Chapter 59
Xu Chu bowed to Liu Xie and said, "Report to your Majesty, it was Lu's military advisor who asked for a family to come. The military advisor said that Your Majesty personally led a large army to suppress the rebellion. Zhang Lu, Hanzhong, threw 70,000 troops south to Yizhou. This was the time when Hanzhong was extremely empty. Zhao Pang's rebellion was just a small disease of scabies. Your Majesty should send a large army to bypass Zigui and go to Shangyong, attack behind Zhang Lu, and attacked with the Yizhou army of Jiameng Pass, and attacked from front and back. If Your Majesty takes Nanzheng, Zhang Lu will be destroyed!"
After looking at Liu Xie, Xu Chu said again: "Oh by the way, the military advisor Lu also said that Your Majesty does not have to worry about food and grass and military sources. In Xian County, the military advisor Lu has trained three thousand elite soldiers for Your Majesty and has also contacted Shangyong's Shen family. As long as Your Majesty's army arrives, Shangyong can be taken, and the food and military resources are willing to provide it, and the military advisor will not be a problem. However, the military advisor said that this is just a surprise soldier. After Your Majesty sent a large army, it is best to go to Jiameng Pass to attract Zhang Lu's attention..."
After hearing Xu Chu's answer, Liu Xie couldn't help but chuckled. He had thought about how to fight for the first time after taking Zhao Pang Er Ni, even Hanzhong was taken down. But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a good idea. Although Lu Su and Xu Chu were insiders in Hanzhong, they were already under the control of Zhang Lu's embankment.
Now it seems that he underestimated Lu Zijing's ability! This honest man is indeed not as honest as he looks on the surface, and he can contact someone like Shen Dan. However... thinking of this, Liu Xie asked again: "Did Military Advisor Lu say that what conditions did the Shen family put forward?"
Xu Chu nodded and said, "I mentioned it, the Shen family said that their brothers will serve as the county magistrate of Shangyong County and the county magistrate!"
"Fengxiao, what do you think?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia, who was shaking the folding fan.
Guo Jia put away the folding fan and smiled and said, "Jia didn't expect that Your Majesty had made arrangements. This is indeed a wonderful move. As for Shangyong Shen family, he... I think it's okay to promise them to become. Shangyong's land had long been taken by Jingzhou. This time he betrayed Jingzhou. If Jingzhou attacks Shangyong again, he will do his best and ask Your Majesty for help. At that time, it will not be too late for Your Majesty to send someone to take over Shangyong!"
Liu Xie thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What Fengxiao said is very true! Who should I send to lead troops to the view of Fengxiao?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Ziyi, uncle can do it! However, this battle is crucial, and those with steady temperament are the best!"
Speaking of which, Taishici is also quite impulsive, but compared to Zhang Fei, Taishici is much more stable. Although Taishici is indeed a little inferior to Zhang Fei in terms of personal force. However, when marching and fighting, and being the commander of the first army, it is not only possible to charge and rush into battle.
Liu Xie's eyes swept across the generals, and those who are impetuous in nature can be ignored, such as Zhang Fei, Xu Chu, Zhou Cang and others.
Finally, Liu Xie's eyes fell on Chen Dao. In history, Chen Dao was actually a bit incompetent to be a captain of the guards next to Liu Paopao. With Chen Dao's ability, although his personal courage is not as powerful as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is much better than the two in military training.
Unfortunately, Chen Dao's talents have not been fully utilized, just like Zhao Yun.
Maybe, I can give him a chance to show it!
In fact, the people here are either not steady enough or have insufficient prestige. Do you want it or are too proud? Like Guan Yu, this time, Liu Xie's best candidate was his, but unfortunately this guy is also smart, so he has to hit him, so he just over-thinks him.
Taishi Ci is the second candidate, and his prestige is enough, but his temperament is too straightforward. Liao Hua, Gong Zhi, Xi You, and Wei Yan are not very prestige, especially Wei Yan who just joined. Although Wei Yan had excellent combat capabilities in history, it was obvious that it was not time for him to perform.
After looking at it, there is only one Chen who can reassure Liu Xie. Calmness is his biggest feature, and training is his biggest feature.
"Chen Dao, Xu Chu, Gong Zhi, Xi You obeyed the order!"
"The last one is here!" The four of them came out and bowed to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie looked at the four people and said, "I led 5,000 troops and immediately went to Xian County to meet with the military advisor Lu Su... Chen Dao was the main general, Xu Chu was the vanguard, Gong Zhi and Xiyou were the deputy general, and Lu Su was the military advisor... Whether you can take Hanzhong in one battle depends on what you are waiting for, do you have any objections?"
"The last general will take the order and swear to recover Hanzhong to the death!"
"Very good, go and prepare! By the way, Shuzhi, when you arrive at Yufu, you can change one thousand generals Luo Yuan and his subordinates to your subordinates. The soldiers are brave and good at fighting, especially when fighting in the mountains, there is no problem with one or two. This can be proved by both Gong Zhi and Xiyou!"
"Here!"
Four people went out to order troops, and Liu Xie looked at Guan Yu, "I was quite optimistic about you this time and planned to let you lead the troops, but you actually left your post without permission, which really disappointed me. Don't you know the importance of Yu Fu? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking in your heart!" Guan Yu was a little worried, and Liu Xie paused and said, "However, in your desire to protect me, I can give you a chance to lose your merits. When you attack the city tomorrow, I hope to see you as the first to climb the city tower, do you have any objections?"
"The last general will take the order!" Guan Yu's face turned redder, and he was a little regretful.
Zhang Fei scratched his head, a little confused.
"Ziyi, Yuan Jian, you two go to the surrendered army and pick out young and strong who are both physically and persevering, and then take them with you to support Jiameng Pass. The other surrendered soldiers asked them to go home to farm..."
"Here!"
...
On the Pingdu City Tower, Zhao Wei was red-eyed, watching the Imperial Army teams coming up neatly and orderly under the city, and then began to shout and demonstrate. Cooperating with the rumbling drums and the red dragon flag that was flew in the wind, they did make their spirits constantly tense.
The soldiers who had a hint of sleepiness also forced themselves to cheer up.
But what was depressing was that the Imperial Army outside the city was just shouting and did not really attack the city. Zhao Wei was so angry that he punched the female wall and gritted his teeth.
Li Yi and Pang Le, who were following him, looked at each other and sighed in their hearts: It's over!
Indeed, they knew very well that Liu Xie was using a tired plan. But even though they were clear, they had no choice. If there was a slight mistake, who would know whether the Imperial Army would directly attack the city? By then, everything would be too late.
After Zhao Wei inspected the city tower, he went back to his yamen and prepared to take a rest.
Li Yi and Pang Le retired and left the yamen. They came to a tavern. In the wine room, Li Yi sighed, "Brother Pang, we're done!"
Pang Le glanced at Li Yi, sighed helplessly, and said, "We should be able to hold on for a while!"
Hearing this, Li Yixiang sneered and whispered: "Brother Pang, there are only you and me here, why should you continue to deceive yourself?"
Pang Le smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I don't deceive myself? The pseudo-emperor has surrounded Pingdu, but now he is surrounded but not attacking. He is using each other's military strategy to us. He clearly does not want to make a big move. He wants to wait for his work and take us down in one fell swoop!"
Li Yi said seriously: "It is precisely because of this that you and I need to find a way out. Should we really die with him here?"
"What if you follow Brother Li's plan?"
"The pseudo-emperor only wants the head of the lord, so it's better..."
"Brother Li, be careful!" Pang Le reached out and pressed his hand, listened carefully, and finally sighed: "This is not the place to speak. Brother Li would rather go to Pang to drink a pot of wine!"
"It's just right, drink some wine and take a break, haha... walk!"
