Chapter 701 First Battle Nishikawa
At the meeting, Guo Si suddenly stood up and made his own remarks, which made the kings look at him.
Although Liu Zhang didn't know what Guo Si was trying to do, he was very nervous at this moment. He wanted to secretly raise his hand and pull Guo Si's sleeve to let him sit down, but he was afraid that someone who had nothing to do was see, so he had to lower his head and pretend to be deaf and mute without saying a word.
Meng Huo stared at Guo Si for a while, and suddenly said, "Although Liu Zhang was the one who brought the cave owner, he was a Han person after all. Now we and the kings are discussing to seize the land of the Han people in Xichuan. With the identity of you and others, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the audience?" After saying that, it seemed that he was trying to chase people.
Guo Si had no strange face, but still maintained the usual prodigal smile, saying, "Don't be suspicious. The Han people and the barbarians' battle for Xichuan have nothing to do with my Liu Yizhou, but Liu Bei is the enemy who robs my lord of the back cover. This hatred is irreconcilable! In this regard, my lord and the kings should stand in the same camp on this matter. Although their ideas are different, but their goals are the same, why should we force each other to separate each other?"
Meng Huo was stunned when he heard this.
Zhu Jiao, the Huoshen Cave, touched his beard and nodded, "Mr. Guo Si's words are right, not to mention that the opinions he just made are very consistent with our current situation. There are many kings here. If a leader is not selected... or the leader of the alliance, he will really not be able to compete with the soldiers and horses in Sichuan! What do you think?"
Dear Kings, look at me, look at you, and nodded in agreement.
But if you agree, who should this leader choose?
First, Wu Tugu stood up first and said, "King Meng is the youngest among all the kings, and he is a young hero. He is also brave and powerful. I chose King Meng as the leader!"
The master of the cave brought the cave, but said, "The Lord of the Fire God Zhu Lao Cave is mature and steadfast, and his prestige has been stationed in Nanzhong for more than 20 years. It is deeply rooted. I chose the Lord of the Dark Cave as the leader of the alliance!"
King Mulu: "The King Wutu Bone is the number one warrior in the Southern Barbarians. He has a strong rivalry and no one can beat him. I think he is the most suitable!"
“…………”
“…………”
The kings chirped, and they said a word and said nothing, but they didn't finalize a specific candidate. In the end, King Duosi was worthy of being a wise man. He said, "Dear Kings, according to my opinion, Liu Yizhou is a guest living in the south. If he does not interfere with the interests of my tribes, his words are more objective and fair. Why don't you listen to his opinions?"
When Liu Zhang heard this, he was startled, but quietly looked at Guo Si beside him. Guo Si shook his eyes at him, and then nodded in encouragement.
Liu Zhang seemed to have gained strength in an instant, and he mustered up the courage to recite the good words he had and Guo Si before he came.
"Everyone, please judge it by Zhang. The position of the leader of the alliance cannot be judged by courage or age. It should be known that Zhang and the master of Zhu Lao Cave of Huoshen Cave have a deep friendship. With reason, they should recommend Zhu Lao Cave, but it is related to Nanzhong Jiye. Liu Zhang should not abolish the public for personal gain. Although Zhu Lao Cave Master is highly respected, he is already very old and is not as good as a young man in terms of courage and spirit. As we all know, the barbarian king Meng Huo is young and has great majesty, and is also very wise and brave, and is very powerful, and is very powerful. He is also the best candidate for the leader! Although Liu Zhang has some scourges with him, he has to be judged by his official duties. The position of the leader is really the King Meng."
After saying this, everyone was shocked. The kings never expected that Liu Zhang not only did not recommend Zhu Jiao and the master of the cave with great relationship with him, but instead recommended Meng Huo, who was opposite to him, and also spoke very well, and was entirely for the sake of the overall situation. He was truly broad-minded.
I don’t know who took the lead, but everyone actually applauded Liu Zhang.
In the end, Meng Huo became the leader of the alliance and was responsible for leading the tribes to attack Xichuan together.
After the meeting, Liu Zhang and Guo Si returned to the camp together. On the way, Liu Zhang asked Guo Si in a low voice.
"Sir, you have always said that if you want to support me as the lord of the Southern Central Committee, Meng Huo will definitely be the biggest enemy and must be pulled out! But today you asked me to recommend him as the leader of the alliance and establish his prestige. Why is that?"
Guo Si smiled and said, "Liu Yizhou, you are a honest person. You don't know the mystery of this. All the clans all take interests first. On the surface, the leader of the alliance is of great prestige and has a high prestige, but in fact it is a thankless chore... Since he is the leader of the alliance, he should strive for the first place in everything, and it is very intensive. In other words, whether it is the source of troops sent or the food and fodder, Meng Huo, as the leader of the alliance, has to take the most. If he doesn't take the most, he will be hostile to the kings. This is one of them...
Second, when the prefectures and counties were divided, Meng Huo, as the leader of the alliance, must be properly distributed. If his distribution is uneven, he will inevitably be hostile to the kings. This is the second. Third, Meng Huo, as the leader of the alliance, if he has selfish intentions and is known to the kings, he will inevitably be hostile to the kings. Hehe, if you want to be the leader, you must have corresponding means and weighing strategies. Unfortunately, Meng Huo does not have the ability. This leader will not only weaken his strength, but also weaken his prestige. You should be optimistic."
When Liu Zhang heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the sir asked me to give him a disgusting errand? Unfortunately, Meng Huo didn't expect this critical level and thank me."
Guo Si said: "It's not just Meng Huo. Today's words have greatly improved the kings' impression of Liu Yizhou. At least from the passionate and putting themselves in their shoes, they will no longer regard you as an outsider."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but raise a thumb and said, "Just choose a leader, there are so many words. Sir is really an ordinary person."
On the other side of Nanzhong, Jinluo was inciting, and on the other side of Xichuan, Yongliang's army had already rushed in under the command of Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun sent three vanguard troops, leading general Hao Zhao to lead 50,000 elite troops straight out of the Xigu, built roads across mountains, and built bridges across water. Zhang Xiu also sent him to lead 50,000 elite troops out of Luogu, repair bridges, and drill mountains and break stones. General Wang Ping led 50,000 elite troops out of Ziwu Valley. Zhao Yun and the other generals followed closely and rushed to Hanzhong at night.
Zhao Yun has only one general, that is, the soldiers are very fast and must stop!
The army showed its edge and headed straight for Yangping Pass.
At this time, Pang Tong, Wei Yan and others had not arrived yet. The famous general in Shu was guarding Yangping Pass, Huo Jun, who was the best general under Liu Bei's tent to guard the pass.
Huo Jun was a relatively outstanding person in the Battle of Hanzhong back then, but he often coughed at that time and his physical condition was not very good. Now he is getting worse and worse. He is already lying on the bed to recuperate. But at first glance, the Northern Army came, but Huo Jun did not dare to rest. He hurriedly stood up, and while dispatching troops, he quickly sent troops to the rear to urge reinforcements.
The three vanguard troops cleared the obstacles and arrived straight to Yangping Pass. Zhang Xiu rode his horse to the bottom of the pass. He vaguely saw Huo Jun personally guarding the pass, and shouted: "Listen to the thief general at the pass, I am Zhang Xiu, the king of the northern gun! When the commander of the Grand Commander, he promoted the heavenly soldiers to attack Shu, and those who knew the emperor quickly surrendered early and each of them was recruited according to their original positions. If they were stubborn and broke the pass, they would not leave any one!"
Huo Jun coughed, sneered, and did not answer, but just asked the crossbowman to shoot arrows.
Seeing that Huo Jun ignored him, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but lose face. He then went back to the formation to discuss with Wang Ping and Hao Zhao, and discussed plans to seize the pass.
Hao Zhao laughed and said, "The General knew that the Shu Road is difficult to conquer, especially the majestic passes such as Yangping and Jiange. It will be easy to obtain them without how long it takes for the troops to be easily obtained. Therefore, he allocated all the magical weapons and weapons that Ma Jun urged over the years to conquer Western Shu. Now that the weapons have not arrived, it is not easy to attack. I will wait for a few days to have a crossbow and the Sky-Booming Stone Cart arrives, and let Huo Jun know that he is powerful."
Zhang Xiu snorted when he heard this and said, "Well, even if it's a cheap guy Huo Jun!"
The three vanguard troops had reached Yangping Pass. Zhao Yun and other troops had not arrived in the rear. On the way, Jia Xu was reluctant to follow Zhao Yun. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but Yuan Shang asked him to follow Zhao Yun to fight the west, which made Jia Xu very unhappy.
Along the way, I saw people constantly sending messages to Zhao Yun with flying pigeons. Jia Xu couldn't help but be curious. Finally, one time he couldn't bear it and said, "This battle has not been fought yet. What information do you always use pigeon whistle to convey? But what's the point?"
Zhao Yun did not hide it from Jia Xu and said, "It's not for anything, it's for one person."
"one person?"
"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded and said, "In Hanzhong, there was a man who was defeated repeatedly, and he fought repeatedly, and even caused a downfall when his army captured and released. This man was the son of the Lord Public Power who was intended to lay out in Sichuan. Now he doesn't know if it is useless?"
Jia Xu's eyes turned, and he became interested and said, "Who?"
"Wei Yan." (To be continued)
