The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 356 Making excuses
After repelling the Hanzhong soldiers, Xu Jing wanted to return to Chengdu to report the military situation to Liu Zhang, and Zhang Wu also needed Xu Jing to go back to help him make a publicity.

Moreover, Xu Jing's return to Chengdu is a signal, a signal for Zhang Song to launch the next plan.

Later, Zhang Wu convened a military meeting, planning to send troops to pursue the Hanzhong soldiers. In fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to seize the military power of Liu Hui and others.

Now Zhang Wu's prestige is too high, and with Liu Zhang's order, Liu Hui and others dare not object, so they have to obey Zhang Wu's order.

So Zhang Wu ordered Xu Shu and Zhang Fei to lead [-] Jingzhou soldiers and [-] Yizhou soldiers to guard Jiameng Pass. Accompanied by the expedition.

Chasing the Hanzhong soldiers was a cover, Zhang Wu's real purpose was to separate the Yizhou soldiers locked by Jiameng, and find a chance to take them back.

Although the [-] Yizhou soldiers who closed the gate far outnumbered the Jingzhou soldiers left behind, without the Yizhou generals to lead them, they would not make any moves. In addition, Zhang Wu left Zhang Fei to guard Jiameng Pass, and the Yizhou soldiers have all seen it before. With Zhang Fei's bravery, he definitely didn't dare to have any thoughts.

As for the more than 2 Yizhou soldiers who went to the expedition, Zhang Wu was confident that he and the [-] elite soldiers could suppress them.

After Xu Jing returned to Chengdu, he told Liu Zhang in detail how Zhang Wu retreated from the enemy. He was full of praise for the bravery of Zhang Wu and his general Zhang Fei. .

Liu Zhang can be considered relieved now. Ma Chao, who had cut his beard and discarded his robes against Cao Cao, was also defeated. How good was Zhang Wushu?Maybe Lu Bu back then was not as powerful as Zhang Wu!
As soon as Zhang Song saw Xu Jing came back, he knew that the next step was to be planned. He first sent someone to deliver a letter to Li Yan in Jiangzhou, asking Li Yan to unite with Huang Zhong and Lu Xun to seize control of Jiangzhou.

Five days later, Zhang Wu ordered people to go to Chengdu and asked Liu Zhang to send another [-] reinforcements and food to Jiameng Pass. He wanted to lead the troops directly to Hanzhong to completely solve Zhang Lu's hidden danger.

Huang Quan was not in favor of asking Zhang Wu to enter Shu to help them fight against the Hanzhong army, but Liu Zhang insisted on doing so.Later, after Zhang Wu came, Huang Quan had always been wary of Zhang Wu. Now when he heard that Zhang Wu wanted reinforcements and food, he immediately became alert.

When Liu Zhang was about to send reinforcements and provisions, Huang Quan suddenly said, "My lord, please wait a moment, I have something to say."

"If Gongheng has something to say, please speak."

Huang Quan said: "My lord, there were [-] elite soldiers at Jiameng Pass, and the food and grass were enough for half a year. The soldiers, horses, food and grass were enough to guard Jiameng Pass. And when the lord sent me to Jingzhou, I asked the chariot general to assist me. I repelled the Hanzhong army in Yizhou. Now that the Hanzhong army has retreated, Yizhou has turned the corner. You can invite General Zhang to return to Jingzhou. At worst, we will pay him a sum of money. If we give him reinforcements and food, wouldn’t it be a waste of money? Our Yizhou soldiers, horses, food and grass will help him fight the territory?"

When Liu Zhang heard it, it was like this!
You are going to fight Hanzhong, but you have to use my soldiers, horses, food and grass from Yizhou. If you take Hanzhong, who will it be?
Liu Zhang didn't think that Zhang Wu would return Hanzhong County to him very loyally, even half of it was impossible.Although Liu Zhang is incompetent, he is not stupid. He knows that Hanzhong is much more dangerous in the hands of Zhang Wu than in the hands of Zhang Lu.

At this time, Zhang Song suddenly said: "My lord, I heard a rumor about my Yizhou, and I don't know whether it is true or not."

Liu Zhang said, "If you have any rumors, tell Yongnian quickly."

After Zhang Song glanced at Huang Quan, he said: "A caravan under me went to Hanzhong to sell goods a few months ago. It should have come back a long time ago, but because of the outbreak of war, we had to detour through Micang Road. Yesterday They have just returned. When they came back, they brought back news that Zhang Lu had sent someone to contact Zhang Wu, intending to attack Yizhou from the north and the south. You may have heard the rumor?"

"Ah?" Liu Zhang was terrified when he heard the news. If the news was true, then how could he be Zhang Wu's opponent.

"Ah?" Huang Quan was also taken aback. He had never heard of this news, but in line with the principle of preferring to believe it, Huang Quan immediately said: "My lord, this subordinate has never heard of this news." news, but we should be more careful. Now that Zhang Wu repelled the Hanzhong soldiers but did not return, he would take the initiative to attack Hanzhong. Help Jin and Xiangcun to guard Jiameng Pass, and then send Zhang Wuli out of the country."

"This..." Liu Zhang actually didn't want to send reinforcements and food to Zhang Wu, but he didn't quite believe that Zhang Wu would unite with Zhang Lu, because Zhang Wu had just defeated Ma Chao and killed many Hanzhong soldiers, so Liu Zhang asked Xu Jing: "Wen Xiu just came back from Jiameng Pass. From what you've seen, did General Cheqi really fight the Hanzhong army?"

Xu Jing said: "My lord, I saw with my own eyes that General Cheqi led [-] soldiers out of the customs to fight back. Not only did he kill thousands of Hanzhong soldiers, but he also killed Hanzhong general Yang Ang. Later, General Cheqi fought Ma Chao again. He not only defeated Ma Chao on the spot, captured Ma Chao's weapons, but also led the army to attack and killed thousands of Hanzhong soldiers. Therefore, the subordinates felt that General Cheqi did not seem to be allied with Zhang Lu."

Hearing what Xu Jing said, Liu Zhang felt that Huang Quan's opinion was not appropriate.At the beginning, I begged and begged for others to help, but now I have run out of others, but I am eager to dare them to leave. Is this considered crossing the river and tearing down the bridge?Isn't it a bit unfair?

Liu Zhang said: "From this point of view, General Cheqi has no intention of collusion between Zhang and Lu. It seems a bit inappropriate to say something fair?"

Huang Quan said, "My lord, what if that Zhang Wu wants to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Hanzhong and take Yizhou all by himself? With Zhang Wu's strength, my lord has to guard against it! Why don't you send thousands of old and weak troops and transport a few Let Liang Cao deal with it first, but take the opportunity to let Liu Hui lead his elite troops back to prevent any accidents."

Under the bitter persuasion of Huang Quan, Wang Lei and others, and Liu Zhang didn't want Zhang Wu to take Hanzhong, he allocated four thousand old and weak soldiers and ordered Xu Jing to take them with him. At the Jiameng Pass, at the same time, Liu Hui was secretly ordered to lead his elite troops back, so that Xiang Cun and Fujin could guard Jiameng Pass.

At the same time, after Li Yan received the secret letter sent by Zhang Song, he immediately found Huang Zhong and Lu Xun, and began to implement the plan to seize Jiangzhou.

Li Yan didn't hesitate at all, because he was very aware of Zhang Wu's strength. He was the only person in the world who could compete with Cao Cao, and he also had a great chance of being able to dominate the world.

Comparing Liu Zhang and Zhang Wu, it is simply shit. Even if Liu Zhang is not destroyed by Zhang Wu, he will eventually be destroyed by Cao Cao.

Capturing Jiangzhou is the most important part of Zhang Wu's plan to capture Yizhou. If the plan goes well, Li Yan will make great contributions to Zhang Wu's strategy of capturing Yizhou, and his benefits will definitely be indispensable.
