Chapter 3 His Highness stirs up troops and stabilizes the hearts of the army

There was silence in the court, and the ministers were not stupid, no one dared to express their opinions on this sensitive matter, Liu Yaofu was under the court, quietly waiting for Liu Chan's answer, there were already beads of sweat on his forehead, he didn't know what kind of will Liu Chan would give next, so he could only wait quietly like this, whether it was life or death, success or failure was mastered by others, this kind of taste was really uncomfortable, and he thought in his heart that he would never want to live such a life again.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally Liu Chan's mellow voice sounded in the court.

"Liu Yao, the king of Anding County, obeys the order!"

"Erchen is here!" Liu Yao hurriedly replied.

Liu Chan then said word by word: "I will add you as the vanguard, and lead 3,000 soldiers and horses from General Wei to guard Fucheng Pass!" ”

Liu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and replied patiently excitedly: "The son of the minister has the order!" ”

Liu Chan nodded, and asked earnestly: "What else do you want, just put it forward!" ”

Lang Zhongling, who was standing in the court, saw this, and hurriedly glanced at Liu Yao, Liu Yao suddenly understood, gave Zhang Zun a look back, and then said to Liu Chan:

"Lang Zhong ordered Zhang Zun, dancing with one hand, eight snakes, spears, tigers and tigers, and the sons saw that he was no less brave than the former Huanhou Zhang Fei, and the sons wanted him to be the deputy general and fight with the sons, hoping that the father would be favorable."

Liu Chan turned his head to look at Zhang Zun, Zhang Zun immediately knelt down and said, "Listen to Your Majesty's arrangement!" ”

"I'm ready!"

"The minister (son) thanked Your Majesty!" Liu Yao replied in unison with Zhang Zun, and then turned around and walked out of the court.

At this time, Liu Yao stood at the juncture of Fucheng, looking at the black and oppressive Wei army camp outside the city, the excitement and excitement in his heart that had just had the military power had long been thrown out of the clouds, the Wei army outside the city was more than ten times that of him, and the three thousand soldiers brought out of Chengdu City were now less than two thousand, he didn't know how long he could hold out, he thought that leaving Chengdu City might have a turnaround, but now it seems that he is afraid that he will become a prisoner of the Wei army one step ahead of Liu Chan.

After a while, Zhang Zun tidied up his city defenses and came to Liu Yao's side, at this moment Zhang Zun was also covered in blood, I don't know how many Wei soldiers he cut, but he was not injured, seeing the wounds on Liu Yao's body that were still oozing blood, Zhang Zun asked with concern: "Your Highness, are you injured?" ”

Liu Yao waved his hand and replied, "It's all skin injuries that don't get in the way." ”

Zhang Zun blamed himself a little, if it wasn't for his unfavorable defense during the day, which caused the Wei army to climb the city, how could Liu Yao need to go into battle in person, not to mention being injured, he almost lost his life, if it wasn't for the timely arrival of the captain Chen She, Liu Yao was afraid that he would die under the Wei saber.

Seeing Liu Yao's somewhat pale face, Zhang Zun felt even more guilty, and persuaded again: "Your Highness, you better go down and rest, I can do it here." ”

Liu Yao turned around and did not answer Zhang Zun's words, but asked Zhang Zun: "I asked Your Majesty to let you come with me to guard this Fucheng Pass, originally I wanted you to have a chance to make meritorious contributions to the battlefield and kill the enemy, but now in this situation, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to go back, will you regret it later?" ”

Zhang Zun shook his head and replied: "The eldest husband stands in the world, how can there be any reason to regret it, if it weren't for the identity of my cousin, I didn't dare to lead the army, and this vanguard position would not be His Highness." ”

Liu Yao nodded with satisfaction at the moment, now that his morale is low, if even Zhang Zun loses the determination to fight, then it will really be irreparable, patted Zhang Zun's shoulder, and ordered: "Go and gather the remaining soldiers, I want to lecture." ”

Not long after, the city was full of dense Han soldiers, Liu Yao stood on the stone platform temporarily erected at the head of the city, and glanced at these soldiers.

The eyes of each soldier were full of puzzlement, I don't know what this Royal Highness wants to say, from the day he became Liu Yao's soldiers and horses, Liu Yao ate and lived with them, without any special treatment, during the day when the Wei army killed the city, this Royal Highness took the lead in fighting with the Wei army, and after a few days of running-in, they found that this prince was different from other clans, there was no such feeling of being high, and there was no need for any restraint in front of him, and gradually these soldiers recognized Liu Yao from their hearts.

Seeing these soldiers around him, maybe once the Fucheng Pass is broken, none of them will survive, Liu Yao's mood is extremely heavy, now he is the one who controls the lives of others, he slowed down, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, do you want to go home?" Do you want to see your wife and children? Do you want to live? ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Although he didn't know what Liu Yao was asking for, the soldier still replied.

"Do you see the Wei army outside the city? They're calling! If you want to kill us, grow grain and build a house on our land, and rob our little lady in the family, do you say, can you be willing to be a man? Liu Yao suddenly asked in a loud voice.

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"What if you don't want to?" Liu Yao asked again.

"Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

Liu Yao showed a satisfied smile at the moment, when the interests of these low-level people are involved, they will protect their things like crazy.

The morale that was originally low became high after Liu Yao's reprimand, and the eyes of the soldiers looking at the Wei army camp outside the city changed from fear to anger.

But at this time, Liu Yao still didn't feel much optimism, under the crushing of absolute strength, any conspiracy and morale were useless, if they wanted to survive, they had to escape, but they had to find a way to escape, and where should they flee?

It was night, there was still silence on the Fucheng Pass, there was no sound, and the Wei army camp outside the Fucheng Pass was lit with candles, and the camp was extremely rigorous, the Chinese army's tent was located in the middle of the camp, and the two barracks on the left and right were each other's horns, forming a very tight defense.

A team of Wei soldiers staggered patrol in the camp from time to time, and there are soldiers who are rushing to make a simple siege ladder overnight, preparing for the continued attack on Fucheng Pass tomorrow, since they entered the hinterland of the Shu army from the Yinping Trail, all the way to the big and small passes are either conquered in an instant or surrendered to the wind, but in this last Fucheng Pass has taken a little heels.

The 30,000 troops of the Wei army were ten times the number of the defenders of Fucheng Pass, and since the Wei army launched an attack on the pass, although it did not capture Fucheng Pass for three consecutive days, the Wei army still had high morale and had no intention of retreating.

Although the defenders of Fucheng Pass are stubborn, the demise of Shu Han has become a foregone conclusion, seeing that the first major achievement of destroying Shu is none other than them, everyone can get a lot of rewards when they go back in the future, how can they not be excited.
