Liu Yan's sudden death did not have much impact on Wang Can, because Wang Can's army was approaching, and he only needed enough strength to capture Chengdu and establish victory.
However, for the interior of Yizhou, a storm is coming, especially in Chengdu, where the impact will be even greater.
If Liu Yan hadn't delegated power to Zhao Wei early, and Zhao Wei would handle major matters, allowing Zhao Wei to take power, the officials in Yizhou would have been fighting among themselves, or they would have chosen to surrender to Wang Can.
The people who greeted Liu Zhang have not yet returned to Chengdu, and the heirs of Yizhou are missing. Perhaps Liu Zhang will not be able to play a big role after his return, but the hearts of Yizhou officials can be stabilized. Now that Liu Zhang is not in charge, the officials' sense of belonging cannot be condensed.
Up, not a single target exists.
In addition, Wang Can was leading troops outside, which made Yizhou officials even more undecided.
At Mianzhu Pass, in the main camp of the Chinese army, Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and said: "Fengxiao, Liu Yan died, Zhao Wei did not send an army to attack the three armies. The army was stationed in Luocheng, Mianzhu Pass and Fucheng
Waiting for Zhao Wei's reply is too passive, I decided to lead the troops to approach Chengdu, what do you think?"
Guo Jia smiled and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Ren An's visit to the lord has not achieved any results. After returning, Zhao Wei will definitely send envoys to the lord again to sue for peace. During this period, the lord led an army to approach.
Chengdu made a very correct decision by pressing Zhao Wei, and Jia thinks it is feasible."
Liu Yan's three armies were wiped out, leaving Yizhou empty with no soldiers or generals. Wang Can led the army and was not afraid of Zhao Wei's troops. Once the two armies fought, Zhao Wei would still suffer.
The harder Wang Can led his troops and pushed harder, the more uncomfortable Zhao Wei became, and the wider the bottom line was.
Of course, Wang Can can also lead troops to attack Chengdu directly, but even with Jia Long as an internal support in Chengdu, many soldiers will inevitably be lost. Wang Can worked step by step, gradually disintegrating Zhao Wei and others' determination to resist to the death, and finally surrendered without a fight.
The best way to achieve the effect of human troops is to capture Chengdu without spending a single soldier.
Wang Can looked at Xun You and asked, "Gongda, what do you think?"
Xun You said: "My lord, it is the right thing to do for the army to march to Chengdu, and it should be so. However, behind the army there is Lingbao leading more than ten thousand elite soldiers to fight with Deng Zheng. If Lingbao suddenly retreats and leads the army to attack the lord, it will be inevitable.
It will affect the lord's plan to attack Chengdu. Therefore, You suggested that the lord leave an army behind to ensure the safety of the retreat to avoid being raided by Lingbao."
"Snapped!"
Wang Can slapped his palm on the desk and said suddenly: "Gongda is right, I almost forgot about Lingbao. I have fought against Liu Yan's army these few times, and won consecutive battles without any setbacks. I have almost forgotten about it."
, I have forgotten that the army led by Lingbao is at war with Deng Zheng. This person can lead an army of more than ten thousand, and can persist for such a long time relying on the supplies of Nanjiang and Bachuan. He is quite capable and should not be underestimated."
"Since Lingbao is behind, let's deal with Lingbao once and for all. Well, I decided to send a large army to destroy Lingbao and solve my worries."
"Zilong is both civil and military. With Zilong leading the army, I can rest assured."
Wang Can thought for a while and expressed his decision.
Xun You shook his head and said: "My lord, General Yan and General Zilong are both brave and brave. They are both capable of killing enemies and making meritorious deeds when mounted, and commanding an army when dismounted. They also have the ability to defeat Lingbao. However, You thought that my lord sent General Yan to go there."
It would be more appropriate to exterminate Lingbao, my lord, please think again."
Guo Jia had nothing to do with his own affairs and was hanging high. Seeing that he had no part in it, he squinted his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to rest.
Wang Can shook his head and said: "Gongda, when Heber occupied Baocheng, he killed Deng Zheng's son Deng Fang. If Heber went there, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Can's eyes suddenly lit up.
A smile appeared on Wang Can's face and he said: "Gongda, do you want Xibo and Deng Zheng to reconcile and resolve their conflicts?"
Xun You nodded and said: "My lord is wise, General Yan killed Deng Fang when he raided Baocheng. If this matter is not handled well, trouble will arise sooner or later. Even if Deng Zheng is afraid of the lord's power and does not express it on the surface, he must be secretly afraid of it."
Action will be taken. Therefore, if you want to resolve the grudge between the two, they must resolve it face to face."
"On the one hand, resolving the conflict between Yan Yan and Deng Zheng is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Lingbao and Yan Yan are both Yizhou generals and once served as generals together. General Yan led the troops to attack Lingbao. Compared with General Zilong, he is more
Well, it is easier to say surrender to Lingbao." Xun You handed over his hand and said: "No matter what the relationship between General Yan and Deng Zheng is, Lingbao must be resolved. This is the most important thing."
Guo Jia nodded imperceptibly, with a smile on his face.
Wang Can said with a smile: "Gongda is old and looking for a country. I have Gongda to help me, which is better than thousands of troops. Well, let's send Heber to lead the army to attack Lingbao." After finishing speaking, Wang Can shouted: "
Someone come!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier quickly ran in from outside the camp.
Wang Can ordered: "Please ask General Yan to discuss matters!"
"No!" the soldier nodded in response, then clasped his fists and left. Not long after, Yan Yan, wearing armor, strode into the camp, bowed and saluted: "General Yan Yan, please pay homage to the lord."
"sit!"
Wang Can waved his hand for Yan Yan to sit down, and then asked: "Xiebo, how much do you know about Lingbao?"
Yan Yan didn't know why, so he said truthfully: "Reporting to my lord, Lingbao is a man of strong energy, courage and strategy. Among the generals of the Yizhou army, he is also the best choice. Although Lingbao's martial arts is inferior to that of General Zhou.
And General Pei, but his victory lies in his resourcefulness, and he is also a rare general. Lingbao and Deng Zheng have been confronting each other for more than a month, so my lord must be able to see Lingbao's ability."
Wang Can nodded and said: "I am going to let you lead the troops to capture Lingbao and use it for me. Are you qualified?"
Yan Yan thought for a moment and said: "My lord, if the general kills Deng Zheng's son, I'm afraid...!?"
Wang Can said seriously: "Deng Fang was killed by you, and you offended Deng Zheng. This is one of the reasons why I sent you to attack Lingbao. I hope you can resolve the conflict with Deng Zheng. Now that Deng Zheng has taken office
, lost the position of meritorious officer, and Deng Fang was also killed by you, no one from the Deng family will be an official. Let me give you a quota, and you can arrange for the descendants of the Deng family to serve in the army or become officials.
, this is a privilege I give you, you can use it at your own discretion, and don’t use it unless necessary.”
To put it bluntly, this is an exchange of interests.
He used his power in exchange for Deng Fang's life, but Wang Can still hoped that Yan Yan would not use it.
Yan Yan knelt on the ground with one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, even though Yan is a mess, he will definitely defeat Lingbao's army, capture Lingbao alive, and resolve the conflict with Deng Zheng."
Wang Can nodded and said: "Go ahead and lead the troops to defeat Lingbao as soon as possible. When I take Chengdu, I hope you can come back with the troops."
"I will finally retire!"
Yan Yan cupped her fists and shouted, stood up and left.
After Yan Yan left, Wang Can ordered again: "Gongda, you immediately draw up an order and order Zilong, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to give up the feint attack and directly lead the army to attack Chengdu. Next time, wait for Zhao Wei
When sending envoys, I will meet Zhao Wei's envoys outside Chengdu, not at Mianzhu Pass."
"promise!"
Xun You cupped his hands and answered, immediately drafting an order and passing it on.
The army set off for Chengdu.
…
Zhao Wei sent Ren An to Mianzhu Pass to meet Wang Can. Not only did he fail to accomplish the task, but he also asked Wang Can to give up the troops he had accumulated in Luocheng, Mianzhu Pass, and Fucheng, and the army quickly moved south.
This sudden change immediately touched the hearts of countless people. Some cheered and rejoiced, some sighed, and some were afraid... In short, different people have different ideas. No matter what, Wang Can's army has moved south.
It is a foregone conclusion that Chengdu is already facing the danger of Wang Can's siege.
Chengdu and Yizhou were engaged in the Jia Mansion.
Jia Long, Li Yuan and Cui He were sitting in the study, discussing how to open the city gate and welcome Wang Can into the city.
Li Yuan said: "Jia Gong, Wang Can has led his troops to the south and will arrive in Chengdu soon. However, we live in the area, but it has no effect. Once Wang Can captures Chengdu, we will claim credit from Wang Can.
We don’t even have the right to speak. Now it’s the last moment, and we must express ourselves in order to strengthen our weight in Wang Can’s heart and revive the glory of the Yizhou clan.”
Cui He said harshly: "Jia Gong, if we can't do it, let's mutiny and save Zhao Wei and welcome Wang Can into the city."
Jia Long shook his head and said: "You are too naive. Do you really think that Zhao Wei is a fool? Haha, Zhao Wei is too cunning to wait for us to kill him. This person has always been against us and knows everything about us. I'm afraid
As soon as there is any movement from us, Zhao Wei will immediately send troops to encircle and suppress us. We cannot fall out with Zhao Wei unless it is absolutely necessary."
Cui He said impatiently: "In that case, how to open the city gate and welcome Wang Can."
Jia Long frowned slightly and said: "The matter needs to be considered in the long term, and we cannot act rashly."
"It is a good thing to open the city gate to welcome Wang Can, so I have to encourage it, but if we risk the family being wiped out, it is not worth it for us to open the city gate. In our family, country and the world, our first priority is to ensure that our family is not wiped out by Zhao Wei.
Under this premise, open the city gate and help Wang Can enter the city."
"Although I had promised to submit to Wang Can when I entered Hanzhong, it was a form of coercion and should not be acted upon. Compared with the life and death of the family, no matter what it is, I have to put it aside and talk about it later."
Jia Long said it calmly, but it made the two of them sweat.
Both of them were thinking about showing off in front of Wang Can, so they were eager to open the city gate and welcome Wang Can into the city, but they forgot about the safety of their own families. After being awakened by Jia Long, both of them took a deep breath and wiped
Wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Li Yuan's expression changed drastically and he said, "Jia Gong, do you mean that Zhao Wei might attack us?"
Jia Long said: "Everything is unknown, and I don't know either."
Cui He stretched out his middle finger, tapped the desk gently, and said slowly: "Jia Gong, instead of being passively beaten, we should take the initiative. Jia Gong used the excuse of attending a banquet to lure Zhao Wei to Jia Gong's house.
He was unprepared and killed Zhao Wei. Wouldn't this solve Zhao Wei's serious problem? What does Jia Gong think?"
Jia Long stroked his beard and said: "This is a way, but I don't know if Zhao Wei is willing to attend the banquet."
After the words fell, the attendant's voice came from outside the study: "Sir, General Zhao sent soldiers to find you about something."
Jia Long said loudly: "Ask him to wait for a moment, I will come right away." Immediately, Jia Long said to Li Yuan and Cui He: "You guys wait for a while, I will go and come back."
After saying that, Jia Long went to the hall alone to meet the soldiers sent by Zhao Wei.
Not long after, Jia Long returned to the study and said: "Zhao Wei summoned the big families in Chengdu and wanted to recruit soldiers to defend the city. He sent soldiers to invite me and the two of you. Let's go to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion immediately."
Cui He and Li Yuan nodded and followed Jia Long to the Prefecture Mufu.
