Because there was a reason for the defeat of the army, and the Nanban was not monolithic, King Zhurong did not punish Zhu Rong too much, but just gave up after a verbal reprimand.

Meng Shu sat back in his seat and sat down.

King Zhurong said to everyone: "That Liu Chan Xiao'er is so scheming, he doesn't fight when our army is in its prime, and he wants to let our army's momentum run out before fighting." He's so difficult, I don't know if you have a way to deal with him. ”

Meng Shu arched his hand and said: "King, this time we will lead a large army to the city, as long as the army is kept in order and the retreat is neat and orderly, Liu Chan's carving insect skills are not to worry, he will only use our army to make a fuss." ”

Yonghong knew that Meng Huo admired Shui Luoyi, he also coveted Shui Luoyi, and had the intention to show it, hearing this, Yonghong couldn't help but sneer: "Only King Meng Huo is so jealous of a doll, Liu Chan only has 3,000 soldiers under his hands, tomorrow we will kill Chengdu, just deliberately let the soldiers relax, lure Liu Chan to attack, and then introduce his soldiers and horses into an ambush, as long as these 3,000 soldiers are destroyed, Chengdu is not at your fingertips?" ”

Meng Shu couldn't help but breathe when he heard this, why didn't he think of this way? only knew how to remedy and prevent Liu Chan from attacking, but he didn't think of how to defeat Liu Chan, could it be that he was really afraid of Liu Chan?

King Zhurong laughed when he heard this: "General Yonghong is worthy of being a wise man, he who has read the book is really extraordinary, and he has this clever plan, so that Liu Chan Xiaoer can be arrested." ”

"What does the princess think of my plan?" Yonghong is a powerful man in Yizhou, he has read more books than those barbarian kings, and the strategies he said are also reasonable. After listening to King Zhurong's praise, Yonghong had the intention to show off, and couldn't help but ask Shui Luoyi.

"I hope you can catch that little thief with this strategy!" Shui Luoyi gritted her teeth, and her beautiful eyes were full of resentment.

She still clearly remembered what Meng Shu said before, Liu Chan borrowed her reputation and said that she wanted to marry him and marry her before defeating Meng Shu.

Yonghong laughed when he heard this, patted his chest and promised: "Hahaha, don't worry, princess, I will definitely capture that lewd thief and hand it over to you to deal with." ”

Meng Shu on the side had a heart, but he couldn't say any strategy, remember to scratch his ears and cheeks, full of ugliness.

"You can continue to discuss, I'll go back and rest first." Seeing Meng Huo like this, Shui Luoyi was quite disappointed in his heart, and looked down on Yonghong, an uncle in his thirties, even more disdainfully, so he bowed and left the Chinese army's tent.

The rest of the people discussed it and went back to rest one after another.

Early the next morning, more than 40,000 Yi and Han coalition troops slaughtered towards Chengdu.

Originally, the coalition army had a total of 50,000 people, 30,000 barbarian soldiers, and 20,000 powerful soldiers and horses, but the soldiers and horses of King Gaoding had surrendered to Chengdu because of Liu Chan's divisive plan, and Meng Shu's vanguard army also lost more than 2,000 horses, and the strength of the coalition army at this time was only more than 42,000 people.

Jiangyuan County is not far from Chengdu, and the army marched for a day and arrived in Chengdu at 10 in the evening.

On the site of the original Meng Huo camp, a new camp was established, because Meng Shu suffered several losses, this camp was established in a decent manner, and the defense was strict, and Liu Chan was not given the opportunity to rob the camp.

"Then I will lead the troops to call the battle, deliberately make the formation untidy, and lure the soldiers and horses in the city to attack, and then the king will lead the troops to intercept his way, don't let them run."

In the morning, Yonghong, Zhu Bao, Zhu Rong and others discussed, and Yonghong took the initiative to propose to lure the enemy.

Subsequently, Yonghong and Zhu Bao led 10,000 soldiers and horses to Chengdu to challenge.

The soldiers and horses set up a "formation" under the city, sitting on the ground horizontally, and the soldiers kept shouting and scolding, which was even worse than the soldiers and horses of Meng Shu a few days ago.

In the rear, Zhu Rong, Meng Shu led the troops to look forward to it, and only waited for the Shu soldiers in the city to go to the battle to intercept and kill.

I waited until the sun turned west in the afternoon, but I didn't see any soldiers and horses in the city, and even the generals in the city came out to shout.

When retreating, the ranks were scattered, and the soldiers and horses in the city still did not come out.

Obviously, Liu Chan will not be fooled.

When Yonghong returned to the camp, he asked Meng Huo: "Didn't you say that Liu Chan would pick flaws to attack, and now that I have revealed flaws, why doesn't he fight?" How the hell did you lose, let's tell the truth. ”

Meng Huo glanced at Shui Luoyi, and then snorted coldly, there was no lack of smugness in his eyes, and said to Yonghong: "Hmph, I have long said that Liu Chan is scheming and difficult to deal with, but you said that he is just a doll and easy to deal with." Your own clumsy plan was seen through by him, and it didn't work, and you are embarrassed to suspect that I lied about the military situation? ”

Yonghong was furious when he heard this: "Whose plan do you say is clumsy? ”

Meng Huo stared at Yonghong with a pair of bronze bell eyes, and scolded: "Your strategy is clumsy, your strategy is clumsy!" ”

Yonghong refused to weaken his momentum at all, pointed at Meng Shu and scolded: "You have lost in the hands of a doll twice, and you are embarrassed to say that I have a clumsy strategy?" ”

"Alright, you two don't fight!" King Zhurong only felt that his head was as big as a fight when he heard the two arguing, so he stepped forward to separate the two and said: "We were ordered by the Duke of Wei to send troops to Chengdu, and now we have killed Chengdu, but we must take Chengdu as soon as possible, otherwise Liu Bei will come back and attack us, and we will die without a place to be buried." At this time, we should work together! ”

Yonghong flicked his sleeves and said, "Hmph, for the sake of King Zhurong's face, I won't be like you." ”

"I'm still afraid that you won't make it?" Meng Huo glared at Yonghong and shouted.

"Alright!" King Zhurong pulled Meng Shu and shouted: "Duke Wei agreed with us to let us raise troops to capture Chengdu and force Liu Bei's whole army to return to help, and then he led his troops south to attack Liu Bei and seize the land of Yizhou in one fell swoop."

But now we can't put the slightest pressure on Chengdu, even if Liu Bei gets the news, he will not send the whole army back to help, but will only send 20,000 or 30,000 people back. In this way, the agreement with the Duke of Wei will not be completed, and when Liu Bei captures Hanzhong and returns to Yizhou, we will definitely suffer a catastrophe.

I didn't agree to send troops, but you were tempted by those gifts and promises from the Duke of Wei, and they all persuaded me to send troops, but now I have sent troops, but you don't make any efforts, you only know about internal strife, don't you want to kill me? ”

When the barbarian generals heard this, a trace of shame flashed on their faces.

Meng Huo patted his chest and said: "King, you relax, tomorrow I will personally lead the troops to attack the city, and I will definitely take Chengdu for the king!" ”

Yonghong also listened to King Zhurong's words, and even his sense of crisis was even greater, because Zhurong was a barbarian king, and he was a powerful man in Yizhou County, who would Liu Bei deal with when he came back? I must have dealt with them first.

Yonghong muttered: "I'm afraid the challenge is useless, in my opinion, we can only lead the troops to attack, we have more than 40,000 people, one door put 10,000 people, they can only fight 3,000 soldiers, the rest are old and weak, such an attack, presumably they will not be able to hold on for a long time." ”

"Assault ......" King Zhurong's face changed, the soldiers under his command are all barbarians, and they are not good at attacking cities at all.

Zhu Bao also persuaded him: "King Zhurong, now that we have sent troops, since the thief is cunning and refuses to come out, we have only one way to attack." ”

King Zhurong sighed and said, "It's okay to storm strongly, but you have to build siege equipment first!" ”

Yonghong smiled when he heard this: "You can rest assured about this, before I came, Duke Wei sent someone to give me the blueprints of the siege equipment, and I had people build it when I was in Yizhou County, and I only need to assemble it from scratch, and it can be completed within two days." ”

"That's good! That's good! King Zhurong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if there were enough siege equipment, then the losses could be reduced a lot.

However, Shui Luoyi, who was beside King Zhurong, was dull and silent, obviously a little unhappy.

Seeing this, King Zhurong asked, "Daughter, why are you depressed?" ”

Shui Luoyi's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he pulled King Zhurong's arm and said: "The city of Chengdu is tall and strong, if it is attacked, the clansmen will definitely suffer heavy losses, and my daughter can't bear it...... Why don't you let your daughter fight! ”

Zhu Rong kept shaking his head, like a rattle, and refused: "If it doesn't work, how can I let you fight, wouldn't it be a joke for the Shu soldiers to see us." ”

Shui Luoyi said: "Father, although the daughter's martial arts are not high, but few people can hide from the flying knife, that E Huankong has brute strength, and he can't hide it, if the daughter can kill her, then this Chengdu is better to overcome?" ”

Meng Shu on the side couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "King, even I can't dodge the princess's flying knife stunt, and if I change to Ehuan, I will definitely have to be hit, so it's better to let the princess fight!" ”

After listening to Meng Huo's words, King Zhurong pointed at Meng Huo, his hands kept trembling, and scolded: "You can't beat E Huan as an eight-foot man, how can you bear to let my daughter go to fight E Huan, you don't feel ashamed!" ”

The surrounding barbarian generals also looked at Meng Shu with disdain.

We want the princess to fight, but you don't have to say it, do you?

Meng Shu just bowed his head and said nothing, but he didn't feel ashamed, otherwise Zhuge Liang wouldn't have to capture and surrender him. The reason why he didn't speak, but he didn't dare to offend King Zhurong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get Shui Luoyi even more.

Shui Luoyi shook King Zhurong's arm and said: "Father, you just let me fight, I promise to only use flying knives, and I will never fight in close combat, now you can rest assured." ”

King Zhurong was helpless, so he had to agree to Shui Luoyi's request: "Okay, okay, I'll let you fight tomorrow, but you must not be in close contact with people, you can only use the flying knife stunt, if you can't shoot, you will come back immediately." ”

Shui Luoyi touched the flying knife on her waist, her pretty face was full of confidence, and said, "Father, don't worry, my daughter will definitely make E Huan and that little lewd thief look good tomorrow!" ”
