The Chengdu Plain, hidden in the mountains, is one of the few plains in Shu, covering a huge area, and has become the leader of the plains under the world through the impact of the river. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe fertile land produces economically valuable agricultural products that bring nature's gift to the land of abundance (this is not the tip of China).

If you want to mention the Chengdu Plain, you have to mention a place called Dujiangyan, which was named Du'anyan in the Eastern Han Dynasty; In the pre-Qin period, Li Bing and his son opened mountains and dug roads, so that the water flow of Du'anyan irrigated the Chengdu Plain and became the country of abundance.

Although Yan Yan, who was released, was grateful for Liu Bei and Huang Zhong's kindness, he knew that his father-in-law was Liu Zhang, so he had to survive and escape back to Chengdu. Even if he surrenders, he will have to wait until Liu Zhang surrenders, and then it will be his turn.

However, with his understanding of Liu Zhang, as long as he sticks to Chengdu, he will definitely choose to surrender; Although Liu Zhang was cowardly, this man was quite merciful to the people, and he would not want to see the people of Chengdu suffer.

Yan Yan originally felt that he couldn't survive anymore, but when he was in Guanghan, Liu Bei listened to Huang Zhong's words and let himself go; In this case, when the time comes, follow Liu Zhang to surrender, not only to be loyal to the Ming Lord, but also to fulfill the integrity, isn't it beautiful?

With this thought, Yan Yan ran towards Chengdu non-stop.

The city wall of Chengdu is towering, standing on the plain, looking at the rich and solid land from a distance, Yan Yan couldn't help but speed up. He was still thinking that if he fled back like this, would Liu Zhang doubt himself? If you are in doubt, how can you explain it?

When he rushed to the city of Chengdu, he saw the flag on the city, but he did not see a single soldier, and there seemed to be no soldiers guarding even outside the city; Yan Yanzheng felt strange, so he shouted towards the city tower: "I am Yan Yan, open the city gate quickly!" ”

No one responded to Yan Yan, as if there were no one in this city.

Yan Yan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that Liu Zhang had already left behind the people of Chengdu, himself and Zhang Ren in Langzhong with Li Hui and others, and retreated towards Nanzhong?

The strong uneasiness prompted Yan Yan to get closer to the truth, he wanted to climb the city wall, but without the support of the cloud ladder, how easy was it to climb the smooth city wall of Chengdu City?

In desperation, Yan Yan could only knock on the city gate quite vigorously to see if he could attract some Chengdu people who wanted to go out of the city to open the city gate for him. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and a businessman in Chengdu who wanted to leave the city heard Yan Yan's beating, and after learning that he was Liu Zhang's subordinate, he opened the city gate with fear.

"General Yan......" The merchant breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Yan Yan, and suddenly asked: "General Yan, Liu Yizhou has abandoned Chengdu and retreated towards Nanzhong, why did the general still come here?" ”

Hearing the news, Yan Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Zhang to really leave Chengdu.

"Liu Yizhou really evacuated towards Nanzhong? And what about him...... When did you leave? ”

The merchant replied: "When Liu Yizhou heard that Guanghan had fallen, he loaded the gold, silver, grain and grass that had been prepared for a long time, and led more than 1,000 people to evacuate towards Nanzhong. Now Chengdu is an empty city, Liu Yizhou let us close the city gate, and then open the city gate after Liu Bei comes, General Yan, you should also retreat towards Nanzhong! ”

"Retreat......"

In the face of the merchant's words, Yan Yan fell into deep thought, he could already be sure that Liu Zhang had abandoned himself and Zhang Ren and the others, and went to Nanzhong to enjoy happiness by himself; Perhaps after facing the rebellion of Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others, Liu Zhang thought that he and Zhang Ren would also rebel and save their lives.

But how could he and Zhang Ren be such greedy for life and afraid of death? The more Liu Zhang distrusts himself, the more Yan Yan has to prove his integrity!

"No, I want to defend Chengdu, even if there is only one person left, I will defend Chengdu to the death!"

The businessman who heard this made a bitter face, he didn't want Chengdu to suffer from the war, what if his family property was damaged? The most ideal situation now is that Liu Beibing will take Chengdu without blood, and govern Shu with peace of mind, which is good for everyone.

"General Yan, the people of Chengdu have long hated war, even if the general doesn't want to surrender, then don't implicate the people of Shuzhong! If Liu Bei resents the people of Chengdu because of the general, it is still us who suffer! ”

Yan Yan glanced at him and scolded: "Businessmen only know small profits, how can they know the integrity of the family and the country?" Even if the people of Chengdu are unwilling to support me, I am alone, and I have to guard Chengdu! ”

A businessman wants to cry without tears, how can there be a person who is stupid to such an extent? You alone have fulfilled your integrity, so what do you let hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu do?

Yan Yan no longer paid attention to the merchant, went straight to the city tower, looked at the people of Chengdu who were going back and forth under the city, and shouted: "The people of Chengdu, can you listen to the old man's words? ”

There was a thunderous roar, and when the people heard this, they stopped their work and looked at Yan Yan; When everyone saw that it was a well-known veteran Yan Yan, they couldn't help but be in awe to see what he wanted to say.

"My lord Liu Zhang has evacuated here, but you can't give up Chengdu to Liu Bei, if you have a heart, can you wish me a hand to resist Liu Bei?"

Yan Yan's speech was unadorned, simple and monotonous, and his intentions were clearly expressed in just a few dozen words; This seems to be very good, but because it is not elevated to Liu Zhang, the speech pales in comparison. You said let's help Liu Zhang defend against Liu Bei, but he Liu Zhang ran away, why should we help him resist Liu Bei?

In the face of Yan Yan's speech, no one gave him feedback, everyone looked at each other, and went to do their own things again; After all, help a runaway monarch, on what basis? When Liu Bei investigates it, you have fulfilled your integrity, but we have to take the blame!

Yan Yan stood on the city wall quite embarrassed, he didn't expect that he couldn't even call on a person, and his heart to guard Chengdu was slightly shaken; But he still resisted, and finally chose to guard Chengdu alone.

Maybe he really lost his mind, but he didn't think that he could survive after guarding Chengdu, so let future generations comment on the rest......

Yan Yan collected all the gravel, oil cans and other things in the city and scattered them around the city gate; He didn't know how long he could defend Chengdu on his own, but Liu Bei didn't have siege equipment, so he just needed to keep the city gate unbroken.

The words were divided into two ends, but he said that Liu Bei was already running out of military food, but Fa Zheng proposed a plan for him, that is, to borrow food from the people in the city, set up a note, and return it twice in the coming year. Sure enough, Liu Bei instantly got Wanhu grain to attack Chengdu.

At this moment, a scout came to report: "Chengdu Liu Zhang left Yizhou and retreated towards Nanzhong, Chengdu is already an empty city!" ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, thinking that this Liu Zhang actually had such a backhand; If he retreats to Nanzhong, he really can't chase him, after all, even Ma Teng in the north of Yizhou hasn't been cleaned up yet, how can he clean him up?

"What do you think?"

Fa Zheng pondered slightly: "Since Liu Zhang has abandoned Chengdu, we can just take Chengdu without bloodshed, as for his retreat to Nanzhong, he must have no intention of fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, we just need to wait to deal with Ma Teng." ”

Liu Bei followed his words, so he led 3,000 troops to take Chengdu, just arrived at the city, saw the banners on the city tower, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhang evacuated, but left so many flags to cover people's eyes, it's ridiculous!" ”

So he prepared to lead the troops to open the gates of the city, but at this moment, a huge stone fell from the tower, killing two unsuspecting soldiers; Liu Bei was shocked, thinking that it was Liu Zhang's plan to lure the enemy, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat and wait quietly.

"Uncle Liu Huang, Yan Yan is here!"

Suddenly, a veteran walked out of the city tower, majestic, holding a longbow, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, staring at Liu Bei. Liu Bei saw that it was Yan Yan, thinking that Liu Zhang did not retreat, and had the intention of retreating, but seeing that Yan Yan did not have a single soldier behind him, he felt strange in his heart, so he asked tentatively: "Why is General Yan guarding the empty city alone?" ”

"Only for the kindness of my Lord!"

Liu Bei didn't expect such a temptation, Yan Yan completely exposed the situation of defending the city alone, Liu Bei was relieved and wanted to persuade him to surrender: "Liu Zhang abandoned the people of Yizhou and left the general alone to guard the empty city, why is the general obsessed and wants to oppose our army?" In this way, the general's integrity has been fulfilled, but where are the people of Yizhou? ”

Yan Yan was not persuaded by the people of Yizhou, how could he be persuaded by Liu Bei? Without saying a word, he bent his bow and shot one person to death, shouting: "Uncle Liu Huang, loyal ministers are not the second master, although my lord has fled, but as long as I am alone in Chengdu, I will not give it to others!" ”

Liu Bei saw that Yan Yan was so kind to his own and didn't eat it, and shot his own soldiers, he was immediately furious, and the soldiers under his command also shouted to avenge the dead brother, Liu Bei ordered people to besiege the city, he wanted to see how he guarded the city with only one person!

In the face of Liu Bei's siege of the city, Yan Yan seemed to be ready to die in battle, as soon as those people approached the city wall, Yan Yan would immediately shoot them; When he saw that the soldiers were gathering at the city gate, he took several oil canisters from the side, threw them down, and fired rockets, burning many soldiers in an instant.

However, one city gate is still so difficult, Liu Bei has soldiers and horses outside the four city gates, Yan Yan rushed towards the other three city gates without stopping, painted gourds in the same way, burned many soldiers, and Liu Bei was quite angry.

"A veteran will isolate our army from Chengdu, and what is my reputation?"

Liu Bei asked people to shoot arrows into the city, but because there was only one person on the other side, it was difficult to shoot, Yan Yan took this opportunity to supplement the pruning, and shot at Liu Bei, who was angry, almost vomited three liters of blood.

"I'm tired today, I'm going to be tired to death today! Give me a siege! ”

Liu Bei was so angry that the soldiers attacked the city, and the soldiers also rushed towards the city gate desperately, and finally, under the pressure of the Quartet, a city gate was breached, and the soldiers rushed in, rushing towards the city wall, wanting to kill Yan Yan to avenge the dead soldiers.

At this time, Yan Yan was already exhausted, and seeing that Liu Bei had broken through the city, he staggered to the state pastor's mansion to continue guarding. Although there are only two gates in the state pastor's mansion, the high wall is extremely low, and Liu Bei's soldiers can climb it casually. However, Yan Yan still kicked down the soldiers who climbed the city wall as much as possible, and then filled the oil canisters around him, arranged the fire wall, and extended the life of Chengdu in Liu Zhang's hands as much as possible.

However, Yan Yan had already exhausted all his strength, and now he was using the little strength in his body as much as possible; After shooting the last arrow, he finally collapsed on the wall of the mansion and vomited blood three liters and died.

After the flames outside the mansion subsided, the army rushed into the mansion with all their might, divided the bodies of Yan Yan and the five horses, who had died of exhaustion, and each took the dismembered corpse to ask Liu Bei for a reward.

However, Yan Yan is dead, Liu Bei's anger has subsided a lot, looking at the dismembered body of Yan Yan, Liu Bei sighed helplessly: "General Yan only wants to be a decapitated general, but he doesn't want to be a corpse general......"

Liu Bei didn't have any generals who mocked Yan Yan, and with this kind of integrity alone, he didn't have any qualifications to ridicule.

Liu Bei ordered people to bury Yan Yan, and the imperial court named him the general of the expedition to the west, Liu Xie felt his loyalty, and issued an edict, nicknamed "Loyal Marquis". (Shang Zhen, "Historical Records, Confession of the Law", the danger is offered, and it is difficult to say loyalty, and there are only two people in Wei during the Three Kingdoms who are called loyal, which are Xiahoudun and Cao Ren)
