When Yan Yan led his troops to attack Jiameng Pass, it was when Zhang Ren led the army to counterattack Chengdu. However, a few days later, the bad news came one after another, first Zhang Ren's more than 200,000 troops were defeated in the hilly area of dozens of miles north of Chengdu, and more than half of the losses were lost, almost at the same time, Yang Ren Yang Ang led nearly 70,000 Han Chinese troops to surrender to Xu Huang, and then, Zhang Ren was defeated under the city of Xichong and retreated to the mountains, and soon after, Zhang Ren died in battle, and the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out!

Just when Yan Yan was at a loss, suddenly another herald came to report that Pang Deshuai's 10,000 cavalry had broken through Hanchang!

Yan Yan was so shocked that he couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly returned to Hanchang with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

However, as soon as the soldiers and horses reached the halfway point, they encountered a sudden ambush, and the army was in chaos, and after a scuffle between the two sides, Yan Yan retreated to a small nearby county town with the remaining thousands of soldiers. The county seat is called Bachuan, surrounded by lofty mountains, and is a small county town with only more than 10,000 people.

Zhang Lang tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded the small city of Bachuan.

Zhang Lang only brought dozens of horsemen to the city gate, and shouted: "Yan Yan, come out and speak!" ”

A moment later, the city gate opened, and Yan Yan only rushed out of the city with dozens of horsemen, confronting Zhang Langyao.

Zhang Lang said: "Old general, do you know the current shape? ”

Yan Yan snorted coldly, "Lu Bu, you offended me Bashu for no reason, I want to fight you to the death!" Yuluo slapped his horse and danced the knife towards Zhang Lang, and his posture was the same as that of Zhang Ren before.

Zhang Lang sighed in his heart and urged the horse to fight. The two sides exchanged knives and halberds, and after five rounds of confrontation, Yan Yan couldn't resist the enemy, and he was shocked in his heart, and secretly said: Humanity is 'Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses', and it really deserves its name! Yan Yan had a heart to die in his heart, and he was not afraid, he desperately slashed out a knife, Zhang Lang swung Yan Yan's big knife with Fang Tian's halberd, Yan Yan's whole person leaned back, and almost fell off the horse! As soon as he sat down, he saw Zhang Lang suddenly running in front of him, he was taken aback, and when he wanted to make a move, he was caught by the other party and grabbed by Le Jiaqi.

Yan Yan's dozens of horsemen were frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed back to the city, and the city wall was also a panicked scene.

Zhang Lang returned to the camp with Yan Yan.

Several hussars escorted Yan Yan into the big tent, "Kneel!" One of the hussars shouted.

Yan Yan glanced at the hussar, twisted his head, and ignored it. The hussar was furious and was about to make a move, but at this moment, Zhang Lang said: "Don't be rude, retreat!" The hussars clenched their fists at Zhang Lang and withdrew from the big tent.

Zhang Lang got up and walked behind Yan Yan and personally untied the rope for him. Yan Yan didn't say a word, turned around and walked outside. Zhang Lang hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

"Guillotine!"

Zhang Lang smiled: "I didn't say I wanted to kill you!" ”

Yan Yan turned around, glared and raised his eyebrows and shouted, "It's impossible for me to surrender!" Kill me! ”

Zhang Lang frowned, "Are you so loyal to Liu Zhang?" ”

Yan Yan snorted coldly, "What is Liu Zhang?" The reason why I, Yan Yan, fought on the battlefield, is nothing more than for the fathers and elders in Sichuan! Now that the war is defeated, there is only one way to apologize for the sins with death! ”

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Does the old general think that Chuanzhong will be inferior to Liu Zhang under my governance?" Yan Yan frowned and did not speak.

"Old General, do you know who I am?"

Yan Yan glanced at Zhang Lang, "Of course I know, Wenhou Lu Bu, the Great Han Hussar General!" ”

Zhang Lang said with a smile: "According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, all the soldiers and horses in the world are under my control, and your old general is actually my subordinate after all!" Yan Yan Yiyi, thinking about it, felt that what he said was indeed like this, but if there is chaos today, where do you care about these things, they all speak according to their strength.

"If the old general is really a loyal servant, he should not die, but serve me! The old general is full of martial arts, doesn't he want to make a contribution? Don't want to play a peaceful and prosperous world? ”

The blood in Yan Yan's chest couldn't help but surge.

Seeing this, Zhang Lang stepped forward to grab Yan Yan, returned to the tent, and announced loudly: "From today on, General Yan Yan will be the Sima of Yizhou and be responsible for the defense of Yizhou!" ”

Yan Yan was shocked, "This, how can this be made?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I believe in the old general!" No matter how simple a sentence was, Yan Yan was particularly moved, knelt down and bowed: "The veteran is willing to serve the dogs and horses!" ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed and helped Yan Yan up.

Yan Yan went out, and all the thousands of remnants in the city went out of the city and surrendered. Subsequently, Yan Yan was ordered to appease all the passes and cities in Ba County, and all Ba County surrendered to Zhang Lang.

After Shun Lì got Ba County, Zhang Lang left Xu Huang to guard Ba County, and he took Yan Yan and other generals to cross the Dianjiang River and return to Xichong City, and only rested for one night, and then led the army to Chengdu.

In today's situation, the main force of Liu Zhang's army no longer exists, and the entire northern counties of Yizhou have all fallen into the hands of Zhang Lang, leaving the southern counties of Yizhou. At this time, Yizhou was much larger than most people think, including most of today's Sichuan Province, including all of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, and the northern part of Myanmar today.

Zhang Lang himself sat in Chengdu, so that Yan Yan and Zhang Song shuai tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers went south, and in just one month, he pocketed the subject country of Shu County, Jianwei County, most of Yuejun County, and most of Qiqi County in the south, Yan Yan and Zhang Song almost did not encounter resistance, it is no wonder that the trees fell and scattered, the overall situation of Yizhou was decided, and no one was willing to lose their lives for Liu Zhang, whose life and death were unknown.

Subsequently, those Taishou and local tribal leaders in the Nanzhong region sent envoys to express their willingness to surrender to Zhang Lang, so that the whole of Yizhou completely fell into Zhang Lang's hands, at least on the surface.

That night, Zhang Lang stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, recalling this journey, feeling like a dream.

"General." Zhang Song's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Zhang Lang retracted his thoughts and turned around, "It's Yongnian!" ”

Zhang Song said: "Listening to what the lord said today, it seems that he has the intention of taking advantage of the victory to go south to the south? ”

Zhang Lang nodded.

Zhang Song hurriedly said: "The lord of this matter still has to think twice!" ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"The lord doesn't know, Nanzhong is different from other places in Yizhou, although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of Yizhou, in fact, there are local barbarian autonomy, these barbarians are brave and warlike, and the environment in Nanzhong is extremely dangerous, although the general's iron-blooded division is strong, but it is not suitable for the environment of Nanzhong, if you rashly use troops, you are only afraid of ......!"

Zhang Lang frowned slightly and showed a look of thought, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Song said: "Now it is only appropriate to appease, not to use troops, and continue to implement Liu Zhang's policy!" ”

Zhang Lang hesitated, "I know what Yongnian means, I need to think about it!" ”

Zhang Song said with some concern: "In this matter, the general must be cautious!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "I see." It's not early, so let's go back and rest. ”

Zhang Song saluted Zhang Lang and left.
