Baidi City is filled with gloom and gloom at the moment. The news of the fall of Chengdu is like a nightmare, shrouding the hearts of the Sichuan troops in the city. Without fighting spirit, there will be no fighting spirit. This is the best portrayal of Baidi City at present. www..
In the prefect's mansion, Huang Quan, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan were gathered together, all looking ugly.
"Why did Jianning fall?" Looking at the battle report in his hand, Huang Quan's hands trembled a little, and his originally clear eyesight dimmed a lot at this moment, with a look of decadence on his face.
Before raising troops, Huang Quan had already established a defense line in the Jianning area, which could be said to be foolproof. However, in fact, Jianning's defense line could not even stop him for a day. The huge contrast made him feel decadent.
"The famous scholar Wang Kang took refuge in Qingtian City. When the troops were approaching the city, they suddenly gathered a crowd to rebel and opened the city gate." General Zhang Ren said solemnly.
"But even so, there are still 100,000 defenders in Chengdu, and there are 300,000 troops in Mianzhu, Zitong, and Luocheng. They can be defeated in a day or night. Why should my lord surrender!" Yan Yan, who is now over 50 years old, still has a hot temper.
, slapped the table hard, breaking a table into pieces.
"General Yan, calm down." Zhang Ren stretched out his hand to support Yan Yan, turned to look at Huang Quan and said: "Chengdu has fallen, Wu Yi and others will definitely surrender, and our retreat will also be cut off by then. Military advisor, where should we go?"
"This..." Huang Quan shook his head bitterly and said nothing. Chengdu fell and Liu Zhang surrendered. This war can be said to be over. They have no reason to continue fighting. Even if they win the battle in front of them, what will happen?
The situation in Xichuan has been decided, and it only has a few more minutes to linger. Moreover, even if they want to fight, the soldiers in the city will have no fighting spirit, and they will have no fighting spirit. What can they do to fight against the tiger and wolf divisions of Qingtian City?
The three of them were relatively speechless for a while, each thinking about their own thoughts.
…
Xiangyang, Sun Ce's general residence.
Sun Ce was getting together with Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to discuss secretly. Zhang Zhao pointed at the map and said: "My lord, please see, our army now has three major forces in the north: Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Buluo Imperial City. Liu Biao is the dog guarding the house.
Now trapped in Nanyang, it is difficult to do anything, but Cao Cao is an unparalleled hero. He has advisors like clouds and fierce generals like rain. Our army has newly appointed Jingxiang. We must not compete with him. If he does not fall into the imperial city, he will be a stranger even if his prosperity is gone.
The heroes among them have developed Heluo in recent years, and have gradually become prosperous under their rule. Moreover, they are determined to make progress, and are far from being rivaled by Liu Biao and his like. Our army cannot compete with these two people for the time being.
To the east is Yuan Shu. Although he has been defeated several times, the reputation of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family is still there. The so-called centipede insect can die but not freeze. Moreover, with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu as barriers, it can also be our army's defense against Cao Cao and the imperial city.
a barrier.
The power of Qingtian City is in the south. Although Qingtian City has sent troops to attack Shuzhong, it is by no means an army that can conquer the country. There must be capable people guarding Jiangdong. Moreover, our army has suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of Qingtian City. There is a shadow in the hearts of the soldiers and it will take time.
To resolve it, although we have some ambitions, at present, our army does not have the ability to become an enemy of Qingtian City."
Sun Ce nodded calmly and said, "Sir, don't worry. Although I am not the same as Qingtian, I am self-aware." At the end, he was quite self-deprecating.
"Lord, don't worry. Although we are not as good as Qingtian City at present, I believe that the situation will be reversed soon." Zhang Zhao nodded happily, took a deep breath, pointed in the direction of Xichuan and said: "Xichuan has been known as the land of abundance since ancient times, and the people are rich and wealthy.
, and Liu Zhang is weak, although the war in Qingtian City is unfavorable now, with Liu Zhang's ability, it will not be able to defend it for a long time. If Qingtian City is allowed to continue to attack, Xichuan will be in Qingtian City's bag sooner or later! Once Qingtian City captures Xichuan, Bei Ke can send out troops.
"Jianjia Pass, capture Hanzhong, the rich land in Guanzhong, and Bai Di can send troops from Jiangdong to attack Jingxiang from both sides. If that happens, Jingxiang will no longer have any danger to defend!"...
Zhou Yu nodded and said: "The only plan now is to unite with Liu Zhang, attack from the front and back, defeat the Qingtian army in one fell swoop, and then work together to capture Xichuan, which will be the foundation of the king's industry!"
Sun Ce nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Okay, let's follow your plan!"
"Lord!" As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dang suddenly walked in from the outside in a hurry, clasping his fists and saying: "I just received an urgent report from Xichuan that General Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin of Qingtian City have captured Jianning and arrived in Chengdu. Liu Zhang... has surrendered.
!”
"How is this possible!" Even with Sun Ce's calmness, he couldn't help but change his expression when he heard this. Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao also changed their expressions slightly when they heard this. It had only been about three months since Qingtian City sent troops to Baidi City. Xichuan has had outstanding people since ancient times.
There are countless talented people, but who would have thought that Qingtian City could invade Chengdu and make an emergency landing on Liu Zhang in just three months.
"It seems that there is an internal response from Qingtian City in Sichuan!" Zhou Yu said in a deep voice with a wise light shining in his eyes.
"Gong Jin is right. Wang Kang, a famous scholar in Jianning, started to instigate rebellion when the rebel troops in Nanzhong Qingtian came out of Sanjiang City, allowing the troops in Sanjiang City to capture Jianning without spending a single soldier and march straight into Chengdu.
, Meng Da, the guard at Jiameng Pass, and Dong He, the prefect of Langzhong, rebelled almost at the same time. In addition, all the major cities in central Sichuan had internal agents. These internal agents were not high-status, but they all had some abilities, and the prefects everywhere were unable to come to the rescue.
In addition, the ministers headed by Zhang Song in Chengdu city surrendered, and Liu Zhang actually surrendered like this!" Han Dang said bitterly, feeling quite angry that he would not argue.
"We will raise troops immediately and march to Baidi City!" Sun Ce stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice.
"No!" Zhou Yu shook his head: "The trend of rebellion has been established. Although Xichuan has not been completely pacified now, it will take at least two months for our army to set out from Xiangyang, prepare food and grass, and arrive at Baidi. These two months
, enough for Qing Ni to calmly set up a defense line in the Baidi area, and once our army sets off, Jingxiang's defense will be empty, Chai Sang, Jiujiang navy will definitely attack, Gan Ning is not a fuel-efficient lamp, when we leave Jingxiang, we will definitely fight for
Take advantage of it!"
"Then what should we do now?" Sun Ce rubbed his temples and said bitterly.
"Since Xichuan is hopeless, the only solution now is to compete with Qing Ni for time!" Zhou Yu looked at the map and seemed to have made a strong determination. He said fiercely: "Send troops to Runan. Before Qing Ni pacifies Xichuan, force Qing Ni to defeat Xichuan."
Destroy Yuan Shu."
"Gong Jin, didn't you just say..." Zhang Zhao looked at Zhou Yu in confusion.
"This moment, that moment!" Zhou Yu said harshly: "After Qingni pacifies Xichuan, Jingxiang will become a turtle in the urn. Attacking Yuan Shu now will cause huge losses, but it can gain deep ground for our army.
, as long as we can capture Runan, we can unite with Liu Biao, occupy Cao Cao in the north, and fight against Qingtian City in the west!"
After slowing down, he continued: "Moreover, Yuan Shu has been defeated by Qingtian City several times in recent years, and then fought with Cao Cao and Liu Biao. He has not stopped for a moment. He is already a strong man on the outside. This battle may be tragic, but he will win in the end.
Those who are determined to be us, Bo Fu, make a decision immediately!"
"Okay!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Instruct the generals of the three armies to prepare for war. In three days, they will attack Yuan Shu!"
Zhang Zhao opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words that came to his lips. At the same time, he took a deep look at Zhou Yu. Sun Ce almost obeyed Zhou Yu's words. For a counselor, it is indeed true that he can gain such trust from his lord.
It's a great honor, but it may be a source of disaster.
With the fall of Chengdu and Liu Zhang's surrender, the Shuzhong gentry who originally stood to fight against Qingtian City to the end were divided. Bai Ningshuang's position in Nanzhong these years has not only been to develop Nanzhong, but also the tentacles of the Qingtian Chamber of Commerce have been silent.
spread to every corner of Sichuan, and secretly established a large network of relationships. Now, this network of relationships has begun to work.
Liu Zhang's surrender also means that the original position of these people has lost its meaning. Driven by the interests of this network of relationships, some people continue to give up their original position and change their families. Liu Zhang has surrendered. They surrender at this time, and there is no psychological burden. But
There are also many people who oppose Qingtian City's entry into Sichuan and are still making a death struggle...
When Qingtian City enters Sichuan and welcomes Fazheng, the two factions headed by Zhang Song will inevitably be reused, but the important officials in Sichuan will be suppressed before. The high-ranking ministers suddenly need to curry favor with those who have never seen it before.
Only by not being able to look at the 'little people' can they survive. This huge contrast is not something that everyone can bear. With the idea of better to be broken than to be destroyed, even though they know that the future is slim, they still fight back.
Qin Tian, who is in Baidi City, is not prepared to show mercy to these people. Now that they have made their choice, let them follow their goals and perish together. In the troubled times of the jungle, people cannot recognize their own status clearly and do not know how to adapt.
Qin Tian doesn't have time to convince the foolish and loyal people to surrender one by one.
Baidi City had no reinforcements outside and was deprived of water and food. After holding on for three days, it was finally broken. Huang Quan took Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, who were tied up by Wuhua Da, out of the city to ask for surrender.
From then on, the door to the middle of Shu was opened, and the Qingtian City troops could march straight in. As the news spread to the middle of Shu, Wu Yi, the governor of Zitong, Gao Pei, the guard of Mianzhu Pass, and Zhang Yi, the guard of Peishui Pass, surrendered one after another. Xichuan was initially pacified.
All the important checkpoints and towns fell into the hands of Qin Tian, and only a few cities were still making their final struggle.
In Baidi City, in the official palace, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were pushed and walked to Qin Tian. Even though they were tied like rice dumplings, they still glared at Qin Tian angrily.
"Bold, don't kneel down when you see my prince!" Guan Hai stared angrily, standing next to Qin Tian like a door god, his dagger-like gaze fell on the two people's faces, and his voice was like thunder.
The generals on both sides were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their arms trembled!
"Bah!" Yan Yan had a fiery personality and said angrily: "I only know that today's emperor's surname is Liu, but I don't know who the prince is!"
"Presumptuous!" Guan Hai's eyes were sharp and he pressed his sword, but Qin Tian waved his hand to stop him.
Looking down at these two Shu generals, there are many outstanding people and fierce generals in Sichuan, but when it comes to the ones that make Qin Tian's heart beat, these two are probably the only ones among the generals.
