Chapter 404: Tuogu

Zitong County, east of Zilin, west of Tongshui, is located at the southern end of the ancient Shu Road.

Zitong County is located in the northwest of the Sichuan Basin, which belonged to the ancient Shu Kingdom in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and was the frontier of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zitong, as the junction of Qin, Shu, Ba, Di and Qiang, became the barrier of thousands of miles of heaven because of the "land is connected to Qinguan, and the road is choked by Shu".

However, since King Qin Hui opened up the ancient Shu Road in order to use the golden five ox scheme, in 316 BC, Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi led troops to exterminate the Shu State, and in 285 BC, Qin set up a county in Zitong, which was 264 years earlier than the first emperor implemented the county system in the country. It can be said that Zitong is one of the earliest ancient counties in China.

Due to its important geographical location, it is known as a battleground for soldiers.

Wang Can's attack on Chengdu also focused on Zitong.

At this time, Zitong County, in the hall.

Wang Can sat on the throne with a faint smile on his face; Below, Xun You and Guo Jia sat on the left side, and Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang sat on the right. Everyone sat in the hall, all smiling, especially when they looked at Xun You and Zhao Yun, showing admiration.

The two quietly left Hanzhong, led the army to infiltrate Zitong, and gradually disintegrated Zitong's power.

It took nearly half a month for Xun You and Zhao Yun to take Zitong.

Zitong County has a long history, a long history, occupies a very important geographical location, from Zitong south can reach the Chengdu Plain, and then capture Chengdu. At the same time, it can reach Hanzhong in the north to the Hanzhong Basin. As long as the army under Wang Can is in Zitong County, it can be attacked and defended, and troops can be sent to attack Chengdu at any time.

Today's Chengdu is like a stunning beauty wearing a single tulle coat, standing in front of Wang Can pretty, waiting for Wang Can to pick.

Wang Can smiled and said: "Everyone, Zitong has been captured, do you have a strategy to break through Chengdu?" ”

Xun You arched his hand and said: "My lord, Jia Long, Ren Qi and other Yizhou clans are entrenched in Hanzhong, and the relationship is complicated, and there are countless Yizhou officials related to them, so now, it is time for Jia Long to play a role." The lord can privately send someone to contact Jia Long, and ask them to wait for the opportunity to take control of the city gate of Chengdu, and when our army arrives in Chengdu, the city gate will be opened immediately and the lord will be welcomed into the city. In this way, the lord can easily take Chengdu without wasting his efforts. ”

Guo Jia then said: "Gongda's words are very reasonable, as long as Jia Long controls the city gate of Chengdu, the lord can easily enter Chengdu." However, in order to create an opportunity for Jia Long, and at the same time to be able to draw out the army of Chengdu, the lord also had to send a large army to feint and attack Chengdu, and make a posture of vowing not to give up until Chengdu was captured, so as to attract the attention of the defenders in Chengdu in order to achieve the best results. ”

"Good!"

Wang Can stroked his palms and laughed, shouting, "Where is Zhao Yun?" ”

Zhao Yun immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Lord, the last general!" ”

Wang Can ordered: "Zilong, I order you to lead 800 broken military camps and 3,000 soldiers to set off from Zitong and send troops to attack Yucheng. After capturing the city, he immediately made a gesture of feint to attack Chengdu, and he must make enough momentum to make Liu Yan believe it. ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun clenched his fists in reply, and then turned around and stood aside.

Wang Can rolled his eyes and shouted, "Where is Yan Yan?" ”

Yan Yan stood up and arched his hand and said, "Lord, the last general!" ”

Wang Can instructed: "Heber, order you to lead 3,000 soldiers from Zitong and send troops to attack Mianzhu Pass. After capturing Mianzhu Pass, your task is the same as Zilong's, immediately feint to attack Chengdu, and be sure to make Liu Yan believe it. ”

"No!"

Yan Yan replied with a smile on his face.

He served as the commander of the army and led the troops to attack Mianzhu Pass alone, which is enough to prove that Wang Can did not use him up and left him idle. With Wang Can's reuse, the apprehension in Yan Yan's heart disappeared, and was replaced by ambition, he wanted to lead the army to capture Mianzhu Pass and win a hearty battle.

Wang Can looked at the last two big black men and shouted, "Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang!" ”

The two of them stood up at the same time and arched their hands: "The last general!" ”

Wang Can's expression was serious, and he ordered: "Zhou Cang is the positive, Pei Yuanshao is the deputy, and the two of you will lead the Hanzhong soldiers to set off from Zitong and attack Fucheng." After capturing Fucheng, he also immediately feigned an attack on Chengdu and made a gesture of attacking Chengdu. ”

"No!"

The two of them nodded, took two steps back, and stood side by side with Zhao Yun and Yan Yan.

Wang Can considered the three-way army composed of Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and a smile appeared on his face. These four people formed a three-way army and feinted to attack Chengdu from three different directions, which was enough to make Liu Yan believe that it was true, thinking that the army under Wang Can couldn't wait to attack Chengdu.

In this way, Liu Yan must have been frightened by the three-way army sent by Wang Can, and when Liu Yan sent the army to resist Wang Can, Chengdu would be empty.

In this way, Jia Long was able to gather the private soldiers of the big family to control the city gates, and even control Chengdu.

"Soldiers, go and prepare!"

Wang Can commanded, waved his hand, and asked the four people to lead the troops away.

After the four of them received the order, they bowed to Wang Can and turned to leave. In the room, only Guo Jia and Xun You, as well as Wang Can, were left. Now that Wang Can has defeated Liu Yan's three-way army and led the troops to counterattack, the general trend has been achieved, and he only needs to wait for news from Zhao Yun, Yan Yan, Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang.

Wang Can thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Gongda, you choose one person from the army to garrison Fucheng." Tomorrow, we will lead our troops to advance slowly in the direction of Chengdu. ”

"No!"

Xun Yu replied with a smile on his face.

In the hall, the three of them talked and laughed and were very happy.

……

Chengdu, the state of the pastor's house.

Liu Yan wore a brocade robe and sat cross-legged on the bed.

At this time, Liu Yan's face was ruddy, his spirit was strong, his silver-white hair was meticulously combed, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a little essence, which was not to be despised . Liu Yan was full of energy, and did not show the slightest hint of what a patient should be. However, those who are close to Liu Yan know that Liu Yan has already been terminally ill, and now that this situation occurs, it can only be a return to the light and a struggle before death.

In the bedroom, there were only Liu Yan and Zhao Wei, and there was no one else.

Liu Yan's eyes were like lightning, his tone was low, and he said slowly: "Zhao Wei, you and I have known each other for more than 20 years and know each other. I asked to enter Shu to serve as the pastor of Yizhou, and you even resigned to follow me into Shu, loyal and dedicated to the country, which is exemplary. In the past few days, I have been lying on the bed, closing my eyes and thinking about what I used to say, and I am very embarrassed. At the same time, I also want to understand that I misunderstood you a few days ago, and I understand your hard work, and I apologize to you. ”

After speaking, Liu Yan bowed his hand slightly and bowed to Zhao Wei.

Even though Zhao Wei hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hands to support Liu Yan, he couldn't stop Liu Yan.

Seeing this, Zhao Wei sighed in his heart that Liu Yan was really old, and the twilight of the hero was suffocating.

In this era, the monarch is the minister, and the monarch is above the courtiers, but Liu Yan, as the monarch, is Zhao Wei's lord, but he apologized to Liu Yan, what is the reason?

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than to win over Zhao Wei, appease Zhao Wei, and make Zhao Wei die.

After Liu Yan sat up straight, Zhao Wei stood back and arched his hand: "The lord is ashamed of Zhao Wei, Zhao Yun has stayed in the house for the past few days, and he has also thought about it, knowing that Zhao Yun did not think about things carefully, so he will let the lord misunderstand, this is Zhao Wei's mistake, not the lord's fault, please understand." Now that the situation is worrying, the lord should take care of his health, and when Gongzi Zhang returns to Yizhou, the lord can let Gongzi Zhang inherit Yizhou! ”

Liu Yan's face turned bitter, and he sighed: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I can't wait." ”

Immediately, Liu Zhang said in a low voice: "Zhao Wei, Gu appointed you as the general of the Yizhou Military Division, and has full authority to handle the military and political affairs of Yizhou. After the death of the lonely, you must welcome back Zhang'er, let him inherit the Yizhou pastor, and become the lord of Yizhou. This is Lone's last wish, and it is also Lone's last order, hoping that you can fulfill your duties and complete the task that Lone gave you. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan looked at Zhao Wei and said, "If Zhang'er is a material that can be made, you will try your best to assist; If Zhang'er is foolish and unworthy of cultivation, you can ensure that he is rich and rich for a lifetime. ”

This sentence already means that Zhao Wei thinks that Liu Zhang is not good and can be self-reliant.

After Zhao Wei heard this, he was dripping with cold sweat, knelt on the ground with a bang, and bowed: "My lord, although the ministers are full of liver and brains, they dare not forget the grace of the lord." In his lifetime, he must assist the prince to stabilize Yizhou, defeat Wang Can, and avenge the lord. ”

"Okay, if you can say that, you can rest assured, and Zhang'er will be handed over to you." Liu Yan nodded, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but the rosiness on his face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a dead breath. At this time, outside the bedroom, an attendant quickly ran in and whispered in Zhao Wei's ear for a while.

In an instant, Zhao Wei's face changed greatly.

Zhao Wei waved his hand to send the attendant away, and took a few deep breaths in a row before calming the shocked emotions in his heart.

Seeing this, Liu Yan asked, "What's going on, tell me." ”

Zhao Wei thought for a while and said, "My lord, the scout has sent news that after Wang Can captured Zitong, he has sent a three-way army to attack in the direction of Chengdu. The first army was commanded by Zhao Yun, attacked Yucheng and marched to Chengdu; The second route was led by Yan Yan to attack Mianzhu Pass and rush to Chengdu; The Third Route Army, led by Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, attacked Fucheng and hurried to Chengdu. The three-way army attacked Chengdu, which was menacing and difficult to resist. ”

After Liu Yan heard this, he felt that his heart was blocked, and his mind was even more chaotic, and he felt that Wang Can was too hateful.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time to fight Wang Can.

Liu Yan's face changed, the blood in his chest kept churning, his gray face turned red, and a mouthful of blood suddenly protruded. Immediately, his head tilted and he fell on the bed.

Zhao Wei hurriedly stepped forward, helped Liu Yan up, and let Liu Yan lie on the bed.

It took a long time for Liu Yan to come to his senses.

However, even if Liu Yan was lucky, he already had more gas out and less air intake. At this time, Liu Yan's face was like gold paper, his eyes were blank, his lips were chapped, and he was standing with a little red blood. He stretched out his thin hand, grabbed Zhao Wei, and said, "Zhao Wei, you must welcome back Zhang'er, defeat Wang Can, defeat Wang Can!" ”

"The lord rest assured, the minister will live up to the high expectations of the lord!"

Zhao Wei looked at Liu Yan's situation, and his heart was a little sour and a little sad.

After Liu Yan heard this, he nodded and immediately closed his eyes. He muttered to himself: "Zhao Yun, you must welcome back Zhang'er, defeat Wang Can, defeat Wang Can......" The voice gradually became smaller, and in the end, only the wriggling lips were left, and after a while, even the lips were motionless.

Suddenly, Liu Yan took Zhao Wei's hand and let go, and fell on the bed, losing his breath.

A generation of warlords has since fallen.

However, at this time, Yizhou can be described as stormy and has a bleak future. What's more, Liu Yan died, but Liu Zhang has not returned to Chengdu. Now that Yizhou has no owner, even if Zhao Wei stands up to preside over the overall situation, he will inevitably be attacked, and there are strong enemies outside and troubles inside, and civil strife is easy to occur in Yizhou.
