Contrary to Qiao Ren's expectations, Liu Bei not only took Liu Zhang in Fucheng in one fell swoop, but also annexed the 30,000 foot cavalry that Liu Zhang was going to lend to Liu Bei. Maybe it's because Fang just experienced the incident of Wang being tired and dying, or maybe it's Liu Zhang in Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei rarely encountered resistance along the way, and Li Yan, Fei Guan and even Wu Yi all led their troops to take refuge in Liu Bei.

Liu Bei marched all the way, not only did he not lose, but the team became bigger and bigger. First, in Mianzhu with the help of Li Yan, he killed the Shu general Ling Bao, and then used Pang Tong's strategy to defeat Yang Huai, the famous general of Baishui who went south from the north to Jiameng Pass, and collected more than 10,000 Baishui elite soldiers.

Now that Liu Bei is proud, perhaps he has discovered for the first time that he can do a lot of things by abandoning his reputation. It's a pity that the city in front of him gave him a head start.

Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Xun, Zhang Ren, the first general in Shuzhong, and Liu Bi, who had returned from defeat, led the so-called elite soldiers of 20,000 to defend in Luocheng. The Shu army changed its previous tactics, defended the city, and never went out to fight. Moreover, Bajun Taishou Yan led the army to pinch the passage when Liu Bei entered Shu, cutting off Liu Bei's supply of grain and grass.

"Ziyuan, what do you think of this city?" Liu Bei looked at the tall city wall and didn't know what to think.

The man known as Ziyuan, who is more than eight feet tall (nearly one meter nine), but his face is very handsome, although he is in his thirties, he can hardly hide the scenery, this person is Wu Yi. "Back to the lord, in the second year of the first peace, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan moved the county seat of Yucheng from Mianzhu, built the gate, repaired the city wall, thought that Yizhou was the place of governance, the city was two feet high and two feet thick, one foot and three feet, all of which were made of rammed earth, and poured plaster."

Wu Yi's deceased father has an old relationship with Liu Yan, and it can be said that he is Liu Zhang's confidant and favorite general, but because of his surrender, it is a great blow to those Shu generals who still want to hold on.

Liu Bei looked at the city wall in front of him that was about to catch up with Luoyang, his face was cloudy for a while, and he made up his mind after half a sound, and said to Chen Zhi, the general of the guard: "Go and invite Mr. Shiyuan to come." ”

Pang Tong's plan must be a poisonous plan, and the monarch will use it with caution, and Liu Bei is more suitable for this. But Liu Bei is now difficult to ride a tiger, and he regrets that he shouldn't have listened to the persuasion of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng!

"My lord." After a while, I saw that Pang Tong was still in a green cloth robe, with a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and he was pacing slowly. Liu Bei likes the new and hates the old for the strategists, such as Sun Qian, the strategist when he was in Xuzhou, and now he can only run errands. Another example is that Xu Shu, the first great talent under him, is now far inferior to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and now after getting Fazheng, he began to think that Zhuge Liang's immediate response was too slow.

"O military advisor! The city is heavily defended, and it may be difficult to break through in a short time. I don't know what the strategy of the military advisor is. ”

Pang Tong is good-looking compared to Zhang Song, and in recent days, he has found confidence in Zhang Song, he is in a good mood, and his behavior is not so strange, and he said directly: "This matter is easy, Liu Jiyu is in our hands." One of the guards of the city is Liu Zhang's son and a loyal minister who claims to be Liu Zhang, as long as Liu Zhang comes forward to persuade them to surrender, how can the two of them disobey. ”

Pang Tong was overjoyed to come up with a poisonous plan, and his eyes rolled to his heart, "The lord doesn't have to be so annoying." As long as Liu Zhang is pressed into front of the battle, our army will go to the city behind him, and it is expected that his two generals will not dare to release arrows. ”

Liu Bei's face was cloudy when he heard this, this strategy was too poisonous, Liu Bei flaunted his benevolence and righteousness for half his life, and asking him to do such a thing when he was old was tantamount to torture him. Whether Liu Bei is true benevolence or false compassion, but pretending to be a lifetime has long become a habit.

Pang Tong was very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw Liu Bei's expression not moving, he knew in his heart that he had made a difficulty. "My lord, those who achieve great things are not informal. The small country west of the Qin State unified the world, which was not a scheme. Gaozu started in Hanzhong, and won the world in the next battle, which may not be useless. It's better to do this, the lord pretends to go out to the rear camp to inspect, and he will hand it over to the commander here. ”

The implication of Pang Tong's words is that I will carry this black cauldron, and you don't know anything, lord.

Hearing this, Liu Bei struggled in his heart, but still compromised, since he took Liu Zhang, Liu Bei has no turning back.

Looking at the back of Liu Bei leaving, Pang Tong smiled weirdly, "Someone came to press Liu Zhang forward." ”

"Father!" "The Lord"

On the city wall of Ruocheng, Zhang Ren and Liu Xun, who were dressed in fine armor, suddenly lost their color, although Liu Zhang in front of him had a bad complexion, but he was cleaned up, and he was obviously not abused by Liu Bei. However, seeing Liu Zhang appear under the city, the second general's heart suddenly became uneasy.

"General, the enemy army is about to attack the city." Zhang Ren's lieutenant reminded him, but unfortunately Zhang Ren didn't hear it, and stared at Liu Zhang with straight eyes.

"General Zhang Ren, Xun'er, generals, soldiers and brothers. My father and son have been in Yizhou for more than 20 years, and there is no kindness to the people. Now Liu Xuande, the pastor of Jingzhou, wants to take my Shu land, and the people along the way are displaced, and there are countless people who are hungry with grass and loess. Liu Zhang said as he burst into tears, "My brother Xuande is really the master, not comparable to Zhang, who is weak and incompetent." Within the four seas, it is not the king's land, the coast of the land is not the king's minister, Liu Jingzhou's Han nobles, and the emperor's uncle. It is a nephew who is admitted by his father, and he will hand over Yizhou to his brother, and I can rest assured in my heart. ”

"Liu Jiyu is a true gentleman." At this time, Zhuge Liang, who had already come to the front of the battle, couldn't help but sigh, although Liu Zhang was weak, he was the master of good faith.

"Humph!" Pang Tong looked at the aching Shuzhong ministers and Liu Beijun who were in turmoil before the battle, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "What gentleman, this Liu Zhang is really not stupid, when he says this, how can the lord not treat him well after he gains Yizhou." Hmph, leave it behind. ”

Pang Tong has some self-defeating meaning, although solving the current situation leaves a big problem.

"Let's open the city!" Above the city tower, Zhang Ren seemed to be dozens of years old, and he looked so tired.

Liu Xun looked at Zhang Ren's lonely back and bowed deeply, "The general has assisted his ancestors and father for more than ten years. There is nothing to repay, so I can only bring my father to thank the general. ”

"Young master!"

With a bang, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and the drawbridge was lowered. Zhang Ren and Liu Xun took off their armor and swords, took their seals and tiger talismans, and stood alone in front of the city gate.

"When the army enters the city, remember not to commit any offense in autumn and treat the soldiers of the Shu army well." Zhuge Liang governed the army very strictly, and when he heard him speak, Liu Beijun's soldiers also looked very calm.

"Lord!"

Liu Beiyi, who got the news, came to the front of the battle, and looked at Liu Zhang's father and son looking at each other ten meters apart, and didn't know what to think.

"Lord, what should Liu Zhang do?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Bei also knew that Liu Zhang was in front of the city gate, and knew that he couldn't treat Liu Zhang like Liu Qi, Liu Zhang was in the prime of life, if he died for no reason, Shuzhong would be chaotic, but he couldn't stay in Yizhou, "Send Mi Fang to escort his father and son to the public security and hand them over to the second brother to take care of." Remember to treat it well and not slack off. ”

Within half a year, Liu Bei actually won Yizhou, which was really unexpected by everyone. However, although Liu Bei took Yizhou, he was not stable internally. Although Liu Zhang was sent away from Yizhou, there were still many old troops who rebelled in his name, and Liu Bei was still busy.
