Chapter 1,492: Gather troops and attack again
However, the appearance of Cornus officinalis also gave Yi Xiaotian a sudden idea of the future development of the dishes in a tavern.
In today's era, although there are pioneer chambers of commerce like the Blue Bird Chamber of Commerce that opened up long-distance trade routes, in the final analysis, the circulation of materials in the ununified era was fundamentally frustrated.
Ever since a tavern launched fresh, high-quality pork dishes, meat dishes and barbecue have become quite popular in the north.
Even because Yi Xiaotian invented the systematic process of making pigs, the people in the north have gradually developed the profession of making pigs - just like many blacksmiths in the north have developed skills such as nailing horseshoes. It can be said that
Yi Xiaotian leads many side businesses and can be regarded as a patriarch-level figure.
But as the saying goes, food and sex are also good - Yi Xiaotian has not forgotten the craftsmanship he started...
In short, after seeing the dishes that were completely different from those in the north, Yi Xiaotian felt confident that some novel dishes might be invented in a while.
——
This is because Yi Xiaotian and others did not stay longer in Yong'an City.
Especially after seeing the defenses here, the worry in his heart became stronger and stronger.
As the saying goes: "The belly of the fish is the key to disaster and fortune in Yizhou."
The belly of this fish refers to where Yong'an is located - and not far from Yong'an there is a famous mountain called Baidi Mountain.
Of course, compared to Baidi Mountain, the city on the mountain may be more famous.
Baidi City…
In another time and space, after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, he used this place as a base to launch the famous Battle of Yiling.
Of course, the result of the war ended with Liu Bei's defeat...
After Liu Bei's defeat, he took care of himself in this city, and the first emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty died in depression.
But now, looking at Baidi City in the distance, Yi Xiaotian was greatly disappointed with Liu Zhang's formation of troops at these desired checkpoints.
He didn't know who the generals were guarding Badong now. One thing was certain - if Liu Bei gathered his troops and stormed this place soon, with the current defense strength, the city would be destroyed within three days.
break.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian hoped that Liu Zhang would be able to provide some snacks and not give up such a good pass for nothing, but for a while he didn't know where to go to remind him.
Their current identities are nothing special, especially Zhao Yun——
Zhao Yun is now going to disguise himself again...
Many people here in Yizhou have seen Zhao Yun's appearance. Out of caution, Yi Xiaotian asked Fan to disguise Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun, who was originally fair and fair, now has a dark face and looks like Zhang Fei.
Somewhat similar.
After thinking over and over again, Yi Xiaotian decided to leave as soon as possible. Instead of looking for someone to remind them to strengthen the city defense like a headless fly, it would be better to rush to Chengdu and find Cai Zhaoji and the others.
Not long after, everyone was on their way again.
But what they didn't know was that Jingnan had mobilized a large number of troops and was about to launch another unprecedented war.
——
Yidu County was called Linjiang a few years ago, but since Liu Bei came to Jingnan, he has often been active in Nan County and Linjiang... In addition to being wary of Cao Ren in the north, the biggest reason is that he has always been
He is eyeing Yizhou to the west.
When Zhuge Liang was just starting out, he set a grand blueprint for Liu Bei to divide the world into three parts.
Although there were setbacks in taking over Jingnan, he still made it smoothly.
But after fighting in Chibi and losing the battle to Xiangyang... Liu Bei seemed to be having trouble with everything, whether it was that his fake route to Yizhou was defeated in the battle for Han, or he broke with Liu Zhang and lost the great opportunity to capture Yizhou——
Or maybe it was the plan to occupy Jiangdong that had been prepared for a long time. Every step that seemed to be very safe ended in his failure.
Of course, the reason can be summed up very simply - Yi Xiaotian.
He didn't know why, but every time he wanted to go a step further, Yi Xiaotian would appear in front of him inexplicably.
In the past two years, he has not had any major conflicts with Cao Cao. Cao Cao, who has always been entrenched in the north, seems to no longer have the ambition to send his troops south.
It's not hard to think about this. He and Cao Cao are about the same age. They are both people who have been fighting for the world all their lives. In their old age, they will inevitably be exhausted physically and mentally, and they will not be able to do what they do.
But after surviving Cao Cao... a younger Yi Xiaotian appeared in front of him, which was somewhat unacceptable to Liu Bei.
He even sometimes couldn't help but think about it at night, why did Yi Xiaotian choose someone other than him back then?
Why was it that Cao Cao was able to meet such a noble person?
Of course, Liu Bei would never say such words to his face. Now that he has Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick by his side, and with the help of counselors like Fazheng Mengda who are very suitable to him, it is only a matter of time for him to rise again.
But Yi Xiaotian is like a stubborn stone in his heart. If he can't get rid of this person, he may not be able to sleep peacefully one day in the future.
Jiangdong's group suffered heavy losses, and Yi Xiaotian seemed to have defeated him head-on again...
But this time it’s different——
As mentioned before, with Crouching Dragon and Phoenix on their side, even if they sometimes fail, they will generally do well.
No... Jiangdong's defeat really damaged his vitality.
But the same thing... At this time, Sun Quan no longer had the strength to pursue them, and Xiangyang in the north also threw a rat weapon. Cao Ren was almost besieged by Guan Yu and died on the Jiangxia side.
This is a three-loss situation, but the difference is... they still have a backup plan.
At this time, standing on the city wall of Yidu City, Liu Bei felt as if he was high-spirited.
In nearly a month, under the coordination of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Jingnan was able to squeeze out its last 80,000 troops.
In the previous several wars, the three counties of Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang, which were firmly in the rear, were actually not affected much by the war. Although they were relatively poor areas in Jingzhou in the past, Fa Zheng made great achievements in terms of political achievements during this period.
After considerable improvement, the population and grain output of the three counties have continued to rise, and there are faint signs of becoming a granary barracks in Jingnan.
But as I said...this is the last 80,000 troops that Jingnan can produce now.
Guan Yu's 20,000 elite navy cannot be moved - although Xiangyang no longer dares to attack rashly, and Sun Quan in the east does not have much combat power, it is still necessary for Guan Yu to guard Jiangling, which is the core of Jingnan.
If something happens to Jiangling, all future arrangements will be empty talk.
In short... 80,000 troops gathered towards Yidu, and Wei Yan finally returned to battle——
From Chen to Huangzhong, each led an army, while Zhang Fei and Huo Jun guarded the rear army. Their first target was naturally Yong'an in Badong County. As long as they could capture Yong'an County, the subsequent influx of armies into Yizhou would be unstoppable.
