The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Although Yizhou has high mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, however, Yizhou is not monolithic.

Zhang Lu killed Zhang Gu, the governor of Hanzhong, and separatized Hanzhong.

But Liu Zhang was weak and could not recapture Hanzhong in a short time.

Now Han Sui used the territory of the Di people to enter Yizhou.

Both Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu wanted to win over Han Sui.

Although Han Sui temporarily attached himself to Zhang Lu for money and food, Han Sui did not want to be subordinate to others.

However, Zhang Lu controlled dangerous places such as Yangping Pass. Without Zhang Lu's permission, it was wishful thinking for Han Sui to go deeper into Yizhou.

Therefore, Han Sui could not collude with Liu Zhang to get rid of Zhang Lu, so he could only set aside the city for Han Sui to rest and recuperate.

The news that Zhou Cheng sent troops to attack Hanzhong still reached Chengdu.

When Liu Zhang learned that Zhou Cheng had raised troops to attack Hanzhong, he felt a little scared and panicked.

Zhou Cheng dominated the north and was invincible in all battles and invincible in all attacks.

Even Yuan Shao, the fourth and third prince, and Gongsun Zan approaching on a white horse, were no match for Zhou Cheng.

And Zhou Cheng's military flag still bears the heads of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

If Zhou Cheng really attacks Yizhou, Yizhou will be in great danger.

Just when Liu Zhang was feeling uneasy, Pang Le, Li Yi and others walked in one after another.

Pang Le and Li Yi were Zhao Shi's subordinates. After Zhao Shi rebelled, they were killed by Pang Le and Li Yi.

Later, Pang Le and Li Yi took refuge with Liu Zhang.

In recent years, due to the melee in the north and the Central Plains, the population has moved westward. Therefore, Yizhou is full of talents.

Not only that, Zhang Xiu also led his army to surrender to Liu Zhang.

The generals under Liu Zhang's command now include not only Pang Le, Li Yi, Pang Xi and other veteran generals left to him by Liu Yan, but also generals such as Meng Da, Lingbao, Liu Wei, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Yan Yan, Huang Quan and others..

As for counselors, there are also Fazheng, who is good at scheming, as well as Huang Quan, Fei Guan and others.

At this time, Huang Quan stood up and said:"My lord, although the Zhou army has sent 50,000 troops, it is difficult for the Zhou army to defeat Hanzhong with Han Wenyue and Zhang Gongqi guarding it."

Although Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang were at odds, in name only, Liu Zhang He is the master of Yizhou.

And Zhang Lu was just the governor of Hanzhong.

Fazheng also stood up and said:"My lord, this is a God-given opportunity. If my lord takes advantage of the situation and sends troops to capture Yangping Pass, we can connect with Hanwen."

Han Sui once sent an envoy to join Liu Zhang.

However, because Yang Ping was in the hands of Zhang Lu, the contact between Liu Zhang and Han Sui was interrupted.

At this time, Zhang Song stood up and said:"My lord, you must not do it. The Zhou army is powerful. If we let it take advantage of the situation to attack Hanzhong, Yizhou will be in danger!"

Liu Zhang's"weakness" is not just a rumor.

In fact, Liu Zhang was indeed not aggressive enough. If he was determined to seize the world, he could use the foundation left by Liu Yan to attack Jingzhou in the south, attack Liangzhou and Yongzhou in the north, and participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world.

However, Liu Zhang only wanted to be the king of Yizhou.

Even if Zhang Lu separatist Hanzhong, Liu Zhang did not actively attack.

At this time, Zhang Song's words were in line with Liu Zhang's thoughts.

Liu Zhang said:"What Zi Qiao said is reasonable. There is no rush to recapture Hanzhong. The top priority is to resist the Zhou thieves from going south."

Fazheng sighed softly, and then stopped talking.

Fazheng is good at conspiracies. In his opinion, the success rate of this surprise attack on Yangping Pass is very high.

However, Liu Zhang would not accept it.

Liu Zhang is too cowardly

……

At the same time, Zhang Lu in Nanzheng was furious because of Yang Bai's defeat.

Twenty thousand troops and horses were beaten by thousands of Zhou troops, leaving behind their helmets and armor and fleeing in disgrace.

At this time, Yan Pu said to Zhang Lu:"My lord, the leader of Zhou's army is no ordinary person, so he should be treated with caution." He was tricked by Sima Yi, and he easily captured Caiyang, but was defeated by another 20,000 troops.

This is indeed no ordinary person.

Zhang Lu asked:"How should we deal with it?"

Yan Pu replied:"My lord, you can ask Han Wenyue to lead the army to help in the battle.""

"Well, that's doable."

Subsequently, Zhang Lu sent an order to Han Sui to send cavalry to aid Caiyang.

At the same time, Zhang Lu ordered his younger brother Zhang Wei, as well as generals Yang Ren, Yang Ang and others to guard the city and passes.

Yan Pu added:" Lord, we need to strengthen the defense of Yangping Pass."

Yan Pu is a far-sighted man.

In history, one day, a farmer got a jade seal from the field, and Zhang Lu's men wanted him to be the King of Hanning.

However, Yan Pu persuaded Zhang Lu that he was interested in Zhang Lu. Lu said: There are more than 100,000 households in Hanzhong. The plains of Hanzhong are fertile and surrounded by mountains. First, they can assist the emperor, just like Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin. Second, they can become rich and powerful by imitating Dou Rong.

Zhang Lu obeyed Yan Pu's advice. Later, after Zhang Lu's defeat, Yan Pu persuaded him not to surrender to Cao Cao in a hurry. He first went to Bazhong to defend Cao Cao, and then surrendered to Cao Cao. Later, he helped Zhang Lu obtain the fiefdom of ten thousand households.

Sure enough, Zhang Lu He did it again.

For Zhang Lu, he didn’t need too many counselors, just one who could come up with ideas was enough.

Of course, Zhang Lu had more than one counselor.

Yang Bai’s brother Yang Song was also Zhang Lu’s counselor.

Yang Song knew that Zhang Lu Lu followed Yan Pu's strategy.

However, Yang Song could not be reused under Zhang Lu. Therefore, Yang Song wanted to use the Zhou army to attack Hanzhong to change the status quo.
