Chapter 248 Jia Long and Chen Wang seek Hanzhong
Most of the tens of thousands of soldiers led by King Chen Liu Chong were carrying crossbows and arrow pots. They marched in neat steps and with majestic weapons, making them the strongest troops in the world.
Jia Long stood outside Fang County, watching King Chen's army march towards him slowly and swiftly, covered in sand and dust, walking solidly and vigorously, his throat rolled up involuntarily, and he secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit.
, horrified in heart.
What a strong army!
With the help of this army, it would not be difficult to capture the whole of Hanzhong, let alone Fang County.
Jia Long narrowed his eyes and began to make secret calculations in his mind.
After a while, the powerful army came a hundred steps away from Jia Long and others. Under the command of the leading general, they all stopped in their tracks.
This alone shows the excellence of his military training.
But seeing that his camp was slowly opened, the two cavalrymen slowly rode towards Jia Long's location.
Of the two cavalry generals, the first one is tall, wearing black armor, with a straight back and a resolute face.
However, although the warrior's figure was extremely majestic, his old face under his chin was full of old wrinkles, and not a single black hair could be found on the gray beard on his chin, which made him look extremely old.
But it's no wonder that Liu Chong is already over sixty years old and can be regarded as an old man with today and no tomorrow.
The middle-aged man beside him was Luo Jun, his state minister in Chen State, who was Liu Chong's most important confidant.
In Chen State, Liu Chong was good at martial arts and Luo Jun was good at planning. The two men complemented each other in both literature and military affairs. Together with Chen State's 100,000 troops, they were able to dominate the world.
Jia Long took a deep breath, stepped forward, raised his hands to Liu Chong, and said loudly: "Jia Long, the last general, pays homage to the king!"
Liu Chong turned over and dismounted, his movements were very skillful and swift, and his flowing posture was no less than that of a young and strong man. There was no trace of old age in his movement.
He strode up to Jia Long, looked at Jia Long up and down for a while, and suddenly stretched out a palm.
Jia Long couldn't help but be startled when he saw this.
When he was young, he understood Liu Chong's intention.
This King Chen was indeed as fond of martial arts and aggressive as the rumors said.
Jia Long took a deep breath and reached out to palm Liu Chong. When the two met for the first time, they actually started to compete with each other and gained strength!
A huge force came from Jia Long's palm, which actually made Jia Long feel at a loss.
What a lot of strength!
Is this old guy...really sixty years old?
When he was young, he saw Liu Chong's wrist gradually bending to the side, obviously trying to knock Jia Long down... But for some reason, at the last moment, he saw King Chen actually let go of his hand again.
At the moment when he was about to win, the old man left face for Jia Long.
"I have long heard about the reputation of Jia Jun as a fierce martial artist in Sichuan. Today I saw that he is indeed a man who lives up to his name and his methods are very impressive. He is indeed worthy of being the number one general in Sichuan."
Jia Long bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am so complimentary. I really don't dare to accept this."
"Let's go into the city to talk. Why are we standing here?" Liu Chong waved to Jia Long and said with a heroic smile.
Seeing this, Jia Long couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He secretly thought that King Chen was really arrogant when he spoke, but he didn't know who was in whose territory.
A group of people entered Fang County and came to the main hall of the county office. Although King Chen was a guest from afar, he stayed high in the hall because of his respected status. The rest of the people knelt and sat on both sides of the hall, listening to his orders.
Liu Chong took off his beard, revealing a head full of white hair. He stroked his beard, looked back and forth at everyone, and suddenly said: "Jing Sheng wrote a letter asking him to send troops to Luoyang to help Jia Gong capture Hanzhong."
, to shock Liu Junlang in Sichuan... Junlang and Gu are from the same clan, and Gu should not have to deal with each other, but now the world is in chaos, with Dong Zhuo in the west and two Yuan Yuans in the east, all recruiting troops and gathering people together, which has become a climate that threatens the country and the country. In this critical time, Liu Junlang, as
A member of the clan did not want to serve the country, but instead set up an illegal system in Shu. His disobedience was clearly revealed. If he did not punish him, if he proclaimed himself emperor in the future, what would happen to the Han family and the country?
Where is the face of the clan members? And where should we deal with His Majesty who has fallen deeply into Dong Zhuo's hands? Although I don't want to, I have to do it this time."
Liu Chong's words were beautiful, but the fundamental reason was to explain to everyone why he wanted to attack his fellow sect Liu Yan.
These days, everything must be justified and justified. Even if everyone knows what is going on, as a person in power, you must constantly emphasize some things.
Jia Long stood up and said to Liu Chong: "The king's actions today are all for the country, the people and the world. Who among the people in the world dares not to appreciate the virtue of the king?"
Liu Chong laughed loudly and said: "If everyone in the world could understand Gu's heart like Jia Jun, then Gu would be willing to risk his life for the people of the world."
Luo Jun, the Prime Minister of Chen Guo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "General Jia, your Majesty and others came to Fang County to help the general in his plan to capture the counties in eastern Hanzhong... However, in Jun's opinion, although our troops are strong, they are still foreigners.
My guests, I don’t know the current situation in Shu... How should we march next? I wonder if General Jia has made plans?"
Jia Long pondered for a while and said: "At present, the leaders of the two religions under Liu Yan, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu, have led their troops to Hanzhong. They are currently fighting against the soldiers and horses of the governor Su Gu in the Han River. I want to take advantage of this opportunity.
It’s a good opportunity to conquer Xiping and Shangyong first, then march to Nanzheng, expel Zhang Lu, Zhang Xiu, Su Gu and others, and occupy Hanzhong!"
King Chen and Luo Jun exchanged slightly surprised looks at each other.
But I saw King Chen stroking his white beard and saying with a smile: "If I remember correctly, in Liu Jingsheng's letter to Gu, it seems that he only mentioned that he would ask me to assist Jia Jun in conquering the counties in the eastern part of Hanzhong, but did not say that he would take over all Hanzhong."
Things?"
Jia Long said: "Occupying the counties in the eastern part of Hanzhong was indeed the strategy decided by Liu Fujun and the last general at the beginning, but at that time the Fujun and the last general never thought that Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu would actually lead their troops to attack Hanzhong.
, at this time of great chaos, if we don’t completely capture Hanzhong, wouldn’t we miss a good opportunity? The land of Nanzheng is the throat of Hanzhong. If we can capture Nanzheng, it will not be difficult to invade the hinterland of Yizhou the next day. Please give me some advice, your Majesty.
."
King Chen stroked his white beard and said with a half-smile: "In that case, let's follow what Jia Gong said. After waiting for two days to organize the army, we will send troops to help you capture Shangyong, Xicheng and other places. Then we will march westward.
Go and capture Nanzheng and seize all of Hanzhong!"
When Jia Long heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Long, thank you so much for your kindness!"
That night, Jia Long held a banquet at the county office in Fang County to entertain King Chen and other major generals of the Chen Kingdom.
After the banquet, King Chen said goodbye to Luo Jun and returned to the military camp outside the city to stay temporarily.
Jia Long asked King Chen to live in the post house, but King Chen refused. He said that he would live with the soldiers of the three armies to stabilize the morale of the army.
Jia Long couldn't defeat him and had no choice but to let King Chen leave.
During the banquet, King Chen seemed to be very drunk. After leaving Fang County and returning to his military camp, he immediately changed his state!
He was in high spirits, but there was no hint of drunkenness in his appearance.
Liu Chong did not go to bed in a hurry, but brought Luo Jun to the commander's tent to discuss with him secretly.
"Xiaoyuan and Jing Sheng wrote in Yu Gu's letter that they wanted me to help Jia Long seize Fangxian, Xicheng, Shangyong and other counties. But now Jia Long wants to seize the entire territory of Hanzhong. How should this matter be handled?
"
Luo Jun said in a low voice: "Jia Long is a vassal of Liu Jingzhou. Although everyone in the world says that Liu Junlang has betrayed him, Jia Long may not be a loyal person. We must be on guard... Now that the king is here,
Quan can help him succeed, and first take over Shangyong and other places for him to settle down. As for the follow-up... Your Majesty, you might as well write to Liu Jingsheng and tell him all the things happening here to see what he thinks. After all, this is his own home in Jingzhou.
