Jiangguan was captured by Liu Qi's army, and the Jingzhou army's flag was erected at the pass. The main general Sima Zhuoying died in battle. The gateway to Shu was once again opened by the Jingzhou army.

After Liu Qi's troops entered Jiangguan, he immediately sent an order to allow the army behind to start moving west from Jingzhou to enter Jiangguan.

A few days later, another 20,000 Jingzhou troops entered Jiangguan, and 30,000 troops arrived together, preparing to launch a strategic battle in Yizhou.

Liu Qi held a military meeting at Jiangguan to discuss the next step with everyone.

It was Man Chong's first time to join the army to fight, and he was more active than others. He provided Liu Qi with a strategy plan.

"The current mood of the king is to quickly conquer Mianzhu and pacify Yizhou to avoid any loss in Jingzhou in the rear. However, in the opinion of Chong, it is still a meticulous job to conquer Yizhou and not to be too hasty, otherwise it will be easy to backfire. It is better not to come."

Liu Qi listened carefully: "I hope to hear it carefully."

Man Chong stood up and paced in the hall, saying, "Liu Zhang had just inherited the position of Liu Yan, so he killed his brother. In addition, Liu Yan's actions in Shu in recent years, their father and son are not popular at the moment. The emperor ordered the emperor to be the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Yizhou, and he was of great righteousness. When he entered Shu, he would fight while promoting kindness and benevolence and compassionate the hearts of the people of Shu."

Xu Shu bowed and said, "Mr. Boning said this very much. The characters in Shu are complex. Not only Han people, but also many Tu people, as well as strong people like Qing Qiang. If you cannot win the hearts of Shu people when you enter Shu, even if you take over Yizhou, it will be even more difficult to manage in the future."

Liu Qi nodded seriously: "The one who wins the hearts of the people is Dezhou County, not to mention that Liu Zhang is not the only one who competes with me for Yizhou this time... including Jia Long and Ren Qi, representatives of the Shu family, if I destroy Liu Zhang, I am afraid that these people will not willingly surrender to me and win people's hearts."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi turned to Zhang Yun and said, "Brother, do me a favor."

Zhang Yun hurriedly said, "Please give me instructions!"

"Send someone to Jingzhou and invite Zhang Lu and Mrs. Lu to come to Jiangguan."

Zhang Yun didn't react at first, and didn't know what Liu Qi was thinking about Mrs. Lu at this time...

But then, he suddenly realized.

Liu Qi wanted to use the Tianshi Teaching to make himself famous in Shu!

Since Zhang Ling, the Tianshi Sect has been preaching in Shu for three generations, and its believers have spread throughout Hanzhong, Guanghan, Shu County and other places.

Mrs. Lu and Zhang Lu reached an agreement with Liu Qi to preach in Jingzhou, but their base camp was moved, which did not mean that their prestige had decreased in Shu.

Looking at Shu, among every five households, there must be a believer of the Tianshi Sect. What a huge base.

It takes time to use kindness to win over the hearts of the Shu people little by little, but if the Tianshi taught the prophecies and divination methods to help Liu Qi become famous among the people...

Nowadays, Qimin and Qianshou still believe in these gods and ghosts.

"Don't worry, Lord, I will send someone to invite Master Zhang and his son to Sichuan immediately."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Man Chong again and asked, "Dare you ask Mr. Boning, in addition to attacking the hearts of the people in Shu, what do you think of this strategy of advancing?"

Man Chong bowed and said, "There are many passes in Shu, and the warehouses are hidden tightly. If there is insufficient information, it is very difficult to advance. However, the general strategy has been thought about."

"Tell me, look."

"First determine Jiangzhou... Jiangzhou is the capital of Ba County. It has been built for a thousand years. At the same time, it is also the intersection of Ba County, Guanghan and Jianwei counties. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Jiangzhou can be conquered and used as a base, we can be invincible in Yizhou."

"Jiangzhou..." Liu Qi murmured silently in his heart: "It should be Chongqing in later generations."

Although Liu Qi had never been to Jiangzhou in this life, in his previous life, he had been to Chongqing. The mountainous landforms of Chongqing gave Liu Qi a very deep impression at that time.

An extremely spectacular city, with two rivers and one mountain, majestic.

If I remember correctly, Chongqing was the only city in Liu Qi's later generations that he could not understand using Baidu Maps.

The construction pattern of mountain cities is different from that of ordinary cities, and is unique throughout China.

Until now, Liu Qi could imagine how difficult it would be to fight in Jiangzhou.

But just as Man Chong said, no matter how hard it is to fight, you have to fight.

If Jiangzhou is conquered, you will be invincible.

"Yuanzhi, quickly send your guards to carefully investigate the situation in Jiangzhou... and don't let go of any details in all aspects."

"promise."

"What if I take down Jiangzhou?"

Man Chong said, "The last official believes that after taking down Jiangzhou, the king and the prince can use Jiangzhou as a position in Shuzhong, divide the troops into three groups, and go south to Jiangyang and Zizhong.

"The second route goes north to attack Brazil. There are many barbarians and Qiang people in Brazil. If they can gather these people, they may be used as a reserve force to supplement military strength. The third route continues to face Deyang and put pressure on Liu Zhang."

"Does the troops divide into three groups to eat into Shu?" Liu Qi nodded suddenly and said, "But we only have 30,000 troops. If we divide the troops like this, it will be easy to be defeated by people."

Man Chong said: "So, the candidate for the main general of the division of troops must be considered properly."

"Boning is indeed a person with a college knowledge, and this move is all at the critical point." Liu Qi praised Man Chong with a smile.

At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly spoke: "Junhou, although Mr. Boning has a good strategy, we must send troops quickly and step up our actions."

“Why?”

Xu Shu said, "If we follow Mr. Boning's opinion, we divide our troops into three groups. First of all, the one who attacks Brazil from north will inevitably have conflicts with Jia Long... because he also entered Shu from Hanzhong. Junhou wanted to seize Brazil, and Jia Long probably wanted it too... As for the one who went south to Jiangyang... Will Ren Qi from Jianwei County sit and watch Junhou eat his territory?"

The smile on Liu Qi's face disappeared, and instead he was a serious face.

"Jia Long, Ren Qi... If these great masters in Shu are willing to surrender, if they have other thoughts..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi gently tapped the table, his expression on his face was a little cold: "Then don't blame me for being rude. This man's city has a surname of Liu... it's not their surname Jia or Ren!"

After saying that, Liu Qi turned to Taishi Ci and said, "Ziyi, tell the military lieutenants that after three days of rest, no matter whether the information from Jiangzhou has arrived or not, the entire army will set off to attack Jiangzhou. No matter how difficult it is to attack, it must conquer Jiangzhou!"

"only!"

...

The news that Liu Qi captured Jiang Pass was soon spread to Mianzhu.

After Liu Zhang learned the news, his face changed on the spot and he panickedly dropped the pen in his hand on the ground.

He hurriedly sent someone to summon his generals and civil servants to discuss the way to retreat to Liu Qi.

"Everyone, Liu Qi broke the Jiang Pass! He led his troops into Shu. The situation is very dangerous. My second brother fled in a hurry and was taken over by Ren Qi. The matter has not been resolved yet. Now Liu Qi is coming to Shu again... What should I do? What should I do!"

Liu Zhang's panic made everyone present shook his head and sigh in his heart.

Although Liu Qi's entry into Sichuan was a big deal, he was so disobedient in front of so many subordinates... Liu Zhang was still far behind his father.

Especially Mianzhu Ling Zhang Song, looking at Liu Zhang's appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head.
