"My lord!"
As soon as Yuan Ke took off his armor, someone came in from outside.
"Fa Zheng, you are here."
"Sit anywhere!"
"yes!"
Fazheng found a stool and sat opposite Yuan Ke.
"My lord, I just heard that this battle was extremely brutal and our army suffered heavy casualties."
"yes!"
"There were nearly 20,000 casualties in this battle. If Yi Rong had not been sent in advance, the outcome of this battle might have been unpredictable."
"I just sent someone to send a message to Di Qing, asking him to send 30,000 troops to support our army."
"Next, we will have a fierce battle with Yizhou."
"Zhang Ren is a veteran general with rich combat experience. He understands that we are now short of men and horses, and our troops are out of strength. He will not miss this perfect opportunity to destroy us."
Yuan Ke couldn't help but said loudly.
"My lord, be wise!"
"I also came to you for this matter. We need more troops to fight against Zhang Ren."
"Zhang Renshao is brave, courageous, and knowledgeable in the art of war. He is a powerful enemy. We need to be careful."
Fa Zheng said.
"I understand and will not underestimate the enemy."
"At the same time, secretly ask Cheng Yaojin to help us quickly. In two days at most, 50,000 elite troops will rush to Jianmen Pass. By then, it will be the time for us to defeat Zhang Ren."
"We'd better rest and recuperate until we get reinforcements."
Yuan Ke said.
"The Lord has come to ask for forgiveness."
When he finished speaking, Fazheng knelt on the ground on one knee.
"Fazheng, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."
When Yuan Ke saw this, he immediately helped him up.
"My lord, I was the one who spoke big words before. My proposal to persuade Dugu Xin to surrender was unsuccessful. Instead, he made preparations in advance because of my surrender letter. It was me who made many brothers die in vain."
"I am guilty."
Fa Zheng said.
"Okay, this matter is not your fault and has nothing to do with you. You don't need to belittle yourself or blame yourself too much."
"Dugu Xin's stubbornness is his problem and has nothing to do with you. Now that our army has captured Jianmen Pass, Dugu Xin has also been captured by our army."
"Afterwards, I will make him pay for his actions."
Yuan Ke appeased Fa Zheng.
Although the persuasion to surrender this time caused Dugu Xin to take precautions beforehand, which made it more difficult to attack the city, leading to increased casualties in this battle.
But he did not blame Fazheng.
After all, Fa Zheng is just a counselor, not a god.
"Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness!"
When Fazheng heard this, he was extremely moved. He knew that he was not with the wrong person. Yuan Ke was a wise man who could become a great leader.
"Okay, let's not discuss this matter. Let's talk about other things."
"For example, after we defeat Zhang Ren, how are we going to pacify Yizhou? Those powerful people from all over Yizhou are a problem."
Yuan Ke asked.
"Lord, this is easy."
"There are three most powerful forces in Yizhou. Among them, there are two foreign groups. One is the Dongzhou force that flows into Yizhou from Nanyang, Sanfu and other places, represented by the Dongzhou Army, and the other is those who follow Liu Yan. Liu Yan's forces entered Sichuan, and the remaining third group was local, namely: Yizhou indigenous forces."
"Over the years, because Liu Yan has continuously suppressed and reduced the Yizhou indigenous forces, this force has been dissatisfied with Liu Yan for a long time. As long as we defeat Zhang Ren, send people to appease them, and grant them official positions, we can make him return Clothes."
"Zhao Wei from the Prefectural Mufu is a representative of Yizhou's indigenous forces. He is extremely dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, Liu Yan's successor. He is a man who is greedy for fame and fortune. Your Majesty may be able to win him over. When the time is right, if The bureau will get rid of him.”
"As for Liu Yan's forces, that is, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son, take care of these two people. Whether the rest of them are killed or persuaded to surrender depends on your thoughts, my lord."
"Zhonglang General Wu Yi and Zhang Song, as well as the ministers, are all members of the external forces. You have just accepted Mrs. Wu Rui. With this relationship, there is no problem in surrendering to Wu Yi."
"As long as Wu Yi surrenders, it will be equivalent to taking over Liu Yan's power, because Wu Yi is a representative figure among foreign forces."
"As for the Dongzhou Group, I suggest that it be wiped out. However, if our army can kill Zhang Ren, this force will not be a problem, because almost all the Dongzhou Army came this time."
Fazheng was particularly familiar with the situation in Yizhou. At this time, he slowly and in detail gave many suggestions on how to pacify Yizhou.
Fazheng was a great talent in internal affairs and had the ability to assist others. The strategies he mentioned now coincided with Yuan Ke's thoughts.
Yuan Ke deeply agreed.
"good!"
"I already know what's going on."
Previously, when Yuan Ke's promise came true, Feng Fa was appointed as the prefect of Shu County.
As for the state pastoral office of Yizhou, he will personally take charge of it. As for the state pastoral office, he will also set it up as a vacant position and set up the position of Yizhou governor. He intends to let Wu Yi take this position.
In history, Wu Yi was also an extremely important figure in Yizhou. After Zhuge Liang's death, he was promoted to the governor of Hanzhong, where he controlled the military affairs of Hanzhong County. He was also an important general in the late Shu Han Dynasty at that time.
However, the main reason for promoting Wu Yi is that Wu Yi is Wu Rui's elder brother and the brother-in-law of his great Sima. In any case, he is also half of his family.
It can be said that he is appointed as the governor of Yizhou, which is justified, and he can rest assured.
He will also authorize the other party to form the Yizhou Army.
Today, his power is still too small, and the number of people he can call upon is really limited.
Let's not talk about anything else. In the siege battle that just ended, there were only 30,000 troops responsible for siege. If the south gate had not been captured just now, they would not only be defeated in this battle, but also in danger of being annihilated.
After that, Fa Zheng left.
After he left, Yuan Ke took a rest.
It just so happened that soon after, the sky gradually became dark, and the Yizhou army did not take advantage of the night to attack the city. After all, they had just come from a long way, they were tired and exhausted, and it was night again, so it was inconvenient to start a battle.
In this way, both parties can have some breathing time.
But everyone knows that everything is just the calm before the storm. Tomorrow will be another hard battle, and no one knows how many people will die.
Attacking a city and plundering territory is so cruel and bloody...
At the same time, Di Qing's army also surrounded [Nanzheng City].
clatter!
clatter!
clatter!
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses surrounded the four city gates.
"Report!"
In Di Qing's camp, just after Nanzheng City was surrounded, a small flag officer from the Jin Yiwei came in.
"Meet Di Shuai!"
The visitor's name is Zheng Xiaodao.
"What's the matter?"
Di Qing asked.
"Commander Di, I have a military order from the Lord."
Zheng Xiaodao gave this military order to Di Qing.
Di Qing took the military order.
open.
[Di Qing, Jianmen Pass has been broken and is in urgent need of a large army to guard it. Upon seeing the military order from this prince, he immediately mobilized 30,000 troops and marched to Jianmen Pass within one day. This is a military order. Anyone who delays the military order will be killed without mercy. 】
After browsing this military order, Di Qing's eyes gradually became serious.
After a moment, he immediately issued an order.
"Come here, please invite the three generals Sima Shang, Yang Ling, and Fu Heng to come over."
About half an hour later, Sima Shang, Yang Ling, and Fu Heng each led 30,000 troops and horses towards Jianmen Pass.
"Brothers, let's go!"
"Jianmen Pass!"
After that, Nanzheng City's offensive did not change. Di Qing adopted the strategy of suspecting soldiers. He bet that Zhang Lu would not have the courage to lead his army to attack him.
"The Lord has an order for our troops to enter Jianmen Pass within two days."
At the same time, 20,000 troops led by Cheng Yaojin also took a detour into Hanzhong. After that, they rushed to Jianmen Pass without any hesitation.
"Set off!"
"quick!"
In order to arrive at Jianmen Pass on time, Cheng Yaojin even stayed up without rest and advocated marching all night.
He understood from the military order that the situation at Jianmen Pass was extremely urgent at this time, and he could not let his guard down.
"Brothers, please work harder. When we arrive at Jianmen Pass, I, Old Cheng, will treat you all to meat and wine."
