There were also some large families who wanted to take the opportunity to hoard food and make a fortune after the war, but they were swept away by Jiang Qin, Action Ao Runan and others. It also caused a wave of protests. However, the two strictly restrain their subordinates, as long as they don't go too far, they basically can't fight back, and they don't scold back. They also counted the amount of grain purchased by each li, each pavilion, and each household. Fortunately, Liu Cong will have an explanation when he wants to return it to the people in the future.

At the same time, notices were posted everywhere, and when General Zhengnan captured Chengdu, he could redeem the grain he sold at the original price. If there is really difficulty or any accident, you can take refuge in the city. When this announcement came out, it was a little quieter. However, there are a lot of sighs from the people around them, and the general they heard about before is not like this.

After three days, it is inevitable to disturb the people! The villages around Chengdu can be described as empty, although there are no fatalities, but they are also jumping, and their arms can't reach their thighs after all. But most of them still hate Liu Cong. It would be nice if the summer grain could be picked up, but if there was some accident......

The common people didn't dare to think about it, after all, Liu Cong had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, and they didn't dare to make trouble. It's just that they never expected that the forced grain collection of Liu Cong's army was just the beginning. The back is the real big show, presumably Liu Cong's forced purchase, and the back is what they can't afford.

On a mountain road somewhere in Nanzhong, Fei Guan hurriedly beckoned scouts to come and inquire. These days, day and night, Fei Guan finally did not fall behind, he is very concerned about the current situation in Chengdu.

"General Yufei, one hundred and eighty miles ahead is Chengdu."

"Well, pass the order to go down, speed up the march, and our army must enter Chengdu before dark."

"General, our army has been marching rapidly for five or six days in a row, and many of the officers and men in the army are exhausted, and I am afraid that a large number of people will fall again if this continues. Do you want everyone to rest for a day before leaving? Fei Guan's subordinates were a little bold, and immediately complained.

"No, Chengdu is in danger, and if we arrive in Chengdu as soon as possible, we can fully devote ourselves to the battle to defend the city. In addition, we travel lightly, and there is not much grain and grass left. Can't stop here! Tell the soldiers that as long as we stick to Chengdu, the lord will not treat us badly! Fei Guan was also helpless, seeing that the more than 15,000 soldiers he brought with him when he went out fought with Meng Huo, plus the team that fell behind on the road, there are now less than 10,000 people left. But there are fewer defenders in Chengdu, and the arrival of these 10,000 people in Chengdu one day earlier is one more hope for victory.

The subordinate soldiers looked at Fei Guan with a serious face, so they had to give up. Fortunately, Chengdu is not far from here, and it should be almost there in two days, and you have to sleep well anyway when you enter the city. Most of the soldiers could only hope that after arriving in Chengdu, Fei Guan would be able to give them a complete relaxation. It's just that they didn't expect that two days later, Chengdu saw it, but they also saw tens of thousands of enemy troops, surrounding Chengdu to the ground.

Fei Guan didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent scouts to Simen detectives, and at the same time prepared to prepare information to the city. In this case, you can only enter the city at night, otherwise you will be discovered by the enemy, and if you suddenly suffer heavy casualties, if the city gate cannot be closed in time, the enemy army will follow into the city, it will be dangerous.

"Report to the general that the south gate was blocked by a large number of stones by the enemy. I'm afraid it won't be able to open for the time being! ”

"Report to the general that the west gate was blocked by the enemy with a large number of stones. I'm afraid it won't be able to open for the time being! ”

“……”

"What? Have you contacted the city? The four gates were blocked, and Fei Guan never dreamed that the enemy army not only arrived in Chengdu early, but also had already done a lot of homework, and it was to wait for his arrival.

The scout shook his head helplessly, the enemy army also sent countless scouts, and as soon as they wanted to approach, a large number of enemy troops immediately surrounded them.

This time Fei Guan is embarrassed, I have worked hard to come over, Chengdu can't enter, and now the whole army is afraid that it will collapse!

"General, the enemy army seems to have discovered the location of our unit and is mobilizing sergeants to march towards our army."

"Pass my general order, quickly retreat ten miles!" Fei Guan knew that at this time, if he fought a decisive battle with the enemy, there was only one way to die. The officers and men of the army marched for seven or eight days in a row, and they were already exhausted. Seeing that Chengdu City couldn't enter again, the soldiers in the city couldn't come out to respond, and if the whole army knew about it, they were afraid of collapsing instantly. In any case, let the soldiers rest for a night and recover their strength.

On the other side, Huang Zhong was preparing to lead his troops to fight against Fei Guan, and when he saw Fei Guanguo and then withdrew, he stopped gathering soldiers. Sit back and wait for the battle to come. According to Fa Zheng's strategy, Fei Guan couldn't find a way to enter the city next, so he had to go to the neighborhood to collect grain. Waiting for him will be nothing, hehe......

Fei Guan's army retreated ten miles before stabilizing its position, and Fei Guan let the soldiers set up camp while constantly sending scouts to reconnoiter the situation in Chengdu. But all I got was bad news. On the second day, almost all the soldiers knew that Chengdu City was besieged by the enemy and could not enter for the time being.

As a last resort, there was not much grain and grass, so Fei Guan immediately sent 3,000 soldiers to the homes of nearby people to collect grain, preparing to adopt harassment tactics outside the city, so that Liu Cong's army could not attack the city with peace of mind. As long as his army has a firm foothold outside the city, Chengdu will definitely send someone to contact him.

Where is there still surplus grain to sell near Chengdu, which has long been collected by Jiang Qin and Rong Rong. At first, Fei Guan's subordinates were very polite, but as they wandered around village after village, they were not polite if they had no gain, and they took away everything that poultry and animals could eat in the people's homes. Gradually, the harvesting turned into plunder.

When the news came out, people from all over the country rushed to tell each other. This is really a fire at the city gate and the pond fish, and before the two armies officially started, the nearby people were gang-raped twice. Some people remembered the announcement posted by Jiang Qin and others before, and they now expect Liu Cong to win as soon as possible in exchange for their own food. Some of those who suffered heavy losses fled with their families in the direction of Yucheng.

A few bold people even gathered to come to the Fei Guan camp to ask for an explanation. When Fei Guan heard this, it was normal for his subordinates to go out to collect grain and use some coercive means, but why was the people so angry if they didn't receive the grain?

"Fellow, this is about to be harvested, our army is fighting with Liu Cong, there is a shortage of grain and grass, you only need to leave two months' rations, and the rest will support us, right?"

Fei Guan thought that he was a soldier of Yizhou anyway, and the people must be thinking about themselves, but he didn't expect that as soon as the villagers said it, he almost fell to the ground.

"General, three days ago, General Zhengnan sent a large number of soldiers to forcibly collect grain from house to house. Now that we have rations in our hands, we can barely last until the summer harvest, and now your subordinates are coming to loot and let us live or not? "The fellows can only tell the truth.

It's over, this Liu Cong is ruthless enough, so he started early. was squeezed dry by them in this way, and his subordinates couldn't get oil and water to disturb the people, so he led his troops to march quickly and hurried to catch up with them, but Liu Cong preemptively surrounded Chengdu. The most terrible thing is that in order to facilitate the march, the rations brought are almost bottomed out, and there is no food everywhere, what can I do now......

"General Huang, the enemy army is gathering outside the city here, and it seems that they want to storm the south gate!"

"Well done! Boys, cheer up, or move your muscles and bones, and strive to capture Fei Guan alive! Huang Zhong glared at Fei Guan at the south gate for a night, and now Fei Guan finally assembled the team again, presumably because Mr. Fa's strategy worked. This Fei Guan was forced to break through from the south gate.

To say that this Feiguan is really forced to be helpless. There are no big stones blocking the city gate, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be opened for half an hour, but I am afraid that the soldiers inside and outside the city will be swallowed alive by Liu Cong's army in this half an hour. The food could not be collected, so Fei Guan could only risk breaking through the siege and strive to enter the city as much as he could under the city wall, relying on the cover of the crossbowmen on the city wall.

But what awaits him is no longer a besieging soldier on the inside and outside, but a veteran. At first, Fei Guan was unimpressed, and commanded the army to charge. Soon the first wave was ruthlessly defeated by Huang Zhong. Fei Guan himself was shot in the horse's leg by Huang Zhong and almost overturned to the ground. After returning to the camp, he had to change his horses.

That Huang Zhong led his troops there to let Fei Guan rest, these subordinates besieged the city here, rested for three days and finally waited for Fei Guan, naturally his spirit was greatly lifted, and he followed Huang Zhong to fight hard. On the contrary, Fei Guan's subordinates were demoralized. After marching for several days, he could not enter the city, and his heart was cold. As a result, the grain was harvested to no avail. They knew that if they advanced to the city, they would have to go to another county. But what's the point of going elsewhere if Chengdu is broken? He wanted to fight, but he suffered from serious physical exertion, and the morale of the whole army was completely lost.

There was no suspense in such a decisive battle, and soon the situation was one-sided. Fei Guan's troops paid about 30% of the casualties and then scattered! Fei Guan himself was closely pursued by Huang Zhong, Fei Guan was Huang Zhong, and he was captured alive in less than a few rounds, but poor Fei Guan loyally protected the lord and repelled Meng Huo's 30,000 barbarian soldiers, but he was vulnerable in front of Huang Zhong.

Liu Cong learned of Huang Zhong's victory, and praised Fa Zheng again and again: "Filial piety is calculated, this time Liu Zhang is afraid that he wants to cry without tears." Haha......"

"Lord, the people around here still have to send someone to pacify them as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang wasted no time in reminding.

"Well, Mr. Kong Ming is right, Jiang Qin, Xing Daorong!"

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you, each with 3,000 troops, to patrol around Chengdu, but anyone who dares to rob the people will be killed! In addition, if you come across someone who has already suffered from the disaster, let them come to the barracks to redeem food. The homeless went to Luocheng en masse to settle! ”

"The last general obeys!" Two of you, look at me, I'll look at you, this time it's more refreshing than last time, last time it was to collect grain, and the serious point is to harm the party, this time it's a patrol, and it can be regarded as atonement for the local people's forgiveness.

The two of them received the order, and Liu Cong said to Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Kong Ming, this time I have to work hard for you, write a persuasion to surrender, let people copy the book, and shoot into Chengdu City at night." ”

"Liang understands!"

Liu Cong is one link after another, and after cleaning up Fei Guan, it is time to shake the military hearts of Liu Zhang and Chengdu. is still the same sentence, can attack civilly, never use force.
