Just when Liu Bi led his troops to attack Dianjiang, Zhang Ren was discussing military affairs with Leng Bao in Langzhong.

Leng Bao said: "The Guanzhong army was defeated, the grain and grass were all lost, and they were retreating to Anhan County. ”

Zhang Ren was slightly moved when he heard this, but he still shook his head and said: "If you go north to pursue the rout army led by Liu Pi, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth, and it may not be able to completely wipe out this road of soldiers and horses." ”

"Chen Wenzhao led the army south, or it won't be long before he entered Ba County, if he didn't take advantage of the current return army to exterminate Xu Huang and others, there would definitely be endless troubles in the future."

Leng Bao said: "Even if Xu Huang and Gan Ning attack Guanghan County from Zitong Shui, how many soldiers and horses can they lead to go together?" ”

"If the lord sends a large army to fight again, Xu Huang and the others may not be able to resist it, the general's idea is a little too unfounded?"

Zhang Ren shook his head and said, "Xu Huang is a famous general in Guanzhong, and even General Yan Yan was defeated and captured by him, which shows that this person is not trivial." ”

"Gan Xingba is a former Jinfan thief, brave and abnormal, and powerful Bashu, which is by no means easy to match; Tian Yuanhao is even more famous in the world, and the reason why Chen Wenzhao has achieved today's hegemony is inseparable from this person's plan. ”

"With these three people gathered together, even if they don't have too many soldiers and horses, it is not easy to match. If you are not careful, the entire Guanghan County may be turned upside down. ”

"If Guanghan County is in chaos, the rear is unstable; The rear is unstable, how can it resist the Guanzhong army? ”

Leng Bao was speechless by Zhang Ren, but he was still a little unimpressed, he didn't think that five thousand soldiers and horses could set off much of a storm.

Just when the two were discussing, a soldier suddenly led a messenger over and said: "Zitong was lost, Xu Huang led the elite soldiers of Guanzhong to attack the Sword Pavilion, but was blocked by General Deng Xian, and had no choice but to withdraw to Zitong." ”

"The lord sent two generals, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Zitong, but there was no progress; Later, Gan Ning led the army to rob the camp, and the army was broken by Sergeant Guan, and the grain and grass were burned. ”

"Yang Huai and Gao Pei led the troops to flee in a hurry, and were chased and killed by the Guanzhong army for more than 30 miles, and there were countless dead; After that, Guanghan County shook and Chengdu shook. ”

"The lord asked the villain to rush here in the starry night, and asked the general to quickly lead the troops back to help and exterminate Xu Huang, Gan Ning and others."

Zhang Ren and Leng Bao suddenly got the news, and their faces changed greatly, they didn't think that Zitong's Guanzhong soldiers had an extremely strong lineup and were difficult to deal with.

However, when they heard that Yang Huai and Gao Pei led an army of 30,000 but suffered a great defeat, they still felt a little unbelievable.

Leng Bao's beard was all open, and he shouted loudly: "Yang Huai, Gao Pei Nai, the famous generals of Bashu, marched and set up formations, set up camps, advanced and retreated, and defended tightly, how could they be robbed by the Guanzhong army so easily?" ”

There are definitely not a few famous generals in Bashu, and the abilities of Yang Huai and Gao Pei are not even below Leng Bao and others.

Since their opponent is Xu Huang, a famous general in Guanzhong, the two of them will definitely not be defenseless, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be robbed by the Guanzhong army.

It was with these in mind that Leng Bud asked questioningly.

When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The villain does not know much about the details of the battle, but he only knows that after the defeat of the two generals, the lord was furious and wanted to take their crimes, but he was absolved by the officials. ”

"Lord Bo Huangquan made a statement to the lord, saying that Xu Huang and Gan Ning are both famous generals in Guanzhong, and they should not underestimate the enemy, and they must recall a few generals to kill these two, so they sent me to deliver the letter."

When Zhang Ren heard this, he said to Leng Bao: "Why do you have to embarrass a messenger? ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ren appeased the messenger for a while, asked him to retreat first, and said to Leng Bao: "The war here has just subsided, and the lord still doesn't know that we have broken through the Guanzhong army, so we need to lead all the soldiers and horses back to help." ”

"Liu Bi led his troops to seize Dianjiang and Jiangzhou, and it was difficult to retreat in a hurry; Langzhong can't be garrisoned without a general, so it seems that this time I can only lead the army back to help. ”

"It's just that General Leng was shot in the thigh and wounded on his body, I don't know if he can take on the heavy responsibility of guarding Langzhong?"

Leng Bud said excitedly: "It's just a small injury, why worry about it?" ”

"The general only needs to lead the troops back to help, leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses here, even if Chen Wenzhao leads an army of 100,000 to attack, Langzhong is also impregnable."

Zhang Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "According to your words, I will leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to help you defend Langzhong, and after returning to the army and capturing Xu Huang and others, I will join forces with the general and have a good fight with Chen Wenzhao." ”

Leng Bao was also arrogant, and said: "The general just needs to leave, it is enough for me to have in Lang!" ”

Since the two of them have set a strategy, Zhang Ren led the soldiers and horses to withdraw the army and return to help.

It's just that he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't go to Langzhong, so he sent a messenger to inform Liu Bi, so that after Liu Bi broke through Dianjiang and Jiangzhou, he quickly joined forces with Leng Bao to guard against the upcoming Guanzhong army.

However, it was said that Liu Bi won Dianjiang, and after killing the general who guarded the city, he was ready to repeat his old tricks to seize Jiangzhou.

Or Liu Bi said: "The Jiangzhou guard general is Zhang Lu's former lord Bo Yanpu, this person has a lot of strategies, I am afraid it is not easy to capture the city, and the general still needs to plan carefully." ”

Liu Bi said: "If you are taken by surprise and attacked unprepared, no matter how resourceful Yan Pu is, if he does not get the result of the war in the north, he will definitely be defenseless." ”

"With mental calculations or unintentional, it is not difficult to break through Jiangzhou."

Liu Bi didn't listen to the man's words, and left a few soldiers and horses to garrison Dianjiang, but he himself led the army, disguised as a soldier in Guanzhong, and then killed Benjiangzhou.

In Jiangzhou City, Yan Pu and Yan Yan sat opposite each other, and the two actually played Go leisurely together.

"Smack!"

The white son fell on the chessboard, and the black child and a big dragon were suddenly slaughtered.

Seeing this, Yan Pu couldn't help but laugh loudly: "General Yan, you lost again!" ”

Yan Yan threw away the chess pieces in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Chess is not your opponent, you should find someone else to play in the future." ”

Yan Pu stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "Our army has occupied Jiangzhou for so long, and it still does not offend the people in the city, and even many Jiangzhou army prisoners are moved and are willing to surrender. ”

"According to the general's view, our army can be regarded as a division of benevolence and righteousness?"

Yan Yan shook his head and said, "Under my rule, the people of Yizhou originally lived and worked in peace and contentment, never closed their doors at night, and left no roads behind. Although the Guanzhong army broke the city, it did not commit any offences against the people, and it also treated the prisoners extremely favorably. ”

"But sir, do you know how many crops in the fields have been ruined by this war, and how many people have fled from Ba County for fear of the scourge of war?"

"Regardless of anything else, just talking about those Yizhou soldiers who died on the battlefield, wouldn't their relatives be grief-stricken when they learned the news?"

"Since the sir, since the Guanzhong army is a benevolent and righteous army, why not persuade the general to withdraw to Guanzhong and make a truce with Yizhou, so that the people will never have to suffer from the scourge of war again!"

Yan Pu's smile froze on his face, shook his head slightly, and said: "The unification of the world is the trend of the times, and heroes in troubled times should rise up and return the people of the world to a bright future." ”

"If you are complacent, give up great benevolence because of small benevolence, and sacrifice great righteousness because of small righteousness, isn't it sacrificing the original to seek the end?"

"If Liu Yizhou really cares for the people and loves the people, why don't you give up the land of Bashu to my lord, so that the people of Yizhou can avoid the suffering of war?"

Yan Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You are completely forceful, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore." As for the latter words of the gentleman, don't say it. ”

Yan Pu looked at the stubborn Yan Yan, and couldn't say anything to persuade him to surrender.

After being silent for a while, Yan Yan suddenly asked, "General Xu's sneak attack on Guanghan County, isn't Mr. worried at all?" ”

Yan Pu didn't have the slightest surprise when he heard this, but just asked, "When did the old general find out that General Xu Huang was cheating?" ”

Yan Yan said: "Not long after General Liu Pi left, he went to the outside of the Guanzhong military camp to watch, and found that although the military camp was full of flags, there were fewer soldiers and horses, so he was a little puzzled. ”

"After a few days of observation and testing, I saw that there was no anxiety on Mr. 's face, and General Xu Huang had no news, so I determined the idea in my heart."

Yan Pu sighed: "The general's observation is so meticulous, it is impressive. ”

"The general asked me if I was worried about General Xu Huang, but I only knew one thing but didn't know the other."

"The people who attacked Guanghan County this time, in addition to General Xu Huang, also included Gan Xingba, the general of the navy, and Tian Yuanhao, the top strategist in Guanzhong."

"With these three people there, don't say that most of the famous generals of Bashu are not in Guanghan County, even if you gather together, what are you afraid of?"

Yan Yan's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Gan Xingba is the former leader of the Jinfan thieves? ”

Yan Pu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Exactly! ”

His face changed for a while, but Yan Yan suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Mr. is talking like this, it is too underestimated that I am a talented Bashu!" ”

"Tian Yuanhao and the others are arrogant and rash, if they all die in Guanghan County, presumably Chen Wenzhao will be very distressed!"

Yan Pu shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, with the wisdom of Mr. Yuan Hao, the calmness of General Xu Huang, and the courage of General Gan Ning, who can balance them in the whole Yizhou?" ”

Yan Yan sneered: "Bashu heroes, it seems that characters like me are also a vehicle bucket, if Tian Feng and others lead the army to fight steadily, the victory or defeat is not yet known." ”

"However, these three people are so rash of the enemy, it is really the way to die!"

The two argued for a while, but after all, they broke up unhappily, and after Yan Yan left, Yan Pu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Is it too risky for the military advisor to plan and act like this?"

Yan Pu walked back and forth in the house, still unable to relieve the irritability in his heart, and suddenly, he heard a rush of footsteps.

"Sir, there is a troop of soldiers and horses from outside the city, and they are going into the city."

Yan Pu asked a little absentmindedly, "Is it the soldiers and horses from the Dianjiang River?" ”

The soldier replied, "Exactly! ”

Yan Pu waved his hand and said, "In that case, let them in." ”

The soldiers retreated outside after receiving the order, but Yan Pu muttered to himself: "Over there in Dianjiang, there are often soldiers who come to contact during this time, but there is no news about the battle in Langzhong for a while. ”

Thinking of this, Yan Pu's heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly stopped the soldier who was about to leave, and asked, "How many people have come from Dianjiang this time?" ”

The soldier was stopped by Yan Pu, so he had to turn around and reply, "There are nearly five hundred men and horses. ”

"Five hundred?"

Hearing this, Yan Pu's brows furrowed even tighter.

He picked up the sharp sword on the desk and shouted, "Quickly gather the soldiers and horses in the city and follow me to the city gate." ”

Outside Jiangzhou City, Liu Bi disguised himself as an ordinary sergeant and stood quietly outside the city.

Originally, the gates were open, and the people could enter and leave the gates as they pleased.

However, there were scouts outside the city all the time, and when they heard that 500 soldiers and horses were coming, the general who guarded the gate ordered the gate to be closed.

Although it has been confirmed that the soldiers and horses outside are the Guanzhong army, due to the military order, these people are still locked outside the city wall.

Only after Yan Pu's order will the gates be opened.

A Yizhou general bowed his head and whispered to Liu Bi, who was dressed in disguise: "Fraud is a very dangerous thing, how can the general, as the commander of an army, take such a risk?" ”

Liu Bi also whispered: "I am the main general, if I don't move forward bravely, who among the soldiers will fight to the death?" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Bi looked at the city gate that was still closed, frowned and said, "It's been so long, why hasn't the city gate been opened?" ”

Liu Bi was confident that there was absolutely no problem with the disguise of the Yizhou army, and he also inquired that Dianjiang would often ask the sergeants and soldiers to go to Jiangzhou, and they would not be blocked.

But today, for some reason, they have been locked up outside the city for a long time.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Just when Liu Bi was waiting a little impatiently, the suspension bridge at the gate of Jiangzhou City was lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened.

"Sir has agreed, you can quickly enter the city and rest!"

The guards on the city wall shouted loudly to the Yizhou soldiers who were disguised as Guanzhong soldiers below.

Seeing this, Liu Bi was overjoyed, and hinted that the Guanzhong generals who were pretending to be in front of him led the army into the city.

"Into town!"

Five hundred soldiers crossed the drawbridge as if nothing happened, and walked towards the city gate, they had just entered the city, and the outside of the city was immediately dusty, and a Biao Yizhou army quickly killed this side.

Liu Xuan suddenly pulled out the weapon in his hand and shouted: "Take the city gate!" ”

The five hundred Yizhou troops who entered the city also drew their weapons, and they were about to kill the Guanzhong soldiers defending the city and occupy the city gate.

"Pull up the drawbridge and release the arrows!"

At this moment, I saw Yan Pu, dressed in military uniform, standing on top of the city wall, shouting loudly.

"Crunch, crunch!"

The suspension bridge was quickly pulled up, and Liu Xuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly asked someone to cut the rope of the suspension bridge.

"Chirp!"

However, a group of archers appeared on the city wall, shooting all the rising Yizhou troops, and the drawbridge was quickly pulled up.

Seeing this, Liu Bi shouted in a lost voice: "Oops, it's a trick!" Let the armies fight to the death and rush to the city! ”
