Zitong, as the news spread that Liu Zhang had mobilized 200,000 troops to attack Zitong, the entire Zitong County fell into an inexplicable panic. ,, Watching groups of soldiers and horses coming in and out, the people in the city all closed their homes tightly and did not dare to go out at will. The entire Zitong City seemed extremely quiet. The 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers and horses who had just arrived at Zitong had already gathered outside the city before they had time to rest. Zhao Yun, who looked extremely conspicuous in his white robe and armor, was kneeling down in front of Liu Qi, his voice revealing determination. "Don't worry, my lord, no matter what the situation in Mianyang is, the general will control Mianyang." Looking at Zhao Yun who had just arrived at Zitong and had not yet had time to enter the city, Liu Qi secretly praised in his heart that he had just received news that Liu Zhang's 200,000 troops were heading north. , Zhao Yun arrived here in just a quarter of an hour, which was a perfect opportunity and solved his urgent need. "It doesn't matter. If Mianyang has already been lost when you arrive at Mianyang, you can camp outside Mianyang City to prevent the Yizhou soldiers and horses from moving further north. If not, you will kill their vanguard first." Liu Qi's eyes were sharp, and even if he was unprepared, he would If Mianyang is not lost, it must be a heavy loss. "No." Zhao Yun bowed again and saluted, suddenly stood up and took the horse beside him, jumped on the horse, bowed his hands to Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang, and jumped on the horse to leave. Ten thousand soldiers and horses followed behind, and the leading ones were the two thousand flying dragon guards. At this time, the flying dragon guards were all holding spears and holding reins, following behind Zhan Yun like a torrent. Watching Zhao Yun leave, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and said: "My lord, there is Zilong in Mianyang, so everything should be fine. However, Jiangyou has neither generals nor elite soldiers, so that is where we should pay the most attention." "Well, in the city at this time. There is no general. Although I have ordered Huang Zhong to rush to Jiangyou to guard it, Huang Zhong is in Yinping County. By the time he arrives, Jiangyou may have fallen into the hands of Yizhou. I personally led 10,000 troops to Jiangyou. Zitong will be temporarily guarded by military advisors. "Liu Qi thought for a while and said, although there are no generals in Zitong City, Zhuge Liang should be able to withstand Yizhou's attack. This time, there are still 20,000 soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun. Ten thousand troops and horses can just go to support Jiangyou. "Don't worry, my lord, Zitong has his subordinates here, so everything will be safe." Zhuge Liang bowed and said, there were originally 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which was more than enough to guard Zitong. A quarter of an hour later, Liu Qi led the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses outside the city to leave. As soon as Liu Qi left, a series of orders were issued in Zitong City, which spread to the entire Zitong County, and even Wudu County and Yinping County. "From now on, all places under the rule of Mianyang Marquis are subject to curfew. Anyone who violates the prohibition can be captured on the spot, and if there is resistance, they can be killed on the spot!" "From now on, all places under the rule of Mianyang Marquis, Within three months, no private exchanges with Yizhou are allowed. Anyone entering or leaving requires a certificate issued by the prefecture of each county. " One after another orders against the Yizhou army were spread to various counties. The soldiers and horses of each county also took action because of these orders. Although this was not beneficial to Jingzhou in the long run, Zhuge Liang issued them all without the slightest hesitation. Liu Zhang's 200,000-strong army was no small matter. He did not dare to be careless before the Jingzhou army assembled. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡. Shangyong, since Jingzhou regained Shangyong, Li Hui was appointed as Shangyong Prefect, although he knew He had made great contributions to Jingzhou, but Li Hui did not dare to neglect him at all. He knew his talents well. If he had not caught up with the Jingzhou army and had just entered Yizhou and was not familiar with the situation in Yizhou, he Dehe would have been promoted to the supervisor of the army by the military advisor, and later he Dehe would have been appointed as the Shangyong prefect. Li Hui had been serving as the prefect of Shangyong for less than a month. He had not had a good rest for a day, and he worked conscientiously and diligently. Li Hui, who had just finished handling his affairs today, was knocked to the ground by a young general who rushed in before he could leave the office. Regardless of punishing the young general, Li Hui first asked: "What on earth happened in such a hurry?" "Your Majesty, please report urgently." After opening the letter, Li Hui's expression suddenly changed, and Liu Zhang actually raised his eyebrows One hundred thousand troops marched north. When did Liu Zhang become so courageous? After reading the letter, Li Hui took a deep breath and looked at the young general: "Go quickly and pass the order to gather all the soldiers and horses in the city." After speaking, Li Hui walked towards the government office again with an eager look on his face, and the letter It was a personal letter from the military advisor, instructing him to be on guard against Yizhou troops coming from Brazil County to attack Dongjun County into Shangyong. Yizhou General Yan Yan¡¯s army is gathering in Brazil County. If this person attacks Jingzhou from Shangyong County, it will be a disaster for Jingzhou.salary. Yan Yan¡¯s name was like thunder to Li Hui¡¯s ears. Thinking that this person might want to attack Shangyong, he didn¡¯t dare to show any hesitation. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Wancheng, at this time, Wancheng is many times more prosperous than it was a few months ago. This Guangwu Emperor Long The place has somewhat regained its former glory. At this time, in the camp outside Wancheng, Wang Yi was looking at the letter in his hand with a solemn expression. The bright red seal was extremely dazzling. "This Liu Zhang is so courageous." In his eyes, Liu Zhang clearly had no scruples when he marched north with an army of 200,000 men. Maybe even the entire foundation of Yizhou was weighed down by this unusual decisive battle. "Come here, please order all the grain and grass outside the city to be transported back to the city. From now on, we will temporarily stop collecting grain and grass, and we will continue after three months." After thinking about it, Wang Yi shouted to the door. As more and more aristocratic families and even civilians store their food and grass in granaries, it is no longer possible for the granaries to store so much food and grass. There are still piles of food and grass piled up outside Wancheng, although there are large troops guarding them. , but there is no guarantee that Yizhou¡¯s craftsmen or dead soldiers will not appear. At the same moment, Wu Xiong also looked at the bamboo slips in his hands with a solemn expression. After pondering for a while, he gave the order: "From now on, no one is allowed to touch the granary without my order. Also, everyone who will manage the granary Get all the information here, no one should be left out.¡± ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Xiangyang, in Liu Qi¡¯s mansion. Xin Xianying was dressed in plain white clothes, still wearing a thin veil, which perfectly covered her exquisite face, leaving only a pair of smart eyes, and her long white hands were holding a letter seriously. She looked at her with a serious expression, as if she was watching something important that was related to her life. In the study, Jia Xu, Yi Ji, Wang Wei and others sat silently with solemn expressions, their eyes full of solemnity. Even Jia Xu, who had always been unfazed by favors and humiliations, had his eyes flashing, showing the unease in his heart. "In other words, Liu Zhang is already determined to have a showdown with his lord?" He moved his eyes away from the letter in his hand and looked at the people in the study. The ethereal voice echoed in the study. "Liu Zhang has always been cowardly and incompetent. This time he mobilized an army of 200,000 to force the lord to fight with him. I think there is something hidden behind it." With a flash of eyes, Jia Xu spoke first. Although the person in front of him was a woman, he did not dare to look down upon her in the slightest, so his attitude was extremely respectful. This woman's talents are extraordinary, and her methods are even more impressive. The only bad thing is that, whether to maintain the stability of Xiangyang or to intimidate Fang Xiaoxiao, she is not as tepid as her lord. She acts more resolutely and elusively than her lord. Although the lord acts tepidly, he always hits the mark with one hit, making it easier to get along with him. The person in front of me didn't seem to be as patient as the lord, and he often went straight to the point without leaving any trace of face. Therefore, Jia Xu also felt faintly stressed in front of this woman. "Madam, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under my lord's command at this time. Compared with the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, it is really stretched. The general is willing to lead the Xuanwu Army to reinforce." Wang's majestic voice was like a bell, making the study room buzz. . "We can transport the grain and grass baggage directly from Wancheng to Yizhou, so we can quickly reinforce our lord." Yi Ji also said. "Since we know that Liu Zhang has always been cowardly, and this time he was able to mobilize an army of 200,000 to fight his lord to the death, someone must have instigated him to make plans for him." After Yi Ji finished speaking, Xin Xianying spoke again. The scarf covered her face, so it was difficult to see what Xin Xianying's expression was, and few people dared to make any comments. The lady's strength seemed to have taken root in people's hearts. "General Wang immediately led 50,000 Xuanwu troops to Yizhou to support the lord. He sent orders to Wuling Shangyong and other places to assemble troops and horses in the army to prepare for the invasion of Yizhou. At the same time, he sent envoys to Nanman and Jiaozhou. Liu Zhang and his son were not in Yizhou either. Mr. Jia sent people to Yizhou to contact those people who were persecuted by Liu Zhang and his sons, as well as those aristocratic families that have declined over the years. There is no need to be secretive about these things. As for how to do it, I think Mr. Jia should be better than I know better." After pondering for a while, Xin Xianying's voice sounded again, and her voice had become a little cold. "No." Everyone bowed in response. "Order Wancheng to prepare food and grass. The naval forces in Hanzhong will work day and night to transport food and grass to the army. We must ensure that there is sufficient food and grass." Just as several people responded, Xin Xianying's order was issued again. "No." Several people bowed in response again. Seeing that Xin Xianying said nothing, they immediately stood up and went to prepare. As a few people left, there was another scene in the study.After falling into silence, Xin Xianying's cold voice sounded again, revealing a trace of anger, as if he was whispering and speaking to the air. "The Jinyiwei are responsible for collecting information from Yizhou. Liu Zhang mobilized an army of 200,000 people. There is no news about such a big thing. This is the Jinyiwei's dereliction of duty and should be punished. After this battle, we will judge the crime." "Nuo." The empty space In the study room, a low shout sounded without warning. After finishing the matter, Xin Xianying stood up and prepared to leave. When he passed the screen in the study, he paused for a moment, the surprise in his eyes disappeared, and then he ignored him and started to leave. Soon after Xin Xianying left, a soft voice came from behind the screen, and then he stretched out his head to look at the situation outside. When he saw no one, he walked out. But she is a girl in her twenties and eighties. Her graceful and graceful body is outlined by a light blue dress. She is really beautiful. The girl looked at the place where Xin Xianying had just worked, with a look of surprise. She stuck out her tongue, her eyes flashed, and she walked out of the study.
