Xun You gave an order, and tens of thousands of troops accelerated towards Yanting. They followed Xu Huang to rest there and headed towards Wucheng. On the Chen Palace side, the navy boarded the ship and went up the river towards Wucheng.
Head towards the city.
Zhang Fei led his troops back to the five cities.
"Come here, bring me some wine."
Hearing that Zhang Fei wanted to drink, his bodyguard also hesitated. It would be bad if Zhang Fei drank.
"Third general, my lord has ordered that drinking is prohibited between battles."
Zhang Fei glanced at the personal guard commander, a look of impatience flashed in his eyes.
"I'm depressed, can't I drink anymore?
Are you the general or am I the general?"
"Third General."
The captain of the guard also felt frightened when he felt Zhang Fei's anger, but there were some things he really had to say.
"Bring me some wine quickly."
Zhang Fei kicked over the desk in front of him and roared at the guard commander again.
"All right."
Now that we have reached the current situation, the captain of the guard has nothing to say. He goes directly to get the wine jar and brings it to Zhang Fei. At the same time, he orders people to go north to Mianzhu to report the news to Liu Bei there.
After everything was done here, Chengdu was well prepared. Jia Xu led his people to Chengdu and at the same time began to collect family letters in preparation for going to Mianzhu.
"Second brother, I've been feeling restless lately. I don't know what's going on."
Yuan Shu did not launch a siege in the past few days, but Liu Bei did not sleep well at all. He was always restless and always felt like something was going to happen.
"Brother, you are too depressed. You haven't had much rest since the previous battle."
Upon hearing Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately expressed his thoughts.
"Maybe. I really haven't slept well these days. You said there won't be any problems in Chengdu."
Liu Bei nodded to Guan Yu. Maybe he was too depressed, but he still felt that something would happen, and the most likely problem now was in Chengdu. If something happened there, he would be finished.
"Brother, the military advisor is a wise man. If he had not been in Chengdu, there might have been problems, but hasn't he gone back now? Don't worry."
Guan Yu smiled at Liu Bei and expressed his opinion directly. With Cheng Yu in charge of Chengdu, those nobles could not make trouble.
"Hopefully, what is the fighting spirit of the soldiers in the city now?
And those barbarian soldiers didn’t do anything wrong.”
Now Liu Bei could only choose to believe Cheng Yu, and then pointed the question at Mianzhu City.
"Brother, the barbarians are newly defeated. We have adopted the advice of the military advisor and separated our soldiers from the southern barbarians. There is no conflict yet, but we are running out of food and grass. Although these barbarians are not big, they are
They are all foodies, and if we continue like this, I am afraid we will be deprived of food by them."
When Liu Bei asked about the situation in the city, Guan Yu frowned and then told the current situation in Mianzhu.
"Grain and grass are not a problem. We will send people to Chengdu immediately and ask Cheng Yu to collect grain and grass and send it over as soon as possible. In addition, we will instruct the counties in Guanghan County to also hurry up and send grain and grass over."
Faced with Guan Yu's problem, Liu Bei didn't take it seriously. During the years when Yizhou was ruled by Liu Yan, the government was sour and the people were harmonious. However, in the past few years, Yizhou has had good weather and abundant grain harvests. There is no problem in supplying his own grain and grass for the time being.
"I'll do it right away."
Guan Yu clasped his fists at Liu Bei and immediately went down to arrange the food and fodder matters.
Juechen came on a war horse, but was immediately spotted by scouts wandering outside, and a team of fifty people immediately surrounded him.
"who?"
Although the scouts were dressed as Jizhou troops, the team leader still asked questions.
"Jia Xu's military advisor reports urgently, Jia Xu's military advisor reports urgently."
When the scout saw that he was surrounded, he immediately told his purpose.
"Everyone immediately escorts the envoy to the camp."
The Fifty-One Cavalry went all the way north, running towards Yuan Shu's camp.
"My Lord, an urgent report from the military advisor has arrived."
Yan Liang took Jia Xu's urgent report and came directly to report to Yuan Shu.
"An urgent report from the military advisor?"
Upon hearing that it was Jia Xu's urgent report, Yuan Shu took it directly and began to examine it.
"Lord, how's it going?
Is there something wrong with Chengdu?”
Yan Liang looked at Yuan Shu's increasingly serious expression and asked directly.
"There is no problem in Chengdu. Jia Xu has already captured it, and Cheng Yu has also been captured."
Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Liang and directly told the news that Chengdu had been captured.
"Since Chengdu has been captured and Cheng Yu has been captured, why is my lord like this?"
Now Yan Liang was even more confused. Since Chengdu had been won, why was Yuan Shu not happy at all?
"Jia Xu had already calculated that Liu Bei would send Cheng Yu back to Chengdu to take charge, and he also knew that Cheng Yu was very suspicious of the Yizhou nobles.
Therefore, Wu Yi was used to cause anger, and Cheng Yu was used to break the nobles' minds and provoke a fight between the two.
The final result was that nearly a thousand family members of the four major noble families in Chengdu were wiped out. Liu Bei's family members in Chengdu were also massacred by the four major families.
He went to Chengdu ostensibly to unite the Yizhou gentry, but in fact he went to borrow Cheng Yu's sword to destroy the Yizhou gentry and destroy the source of the troubles in Yizhou over the years."
Yuan Shu directly told Yan Liang what he saw. This Jia Xu was not a good person. Last time, he used the suspicion between Li and Guo to kill the Han Dynasty officials who stayed in Chang'an. What happened this time?
He used Cheng Yu and the Yizhou nobles to destroy their clan and Liu Bei's family. He really lived up to his name as a poisonous person.
"Lord, I don't think the military advisor has done anything wrong. These aristocratic families are like local tyrants in Yizhou. The roads in Yizhou are difficult to travel and the information is blocked. The people are easily deceived by these powerful families. If they are destroyed, at least the benefits can be guaranteed.
Decades of stability for the state.”
Yan Liang was stunned when he heard Yuan Shu's words, but immediately spoke to Yuan Shu to express his intention.
"I also know that the existence of these noble families is a hidden danger, but there are also many capable and wise men among these noble families. I originally planned to disperse these aristocratic families to the prefectures and counties of the Han Dynasty after taking Yizhou.
This will prevent them from doing evil in Yizhou, and also allow these capable and wise men to be used by me and the common people of the Han Dynasty.
Now that it’s all right, except for the leading figures of a few major families, everyone else has been wiped out. I really have nothing to say.”
Yuan Shu also knew that Jia Xu's approach was not bad. He not only captured Chengdu, breaking the alliance between the nobles and Liu Bei, but also put the title of executioner on Liu Bei. This was the best of both worlds, but it was inconsistent with his plan.
There are some differences,
There are many talented people in the Han Dynasty. If he continues to kill them like this, who will he rely on to defeat the Han Dynasty in the future? His current team will eventually grow old one day, so it is better not to kill them if possible.
"My lord, no matter what, the military advisor's trip was a success, so I hope you won't criticize him too harshly."
Hearing Yuan Shu's explanation, Yan Liang also admired him for a while. All he wanted now was to capture Yizhou and Chengdu, but others had already thought of the deployment after unification. As expected, he could only be a marching general.
"Of course I won't criticize Jia Xu harshly. Don't worry, Jia Xu has already prepared a letter home, and is going to follow Cheng Yu's original method to get the Yizhou soldiers in Mianzhu to surrender. You should immediately give orders to your troops and be ready to fight at any time."
Hearing Yan Liang's words, Yuan Shu just smiled slightly. Naturally, he could not embarrass Jia Xu because of this. After all, he knew that he was doing it for himself, but the method and method still need to be discussed.
"promise."
Yan Liang clasped his fists. Since Yuan Shu had his own ideas, he had nothing to say. He arranged his troops and waited for Jia Xu's men to arrive before he could attack.
Time passed day by day, and Zhang Fei's scouts from Wucheng went all the way north and arrived directly outside Mianzhu City.
"I am the personal guard of the third general, and I have something important to report to your lord."
The guards shouted directly at Liu Beijun on the city wall.
"Put the spider plant down and let it enter the city."
When the captain on the city wall heard that he was Zhang Fei's man, he didn't dare to neglect and immediately put down the spider plant.
The scouts followed the spider plants up the city wall, and then, led by the captain, headed towards where Liu Bei was.
"Brother, the third brother's people are here."
Guan Yu directly brought the scouts from Zhang Fei to Liu Bei.
"Peng Qing pays homage to the Lord."
After the scout entered the door, he directly saluted Liu Bei with clasped fists.
"Peng Qing, why did you come from Yanting?"
Glancing at Peng Qing, Liu Bei's eyes showed a hint of panic. All his hopes now lie in the two Guanghan counties. If something goes wrong with Zhang Fei, he will really be left with only one lone army.
After breaking through Guanghan County in the east, Xun You could completely bypass Guanghan County and attack Guangdu from Jianwei County in the north of Chengdu. After breaking through Guangdu, he could directly take Chengdu.
"My lord, Chen Gong's Jingzhou navy troops are approaching Yanting, and Xun You's troops in Langzhong are also heading straight from Brazil to Yanting. They want to surround the three generals with the navy under Yanting. The three generals have no choice but to take risks.
Attack Chen Gong's water stronghold at night,
But who would have thought that the enemy reacted quickly, not only sending troops to stop our troops, but also using the trebuchets on the warships to directly smash our troops and destroy them.
Then they sent the Jingzhou navy to take a boat north, bypass the battlefield and raid Yanting City. After taking Yanting, they divided their forces and went south, encircling the three generals in Weidi with the Hengye Army and Xuzhou Army.
The third general had no choice but to break his troops into pieces and retreat in separate ways. He now leads more than 10,000 remaining troops to retreat to five cities."
The scout told all about Zhang Fei's situation in one breath. After finishing speaking, he could only lower his head and did not dare to look at Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei heard the scout's explanation, he could only sit slumped on his chair and remained speechless for a long time.
