Chapter 797

After Zhang Ren withdrew from Jiameng pass, he led the Yizhou army to retreat southward, marching 200 Li a day. After seven days, he successfully withdrew into the sword Pavilion. At the same time, he sent envoys to Chengdu City to ask Liu Zhang for help.

The news of Zhang Ren's garrison at Jiange and the fall of Jiangzhou was also introduced into Chengdu. At that time, the city was full of chatter, from top to bottom, from top to bottom, whether it was high-ranking officials or ordinary people in Central Sichuan.

However, in the Council Hall of Chengdu City, there were heated discussions.

"My Lord, governor Zhang sent a letter asking him to send reinforcements and supplies to Jiange immediately."

But Liu Zhang's face was ugly: "first lost Jiangzhou, and then lost Jiameng pass, can this sword Pavilion be defended?"

Liu Zhang didn't want to compete with the Liangzhou army, but he was very confident in defense. After all, there were many majestic passes in Shuzhong, and it should not be a problem to simply defend the enemy's attack.

However, Yan Yan was defeated in the first place, and the whole army was destroyed. Jiangzhou city fell into the enemy's hands, and the east of Sichuan was opened. Then Zhang Ren gave up Jiameng pass on his own initiative and led his army to retreat into the sword Pavilion, which enabled the Liangzhou army to March straight in. Naturally, Liu Zhang had a lot of resentment about Zhang Ren who retreated without fighting.

Seeing Liu Zhang's words full of resentment, Huang Quan stood up and said: "my Lord was dissatisfied with governor Zhang's retreat without authorization. Jiangzhou and Jiameng pass advance together and retreat together. Now general Yan is defeated. Then Liangzhou army of Jiangzhou can lead the army northward and attack Liu Ye back and forth. In this way, the army under governor Zhang must not advance or retreat, and the enemy can go straight Take Chengdu. "

"The reason why governor Zhang led his army to retreat into Jiange was that he was worried. It was not because he was not willing to fight, but only for the sake of the overall situation."

Hearing Huang Quan's explanation, Liu Zhang's face became more beautiful, but he still said in a deep voice: "but general Yan has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and Jiangzhou city has fallen so quickly. Now the two armies of the enemy are converging. I'm afraid there are 100000 people. Can our army resist?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's face showing fear, Huang Quan said in a hurry: "don't worry, my Lord. There are nearly 20000 elite under governor Zhang's command. He leads his army to stick to the sword Pavilion. Even Liu Ye can't do anything about it himself. Now he only needs to send reinforcements and food to the sword Pavilion. The defense of the sword Pavilion must be as solid as gold."

Zhang Song and Meng Da stood up suddenly and asked for orders: "my Lord, I can't wait for you, but I'd like to escort the grain and grass to the sword pavilion to help Dadu governor guard the city."

Hearing that the Liangzhou army was overwhelming, and that the Yizhou army either actively or passively gave up jiamengguan and Jiangzhou, most Yizhou officials were worried, while Mengda and Zhang Song were overjoyed. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could go to jiangge and seize the opportunity to put the enemy into the city and make great contributions to the Liangzhou army's entering Sichuan?

Seeing the crisis, Meng Da and Zhang song took the initiative to ask for help. Liu Zhang naturally nodded with joy: "your loyalty is commendable. I'm very grateful."

However, Liu Zhang did not directly ask for the appointment of two people. Instead, he turned to Wu Yi and said, "general Wu Lang, how about leading your troops to support the sword pavilion?"

Wu Yi is a general of Zhenwei Zhonglang in Yizhou, but he is not an ordinary person. He has a deep relationship with Liu Yan, the father of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang married Wu Yi's sister for his son Liu Mao. So Liu Zhang and Wu Yi had a good relationship.

Hearing Liu Zhang's words, Wu Yi stood up and said, "the Lord is famous. Don't dare not to obey him. Please give me 10000 troops. In this way, there will be 30000 troops in the sword Pavilion. The sword Pavilion is as solid as gold. With these 30000 troops, even if the Liangzhou army has 100000 people, it will be difficult to break through in a short time."

"In addition, please ensure the supply of food and grass for the sword Pavilion."

There are 30000 troops in Jiange, and hundreds of stones of grain and grass are consumed in one day. The supply of grain and grass is naturally the top priority.

Liu Zhang nodded: "good to say."

"Order Wu Yi to be the chief general, Liu Xun to be the deputy general, Meng Da and Zhang song, along with the military counsellors, to lead 10000 troops to jiangge to help Dadu defend!"

Liu xunnai is the son of Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang appointed Liu Xun as his deputy general. On the one hand, he wanted to suppress Wu Yi and supervise the military aircraft. On the other hand, he revealed his determination to stick to the sword Pavilion.

"Here it is

"Well, since there's nothing wrong with it, go down."

Liu Zhang sighed and waved his hand. Naturally, all the civil and military officials of Yizhou went out, while Zhang Song and Meng Da walked together and discussed in a low voice.

"I didn't expect that the general's troops were so sharp that they captured Jiangzhou so quickly that Zhang Ren had to withdraw from Jiameng pass. The Liangzhou army is indeed a powerful force in the world." Mengda sighed with emotion.

Zhang Song said with a smile: "it's natural that we Yizhou army can't compare with Liangzhou army which has experienced many battles."

Zhang song suddenly lowered his voice: "when we get to Jiameng pass, we will find a way to get in touch with the outside of the city, offer a sword Pavilion, and then we will make great achievements. The general will definitely have another reward."

Meng Da's eyes were shining: "it's just like this. Liu Jiyu is weak, weak and weak. Only the great general is worthy of our service."

On the second day, Wu Yi and Liu Xun led the ten thousand Yizhou army in Chengdu, as well as Meng Da and Zhang song, to Jiange."Dudu!"

"Wu Lang Jiang, just in time!"

Zhang Ren laughed and held Wu Yi's hand: "I don't know how many soldiers Wu Lang will bring?"

"Is ten thousand people enough?" Wu Yi said with a smile.

"Ha ha ha, that's enough. In this way, there will be 30000 troops in the sword Pavilion."

Zhang Ren said with a smile: "with the 30000 troops in hand, the Liangzhou army can not move forward."

"Dudu is really ambitious. I admire him."

Seeing that the speaker was Liu Xun, Zhang Ren quickly returned his salute: "it turned out that the major general came in person. The sword Pavilion is the front line. It's really dangerous. The son of a thousand gold doesn't go to the hall."

Liu Xun said with a smile: "Dadu governor doesn't need to be polite. Yizhou is in danger now. Although he is the son of the state shepherd, he should share weal and woe with the generals and soldiers."

Zhang Ren nodded excitedly: "the major general is here, I must be greatly encouraged by Yizhou's Sergeant spirit, and the sword Pavilion is as solid as gold!"

At this time, Meng Da and Zhang Song both stepped forward and said in unison: "I have met the governor of Dadu."

"Well."

Zhang Ren nodded: "now is the critical time, you must do your best, you know?"

"Here it is."

Meng Da was angry in his heart. Zhang Ren treated Liu Xun and Wu Yi so courteously, but he was so indifferent to himself. How could it be.

However, although Meng Da was angry in his heart, his face was still very submissive, and did not show any disrespect. Soon, he would stand on Zhang Ren's head.
