Chapter 423 Zhang Wei Persuades
Zhang Lu has stayed in Guanghan County for so many years, so there are some aristocratic families who are very friendly.
In fact, for more than half a year, Zhang Lu probably knew the situation in Guanghan County, because every county had his eyeliner.
Why Zhang Lu was able to borrow so many soldiers and horses was simply because he knew about Liu Zhang's large-scale military expansion.
"Second brother, have you ever thought about what if it's Liu Zhang's treachery? We have Luocheng to retreat from our defeat last time. If we lose again this time, where can we brothers go?"
After thinking about it, Zhang Lusi still felt that it would be safer to stick to Luocheng and wait for the defense to counterattack.
Liu Zhang will never let Zhang Lu occupy Luocheng, so sooner or later the two sides will fight.
"Brother! We lost to Liu Zhang before, not because we couldn't beat him, but because we fell for his tricks again and again! The opportunity for revenge is right in front of us, how can we just sit back and watch the good opportunity!"
Zhang Wei was not reconciled, for the past six months, he wanted to take revenge on Liu Zhang every moment!
Repeated battles and repeated defeats, but every time you are not defeated by soldiers! Even Zhang Wei felt that if the two armies fought an upright battle, Liu Zhang might not be able to win him!
"But this is undoubtedly a bet on your brother's life!"
It's a bit difficult right now, but it's far from the end of the mountain, how can Zhang Lu get out of it!
"Brother, what's the point of us living like this? We are in a state of high tension every day, afraid that Liu Zhang will come to the city one day! The soldiers, horses, food and grass are all provided by Jia Long and the others. Are we still equal to Jia Long and Ren Qi? "
"If one day they get upset and cut off Luocheng's supply, we can only wait to be caught! Do you want to live like a fool?"
Zhang Lu's face was livid, Zhang Wei tore off his last fig leaf!
"Asshole!"
Zhang Wei was not afraid of Zhang Lu's anger at all. On the contrary, he wanted to take this opportunity to irritate Zhang Lu and let him escape from Liu Zhang's fear!
"Brother! It's better to fight than this! If we can seize the opportunity, we may not be able to win Guanghan County in one fell swoop, and even have a chance to break into Hanzhong! At that time, our brothers will be the ones who own the three counties!"
After hearing Zhang Wei's rhetoric, Zhang Lu couldn't help laughing, very helplessly, mixed with strong self-mockery.
Once upon a time, Zhang Lu heard such rhetoric in Fucheng, but what happened?
The result was not to drive Liu Zhang out of Guanghan County, but to end up annihilating the entire army and fleeing in a hurry!
"Hey! Second brother, it's not the first time we've fought against Liu Zhang. Think about it carefully, have we ever had an advantage? I won't ask you whether you win or lose, even if you only have a small advantage!"
"Didn't you find out? As long as we leave the city, we will be led by the nose! We are like a chess piece. Liu Zhang can play us wherever he wants, but we have no room to resist at all." !"
Zhang Wei lowered his head slightly, being hit repeatedly by Zhang Lu, his interest also dropped a lot.
"Brother, I know Liu Zhang is powerful, but I just don't want to be reconciled! He has never defeated us head-on, every time he is using tricks! Have you ever thought that maybe he will be completely defeated by us after only one fight!"
Zhang Wei suddenly roared out, his strong obsession with Liu Zhang directly transformed into a huge motivation!
"Then have you ever thought about how we can fight him head-on? Have you ever thought that the moment we led our troops out to fight, we fell into Liu Zhang's tricks again!"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but exploded too. He wanted to defeat Liu Zhang more than anyone else, but the facts told him that these could only be wishful thinking.
Zhang Wei stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Lu's shoulder, and looked at him with red eyes. "Brother! Can you trust me again! I've been tricked several times, why don't I check it out!"
Seeing his younger brother's aggrieved appearance, Zhang Lu was in a trance for a while. Suddenly, the scene of the two practicing in the mountains came to mind, how carefree they were at that time!
What about now? Naturally, they have power, but the two brothers are about to be tortured crazy by Liu Zhang!
"Okay, tell me..."
After all, his heart softened, Zhang Lu still gave Zhang Wei a chance.
"Brother, after half a year of investigation, Liu Zhang has a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses, including about 15,000 in Hanzhong County, and less than 5,000 in Guanghan's vassal state. Most of them are concentrated in Guanghan County, with 70,000 troops!"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes. In just half a year, Liu Zhang jumped from a shortage of troops to a support of 90,000 troops!
"Don't say 90,000, we can't even beat him with 20,000 soldiers..."
"Brother, if you can't beat 90,000, what about 5,000? Can we beat 5,000?"
Zhang Lu temporarily suppressed his dull mood, and continued to look at Zhang Wei.
If 60,000 people can't beat 5,000 soldiers, then there's no need to resist, just surrender!
"Brother, although Liu Zhang has an army of 90,000, in fact, this is all his troops. Just to guard these places, at least 30,000 people are needed! That is to say, he can only use 60,000 troops!"
Zhang Lu smiled bleakly, he couldn't beat 60,000!
"Brother, don't panic, listen to me first. According to the information from the counties in Guanghan, Liu Zhang has personally led an army of 50,000. With Xun You as the military advisor, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others as the generals, the troops are divided into two groups to attack Berkshire. Already!"
"what!"
"hiss…"
Zhang Lu was overjoyed at first, and then immediately felt the breath of conspiracy.
Yes, this is too similar to before attacking Zitong last year!
"Second brother, this is definitely Liu Zhang's trick! We can't be fooled by him anymore! The traitor Liu Zhang must have set up an ambush, just waiting for our brothers to sneak in!"
Zhang Lu will never forget the day when he was trapped in Zitong City and escaped with difficulty, let alone the night when he escaped alone!
Zhang Wei grabbed Zhang Lu's shoulder again and looked at him firmly.
"Brother, I have searched all ten counties in Guanghan County, and there is absolutely no hidden soldiers! Only Mianzhu has five to six thousand defenders!"
Zhang Lu hesitated again because of his soft heart, he had never seen such serious eyes from Zhang Wei.
"Hey…"
Zhang Lu's vacillation gave Zhang Wei great motivation, and hurriedly tried to persuade him again.
"Brother, you know the situation in Mianzhu best. It's much easier to attack from Luocheng. We don't need a large number. As long as the whole army presses up and occupies the city wall in one fell swoop, Liu Zhang's treacherous schemes will have nowhere to go!"
Zhang Lu didn't speak, but kept frowning and thinking in his heart, constantly calculating the possibility of Zhang Wei's proposal.
The impact of this battle is too great, regardless of everything else, as long as the 60,000 soldiers and horses are damaged again, Brother Zhang Lu can wipe his neck directly!
No matter how much Jia Long and Ren Qi fear Liu Zhang, they will never send another soldier to Zhang Lu!
Eighty thousand people have already joined in between the two before and after!
The loss of 80,000 people was unbearable for Shu County and Qianwei County combined!
What's more, the soldiers who supported this time were led by a general, and they received an order to assist Zhang Lu in guarding Luocheng.
Whether he can obey Zhang Lu's dispatch to fight Mianzhu is still unknown.
