Shu Kingdom, Chengdu City.

Midday.

Rain cats and dogs.

Above the east city gate, Liu Bei was dressed in a sharp uniform, wearing armor, and his whole person was exposed to the heavy rain, his face was gloomy, ignoring the rain dripping on his cheeks, and he looked at the front deadly.

Looking at the queue in front of him, one of his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"Damn Dongzhou soldiers!"

Columns of soldiers and horses lined up in strict formations under the city, soaring into the sky with awe-inspiring momentum, Liu Bei almost didn't crush his teeth.

He made a mistake.

I actually forgot that there was a group of soldiers and horses near Chengdu that no one had the main arrival.

Dongzhou soldiers!

This is Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, who left Liu Zhang with a backhand when he seized Yizhou.

At the beginning, there was a great chaos in Nanyang and Sanfu, and tens of thousands of people were exiled to Yizhou, Liu Yan collected them one by one, and all the young and strong people were collected as subordinates, called Dongzhou soldiers.

Since its establishment, although this army has undergone a certain amount of training, it has not experienced any major battles, a bit like the Tuntian soldiers, who are only responsible for the Tuntian around Chengdu City, and have been unknown.

After Liu Zhang established the Shu Kingdom, he completely forgot about the lack of food and clothing for this army of soldiers and horses, and kept it aside, regardless of it.

Therefore, when most of the people in Shu today are calculating the strength of Chengdu, they have forgotten that there is this army of soldiers and horses, not only Liu Bei, but also Liu Zhang himself.

However, no one expected that at this critical time of success or failure in Chengdu, this army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly came to the aid of Liu Zhang, and defended Chengdu City in one fell swoop.

The situation between the two sides, which was originally evenly matched, was suddenly disrupted by the Dongzhou soldiers.

Liu Bei was for a while. Caught off guard, he was beaten and retreated.

As the saying goes, a son is wrong and all the plates are lost.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others have been planning to change the dynasty in Shu with minimal influence. coerce the king and order not to obey, and maintain the strongest strength of Shu.

Now because of the Dongzhou soldiers, the situation has changed to this point, he can't do this at all, the sudden appearance of the Dongzhou soldiers, so that he has to retreat step by step, and finally can only stick to the east gate in the city.

was almost kicked out of Chengdu City.

Fortunately, the combat effectiveness of Lei Tong's Tiger Battalion and Infantry Battalion is sufficient, and Lei Tong is indeed a strong general, plus Chen Zhi personally led it. The elite soldiers of the various mansions that gathered and surrendered to him, relying on the terrain of the city gate, barely resisted the offensive of the Dongzhou soldiers.

A stalemate has formed between the two sides at the East City Gate.

If it really comes to the point where he is forced to withdraw from Chengdu, Liu Bei can only lead his troops to attack the city again.

Chengdu City is already a high city with thick walls, and there is enough food in the city, if he is forced to withdraw from Chengdu and wants to come in again, there will be no three or five months of attack. I'm afraid I can't do it.

And most importantly, Zhang Ren in the west. Soldiers and horses are about to return to help.

Once Zhang Ren led the army back to help, he was afraid that he would only be defeated and flee south to gain a foothold in the southern part of Shu.

After all, his main force is in Peicheng, and with the soldiers and horses in Chengdu, it is impossible to compare Zhang Ren.

But that's the worst-case scenario.

Today, it is clear that this is not the point yet. Because Wei Yan's soldiers and horses have already arrived in Chengdu City.

After Wei Yan's soldiers and horses arrived, he still had a great chance of winning this battle, but now he could only raise his battle flag and oppose Shu with great fanfare.

"My lord. This time it's Ryo oversight! Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Now, if you don't fight, you have to fight, you can only stretch and make a quick decision!" ”

The calculation is very good, but there will always be accidents, I thought I could win Chengdu without suspense, but now I got a completely different result, which made him a little crying without tears.

"Wen Chang, we don't have much time left, three days, within three days, we must take the palace, take Liu Zhang, and live!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he gritted his teeth at the fierce generals around him, and said categorically.

"Don't worry, lord!"

When Wei Yan heard this, he leaned over and took the order, and said decisively: "How can the Dongzhou soldiers be compared with the elite soldiers who came out of the bloody battle in the land of Hanzhong under the command of a certain commander, one day, a certain can break his array!" ”

"Good!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he was overjoyed by this general, and directly pulled out the sword at his waist, handed it to him, and shouted: "This sword is like a certain person coming, and a certain soldier and horse under his command are handed over to you, Chen Zhi and Lei Tong are handed over to Yuer!" ”

"Sons, kill!"

Wei Yan respectfully took Liu Bei's sword, walked down the city gate, turned over his horse, held the big sword in one hand and Liu Bei's sword in the other, like a tiger attacking, leading the cavalry with the strongest combat effectiveness under his command, and began to rush to kill the Dongzhou soldiers in front.

"Kong Ming, how are we doing in the current situation?" Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought about it.

"Lord, victory must be ours!"

Zhuge Liang was also standing in the rain, already soaked, his face was solemn, his eyes were staring at the battle in the distance, he groaned for a while, and said: "And now, the most important thing for us is time, grasp the time, the sooner this battle ends, we will maintain more strength!" ”

"Lord, Zhang Ren is coming back soon!"

Chen Deng stood on the edge of the city behind, sat in a wheelchair, and whispered.

"Where are you going?"

"His vanguard army has arrived at Silkworm Tomb, two days as fast as possible, three days as slow, and then he can return to Chengdu!" Chen Dengdao.

"Lack of time, Kong Ming, do you have a good way to stop him?" Liu Bei's face was grim, and he glanced at his confidant and strategist, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"There's a guy who can stop him!" Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Who?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up slightly.

"Shu County Taishou, Zhao Wei!"

Zhuge Liang's deep voice reverberated across the city walls.

"Zhao Wei?"

When Liu Bei heard this, he frowned slightly, and said coldly: "This person is also the right-hand man left by Liu Yan for Liu Zhang, how can he help so-and-so?" ”

"Definitely!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his head, smiled coldly, and said lightly: "The Zhao family and the Huang family are both wealthy families in Yizhou. However, after the state of Shu, Liu Zhang favored Huang Quan, but he suppressed Zhao Wei repeatedly, and Zhao was even forced to retreat from Chengdu by Huang, he must have been full of anger in his heart! ”

"That's great!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Who can convince him?" ”

"My lord. Zhao Wei now holds the heavy army of Shu County, and is at the top of the temple in Shu State, in order to show the sincerity of the lord, Liang should do it in person! Zhuge Liang bowed down.

"Okay, then there will be Lao Kongming!" Liu Bei thought about it before nodding.

Zhao Wei is not an ordinary person after all, the Zhao family itself is a Bashu family, and he himself is not only the Taishou of Shu County, but also holds the elite soldiers of Shu County. In Shu, his status and influence are also comparable to Prime Minister Huang Quan.

"Lord, in this battle of Chengdu, I don't doubt that we will win, although the Dongzhou soldiers have miraculous effects, but they have not been on the battlefield for a long time, and they are not Wei Yan's opponents, but the lord must remember one thing. Liu Zhang must not die, and the lord cannot rashly ascend the throne! ”

Zhuge Liang instructed the way.

"Don't worry. A certain has been up and down for many years, this little patience, a certain time can be stabilized! ”

Liu Bei sighed and said.

Now the situation in Shu is very clear, and he may be able to change the day. controlled the government of Shu, but he must not openly kill the monarch and succeed to the throne, after all, he can't control the whole situation at all.

Once the rebellion is provoked, the entire Shu Kingdom will be in chaos, and the fierce Wu State will not give him so much time to quell the chaos.

……

Rain in July. It rained very much, and in this pouring rain, Chengdu City has become a bloody battlefield, fighting from the main road in the alleys, and the battle is extremely fierce.

After all, Wei Yan's command is the elite of the Hanzhong, and the troops who once fought with Zhang Lu in the Sword Pavilion, combined with Lei Tong Chen's troops, have already gained the upper hand.

After all, the Dongzhou soldiers are only soldiers and horses at the level of government soldiers, and it is already a miracle that they can hold on for so long with one breath and one promise.

War is not only a manifestation of determination and will, but also a chasm that they cannot bridge.

The Dongzhou soldiers who were defeated and retreated could only converge with the Leng Bud of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, retreat to the palace gate of the Shu Palace, and hold the last pass of the Shu Kingdom.

The main commander of the Dongzhou soldiers is a native of Nanyang, who was once one of the 36 Xiaoqu commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, Han Zhong.

Han Zhong is not only a small commander of the Yellow Turban Army, he is also one of the favorite generals under the command of Bo Cai, the Yellow Turban commander who was inseparable from the Han Dynasty.

After the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he disarmed and returned to the field, incognito, and returned to his hometown Nanyang, and later Nanyang was turbulent, he fled into Yizhou, and was taken in by Liu Yan, divided the land, and was very grateful to Liu Yan.

Once asked by Liu Yan to help Liu Zhang at a critical time, he did not break his promise, and at the most critical time, he took tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to stabilize Liu Zhang's situation in Chengdu.

"Captain Leng, looking at this situation, in three days at most, we will be defeated!" The big knife in Han Zhong's hand had already rolled up, and he vigorously wiped the rain off his face, and said coldly.

"General Han, please hold on for a long time, the general has already led his troops back, at most three days, he will definitely be able to rush to Chengdu City!"

Leng Bud was very respectful to this cloth-clothed man and arched his hand.

The Dongzhou soldiers, but just a group of soldiers who did not even have leather armor and held the most broken weapons, helped them subvert the situation that was about to be defeated before, which was worthy of his respect.

"Don't worry, someone Han will do what he says, the state pastor was willing to take us in, and we should repay us with life and death!" Han Zhong's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Our Dongzhou soldiers are the names given by the state pastor back then, and this battle will inevitably be fought to the last moment!" ”

"Thank you!"

Leng Bao's heart was full of gratitude, without Han Zhong's Dongzhou soldiers, he would have been unable to support it.

……

In the middle of the city, a quiet courtyard.

"Dongzhou soldiers?" Deng Zhi smiled a little unexpectedly and said, "Liu Zhang is a dog, but Liu Yan is a tiger father, but he left him a lot of belongings!" ”

"The Dongzhou soldiers can't stop Wei Yan's soldiers and horses!" Du Yi said.

"It doesn't matter!"

Deng Zhi's eyes brightened, and he said: "This situation is much better than we expected before, Du Yi, order all the spies under the Jinyi Guard of the Shu Kingdom to create momentum and help Liu Bei ascend the throne!" ”

"No!" Du Yi nodded, smiled yinyin, and then said: "Hehe, Liu Xuande's name as an anti-thief can be regarded as solid!" ”

"It depends on whether the high commander can cut Liu Zhang under the sword!"

Deng Zhi raised his head and looked into the distance under the heavy rain curtain: "If Liu Zhang doesn't die, things won't be successful, if Liu Zhang is controlled by him, as long as he Liu Bei doesn't wait for the position, he can still maintain the image of a hypocrite." ”

"Liu Zhang will die!"

Du Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, cutting through the railway. (To be continued......)
