Accompanied by Huang Zhong, Liu Zhang checked on Pang Tong and Wei Yan respectively.
Pang Tong was more seriously ill than described. His body was wrapped in herbal cloth and he has not woken up yet.
Liu Zhang carefully touched Pang Tong's body temperature and found no signs of fever.
This also shows that Pang Tong's wound was treated in a timely manner and there was no sign of infection.
Pang Tong is young and must be relatively strong. Recovery should be only a matter of time.
After coming out of the house, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
I hope that this catastrophe will not die, but it also heralds Pang Tong's rebirth from nirvana, rising from the ashes and transforming into a real phoenix!
Afterwards, Liu Zhang went to Wei Yan's residence.
Compared to Pang Tong, Wei Yan's condition is obviously much better.
Because he was wearing armor, the arrows did not penetrate deep into the flesh, and most of them were superficial injuries.
And compared to Pang Tong who was unconscious, Wei Yan seemed more alive and energetic.
It has to be said that Wei Yan was born as a refugee. He has endured all kinds of hardships since he was a child. He probably has done anything like farming!
Although the skin is not rough and the flesh is thick, the physique is far from that of Pang Tong, who has fine skin and tender flesh.
If the arrow wound on his back hadn't healed, Wei Yan might have gone to the city gate to greet Liu Zhang.
When he heard that Liu Zhang was preparing to raise troops to avenge the two men, Wei Yan burst into tears of gratitude and asked Liu Zhang to take him there.
Wei Yan is indeed a war madman, and he still wants to go into battle to kill the enemy even though he is like this!
Liu Zhang comforted Wei Yan with kind words for a while, allowing Wei Yan to rest and wait for his body to recover before discussing the expedition.
Wei Yan was unwilling in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey Liu Zhang's order at all.
I can only surrender and pray for a speedy recovery.
Three days later, Liu Zhang formally summoned the generals of the Eastern Army in Yufu to discuss the attack on Jingzhou.
Former general Huang Zhong and general Zhang Liao led the expedition, including Zhang Ren, Meng Da, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Zhu Meng and others all participated.
This is the first time that there are no masterminds participating in the parliament, and all the members are generals.
The Yufu County Government Office was definitely not as good as the Chang'an Imperial Palace. With everyone gathered inside, it seemed extremely crowded.
However, this feeling also made Liu Zhang feel as if he had gone back to many years ago when he had held such meetings in the county offices of various counties.
"Everyone, Liu Bei pretends to be a member of the Han clan and deceives. He is cunning and cunning, and he plots against others all day long."
"First it was Tao Qian and Cao Cao, then Liu Qi and Liu Biao! After years of planning, Liu Bei finally got the five counties of Jingzhou!"
"I thought Liu Bei would stay in Jingzhou, but I didn't expect that he would dare to make plans for the lonely military advisor!"
"Whether we can endure it or not, I decided to raise an army to attack the big-eared bandits and avenge Commander Pang and General Wei!"
The generals were immediately shocked and all became excited.
If it was a commitment before, there is still a chance to delay it.
So today's official announcement means that the advance is confirmed, and there is no possibility of going back.
"I respectfully obey Duke Qin's orders!"
Feeling the roars of all the generals, Liu Zhang knew how eager they were to wait for this order.
"You are commendable for your courage, but don't underestimate Liu Bei."
"Liu Bei today is no longer the lost dog he was a few years ago."
"The five counties in Jingzhou under his command have more than one million soldiers and civilians, and they have become our formidable enemies!"
"The generals are summoned today to discuss how to advance the army."
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, no one has the courage to take the initiative to speak.
Liu Zhang kept scanning the crowd without looking anxious.
After all, he is not a mastermind, but a wise man is still not so happy when talking about the army plan.
Not long after, Zhang Liao, the general who conquered the east, took the lead to stand up.
"To report to Duke Qin, I have some foolish opinions!"
"Wen Yuan can speak out!"
Liu Zhang gave Zhang Liao an encouraging look.
Compared with others, Zhang Liao has the talent of commander.
"Now that Liu Bei has just captured Nanjun, he personally leads an army to compete with Jiangdong Sun Quan for Yuzhang. It seems that he is in the limelight for a while, but in fact it is already full of dangers!"
"Sun Quan's 50,000-strong army in Yuzhang County has dragged Liu Bei into the quagmire of war, and neither side is willing to give in."
"Jiangxia County has just been occupied by Zhou Yu. This man has great ambitions and is extremely capable of commanding troops. He not only keeps an eye on the situation in Yuzhang County, but also keeps an eye on Nan County!"
"I heard that Zhou Yu always wants to capture Nanjun and expand territory for Jiangdong!"
"There is also a coalition of Jingzhou families in Xinye south of the Han River. I heard that Huang Zu also led the Jiangxia army there, threatening Xiangyang at all times!"
"If Qin Gong can form an alliance with Sun Quan and send people to connect Kuai Liang and Huang Zu, Zhou Yu can attack the east side of Nanjun, and the family's army can attack Xiangyang."
"At this time, we are leading the land and water armies to advance together, and we will definitely make it difficult for Nan County to look after it!"
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Liao's thoughts were surprisingly consistent with his.
It was precisely after seeing the key to besieging Liu Bei from all sides that Liu Zhang persuaded Jia Xu and Xun You to come to Yufu in person.
"Wen Yuan's plan is very suitable for Gu Yi!"
"I wonder if there is anything the general would like to add?"
The generals looked at each other again, with no intention of commenting.
Zhang Liao's strategy is already perfect, and only the execution stage is left.
At this moment, a figure walked out, beyond everyone's expectations.
The Yiman Zhonglang general Zhu Meng.
"For Duke Qin, Zhu Meng has an idea. I wonder if I can tell him."
Zhu Meng had been working under Liu Zhang for many years, and most of his brutality had receded.
But speaking and doing things are still inevitably a bit habitual.
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, but he didn't expect this barbarian to have a plan!
"Say it!"
"Mr. Qin, there is a branch of our barbarian tribe in Wuling Mountain. I heard that a previous branch was suppressed by Jingzhou officials."
"The scale of this barbarian group is not small, there are millions of people, and it is said that there is a barbarian king."
"If we can convince the Wuling barbarians to launch an attack, I think they will become powerful allies!"
Zhu Meng didn't know whether his proposal was right or not, and he was still a little uneasy.
"hiss...!"
Liu Zhang took a breath. If Zhu Meng hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten the existence of Wuxi Man!
Previously, I had been focusing on Nanjun Jiangling and almost forgot about the huge group in Wulingjun.
Historically, when Liu Bei launched the Battle of Yiling, he also sent Ma Liang as an envoy to contact the Wuxi barbarians.
Although Ma Liang was killed in the end, it also caused a lot of trouble to Lu Xun.
If Wuxi Man can be persuaded to help in the battle, Nanjun will be surrounded on all sides!
Maybe one battle can completely overturn the pattern of Jingzhou!
"Zhu Meng, are you sure you can convince the barbarians in Wuling County?"
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Zhu Meng shook his head gently.
"Mr. Qin, I'm not sure, but I want to try!"
"After all, we are all barbarians, so it will be very convenient for us to communicate."
Liu Zhang couldn't help but smile, and was amused by Zhu Meng's honesty.
"Okay, Zhu Meng, I'll leave this matter to you!"
"You also know what Guo's policy is towards the barbarians!"
"As long as the barbarians in Wuling County are willing to help, they will be given preferential treatment if they take Jingzhou alone in the future!"
Zhu Meng was immediately overjoyed and felt even more confident.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Qin, I hope Meng will try his best!"
