Chapter 479 Entering Qianwei County
"Yongnian, this general will conquer Qianwei County and Berkshire soon, can you go with me as a member of the army?"
Liu Zhang didn't want to train Zhang Song to be the prefect of a county, on the contrary, he wanted to train him to be a military adviser.
Zhang Song has great talents, and in the future, the number of troops will continue to increase, and military divisions will become scarce.
"Zhang Song takes command!"
Liu Zhang's appointment was exactly on Zhang Song's mind, and his thoughts followed Liu Zhang all the time.
Although the official position of joining the army is small, he is Liu Zhang's confidant.
Zhang Song doesn't want to be like his brother, soaring into the sky, on the contrary, Zhang Song wants to prove himself.
Prove his talent to the world.
It is even more necessary to prove to Liu Zhang that he has not misjudged the person!
"Wenhe!"
Now that everyone has finished making arrangements, Liu Zhang would solemnly introduce his No. 1 man, Jia Xu, to these people.
Jia Xu silently walked to Liu Zhang's side, saluted and faced the crowd.
"Everyone, this is the mastermind of this general, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe. His talent is among the best in the world! Don't take a post for Yizhou first!"
"Jia Xu and this general are both teachers and friends. Let me tell you this, as long as this general is not in Chengdu, Jia Xu has full power to call the shots. You must obey!"
Liu Zhang spoke very well and gave Jia Xu the greatest power, which not only moved Jia Xu, but also stunned everyone.
Jia Xu suppressed the emotion in his heart, and bowed his hands to everyone.
"My lords, I will serve the Lord together in the future, please take care of me!"
Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and they all bowed their hands in return, still busy saying that they didn't dare.
"Okay, Jia Xu, Wang Shang, Zhang Song, and Zhang Su stay here for a while, and the others leave first!"
Everyone bowed their hands and left one after another, and the room became wider in an instant.
"Wen Biao, Jun Jiao, both of you are new prefects, you must be familiar with government affairs in the shortest possible time."
It is not a simple task for the prefect of one county to manage more than ten counties. If not handled properly, the entire county will become chaotic.
Of course, Liu Zhang had great trust in Wang Shang and Zhang Su's abilities, so saying this was already encouraging them.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our best!"
The eyes of Wang Shang and Zhang Su are very firm, and they are very confident that they are qualified for the post of sheriff.
"Wenhe, when the army arrives in Japan, Qianwei County will definitely be pacified, but I will directly send troops into Berkshire and direct my troops towards Jiangzhou!"
"Immediately send someone to order Xun You and Zheng Du to get ready and prepare to attack Zhao Wei with me!"
The first battle of Berkshire was very important. After taking Qianwei County, the morale of Liu Zhang's army will reach its peak.
Liu Zhang must take down Bajun in one go, without giving Zhao Wei any chance to breathe.
"Obey!"
"Also, allocate food and grass to Xun You and Zheng Du immediately, and don't delay the attack because of the food and grass."
Bazhong and Langzhong are different from Chengdu, and it is very inconvenient to transport grain, so Liu Zhang reminded them a little more.
"My lord, don't worry, I'll prepare right away!"
By entrusting Jia Xu with the full power of food and grass, Liu Zhang can concentrate on conquest.
"Wen Biao, Shu County is a large grain-producing county, and you must cooperate with Wen He to supply the army in Qianwei County in time."
"Obey!"
"Jun Jiao, the military rations in Langzhong are supplied by Guanghan County, and you can prepare them after you arrive!"
"Obey!"
The three-way army happens to be supplied by three counties, so the pressure will not be too great, and the amount of food shipped each time will not be huge.
"This campaign will be a key battle to unify Yizhou. Everyone must go all out to ensure that the army can successfully pacify Berkshire!"
Liu Zhang once again emphasized the importance of using troops this time. If there is no accident, Berkshire must be pacified before the end of the year.
"Obey!"
Three days later, everything was ready in Chengdu. Liu Zhang took command in person, joined the army with Zhang Song, and led Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Lei Tie, and a total of 40,000 troops to conquer Qianwei County. Positive.
Liu Zhang marched calmly, traveling forty miles a day, and arrived at the foot of Wuyang City on time five days later.
Just when Liu Zhang led his army to the foot of Wuyang City, the Yang family in Wuyang immediately sent envoys to see Liu Zhang.
Ever since Ren Qi lost his halberd in Chengdu, Wuyang has almost become an empty city, with some guards in front of him, no more than two or three thousand people at most.
Liu Zhang had almost guessed the intention of the Yang family's visit, and most likely it was to dedicate the city.
"Meet Master State Shepherd!"
"Get up, what does Mrs. Yang want, just say it."
Liu Zhang didn't want to spend more time talking, and the 40,000 army was waiting in front of him. It only took an hour to take Wuyang.
"Yes! Mrs. Yang hopes to invite Master Zhou to come to the city to talk about the return of Qianwei County."
Liu Zhang sneered, and displeasure gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Joke, the city will be destroyed in half an hour, so how about calling in to talk to you, Mrs. Yang?"
The people from Wuyang seemed to have anticipated this situation, and bowed their hands to Liu Zhang again.
"Lord Zhou Mu, calm down. The people in Yizhou know that he loves the people like children. Presumably, Master Zhou doesn't want to cause more killings. If Master Zhou can go to the city to do business, then the Yang family can help the prefecture and nine counties. Master Mu persuades you to surrender!"
The envoy of the Yang family looked at Liu Zhang with a smile on his face. He threatened Liu Zhang with righteousness, and he was not afraid that Liu Zhang would not submit.
"Hehehe..."
Liu Zhang smiled suddenly, very brightly, but there was a strong sense of ridicule and disdain in this smile.
"Do you know that your words will bring disaster to the Yang family? This general can directly attack the city. When the city is broken, the Yang family will not stay!"
The envoy of the Yang family frowned, obviously this situation was beyond his imagination.
"Lord State Shepherd..."
"Okay, you all said that this general loves the people like a son, and it is true! Today, this general will go to Wuyang City to see what it is like!"
As soon as the topic changed, Liu Zhang suddenly changed his previous attitude and agreed to the request of the Yang family envoy.
"Thank you, Mr. State Shepherd!"
The messenger hastily wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and then immediately saluted and thanked him.
"I don't know how many people the state shepherd is going to bring?"
Zhang Song on the side couldn't bear it any longer, and stood up directly.
"Is your Yang family looking for death? Do you really think my lord is afraid of you?"
It is already too much for Liu Zhang to go to Wuyang City in person, and now he wants to limit the number of people he can carry! Regardless of Liu Zhang's opinion, Zhang Song will not be able to pass this test!
"I don't dare, but if Master Zhou brings heavy troops, it will inevitably cause turmoil in Wuyang City."
"What does the Yang family mean?"
Compared with Zhang Song's aggression, Liu Zhang was quite calm.
"No more than five hundred people!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the envoy lowered his head and did not dare to look at Liu Zhang's reaction.
After a long time, Liu Zhang suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hahaha, why does the little Wuyang City need five hundred people! I can only bring one person!"
"Come on, follow me into the city!"
Zhang Song turned pale with shock, and hurried forward to dissuade Liu Zhang.
"My lord, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he must not be careless!"
Liu Zhang patted Zhang Song on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.
"You don't have to worry about Yongnian, little Wuyang City, how can you do nothing to me!"
