On September 16th, Yizhou Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Mianzhu. (The current Yizhou Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of Mianzhu. In history, Liu Yan moved to Chengdu before his death)

In the palace mansion of the governor who was in his early sixties, Liu Yan, who was in his early sixties, looked white with his beard and deep wrinkles. Those who didn't know would think that he was already in his seventies, at least a teenager older than his real age.

Liu Yan lay on the sickbed, panting and grinning. Since he learned seven days ago that his only son, Liu Mao, who was brought to Yizhou, had died of illness in Ba County, Liu Yan has suffered a major blow [www.boquge.xyz].

Not only did his beard and hair turn white, but his spine behind him also attacked his heart due to anger. The poison gas broke out and a string of ulcers grew, which hurts when he touched it. So he couldn't lie down and sleep for a while. At first, he could only lie down. However, the older person has poor heart and lung function and pressed his breathing while lying down, so he was panting and his heart seemed to be tired of jumping.

Later, the doctor next to him changed his soft couch and let him lie on his side, which was better.

Liu Yan had been a Zongzheng and Taichang, and of course he was well versed in history. He knew that in "Records of the Grand Historian", Fan Zeng, who was surrounded by Xiang Yu, died of anger and a ulcer. This made Liu Yan even more and more afraid that he would not have enough time.

In the original history, Liu Mao was in poor health and was not adapted to the hot climate in the south. It was obvious that he was not accustomed to the local environment. He also died of sudden illness a year before Liu Yan's death. It can only be said that Tianshou is like this. The oppression of the battle in Diaoyu City, the deterioration of the environment, and the virus in the food made Liu Mao die two or three years ago.

After the Diaoyucheng Battle, Liu Bei's army blocked the news well. People outside did not know about Liu Mao's death at first. It was because Jiangzhou City was besieged. Li Su openly used Liu Mao's death to attack the morale of the Jiangzhou defenders. This message spread when he was a surrender.

In addition, no one in Jiangzhou broke out to report the news, so the people outside the city naturally passed the news to Han'an County (Neijiang), and the officials in Han'an were so anxious that they could report the news. So when Liu Yan knew that his son had died, Jiangzhou had actually fallen.

In the next five or six days, no new bad news came. But the more this happened, the more uneasy Liu Yan felt, and it would be better to give him some pleasure. He knew that with the fall of Jiangzhou, other counties in Ba County would definitely fall sooner or later? No news came? I'm afraid it was because the local county officials surrendered so quickly that they didn't have to send emergency reports for help.

Just when Liu Yan was worried, there was finally a message to give him some pleasure.

A steward of the provincial governor's office in his early twenties, named Wang Lei, rushed in with an urgent report. His face turned slightly pale.

This Wang Le is considered a grassroots secretary position, and he is quite diligent in his work? Originally, Liu Yan was about to be promoted to literature after a few years of training. That could be considered as upgrading from an official to an official.

"Encourt! Eunuch, it's not good! Zhao Yun, the Changshui Captain under Liu Bei's command, has already broken through the Taoist path." Wang Lei said worriedly.

"Zhi Dao? Zhao Yun came so fast!" Liu Yan's pupils shrank and dripped his teeth. He seemed to have some energy. Perhaps because his attention was shifted to the serious business, he would not think about the poisonous sores behind him.

Liu Yan was already quite surprised by Liu Bei's rapid progress, but after calming down a little, he soon discovered that there were other tricks:

"No? Why did the news of the fall of the 杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨杨

"This... I'll confirm it again." Wang Lei also found that something was wrong. He was young and had little knowledge. He was not a military expert? He heard that the news was sent by the Kuaima Courier. He came to report it quickly, but he didn't think much about it.

After confirming, the messenger was also very innocent, saying that he had traveled 300 miles a day and rushed to deliver the letter for several days. As for Jiang Yang's failure to come, he might have surrendered directly without resistance.

Wang Lei felt that this kind of malicious speculation was not easy to tell Liu Yan, for fear of slandering Wang Shang, Chen Shi and other officials of Jianwei - if they were still fighting hard and were surrounded and led to information disconnection, but you said that he surrendered, wouldn't it be a "Guo Tu behavior"?

Wang Lei had to go elsewhere to find the source of information, trying to figure it out thoroughly before giving it back. As a result, he delayed one or two more hours because he ran around again, and another new bad news came.

"The prince's mansion! I was sent by the magistrate of Li County in Nan'an. Yesterday morning, Zhao Yun, under Liu Bei's tent, led tens of thousands of troops to Nan'an and was already siegeing the city. The magistrate of Li County ordered me to come and report the emergency and ask the envoy to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible!"

Wang Lei was stunned when he heard this.

It was only in the morning that the fall of the Tao, and only one and a half years later, Nan'an was besieged?

What speed is this? It is 200 miles from Jiangyang to Wudao, and more than 200 miles from Wudao to Nan'an. Nan'an is only 200 miles from Chengdu, and there is only one Wuyang (Meishan) in the middle.

"Impossible! How could Zhao Yun march in two hundred miles within two hours? It's a terrible dream!" Wang Lei asked directly.

The messenger was stunned: "I don't know! I was sent from Nan'an, but... I remember that the magistrate of Li County just got the news that he came from the Dao. Shortly after, he found that Zhao Yun's army was coming. The messenger took time to go."

Wang Lei looked at it for a while and realized that this was possible - it was not that Zhao Yun had traveled 200 miles in two hours. Instead, the time spent by Zhao Yun's army rushing 200 miles, and the time spent by the courier of the emergency traveling 200 miles was only two hours.

But this is also very exaggerated, which shows that Zhao Yun ran over to grab the land at almost at full speed and did not fight at all.

Moreover, messengers can change horses, can Zhao Yun's army also change horses? That is, one person and two horses? This configuration has only been heard in the Huns and Wuhuan Hu troops.

Too scary.

Anyway, Wang Lei is a native of Yizhou, and he has never seen so many horses in his life.

Wang Lei knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly came in and asked to see Liu Yan again.

This time, Liu Yan's complexion was a little better. He had just used lunch and seemed to have handled some military affairs in the morning. He was a little exhausted, his appetite improved a little, and he became more energetic after eating.

Wang Lei had to bite the bullet and report again: "Enterprise, the latest urgent report, Zhao Yun led his army to attack Nan'an yesterday and asked the envoy to send troops to rescue him."

Liu Yan's hand shook, and the toothpick of picking teeth pierced into the nasolabial folds on his lips, which was a blood spot.

He gritted his teeth and took his anger at the maid next to him who was pressing his back. The maid was ordered to help him knead and activate blood circulation and detoxify.

"Press so hard! Do you want to squeeze the abscess? Drag it out and beat it to death!"

After beating a maid to death, his anger and anger subsided a little, barely saving his life, without high blood pressure or toxic sores and rupture. He calmed down for a while, accepted this reality, and sighed:

"Changshui Captain Zhao Yun... is worthy of being a flying general in the world. I heard that when the Ten Constellations were in chaos, Zhao Yun killed the Ten Constellations alone to seize the palace gate. Queen Lingsi called him "Yang, I don't believe it yet...

Alas, let the Dongzhou soldiers and Qingqiang soldiers and the Lao soldiers rectify them, and set out to Wuyang first! Tomorrow morning, I will take a car to catch up with the army and I will fight in person!”

Wang Lei was shocked: "Eunuch, your body..."

Liu Yan smiled bitterly: "At this point, who else can be the one around me who can supervise the army? Pang Xi wants to guard Jiangyou and supervise the battle against Jiange. Apart from that, who can suppress tens of thousands of troops from being surrendered and betrayed by Liu Bei?

Zhao Yun's momentum is so fast that he must have commanded the main force under Liu Bei, Mianzhu and Chengdu's 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers, and cooperated with the Yizhou soldiers, and may not be able to win. You immediately order Pang Xi to divide half of his men and horses to help the battle. If he can't leave, let his son bring it."

At this point, Liu Yan has no choice but to use people to take care of his generals. As long as he is loyal and reliable, he can't help but be nepotism.

...

Unfortunately, Liu Yan reacted so quickly. When his army arrived in Wuyang County and continued to advance to Nan'an, he still received bad news that Nan'an had fallen on the way.

After Zhao Yun captured the city, the messenger spent one day reporting the message, and the army spent two more days marching to come. It was no longer unhappy. But even if Zhao Yun captured Nan'an within three days, you can't do anything about him.

As the southern end of Longquan Mountain on the east side of the Chengdu Plain, Nan'an was at least guarded by his confidant and resisted with force, but in the end he could not withstand the turbulence. Almost the moment Zhao Yun's troops climbed the city with a flying ladder, the soldiers beside him knelt down and surrendered.

After Liu Yan's army headed south from Wuyang County, he walked halfway, and was still thirty or forty miles away from Nan'an, so he had to stop and camp on the road.

Fortunately, the terrain of this area is not very open, with the east-west width between the Minjiang River and Longquan Mountain only a dozen miles. Liu Yan stationed tens of thousands of troops and dug long trenches on the spot, piled up the excavated soil into low walls, and set up camps to break the road, which could prevent Zhao Yun from continuing to move north.

Although Liu Yan claimed to be able to mobilize more than 100,000 mobile troops, it took time. In the first few days, only 20,000 Dongzhou soldiers and 10,000 Qiang soldiers (5,000 Qing Qiang soldiers and 5,000 Lao soldiers each). Liu Yan mistakenly thought that Zhao Yun had 20,000 people, and so in such a fierce momentum, the dangerous place in Nan'an County was lost again. Of course, he did not dare to fight directly with Zhao Yun, so he had to wait for the rear team.

Zhao Yun had advanced 600 miles in four days and spent another two or three days to attack Nan'an. After seven days of fatigue, he was actually at the end of his strength. He quickly let the troops sleep in Nan'an County and had no strength to come to rob the camp.

The two sides confronted each other tacitly for two days, and Zhao Yun's troops recovered their physical strength and energy. Liu Yan also waited for subsequent reinforcements, and there were temporarily 50,000 or 60,000 troops on the front line. If he was given seven or eight days to mobilize and gather troops from each county, the total number could be up to 110,000.

The general scale of Liu Yan's army, and the scouts sent by Zhao Yun, had also been roughly investigated. Zhao Yun knew that he could not wait any longer. He would probably have no chance to fight a harassing battle, and would only be completely blocked in Nan'an County.

"Tomorrow morning, 5,000 Youzhou Arc Cavalry will be left to guard the city and the five thousand Wuhuan Cavalry will follow me to rob the camp. The fourth week will make meals and the fifth week will arrive."

It is better to go to the camp later if a large army of 5,000 people robbed the camp. It is best to go there later. It is better to launch an attack and avoid chaos and trampling on each other.

Moreover, Zhao Yun was also prepared for Liu Yan to defend closely, so he led the archers and cavalry to rob the camp. Even if the enemy camp could not invade, he would shoot arrows across the wall and harass him and retreat. It would be best if he could lure the enemy to pursue him. If he refused to pursue him, he would be regarded as killing the enemy's majesty.
