Chapter 2021 The soldiers are divided into three ways
Fa Zheng looked into the distance, pondering Liu Bei's intentions.
Yang Xiu asked: "Did Mr. Fa get the news? Who is Liu Bei regarding as the general?"
"I don't need to investigate at all and know that he will appoint Jiang Wei." Fa Zheng said: "Jiang Wei was a talent selected by Zhuge Liang back then. He has been under his position when he arrived in Yizhou. Moreover, he is really capable, so why would Zhuge Liang not recommend him?"
"Liu Bei trusts Zhuge Liang so much?" Yang Xiu said: "Aren't he worried that Zhuge Liang would be too powerful to shock the Lord and would have taken away all his power?"
"I didn't recognize people back then and thought Liu Bei was a wise master." Fa Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I really voted for him, but I realized that he didn't know how to be grateful for kindness. Most of the people who helped him had no real power, but Zhuge Liang, who didn't know what method he used, actually made Liu Bei willingly entrust the power to him."
"Zhuge Liang must have his extraordinary talents." Yang Xiu replied: "Don't think too much about Fa Gong. This time we come to Yizhou, we will just defeat Liu Bei. Except for Liu Bei's head, everything else will be handed over to the lord."
"The lord believes in me, how can I let him down?" Fa Zheng replied: "Liu Bei killed my whole family, and it was the lord who gave me the opportunity to avenge me. I have no choice but to take Yizhou as a thank-you gift!"
"If you get this thank-you gift from Mr. Fa, it will be very heavy!" Yang Xiu said with a smile: "I just left the mountain. Since the enemy has disappeared, how many drinks will happen to me tonight?"
"Is there any wine in the army?" Fa Zheng looked at Yang Xiu in surprise.
"There is not in the army, but I have it." Yang Xiu replied: "It's just that there is not much fine wine, which is not enough to get drunk. I can only taste the taste."
"If Dezu wants to drink, just go and drink." Fa Zheng said: "If you don't destroy Yizhou, I swear not to drink!"
Fa Zheng's decisive statement, Yang Xiu did not doubt his determination at all.
He bowed to Fa Zheng and bowed to Fa Zheng: "Since Fa Gong doesn't drink, I won't drink it. Keep the wine. When Fa Gong takes over Yizhou, we will add some more to the point of getting drunk!" "I and Dezu hit it off at first sight!" Fa Zheng smiled and patted Yang Xiu's arm: "Just follow Dezu, and when we seize Yizhou, we will get drunk together!"
Fa Zheng led his army out of Micang Mountain, and Liu Bei and Jiang Wei also led their troops to Langzhong.
Langzhong is located in the middle of the Jialing River, surrounded by water on three sides. The Bashan Mountains and Jianmen Mountains intersect here, respectively, moving northwest to southeast and northeast to southwest.
In addition, Langzhong's terrain is mostly distributed in a staircase shape, and it is an excellent place to defend wherever you choose.
Leading his army to Langzhong and seeing the city wall from afar, Liu Bei asked Jiang Wei: "Where is Boyue going to set up defense?"
"I plan to divide the army into three." Jiang Wei replied: "General Wang led a soldier and horse to join His Majesty into Langzhong City. I led a soldier and horse to station on Jianmen Mountain, while General Liao led another soldier to station Bashan, and handed over the Jialing River in the middle to Fazheng."
"Born with a mountain and a river and a river is dead. Bo Yue wants to force Fa Zheng to a desperate situation." After all, Liu Bei had led troops for many years, and Jiang Wei had only expressed his plan. He immediately understood the key points of such deployment.
"Your Majesty's clarification!" Jiang Wei replied: "Fa Zheng's troops are more troops than our army. If we forcefully attack, our army is not his opponent at all. The army is divided into three branches. First, they are horn-like in response to each other, and second, all three parties can send cavalry to harass the enemy. But this is really aggrieved Your Majesty."
"What can I feel wronged?" Liu Bei said: "I am in the city, and you and Liao Hua are both outside the city. In contrast, I am more stable."
"Your Majesty is in Langzhong City, and you have to eat and live in Langzhong City, but you will have to take more care of it." Jiang Wei said: "When Fa Zheng comes here, he will definitely attack with all his might to break through Langzhong City. General Liao and I are outside the city, so it is much easier. The success or failure of this battle is related to the survival of Yizhou. I have no better way to lead the army to fight the enemy by your Majesty. I will cause trouble for Your Majesty, so please forgive me!"
"I killed Fazheng's whole family. Of course, he came to take revenge to break through Langzhong." Liu Bei replied: "When I thought about personally expeditioning, I also considered that once I saw Fazheng, he might be confused. In this way, Boyue would be easy to deal with it."
Liu Bei said that he had such thoughts, and Jiang Wei hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. You must not go to the city to watch the battle unless you have to!"
"Don't worry, Boyou, I have a sense of responsibility!" Liu Bei nodded and agreed.
When they arrived outside Langzhong City, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua did not enter the city, and each led a group of people to Jianmen Mountain and Bashan.
Liu Bei entered Langzhong City under Wang Ping's escort.
Langzhong has an important geographical location and developed waterways, so many merchants come from all over the place along the waterways.
After Liu Bei entered Yizhou, he appointed Zhuge Liang as the prime minister.
Zhuge Liang has worked hard for many years and has developed in various parts of Yizhou.
Especially Langzhong, with its advantages of waterway shipping, quickly became one of the most developed places in Yizhou.
If it weren't for the news that Fa Zheng led his troops to attack Yizhou, merchants would not dare to enter Langzhong again, and the city would have been filled with noise.
When Liu Bei arrived, the magistrate of Langzhong County came to greet him with a group of officials.
After entering the city, he walked along the street with the county magistrate. Liu Bei looked around and saw that every household on the roadside was closed and the shops were not open to operate.
"If what I remember well, Langzhong should be a place where merchants gather. Why is it so depressing now?" Liu Bei asked the county magistrate.
The county magistrate lowered his head and replied quickly: "Your Majesty, Langzhong has indeed gathered merchants in the past. Whenever the market is open, men, women, young and old are out of touch. However, there has been news recently that it is leading the army to attack Yizhou. Foreign merchants dare not enter the city. The merchants in the city are also going out to avoid disaster, and most of the people have left."
"It's so good Langzhong, just because Fa Zheng is coming, it's the current situation." Liu Bei said to the county magistrate: "As a local official, you have a lot of guilt."
"Your Majesty is blamed!" After being blamed by Liu Bei, cold sweat suddenly emerged from the county magistrate's forehead.
"Since you already know that Fa is coming, are you ready to fight?" Liu Bei asked again.
The county magistrate hurriedly replied: "There are not many soldiers in the county, and although the preparations for defending the city have been made, they will not have much effect. However, I have asked people to store grain and grass for a long-term battle. Now the granary in Langzhong City is indeed full."
When a large army fights, the most important thing is food.
After hearing the county magistrate's words, Liu Bei's face suddenly improved a lot.
He asked the county magistrate: "How long will it take for the food in Langzhong to be full of food? "
