In Zitong City, there are charred corpses everywhere, and many houses are even smoking. Tian Feng walked through the almost burned city, his face showing a complicated color.

"Strategist, there's still a living person here!"

A sergeant opened a female corpse, and miraculously saw that there was a little boy who had not yet been burned to death.

It's just that the little boy has been burned in many places, and he looked at Tian Feng and the others with a mixture of fear and hatred.

"Poof!"

Gan Ning suddenly pulled out the sword in his waist and stabbed the little boy to death on the spot.

Seeing this, Tian Feng's face changed, he pointed at Gan Ning with his right hand, and said angrily: "Why kill people for no reason!" ”

Although these tragedies were caused by Tian Feng, he was also forced to make this decision, in fact, Tian Feng's heart is now full of remorse.

Today, the two fires killed nearly 30,000 Yizhou soldiers, and the number of people burned to death was even far more than that of Yizhou soldiers.

Especially seeing many charred young corpses, Tian Feng felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

Gan Ning calmly pulled out his sword, blood slowly flowing down from the sword, and said, "What I see in this little boy's eyes is only hatred. ”

"This kind of hatred cannot be resolved at all, and those who hate us are the enemies, and the enemies should be all destroyed."

Tian Feng was so angry that his body trembled, and he roared angrily: "But he's just a child, can you do it?" ”

Gan Ning said indifferently: "I killed just a child, but the fire of the military advisor burned countless old and weak women and children. ”

Tian Feng was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened, but he couldn't say a word.

Gan Ning continued: "There is no need to search for survivors, even if the military advisor wastes time to rescue these people, there is no way to get their gratitude, there is only fear and hatred. ”

"The Yizhou army will arrive in Zitong in a few days, and if we don't take advantage of the big victory to withdraw our troops now, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Tian Feng took a deep breath, looked at the ruins of the city from afar, and thought with regret in his heart: "How is my move different from slaughtering the city?" ”

The strong wind blew the hem of Tian Feng's clothes, and he stood silent for a long time.

In fact, from the loss of Zitong, to the burning of the canyon, to the burning of the city, all of this was planned by Tian Feng a long time ago.

At the beginning, Yang Huai and Gao Pei's insult to Jiang Wu's corpse made Tian Feng really angry, and the situation of the Guanzhong army in Zitong City was not good, so Tian Feng took the risk.

I have to say that Tian Feng, who has always been calm and upright, set up such a thrilling and vicious strategy, but it was too difficult for him.

Tian Feng was not sure at that time whether Zhang Ren had really led the troops to the Sword Pavilion, but he was very sure that Yang Huai and Gao Pei, who had already robbed the camp once, would never make the same mistake again.

The reason why Gan Ning led 500 people to rob the camp was that Tian Feng deliberately wanted the Yizhou army to win, and then lose Zitong by taking advantage of the situation.

This was just to convince the Yizhou army that the Guanzhong army had indeed fled in a hurry because they couldn't hold the city.

Tian Feng endured the pain and ordered to burn the mountains of grain and grass in the city, this kind of crazy action, even Zhang Ren couldn't notice the slightest abnormality.

After all, the Guanzhong Army, which has no food and grass, no matter how brave and good it is, is completely like a dying tiger.

This is also why, Zhang Ren will go to the Sword Pavilion boldly with confidence, and hand over the important task of capturing Tian Feng and Gan Ning to Yang Huai and Gao Pei.

Zhang Ren couldn't have imagined that Tian Feng would be so bold, so desperate, and desperate.

What he didn't know, in fact, before Tian Feng retreated, he had quietly prepared a batch of grain and grass to supply the army, but these grains and grasses could not last long.

Subsequently, a few days after the Guanzhong army hid in the canyon, Tian Feng deliberately sent people into the city, pretending to join forces to capture Zitong.

In fact, those Guan sergeants who infiltrated the city were treated as victims by Tian Feng, allowing them to deliberately expose the location of the canyon.

The reason why Tian Feng sacrificed these people was also to convince Yang Huai and Gao Pei that the Guanzhong Army had indeed reached the point of exhaustion.

Only in this way will they leave Zitong and come to attack the Guanzhong army in that canyon.

If the Yizhou army scouts were deliberately allowed to reconnoiter that canyon, with the talents of Yang Huai and Gao Pei, they might be a little suspicious.

Moreover, if the two of them could not get the detailed information of the Guanzhong Army, they would definitely not dare to lead the troops to kill them easily after hearing about the steep terrain there.

If Yang Huai and Gao Pei did not go out of the city, it would be impossible for Tian Feng to use a strategy to break the Yizhou army.

Therefore, someone must be sacrificed, and Yang Huai and Gao Pei must think that they have seen through the plan of the Guanzhong army, so that they will be full of confidence and lead the troops to the canyon.

In addition, Tian Feng also secretly left many Guanzhong troops and asked them to pretend to be ordinary people to stay in the city to prepare for today's fire attack.

These people are all carefully selected and shrewd people, and the Yizhou army has not occupied Zitong for a long time, and it is impossible to find out these meticulous works.

Although the Guanzhong army set fire in the city, they were either killed by the angry Yizhou army or burned to death, and many of them disappeared forever.

Just like in the canyon today, almost none of the soldiers who set fire to the Guan soldiers survived.

There will always be sacrifices in war, and it is absolutely impossible to try to win easily.

Although this battle seems to be a great victory for the Guanzhong army, only Tian Feng and Gan Ning know how much it has been paid.

It can be said that Tian Feng's plan to deceive, burn grain and abandon the city is completely ruined, and he will be born after death.

If the follow-up battle in Guanghan County was different from the result Tian Feng expected, I am afraid that this 3,000-strong Guanzhong army would also be buried here.

Even Tian Feng and Gan Ning will become prisoners of the ranks, or die on the battlefield.

Therefore, after Gan Ning heard Tian Feng's plan, he began to strongly oppose it.

In any case, Tian Feng still said that Gan Ning was moved, and he took this dangerous move that would be doomed if he was not careful.

No matter how thrilling the process was, the Guanzhong army still won the final victory after all, and Tian Feng and Gan Ning were also famous in the land of Bashu after this incident.

The wind blew up countless black ashes, wafting back and forth in the sky, like black clouds before a storm, making people feel a strange oppression.

In particular, there may be many people's ashes mixed in with this dust, which adds a bit of gloom.

Looking at the charred female corpse with a little apology, as well as the little boy who was dead and blind, Tian Feng finally took a deep breath and said, "Then retreat!" ”

Zitong has been burned to the ground, and the grain and grass that were originally piled up in it were also burned clean by Tian Feng.

Even if the Guanzhong army occupied Zitong again, they would not be able to hold this city without sufficient food and grass.

This attack on Guanghan County, although the goal of capturing the Sword Pavilion was not achieved, Tian Feng and Gan Ning also broke the Yizhou army twice, and killed the famous Bashu generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei.

Not only that, but they also burned the mountains of grain and grass in Zitong City.

With an absolutely inferior force, he successively defeated the 70,000 Yizhou army, which is simply brilliant to the extreme, which is enough to go down in history.

The voice of the Guanzhong Army is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the land of Bashu this time.

After breaking through Zitong, the Guanzhong army was extremely lucky to capture a little grain and grass, although it was not much, but if thousands of soldiers were frugal, they could also support themselves to return to Ba County.

"General, the Yizhou army is very curious about our warships, but not a single one was damaged. This time the city is broken, and the warship is back to our army! ”

A naval army general looked at Gan Ning walking towards him, and immediately couldn't help but say excitedly.

In this era, every general of the navy will not dislike this new type of warship. When the Guanzhong army abandoned the city and fled, many naval generals were extremely reluctant to warships.

Now that the ship has been found, it is no wonder that they are very happy.

Gan Ning didn't speak, but when he looked at the eyes of those warships, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

The autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and the weather is gradually getting colder, but in the Chengdu Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, there has been a lot of noise.

After the news of Xu Huang's two Keba County and Zhao Yunbing's arrival in the Sword Pavilion came, some people in the martial arts under Liu Zhang's command were fluctuating.

Because he was afraid of the loss of the Sword Pavilion, Liu Zhang sent a messenger and ordered Zhang Ren to take care of Zitong and directly lead the troops to help the Sword Pavilion.

It's just that what Yizhou Wenwu didn't expect was that Zhang Ren would actually set up a plan to recapture Zitong before leaving.

After Liu Zhang got the news at that time, he praised Zhang Ren a lot, not to mention how happy he was.

But he hadn't been excited for long, and the news that Yang Huai and Gao Pei had been killed in battle, that the 40,000 army had suffered heavy casualties, and that the city of Zitong had been broken had reached Chengdu again.

This time, Liu Zhang's heart was really scared.

Many timid and fearful officials in Yizhou even secretly admonished Liu Zhang, claiming that Chen Wenzhao looked at the world and the Guanzhong army was unstoppable, suggesting that Liu Zhang would surrender the city.

Liu Zhang's heart was also up and down, and when many people said this, he was immediately a little overwhelmed.

Within a few days, Liu Zhang was not thinking about tea and dinner, and was obviously much haggard, and finally he summoned his subordinates to discuss the strategy of dealing with the Guanzhong army.

Another Dongzhou official said: "Chen Wenzhao's army has not arrived, but only two generals have been dispatched, and Yizhou has been turned upside down. ”

"The two sides only fought for two months, and the army under the command of the lord suffered tens of thousands of casualties, General Yan Yan was captured and his life and death are unknown, and Liu Xuan, Leng Bao, Yang Huai, Gao Pei, these famous Bashu generals, all died in battle."

"Now that the heart is cold and the soldiers are afraid, how can we hold Yizhou?"

"Besides, the general is the Son of Heaven to conquer the Quartet and occupy the righteous position, and the lord is a relative of the Han family, how can he resist the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court?"

"If the lord raises the city and surrenders at this time, it is expected that the general will treat the lord well. If you insist on resisting the imperial army, the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned! ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, Zhao Lei, who was engaged in Yizhou, was immediately furious, threw the bamboo slip in his hand and smashed it on the man's face, with an angry face.

The official who was hit pointed at Zhao Lei and scolded: "The lord is here, how can you be presumptuous!" ”

Zhao Lei shouted: "The Lu of the Eater does not share the worries of the Lord, but persuades the Lord to surrender the city, and your heart should be punished!" Be punished! ”

Then, he came to Liu Zhang and shouted: "Although Chen Xu steals the position of general, he is actually a traitor of the country, and his wolf ambition is known to the world. If the lord surrenders to Chen Xu, how can he be better than his own secession? ”

"Everyone in Yizhou can surrender to Chen, even if Chen Wenzhao occupies the land of Bashu, they can continue to be reinstated without the slightest loss."

"If the lord surrenders, at most he will be assigned a mansion and a few servants, and then he will be watched for the rest of his life. If Chen Wenzhao's suspicion is too heavy, it is very likely that the lord's life will not be guaranteed after surrendering. ”

"Today, the land of Bashu has outstanding people, fertile fields for thousands of miles, cities and roads are extremely steep, even if they are defeated by the Guanzhong soldiers, their vitality is not injured."

"As long as the lord can reuse talented people and guard the pass, even if Chen Wenzhao pours all the troops in Guanzhong to attack, what does it matter?"

"The road to Shu is difficult, the transportation of grain and grass is extremely difficult, the lord only needs to hold on to the Guanzhong army for a few months, Chen Wenzhao will definitely lead the troops to retreat, and the danger of Yizhou will be solved!"

"I also kissed the lord to behead this person who confuses the public and shakes the hearts of the army, and then punishes the elite soldiers to fight with the Guanzhong army!"

The man was shocked and angry when he heard Zhao Lei's words, and shouted: "What kind of military do you know about this rotten Confucian? Several generals have all died on the battlefield, who else in the land of Bashu can take on the heavy responsibility? ”

"If you insist on being the enemy of the general, not to mention the loss of labor and money, if you fail to resist the Guanzhong army in the end, won't you be tired of the people of Yizhou suffering."

"At that time, you not only trapped the lord for injustice, but also brought trouble to the people of Yizhou."

"You tried your best to persuade the lord to hit the stone with an egg, but it was just to protect his reputation, and he disregarded the lives of millions of people in the land of Bashu!"

"How dare you speak in front of the lord like such a corrupt man!"

Wang Lei's face turned red when he was scolded, and he pointed at the Dongzhou official who was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this time, many Dongzhou officials also spoke out in response to the peace, persuading Liu Zhang to surrender to Chen Xu, so that Yizhou could avoid the scourge of war.

Zheng Du is a rare celebrity under Liu Zhang, and he is also quite prestigious among the civil and military forces in Yizhou, and after he heard this, his face also turned red.

Rolling up his sleeves, Zheng Du's beard turned upward, regardless of the image, he shouted loudly: "The Lu of the king should share the worries of the king, what is your intention to persuade the lord to surrender to Chen Xu like this?" ”

In the face of Wang Ti, those Dongzhou officials still dared to speak out, but after being replaced by Zheng Du, no one dared to speak out.

Zheng Du vented for a while, turned his head and said to Liu Zhang: "Yizhou is the foundation left by the old lord, and now the Han family is in decline, the lord is a clan member of the Han family, and he should take on the important task of reviving the Han family, how can he surrender Chen Xu?" ”

Liu Zhang also respected Zheng Du very much, and immediately asked: "According to Mr. Zhi, how to resist the enemy?" ”

Before Zheng Du could speak, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"How difficult is this matter, there is a plan, it will definitely make the enemies in Guanzhong surround it, and it will be difficult to protect itself, and I dare not get involved in Yizhou again!"

Everyone hurriedly looked up, only to find that the person who spoke was Lord Bo Huangquan.
