Liu Yan looked at his fourth son and said with a smile:
"According to Liu Cheng's usual approach, he generally would not send a large army to attack a city on a large scale.
At this time, the traitor Liu Cheng had just arrived a few days ago, and he still had plenty of food and grass in his hands.
As a result, at this time, we are preparing to attack the city on a large scale. What does this mean?"
Without waiting for Liu Zhang to answer, Liu Yan continued: "This shows that Liu Cheng is a traitor. At this time, he is completely anxious!
I want to end the battle quickly.
So much so that they began to ignore casualties and costs!
What could make Liu Cheng do such a thing?"
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, he looked at Liu Yan, and said excitedly: "What I mean is that it was Liu Jingzhou and Yuan Gongliu who did it?!"
Liu Yan nodded and affirmed: "This must be the case! It must be from Chang'an that a message was sent to traitor Liu Cheng, urging traitor Liu Cheng to return quickly.
Nowadays, only our Mianzhu City is left in Xichuan, and it has not been conquered.
To retreat at this time is to waste all your previous efforts.
The traitor Liu Cheng was definitely unwilling to give in, so he uncharacteristically began to send a large army to prepare for a large-scale attack on the city!
We want to defeat our Mianzhu City in a short period of time!
Then he will lead his troops and go back quickly to face Liu Jingsheng and others!"
As Liu Yan said this, his eyes showed some light.
Liu Zhang, who was standing next to him, was thinking along his father's train of thought. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that things were right, that's how it was!
He immediately said: "Father, what should we do now?"
Liu Yan stood up, looking particularly imposing.
He said: "At this time, the thief is trying his best. As long as we resist the thief's attack, the enemy will definitely retreat, and we will be successful here!"
We, father and son, cannot be idle!
Call your three brothers, my father and my son, and go up to the city wall together to be with the soldiers, boost their morale, and fight this final battle well!"
Liu Yan's voice was loud and clear, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
Liu Zhang looked at his father at this time, and there was also brilliance in his eyes.
When he was a child, he always felt that his father was a very great and amazing man.
He knows everything and can do anything.
Later, as he grew older and knew more and more things, his thoughts changed again.
I feel that my father is just like that, even a little pedantic...
But now, I have seen with my own eyes how my father responded to Liu Kede's powerful offensive.
Especially in the dangerous situation after Jianmen Pass and Jiameng Pass were defeated, how to react quickly, act decisively, find a way out of a desperate situation, and find a chance to survive, how to face my father in my heart,
Became worshiped again.
To be fair, if you were faced with such a situation, you would have no choice but to surrender. The best outcome would be to surrender, completely hand over your fate to the hands of others, and let others control you.
But his father was able to save Mianzhu City!
Let Mianzhu City not be lost!
A desperate comeback!
"Grandpa, I'm going to call Third Brother!"
Liu Zhang saluted his father solemnly, saying this, and quickly walked towards where his third brother was.
Liu Yanze was so excited that he wanted to look up at the sky with his hands behind his hands at 45 degrees, letting his domineering power be released for a little longer...
After Liu Zhang left, someone else quickly came to Liu Yan and reported the matter to Liu Yan.
Wu Lan and Lei Tong, who were guarding the west gate, as well as Jia Long and Jia Long's subordinates guarding the south gate and east gate, came one after another to tell Liu Cheng that they were going to attack the city in a large scale.
Among them, the people sent by Dongmen Jialong spoke the most.
In addition to reporting on Liu Cheng's troops and his upcoming massive attack on the city, he also shared some suggestions given by Jia Long.
"The situation is critical, the thieves are powerful, and they are ready to fight to the death.
Captain Jia said that if the thief was so anxious, it was probably because something had happened in Chang'an.
I want to capture Mianzhu City quickly so that I can lead my troops back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
This is a dangerous thing, but it is also good news.
As long as you can withstand these attacks from the thief, it won't take long before the thief walks away!
Our crisis in Xichuan has been resolved.
Therefore, Lieutenant Jia said that at this critical moment of the decisive battle, I would like to ask you, my lord, to go up to the city wall and walk around the four gates so that all the defenders can see you.
It’s such a morale booster…”
When Liu Yan heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Among these guards, in terms of wisdom and ability in fighting, Jia Long is the one.
People like Wu Yi would only report to themselves that the thieves were about to attack the city in a large scale, but they didn't know to give them any advice.
Jia Long was different. He not only reported the news, but also told the reason why the thief did what he did, and gave himself an idea on what to do next.
It seems that after driving away Liu Kede, I still have to communicate more with Jia Long and send him a beauty.
This guy has such a talent, but he can't just kill the donkey...
"Jia Xiaowei's words coincide with my own thoughts!
I'll do it right away!
You go back and tell Captain Jia that this is the last moment and you must guard it!
If we keep it, we will have endless glory and wealth from now on. If we can't keep it, we will all die without burial!"
After this man saluted Liu Yan, he quickly headed towards the east gate with a few followers.
Report Liu Yanyu to Jia Long and participate in the defense.
Not long after these people left, Liu Zhang pulled his third brother Liu Hao out.
Liu Hao's body was already thin, and his bones had been in poor condition since he was a child.
Ever since Liu Yan became the shepherd of Yizhou, took him into Yizhou, and made a marriage contract for him to Wu Yi's sister, Liu Hao's health became even worse.
I don’t know if it was because the road was too rough and difficult when entering Sichuan, or for some other reason.
It’s a weapon that I don’t like personally.
At this time, Liu Zhang pulled him here, and he didn't know whether it was because he was in poor health or because he was timid. His face looked even paler, and sweat was dripping down uncontrollably.
"Mao'er, this time things are different from before. It's a matter of life and death. The lives of our father and son are all at stake.
This time, no matter what, you can't back down, you must follow your father's footsteps and inspire military morale!"
When Liu Yan saw the third son like this, he felt a little unhappy.
But at this juncture, he did not blame him out loud.
"War is nothing more than that. It would be good if you experience more in the future, Mao'er!
This time, there is no need to worry. We, father and son, are just walking around on the city wall to boost the morale of the soldiers, so that those people can work better for us.
We don't have to participate in the battle ourselves.
There is no danger."
Liu Hao always felt a little frightened.
However, at this time, as the son of Yizhou Mu, he really had no way to avoid it and no reason to avoid it.
Even if you are afraid in your heart, you can only bite the bullet and move forward!
Immediately, he cupped his hands in front of Liu Yan and said, "Father, don't worry!
The child will naturally not shrink back!"
Liu Yan heard the words and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all good sons of our father! This time, let the world get to know you and me, father and son!"
Infected by Liu Yan's heroic spirit, Liu Mao's uneasiness disappeared a lot.
As for Liu Zhang, at this time, he was holding the sword on his waist...
"Grandpa, where should we go to boost morale first?"
Liu Yan and his son put on their armor with the help of their guards.
Sure enough, horses depend on their saddles, and people depend on their clothes.
Three people who have basically never been on the battlefield, at this time, they actually look like that.
After changing his clothes and armor, Liu Zhang looked at Liu Yan and asked.
Liu Yan said: "Go to the east gate first!
The camp of the traitor Liu Cheng is right at the east gate. Under the current circumstances, we must go to the east gate first to let this guy see our father and son!
The morale there is probably the lowest, and we need our father and son to go there the most..."
When the guards on the side heard this, they secretly praised their master's courage.
The matter was decided here, and Liu Yan took his son and a few guards, set up the guard of honor of Yizhou Shepherd, and headed towards the east gate of Mianzhu City in a high-profile manner.
All we have to do is get a big suona and play it in front of us to clear the way.
Along the way, many people in Mianzhu City were watching.
"It's Mr. Jun Lang!
It is Mr. Jun Lang who has personally gone up to the city wall to defend Mianzhu with us and face the enemy directly!
Duke Jun Lang is here! The morale is here!
Lord Jun Lang is here! The city will be defended!"
On the east city wall, Jia Long saw Liu Yan coming with a guard of honor and great fanfare. He seemed very excited and shouted and flattered him.
The morale of the soldiers and horses here in Dongcheng has obviously increased.
Although Liu Yan felt that Jia Long's words were a bit disgusting, he still felt very useful in his heart.
He tried hard to straighten his back to make himself look more majestic.
All the way up to the city wall.
After shouting something about being with the people and defending the city together to boost morale, accompanied by Jia Long, he came to the female wall of the city wall and looked down.
I saw a large army gathering outside, flags fluttering, and many soldiers and horses on display.
There are a large number of soldiers preparing ladders, chariots and other siege tools there.
It seems that Liu Cheng really wants to attack the city on a large scale!
In the front part of the army, a black tiger flag flying high is particularly conspicuous.
Below stood a general wearing armor and holding a large iron halberd in his hand.
Elite cavalry are displayed on the left and right.
From the news he had received before, Liu Yan knew that this person was Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, a clan member of the Han clan who had risen to power to kill pigs.
It was also this time that the Grand Governor led his troops to attack Xichuan!
When he thought that it was this guy who led the soldiers and horses to defeat his Yizhou like this, Liu Yan became extremely angry.
Of course, it also had something to do with the fact that he had support in his heart and felt that Liu Cheng would be able to withdraw his troops.
At this time, he was in front of the three-army formation and came to boost morale, so he wanted to humiliate Liu Cheng and Liu Kede in person.
Let Liu Kede know how powerful he is!
By the way, he also made himself famous, which would facilitate his rule over Yizhou in the future and boost his morale to a greater extent.
So, he cleared his throat and shouted loudly: "Where is Liu Cheng who kills the pig?!
Where is Liu Kede, the grandfather who recognized the thief?
Do you dare to come up and talk to me?!"
In his opinion, this Liu Cheng, the poor people in his family had to kill pigs for a living, so he must not have the opportunity to read any books.
Generally speaking, people who are good at killing pigs and dogs are basically fierce, but debating is not their strong point.
And he, Liu Yan, has been familiar with scriptures since he was a child, and debating is what he is best at!
Therefore, I thought about using my own strengths and the other party's weaknesses to hit him hard several times.
So that you can vent your bad breath and make yourself famous.
In his view, this is a must-win situation.
After all, the two parties are not on the same level at all.
I dare not say anything and let Liu Cheng surrender, but I can still do it if I humiliate him properly!
When Liu Zhang and Liu Hao heard their father say these words, they immediately became full of respect and a little excited.
My father is truly a fearless man!
The traitor Liu Cheng was so arrogant and domineering, with such a vicious reputation. His father actually dared to directly mention the name of the traitor Liu Cheng and scold him in front of so many people and in front of the traitor Liu Cheng.
!
Not far from Liu Cheng, there were many personal guards of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, all of whom followed him and fought their way out.
Back when I was at Sishui Pass, I had witnessed the verbal quarrel between my own commanders!
Now, when I suddenly heard the shouting in Mianzhu City, I couldn't help laughing.
Another iron-headed boy appeared, and the emperor hurriedly insulted him.
With this thought in my heart, I immediately calmed down my mood, transformed into a harpoon, and prepared to eat melon.
Seeing anyone around who had seen the emperor's uncle's demeanor, they looked particularly angry because of what the iron-headed boy in Mianzhu City said.
He immediately told these people as someone who had been there, not to get angry, just watch the show start with peace of mind and watch how the emperor's uncle scolded the people on the city wall until they became autistic.
After receiving hints from people who had passed by, these people quickly became excited.
The entire military formation seemed to be in a bit of an uproar.
Liu Yan, who was in Mianzhu City, felt very touched when he saw this scene.
As soon as I say something, the enemy's three armies move. This feeling is really great!
"This old man dares to show off his rhetoric here!"
Liu Cheng smiled and cursed.
Then he turned around and looked back at his own military formation, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen! Let's see how I can make this old man speechless!"
After that, he rode the big green horse and headed forward.
He was followed by tigers and leopards on horseback.
"Liu Yan, traitor! You are barking like crazy here, but do you think you become the true emperor by building the Emperor's Crown without permission? If you wear the Emperor's Crown yourself and ride on the Emperor's Fighter, you will become the real emperor?!
I have always known that you are just a mediocre person. The late Emperor thought that you were a member of the Han Dynasty, so he made you the shepherd of Yizhou.
You should serve the imperial court and defend the country!
But I didn't expect that instead of remembering the kindness of the late emperor, I would rebel!
…
Your sins are so serious that heaven and earth cannot tolerate it!
Everyone in the world is willing to eat your meat!
Today I am entrusted with the emperor's edict to lead the king's troops to fight against his enemies. You are a traitor, so you should hide behind you, lie down and beg to die!
How dare you bark like crazy in front of Master Wang?!
A brilliant man! A gray-bearded old thief!
You will return under the nine springs today, how can you see the twenty-three emperors!"
