Chapter 358
Jiangzhou is the throat fortress for Yizhou to control the Yangtze River, and the thousands of sailors in Yizhou are all concentrated in Jiangzhou.After winning Jiangzhou and surrendering the [-] defenders stationed in Jiangzhou, it can be said that the Jingzhou navy has completely controlled the Yangtze River, from the upper reaches to the lower reaches.

Now, Gan Ning can lead the main force of the Jingzhou navy to go up the Yangtze River, turn north at Jiangyang, and drive the boat along the Tuojiang River to the outside of Chengdu.

It doesn't matter if they are spotted by defenders from other places in Yizhou on the way, because Yizhou has many mountains and difficult to navigate, and even if those soldiers want to report to Chengdu, they can't walk as fast as Jingzhou navy on the water.

As long as the Jingzhou army suddenly appeared outside the city of Chengdu and encircled Chengdu, Liu Zhang would definitely faint due to his peeing behavior, and with Zhang Song, Fazheng, and Meng Da as internal support, it would be easy to take Chengdu.

The troops were very fast. After Gan Ning and Huang Zhong joined together, Li Yan was temporarily appointed as the governor of Bajun to garrison Jiangzhou. Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Lu Xun, Jiang Qin, Zhu Huan and others quickly set off with an army of [-].

It turned out that half of the [-] garrison troops in Jiangzhou were taken away by Gan Ning, and another [-] Jingzhou soldiers were left behind. This would ensure that Li Yan had absolute control over the army and Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is now the back route for all the Jingzhou troops entering Sichuan, and safety must be ensured, because no matter how well-planned, there may be some changes.

In case Chengdu cannot be taken quickly by then, the Jingzhou army will be in a much more difficult situation, but as long as Jiangzhou is in their hands, they can ensure a safe exit.

At the same time, in Zhang Wu's barracks outside Jiameng Pass, Zhang Wu was furious.

"It's unreasonable! As a general of the great Han chariot and cavalry, I have traveled thousands of miles to defend Liu Zhang against the enemy's invasion, just because he is a clan member of the Han family. Now I, the generals of the Jingzhou army, have just fought back the Hanzhong army with bloody battles. Liu Zhang actually wanted to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and not only sent thousands of old and weak soldiers, but also transferred the elite troops back. Do you want my Jingzhou army to bleed and die for him in vain? Xu Taishou, do you Yizhou people think I am easy to bully?" Zhang Wu looked at Xu Jing coldly and said.

Xu Jing was so frightened that he trembled all over. He didn't expect that Zhang Wu would turn his back when he said that he would turn his back. The person in front of him was not an incompetent second-generation ancestor like Liu Zhang, but the second-largest prince in the world who conquered the entire Jiangnan with nothing. He was destroyed.

"General Cheqi, please calm down. My lord does not mean this. It is true that there is a rebellion in Nanzhong, which threatens the safety of Chengdu. My lord has no choice but to send General Liu to lead the army back to put down the rebellion. As for the food and grass, please rest assured, General Cheqi, and return later." After Chengdu, I will definitely persuade the lord to make it up immediately!" Xu Jing said.

Zhang Wu knew that Xu Jing was just making excuses, and he had long expected this situation to turn his face, so how could he let this matter go.

So Zhang Wu shouted loudly: "Bold, you still want to lie to me! Someone, take these people down, and those who dare to resist will be killed!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yan, Xing Daorong, Sha Moke and others immediately led their personal guards in and surrounded Xu Jing, Liu Gui, Xiang Cun and the Fujin group.

Although Xu Jing was a famous scholar, he was only a literati. When he saw this situation, he was immediately at a loss for what to do. However, Liu Gui and others knew Zhang Wu's strength, so they didn't dare to resist. They just kept saying: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! !"

What Zhang Wu wanted was this misunderstanding. In this case, it was Liu Zhang who was unkind in the first place, and Zhang Wu could not be blamed for being unjust.

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, I don't think so. Liu Zhang sent Huang Quan to ask me to send troops to help him retreat from the enemy. Now that I am leading an army, he does not send reinforcements or food. Is this trying to put me to death? I helped him with good intentions, but he wanted to kill him." I, whether I can bear it or not, I will go to Chengdu and ask him why he wants to kill me! Are you willing to surrender, and those who surrender will not die!"

Liu Huang and others were dumbfounded when they heard that they suddenly changed from friendly forces to enemies?
Are you now a prisoner?
Oh my god, this group of people in Chengdu have made a fool of me!

In fact, Huang Quan and others never expected that Zhang Wu would dare to turn his face directly. The original limit on the number of troops Zhang Wu brought into Sichuan was to prevent this.Moreover, Huang Quan and others felt that the Jiangzhou garrison was firmly in control of Zhang Wu's retreat, so how dare he turn his face?
Isn't he afraid that the way back will be cut off, the food and grass will not be enough, and he will starve to death in the middle of Shu?
That's why Huang Quan and the Yizhou natives dared to encourage Liu Zhang to fool Zhang Wu, and even asked Zhang Wu to return to Jingzhou, because they thought they could hold Zhang Wu and were not afraid of Zhang Wu's upsetting.

But how could they have imagined that Zhang Wu had started planning two years ago, and Jiangzhou, which Huang Quan and others depended on, had already been targeted by Zhang Wu and Zhang Song.

"General Zhang, please calm down. If you have something to say, don't use swords and guns!" Liu Gui said quickly. The situation is not good at the moment, so he hastened to say a few good words. As long as he can leave here and return to the army, he will have a chance to get rid of Zhang Wu. control.

Zhang Wu still has the mood to talk to them, since he has turned his back on him, he has to deal with the matter here quickly, and then he has to quickly march to Chengdu. It is estimated that Gan Ning and the others have already succeeded, and he needs to rush to Chengdu as soon as possible.

"Let's talk nonsense, it's up to you whether you want to live or die. I don't have time to waste here. Since Liu Zhang doesn't want to give me food, I have no choice but to go to Chengdu to get it myself."

No one wants to die if they can live, but in this case, if they want to live, they have to betray their master and turn to others.Some people will surrender without hesitation in order to survive, while some people need to think about it and weigh the pros and cons, and some people would rather die than betray their boss.

Xu Jing, Xiang Cun, and Fu Jin were still hesitating, but Liu Quan suddenly yelled: "Zhang Wu, the dog thief, I have long seen that you have evil intentions! The Hanzhong army has retreated, but you still don't withdraw your troops and insist on leading the army to pursue them. But you took the opportunity to ask me, Yizhou, to send troops and food. I think you have already planned it. If you have the ability, kill me. Don’t forget, your future is still in our hands. I think you still want to get out of Yizhou. state!"

As soon as Liu Gui said this, Xu Jing and the others were suddenly enlightened, yes, this place is within the Daba Mountains in Yizhou, with Hanzhong County in front, and Jiameng Pass and the mainland of Yizhou in the back.If Zhang Wu dared to kill them, then his lord would definitely order Yan Yan of Jiangzhou to cut off their retreat, and then stop their food and grass. Wouldn't they all starve to death here?

But Zhang Wu laughed loudly and said: "Hahahaha... Liu Gui, it seems that you don't intend to surrender. Well, come, someone, pull this person down and behead him, Wen Chang, immediately assemble the army and return to Jiameng Pass. Then march into Chengdu."

"Yes!" Wei Yan led someone to drag Liu Gui out and hacked him to death, then hung his head on the gate for public display.

If you know too much, you won't live long!This Liu Gui was quite loyal to Liu Zhang, so he definitely didn't want to surrender, so he just used his head as a warning to others, and Liu Gui didn't have much ability, he was reused purely because he was of the same clan as Liu Zhang.If it was a capable general like Zhang Ren, Zhang Wu might keep him alive, and try to persuade him to surrender after obtaining Yizhou.
