Behind Huang Zhong and Kou Feng was Wei Yan and his troops, and there was another horse beside him, and it was Le Jin, who was transferred back from Yizhou, who was sitting right away. With his outstanding performance in Yizhou, Lejin was promoted to General Yang Wu and concurrently served as the Taishou of Yizhou. Now the position of Yizhou Taishou has been given to others, and he has the opportunity to enter Sichuan to make meritorious contributions. Le Jin was full of energy in his heart, and he was ready to make a head, and asked Liu Yan to give him another Taishou in Sichuan. He loves to open up land so much that there is nothing more rewarding than transforming a desolate and uninhabited fishing village into a bustling city.

Behind Wei Yan and Le Jin was Deng Ai, a fledgling man in military uniform. and Ma Yan, who was also dressed in armor but did not wear a helmet. He joined the army as Deng Ai's entourage. Deng Ai is now a young general under Pang Tong. Although his official identity is a Sima, he is less than ten years old, and there are only a thousand soldiers under him, but even Cen Qi, who is the most murderous under Pang Tong, does not dare to underestimate him.

The reason is that Deng Ai has been able to do almost every drop in the previous mock battles, whether it is the pre-war war game deduction, or the wartime arrangement, and on-the-spot command, and the final winning rate is even higher. The other battlefield veterans were amazed. Pang Tong taught him and cultivated him carefully, so that although Deng Ai did not have actual combat experience as a general, he already had a lot of popularity among the soldiers. Ma Jian was even more completely convinced of Deng Ai, and was willing to give up his dream of being a general, only to join the army as Deng Ai's entourage and assist Pang Tong in handling foreign affairs.

Pang Tong is also very satisfied with their combination, Deng Ai is too rigid and does not know how to be flexible. There is Ma Jian on the side to help him a lot, and the most important thing is that the two are brothers, and they have both been taught and guided by Xu Shu and Pang Tong. has been working together for a long time, and when Pang Tong and Xu Shu are not there, the two of them discuss and decide in case of trouble. Now, this is the first time that the two of them have led troops to participate in such a big war, Ma Yan's excitement is beyond words, but Deng Ai has always had a paralyzed face, and his joy and anger are invisible.

As for Zhou Tai, who was in charge of taking the waterway, he had already set off for Fuling one step ahead, of course, he didn't expect him to capture this fortified city, but just asked him to make a prospect in front and clear an open space so that he could set up camp. In other words, Fuling will be the first big city that can be called an obstacle on the waterway.

However, for Liu Yan, who took the most land route, it was possible that the army would encounter resistance as soon as it left Yiling. Because it is not long after Yiling is the big city of Badong, and behind it is Qutang Pass, which is the gateway in Shu, and only by knocking on this portal can it be regarded as a real entry into Shu. Therefore, Liu Yan and Pang Tong both have a plan in their hearts. The war began as soon as he stepped out of Jingzhou's territory.

Of course, on the surface, Liu Yan at this time is high-spirited and majestic. But I was muttering in my heart, so many people came out to see me off, but there was still no teacher, and sure enough, he was still very dissatisfied with my decision, and he couldn't convince me, so he could only resist in this way. But it's okay to see him, I'm not nervous, although a little bit of loss but also reduce my psychological pressure.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan's face changed, and the small leather whip in his hand was raised in the air: "The army is leaving!" As soon as these four words came out, the army immediately moved. Kuai Yue, Jiang Wan and other ministers who were originally surrounding Liu Yan retreated to both sides, each bent down and saluted, sending off their princess and the army, silently blessing, hoping that they could win the victory, take the two rivers as soon as possible, and achieve their strategic goals.

You must know that only some of the main generals and non-commissioned representatives can participate in the departure ceremony in Xiangyang City, and the real large army has already gathered in Yiling, and even Huo Jun, the Jiangling guard general, is waiting for Liu Yan's army to arrive in Yiling at this time, and discuss the defense plan with her.

Liu Yan would never know that when she led the army to leave the school field and came to the city gate, Xu Shu was actually at the head of the city, and he had been waiting, waiting to see Liu Yan out of the city. As a teacher, he has always regarded Liu Yan as a junior, even if Liu Yan proposed to him later, even if Liu Yan had a cold war with him later, he couldn't change the definition of Liu Yan in his heart, how could he really be ruthless enough not to send her?

Liu Yan's army set out to attack Shu, Cao Cao had already prepared, and before the exact news reached Xudu, he had already ordered Cao Zhen, Zhu Ling and Zhao Yan to stay in Xudu, and he took Cao Ren and several other generals to attack Liaodong.

Originally, in Cao Cao's opinion, there was no need to go in person, and even Cao Ren didn't need to go. Just send a random one like a full pet. But he attacked in person and made an elite appearance, in fact, to coax Xu Shu to be fooled. As for taking Cao Ren away, that's true love. In order to help Cao Ren regain his self-confidence, Cao Cao also took great pains, and met Ma Chao, a fierce man, on the battlefield of Xiliang, but failed to achieve his goal, and then took him to Liaodong and asked him to pinch Gongsun Kang, a soft persimmon. Your own people are just different.

On the Jiangdong side, Sun Quan is the most bitter person. I thought that after Liu Yan left, they might have a chance to sneak attack Jiangxia. As a result, the great god Gan Ning did not follow him into Sichuan, but stayed in Jiangxia to guard, it was really a trap for the old grandson, and there was Mu You? Gan Ning is a Shu person, and he is the most awesome figure in the water army, Sun Quan never thought that Liu Yan would leave him in Jiangxia without him attacking Shu. Could it be that Jingzhou already knew about Jiangdong's secret alliance with Cao Cao? It was just some secret arms trading, and on the surface, Jiangdong was still fighting with Cao Cao in Hefei and near Shouchun. Could it be that the little girl in Jingzhou has a heavenly eye?

It's no wonder that Sun Quan is depressed, he is jumping up and down to play a two-faced man, which was originally played for Liu Yan. As a result, he was entertaining himself alone for a long time, Liu Yan ignored him at all, how to arrange it and how to arrange it, as long as Gan Ning was in Jiangxia for a day, the ships in Jiangdong would not dare to cross the line once!

In Liu Yan's heart, it is fire prevention, theft prevention and Jiangdong. Jiangdong people from top to bottom, from Sun Quan to Zhang Wen, Lu Su to Zhou Yu, all those who have dealt with each other, except for Zhou Yu, who is a little better, the others are shameless. She wouldn't believe that Sun Quan would let go of the opportunity to take revenge on Jingzhou, because on the contrary, she would not easily spare the other party. So, of course, she couldn't be reckless and take Gan Ning.

Although this is a bit unkind to Gan Ning himself, he painted a pie for him but did not give him food. But Liu Yan believes that Gan Ning himself knows very well that if the Jiangdong Sun family is not removed, Jiangxia will not be restless. If Jiangxia is restless, the whole of Jingzhou will be uneasy. Therefore, it is necessary for him to stay in Jiangxia!

As for the small grievances between Sun Quan and Cao Cao in Hefei, they are not in the eyes of Liu Yan and Xu Shu at all. This is also too fake, the guard Zhang Liao has never appeared in the city. I saw the soldiers in Jiangdong lazily carrying ladders, symbolically climbing two meters, and symbolically throwing some small pebbles or something on it, and the people below retreated.

Nima doesn't need to elaborate on this, outsiders only need to look at it to know if it's fake, okay! This Jiangdong and Cao Cao's alliance is definitely more true than Pearl. Let's ask under these circumstances, how could Liu Yan pull Gan Ning to Sichuan? Even if Gan Ning wanted to return to his hometown in fine clothes, Liu Yan could only say sorry, okay? Sun Quan had no face and no skin, and his front foot was so red that he almost couldn't go back, and now he went to the pole again to form an alliance with others. It's something that only he can do.

In short, when the current Sun Quan saw Gan Ning staying in Jiangxia, his expression was like swallowing a fly alive. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.

Let's say that Liu Yan is here, and when she got out of Yiling, she got into the carriage. Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, and Kou Feng were in front of and behind her car, and they could be seen with just a curtain. With these three people here, plus the escort of Kou Xi and Ko Wang, the safety factor is very high. Therefore, Liu Yan was very comfortable in the car, and when she was fine, she lay on the cushion and repeatedly studied the diastolic map in her hand. She embroidered it into a handkerchief and hid it in her sleeve, and when she had nothing to do, she took it out and looked at it and studied it. As for the screen in the princess's mansion, it has been moved to the hall for Jiang Wan and Liu Ba to use for meetings.

She's quite comfortable, I didn't expect anyone to be more comfortable than her. That is, Huang Zhong and Wei Yanlejin, who were ordered to attack Badong and take Qutang Pass, entered the trio. As soon as they arrived at their destination, the Badong guards opened the city gate with civil and military officials and surrendered, and presented it to Liu Yan together with Qutang Pass. Liu Yan thought that the first obstacle she would encounter was that nothing happened, and she passed the test smoothly!

Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and the others did not dare to slack off, and continued to advance the army. Liu Yan learned that she hadn't arrived in Padang yet, and Badong was hers, and Qutangguan actually bought one get one free, and she hadn't paid a penny yet. Such a good cheap is not taken advantage of. Liu Yan accepted the gift with a smile on the spot, and sent a message to Jiang Wan to send someone to take over quickly. Of course, the guards in Shu couldn't let them stay, and after Liu Yan asked about the situation, he let a few of them accompany the army.

Later, Liu Yan personally asked the Shu generals who surrendered why they did not resist and chose to surrender directly. As a result, the words of the guard made her unexpected, there are still such subordinates in the world, and she said that if Liu Zhang knew about it, wouldn't you pick your skin?

It turned out that the reason why those people surrendered without fighting was not because they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but because they were dissatisfied with Liu Zhang's long-term emphasis on literature and light on military force and not cultivating military affairs. Most of the troops in Shuzhong are facing the problem of serious shortage of ordnance and poor quality. Although the purpose of being a soldier in these years is to be able to eat with a mouthful of food, if you only give food and do not practice and do not pull out the actual combat, your combat effectiveness will have been completely lost. How could such an army be able to hold the city?

After Liu Yan asked about the situation, she also began to worry. It's the rhythm of putting gold on your face. We must not take it lightly and must not relax. The Northern Expedition has just begun, and I will have experience in this kind of thing in the future. (To be continued.) )
