Everyone looked at each other with doubts.
Is there anything in Yizhou worth expediting?
The Eastern Army currently stationed in Yizhou is the most powerful. All the clans in the state follow Liu Zhang's lead and do not even have the conditions to rebel.
Even Yang Hong, the leader of the Yizhou family, was extremely confused. The information he received was that Yizhou was doing well.
"pass!"
Liu Zhang felt just like the ministers, confused and confused.
I never imagined that there would be any urgent matter in Yizhou.
However, thanks to the sudden news, everyone who wanted to persuade Liu Zhang not to be afraid of Sima Yi suppressed their words.
Soon, an extremely embarrassed soldier ran in.
The soldier's armor was disheveled and his hair was disheveled, especially his chapped lips, which further proved the fact that Eight Hundred Miles was in a hurry.
Bang.
I don't know whether he fell to his knees or fell to the ground because he lost his balance. The soldier did not choose to stand up again.
"Report to Duke Qin!"
"Pang Tong, the general of the military division, was ambushed on the way to attack Yiling City. He was hit by six arrows and is now in danger!"
"Anling General Wei Yan was hit by eight arrows in the back in order to protect Commander Pang, and was also seriously injured!"
"Nearly half of the five thousand barbarians who accompanied Military Advisor Pang on the expedition were killed or injured!"
After reporting the situation in one breath, the soldier completely collapsed to the ground.
But no one paid attention to the soldier anymore, and the palace fell into a dead silence.
General Ma Chao of Pingbei and the Northern Army's military advisor have just received the bad news that they have disappeared. The Eastern Army's military advisor has been ambushed again. Their lives and deaths are unknown?
Some ministers even had doubts in their minds, did the Eastern Army have an offensive mission?
Didn’t you just decide to recuperate half a year ago?
At that time, Yang Hong personally requested to attack Jingzhou, but Liu Zhang sternly refused.
What exactly is going on?
At this time, Liu Zhang was already in a state of confusion, and his brain had somewhat lost the ability to think.
There are too many questions in my mind.
"hiss...!"
An extremely terrifying idea suddenly appeared in Liu Zhang's mind.
Pang Tong in the novel went to Luofengpo accompanied by Wei Yan, but was shot alive!
Now that Wei Yan was the deputy general again, Pang Tong was ambushed by the enemy and shot seriously.
Is it possible that there is such a thing as destiny?
"How is Pang Tong doing now!"
The soldier wanted to get up, but he tried several times without success. He could only lie on the ground and report to Liu Zhang.
"Reporting to Duke Qin... the military advisor has been transported back to Yufu."
"Before the younger one came, the military advisor was still in a coma..."
"General Huang asked me to send a message to Duke Qin. The situation is not optimistic!"
Liu Zhang's eyes gradually became fierce and his fists were clenched.
It must be the big-eared thief Liu Bei’s fault!
The person who designed it must be Zhuge Liang!
Liu Zhang was filled with hatred, and whatever good impression he had on Zhuge Liang was gone in an instant.
It’s okay if he doesn’t come to Yizhou to serve, but he still wants to kill his former friends all the time!
Zhuge Liang, why are you so vicious!
"Where's Wei Yan, how is he?"
"To report to Duke Qin, General Wei used his body to block the arrows of the military advisor. Now he is also seriously injured."
"But General Wei's life is not in danger, he just needs to recuperate for a long time... time!"
After the soldier said the last two words, he fainted completely.
Liu Zhang closed his eyes tightly, feeling the anger rising in his heart.
Shame, shame and humiliation!
The Qin State had just been established for half a year, and it suffered such heavy losses one after another.
Before the news of the defeat of the Northern Army was digested, news immediately came that the Eastern Army had suffered heavy losses!
Of the two military divisions, one is missing and his life and death are unknown, and the other is seriously injured and his life and death are unknown!
Liu Zhang did not want to explore why Pang Tong sent troops to Yiling, nor did he want to pursue any responsibility. He wanted to seek justice for Pang Tong himself!
Liu Bei seemed a little carried away and dared to stroke his beard!
At this time, Liu Zhang felt extremely regretful. He might as well have listened to Yang Hong and immediately organized forces to threaten Liu Bei.
Even if there is no certainty of victory, Liu Bei must be completely dragged into the quagmire of war!
Over time, Yizhou's strength will have no impact, but Jingnan's power will inevitably collapse.
It’s never too late to make amends!
Liu Zhang stood up directly, his face full of anger.
"solitary..."
"Qin Gong, please calm down for now!"
Jia Xu spoke quickly, interrupting Liu Zhang's decision that was about to be announced.
"The current situation in Jingzhou is very complicated, and it is not the best time to enter the situation!"
"Old minister, I kindly ask Duke Qin to wait for a while before making a decision!"
If someone else made the comment, Liu Zhang would immediately refute it.
But it was Jia Xu who forced Liu Zhang to think carefully.
With Jia Xu's character, he must have learned some news or noticed some unusual trends.
But thinking about Pang Tong's once handsome figure, he now had several arrows in his body and was lying on the bed uncertain about his life or death.
Liu Zhang couldn't restrain the anger in his heart.
"Wen He, although I don't know why Pang Tong suddenly sent troops, I can guess a thing or two."
"The road from Yufu to Jiangling is covered by mountains and jungles, and is full of dangerous passes that are easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"Shi Yuan must have taken risks in order to open up a path for the Eastern Army to attack in the future."
"Pang Tong went to danger for Gu Gu, how could Gu just sit back and watch him get hit with several arrows and remain indifferent?"
Jia Xu was slightly startled. He didn't expect Liu Zhang and Pang Tong to have such a deep relationship.
"Mr. Qin, if a sneak attack cannot succeed, it means Liu Bei's army must be prepared!"
"If we act hastily, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to avenge Pang Tong, but we will also cause more and greater losses..."
The civil and military officials on both sides nodded in agreement. In such a dangerous terrain, I am afraid that many armies would die in it!
Especially when Pang Shiyuan ended up like this even in a sneak attack, let alone a frontal attack?
Liu Zhang shook his head, having completely different opinions on this.
"Wen He, now a war breaks out in Jingnan and Jingbei, and Cai Mao's 50,000-strong army is not just a display!"
"If Liu Bei wants to defeat Cai Mao, he will definitely need to mobilize heavy troops, but how many troops does Jingnan have?"
"I must seize this opportunity and completely open the road to Nanjun!"
If Liu Bei wants to destroy Cai Mao, he will definitely not be able to perfectly defend Zigui and Yiling.
In addition, Liu Bei had just won a small victory, so he must have been mentally relaxed.
Liu Zhang knew clearly how tragic the Battle of Yiling was in history.
As long as you are prepared, there is almost no possibility of defeating the enemy head-on.
No matter how you look at it, this is a rare opportunity!
"I still feel that it is not advisable to act rashly. I ask Mr. Qin to think again."
Jia Xu just stated his position and did not make a desperate remonstrance.
This made Liu Zhang somewhat undecided.
Jia Xu had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, and almost never did anything he said wouldn't work.
Liu Zhang turned to look at Xun You, wanting to see if he supported him.
It's a pity, Xun You shook his head slightly.
The two most powerful wise men in Qin State both opposed it!
