The defeat outside Fucheng made the Yizhou people panic, and the family was particularly concerned about the war between the Yizhou army and the Jingzhou army, once Liu Bei entered Yizhou, they would become Liu Bei's subordinates, and had to consider more, Wu Yi took refuge in Liu Bei at a critical moment, so that the Yizhou family had one more thought, through this battle between the Jingzhou army and the Yizhou army, it can be seen that whether it is in strategy or in the strength of the soldiers and horses under his command, the Jingzhou army is not comparable to the Yizhou army.

Li Yan and Fei Guan led 3,000 soldiers and horses to Mianzhu, Zhang Ren personally went out of the city to greet him, Li Yan and Fei Guan are civil officials, and Liu Zhang appointed the overseer, not Zhang Ren's status can be compared, this situation is very common in the war, the monarch does not trust the generals, will send the civil officials to supervise the war after the war starts, in order to divide the military power in the hands of the generals.

Li Yan said: "General Zhang and the Jingzhou army have been informed of the battle, and now there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Mianzhu City. ”

"Whoa." Zhang Ren hugged his fist.

Looking at Zhang Ren's performance, Li Yan was still quite satisfied.

Three days after Li Yan arrived in Mianzhu, Liu Bei reorganized his army and came outside Mianzhu City.

Seeing the danger of Mianzhu, even if it was Liu Bei, he couldn't help but feel a tightening in his heart, after the decisive battle with the Yizhou army, although the Jingzhou army was victorious, there were not a few soldiers who died in the battle, judging from the news from the details, there were tens of thousands of Yizhou troops in the city at this time.

The wealth of Yizhou has reduced the burden of grain and grass on the Jingzhou army, and the grain and grass obtained after Fucheng and the defeat of Zhang Ren are enough for the consumption of the army for two months, that is to say, if you can't win within two months, the army will face the dilemma of having no grain and grass.

"Lord, if you attack Mianzhu, I'm afraid our army will suffer heavy casualties." Xu Shu was worried that at this time, only fifty thunderbolts had been built in the Jingzhou army, and although there were hundreds of bed crossbows, the role of thunderbolts during the siege of the city was far from being comparable to that of bed crossbows.

However, the danger of Mianzhu is destined to have no great effect on the siege of the city by thunderbolt, just like Lu Bu led the army to attack Yangping Pass, the dangerous terrain makes the safety of the defenders have a greater guarantee.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about breaking through Mianzhu, this general has his own strategy." ”

Xu Shu and Fa Zheng both cast curious glances, all along, Liu Bei's strategy was not very high, and he was more asking the strategists below, but now that he had a plan to break through Mianzhu, it naturally made the two of them have some doubts in their hearts.

"Before General Ben led his soldiers and horses into Yizhou, the military division had already made a plan, and now it seems that it is really not as expected by the military division." Liu Bei said.

Xu Shu and Fa Zheng were shocked, the two of them naturally understood who the military advisor in Liu Bei's mouth was, and they were naturally in awe of Zhuge Liang's ability to anticipate the war in Yizhou in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei said: "Order the army, be on guard with your heart, and after three days, attack Mianzhu." ”

"Whoa." The generals behind him said in unison.

Liu Bei looked at Mianzhu not far away, his eyes narrowed slightly, Yizhou, he is bound to win, only by getting Yizhou, can the Han be preserved, the strength of the princes is strong, just by virtue of the land of Jingzhou, it is very difficult to revitalize the Han family among the princes, and after occupying Yizhou, it can alleviate the predicament faced by the Han family to a great extent, after he is a relative of the Han family, he naturally thinks about how to revive the prestige of the Han family, as for how the princes of the world view the Han family in Jingzhou at this time, It's not something he can take care of, in troubled times, only by taking extraordinary measures can it be possible to protect himself.

Only with strong strength in his hands can he stand out among the princes and make the princes dare not despise him.

"Lord, news came from Hanzhong, the Marquis of Jin led a large army to raid Yangping Pass, Yangping Pass was lost, under the persuasion of Pang Tong, Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu chose to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin, and now the Marquis of Jin has entered Hanzhong." Xu Shu said in a low voice.

Liu Bei's face changed slightly, he really didn't expect that the war in Hanzhong would have an eyebrow so quickly, once Zhang Lu defected to Lu Bu, it meant that Bajun and Hanzhong had already belonged to Lu Bu.

"Pay close attention to the changes in Hanzhong." Liu Bei's tone was a little eager, originally the victory was in hand, but suddenly because Lu Bu seized Hanzhong, and a little panicked, among the princes, Liu Bei was the most unwilling to face Lu Bu, Lu Bu showed a military general in front of outsiders, an invincible general, but Lu Bu was extremely powerful in the strategy of marching and fighting, and he also got the refuge of a resourceful person like Pang Tong.

After having Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was naturally very yearning for Pang Tong, what he didn't expect was that Pang Tong actually chose Lu Bu and became a strategist under Lu Bu.

"Whoa." Xu Shu arched his hand.

Xu Shu is in charge of the intelligence in the army, which is enough to see that Liu Bei attaches great importance to him, and although Fa Zheng has shown extraordinary strategy, the time to join Liu Bei is short after all.

"Yuan Zhi has been under the command of this general for a long time, and now he is attacking Yizhou, I hope Yuan Zhi can see the current situation clearly." Liu Bei reminded.

"The subordinates will definitely assist the lord to sweep Yizhou as soon as possible." Xu Shu said.

At this moment, Ma Chao came to report, Ma Chao led the troops to vote, and now he has entered the Jiameng Pass, Liu Bei is extremely happy, ready to let Ma Chao continue to be in charge of the cavalry team, Ma Chao is the fierce general of the Western Liang Army, has a great reputation in Liangzhou, after getting Ma Chao, it means that Liu Bei will have a greater reliance when he attacks Liangzhou in the future.

"Congratulations to the Lord for being so helpful." Xu Shu arched his hand.

Fa Zheng also hurriedly congratulated.

Liu Bei's expression couldn't hide his joy, the three armies were easy to get, and Ma Chao was able to lead the army to fight against Lu Bu in Liangzhou, and his ability to lead the troops to fight was extremely powerful.

The Jingzhou army began to attack Mianzhu, which was the first time that the power of the Thunderbolt was shown in front of the Yizhou army, although there were only fifty Thunderbolts, but it brought great trouble to the defenders of Mianzhu.

Ten days of siege in a row, so that the moat outside the city of Mianzhu was filled, and with the cover of the thunderbolt, the loss of the Jingzhou army is not large, the defenders in the city in the face of this situation, naturally do not dare to fight easily, after the battle outside the city, they are more afraid of the Jingzhou army, although there is the city as a support, they still feel uneasy.
