76. There is no one in sight
In this way, more than half a month passed, Liang Feng, who took over most of the rebels, returned to Yufu County, and asked Yan Zhan, who was sick in bed, to take the initiative to attack instead of defending, Yan Zhan nodded and agreed with the last glimmer of hope, and as a result, less than three days after the main force left the city, Liang Feng half-forced and half-persuaded some non-Yan generals to launch a mutiny, and the main figures of the Yan family among the generals were either killed or captured.
There were still six days left before the one-month period, and when Wu Tao was still gritting his teeth and counting the days with his fingers in Baiquan, Liang Feng killed a horse pistol and easily opened the city gate, and the unprepared Yufu defenders soon collapsed and surrendered one after another, and captured Yan Zhansheng lying on the sickbed and paraded it through the streets, and sent troops to post everywhere to appease the army and the people, and quickly controlled the situation.
When the rebels outside the city were in a dilemma, Liu Qi launched a surprise attack at night, breaking through the rebels' waterway defense line in one fell swoop.
Wu Tao, who was looking forward to cleaning up Liu Qi every day in Baiquan, was taken aback again, and before Wu Tao could wake up from the shock, Liu Qi's request for merit was passed to Jiangzhou, and when Wu Tao's letter was delivered to Chengdu, the officials in Liu Zhang's mansion who were instructed by Liu Zhang and supported Zhao Zhen had already quarreled for several days.
One step can't keep up, step by step can't keep up, Liu Zhang hasn't come up with a reason to come and received an emergency military situation, before Wu Tao led the army into Yufu County, the Yan clan colluded with the Yellow Turban Thief Kou to rob the prison to rescue Yan Zhan and his main henchmen, and was discovered by Liu Qi's department "in time", Yan Zhan was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows in the melee, the Yellow Turban Thief Kou and some of the Yan clan's henchmen escaped from Yufu, and continued to flee eastward through Wu County, Liu Qi led his troops to pursue.
This can scare Liu Zhang enough, and the matter has come to this point, and Liu Zhang is too lazy to worry about the life and death of those Yan clansmen, so it doesn't matter whether the prison robbery is true or not, but the possible consequences of Liu Qi leading the army into the Jingzhou territory are not trivial.
Yufu is still a mess, now is not the time to provoke Liu Biao, Liu Zhang hurriedly ordered several henchmen to rush to recall Liu Qi as quickly as possible, several officials took the opportunity to ask Liu Zhang to order to severely punish Liu Qi who did not obey orders and Zhao Zhen, who was not strict under his rule, but to their surprise Liu Zhang sighed for a long time and waved his hand with a gloomy face, leaving behind the Wenwu who looked at each other and left alone.
Back in the room, Liu Zhang angrily scolded Wu Tao on the spot, Ping Pong broke several cherished objects placed in the room, and the people hid far away and whispered about who provoked the always kind owner to be so angry.
What can make Liu Zhang so angry is naturally Liu Qi, who has infinite scenery in Guling, and Zhao Zhen, who is strategizing in Jiangzhou.
Zhao Zhen's attempt to help Zhao Wei get rid of the Yan family and let Zhao Wei monopolize power is considered to have stabbed Liu Zhang's most sensitive place in his heart, which is worth it, do they still have their own Yizhou pastor in their eyes?
Fortunately, Zhao Wei acted secretly, leaked the news and fell into the hands of Yan Zhan, which was exactly what Liu Zhang wanted, Yan Zhan's rebellion made Liu Zhang see an excellent opportunity to get rid of Zhao Zhen and Linjiang Li's two henchmen.
Zhao Zhen and the Li family support each other, firmly grasp the military and political power of Yongning County, completely one is the only one, Liu Zhang is afraid that this will have a very bad impact on other counties, if the whole Yizhou learns from Zhao Zhen and the Li family, then he, the Yizhou pastor, is not alone? This time, Zhao Zhen's transgression must be inseparable from the Li family, it is clear that they have the ambition to expand outward, which makes Liu Zhang's sleep difficult, and Zhao Zhen's move has seriously threatened his position in Liu Zhang's opinion.
Liu Zhang knew that Yan Zhan didn't really want to rebel, and it was easy to persuade Yan Zhan, believing that Yan Zhan would be happy to bite Zhao Zhen back, and then take the opportunity to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the surrounding counties of Yongning to put pressure on Zhao Zhen, now that the Li family and Zhao Zhen are no longer monolithic, Li Mao may not dare to risk the world's disapproval to protect Zhao Zhen, and if he takes Zhao Zhen, he can take the opportunity to forcibly invade the Li family's forces, slowly regain control of Yongning, and then eat the Li family one bite at a time.
If the Li clan dares to contend with the entire Yizhou with the strength of one county, let Yan Zhan be the vanguard, and when both sides are defeated, the army will enter on all sides, and the Li clan will be invincible, no matter which way, it can deter other counties to consolidate Liu Zhang's authority.
It's a pity that such a rare opportunity was ruined by a weak-crowned young man, Liu Zhang remembered that Liu Qilai was angry again, and there was nothing left to fall around, so he had to kick a beautiful varnish nanmu away.
This young man named Liu Qi was so good, not to mention that he relieved the siege of Qu Ren with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, and it only took a few days to break through Yan Zhan's heavy army.
Hey, why can't such talents be used for their own purposes?!
Liu Zhang couldn't understand why Liu Qi was not the son of the Li family, why did he refuse the high-ranking official Houlu to die for the Li family?
After calming down, Liu Zhang knew that it was useless to complain about Wu Tao, Zhao Zhen and his people did have the ability to let his subordinates repay him with death, and he had never bought Zhao Zhen's core subordinates for many years, none of them, Liu Zhang had to accept this fact.
The key now is that Yan Zhan is finished, in what name will he mobilize the troops of various counties to Linjiang Prefecture?
The great achievement of counterinsurgency is not rewarded but must be punished, and the notoriety of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge can not be afforded, otherwise not only will we have to face the verbal criticism of the world, but also the civil and military generals of the counties who do not know the truth @ are in danger, such as today, it is not peaceful, and then there are Yi people or yellow turban thieves who will do their best to requisit?
Liu Zhang really wanted to desperately order to forcibly take down Zhao Zhen, but this thought only flashed in his mind and disappeared, Yan Zhan's 30,000 horses fell apart in front of Liu Qi after three days, Zhao Zhen has such a good general to assist how willing to sit back and wait to die, and he himself is also a civil and military commander of the army, how many soldiers and horses do you need to forcibly take down Yongning?
Is 100,000 enough?
Even if it is enough, it will take a year to gather the power of Yizhou to gather 100,000 people, and it will take more time to train, and it will take another 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the grain and grass consumed alone will be enough to drag him down, and the soldiers and horses will have already lost before they reach the edge of Yongning............
Liu Zhang, who was helpless, sighed and sat down on the couch weakly.
A subordinate swallowed his saliva vigorously and stood at the door cautiously, and reported softly: "Lord Qiqi, Huang Shi, the son of Huang Beijia, is asking to see him outside the mansion." ”
"Hurry, hurry, please! Oh no, I'm going to meet it myself! ”
Liu Zhang took three steps and made two steps to the door of the house, this Huang Shi is his youngest son who is not engaged in Huang Li, Huang Li is very old, he has been recuperating at home recently, and he has not participated in political affairs for a long time.
"Virtuous nephew is exempt from courtesy, Ling Zun can have a good plan to teach me?"
The seventeen-year-old Huang Shi was about to pay a big salute, Liu Zhang held it and asked eagerly, Huang Li and Liu Zhang's personal relationship is also very good, Liu Zhang treats Huang's father as a teacher, and last year he gave a daughter to Huang Shi, just wait for Huang Shi to reach the age of twenty or two is his in-laws, and he doesn't pay much attention to the majesty and etiquette of the head of a state when he speaks in private on weekdays.
However, Huang Shi didn't dare to take it seriously, and replied after a respectful salute: "Qiyu Fujun, my father is seriously ill and can't come to see Fujun in person, I hope Fujun forgives me, my father said that Shu County's subordinate Cao Shi (Taishou's subordinate official, mastermind discussion) Zhang Song Zhang Ziqiao (Zhang Song's table is not recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Yongnian, and the word Ziqiao is from "Huayang Guozhi") has great talents, and can replace his father to assist Fujun. ”
"Nothing more?"
Huang Shi shook his head, there is no need to say any empty words about the relationship between the two families, Huang Li is old and has not been well for several months this time, and he knows that he is afraid that the real limit is approaching, so he bluntly said about the replacement.
"Virtuous nephew, please go back, tell Lingzun that I will visit in the evening!"
At the critical moment, he lost his pillar again, Liu Zhang's expression was gloomy, but there was still a hope, Huang Li mentioned this Zhang Song Liu Zhang is very familiar, he is thirty-two years old, he is outstanding and resourceful, and he personally recommended Cao Shi, who served as the Taishou of Shu County.
Zhang Song's only drawback is that his appearance is really ugly, and in the officialdom that attaches great importance to his appearance, this shortcoming is the biggest obstacle to the talented Zhang Song, and Liu Zhang is not exempt from vulgarity, although he loves his talent, but it is really difficult to stay by his side because of his respect.
But at this critical juncture when the eyebrows were burning, Liu Zhang couldn't do so much, so he ordered someone to go to Zhang Song immediately, and sent Huang Shi back with a few words of relief, and then returned to the mansion and waited anxiously for Zhang Song to come to see him.
Liu Zhang, who was obviously blessed, had not exercised like this for a long time, and two quarters of an hour later Zhang Song arrived, and Liu Zhang ran to the gate of the mansion again with his stomach in person to greet him, and the crown belt that only ran was sweating profusely.
Zhang Song was helped off the horse by his subordinates, held the jade crown that was tied with his hair upside down, tied the ribbon under his chin, dusted off the dust on the dark red brocade robe with gold wires on the luxurious side, and bowed down in front of Liu Zhang.
"Zhang Song is not talented, how dare he deign to go out of the mansion to greet him."
Liu Zhang hurriedly helped Zhang Song up: "Lone (Lone is not only the self-proclaimed emperor, but also the feudal officials of one side can also call themselves Lonely) has important matters hanging in his heart for a long time, and the person who solves the troubles of Lonely is none other than Jun, who has not been far away to meet is already lazy, Ziqiao does not need to be polite, come and come, and talk in detail in the house." ”
Invited Zhang Song into the house, after sitting down, Liu Zhang told Zhang Song in detail about the changes in Guling, Zhang Song asked some details from time to time and then contemplated and stopped talking, Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Song's expression with anticipation, and every slight change made Liu Zhang nervous.
Zhang Song suddenly stared at Liu Zhang, and a hint of fierceness suddenly flashed in his pair of small eyes: "Song has a plan to get rid of the trouble in the heart of the prince forever in January!" ”
Liu Zhang swallowed nervously and said, "I want to hear it!" ”
"Fu Jun can immediately gather soldiers and horses to march to Jiangzhou, and at the same time urgently order the two counties of Jiangyang, Brazil to mobilize soldiers, horses, grain and grass to respond to the army, take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Zhen's elite to go straight to Jiangzhou, and order Wu Tao to lead the army to immediately encircle and annihilate the three thousand Liu Qi troops outside the city, and then block the Yangtze River waterway, and lock Liu Qi outside Yizhou, Zhao Zhen lost his strong hands and there are few elite soldiers and strong generals, only to be captured, if the Linjiang Li family dares to openly resist, they will be defeated together, if they don't dare, they will be slowly dismembered in the future, and the prince of the palace no longer needs to worry about its untamable situation, hahaha......!"
