Liu Zhang stepped on the horse, clamped the horse's belly violently, and the Dongzhou soldiers swarmed behind him, Zhang Ren saw this, and could only pick up the gun and get on the horse, and followed Liu Zhang, Wang Lei and a group of civil officials were stunned in place, Wang Lei said to Fa Zheng: "Filial piety, what should we do?" ”

Fa Zheng laughed and said: "Naturally, you should go back to sort out government affairs and settle the people of Fucheng, I'll go sleep first." After Fa Zheng finished speaking, he put down his robe and went back to the inner city comfortably.

Liu Zhang took Zhang Ren to lead 10,000 Dongzhou soldiers to pursue Zhao Wei, Zhao Yun's more than 20,000 soldiers dragged down, tired to death, either surrendered or scattered, and then Huang Quan was incorporated all the way, and finally Zhao Yun only left more than 3,000 people to flee to Jiangzhou in embarrassment.

Zhang Ren said to Liu Zhang while galloping his horse: "Lord, Jiangzhou is Zhao Wei's lair, if he is allowed to enter Jiangzhou, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort to win, and it will also affect the people of Jiangzhou." ”

Liu Zhang was an acting student in his previous life, he had acted in circus, and he could ride horses, but he was bumpy all day, and his ass still felt a little unbearable, and he relied on the idea of killing Zhao Wei.

Listening to Zhang Ren's words, Liu Zhang frowned and thought about it, if Zhao Wei was allowed to enter Jiangzhou, it would indeed be a big trouble, but the southern part of Yizhou was basically controlled by Zhao Wei, and he had no available troops at all, how to prevent Zhao Yun from entering Jiangzhou.

But suddenly Liu Zhang remembered someone and said to Zhang Ren: "General Zhang, do you know a person named Yan Yan?" ”

Zhang Ren thought for a while and said: "The last general knows, this person is a veteran of Bashu, nearly fifty years old, good at opening a hard bow, making a big knife, has the courage of ten thousand people, can be called the first fierce general in southern Shu, and is currently the Taishou of Bajun." ”

"Great." Liu Zhang's heart was happy, this Yan Yan is a famous loyal man in the Three Kingdoms, the biography of Romance said that he would rather be a decapitated general than a surrender general, and finally was influenced by Zhang Fei Enyi and surrendered to Liu Bei, and in the official history, Yan Yan's image is much higher, Yan Yan was regarded as a guest by Zhang Fei, but after hearing that Chengdu surrendered, Yan Yan committed suicide and became a decapitated general.

At this point, Liu Zhang is more willing to believe in the official history, Yan Yan is also a figure who can fight with Zhang Fei for dozens of times, why did such a tiger general appear once when Liu Bei entered Shu, and there was nothing to do with him later, there is only one explanation, that is, after Liu Bei entered Yizhou, Yan Yan died.

Liu Zhang immediately said to Zhang Ren: "If Zhao Wei wants to enter Jiangzhou, he must pass through Ba County, General Zhang, you immediately send fast horses to Ba County and order Yan Yan to intercept." ”

Zhang Ren frowned and said: "Lord, Yan Yan, as the Taishou of Bajun, is also a subordinate of Zhao Wei, will he intercept?" ”

Liu Zhang chuckled: "Even if he doesn't volley, we don't have a loss, do we?" Yan Yan is such a loyal person, Liu Zhang doesn't believe that he is bent on following Zhao Wei, even if the official history of the wild history is false, Liu Zhang also decided to gamble.

On the third pole of the day, Zhao Wei led 3,000 remnants of the defeated army to flee to Ba County non-stop, the sergeants were tired, but saw the soldiers in the city Jia Senhan, Pang Le stepped forward and shouted: "Zhengdong Zhonglang will Zhao Wei here, and the generals who defend the city will quickly open the city." ”

At this time, a general stood up in the city, carrying a hard bow and a long knife in his hand, and shouted in the city: "Zhao Wei betrayed the lord, Yan Yan was ordered to intercept, and the rebels under the city quickly abandoned their weapons and surrendered." ”

Zhao Wei was furious, and stepped forward and shouted: "Old horseman, seeing the wind and rudder, you are my subordinate Zhao Wei, and you are extremely shameless to do something rebellious today." ”

Yan Yan laughed loudly at the head of the city: "General Zhao, you have lost your words, Yan is not your Zhao Yun's retainer, but a subordinate of the state pastor, Yan is twenty in the army, loyal to the Han court, when the first lord Liu Yan has not yet entered Shu, Yan said to General Zhao how to rebel, General Zhao betrayed the lord and besieged the Yizhou Mu of the imperial court, that is the real traitor, you can be captured, Yan will not hurt your life." ”

"Old Pitch." Zhao Wei scolded and was about to attack the city, Li Yi hurriedly persuaded him: "Lord, Yan Yan is guarding according to the danger, our army is tired and can no longer fight, so let's retreat." ”

Zhao Wei said sadly: "Jiangzhou is my base camp, if you want to go to Jiangzhou, you must pass through Ba County, now that Yan Yan is blocking here, where else can we withdraw?" ”

Li Yi said: "The lord forgot that Wuxi is barbaric? We sent them a lot of benefits before sending troops, and it was Liu Zhang who has been ordering to attack them, those barbarians are short-sighted, but the grievances are clear, if we go, they will definitely take in, the barbarian village is steep, Liu Zhang will not dare to attack, when the time comes, we will borrow the power of the barbarian army, and introduce Jingzhou soldiers to help, may not be able to make a comeback. ”

Zhao Wei groaned slightly, and said loudly: "Okay, just do it." Immediately turned the horse's head and retreated to the east, Yan Yan in the city saw that Zhao Wei was going to run, and immediately waved his army to kill, those rebels who fled for a day and a night, and could not rest for a moment were slashed and killed, and the ten pavilions went to the eight pavilions, and Zhao Yun fled to the wild land with hundreds of defeated soldiers in embarrassment.

Liu Zhang rushed to Ba County with a large army, and Yan Yan personally went out of the city to greet him.

"The last general, Yan Yan, see the lord."

"Have you ever intercepted Zhao Wei?"

Yan Yan lowered his head and said: "The last general is ashamed, he was fled east by Zhao Wei, and the last general is afraid that Bajun will lose, so he doesn't dare to chase after him, so please forgive the lord." ”

Zhang Ren said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, the east of Ba County is a wild land, and Zhao Wei is going to take refuge in Wuximan." ”

Liu Zhang nodded and said to Yan Yan: "The old general did the right thing, now this official has appointed you as the captain of the Fu Military Academy, leading the Jiangzhou Taishou, and full-time to incorporate Zhao Wei's rebels and maintain law and order in southern Shu." ”

Yan Yan has been in the army for nearly 30 years, and has worked in the post of Bajun Taishou for more than ten years, whether Liu Yan entered Shu, Liu Yan entered Yizhou, or Liu Zhang was in power, his position as Bajun Taishou was untouchable, and a warm heart slowly cooled when he was young. Yan Yan only thought that he was going to die of old age in this position, but he didn't expect to be promoted by Liu Zhang today, so he couldn't help but be grateful, and leaned down and bowed: "Yan Yan bows to the lord and will live up to the lord's trust." ”

Liu Zhang nodded, Le Ma went east, Zhang Ren caught up with Liu Zhang and said: "The lord is really prescient, Yan Yan is really a loyal general, but now Zhao Yun has fled to the wilderness, the roads in the Wuxi area are difficult to travel, and there are barbarians to attack and harass, and Zhao Wei only has hundreds of defeated troops, which no longer poses a threat, and the last general feels that there is no need to pursue." ”

Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "It doesn't pose a threat anymore? General Zhang, don't you know that Zhao Wei has commanded the army for many years and is deeply entrenched in the south of Yizhou? If we relax a little, he will make a comeback, and then Shunan will be in chaos again, so even if Zhao Wei only has one person left, it is also a threat to us, and if we don't uproot it, how can we go north to Hanzhong and east to resist Jingxiang? ”

"The lord is already preparing to attack Hanzhong?" Zhang Ren said in surprise.

Liu Zhang said: "Hanzhong was originally the territory of Yizhou, it was stolen by the rice thief Zhang Lu, and if it is not taken back, how can it be worthy of the imperial court, but now is not the time to discuss Hanzhong, let's take a look at how to kill Zhao Wei first." ”
