Chapter 237: Step by Step (First Update)
If you can't control the two passes of Fushui Pass and Jiameng Pass in your own hands, the significance of taking Yizhou will be lost, so this situation will never be allowed by Liu Feng.
Sure enough, after Fei Yuwei searched up and down Liu Zhang's mansion, he found four secret passages, each of which could lead to the Sifang City Gate, and Liu Zhang had already made such preparations when he built this mansion.
And a few hours later, when the sky was already bright, Huang Zhong also brought back the news that there were indeed many Yizhou officials in Chengdu, but all the elite soldiers and strong generals did not know where to go.
It turned out that after Wu Yi heard the drum and learned about it, he discussed with Zhang Ren, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, Wu Yi went to assist Liu Zhang to escape to Ba County, and Zhang Ren took all the generals who could fight away, Liu Feng broke into Liu Zhang's mansion and searched it vigorously, it was also the time when Zhang Ren and those generals in the city retreated, I have to say, in this way, Wu Yi and Zhang Ren minimized the losses caused by this matter, not only Liu Zhang retreated into Ba County unscathed, but even those who could recruit good fighters followed him to Ba County.
Liu Feng got this news, and there was no more disappointment, Liu Zhang has escaped, whether the rest follow or not is not much different for Liu Feng, at the moment Liu Feng will still be in Chengdu City officials all called to the front, after identifying themselves, he ordered him to appease the people in the city, do not make Liu Zhang's people behind cause panic among the people in the city.
Originally, all the ministers under Liu Zhang's command were originally a little hesitant, for fear that when Liu Zhang turned over and killed him again in the future, he would be beheaded after learning that he had surrendered Liu Feng, but Fa Zheng and Meng Da showed their support for Liu Feng in public, so many Shuzhong officials also expressed their willingness to assist Liu Feng and temporarily stabilize Chengdu.
Just as Liu Feng was in full swing in the city of Chengdu and wanted to stabilize this important town and firmly control it in his own hands, Liu Zhang, the original lord of Chengdu, was disgraced and embarrassed and finally arrived in Ba County, which was not far from the Shu army, and was escorted all the way to Jiangzhou City by Wu Yi.
At this time, the veteran Yan Yan of Bajun was in the Bajun Taishou Mansion, listening to Wu Yi tell him about the situation in Chengdu, and heard that Liu Feng actually led tens of thousands of troops through the Nanzhong soldiers to the city of Chengdu, even if it was Yan Yan, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, his face was dignified, Chengdu was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now it was taken away by Liu Feng so without a single soldier, if he wanted to recapture it from his hands, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.
"I don't know if the lord is here, will he regroup in my Ba County and lead the army back to Chengdu?" Looking at Liu Zhang, whose face was full of anger, Yan Yan immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Naturally! Liu Fengxiao'er is so bold, I have nearly 200,000 soldiers in Shuzhong, how can I not resist his tens of thousands of soldiers! Three days later, we gathered our soldiers to fight back to Chengdu, vowed to recapture the city, and kill thieves like Liu Feng! ”
Obviously, Liu Zhang is also angry this time, if it weren't for this, Liu Zhang, who has never liked to fight, would never say this, even before Zhang Lu of Hanzhong invaded Jiameng Pass, Liu Zhang did not want to send troops in person, but wanted to use Liu Bei's power, so he ended up luring a wolf into the room, but fortunately, the generals under his command are all loyal and brave, if not, Yizhou has already been taken by Liu Bei at this time.
"The lord is in a hurry at this time, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, it's better to rest here first, and wait for General Zhang Ren and others to go to Jiangzhou to discuss this matter again, although the land of Shu County has been lost, but our army is not damaged, except for the defenders of each pass, seventy or eighty thousand soldiers can be recruited within a few days, and they are naturally not afraid of Liu Feng."
Wu Yi saw Liu Zhang's eyes erupt with fire, and hurriedly stepped forward to advise, how could he not know that although Liu Zhang was sitting on hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, he knew almost nothing about this war, and if he really wanted to send troops, how to deal with Liu Feng could only be decided after Yan Yan and Zhang Ren and others discussed, not that Liu Zhang could defeat Liu Feng by relying on anger.
In the next two days, Liu Feng did not make much movement in the city of Chengdu, but only understood that this Yizhou was the largest, and it was equivalent to the entire Shu County, or even the entire city of Yizhou. At the same time, with the assistance of Fa Zheng and Meng Da, Liu Feng soon discovered that some of the officials who were retained secretly sent letters to Ba County, and after killing several people in front of those officials, these officials who were retained by Liu Feng finally realized that now Liu Feng Fang is the master of this Shu County, and the sky that has not changed in Yizhou for decades is now afraid that it is really going to change.
"Lord, after two days of investigation, this Chengdu city has almost been controlled by us, do you send troops out of the city to attack Ba County?"
At night, Liu Feng did not rest, but summoned Xu Shu, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Fa Zheng, Meng Da and others to the front, and after everyone told Liu Feng about the things in the city, Fa Zheng took the lead in asking. Regarding Liu Feng's expedition to Yizhou, because Fa Zheng is the person who knows Yizhou best, he tries his best to perform in front of Liu Cover, so that Liu Feng can know his ability.
"Xiaozhi can know what the situation is in Naba County, and how many people can Liu Zhang gather in Ba County in these two days?"
Because Liu Feng and others are newcomers, they don't know much about the internal situation in Yizhou, so these news, Liu Feng can only hope for the time being, Fa Zheng, Meng Da and the two, now that Chengdu is over, Liu Feng does have the intention to attack Ba County, but he can't lead the army without knowing anything, so he summoned several people to him today to discuss the matter of sending troops.
Fa Zheng's face was straight when he heard this, and he replied: "Because there is no danger in Ba County, there are not many defenders, at most 5,000 people, but Ba County is too guarded by Yan Yan, although he is a little old, but he is a rare tiger general in my Yizhou, even if it is Zhang Ren and others, most of them cannot win, if it is not for his age, Liu Zhang will never make Yan Yan live in Ba County." Now that Wu Yi and the others have arrived in Ba County, most of them will dispatch soldiers nearby, as expected, there should be about 30,000 soldiers in Ba County now, and if they wait for another five days, there will probably be as many as 50,000......
What Fa Zheng said was the truth, when he learned that Liu Feng was about to come here, he learned about the situation in each county of Yizhou, where there were and how many garrisons, Fa Zheng had a number in his heart, so he dared to calculate so accurately in front of Liu Bao.
Liu Feng listened, his fingers slowly tapped on the desk several times, and then suddenly looked at everyone, and after glancing at it, he stood up and said loudly: "Tomorrow at noon, send troops to Bajun!" ”
