Liu Ye was in Xuchang and took the opportunity to send someone to get in touch with the intelligence officers lurking here. Only then did Liu Ye know the whole story of this matter, Liu Ye met Xun Yu and said: "Xun Linggong, my lord has found out, but the assassination was not done by us. ”

Xun Yu said coldly: "Then how do you explain the matter of the crossbow?" ”

Liu Ye said funny: "With just a crossbow, it is said that it was done by the head of my family, and you are too hasty." What is the difference between you and false accusations? Don't you think it's ridiculous to convince the world? ”

Xun Yu was silent for a moment, "Then do you have any way to prove that it wasn't Zhang Yi?" ”

Liu Ye smiled coldly, "We have already investigated the identity of the assassin, he is from Xuchang, and he once received the favor of Master Shang in the army of Master and Apprentice. Later, because of his injury, he returned to live in Xuchang. Cao Cheng deliberately killed Master Shang's apprentice, which made him resentful, so he made the assassination. ”

Xun Yu continued to ask, "Then where did he get the crossbow?" ”

Liu Ye smiled: "It's easy to ask him about this, who knows where he stole it." It seems that when he was arrested, he had the waist card of Captain Jin, wasn't this also stolen? ”

Xun Yu couldn't refute it, but he knew that a military crossbow alone couldn't return this matter to Zhang Yi. Liu Yelai told him about the murderer, that is, he came to demonstrate, and he was telling him that he knew many things about Xuchang, even better than them. So don't return this matter to Zhang Yi, otherwise, they will use their own strength to disturb Xuchang.

Xun Yu is not afraid of them, but the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the Han family can't afford to toss.

After Liu Ye completed his mission, he returned to Shouchun. Zhang Yi learned the real reason for the assassination, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Laugh because it's too simple, too coincidental. Cao Cao deliberately killed Master Shang's apprentice, but one of the intelligence officers received the favor of Master Shang's apprentice, and even assassinated the emperor to avenge him, in order to make Cao Cao sad.

Crying, this incident made him dirty, and he couldn't wash it off at all.

Zhang Yi also needs a little time to think about the next strategy, Shuzhong is basically finished, he can't fight Cao Cao in the past two years, so where should he fight next?

Zhang Yi looked at the map and set his eyes on the big west, Qishan Road!

Of course, he knows the story of Zhuge Liang's exit from Qishan, and from Yangping Pass to the west, it is Wudu County. Wudu County is the territory of Liangzhou, if you attack Liangzhou next, it seems that you can also do it! There are war horses in Liangzhou, as long as Liangzhou is taken, you can form a large-scale cavalry. As long as there are cavalry, it will be much easier for him to go north to the Central Plains.

Moreover, as long as he takes Liangzhou, Cao Cao will inevitably take the initiative to attack him. Because he can't afford to take Liangzhou by himself, the war will definitely start again. When that time comes, you may have a reason to go north.

After having a goal, Zhang Yi felt a lot better, and he also set his sights on the war in Shuzhong.

After Di Qing and Fu Youde took Luo County, they went to Xindu and surrounded Chengdu. In the city of Chengdu, Liu Zhang felt very frightened, he sent three groups of soldiers and horses, but all three groups of soldiers and horses failed, and the generals were either captured or killed, which shows the ferocity of the enemy.

When Di Qing and Fu Youde led troops to surround Chengdu, Liu Zhang gathered his subordinates and asked in frustration: "The enemy has come to the city, what should I do?" ”

Cheng Chinese Wu is no longer speaking, and they don't know what to do. Before, they thought that they could easily repel the enemy army, so they sent people out one after another. As a result, the enemy packed up all these three groups, but there were not many casualties, but after capturing a large number of Shu troops, the army was even more.

Zhang Song, who was arrogant before, stopped talking, and he didn't know what to do now.

At this time, Huang Quan said: "My lord, the only way to do this is to hold on to Chengdu and wait for the enemy to retreat." ”

Liu Zhang asked, "What if the enemy army does not retreat?" ”

Huang Quan said: "Then stick to it, Chengdu is united, and there is no problem at all to keep it for three or five years." ”

Liu Zhang sighed, "Then that's the only way." ”

Liu Zhang's military generals who are still in Chengdu are only Yang Huai, Pang Le, and Li Yi, and although there are many Wenchen, only Huang Quan can lead troops to fight. Liu Zhang handed over the defense of Chengdu to Huang Quan and commanded everyone.

Chengdu has only more than 10,000 veterans and 7,000 or 8,000 recruits, a total of 20,000 soldiers. This point of soldiers is not enough to guard a checkpoint to resist Di Qing and Fu Youde, let alone such a large Chengdu City?

After Di Qing and Fu Youde set up camp under the city, they also found that the city planned to defend it. Di Qing and Fu Youde also felt funny, at this time, Chengdu still wanted to resist stubbornly, could he still conjure up people? Nearly 100,000 soldiers were defeated and surrendered along the way, and it was almost enough for a Yizhou to raise 100,000 soldiers. This is not the late period of the Three Kingdoms, Shu raised 100,000 soldiers with less than 300,000 households, at this time, it was basically ten to twenty households to raise one soldier, and the population under Liu Zhang's rule was only about 700,000 households, if it weren't for the savings of the previous years, he couldn't afford to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Fu Youde asked Di Qing, "Do you want us to scare Liu Zhang?" I heard that Liu Zhang is very timid, maybe he will be scared by us and surrender! ”

Di Qing smiled and asked, "How do you scare him?" ”

Fu Youde also laughed, he was just joking. But it's okay to do this, even if Liu Zhang doesn't surrender, his side has nothing to lose, so it will be regarded as a training.

"Let's shoot ten thousand arrows at once!"

Di Qing nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you, I'll prepare the siege equipment, and we'll make preparations with both hands."

Fu Youde nodded, and on the second day, he selected more than 10,000 crossbowmen, came to the city, walked into the area where Chengdu's arrows could shoot, and quickly lined up inside.

The soldiers of the city noticed the movement outside the city, and thought that they were going to attack the city, so they immediately fired arrows outside the city. But the arrows sparsely entered the crossbowmen's camp.

But unfortunately, after these arrows were fired, there was not much power left, only some people were injured, and few died.

Under the command of Fu Youde, the crossbowmen quickly lined up, and then the arrows were wound, and under Fu Youde's order, ten thousand arrows shot out together and shot onto the city wall.

The archers who were releasing the arrows were immediately hit hard and were directly shot down. Many of the soldiers were shot with several arrows, and some were even nailed to wooden posts.

The guards were frightened, they had never seen such a powerful attack.
