In order to solve the problem of Liangzhou and take off the black cauldron on his body, Liu Zhang also began to use the public opinion machine with all his might, and frantically attacked Ma Teng, Han Sui and other Xiliang warlords in the Dahan New Daily. In the past, only Cao Dada had this honor.

In addition to criticizing public opinion in the newspapers, Liu Zhang also organized people to carry out gossip or rumors among the people and among the common people, which Comrade Liu Zhang had previously disdained to do, and attacked them with gossip.

In order to wash himself white, in order to remove the black pot on his body, Comrade Liu Zhang also did everything he could. When all the means at your disposal are used, you will be able to use force.

However, the situation in Liangzhou continues to deteriorate.

First, it is because winter is coming, and people's livelihood is more difficult.

Second, because of Pang Long's evil consequences of exchanging skin for food, they began to surface.

Because of those bandits, horse thieves, warlords, etc. in Liangzhou, they don't care what kind of Hu you are, where you are, he will rob cattle, horses and sheep. As a result, the Hu people such as Qiang Di in the south of Liangzhou also suffered, and they were not lightly harmed by Liu Zhang's new policy. So Qiang Di and other Hu people also joined forces to put pressure on Liangzhou. Originally, they were close to Ma Teng Han Sui and them, but now they are completely on the opposite side of Liu Zhang, and they completely follow Ma Teng Han Sui one way.

As for the Xiongnu in the north, not to mention.

Speaking of the Xiongnu in the north, we have to talk about the third major crisis.

The Xiongnu in the north were even worse by Liu Zhang's new policy, especially the Xiliang Legion of Li Dao Guo Yan and others, that guy swept away, like a rake and grass, like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, wherever the Xiliang Legion passed. That's called a clean. Where else do you see cows, horses and sheep? It was difficult to see a few wolves, because there were no sheep left to steal from them, so they had to forage elsewhere. The average small and medium-sized Xiongnu tribe, when encountering a sweep of this scale by the Xiliang Legion, can only obediently hand over cattle, horses and sheep. It is not so easy for large tribes to immediately gather tens of thousands of cavalry and fight against them. What's more, I can't beat it, so I can only dodge it from afar.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

After the collapse of the Xiliang Legion, the backlash of the Huns came immediately.

Those Huns who had lost their cattle, horses and sheep began to enter Liangzhou in droves and loot.

It's still a small share.

The latest news is that hundreds of thousands of Huns have already moved south.

Under the leadership of Hu Chuquan, the king of the left sage, and Liu Bao, the king of the right, they wanted to crusade against Liu Zhang and capture Pang Long alive. Liu Zhang was asked to hand over Pang Long and hand over the edict of Shan Yu. They began a massive crusade against Liu Zhang.

If the Xiongnu entered Liangzhou, it would be an absolutely disastrous situation. It is definitely much more devastating than the Xiliang Legion entering the grassland.

After Liu Zhang learned the news, he couldn't care about the grievances with Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cao Ang Zhongxuan. Immediately sent a letter to Ma Teng Han Sui, asking them to ensure the tranquility of Yongliang, and asking the two to move and defend in the direction of Wuwei; At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhong Xuancao Ang, asking them to at least ensure that the land of Sanfu was not disturbed by the Xiongnu.

And Liu Zhang himself once again had to put the issue of sending troops to Liangzhou to the table for consideration.

On the one hand, Liu Zhang urgently ordered the Yanyan Department of Bajun to urgently transfer 5,000 new troops to Hanzhong, and most of Hanzhong began to move towards Chencang, preparing to enter Tianshui from Chencang and wait for an opportunity to go north.

"Lord, wouldn't this be too risky, this is almost all the power of Yizhou, we only have a total of more than 25,000 new troops, and we will invest more than 15,000 in Hanzhong at once, and Naba County and Chengdu are seriously understaffed. Moreover, our army is all infantry, haven't you always opposed entering Liangzhou? Zhang Ren was worried.

"There's no way, the ducks are on the shelves, and they're being driven away. You think I'm willing. The Huns are coming for us, if we don't go out, the Huns won't go easily, if the Huns don't go, the entire Yongliang, and even Sanfu, will suffer. It's all this Pang Long's. Take the edict of others to do more, and eat enough to support it. Liu Zhang was angry when he talked about Pang Long, look at this mess.

"There's a proposal, I don't know if it's going to be?" Fa Zheng Dao.

"Say it, say it, it's all burning eyebrows, what else should it be, just say it."

"My lord, we can first clearly call on all parties in the Dahan New Newspaper to rise up and defend against the Xiongnu to the south. Moreover, it can also be announced to the world in a bright and open manner that my Shu Zhong will send troops to Liangzhou to meet the Huns. Tell the world the news that we are going to send troops, and tell the people of Liangzhou. If at this time, Ma Teng Han Sui or Zhong Xuan Cao Ang take the opportunity to sneak attack us and others, they will also have some psychological scruples, and they will also be afraid that the people will point out and talk about them. In this case, it is likely that they will do something against us. ”

Liu Zhang thought about it for a while, the idea is really good, and he will take advantage of the righteousness first.

"Okay, good idea, just do it."

"Also, I think the focus of the Huns should not be on revenge or anything, but on the edict. We can make a fuss about this. I heard that there are the left sage king Hu Chuquan, and the right sage king Liu Bao. The former is the younger brother of Yufro, and the latter is the son of Yuvro. Anyway, everyone said that the edict was in the hands of Pang Long, and Pang Long was from my Yizhou, so we made a big fuss about the content of the edict to provoke the division and disintegration of the Huns. ”

Fa Zheng means that since everyone says that the edict is in our hands, then the content of the edict is not up to us.

"Well, that's a very good idea. Filial piety, you tell me in detail. ”

"Actually, the Huns are not very different from our habits, we are generally the successors of our sons. The Xiongnu are different, their single succession, the first in line is King Zuoxian, and it is usually not the succession of the sons, usually the elder brother and the younger brother. This is very different from us Han people. Now, the purpose of the left and right Xianwang is to come for the throne of Xiongnu Shan Yu. We're making a fuss about this. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Let's say that Yu Fuluo's next appointment is Liu Bao, so Hu Chuquan must be angry, Liu Bao must be happy, maybe the two will fight first. Liu Zhang was very happy, and felt that Fa Zheng's idea was better than the previous one, and finally reflected the side of a strategist.

"In fact, we can also send a letter to the left and right kings at the same time, or send an envoy to tell them that whoever is willing to cooperate with us, we will say who is the next Shan Yu." Fa Zheng proposed again.

"In this way, we first stated in the newspaper that our army would enter Liangzhou and fight against the Huns; At the same time, we sent envoys to the Xiongnu and left and right kings, and told them that since they had already attached themselves to the imperial court, they could not mess around, and they had to come according to the regulations, and whoever cooperated with us would recognize who was the next Da Dan Yu; If the two guys don't cooperate, then we will directly disclose in the Dahan New News that Liu Bao is the next Shan Yu of the Southern Huns, let the two guys go dog eat dog first. Liu Zhang concluded. (To be continued.) )
