Chapter 778: Release
Huang Quan held his head high and said: "If the lord is worried that he will not be able to hold Chengdu, it is better to take Yizhou civil and military to the south first, and after the Guanzhong army retreats, it is not too late to return." ”
Liu Zhang was stunned and asked, "Where should I retreat?" ”
Huang Quan said: "To the south of Shu County is the subject country of Shu County, the lord leads the people to retreat to the subject country of Shu County, and then condemns the general to defend Shu County, and it will be difficult for the Guanzhong army to do its full work in eagerness." ”
"If it drags on, how can the Guanzhong Army not retreat?"
Or Huang Quan said: "Shu County belongs to the national governance of Hanjia, Hanjia is located in the northeast of Shu County, adjacent to Shu County, surrounded by a horse and a flat river, there is no danger to defend." ”
"If Chen Wenzhao leads the crowd to attack Shu County, how can Han Jia stop the Guanzhong army?"
Huang Quan was furious and shouted: "Before the battle, you colluded with Chen Wenzhao? ”
The man's face was terrified, and he hurriedly said, "I'm just stating the facts, so how can I talk about collusion with Chen Wenzhao?" ”
Huang Quan was about to continue to ask, but he heard Liu Zhang's rather worried voice: "Gongheng should not be angry, this is also the doubt in my heart." ”
Although the subject country of Shu County is still under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, it borders foreign races in the west, and there are lofty mountains and mountains everywhere, and it is difficult for birds to cross.
There are many alien races entrenched in its territory, and the forces are complicated.
The thing that worries Liu Zhang the most is just as the man said, Hanjia is adjacent to Shu County, and there is no danger to defend at all.
Liu Zhang didn't believe that Shu County could resist the wolf-like Guanzhong army, and if Shu County was broken, Han Jia would continue to be exposed to the Guanzhong army.
At that time, if you take people to flee again, everyone will definitely be fluctuating.
Huang Quan's personality is extremely upright, first heard about the surrender of Wu Yi and Zhang Song, and then everyone tried their best to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, and he was already extremely angry in his heart.
This made him lose his normal heart a little, and when he heard Liu Zhang's words, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest.
Huang Quan took a deep breath and said, "Although Hanjia is the capital of Shu County, there is no need for the lord to move the administrative office there. ”
"There is a county yak in the southeast of it, located on the bank of the Moshui River, the north rejects the danger of Qiong (qiong) lai (lai), and the east is connected to the two counties of Yue and Yuewang."
"Even if Shu County is not guaranteed, the lord can send generals to guard the three cities of Hanjia, Xixian, and Yandao, even if he can't stop the army in Guanzhong, he can delay for time."
"The lord will clear the wilderness again, collect the grain and grass in the people's homes and burn them all, and lengthen the supply line of the Guanzhong army, even if he does not rely on the rest of the princes, Chen Wenzhao will not be able to maintain a long battle."
"In this way, in as little as three months, as much as a year, the Guanzhong Army will definitely retreat!"
Liu Zhang's heart was agitated when he heard this, and after all, he was still a little sensible, and asked worriedly: "Although Gongheng's words are reasonable, but with these three cities, can you really stop the Guanzhong Army for a year?" ”
Shu County and Guanghan County were lost one after another, and dangerous passes such as Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion could not stop the Guanzhong army, which had made Liu Zhang lose confidence.
He didn't believe that with these three ordinary county towns, he could block the attack of the Guanzhong army for a year.
Huang Quan said with a smile: "Lord Mingjian, the Guanzhong army is going all the way south, why not capture these three cities?" These are just the cities within the territory of the subject country of Shu County. ”
"There is still Shu County as a barrier to the north of the subject country of Shu County, and the Guanzhong Army wants to go south to the subject country of Shu County, how can it not capture the county towns along the way?"
"Not only Hanjia, Xixian, and Yandao, but the lord can also send soldiers and horses to garrison Chengdu, Jiangyuan, and Linqiong."
"Even if each city can only block the Guanzhong army for ten days, plus the schedule delayed by the march on the way, it will take more than three months for the Guanzhong army to take these cities."
Don't look at the Guanzhong army, it only took more than two months to capture Shu County and Guanghan County, but most of the time it was the first defeat of the Yizhou army, but it was decided.
If the Yizhou army is stubbornly defending the city, Chen Xu will lead the troops to attack the cities one by one, which will definitely take a long time.
But Liu Zhang still asked suspiciously: "Even if you block the Guanzhong Army for three months, will Chen Wenzhao lead the troops to retreat?" ”
Huang Quan was really speechless at this time for Liu Zhang's cuteness, rubbed his brows slightly, and had to continue to explain.
"The six cities along the way can delay the Guanzhong Army for at least three months, but the more precipitous sections are still to come."
After speaking, Huang Quan came to the front of the map and put his finger in a place, on which were written the words 邛 (qiong) 崃 (lai) mountain.
Huang Quan's eyes flashed, and then he slowly moved his fingers to the west, and said: "This place is the nine-fold slope of Qionglai, and the mountains and rivers are extremely steep. ”
"In the past, Wang Yang, the assassin of Yizhou, escorted his mother's Lingshu to pass by here, because he was afraid that there would be an accident due to the steep terrain, so he actually resigned due to illness."
"Later, Wang Zun walked here, and all his subordinates did not dare to move forward, but shouted loudly: 'Go ahead, Wang Yang is a filial son, and Wang Zun is a loyal minister'."
"Zun has spent two years as an official here, and he has come to the outside, and the barbarians have attached themselves to his prestige."
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed in unison.
Even if not everyone knows the deeds of these two people, but through Huang Quan's words, they all feel the steepness of the Qionglai Nine Folds Slope.
Although this place can block the Guanzhong army, if Liu Zhang leads the crowd south, he will definitely pass through the Qionglai Jiuzhi Slope.
In this way, they don't have the courage to go on the nine-fold slope of Qionglai, which can make Yizhou Assassin Wang Yang prohibitive.
These people are in Yizhou, and they have a deep understanding of the steep terrain of Bashu, and if they want to pass through certain places, they will be doomed if they are not careful.
Huang Quan looked at the faces of some people coldly, and continued to say to Liu Zhang: "Let's not mention that the Qionglai Nine-fold Slope is extremely steep, even the Qionglai Mountain that stretches behind it, and the Guanzhong Army can't easily cross it. ”
The Qionglai Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, the roads are nine winding links, the peaks are towering into the clouds, and some mountains are covered with snow for many years because of the high altitude.
As long as the Yizhou army holds the dangerous terrain, no matter how fierce the Guanzhong army is, it will not want to cross the Qionglai Mountain.
The most unconquerable thing in the world is not man-made cities, but the wonders of nature, at least in this era of backward technological power, many places are forbidden to humans.
If used, these places can become a nightmare for the enemy.
Liu Zhang was not frightened by the steepness of the nine-fold slope of Qionglai, and heard that there were still some sections that could block the Guanzhong army, as if a drowning man had grabbed the last life-saving rice, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He stepped forward and held Huang Quan's hands tightly, and said, "With the Qionglai Nine Fold Slope and the Qionglai Mountain, can you really block the Guanzhong Army for a year?" ”
Huang Quan nodded vigorously and said, "Don't say that for a year, as long as the generals in charge of defense are loyal, even if they block the Guanzhong Army for three or five years, it will be easy." ”
Due to the rebellion of Zhang Song and Wu Yi, Huang Quan deliberately increased the word 'loyalty'.
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, tried to calm his agitated emotions, and then said firmly: "Since this is the case, then move the Yizhou Governance Office to the yak first!" ”
No one is willing to give up their family business and surrender to others, even if Liu Zhang seems a little weak, he is still a prince.
If he was not forced to do so, he would not be willing to surrender to Chen Xu.
This time, Liu Zhang became extremely decisive, as long as there were people who opposed the relocation office, he swept them away with thunderous means.
The surrender of Wu Yi and Zhang Song has already made Liu Zhang feel a great crisis.
The whole of Chengdu moved, and Liu Zhang, with his benevolent government in Yizhou, left Chengdu with many people who followed.
It's just that Liu Zhang finally vetoed Huang Quan's suggestion to clear the wilderness and burn the people's grain and houses.
On the one hand, it is because Liu Zhang really cherishes Baixin and can't bear to do this.
On the other hand, it is autumn, and the grain planting is not long in coming, and it is still a long time before the harvest.
Liu Zhang still has some extravagant hopes in his heart, that is, the Guanzhong Army will return to Guanzhong as soon as possible in these few months.
……
said that after Zhang Ren was in a coma for two days, he finally woke up leisurely, and the wound on his head healed well.
When Deng Xian saw Zhang Ren wake up, he was immediately overjoyed and told him what had happened during this time.
When Zhang Ren heard that Zhang Song and Wu Yi had surrendered to the city, he couldn't help but grit his steel teeth and became angry. But he finally sighed and sat on the bed in a daze.
"Although there is a reason for this defeat, I still lost the Sword Pavilion after all, and I have the great hope of the lord."
Zhang Ren, who woke up, except for the angry scolding at the beginning, became calm, and then only saw Yan Yan who came to visit, and actually turned Chen Xu away.
Dian Wei was furious and was about to force his way into the house, but was stopped by Chen Xu.
Since then, Chen Xu not only sent some of Zhang Ren's former personal soldiers back to Zhang Ren, but also visited him every day.
Even though he couldn't get started every time, Chen Xu still enjoyed it.
It wasn't until Zhang Su sent a letter and said that he was willing to sacrifice the entire Guanghan County, that Chen Xu finally forcibly broke into Zhang Ren's house.
"The general's patience is much better than I expected."
For Chen Xu who broke in, Zhang Ren was not surprised at all, nor did he show resentment, but seemed very indifferent.
After looking at Zhang Yi carefully for a while, Chen Xu just stood there quietly and didn't say a word.
Today's Zhang Ren's complexion is much better.
It's just that the initial recovery from a serious illness and not going out for a long time caused the face to be a little pale.
Zhang Ren also looked at Chen Xu with a calm face, very patiently did not speak, and was not as indignant as Deng Xian.
Zhang Ren can see clearly that in the troubled times, the weak eat the strong, and it is reasonable for Chen Xu to attack Yizhou strongly.
Since he is a defeated general, even if he has no intention of surrendering, there is no need to shout loudly to show that he is a loyal minister.
Sometimes, silence is the best way to tell.
Looking at Zhang Ren with sword eyebrows for a long time, Chen Xu suddenly said: "The Sword Pavilion has been broken, and Zhang Su, the Taishou of Guanghan County, surrendered the city. ”
"Now that the general has recovered, it's time to send you back."
Zhang Ren was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "What?" ”
Chen Xu said again: "I want to send you back." ”
After speaking, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
It didn't take long for Dian Man to arrange for Zhang Ren to leave, and allowed Zhang Ren to take some of his own soldiers.
