By the time the sun rose in the east and brought light to the land again, the battle was over. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lengbud's camp has been burned to the ground, and Deng Xian's camp has been hung with Li Sheng's banner. The defensive strategy of the three battalions set up by Liu Bi, the Yizhou general, a few days ago to rescue each other and use each other as horns, was easily broken under Li Sheng's attack overnight. The reason for this may be attributed to the reason why Li Shengjun has super combat power, or it can be attributed to the fierceness of Zhao Yun's cavalry. In fact, this seems to be the case, if Li Sheng's army is a little poorly trained, his combat strength is a little lower, and he is not so willing to fight the enemy, or Zhao Yun has never commanded such an elite cavalry, he is afraid that Li Sheng's two-way surprise attack strategy will eventually be defeated by Liu Xuan's joint defense.

To be honest, in the battle that just passed, both Li Sheng and Liu Bi had a situation of underestimating the enemy. It's just that Li Sheng's side has slightly fewer enemies, and the correction is very fast, while Liu Sheng's side is slightly lighter than the enemy, and because the communication is not smooth, there is no correction at all, which caused this final defeat.

In any case, Li Sheng is the winner, a fact that even Liu Bi cannot refute. Just after the battle, Liu Bi also sent a group of men and horses to test the situation of Deng Xian's camp that once belonged to him but was now occupied by Li Sheng, but an arrow shot from the camp gave this temptation army a very profound lesson - after more than 6,000 arrows were released in unison, the people who tried to approach the camp fell to the ground, and a full 5,000 men and horses fell to more than 2,000 in this salvo, which frightened the rest of the people and did not dare to continue to carry out the tentative task sent by the above.

The battle line was thus determined. The 50,000 horses led by Liu Bi were folded by 20,000 overnight, but he was taken aback. Because he was worried that Li Sheng would take advantage of the situation and attack him, he would not be able to hold the camp by himself, so he retreated to the northwest from the original place, while collecting the defeated army last night and learning more about the situation of Li Sheng's army, and on the other hand, he quickly sent people to Chengdu to ask Liu Zhang for help, explaining that Li Sheng's battle situation in Dafu City was no longer defensible.

Liu Bi retreated on his own, and Li Sheng stopped chasing him. Driving away those who wanted to come and steal their own food, Li Sheng led his troops back to the camp under Fucheng. He also did two things, one was to count the losses of the sneak attack on the enemy camp last night, and the other was to ask people to invite Leng Bud to say that he would surrender to him. After all, Leng Bao still showed a certain level of tactics in last night's battle, which made Li Sheng value it very much. At this moment, he still felt that there were too few talents under him, so he was naturally eager to recruit talents.

After briefly asking Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun about last night, and asking them to go down to make detailed statistics on the situation, Li Sheng asked Leng Bao to bring him up. At this moment, Leng Bud was naturally uncomfortable being tied tightly up and down. He was escorted up by two small soldiers all the way, twisting his body restlessly, desperately trying to break free from the hostage of these two villains, until Li Sheng was already like this in front of him.

"It's ugly." Looking at Leng Bud, who was struggling like a caterpillar, Li Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he waved his hand gently: "Let him go." Li Sheng said, he ordered someone to take the wine and pour it in the cup, and handed it to Leng Bao with his own hands: "The general is frightened, please accept the reparation below!" Today's situation is already like this, will the general surrender? Saying that, Li Sheng first drank all the wine in the cup, and then looked at Leng Bud in a daze.

"Humph!" Leng Bud seemed to be a little unconvinced, moved his limbs that were bound by ropes and hurt a little, and after Li Sheng took the glass of wine in his hand and drained his stomach fiercely, then he said in an urn voice: "Now that I have fallen to such a point, what can I do if I don't fall?" I don't want to die, and I don't want to waste decades of martial arts. ”

"That's good." Regardless of the fact that Leng Bao replied that there was a little reluctance in his words, Li Sheng saw that he was willing to surrender, but he was so happy that he stroked his palms and laughed and ordered his personal guards: "Go and bring the general's weapons and cloak like this." ”

"Yes!" The guards answered, and then presented a pair of armor and a spear, which were exactly what Leng Bud was wearing that day. At this moment, since Leng Bud had surrendered, Li Sheng just exchanged these for him again. He ordered him to put it on, but he saw that there were many tears in the armor, and the whole armor looked very old from a distance, and it did not bring out the majesty of a general at all.

"What's going on?" Li Sheng asked with a frown.

"The battlefield is fierce, and it's just a little broken." Leng Bud replied very boldly.

"Since the general is already my subordinate, I naturally have to think about the general's life. This armor looks old, but it is still so badly damaged, how can it protect the general? Li Sheng shook his head slightly, turned around and ordered the guards: "Go and bring my armor." I'm going to give it to the general. ”

"Huh? How dare you do this? Leng Bao was surprised, Li Sheng's personal soldiers quickly lifted up the gold and silver inlaid armor he had seen.

"This is called 'Bright Fish Scale Armor', with silk as the base, with cowhide lining, and 3,600 pieces of steel sheets on the outside, plated with gold and silver as decorations, and worn with gold wire. The armor weighs fifty pounds, and it can resist the hundred-step shooting of a four-stone strong bow, which can be regarded as the first-class armor in our army. Li Sheng smiled and pointed to this gorgeous but practical armor and explained to Leng Bao.

"Huh?" Leng Bao didn't know what to say, because when he heard Li Sheng explain this, he always felt that he was facing a businessman who was working hard to promote his goods, rather than a martial arts lord who could not only strategize and win a thousand miles, but also charge into battle to capture the enemy and kill the general. Helpless, he could only smile in agreement, and it wasn't until Li Sheng finished the call that he thanked him with some emotion: "Thank you, lord." ”

Leng Bud didn't know how much this gorgeous armor with super defensive power was worth, but he really understood that this armor was definitely not something that a general like himself could afford. If a good weapon and a good war horse give the generals a chance to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, then this solid armor gives the generals a second life - it exists to protect the generals. It is really unclear which of the two is better or worse, and generally speaking, the value of the two is equal. In the past, Lu Bu, the world's number one general, went to Dong Zhuo, didn't he give him a red rabbit horse for Dong Zhuo. Maybe the value of this armor is not as good as that of Chitu, but Leng Bu understands that he is definitely inferior to Lu Bu.

"Li Sheng actually gave himself such a valuable armor, which is a deep favor to himself and an important value to himself. This kindness, this value, is something I have never encountered before. Originally, he just wanted to deceive Li Sheng and put Li Shengjun into a desperate situation in order to fulfill his loyalty, but at this moment, can he still do it? Leng Bao's heart was in a mess, the expression on his face was cloudy, but he just stood in place in a daze with both hands holding the armor that Li Sheng had explained to his hands.

Leng Bao's face was so unnatural, Li Sheng naturally saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. What he was thinking, he didn't say it himself, Li Sheng naturally didn't know the details, but even so, Li Sheng could guess a little about what he was thinking: it was nothing more than trying to deceive the enemy and fall to the enemy. Li Sheng is still very understandable about this. After all, the current Liu Zhang has not yet reached the final desperate place, and the generals and strategists still have the loyalty to their weak lord. Therefore, it seems that it is not so easy to make such a general, who seems to be valued by Liu Zhang, surrender. Even if he wasn't really loyal to Liu Zhang, it would take a lot of time to convince them to surrender. In this regard, Li Sheng has long been prepared.

Leng Bao was engaged in the fierce ideological struggle in his heart, and Li Sheng stood beside him without speaking, waiting for him to make his final decision. In this way, the two were deadlocked, and I don't know how long it took. I saw that Leng Bud finally gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face was very strange, both a little relaxed and a little sad, but it could be seen that he already had a clear idea in his heart, and he was firm in his bones.

"My lord, please send me to the rear. I didn't want to do anything with my former comrades. Leng Bud said lightly. Li Sheng's kindness made him succumb, and he planned to follow Li Sheng in the future. For now, he decided to run away. Because while making up his mind, he felt a little guilty about his former lord.

"Okay then." Li Sheng glanced at Leng Bud with deep meaning, nodded and smiled. He knew that this was Leng Bao's best decision at the moment, and only this decision could reassure him, indicating that he had officially taken refuge in himself. If he made a decision like being willing to do something, Li Sheng needed to worry about whether he wanted to deceive himself. Turning back to the desk, Li Sheng sat down, wrote an order on the silk with a brush and handed it to him, and said, "You can take this order to Nanzheng in Hanzhong to find Xu Shu Xu Yuanzhi." He'll arrange it for you. ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Leng Bao held the armor, knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and thanked Li Sheng sincerely. At this moment, he, who had already taken refuge in Li Sheng, was moved by Li Sheng's feelings of taking care of himself so much. After slamming Li Sheng's head three times, he stood up and turned around and went out with the order given to him by Li Sheng. He went out with emotion, and the steps under his feet were so great that he could easily hear from the heavy footsteps, the excitement in his heart and the firmness of his determination at the moment. He is also a person who will not change if he recognizes the truth.

Leng Bao left, and Li Sheng refocused his mind on how to attack Fucheng.

At this moment, Fucheng has not changed at all compared with ten days ago. But this is just the hardware on the surface has not changed, and in their hearts, a few days ago and a few days later, now, their mood, their fighting spirit is very different: a few days ago, they did not see reinforcements, but they are still full of confidence in the lonely city, because they believe that there will be reinforcements to save them. With such hope, they waited for Liu Bi's people. They originally thought that the soldiers and horses who came to help could easily defeat the enemy and lift the encirclement they had endured. In the battle encountered yesterday, the reinforcements who came all the way to rescue him were defeated. Although he did not know how much the reinforcements had lost, whether they had been repulsed or routed, he knew that they had been defeated, and they had been defeated so badly that it was no longer possible for them to come to his rescue—that was enough, and he was undoubtedly isolated. In the face of the enemy's renewed siege, whether it was Yan Yu, the commander of Fucheng, or the major families in the city, but also the people in the city, they all clearly understood that they had fallen into a desperate situation. What follows is a frantic siege by the enemy, with no hope of being delivered.

"What to do? Can this city be defended? "In a small room, several large heads of family sat together to discuss the situation they were facing.

"I'm afraid not. Even the reinforcements have been repulsed, what else can we do? One of the parents shook his head in denial, his eyes full of frustration. In fact, the sentence that came out of his hand was already everyone's cognition: "Fucheng can't hold it." "They all know that.

"What then? Do we still want to continue to help Lord Yan defend the city? The other asked quietly. His voice was very subtle, with a hint of timidity, as if he was afraid that his words would cause the rest of the room to be dissatisfied. "Speaking is about strength!" This sentence seems to be a truth everywhere it goes. Just like the few people in this room, although they are all in the same boat, and they are all ready to advance and retreat together, when discussing what to do, these people who are not very strong in them really cannot participate in the reality of this discussion.

"The ship of Fucheng is already sinking, if you are willing to sink with this ship, I have nothing to say. That's your own business, and I'm not going to follow the boat on. Instead of going on, I had to put the boat in the hands of those who needed him. The other man said in a strange way, as if he had already made up his mind.

Cold field, absolute cold field. And all the people were silent when the man had said this. They all agreed that the man was right, after all, the situation was so clear that anyone could see that defending the city was a matter of no future. But, just give the city to the enemy? They are very reluctant. There is no other reason, that is, they are unwilling to change the owner of this city, because the new owner has nothing, and their family wealth suffers a heavy loss. They don't want Fucheng, a place that belongs to their foundation, to be made a mess by others. This is the reason why they have been helping Yan Yu defend Fucheng. They all heard how Li Sheng dealt with his big families - gold and silver treasures, these things Li Sheng needed, all he needed was that the big family had to hand over most of the land and almost all the private soldiers, just like what he did secretly in Jingnan and did with great fanfare in Jiaozhou. Although there is no rumor that Li Sheng used such a method against Hanzhong and the places that Yizhou had already occupied, what Li Sheng had done in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou was just around the corner, and they couldn't help but be a little scruple about it.

"It's a good thing to give them the city, but can you be sure that Li Sheng won't remember that we once stopped him? Won't he continue to pursue our troubles after the fact? And you, the old Zhuo family, will give up the thousands of acres of land that your ancestors have handed down? After a long time in the cold, one person finally asked such a large list of questions that everyone was extremely concerned about.

"Hey, hey!" The man who spoke in front of him sneered, he glanced at the large group of people in the room, and asked lightly, "Which is more important than money, land and land or life?" Locally, is it Li Sheng and Liu Zhang's deep roots or ours deep roots? Does Li Sheng come to Yizhou to make a handful of money and leave, or does he want to be here for a long time? If you can figure this out, you may not be so afraid of the future. It's a simple question, but it's not so easy for those of us to figure out. Of course, the final pain is inevitable, but as long as our lives are still there, there is still hope that what we have lost will be able to be regained. ”

"That's right." When the man mentioned it, everyone in the room thought about it, thought about the questions carefully, and finally nodded, unanimously agreeing with the man's statement: "...... But as long as our lives are still there, there is still hope that what we have lost will be able to be regained. ”

"So, let's just open the city gate and let in Lord Li Sheng's soldiers and horses?" Now that their hearts have been active, the titles in their mouths have changed very quickly, and before they really see Li Sheng, they have already called Li Sheng the lord.

"How can we show our love for the Lord when we put it in like this? It's better to arrest Yan Yu, a guy who doesn't know what to do, and dedicate it to the lord. Another person suggested further.

"That's good...... of course, everyone agrees on such a good idea.

But some people still feel that this is not enough: "It's too much trouble to catch this guy." I don't think I'll just give him ...... without doing anything," the man said viciously, making a casual motion to wipe his neck. He did this move neatly and cleanly, but he didn't care about Yan Yushou at all, and he had the intention of guarding the family property for them.

They discussed these details for a long time before finally making a decision. That is: let Li Shengjun enter the city, and entangle the family to tie up Yan Yu. If you can hand over a living Yan Yu to Li Sheng, it will naturally be the best, but if Yan Yu resists, then naturally there is no need to be too polite about it.

The mutiny took place at 10 midnight. Those who assisted in defending the city naturally received orders from their respective masters, and they all controlled their former comrades. They opened the city gate and sent people to contact Li Shengjun outside the city directly, and at the same time divided another group of people to find the figure of Yan Yu, the commander of the Fucheng city.

The family members of the big families rebelled, and they didn't reveal a single voice in advance, so such an elbow and armpit change was an embarrassing and sad thing for Yan Yu. After receiving a report from a personal soldier temporarily, he narrowly escaped from the study room where the defense map of Fucheng City was placed, and escaped from the county government office that was his headquarters. He had planned to go to the military camp south of the city to rely on the soldiers defending the city to fight against these rebels. However, he was not lucky after all, and on the way to the south of the city, he was surrounded by people all the way. Yan Yu has a strong personality, sometimes even to the point of being a little stubborn and arrogant. Seeing that those rebels surrounded him, he didn't say a word, and didn't care that there were only thirty guards around him compared to the other party, so he waved the long sword in his hand and rushed forward. As a result, countless bowstrings sounded, and Yan Yu and the others were shot to the ground like a hedgehog.

One of the leaders of the group watched all this happen, pursed his lips coldly, and said with a little gratification: "It's good that you rushed up without your own strength." Otherwise, I have to think about what reason to deal with you as a person? Hmph, you dared to offend me in the past, no, you will die at my hands now. As he spoke, he stepped forward with a gentle step, cut off Yan Yu's dead head, and handed him over to the family next to him: "Go and dedicate this to Lord Li Sheng." Maybe all our wealth after that will be on this head. ...... Boom ......! That's a good thing. He laughed strangely, and his voice like a night owl spread far and wide in the inky night sky.

All the experiences seem to be the same as when he was in Nanzheng, and Li Sheng was easily welcomed into Fucheng by these people. In the face of this city that has blocked him for half a month, Li Sheng can't say what he feels in his heart, maybe he should be angry, maybe he should be happy, maybe he should ...... There may be no more possibilities, but it is a fact that I came here and became the new owner of this city.

Having occupied the city and intending to possess it for a long time, it was natural that the situation in the city had to be arranged. For this, Li Sheng bluntly called it "the redistribution of interests." Although there is some ** naked taste here, which may be unaccustomed to many people, they have to admit that Li Sheng's statement is indeed the most appropriate description of this matter.

When the battle is over, there are naturally two sides, victorious and defeated. Li Sheng's side is undoubtedly the victor, and those who are anyway at the most critical moment may also be counted. And Yan Yu, who had died, as well as the original defenders of the city and those small households who had already been targeted by the big households, all became the defeated side. The so-called "redistribution of interests" is the division between Li Sheng and those large households between Yan Yu and those small households, but this kind of partition is still a little different from the division in the standard sense, that is, Li Sheng also divides up those large households who have taken refuge in him to a certain extent.

"You have to pay a certain amount of land to me and distribute it to the peasants outside the city. I can't let all the peasants become your tenant farmers, or I'll end up asking you for money and food. As for the armed men in your hands, they must also be disbanded, and there is no need for so many armed men in the city. As you know, I have lost a lot of my troops and horses in this battle, so I also need you to help me replenish some troops. These two are death orders, and you guys are going to deal with them anyway. This is not just against you, but against all the landlords in the city. Do you know what I'm doing in Jiaozhou? At present, the treatment of you is much better than that of the people in Jiaozhou. I hope you don't know what's wrong, otherwise I'm not afraid of killing. Li Sheng said this decision half exhortation, half threatening, and everyone saw a truth from the firmness in his eyes, that is, these two things, they were to be done by silver ingots, otherwise Li Sheng would probably not protect their interests.

"Well, resign yourself to your fate." Hearing that Li Sheng really gave this order that they had already thought of, although everyone was very distressed and unwilling, there was no way to object, after all, Li Shengjun's steel knife was still over there, so they couldn't help but weigh whether it was their own neck or the knife in the other party's hand. "It's painful!" Seeing that their family's land property had suddenly decreased by more than half, these people's hearts were dripping blood. However, their blood did not last long, because Li Sheng made a series of decisions after this: such as encouraging industry and commerce, encouraging the planting and development of mountains, forests, fruit trees, and mulberry trees, and the most important point was to recruit their children as officials on a large scale, so that their hearts were revitalized again. Fucheng is a small town, and the children who were recruited are only petty officials, but officials are officials, which has somewhat given them some hope for these heart-wrenching hillbillies, and made them temporarily put away their hatred of Li Sheng. As a result, Fucheng settled down a little.

The rapid fall of Fucheng and the rapid stabilization of Fucheng are undoubtedly the worst news for Liu Bi, who is still stationed on the edge of Fushui in the northwest of Fucheng. At this moment, he felt more and more that the situation was critical. In the absence of any more ways, he could only send the urgent documents to the case of the lord of Chengdu one by one every day, and asked him to quickly send reinforcements to him. This is not his cowardice, but the strength of Li Shengjun's strength is indeed the case - after taking Fucheng and using some means of fighting, Li Shengjun's troop losses have not only been replenished, but further expanded. At this moment, the number of troops in Li Sheng's hands has reached 60,000, which is twice the size of his own army.

"Our army of 30,000 people has fallen into a very dangerous situation, waiting for the support of the lord......" Liu Yan's letters for help appeared one after another in Liu Yan's eyes, making him annoyed that Liu Yan was incompetent at the same time, he also had to think about how to solve the current situation, "Liu Xu must be rescued." Liu Zhang thought about it for a long time. There were not many soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and there were only 70,000 or 80,000 horses that could be beaten, including the 50,000 men handed over to Liu Bi. Now that these 50,000 people have lost more than 20,000, if they don't give Liu Bi support, I'm afraid that these 50,000 people will be wiped out, what will I do when the time comes? Could it be that he casually pulled up a strong man to fight with Li Sheng? In that case, it would be more comfortable to hang yourself. After figuring out this, Liu Zhang decided to convene the ministers to discuss how to send this reinforcement. After all, he can't just let Li Sheng grow bigger, you must know that every time Li Sheng captures a city now, it is a little damage to his strength. In a sense, he was much more dedicated to the war than his men. He knew that the hearts of the people under him were not on solving the problem at the moment. And he decided to use a way to get them to turn their energy, because now when dealing with the war, the most important thing is to win the war.

In fact, this requires those officials to carry out a change in their thinking. In fact, before Liu Bi continued to send explanations of the critical situation, in the face of Liu Bi's initial war situation report, the first thing these people in Yizhou thought about was not how to solve such a crisis, but how to hold Liu Bi accountable. Although war was imminent, it was still quite distant for most officials in Yizhou. They felt a little nervous, but this nervousness was only slightly, and they were still doing what they usually had to do very leisurely, fighting for the rights that had already seemed a little critical under Li Sheng's attack. Until, Liu Zhang found them all.
