After Tian Feng accepted Wang Can's appointment, he stayed for two days, then bid farewell to Wang Can and went to Baocheng County to take up his post. Although Tian Feng didn't want to see Wang Can, under the persuasion of his wife Tian, he still reluctantly visited Wang Can before leaving Hanzhong.

Tian Feng went to work, and his family members also left.

Wang Can did not detain Tian Feng's family, which made Tian Feng have a little more affection for Wang Can.

According to Tian Feng's thoughts, Wang Can would definitely move his family members to Chengdu, or leave his family members in Hanzhong as hostages, but Wang Can let his family members accompany him, which surprised Tian Feng very much.

Such a bold approach is not something that ordinary people dare to do.

No matter what, Tian Fengneng took his family away, and he was very happy in his heart.

In fact, Tian Feng never thought that with his ability, it would be impossible for him to leave Yizhou.

Baocheng is located in the northwest of Nanzheng County, and to the east is the vast area of Hanzhong; To the north is the hinterland of Guanzhong, and there are heavy guards in the Meridian Valley, if you want to go to Guanzhong, you must pass through the Meridian Valley; To the west are the mountains that stretch and are difficult to walk; To the south is Chengdu, the base camp of Yizhou, and it is impossible to leave.

Therefore, as long as Tian Feng goes to Baocheng to take office, he is in Wang Can's hands, and Wang Can is of course relieved.

After Tian Feng left, Wang Can's heart fell to the ground.

At this time, only the armies of Yuan Shu, Lü Bu and Liu Bei outside Shangyong City attacked Yizhou.

Shangyong City is located on the border of Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the north is surrounded by mountains, because Wuguan is controlled by Wang Can, cutting off the connection between the north and the south, so that the news cannot be transmitted for the time being.

Liu Bei, Lü Bu, and Yuan Shu wanted to get the news, and the only way to get the news was from their own jurisdiction.

However, the trio's territory was too far away from the north to be heard directly.

In this way, it was necessary to wait for Cao Cao to lead the troops back, and the news of the withdrawal spread from Yanzhou, so that the officials in the three jurisdictions could get the news, and then pass on the news through the soldiers in their respective jurisdictions. In this way, it will take a long time to get the news, so Yuan Shu and the others do not know the situation in the north yet.

In the hall of the county government, Wang Can summoned the military generals under his command.

Xu Shu, Lu Meng, and Gan Ning sat on the left side of the hall, and Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, and Pang De sat on the right side of the hall.

Pound's family has long since moved to Chengdu and lives in Chengdu.

Although Pang De had some complaints about Wang Can's arrogant approach, he was already a military general under Wang Can, so he could only serve Wang Can. As for Zhang Liao, he was left by Lu Bu to stop Wang Can's army, and he was already loyal to Lu Bu, and now Zhang Liao has surrendered to Wang Can and is a military general under Wang Can.

Wang Can's eyes swept over everyone and said: "There is news from the north, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have withdrawn their troops and returned to their own jurisdictions, the situation in the north is calm, and we can also do our best to solve the army of Yuan Shu and others at one time." ”

When the words fell, Pang De and the others were all excited.

Wang Can wants to re-enter Shangyong City, which means that he has to use swords.

The last time I was in Shangyong City, I was mainly defensive, and the only time I sent troops was to attract Lu Bu and Yuan Shu to enter the army, and I didn't really fight. This time Wang Can wants to defeat the army of Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Liu Bei, which is their chance. Everyone was gearing up, but Zhang Liao was expressionless, and his eyes were a little erratic.

Seeing this, Wang Can understood Zhang Liao's thoughts in his heart.

Just as Pound and Gao Shun submitted to him, neither was willing to fight the forces to which they had been loyal. Although Lu Bu gave up on Zhang Liao and regarded Zhang Liao as an outcast, Zhang Liao was unwilling to face Lu Bu and did not want to face Lu Bu on the battlefield, so he had such an expression.

Wang Can instructed: "Wenyuan, you don't have to participate in this battle, stay in Hanzhong." ”

"No!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately agreed.

He glanced at Wang Can gratefully and smiled happily. Wang Can's ability to think about him made Zhang Liao quite moved in his heart, after all, there was a lord who was sympathetic to his subordinates, and he also chose a suitable master.

Lu Meng hugged his fists and said: "Lord, you promised to let the last general be the vanguard, but you can't help but count!" ”

Wang Can smiled and said, "Okay, you will be the vanguard and lead the vanguard army to Shangyong City." ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lu Meng responded with a fist clenched, a cheerful smile on his face.

Wang Can nodded and said, "The rest of the people, follow me to Shangyong City." ”

"No!"

Xu Shu and the others replied with their fists clenched and agreed.

……

Outside Shangyong City, the armies of Lü Bu, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei merged into one and were stationed in the camp. However, the three forces are not mixed together, and they are clearly separated from each other. In the army, Liu Bei's army was the mainstay, and he brought more than 20,000 soldiers from Runan, plus the army that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu kept gathering, there were about 30,000 people.

An army of 30,000 is quite a formidable force.

Historically, when Liu Bei and Sun Quan allied to resist Cao Cao, the two sides fought in Chibi, and Liu Bei's strength was only more than 20,000 people, and now there are more than 30,000 soldiers just outside Shangyong City, and the strength is not weak.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan Shao sat on the main seat.

Below, Lu Bu and Chen Gong sat on the left side, and Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei sat on the right.

Yuan Shu looked at Liu Bei and said, "Brother Xuande, we have been stationed outside Shangyong City for more than five days, why don't we attack Shangyong City, but continue to stagnate?" ”

According to Yuan Shu's idea, Liu Bei's army should be allowed to storm Shangyong City.

After all, this team is dominated by Liu Bei's army, and even if the army is disabled, it is Liu who has suffered the most.

Liu Bei's heart was as bright as a mirror, and of course he would not let Yuan Shu succeed. The purpose of his trip was not to conquer Shangyong City, but to use Wang Can's sword to kill Lu Bu and subdue Chen Gong. Now that the strength of Shangyong City is not strong, and the defenders of Shangyong City cannot be defended, Liu Bei has no way to borrow a knife to kill people, and it is impossible to promise Yuan Shu to send troops.

If Lu Bu can be killed, Liu Bei will definitely be willing to send troops.

The power of the army was in the hands of Liu Bei, and he said that he would send troops when he sent troops, and Yuan Shu and Lu Bu could only do it in a hurry.

Liu Bei looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "Brother Highway, after our army converged, we also went to fight outside the city, but the defenders of Shangyong City couldn't defend it, and we had no choice." Alas, I finally have Runan, I only have this little soldier under my command, if I storm Shangyong City but can't take it, won't my army die in vain, once the soldiers are consumed, Yuzhou will be chaotic! ”

After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "If you want to take Shangyong City, try to outwit it as much as possible, instead of attacking it!" ”

Liu Bei's words were final.

Lu Bu said: "Xuande, the defenders of Shangyong City can't hold it, and we have no other way. Now there is no other way but to storm the mediocrity. If you want to outwit Shangyong City, you must have a plan to be able to carry it out! ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong and said, "How to lure the enemy army, please Mr. Chen find a way." ”

In a word, the topic was drawn to Chen Gong again.

Chen Gong spread out his hands and said helplessly: "Although the guards of Shangyong City are young, they have won the essence of the art of war. Gong couldn't think of anything for the time being. Chen Gong expressed his thoughts, which made the atmosphere stalemate, there was no way to outwit, and Liu Bei was unwilling to attack, so the meeting could not be discussed at all.

Yuan Shu sighed and looked at Liu Bei again, with a helpless look in his eyes.

Lu Bu stared at Liu Bei, who was sitting precariously, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

PS: The fourth watch is completed, and I have taken a break at the end of work.
