Chapter 697 Foresight

But Zhang Lu breathed out slowly: "Today, Zhang Ren has escaped into the mountains, and Yangping Pass may be difficult to regain. It is the main road leading to Bashu, a place that must be contested by military strategists. What should we do?"

Next, Pang Tong took a sip of wine: "This is also inevitable. Xiliang Xiaoqi is good at field warfare in the plains, and mountain warfare is the specialty of the Bashu people. If you abandon your horse and go to the mountains to fight fiercely, you may not be able to win, but you will suffer from it. "

Zhang Lun nodded: "That's the truth, but Yangping Pass is very important, but now it's in the hands of the thieves, so we're relatively passive!"

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "Brother Gongqi, don't worry, Zhang Ren, the number one general in Sichuan, was defeated by a certain move, how can the rest of Xiaoxiao fight against a certain one? Although we can't win Yangping Pass, we can make it impossible It couldn’t be easier to get out.”

"Brother Gongqi, don't worry!"

Pang Tong smiled lightly and comforted him: "To be honest, my Highness has already expected that the mountains and rivers in central Shu are steep, and the usual tactics may not be effective, so I have already arranged for someone to study mountain warfare, at least half a year, and at most three years. The army will succeed!"

Zhang Lu was overjoyed: "King Haotian is so prescient!"

Zhang Wei was even more excited: "King Haotian has never used troops against Xichuan before, but he can have such a foresight. It is really admirable. No wonder he can sweep the world."

Ma Chao nodded with great interest: "King Haotian really deserves to be the King of Haotian, I admire it, I really admire it!"

Pang Tong took a long breath: "Yes! Originally, the lord handed over Xichuan to my subordinates, but I didn't expect that the matter was done first by the lord. I am really ashamed!"

Ma Chao hurriedly comforted: "The military commander can't say that. If you didn't devise a clever plan to defeat the enemy today, how could we have achieved such great results? Zhang Renpifu was almost wiped out!"

Zhang Lu quickly echoed: "Yes, the military advisor must not underestimate himself. King Haotian can entrust Xichuan to the military advisor, which is enough to prove that the military advisor is the best in the world!"

Pang Tong clasped his hands hurriedly and said, "I'm ashamed of you for your false praise."

Yizhou.

Chengdu.

Early the next morning.

Chongde Hall!

Liu Zhang sat on top of the dragon, and with the sound of bells and drums, the court meeting began.

Xiao Huangmen squeezed his throat, and Fochen shook it lightly: "Play early if there is something to do, and retreat to the court if there is nothing to do!"

Under it, a person flashed out, and everyone regarded it as Huang Quan.

There seemed to be something wrong with Huang Quan's expression, his brows were furrowed, and his body trembled slightly. He didn't know how much courage he mustered to stand up.

Liu Zhang knew at a glance that nothing good happened, but he still asked, "Why? But what happened?"

Huang Quan bowed and took a long breath: "Your Majesty, the general..."

Liu Zhang's eyes flashed instantly: "What? But Nanzheng has already been taken? Yesterday's battle report said that Yangping Pass has been taken. Presumably, Nanzheng should be taken today."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Liu Zhang looked up and laughed a few times: "The general really deserves to be a general. I heard that he has prepared for this battle for five full years. Today, the sword is unsheathed, and it is really sharp!"

"I want to mark him with a great military exploit, what should I reward him with?"

Liu Zhang fell into deep thought.

a long time!

He suddenly found that the mood of the courtiers in the palace was not right.

If it is a good news, all the courtiers in the hall will definitely be boiling at this moment. Although they will not be able to shout long live, at least they will have to kiss two asses!

But now?

Look at these squinting eyes and crooked mouths, bowing their heads and looking at each other without saying a word, they thought they were doing something shady!

Liu Zhang turned his attention to Huang Quan: "What's wrong, Gongheng? Is it..."

Huang Quan took a deep breath, as if he had made an extremely important decision, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, after receiving the defeat this morning, General Zhang Ren was attacking Nanzheng. Zheng, he also defeated the army!"

Huang Quan tried to keep things simple! Almost all the blame was placed on Night Breeze, and Zhang Ren's battle damage was deliberately hidden.

fiasco?

What kind of fiasco?

Huang Quan is really embarrassed to say the words "the whole army is wiped out"!

If he hadn't broken into Jigong Mountain forcefully, it is very likely that the number one warrior in Sichuan would have become a corpse.

Unfortunately so!

Liu Zhang still showed an expression of astonishment!

"The general is defeated?"

"How is this possible? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"He has been preparing for this battle for five full years, and his subordinates are all elites from the central Sichuan province, all of whom are brave and good at fighting. How could such an army be defeated!"

"You are partial to me! How dare you lie to me!"

Whoosh!

Liu Zhang was so angry that his face turned red!

There is nothing more unbearable than such a blow.

Yesterday I drew a picture of a magnificent prospect for you, but today I directly poured a basin of cold water on my head, it felt so cold, my heart was flying, and only I knew all kinds of sourness.

Liu Zhang's spirit fell to the bottom in an instant, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden!

The entire hall was as quiet as a chilling cicada, without a single sound.

quite a while!

Huang Quanfang continued to speak: "But Your Majesty, things are not without a turnaround. At least Yangping Pass is still in our hands. As long as Yangping Pass is in our hands, Hanzhong is the fish on the chopping board. We can eat whatever we want. Time to eat!"

Second best?

Liu Zhang let out a long breath and waved his hands casually.

The little yellow gate next to him immediately understood, and took a step forward: "Retreat!"

Huang Quan and other ministers saluted together: "My emperor..."

Liu Zhang was furious, raised his head and yelled loudly: "Get out! Get out of here!"

All the ministers knew that the emperor was angry, so they hurriedly bowed and retreated, not daring to say a word!

Huang Quan has something to say in his heart, he doesn't want to offend the emperor, but it's his duty, so he has to mention it!

Twice in trouble!

Huang Quan stayed in place silently until all the ministers retreated.

Liu Zhang raised his head: "Gongheng, why don't you leave? Are you trying to piss me off?"

Huang Quan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I feel that we must not be discouraged at this time. Yangping Pass is facing enormous pressure. Your Majesty should send people to help."

Liu Zhang got up slowly and waved his hands: "You can figure it out, don't bother me!"

This is what Huang Quan wants!

Now that your emperor has opened his mouth, we naturally have to give it a go.

Now that Yangping is in his hands, as long as he is guarded, no matter how powerful Night Breeze is, he will never even get half a step into Xichuan!

He bowed and exited the hall, and hurried towards Shang's study room in high spirits!

Send troops!

support!

Yangping Pass.

The large camp of the garrison and the large tent of the Chinese army.

Zhang Ren sat in the center, and his ministers and generals lined up on both sides.

Lei Tong frowned: "General, Ma Chao is the hero of Xiliang. Since Lu Bu was defeated, he has been a god among the Qiang people. I heard that he is as brave as Lu Bu!"
