Chapter 143
"Now that the war has just ended, there is nothing important to arrange. Just calm down and heal your injuries. After you heal your injuries, we will make plans!"
Du Huo shook his head, and didn't mention much about the follow-up plan.
"Here!"
Hearing this, Ma Chao glanced left and right, his eyes hovering over Huang Zhong and Wei Yan. Under the current situation, neither of them seemed to have any other opinions.
Du Huo wanted Ma Chao to recuperate from his injuries, and during this recuperation period, they were happy to be at leisure.
In their view, now that Hanzhong has been settled, even if they fight back to Xichuan in the future, it will not be completed overnight, so it is necessary to take a short rest.
However, what they don't know is that just when they thought they could have a little leisure time.
When Liu Zhang heard that Hanzhong was pacified, he immediately sent envoys to express his condolences.
When the envoy arrived at Hanzhong City, the siege of Hanzhong City had just passed three days.Those who came with him were Zhang Fei, Pang Tong and others.
It is said that since Du Huo led the army and left through the plank road.Pang Tong still hasn't stopped repairing the plank road.
As a result, after several days of construction, the plank road from Jiameng Pass to Nanzheng Pass has basically been repaired.
It is generally estimated that this plank road can already march normally, and the total carrying capacity can reach tens of thousands of people.
Liu Zhang's envoy on this trip was named Yang Huai, a general under Liu Zhang's command. He was very brave, but he was not an eloquent person.
Inside the palace hall.
Yang Huai said: "Duke Xuande has done a lot of hard work for Yizhou to eliminate the big trouble Zhang Lu.
My lord, in order to express my gratitude to Lord Xuande, I specially held a banquet in Fushui City to reward the army, and I also invite Lord Xuande to attend the meeting! "
"May I ask General Yang, is it all the generals or just me who are going to the banquet for your lord?" Du Huo asked.
"Reporting to Lord Xuande, my lord specially ordered that all generals be invited to the banquet together!" Yang Huai said.
"Oh... when is the time?" Du Huo asked again.
"The timing of the banquet is subject to Lord Xuande! I will prepare everything first in Fushui City and wait for Lord Xuande!" Yang Huai said.
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll leave for the banquet tomorrow! General, please report back to Fushui City first, and I will probably arrive tomorrow evening!" Du Huo decided.
"Here, I will retire at the end!"
After the goal was achieved, Yang Huai immediately bid farewell and left.
After Yang Huai left, the palace was silent as usual, and no one in the crowd showed any intention of leaving.
"Everyone, what's your attitude on this matter?" Du Huo leaned on his seat and asked the question for everyone to analyze.
Hearing this, Pang Tong, who has always been a resourceful man, took the lead and said: "My lord, we are still on good terms with Liu Zhang. Today Liu Zhang sent an envoy. Although I don't know the purpose, at least on the surface, he is sending me an envoy." The military shows goodwill!
In addition, my lord, you also agree to go to the banquet, so in my opinion, I am afraid that our army must go on this trip! "
"Military adviser, the general thinks that Liu Zhang has no good intentions! If not, he would not have sent assassins to assassinate the lord a few days ago!" Ma Chao interjected.
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing Ma Chao's words, Pang Tong subconsciously glanced at Du Huo, then turned to look at Ma Chaodao.
"Yes! Just a few days ago, and I fought against that assassin! It's a pity that he is dead now!" Ma Chao replied solemnly.
"Oh..." Pang Tong nodded thoughtfully at first, and then said with a smile on his face, "Since that's the case, the lord should go all the more!"
"Why?"
Hearing this, Du Huo couldn't help moving his body subconsciously, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Back to my lord!" Pang Tong turned around and faced Du Huo, "Since Liu Zhang has already planned to murder my lord, my lord needs to be more humble and benevolent. Only in this way can I show that my lord is a gentleman." , Liu Zhang is a villain."
"How about a villain? What about a gentleman?" Du Huo asked again.
"The villain will be spurned by the world, and the gentleman will be supported by the people. Now that Hanzhong has been settled, it is time for the lord to send troops to conquer Xichuan!" Pang Tong said.
"The conquest of Xichuan is inevitable, but I have not been able to determine the timing. Could it be that in the opinion of the military adviser, this is the best time to conquer Xichuan?"
In fact, Du Huo is very clear that Pang Tong's attitude is already evident enough.
Perhaps, as long as he nodded and made a decision, the matter could be completely settled.
However, before confirming this matter, Du Huo still had a little doubt.
And this trace of doubt is directly related to Pang Tong.
Conquering Xichuan meant that Pang Tong would die here, and now Pang Tong was standing in front of him alive, and he was still making suggestions for himself.
Thinking that he would die soon, Du Huo couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
However, Pang Tong didn't know what Du Huo was worried about. He even once thought that Du Huo was hesitant because of lack of confidence.
"My lord, now Liu Zhang's greed has been revealed. When the lord conquered Hanzhong, Liu Zhang never sent supplies to our army again, and we have sent people to ask for it again and again, but in the end we all failed. Nothing!
It can be seen from this that Liu Zhang clearly wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the power of our army, causing both our army and Zhang Lu to lose, so that he could reap the benefits of the fisherman!
In my opinion, the behavior of this villain is really despised by the world.I believe that as long as we publicize Liu Zhang's evil deeds to the world, we will immediately win the support of the people of Xichuan!
At that time, if you step on Xichuan and break through Chengdu, it will be a matter of your hands! "
Pang Tong made a thorough analysis of the current situation.
What he said now was not only for Du Huo to hear, but also for the generals present.
Based on his understanding of Du Huo, what Du Huo should be most afraid of is that his teacher will be unknown, so his words are for this expedition against Xichuan, to gain a reputation.
However, what he doesn't know is that the guy standing behind him and in charge of all the overall situation is no longer the Liu Bei who is based on benevolence and righteousness.
Previously, Du Huo didn't care about some unknown things, all he needed was victory in the battle and the recruitment of talents.
As for the others, he can discard them all.
"What the military adviser said is quite realistic! Everyone, what do you think?"
After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Du Huo did not express his opinion in a hurry, but evaded the matter first.
The generals in the palace will discuss it first.
"My lord, the general thinks that everything the military advisor said is reasonable, and the general agrees with the military advisor's suggestion!"
As soon as Du Huo said this, generals rushed to express their opinions, and the one who said this now was that warlike general who always talked about war, Wei Yan.
