Liu Ze, who received the news of breaking Deyang, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took Deyang City before the arrival of reinforcements from the Sichuan army, the significance of this battle is extraordinary, if Deyang is not broken, the Jing army will be contained in the west of Fushui under Deyang City, and it is extremely difficult to have an active area for the encirclement and suppression of the Sichuan army on several roads, and now take Deyang, the whole shape will immediately change, whether it is to take Ba County in the east or Chengdu in the west, the Jing army will firmly grasp the initiative, and this game of chess is finally alive.

Liu Ze rushed into the city, he did not break his promise, held a feast in Deyang City, celebrated Sun Guan's merits, was the first soldier of Sun Guan, and moved forward bravely, this time he won Deyang City, Sun Guan was the first hero. Liu Ze's reward for Sun Guan will naturally not be as simple as setting up a banquet, promoting Sun Guan to the rank of deputy general, and the title is promoted two levels in a row, from the first-class viscount to the second-class earl, in addition to the rewards of gold and silk, the reward is extremely generous.

But no one is envious and jealous of Sun Guan, these honors and rewards, after all, Sun Guan fought hard, the reward mechanism of the Jing Army is determined by the amount of military merits, the more military merits, the thicker the reward, as long as you can kill the enemy on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, Liu Ze has never been stingy with rewards.

The fact that I was able to drink this wine today was completely due to the inventory of Deyang City, otherwise with the Jing army running thousands of miles, how could there be wine to celebrate. As a fortress in Sichuan, Deyang City is still extremely rich in grain and grass reserves, enough for Yang Huai and Gao Pei's 5,000 troops to eat for half a year, and now these grains and grass have fallen into Liu Ze's hands, which can be regarded as a slight solution to Liu Ze's urgent need.

The long post road in Nanzhong, the transportation of grain and grass is extremely difficult, and the grain and grass delivered by Wu Ju, the assassin of Jiaozhou, can only maintain the minimum demand of 50,000 troops, and the soldiers are not full at all, and they can barely wrap their stomachs. Although the capture of Dianchi City and Sanjiang City. The Jing army obtained some grain and grass supplements, but after leaving Jiangyang, the supply line of grain and grass in Jiaozhou was cut off, and the 50,000 army could only eat the enemy.

When the feast is in full swing. Pan Feng hurriedly came up to report: "Lord Qiqi, the Sichuan Army's Liu Bi Department and Li Yan's Department are approaching Deyang along the east and west banks of Fushui, and they are currently less than two hundred miles away from Deyang. ”

"It's coming so fast!" As soon as Liu Ze picked up his wine glass, he received Pan Feng's latest military intelligence report, he smiled and said majestically.

The generals below were not as calm as Liu Ze, and as soon as they took Deyang, the Sichuan army followed. It seemed that the movements of the Sichuan army were quite fast, and the air in the banquet immediately became tense.

Liu Ze smiled indifferently, raised his glass and said: "The enemy army is still two hundred miles away, and it will take two days to reach Deyang at the earliest, so why let this news ruin the atmosphere of the banquet." Come, drink together, get drunk today, and tell the armies to rest. It's not too late to fight again tomorrow! ”

This celebration feast has been drunk until late at night, since the expedition. The generals of the Jing army have never had such a good time, although the enemy army is approaching, but Liu Ze's calmness still infected everyone, and the atmosphere of the banquet is also quite harmonious, but everyone has not drunk until now.

When the generals are gone. Liu Ze summoned Zhuge Liang and ordered the attendants to serve tea, and Liu Ze and Zhuge Liang talked while tasting tea.

"The Sichuan army is chasing after it, how do you think the military adviser should deal with it?" Liu Ze said calmly to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea and said, "Our army is alone. There is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, so they can only maneuver between the enemy troops, looking for opportunities to destroy the enemy, and do not focus on the gains and losses of one city or one place. Although Deyang is an important town in Sichuan, it is not a place for our army to stay, in the opinion of Liang, our army should take the initiative to jump out of the enemy's encirclement, detour back to the enemy's flank, choose its weaker and attack it, when the conditions are ripe, you can attack in the direction of White Emperor City. ”

Liu Ze smiled and said: "The military advisor is slightly the same as what I see, although Deyang is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time, and trapping in a lonely city is the way to die." Liu Xuan and Li Yanbing were united, marching north along the Fushui, seemingly invulnerable, but they did not know that the Fushui spring tide was flooding, and it was not easy to cross, and the two armies were sandwiched by the river, and the left and right could not take care of each other, which was a good opportunity for our army to break the enemy. Li Yan has few soldiers, and this time he just hit it first. ”

The next day, Liu Ze destroyed Deyang City and led his army southward, preparing to give the Sichuan army Li Yanbu a head-on attack.

After Liu Bi arrived in Jiangyang, Li Yan's troops were also killed from Ba County, and because the scouts sent out were repeatedly assassinated by the Jing army, the Sichuan army has not been able to grasp the latest movements of the Jing army.

Since they could not figure out the movements of the Jing army, Liu Bi and Li Yan could only stand still and once again sent a large number of scouts to explore the traces of the Jing army.

But this way is purely looking for a needle in a haystack, the soldiers are fast, the fighter is fleeting, the longer they are in Jiangyang, the more unfavorable the shape will be to the Sichuan army, Zhang Ren resolutely opposed, and said: "Our army is attacked by the east and west, Liu Ze only has two channels to go in the north and south, and he will cross the Yangtze River to the south and return to Nanzhong, this is the road when Liu Ze came, and it is impossible to turn back, only to the north is the only way out for Liu Ze, in my opinion, Liu Ze will definitely take Deyang in the north and break the siege of our army." The two generals, must not hesitate again, it is advisable to march quickly and encircle and annihilate Liu Ze under the city of Deyang, otherwise let Liu Ze capture Deyang, and it will be us who will be passive. ”

Zhang Ren's construction has been mentioned before, but it still hasn't attracted Liu Xuan's attention. "The city wall of Deyang is strong, and Yang Huai Gaopei leads the troops to garrison, if Liu Ze is not in the water in his head, it will never be possible to provoke this hard bone, Liu Ze will inevitably bypass Deyang and attack other places, he will never be so stupid as to be surrounded by us under Deyang City and have no way to advance and retreat."

Zhang Ren was really speechless, it seems that it could not be Liu Ze's head but the head of this boss who entered the water, Liu Ze has used countless facts to prove what it means to know that he can't do it, and how can a small Deyang City stop him.

Li Yan pondered for a moment, thinking that Zhang Ren's words were still somewhat reliable. "What Zizhong said, there is also some truth, now it seems that Liu Ze cannot cross south, only the way to the north, even if he does not attack Deyang, he will definitely attack other counties, our army should follow and advance, and we must not miss the opportunity."

Li Yan is the leader of the Dongzhou faction, and his status in Yizhou is quite high, this time he marched into Jiangyang, although Li Yan did not have as many soldiers as Liu Bi, but the positions of the two were parallel, and there was no question of who ruled whom, so naturally his opinion Liu Bi had to consider more. So the Sichuan army immediately set up camp and marched to Wangdeyang.

With Zhang Ren's Jianyi, the two Sichuan armies should be united and huddled together, so as to avoid being broken by the Jing army. However, his construction was opposed by Liu Xuan and Li Yan at the same time.

Zhang Ren's military talent is outstanding, he is ahead of the enemy's opportunities, and he is strategizing, but his political intelligence is pitiful, of course, this is related to his humble background, and he has never been involved in the power disputes of the major factions in Yizhou. In his opinion, the 70,000 Sichuan army is hugged together, twisted into a rope, can be attacked, retreated can be defended, even if Liu Ze has a big appetite, it is impossible to eat these 70,000 horses at once, if they march by different routes, they are likely to be broken by Liu Ze individually.

Zhang Ren simply considered the marching plan from a military point of view, but he didn't know how to distribute the command of the army, originally Liu Xuan and Li Yan were respectively ordered by Liu Zhang, each leading a group of people, the status of the two is parallel, after the army is united, who will exercise the supreme command of this army, obviously a big problem. Therefore, Liu Bi and Li Yan tacitly agreed with each other, and coincidentally rejected Zhang Ren's plan to join the army, and finally agreed that Liu Bi would lead his troops to the west bank of Fushui, and Li Yan would lead his troops to the east bank of Fushui, and then meet the division when they arrived at the foot of Deyang City.

In the eyes of Liu Bi and Li Yan, Zhang Ren's worries were superfluous, the two armies were advancing in the middle of the river, and the figures of each other could be seen and heard, even if one side was attacked, the other side could help.

But they all ignored the flooding water, although the two armies were close at hand, but if they wanted to cross the water to help, they tried to climb to the sky.

Soon after leaving Jiangyang, Liu Bi and Li Yan received the news that the Jing army was besieging Deyang, and it seemed that Zhang Ren's judgment was very accurate, so Liu Bi and Li Yan each urged their troops and horses, and went straight to Deyang. The Jing army besieged Deyang Buke, this news was like a heart booster for Liu Bi and Li Yan, which made them excited, as long as the troops entered Deyang, Liu Ze could be broken overnight.

However, it is said that when Li Yan led his army to Yuping Mountain, he saw the dense forests and treacherous roads here, and he was terrified, and ordered the army to be on guard and beware of ambushes.

As soon as his order was delivered, he heard the sound of the cannon in the middle of the mountain, and a group of men and horses were killed, and the general who led the army was Chen Dao, the deputy governor of the Jing army. Chen Zhi rode a dark red sweaty horse, and immediately said with a smile: "General Li, Chen has been waiting here for a long time." ”

Li Yan was shocked, and ordered the army to stop advancing, shrink the formation, and change the army to a defensive formation, and greeted Chen Zhi with a spear, shouting: "Since you have come to send you to death, you will not blame me for being ruthless under the gun." In Li Yan's opinion, Liu Ze's main force must besiege Deyang City hundreds of miles away, and send a group of men and horses to ambush in Yuping Mountain, but he just wanted to block the reinforcements, Li Yan didn't pay too much attention to it, and stepped forward and fought with Chen Zhi.

The two exchanged guns and exchanged guns, fought viciously, and fought for more than 30 rounds without winning or losing. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the flank of the Sichuan army, and Zhao Yun led countless men and horses to kill them.

Li Yan couldn't help but feel frightened, and said secretly: Could it be that Deyang has been lost? (To be continued......)
