Chapter 277: Garrison of the city

(Last night, because of a system failure, it caused 276 chapters to be brushed twice in a row, which delayed everyone's reading, and the magic is deeply apologetic, and now it has been revised back.) )

Being able to quickly capture the city, Liu Cong and the others were naturally overjoyed. While sending people to maintain law and order in the city and pacify the people, he also prepared troops and horses to prepare for an attack on Chengdu.

However, there is a more important thing for Liu Cong than these, which is to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender. He led the army to wake up all the way from Jia Mengdu, and was persuaded by Fa Zheng and Zhang Song to surrender. Liu Zhang chose Luocheng as the blocking base and Zhang Ren as the blocking general.

Judging from these battles over time, Zhang Ren is worthy of being the general of Shuzhong. Liu Cong was able to break through the city so quickly, in addition to the advantage of troops, it was two coincidences, Wei Yan entered from the west gate, Dong Yun entered from the east gate, completely disrupting the deployment of such a person, if Liu Gui, Liu Xun and others gave a little force, it would not be like this.

But none of this can hide Zhang Ren's brilliance. It can be said that although defeated, it is still glorious! Zhang Ren persevered to the end, and his whole person was stained with the blood of the enemy. Yu Ban relied on the number of people to subdue Zhang Ren.

Such a loyal and brave general, if he can recruit his command, it can be described as a tiger with wings. So as soon as he settled down, Liu Cong personally went to the Luocheng Prison, and Fa Zheng was on the side to help lobby. At this time, Zhang Ren was not lonely, Ling Bao who was captured before, Liu Gui, who was later captured by Wei Yan, and some other civil officials.

Without waiting for Liu Cong to speak, Zhang Ren scolded when he saw Liu Cong: "Dog thief, my father-in-law has taken you with you, please come and help my father-in-law defend against Zhang Lu and Cao Cao." I didn't expect you to be treacherous, turn back, despicable, and have no ......."

The jailer who listened directly was very old, and he was ready to come forward to teach Zhang Ren a lesson, but he was organized by Liu Cong. Liu Cong was not annoyed, smiled and took a few steps forward and said: "General Zhang, since ancient times, there have been virtuous people living in the world. Cong Yizheng Nanjun Supreme resisted Cao Cao for your lord for a year, Baishui and Jiameng were not fighting, and Yizhou was safe and sound. Now Cao Cao is angry with me and wants to raise troops to attack Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang, the head of your family, is frozen, but your head of the house is pushing back and ...... Cong wanted to lead his troops back to Jingzhou, but your lord instructed Yang Huai and Gao Pei to attack from behind...... Who is treacherous? ”

"Yes, General Zhang, good birds choose trees, and loyal ministers choose their masters. General Zhengnan is the pillar of today's Han Dynasty, it is rare to find a Ming Jun, why should General Zhang ......"

"Shut up, Fa Zheng, you traitor seeking glory!"

Liu Cong and Fa Zheng took turns brainwashing Zhang Ren, but Zhang Ren did not enter the oil and salt, and scolded the two of them for being incomplete. As a last resort, Liu Cong had to give up temporarily, and when Zhao Yun came back from Nanzhong, perhaps the special relationship between Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren, coupled with Zhao Yun's personal experience, was more convincing.

But the other civil officials, as soon as the Fazheng arrived, they were obedient. After all, they had already seen through Liu Zhang, and knew that Liu Zhang was definitely not Liu Cong's opponent, and now they had taken the city at great speed, and Chengdu was in danger.

Ling Bao had already been tortured by Liao Hua very badly in Liu Cong's army, Liu Cong came to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't insist much, after all, the city has been lost, and the general trend is coming. It was Liu Gui who became Wei Yan's prisoner in his sleep. This scumbag guy is very kind, and the scholar Zhang Ren insults Liu Cong and Fa Zheng. But he was not Zhang Ren, so Liu Cong was not polite, and was immediately pulled out and cut!

Liu Cong is also killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, if a dog and a cat all learn from Zhang Ren, then where is his prestige Liu Cong. Zhang Ren is Liu Cong's favorite general, so he can naturally be forgiven, and the others ......

It is said that after Liu Xun fled back to Chengdu, he cried to Liu Zhang about how powerful Liu Cong's army was. At first, Liu Zhang and the ministers didn't believe it, and thought that Liu Xun was timid and afraid of death. As a result, in less than two hours, deserters returned to Chengdu one after another. By night, it had been confirmed that the city had been lost.

At this time, Liu Zhang panicked, he was not a person with great talent, Huang Quan wanted him to admonish, and Zhang Lu was connected to the north, but Zhang Lu sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight. As a last resort, the general Zhang Ren was sent to Ruocheng to resist. Originally, it was expected that Zhang Ren would refuse to defend the city and let Liu Cong return in vain. I didn't expect Liu Cong to be able to break through the city so quickly, how can it be good.

Liu Zhang then convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs overnight to discuss. A group of generals attacked Liu Cong and recaptured the city. But Liu Zhang is also worried about his powerlessness. A group of Wen Cheng were playing their own bamboo shoots in private, and they didn't know how long this Liu Zhang could last, whether they would have to send someone to contact Liu Cong tomorrow.

So there is everything in the lobby, and everyone who has a serious idea. In desperation, Liu Zhang thought of Huang Quan again. Huang Quan was also worried that Liu Zhang didn't trust him at the moment, because Liu Zhang listened to his plan before, and as a result, Zhang Ren failed to defend Luocheng......

"Gongheng, do you have a way?" At this time, Liu Zhang only knew the importance of strategists, but unfortunately Fa Zheng and Zhang Song both surrendered to Liu Cong.

Huang Quan looked at Liu Zhang, and then at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he also couldn't make up his mind, whether to help Liu Zhang, if it was okay, if it was white, everyone else might be safe and obedient to Liu Cong, and he might be angered by Liu Zhang, be killed before breaking the city, and even affect his family.

"Gongheng, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Liu Zhang soon realized the problem, and the lively appearance of these civil officials made Liu Zhang's heart cold.

"My lord, although Liu Cong and his army have broken through the city, the foundation of my Yizhou is still there. As long as it is properly deployed, Liu Cong can still be expelled. ”

"Oh, are you going to hear it?"

"My lord, there are no longer a few people who intend to benefit the state now. As long as the lord held on to Chengdu, the other princes would not allow Liu Cong to occupy Yizhou.

Regarding the insistence, the lord can recruit Yan Yan of Ba County to lead the troops overnight to attack Liu Cong from the flank, and Quan is willing to lead the army to reject Liu Cong on behalf of the lord.

At the same time, the lord can send someone to Hanzhong Zhang Lu is strict and powerful, and Liu Cong will not let Hanzhong go if he gets Yizhou. Zhang Luruo still refused to support. The lord can send someone to contact Ma Chao. Cao Cao's expedition to the customs was in the middle of the previous time. Ma Chao and Han Sui suffered heavy losses. Two weeks barren and difficult to replenish quickly! The lord can inform Liu Cong's ambitions, if Liu Cong is allowed to get Yizhou Bingding to send troops to capture Liangzhou. In this way, Ma Chao and the others were undefeated and were on duty in Cao Cao, and they would definitely be destroyed by Liu Cong......

The lord can also send someone to Xudu to explain the situation to Cao Yu, so that Cao Cao can either step up the attack on Jingzhou, or send troops to capture Hanzhong to put pressure on Liu Cong's family and force Liu Cong to retreat.

For Zhang Lu and Ma Chao, the lord can promise his land and city. For Cao Cao, the lord can pretend to be obedient, so that the princes will not let Liu Cong attack Yizhou......"

"It's a great plan!" Liu Zhang nodded again and again after listening. Compared with other people's care, he can be regarded as a real loyal minister.

So Liu Zhang sent people to set off overnight, all the way to Ba County to recruit Yan Yan, and at the same time asked for help from other counties in Yizhou. All the way to Hanzhong, all the way to Kansai to contact Ma Chao. Prepare for Huang Quan to lead his troops to resist Liu Cong's attack.

And Liu Cong also temporarily stopped the pace of attack in Luocheng. Fa Zheng strongly persuaded Liu Cong to stabilize the city first and recruit troops here. Liu Cong thought about it, and lost nearly 10,000 people in the attack on the city, plus the loss of Wei Yan who was ambushed by Ling Bao and others before, it had exceeded 15,000 people. A third of the 50,000 people who set out from Jiameng have already gone. Chengdu is stronger than Yucheng, and it has a deeper hinterland, which is easy to be attacked from behind by the security forces of other counties.

Therefore, Liu Cong's current task is to train the thousands of Yizhou soldiers who surrendered from Yucheng, and then enrich them to various departments. On the other hand, it is to send troops to garrison the line from Luocheng to Brazil and Jiameng, and keep the supply line from Jingzhou to Luocheng unblocked.

"Lord, there is a report from Malay, Ba County is too guarded by Yan Yan to start from Jiangzhou, and he wants to contract with Chengdu Huangquan to build a total of Yucheng!"

"Lord, although Huang Quan is not as brave as Zhang Ren, he is resourceful and should not be underestimated!"

Wei Yan, Fa Zheng and others have raised their concerns.

Liu Cong also expected this situation, and knew that Yan Yan was strongly opposed to Liu Cong's entry into Shu at the beginning, and now although he has captured Yucheng, Liu Cong has less than 40,000 soldiers in his hands. Liu Zhang must take advantage of Liu Cong's unstable foothold to recapture the city.

"It's time...... Liu Cong muttered to himself, he was also worried about Cao Cao and Sun Quan's sneak attack, and he was also afraid that Liu Zhang would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to bring more soldiers into Shu. Unexpectedly, after capturing this shallow fortress, Liu Zhang became stronger. At the moment, it is unlikely that this point of troops will be captured.

After some discussion with Fa Zheng, Pang Tong and others, Liu Cong also sent a messenger to Jingzhou overnight, with Zhuge Liang as the main general, together with Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Jiang Qin, he led the water and land infantry of the Jiangling battalion along the river to prepare to attack Badong, and then seize Jiangzhou to contain Yan Yan. Led Li Yan to raise grain and grass casually. Huang Zu, the governor of Xinxiang, moved to Nanjun Taishou, and Bo Liuba, the lord of the general's mansion, moved to Duliang Taishou, and Jiang Wan accompanied the army.

Liu Cong made this arrangement, not only did not want to affect the housing in Jingzhou, but also began to plan for the next successful attack on Yizhou.

If the general trend is today, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are Liu Cong's biggest enemies, so Xiangyang is still the front line after all, and after winning the Yizhou meeting, Liu Cong will definitely return to Xiangyang to sit in town. So the next matter of governing Yizhou, Liu Cong plans to hand it over to Zhuge Liang. Li Yan and Jiang Wan and others.

In terms of attacking the city and plundering the land, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Jiang Qin, Li Yan, and Zhuge Liang were the commanders, plus Jiang Wan assisted from the side, this team should be regarded as both civil and military. Liu Cong is not worried about their disadvantage. As long as Zhuge Liang enters Yizhou, Yan Yan will definitely be alert, so that the pressure on Yucheng will be less.

Of course, in terms of the navy, Jiang Qin is definitely inferior to Gan Ning, and Huang Zhong is not as good as Liu Pan in terms of foot riding. But considering Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Liu Cong still didn't dare to move. Only by protecting and holding enough pressure will Sun Quan not fight Jingzhou's idea. In addition, in the name of the alliance, Sun Quan wanted to attack Cao Cao's territory if he wanted to march, which dragged Cao Cao and left him with no time to take care of Jingzhou.

Of course, the most urgent thing at the moment is the defense of the city and the response of the county of Brazil. Dong Yun has completely integrated himself into Liu Cong's subordinates. The capture of the city is even more miraculous. Liu Cong was still worried that Dong He would repeat, so he asked Dong Yun and Fa Zheng for their opinions. Dong Yun proposed to let Fa Zheng or Pang Tong directly replace his father as the Taishou of Brazil County. Fa Zhengze hinted that Liu Cong wanted to employ people without suspicion.

In the end, at Dong Yun's insistence, Liu Cong sent Yu Ban to Brazil to recruit troops, which could be regarded as stabilizing Dong He.
