Liu Zhang quickly stood up and walked to the side of the map, his eyes focused on the direction of Jia Xu's finger.

"Wenhe, this Jia Long has a unique vision! Chengdu, Guangdu, and Pixian County are all in the same boat. We can't steal him through his arrangement..."

Liu Zhang originally thought that Jia Xu meant to directly attack other counties in Shu County, but now it seems that this move is definitely not going to work.

The three counties of Chengdu, Guangdu, and Pixian are like three nails stationed on the Chengdu Plain. Liu Zhang cannot ignore these three counties and go around.

Jia Xu nodded and pointed to the map again.

"My lord, not only that, Wuyang, which was moved to the county seat, is not far from Guangxi, and there is also a 20,000 army stationed at the moment."

Hearing this news, Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu helplessly as if he had been poured with cold water.

"Wenhe, if this is the case, it means that we wasted half a year for Jia Long to deploy. Now these three cities have become a nail that we can't get around..."

Liu Zhang repeatedly looked at the location on the map. As long as these three cities are in the hands of Jia Long, the five counties and three roads in the rear will be safe and sound even if they are not fortified.

Jia Xu was not as sad as Liu Zhang, and still had a smile on his face.

"My lord, do you know who the guards of Guangdu and Pixian are?"

"It's nothing more than a local big family, right?"

There is nothing to think about this question. Jia Long is nothing more than imitating Zhao Wei and giving great benefits to the aristocratic families in the counties to fight against him.

"The general of Pi County is He Zong, a talented man from the He family of the Pi County family. Jia Long just appointed He Zong as the county magistrate of Pi County."

Liu Zhang nodded. He knew He Zong, who was also a descendant of a famous family. Historically, he had persuaded Liu Bei to ascend the throne.

"It must be the same in Guangdu, right?"

Jia Xu shook his head, the smile on his face deepened.

"The defender of Guangdu is Zhang Yi!"

"Zhang Yi? Isn't he from Chengdu?"

This appointment really surprised Liu Zhang. Jia Long did not tell the Guangdu family in a disguised form that I, Jia Long, do not trust you!

"Yes, this is where Jia Long is stupid. He gave great trust to the aristocratic family in Pi County, but gave the safety and security of Guangdu to Zhang Yi from Chengdu."

Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, and the thoughts in his mind became active.

"Wenhe wants to lure the aristocratic family of Guangdu County?"

A city guarded by 5,000 people will be very difficult to capture if the guards are properly arranged.

Even if Liu Zhang besieged the city on all sides, the losses would still be huge.

But it's different if there is an internal response. As long as the city gate can be opened, 5,000 people will definitely not be able to stop Liu Zhang's troops.

But Jia Xu's response was once again beyond Liu Zhang's expectations.

"My lord, let's go to Pi County instead of Guangdu!"

"The He family in Pixian County has just been reused by Jia Long, so it may not be easy to lure them to surrender..."

Liu Zhang really wanted to ask why he was going to Pi County, do he eat bean paste?

"My lord, I don't know, this He Zong is Mr. Ren An's disciple. Mr. Ren An said that He Zong is a noble character and has no intention of power. He must not be able to see the evil deeds of Jia Long and others. I still have Mr. Ren An's handwritten letter here. , my lord, as long as you attack Pi County with strong troops, you will be able to persuade He Zong to surrender!"

Liu Zhang felt that happiness came too suddenly, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, will it really go so smoothly?

"Wen He, He Zong is Ren An's disciple, I'm afraid Jia Long also knows about it?"

"That's right, the Yizhou clan is well known to almost everyone."

"Is Jia Long crazy? And hand over Pi County to He Zong?"

It has not been a day or two since Ren An returned to Liu Zhang, and Jia Long must know the news!

If Jia Long knew the news and wanted to do this, would there be any conspiracy in it?

"My lord, don't worry too much, Jia Long is also helpless..."

After hearing what Jia Xu said, Liu Zhang finally understood why Jia Xu was so confident.

The key point of the defense of the entire Shu County is actually on one person, Zhang Yi, the defender of Guangdu!

There are only 5,000 defenders in Guangdu, but there are 20,000 troops in Wuyang, the prefecture of Qianwei, which is not far from Guangdu.

Jia Long once asked Ren Qi to assist in the defense of Guangdu, but Ren Qi refused without hesitation, and has already said that he will only stick to Wuyang and will never take the initiative to attack.

If Ren Qi agreed to assist in the defense of Guangdu, then Jia Long would definitely appoint the aristocratic families in Guangdu County to guard the city in order to stabilize the hearts of the aristocratic families in Shu County.

It's a pity that Ren Qi didn't agree, Jia Long could only pin all his hopes on Zhang Yi from Chengdu.

Zhang Yi's Zhang family is only a middle-class family in Chengdu, but Zhang Yi himself is very close to the Yang family in Wuyang.

If the defender of Guangdu is Zhang Yi, Yang will definitely not stand by and watch if there is a crisis in Guangdu. At that time, whether Ren Qi wants to send troops or not, he will come to rescue Guangdu.

Jia Long suppressed the aristocratic family in Guangdu and forcibly dispatched Zhang Yi, so he must not be able to do so in Pi County.

If the He family of Pi County is suppressed again, maybe this Shu County family will have a different heart! What's more, there have been constant rumors in Shu County in the past six months, and there have long been voices of dissatisfaction with Jia Long.

"My lord, Jia Long was forced to do nothing. This He Zong has to use it if he uses it, and he has to use it if he doesn't use it!"

Liu Zhang was also completely relieved, as long as he broke through Pixian County where He Zong was located, the army could drive straight down and swallow Jiangyuan, Linqiong, Fanxian, and Guangrou cities in one go!

"Wenhe, is the food, grass and weapons ready?"

"My lord, within a month, the food and grass from Hanzhong County and Guanghan Kingdom will be delivered, which will be enough to support an army of 50,000 for a year!"

Only then did Liu Zhang understand that Jia Xu had already planned everything, even the supplies, and was waiting for the spring to urge Liu Zhang to march.

"Okay! This time I will take down Shu County and Qianwei County in one go!"

Liu Zhang can't really let Jia Long and Ren Qi delay for several years, the longer the time, the greater the loss inside Yizhou!

During the period of Emperor Lingdi Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou had a record population of more than 7 million. After these years of wars, the population is estimated to have dropped sharply.

Fortunately, the main battlefield of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was far away from Yizhou, so that this land of abundance was not damaged too much.

"Gongda is far away in Bazhong, and I will also be in Mianzhu. This time I can only rely on the lord to attack Shu County."

Jia Xu was still a little worried. After all, Liu Zhang hadn't led the army alone for a long time.

Xun You had accompanied Liu Zhang during the wars in the past few years, and Zheng Du was also accompanying him when he joined the army in Langzhong last time.

Liu Zhang patted Jia Xu on the shoulder and looked at him confidently.

"Wen Hexiu should underestimate me! Although my Liu Zhang's resourcefulness is not comparable to Wen He and Gongda, it is not comparable to Jia Long and Ren Qi!"

It's not that Liu Zhang is arrogant. If he doesn't even have the confidence to defeat Jia Long and Ren Qi, he might as well stop fighting for world hegemony and just take Liu Yun and Cai Yan to live in a ravine for the rest of his life!

Whether it is Jia Long, Ren Qi or Zhao Wei, they are all small people after all. They are nothing more than relying on their profound family background to pull up a strong army.

If Liu Zhang's background was strong enough, he would have wiped them all out!

"Order, summon the generals to come to discuss the matter!"
