"As soon as the rebels captured Chengdu, they elected Fan Ben as the emperor, and the action is really fast!" Hua An was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chengdu was lost, Zhou Fu fled, Fan Ben was called emperor, a series of major events happened in a very short period of time, which made Hua'an somewhat confused, and even, some regretted the original decision, if it were not for his own selfish worship, Yizhou's shape would never have become what it is now.

Seeing that Hua An sighed a little, Xie Siming stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "General, it was all the wrong decision-making of the lower officials, which caused Chengdu to fall into the hands of the rebels, and the lower officials are guilty." After speaking, he looked like he was pleading.

"General, Xiaguan failed to gain insight into the rebels' conspiracy, which caused a mutation in Yizhou's shape, and Xiaguan is also guilty." Zhang Yu also followed with a fist and pleaded guilty.

Hua An waved his hand and said: "Chengdu was attacked overnight, and no one would have thought of it suddenly, how can I blame you?" ”

Seeing that Hua An didn't mean to blame himself, Zhang Yu and Xie Siming glanced at each other, stood up and retreated to both sides of the big tent.

"Fan Ben, why did the rebels elect Fan Ben as the emperor, who is this Fan Ben, and how much do you know about this person." Hua An looked at Zhang Yu and Xie Siming and asked softly.

When Xie Siming heard this, he replied: "General, this Fan Ben is the son of Fan Changsheng, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, Fan Changsheng himself is erudite and knowledgeable, loves the people, died at the age of nearly 100, and is respected as a god by the people of Shu, and his son Fan Ben is also a modest and virtuous corporal, and has a lot of prestige in Shu. ”

"Yes! General, this Fan Ben has a lot of prestige in Shu, if he is allowed to develop. In a few years, Yizhou will no longer be the territory of the Great Jin, but a steel knife behind the Great Jin! Zhang Yu said meaningfully.

Hua An nodded, and said: "The rebels use Fan Ben to win the hearts of the people, and the shape is extremely unfavorable to our Great Jin, and we must not let it have a chance to develop, our army should immediately march into Chengdu and eliminate the rebels." ”

Seeing that Hua'an was going to send troops to Chengdu immediately, Xie Siming hugged his fists and said: "The rebels have just captured Chengdu, and their morale is booming. And the strength is above our army. The general's march into Chengdu should be carefully planned before he can win calmly. ”

"Lord Xie is right, the general should formulate a detailed counterinsurgency plan according to the deployment of the rebels. to be sure of victory. Zhang Yu followed Jian Yì and said.

Hua An waved his hand. He said softly: "The soldier is fast. Now our army should march immediately, Fucheng is three hundred miles away from Chengdu, and it will take three days to march urgently. On the way, Ben would have had plenty of time to think about counterinsurgency plans. ”

Seeing that Hua'an's analysis was reasonable, Xie Siming and Zhang Yu glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Hua'an summoned the generals of the department, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the latest form of Yizhou shì told again, the generals of the department heard that Chengdu was lost, Fan Ben called the emperor, most of them expressed extreme anger, and immediately asked to march into Chengdu to suppress the rebellion.

Based on the information brought back by the scouts, Hua'an briefly analyzed the strength and deployment of the rebels, and then began to deploy the plan to march.

According to the speed of the march of the troops, the pro-military battalion and the 3,000 Liangzhou new army walked in the forefront, the main army under Tie Niu and Li Yi then marched, and the baggage battalion and the people temporarily recruited walked last.

After Hua'an had finished deploying the marching plan, the generals of each army returned to their respective camps to prepare, and after a few hours, the army began to set off one after another, marching in the direction of Chengdu.

After the battle of Chengdu, the Jingzhou army lost more than half, and the retreat of Zhou Fu followed Zhou Fu to retreat with only 3,000 troops, and then, some stragglers joined the team one after another, so that the strength of this team increased to 4,000 people, but compared with the rebels, it was much less.

Since the main force of the rebels was chasing from behind, Zhou Fu's army could only temporarily recuperate in the city, and once the rebels approached, they had to continue to retreat backwards.

After all, their troops are too small, and they do not have any mass base in Shu, so they cannot get the full support of the common people, so they naturally cannot gain a foothold.

In the temporary Chinese army tent, Yizhou Assassin Zhou Fu and his generals are gathering together to discuss the next step.

"My lord, the main force of the rebels is pressing forward step by step, and it seems that they are going to drive us all away!" General Yang Qian said loudly.

"Yes! My lord, our army should quickly retreat to get rid of the rebels. The generals said in unison.

Zhou Fu shook his head and said softly: "This official thinks that it may not be, the rebels have already controlled the western part of Yizhou, and now the purpose of pressing step by step is only to drive our army away, so as to capture the counties in the east of Yizhou, so that they can control the entire Yizhou, so as to obtain the capital to fight against our Great Jin!" If the rebels want to fight with our army to the end, when they are in Chengdu, they can ambush a group of men and horses outside the east gate, so that our army has no way to escape, and the losses should be more severe, but the rebels did not do this, they do not want to fight hard with us, so as to damage their own strength, the rebels are very shrewd? ”

When Yang Qian heard this, he nodded approvingly, and said with a straight face: "The rebels plan to do so, how should our army respond?" Please make plans in advance. ”

Zhou Fu sighed and said softly: "At present, our army is in a worrying situation, what else can this official do, so I have to return to Jingzhou with you." After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Fu's troops are scarce, and it can only be like this at present, and the generals have no opinions after listening to it, but they are just a little unwilling.

"My lord, we are responsible for guarding Yizhou, but now we are returning to Jingzhou, I don't know what the imperial court will do with us." Yang Qian whispered in Zhou Fu's ear.

Zhou Fu looked calm, and said with a straight face: "The loss of Chengdu is all the decision-making mistakes of the officials, and it has nothing to do with the generals. ”

"The adults are in the prime of life, why do you need to be like this, the loss of Chengdu is not the fault of the adults alone, how can the adults be allowed to bear it alone, and the last will be willing to share the guilt with the adults." General Yang Qian made a statement.

Zhou Fu waved his hand and said softly: "General Yang, by all means, now the Great Jin is the time to employ people, and the general does not need to settle the crime for the sake of the old man, so that the Great Jin will lose a fierce general." ”

"Your Excellency." Yang Qian's voice was a little choked.

"Okay, the rebels should not be far from Zizhong City, the general should gather his men and horses quickly." Zhou Fu ordered softly.

"Yes, sir." Yang Qian clenched his fists and took the order, and then went to gather the people.

Half an hour later, Zhou Fu led the remnants of the Jingzhou army of 4,000 and continued to march towards Han'an City in Jiangyang County.

In the palace in Chengdu, Fan Ben, who was supported by Wang Wei and Wang Run and other rebel generals, sat firmly on the dragon chair.

As a meritorious Wang oath and Wang Run, naturally received very high treatment, Wang swore to be named prime minister, the status is one person under ten thousand people, but in fact, it controls the entire regime, Wang Run, Deng Ding, Kui Wen and other major generals of the uprising, are all awarded important positions such as Tai Lieutenant, General, Da Sima, etc., some of the small Luo Yu who have risen to the throne have also been named generals, it can be said that one person has attained the Tao of the chicken dog to ascend to heaven, and all those who follow the Wang Oath to rebel have been greatly rewarded.

The main army of Deng Ding and Kui Wen is getting farther and farther away from Chengdu, as the rebel general who stayed in Chengdu, Wang Run shoulders the heavy responsibility of defending the capital of the new imperial court, but at this moment, he is a little inexplicably afraid in his heart, because, the scouts sent to the direction of Liangzhou have found that the 20,000 troops of Hua'an are gathering in Fucheng, and their intentions are unknown.

Although there are 20,000 troops under Wang Run, the combat power is definitely not as good as the army led by Hua'an, so it is inevitable to be afraid.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion of Wang Oath, Wang Run and Wang Oath are discussing the shape of Yizhou and the future development plan.

Wang Run said worriedly: "Prime Minister, the 20,000 troops in the direction of Liangzhou of the Jin army are gathering in Fucheng, and they have plans to raid Chengdu!" And the main force of our army is getting farther and farther away from Chengdu, is this too dangerous, do you want to pass the order and let General Deng and General Kui lead the army back to Chengdu to deal with the threat in the direction of Liangzhou! After speaking, he looked at the king expectantly.

Wang Wei thought for a while, and said: "Jiangyang, Bajun and Fuling are all important places, and we can't help but attack them, otherwise, with the land of several states in the west of Yizhou, we should not have the strength to fight against the Jin State, so the main army cannot be transferred back at will." ”

"Prime Minister, if the 20,000 main forces of the Jin army come from the direction of Fucheng, with the current strength of our army, it will be very tight." Wang Run said worriedly.

Wang swore disagreed, and said softly: "Chengdu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army of 20,000 horses is strictly garrisoned, if the Jin army has no internal response, if you want to capture Chengdu, I am afraid that it is not so easy, besides, if the Jin army in Liangzhou wants to invade Chengdu on a large scale, it needs to ask the court of the Jin State to go to war, Jiankang City is so far away, and it will take at least a month or two to send a letter to the war, and by then the main force of our army will have already returned victoriously." After speaking, his expression was quite relaxed, as if he could gain insight into the intentions of the Jin army.

"My lord, the so-called general is not affected by the order of the monarch outside, in an emergency, where do you need to ask the imperial court, the last general is still worried that the Jin army will raid Chengdu!" Wang Run was still jealous of the Jin army in Liangzhou.

When Wang swore to hear this, he looked at Wang Run, and said: "Then the general will send more scouts to the direction of Liangzhou to inquire about the situation, once the Jin army has any changes, the official will send an order, so that the main army can quickly return to help, and the general will also arrange the city defense, so that the Jin army will not dare to act rashly." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Wang Run nodded and took the order.

In the Yanggu Valley, thirty miles southeast of Chengdu, the 1,000 Wudang Flying Army led by Zhuge Xiong were all assembled here.

As the vanguard of Hua'an, the Wudang Flying Army shoulders the heavy task of probing the enemy's situation and ambushing behind the enemy, in order to hide themselves, attack at critical times, and deal a fatal blow to the enemy. (To be continued......)
