The Sword Pavilion was still blocked by the Guanzhong Army, and no one was allowed to leave the city without a warrant issued by the army.

Compared with the destruction of the north gate wall, the south gate city wall has not experienced the slightest war, and it is still majestic.

Behind the battlements, a man with a strong body stood there, quietly looking into the distance.

The traces of time have been deeply impressed on this person's face, his hair has also turned a little gray, and there is a sadness on his face that cannot be concealed.

This majestic man is none other than Yan Yan, a famous general of Bashu.

After Yan Yan was defeated and captured, Xu Huang not only did not behead him, but treated him very well.

Later, Chen Xu led his troops into Yizhou, and repeatedly went to persuade Yan Yan, but he refused to surrender.

Chen Xu felt his loyalty, and did not anger Yan Yan because of this, but gave him great freedom.

The current Yan Yan, in addition to not being able to leave the Sword Pavilion, can move around the city at will, even if he goes to the Guanzhong military camp, he can travel unhindered.

But this kind of favor did not make Yan Yan feel proud.

The more he figured out the situation of the Guanzhong Army, the heavier Yan Yan's heart became, and the more optimistic he became about the future of Yizhou.

Especially after Jia Mengguan and Sword Pavilion were lost successively, and Zhang Ren and Deng Xian were also defeated and captured, Yan Yan became extremely desperate.

To this day, although the Yizhou army has been victorious, it has lost troops on the whole.

Those Bashu generals who led their troops to resist the Guanzhong army were either killed on the battlefield, defeated and captured, or surrendered to the city.

In today's Yizhou, is there still a general who can take it? Do the soldiers still have the confidence to fight against the Guanzhong Army?

The answer is no.

Yan Yan's mood became extremely low, and the wrinkles that had already arisen due to age became deeper.

The autumn wind lifted Yan Yan's robe, and his beard danced with the wind, making Yan Yan have a sense of elegance.

Stretching out his right hand, Yan Yan clamped a wisp of beard between his index and middle fingers, and seeing that it was already mixed with a little silver, Yan Yan suddenly felt quite bitter in his heart.

Since ancient times, famous generals have been like beauties, and they do not let the world see gray hair.

No matter how beautiful the childlike face is, there are moments full of wrinkles.

No matter how military generals are, they can't resist the erosion of the years, and the battlefield will no longer suit them one day.

Yan Yan is far younger now than when he appeared in history, but the defeat in Bajun made him physically and mentally exhausted.

If the heart grows old, it is easy for people to grow old.

Even though more than two months have passed, Yan Yan feels as if he is ten years older.

"In my lifetime, can I still fight on the battlefield for the Lord?"

remembered that he had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he had thrown away the entire county; Thinking that Jia Meng Pass and Sword Pavilion had been conquered one after another, Yan Yan suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart.

"Lord, it's not good for me to defend the city, I'm sorry for you!"

The more Yan Yan thought about it, the more guilty he felt, tears faintly filled his eyes, and he held his left hand on the battlement, feeling that his whole body had no strength.

Not far away, the banner of the word 'Chen' fluttered in the wind, declaring the belonging of this city.

……

Guanghan County, Luo County, County Shoufu.

Zhang Su looked at the letter in his hand, his face pale.

At this time, five days had passed since the Sword Pavilion City was broken, but Zhang Su didn't know the detailed battle report of the City Break.

However, this letter, signed by Zhang Song, made him feel panicked.

Zhang Song said unabashedly in the letter that it was he who dedicated the Sword Pavilion to the Guanzhong Army, and Wu Yi had surrendered.

If it weren't for the general Gu Nian Zhang Su being his brother, he would have raised troops to capture the entire Guanghan County.

Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion are both under the jurisdiction of Guanghan County, but these two dangerous passes have been broken one after another, and the Yizhou Army in Guanghan County has been completely damaged.

If Chen Xu continued to lead his troops south, Zhang Su would have no way to stop the advance of the Guanzhong army.

"How so, how so?"

Zhang Su was not afraid that the Guanzhong army would move south at this time, and the entire Guanghan might be lost.

For him, in the face of the Guanzhong army, which had no way to resist, it was a big deal to withdraw to Shu County with his family and henchmen.

Zhang Su was worried about whether Liu Zhang would be angry with Zhang Song because of his surrender.

Compared with his younger brother's boldness and talent, Zhang Su is much inferior, except for being as rich as jade, he is basically useless.

Zhang Su clutched the letter tightly, and walked back and forth anxiously in the county guard's mansion, his face cloudy.

"The Sword Pavilion has been broken, Ziqiao's dedication to the city is a foregone conclusion, and the general is even more pointed out by the soldiers, looking at it vertically and horizontally."

"Instead of continuing to stay under Liu Jiyu and being implicated because of Ziqiao's dedication to the city, it is better to give up the entire Guanghan County to the general as soon as possible."

"In this way, with the merit of dedicating the city, and Ziqiao is now highly valued by the general, I may not be able to continue to serve as the Taishou of Guanghan County."

As Zhang Song guessed, after learning that his younger brother had surrendered the city, Zhang Su was really panicked, and was ready to surrender for fear of being implicated.

What's more, now that the door to Shu is wide open, it is difficult for Liu Zhang to hold Yizhou anymore.

Those who know the times are Junjie, although Zhang Su has no talent, he can also see the situation clearly.

With a plan in his heart, Zhang Su hurriedly summoned his confidants and ordered him to rush to the Sword Pavilion with the letter and the starry night, so as to express his sincerity to Chen Xu.

……

Shu County, Chengdu, Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

Liu Zhang looked at the battle report in his hand, and the look of horror on his face couldn't hide it no matter what.

"Quickly convene the civil and military to come to the meeting!"

Even though Chen Xu kept sending people to block the news, Liu Zhang still got the detailed battle report after all, and his heart was angry and panicked.

The soldiers found that the lord, who had always been very gentle, actually showed this expression at this time, and they were all in their hearts, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly went to summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Yizhou.

It didn't take long for Yizhou civil and military forces to gather together.

Just when everyone was talking, Liu Zhang, who was angry, turned out of the back hall and threw the letter in his hand to the ground.

He scolded: "I value Wu Yi so much and reuse Zhang Song, but these two conspired to dedicate the Sword Pavilion to Chen Xu, it's really a punishment!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they suddenly heard this exciting news, Huang Quan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the letter, and after reading it, his face changed greatly.

Huang Quan's hands trembled a little, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Sword Pavilion, it has actually been conquered!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this, and there was a lot of discussion in the state pastoral mansion for a while.

In Yizhou Wenwu's view, the previous Jiameng Pass was broken by Xu Huang, which was just a mistake.

It's just weird, the guards will be too incompetent.

The Sword Pavilion was captured, but it was beyond everyone's expectations.

The danger of the Sword Pavilion is not under the Jiameng Pass, and there are several generals leading heavy troops to garrison, in the eyes of everyone, it is absolutely impossible for the Guanzhong Army to capture this city.

But they turned out to be wrong.

Everyone felt boundless fear, Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion were lost one after another, and there was no such precipitous level in Yizhou to stop the Guanzhong army.

Then the future of the entire Yizhou is self-evident.

At this time, the minds of many civil officials were lively, and some familiar people were secretly exchanging glances.

After Huang Quan was frightened, he hurriedly said: "Wu Yi surrenders to Chen Wenzhao, and the lord can arrest all his family members and behead them to show the public as an example." ”

"Brother Zhang Song is serving as the Taishou of Guanghan County, and his brother surrendered to Chen Wenzhao, and it is difficult to guarantee that this person is not in the same party."

"I also hope that the lord will send his henchmen as soon as possible, reappoint the Taishou of Guanghan County, capture Zhang Su again, and send a large army to Guanghan County to resist the Guanzhong army."

Although Liu Zhang has a gentle personality, he also hates those who betray him.

When he heard Huang Quan's words, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered the armor to go to the Wu Mansion and arrest all the relatives of Wu Yi.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to return with a gloomy face, and said to Liu Zhang: "The Wu family left Chengdu a few days ago in the name of returning to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and now they have long since disappeared. ”

Liu Zhang was furious, picked up the document on the desk, and smashed it to the ground.

He stiffened his neck and scolded: "I originally thought that there might be something hidden here, but now it seems that Wu Yi has long had the heart of surrendering." ”

"I still value Wu Yi so much, and give the Wu family the supreme honor, I am really blind, blind!"

Liu Zhang's face turned purple with anger, and his whole body couldn't help trembling, and he coughed violently because he was too anxious.

"Ahem, ahem!"

coughed for a long time, and Liu Zhang, under the comfort of everyone, dissipated his anger a little.

Liu Zhang sighed dejectedly, remembering Zhang Song's betrayal, and felt extremely depressed in his heart.

A fierce look flashed on his face at first, and then he said with some concern: "Zhang Su is still serving as the Taishou of Guanghan County at this time, if he does something to him, will Zhang Su give up the entire Guanghan County to the Guanzhong Army?" ”

The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention Zhang Su, the Taishou of Guanghan County?

Huang Quan said: "It is precisely because I am worried that Zhang Su will surrender the city that I propose to re-appoint someone to serve as the Taishou of Guanghan County." ”

Huang Quan was about to continue speaking, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside: "Lord, the Guanzhong army has captured Guanghan County and is rushing to Shu County!" ”

Liu Zhang was shocked and said, "Not long after the Guanzhong Army captured the Sword Pavilion, how could it be possible to capture the entire Guanghan County so quickly? ”

Huang Quan also hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Zhang Su surrendered the city?" ”

The messenger nodded emphatically and said, "Zhang Su surrendered, and the Guanzhong Army got the entire Guanghan County without much effort!" ”

Liu Zhang's face was like ashes when he heard this, and his body actually fell to the ground softly, and he muttered: "Big things go, big things go!" ”

Not only Liu Zhang himself, but also the rest of Yizhou's civil and military affairs were also fluctuating at this time.

Someone even stepped forward and said: "The general is the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet, and his strength is unrivaled in the world." ”

"Now Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion have been lost, Guanghan County is also occupied by the Guanzhong Army, the eastern gate of Shu County is wide open, if the general sends troops from Luo County, he will be able to come to the city in a few days."

"Since the lord is a member of the Han family, why should he be an enemy of the imperial army? If the city surrenders at this time, the general will definitely treat the lord well. ”

When Xu Huang captured Ba County before, someone persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender.

But at that time, Liu Zhang relied on the natural dangers of Jiameng Pass and Sword Pavilion, supplemented by Guanghan County as a barrier, so he had the confidence to be the enemy of Chen Xu.

However, at this time, Liu Zhang had lost all confidence, and when he heard his subordinates persuade him to surrender, he was not angry, but a little moved.

In this era, although many scribes were very virtuous, there were also many who only put the interests of the family first, and not every prince would swear to die.

Just imagine, in history, Cao Cao led his army south, and Jiangdong did not fight with him, so many people persuaded Sun Quan to surrender.

Even a male lord like Sun Quan was intimidated by Cao Cao's might at that time, and he also had the intention of surrendering.

If it weren't for Lu Suxiao's interests, maybe Sun Quan would have dedicated Eastern Wu to Cao Cao at that time.

Sun Quan and Jiangdong Wenwu are still like this, let alone the current Liu Zhang?

Some people were still a little hesitant, but when they saw that Liu Zhang was actually a little moved, they also stepped forward to admonish.

If Liu Zhang can be persuaded to surrender at this time, these people will be treated differently by Chen Xu.

Of course, this is just their wishful thinking, Chen Xu will not reuse this kind of traitor for glory in any case.

Like Zhang Song and Fa Zheng, they must be treated separately.

Not only because the two are talented, but more importantly, they have never been loyal to Liu Zhang, and naturally they can't talk about betrayal.

Seeing everyone's faces like this, Huang Quan's face immediately turned red with anger, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord, you must not surrender!" ”

Liu Zhang saw that until this time, Huang Quan was still unwilling to surrender, and his heart was somewhat moved.

Although he felt that surrender was nothing, he felt extremely bitter when he was persuaded to surrender by his own subordinates.

"It's called seeing the truth in adversity."

Liu Zhang suddenly had a realization in his heart, but he said with a wry smile: "The Guanzhong army is huge, and Ba County and Guanghan County have been lost one after another, if you don't surrender, what can you do?" ”

Huang Quan said excitedly: "Although Ba County and Guanghan County have been lost, there are still nine counties under the command of the lord, and the city occupied by the Guanzhong army is less than one-third of Yizhou. ”

"Now that the princes have raised troops to attack Chen, the land of Guanzhong is in danger, as long as the lord leads the people to clear the wall and defend the city, and the Guanzhong army will definitely retreat after some time!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhang hesitated again.

As Huang Quan said, although Ba County and Guanghan County were lost, Liu Zhang still owned the land of Nine Counties.

Although there are many alien races living in Shu County in the south of Yizhou, Liu Zhang has always been friendly with these alien races, and he may not be able to rely on the strength of these people.

Most importantly, Liu Zhang did not believe that Guanzhong would be safe and sound under the attack of the princes.

As long as he can continue to delay time, Chen Xu will definitely lead his troops to retreat.

But thinking that Guanghan County was lost, and the Guanzhong army would soon kill Chengdu, Liu Zhang felt a little afraid in his heart.

After all, Chengdu is almost next to Guanghan County, and it is only a few days away from Luo County, Liu Zhang does not have the courage to face the wolf-like Guanzhong army in person.

Now there are two choices in front of Liu Zhang.

If he surrenders, according to Chen Xu's character, he will definitely not harm his life, at least he can get the same kind of treatment as Zhang Lu.

According to the city, although it is possible to force the Guanzhong army to retreat, the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe.

For a moment, Liu Zhang hesitated.

(Today, it's a chapter of 4,000 words, and I ran outside the hotel to rub the net at night, in case I was robbed by a beautiful woman, I wanted to cry without tears.) I don't know when telecommunications will be able to pull the wire. ）
