The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 362 Against Zhang Ren
Generally speaking, without the support of the top leaders, the foreign faction cannot compete with the local faction, because their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they are their people from top to bottom.

Although Yizhou is a big state, but the land is so big, there are so many aristocratic families in Yizhou, this piece of cake is not even enough for Yizhou local faction, how can you be willing to give it up to outsiders?

Moreover, Liu Yan reused people from the Dongzhou faction to suppress the local faction for so many years, and even found an excuse to kill Wang Xian, Li Quan and more than a dozen Yizhou tycoons.After Liu Yan's death, why did the Brazilian Zhao Wei make Liu Zhang, who was not the eldest son, the lord of Yizhou?It's not that he hopes to take advantage of Liu Zhang's weakness and incompetence to regain power!
Although Liu Zhang's weakness also caused the two factions to fight endlessly, it is somewhat stronger than Liu Yan's period. At least the military power is basically in the hands of the local faction.

After finally taking back the power, how could he be willing to let outsiders take it back again.

Therefore, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren and others were very disgusted that Liu Zhang asked Zhang Wu for help, because they were afraid that after Zhang Wu was recruited, it would be easier to ask the gods than to send them away.

Zhang Wu is not a soft guy like Liu Zhang, he is a self-made overlord who occupies the entire Jiangnan.

If Zhang Wu is allowed to take control of Yizhou, these local factions will definitely be suppressed, because any boss with a little brain will suppress the development of local forces if he wants to consolidate his rule.

For example, in the original book, after Liu Bei entered Shu, he used the elder faction plus the Jingzhou faction plus the Dongzhou faction to suppress the native faction together.

Liu Zhang is a person without much ambition, and has been living a life of being rich and peaceful.In this troubled world, his philosophy of life is, if I don't hit you, don't you hit me either, we live our own lives.

But Liu Zhang's willingness to live such a life does not mean that all his subordinates are willing to live such a life, especially the outsiders who are becoming less and less popular, and of course Zhang Song, a man with lofty ideals, he really does not want to see Going to Yizhou to perish in such internal friction.

Now that the capitulators headed by Zhang Song watched with cold eyes, Liu Zhang adopted Huang Quan's opinion and decided to send Zhang Ren as the chief general and lead his troops to garrison Luo County to resist Zhang Wu's attack.

Liu Zhang ordered Zhang Ren to be the chief general, and Wu Lan and Lei Tong to be the deputy generals. He led [-] troops to set off immediately and stationed troops in Luo County.At the same time, they sent an order to Yan Yan to cut off Zhang Wu's retreat and block the Jingzhou army in Yizhou.

After Zhang Ren arrived in Luoxian County, he immediately built fortifications. He guarded Luoxian County by himself, and ordered Wu Lan and Lei Tong to set up two villages in front of Luoxian County.

To say that Zhang Ren did have some skills, not only his martial arts were superb, his strength stable and first-rate, but he was also quite cunning.

After Zhang Wu seized Fushui Pass, he took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Fucheng, and then met Zhang Ren.

When Zhang Ren saw the soldiers from Jingzhou arrive, he didn't go out to fight. He just guarded against death, because he knew Zhang Wu's strength, and even Ma Chao was no match for Zhang Wu.

Anyway, as long as I keep here, you won't be able to make it through. When you run out of food, see what else you can do, either admit defeat and surrender, or enter Hanzhong from Jiameng, and go desperately with Zhang Lu.

"Zhang Ren still has brains. He knows that he can't beat us, so he can't defend." Zhang Wu said with a smile to Xu Shu, Zhang Fei and others who were following him after inspecting the terrain.

Zhang Ren's defensive formation is very unfavorable to the Jingzhou army. If Luo County is attacked, the villages on both sides will pinch the Jingzhou army from left to right.If Zhang Wu attacks the military strongholds on both sides, Zhang Ren in Luo County can also provide timely support.

Moreover, the military strongholds on the left and right were set up in dangerous places, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Zhang Wu could not exert his strength advantage.

Xu Shu also laughed and said: "Although Zhang Ren has been in the civil service for a long time, he is also a man of both civil and military skills, and knows military affairs quite well. Luo County is located in a fortress, and the military camps on both sides are also in dangerous places. It is difficult to win within a short period of time. If we think about it in the long run, our army is short of food and grass, and Zhang Ren is planning to surrender without fighting!"

Zhang Wu said: "Zhang Ren must not be underestimated. He is Zilong's brother. Although his martial arts is a little worse than Zilong's, he can at least be tied with Zilong within [-] rounds. If we don't win Jiang State, we have ensured the safety of the back road, I am afraid that it will not be easy to break through this place within a year and a half, and our situation will be in danger by then."

Xu Shu said: "Yes, but Zhang Ren never imagined that there is a large army attacking Chengdu at this moment. Now there are not many defenders in Chengdu. Once the Xingba army arrives, I am afraid that Liu Zhang will be scared and at a loss. gone."

Afterwards, Zhang Wu led his army to stay in Fucheng, and only sent troops to pretend to attack Luo County every day, which made Zhang Ren puzzled.

What kind of tricks is this Wu playing?Isn't he in a hurry?

Since Zhang Wu is not in a hurry, Zhang Ren is even less in a hurry. Anyway, I have no shortage of food or drink, and I am not in a hurry to go home. If you are patient, let's spend it like this.

I don't believe it anymore, I just stay in the city and don't go out, no matter how capable you are, how many tricks can you do to me?If you want to pass, you can, take your life to waste!

Zhang Ren felt that Zhang Wu didn't dare to use soldiers to consume him, because although Zhang Wu had a lot of soldiers at the moment, most of them were Yizhou soldiers who had surrendered, and the morale of the army was not stable.Zhang Wu needed to rely on [-] Jingzhou troops to suppress [-] Yizhou soldiers. If many of his Jingzhou soldiers died, he might not be able to suppress the [-] Yizhou soldiers.

And if Zhang Wu intends to spend [-] Yizhou soldiers, there will be a mutiny soon.

Therefore, Zhang Ren thought about it and did not understand Zhang Wu's actions.It is said that Zhang Wu, who can have such power from scratch, shouldn't be an impulsive and brainless person. How could he turn his face regardless of the consequences?

Does he have anything to rely on?Could it be that Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu are colluding again?

No matter how Zhang Ren thought about it, he couldn't think that Jiangzhou had already been taken by Zhang Wu. In his opinion, Yan Yan was guarding Berkshire, controlling the throat of the Yangtze River into Shu, so how could something happen?

But at this moment, Gan Ning led an army of [-] to go up against the current, had crossed the vast mountains, and was about to land.

"Hurry up, everyone hurry up! Within an hour, all landing personnel must disembark, otherwise the military law will be enforced!" Gan Ning shouted loudly, this time the surprise attack on Chengdu, in addition to relying on Zhang Song, Meng Da and others in the city , It is also necessary to take surprise and buy time, otherwise reinforcements from various counties in Yizhou may come to support, causing many variables.

The first to land was the [-] forward troops led by Huang Zhong. After they went ashore and assembled, they will march rapidly under the leadership of Huang Zhong, marching into Chengdu from east to west, clearing all checkpoints along the way, and opening the way for the follow-up army.

Gan Ning ordered Lu Xun to lead [-] soldiers to cut off the connection between Chengdu and Luo County, so that the soldiers from Luo County could not return to help. He also left Jiang Qin and [-] soldiers to stay on the riverside and guard the ships.

Gan Ning and Zhu Huan then led the rest of the army to Chengdu.
