Chapter 326 Zhang Fei also became the emperor’s uncle.

Chapter 326: Zhang Fei also became the emperor’s uncle.

Between Hanzhong and Bashu, there are high mountains and steep forests.

Jianmen Pass stands here.

Although this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there is a saying that one man can guard the pass against ten thousand men, Liu Wu still deployed 5,000 soldiers here.

The general who led this army and guarded Jianmen Pass was none other than the good third uncle of the current crown prince of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yide from Yan.

The key point,

A large man was sleeping soundly, leaning against the wall, holding a Zhangba Snake Spear.

The news he received was that Liu Wu had already marched eastward, recruited troops from various directions and marched into the Central Plains, starting the final decisive battle with Cao Mengde.

At such a critical moment, there is naturally no room for any mistakes.

There cannot be any variables.

Jiangdong had already been firmly under control. The only one that made people most worried was Liu Bei in Bashu. Liu Xuande now also had an army of 100,000...

We must not let Liu Bei ruin Liu Wu’s plans!
Zhang Yide was extremely concerned about this and would go up to the checkpoint five or six times a day, and sometimes he would just sleep at the checkpoint.

thump~
thump~
Ta-da! ~
The sound of hurried footsteps was heard. Zhang Yide, who was usually rough on the outside but careful on the inside, opened his eyes slowly and calmly when he heard the noise. "What do you want to tell me?"

The guard who came over bowed and handed over a cloth bag, saying, "There are two bamboo slips in it, both from Xudu."

Xudu?

Zhang Fei shuddered violently, jumped up, grabbed it directly, and opened the cloth bag impatiently.

Two bamboo slips,

All have ink.

One copy was given by Liu Wu to Zhang Fei.

The other one was given by Emperor Liu Xie to Liu Bei.

He put the one for Liu Bei under his armpit, picked up the one for himself, and knocked it hard on the battlement twice. The ink was shaken off, whoosh~
The bamboo slips were suddenly spread out...

Zhang Yide stared at it intently, and as he read, his dark face became redder and he could not suppress the corners of his mouth.

"Okay, what's the use of the Yinluo defense line? Hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops are useless. They can be broken just by saying so!"

"Cao Mengde retreated to Hebei, and Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou were all in his hands?!"

"Fuck, this is four whole states..."

"The emperor has appointed my eldest nephew as the crown prince. He will ascend the throne soon and inherit the throne..."

"it is good!"

"OK!!"

After reading it, Zhang Yide was overjoyed: "Our nephew is going to ascend the throne!"

"Hahaha!"

He roared from the top of the city wall,
How could the soldiers not know who Zhang Yide’s nephew was?
For a moment, the entire Jianmen Pass became excited.

Zhang Yide pointed at them and said, "We are not guarding Jianmen for Hanzhong, nor are we guarding Jianmen for the King of Chu. We are guarding Jianmen for the Emperor of Han! Hahahaha..."

"My nephew has become the emperor, so Old Zhang can be considered the emperor's uncle."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Fei laughed loudly, walked down the pass, led a horse, and was about to leave Jianmen.

"General, you are the commander-in-chief, how can you go out so easily?" General Pi next to him couldn't help but remind him.

Zhang Yide asked, "What did you call me?"

General Pi was stunned: "Ah..."

Zhang Yide waved his whip and threatened, "You have been with me for quite some time, but to this day, you are not even willing to call me your uncle?!"

General Pi finally understood and said directly: "Jianmen is now guarded by the emperor's uncle, so the emperor's uncle must not rashly enter Shu!"

"It's easy to get into Shu, but hard to get out."

Zhang Yide smiled: "We know."

Then he patted the bamboo slips in the bag and said, "But there is an imperial decree in it. We must go there in person. You can go and select one or two hundred riders and tell them to go with us."

Seeing that he could not dissuade the enemy, General Pi had no choice but to agree.

……

...Chengdu,

The grass has withered, the autumn wind has died down, and the air is slightly chilly.

Winter is coming.

Jinguan City is no longer covered with flowers.

Ever since the last attack on Hanzhong failed, news came that Liu Wu was heading east to have a decisive battle with Cao Mengde. The whole of Bashu was waiting for Liu Bei's response.

All parties have placed their bets.

The Southern Xiongnu escorted Cao Cao.

Jiangdong took Liu Wu into custody.

Of course, the world would not know that in the end Cao Cao secretly bet on Liu Wu without telling anyone.

All parties were moving, except Bashu, where there was no movement.

The last time we attacked Jianmen Pass, there were not many casualties. Liu Bei withdrew his troops as soon as he saw Zhang Fei.

This actually makes many people secretly unhappy.

Today, Liu Xuande can be said to have a strong army, with an army of 100,000 from Bashu and 5,000 rattan-armored soldiers from the southern barbarians at his disposal.

At this juncture, even if Jianmen Pass cannot be taken, sending a troop of troops eastward along the Yangtze River to attack Jingnan is also an option.

But Liu Bei did nothing...

To the extent that the atmosphere of the entire Chengdu seems so lifeless in this early winter.

In the Shu Palace,
Liu Xuande looked depressed as he flipped through a letter sent from the Central Plains, which was written to him by Zhuge Liang some time ago.

It is very clear that the Han Dynasty now rests completely on Liu Wu's shoulders.

Liu Bei can no longer be regarded as the rebellious son of the past...

What Liu Huangshu couldn't do, Liu Huangdi did.

After all, you are his biological father. If you don't make him your enemy, he won't be your enemy.

Many things are over and done with. We should consider the overall situation and the world of the Han Dynasty.

"What can I do..." Liu Xuande folded the letter and sighed, "Kong Ming has said so, what else can I do?"

Fa Zheng beside him said, "I deeply agree with what Kong Ming said."

"My lord, do you still remember how you became the Lord of Bashu? You must know that Chengdu City is huge. At that time, there were still 50,000 elite soldiers in the city, and there was sufficient food and grass. Our attacking troops were not even as many as the defenders in the city..."

When Liu Bei mentioned this, he felt a little embarrassed: "Wasn't it the strategy you proposed that allowed us to capture Chengdu without wasting a single soldier?"

Fa Zheng asked again: "May I ask, lord, what strategy did I offer at that time?"

Liu Bei's face was not looking good anymore. He waved his sleeves and said, "I just borrowed Liu Wu's power to coax the gate of Chengdu open."

then,

Liu Bei followed Fa Zheng's strategy and spread rumors that Liu Bei and his son Liu Wu had reconciled and that Liu Bei attacked Bashu to help Liu Wu.

Liu Zhang, many soldiers and generals, and even the common people in the city, were frightened when they heard the title of King of Chu. They dared not resist and simply opened the city gates and surrendered.

"My lord, the King of Chu is now at the peak of his power. Is there anyone in this world who can do anything to you?"

"Even though there were many things that were unclear and hard to explain before, it is true that everyone in the world is afraid of the King of Chu and is wary of you, my Lord."

"My Lord, do you understand what I mean?"

When Fa Zheng finished speaking, Liu Xuande looked at him angrily and said, "I already understood this principle a long time ago. I don't need Xiao Zhi to teach me."

These doors and gates,

This made Liu Xuande feel very aggrieved.

A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?

Besides, that person...

Whenever I think of the breakup, every time I fought with Liu Wu, Liu Wu's attitude towards me, and those subordinates I had served under for many years...

That man was her eldest son, whom she had always looked down upon, but he had taken away everything from her and would beat and kill her at will. But now she had to rely on his reputation to survive...

Liu Xuande felt so helpless.

At this moment, someone in armor and holding a sword rushed in: "Father!"

It was the current Prince of Nanzhong, Liu Feng: "Father, Third Uncle is here!"
