"Okay, I have secretly arranged for two thousand elites to enter the city. At the same time, I have also agreed with the 50,000 troops outside the city to lead the army into the city in three days. When the siege begins to attract the attention of the soldiers and horses in the city, the hidden soldiers and horses will
will directly raid the state pastoral office,
What you all have to do now is to persuade the soldiers and horses in the city to let them wait and see what happens, and if you are able, join our soldiers and horses in the city to sneak attack on the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. As long as you can capture Liu Yan, everything will be fine.
After you capture Liu Yan, you still need to use your reputation to announce to the people in Chengdu that Liu Yan is guilty of betraying the interests of Yizhou and uniting with the Southern Barbarians, so that the people of Chengdu can accept my lord."
Cheng Yu stated his request directly.
Zhang Song and others looked at each other, and then each nodded. To be honest, although they do not occupy high positions in Yizhou's ruling system, their influence on the middle and lower classes is completely greater than that of Liu Yan, and Cheng Yu's arrangement
It also maximizes their power.
"This matter is simple. I still have five hundred private soldiers at home who can follow Xuande Gong to raid the Prefecture Mufu."
Zhang Song directly reported the troops and horses he could support.
"I also have 600 private soldiers, and we can raid the state shepherd's house together."
"I can also support four hundred people."
Everyone just said something to each other, and they gathered nearly 3,000 private soldiers. If they are paired with Guan Yu's 2,000 elite soldiers, they can use almost 5,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu City alone. With 5,000 people
It can be said that it is easy to sneak attack on the unprepared state pastoral palace.
"Okay, if that's the case, then we'll launch in the evening three days later. We must capture Liu Yan in one fell swoop."
After hearing what everyone said, Cheng Yu also nodded.
"promise."
For a time, an undercurrent surged throughout Chengdu, and a storm secretly formed against Liu Yan. Poor Liu Yan didn't know anything at all.
Soon the time agreed with Zhang Fei came. Zhang Fei gathered his soldiers and horses in the camp. Looking at the confused soldiers in front of him, a ray of light flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes.
"Are you wondering why I pulled you up this late at night?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhang Fei's words. Indeed, they had no idea why they were being pulled out at this late hour.
"Do you know why Liu Yan transferred us to leave Hanjia County and go north to Chengdu?"
Zhang Fei continued to speak and shouted to his subordinates.
"Yes, why did the general send us north?
Aren't you afraid that the Nanman people will take the opportunity to enter the north of Yizhou?"
After looking at Zhang Fei, a captain directly asked a question.
"Liu Yan is naturally not afraid of the invasion of the Southern Barbarians, because he has ceded all the four southern counties to the Southern Barbarians tribes, and wants to exchange the land of the four counties for the support of the Southern Barbarians. I would like to ask now, do you agree with him taking the benefits?
Do you want to exchange your own interests for the land where the people of this state are born and raised?"
Hearing the captain's words, Zhang Fei spoke again and directly said what Cheng Yu had told him. As long as Liu Yan was accused of betraying Yizhou, even if these soldiers would not attack Chengdu with him with all their strength, it would not be the key.
Always hold back.
At this time, all the Yizhou soldiers were stunned. They had never imagined that Liu Yan would betray Yizhou's interests in exchange for the Nanman people. Moreover, this was only Zhang Fei's one-sided statement, and they remained skeptical.
"I know you may not believe what I say, but this is the fact. I have decided to lead my troops to attack Chengdu and capture Liu Yan. If you agree, you can attack with me. If you don't want to come, you don't have to go. But if anyone dares
If you are harboring evil intentions and stumbling upon me at the critical moment, you have to ask for the steel sword in my hand and send out troops."
Zhang Fei had long expected this situation, and he didn't expect these Yizhou soldiers to fight with him. As long as he captured Liu Yan, these people were still his soldiers, so there was no need to be too harsh.
Thirty thousand Jingzhou soldiers followed Zhang Fei and fought directly to the gates of Chengdu. The other 20,000 Yizhou soldiers hesitated for a while and finally followed them.
"Beat the drum and report to your lord quickly that there are enemy troops coming to kill you."
Zhang Fei sent out troops and was soon seen by the soldiers and horses on the Chengdu city wall, pointing to the distance and shouting loudly.
"Dong dong dong."
The dull war drums exploded directly at the top of the Chengdu city. At this moment, everyone woke up from their sleep. They unsheathed their swords and guns and looked at the city. At the same time, the captain in charge of guarding the city also went directly to the city top, looking into the distance with confusion.
"Where did the soldiers and horses come from?"
The captain asked the people around him.
"Sir, the direction seems to be coming from Liu Bei's camp outside the city."
The man looked at the captain and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Tell the soldiers and horses to prepare for battle, and immediately send people to the military camp to ask them to send troops to support. Another person is sent to the state pastoral office to report to the Lord."
When the captain heard that the soldiers and horses were coming from the direction of Liu Bei, he was startled for a moment, and then immediately arranged his troops and horses to prepare for battle, and at the same time asked the soldiers and horses in the military camp to go out to support the city wall.
"promise."
Soon two war horses ran out from the city wall, one headed for the Prefectural Mufu Mansion, and the other headed for the military camp not far from the city wall.
"What did you say?
Are there soldiers and horses rushing from the direction of Liu Bei's camp?
Bring someone with me to the city wall immediately."
When guard Zhao Yu heard the news, he woke up from his sleep and summoned troops to prepare to support the city wall.
But there was something unusual in the camp today. More than half of the captains were not in the camp, including the team members under their command. Without these middle-level officers, it would be difficult to organize the troops because all the ministries interacted with each other.
Without command, even if Zhao Yu is a left-behind general, it is impossible.
"Sir, what should we do now?
These captains don’t know what they are doing, and their troops cannot be organized at all.”
A school captain came to Zhao Yu and asked him questions with a frown.
"You can't control that much anymore. You immediately send people to search for them in their respective homes. Once you find them, ask them to come back immediately. The rest of the people will go directly to the city wall with me."
Since these people could not organize themselves for the time being, Zhao Yu had no choice but to rush towards the city wall with his troops and horses ready.
"who?"
The cavalry who rushed out from the city wall went directly to the outside of the State Shepherd's Mansion and were stopped by the soldiers outside.
"Unidentified soldiers and horses were found outside the city. They came from the direction of Liu Bei's camp. The captain sent me to report to your Excellency."
The cavalry immediately jumped off their horses and clasped their fists at the soldiers to express their intentions.
"I'll report it to your lord right away."
Hearing what the cavalry said, the soldier outside the door was immediately stunned, but he also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay and ran straight towards the mansion.
"Why are you so panicked?"
As soon as the soldiers entered the mansion, they were spotted by the patrolling guard captain, who frowned and asked him questions.
"Sir, someone came from the city wall just now and said that unknown soldiers and horses appeared outside the city. They came from the direction of Liu Bei's camp. They came here to report to Lord Zhou Mu."
When he saw the captain of the guard, he knelt down on one knee and reported to him the news he had just received.
"I see."
After speaking, the captain of the guard ran directly towards the room where Liu Yan was resting.
"Lord."
The captain of the guard shouted from outside the door to the inside of the room.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Yan, who was resting, was directly awakened by the voice of the guard commander.
"My lord, there are unknown soldiers and horses outside the city. The captain guarding the city speculates that they may be Liu Bei's soldiers and horses."
Upon hearing the words of the chief of guard, the door of the room was opened directly, and Liu Yan appeared directly in front of him in his pajamas.
