Chapter 274: Target: all of Yizhou! Zhang Fei: What? I must drink and cause trouble?!
The people of Yizhou were also stunned; Lord Liu Xuande was too strong!
Compared to Lord Liu Xuande, Liu Zhang isn't even a mountain chicken. **CHAPTER 493**
Who wouldn't want a strong and benevolent Provincial Governor? At least they wouldn't be bullied by outsiders, and they could stand tall when walking outside.
Everyone couldn't help but have other thoughts.
Liu Zhang began to send people to contact troops everywhere, telling them to close their cities and defend themselves.
Zhuti Commandery seat,
Liu Bei raised his cup.
"Gao Shun, this time you deserve the first credit for successfully conquering Zhu Bao!"
Gao Shun cupped his hands.
"Thanks to the Lord's and the military advisor's schemes. Zhu Bao had been arrogant and complacent since he defeated Liu Zhang last time. Seeing that I only had ten thousand troops and the Lord hadn't come personally, he immediately left the city to fight a decisive battle and was shot off his horse by General Huang..."
The victory was too fast; Gao Shun hadn't even reacted at the time.
Liu Bei nodded; the main general fell off his horse, and the soldiers naturally fell into chaos.
"Brother Hansheng also deserves great credit; this time we can distribute a few more maids."
Gan Ning laughed heartily, saying he could do it on his behalf!
Huang Zhong naturally roared at Gan Ning again.
Liu Bei looked at Zhuti Commandery Administrator Gong Chen.
"This time our army was able to have a place to rest, thanks to Administrator Gong."
Gong Chen quickly cupped his hands.
"General of Chariots and Cavalry, Liu Zhang is devoid of the Dao; he actually attacked the General of Chariots and Cavalry for no reason. I am just abandoning darkness for light!"
Liu Bei drank a few cups with him and encouraged him with a few words.
After the banquet, Liu Bei returned to the camp.
Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng were all present.
"Tell me, how should we take Yizhou?"
Fa Zheng cupped his hands.
"My Lord, Liu Zhang's Yizhou troops are mainly in three places: first, the fifty thousand troops in Chengdu Prefecture, led by Zhang Ren, with Wu Lan and Lei Tong leading fifteen thousand troops stationed in nearby Luo City.
Second is the Jiangzhou army, led by Yan Yan, with about twenty-five thousand troops."
"Third is Bai Shui Pass and Jiameng Pass, each with fifteen thousand troops."
"In addition, there are Leng Bao's ten thousand troops stationed in the northern part of Yuexi Commandery."
"I suggest taking Chengdu directly; once Chengdu Prefecture is taken, the other troops will inevitably surrender."
Pang Tong, however, shook his head.
"My Lord, I do not suggest taking Chengdu directly. Chengdu Prefecture is high and strong, with the famous general Zhang Ren stationed there, and Luo City to support it. Even with our elite troops, it will be difficult to break it in the short term."
"The Lord's prestige is currently high; Zhuti Commandery Administrator opened the city gates without a fight, which shows that the people of Yizhou all know the Lord's military might. Once our attack on Chengdu is unfavorable, the defending generals of other cities will inevitably have doubts."
Liu Bei nodded.
"Fa Xiaozhi and Pang Shiyuan both have reasonable points. Guo Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia paused.
"My Lord, I tend to support Pang Shiyuan's view. Yizhou is currently watching. Our army should take the important cities other than Chengdu with the speed of a thunderbolt. Liu Zhang has a weak personality and has Zhang Song as an inside agent; at that time, they will surrender without a fight."
Liu Bei smiled.
"Good, then you all work hard tonight and discuss a plan. Tomorrow I will deploy troops and generals."
Liu Bei frowned again.
"I sent Deng Zhi to visit Pang Xi, but there has been no news for several days."
Fa Zheng bowed.
"My Lord, Pang Xi's daughter is married to Liu Zhang's eldest son, Liu Xun. Although he has many disagreements with Liu Zhang, he might still be watching from the sidelines."
Liu Bei nodded.
"Pang Xi has nearly thirty thousand troops in his hands. We must prevent him from having other ideas. Send scouts to closely monitor the movements of his army."
"Understood!"
Liu Bei left the three to stay up all night researching the plan. He returned to the tent, and Miss Zhu Rong helped him take off his coat.
"Husband, you've worked hard."
Liu Bei pulled Miss Zhu Rong into his arms and pinched her chin.
"My lady has also worked hard."
Miss Zhu Rong looked at him with a thousand charms, the meaning self-evident.
Early the next morning, Liu Bei looked at the three's plan and began to point out troops.
"Zhang Fei, Gan Ning!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I order you two to lead fifteen thousand troops, gather the troops of Wu Yi and Li Hui, and head toward Jiangzhou. You must take Jiangzhou!"
"Understood!"
Liu Bei also gave instructions.
"Yan Yan has a great influence among the Yizhou soldiers; you must persuade him to surrender."
"Zhang Fei, you are the main general this time; you must drink and cause trouble!"
Zhang Fei??
He looked dazed.
"Big Brother, did you say that wrong?"
Liu Bei smiled.
"Jiangzhou City is surrounded by two rivers and is easy to defend and hard to attack. A frontal attack will inevitably be difficult to win. Your personality is irritable; at that time, you will definitely drink to relieve your boredom, and when you are drunk, you will cause trouble."
Everyone laughed heartily.
Zhang Fei didn't feel well.
"Big Brother, you already know, so why send me to attack Jiangzhou City?"
Liu Bei continued,
"Yan Yan is a veteran general in the army. Seeing such a good opportunity, how could he let it go? He will inevitably come to raid the camp at night. At that time..."
Zhang Fei's eyes widened after hearing this, and he slapped his leg violently.
"Big Brother, you really have a thousand schemes; you even calculated my drunken trouble-making!"
Liu Bei smiled.
"Zhang Yide, I told you to study more military strategy. Those who are good at fighting lead others and are not led by others. If you lure Yan Yan out of Jiangzhou City, you will win even if you don't want to."
Zhang Fei said carelessly,
"Isn't it just acting as myself? Big Brother, rest assured, I will definitely lure Yan Yan out!"
Liu Bei nodded; Zhang Fei was rough but had a fine side, so this should be done well!
"I'll give you three thousand Rattan Armor soldiers; you must use them at the critical moment!"
"After taking Jiangzhou, you lead the troops north along the Fu River, go through Guanghan and Mianzhu, and approach Chengdu."
"Understood!"
Miss Zhu Rong sighed.
"My husband is indeed full of wisdom; no wonder he can win every battle."
The livestream barrage also increased.
"Brother Bei has so many schemes; Yan Yan's beard is already gray, and he still has to be tricked by these two brothers."
"I believe in Brother Fei; he'll perform naturally and must act well!"
"Miss Zhu Rong's eyes are shining; there will inevitably be another great battle!"
Liu Bei said again,
"Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, you lead the main force north along the Min River, occupy Yufu Ford and Wuyang, and attack Guangdu near Chengdu."
"Understood!"
"Dailai and the other cave masters will also go together."
"Understood!"
"Wang Ping, you lead three thousand troops to guard Zhuti Commandery and ensure our army's grain route." **CHAPTER 494**
