Xu Huang led the army to rest in Dianjiang City for three days, and then led the army along the Han River to kill Benjiangzhou.

At this time, Xu Huang only had 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the other 10,000 soldiers and horses were scattered and stationed in the county town along the way.

Since Xu Huang can leave a famous name in history, he is by no means a wasted person, especially after he almost died in Baibo Valley, Xu Huang is even more energetic and familiar with military books and war strategies.

What level Xu Huang has reached now, I'm afraid even he doesn't know.

led the army to drive straight in, Xu Huang had already considered the possible dangers, so he successively divided 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the county towns along the way, so as not to be cut off.

However, he said that Xu Huang had just arrived in Jiangzhou, and he had a detailed report: "Bajun is too strict and Yan is a famous general in Shu, although he is old and energetic, he is good at opening a hard bow, making a big knife, and has the courage of ten thousand people; It occupies the city, intending to resist the heavenly soldiers, and does not erect a flag. ”

Xu Huang told the army to leave the city twenty miles away and go down to the village, and sent people into the city to persuade Yan Yan to open the city and surrender.

But he said that Qin Mi said that he moved Meng Da, and Meng Da didn't want to really die here, so he thought about it for a long time, and finally he was ready to cooperate with Yan Yan.

After all, what Meng Da did was only known to those Dongzhou people, as long as Yan Yan killed all these people and then concealed Meng Da's intention to rebel, Liu Zhang would not know the details.

Since he was determined to break Xu Huang's meritorious service, Meng Da offered a plan and said: "Xu Huang is a famous general in Guanzhong, both civil and military, and it is not easy to make a plan." I haven't been in contact with him for so long since I entered the city, and if I rush out of the city now, I'm afraid Xu Huang will be suspicious. ”

"Although Xu Huang is brave, although the soldiers in Guan are elite, they are tired from afar. The general should only go deep and high in the ditch today, and he can't hold out; The army had no food, but in January, it was natural to want to retreat. ”

At that time, Xu Huang must have been irritable in his heart, eager to be able to break through Jiangzhou. If I sneak out of the city again and make an appointment with him, Xu Huang will definitely be overjoyed. ”

"In this way, the general's capture of Xu Huang is just around the corner."

Although Yan Yan and Qin Mi disdained Meng Da as a person, they agreed with his words, so they followed Meng Da's advice and taught all the soldiers to go to the city to guard.

But it was said that Yan Yan was urging the soldiers to strengthen the city defenses, and suddenly saw a sergeant in the city, and shouted: "Open the door!" ”

Yan Yan saw that there was only one person, so he put it into the city and asked: "Guanru Yijia, like a sergeant of Guan, now we are enemies, you come to Jiangzhou, what is the matter?" ”

The sergeant said: "I am the junior colonel under General Xu, and today I am specially ordered by the commander to persuade General Yan to open the city and surrender." ”

Yan Yan was furious when he heard this, and shouted: "The thief will invade my city for no reason and kill my people, I hate that I can't eat its flesh raw, how can I open the city and surrender?" ”

The sergeant looked at the angry Yan Yan, but he was not afraid at all, and said with his head held high: "The general is gracious in all directions, and he is powerful in the world, and he is the son of heaven to please him." ”

"Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang disobeyed the king's orders and detained the court's offerings, intending to plot against him. In addition, he is not a master, he has a cowardly temperament, and he is talented and cannot be used. ”

"Since the general is a reasonable person, how can he not see the situation clearly, and defend the city for such a mediocre lord?"

"Today, General Xu Huang is coming with a large army, and the destruction of the city is just around the corner, even if the general doesn't think about himself, he has to think about the lives of the people in the city."

Speaking of this, the sergeant sneered twice and said: "If the general does not know what to do and insists on resisting the heavenly soldiers, on the day the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left, and the general will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Yan Yan was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "How dare you be rude! Shall I be a thief? Borrow your mouth to talk to Xu Huang, if you want Jiangzhou City, take it yourself! ”

Yan Yan then called the warrior to cut off the ear and nose of the sergeant Guan, but put him back in the village.

The sergeant returned to see Xu Huang and cried about Yan Yan's evil deeds.

Xu Huang was furious, gritted his teeth and opened his eyes, first comforted the sergeant, and then put on his horse and led the army to fight under the city of Jiangzhou.

After coming to the city of Jiangzhou, Xu Huangyao pointed to the strict face of the city, and shouted: "Old horseman, I sent people into the city to persuade each other, but you humiliated the messenger so much, it is really hateful. ”

"If the old horseman binds his arms and opens the gates of the city to surrender today, he will still spare the lives of the people of the city; If you don't submit to it, you will step on the city, and the old and young will not be left! ”

Yan Yan scolded back: "Thief Chen bullied the Son of Heaven, killed the minister in vain, and violated my city for no reason, but he didn't know how to be ashamed, but he made a lot of nonsense here. ”

"There are many talents in Shu, and loyal ministers and dead people abound. Don't say that you are just a nameless person, even if the thief Chen is in person, I will also behead him, and then lead the troops into the pass, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and help Sheji! ”

Xu Huang was furious when he heard this, and led his soldiers to kill under the drawbridge several times, trying to cross the moat, but was shot back by random arrows.

Guan Zhongbing shouted and scolded outside for a long time, until the evening, but there was no one in the city to fight, Xu Huang had no choice but to endure a belly and return to the village.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Huang led the army to fight again. Because he was too close, Yan Yan shot Xu Huang's helmet with an arrow on the enemy tower of the city.

Fortunately, the helmet was strong, Xu Huang was not injured, Rao was so, he also said angrily: "If you take this old horseman, I will personally cut you with a thousand knives!" ”

On the third day, Xu Huang led the army to shout and curse along the city. Coming to a barren mountain, Xu Huang personally rode a horse to climb the mountain and looked down to see the situation in Jiangzhou City.

I saw that all the soldiers in the city were neatly clothed, and they were lying in the middle of the city in a column, but they did not come out; I also saw the people coming and going, moving bricks and stones, and helping each other defend the city.

Seeing this, Xu Huang sighed, and said to Liu Pi and Gong Du beside him: "Yan Yan is known as a famous general in Bashu, and he is really not a person who has lost his name." ”

At this time, Xu Huang's eyes were full of appreciation, where was there anger? In fact, even the anger of the past few days, Xu Huang is just pretending.

Xu Huang's temperament was originally very generous and steady, and it was impossible for him to mess up his mind because of Yan Yan's words. What he did was just to paralyze Yan Yan and make him think that he was nothing more than that.

When Liu Pi heard this, he said: "The general might as well ask the cavalry to dismount, and the infantry will all sit on the ground." Yan Yan saw that our army was lax, and he would definitely go out of the city to attack. ”

Xu Huang felt that he could give it a try, so he acted according to the plan.

The adjutant general in the city saw the situation of the Guanzhong army, and hurriedly admonished: "Xu Huang must have thought that I would not dare to go out of the city, so I am so lax." If the general suddenly kills out of the city at this time, he will definitely be able to break through the Chinese army. ”

Yan Yan stared at it for a long time, and then he sneered and said, "Xu Huang wants to use such tricks to lure me out of the city, how ridiculous!" Passed on our military order, the three armies held the city tightly and did not move recklessly. ”

Someone heard that the movement in the city was reported to Xu Huang, and Xu Huang sighed again: "Such a good general, why don't you vote for it!" ”

After speaking, Xu Huang led the army to retreat, and summoned Yan Pu to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.
