Chapter 175: Qi Gan Liu Zhang
However, Zhang Lu remembered the revenge of killing his mother, and also remembered that he had not beaten Liu Zhang for a long time. In addition, he felt a little guilty towards Cao Ang, so he decided to send troops to Yizhou and teach Liu Zhang a lesson.
General Yang Ren came to pay a visit.
Yang Ren, whose courtesy name was Jinkang, was a brave general under Zhang Lu. He had a little trick. Zhang Lu fought with Liu Zhang, and often regarded Yang Ren as his vanguard.
"Master."
Zhang Lu nodded, "Jin Kang, Liu Zhang has been making trouble recently, are you willing to lead the troops and attack him?"
Yang Ren bowed and said, "For the general under the lord, I will fight against the evil thief. It is my responsibility!"
Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction, "I will go to attack Brazil with you with 6,000 soldiers."
Yang Ren received the order and left.
Xu Shu general Hanzhong Ting and Cao Ang laughed, "I'll see how Liu Zhang deals with you!"
Cao Ang then wrote the plan in the book and sent several Jinyiwei to search for Wei Yan with letters.
After a few days of writing, Wei Yan got Cao Ang's plan and lamented for Liu Zhang. He selected dozens of smart soldiers with Yizhou accents to teach the Jinyiwei soldiers to be familiar with the Yizhou accent. After the Jinyiwei soldiers were familiar with the Jinyiwei soldiers, they showed Cao Ang's orders and ordered him to pretend to be a businessman and go to Jingnan.
The people took the goods to Changsha, spreading news in Changsha City about looking for the great merchant Mi Fang, and then sold the goods and left quickly.
The news reached Liu Bei's ears within a few days. Liu Bei felt suspicious. The two Mi brothers had surrendered Cao Ang. How could there be a merchant looking for Mi Fang in Changsha?
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard ran away, so Liu Bei had to call a few local merchants to ask.
The local merchants all said that those merchants came from Yizhou and met Mi Fang in Yizhou a few days ago. They didn't dare to disturb him, so they had to come all the way.
Liu Bei felt suspicious. Mi Fang had been to Jingnan? Why didn’t he know?
I quickly asked my subordinates to investigate, and finally someone said that when Zhang Song returned to the front, he seemed to have seen Mi Fang among the men. The person who said this was an old man who had followed Liu Bei for many years.
Liu Bei immediately believed it for more than half, and at the same time remembered that Liu Zhang had not sent an envoy to pay homage to the emperor over the years. Is it really such a coincidence?
At this time, Guan Yu came to report that Zhang Lu had his troops on the border between Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and at the same time, he sent general Yang Ren to lead his troops to attack Brazil.
Liu Bei shouted, "I know!"
So he asked someone to come and talk about this.
"Yizhou must be connected with Cao Ang!"
Liu Bei solemnly came to this conclusion.
"Why did Zhang Lu send troops to Yizhou? He sent troops to Jingzhou? It must be that Cao Ang and Yizhou were connected. Zhang Lu was frightened, afraid that the two of them would attack together, so there was something wrong!"
Liu Bei also talked about Mi Fang's affairs and called the soldier who had seen Mi Fang's face.
In front of many big names, the old man became more and more convinced that he had indeed met Mi Fang.
Even Jia Xu felt that it made sense under Liu Bei's strong analysis, and he was almost inseparable from all sides.
Liu Bei couldn't help it now. He lost Hanshou and lost consecutive battles and consecutive defeats were always a pain in his heart. Now that he has a point of venting, how could he not catch it?
"The clouds are long!"
"promise!"
"You lead five thousand troops to Wuling, and attack from Wuling to Xiyizhou. If you have any gains, you will guard Wuling and order Kong Ming to return to Changsha."
Guan Yu was overjoyed. He was able to take up the command of the troops and guard the troops. He should fight with Wei Yan to avenge his previous shame!
Guan Yu agreed loudly and left.
Jia Xu originally wanted to stop Guan Yu, but when he saw the spirit in Liu Bei and Guan Yu's eyes, he still felt that it would be better not to take care of it, so as not to get rid of Liu Bei. Even if he failed, it would not be his Jia Wenhe's fault.
But Liu Zhang was so complacent that he was unhappy when he heard that Zhang Lu sent the general Yang Ren to attack. In his plan, Zhang Lu's attack was indeed inevitable.
“Fangzheng.”
"promise!"
"Distribute the book and Yan Yan still follow the previous one, defending without attacking, and defending and retreating Yang Ren."
"promise!"
Liu Zhang chuckled, the plan had been completed, and some small things could still be afforded.
A few days later, Guan Yu brought three thousand personal soldiers and two thousand cavalry to Wuling overnight.
Zhuge Liang followed Guan Yu and asked where Guan Yu came from.
Guan Yu was convinced by Zhuge Liang's talent and knowledge, so he told him about this.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time, but felt something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't find any flaws.
Zhuge Liang advised: "Now that Zhang Lu sent Yang Ren to attack, the general should watch the changes. What if he sends troops at that time?"
At this time, Yang Ren was attacking Brazil, and Guan Yu knew it, and was afraid of missing the opportunity. Guan Yu ignored Zhuge Liang's words and led his troops to attack Yizhou.
Zhuge Liang could not stop him, the key was that he had no persuasive reason, so he had to let Guan Yu go, guarding Hanshou while preparing to pick up Guan Yu.
But Liu Zhang was so happy, and when he heard that Guan Yu led his troops to attack, he was shocked. Guan Yu was no more than Yang Ren's pussy. Besides, Guan Yu was under Liu Bei's command. Liu Bei sent someone to speak out, so how did he attack now?
Liu Zhang hurriedly sent general Zhang Ren to lead five thousand troops to defend the city.
Guan Yu led his troops to Fuling. Zhang Ren felt that Guan Yu was just like that, and he felt that he was unparalleled in courage, so he was not at all.
When Zhang Ren arrived in Fuling City, he saw that Guan Yu had only five or six thousand people. He thought that there were five thousand people here, and he was still defending the city. How could Guan Yu break it?
Therefore, I felt more and more at ease, and I brought five hundred personal soldiers out of the city to challenge, "Where is Guan Yu? Do you dare to come out to talk?"
When Guan Yu saw the enemy general calling out, he slapped out with a knife.
When Zhang Ren saw Guan Yu coming out, "Guan Yu, how did your lord break his promise and attack? Don't you know that Jingnan has formed an alliance with Yizhou?"
In fact, Guan Yu had some questions in his heart. Taking this opportunity, Guan Yu shouted: "Breach your trust? Your lord Liu Zhang joined Cao Ang to do a good deed!"
Zhang Ren was embarrassed. He didn't know Liu Zhang's plan, but he knew that Zhang Song had been to Xuzhou and Mi Fang had been to Yizhou.
"What nonsense? Since you are sending troops, you'll be here to fight!" Zhang Ren shouted loudly and snapped up the horse to take it.
Seeing that Zhang Ren was disagreeing, Guan Yu turned to fight with violence. He knew that Yizhou must have colluded with Cao Ang, so he shouted "Shameless and traitorous" and then slapped the horse to fight.
Zhang Ren was skilled in shooting skills, but Guan Yu was even better. The bigger Zhang Ren became, the more frightened he knew that he was not Guan Yu's opponent, and he could not fight for fifty rounds, so he left.
Guan Yu laughed loudly and did not attack Da. The frustration he had over the past few days finally vented. I will definitely take the lead in Fuling City!
There was a chaos in the south, and Zhang Lu and Liu Bei besieged Liu Zhang. The news reached Cao Ang's ears. Cao Ang laughed, "In this way, I will only add another fire to the whole south, and the whole south will burn!"
Cao Ang wrote another letter to Ling Tong.
However, when Sun Quan heard that Liu Bei sent troops to attack Liu Zhang, he was anxious. He didn't care why Liu Bei beat Liu Zhang, he was afraid that Liu Bei would get Yizhou.
If Liu Bei had obtained Yizhou, he would have sufficient soldiers and food to defend Xichuan by then, and might have plotted against him in Jiangdong!
Therefore, Sun Quan hurriedly sent a letter asking Liu Bei to put the overall situation first and not attack Liu Zhang!
Chapter completed!
