Chapter 493

Who doesn't want a strong and benevolent Governor? At least they won't be bullied by outsiders, and they can stand tall when they go out.

Everyone couldn't help but have other thoughts.

Liu Zhang began to send people to contact troops everywhere, letting them close the cities and defend themselves.

Zhuti Commandery seat,

Liu Bei raised his glass,

"Gao Shun, this time you were able to successfully conquer Zhu Bao; you should hold the foremost merit!"

Gao Shun cupped his hands,

"Thanks to the lord's and the military advisor's strategy, Zhu Bao has been arrogant and complacent since he defeated Liu Zhang last time. Seeing that I only had ten thousand troops and it wasn't the lord who came personally, he immediately left the city to fight a decisive battle and was shot off his horse by General Huang..."

It was won too quickly; Gao Shun didn't react at the time.

Liu Bei nodded; the main general fell off his horse, and the soldiers naturally fell into chaos,

"Hansheng also has great merit; this time he can distribute a few more female slaves."

Gan Ning laughed loudly, indicating that he could do it for him!

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 hurriedly cupped his hands,

"General of Cavalry, Liu Zhang is without the Way, actually attacking the General of Cavalry for no reason. I am just abandoning darkness for light!"

Liu Bei drank a few cups with him and encouraged him a few words.

After the banquet, Liu Bei returned to the military camp,

Guo Jia, Pang Tong, and Fa Zheng were all in the ranks,

"You tell me, how should we take Yizhou?"

Fa Zheng cupped his hands,

"My lord, now Liu Zhang's Yizhou troops are mainly in three places. One is the fifty thousand troops in Chengdu Prefecture, led by Zhang Ren, with Wu Lan and Lei Tong leading fifteen thousand troops stationed in the nearby Luo City.

The second is the Jiangzhou troops, led by Yan Yan, with about twenty-five thousand troops."

"The third is Baishui 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, and there is a famous general Zhang Ren stationed there, and there is Luo City to support it. Even if our army is elite, it is difficult to break it in the short term."

"My lord's prestige is very high now; the Zhuti Commandery Administrator opened the city gate without a fight, which shows that the people of Yizhou all know the military power of the lord. Once our army attacks Chengdu unfavorably, the defending generals of other cities will inevitably have doubts."

Liu Bei nodded,

"Xiaozhi and Shiyuan both have their points. Fengxiao, what do you think?"

Guo Jia paused,

"My lord, I tend to support Shiyuan's view. Now Yizhou is watching. Our army should take 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 work hard tonight and discuss a plan. Tomorrow I will mobilize troops and send 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, Lady Pang, is married to Liu Zhang's eldest son, Liu Xun, as his wife. Although he has many disagreements with Liu Zhang, he may still be watching now."

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 great army."

"Yes!"

Liu Bei left the three to study the plan overnight. 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 amorous feelings, and the meaning was self-evident.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei looked at the three people's plans and began to mobilize 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 advance toward Jiangzhou. You must take Jiangzhou!"

"Yes!"

Liu Bei also gave instructions,

"Yan Yan has 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 make trouble!"

Zhang Fei??

He looked dull,

"Big brother, did you say it wrong?"

Liu Bei smiled,

"Jiangzhou City is surrounded by two rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack. A frontal attack will inevitably be difficult to take. Your personality is irritable, and at that time you will definitely drink to relieve boredom. If you are drunk, you will make trouble."

Everyone laughed loudly.

Zhang Fei felt miserable,

"Big brother, you already knew, so why did you still send me to attack Jiangzhou City?"

Liu Bei continued,

"Yan Yan is an old 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 listening, and he slapped his leg hard,

"Big brother, you really have a thousand heart-eyes; you even calculated my drunken trouble-making!"

Liu Bei smiled,

"Yide, I told you to study military strategy more. Those who are good at fighting lead others and are not led by others. If you lure Yan Yan out of Jiangzhou City, it will be hard for you not to win."

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 is rough but has fine points, so this should be done well!

"I will 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, walk through Guanghan and Mianzhu, and approach Chengdu."

"Yes!"

Miss Zhu Rong sighed with emotion,

"My husband is indeed full of wisdom; no wonder he can win every battle."

The broadcast room's barrage also increased,

"Brother Bei's heart-eyes are really many; Yan Yan's beard is white, and he still has to be pitted by these two brothers."

"I believe in Brother Fei; he will perform in his true colors 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 take the main force along the Min River, occupy Yufu Ford and Wuyang, and attack Guangdu near Chengdu."

"Yes!"

"Dai Lai and other cave masters will also go together."

"Yes!"

"Wang Ping, you lead three thousand troops to guard Zhuti Commandery and ensure our army's grain road."
