Just as the battle in Yuzhang County was in full swing, Yufucheng in Bajun, Yizhou welcomed the most noble person in the entire Qin Kingdom.
Qin Gong Liu Zhang!
After all, he was worried about Pang Tong and the Eastern Army, so he handed over the government affairs of the court to Jia Xu. After Xun You, Liu Zhang entered Shu.
The only people who came with Liu Zhang were Dian Wei, the general on the right, and five thousand veterans of the military guard camp.
As for the formation and training of the Imperial Guard, it can only be entrusted to Xu Huang, the general who conquered the west, and Gao Shun, the general who conquered the south.
Liu Zhang's march into Shu from Chang'an was not very smooth, and he encountered opposition from many ministers.
In particular, Jia Xu and Xun You tried their best to dissuade Liu Zhang from being patient for a while.
For a time, Liu Zhang gave up his thoughts of going to Shu. After all, he couldn't let go of his beloved wife Zhen Mi.
The news that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had invaded Yuzhang County made Liu Zhang completely unable to control his thoughts and immediately led his army into Shu.
It is not very easy to face the Jingzhou forces alone.
But to provoke a war between Sun and Liu, this time is perfect!
In particular, Liu Bei was looking for death. He was not satisfied with taking Xiangyang and dared to attack Yuzhang himself!
Kuai Liang and Huang Zu were in Xinye, Zhou Yu and Lu Meng were in Jiangxia, and Sun Quan was in charge in Jiangdong.
Once Liu Zhang goes to Yufu in person and connects all the people, he can form a three-sided attack on Liu Bei!
Even if Zhuge Liang has the power to reach heaven, he will still be unable to defeat four hands with his two fists.
Therefore, on the day he received the news, Liu Zhang made the decision to enter Shu.
Taking only Dian Wei and five thousand people will not cause any wavering in Guanzhong.
Seeing Liu Zhang's persistence and the current panic among the Eastern Army, Jia Xu and Xun You finally approved Liu Zhang's decision to enter Shu.
Without any delay along the way, Liu Zhang ordered the entire army to march at full speed, and they must reach Yufu before the end of the battle between Sun and Liu.
Facts have proved that Liu Zhang underestimated Sun Quan and Liu Bei's determination to compete for Yuzhang County.
For more than a month, Chai Sang was still in Guan Yu's hands, and the two sides were still fighting to the death!
When Liu Zhang led his army to Yufu, generals of all levels of the Eastern Army were already waiting at the city gate to greet him.
In just over half a year, no one has changed much, but the only thing that makes Liu Zhang feel depressed is the momentum.
Although the generals tried their best to restrain themselves, there was still a deep sadness in their brows.
Even former general Huang Zhong has lost his former glory.
What Liu Zhang couldn't understand the most was that Gan Ning, as the commander of the navy, looked very depressed!
You won’t know until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it!
Only then did Liu Zhang know how big a blow Pang Tong's defeat had to the Eastern Army!
"Cheer up, you are all generals in the army, what will the soldiers think when they see this!"
Listening to Liu Zhang's roar, all the generals lowered their heads in shame.
This scene made Liu Zhang even more angry.
"Keep your head up!"
"This is just a small failure, too small to be worth mentioning!"
"You are all generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. Can't you even bear this little setback?"
Liu Zhang cursed the generals in his mouth, but in his heart he was confused.
what is going on?
It actually damaged morale like this!
Even the general is like this, so you can imagine what happened to the soldiers.
At this moment, the most unruly Gan Ning stood up regardless of the obstruction of the generals around him.
"Mr. Qin, please forgive Gan Ning for being rude!"
It happened that Liu Zhang wanted to hear the reason, so he nodded slightly.
"Say it, I forgive you!"
Gan Ning's anger welled up, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"The big-eared thief and Zhuge villagers deceived people too much, but Qin Gong didn't let the Eastern Army avenge Commander Pang!"
"That's why it looks like this now. If the soldiers have no fighting spirit, they will have no fighting spirit!"
Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard this and quickly stepped forward to scold him.
"Xingba, don't be so arrogant and still refuse to back down!"
Gan Ning was indifferent to Huang Zhong's scolding and still had an angry expression on his face.
If Liu Zhang can no longer see that there is a problem, then he is not worthy of being Duke of Qin.
"Han Sheng, it's okay!"
After first calming Huang Zhong and telling him not to be nervous, Liu Zhang quickly turned to look at Gan Ning.
"Xingba, you also participated in the first court meeting. The policy set by the Qin State is to wait for the Eastern Army to be at its peak before advancing eastward."
"If Guanzhong is revived by then, we can cooperate with the Eastern Army to move south from Wuguan and attack Jingzhou from both sides."
"This time Pang Tong's injury was just an accident. Is it necessary to change the order overnight and ruin the national policy?"
Gan Ning's face was tangled. After much thought, he nodded helplessly.
"What Duke Qin said is absolutely true. The general also understands Duke Qin's difficulties!"
"But every time I think about the faces of the big-eared thieves and Zhuge villagers, the general can't wait to lead his army to Jiangling immediately!"
Liu Zhang frowned slightly, Gan Ning had already mentioned Big Ear Thief and Zhuge Villager twice!
According to previous intelligence, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already gone to Changsha when Pang Tong was ambushed.
Judging from the current results, there is no deception.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang went south for Yuzhang County.
Even if Zhuge Liang planned to ambush Pang Tong, he wouldn't make Gan Ning hate him like this, right?
Liu Zhang scanned the generals again and found that they all agreed with Gan Ning's words and had deep resentment towards Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
"Xingba, could it be that the morale of the Eastern Army is low because Gu ordered not to let the Eastern Army move lightly?"
Gan Ning did not hide it, he immediately nodded and admitted.
"What Mr. Qin said is absolutely true!"
"After Commander Pang and General Wei were sent back, the generals wanted to send troops eastward to avenge Commander Pang and General Wei!"
"It was General Huang who kept stopping us, preventing us from acting rashly, and asking us to wait for orders from Chang'an."
"Brothers waited and waited, and finally received the order from Duke Qin to stand still..."
If he didn't know the generals of the Eastern Army and Gan Ning's character very well, Liu Zhang would even wonder if these people in front of him were acting!
The Eastern Army was formed less than a year ago, and these generals had just worked together. How could they have such deep feelings?
Pang Tong and Wei Yan were injured, so the generals couldn't help but fight for Liu Bei?
Or are these people like each other and all become brothers with different surnames?
No matter what, Liu Zhang could not support this kind of disobedience to military orders.
"Don't be angry and lead to war! If anger triggers a war at any time, the final result will definitely be failure!"
"Xingba, you are the commander-in-chief of the navy, and you are responsible for the lives of 50,000 navy troops!"
"Is it possible that you don't understand this truth? Do you still want to act out of emotion?"
"What Huang Zhong did is right!"
