Chapter 114: Some Things Are Not Enough to Do It Once
The Dianjiang River, which was still flowing calmly during the day, suddenly had rough waves and rushed downstream. The lower banks of the river have all been flooded, and now the water is surging towards his camp.
"Quick, get out!" Rao is surname Yan Yan has always been calm, and he was helpless when he encountered this nature, so he could only call the army to retreat as soon as possible. But Hong Feng is only a hundred feet away from here, and it is just around the corner. In such a short period of time, even if all the sleeping soldiers were awakened, let alone avoided in time.
In the roar, the large camp of the Sichuan army was half submerged, and many soldiers were already buried in the belly of the fish in their dreams. Perhaps this was lucky, because they were spared the pain of drowning. On a slightly higher ground, the soldiers were finally able to react a little longer. But in the middle of the night, when it was dark on the third watch, in the face of the surging flood, unless it was a person with an excellent water surname, it was difficult to be spared. The army was in disarray, and everyone crawled as high as possible in the dark, and no one could tell how many were drowned, and how many were trampled to death.
Yan Yan was lucky, he and Wu Ban and hundreds of their own soldiers were stationed on a small dirt slope and were not flooded. But his good luck also ended here, and when it was dawn, after Yan Yan saw the tragic situation of his camp, he couldn't help but be shocked after a long time on the battlefield.
The large camp where the 40,000 troops were stationed had been flooded, and the entire camp was now a large pond with countless floating corpses of Sichuan army soldiers floating on it. There are also some people who know how to water, although they are lucky not to be drowned, but they are struggling in the water, but they are afraid that they will not survive for too long.
"General, Zhao Feng has been killed?" At this moment, hundreds of large and small rafts upstream went downstream, and the flag was that of the Hanzhong Army. Yan Yan took a breath and was about to call someone to fight, but in the end, he sighed and didn't say anything more. The hundreds of people around him were already trembling, not to mention the Sichuan soldiers who had not died in the water. After seeing the raft, these people are left with only the share of survival, how can they have the courage to fight with their opponents again?
"Old General, what should we do?" Wu Ban looked at this sinister situation and wanted to cry without tears. Yan Yan looked around, then at the enemy rafts that were getting closer and closer, and finally said abruptly: "Yuanxiong, you are still young, there is no need to die in vain here, just surrender!" Liu Xuande has never surrendered, if you surrender, he will not embarrass you! ”
"What about you, old general?" Wu Ban heard that Yan Yan had something to say, and he couldn't help but feel complacent, and hurriedly asked.
"I, Yan Yan, are deeply favored by the two generations of Shu Gong's father and son, and now I am nearly sixty years old, and there is not much time left, do I still want to leave an infamy before I die? Now tens of thousands of troops are all lost, and there is only one death, to thank Shu Gong! After Yan Yan said this, he immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist and was about to kill himself. Wu Ban had long been paying attention to Yan Yan's movements, and as soon as the latter drew his sword, he hurriedly stepped forward and cried: "Once the old general begs for death, what will we have to do?" This defeat is not the crime of the old general, it is really a natural disaster! After the people around reacted, they also hurriedly rushed forward to hold Yan Yan and prevent him from dying. In the battle, Lu Xun flooded 40,000 Sichuan troops, drowned and killed nearly 30,000, and finally more than 10,000 Sichuan troops, including the main general Yan Yan and the deputy general Wu Ban, were captured. Then Lu Xun used the surrendered Wu Ban to persuade the Brazilian Taishou Pang Yi to surrender and easily pacified Brazil. After resting a little and collecting enough rafts, he led the army south along the pad south to Chengdu.
Zhao Feng and Zhang Fei naturally didn't know that after the former occupied Mianzhu, the Sichuan army came to attack on the third day. But what kind of goods is Xiang Cun and Fu Ban, with a ten-to-one advantage in history, he can't help Huo Jun, and now he naturally can't help Zhao Feng. The two waved their troops to attack for several days, but Mianzhu Pass was still impregnable. At the same time, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang had also arrived in Luocheng, and Zhang Ren had to concentrate on dealing with the two people in front of him first.
In front of Jiameng Pass, He Qi's 10,000 troops were stationed here for some days. According to the agreement, as long as the smoke was ignited after the closure, he took advantage of the situation to tackle key problems. After waiting for two days, just when He Qi felt that something was not quite right, and was about to send someone to investigate this day, the long-awaited beacon smoke finally rose!
"Siege!" He Qi gave an order, and dozens of cloud ladders were immediately erected, and a team of soldiers climbed up the ladders. To He Qi's surprise, the besieging troops suffered almost no resistance, and directly attacked Jiameng Pass. Except for less than a thousand people resisting, the rest couldn't even see a single figure.
"Is it General Heqi?" Just as He Qi was about to find someone to ask for details, he heard someone greet him. At this moment, several soldiers wearing the clothes of the Sichuan army came over, and He Qi took a closer look, and the first one was Wang Ping.
"Zijun, what the hell is going on, what about the defenders?" He Qi asked with some confusion. At this time, the army had all entered the Jiameng Pass, but I didn't know how more than 10,000 enemy troops disappeared out of thin air.
"Hehe, it's all convenient!" Wang Pingjian said with a smile, seeing that He Qi looked puzzled, and hurriedly explained to him in detail: "After I pretended to be a grain transporter and entered the Jiameng Pass, I secretly planted a sufficient amount of croton in the water source of the defenders, and now the 10,000 troops are all gone!" There are not so many latrines in the city, so they all go to the mountains behind the gates! ”
"What?" He Qi also looked extremely strange when he heard this, and at this time a gust of wind blew, and He Qi could vaguely smell a smell in the wind. Just imagining the scene of 10,000 people shaving on the mountain, He Qi already felt that this was really spectacular enough. "Hurry up and take advantage of the weakness of the Sichuan army and surrender them as soon as possible!" He Qi finally reacted in time and hurriedly arranged the next move. Wang Ping nodded, and led people to capture alive those Sichuan troops who were about to pull and couldn't move. Due to Wang Ping's croton contributions, He Qi was almost bloodless, and he took Jiameng Pass, and the guards Leng Bao and Deng Xian were captured alive. Of course, as the saying goes, there must be gains and losses, and the price paid is that He Qi and Wang Ping have to clean up the gold all over the mountains and fields.
A similar scene was also staged at Jianmen Pass, the difference was that the implementer had become Niu Jin, and Zhu Ran had already seen this trick in Dingjun Mountain last time, so he was only slightly surprised by this. And the guard general Wu Yi also said his eternal words after being captured: Since I was captured, how can I not surrender? (Grandma's, Nantian has never seen surrender in the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms and vote so confidently, this Wu Yi is really a rare talent!) Under the leadership of Wu Yi, Zhu Ran and Niu Jin went all the way from Jianmen Pass through Zitong County to Mianzhu Pass, and the passes were said to have been surrendered by Wu Yi along the way. At the same time, Wang Ping and He Qi also led the army from Jiameng Pass to Mianzhu Pass, passing through the counties of Hanjia County and also descending from the wind. At this point, only Guanghan County, Shu County and Qianwei County were still under his control under Liu Zhang's rule. Li Hui, the commander of Hanjia, had just been persuaded by Zhuge Liang to surrender. At present, Zhang Ren is stubbornly defending the city of Guanghan County, at best, he can block Zhang Fei and Zhao Feng, but he can't stop Lu Xun, who has already solved Yan Yan, and go south along the pad south to take Chengdu. Of course, Lu Xun had less than 20,000 people around him, and the Chengdu garrison had 30,000, but this did not prevent him from going south to threaten Chengdu, after all, he could still transfer reinforcements from Hanzhong and even Jingzhou. It's just that with Lu Xun's intelligence, he won't use such a stupid idea. And Liu Zhang's will is even more fragile than everyone imagined, all of this is a later story.
As for now, after He Qi and Zhu Ran led the army to Mianzhu by one day, more than 30,000 people had gathered under Zhao Feng's command, and there was no disadvantage in terms of troops. However, Zhang Ren also got the news at this time, and hurriedly transferred Xiang Cun and Fu Ban back to Ruocheng to defend Guanghan County. Zhao Feng pursued with all his might, but he only had time to catch up with the other party's tail and fought a small battle, failing to annihilate the main force of the Sichuan army. Zhang Ren gathered the last of more than 50,000 men and horses, and prepared to defend the last gateway of Chengdu.
"Make a decision immediately, a strong man breaks his wrist, Zhang Ren is indeed a famous general in the world!" After the pursuit of Xiang Cun and the ban failed, He Qi also sighed. Leaving Zhu Ran to guard Mianzhu, Zhao Feng led 20,000 horses to Ruocheng to join Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang to deal with Zhang Ren.
"Bo Tao, I didn't expect you to break through the Jiameng Pass so quickly, it's really admirable!" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Fei also praised Zhao Feng's marching speed. But no one thinks that Zhang Fei is exaggerating, and it is indeed not easy to break through this world's Xiongguan with only tens of thousands of horses.
"The three generals have won the award, and it is fortunate that I have passed through the Yinping Pass, and I have succeeded in one fell swoop. Compared with the three generals and Zhuge Military Division's increase in troops and calculations Zhang Ren, Zhao is far behind! Zhao Feng said modestly. For a while, everyone praised each other, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"As long as you take the city, you can go straight to Chengdu!" Zhang Fei is full of confidence. However, Zhao Feng still didn't dare to be careless, in history, Liu Bei took Sichuan, and it was smooth sailing at the beginning, Jiangyou and Fushui Pass were all taken without effort, but they were trapped under the city of Luocheng for nearly two years, and even Pang Tong was hung in Luofengpo. The reason why Liu Bei took three full years to take Xichuan can be said that this city played a role in determining the surname. Now that history repeats itself, it is your turn to face it, how dare you be careless?
"General, General Lu Boyan flies the pigeon and passes the book!" Just when everyone was bragging and farting, someone suddenly came to report the military situation on Lu Xun's side. Zhang Fei is the main general, and when he first took the military report, he couldn't help but have a very strange expression. Everyone circulated it for a week, except for Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang, most of them looked incredulous.
"Yan Yan's army has been annihilated, and Brazil has been conquered?" Ma Jian muttered to himself after reading the military report, his tone was full of disbelief, and Yang Yi on the side was even more puzzled: "Lu Boyan is exaggerating, after General Zhao transferred his troops, he only had less than 20,000 horses there, how could he defeat Yan Yan's 40,000 army?" ”
"The way of the art of war, the use of the wonderful, in one mind!" Zhao Feng sighed. At this time, Zhuge Liang admonished Zhang Fei: "Third general, since Lu Boyan has pacified Brazil, why not let him go south along the Dianjiang River and go straight to Chengdu, and force Liu Zhang to surrender?" Let's wait for a quick solution and avoid fighting with Zhang Ren! ”
"Lu Boyan only has more than 10,000 men on his hands, how can he force Liu Zhang to surrender?" Although Zhang Fei also wanted to settle the battle as soon as possible, reason told him that it was a bit too hasty to do so.
"Hehe, although there are still tens of thousands of defenders in Chengdu, Liu Jiyusheng's surname is cowardly, and he has never been in a war, let alone been beaten in Chengdu. Now once Lu Boyan's troops come to the city, I am afraid that he will be scattered, and if it is not good, he will also call Zhang Ren to return to Chengdu. Zhuge Liang said with confidence.
"That's right!" Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Zhang Fei also understood, and hurriedly replied to Lu Xun and asked him to act according to the plan without mentioning it. Zhao Feng looked at Zhuge Liang, this old man does have a hand, and when he uses the trick, he counts the characteristics of the other party's surname, and he has to learn more from him.
Not to mention Zhao Feng's messy thoughts, that night, when he was about to rest, he heard a report from the sentry outside the tent: Zhuge Liang came to visit.
