"Liu Yan was unfaithful, built a crown privately, and chased him with his chariot, intending to usurp the Han Dynasty.
A certain family has long despised his behavior.
It's just that here in Xichuan, the sky is high and the roads are far away, and Liu Yan is very defensive, so he wants to return to the court but can't.
Glad Master Wang has arrived...
I would like to recruit all the residents of the city, as well as our troops and horses, to surrender to the imperial court."
Deng Zhi, the guard of Jiangyou City, knelt on the ground.
He said this to Zhang Liao, who was fully armed and covered in blood.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao nodded and agreed to Deng Zhi's surrender.
He took a step forward and reached out to help Deng Zhi up.
"The emperor's uncle and I were talking on the way here with the troops.
Here in Xichuan, we have been favored by the emperor for a long time, and there must be loyal and patriotic people who are happy to welcome Master Wang!
Now it seems that it is indeed true!
I, Zhang Liao, have memorized Deng Sima’s loyalty!
From now on, I must report it to the emperor’s uncle, and ask him to report Deng Sima’s Zhongyi trip to the imperial court..."
Zhang Liao said this to Deng Zhi.
Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Deng Zhi's anxious heart immediately relaxed.
He was really worried that the generals from Guanzhong who came were unreasonable and would kill everyone they met.
After expressing his gratitude to Zhang Liao and expressing his admiration and loyalty to the imperial court, he immediately began to dispatch people to help appease the people in the city.
Moreover, he personally followed Zhang Liao to appease and recruit his own troops.
With Deng Zhisima taking the initiative to do this, it suddenly became much smoother.
In less than an hour, all the soldiers and horses in Jiangyou City were gathered together and surrendered to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao received more than 4,000 troops.
After Zhang Liao's troops unexpectedly captured Jiangyou City, the momentum of the troops he led suddenly became high.
"Captain Lieutenant, on your way to Mianzhu, you need to pass through Fucheng.
As long as they pass through Fucheng, they can lead the army and attack Mianzhu!
We came from the Yinping path, and these people in Xichuan were unprepared.
As long as I wait fast enough, I can catch Fucheng off guard.
Then he ran all the way to Mianzhu!
Before the people in Xichuan could react, they captured Mianzhu!
Capture the leader of the thieves, Liu Yan!
This time, Xichuan will be able to completely capture it!
Completely successful!"
Some of Zhang Liao's subordinates spoke to Zhang Liao excitedly.
A partial force entered Xichuan, and then, relying solely on this partial force, they captured all of Xichuan!
After this battle, they and the generals they follow will surely become famous all over the world!
Make great military exploits!
Get great rewards!
The eyes of many of Zhang Liao's generals and soldiers were all red at this time!
"Captain, Old Chen is right, as long as we act fast enough, we can catch everyone in Xichuan by surprise.
Take Xichuan in one fell swoop!"
Someone else echoed.
Very excited.
Zhang Liao didn't speak for a while. He was deep in thought, and his expression changed accordingly.
It can be seen that he is also very moved by the opinions put forward by his generals.
After doing this for a while, Zhang Liao took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it.
After clenching his fists vigorously, under the expectant gazes of his generals, he said: "We are not going to Fucheng!
Let’s go straight to Jiange!
Defeat the Jiange soldiers and horses from behind, open the gate of Xichuan, and welcome the emperor's soldiers and horses to come in!"
Zhang Liao's subordinates, who were full of hope, were all stunned when they heard this.
Obviously, what Zhang Liao said exceeded all of their expectations!
They still know their generals very well.
This is a very capable and courageous man.
Otherwise, when he fought against the Baibo bandits in Mengjin, he would not have been able to fulfill the orders given by the emperor's uncle.
What's more, after arriving at the Yinping Bridge, we can't just lead our troops into Xichuan via the Yinping Trail. This is something that no one else would even dare to think of!
They all thought that after unexpectedly defeating Jiangyou City, their generals would continue their previous daring style of fighting and lead their troops to rush towards Mianzhu and attack Mianzhu directly.
But they didn't expect that at this moment when they were all excited, their leader Zhang Wenyuan unexpectedly changed his style and made such a decision!
You know, after taking Fucheng, you can go directly to Mianzhu!
Capture Mianzhu and capture the leader of the thieves, Liu Yan. This time, their generals will surely become famous all over the world!
However, at this moment, he directly abandoned Mianzhu and turned to the northeast, heading for Jianmen Pass, which ran opposite to Mianzhu!
"Captain, why did you make such a decision? You..."
Some generals under his command, after being stunned for a moment, immediately asked this question.
With strong unwillingness and confusion.
Zhang Liao heard this and said: "It is indeed as you said. If we advance quickly along the way, it is possible to capture Mianzhu directly.
If we capture Mianzhu, we will make great achievements!
However, have you never thought about what will happen if our attack on Mianzhu fails?!
We immediately mobilized our troops from Jiangyou City and launched a surprise attack before the news spread. We are very confident that we can capture Fucheng.
However, if we continue from Fucheng to attack Mianzhu, there is a high possibility that we will not be able to defeat them all.
Because, by that time, no matter how fast we act, Mianzhu will definitely get the news.
There will be some preparation.
Moreover, Mianzhu is no better than other places.
Liu Yan had some considerations in choosing the capital of Xichuan here.
Mianzhu City is high and deep, which is conducive to defense.
Moreover, there must be a lot of soldiers and horses in Mianzhu.
Not without the strength to fight!
Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult for us to defeat Mianzhu in one battle.
Once Mianzhu cannot be conquered in one battle, the rest of the troops Liu Yan deployed in Xichuan will definitely return quickly for reinforcements!
There are a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in Langzhong.
The other cities around Mianzhu also had soldiers and horses scattered around.
These soldiers and horses can also trap us here!
In front of the emperor's uncle, there are two extremely dangerous passes.
It is extremely difficult to overcome it in a short period of time.
This means that once we are besieged, we will be left alone and helpless!
Once such a situation occurs, all the advantages we have in sneaking across Yinping and entering Xichuan will be completely eliminated.
On the contrary, it will greatly enhance the arrogance of thieves, making them more united and more willing to fight.
At the same time, it will also greatly damage the emperor's uncle's prestige and put the emperor's uncle into an extremely passive situation...
On the contrary, it would be different if we went to Jiange, attacked the enemies there unexpectedly from behind, and welcomed the emperor's uncle into Xichuan!
As soon as the emperor's troops come in, everything will be a foregone conclusion!
In this case, which one do you think I should choose?
Which path should I choose?"
Zhang Liao said that all of his generals who were eager to go to war and achieve great achievements were speechless for a while.
When Zhang Liao said this, they suddenly woke up and realized how dangerous their previous thoughts were!
The truth is just as their general said.
If Mianzhu was in Fucheng's position, they could quickly move forward before the enemy could react and give it a try.
But now, the problem is that Mianzhu is three to four hundred miles away from Jiangyou City, where they are located, and there is Fucheng in the middle.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed very difficult to quickly attack Mianzhu.
Among them, another reason is that because they are taking the Yinping path, there are only less than 7,000 people coming this time...
"People cannot be jealous when they see benefits.
Need to look elsewhere.
Weigh it to see if you can eat it.
Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss!
If you don’t get one right, you will lose everything!!”
When Zhang Liao saw these generals under his command, he stopped talking.
After looking at them, there was a slight silence for a while, then he spoke out again and added this.
After he said this, these generals became more honest.
"Regulate the army immediately, and set out from Jiangyou City in an hour, traveling under the stars and at night, towards Jianmen Pass!
The sooner we welcome the emperor's uncle in, the sooner we can be safe and the sooner we can capture Xichuan!"
…
An hour later, Zhang Liao led his troops and horses along the avenue, heading towards Jianmen Pass quickly...
"...This general named Zhang Liao is really no ordinary person, being able to lead troops and horses from the Yinping path!
I thought he would be blinded by the huge benefits before him.
But he didn't expect that he would be so determined to turn around and lead his troops to Jianmen Pass.
Originally, I wanted to ask my son to remind me, but now it seems that I was overthinking it.
People who are able to take the Yinping Trail and take great risks to come here, see such great benefits, can actually keep their eyes from turning red..."
The woman's voice rang for a while, paused for a while, and then started ringing again.
"All the generals under my command are so rare. I'm afraid Uncle Liu Huang is even more rare.
It seems things are going to change in Xichuan...
However, if the Han clan members beat the Han clan clan members, the meat would eventually rot in the pot..."
Here in Fucheng, after Zhang Liao and others left, Deng Zhi's mother murmured to herself in her house...
…
Mianzhu City.
A fast horse came galloping all the way, bringing news from afar.
This is the return of those who set out from Yizhou and went east to find allies with Liu Yan's order to persuade those people to separate their forces.
The person who came back was not the real owner. The real owner was still lobbying outside, trying to find more allies for Liu Yan.
The people who came back brought the good news first and gave Liu Yan a reassurance.
This group of people entered Liu Yan's mansion unimpeded.
Moreover, he was immediately summoned by Liu Yan, who was dealing with some matters there...
"...Liu Jingsheng, the pastor of Jingzhou, said that he would send troops to attack Chang'an from the west.
At the same time, he also said that he would vent his anger to Yuan Benchu and invite Yuan Benchu to send troops together to challenge Dong again.
Yuan Gongtou, the governor of Nanyang, also said that he was also willing to send troops to fight against Dong with everyone.
To defeat Dong Zhuo and to contribute to the country, no matter what, Yuan Shu is indispensable...
Zhang Shuzuo is going to Xuzhou to see if Tao Qian can be brought with him..."
"call!"
After hearing this person's report, Liu Yan couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his whole body became relaxed.
These guys, just agree to send troops, just agree to send troops!
In this way, my Xichuan can be saved!
This is definitely the best news Liu Yan has heard since he heard that Hanzhong was completely lost and Liu Cheng, the pig-killing leader, came directly to Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass.
"Haha, you did a good job!!"
Liu Yan couldn't help laughing.
Then he was very generous and gave many rewards to these people, and their official positions were also promoted.
After hearing the news, Liu Yan felt a little overwhelmed.
He originally wanted to leave himself with Mianzhu's subordinates, summon them over, and tell them such good news.
As a result, he suddenly remembered Zhang Lu's mother who had been imprisoned by him.
During this period of great pressure, Liu Yan has been lacking in temperament and thoughts.
Now, after hearing such good news, his interest suddenly rose.
It's not too late to take action first, and then tell your subordinates the good news...
Liu Yan thought so.
At that moment, I went to find Zhang Lu’s mother to share the joy...
When Liu Yan just got up, a fast horse also galloped to Mianzhu City.
This fast horse came from the direction of Jiangyou City...
"...Xichuan is stable, our 'son' has caused such a big disaster, I still need to make up for it..."
Liu Yan said this in a room in Liu Yan's house.
The person listening to him was Zhang Lu's mother.
What he said was obviously a deliberate attempt to stimulate excitement.
So that what is going to happen next will be more exciting.
After talking like this for a while and stirring up the atmosphere, Liu Yan started to take action.
The postures were all ready, and just as he was about to enter the alley, he heard the sound of running footsteps outside.
Liu Yan's eyebrows were knitted together.
"Mr. Jun! Something bad has happened! The traitor Liu Cheng's troops have reached Xichuan! The capital of Fucheng has been captured!!"
Someone almost cried shouting from outside.
Liu Yan, who was about to get angry, was shocked when he heard this, and his whole body suddenly softened!
For Liu Yan, this news was like a bolt from the blue!
He was just happy when such news suddenly came from over there, which immediately stunned Liu Yan...
"What, what's going on? This, this is so good, why did it come so quickly?"
He asked aloud, his voice stuttering.
As he asked, he stood up and put on his clothes.
At this time, he was in neither the mood nor the ability to play the alley game...
It was just that her body was shaking so much that it took a long time before she put on her clothes under the service of Zhang Lu's mother, and then walked out with some staggering steps...
Within half an hour, the four gates of Mianzhu City were hurriedly closed...
According to Zhang Liao's marching speed, if he came to attack Mianzhu, he would have just captured Fucheng at this time...
…
Hanzhong, a hidden place, led the soldiers and horses. Zhang Ren, who had been quietly lurking here for two days, began to take advantage of the night to lead his men and march quickly towards Dingjun Mountain...
