Chapter 1316： : Soldiers approach the city

"Here." The officials in the field said in unison. No matter what they say, Liu Zhang's prestige in Yizhou is definitely not comparable to others. Chengdu has enough food and grass for 20,000 troops to consume for five years, which is a huge sum of money. If Liu Zhang was determined to resist the Jingzhou army, even if Liu Bei had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he would never want to take Chengdu City.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Zhang fell into a long silence. Over the years, although he treated his officials generously, but in Yizhou, there have been betrayals one after another. Because of Zhang Song and Fazheng’s betrayal, Jingzhou The army was able to enter Yizhou, which plunged Yizhou into the flames of war. Wu Yi’s betrayal caused Zhang Ren to be defeated outside Fucheng, Li Yan’s betrayal caused Mianzhu to fall, and Yan Yan’s betrayal caused Luocheng to be lost. Waiting for things, Liu Zhang had to think more.

For a long time, Liu Zhang sighed, got up and left the prefecture, but his figure looked a little depressed, his originally straight chest seemed to have lost its support, and the whole person looked much older.

After Liu Zhang walked in the city for half a day, he couldn't feel calm. Now that the Jingzhou army has broken through Luocheng, there is a lot of discussion in the city. Even ordinary people are extremely concerned about the war at this time. They are worried about their own safety. However, from these discussions, Liu Zhang can feel the people's respect for Liu Bei.

Whether these people's betrayal was due to his incompetence or the strength of the Jingzhou army, after returning to the prefecture, Liu Zhang locked himself in the study.

Liu Bei led the troops to Luocheng. He was so relieved for Yan Yan and was very surprised that Zhang Fei was able to seize Luocheng from Liu Zhang in this way. From this battle, we can see Zhang Fei’s brilliant and resourceful performance. , It is not the rough and fierce general in the eyes of ordinary soldiers.

"Ying De was able to seize Luocheng City, it was the fortune of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, the loyal and righteous people like General Yan were taken care of. If they can occupy Yizhou this time, the two of them have contributed to it." Liu Bei concealed his words. The joy of living, after he captured Luocheng, it meant that Liu Zhang had only the last city.

As for the other counties and counties in Yizhou, as long as the Chengdu government is in his hands, why can't they calm down other places.

"My lord, Zheng Du once persuaded Liu Zhang to build a clear wall outside Luocheng, defending Luocheng, so that the Jingzhou army could not advance..." Yan Yan said once Zheng Du's persuasion.

Liu Bei said: "Fortunately, Liu Zhang did not listen to Zheng Du's words, otherwise the Jingzhou Army is in danger." After the Jingzhou Army entered Yizhou, the reason why it was able to achieve successive victories has a great relationship with the surprise and the arrogance of the Yizhou Army. If the Yizhou Army is committed to defending, relying on the strength of the Jingzhou Army, it is extremely difficult to break Yizhou.

"It's a sigh that Yuan Zhi actually died in Luofengpo." Thinking of Xu Shu who was killed in battle, Liu Bei's eyes were reddish.

Zhang Fei persuaded: "Big brother, people can't come back to life after death, but I still hope to mourn."

Liu Bei nodded. Naturally, he was extremely sorry for Xu Shu's death. After the army entered Yizhou, it was the time to hire people.

"It's a pity that Zhang Ren's child was able to escape from our army." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth.

Yan Yan on the side was alarmed. Zhang Fei and Liu Bei mentioned this. He was a general of the Yizhou Army at the time, and even a general of the army at that time. If Liu Bei asks the crime because of this, wouldn't it mean that his situation is in danger? .

Seeing Yan Yan’s concerns, Liu Bei said: “Zhang Ren is not afraid. Although this general lost Yuanzhi, he was helped by the old general Yan. It is natural to pacify Yizhou.”

Yan Yan was relieved after hearing this.

After gathering the soldiers and horses in Luocheng, Liu Bei discussed the attack on Chengdu. Although the situation in Yizhou is extremely favorable for the Jingzhou Army, Lu Bu led the army to break through the Baishui Pass. If it is calm, it means that the Jingzhou Army will be in danger.

Ma Chao said: "The general is willing to lead troops and horses to attack Chengdu." Since turning to Liu Bei, Ma Chao has been relatively low-key. Through Hanzhong's events, he realized that if he acts as a subordinate to make the monarch fearful, it will not be too good. The end.

Liu Bei nodded and said, "With the courage of Meng Qi, you will definitely be able to compete."

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this.

Three days later, Ma Chao led 10,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the outside of Chengdu. There were many flags outside the city, and the Jingzhou Army was extremely powerful. The defenders on the city were in danger. Now that the Jingzhou Army is even more close to the city, the fear in their hearts can be imagined.

In the prefecture, animal husbandry mansion, the generals reported that Ma Chao led the troops out of the city, and Liu Zhang hurriedly came to the city accompanied by a group of generals.

But seeing Ma Chao standing under the city, he shouted: "Liu Jiyu, please come out and answer."

Liu Zhang replied: "A certain is Yizhou animal husbandry. Your Excellency led your troops to Chengdu and invaded another state or county for no reason. He was a courtier of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, you used to serve under Zhang Lu's but turned to take refuge. With Liu Bei, how dare such ungrateful people clamor like this outside the city."

"Zhang Lu did not obey the imperial order. Why should this general lead his troops to join General Liu? Instead, Liu Zhoumu is careful about his own safety. Now Guanghan County is owned by General Liu, Jia Mengguan guard general Meng Da, and even more General Liu surrendered, if you persist in not realizing it, after the army city breaks through the city, you will surely be killed. This general has always heard that Liu Jiyu treats the people generously. Could it be that he watched the people in Chengdu suffer disaster like this?" Ma Chao shouted.

Seeing that the army outside the city was extremely powerful, Liu Zhang fainted when he thought of the soldiers and civilians in the city with fear in the expressions of his soldiers.

Everyone hurriedly rescued Liu Zhang and helped down the city wall. The generals who followed saw Liu Zhang like this. They were even more disappointed with Liu Zhang. Although the Jingzhou Army is strong, there are tens of thousands of troops in the city. There is plenty of food and grass. If you are careful to defend, Jingzhou Army It’s not easy to break the city of Chengdu. As the state governor of Yizhou, Chengdu city is high and deep. Even if the Jingzhou army attacks the city, it is difficult to break. It is possible to delay the soldiers and horses staying in Jingzhou and unite with Lu Bu to help Liu Bei. The state drove out.

In times of crisis, the performance of the coach has a great impact on the morale of the army. From the dialogue between Liu Zhang and Ma Chao, you can see how incompetent Liu Zhang is. Can lead them to victory.

After returning to the prefecture, Liu Zhang, with a pale face, sat in the upper position, and slowly said: "The prince is unknown, so that Yizhou is in the present situation. It is better to open the city gate to save the people in the city."

Dong He said: "There are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the money and food are enough for five years. How can you easily take refuge in Liu Bei like this?"
