In the face of Liu Zhang's criticism, the most embarrassing thing is naturally that the central capital protects Wu Yi, as the supreme commander of the East Road Sichuan Army, Wu Yi naturally has to bear the main responsibility for the miscommand this time. Wu Yi secretly glanced at Zhang Ren on the right, only Zhang Ren had raised objections when he was the White Emperor, Wu Yi was afraid that Zhang Ren would have a statement in front of Liu Zhang at this time, and he looked good at Zhang Ren's expression, and he didn't mean to complain to Liu Zhang, Wu Yi couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, stood with his hands down, and said: "Liu Ze is scheming, and we are also thinking that the Lord is in danger, so I rushed back to Chengdu in the starry night, but I fell into Liu Ze's trap, please punish the Lord Gong." ”

Liu Zhang sighed, it is useless to hold anyone accountable now, now Liu Ze is gone, and he can't catch up, and now Liu Zhang is only worried about defending the empty White Emperor City.

The lord Bo Huangquan accompanied Liu Zhang out of the city and persuaded: "Although Liu Ze has gone east, he has only traveled three or two days early, and if our army catches up, it may not be much behind." There are still 20,000 horses and horses guarded by Yan Taishou in the White Emperor City, and the city is strong and dangerous, not to mention that Yan Taishou is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, even if Liu Ze attacks strongly, he may not be able to succeed lightly. When my main army arrives, the inside and the outside should be combined, and Liu Ze will definitely be annihilated under the White Emperor City. ”

Wu Yi also generously asked for orders at this time: "The last general is willing to lead a large army to aid the White Emperor, and ensure that the White Emperor will not be lost!" Wu Yi was in a hurry to make up for his mistakes.

At this point, Liu Zhang had no choice but to nod and agree to Wu Yi leading his troops back to the White Emperor.

At this time, Zhang Ren arched his hand and said: "Lord Qi, there will be a word that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Wu Yi chuckled in his heart, wanting something bad. Could it be that Zhang Ren wanted to poke out the previous incident, he couldn't help but be a little nervous and a little annoyed, and glanced at Zhang Ren fiercely.

Zhang Ren turned a blind eye to it, and said calmly: "When our army rushed back to Chengdu, it was already a starry night. The soldiers are already exhausted, and it may be difficult to maintain the previous speed when they advance eastward this time, and Liu Ze's army is waiting for labor and recuperation in the suburbs of Chengdu, and the speed of eastward advance must be faster than our army, and our army wants to catch up, but it is beyond our strength. Liu Ze strategized, dared to overtake others, and made a decision before acting. This eastward march to the White Emperor City, I am afraid that it has already been planned, such as mobilizing the troops of Yiling, flanking the front and back, or I am afraid that the White Emperor City will have fallen before our reinforcements arrive. ”

Wu Yi said angrily: "How can General Zhang grow other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige, Yan Taishou has been good at fighting for a long time." Even with a small number of enemies, relying on the strong defense of White Emperor City. It is not difficult to defend for ten days and a half months, and at that time, my reinforcements are coming, how can the White Emperor City be lost? General Zhang is not stingy with praise for Liu Ze, could it be that he has the heart to betray the master and vote for others? ”

Zhang Ren said calmly: "It's just a matter of talking about things, Ren is a Shu person, and he would rather die than surrender!" What I just said. I didn't say that the White Emperor City would definitely not be able to hold it, but it was just that it might not be able to hold it, but I just hoped that the lord could make preparations with both hands, and in case the real White Emperor City was lost, there would be a way to deal with it. ”

Liu Zhang nodded. Zhang Ren takes precautions, but there is nothing wrong with it, real celebrities always make the most active preparations for the worst, Liu Zhang is dark but not confused, he also understands these truths, he wants to hear Zhang Ren's opinion, and said with interest: "What is Zizhong's good strategy, you might as well speak up?" ”

Zhang Rendao: "The reason why Liu Ze was able to gallop across the Shu land as if entering a no-man's land was because our army had lost Deyang and could not effectively intercept the Jing army's interspersed attacks, so that Liu Ze detoured on the water again and again, while our army was tired of running for his life and taking care of one thing and losing the other. The last general believed that Deyang was the hub of central Sichuan, and controlling a city could block Liu Ze's eastward march to the west. Now that Deyang has been abandoned and destroyed by Liu Ze, the lord can send troops to rebuild Deyang City, even if the White Emperor City is lost, the Jing army will enter Sichuan in a big way, and Deyang can be defended, so as to ensure that Chengdu is not attacked. ”

Liu Zhang nodded appreciatively, what Zhang Ren said is indeed very reasonable, it is precisely because of the loss of Deyang that Liu Ze has the opportunity to go back and forth in the land of Sichuan like this, unscrupulously. So Liu Zhang sent 20,000 horses under the command of Zhang Ren to Deyang to repair the city and consolidate the defense. The rest of the men and horses continued to be led by Wu Yi, Liu Bi, and Li Yan, and quickly reinforced the White Emperor.

This is like a long-distance marathon, with the Jing army in front and the Sichuan army behind, you chase after me, and the two sides are desperately moving towards the finish line. Although the Sichuan army has the advantage of being familiar with the terrain and suitable for mountain combat, the long-distance march from Baidi to Chengdu has exhausted the body of the Sichuan army, and almost all the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan army are already exhausted, and their legs are like being filled with lead.

The Jing army is full of energy and high morale, although this kind of mountainous terrain is not the area that the Jing army is good at, but Liu Ze's unremitting grasp of the army's physical fitness still highlights the miraculous effect at this moment, with the speed of infantry comparable to cavalry, even when the Sichuan army is sufficient, it cannot be matched. After only a few days of rapid marching, the Jing army had already left the Sichuan army far behind, and in this marathon contest, needless to say, the Jing army was also the final winner.

After crossing the water, the Jing army rushed all the way eastward, passed through the ditch, and rushed in the direction of the White Emperor City. Now the entire eastern Sichuan region, except for Yan Yan stationed in the White Emperor City, has almost become an undefended area, and the Jing army is like entering a no-man's land, driving for a long time.

When arriving at Quren, Liu Ze released a few carrier pigeons, the snow-white pigeons quickly disappeared between the blue sky and white clouds, the Yangtze River is very fast, if you take a boat, you can return thousands of miles to Jiangling in a day, but the flight speed of the carrier pigeon is much faster than that of the ship, it will not take a few hours, these carrier pigeons will fly to Jiangling, and bring information to Huang Zhong, Xu Rong, and Gan Ning, who have been guarding Jiangling.

Although the east of Sichuan is empty, Liu Ze does not think that only 50,000 Jing troops without heavy siege equipment can easily conquer the White Emperor City, and if you want to take the White Emperor City, you must cooperate with the outside and attack from both sides, so that it is possible to take the White Emperor City in the shortest possible time. The realm was very urgent for Liu Ze, although he successfully left Wu Yi and Liu Bi behind, but Liu Ze knew that this was only temporary, if he couldn't take the White Emperor City in a short time, the Sichuan army would follow, and at that time, I am afraid that there would be a heavy change in the shape of the city.

That's why Liu Ze asked the Jing army in Jiangling to immediately march from the land route of Yiling and the water route of the Xiajiang River at the same time, and launch a fatal blow against the defenders of the White Emperor City.

The plan for the march of Yiling had been formulated long before Liu Ze entered Sichuan, and the plan was divided into two parts, land and water, and the land route was composed of two divisions of the First Army Corps and four divisions of the Eighth Army Corps, and advanced along the old road of Yiling to the White Emperor City. The waterway was specially organized by the navy of the Seventh Army Corps, and the water of the Gorge River was dangerous, and it was against the current, and the large building ships and battleships such as Yangwei were basically impassable, so in the selection of warships, the Mengchong fighting ships were the mainstay.

Gan Ning was born in Shu, since he was a child in the Yangtze River to make a living, the understanding of the Xiajiang River and the Shuzhong water system can be said to be well understood, this time the Jinfan is next to the Sichuan River, but Gan Ning has the feeling of returning home. However, Gan Ning did not dare to be careless, although he had the navigation map of the Xiajiang River given by Liu Ze, and he was familiar with the waterways of the Yangtze River, but Gan Ning was also very cautious in leading such a large fleet to Yizhou. The battleship could not enter the Sichuan, and the attack of the navy was weakened a lot, Gan Ning thought about it, dismantled some of the gunwales on the battleship, and installed them on the Mengchong fighting ship, although each Mengchong can only install one bronze gun, but the Mengchong fighting ship is like a cloud, gathered together, it is also magnificent.

After the flying pigeon passed the book, it was not surprising that the Jing army in Yiling on land and water would definitely be able to rush to the White Emperor City to join Liu Ze within three days, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Qutang Gorge, Liu Ze did not believe that this projectile city could hold on for long.
