: It’s like Sun Wu is resurrected, it’s like Liu Hou is still alive

The wars became more and more frequent, and the Zhou army's intentions became more and more obvious, at least Meng Chang thought so.

Men, especially the monarch of a country, Meng Chang is also very good at mapping and opening up borders.

Before Sun Hanshao's military report arrived, Meng Chang had already made a judgment in his mind. Now as soon as Sun Hanshao's military report arrived, Meng Chang suddenly felt confident.

I can't help but feel a little complacent in my heart that the number one general in Shu is on the same level as him.

"Master Zhou is quite capable this time. He knows that Shu is not a small country like Nanping or Nanchu, so he chooses to seek safety by attacking Xingyuan Mansion first, and does not dare to take the risk of taking the Qishan Road to make a desperate move.

However, the Art of War says that any warrior must use the right combination to win by surprise.

The Zhou army was only upright but without any surprises, so it lost the meaning of Sun Wuzi's saying: "The one who is good at making surprises is as endless as the heaven and the earth, and as endless as the rivers and seas."

As Meng Chang spoke, his face almost jumped out with a dazed look. He knew it was Meng Chang, but he didn't know he thought Sun Wu was possessed and left the marquis alive.

And Wang Zhaoyuan, who was beside Meng Chang, had the same virtue as him. He nodded frequently with a thin white face like Lord Rabbit, and looked like Zhuge Zhiliang, all he needed was a goose feather fan in his hand.

The virtue of this master and servant does not mean that Zhang Hao has some ability. This is completely self-praising.

Zhao Tingyin heard the veins popping up on his forehead. He looked at Meng Chang's face that wanted to laugh but deliberately held back. He wanted to go up and slap Meng Chang to the ground, and then spit thick phlegm in his face.

Soldiers, important matters of the country, the place of life and death, the way of survival, the most dangerous things in the world. Behind every light number, there is a huge weight. How can it be regarded as a joke and used in such a light way?

Brag!

That Zhou Zhuangzhao started his career with only an old servant who was a troublemaker. In the past sixteen years, he had traveled tens of thousands of miles and dominated the world. He was a more powerful figure than Zhu Quanzhong and Emperor Zhuangmiao. Is it possible that he would not make surprises?

?

Regardless of the slow pace of Zhou's unification of the world, it was because the Lord of Zhou did not have the opportunity of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty to take advantage of the world to punish Qin, nor did he have the family background and reputation of Emperor Taizong Wen.

He rose up from the bottom completely and suddenly. His uncle, the King of Jin, whom he relied on for help, was just a small king in the Western Regions, so he felt as if he was already old despite his achievements.

But in fact, the rise of Lord Zhou from the borderlands is already very legendary when there is no good wind to borrow from when he started from scratch.

Zhao Tingyin knew how terrifying this kind of person was, and there was no way he could only attack Xingyuan Mansion. However, Zhao Tingyin couldn't guess where the Emperor Zhou's next move would come from.

But he still decided to advise that troops from anywhere could be mobilized, but the troops from Xingzhou (Lueyang County, Shaanxi Province) to Lizhou (Guangyuan, Sichuan) must not be mobilized. He even had to increase the number of troops at Motian Ridge on Yinping Road to guard against the Zhou Dynasty.

The army will probably learn from Deng Ai.

But as soon as he turned around, Zhao Tingyin looked at his son Zhao Chongtao's extremely anxious expression.

Seeing that Zhao Tingyin noticed him, Zhao Chongtao shook his head repeatedly.

Zhao Tingyin knew what his son was afraid of. Meng Chang was originally dissatisfied with them, veterans of Meng Zhixiang's period. Zhao Tingyin thought Meng Chang just wanted to imprison Zhang Ye, but he did not expect that Meng Chang ended up killing Zhang Ye's entire family for more than 70 years.

Even babies under the age of 10 were not spared.

Almost all of the three thousand dead soldiers recruited by Zhang Ye were executed. Even the Suizhou Wuding Army who followed Zhang Ye had more than a hundred tooth soldiers killed together.

Meng Chang's disgust for these veterans was almost palpable.

If Zhao Tingyin still rushes forward on his own now, who knows if Meng Chang has buried hundreds of swordsmen and axemen in Xuanhua Palace.

Who dares to say that Meng Chang can kill Zhang Ye, but he cannot kill Zhao Tingyin.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tingyin felt completely despaired.

Originally, he was disgusted with Zhang Ye, because he was indeed arrogant and domineering and even rebellious, but Meng Chang's rough treatment and cruelty hurt the heart of such an old minister, and also made him feel a little bit like others are hurting others.

Although Meng Chang was smiling proudly, he was actually secretly observing the faces of everyone in the palace, so Meng Chang could clearly see the flash of anger and disgust on Zhao Tingyin's face.

Originally, he had preferred to let Zhao Tingyin lead the troops to rescue him, and he also knew that it was most appropriate for Zhao Tingyin to go. However, Zhao Tingyin's expression just now flashed through Meng Chang's mind.

This old guy, if he is allowed to lead the troops to repel the Zhou army this time, he will not know how to embarrass himself after returning to the court.

Good guy! Before the Zhou army really started to attack, Meng Chang thought that he had a chance to win, and he felt that he had guessed all Zhang Yan's plans.

This feeling of being able to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away made Meng Chang unconsciously think that since he was so wise and powerful, he could send anyone to retreat from the Zhou army.

Seeing that Meng Chang was really hesitating, Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes lit up. He looked directly at Meng Chang with an expression of "choose me, choose me, choose me quickly." He almost wanted to recommend himself on the spot.

The reason why Wang Zhaoyuan wanted to go to the battlefield so much was because Meng Chang still had a desire to take advantage of the troubled times to compete in the world. Naturally, he liked to express this idea to Wang Zhaoyuan, who was close to him.

He often sighed that he, Meng Shengren, was so wise and powerful, but he didn't have a great talent like King Zhuge Wuning to assist him.

If he had a great talent like Wu Hou under his command, he would have to go out to Qishan seven times instead of just one.

If the superiors do something good, the subordinates will imitate it. Meng Chang often expressed this, which made Wang Zhaoyuan, who mostly read without asking for detailed explanations, become very interested in being a minister like Zhuge Wuhou.

Of course, it's also because Wang Zhaoyuan still has such a small advantage. It is obvious that with his physical condition, Guan Yunchang and Zhao Zilong will definitely not be able to defeat six generals through five levels, seven in and seven out.

But I think Zhuge Wuhou was a scholar, so he might be similar to him.

Wang Zhaoyuan looked at himself in white clothes. His fingers were green as white as jade, his nose was high and his eyes were big. He walked like a fairy. Zhuge Wuhou must have looked like this, so that he could have the temperament to defeat millions of soldiers with a smile.

Well.

However, Meng Chang still knows the difference. He does not doubt Wang Zhaoyuan's ability. On the contrary, because they often chat together, Meng Chang feels that Wang Zhaoyuan is a great talent.

But he knew that Wang Zhaoyuan had never been on the battlefield, so it was not appropriate to directly delegate such an important task.

So Meng Chang turned his attention to the veteran Shi Kai. Since he didn't want to send Zhao Tingyin, only Shi Kai was more suitable.

However, Shi Kai was also a representative of the old ministers, so Meng Chang thought about it and decided to recruit some new people.

"Deploy 10,000 troops from the Fengsheng, Yisheng, and Dingyuan armies, 15,000 troops from the Imperial Palace, and 5,000 barbarian troops from the three states of Lu, Rong, and Rong to reinforce Shannan Road."

The Fengsheng, Yisheng, and Dingyuan armies were three of the six imperial armies established during the Meng Zhixiang period.

The three prefectures of Lu, Rong, and Rong were Luzhou, Yibin, and Zigong in later generations. Except for Rongzhou and Zigong, which was relatively prosperous due to its salt, the other two places were still a bit remote at this time.

The common feature of the three states is that they are home to a large number of warlike ethnic minorities. The separatist regimes that have always occupied the Shu region like to recruit them as soldiers, and Meng Shu is no exception.

The fourth grade of the palace was the imperial army established during the Meng Chang period, and was selected from the sons of generals and the orphans of those who died in the king's affairs.

The fourth division was led by Li Jihong, the son of Li Renhan, an important minister of Meng Shu, Zhao Yuanzhen, the son of Zhao Jiliang, Zhang Jizhao, the son of Zhang Ye, Hou Lingqin, the son of Hou Hongshi, and Zhao Chongtao, the son of Zhao Tingyin.

But now, Li Renhan and Zhang Ye have been killed by Meng Chang, and of course Li Jihong and Zhang Jizhao have also been killed. Zhao Yuanzhen went out to take control of the feudal town.

Therefore, at this time, there were four divisions in the Meng Shu Palace, two of which were in the hands of Hou Lingqin and Zhao Chongtao. The remaining two divisions were ostensibly commanded by Meng Chang himself, but were actually controlled by Wang Zhaoyuan instead of Meng Chang.

The guards of the Sixth Army, who were like the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, had long been abolished by Meng Chang, and the military power of the Forbidden Army such as Yisheng and Dingyuan had long been taken back. It can be said that to some extent, Meng Chang and Zhang Yan are quite similar.

.

However, Zhang Hao had the courage and corresponding abilities to make the decision, but Meng Chang was not very well prepared for these three things.

Coupled with his noble birth, he never went down to the lowest level to take a look. As a result, Meng Chang was able to engage in political struggles, but when it came to micro-managing everything, Meng Chang was about the same as Zhang Chang.

A Guo Rong is not on the same level at all.

Of course, it's just much lower, not nothing. It's idiots like Ma Xiguang and Liu Chengyou who have nothing.

For example, this time, after it was decided to reinforce Xingyuan Mansion, Meng Chang was very decisive.

Once these 30,000 men were mobilized, Meng Chang was left with only the Xiaorui, Feichu, and Yining armies.

Moreover, because these three armies were established during the Meng Zhixiang era and were purged after the deaths of Li Renhan and Zhang Ye, they are said to be three armies, but in fact they only have about 7,000 people, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the 30,000 people who were transferred.

It can be said that once the target is determined, Meng Chang is still willing to go ahead and his actions are not sloppy at all.

He appointed the veteran general Shi Kai as the commander of the southwest camp, Wang Zhaoyuan as the supervisor (supervisor of the army), Li Tinggui as the forward recruiting envoy, Zhao Chongtao and Han Baozheng as the deputy recruiting envoys, and led an army of 30,000, together with tens of thousands of civilians, known as the Twenty

Ten thousand troops went to support Sun Hanshao in Xingyuan Prefecture.

When the army set off, Meng Chang specially summoned Wang Zhaoyuan to his side, "Today's teacher is the one you have summoned. Please do your best for me!"

Leading an army to conquer the world and achieve hegemony has always been what these two warrior saints like to do most.

As for the actual arrangement of the army, the veteran general Shi Kai, who was the commander of the camp, was actually just a tool man, and the power was still in the hands of the supervisor Wang Zhaoyuan.

The Forbidden Army has been guarding the capital and even the palace. Who should Shi Kai and Wang Zhaoyuan listen to? They are well-connected.

Of course Meng Chang also understood, so he had high hopes for Wang Zhaoyuan, hoping that Wang Zhaoyuan could make great achievements and really become a Zhuge Wuhou, so that Meng Chang could see hope.

After being encouraged, Meng Chang also asked the Prime Minister to arrange a banquet with Li Hao, the disciple of Zhongshu, to honor Wang Zhaoyuan.

During the dinner, Wang Zhaoyuan was very proud and drunk. He felt that Meng Shu's 30,000 elite soldiers should be invincible in the world, because Wang Zhaoyuan had never seen soldiers more powerful and fierce than them.

Immediately, this guy who had been the emperor's servant for more than ten years had just escaped from Meng Chang's control, and he didn't know how many bowls of food he should eat.

Wang Zhaoyuan actually held Tie Ruyi in his hand, rudely hugged Li Hao's shoulders, and said with drunken eyes: "My trip is more than just defeating the enemy. I will lead these 20,000 to 30,000 carved-faced evil boys to capture the Central Plains like the palm of my hand!"

Li Hao was furious at first, because Wang Zhaoyuan was just a petty sycophant, and it was very rude to block the Prime Minister's shoulders. However, after listening to Wang Zhaoyuan's words, Li Hao was already dumbfounded.

He looked at Wang Zhaoyuan's expression of wanting to reach up to the sky and embrace the moon. He opened and closed his mouth twice, and suddenly remembered what his son Li Xiaofeng said to him after returning from Zhou Kingdom. Li Hao suddenly decided to keep silent.

"The late Emperor and I had the kindness of promotion and important use, but I have repaid the favor by assisting the young master conscientiously for twelve years. It is impossible to end up with a family of more than fifty people for the Meng family's separatist country." Li Haoleng

I thought coldly.

.....

In the Han Mansion in the north of the city, Han Baosheng is anxiously waiting for the arrival of his brother Han Baozheng.

The Han brothers were originally from Luzhou, but their parents died during the war. The grown-up Han Baozheng, in order to survive, took his younger siblings to join the army of Meng Zhixiang, who was left behind in Taiyuan at the time.

Han Baozheng was brave and good at fighting and always took the lead in every battle. He soon gained the respect of Meng Zhixiang and was taken as his personal attendant.

After that, the Meng family entered Shu, and Han Baozheng also rose through the ranks. After Meng Chang succeeded to the throne, he became the military commander when he went outside, and controlled the imperial army when he went inside.
