In 190, in the city of Chengdu, Zhang Yi and Pan Fu, who were already in charge of themselves, were drinking tea and chatting in the teahouse. At this time, Zhang Yi had already been promoted from the previous pilot lieutenant to the cavalry captain, and was in charge of a military army of his own, and this army was the most elite in Chen Yuan that year

Rui's troops, Chen Yuan did not take this army with him when he fought in Hanzhong, and left it for Zhang Yi to protect the Chen family in Chengdu. Pan Fu also really became the Chengdu Order at this time, which is equivalent to Chengdu Taishou, and it is Pan Fu who really manages Chengdu, although Pan Fu is nominally

The head of Chengdu, many decision-making Pan Fu will still discuss with Zhang Yi.

At present, there are two armies in Chengdu, one is Zhang Yi's, and the other is Yan Yan's, and the army led by Yan Yan was also once the army led by Chen Yuan, and now Yan Yan is the head of this army

served as Yizhou Gongcao and the captain of the rebel school, although the official position was greater than Zhang Yi, due to Zhang Yi's special status, Yan Yan could not say anything to Zhang Yi and obey his words, but he did not oppose it head-on, especially after Chen Yuan led the army to Hanzhong; For Pan Fu, Yan Yan rarely has the opportunity to be with Pan Fu

Besides, Pan Fu is a Chengdu Order, so he is older than Yan Yanguan, so it is even more impossible to be disrespectful to Pan Fu.

Zhang Yi and Pan Fu were drinking tea, but they hurriedly came and ran over. The person who came was a servant of the Chen family, and he was also Zhang Yi's confidant.

"The eldest son, the second son is also here, this is the secret report I got this morning." As he spoke, the servant took out the letter from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi thought that he might be leading the army to reinforce Hanzhong, so he suddenly became interested and hurriedly took the letter. But Pan Fu didn't think so, Pan Fu also thought that if Chen Yuan asked Zhang Yi to lead the army to reinforce Hanzhong, then he should also be told, so he said that he was Chengdu

Ling, Chengdu's grain and other miscellaneous goods still have to be taken away from their own hands, so both of them can ask about this letter. So Pan Fu ruled out this idea, and it could be that something went wrong in this place.

After Zhang Yi took the letter, he couldn't wait to open the envelope, and began to read the letter without caring about Pan Fu on the side. Pan Fu on the side was still very touched by Zhang Yi, and he didn't doubt that he was opening the letter next to him, but Pan Fu still turned his face to one

Went aside. Zhang Yi looked at the contents of the letter, and gradually lost the smile on his face.

"Damn, this gang of bandits dares to be so blatant."

The letter fell from Zhang Yi's hand to Pan Fu's feet, and after Pan Fu turned his face to see Zhang Yi's expression, he picked up the letter and saw what was written.

It turned out that there was a gang of bandits who were haunting them, and according to the information in the letter, there were nearly 10,000 people in this gang of bandits. This is not a small number, right now, there are only more than 6,000 soldiers in Chengdu City, so Pan Fu thought that this could be a conspiracy, but he couldn't say it

Come out of the blue.

After Zhang Yi received the secret report, he went to transfer troops and send generals.

Pan Fu also returned to his post, calculating the food and grass for the soldiers who were about to leave the city.

Zhang also came to the Chengdu campus to discuss with Yan Yan. Zhang Yidao: "Captain Yan, there are too many bandits in this group, if you don't bring out all the soldiers and horses in Chengdu, it will be difficult to destroy this group of bandits." ”

Yan Yan replied: "When General Pingyi sent troops to Hanzhong, the last general was set as the general to protect Chengdu, and now this gang of bandits has no movement to attack anywhere, so they are not in a hurry to destroy them, and when the general is triumphant, it is not too late to send troops to exterminate this bandit." ”

Zhang Yi didn't think so, so he stopped and said: "My father-in-law went to fight against Liu Yan this time, and this battle has been fought for two years, and I haven't seen my father-in-law drive Liu Yan away, it's not that I don't believe that my father-in-law can catch up with Liu Yan." When his father-in-law was in Liangzhou, he was known as the general of Chang Sheng, the place of his father-in-law

I didn't rush to get rid of Liu Yan, there must be a reason for him, presumably my father-in-law let me have to experience in Yizhou, and this gang of bandits is just an opportunity. ”

Yan Yan couldn't persuade him, so he said: "If that's the case, the last general will be ordered to go and clear this group of bandits." ”

Zhang Yi quit, Zhang Yi wanted to lead the troops out by himself, but Yan Yan's reputation was much higher than Zhang Yi's, and he had been with Yan Yan for a period of time when he was in Jiangzhou before, and he also respected Yan Yan very much. Just when I didn't know what to do, Zhang Yi's army was Sima

Liu Liang said: "Lord Captain, I think Captain Yan is reasonable, Captain Yan brought out this gang of bandits, at this time, if something happens in Chengdu, you are still needed to preside over the overall situation." ”

Zhang Yi felt that it was the same, so he ordered: "Yan Yan! "The end will be!" Take 5,000 men and horses to destroy this bandit. "The last general commands!"

After Yan Yan left, Liu Liang came to Zhang Yi's side and said, "My lord, if Yan Yan brings 5,000 men and horses, then there will be more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city. ”

Zhang Yidao: "Otherwise, the secret report said that the number of thieves exceeded 10,000, originally I wanted him to lead 6,000 people, but I thought that Chengdu could not be lost, so I gave him 1,000 fewer people and stayed to protect the safety of Chengdu, and among the more than 1,000 people I left, there were more than 700 people."

My father left me the most elite Yizhou troops. So staying in Chengdu is more than enough. ”

After Yan Yan received the order, he led his troops from the east gate to clear out this group of bandits.

Two days later, Yan Yan came to the place mentioned in the secret report. He looked around and asked, "But here?" A person who came out from behind Yan Yan Ma replied: "Back to the school captain, this is exactly here." ”

Looking at the terrain in front of him, Yan Yan had an indescribable feeling, but he still cautiously said to the soldiers behind him: "You take a few scouts to take a look around." The soldiers who were called left the large force with several scouts.

After Yan Yan led the army to rest here for half an hour, a scout who went to reconnoiter came back to report: "Report, Captain Qi, there are thousands of people in front of you, and they are traveling here." ”

Hearing that the gang of thieves was actually going to run away, he said in a sycophant: "I must know the prestige of the captain and want to escape!" Yan Yan was overjoyed and ordered: "Give me chase!" The soldiers said in unison: "No! And the five thousand men and horses rushed after them

The bandits who are "on the run". Chasing and chasing, Yan Yan realized that the position of the army was now a good ambush place, and he was worried that this group of bandits would be ambushed here, but he thought about how much a group of bandits could do.

At this time, the spy reported that the bandits in front seemed to be tired and were resting in front.

Just as Yan Yan was overjoyed and ready to attack, another spy reported: "Captain, it's not good, there are thousands of people chasing after you in the rear, judging from the clothing, it is no different from the bandits in front." ”

Yan Yan immediately knew that he had really been tricked, and then he saw the dust in front of him, and the sharp-eyed soldier said, "Captain, the bandits in front have turned around." ”

"Report~~~, captain, thousands of people are pouring out of the mountains in the north."

At this time, Yan Yan's army Sima said: "Captain, the enemy has released nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and our 5,000 people, the enemy is outnumbered, so withdraw the troops as soon as possible." Take advantage of the fact that there are no bandits in the south, go to the south first......"

Before Sima could finish speaking, another spy returned; "Captain, there is no way to withdraw the troops, and thousands of bandits have gathered in the south."

At this time, several lieutenants beside Yan Yan said: "Captain, it's better to ask for reinforcements from Chengdu so that you can withdraw to the city." ”

Yan Yan responded: "There are no soldiers and horses in Chengdu, and there are no reinforcements coming, and it is a few days away from Jiangzhou City." ”

The lieutenant said, "Captain, it's a three-day journey to get on the horse." ”

Yan Yan said to the deputy general: "Jiangzhou also has 6,000 men and horses, if more than 5,000 people come, not only can we protect my 5,000 soldiers and horses, but also destroy this large group of bandits, and remove a great harm in Yizhou." If you bring a few people to Jiangzhou to send reinforcements, you will definitely be rewarded. ”

"No!" After the adjutant received Yan Yan's order, he took some people to Jiangzhou.

"You can't start a war with the four roads at the same time, you can break the bandits in the east first, and if Li Taishou in Jiangzhou leads troops to reinforce, you can also meet Li Taishou." Yan Yan made up his mind, first exterminated the bandits in the east, so as to join Li Wei, and sent troops back to Chengdu to tell Zhang Yi and Pan Fu about their situation, and at the same time let them do a good job of Chengdu's defensive measures, Yan Yan now feels that this group of bandits is not an ordinary bandit, how can ordinary bandits be so huge, more than 20,000 people is not a small number.

But this is not a problem for Yan Yan to worry about, what he has to do now is to quickly destroy the bandits in the east, so that he can join forces with Li Wei, so that he can have a chance to get rid of the remaining bandits.

Two days later, in the city of Chengdu.

Yan Yan's messenger returned to Chengdu and entered the Taishou Mansion of Shu County, which was the place where Pan Fu worked, and Pan Fu was also the consul and head here.

The messenger said, "My lord, Captain Yan is surrounded by bandits. ”

Pan Fu was startled at first, knowing that there must be some reason, so he asked the messenger to continue. The messenger continued: "My lord, after Captain Yan went this time, he inquired that this group of bandits is not ordinary bandits, and there are more than 20,000 of these bandits, and the bandits have come from all directions and surrounded the 5,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu. Before Captain Yan sent me back, he had people go to Jiangzhou to find Li Weitaishou, hoping that Li Weitaishou could transfer soldiers and horses from there to help Captain Yan. After saving Captain Yan, find a way to get rid of the remaining bandits. Captain Yan also asked me to tell the adults to take measures to defend Chengdu City. ”

After listening to the messenger's words, Pan Fu fell into deep thought. "Go down and rest." After the messenger went down, Pan Fu asked someone to invite Zhang Yi, saying that there was something important to discuss.

Recalling the words of the messenger just now, Pan Fu also felt that this gang of thieves had a purpose.

Think about it, how could a group of more than 20,000 bandits suddenly emerge, and from the fact that Yan Yan was surrounded, Pan Fu felt that someone must have instructed him from behind.

Where did so many people come from, this question made Pan Fu think of a point, that is, it may be that a certain family in the Yizhou family is going to stand up and take the lead in rebellion.

So, Pan Fu took a good look at the slightly more powerful families in Yizhou.
