"Lord, the Sword Pavilion is over, woo ......, most of the brothers died in battle, and our army was completely wiped out."

The main force of the Yizhou army was wiped out in the Sword Pavilion, and only less than 100 diehards of the Yizhou army escaped and brought the news of the fiasco to Chengdu.

"What about my son, your young master?" After all, the relationship between father and son is deep, and Liu Zhang's main concern is not the life or death of the hundreds of thousands of Yizhou soldiers in the Sword Pavilion, but to inquire about the safety of his son first.

"Young master, young master...... "The defeated army of Yizhou cried: "The young master also died in his duties, I heard that he was killed by Lu Bu, the righteous son of Dong Thief." Before the words fell, Liu Zhang had already fainted on his back, "Childe, childe, find Lang Zhong quickly." Yizhou Wenwu hurriedly rescued Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang didn't wake up, Liu Yan suddenly grunted in his throat, opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on his back.

finally found Lang Zhong, and Lang Zhong unanimously concluded that Liu Yan and Liu Zhang were angry and angry, and their qi was blocked, and they needed to live well and not move their breath anymore, otherwise Liu Zhang might be better, but Liu Yan, who is already in his seventies, is difficult to say. The results came out, Yizhou all the civil and military were dumbfounded, now the enemy is almost under the city, it is the time when people are needed to command the overall situation, but the two generations of state pastors are unconscious, if the enemy comes, what should it be?

Although they were anxious, the Yizhou ministers with Dong He, Zheng Du and Fei Guan still asked Liu Yan and Liu Zhang and his son to be carried to the back hall to rest, and guarded by the side of the father and son, but in the middle of the night, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang were still unconscious, but the urgent documents were sent one after another, first the news of Liu Mao and Zhang Song's surrender; Then the sudden appearance of Dong Zhuojun has set off from Fucheng again after resting and is approaching Mianzhu; This was followed by an urgent report from Huo Jun, the general of Yong'an, an important town in the southeast of Yizhou, reporting that Liu Biao in Jingzhou had an abnormal army movement, suspecting that Liu Biao might take advantage of the fire to rob, and asked for additional troops to be sent to Yong'an, just in case.

After reading the report, Fei Guan and the others wanted to cry without tears, and said in their hearts that we have this little bit of people left, whether we can hold Chengdu is still one thing, go up there and find reinforcements for you? At this moment, Zheng Du suddenly shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, where did Zhang Taishou go?" Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, Zhang Song's brother Guanghan Taishou Zhang Su disappeared.

"Zhang Su dog thief!" Dong He scolded angrily: "His brother is greedy for life and afraid of death, he surrendered to Xianguan, he also escaped from the battle, he must have surrendered to Dong Thief!" Dong He took the lead in scolding, and everyone in Yizhou scolded together, and they all vented their anger on the Zhang brothers.

"Slow down, gentlemen." Fei Guan persuaded everyone and waved his hand: "Zhang Song did betray the lord, but Zhang Su I know that he is loyal to the lord, and he is not the kind of person who escapes. Before Fei Guan finished speaking, someone outside the house shouted, "Oh no, Zhang Taishou committed suicide by throwing himself into the water!" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly rushed out of the house, but it was too late, and Zhang Su, who was fished up by the servant, had already turned into a cold corpse.

"Uncle Yuan, I'm sorry for you." Dong He threw himself on Zhang Su's corpse and cried, "I misunderstood you, you are a real loyal minister." Dong He cried to death, everyone wept, admired Zhang Su's loyalty, and at the same time cried even more sadly when they thought of the fate they were about to face.

Zheng Du cried with everyone, and saw that everyone was depressed, knowing that they were all desperate, so he puffed up and said: "You monarchs should not be sad anymore, now the lord and the prince are unconscious, and the war is imminent, we can no longer cry as women, we should be like Zhang Taishou, loyal to the Lord, never betrayed." ”

"So what are we going to do?" Dong He wept and said: "The main force of the Yizhou army has been wiped out, and the only remaining ones are far away, even if they temporarily arm the people, it is the opponent of the battle-hardened Dong thief army?" Everyone also had this question, and almost all of them were not confident that they could stop Dong Zhuo.

"I have a plan, maybe I can break the thief." Zheng Du said in a deep voice: "It depends on whether you dare to use it." ”

"What is your plan, sir?" Fei Guan hurriedly asked, Fei Guan is Liu Zhang's brother-in-law, and others may be able to save their lives and glory and wealth by surrendering, but he Fei Guan is completely hopeless.

"Dong thieves went south, and the grain and grass support were all supplied from Chang'an, and the roads were inconvenient and difficult to transport." Zheng Du said eloquently: "And the three places of Ba County, Guanghan and Shu County in Yizhou, plus Qianwei have a total population of more than 2.5 million, and the grain and grass that will be consumed every day are incalculable, which Dong Zhuojun absolutely cannot afford to supply. ”

"Sir, you mean, burn out the grain, throw the burden of the population to the Dong thief, and buy us time?" Fei Guan asked in a deep voice, and seeing Zheng Du nodding, Fei Guan asked again: "Although this strategy is feasible, it only suffers the people of Shuzhong, and even if we delay these times, it is not enough for the troops that can be organized in the Yong'an area to counterattack?" ”

"Don't go to Yong'an." Zheng Du said in a deep voice: "Go to the nine counties of Nanzhong, the king of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Xu, has 100,000 barbarian soldiers under his command, plus our remaining army, the counteroffensive force should be enough, the Nanban people have coveted Nanzhong for a long time, as long as we promise to seal Nanzhong and Nanban after the war, Meng Shu will definitely agree." And there is another point, Dong Thief's logistics will definitely not be able to support the huge population of Yizhou, the people of Yizhou will not be able to survive, and they will continue to resist, so that Dong Thief will take care of one thing and lose the other, and the powerful military will definitely be consumed in suppressing the people's uprising. ”

After Zheng Du finished speaking, all the civil and military forces in Yizhou bowed their heads and remained silent, thinking about the feasibility of this strategy, and then Wang Lei asked: "Sir, there was a rumor the day before yesterday that the Southern Barbarians colluded with Jia Long to seize Yizhou, and the words are still in their ears, do they believe it?" ”

"Wang Zhen, haven't you seen it yet?" Zheng Du paused and said: "The lord fell for Dong Thief's discordant plan, and the removal of Lao Cheng and the scheming General Jia led to the defeat of our army, and those rumors, needless to say, are also false." ”

"Sir has a point." In fact, Wang Lei was already so suspicious, but he just made it clear first, in order to comfort the other panicked Yizhou civil and military forces, Wang Lei nodded and said: "Then the villain suggests, quickly send someone to find the old general Jia who took the Wudang Flying Army away, good words and persuasion, he has a very high prestige among the Southern Barbarians, and with him in his appearance, things are much easier to do." Moreover, the veteran general is brave and strategic, and with him strategizing, our hope of victory in the counteroffensive is greater. ”

Wang Lei and Zheng Du both turned their eyes to Fei Guan, and now Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are unconscious, only Liu Yan's family can make a decision, but Fei Guan bowed his head and was silent, as if he did not dare to make a decision. Zheng Du urged: "Brother Wen Xiu, now is not the time to hesitate, it will be too late, in the future, the lord will blame, and I will bear it with you." ”

Fei Guan woke up like a dream, shook his head and said: "No, I'm not afraid to take responsibility, I'm just thinking about what Yongan Huo Jun and the others should do after we withdraw to Nanzhong?" They still face the threat of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. ”

Wang Lei and Zheng Du patted their heads, shook their heads and said: "I'm ashamed, or Wen Xiu has thought it through, how did we forget the 30,000 soldiers of Yong'an?" "The Yongan garrison, like Jia Long's Wudang Flying Army, is independently organized and cannot be mobilized unless it is absolutely necessary, so Liu Yan did not pull this army into the battlefield before.

Zheng Du asked again: "Since Brother Wen Xiu has already considered it, what is the best plan?" Is it for them to abandon Yong'an and go with us to Nanzhong? Or let them stay put? ”

"From the point of view, Liu Biao of Jingzhou peeped at Yong'an, but he was worried that after Dong Thief occupied Yizhou, he would share the Yangtze River with him and pose a threat to him." Fei Guan Zhengse said: "I decided to send a person to negotiate with Liu Biao, explaining that Yizhou and Jingzhou are very cold, as long as he is willing to send troops to help us resist Dong thief, we will give Yong'an to Jingzhou, so that Liu Biao does not have to worry about the threat of our army going down the river to smash Jingzhou's henchmen, so that Liu Biao can agree, and then Nanzhong and Yong'an and Shangyong will go hand in hand, and they will not worry about not being able to recover Yizhou." ”

"Clever plan." Zheng Du volunteered: "Zheng Du is not talented, he is willing to be the envoy of Yizhou to persuade Liu Biao to rescue Yizhou." ”

Wang Lei didn't agree with Fei Guan's idea, but frowned and said: "In this way, Nanzhong and Yong'an will be ceded to others, and the people of Yizhou will also fall into the boundless sea of suffering, even if we win, what will be left?" ”

Fei Guan sighed: "If we lose Yizhou, we will have nothing." ”

At the moment, when Liu Yan and Liu Zhang were unconscious, Fei Guan issued a series of orders on behalf of Liu Yan, the first of which was to order Ba County, Guanghan, Shu County and Qianwei, where the population of Yizhou was most concentrated, to burn the grain in official warehouses and private warehouses, leaving only ten days of food for the people of Yizhou, and gathering elite soldiers from all over the country to take refuge in Nanzhong together; The second is to send Zheng Du as an envoy to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biao for help, and the third is to send people around to find Jia Long, who has disappeared without a trace, hoping that he can go out of the mountain three times......

Fei Guan, Zheng Du and Wang Lei's idea that the three stinkers came up with can make the Yizhou Army Salted Fish turn over? What will be the consequences of Kang Peng's burden of more than two million people in Yizhou? See the next chapter.
