"What?"
Liu Zhang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. Jia Xu was rarely so serious, so this meant that things were probably going to be bad.
"My lord, Lord Liu is your father. You should know who he is! Lord, do you think Lord Liu will let Zhang Lu come and harm your lord?"
Liu Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt palpitations.
No matter how you say it, Liu Yan is a man with great ambitions. How could he let Zhang Luhu do it? Could it be that. . .
The more Liu Zhang thought about it, the more afraid he became. His father and mother were both in Mianzhu. What if something unexpected happened? . .
"Wenhe, are you talking about my father?"
"My lord, maybe it's not that bad."
Jia Xu quickly comforted Liu Zhang. He never expected that Liu Zhang would change so much!
"Didn't Liu Fujun marry Zhang Lu's mother? Maybe he was just fascinated."
Liu Zhang let out a heavy breath. Now that the situation is unknown, he can only comfort himself in this way!
"I hope so. I hope Zhang Lu can be in awe and not do anything he will regret for the rest of his life!"
If Zhang Lu really dares to kill Liu Zhang's parents, then no matter heaven or earth, Liu Zhang will definitely cut Zhang Lu into pieces!
"My lord, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
Xun You, who had been silent for a long time, spoke at this time.
"Gongda, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it. There is nothing serious or inappropriate between us. It doesn't matter if you just say it!"
Xun You thought about it for a while, then handed over his hand to admonish Liu Zhang.
"Master, do you think we can attack Mianzhu directly in one go?"
"cannot."
No matter how ignorant Liu Zhang was, he would never think that he could conquer Yizhou in one battle! Let’s not talk about Baishui Pass and Jiameng Pass. Even Mianzhu Pass cannot be conquered overnight!
"Well, as long as we fight Zhang Lu, Lord Liu, whether he is safe or not, will definitely become a means to threaten the lord! Has the lord ever thought about how to deal with it?"
Xun You's question immediately made Liu Zhang speechless and froze on the spot.
what to do?
Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a headache, and he was vomiting bitterness in his heart. It was really a wave of ups and downs!
"No one can stop me from unifying Yizhou!"
Liu Zhang roared these words, and his eyes were even a little red!
Xun You felt a little heartbroken. This was the reality that he could not escape in the fight for world hegemony!
"My lord, back then Xiang Yu captured Gaozu's father and threatened to cook him if Gaozu did not surrender. Do you know, lord, how Gaozu responded to Xiang Yu?"
Liu Zhang's eyelids were twitching wildly. How could he not know that when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it out loud!
"If Zhang Lu dares to act recklessly, I will definitely peel off his skin and cramp him!"
"Wen He, there is no need to worry about my father's affairs! Life and death are determined by destiny, and I cannot disregard the lives of all the people in the world just because of one person's life!"
If Liu Zhang's words were heard by outsiders, he would definitely be labeled as ruthless, unfaithful and unfilial. But in the eyes of Jia Xu and Xun You, there was no trace of disdain. On the contrary, waves of approval flashed in their eyes.
"My lord, now we need to summon our trusted generals. Everything must be left to absolutely reliable people!"
Liu Zhang nodded heavily, and then yelled outside.
"Somebody come!"
It must be that Liu Zhang shouted too loudly, and four people rushed into the room.
"Lord!"
"Invite Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to come immediately!"
The four soldiers were slightly startled. Didn't these people just go out and they would be called back so soon?
"Go quickly!"
Hearing Liu Zhang's angry shouts, the soldiers came to their senses and ran out quickly.
Jia Xu's face was calm, but he was a little surprised. He originally thought that Liu Zhang would only pass on Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci, and Zhao Yun, but he didn't expect that Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun would also be summoned.
Now Jia Xu also had a sense of proportion in his heart, and Liu Zhang and Xu Huang also trusted each other very much.
Not long after these people left the Sheriff's Mansion, they were quickly driven back, and they all expressed great doubts about this.
"My lord, why did you call me?"
Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu immediately understood what Liu Zhang meant and began to explain to everyone.
"Generals, if you have the task of recruiting more soldiers, you must complete it within ten days."
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun all looked puzzled and didn't understand why the time was suddenly limited.
Especially for Zhao Yun and Gao Shun, the requirements for soldiers are relatively high, and it will definitely be difficult to complete the goal in ten days.
"Military advisor, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
Jia Xu nodded and looked at Zhao Yun and the others with heavy expressions.
"Let me tell you straight, Yang Bai's coming here is definitely not Liu Fujun's will. The purpose is already clear, which is to murder the lord. So I plan to use his plan to attack Xichuan."
Huang Zhong couldn't help but widen his eyes. Just now he was discussing how to capture Yizhou without any bloodshed. He didn't expect that the war would start so soon!
"Military advisor, is the news true?"
Even though he already knew that the matter was basically certain, Huang Zhong couldn't help but ask again. He had followed Liu Zhang for the longest time and knew better what it meant to send troops!
"It's absolutely true, otherwise I wouldn't be so anxious to find you."
Huang Zhong knew how rigorous Jia Xu was. Since Jia Xu said so, it has almost declared the authenticity of this matter.
"But..."
Huang Zhong still has some scruples. Once the war starts, he will not only face the problem of combat, but also the public opinion will flock to him!
"There is nothing more! Yizhou is a must for us. We must not miss any good opportunity. All you have to do is execute the military order!"
When Liu Zhang opened his mouth, he not only interrupted Huang Zhong's words, but also dispelled Huang Zhong's doubts.
"As you command!"
Huang Zhong did not raise any objections. As the lord, Liu Zhang had such an awareness, so Huang Zhong, as a general, naturally had no objections.
"Zilong, temporarily leave the recruitment task of the Wuqi Battalion to Xiahoulan. You and Ziyi will temporarily command the Wufeng Battalion."
The outcome of this battle is crucial to Liu Zhang. There can only be one outcome, and that is to win in battle!
"As you command!"
Neither Zhao Yun nor Tai Shici had any objections and directly accepted the order.
"Han Sheng, you have ten days to select the soldiers. You arrange the personnel for training, and then take the original five thousand martial arts battalion with me to go on the expedition."
Whether the soldiers can be recruited in ten days is a question, and there will definitely be no time for training. Even if he recruited 5,000 men, Liu Zhang had no intention of letting these new soldiers fight immediately. Not only does it have no combat effectiveness, the casualties will be very tragic. Liu Zhang was not very wealthy, and he would never do anything like letting his soldiers die in vain!
"As you command!"
Huang Zhong quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If veterans are mixed with new recruits, their combat effectiveness will be doubled! He was worried just now that he would have to fight with five thousand new soldiers because of the tight war situation!
"Gao Shun, please maintain your camp with a thousand people for the time being. It won't be too late to recruit more after this battle."
Gao Shun's trapped camp was about to be of great use, and Liu Zhang naturally could not waste this extremely powerful force.
"I will obey your orders!"
"Wen He, come and issue combat orders!"
All arrangements for recruiting troops were completed, and Liu Zhang handed over the power of strategic deployment to Jia Xu. He also wanted to see how Jia Xu could reverse the situation.
Jia Xu nodded, with a confident look on his face.
"Generals, we..."
