Chapter 1114: The Battle Situation of the Eastern Route Army

Liu Bei, who had no soldiers and horses, did not dare to stay, and fled back to Ruocheng in embarrassment. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The army of 30,000 is gone, and Liu Bei has no soldiers and horses to resist Li Yi's army. On the one hand, he retreated back to Chengdu on all fronts, and on the other hand, he quickly flew to report Wu Yi, who had recovered. Ba County still has Liu Bei's 100,000 people, he is ready to abandon Ba County, gather the last soldiers and horses to Chengdu, and fight Li Yi to the death under the city of Chengdu.

And Li Yi won a complete victory, and the soldiers got the gateway to Chengdu without blood.

………………

Luocheng, the temporary palace of Emperor Wude, Li Yi feasted the ministers.

Li Yi stood high on the throne, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Being able to completely annihilate the main force of the Xichuan Shu army is thanks to your ......."

"It's really the emperor who came to the dangerous place to lure the enemy deep, and we don't dare to take credit." Everyone toasted together.

Li Yi drank it all, and the ministers also drank bitterly.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Yi, who was bent on capturing Xichuan, couldn't help but ask about the future war.

Xun You, the military advisor of the army, went out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, after Liu Bei returned to Chengdu, he is actively mobilizing the soldiers and horses of the eight counties in the south of Yizhou, including Shu County, Shu County, Yueyun County, Qianwei County, Qianwei County, Qianwei County, Yizhou County, Yongchang County, etc., if he completes the deployment of troops, he will gather an army of 100,000. Coupled with the 100,000 troops of Wu Yi, the general of Shu Han who was defending against the hussar generals, the strength should not be underestimated. Whether our army only besieges Chengdu but does not attack, first seize Jiangzhou, cut off the route of Yufu Wu Yi's troops to retreat to Shuzhong, wait to encircle and annihilate Wu Yi, and deter Jiangdong. Later, he made a big move to encircle and annihilate Liu Bei in Chengdu? ”

Yizhou is the three provinces and one city in the southwest in later generations, and even includes a part of Southeast Asia, covering an area of millions of square kilometers, with a very wide depth.

This requires a stable rear, and Jiangdong also has a Sun Quan, and it is also necessary to defeat the Shu Han general Wu Yibu of Bajun Yufu (called Yong'an in Shu Han) to deter Jiangdong, so that his side can let go of his hands and feet.

So, on the one hand, Li Yi sent an envoy to Jingzhou to inquire about the war of Guan Yubu, and on the other hand, he divided his troops into two routes, one to encircle Chengdu, and all the way south along Fushui, attacking Jiangzhou City, the county of Ba County.

Taking all the northern part of Xichuan into control completely cut off the return route of Wu Yi of Ba County.

………………

When Li Yi dispatched troops, there was a quarrel in the Chengdu Palace.

"Your Majesty, although the city of Chengdu is tall and there is plenty of grain and grass, Your Majesty must not be in Chengdu!" Shu Han Grand Situ Zhang Song persuaded him.

Pang Tong was captured, Fa Zheng assisted Wu Yi in Wu Yi's army, and Zhang Song had become the head of the Chinese officials of the Shu Han Dynasty. But at this moment, Zhang Song was already frightened, and felt that the tall city walls of Chengdu could no longer guarantee his safety, so he urged him to flee south.

Wang Ti came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, how can you give up the capital easily, only the general ......"

"The king is tired of misleading the country!" Zhang Song rudely interrupted Wang Lei's words, "Chengdu is in no danger to defend, at this moment, the Tang army is pressing, and Your Majesty cannot stay for a long time." ”

For many years, the fall of the capital city meant that the country had fallen, and if the country fell, the morale of the people would be depressed. It is true that the capital cannot be easily lost, but Liu Bei really does not want to be trapped in Chengdu.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Song and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, according to your wishes, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "Dianchi Lake, the county seat of Yizhou, is surrounded by mountains on three sides, bordering Dianchi Lake in the north, with lakes and mountains, natural interest, and four seasons like spring, and pleasant climate. Compared with Chengdu, it is easier to defend and difficult to attack. More importantly, the Tang Army's expedition to this place must have been poorly supplied......"

At this point, Zhang Song said earnestly: "Your Majesty, our army is no longer the opponent of the Tang Army at present, and only by holding on can we find an opportunity." If the general can return in time, then we can defend the southern part of Yizhou, where the terrain is even more treacherous. If the general can't come back...... Only Yizhou County can hold on to ...... for a long time"

Liu Bei followed Zhang Song's suggestion, leaving Meng Da as the general, assisted by Shamoke, Huang Quan, and Wang Lei, and led 10,000 horses to defend Chengdu. And he himself took 20,000 soldiers and horses collected from Shu County, Shu County's subordinate states, Qianwei County and other counties, and took most of the grain and grass in Chengdu, and retreated to Yizhou County before the arrival of the Tang army.

………………

When Li Yi led the main force of the Tang army to advance suddenly, the army of the Eastern Road of Cutting Shu led by Guan Yu, the general of the Tang Hussars, was temporarily in a predicament.

Wu Yi, the general of Shu Han, led a 100,000-strong Shu army, which was not much inferior to Guan Yu in terms of strength. In addition, he is defensive and assisted by Fazheng, so he is on par with the Tang Army's East Road Army. For a time, both sides had their own winners and losers. Yufu (Yong'an) on the border of Tang and Shu, that is, the White Emperor City of Liu Bei Tuogu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was stalemate.

In the Tang army camp east of Yufu, Guan Yu, the general of the Shu Han hussars, gathered the generals to discuss the matter, and there were generals such as Xue Rengui, Wei Yan, Meng Hui, Gan Ning, Wen Ping, and Zang Ba, as well as Liu Bowen, Guo Jia, Sima Yi and others.

Guan Yu sat on the hall and asked the people in the hall: "I have been with Wu Yi for more than a month, what do you think of the current war?" ”

Xue Rengui immediately got up, hugged his fists and said: "Hussar general, I heard that the emperor has won many battles in Xichuan, and we have not made an inch of merit here. In the past, when he went on an expedition, the emperor ordered the hussar general to seize Bajun and join the emperor under Chengdu. Today, Wu Yi is sent to death from the city, there is no need to avoid it, and it is okay to lead the army out of the camp to fight! ”

As soon as the words fell, Sima Yi got up and hugged his fists and said: "Hussar general, Wu Yi is brave and strategic, plus he is assisted by the resourceful Fa Zheng, so he cannot be underestimated. It is better to stick to the camp, the emperor won the victory in Xichuan, Wu Yi will definitely not stay in Ba County for a long time, otherwise he will be attacked by the emperor and the hussar general's army on both sides. When he retreats, it is best to send troops to pursue. ”

Guan Yu nodded slightly, but he was eager to fight.

At this time, Wei Yan, who had all his beard, stood up with his eyes open, clasped his fists and said: "Hussar general, Zhong Da's words are the words of scholars, since ancient times, soldiers have come to block the water and cover the earth. Last time, our army fell into Fazheng's ambush plan and suffered a small setback, but now the enemy is outside, and our army is in the big camp. ”

When Sima Yi was still arguing, Liu Bowen got up and said: "Hussar general, there is a certain word, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Liu Bowen, as the second only to Xu Maogong among the ministers of military aircraft, has a lofty status, and is also the chief strategist of the East Road Army. ”

Liu Bowen said: "The reason why our army is stuck is really because Fa Zheng is quite strategic. Wu Yi is capable, but he is high-pitched and strong, and because of his sister's identity, he is very arrogant in Shu. Such a person is most likely to be carried away by victory, and if we let Wu Yi win a few games, he will definitely have inflated self-confidence and no longer listen to the words of Fazheng. We lure it away from Yufu and fight it in the wild, and the Shu army will definitely not be the opponent of our army. ”

Guan Yu is proud, let him lose the battle, he is very unwilling. But he is the most faithful, he has already said before, saying that he wants to listen to Liu Bowen's strategy, and it is not easy to go back on his word at this time, so he listened to Liu Bowen's strategy
