Wuwei battalion after landing!

So the result of this battle was doomed from the very beginning!

"My lord, Taishou Xun designed to set fire to Wuxian Port, and then took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch an attack on the Jingzhou camp at night. Taishou Xun's troops split into two groups, attacking front and back, and the Jingzhou army was in chaos. The commander Cai Mao, the military adviser Kuai Yue, Generals Liu Pan, Cai Zhong and others have all been captured!"

"In this campaign, more than 30,000 Jingzhou naval forces were annihilated, more than 10,000 were captured, hundreds of warships of the Jingzhou army were burned, and countless food and supplies were seized!"

"Good! Well done! As expected of Gongda!"

Although the result of the defeat of the Jingzhou Army had been expected, Liu Zhang couldn't help cheering when he actually heard such a rich result.

Another total annihilation! Another hearty victory!

Forget about Cai Mao, Liu Pan and others, but unexpectedly even Kuai Yue was captured!

Who is Kuai Yue?

However, even Cao Cao, who is so greedy for his talents, even said the super high virtue of "I don't like Jingzhou, but I like Kuai Yidu"!

For the Kuai brothers in Jingzhou, Liu Zhang has also longed for it for a long time.

It's a pity that the Kuai family is deeply rooted in Jingzhou. Unless they occupy Jingzhou, there is absolutely no possibility of surrendering.

"My lord, the military adviser asked the lord what to do next, do you want to take advantage of the situation and attack Jingzhou?"

A trace of greed flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, why didn't he want it!

But Jingzhou is not so easy to swallow.

Now the Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Huang families wear the same trousers as Liu Biao. If Xun You marches into Jingzhou, he will undoubtedly face the counterattack of the entire Jingzhou family.

Maybe taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he can capture many cities, but in the end it will be more and more difficult to fight.

Especially the Huang family and the Pang family have not yet made a move. As far as Liu Zhang knows, the Jiangxia Huang family has many elite soldiers.

"Forget it, tell Prefect Xun to send someone to negotiate with Liu Biao. If you want the lives of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, you must show the corresponding sincerity! Zhang Yun and Cai He are also in Chengdu. I will send someone to escort them later. Go to Yufu and hand them over to Gongda."

"Obey!"

The soldiers didn't dare to be careless, and kept every word Liu Zhang said in their hearts.

"By the way, tell Gongda, don't be merciful, the craftsmen who build warships must ask for more! In a word, Liu Biao will be killed!"

"Obey!"

In fact, Liu Zhang still wanted some talents to come, but after thinking about the famous civil and military people in Jingzhou, almost all of them came from aristocratic families, so he gave up this idea.

This time Xun You wiped out Liu Biao's 50,000 sailors, which raised the morale of all the civil and military forces in Chengdu to the extreme.

There is no doubt in the eyes of all civil servants!

Now that the enemy forces outside Yizhou have been dealt with, what threat can some barbarians in Nanzhong pose?

Maybe we can use this opportunity to pacify Nanzhong in one fell swoop, not necessarily!

After all, their protagonist is the invincible and far-sighted Liu Zhang!

"Everyone, Ma Teng and Han Sui fled in despair, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue tied their hands one after another, and Yuan Shao's self-righteous plan was completely in vain!"

"Now that the crisis in Yizhou has been completely resolved, Yongzheng and others in Nanzhong are already alone! I have decided to lead the army south!"

"This campaign must completely resolve the Nanzhong issue and regain Yizhou and Yongchang counties in one fell swoop!"

After Liu Zhang announced his decision to go south in person, no one stopped him, and even the ministers' eyes were full of excitement.

Perhaps the Nanzhong issue that has plagued the Han Dynasty for four hundred years will finally be resolved.

Perhaps the day when all the 12 counties in Yizhou will be attached to the State Shepherd's Mansion is finally coming!

Once Yizhou is completely pacified, the world will surely shake. How will the princes from all over the place resist the sharp spears from the God of War in Bashu!
