Guo Jia said calmly: "It doesn't matter, so what if there is another Yan Yan? Yizhou is already in our pocket now. At worst, we can temporarily station troops at Jiameng Pass and wait for the lord to send troops again!"

"What's more, I'm afraid it's not us who should be anxious at that time, but the Yizhou family in Chengdu. They are more anxious than us. By then, both the family and Liu Yan will suffer, so wouldn't it be better for us to sit back and reap the benefits?"

Now that Cao Cao's actions were already in full swing, Liu Bei did not dare to trouble Yuan Shu at this time. And the only other princes around Yizhou besides Yuan Shu were Li Que and Guo Si of Liangzhou.

These two brothers have no ambitions and it is impossible to provoke Yuan Shu. What's more, as long as Taishi Ci takes Hanzhong, Li Que and Guo Si will never have other ideas.

So now Yuan Shu's situation is very stable and he can slowly train Liu Yan and the Yizhou family without any rush. Guo Jia is not in a hurry at all.

…

A few days later, outside Chengdu.

Huang Zhong led his army to camp outside the north gate of Chengdu City. Looking at the large number of soldiers in Liu Yan's camp in the distance, he was pleasantly surprised and said: Sure enough!

"Fengxiao, everything is as you said. It seems we can easily win Chengdu!"

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yan's soldiers in the camp outside Chengdu and said casually: "The military discipline is lax, the defenses are old-fashioned, and full of loopholes. It seems that generals like Yan Yan in Yizhou are indeed rare! The other generals should be mediocre.

.”

Guo Jia, who was best at local combat, could tell at a glance the opponent's general's leadership and formation skills.

Of course, this method of judgment is not necessarily correct, and maybe the other party is deliberately hiding their clumsiness! But considering the stupid IQ of the Yizhou family as a whole, Guo Jia doesn't think they can make such a plan.

"Okay, I'll take a day off and challenge again tomorrow."

The wind and clouds were calm on Huang Zhong's side, but the Liu Yan camp on the other side was full of gunpowder.

"Wu Ning, what do you mean? I am the commander of our army appointed by His Majesty, why did you come so late?" Liu Ji said angrily.

Liu Yan sent the family's private soldiers and the army loyal to the family out of the city in a single line. Just in case, he also sent 10,000 troops to supervise the battle to prevent these people from defecting.

As for the commander-in-chief of this army, Liu Yan's confidants will naturally be in charge!

Liu Yan decisively sent Liu Ji, a member of his clan, to serve as commander-in-chief.

It's a pity that this commander-in-chief is not that good. The soldiers under his command are basically soldiers from aristocratic families. How many of the leading generals really listen to him? Every one of them obeyed Liu Ji's orders.

At this time, he discovered that Huang Zhong's army had arrived near Chengdu. Liu Ji hurriedly summoned all the captains and generals to discuss the matter, but unexpectedly many people were late. Among them, Wu Ning was the most egregious. After Liu Ji repeatedly sent people to urge him, he was stunned.

Still half an hour late!

"I also ask for your forgiveness, General. I don't know what I ate yesterday, and the pain in my abdomen was extremely severe, which was really unbearable. I just fainted from the pain again, and after the doctor cured me, I rushed here without stopping. Please forgive me, General."

." Wu Ning said with a sincere face.

However, when Liu Ji heard this, his face became extremely ugly, and he cursed in his heart: I have severe pain in my abdomen? Why didn't you say you were pregnant? This is the first time I heard that third-rate military generals can eat bad things, and even fainted from the pain.

Of!

Judging from the way you pretend, if my soldier hadn't just told me that you were drinking when he informed you, I might have believed you!

However, Liu Ji was also a tolerant person. He knew that he could not do anything to this person at all, so he simply held it up high, put it down gently and said: "In this case, let's not do it again! If this happens again, it will definitely happen."

Kill without mercy!"

"yes!"

Liu Ji turned around and returned to the main seat. He looked at the generals of the aristocratic families with ulterior motives on both sides, and his heart was filled with helplessness.

"Okay, let's talk about it! Huang Zhong's army has arrived at Chengdu. What should we do?"

Facing Liu Ji's question, the generals below looked left and right one by one and remained silent.

Liu Ji saw the silent scene below and secretly clenched his fists: "The enemy is currently facing us, do you really have no idea at all? Don't forget that my wife, children, children and young people are all in the city. Once the city is defeated, all of us will be killed."

You will suffer disaster accordingly!"

After hearing Liu Ji's implicit threats, the people below finally reacted: "General, the enemy's army is strong, why don't we retreat to the city?"

Liu Ji secretly hated himself. Returning to Chengdu? I’m afraid Chengdu won’t be ours by then!

Under this situation, Liu Yan would not bring this army closer to the city under any circumstances! The danger of the family's army was too high, so it was better to keep it outside for peace of mind.

However, Liu Yan still did not dare to completely break up with the aristocratic family. After all, in this era, there is no need to offend the aristocratic family. Liu Yan still wanted to leave a way out for himself, or at least for his descendants.

"It is not advisable to retreat to the city. Our army currently has more than 80,000 elite soldiers, while the opposite side only has 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers. Our victory rate is not low. Now I would like to ask you for any suggestions for the next battle?"

Everyone in the audience started to stare at each other again. They were just children from aristocratic families. They hung up the title of general just for future promotion. They had no commanding ability at all, let alone force. When they encountered this problem, they all lowered their heads.

.

Liu Ji's eyes were filled with fire, it happened again!

"Since you don't have any good ideas, I'll go and test the enemy's strength tomorrow and then make a decision!" Liu Ji sighed.

"I'll say goodbye!"

After everyone left, Liu Ji's calm expression instantly turned livid, and he smashed the table in front of him with one punch.

"Liu Ming!" Liu Ji shouted.

"My subordinate is here!" A man in black stood out from the shadows and said.

"Watch this group of people carefully. If there is any sign of trouble, be sure to notify me immediately! In addition, send someone to Huang Zhong's army to declare a challenge. Tomorrow we will test out who Huang Hansheng is," Liu Ji ordered.

.

"promise!"

Looking at the orderly army in Huang Zhong's camp in the distance, Liu Ji felt a little uneasy.

"I hope everything goes well! If it doesn't work out, I have to retreat to Chengdu!"

Liu Ji is relatively capable among the Liu clan, otherwise Liu Yan would not have sent him to take on this important task.

But precisely because Liu Ji was not weak in ability, he could see at a glance the tragic situation that Liu Yan was currently surrounded by. If he made one wrong move, he and others would be greeted by an abyss.

Moreover, the way his army was falling apart made Liu Ji very uneasy.
