Cheng Lian's camp was being built in an orderly manner and had not been attacked.
The four gates of Mianzhu City were all closed, and no soldiers came out.
The Xichuan general who was somewhat bloody and wanted to lead his troops out of the pass to show off his skills took advantage of the fact that Cheng Lian had just arrived and the camp had not been established yet, so he caught Cheng Lian off guard.
At this time, I was squatting by the city wall and thinking about my past.
He was quite a big man, and he was squatting there feeling aggrieved.
There are also several footprints on the body.
These are all things he gained in a very short period of time after he made that dangerous suggestion.
"Don't be dissatisfied even if I beat you. How did Nanzheng Pass get lost? How did Nanzheng City get lost? How did Jiameng Pass get lost?
They were all garrison generals who went out to fight Liu Kede and suffered a big loss!
How come it's now, and you still don't have a long memory?
This time, Duke Jun Lang told us well that in order for us to do our best, he gave us all his concubines, why do you insist on leading troops out to attack Liu Kede's subordinates?"
Lei Tong on the side pointed at the general, like a monk in Tang Dynasty, chattering non-stop.
It's been almost half an hour, and I still haven't stopped talking.
The general who had been talking about the footprints on his body lowered his head to the ground, and then he stopped talking...
On the afternoon when Cheng Lian's troops arrived, the troops led by Li Su also appeared in sight of Mianzhu City.
According to the original plan, we rushed all the way to the vicinity of Luocheng, south of Mianzhu City.
After arriving here, Li Su followed Liu Cheng's previous instructions and set up camp at the north gate of Luocheng, preparing to cut off the connection between Luocheng and Mianzhu.
As a result, he had just started ordering soldiers and horses to cut down trees and build camps, but there was already movement on the other side of Luocheng.
Li Su had a sneer on his face.
The people in Luocheng are really bold and do not care about life and death. They actually want to attack themselves while they are not yet firmly established here!
He immediately ordered his soldiers and horses to set up camp when it was time to set up camp.
Prepare for battle secretly.
In order to capture all those Luocheng people who were so daring to come out of seclusion to attack me and others...
After hearing what Li Su said, the soldiers and horses led by Li Su were all full of fighting spirit.
Since these people are so bold and insist on giving military honors, they don't mind taking them!
Then, something unexpected happened to them...
Under their watch, which was ready for battle, there was a white flag on the top of the city of Luocheng, which was causing quite a stir, and it was picked up on a pole and raised cautiously.
Later, the north gate of Luocheng was closed and opened.
Many people who looked trembling came out of it.
Led by the leader holding a white flag, they appeared to be cautiously approaching Li Su and others.
More than 300 steps away from Li Su and others, he stopped, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "Welcome Master Wang to Luocheng!"
Seeing the actions of these people and listening to what these people said, Li Su and the troops led by Li Su were in a daze for a moment.
What about the planned attack?
What about the promised fight?
Why is it that everything has just begun? Before you and others have done anything, you are already surrendering?
Can you stop going at this speed?
Moreover, I and others have no intention of coming to attack you. They are just following the emperor's order to block the connection between you and Mianzhu and prevent you from providing support to Mianzhu.
Why do you have to surrender?
After being stunned for a moment, Li Su thought for a while and ordered the troops: "Let's go over and see what's going on with these people..."
…
"Liu Yan, the traitor, has evil intentions. We are the subjects of the Han Dynasty, so how can we collude with such people?
It's just that before Master Wang arrived, Liu Yan was powerful, and we were just small people with little power, so we couldn't resist even if we wanted to.
Now that Master Wang has arrived, Liu Yan's traitor is frightened and no longer dares to act arrogantly. We will come out immediately..."
The leader said this to Li Su.
This man didn't look too old, just in his early twenties.
The way he talks and behaves seems to be very dignified, not like an ordinary person.
Although he led the people to surrender and faced Li Su's army, he did not feel trembling.
He was not as panicky as the many people behind him who were older than him.
I even hesitated which foot to take first, and I didn't know where to put my hands.
It's just that the leader has a certain bearing, but his appearance is a bit unflattering.
Not to mention his short stature.
The key is that his face is also particularly unattractive.
His face is full of facial features, but the combination of his facial features makes people feel uncomfortable.
It feels a bit sinister...
Li Su heard this and felt that there was some truth in what this man said.
But I think it doesn't make sense.
After all, Luocheng is close to Mianzhu.
Stationing some soldiers and horses, the situation of mutual horns is quite good.
You shouldn't surrender so easily.
He felt there must be some fraud involved.
These people have bad intentions and want to lure themselves and others into the city to do some bad things.
"Don't be hypocritical here!
You have ambushed your troops in the city, and now you are pretending to surrender and tricking us into entering the city. Do you really think I don’t know about such sinister thoughts?!"
Li Su scolded him.
Furious.
As soon as these words came out, the Luocheng officials who were present and asked to surrender suddenly became panicked.
Immediately started to call Qu to defend...
But the leader didn't show much panic.
It's quite a bit like Mount Tai collapsed before him, but his expression didn't change.
"I will first send some soldiers and horses into the city to search. If I really find out that you have evil intentions and want to harm Master Wang, then just wait and accept Master Wang's wrath!"
After Li Su said this, he did not listen to these people's explanations and directly sent troops to Luocheng.
And he also led the army to gather outside the north gate of Luocheng, maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
If something happens inside, be prepared to lead the army to rush in and wipe out the small children.
As for those who came out of Luocheng with white flags and surrendered, they were already under guard by Li Su's troops.
Once something happens in Luocheng, these people's heads will be chopped off immediately.
As for the treatment these people would receive, it was not Li Su who first proposed it at the beginning, but the person who took the lead in surrendering and claimed to be Zhang.
Generally speaking, under such circumstances, many people will feel a little embarrassed when they see this attitude and hear these people take the initiative to say this.
There's a high chance that it won't actually be done.
But Li Su, who has followed Liu Cheng for such a long time, is obviously not an ordinary person.
After hearing this person say this, I reached out to pat him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up to express my praise. I immediately followed the person's suggestion and ordered him to do so...
This unexpected simplicity made all those who surrendered out of the city dumbfounded.
Even this short young man, who had always acted calmly and didn't seem to be panicking at all, was filled with astonishment for a moment...
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say that Uncle Liu Huang's subordinate was an honest person, or whether he should say that this guy didn't have a green face...
…
…
Li Su stood on the top of Luocheng City and looked at the inside and outside of Luocheng City, feeling a little confused for a moment.
He did not expect that the words of those who went out to surrender were actually true.
They are truly surrendering.
He didn't expect that the war would go so smoothly.
When he led his troops over, he really wanted to follow the orders given by the emperor's uncle and guard Luocheng.
Who could have imagined that the entire Luocheng City is now under his control.
This feeling is really strange.
Now, do you think you have overfulfilled the task?
Li Su thought of this.
At the same time, through Luocheng's reaction and some news he got in Luocheng, he also understood Liu Yan's thoughts better.
Defending Mianzhu City, waiting for changes...
"This Mianzhu City is not easy to fight!
Mianzhu City was tall, had many soldiers and horses, and had sufficient food and grass. During this period, Liu Yan ordered people to transport a large amount of food and grass collected from various places to Mianzhu City.
The food and grass collected inside can feed and drink the people inside for two years, which is absolutely no problem..."
Someone said this after saluting Li Su not far away.
This man is the one who took the lead in surrendering here in Luocheng.
He is the secretary of Luocheng.
His name is Zhang Song.
The word Yongnian.
After Liu Yan decided to stick to Mianzhu, he quickly sent troops and horses to various places, and asked the defenders of each city to quickly come to Mianzhu City to garrison.
By the way, I would like to point out how ruthless Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses were, and where they passed, not even a blade of grass would grow.
With such an order, many places in Xichuan became tense and chaotic.
Many officials, many reputable people, quickly packed up their belongings at home, dragged their families and families along with these troops, and set off towards Mianzhu City.
I want to hide in such a safe place.
Zhang Song's elder brother Zhang Su is among them.
Zhang Song advised his brother not to do this. Liu Yan was a house that was about to collapse, so don't rush in.
Zhang Su responded by saying that when Liu Cheng was in Hanzhong, he dealt with many powerful families and confiscated their land and property.
It is said that at such a time, the safest thing is to follow Liu Yanqian.
After what happened this time, Liu Yan will definitely rely on them even more in the future...
Moreover, Liu Yan's reliance on holding on at this time was also stated.
Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and others brought back by Liu Yan's envoy agreed to send troops to jointly attack Dong Zhuo.
When Dong Zhuo was besieged, he would definitely withdraw his troops from attacking Yizhou to deal with these more difficult guys, and in turn persuade Zhang Song not to make mistakes at such a critical moment.
Ask Zhang Song to follow him to Mianzhu City.
Go and work for Liu Yan.
As long as things are done well this time, then the Zhang family will have nothing to worry about in the future!
How could Zhang Song follow his brother Zhang Su to Mianzhu?
Neither of the two brothers could convince the other, and in the end they were frustrated. Zhang Su even cut off relations with Zhang Song directly.
Expelled Zhang Song from their Zhang family.
He said that if he didn't have time, Zhang Song would harm their Zhang family and destroy them.
After the two brothers broke up, Zhang Su led most of the Zhang family, as well as the Zhang family's money and other things, to Mianzhu to follow and support Liu Yan.
Zhang Song stayed in Luocheng according to his own ideas.
He was not idle while staying in Luocheng, and soon began to wander around.
He called on those who stayed in Luocheng to join him in opening the city to welcome Master Wang.
The situation in front of us has become like this.
Basically the defenders were transferred to Mianzhu City by Liu Yan.
It is really difficult to defend Luocheng just by relying on people like them.
It was also because of this that Zhang Song led the leading figures in Luocheng to surrender and welcome Wang Shi into Luocheng...
Li Su heard this and looked at Zhang Song.
In the beginning, he was like most people.
When I first met Zhang Song, I felt that Zhang Song was very ugly.
Therefore, Zhang Song was looked down upon.
But now, after experiencing some things, Li Su's view of Zhang Song has also changed greatly.
I know that this man does not look good-looking. He cannot be described as ordinary, and can only be described as plain-looking.
However, there is something deep inside, which cannot be compared with some wine bags and rice bags.
"Zhang Shuzuo thinks, can we capture Mianzhu City this time?"
Li Su looked at Zhang Song and asked with a smile.
Zhang Song did not hesitate and nodded immediately: "Mianzhu City must be destroyed!"
"Why is Zhang Shuzuo so sure?"
Zhang Song smiled and said: "Uncle Liu Huang, following the emperor's order, brought Master Wang here.
Within one month, they attacked Dongchuan and broke through the natural barrier of Xichuan. The soldiers and horses came directly to Mianzhu City.
Liu Yan's move was equivalent to giving up all the other places except Mianzhu City.
Within one month, all that was lost in the huge Yizhou was Mianzhu City. Under such circumstances, no matter how many soldiers, horses, food and grass were in Mianzhu City, they would not be able to sustain it for long..."
Li Su said: "This is different. This time, Liu Yan is determined to defend Mianzhu.
Moreover, I heard that Liu Yan had already sent envoys eastward to lobby Liu Biao and others, inviting them to send troops together to attack the imperial court.
Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and others also agreed to this matter, sharpened their swords, and prepared to march westward again.
By this time, they might all have arrived in Luoyang.
Once they take action, Liangzhou's Ma Teng and Han Sui will not stop either.
When the time comes, these troops and horses will work together, and the imperial troops and horses will definitely not be enough. If the battle situation becomes tense, Dong Xiangguo will definitely ask me to return to the army.
Go fight these people.
Once the troops and horses are withdrawn, Liu Yan will be able to win..."
After Zhang Song saluted Li Su, he said: "Uncle Liu Huang is known throughout the world for his good fighting skills, and he is the best in the world today!
Mianzhu City must have been captured before Liu Biao and others took action.
As for Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and others, they may not march westward to attack the imperial court as they said!"
