Chapter 223 Want to repudiate
That sigh represents a kind of euphemistic submission.
Liu Feng laughed.
On the same day, Liu Feng arranged for someone to send Jiang Wan back to Jingzhou, and by the way, he sent back the news of Wuxian Dajie.
Liu Feng needs to use the news of victory to establish his prestige in Jingzhou and appease the people.
The day after breaking through Wu County, Liu Feng's 20,000 troops advanced against Jiangxi and successfully opened out of the Three Gorges area.
After hearing the news of the loss of Wu County, from the west of Wu County, Baidi, Quren and other counties in Badong County looked at the wind and fell. Liu Feng's army went all the way to the sheep canal within a few days.
Yang Yi, the guard here, blocked the 5,000 Huang Zhong's troops from the Yishui path with a thousand soldiers and horses. When he was about to show his skills again, the news of Wuxian's defeat defeated all his dreams.
Yangqu County is far less strong than Wu County. Yang Yi is also self-aware. She knows that she can't resist Liu Feng's tens of thousands of troops with a thousand soldiers and horses. Therefore, Yang Yi gave up Yangqu on the same day and fled to Shuzhong in a hurry.
Attack the Yangqu, and the whole Badong County was in his hands. The door to Shuzhong had been opened to him. After rendezvous with Huang Zhong's troops, Liu Feng continued to advance to Ba County along the Yangtze River.
Tens of thousands of troops were full of vibrity, and they attacked all along the way. The defenders loyal to Liu Bei were defeated. They were forced to surrender to Liu Bei's county officials. In the face of the general situation, they turned to Liu Feng one after another.
On the seventh day after the capture of Wu County, Liu Feng's army arrived at the city of Jiangzhou, the seat of Ba County.
Jingzhou and Yizhou are separated by endless mountains. The Yangtze River runs through it from west to east. The Yangtze River waterway and the mountain roads on both sides are the main channels connecting the two states.
If Yidao City is the exit of Jingzhou on the side of this channel, then Jiangzhou (now Yucheng) is the exit of this channel in the direction of Yizhou.
Crossing Jiangzhou is equivalent to walking out of the mountains and smoothly entering the open Chengdu Plain.
Continue to follow the river to the west. After passing Jiangyang County and Qianwei County in the plains, you can reach the south of Chengdu.
Travel along Fushui to the northwest. Through Dongguanghan County, you can enter Ziqi County and reach Fucheng.
Or take the Western Han River and enter the Brazilian county, you can go straight to the Brazilian county to govern Langzhong.
Jiangzhou is connected in all directions, which can be said to be the most important strategic place east of Chengdu.
Previously, Liu Zhang ordered Yan Yan, the governor of Ba County, to lead 7,000 troops to defend Jiangzhou, and was fiercely attacked by the second batch of Jingzhou troops led by Zhuge Liang, which was originally in danger.
Liu Feng's sudden attack on Jingzhou completely disrupted Zhuge Liang's deployment, forcing him to divide his troops to attack Brazil, Dongguanghan and other counties as soon as possible, and send troops back to guard Jianping, Badong and other counties.
Zhuge Liang was such a soldier, and the pressure on Yan Yan suddenly decreased sharply. Later, Liu Zhang sent another 3,000 reinforcements to Yan Yan, telling him that Liu Feng had sent troops, so that he must stick to Jiangzhou.
Encouraged by this, Yan Yan encouraged the soldiers of the Jiangzhou Army to resist the attack of Liu Bei's army for several months. Now, he finally waited for Liu Feng's reinforcements.
Wu County's defeat was so sudden that there was almost no sign. On the road from Wu County to Jiangzhou hundreds of miles, almost all the counties along the way did not fight. In this case, Liu Bei had to withdraw the siege of Jiangzhou and quickly withdraw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north.
When Liu Fengjun arrived in Jiangzhou, it was the second day after Liu Beijun withdrew.
At this time of the war, the situation was much more favorable to Liu Feng, but he did not take advantage of the victory to attack Liu Bei's army, but stationed troops to rest in the east of Jiangzhou.
When Yan Yan heard that Liu Feng had arrived, she sent people out of the city to send a lot of labor gifts as condolences on the same day. Liu Feng accepted the gift, but then sent messengers to the city. He took Liu Zhang's handwriting to see Yan Yan and invited Yan to enter the camp to see him.
According to the previous agreement between the two sides, Liu Zhang used the cession of Badong, Fuling and Ba County as a reward for Liu Feng's troops.
At present, Liu Feng has fulfilled his promise to send troops, so according to the agreement, in theory, Yan Yan, the governor of Ba County, and the Jiangzhou army under his command, as well as the sergeants and households in a county, have become Liu Feng's subordinates and accept Liu Feng's full command.
Ba County is so important that Liu Feng will not use troops easily until he is confirmed to complete his control.
Yan Yan naturally knew the agreement between Er Liu, but knowing it did not mean that he was willing to accept it.
When Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to Shu, Yan insisted on his opposition. At present, Liu Zhang invited Liu Feng to Shu. Although it was a stopgap measure, in Yan Yan's view, the two people surnamed Liu from Jingzhou were not good masters.
In Yan Yan's opinion, Liu Bei is a wolf, and Liu Feng is a tiger.
Liu Feng can seize Liu Bei's Jingzhou by such means. With his ambition, how can he not be moved by the soft bones that everyone in Yizhou wants to bite?
If you give up Ba County to Liu Feng, if this person turns into an enemy in the future, Chengdu will almost lose it, and how can he resist his front?
Thinking about all kinds of things, Yan Yan planned to refuse to obey.
Of course, Yan Yan did not dare to openly resist Liu Feng's order at this time. While perfunctory Liu Feng on the grounds of physical inconvenience, he quickly sent someone to Chengdu to meet Liu Zhang and proposed to modify the original agreement and no longer cede Ba County to Liu Feng.
........................Chengdu, the state pastoral government.
It is called the state pastoral government, but its splendor is no less than that of the palace.
No one knows how many pavilions are hidden in this huge mansion. There are a lot of beautiful house corridors. You can't see the end and you can't walk.
The courtyard where the council hall is located, looking around, is a piece of golden light.
The columns and tiles of the surrounding buildings are made of cast copper, and the patterns of dragons and tigers are painted with gold paint. Under the sun, it reflects the dazzling golden light.This state pastoral government was created by Liu Yan, Liu Zhang's father, with all his heart. It was originally intended to be the palace after he became emperor.
Who would have thought that a fire from the sky would burn more than a thousand heavenly car tents he painstakingly built? Liu Yan was so angry that he was seriously ill. Soon after, he gave up and left the magnificent Zhumen mansion to his son Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang didn't live comfortably in the magnificent mansion.
Since he succeeded to the throne, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong has repeatedly sent troops to invade. Pang Xi of Brazil County openly dominates and refused to obey orders. The enemies inside and outside bullied him as an honest man.
Finally, Liu Bei, who is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, was invited to let him support himself, but as a result, he led the wolf into the house.
Lucheng's emergency reports were sent one after another. I don't know how many reinforcements were sent, but Lucheng was like a bottomless hole. No matter how many soldiers and horses he sent, it was swallowed up by Liu Bei's bloody mouth.
At present, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu. Liu Zhang doesn't know how long the only family can last. He is sad all the time.
But today, Liu Zhang can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The news came from Ba County that Liu Zhang was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and the man he thought about at night finally came to him.
As soon as he got the good news, Liu Zhang summoned the civil and military staff to publicize this "good news" and sent a flying horse to Lucheng to try to use this good news to boost the front-line soldiers who were almost in a desperate situation.
Unexpectedly, the good news didn't last long, and a letter from Yan Yan's urgent letter ruined Liu's mood.
After the sandalwood case, Liu Fengku sat at the banquet and looked at the letter in his hand with a bitter face.
Over the past year, he has been tortured by Liu Bei, and his original rich face is so thin that even his cheekbones can be faintly visible. "Guys, Yan Xibo said in the letter that Liu Feng has the hero of tigers and wolves, and he must be on guarded. He suggested that I amend the previous agreement and not cut Ba County to Liu Feng. What do you think?
Liu Zhang showed the letter from Yan Yan to everyone and asked for their opinions anxiously.
At this time, Huang Quan was the first to stand up, looking extremely solemn, and arched his hand and said, "Lord, this is a must."
"No?"
Liu Zhang's sparse eyebrows condensed slightly, and his expression seemed to be a little unhappy. "Why not?"
Huang Quan shouted loudly, "At the beginning, the lord asked people to cede the three counties in eastern Sichuan as a reward for asking Liu Zhennan to send troops to Shu to save him. Now Liu Zhennan has fulfilled his promise. If the lord destroys the Old Testament at this time, will he not become a treacherous person?
The voice fell, and the next person in the order said coldly, "When my father invited Liu Bei to Shu, he kept his promise. He used money and food, and increased soldiers. As a result, Liu Bei repaid his kindness. With the previous experience, how can my father make the same mistake again?
Huang Quan looked for his voice and saw the speaker, which was Liu Zhang's second son, Liu Xuan.
When it comes to Liu Bei, Liu Zhang couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and his face was full of hatred.
"A Jian's statement is not unreasonable. Liu Feng can turn against Liu Bei as an adopted son, kill his beloved general and seize his foundation. It can be seen that this person's heart is fierce, and we have to guard against it."
Liu Zhang agrees with the words of the second son, or he has the meaning of repudiation in his heart, but he just needs to say it with the help of others.
Huang Quan over there was anxious and hurriedly said, "What the second son said is reasonable, but the current situation is that the siege of Lucheng has not been solved. We still need Liu Zhennan's help. What if the lord tore up the agreement and annoys Liu Zhennan?
A rhetorical question made Liu Zhang's expression change slightly.
"Then it's okay if Liu Zhennan withdraws his troops after a hit. If he uses this as an excuse to send troops to attack our state, with his sharp momentum, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei. At that time, the lord will be attacked by the enemy on both sides, and the general situation will be in danger."
"This..."
Liu Zhang was a little scared by Huang Quan's hypothesis and panicked for a moment.
Liu Xuan sneered and said, "Gong Heng, don't be alarmistful. Who said that my father was going to tear up the agreement? My father just wanted to modify it. Isn't it just a Ba county? At worst, let's replace it with a huge amount of money and food as a condition, which is not a breach of contract. Then what excuse can Liu Feng have against us?
Hearing these words, Liu Zhang suddenly smiled and said yes.
Huang Quan, under thestage, knew that Liu Zhang's idea had been decided early, and his persuasion was invalid, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
