Chapter 435: Persuasion is true
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Yan Fengbu was defeated, and Liu Xiujun's army captured Anxiang, Anding, Linping, and Zhencheng in the north of Julu County at once, and his reputation and prestige were greatly enhanced.
After the Battle of Zhencheng, the number of people who came to defect to Liu Xiu began to proliferate, and the most prominent of them was Liu Zhi of Changcheng, Xindu County.
When Liu Xiu was patrolling Hebei, Liu Zhi wanted to take refuge in Liu Xiu, and when he was waiting for Liu Xiu to arrive in Changcheng, Wang Lang suddenly proclaimed himself emperor in Handan and rewarded Liu Xiu with a heavy amount of money.
At this time, Liu Xiudong was hiding in Tibet, and Liu Zhi couldn't find where Liu Xiuren was. As soon as he discussed it with his fellow clansmen, he simply reversed.
Liu Zhi took his relatives and doormen, a total of thousands of people up and down, killed the county commander and county lieutenant of Changcheng, and occupied Changcheng in one fell swoop.
Liu Xiu fought a decisive battle with Yan Fengbu in Zhencheng, and Liu Zhi, who was in Changcheng, heard about this and immediately led thousands of people including his brothers Liu Xi and Liu Xin to come to Zhencheng and defect to Liu Xiu.
It's just that they came a step too late, and when they arrived in Zhencheng, the battle here was over, and Liu Xiujun won a complete victory, killing the 30,000 troops under Yan Feng's command, and Yan Feng himself was also slashed by Wu Han.
Although he failed to catch up with the war, Liu Xiu gave great courtesy to the arrival of Liu Zhi and others, and respected him as guests, which made Liu Zhi and others quite useful, and they became more and more determined to join Liu Xiu's idea.
When others fight, they usually fight with fewer and fewer troops, but Liu Xiu fights on the contrary, his troops always fight more and more.
Take the present as an example, before the decisive battle with Yan Feng, Liu Xiu's troops were only more than 10,000 people, but after this battle, Liu Xiu's troops surged to 20,000 in a very short time.
The surrender of Liu Zhi alone increased Liu Xiu's strength by more than 4,000 people.
On this day, Liu Xiu and his generals gathered at his temporary residence in Zhencheng. In the lobby, everyone greeted each other.
In some literary works, Geng Chun is written as Geng Yi's father, which is pure nonsense.
Geng Chun is a native of Julu County, in modern times, he is from Hebei, Geng Yi is from Qifeng County, and in modern times he is from Shaanxi.
However, it is true that the two of them are in the same hall. After everyone greeted each other, they sat down one after another. Wang Ba looked left and right, and took the lead in speaking: "Lord, in the battle of Zhencheng, our army won a complete victory, Wang Lang's vitality was greatly damaged, our army should take advantage of the victory to attack, go south to take Julu City, and then seize the entire Julu County."
, first take the giant deer, and then take Guangping, and then you can take Handan directly! ”
When Zhu You heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said loudly: "The last general seconded the proposal!" ”
Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Wu Han and Geng Yi and asked, "What do Ziyan and Bo Zhao think?" ”
The former didn't think about it, and arched his hand to Liu Xiu and said: "As long as the lord has an order, the last general can immediately lead his troops south and take Julu City directly!" ”
Geng Yi also said: "The last general is willing to join hands with Ziyan to conquer Julu City!" ”
Hearing that Wu Han and Geng Yi both supported their proposal to immediately go south and capture Julu City, Wang Ba and Zhu You grinned excitedly and nodded at the two of them.
Liu Xiu didn't speak immediately, pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at Deng Yu and Kou Sui again, and asked, "Zhong Hua and Ziyi also think that our army should go south to capture Julu City?" ”
Deng Yu shook his head with a smile and did not speak. Kou Sui was pale and owed, and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that it is too early to send troops south. ”
Take the giant deer first, then take Guangping, and finally take Handan, which is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it. First of all, Wang Lang's forces are not yet seriously damaged, the main force is still there, and there are many more soldiers under his command than his own.
Second, their sphere of influence is far from being consolidated, and they are in a hurry to advance and risk chaos in the rear. He frowned slightly and said, "At present, the biggest and most direct threat to our side is not Wang Lang, but Zhending!" ”
Now Liu Xiubu has occupied the northern part of Zhongshan County and Julu County, and Zhendingguo is sandwiched between Zhongshan and Julu. The area of Zhending Country is not large, only a small land, but it has a large population and a large number of troops, with more than 100,000 people.
When Liu Xiu led the army south, once the country suddenly attacked, the rear was in an emergency, and the soldiers fighting in the front must be in great turmoil, and there was a danger of annihilation of the whole army.
Wu Han slapped the table and said loudly: "Lord, our army can be calmed down first!" ”
Liu Xiu did not answer. Zhending is not easy to fight, Zhending Wang Liu Yang has always been false to Wang Lang, but Wang Lang's army is fighting in the east and west, but he never dares to touch Zhending.
It can also be seen from this that when Wang Lang was the most general, he was afraid of Zhending.
What's more, now, the total strength of his own side is only 20,000 people, and Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, has an army of more than 100,000, in terms of strength, the difference between the two sides is too great.
Just when Liu Xiu was secretly pondering, Geng Chun bowed and said: "Lord, my subordinates think that it is not appropriate to meet with King Zhending, so they can try to win them over!" ”
Geng Chun and Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, have some relatives. Liu Yang's mother, Geng, and Geng Chun are from the family. In terms of seniority, Geng Chun is Liu Yang's nephew.
Of course, the relationship between the two of them is relatively estranged, and they can't talk about a deep friendship. Geng Chun did not recommend using force against Liu Yang, and considered it completely from his own position.
His current strength is 20,000, Liu Yang's army is 100,000, 20,000 against 100,000, it is not easy to fight, even if he wins in the end, it will be a big loss of vitality, when Wang Lang's army attacks, what will he do to deal with it?
Moreover, Liu Yang has always verbally supported Wang Lang, in fact, he has not given Wang Lang a single soldier, obviously, Liu Yang and Wang Lang are not the same heart, for such a person, they should do their best to fight for it. After he finished speaking, before others could speak, Liu Zhi bowed down and said, "Lord, my subordinates think that Boshan is reasonable. At present, if we move troops against King Zhending, we will only let Wang Lang sit back and enjoy his success, and we should strive to win King Zhending to our side
Side. In addition, the subordinates have some friendship with the king of Zhending, and the subordinates are willing to send an envoy to Zhending and persuade the king of Zhending to take refuge in the lord! ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes lit up. Kou Sui is right, now for Liu Xiu, the big trouble is really certain. This projectile land, sandwiched between Zhongshan and Julu, but sitting on an army of 100,000, if it falls to Wang Lang's side, it will pose a huge threat to its own side, on the other hand, if it can fall to its own side, it can use its own strength,
Instantly elevated to the momentum of Wang Lang.
Therefore, it is very important for Liu Yang, the true king of the truth, to support himself or Wang Lang. Liu Xiu leaned forward and asked, "Uncle Xian's envoy is really determined, are you sure?" ”
Liu Zhizi Boxian. Liu Xiu asked him if he was sure, not to persuade Liu Yang, but whether he would worry about his life if he was really determined.
After all, Liu Yang still verbally supports Wang Lang, and Liu Zhi has taken refuge in his side, and he and Liu Yang are already in two camps.
Liu Zhi smiled and arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, it's worth this trip, and I'm very sure." ”
Liu Xiu nodded, and said thoughtfully: "If Bo Xian can convince King Zhending, it will no longer be difficult for us to quell the Hebei Rebellion!" ”
Liu Zhi didn't lie, he did have a friendship with Liu Yang. Liu Zhi's Liu family is a powerful family in Xindu County, with many clansmen, more friends and friends, and a very high prestige and status.
Wang Lang was proclaimed emperor in Handan, Liu Zhi dared to rebel in Changcheng, and successfully occupied Changcheng, so that the county government had nothing to do with him, which shows how strong Liu Zhi is in Xindu County.
As for Liu Yang, he is the emperor of Zhending, with an army of 100,000, and Yu Zhending is the same. Both are Hebei Haoqiang, and the two are not far apart, and it is normal for them to have a friendship with each other.
Liu Xiu adopted the opinions of Geng Chun and Liu Zhi, and sent Liu Zhi to send an envoy to Zhending to visit Liu Yang, hoping to persuade Liu Yang to fall to his side.
Soon, Liu Zhi was ordered to leave Zhencheng and go to Zhending, the capital of Zhending Kingdom.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhending Country is a small land, the entire Zhending Kingdom has four cities, one is Zhending City, and the other three are Jinman, Feiti, and Manuscript City.
With four cities, it can afford to feed more than 100,000 troops, which shows how well Liu Yang governs the Zhending country. Liu Yang himself, first, is not very good at using soldiers, and second, he is not good at strategy, but his ability to govern the place is definitely outstanding.
Hearing the news of Liu Zhi's visit, Liu Yang was very happy, personally greeted his palace, saw Liu Zhi, and said: "Why is Boxian so idle today and has come to Zhending?" ”
Liu Zhi hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "Bo first visit King Zhending!" ”
"Boxian is too polite, hurry up, please inside, please inside!" Liu Yang was very enthusiastic to invite Liu Zhi into his palace.
Through Liu Yang's attitude towards himself, Liu Zhi became more confident in this trip. He didn't believe that Liu Yang was really determined to ignore the world's affairs. The lord won a great victory in Zhencheng, and it is impossible for Liu Yang not to know about these things when he took refuge in the lord.
Since Liu Yangming knows that he is still so enthusiastic about himself, it can only show one point that Liu Yang's support for Wang Lang is not sincere, at least not so firm.
The two entered the palace and sat down in the lobby. Waiting for the servants to bring the tea, Liu Yang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and asked with a smile: "Where did Bo Yuan come from?" ”
Liu Zhi didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Zhi is from Zhencheng. ”
"Zhencheng? This king heard that Zhencheng is at war! Liu Yang pretended to be surprised.
Liu Zhi secretly rolled his eyes, and Zhengse said: "King Zhending, Da Sima is already in Zhencheng, and he defeated Yan Feng's 30,000 army, and Yan Feng was also killed by Da Sima. ”
Liu Yang had heard about these things a long time ago, but he still deliberately showed surprise. Liu Zhi didn't care what he deliberately pretended, and asked bluntly: "What does King Zhending think of Wang Lang?" ”
Wang Lang has already been proclaimed emperor, and Liu Zhi still calls him by his name, which is simply a big rebellion. "This ......" Liu Yang just hesitated, Liu Zhi continued: "Wang Lang's demonic words confuse the public, and after claiming to be the emperor, it is simply a joke! How can a mere warlock deceive the world with fallacies? How can you inherit the great cause of your ancestors? Today, Da Sima Fu Hebei, although Wang Lang made a stumbling block, but people of insight in Jizhou have returned to Shun, and there are more Youzhou counties, openly and secretly support Da Sima. Without Youzhou as a backing, Wang Lang only relies on half of Jizhou, and there are no incompetent people to support him.
Can he really fight against Chang'an and Da Sima? His words can be regarded as entering Liu Yang's heart. The reason why Liu Yang only gave verbal support to Wang Lang and did not give substantial help was that he felt that Wang Lang's foundation was too thin and difficult to last long.
