Xu Shu sent another thirty elites of the Nanyang Army, dressed up as soldiers in Shuzhong, and escorted Wang Lei to the Sword Pavilion overnight. Xu Shu was not worried about what tricks Wang Ti would play, Zhang Ren had already arrived in Jiangyou, and after a short repair, they would also launch their big operation in Shuzhong. If Wang Lei can really persuade Meng Da to surrender, this is an unexpected joy; If not, it will not cause much damage to their overall actions.

In addition to Wang Lei, Xu Shu also informed Zhang Ren of the news of Yan Yan, Liu Ba, and Wu Yi. These four people are the loyal ministers and righteous men mentioned by Liu Zhang before. Before Liu Bei entered Shu, he persuaded Liu Yan not to accept Liu Bei, but Liu Yan did not listen, thinking that he could eat Liu Bei to death by his own means.

But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortunes and misfortunes.

Liu Yan, who wanted to hide in Yizhou as the emperor of the soil, suddenly died with a back sore. The four of them persuaded the successor Liu Zhang to drive Liu Bei away as soon as possible, and later there would be changes.

But Liu Bei is a mortal, and in a short period of time, he has won the allegiance of Xun You, Fa Zheng, Li Hui, Pang Yi, Lei Tong, Liu Bi and others. After Liu Yan's death, Liu Bei took advantage of the situation to launch a coup d'état in Chengdu, wanting to put Liu Zhang under house arrest and seize control of Yizhou.

Unexpectedly, the rumors leaked and the coup turned into an armed confrontation. Liu Zhang was defeated by Liu Bei, but escaped smoothly, and the four generals fell into Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei was extremely short of manpower in Shu, and he didn't dare to kill too much, so as not to anger the Shu sergeant clan and cause the scene to get out of control, so he has always adopted a policy of gentleness and tried every means to use it for his use. The most unfortunate thing is to be like Wang Lei, who would rather die than give in, or retreat to the mountains and forests like Yan Yan.

Knowing that Wang Lei had gone to the Sword Pavilion to persuade Meng Da to surrender, Zhang Ren didn't say much, took out the first letter and handed it to the guards, telling him to change into the clothes of Jiangyou's soldiers, and ride a fast horse to Linjiang to find Yan Yan. The letter was Liu Zhang's handwritten letter, and the content of the letter was to ask Yan Yan if he still remembered the oath he had made back then and was willing to work for Liu Zhang again. After the guards said goodbye, Zhang Ren took out a second letter from Liu Zhang, and ordered the guards who were disguised as merchants in Shuzhong to find a way to sneak into Chengdu and present it to Liu Ba. In the letter to Liu Ba, Liu Zhang did not say much except reminiscing about old things. The third letter, Zhang Ren directly put it back in his pocket.

"Wang Ti's persuasion of Meng Da is unpredictable. Although our army has Jiangyou, grain and grass to rely on, it still needs to capture a city as a temporary foothold. “

Xu Shu nodded and said, "The closest to Jiangyou Daying is Fuguan. The geographical location of Fuguan is extremely critical, and if it is captured, it can cut off the connection between Chengdu and Zitong. It's just that Fuguan is different from Jiangyou, so it's not easy to capture. “

Zhang Rendao: "Speaking of which, this Wu Yi still has some relationship with the general. His uncle, Wu Kuang, was a subordinate officer of He Miao, a chariot general. At the beginning, Wu Yi also relied on Wu Kuang's relationship and was recommended to Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and then came to Shuzhong to settle down. Wu Yi's sister married my father-in-law's brother Liu Mao, and after Liu Mao's death, Wu was widowed. In this way, Wu Yi and my father-in-law are also relatives. Since it was Wu Yizhen guarding Fuguan, everything was possible. And I also have some old friendships with Wu Yi, and I personally sent this letter from the lord. If Wu Yi can take care of the feelings of the old master, it is best to switch and surrender; If not, I'll see if I can take the opportunity to kidnap Wu Yi or shoot him to death......"

Xu Shu hugged his fists and said: "I wish General Zhang success!" After capturing Fuguan, whether to stick to it or switch to Shuzhong is up to the general to decide! ”

"Where is General Xu going?"

"Ben is going to stay in Jiangyou temporarily, and wait until the Zitong army is eliminated...... After this incident, a fire burned down the Jiangyou camp. Liu Beitun's Yizhou soldiers stationed in Zitong learned that Fuguan had fallen and all the grain and grass in Jiangyou had been lost, and they would definitely return to the aid of the whole army. Ben will lead the way to avoid Liu Bei's main force and take the opportunity to sneak attack Zitong. After taking Zitong, no matter whether Wang Lei can say that he will surrender Meng Da and enter the Sword Pavilion! After taking the Sword Pavilion, attack Jiameng Pass again and welcome the Hanzhong army! ”

Zhang Ren nodded: "The general is swimming against the current, and the pressure is not small!" Please take care! ”

Xu Shu clenched his fists: "General Zhang is alone in the depths, nine deaths, please take care!" ”

Zhang Ren laughed: "I am a person in Shu, and as soon as I enter Shu, I will be like a fish in water." Liu Bei wants to use the advantage of strength to strangle me, but it's not that easy! Rest assured! Let's see if in the end you led the Hanzhong army to capture Chengdu first, or I led the Shuzhong soldiers to capture Chengdu first. ”

"It's a deal! Those who enter Chengdu first should be the first to take the lead! Xu Shu and Zhang Ren high-fived and swore and laughed.

The two armies parted, Zhang Ren led 20,000 Yizhou soldiers to Fuguan, and Xu Shu led more than 10,000 Nanyang troops to wait quietly in the Jiangyou camp to wait for the arrival of prey.

……

Mianzhu is a large county of Guanghan County, located in the center of Yizhou, about 300 miles northeast of Chengdu. Liu Bei stationed an army of 5,000 people here, under the command of Li Hui, the commander of Mianzhu County.

At this time, Li Hui was holding a handwritten letter from Wu Yi, the general of the Fu Guard, and the whole person was in a state of scorching on the outside and tender on the inside.

Jiangyou lost? How could Jiangyou be lost? Jia Meng Pass is still there, Sword Pavilion is still there, is the enemy flying from the sky?

Li Hui repeatedly confirmed the content of the letter, and it must be that Wu Yi himself wrote it correctly, and the content was not wrong, the Hanzhong army captured Jiangyou and was now heading towards Fuguan. Fuguan was short of troops, and Wu Yi asked Li Hui for help.

Before that, no one realized the importance of Fuguan. Looking at it now, once Fuguan is captured by the enemy, Shu County in the southwest of Yizhou will be completely separated from Guanghan County and Ba County in the northeast. What's more, if Fuguan is lost, Mianzhu will lose its barrier. If Mianzhu is lost, Chengdu will be in danger.

Therefore, Fuguan can't be lost!

Li Hui made up his mind in a short period of time, and immediately led his five thousand men and horses to leave Mianzhu in a hurry, and galloped towards the starry night of Fuguan.

"Pass my order, the army will speed up, be sure to reach Fuguan before dark!"

The officers and men of the three armies responded at the same time, and the speed of their march increased again. But Li Hui still felt that this man was walking too slowly.

"Li Hui has real skills, but he is more impatient, and he doesn't care about the future and the future." Zhang Renduan sat in the Fuguan Guarding General's Mansion, smiling and talking with a bearded middle-aged general.

Those who are qualified to sit in the Fuguan Guard's Mansion are naturally the guards of Fuguan, Wu Yi and Wu Ziyuan. Zhang appointed well, Wu Yi's widowed sister has not yet married Liu Bei. Therefore, after receiving Liu Zhang's handwritten letter, Wu Yi did not think too much about it, so he demoted Zhang Ren and made a plan with Zhang Ren to seize Mianzhu. Wu Yi felt that since Liu Zhang could send Zhang Ren's 20,000 troops to Fuguan, he could naturally send more troops over. He didn't know that Zhang Ren was from the Yinping Trail. Wu Yi didn't ask, and Zhang Ren didn't say. Even if Wu Yi asked, Zhang Ren would not be able to tell the truth before he switched to surrender.
