Two months later, news of the success of the Southern Expedition Army came from all walks of life, and Chengdu was full of joy.

Zhang Liao and Lu Su's army divided into two groups, and Pan Feng led five thousand troops to attack the vassal state of Shu County. Zhang Liao, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan took Lu Su and Zheng Du as their military advisers, led an army of 30,000, and marched along the water from Bodao to Qian as their vassal state.

Lu Su plans to raid Zhu Ticheng, and Liu Zhang's army descends like a divine soldier!

Frightened and frightened, the few defenders of Zhu Ti surrendered without any resistance.

After pacifying Zhu Ti, Lu Su and Zheng Du had the same opinion. They both believed that soldiers should be quick, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of Yuexi County and Cang County to launch another surprise attack.

Leaving Yan Yan to lead the army to continue guarding Zhu Ti, and taking over the remaining two counties of Qianwei, Lu Su, Zhang Liao and their 10,000 men attacked Qiongdu, Yuexi County. Zheng Du and Zhang Ren led ten thousand people under their command to attack Qielan County.

At the same time, the Five Thousand Army led by Pan Feng directly raided Hanjia from Linqiong.

Han Jia was defenseless and was directly broken by Pan Feng!

Then Pan Fengbing divided into three groups to take Tuxian, Yandao and Yanniu.

In just two months, all the four counties of Shu County belonged to the country.

Shu County, Chengdu, State Shepherd's Mansion.

"Zi Yang, I didn't expect that it was Pan Feng who was the first to pacify a county!"

Liu Zhang was strolling in the State Shepherd's Mansion, and the frequent news of success made him very happy.

"My lord, it seems that General Pan's journey is not easy..."

During this period of time, Liu Ye has been learning about the experiences of all civil servants and generals in the Liu Zhang Group. Pan Feng, as the pioneer of the Southern Expedition, is naturally also within his focus.

Liu Zhang also patiently told Liu Ye some of Pan Feng's experiences.

From challenging Dianwei with a wooden ax in front of Hulao Pass, to returning to Liu Zhang and changing his mind, and finally saving Liu Zhang's life with his body in Langzhong!

It can be said that Pan Feng's growth is obvious to all. Although General Wushuang is a joke, Pan Feng has been working hard in this direction.

Maybe he can't reach this height in his whole life, but Pan Feng never gave up.

"Wu Shuang's talent is limited, so we can't have too much hope for him, so the key is to recruit according to his ability!"

Using the right talent in the right position is the talent Liu Zhang must have as a monarch, and he has been working hard to learn.

"Ziyang, it seems that the big clans in Cang County and Yuexi County are more aware of current affairs. I believe that it won't be long before the two counties will be completely under the rule."

Maybe it was because he thought too much about the difficulties before going out, so that Liu Zhang couldn't believe it was going well now.

I thought that the big clans of the two counties would unite with the Nanman to resist, but now it seems that there will be more than a month at most.

"My lord, there are Lu Su and Zheng Du in Nanzhong, so there shouldn't be any trouble. But..."

"What's the matter, Ziyang?"

Liu Zhang looked at Liu Ye strangely. Since he said that, he must have found something wrong.

"My lord, Bie Jia and I have learned more about the deployment of Yizhou during this period."

"Is there something missing?"

Liu Ye thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"That's right, my lord seems to be a little too reassured about Hanzhong."

Hanzhong County, if Liu Ye hadn't brought it up, he would have never cared about it for a long time.

Hanzhong County not only has 10,000 soldiers under the command of Yang Lin and Xia Hanlan's battalion of 5,000 soldiers, but also a battalion of Wuqi that has been forgotten.

With 16,000 troops and Guoyuan serving as the prefect, there is really nothing for Liu Zhang to pay attention to.

Perhaps the only time Liu Zhang thought about Hanzhong was to ask how much grain and grass had been produced!

"Zi Yang, what threat can there be in Hanzhong?"

"My lord, 300,000 troops can be raised at any time in the north of Hanzhong. After the three eastern counties are removed, the enemy can also go upstream along the Han River. Is it really enough to deploy only 16,000 people?"

Liu Zhang was slightly taken aback, he really hadn't thought about this question. Because in Liu Zhang's consciousness, Hanzhong will never be invaded by soldiers and horses!

"Zi Yang, are you worrying too much? Han Sui had sneaked into Hanzhong before, but in the end he was defeated and returned to Liangzhou in disgrace. It's been several years."

"The 300,000 troops you mentioned must include Li Jue and Guo Si, right? Why do they have any reason to provoke me? I'm afraid that they are already fighting for power in Chang'an at this time, and there may be a big fight!"

"As for the three counties of the East, that's even more impossible! Since the diversion of the Han River, the current is extremely fast. Without a strong navy, it is absolutely impossible to go upstream. Will Liu Biao attack us? Even if he does, it should be an attack. Bar?"

After thinking about it, Liu Zhang didn't think there was any danger in Hanzhong.

Although Hanzhong itself lacks troops and is surrounded by powerful enemies, Liu Zhang still feels that Hanzhong is impenetrable!

Liu Ye shook his head, he totally disagreed with Liu Zhang's point of view.

"My lord, there is a saying in the art of war. Attack by surprise. If Liangzhou Ma Teng, Han Sui, Guanzhong Li Jue, Guo Si, and Jingzhou Liu Biao attack Hanzhong together, with the current defense force of Hanzhong, how long can it last?"

"this…"

Liu Zhang was at a loss for words. If the three forces attacked at the same time, or even attacked Hanzhong by surprise, then Hanzhong would be lost!

Hanzhong defenders Yang Lin and Xia Houlan are not generals who can stand alone.

Now that Liu Zhang is carrying the defense of Hanzhong like this, one can imagine what Yang Lin and Xia Houlan will think.

"Zi Yang, even though that's the case, how can these people unite? I don't think they will offend us at this time. After all, our 100,000 army is not vegetarian!"

It's not that Liu Zhang looks down on them, it's that these people don't deserve Liu Zhang's attention at all.

Li Jue and Guo Si are all softies. If Liu Zhang doesn't trouble them, Li Jue and others will have to burn incense. How could they take the initiative to provoke Liu Zhang?

Han Sui and Ma Teng occupy Liangzhou, and they look like brothers, but in fact, they have their own thoughts and want to annex each other's forces. Under such a complicated environment, how could it be possible to invade Hanzhong and offend Liu Zhang?

Finally, there is Liu Biao, the road that Liu Zhang is least worried about.

Liu Biao must be thinking at this moment, Liu Zhang must not go out of Sichuan and east!

How could Liu Biao, who has no ambitions and is a household dog, take the initiative to provoke Liu Zhang?

"My lord, have you forgotten that there is a person in the world who has a deep hatred for the lord, and the hatred for the lord is like a torrent of water? It can be said that the hatred is so deep! Now that the lord is so proud, can he sleep well?"

Liu Zhang was embarrassed when he heard it. To be honest, there should not be a few people in the world who hate him.

For example, the princes of the towns outside Hulao Pass, even Lu Bu, etc...

But Liu Zhang has disappeared from everyone's eyes for so long, so he can't hate coming to Yizhou, right?

"Zi Yang, you don't mean Yuan Shao, do you?"

After Liu Zhang thought about it, only Yuan Shaohui in Hebei hated him all day long.
