The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 351 Entering Jiameng Pass

Outside Jiameng Pass, the Hanzhong army launched another attack. Under the command of Ma Chao, Hanzhong soldiers set up catapults and pushed out catapults. Archers lined up and shot arrows.

The army has been besieging the city for more than ten days, and many soldiers were killed or injured on both sides.

The morale of the Hanzhong army was high, and there was Ma Chao, a fierce general, and Ma Chao also promised that as long as Jiameng Pass was captured and they invaded Shu, they would be able to plunder as much as they wanted, so they fought very vigorously.

The morale of the Yizhou soldiers in Jiameng Pass was not high. Fortunately, although Liu Hui was not very courageous, he was somewhat capable of commanding the troops. There were also two generals in the pass, Fujin and Xiangcun, and there were many soldiers, so he insisted on resisting Hanzhong. army attack.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Wu led an army of [-] to go upstream by boat and came to Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is the prefecture of Berkshire, and the prefect of Berkshire is the veteran Yan Yan, who should be about the same age as Huang Zhong. He also wields a big sword and is good at drawing a hard bow. It is worse than Huang Zhong.

Yan Yan is a local general in the middle of Shu, and he has served as a general in the middle of his life. Naturally, Zhang Wu's army is not welcome, but Liu Zhang's order, Yan Yan had to let the Yizhou navy let go, but still let the soldiers be careful, Guard Jiangzhou City.

As long as Jiangzhou is in Yan Yan's hands, there is no fear of Zhang Wu's tricks, because the retreat of Zhang Wu's army is in Yan Yan's hands.As long as Yan Yan leads his troops to cut off Zhang Wu's retreat, the Jingzhou army will not be able to transport supplies, and will starve to death soon.

However, Yan Yan didn't expect that Li Yan, the general who was sent to assist him two years ago, was actually an undercover agent, waiting for Zhang Wu's arrival.

Li Yan was from Nanyang, and once served as a minor official under Liu Biao. Because he was not from a wealthy family, he was not valued.Later, when Zhang Wu seized power, Li Yan thought that Zhang Wu was a warrior and would not govern a big state, and the aristocratic families in Jingzhou would definitely not be willing to let Zhang Wu control Jingzhou, and civil strife would definitely occur.

Therefore, in order to avoid disaster, Li Yan left Jingzhou and came to Yizhou. Liu Zhang appointed Li Yan as the county magistrate of a county near Chengdu.

Later, Li Yan discovered that Zhang Wu was so fierce. Not only did he obey the rule of the major families in Jingzhou, he also defeated Cao Cao many times, repelled Sun Quan, and stood firmly in Jingzhou.Later Zhang Wu invented engraving and white paper, printed books to spread knowledge to the world, and uttered the words of a sage such as "Four Sentences of Lumen". Li Yan knew that he had misjudged him.

If he hadn't left at the beginning, with Zhang Wu's way of using people from poor families, he would be better than he is now, and he would lead the army to conquer the world and make contributions.

In this troubled world, leading the army to fight is the fastest promotion and the most meritorious thing. Just because you have no relationship and no background, no matter how talented you are, being a county magistrate will basically come to an end.

It's a pity that I can no longer escape Yizhou and go to Zhang Wu. At this time, Li Yan still needs to show some face.

By chance, Li Yan's best friend Meng Da brought an opportunity to Li Yan.

Li Yan had a very close relationship with Meng Da in Yizhou, and both Meng Da and Fazheng were Zhang Song's confidantes, so the four formed a gang of four and began to prepare to sell Liu Zhang to Zhang Wu.

Since Li Yan was sent to Jiangzhou to assist Yan Yan by Zhang Song, on the one hand, Zhang Song, the second-in-command in Yizhou, took care of him, and on the other hand, Li Yan was indeed talented, so he had a high status in Jiangzhou's army. Second to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan also admired Li Yan, who is both civil and military, and even thought about retiring in a few years, so she recommended Li Yan to take her place.

But Li Yan didn't want to wait any longer. Even if he could be a prefect, he didn't want to be a prefect in a remote place. He wanted to lead the army to fight, and rely on his own ability to make meritorious service.

Zhang Wu left two thousand sailors in Jiangzhou on the grounds of transshipment of grain and grass, led by Huang Zhong and Lu Xun. In fact, it was to seize control of Jiangzhou. If there were too many troops, Yan Yan would be suspicious.

With Lu Xun in charge of the implementation of the plan, Zhang Wu was very relieved, and Huang Zhong was enough to deal with Yan Yan.

Then, Zhang Wu went up the Dianjiang River and went straight to Jiameng Pass. At the same time, he sent someone to Chengdu to send a letter, asking Liu Zhang to send elite reinforcements and food.

Liu Zhang already knew the terms that Huang Quan and Zhang Wu had agreed upon. You don't want them to lead more troops, but you must send some reinforcements to help Zhang Wu fight. As for the food and grass, the Chengdu treasury has enough.

But Zhang Song suggested: "My lord, the former Liu Hui sent troops with [-] elite soldiers. Later, the two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei brought another [-] elite soldiers to guard Fushui Pass. Now there are not many troops in Chengdu." It is still used for defending the city, and it really can’t be transferred anymore.”

"Where will the troops be mobilized?" Liu Zhang asked.

"There are still more than [-] soldiers in Jiameng Pass, which are enough to resist the Hanzhong army. The subordinates think that there is no need to deploy any more troops. It is only necessary for the lord to order General Liu and the soldiers in Jiameng Pass to obey Zhang Wu's dispatch." Zhang Song said.

Huang Quan quickly said: "My lord, you can't. There are [-] elite soldiers in Jiameng Pass. If you order them to obey Zhang Wu's command, if things change, Yizhou will be in danger!"

Zhang Song didn't take it seriously, but clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Huang's words are beautiful! If that's the case, my lord can order Zhang Wu, the chariot general, to obey the orders of the general Liu Hui."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present burst into laughter. This was so funny. They actually asked the generals of chariots and cavalry to obey the orders of the generals. Even if Liu Zhang was the emperor, he couldn't do it!

Although Liu Zhang is a shepherd in Yizhou, this is his civil position. Now Liu Zhang's military position is General Zhenwei appointed by Cao Cao.Liu Zhang himself is a miscellaneous general. Although the generals under his command are powerful, their positions are not high.Liu Zhang was a clan member of the Han family, and he couldn't betray the court to stand on his own, so he didn't dare to promote himself.

Liu Hui is considered to have a higher position under Liu Zhang, but he is far behind Zhang Wu, a chariot general. Besides, Zhang Wu is also a shepherd of Jingzhou and a shepherd of Yangzhou, and his power is greater than that of Liu Zhang. A little guy like Liu Hui?
Huang Quan couldn't speak, even if he was out of his mind, he couldn't plan to make Zhang Wu obey Liu Hui's order, and if he really wanted to spread the word, he wouldn't be laughed out of the world.

"The two companies are united, and there is no subordinate relationship, so it's better to fight on their own!"

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Song laughed again, "Is Mr. Huang really ignorant of the soldiers, or is he pretending not to? The two armies must have a unified command in joint operations. Otherwise, when there are differences of opinion, one should attack and the other should defend. Who do you listen to? During the Warring States Period, Qi, Wei, and Han conquered Qin, and Qizhi Mengchang was still the commander in chief; when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, they still took Yuan Shao as the leader. The two armies united but each fought independently. Master Huang was afraid Don't we lose?"

"Ah! This..." Of course Huang Quan knew this truth, but he was always wary of Zhang Wu in his heart, so he didn't want Zhang Wu to lead the Yizhou army.
