After Yan Yan led the reinforcements into Chengdu City, Gao Shun led the army to stay in Mianzhu City, as if he had cowered in Fucheng before.

What is different from the previous situation is that there is enough food in Mianzhu, enough for 3,000 soldiers to eat for half a year, and there is no need to worry about running out of food.

But even so, over time, the morale of the soldiers will eventually decline. However, Gao Shun had no way to take Chengdu City at this time, when Zhao Yun did not come before, his strength was almost the same as Li Yan's strength in Mianzhu City, he did not dare to attack Mianzhu City, and waited until Zhao Yun's handsome assault battalion appeared before attacking Mianzhu. Now that the number of troops in Chengdu is more than twice as strong, how can Gao Shun launch an offensive against Chengdu?

Seeing that Cao Jun did not move in Mianzhu City, Liu Zhang's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go, and he praised Yan Yanzi.

After Yan Yan gained Liu Zhang's further trust, he also asked Liu Zhang for his life, hoping to let Zhang Ren transfer another 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Sword Pavilion Pass.

Yan Yan knew very well that although his strength was twice as strong as the other party, but the combat strength was far behind, it was more than enough to defend the city of Chengdu, but it was impossible to annihilate the Cao army, both sides were immovable, and if the battle situation continued to develop like this, it could only become a confrontation between the two armies. Now Cao Jun lives in Mianzhu, which is not as embarrassing as he was in Fucheng before, and the two sides can confront each other for several months. This made Yan Yan a little worried, he led his troops to aid Chengdu, and Ba Jun's troops were not much left. In case there is an army on the Jingzhou side to attack, the southeast 'gate' of Yizhou will be wide open.

Therefore, Yan Yan was not satisfied with defending the city, but wanted to annihilate Cao's army, but he obviously couldn't do this on his own, so he proposed to Liu Zhang to let Zhang Ren lead a small number of soldiers and horses back to help. With the danger of the Sword Pavilion Pass, even if there are 5,000 fewer people, it is definitely not something that the Cao army can break through.

And there are more than 5,000 people on the Chengdu side, which can definitely annihilate the Cao army, and Zhang Ren's reinforcements can also detour to Zitong to reach the rear of Mianzhu like Leng Bud before, so that they can form a front and rear attack on Mianzhu, and they will be able to annihilate the Cao army in Mianzhu City in one fell swoop, and the head of Gao Shun, the general of Xiaoqi.

Originally, Yan Yan thought that Liu Zhang would agree after hearing his proposal, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to fall into deep thought.

Liu Zhang didn't want to have a stiff relationship with Cao Cao, you must know that he had already had the idea of surrendering, and now that the situation is improving, Liu Zhang's fear of Cao Jun has not subsided much. Liu Zhang planned to send an envoy to Xuchang to give Cao Cao a good deal after repelling the Cao army this time, and even presented a large amount of gold and silver treasures or something, just begging the Cao army not to press the border. Gao Shun is the general of Cao Ying, and he is also Cao's sister-in-law, if he is killed by the Yizhou army, Cao Cao's will be furious, and he may come to Yizhou with the strength of the country. In the face of Cao's 'Cao' army of the whole country, how can Yizhou have the power to resist?

Liu Zhang informed Yan Yan of his concerns, and Yan Yan didn't think much about it, and said: "Since the lord is worried that killing Gao Shun will cause Cao 'Cao' to retaliate, then I will capture him alive." ”

Liu Zhang still didn't say a word, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Isn't it okay to confront each other like this?" When Cao's army can't be consumed, he will naturally retreat, so why bother. ”

"Lord, there is a lot of grain in Mianzhu City, once there is a confrontation, it will be a few months." Yan Yan knelt down and asked, "The so-called long nights and dreams, in a few months, who knows what will happen?" ”

Seeing an old general kneeling in front of him, Liu Zhang really couldn't bear it, and said: "In this case, I will send an order to let Zhang Ren lead the army to help, but General Yan must remember not to harm the 'life' of Cao General Gao Shun." ”

----------------------------------------------------------------

On the same day that Liu Zhang ordered Yan Yan to be guarded in Chengdu, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe set out from Chengdu, entered the Yangtze River from Tuojiang, and went to Jianye along the Yangtze River.

"In the family of Fa Zheng in Xia Nai Yizhou, the servant Falin is also, and I have seen Wu Hou." After the middle-aged man arrived in Jianye, he went directly to visit Wuhou Sun Jian as an envoy from Yizhou.

"What's the matter, isn't Yizhou invincible to the Cao army's offensive and is here to ask for help?" Sun Jian naturally heard about Cao's attack on Shu, and he thought that the person in front of him was ordered to come to Jiangdong for help.

Zhuge Liang, who was beside Sun Jian, heard Fa Lin's words, and a trace of strange 'color' flashed in his eyes. Although the other party just said a word of greeting, judging from his tone and expression, Zhuge Liang could vaguely guess the purpose of the person in front of him to come to Jiangdong.

After Sun Jian and Cao 'Cao' carved up Jingzhou, Zhou Yu wanted to personally lead the army to garrison the Jiangxia line, so Zhuge Liang was left by Sun Jian's side and sent as a strategist. Although Zhuge Liang did not sincerely assist Sun Jian, as long as Liu Bei was held in the palm of Jiangdong's hand, he was not afraid of Zhuge Liang getting in the way.

Liu Bei is now arranged by Sun Jian to be the Taishou in Wucheng, Wucheng is the place where Sun Jian made his fortune, and Sun Jian was originally named Wucheng Hou. Therefore, no matter how good Liu Bei is at being able to speak well and 'confuse' people's hearts, Sun Jian's power in Wucheng is still not something he can shake, and Liu Bei is surrounded by Zhou Yu'an's cronies, so he naturally has no development in Wucheng.

At first, Sun Jian saw that Liu Bei was idle, and planned to let him go to Shanyue to crusade, but after he 'revealed' this intention to Zhou Yu, he was rejected by Zhou Yu. First, Liu Bei cut down Shanyue, if he defeated the meritorious service, it would be difficult to reward him with his identity, and if the reward was light, it would inevitably be suspected that the reward and punishment would be unknown, and if the reward was heavy, it might give the other party an opportunity to expand his strength. Second, if Liu Bei is unfortunately defeated and dies, then Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others will have no constraints, and when the time comes, it will be a small matter to leave, and a big thing to change. Therefore, under the persuasion of Zhou Yu, Sun Jian also dispelled his thoughts, and let Liu Bei An'an stay in Wucheng.
