Chengdu, the prefecture of animal husbandry.
Liu Zhang is always worried about the occupation of the front line.
Zhang Lu in the North doesn't worry much. He's an old opponent anyway. It shouldn't be a big problem to have his son Liu Xun resist. On the contrary, it's Liu Xiu's two armies. That's really a headache.
Liu Zhang was in a bad mood, and his housekeeper and servants all withered.
I'm sorry!
Liu Zhang is in a bad mood. Everyone below is very anxious and wants to make Liu Zhang happy.
No, you're singing and dancing.
The singer danced, the musician played, and the hall was full of joy.
Liu Zhang looked at the dancing singer with a look of indulgence on his face. He didn't think about other things for the time being.
FA Zheng, Zhang Song and others sat at the bottom, also enjoying the song and dance.
"Newspaper!"
All of a sudden, a valet rushed in.
The sudden appearance of the attendant made the original music disappear in an instant.
This scene also shocked countless people in the hall.
Liu Zhang's face turned black and said coldly, "what happened?"
The attendant was also uneasy and said, "your honor, there are sentinels coming back from outside the mansion to report the news that there is urgent intelligence."
"Bring it in!"
After hearing the speech, Liu Zhang's heart sank.
With a wave of her hand, the singer in the hall stepped down.
The hall became empty, and Liu Zhang looked solemn and waited quietly.
After a short time, the sentinel came to the hall, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "my Lord, it's not good. Wu Yi led 30000 troops to fight Liu Xiu in quren County, and the whole army was destroyed
Boom!
Liu Zhang's brain, a burst of noise.
In front of my eyes, I felt dizzy, and my heart was trembling.
The total loss of 30000 troops has had a great impact.
Liu Zhang asked, "what's the matter? Wu Yi's 30000 troops were suddenly defeated. "
The sentinel also shook his head and said: "the specific information has not yet been inquired. Only when Wu Yi is hit by Liu Xiu's calculation will he be defeated. According to the information sent back by the sentinel, after Liu Xiu captured Wu Yi, he directly released Wu Yi. Now Wu Yi is on the way back to Chengdu. In addition, all the Yizhou soldiers captured by Liu Xiu were released. "
After listening to this, Liu Zhang had a strange expression.
Release Wu Yi!
Release all the captives!
What are Liu Xiu's calculations?
Liu Zhang waved the sentry to retreat, then looked at Fazheng and asked, "Xiaozhi, what do you think of Liu Xiu's release of Wu Yi and the soldiers?"
FA Zheng thought about it and said, "Lord, Liu Xiu is very cunning. His every move, every word and every deed has deep meaning, and it is impossible to do anything that doesn't matter. So the release of Wu Yi and the soldiers must have deep meaning. "
Liu Zhang can't wait to ask: "what's the meaning?"
Fazheng said: "first, is Wu Yi still credible? After all, Wu Yi was captured by Liu Xiu and is now released by Liu Xiu. Is there anything fishy about it? "
"Second, whether the released soldiers were mixed with those arranged by Liu Xiu."
"Third, does Liu Xiu want to win people's hearts by releasing soldiers?"
FA Zheng's expression was solemn and said, "Lord, all these things must be carefully considered."
After hearing this, Liu Zhang thought it was true.
Fazheng's analysis is quite reasonable.
Liu Zhang said, "Xiaozhi thinks how to deal with the soldiers and Wu Yi?"
Fazheng said with a smile: "it's too early to deal with Wu Yi. After all, he is a general under the Lord. What's the matter, or wait until general Wu Yi comes back. As for the soldiers who have escaped, they will be placed separately for the time being after they are gathered together to avoid problems. "
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "yes, that's it."
"Newspaper!"
All of a sudden, another attendant came in and said, "my Lord, there are sentinels in Jiangzhou County, Bajun County sending back the war report."
"Bring it in!"
In Liu Zhang's heart, there was a little expectation.
Li Yan is his confidant, his ability is quite good, and Yan Yan is old and strong.
If two people cooperate, it should be very successful.
Soon the sentry came in. It was just the expression on the sentry's face, but it was a look of deep pain.
This scene failed Liu Zhang's original expectation.
Liu Zhang said coldly, "what happened to Jiangzhou?"
Sentinel report: "report back, my Lord, after Yan Yan's army was defeated, the whole army surrendered. Among them, Yan Yan connived at his subordinate Li Mang's killing Li Yan, then Yan Yan led his troops to surrender. "
"What?"Liu Zhang stood up with an unbelievable look on his face.
How can Yan Yan lead the army to surrender?
Liu Zhang shook his head and said, "Yan Yan is an old minister of Yizhou. He is loyal. How can he surrender? This is absolutely impossible. What's going on? "
The sentinel also knew the news. He reported: "at that time, he was fighting with Zhao Yun. The governor Yan asked to avoid but not occupy. The commander Li asked for war. After the beginning of the war, Li was defeated because he was determined to go his own way. When he returned to the camp afterwards, Li Junshi said that it was caused by the lack of cooperation of Yan Taishou. He even blamed Yan Taishou for his thirty army staff and said that he would write a letter to the Lord and ask him to punish him. In a hurry, his subordinates directly led the troops to kill Li Yan. "
"Son of a bitch!"
Liu Zhang was so angry that he scolded him. Li Yan was such a jerk.
Fazheng sat down and heard the sentry's words. A smile passed by his mouth.
Sure enough, Li Yan and Yan Yan couldn't get along.
This result itself is in the calculation of FA Zheng.
Zhang song also nodded slightly. He looked sad on his face, but he was also happy in his heart. As a person who has long been on Liu Xiu's side, Zhang song wants Liu Xiu to come to Chengdu directly.
Liu Zhang's heart, also began to worry.
When the two armies were defeated, he was defeated at the expense of his troops. Now what can he do to resist Liu Xiu?
For a moment, Liu Xiu couldn't think of a good way.
Liu Zhang took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then looked at Fazheng and said, "Xiaozhi, the situation is so rotten, what do you say to do?"
The man with outstanding strategy under his command is Fazheng.
Therefore, Liu Zhang placed all his hopes on Fazheng.
When Fazheng heard Liu Zhang's question, the tension on his face gradually disappeared, and he recovered his calm. Then he asked, "my Lord, how many troops do we have in Yizhou?"
After thinking about it, Liu Zhang replied, "Chengdu is the only place with more than 20000 soldiers. After all, most of the soldiers were sent out. If more troops are needed, they can only be deployed from all over the country. "
Fazheng said: "my Lord, now that Liu Xiu and Zhao Yun have been killed, it will not help to dispatch soldiers and Chengdu's troops to resist. Even, on the contrary, it may be broken by each one. "
"Under such circumstances, we have to shrink our forces."
"My Lord, take all the troops back and concentrate in Chengdu, and then prepare to fight Liu Xiu."
Fazheng said: "at the same time of the decisive battle, the Lord also needs to send people to Cao Wei to ask Cao Cao for help. As long as we delay until Cao Cao sends troops to help each other, or Cao Cao attacks Liu Xiu, then our crisis will come into contact. "
Zhang Song said, "Mr. FA's proposal is good. I agree with it."
The rest of them agreed.
The current situation can not tolerate any relief, so we can only do so.
Liu Zhang nodded and said, "Xiaozhi, it's up to you to arrange the deployment of troops. Bring all the troops back to garrison. We will stick to Chengdu and fight Liu Xiu if necessary. At the same time, you also sent people to Cao Cao's rescue. "
"Yes
FA Zheng smiles in his heart. It's interesting to leave the matter to him.
It's a sure thing to do when the troops are transferred back.
As for sending someone to ask Cao Cao for help, it is naturally sending someone out to make a show.
When the matter was settled, Liu Zhang was no longer interested in watching the singer dance, so he got up and left. Fazheng, Zhang Song and others left the government one after another to do their own business.
