Li Sheng seized Baishui Pass, forming an attack on Yizhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, there are three ways to march in front of Li Sheng: the west road, with the large army attacking Zitong as a suspicious army, with more than 12,000 people of the Shanyue army as the partial division, the small route is selected to reach Wenshan County and directly under the CD, and the CD city is captured before there is no reaction; In the middle road, it is to attack Zitong, trap Fucheng, enter Mianzhu, occupy the city, go all the way south, fight when encountering the pass, occupy the city, and force the CD East Road, then to attack Brazil, Badong, Ba County, Fuling County and other eastern counties of Yizhou, and connect it with the headquarters of Jingzhou, completely putting on a steady and steady look.

These three routes of march, that is, the history in Li Sheng's memory, Pang Tong presented Liu Bei with three strategies when Liu Bei attacked Xichuan. On the count, that is, to take the west road; In the middle of the meter, for the middle road; Next, it is the East Road. In Li Sheng's memory, Liu Bei planned too quickly and too slowly, and chose to march in the middle without slowness. This can be said to be Liu Bei's helpless choice for not having a qualified mountain army at that time - Li Sheng always thought that as long as he trained the mountain army, he could completely follow the above plan and quickly win the CD However, when Li Sheng really entered this Yizhou, laid down the Baishui Pass, and was ready to go south, Li Sheng hesitated in the face of a huge topographic map of Xichuan. He had just heard about something: Wenshan County in Yizhou was completely outside the jurisdiction of Liu Zhang, and like Hanjia to the south of it, it was close to the Qiang land, so it was the Qiang people who held the real power in these two counties. This is also something that has only happened since the weak Liu Zhang ascended the throne after Liu Yan's death. In Liu Yan's time, Wenshan and Hanjia were counties directly controlled by Liu Yan, and the powerful Liu Yan did not allow the Qiang people to act recklessly in them.

"Liu Zhang is still a lot worse than his Lao Tzu." Li Sheng sighed and said a big truth that everyone knows. Looking at the small print record on the topographic map, he smiled bitterly and asked Pang Tong helplessly: "Shiyuan, how sure do you think we can be if we go to the Wenshan line and get the CD directly?" ”

"What's this?" Pang Tong groaned for a moment, and put his four straightened fingers in front of Li Sheng's eyes: "I think there is only this number ......," he said.

"So that means the East Road is not advisable?" Li Sheng frowned tightly.

"The eastern road can only seek danger for the partial division, and it is enough to send at most one battalion. If a large number of troops pass, I am afraid that they will fall into the siege of the Qiang people. After all, we are outsiders, and we cannot be trusted. Pang Tong explained with a smile, "If the Qiang people are on our side, then taking the east road is the fastest way to capture Xichuan, but at the moment." This is not an option. ”

"Then you still say he's the best policy?" Li Sheng's brow furrowed even tighter. Perhaps there is really an unchangeable force in the dark that keeps things running, Pang Tong still presented Li Sheng with the three Pingshu strategies that are exactly the same as those in Li Sheng's memory, which made Li Sheng feel slightly familiar at the same time, and had a further understanding of the situation in Xichuan, because he deliberately wanted to take a path that was different from the history in his memory.

"That's just to allow the lord to choose the middle way. I know that the lord is not a person who is in a hurry, and he must have some doubts in his heart about such a dangerous strategy of marching. Pang Tong said with a smile.

According to the general people's point of view, more consideration must be given to the above calculation. Therefore, I will explain the urgent and unfeasible plan to the lord as a plan, and the lord will inevitably pay more attention to the plan, and finally come to the conclusion that the plan is not feasible. This conclusion was reached by the lord after his own thinking, but it was much more solid than being persuaded by me. - Pang Tong was afraid that Li Sheng would make a drastic strategy, so he played such a small trick here.

As for the next plan, it is safe to be safe, but everyone knows that it is really troublesome to attack such a large piece of territory in one go, and it takes a lot of time. At a time when I don't know how the battle situation in Huainan will evolve, and whether Cao Cao will suddenly turn around and attack his own Hanzhong, delaying time means wasting his life.

"It's better to be in the middle of the road." Li Sheng was helpless, and finally made the same decision as Liu Bei in the history he remembered.

The middle strategy, that is, to take the middle road, according to Zitong, Fucheng, Mianzhu, and Luocheng. Although this road is the best plan to capture the CD, because Zitong, Fucheng, Mianzhu, Luocheng and other cities are all built in dangerous places, so it is basically impossible to take this road, and can only do their best to attack the city and pull out the village. Time can be saved, but the battle will become more intense and the attrition will be greater.

"It's going to be a tough battle." If it weren't for the lack of time, if it weren't for the fact that the terrain of Sichuan was like this, if it weren't for the fact that he wasn't very familiar with the Qiang people, Li Sheng would definitely choose such a road to fight hard with the enemy.

"That's something that can't be helped." Pang Tong sighed and said: "Xichuan is a place of four stops, and it is a place that is relatively difficult to attack. If you want to fight the city, you are helpless. What Li Sheng was thinking in his heart, Pang Tong also knew, but he had no better way for a while, so he could only comfort his sovereign.

"No way?" Li Sheng didn't want to listen to this sentence at the moment, because he felt in his heart that things had not reached the point of being unimaginable, he looked at Pang Tong and asked tentatively: "Shiyuan, can we find a way to combine these upper, middle and lower strategies?" ”

"Combine?" Pang Tong was puzzled, "How to combine." He asked Li Sheng.

"I want to ...... like this" Li Sheng thought for a while, and gestured on the map with his hand: "The partial division is all the way, composed of three mountain battalions, walking Wenshan, and approaching the CD from the Qiang land does not need to be too fast, we just need to deal with the relationship with the Qiang people and let them allow us to pass; In the middle road, we still capture Zitong, Fucheng, Mianzhu, and Yucheng; As for the eastern route, Wei Yan in Jiangling was informed and asked to bring five battalions into Sichuan to support, and to capture the three counties of Brazil, Padang, and Ba County by land, and approach the CD from the west. Pang Tong was still a little skeptical after listening to what Li Sheng said: "This is a strategy of dividing and attacking together." Originally, it was also the best way, but as far as the current Sichuan is concerned, communication is inconvenient, and the road is difficult, if it is okay to just divide in, if you want to make a perfect combo attack, I am afraid that I can't. Pang Tong finally shook his head, not thinking that Li Sheng's move was a feasible idea, and he asked a question: "If we do this, what will happen if the enemy concentrates his forces to attack us all the way?" Kawanaka's forces are still very strong. ”

"It's not a problem." Li Sheng shook his head, looking indifferent.

"How so?" Pang Tong asked strangely.

"Because I don't want to give them anything to attack." Li Sheng said with a smile.

"What? Don't do a split attack? Pang Tong became more and more puzzled by this, "Then what is your intention in arranging this?" He looked at Li Sheng.

"Full flowering, let Liu Zhang take care of one thing and lose the other." Li Sheng smiled treacherously, and asked him by comparing the map in front of Pang Tong: "If we arrange a strategy for dividing the troops now, then do you say that Liu Zhang knew that we divided the troops first, or did he first know that we had troops to attack Zitong all the way?" ”

"I'm afraid it knows that we are attacking Zitong." Pang Tong thought for a while and replied: "Because it takes time for us to send people to Jingzhou, and it also takes time for us to enter Wenshan with a partial division, no matter how fast the progress of these two roads is, they will never be faster than us who are marching in the middle of the road." Especially if you ordered the west road to slow down a little. ”

"So what will Liu Zhang do in this situation?" Li Sheng asked again.

"Well, if this situation occurs, I'm afraid Liu Zhang will send troops to firmly control the four places of Zitong, Fucheng, Mianzhu and Luocheng. He'll put his best troops there. Because he knew that we were attacking him along such a line. Pang Tong thought about it and replied, and then suddenly realized: "It turns out that the lord's idea is this...... That's amazing! He looked at Li Sheng with admiration.

Seeing that Pang Tong had already comprehended the plan he had in mind, Li Sheng also smiled and asked him in a harmonious voice: "Shiyuan, do you think this is feasible?" ”

"Feasible!" Pang Tong nodded in approval without saying a word: "Using the prestige of our army to defeat Zhang Lu has caused huge pressure on Liu Zhang, and with the majority of the troops in the middle to press Zitong, Liu Zhang will inevitably transfer defenders from all walks of life." He was always defeated by Zhang Lu, so naturally he would not think that he could defeat us with less troops than me. Therefore, his transfer will definitely cause the defenders to be in trouble. Once this happens, then our other two deviant divisions are likely to achieve greater results. It's just ......," Pang Tong said, suddenly thinking of a question and becoming hesitant.

"Just what?" Li Sheng asked.

"It's just that we mobilized 20,000 troops in Jiangling, so wouldn't Jingzhou's defense be weakened a lot? When the lord came to Xichuan, he had already mobilized 40,000 soldiers and horses, and now he has transferred 20,000 people from Jingzhou, then Jingzhou's defense will only be 20,000 people, in case Sun Quan ...... there" Pang Tong was worried.

"Sun Quan had just suffered a heavy loss at Hongze Lake, and now he must be licking his wounds. He doesn't have the strength to invade us. Although there are only 20,000 people left in Jingzhou, I am very relieved that there is Kong Ming there. Of course, just in case, I will let Sun Ren and Zhao Yun come over. Li Sheng thought for a while and said. In order to prevent the brother-in-law in his memory from doing something uncomfortable behind him, Li Sheng had to invite his wife as a "hostage". There's no way around it. Because only prevention can save the sorrow of the future.

"That's very good." Pang Tong nodded yes. Immediately, the task was assigned: Song Dewei led three mountain battalions to the west into Wenshan and went to Qiang, while Zhao Yun was the vanguard of the Chinese army, leading a cavalry and a mountain battalion to take Zitong while Liu Zhang had not yet realized that his side had launched an attack on him; With Huang Zhong as the central protector, he followed Li Sheng to command 20,000 troops as Zhao Yun's rear road; Xu Shu was ordered to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, and he lived in Nanzheng and led the affairs of Hanzhong from Jiameng Pass, and was responsible for the transportation of grain and grass in the rear; instructed Bai Yi to quickly transmit the news back to Jingzhou, and asked Wei Yan of Jiangling to lead 20,000 troops into Sichuan to attack Brazil, Padang, and Bajun, in order to join forces with the army on the middle route in Luocheng.

At the moment, Zhao Yunzhi's vanguard and Song Dezhi's partial division went first, and the Chinese army under Li Sheng's command set off from Baishui Pass the day after the two left, and still handed over the task of defending Baishui Pass to Yang Huai and Gao Pei, leaving only Zhang Song to be responsible for grain and grass scheduling in Baishui Pass, and contributing to Li Sheng's army in the rear. This is also something that Zhang Song himself requested, because he bluntly said that he was not as good as Fazheng and Pang Tong in terms of military strategy.

From Baishuiguan to Zitong, you have to pass through Jiange, Hande and other places. Originally, Liu Zhang asked Zhang Song to go to Nanzheng, in addition to asking him to comfort Li Sheng and test whether Li Sheng was hostile to him, he also wanted him to notify the various checkpoints and cities along the way to raise their vigilance against Li Shengjun. Of course, because Li Sheng and Liu Zhang did not completely turn their faces at that time, Liu Zhang directly made this point bluntly. He thought that Zhang Song would understand and would handle this matter for himself. Where did he think that Zhang Song had already taken refuge in Li Sheng, it was too late for him to delay time for Li Sheng, and where would he go to the police for Liu Zhang. On the way north for Zhang Song, whenever someone asked him what he was going to, Zhang Song said: "I will go to reward Li Shengjun on the order of the lord." Far from being wary of Li Shengjun by the officials along the way, such statements made them even more relaxed. They all remembered one thing, that is, the relationship between Lord Liu Zhang and General Li Sheng in the north was very good - this undoubtedly played a great role in Zhao Yun's raid on Zitong at this moment.

The journey was normal, when Zhao Yun's army passed through the Sword Pavilion and drove through Hande to the foot of Zitong City, Zitong City, which had not received any news, still opened its gates. The people who came and went still lined up at the city gate under the survey of the defenders. They were busy with their own business, unaware that war had come to this closed and peaceful land.

Since Zhao Yun had the idea of a surprise attack, Zhao Yun's troops came straight to Zitong, and he did not attack the places he passed, but passed through them, leaving those who didn't know what was going on far behind. Because he was not dragged down by the war, it only took Zhao Yun five days to travel from Baishuiguan to Zitong. He hurried quickly, far ahead of the spies who were very likely to exist, and was finally able to approach his target, Zitong City, without all the Yizhou people noticing.

In a forest about five miles from Zitong City, Zhao Yun stopped his army. The team was already a little tired after the long journey. Although according to Tanma's report, Zitong City did not know the news that his group of "enemies" had arrived until now, and still carried out temple fair activities with people coming and going, Zhao Yun was still worried about how the strong resistance of the enemy could occur after entering the city because he was too tired and powerless, so he took a rest here first. Of course, in order to ensure the suddenness of the raid, this rest will not last long, and it will still be carried out in the constant reporting of the horses. In Zhao Yun's words: "What is going on now is a break that is ready to fight. ”

After spending most of the hour in apprehension, the news from the front has always reported normal, which allowed Zhao Yun's physical strength to gradually recover. Zhao Yun looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and felt that it was almost over, so he asked his lieutenants to reorganize the team and move towards Zitong.

The distance of five miles was only two quarters of an hour for a normal marching team. This may be a long charge on the battlefield, but it is nothing in terms of an average march. When Zhao Yun approached the "normal" Zitong City with his brigade, the soldiers in the capital of Zitong City had already discovered them, but the soldiers understood the banner played by Zhao Yun's subordinates and understood that this belonged to Li Sheng's team, he knew that Li Sheng and his lord were allies, and there was no news that there was any tension in the relationship between the two sides, so the soldiers were very bold to regard Zhao Yun's team as their own people, and let them approach the city step by step and arrived at the city gate.

It seems that the people of Yizhou are afraid of the army. When Zhao Yun came over with such a large group of people, the people lining up near the city gate dispersed early. They are not people who have been with Li Shengjun for a long time, and all kinds of things about Li Shengjun are only rumors. Therefore, they still have the same attitude towards the arrival of Li Shengjun as Liu Zhangjun - that is, hiding.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly at the attitude of the people, slightly dissatisfied, but he understood that the key in front of him was not this, and the reason why these people were so afraid was not himself, so he didn't say anything more, but just took advantage of the people's avoidance to form a gap and entered the city in this way.

Everything went so smoothly, even more smoothly than when I led the team into the city when I was training in Jingzhou before. No one stopped him, no one checked it, and even the people who asked couldn't find one, Zhao Yun's team that intended to capture Zitong arrived in the city smoothly without any delay in between.

"The defense of Zitong, the so-called important town of Yizhou, is so lax? It's incredible, isn't it? Zhao Yun pursed his lips disdainfully, and then quickly ordered: "Everything is according to the plan, one song controls the east gate, the second song controls the west gate, the third song controls the north gate, the fourth song controls the south gate, and the fifth song will come with me to solve the problems of the Taishou Mansion." Alright, let's get going. ”

"No!" Several of Zhao Yun's schools responded in unison. Immediately, they left with their respective teams. A furious rush quickly shook up in the city. When the soldiers at the head of the city were puzzled and saw Li Shengjun's men coming to their side, everything was already over. They never thought that Li Shengjun was actually the enemy, and in the face of Li Shengjun's arrival, they could only be captured, and the resistance ended before it began. In less than an hour, Zitong fell into the hands of Li Shengjun.

Because it was a surprise attack, it was a rout, not an encirclement. Although Zhao Yun's occupation of Zitong was really fast, there were still many people who escaped from Zitong. Some of them returned to their villages, while others reported to the CD. While Zhao Yun was dealing with the affairs of Anmin in Zitong and waiting for the arrival of Li Sheng's army, Liu Zhang, who was in the CD, finally received the news that Li Sheng's army had "rebelled" and occupied Zitong.

"Bastard!" In the state pastor hall of the CD, in front of everyone, a good teacup was smashed on the ground and made a crisp sound of "clang", and with this sound was the owner of the teacup, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, Liu Jiyu, scolded sharply. This lord, who has always been kind and kind, is now with a blue face, staring directly at the blank space outside the hall. This whole look of choosing people and being fond of people made the ministers standing at the bottom of their hearts a little hairy. They could never have imagined that their lord would be so angry after hearing the news that Li Sheng had "rebelled" and captured Zitong.

"But that's a good thing. Doesn't the lord's anger mean that he is unwilling to let others take away his inheritance? There's still something to be done. Looking at Liu Zhang's angry appearance, Huang Quan felt a little comforted in his heart, and at the same time, he suggested to Liu Zhang: "Please also ask the lord to take a break from the anger of the thunder." Although Li Sheng's "rebellion" caught us off guard, if we can send troops to guard the key checkpoints now. In the hands of the territory south of Zitong, Li Sheng, who came from the expedition, will definitely not last. He is good for quick battles and not good for long battles. As long as we defend it well, as soon as there are changes in the world, Li Shengjun will inevitably retreat. In this way, the inheritance of the lord is preserved. Huang Quan was very loyal to Liu Zhang, and he made such a feasible suggestion to Liu Zhang.

"That's a good thing." Liu Zhang nodded yes, looked for the generals, counted the military horses, and ordered Leng Bao, Deng Xian, and Liu Bi to lead 50,000 troops to Fucheng to resist the enemy. Due to the urgency of time, no one knew whether Li Shengjun had already occupied Fucheng, so Liu Zhang ordered them to go to Fucheng lightly in the starry night, and it was extremely necessary to rush to Fucheng before Li Shengjun captured Fucheng. Of course, this is not a dead order, Liu Zhang also said: "If Fucheng has fallen before you arrive, they will lead the army to pass the Mianzhu Pass to the line of Luocheng and block the enemy north of Guanghan." ——Perhaps stimulated by the urgency of the matter, Liu Zhang at this moment is extremely wise. He let the rescue team go first, and put the grain and grass back slightly. After all, he fought a defensive war, fighting on the inner line, and this food and grass supply was still quite convenient.

At that moment, these three people each led their troops and horses to the trip, and they all trotted away. Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian also arrived in Fucheng six days later under this constant hurry. At this moment, Fucheng has been surrounded by Li Sheng's army. Leng Bao and Deng Xian sent a horse to report that Li Shengjun had attacked Fucheng for three days, but fortunately, Fucheng ordered Yan Yu to lead 3,000 troops in the city and 5,000 families in Fucheng to defend it, and it was able to hold Fucheng, and the situation was very critical.

Seeing such a situation in Fucheng, it was no longer possible to lead soldiers and horses directly into Fucheng. So Liu Bi consulted with Leng Bao, Deng Xian and others, and set up camp sixty miles to the west. Fearing that Li Sheng's army would come to rob the camp, Liu Bi divided his military camp into three places and placed them in the shape of an inverted character, separated by one mile, each with its own load, and each other with horns: Leng Bao led 10,000 soldiers to live in the south-west place; Deng Xian led 10,000 troops, located in the north of Leng Bud and north of Fucheng, while Liu Xuan himself led 30,000 troops to live in the west, in the middle of Leng Bud and Deng Xian, just in the use of the close distance to Leng Bao and Deng Xian's camp to prevent Li Sheng's army from attacking the two battalions - if Li Sheng's army attacked Leng Bao or Deng Xianzhai with an army, Leng Bao and Deng Xian would lead the army to rescue each other. If Li Shengjun attacked Leng Bao and Deng Xian's village with the two armies, Liu Bi would lead his troops to save them.

At that moment, Liu Bi arranged the soldiers and horses, and did not mention the various camps, but he had already attracted the attention of Li Shengjun over there. At this moment, Li Sheng's army has already joined with Zhao Yun's vanguard and attacked Fucheng together, and heard that Liu Bi, Leng Bao, and Deng Xian led the army to come, lest Liu Bi come to attack him when he led the army to attack the city, so Li Sheng asked Pang Tong to take a group of men and horses to monitor the city, and he and Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong led a large team of men and horses around the city to camp at 30 miles from Liu Bi's headquarters. Although there was no ambush, he also clearly set up a posture of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, planning to deal with Liu Bi's men and horses before going, and then take Fucheng in turn.

Originally, Li Sheng planned to attack the camp immediately, but because he saw that Liu Bi's method of dividing the camp was properly established, he was afraid that the successive attacks would cause the already side to be exhausted and suffer too much losses, so he put up a blocking posture on the opposite side of Liu Bi's camp. Of course, the two sides were separated by thirty miles, and they could not see each other.

At first there was no movement between the two sides. Li Sheng thought that Liu Bi was here to rescue Fucheng, and he would inevitably attack him first. So, he put on a defensive stance. But Liu Bi was not in a hurry at all, he heard Liu Zhang's meaning from Liu Zhang's instructions, that is, dragging. As long as Li Shengjun is stopped before the CD before the "great change in the world", it is the idea of victory, so that Liu Bi is happy to do this confrontation. Although Fucheng was besieged, he was not in a hurry to save it. He waited patiently, waiting for Li Sheng, who absolutely couldn't delay time, to attack him first.

You also wait for me to attack you, and I also wait for you to attack me, and the final result is that Li Sheng and Liu Bi's two armies have faced each other stupidly for three days with 100,000 people. As Liu Bi guessed about Li Sheng, three days later, Li Sheng was the first to stand it. As the attacking party, as the party with the ambition to be in the world, he doesn't want to let his time be wasted in vain. He had just received news from Baiyi that Cao Cao had returned to Xuchang from the front line in Huainan after receiving a letter of persuasion from Sun Quan. This made Li Sheng feel a little urgent. He was worried that Cao Cao would come to attack Hanzhong, so he was anxious to quickly take down Shuzhong first.

At the moment, Li Sheng didn't want to delay any longer, so he discussed with Fa Zheng how to break Liu Bi's 50,000-strong army. After looking at the layout of the camp on Liu Xuan's side, Fa Zheng suggested to Li Sheng: let Huang Zhong lead an army to attack Lengbao Village first, lure Deng Xian to lead the army to the rescue, and then use Zhao Yun to intercept Deng Xian's reinforcements. As for Li Sheng himself, after Deng Xian and Leng Bao exchanged hands with Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong's subordinates, he led his troops to bypass Leng Bao's camp and attack Liu Bi's camp. If Liu Bi's camp is lax, he will attack his camp directly; If Liu Bi's camp is tightly organized, he will wait outside Liu Bi's camp to prevent Liu Bi's army from going to rescue Leng Bao and Deng Xian. According to each other's strength and Li Sheng's requirements for time, Li Sheng asked them to just defeat the enemy in this battle, and not let Liu Bi and them hinder him from continuing to attack Fucheng, instead of having to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

"Defeat, just defeat. After all, now is not the time to plan a siege with peace of mind. Li Sheng said. He can't afford to delay time, and the most wasteful thing about fighting siege battles is time.
