Zitong County is located at the southern end of the ancient Shu Road, leaning on Zilin in the east and Tongshui in the west.
Zitong County is located in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin. It belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and was the frontier of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zitong served as the junction of Qin, Shu, Ba, Di, and Qiang. Because "the land is connected to the Qin Pass, and the road is blocked by Shu", it became a barrier for thousands of miles of heaven.
However, after King Hui of Qin used the golden and five-niu plan to open up the ancient Shu road, in 316 BC, Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi led troops to annihilate the Shu Kingdom. In 285 BC, Qin established a county in Zitong, which was much better than the first emperor's
It was 264 years before the county system was implemented nationwide. It can be said that Zitong is one of the earliest ancient counties in China.
Due to its important geographical location, it has always been a battleground for military strategists.
When Wang Can attacked Chengdu, he also focused on Zitong.
At this time, Zitong County was in the hall.
Wang Can is sitting on the main seat with a faint smile on his face; below, Xun You and Guo Jia are sitting on the left, Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang are sitting on the right. Everyone sitting in the hall is
With a smile on his face, especially when he looked at Xun You and Zhao Yun, he showed an expression of admiration.
The two left Hanzhong quietly, led an army to sneak into Zitong, and gradually disintegrated Zitong's power.
It took more than half a month for Xun You and Zhao Yun to capture Zitong.
Zitong County has a long history and a long history, and it occupies a very important geographical location. From Zitong, you can reach the Chengdu Plain south and then capture Chengdu. At the same time, you can reach Hanzhong by heading north to the Hanzhong Basin. As long as Wang Can's army is stationed in Zitong County, you can enter
You can attack, retreat or defend, and you can send troops to attack Chengdu at any time.
Today's Chengdu is like a stunning beauty wearing a thin gauze dress, standing in front of Wang Can, waiting for Wang Can to pick.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Everyone, Zitong has been captured. Do you have any strategies to attack Chengdu?"
Xun You cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Jia Long, Ren Qi and other Yizhou big families are entrenched in Hanzhong. The relationship is complicated, and there are countless Yizhou officials related to them. Now that things have happened, it is time for Jia Long to play his role. My lord can send orders privately."
People contact Jia Long and ask them to wait for an opportunity to control the city gates of Chengdu. When our army arrives in Chengdu, they will immediately open the city gates and welcome the lord into the city. In this way, the lord can easily capture Chengdu without any effort."
Guo Jia then said: "Gongda's words are very reasonable. As long as Jia Long controls the city gates of Chengdu, the lord can easily enter Chengdu. However, in order to create opportunities for Jia Long and also draw out Chengdu's army,
The lord also needs to send a large army to pretend to attack Chengdu, and make a gesture of not giving up until Chengdu is captured, so as to attract the attention of the defenders in Chengdu, in order to achieve the best results."
"good!"
Wang Can put his hands on his hands and laughed, shouting: "Where is Zhao Yun?"
Zhao Yun immediately stood up, cupped his hands and clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the general is here!"
Wang Can ordered: "Zilong, I order you to lead 800 barracks and 3,000 soldiers to set off from Zitong and attack Luocheng. After capturing Luocheng, immediately pretend to attack Chengdu, and you must build up enough momentum.
, let Liu Yan believe it to be true."
"promise!"
Zhao Yun answered with clasped fists, then turned around and stood aside.
Wang Can turned his eyes and shouted: "Where is Yan Yan?"
Yan Yan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the general will be here at the end!"
Wang Can ordered: "Xie Bo, I ordered you to lead three thousand soldiers from Zitong and attack Mianzhu Pass. After capturing Mianzhu Pass, your task is the same as Zilong's. Immediately pretend to attack Chengdu. You must make Liu Yan believe it."
"promise!"
Yan Yan responded with her hands raised, a smile on her face.
He served as the commander-in-chief of the army and led the army to attack Mianzhu Pass alone, which proved that Wang Can did not use him up and then left him idle. After receiving Wang Can's important appointment, Yan Yan's anxiety disappeared and was replaced by ambition.
He will lead the army to capture Mianzhu Pass and fight a hearty and victorious battle.
Wang Can looked at the last two big black men and shouted: "Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang!"
The two stood up at the same time, cupped their hands and said, "The general will be here!"
Wang Can looked serious and ordered: "Zhou Cang is the leader and Pei Yuanshao is the deputy. The two of you will lead the Hanzhong soldiers from Zitong to attack Fucheng. After Fucheng is captured, they will immediately pretend to attack Chengdu and make a gesture of attacking Chengdu.
.”
"promise!"
The two of them bowed their hands, took two steps back, and stood side by side with Zhao Yun and Yan Yan.
Wang Can thought about the three-way army composed of Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, with a smile on his face. These four people formed a three-way army and pretended to attack Chengdu from three different directions, which was enough to make Liu Yanxin think it was true and that Wang Can
Can's army can't wait to attack Chengdu.
In this way, Liu Yan must have been frightened by the three armies sent by Wang Can. When Liu Yan sends an army to resist Wang Can, Chengdu will be empty.
In this way, Jia Long can summon the private soldiers of the big family to control the city gates and even Chengdu.
"Soldiers are valuable and quick, go and prepare!"
Wang Can gave an order, waved his hand, and asked the four men to lead the troops and leave.
After receiving the order, the four of them bowed to Wang Can and turned to leave. In the room, only Guo Jia, Xun You, and Wang Can were left. Now that Wang Can defeated Liu Yan's three armies and led the counterattack, the situation was complete.
Just wait for news from Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang.
Wang Can thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Gongda, you choose one person from the army to garrison Fucheng. Tomorrow, we will lead the troops to advance slowly towards Chengdu."
"promise!"
Xun You answered with his hands raised, a smile on his face.
In the hall, the three of them were chatting and laughing, very happy.
…
Chengdu, Prefecture Mufu.
Liu Yan was wearing a brocade robe and sitting cross-legged on the bed.
At this time, Liu Yan's face was rosy and energetic, his silver-white hair was combed meticulously, and his cloudy eyes were flashing with light, which should not be underestimated. Liu Yan was full of energy, and did not show any signs that a patient should have.
situation. However, people close to Liu Yan all know that Liu Yan has been terminally ill for a long time. Now that this situation occurs, it can only be a reflection of the past and a struggle before death.
In the bedroom, there were only Liu Yan and Zhao Wei, and no one else.
Liu Yan's eyes were like lightning, his tone was low, and he said slowly: "Zhao Wei, you and I have known each other for more than 20 years, and we are close friends with each other. I asked to come to Shu to serve as the shepherd of Yizhou, and you resigned and followed me to Shu.
Loyalty and dedication to the country are exemplary. In the past few days, I was lying on the bed, closing my eyes and thinking about the things I said before, and I was very sad. At the same time, I also wanted to understand that I misunderstood you about what happened a few days ago.
I understand your hard work and I would like to apologize to you."
After speaking, Liu Yan cupped his hands and bowed slightly, bowing to Zhao Wei.
Even though Zhao Wei quickly stood up and stretched out his hands to support Liu Yan, he was unable to stop Liu Yan.
Seeing this, Zhao Wei felt that Liu Yan was really old, and his hero was dying, which was disappointing.
In this era, it was important that the king should serve his ministers, and that the monarch should be above his ministers. However, as a monarch and Zhao Wei's master, Liu Yan apologized to Liu Yan. What's the point?
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than to win over Zhao Wei, appease Zhao Wei, and make Zhao Wei give up.
After Liu Yan sat up straight, Zhao Wei stood back, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I am ashamed of Zhao Wei. Zhao Wei has been staying at home for the past few days and has been thinking about it for a while. Knowing that Zhao Wei didn't think things through well, he decided to
It will make my lord misunderstand. This is Zhao Wei's mistake, not my lord's fault. Please forgive me. Now that the situation is worrying, my lord should take care of his health. Only when Young Master Zhang returns to Yizhou can my lord let Young Master Zhang inherit Yizhou!"
Liu Yan looked bitter and sighed: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."
Immediately, Liu Zhang whispered: "Zhao Wei, Gu appointed you as Yizhou's military advisor general, with full authority to handle the military and political affairs of Yizhou. After Gu's death, you must welcome Zhang'er back and let him succeed Yizhou Mu.
Become the Lord of Yizhou. This is my last wish and my last order. I hope you can fulfill your duties and complete the tasks I have given you."
Having said this, Liu Yan looked at Zhao Wei and said: "If Zhang'er is a man of talent, you can do your best to help him; if Zhang'er is stupid and cannot be cultivated, you can ensure that he will be rich and noble for the rest of his life."
This sentence already means that Zhao Wei felt that Liu Zhang was not good enough and could stand on his own.
After hearing this, Zhao Wei was sweating coldly. He knelt on the ground with a bang and worshiped: "My lord, even though I am so heartbroken, I dare not forget my lord's kindness. As long as I live, I will definitely assist the prince to stabilize Yizhou and defeat Wang Can. I am my lord."
revenge."
"Okay, if you can say that, I'll be relieved, and Zhang'er will be left to you." Liu Yan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, but the redness on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a lingering deathly aura.
At this time, outside the bedroom, an attendant quickly ran in and whispered in Zhao Wei's ear for a while.
In an instant, Zhao Wei's expression changed drastically.
Zhao Wei waved his hand to dismiss the attendant, and took several deep breaths to calm down the shock in his heart.
Seeing this, Liu Yan asked: "What happened? Tell me."
Zhao Wei thought for a while and said: "My lord, the scouts have received news that after Wang Can captured Zitong, he has sent three armies to attack Chengdu. The first army, commanded by Zhao Yun, attacked Luocheng and marched towards Chengdu;
The second army, led by Yan Yan, attacked Mianzhu Pass and headed for Chengdu; the third army, led by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, attacked Fucheng and headed for Chengdu. The third army attacked Chengdu with a fierce force that was difficult to resist."
After Liu Yan heard this, he felt his heart was blocked and his mind was in chaos. He felt that Wang Can was too hateful.
Unfortunately, he no longer had enough time to fight Wang Can.
Liu Yan's face changed, and the blood in his chest kept churning. His ashen face turned red, and a mouthful of blood suddenly appeared. Immediately, his head tilted, and he fell on the bed.
Zhao Wei hurriedly stepped forward, helped Liu Yan up, and let Liu Yan lie on the bed.
It took a while before Liu Yan came to his senses.
However, even after Liu Yan was relieved, he was already breathing out more and taking in less air. At this time, Liu Yan's face was like gold paper, his eyes were dull, his lips were chapped, and there were spots of bright red blood on his face. He stretched out his thin hand and pulled
Zhao Wei stayed and said: "Zhao Wei, we must welcome Zhang'er back, defeat Wang Can, defeat Wang Can!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will live up to my lord's high expectations!"
Looking at Liu Yan's condition, Zhao Wei felt a little sour and sad.
After hearing this, Liu Yan nodded and immediately closed his eyes. He murmured to himself: "Zhao Wei, we must welcome Zhang'er back, defeat Wang Can, defeat Wang Can..." His voice gradually became smaller and smaller.
In the end, only the moving lips were gradually left, and after a while, even the lips became motionless.
Suddenly, Liu Yan let go of Zhao Wei's hand and fell on the bed, losing his breath.
A generation of warlords has since fallen.
However, at this time, Yizhou was in a precarious situation and its future was bleak. More importantly, Liu Yan died, but Liu Zhang had not returned to Chengdu. Now Yizhou had no owner. Even if Zhao Wei stepped forward to take charge of the overall situation, he would inevitably be criticized.
Moreover, with strong enemies outside and worries inside, civil strife is prone to occur in Yizhou.
