In short, the genius Xing Daorong, after some superb acting skills, accomplished the task assigned to him by Jiang Wan and Cao Cao outstandingly, and it can even be said to be extraordinary.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian wouldn't know it now. After all, his request for Jiang Wan was just to hope that Jiang Wan could use some methods to create a gap between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang. No matter what, he couldn't let Liu Bei get it easily at this point in time.
Yizhou.
Now it seems that this goal has basically been achieved.
Not only that, Xing Daorong successfully escaped from the chaotic Chengdu with the help of Li Fu - and the special soldiers who followed Li Fu also left after the success, regardless of Zhang Song's presence.
Later, did he realize that they were being fished? The relationship between him, Fazheng and others, and Liu Zhang was completely broken.
This alone was enough for Liu Zhang to let go of all his expectations for Liu Bei and turn his emotions into anger towards Liu Bei.
The armies of Pang Xi and Cheng Ji quickly arrived in Chengdu, which was the most unexpected surprise for Zhang Song and others.
Zhang Song and others, who had originally planned to give up their long-established plan in Chengdu, had to give up their long-established plan in Chengdu. They were planning to escape, but because there were pursuers in front of them and interceptors in the back, they panicked and chose their way out.
However, a very heavy price was paid.
Zhang Song was eventually arrested, while Fazheng Mengda, Li Yan and others, who had heard the news and ran away in advance, escaped from the center of the chaos.
Liu Zhang remembered Xing Daorong's reminder and asked Zhang Song where the map was, but Zhang Song couldn't answer any questions and was eventually executed in grief, anger and unwillingness.
This unexpected rebellion came to an end.
——
Of course... the impact of this rebellion goes beyond that.
The fire in the city was placed in a very tricky position - two granaries that stored a large amount of military rations suffered serious damage.
Liu Bei's battle on the front line had consumed a lot of the food and grass that Yizhou had accumulated over the years. Coupled with this sudden fire, Liu Zhang was in no mood to let Liu Bei, a duplicitous villain, contain Cao Cao on the front line for him.
.
However, Liu Zhang and some of the people around Liu Zhang were not stupid either.
Veteran Yan Yan definitely performed extremely well in the process of counterinsurgency.
As for Pang Xi, whose plan was disrupted, with Cheng Ji's pull, he could only lie dormant - dormant was not an option, he had to show his loyalty now - so in desperation, Pang Xi directly proposed a plan to trap Liu Bei.
plan.
Yan Yan and Cheng Ji all agreed with this, and a plan to do the opposite came into being.
This... is why Zhuge Liang received such a covert letter from Liu Zhang.
Zhuge Liang, who was fighting a fierce battle with Xia Houyuan near Dingjun Mountain at that time, could only suspect that their plan was exposed based on this letter, but he was completely unable to be sure of Liu Zhang's intentions.
Zhuge Liang's reaction actually played into Liu Zhang's hands.
As long as Liu Bei's defenses were lax when he entered Sichuan, he planned to rely on Pang Xi and Cheng Ji, together with Zhang Renyanyan and others, to shut down Liu Bei's army.
If it happens, Liu Bei's defeat will definitely be an opportunity for Liu Zhang to establish diplomatic relations with Cao Cao.
This consideration cannot be said to be far-reaching.
And the cause of all this is the extraordinary performance of Xing Daorong and Li Fu.
These are the earth-shaking changes that have taken place around Chengdu in the days after Xing Daorong left.
——
Nowadays, Liu Beijun's situation has taken a turn for the worse.
Near Micang Mountain, the mountain road back was far more dangerous than when it came. While Zhuge Liang was rushing on the road and wanted to do his best to prevent the decline of the army, he was also worried about the safety of his soldiers.
In fact, the journey from Dingjun Mountain back to our own military formation on Jinniu Road took five days. However, in just two days, the number of people killed or injured due to accidental falls from the cliff or due to mountain sliding had already exceeded 200.
.
Liu Bei's army had an elite force of 30,000 when he arrived, but when he left, this number was already less than 20,000.
Even Zhuge Liang was helpless about this.
"Military advisor...it's not good...the rocks ahead have collapsed, and the only passage has been blocked!"
Zhuge Liang's position was in the middle of the marching team. At noon on the third day, just before the army was about to embark on a slightly gentle road, Huang Zhong, who was in charge of the front army, asked someone to deliver the bad news.
"Could it be that God wants to kill me?"
Although he had been mentally prepared, Zhuge Liang was inevitably a little frustrated after learning about this incident.
"Send people quickly to clear the road. We must open the access before the sun sets. We can't afford to be delayed anymore——"
"Here!"
Although the soldier answered simply, everyone could see the fatigue on his face.
Zhuge Liang watched the pawn go away, finally feeling discouraged.
He climbed down from his horse, and before the army started to speed up, he walked straight to Liu Bei who was being carried in a sedan chair.
"Kong Ming...you...are you okay?"
Liu Bei really didn't know what to say now. He trusted Zhuge Liang immensely, but to be honest, in this situation, if Zhuge Liang really wanted to ask him for help, he would have no choice.
But it was obvious that Zhuge Liang had no such thoughts about Liu Bei at all.
He just waved his hand at Liu Bei - and then, this slightly weird scene appeared.
Liu Bei stood up from the sedan quickly and made room for Zhuge Liang diligently.
Well - his legs had already healed, so Zhuge Liang asked him to get up, and Liu Bei didn't hesitate at all.
Then Zhuge Liang plopped down into the sedan, held his head with one hand, raised his neck, and closed his eyes——
"Kong Ming...what are we going to do next...?"
"Leave me alone."
"Hey..."
Good fortune never comes alone, but misfortune never comes alone... Zhuge Liang suspected that by the time they rushed back to the frontal military formation, what he worried about had already happened.
——
It can only be said that after Zhuge Liang went against Yi Xiaotian, most of his clever calculations failed. He could only predict bad news when he predicted it.
That's right, two days have passed since Wei Yan fought his way out of Jinniu Road, from the middle section of Mamingge Road, and along Chencang Road to Wudu Xiabian.
Like a wild horse running wild, the small cavalry army sent by Huo Jun to pursue Wei Yan obviously failed to catch up with Wei Yan's large army.
"Why did General Wei Yan run so fast at this time!!"
No one could answer Huo Jun's angry howl, because Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others had been fighting Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu Cao Zhen's large forces for days.
Not only were they unable to escape, but the opponent's exaggeratedly fast cavalry made the two heroes Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun retreat steadily, unable to parry.
In just two days, their military formation had been forced back to the middle of the ancient road by Cao Jun. In about one day, they would have retreated ten miles. If this continued, it was obvious that they would not be able to hold on.
