Liu Bei knew the reason that he should take the lead in defeating the enemy, but his command was less than 10,000 troops, but the troops in Shu gathered more than 100,000. He voluntarily gave up the right geographical defense and went south to launch an attack, which was undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg.

Pang Tong also saw the reason why Liu Bei was hesitating. He gritted his teeth and half-supported his body despite Liu Bei's obstruction.

"The landlord of Shu is secretly weak, and has many political power. One hundred thousand soldiers have a hundred thousand hearts. The general is wise and wise, and the rewards and punishments are clear. Ten thousand people under his command are as one mind as one. If you divide your strength and control your shortcomings, you will be able to overcome them!"

It is of course extremely dangerous to have a small number of enemies. But in Pang Tong's view, Liu Bei in front of him had no other choice. If he delayed it and allowed Liu Zhang to dispatch troops to attack in the future, it would only make the situation worse.

We must use the desire of the less than 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers to survive, and the subordinates of Shu soldiers went south to attack Zitong, Fuxian and other places. Before the Shu army could gather, we quickly opened up the situation and disintegrated the internal forces of Shu so that we could continue to compete with Liu Zhang, and then strive to defeat the Shu army on the battlefield and capture the entire Yizhou area.

Liu Bei was not an indecisive person. After Pang Tong repeatedly emphasized, he also realized that he had to compete for the opportunity to fight for war, but there was something else that made him feel at ease.

"Jiameng, Baishui and other passes are the throat gates of Shu. If you go south to compete for Shu, your garrison is empty, and once the Hanzhong Xiliang army and Bajun Pang Xi army attack, how should you resist it?"

The Jiameng Pass, where Liu Bei stationed and the Baishui Army led by Liu Zhang, were guarding the main throat of Shuzhong, connecting Hanzhong, Bajun and other places. Once Liu Bei was in full swing, the empty pass would inevitably be difficult to resist the attack of the Xiliang army and Pang Xi army.

"Yan Yan has gained Hebei and competed with Cao to compete for Henan. The Hanzhong and Western Liang army defended itself. However, Pang Xi of Ba County suspected Liu Zhang, not an enterprising army. The general only needed to leave a small number of suspicious soldiers, which was enough to deal with it."

Speaking of this, Pang Tong took a breath and continued

"Tong was injured by arrows and could not go south with the army. He was willing to be ordered to station the Jiameng and Baishui passes to guard against the enemies of Hanzhong and Ba County."

Liu Bei knew that Pang Tong was strengthening his confidence, but how could he make Pang Tong, who was seriously injured and needed resting, work hard and prevented things. Moreover, Pang Tongtong had insufficient experience in his army, and forced behavior would harm him.

"Let the captain Huo Jun come to the tent."

Liu Bei pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

After a while, a general with thick eyebrows and square face and tall figure was ordered to come.

The Huo family was a powerful family in Nanjun. Huo Du and Huo Jun's brothers surrendered to Liu Biao and were incorporated into the Jingzhou Army. After Huo Du's death, the troops continued to be led by Huo Jun. Later, Jingyi's troops were joined by the troops, and Huo Jun was ordered to lead the troops to follow Liu Bei into Sichuan to fight.

Liu Bei did not publicly announce the decision to let Huo Jun and Pang Tong stay in Jiameng Pass in the military discussion, but instead summoned Huo Jun to inquire in advance, explaining the severity of the situation and the crisis of war and defense, which gave Huo Jun enough time to consider.

Huo Jun suddenly got this important task and was also uneasy, but he knew that this was also a major opportunity to make achievements in his life. After thinking about it, he immediately took the order generously.

Liu Bei looked at Huo Jun who was ordered and generously, and was pleased that he had not read the wrong person. He just thought that Huo Jun had less than a thousand troops under his command. Even if he had added 1,000 Baishui Army, his garrison troops were still in a tight position, and he felt worried again.

It was very dangerous to go south to attack Liu Zhang, and it was also a arduous task for them to stay in Jiameng Pass alone.

But Liu Bei knew that he could no longer hesitate. He looked solemn and leaned over to Huo and Pang bowed and said solemnly.

"Jiameng Pass, please everyone!"

···

Three months later, Chengdu.

There was an endless cloud of darkness in the prefecture. Many civil and military officials tried their best to avoid mentioning the war with Liu Bei's army in front of Liu Zhang, but the urgent reports of the successive defeat of the Shu army on the battlefield showed that the situation that was originally beneficial to Liu Zhang's side was gradually being reversed.

"Failed again..."

In the lobby, Liu Zhang, who had read the battle report, was furious and threw down the bamboo book regardless of his majesty, clenched his fists and shouted.

"Liu Xi, Zhang Ren swore a month ago that he would wipe out the rebels within one month. Why did he retreat in Zitong, Fu County and other places in tens of thousands of troops in the past month, and even lost tens of thousands of troops? Could it be that the military newspapers in the army had deceived me before?"

These arrogant soldiers and generals in Shu are fine if they are slanderous in their daily lives. At this time of life and death, they are defeated repeatedly, resulting in the deterioration of the situation. How can they not make the Lord of Yizhou Liu Zhang angry?

The civil and military leaders in the lobby held their breath and bowed their heads, no one dared to answer, only a few generals in the last seat who were in charge of the battle were eager to try.

"Zheng is engaged, and the rebels are getting more and more arrogant. What are your good strategies to combat the rebellion?"

In the past, Liu Zhang subconsciously asked his confidant to consult Zhang Song first. However, now that Zhang Song betrayed him, he has been sentenced to death. Liu Zhang, who had no one to use, could only pin his hopes on Zheng Du and others.

They used to be the ones who competed with Zhang Song, and they were also those who were severely suppressed by Zhang Song. Now that Zhang Song's conspiracy has been revealed and has been executed, they have turned around and become the people that Liu Zhang values ​​now.

Zheng Du was asked by Liu Zhang and could no longer avoid talking. He thought about it and got up and went out.

"Ming Gong, Liu Bei has been through the battlefield for a long time, and his subordinates have all ten thousand enemies. His troops are alone in Shu. Once they are defeated, the entire army will be destroyed. Therefore, the upper and lower levels are brave enough to fight for the first place, and the two armies are fighting against each other. The soldiers and generals in Shu are difficult to resist. Moreover, Liu Bei and others are good at bewitching people's hearts. Zitong, Fuxian and other places have been lost. In the opinion of Du, the rebels are sharp and our army should avoid war."

After Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others led their troops south, they were determined to attack the Shu army with a burning boat and not retreating. Liu Yu, Zhang Ren and other generals believed that their troops were several times more powerful than Liu Bei's army, and then they rushed to fight. After a few battles, they were beaten by Liu Bei's troops and horses. At present, only some of the remaining soldiers retreated to Mianzhu and could only ask Chengdu for help.

After winning, Liu Bei restrained his soldiers. On the one hand, he comforted the soldiers and the people without fighting with them. On the other hand, he surrendered to counties and counties. As long as the officials who were willing to surrender were all appointed as their original positions, he also promised the captured Shu army to remove their military status after the war. Each of them could be removed from their families and united with the elderly and young people in their families, so as to take the opportunity to take them under his command.

Nowadays, the winning Liu Bei is carrying more and more troops, and the troops are aiming directly at Mianzhu.

"Oh, avoid war, how to avoid war?"

Liu Zhang frowned, obviously Zheng Du's suggestion did not touch him.

"At present, the rebels have captured the cities east of Fushui. Their edge is in full swing. Our army is not good at fighting. It is better to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, drive the people south, burn all the granaries and grains, and refuse to fight with the rebels. In this way, it will take no longer to take a hundred days. The rebels' baggage, food and fodder will be exhausted and they will be dispersed in one day. Liu Bei's power is poor and he will inevitably retreat. Our army takes advantage of the situation to pursue and capture it in one battle!"

As soon as this was finished, other officials from Shu in the hall were immediately in angered, opposing Zheng Du's strategy and attacking Zheng Du's ulterior motives.

Liu Zhang saw the excitement in the hall, and what Zheng Du said was indeed not to his heart, so he said unhappy.

"I heard that I would like to resist the enemy to calm the people, but I have never heard that I would like to move the people to avoid the enemy. Besides, driving the people to destroy the valley is not to break the hearts of the people in Shu and push the scholars and people west of the Fu River to Liu Bei's side. This is what the wise do not do. What you said is very absurd, and you will not retreat!"

The implication is that Zheng Du, the employed person, was to be dismissed from the lobby.

Zheng Du's face suddenly turned pale, and his forehead was pounding with blue veins, he clenched his fists, and he wanted to speak but stopped amid a shout of scolding, and finally left the lobby of the prefecture in shame.

Seeing Zheng Du come out in a mess, the Shu staff in the hall stopped scolding one after another. When Liu Zhang saw that the group returned to normal, he continued to ask for advice.

The last seat of the ban, Xiang Cun, saw this, rushed to come out and talked.

"The last general is not talented, so I beg Gong Ming to transfer 30,000 troops and horses, and I am willing to lead the army to rescue Mianzhu and repel Liu Bei's rebels."

With the voice of the main battle, and Zheng Du, who had just advocated avoiding the war, was scolded out of the hall, and the weather vane in the hall was already obvious, and many civil and military officials joined the main battle ranks one after another to provide advice to face Liu Bei's army head-on. Other advisers also suggested that Liu Zhang pass an order to urge Brazilian prefect Pang Xi to send troops as soon as possible, send troops from Langzhong to attack Jiameng Pass, and cut off Liu Bei's army's rear. The rebels would be in chaos when they heard the news. When the time came, they would attack Liu Bei's rebels.

These suggestions for quick battles and decisions are exactly in line with Liu Zhang's desire to quell the rebels as soon as possible and eliminate the adverse effects caused by his belief in Zhang Song's slander and leading the wolf into the house.

After integrating the chaotic battle strategy, Liu Zhang made a long decision and recommended by the group, and finally decided to let Fei Guan and Li Yan lead the soldiers from Dongzhou, and Xiang Cun lead the soldiers from Shu to rescue Mianzhu together, and resist Liu Bei's rebels with Liu Xuan, Zhang Ren and others.

The Dongzhou soldiers were carefully trained by Ding Zhuang from Nanyang, Sanfu and other places when Liu Yan was alive. He had many military achievements in quelling the rebellions in Shu in the past. This time, Li Yan, a native of Nanyang, who was both civil and military, could restrain each other with the soldiers from the Shu area. As Liu Zhang's in-laws, Fei Guan, who was in charge of Liu Zhang, was able to help him monitor Li Yan. It was linked and comprehensive. This time, the Shu army would definitely completely quell this rebellion like the previous quelling Zhao Yu's rebellion.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhang's inner uneasiness gradually subsided, and replaced by a kind of confidence that he was sure to win.

Soon after, Liu Bei, who was preparing to capture Mianzhu, learned that Liu Zhang refused to pursue the suggestion of Zheng Du's resolute walls and clearing the country and refused to take on the war. He had already sent a large army to fight with him. He was not worried but happy.

After several great victories, Liu Beiyi

It is also full of confidence to sweep away the previous decline.

He and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others said with a smile

"As Shi Yuan said, Liu Zhang relied on his crowd to seek a narrow victory, which was said to be without plans. Although he was a crowd, he had no way to rule and was distracted from the top and bottom. We can take advantage of the victory to defeat him, so that Liu Zhang's followers no longer had the fighting spirit, and then he sent a letter to counties and counties to settle down in Shu in one battle."
