"Your Majesty, ahead is Yueshan City, the county seat of Yueshan County." Zhao Yun pointed to the direction ahead and said to Liu Chan who was on the horse beside him.

Liu Chan squinted at a bluestone city in front of him and nodded slowly.

This city does not look very big, much smaller than Chengdu City, but the city wall is extraordinarily high, and the terrain where the city is located is relatively high and steep, it is indeed an easy to defend and difficult to attack city.

Liu Chan retracted his gaze and said, "This city is not easy to attack!" ”

Zhao Yun also nodded and said, "Lord Li Yan is also almost here, let's find a place to set up camp first, and then discuss the specific siege method when Lord Li Yan comes." ”

Liu Chan nodded, and then Zhao Yun rode forward, and finally chose an equally high and steep halfway mountainside not far from Yueshan City to settle down, separated from Yueshan City by a low mountain, far away.

At this time, in the barracks that had just been stationed, the soldiers were still shuttling back and forth in the camp, busily tying up the tents that had just been stationed, and the last tent that was larger than the others had been packed up early, and Liu Chan and Zhao Yun and other generals were sitting in it.

"Fourth uncle, have the soldiers settled down?" Liu Chan sat on the side of the case in the camp tent, looked at Zhao Yun next to him and asked.

Zhao Yun saluted Liu Chan and said, "They have all set up camp." ”

Liu Chan nodded and said, "General Li Yan is coming soon, right?" ”

"If nothing goes wrong on the road, it should be in the evening." Zhao Yun still lowered his head and replied.

"Hmm." Liu Chan nodded, thoughtfully, paused for a moment and turned to look at Zhao Yun and said, "Fourth Uncle has traveled a long way, let's go rest first." ”

"The minister retired." Zhao Yun saluted Liu Chan and slowly retreated.

After Zhao Yun left, Liu Chan still sat in his seat thoughtfully, and only Wang Ping was still standing behind him.

"This is the first battle, we can't lose it!" Liu Chan hung his head and muttered to himself.

At this time, the tents in the barracks were finally set up, and the soldiers could rest for a short time except for those on duty, and the smoke began to rise gradually in the barracks, accompanied by the sun, and began to cook.

When the last afterglow of the sunset had just been hidden in the cliff to the west, and the sky was not completely dark, Li Yan and Ma Dai also led the 5,000 county soldiers recruited by Qianwei and Ma Dai's 5,000 iron cavalry to slowly walk.

"My lord, Zhao Yun's army is in front." Sitting on the war horse, Ma Dai, who was dressed in armor, said in a deep voice to Li Yan, who was also wearing armor next to him, very respectfully.

Since he and Li Yan have been stationed in Qianwei in the past few days and had a small confrontation with Gao Ding, Ma Dai has also admired this Li Yan who doesn't talk much more and more, whether it is military and political or fighting, he is so decisive and orderly.

Li Yan raised his head slightly, looked at the distribution of the military camps stationed in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go over quickly, presumably General Zhao Yun is already in a hurry, hehehe." ”

Li Yan said as he rode his horse and walked towards the barracks in front, and Ma Dai and the soldiers followed closely.

At this time, in Liu Chan's military tent, Wang Ping had just brought a bowl of corn porridge, and before it could be delivered to Liu Chan, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

"Your Majesty, General Li Yan and General Ma Dai are here." The soldier replied honestly to Liu Chan.

"It's pretty fast." Liu Chan hurriedly got up and said to Wang Ping next to him: "Let's go, let's go and greet him." ”

Liu Chan walked out of the tent as he spoke, and Wang Ping hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Liu Chan walked out of the camp tent, he saw a group of soldiers in front of the barracks pouring into the barracks, and the three general-looking people next to him were beside him and didn't know what to say, except for Zhao Yun among them, the other two were Li Yan and Ma Dai.

Although Li Yan is also a minister of Tuogu, but Li Yan is generally in charge of military affairs, while Zhuge Liang manages internal affairs, in comparison, Liu Chan does not know so much about Li Yan and Zhuge Liang, plus Zhuge Liang is following Liu Bei's old minister, and Li Yan was originally Liu Zhang's old department, Liu Bei who returned to him, so Liu Chan should pay more attention to Zhuge Liang.

Liu Chan thought about it and calmed down, and greeted him with a smile on his face, "The two foreign fields have come here, and it's been hard." ”

"Your Majesty?!" Li Yan and Ma Dai, who were talking to Zhao Yun, looked at Liu Chan walking in front of them at the same time and were stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Liu Chan to come.

Stunned, the two hurriedly saluted Liu Chan and said, "The minister (the last general) will see Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Chan smiled and waved his hand, and said, "It's free, let's talk about it in the account." ”

Liu Chan said and walked straight to the military tent, Li Yan behind him looked at Liu Chan's back, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and at the same time, he was a little relieved, and glanced at Liu Chan with a little meaning.

Li Yan didn't expect Liu Chan to come, he didn't know what had happened in Chengdu City recently, in his heart, even if Zhuge Liang came in person, it was impossible to let Liu Chan come, but now that Liu Chan is here, he can vaguely feel something, perhaps, this is not only a test for Liu Chan, maybe the other party is really capable, that, it is also their luck.

Thinking of this, Li Yan's heart suddenly calmed down a lot, nodded to Zhao Yun and Ma Dai, and then followed Liu Chan into the military tent in front of him.

At this time, Liu Chan and the others were already slowly sitting in the military tent, and Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, and Li Yan were sitting silently on both sides of the table under the tent.

Liu Chan looked at the silent crowd below, smiled slightly, and said, "General Zhao Yun, has Gao Ding's defenders in the city investigated clearly?" ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and said, "The garrison of Gaoding is about fifteen thousand people, but the Yueshan City is relatively high and steep, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Liu Chan frowned, looked at Li Yan next to him, and said, "What does General Li Yan think?" ”

Li Yan also raised his head and said in a deep voice: "The minister suggested that he try to attack the city tomorrow, and he will also look at Gao Ding's strength." ”

Liu Chan's eyes lit up, and then he looked at everyone: "I also mean this, although Yueshan City is high and steep, how can you know that it is true if you don't attack the city!" ”

Everyone also nodded slightly.

"Good!"

Liu Chan calmed down, looked at Li Yan below and said, "General Li Yan, tomorrow I will order you to be the commander in this battle, and lead the troops to attack Yueshan City, is it meaningful for you?" ”

"Command!" Li Yan got up and simply saluted Liu Chan.

"Well, if there is nothing else to do, you all go back and rest. Tomorrow we are going to attack the city. Liu Chan pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Everyone looked at each other, got up and saluted Liu Chan, "The ministers are leaving." After speaking, he slowly retreated.

Looking at everyone's backs, Liu Chan exhaled softly, he also knew that tomorrow would be his first battle, and he was a little undecided, but he had to be calm.

At this time, the gate of Yueshan City was still closed, the red torches were still burning on the tower, and the soldiers were also patrolling back and forth
