The spring rain in Yizhou is abundant, and the continuous spring rain is as capricious as a wayward child.

The sky had just cleared for half an hour, and suddenly the sky was cloudy again, and the raindrops were falling from the sky like beans, knocking on the roof tiles crackling incessantly.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Zhang saw Zhang Song taking the order, and then turned his eyes to the military generals, and said: "Who is willing to command the army to go to Jiangyou to defend against the enemy?" ”

Since the ancient Sichuan Shu people Yin Guofu, bred a lot of heroes and heroes, among which the four generals of Xichuan are the most prominent, respectively, Ling Bao, Liu Bi, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, Zhang Ren is now stationed in the Sword Pavilion, ready to resist Wei Yan and Gan Ning in Hanzhong, now left in Chengdu only Ling Bao, Liu Bi, Deng Xian, the rest of Yang Huai, Wu Lan, Qin Mi, Deng Zhi, Lu Kai, Zhang Su, Pang Yi and other generals, they are all Xichuan famous generals, the reason why Liu Yan obtained Xichuan back then, can not leave their ability to fight well.

As soon as Liu Zhang's words fell, Deng Xian and Leng Bao both came out of the ranks, and said to Liu Zhang on the main throne: "Lord Qiqi, the last general is willing to lead the army to Jiangyou to resist Lu Bu's army!" ”

Lu Kai, Deng Zhi, Wu Lan, and Yang Huai behind them also walked out of the queue and said to Liu Zhang: "We are willing to follow the two generals to go out with the army!" ”

Liu Zhang was overjoyed, got up and said, "Zhuang, with all the generals here, why am I afraid of Lu Bu?" Leng Bao and Deng Xian obey orders! ”

"The end will be here!"

Leng Bud Deng Xian agreed in unison.

Liu Zhang picked up the seal ribbon on the table, walked down and handed it to Leng Bao: "Let General Leng Bao be the governor and General Deng Xian be the deputy governor, and let the two of you lead an army of 100,000 and the four generals Lu Kai, Deng Zhi, Wu Lan, and Yang Huai to Jiangyou to meet the enemy, and let the Xiliang army taste the power of our Shu army!" ”

Leng Bud respectfully took the fish scale talisman and shouted with the generals behind him: "The last general will definitely live up to his mission." Triumphant return! ”

Time was short, Leng Bao and his generals did not wait for the gathering to disperse, and walked out of the Yizhou Thorn Mansion, they first ordered troops in the southeast and northwest of the urn city, and then went to the nearby counties to transfer soldiers and horses, and gathered 100,000 troops in the early morning of the second day. With a melodious horn sounding, 100,000 Shu troops under the leadership of Leng Bao and other generals swept out of Chengdu and headed towards Jiangyou, an important town in the north of Yizhou.

It was late at night, and the lights were on, illuminating Zhao Wei's mansion as if it were day.

"If Liu Zhang thinks that he can prevent the external situation, he can rest assured, but he doesn't know that he has turned elbows and armpits, and he closed the gate of Chengdu and did not allow him to enter and exit, but it is convenient for us to act." Zhao Wei held his wine glass. The tone was full of ambition: "Now that Lu Bu is about to come in, the time is almost ripe, it's time to give Liu Zhang a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle to avenge today's humiliation!" ”

Pang Le, Li Yi, Meng Da and the others showed admiration on their faces, they thought that Lu Bu would not come in too early, but they didn't expect his speed to be so fast, and he would send troops again in less than a year, and there must be a pair of invisible big hands pushing all this. But this is exactly what Zhao Wei wanted, and Lu Bu moved. Wuyang, Zitong, and Zhao Wei settled in these three places, either real or virtual, and suddenly emptied Chengdu's defense forces.

Now Pang Xi is trapped in Brazil, Zhang Ren is trapped in Runan, Xu Jing and Li Yan are rushing to Padang, and Chengdu has fallen into an unprecedented emptiness. The city's softest belly had been exposed, and the sharp spear had been set up, and with a slight stab, Zhao Wei could completely control Chengdu and its Guanghan to welcome Lü Bu into Shu. must be reused, these are all discussed by him and Lu Bu.

As early as two years ago, Lu Bu's fine work has entered Xishu, they have only one task, that is, to contact the Dongzhou Shilin of Xishu, as long as the Dongzhou Shilin of Xishu is willing to help Lu Bu sit in the position of the lord of Yizhou, after the completion of the reward, Meng Da is a Fufeng person, he is not only Fazheng's fellow countryman, but also Fazheng's friend, so when Lu Bu proposed this plan, Fazheng was the first to think of him, so he sent someone to capture Meng Da in a few words.

Fa Zheng said that Meng Da moved, Meng Da said that Pang Yi moved, Pang Yi said that Pang Le moved, Pang Le and Li Yi Zhao Wei's henchmen, they conveyed Lu Bu's careful thinking, and quickly got Zhao Wei's affirmation, so he began to plan this matter as early as when Liu Yan was seriously ill, and now Xichuan, in addition to the 150,000 soldiers and horses brought out by Leng Bao and Zhang Ren, the remaining 50,000 elite soldiers are all in his hands, and the most deadly of them is still stationed in the Pang Le Department.

"Step out of the fighting room tonight, and change your flag today!"

Zhao Wei glanced at the colleagues around him, each of them showed a fanatical expression, this is a kind of excitement from nervousness, but also the intoxication of the great cause, they slammed the wine glass on the ground, and raised their arms high: "Achieve a great cause, in one fell swoop!" ”

Wu Yi is nine feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, he is high-pitched and strong, he offended Liu Zhang because of his words, and was imprisoned by Liu Zhang some time ago, and was not released until recently.

Wu Yi walked all the way to Liu Zhang's mansion, according to the rules, this place is already within the forbidden range, and it should be surrounded by Liu Zhang's guards, and the people of the Liu family avoid going out. As soon as Wu Yi stepped in, he saw several guards leaning under the porch, throwing dice with a young man.

"Ahem!" Wu Yi suddenly coughed loudly.

Wu Yi's voice was thick, and the guards stood up in a hurry, and they didn't even bother to pick up their weapons. Wu Yi walked up to them with a calm face, carefully examined the young man's face, the young man was a little embarrassed to be stared at, and scratched his head: "General! ”

"The eldest prince, you are going to inherit the great cause of the lord in the future, how can you be like this!" Wu Yi's tone was a little regretful.

Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's eldest son, as gentle as his father, compared to the second son Liu Zha, he more or less lacks some majesty, this has always been a worry for some veterans in Shu, after all, the army respects the strong and despises the weak, Liu Zha used to follow Zhang Ren to practice martial arts, although Zhang Ren is no longer in the Sword Pavilion now, but Liu Zha will study martial arts hard almost every day, and this Liu Xun is now actually gambling in the forbidden, it is really too unusual, if it is not for Liu Zhang is waiting, he really wants to reprimand this stunned young man.

Wu Yi looked around, and found that there seemed to be more guards in the mansion today, and there seemed to be many faces of the Praetorian Guards in it, and his brows furrowed unnaturally, gambling in the forbidden period was just a bad character, if Liu Xun suddenly gained power, he didn't know the severity, and he used heavy troops to show off, it would be a serious political problem.

Liu Xun saw Wu Yi's doubts, and explained with a smile: "General Wu, this is what my father meant!" ”

Regarding this statement, Wu Yi did not say anything, but just advised: "The eldest prince should learn more scriptures and martial arts, and don't be too lazy!" ”

Liu Xun nodded again and again.

Wu Yi patted Liu Xun's shoulder, and then stepped into the main hall, Liu Xun turned around and waved his hand, and the interested guards dispersed, stood back at their posts, and surrounded the house where Liu Zhang lived, but if you look closely, you can find that these guards are distinct, the old guards are on one side, and the newly formed heart guards are on the other side, and the two sides ignore each other.

At the same time, Meng Da had already completed the initial assembly in the urn city south of Chengdu.

At this time, there were four relatively powerful soldiers and horses in Chengdu City: Meng Da's 400 troops, Liu Zhang's 300 janissary battalion, 200 guards and his son Liu Xun's 50 cavalry, and some guards or private soldiers in the official residences of other officials, adding up to a lot of people, but they were too scattered to be counted.

On the surface, Liu Zhang has at least 1,000 troops in his hands, which is more than enough for Zhao Wei Mengda's 400 people, but in fact, the largest part of them has fallen to Zhao Wei, and at this time, the military strength comparison in Chengdu City is actually Zhao Wei's 900 people against Liu Zhang's 500 people, not to mention that Liu Zhang's Praetorian Guards are scattered all over Chengdu, and they can't be clenched into fists if they can't be gathered together.

According to Zhao Wei's plan, Meng Da's deployment should be assembled before evening, and after sunset, the whole team went north along North Street and directly killed the Praetorian Guards located on the north side of Chengdu, as long as the Praetorian Guards were controlled, Chengdu would lose half of its strength.

At the same time that Meng Da encircled and suppressed the Praetorian Guard, Pang Le rushed in to the four gates with his hands in his hands to control the city gate as soon as possible, Liu Zhang ordered the four gates to be closed, but it helped Pang Le a lot, as soon as the mutiny was launched, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to open the city without authorization, so no one could leave Chengdu in a short time, and they could master Chengdu as soon as possible and surround Liu Zhang in the Assassin's Mansion.

Li Yi led most of the Praetorian Guards and more than a dozen rangers raised by Zhao Yun to rush to the west of the city to Wengcheng, which was the station of another part of the Praetorian Guard, led by Zhang Yi, the general of Shuzhong, in view of Zhang Yi and his strong combat effectiveness, they would surround but not annihilate, and wait for Meng Da to sweep the remnants of the enemy in the city and rush to attack it, and defeat the outnumbered.

As for Zhao Wei, they will rush directly to Liu Zhang's mansion with the officials of the Yongliang department, and when the overall situation is decided, they will welcome Liu Zhang's youngest son Liu Zha as the lord of Yizhou, and then the overall situation will be certain, they will transfer Pang Yi's 50,000 troops in Zitong to garrison Chengdu, and hold on to Chengdu City for a month, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bu's army.

As the most important part of the whole plan, whether Meng Da can gather troops is the key to the operation, they nominally belong to the guards, dozens of groups in the divided city are scattered all over Chengdu, Meng Da in order to gather them together without arousing the suspicion of the Jingzhou faction, in the name of sound, asked them to go to the south of the urn city to collect it uniformly.

As a result, his subordinates gathered slower than expected, seeing that Luoyang was about to fall, they only gathered less than 500 people, in order to avoid attracting attention, they did not go to the arsenal to collect soldiers, most of them wore coarse linen clothes, and the weapons in their hands were only wooden guns for city defense, and there were only dozens of short knives.
