Jiangyou was sent down and reported to Chengdu!

The next day, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had not yet agreed on whether to reinforce again, and the news of Langzhong's dismissal came again.

Two days later, Ma Tan was defeated, and the news of the Ming army's arrival in Linfu County came at a gallop.

"Prime Minister, the Ming army is attacking fiercely, we can no longer sit idly by, we must respond immediately."

Liu Bei said solemnly: "Now, I am not old enough to walk and lift a sword. ”

Without waiting for Zhuge Liang to object, Xu Shu stood up and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

"Jing Yizhi's safety is tied to His Majesty alone, how can he act rashly! If there is an accident, who can inherit His Majesty's wishes? ”

Zhuge Liang echoed: "What Taiwei Xu said is extremely true, Your Majesty's safety is of great importance, and it is appropriate to sit in the center and take an overview of the overall situation, but if necessary, you can also respond in time." ”

After a pause, he said, "If Your Majesty is really worried, you can lead the troops to go." ”

Liu Bei's heart was a little relieved, and he said: "The prime minister can lead the troops there, and I am very relieved!" ”

Immediately, after discussion, it was decided that Zhuge Liang would lead 8,000 troops to Fuxian County to support. The number seems to be small, but all of them are elite, veterans who have been in the army for many years, not comparable to those soldiers who have been trained in the past two years.

The army was ready, Zhuge Liang also packed his luggage, and when he was ready to leave, Guan Xing reported again.

Knowing that Baishui had been broken, Liu Bei was shocked and angry, because it meant that the barrier in the north had been completely broken, and the road for the Ming army to enter Shu had been completely unblocked.

So, Zhuge Liang had not yet left, and received a new holy decree. Not only did it increase the army of 5,000, but also sent Hu Ban, Ma Zhong and other generals to accompany the army.

Yan Yan followed Hu Ban and Ma Zhong and reported: "Prime Minister, General Hu and Captain Ma have arrived. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, and said to Xu Shu: "The leader of the troops in Fuxian County is the rebel general Lei Tong, and the Ming general who originally attacked Yinping and captured Jiangyou is nowhere to be found. Liang suspects that the Ming army has other plans, so please be careful with Yuan Zhi! ”

"I will pay attention to this matter, but this reinforcement, the prime minister needs to be careful!"

Zhuge Liang didn't hear the deep meaning, nodded, turned over his horse, and walked away.

"Well, let's go!"

"Let's go!"

More than 10,000 troops went north, and the momentum was naturally not small, and there was no way to hide it from the people in the city. Two hours later, a burst of frightened birds flew in the mountains somewhere outside the city, and after flying up, they roared straight north.

In the city, Xu Shu was listening to the report of his subordinates: "Lord Yu, I haven't found any birds flying out of any place in the city. ”

"No?"

Xu Shu waved his subordinates back, full of puzzlement: Is it a mistake? Didn't the Ming army use flying birds to communicate the message? But that's what the message came back said, it shouldn't be!

Gongsun Du didn't know that the method of the interrogation had been leaked, but ...... It's only a matter of time before the news leaks, so even if you find out, you won't care.

After taking Hand, Gongsun Du did not leave immediately again, but rested on the spot at the suggestion of Xinbi.

The army rushed for half a month, and attacked Baishui and Hande one after another, which took a lot of energy, and the difficulty of Shu Road was not completely solved by a wheelbarrow, and it was necessary to wait for the follow-up grain and grass to arrive.

"It's been a long time since we've fought such a battle of poverty!" Gongsun Du said with emotion.

Huang Xu also said helplessly: "Compared with the carriage and the wheelbarrow, there is really a world of difference. ”

Xin Bi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, there is a wheelbarrow, otherwise it will be troublesome to transport, and the number of troops will be reduced again!" ”

Gongsun Du raised his eyebrows and said, "If this is not the case, I will wait for two years?" ”

Xin Bi choked and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are ashamed!" ”

Gongsun Du was uncomfortable now, waved his hand and said: "That's because you haven't heard a poem called Shu Dao Difficult, otherwise you would be the same." ”

"Is Shu difficult?"

Simbi said confusedly: "There is this one...... Poem? ”

Huang Xu was also dazed: "The narrative is shallow, I have never heard of it." ”

Gongsun Du realized that he had slipped his mouth, and said with embarrassment: "It may be a new poem, so it's normal that you haven't heard it." ”

Xin Bi felt that this might not be the case, but he didn't dare to expose it, but said, "I don't know why this poem is?" Your Majesty, can you speak? ”

"Nothing to do!"

Gongsun Du nodded, and then immediately laid out Li Bai's Shu Dao difficulties one by one.

After listening, Xin Bi praised: "This poem has been lofty, depicting the difficulties of Shu Road vividly, like traveling to the whole territory of Shu, this sincere masterpiece through the ages!" ”

Gongsun Du nodded and said, "This is okay, it will be a hundred generations!" ”

Later, after hearing about it, the historian wanted to compile it into the Gaozu Benji, and signed it by Gaozu, but Gongsun Du learned about it and refused: "This is not what I did, how can I usurp the efforts of others, no!" ”

The historian then wrote-

Sheng Wu for four years.

Gaozu drove the expedition in person, and Hande and Huang Xu, the governor of the Chinese army, and Xin Biyan, the head of the household department, said that "Shu Road is difficult", and then there are masterpieces.

Although there is no hint of text and ink saying that this poem was written by Gongsun Du, anyone who reads it will feel that it was written by him. There is only one person, in the five hundred and seventeenth year of Shengwu, a surname Li Mingbai, the word is too white, when he travels to Shu, this poem appears inexplicably in his mind, and he always feels as if it has been engraved in his bones. You must know that at this time, flying (airplane) and retreat (subway) has long become a habit, and ordinary people will feel this.

Not two days.

"Your Majesty, Chengdu Secret Report!"

Gongsun Du was not surprised at all, and said, "Take it and take a look." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gongsun Du regarded it, summoned the generals, and said: "Zhuge sent troops, there are variables, it is advisable to move troops quickly, in case of accidents!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers will give the order immediately."

The army moved again, and flew pigeons to send books to Fuxian and Langzhong.

Langzhong.

After this period of time, Chu Yan's words, Liu Ba and Ling Bao completely returned to their hearts and joined the Ming army.

Chu Yan then ordered and said to the two: "Your Majesty has an order, you can quickly attack Xichong and Nanchong, and go to Jiangzhou to threaten the flank of Chengdu." ”

Liu Ba said: "The last general is weak, but there is still a bit of face in Brazil, if the general believes in Ba, Ba is willing to enter the city single-handedly, and the two cities will come down." ”

Without waiting for his subordinates to refute, Chu Yan said: "I believe that the general is not a man of his word!" Even so, please ask the general to leave immediately and say that the second city will be surrendered as soon as possible, so that the casualties can be greatly reduced, and this is the best policy. If it can be achieved at that time, His Majesty will definitely be rewarded. ”

"With General Lao's trust, Ba will set off." Liu Ba immediately took the order and left.

Seeing Liu Ba's back disappear, Ling Bao's eyes were inexplicable, and he said, "The general is really not afraid that Liu Ba will never return?" ”

"Never to go back?"

Chu Yan said disdainfully: "Where can he go?" Do you think Chengdu can be kept now? Do you think the attack on Jiangzhou is really to threaten the flank of Chengdu? ”

"Uh...... Isn't it? Ling Bud was puzzled.

Chu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "In the southern states, in terms of the difficulty of attacking, Yizhou should be the first, why would Your Majesty move troops against them first, instead of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, which are easier?" ”

Ling Bud was puzzled, but Chu Yan didn't mean to elaborate further.

went back to the house to pack her luggage, but Ling Bud was suddenly startled, and her back couldn't help but be covered with cold sweat.

"If Yizhou can't be defended, Your Majesty ...... Liu Bei still has Jingzhou to retreat, but to retreat to Jingzhou, the only way to retreat is through Jiangzhou! It's not a threat to the flanks, it's a way out! ”

Chu Yan didn't care if Ling Bud would think of it, and his purpose was not in that. When the army was ready, Chu Yan and Ling Bao also immediately set off and went to the nearest Xichong.

Arriving at Xichong, the city gate was opened, and its guards and county commanders knelt at the city gate, holding the seal letter above their heads.

"General Qiqi, I'm waiting for the surrender!"

"You are just confused by Liu Bei, in order to resist the power of heaven, and now you are lost, but you can offset the merits. He was given the temporary authority of His Majesty, and ordered Er and others to continue to garrison Xichong and wait for the latest arrangements. ”

Chu Yan paused, and said: "If you do a good job, there will be no possibility of continuing to govern Xichong or even being promoted." ”

"Thank you, General!" The prefectural order and others are all overjoyed.

Chu Yan swept around, but didn't see Liu Ba, so she asked, "I don't know where General Liu is?" ”

"General Qiyu, General Liu ordered me to wait here for the general to lead the troops to take over the city, while General Liu continued to Nanchong."

"I see, General Liu really believes in people." Chu Yan suddenly smiled and praised.

Subsequently, Chu Yan sent 500 people to help defend the city, and drew 500 young men from the city to supplement it, and then continued south to Nanchong.

Nanchong was also persuaded by Liu Ba and surrendered!
