The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 371 Peace Talk
Chapter 380 Three Peace Talks

As Chen Ziming expected, under Yan Pu's plan, Zhang Lu directly dispatched [-] troops from Nanzheng to reinforce Chenggu. defense.

Given the danger of the city, it would be a foolish dream for [-] soldiers to take down the city guarded by [-] soldiers, and the most important thing is that in order to relieve this crisis, Zhang Lu, under Yan Pu's suggestion, led his troops to attack the city. Going to Chenggu in person to sit in the town, the morale of Hanzhong soldiers and horses soared, and there were more Wudou Mijiao believers in Chenggu, Zhang Lu shouted, and countless young and strong joined the defense of the city.

Finally, Zhang Lu dispatched Junshan and Brazilian soldiers to come to reinforce Chenggu with great fanfare, as if he wanted to leave Cao Hong outside Chenggu.

Seeing this, Cao Hong sent troops to tentatively attack Chenggu City several times, and decisively led the army to withdraw from Hanzhong. As a general in charge of the army, he still has this right. After all, he must ensure the safety of his own troops. Reward him, not punish him.

As soon as Cao Hong retreated, Zhang Lu immediately ordered the soldiers from all walks of life to retreat and garrison. After all, in Zhang Lu's view, Cao Cao and Chen Ziming were the biggest threats in Hanzhong.

As for the direction of the Han River, with this lesson learned, how could it be possible not to take precautions? Zhang Lu not only built a few simple checkpoints on the Han River, but also left [-] soldiers and horses to garrison Chenggu, even if it was [-] troops. The army is coming, and it is impossible to take down the city easily.

"My lord, Chen Ziming personally sits in Liangzhou. Apart from involving Cao Cao, he is likely to come here for Hanzhong." After Cao Hong's troops retreated, Zhang Lu called everyone to discuss and decided to strengthen Hanzhong's defense. Adviser, Yan Pu spoke first: "Now both Liu Bei and Cao Cao have set their sights on Hanzhong, and my lord has enmity with Liu Zhang. Now Hanzhong is surrounded by enemies."

"My lord." Yang Ren, the No. 1 general in the Hanzhong military, came out and said, "There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Hanzhong, and the people in Hanzhong are all believers in the Five Dou Rice Religion. As long as the lord shouts out, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Hanzhong will be defeated." The letter will fight for the Lord."

"Of course!" Yang Song is very good at finding opportunities, and is good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Zhang Lu did not intend to surrender, he immediately stepped out and said bravely and loyally: "My lord has won the hearts of the people in Hanzhong, and he is the king of Hanzhong. Back then, the ancestors of the Han Dynasty fought here, and finally won the world of the Han Dynasty. This is the land of Longxing. The Lord has this place now. .”

"My lord." Yan Pu didn't care about Yang Song at all. After Yang Song boasted about it, he didn't give Zhang Lu time to be complacent, and immediately came out and said, "Yizhou Liu Zhang is nothing to be afraid of. It only takes a general to stop him. But Cao Cao and Chen Ziming must be guarded, their strength is far above Hanzhong, if they gather troops to attack, Hanzhong may be in danger."

Zhang Lu was not fooled by Yang Song's clever words, and immediately asked Yan Pu for countermeasures.

"There are many checkpoints in Hanzhong, so we can divide our troops to guard them." Yan Pu hurriedly said the solution he had thought up a long time ago: "Cao Cao and Chen Ziming are not in harmony, and the two are restraining each other. As long as the two sides do not break the balance, Hanzhong will have no worries."

"The lord should gather the young and strong of Hanzhong, form a new army, and strengthen the strength of Hanzhong, so that it can be used in emergencies..."

When Zhang Lu was arranging the defense of Hanzhong, Chen Ziming found Jia Xu, because he really couldn't think of any good excuse to attack Yizhou. After all, if the general excuse is too bad, if it can't deceive Zhang Lu, it will have no effect.

"It's difficult." Jia Xu also frowned and thought hard. Attacking Yizhou is not a trivial matter. After all, Yizhou is Liu Zhang's local strength. Once it is touched here, it will mark the official break between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and the two countries will go to war.

This righteousness must be justified, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to Liu Bei. After all, Liu Bei and Liu Zhang are both clan relatives of the Han Dynasty in name, and their emperors are not so legitimate.

"It's better to ask the emperor to issue an edict directly..." In the end, the only way Jia Xu could think of was this, which was to let Liu Bei issue an edict to the world in the name of the Son of Heaven to crusade against Liu Zhang.

But in this way, there will be a full-scale war between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and there will be no room for relaxation, and everything will be put on the bright side.

Chen Ziming only nodded in agreement, and immediately wrote a letter to Liu Bei, specifically to plan a strategy for Hanzhong, and at the same time attack Yizhou, so that Zhang Lu believed that Chen Ziming was really attacking Yizhou, which was the key to the whole plan.

It was half a month after Liu Bei received Chen Ziming's letter. After Liu Bei read it, he immediately called Guo Jia and Chen Gong to discuss it.Both of them thought this plan was the best way.

"Hey, defection at the same time, the world is in chaos..." Liu Beiyou began to show off his benevolent king.

"Your Majesty, at this time we still need to make a long-term plan." Chen Gong said: "You can't break with the Shu Han immediately, but taking it slowly is the best policy."

"Of course." Guo Jia also said: "The breakup between the big Han and the Shu Han is a foregone conclusion, but whoever speaks first can make a plan." Whoever speaks first will be charged with defecting at the same time. Prestige has a great influence, so Chen Gong and Guo Jia didn't want Liu Bei to speak first.

"What should we do at this time?" Liu Bei didn't want to be accused of defecting at the same time, after all, in this world, there is still a benevolent and righteous one.

"This matter is easy." Guo Jia said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty can send people to Chengdu to discuss with Liu Zhang the matter of merging the two countries into one..."

"Very good..." Guo Jia finished the whole plan, and Liu Bei and Chen Gong were happy. If Guo Jia's plan was followed, it was really possible for Liu Zhang to announce his break with Liu Bei first.

Immediately, Liu Bei came to Jian Yong for a secret talk. For such a big event, a person with sufficient status and prestige must be dispatched. Jian Yong is not only Liu Bei's friend, but also the first batch of heroes who followed Liu Bei to fight the country.

Jian Yong is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Liu Bei Group, both status and prestige are sufficient, and it can also show that Liu Bei attaches great importance to this matter. The most important thing is that Jian Yong is capable and loyal enough.

As Jian Yong led the mission out of Linzi, a piece of news spread throughout the world, that is, Liu Bei was preparing to negotiate peace with Liu Zhang to end the division of the Han Dynasty in a peaceful way, and the mission of the plenipotentiary Liu Bei had already set off.

"It's absolutely impossible..." After Cao Cao received the news, he said resolutely: "How could Liu Da'er do such a useless feat? He should have other plans and order the Zhuowei to closely monitor the movements of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses. "

But Sun Quan, who was far away in Jiaozhou, after reading the news, threw it aside, not even interested in expressing his opinion. In his opinion, to rule the world in this way is simply like a child playing house to coax the people.
