Chapter 251: The Siege of Chengdu, Persuade Liu Zhang to surrender

Chengdu, also known as Shudu, is taken from the Zhou King Qianqi "one year and live in Chengju, two years into Yi, three years into Chengdu", has a history of nearly 500 years. It is a famous center for lacquerware craftsmanship and the birthplace of tea culture. It has become the national capital several times in history, which shows the special location of it.

In the geography, there are many mountains and forests on the southeast side, therefore, at this time, although there are four gates in Chengdu, if there is a military disaster, it can only be attacked from the south two gates. In the south of Chengdu, there are Nan'an and Wuyang, and in the north, there are Luocheng and Mianzhu, all of which are fortified cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Chengdu is definitely one of the most difficult cities in Shu to capture...

However, at this moment, Chengdu under Liu Zhang's rule has lost Wuyang, the southern barrier, which means that most of the most difficult problems in attacking Chengdu have been solved, and the rest is only to attack a strong city...

……

The golden autumn of October is just about to enter winter.

Yu Jin reorganized the remnants of Wuyang, plus the soldiers and horses under his command, and once again gathered 50,000 troops, within two days, he left two sons and 5,000 troops to guard Wuyang, and he once again led 45,000 soldiers and horses deep into Shu to capture Chengdu.

As for leaving 5,000 soldiers, it was also considered by Yu Jin, after all, it was about to enter winter at this time, and Shudu was a strong city, so it was not easy to capture, but Yu Jin left a way back for himself and laid a foundation near Chengdu; What's more, several fortified cities north of Chengdu have never been acquired by themselves, and these are enough to provide Liu Zhang with strong backing.

Wuyang City to Chengdu, along the river, but three or two days away.

Yu Jin had already told Meng Huo to let him drag Zhang Ren and prevent Zhang Ren from abandoning the city and leading troops to rescue Chengdu, but Meng Shu's recklessness was extremely unexpected to capture Zhang Ren, so that Meng Huo could just meet Yu Jin under the south gate of Chengdu.

As for Yang Erlang on the East Road. It was also in the two strategies of dragging and defeating Yan Yan that he successfully captured Jiangzhou, and in accordance with Yu Jin's follow-up strategy, thousands of good runners from Nanzhong began to enter Shu along Ba County, and attacked Guanghan, Peixian, Mianzhu and other places into Sichuan. The purpose is to attract the attention of Mianzhu, Luocheng and other places, so that it does not dare to send troops to rescue Chengdu at will.

In mid-October, most of the farmer's grain has been packed, and the mountain roads and fields are no longer golden...

With the coolness in the autumn wind, he rolled up the curtain of the car, revealing the old man in the robe, which was Yu Jin!

At this time, Yu Jin had already converged with Meng Shu from the subject country of Shu County. The combined army of nearly 60,000 slowly approached the south gate of Chengdu.

"General Meng Huo, this time you and others captured Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong, is a great achievement, and when this battle is over, the old man will be a meritorious service! Yu Jin glanced at Meng Shu, who was accompanying the car, and praised meaningfully.

"Hey, hey, hey. The governor has won the award! When Meng Shu heard this, he immediately smiled embarrassedly. said: "It was a fluke that I was able to successfully capture Zhang Ren this time...!" ”

He really secretly said that he was lucky in his heart. This time, he recklessly attacked the city, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses twice as many as Zhang Ren, and with the help of Yang Sanlang's martial arts, I am afraid that it would be 'stealing chickens and rice'! …

"General Meng Huo is too humble, luck is also strength, General Meng Huo's familiarity with the terrain of Nanzhong and Shuzhong is even more indispensable for the victory of this battle..." Smiled slightly, and once again really praised.

"Hey, hey, hey. Thank you for the compliment! Meng Shu still just smiled, and after thanking him, he didn't dare to say more.

"En......" Yu Jin smiled, but stared intently into the distance. That's exactly where Chengdu is...

……

Chengdu South Gate, the two armies face off!

Chengdu City Tower, Liu Zhang and a series of major civil and military ministers are all listed, among them, Huang Quan, dressed in a general's robe, took the lead and asked: "Is the city an old general?" ”

"I don't know why I offended Yizhou for no reason?!"

"The old man is clumsy, I don't know who is in the city?!" Yu Jin opened his mouth flatly, did not answer the question, and said: "I heard that Liu Yizhou ruled Chengdu in Chengdu, but I don't know how I didn't see him?!" ”

"My lord is here," Huang Quan replied with a straight face: "A certain Huang Quan, the acting lord came to question!" ”

"I don't know why the old general Yu offended me Yizhou?!" Huang Quan asked again.

"Hehehe, the old man Yu Jin has seen Liu Yizhou here! Yu Jin did not procrastinate, and explained casually: "My lord heard that Zhang Lu has been based on the land of Hanzhong all the year round, and does not comply with the imperial court and does not pay tribute taxes, so in response to Uncle Liu's crusade against Hanzhong's rebellion, my lord wants to borrow the land of Bashu from Liu Yizhou for the purpose of crusading against Hanzhong!" …”

"Liu Yizhou, as the state pastor of the imperial court, will definitely not postpone! "Yu Jin has also already found an excuse for this battle, where will he fall above the quarrel...

"Humph! … That's a good thing to say! Huang Quan snorted coldly and threatened: "Hanzhong rebels, my lord will send troops to exterminate it, and General Yu should retreat back to Nanzhong!" …”

"How does this make! When Yu Jin heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, and then exclaimed: "How can this make my lord and Uncle Liu Huang an offensive and defensive alliance, and they have sworn together to rejuvenate the Han family, throw their heads and spill their blood!" ”

"Now that Uncle Liu Huang is calling for rebellion, how can my lord not respond!"

"Wouldn't it be disloyal and unjust to withdraw from the army right now?! It's not going to work, it's not going to work...... Not...! ”

"Humph...!" Huang Quan was secretly annoyed in his heart again, he only knew that Yu Jin's military and political ability was not bad, but he didn't expect that his verbal skills were also good, "General Yu will go back first, borrow the city, my lord's guild will report to Xu Du, and when His Majesty makes a will, my lord's guild will definitely lend it!" …”

"Otherwise, this Chengdu and other important places in Yizhou must not be borrowed easily, the old general forgive me! …”

When Yu Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he suddenly said angrily: "The general will not be subject to foreign military orders!" What's more, the military situation is urgent, how can it be delayed, you shirk it like this, where do you put the military affairs in the country?! ”

"The people in Shu are so unreasonable, no wonder Hanzhong has been rebellious for more than ten years!"

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly lend out the land of Bashu, otherwise don't blame the old man for being ruthless! "Although the veteran is old, he is full of spirit and high spirits.

"The old man is so presumptuous," Huang Quan knew the purpose of the Chu army, and he no longer talked nonsense with Yu Jin, and also scolded: "My lord has been guarding Yizhou for more than ten years, and he has never made a mistake, how dare he be so rude?!" ”

"If you don't explain your slander today, a certain family will not be reconciled with you! …”

The two armies scolded each other in front of the battle, not only to promote the 'justice' of their own side, but also the key to boosting people's morale, naturally not to show weakness, such a confrontation, although it seems useless, but clearly shows the attitude of the Chu and Shu armies at this time.
