Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 806 Liu Zhang's Careful Thinking

Huang Quan said calmly: "The messenger is just a bluff, otherwise, how can he become angry after being pierced by me? Don't worry, the lord does not need to worry. There are still more than fifteen thousand elite soldiers, enough for ten years, if the enemy forces attack the city, it will only hit a wall."

After listening to Huang Quan’s explanation, Liu Zhang felt relieved, but he said again: “But since the enemy has already been under the city, we can’t keep this empty city?”

Huang Quan was silent for a while, and said, "Does the lord want to bring back the headquarters of the sword pavilion?"

Now that the institutional force that can be mobilized in Bashu is only one branch of Jiange Zhang, if Chengdu wants to clear the siege, then it can only order Zhang Ren to return to aid.

Liu Zhang nodded: "Yes, now Chengdu is surrounded by enemy troops. It is a problem for our army to transport grain and grass to the governor's subordinates. What if the troops and horses of the governor are not transferred back?"

Huang Quan frowned: "But the sword pavilion is the last barrier of our army. Once the chief governor withdraws from the sword pavilion, the Liangzhou army must be able to drive straight in. Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Liu Zhang said anxiously, "What should we do? Is it possible that the enemy forces besieged Chengdu while our army is indifferent?"

Huang Quan had already thought about a two-pronged strategy. He said: "You can order the general governor to send a partial division to the south to cooperate with the soldiers in our city, Mali, and it is enough to defeat the enemy. In addition, you can also send a surprise attack on Mianzhu Pass. Cut off the enemy's retreat, the sword pavilion cannot be lost."

It can be said that Huang Quan's strategy is quite good. If applied properly, there is even the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Liu Zhang thought about it a little bit: "It's okay, then do what you said, and so will write to the chief governor himself."

Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy had smuggled in from the Yinping Trail, with few soldiers and horses. If Zhang Jaw really brought thirty thousand troops, even if his tongue was like a spring, I am afraid he would not be able to stop Liu Zhang from calling Zhang. Let all the soldiers go south.

However, Huang Quan didn’t know Liu Zhang’s careful thoughts. According to Wang Wen’s words, Liu Zhang’s letter described Zhang Jaw’s 30,000 troops and had already conquered Mianzhu Pass. He is now violently attacking Chengdu. I hope that the governor will lead his troops to the south as soon as possible. .

No matter how strong Huang Quan is, it is naturally impossible to check Liu Zhang's autographs. He never dreamed that Liu Zhang had promised well on the surface, but in fact he secretly changed the content of the letter.

Liu Zhang didn't dare to neglect this matter. After all, the "Thirty Thousand Heroes" with jaws was staring outside Chengdu, so he sealed the letter immediately after he wrote the letter, and then handed the letter to Wang Lei, the servant, who ordered him to ride a horse and send it quickly. To Jiange.

Naturally, Wang Lei didn't dare to neglect. After receiving Liu Zhang's order, without saying anything, he immediately flew towards the sword pavilion day and night.

Poor Wang Lei, a literati, rode a fast horse for six days, both of the inner thighs were worn out, and finally reached under the sword pavilion.

"Wang Shizhong, why are you here?"

Deng Xian couldn't help being surprised when he saw Wang Lei. Isn't he by the lord's side? Why did you suddenly appear in Jiange?

"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see the chief governor!"

Seeing Wang Lei's appearance in a hurry, Deng Xian naturally did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly led Wang Lei towards Zhang Renchu.

"The general governor, Deng Xian, the final general, if you have something to see."

"come in."

Zhang Ren was reading a volume of military books in the house, and he was surprised when he raised his head. Why did Wang Lei also come here?

"It's just escorting grain and grass, why did Wang Shizhong come here in person?" Zhang Ren smiled and stood up.

"General Governor, Wang Lei is not here to **** the grain and grass. If there is no accident, I am afraid that Chengdu will not be able to transport grain and grass to Jiange."

Wang Lei said bitterly.

"What? Jiange is solid, as long as there is enough grain and grass, it is not a problem to stick to it for ten or eight years, how can there be no grain and grass?" Zhang Ren said angrily.

"Oh! Liangzhou army besieged Chengdu, why did the grain and grass come out?"

With a long sigh, Wang Lei took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Ren.

"what?"

Zhang Ren frowned, and immediately tore open the letter after receiving the letter and took it out for viewing. The more he watched, the more worried he became, and his brow furrowed deeper and deeper. By the end of his face, his complexion had turned dark, and his eyebrows wanted to jump out to kill.

"The chief governor?" Deng Xian couldn't help but asked aloud, looking frightened.

"Ugh!"

Zhang Ren gave a low shout, and the veins and blood vessels in the temples bulged up from under the skin, as if they were about to explode. Deng Xian had followed Zhang Ren for many years, and this was the first time he saw him gaffe.

"God won't bless me, how can it be?"

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly, and insisted on holding Jiameng Pass and Jiangzhou. Although the Liangzhou army had a hundred thousand people, it could not reach Jiancheng Xiongguan. Jiangzhou is lost, at least there is a sword pavilion to defend, but now even the sword pavilion has to be discarded, can Yizhou still be kept?

"Please make the decision quickly." Wang Lei said bluntly.

Zhang Ren nodded and resolutely said: "Order the entire army to pack up, and to withdraw from the sword pavilion in the dark tonight, and plant a grass man to confuse the enemy."

"Here..."

Deng Xian's tone was also a little low, he didn't understand, why? Obviously before, at Jiameng Pass, and now at Jiange, they have already resisted the Xiliang Army and used their vigor, but why did they retreat twice in a row? Why?

"What are you still doing? Don't you go down and prepare?" Zhang Ren urged with a bad temper. Deng Xian agreed in a low voice and walked out.

"Wang Shizhong, you have worked hard from a long distance. Please rest here. Let's withdraw our troops until the evening. The governor has other important tasks, so I won't be with you."

After Zhang Ren confessed to Wang Lei, he hurried out.

Zhang Ren's generals passed on, and nearly 30,000 Yizhou soldiers were naturally packing their bags and packing.

"Zhang is engaged, the chief governor has orders, Chengdu has changed, and he will withdraw his troops to Chengdu tonight."

"What? Okay, I see. Go down."

After Zhang Song heard this order, he was surprised at first, and then he came to understand. It seems that Mengda has succeeded. The partial division sent by Liu Ye has already taken Mianzhuguan and forced Chengdu. Liu Jiyu must have grown up. Shocked, he wrote a letter asking Zhang Ren to return to his teacher, otherwise how could he leave in such a hurry?

"This is a good opportunity, you have to tell the general quickly!"

As soon as Zhang Song's eyes turned, he had an idea. He hurriedly took out his pen and ink, swiped a book in a moment, and then called a close friend of his.

"When you withdraw troops tonight, stay in my room and don't walk around. When the army is gone, you will immediately rush out of the city and give this letter to the general, you know?"
