276 The Heart of the Turtle Pie
On the seventh day of the seventh week, the military commander Hua and the mascot monarch finally arrived in Jianning. After visiting the soldiers of the three armies, King Zhurong pointed to the north and marched towards Chengdu.
Three days after the Southern Barbarians sent troops, the large number of troops assigned by Liu Bei's army also set out from Yong'an. Zhang Sanye and Pang Tong's beast attacked Jiangzhou. For a time, the two cities of Western Shu were alarmed one after another, and the fragile alliance had become empty talk.
Although Liu Bei was good at recruiting surrenders, Deng Ai was not an ordinary person. He was the Wei general who ran around the mountain road at night and attacked Chengdu, the capital of Shu. It can be said that he was the ultimate person to destroy Shu. Although Liu Bei was kind on the surface, he also had the small-mindedness of a fake girl in his heart. It can be seen through his attitude towards Lu Bu and the Sun family that he had no intention of surrendering.
As for Chengdu, even if Liu Bei surrendered Liu Yan, he would still be taken over by the Nanman, and there was no need to do such useless efforts.
After nearly 5 days of marching, the palaces and fertile fields in Chengdu can be vaguely seen.
A bunch of barbarian soldiers couldn't help but shout. The comfortable country of Tianfu made them hungry and thirsty. They were used to barbarian life and had already started to start the Sichuan girl in the city.
The sound of ghosts and wolves crying and howling through the clouds, shaking Chengdu a bleak feeling.
Military Commander Hua called his brother-in-law and nodded calmly.
My brother-in-law looked at the sunset and felt very melancholy.
Wish the Queen to come and hug the two of them with both arms.
"You are my right-hand man. I can't bear to leave either, but the war is imminent. In order to fight Zhuge, we can only endure the pain and separate here."
Under the witness of the Settling Sun, the three heroes at that time stopped talking nonsense and rushed in three directions.
Their locations are not far from the south of Chengdu.
Among them, my brother-in-law led five wolf cavalry warriors to run to Chengdu quickly.
Military Commander Hua led 5 wolf cavalry back on the same road and walked straight to Jiangzhou.
King Zhurong led his army to march eastward, following the steep mountain road that Deng Ai walked on back then, and it was only three days away from Jiangzhou.
Although the big map information in the game is transparent, it will be delayed by about one day, and the Southern Barbarians will divide their troops here. Only one day later will the enemy have a chance to react.
Within half a day, Fang Xian led the wolf cavalry to the front of Chengdu.
Looking at the gate tower, Chengdu has already reached the fortress-level defense facilities. There are three arrow towers and the seventh-level soldiers are all calculated. Although there are only 5 ordinary angels, they are also very powerful.
The generals of Chengdu finally saw the barbarian army coming, but the number was a little different from what was mentioned in the information. A bunch of generals couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding why. At this time, they had not received any information from the Southern Barbarians' division of troops.
When the brother-in-law faced the army, his face remained calm and his heart was not beating: "Meng You, Yunnan, please ask the old prefect Liu Yan and Liu to speak!"
In the crowd, an old man took two steps, stood in the middle of the city tower, and said in a trembling voice: "Liu Yan is here."
"Old Liu." My brother-in-law dismounted and bowed respectfully, "Old Liu is worthy of being a good minister of the Han Dynasty. He devoted his entire life to defending the Han Dynasty. Meng admired it!"
Liu Yan's face was stunned, and he suddenly felt good about this brother-in-law. His words were appropriate, but it was not the rough style that was passed down from the Central and Southern Barbarians.
But before he could answer, he saw Zhang Ren snatching up and cursing: "Bad slut! If you want to kill me, don't send a few wolf cubs and a brother-in-law to scare people!"
"Hmph." My brother-in-law turned cold and he snorted softly. "General Zhang, I am talking to the prefect of Chengdu. What are you?!"
"You?!!" Zhang Ren's face turned red when he was aroused. He was indeed excited. It was a taboo to steal the lord's words.
Liu Yan's face also changed a little.
Thinking back to the time when Liu Bei entered Sichuan in a prosperous and no one could stop him. Liu Yan's son Liu Zhang was a comparable to Liu Bei's son Liu Chan, and it was basically impossible to defend Western Shu. But only Zhang Ren was in charge of the battle, and he stumbled against the public and ambushed in Luofenglin and killed Liu Bei's second military advisor, "Feng Chu" Pang Tong.
This move undoubtedly angered Liu Bei. He fought all the way, and the power was unstoppable. The cities of Western Shu Wangfeng surrendered and easily captured Chengdu.
Fortunately, Liu Bei was of the same clan, and he only liked handsome men and tough guys, and was just like the foolish man Pang Tong. He forgiven this and granted Liu Zhang a small official, but did not take his life.
But in the opinion of Liu Yan of the Turtle Sect, this matter was too risky.
If Liu Bei was not so kind and he would never forget Pang Tong's grudge, he would find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Zhang. The one who put his son in danger was this brainless and warlike Zhang Ren.
However, Zhang Ren is extremely brave and has some things worth using. Liu Yan is also a gentle person, so he did not mention this matter.
He winked at Zhang Ren, asked him to retreat, and said to his brother-in-law under the city: "General Meng, I know that Yunnan has many brave soldiers, but I am not afraid of Chengdu. If you want to fight, you will come, don't say much."
Fang Xian looked at the city tower, and there were still icons of fear on his head, afraid that they knew the inevitable result of the battle. Only a few angels and knights were fearless.
He then said clearly: "Old Grandpa Liu, I wonder if General Zhang has told you about the matter under Jianning City."
"Yeah." Liu Yan nodded, "Zhu Rong Wang Yong, Mu Lu King is amazing in magic, and his brother-in-law's skill is superb..."
"What else?" Fang Xian smiled, "General Zhang, are King Zhurong a loving person or a cruel person?"
Zhang Ren was really unable to withstand the excitement and immediately shouted: "Brutal! Arrogant! He said he wanted to take away Chengdu and kill me, Zhang, and it was a big deal!"
"Oh?!" The generals of Western Shu changed slightly.
Liu Yan asked, "Did you have a grudge with Zhu Rong?"
"Lord, I just scolded her for a few words of barbarians."
"King Zhurong is a descendant of the God of Vulcan, how can he be so insulted?"
"This... lord, when the two armies are fighting, they all have to say hello."
"You..." Liu Yan pointed at him and didn't know what to say, so he could only whisper, "Leave a line in everything. If we lose, the enemy will not take any ruthless action. If you angered King Zhurong like this, if they break the city, I am afraid that the people of Western Sichuan will be devastated!"
Zhang Ren was stunned.
The lord is so arrogant that everyone knows, but this is so arrogant. Before the war has begun to think about what happened after failure.
Seeing this, my brother-in-law at the city smiled and then said, "My King Zhurong of the Great Southern Barbarian is cruel or kind, and he is divided into people. He naturally has to be more ruthless towards a crude person like General Zhang who bites people from the beginning; but for an old man like Liu Yan and Liu, who puts the people first in everything, my lord respects and admires both the old man who respects and admires the people."
Liu Yan suddenly said nothing.
Although he was so arrogant, he was not stupid. Obviously, the enemy was polite and then soldiers, and came to surrender.
The Southern Barbarians were approaching, and the Western Shu Alliance was both in crisis. This situation was indeed inevitable.
But Liu Yan was very smart and could naturally see the long term after staying in Western Shu all his life.
If Liu Bei takes Jiangzhou and the Southern Barbarians take Chengdu, the two sides will definitely fight in Yizhou. If you have to say something, Liu Bei will have a greater victory. If you surrender to the Southern Barbarians here, Liu Bei will fight again in the future and may not be so kind to himself. When he surrenders, he will only be Xiang left on his face.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan said: "General Meng, I will tell you that Liu Bei has also contacted me with tears."
My brother-in-law was not surprised by this. This is a diplomatic game. War is just the least efficient diplomatic means. It would be strange if you don’t contact Liu Yan if you don’t contact Liu Yan.
My brother-in-law was so happy that he immediately said, "No need to say much about the old prefect Liu. I believe you can't see clearly who can gain a foothold in Yizhou, the Southern Barbarians and Liu Bei, right?"
Liu Yan did not speak, which was the default.
For safety, even if he surrendered, he had to choose the winner between the Southern Barbarians and Liu Bei.
Fang Xianran said: "King Zhurong is also a wise man and knows the concerns of the old prefect Liu. Since this is the case, I will report to King Zhurong and lead my army of southern barbarians to quickly rush to Jiangzhou to fight the main force of Liu Bei invading Yizhou. If King Zhurong wins and takes Jiangzhou, I hope that Prefect Liu Yan will be the people of Chengdu..."
Liu Yan waved his arm and said, "That's natural. As long as King Zhurong is benevolence and righteousness is the first, I will lead the generals in Chengdu to surrender."
"Lord!!!" Zhang Ren was shocked when he heard this, "How could he surrender so easily? We have worked hard to develop for so long!"
Liu Yan's face darkened and he snorted lightly.
After all, Zhang Ren is brave but not scheming. Forces like himself can only compete for hegemony unless they control the overall situation in Yizhou in the early stage. In the current situation, they are already a lamb to be slaughtered. Anyway, if they want to be slaughtered, it is better to choose a powerful force.
"Otherwise," Liu Yan asked, "If Zhu Rong took Jiangzhou, how long do you think Chengdu can support it? Zhong Hui in the north is still holding his troops and staring at him."
"But... with Liu Bei's restraint, the Southern Barbarians would not dare to move rashly."
"Zhang Ren, your eyes are still too short-sighted. Behind Liu Bei, there is also Cao Cao. The monarchs restrain each other, and no one dares to bet on their wealth. Nowadays, there is a sudden rise. One thing must be bold, and the second is to be careful. King Zhurong dares to confront Liu Bei head-on, which is the pride of the domineering; she also sent her confidants to surrender, which is careful."
Liu Yan said, looking into the east: "What is left is destiny. The Lord of Yizhou will be decided by God."
Seeing that the plan was done, Fang Xian set up camp outside Chengdu, pretending to contact King Zhurong, and asked her to lead the army to change direction.
My brother-in-law is stationed here, first, he can occupy Chengdu as soon as King Zhurong wins, so as not to cause any abnormal movements; second, he can observe Liu Yan's movements at any time. During the war, the faster the intelligence, the better.
Two days later, Military Commander Hua led five wolf cavalry to the gate of Jiangzhou's southern city, claiming to be the envoy of the Southern Barbarians, and had important matters to go to the city to discuss with Deng Ai.
Deng Ai knew the movements of the Southern Barbarian Army at this time, and saw that there were only 5 cavalrymen coming, so he put them into the city.
In the eyes of others, Military Commander Hua is simply a hostage delivered to his door.
But Deng Ai's heart is clear and clear.
This is self-confidence, fearsome confidence. There is nothing more arrogant than military advisors who have entered the enemy camp as lobbyists.
As soon as Yu Yan entered the city, she knew that the plan had been mostly successful.!~!
