Liu Zhang's face was very serious, and it could be seen that he was very serious.

Jia Xu seemed to understand Liu Zhang's thoughts, and nodded to him first.

"My lord, do you mean to take possession of Liang and Yi, relying on the favorable terrain to fight against the princes of the Kanto?"

"Yes, Wen He's words are very suitable for me!"

Liu Zhang kept nodding to Jia Xu, and admired Jia Xu's eyes very much.

"Sun Tzu said, don't think about victory, think about defeat first! I really didn't think carefully about this point. I thought that relying on the natural danger of Hangu Pass would be enough to sit back and relax! I never thought that it would be like this now."

Xun You also changed his relaxed expression, and slowly became serious, with a little admiration for Liu Zhang in his heart.

"My lord is far-sighted and considerate, and I admire you!"

"Gongda don't need to praise me, I have to worry about these things."

Liu Zhang deeply understands his ability, he can't solve this kind of problem, and needs to rely on wise men like Jia Xu and Xun You.

And it is very important to find the address of Tongguan, Tongguan may be built by him!

"My lord, don't worry. Although I have never heard of Tongguan Pass, there is a cliff at the junction of Tonghe River and Yellow River. Although it is not as dangerous as Hangu Pass in the pre-Qin Dynasty, if we can build a pass there, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Jia Xu's words made Liu Zhang overjoyed immediately, and he knew that this famous pass must have obvious advantages.

"Okay! After we set the tripod in Guanzhong, we will ask Wenhe!"

"My lord, don't worry!"

Liu Zhang no longer had any doubts, and led the team through Hangu Pass to Chang'an.

Guanzhong, Sunny City

Looking at Huangfusong who was being taken into the prison car, Zhang Wen was filled with emotion.

Once upon a time, Huangfusong was also high-spirited, making countless enemies frightened!

"Yizhen, good fortune tricks people! I didn't expect you to end up like this!"

Huangfusong looked at Zhang Wen expressionlessly, he was disheartened by the court's actions.

Although I rashly entered the battle to justify the name of the Three Heroes of the Han Dynasty, even if it was selfish, it was more to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and restore peace to Liangzhou!

Although this time unfortunately fell into the enemy's treacherous tricks, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals, Meiyang City is still in his hands, and the enemy still dare not steal it, so it can be regarded as a crime!

Victory or defeat is standard issue! Who doesn't know this truth?

It's ridiculous that the court not only dismissed himself, but also cut off his title!

Isn't the court not clear about the big taboo of changing generals just before the battle? What's more, it was replaced by Zhang Wen who didn't understand anything!

Facing the high-spirited Zhang Wen, Huangfusong naturally didn't have a good face.

"Master Zhang is joking, he will lose his soldiers and generals, and he is willing to be punished!"

Zhang Wen has a good temper and is not someone who cares easily.

Faced with Huangfusong's sarcastic remarks, he understood very well in his heart.

"Yizhen don't want to say such angry words, Your Majesty understands Yizhen's hard work, and it will definitely be useful when he goes back!"

Huangfusong looked at Zhang Wen and first smiled contemptuously, then turned his head to the sky and smiled.

"hahahahahahahaha!"

"Master Zhang is really good at joking, have you ever seen someone take this back and reuse it?"

Speaking of which, Huangfusong also knocked on the guardrail of the prison car, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"General Huangfu fought against the rebels before. I wonder if he can teach Zhang?"

Seeing that Huangfusong was so disdainful towards him, Zhang Wen no longer put his face on his back, and directly stated his purpose.

This was Zhang Wen's first time leading troops to conquer, and he certainly didn't want it to be the last time, so he had the cheek to ask Huangfusong for advice.

"How can a defeated general teach Master Zhang? Master Zhang, please do it yourself!"

After saying this, Huangfusong closed his eyes and ignored Zhang Wen.

"you!"

"It's okay, anyway, His Majesty also sent the rear general, I'll ask him for advice!"

Zhang Wen was also irritated by Huangfusong's rude attitude, he felt that he had lowered his posture, and he still provoked this kind of treatment!

Huangfusong visibly trembled when he heard these words, although he didn't speak, his clenched fists seemed to become tighter.

"Take it away!"

Following Zhang Wen's scolding, the soldiers escorted Huangfusong out of the city.

"See how long you are still arrogant!"

Looking at Huangfusong who was going away, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Wen's mouth.

Zhang Wen knew very well that when Huangfu Song arrived in Luoyang, even if the death penalty could be avoided, the life penalty would definitely be inevitable!

With ten permanent servants around, Huangfusong will lose his skin even if he is not dead!

"Have Zhou Shen and Dong Zhuo arrived? Is there any news?"

The little school bowed to Zhang Wen and replied: "General Cheqi, General Dong and General Zhou have both rushed to Meiyang, and they will arrive within five days!"

Zhang Wen nodded and calmed down a little. Now he was afraid that the Xiliang army would suddenly attack the city, so he panicked.

However, there are still more than 50,000 soldiers in Meiyang City, 40,000 of which he brought from Chang'an, and the rest are left after Huangfusong's defeat.

These soldiers and horses also made Zhang Wen more confident. Even if he couldn't beat Bianzhang Han Sui, there must be no problem in defending the city!

"What about the latter general? Is there any news about him?"

"I want to report to the general of the chariot, and the exact news of the general for the time being, but according to the itinerary, we can reach Meiyang in about ten days at most!"

"it is good!"

Zhang Wen still attaches great importance to Liu Zhang. After all, he put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion by himself.

When Zhang Wen was first appointed, he was a little panicked. After all, he had never led an army before, and even he himself didn't know why Liu Hong trusted him so much!

In fact, it is very simple, Zhang Wen belongs to the imperial party, although he is not Liu Hong's confidant, but he is indeed only loyal to Liu Hong's faction.

Zhang Wen couldn't help thinking of Liu Hong's entrustment to him before leaving.

"Zhang Aiqing, you have a great relationship with this expedition! You must not be greedy for merit and follow in Huangfusong's footsteps!"

"Remember, fighting the rebels can be useless, but you must not make mistakes. At least you must ensure that Meiyang is not lost, and the royal mausoleum is not threatened! Once Meiyang loses and the mausoleum is stolen, I will become the sinner of the big man ! How will I go to see the ancestors of the Han Dynasty in the future?"

"You go to Meiyang to replace Huangfusong first, I have already notified the rear general, and asked him to lead the troops to help you in a few days!"

"Although the latter general is young, he has unique insights into military affairs, and his planning and conquest on the battlefield is no less than that of a veteran! Do you have to listen to his opinions and suggestions?"

"Remember, don't be arrogant, and don't disappoint my expectations of you!"

Although Zhang Wen has no extraordinary abilities, his loyalty to Liu Hong is beyond doubt, and he is the purest imperial party!

It is an absolute welcome and thanks to Liu Hong for sending Liu Zhang to him.

With Liu Zhang around, at least it can increase the possibility of victory. Even if he fails, he won't be killed like Huangfusong!

In short, no matter what the result is, whether it is a victory or a loss, someone will share the responsibility for him.

Even if he is defeated in the end, Zhang Wen can still shift the responsibility to Liu Zhang!

And Zhang Wen, of course, can stand on the ground of innocence!
