"Order? Hehe, why should I accept the decree, this is clearly a false decree. "Even if he decided to rebel, Wei Yan naturally needed an excuse, although after the rectification, those generals arranged by Zhuge Liang in his army disappeared for no reason, but if he raised the anti-flag now, he didn't dare to guarantee that the soldiers would obey his orders, at this moment, a suitable excuse was extremely important.

Suddenly said that this was a false holy decree, and the accompanying eunuch reprimanded angrily: "Rebel Minister Wei Yan, what were you talking about just now? Where did the false decree come from, tell you, immediately return to Beijing with me to meet the emperor, maybe there can be a whole corpse, otherwise, the corpse of the five horses will be divided here now, so that your life is better than death. ”

"Leave a whole corpse? If you are so merciful, you must die, so why should I obey us? By the way, didn't you just say that I was a rebel? Very good, then I'll show you what a real rebel is. After Wei Yan snorted coldly, he stood up from the ground, and then waved his big hand and said, "Come out." ”

With this shout, in the inner courtyard of the mansion, hundreds of armored soldiers suddenly rushed in, these were Wei Yan's personal soldiers, no different from the dead.

Suddenly, so many soldiers rushed out, and surrounded themselves and others, the eunuch said with a face like ashes: "You... What do you want to do? ”

"What to do? Sending you to death, of course. By the way, I won't leave you with a whole corpse, come on, cut this person into seven for me, and make it even. Wei Yan said in a cold voice, with an indifferent expression on his face. It's like it's a stupid dog that's going to be chopping next.

As soon as the order was given, the eunuch was entrusted out, and soon after, the screams came, and these voices were also heard by the representatives of the Jingzhou Shi clan who came with them, one by one.

They came here because they were entrusted by Liu Bei to prove the fate of Wei Yan's defection to the enemy. It's just that I never thought that coming here was not to watch a play, but to put myself in danger.

Regarding Wei Yan's preparation to surrender to the Celestial Empire, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang began to suspect when they could not contact the generals they had arranged in the army.

That night, Zhang Zhi gave Wei Yan a list, saying that some of them might be the leaders arranged by Zhuge Liang in Wei Yan's army, in other words, some of them may be innocent and not at Zhuge Liang's orders.

It's just that Wei Yan was worried that his contact with the Celestial Empire would be exposed, so he simply made a complete move, and killed everyone on the list for various reasons. And among these people, some people were indeed sent by Zhuge Liang, and some were sent by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei seems to be very relieved and trusting of everyone, but in fact, he is wary of others everywhere, such as Wei Yan, although he appreciates it, this does not prevent him from arranging eyeliner around him, which is also a means just in case.

Originally, these people arranged it very cleverly. In fact, Liu Bei's order was that as long as Wei Yan didn't have any dissent and abnormal movements, they didn't have to take the initiative to contact him. This also makes these people usually have no special behavior.

But it is precisely because there is no special performance at all, that it seems a little out of place in the process of being investigated by Tianyan.

When a person has no problems at all, he appears to have problems when he is with people who have problems everywhere. It's just that Tianyan didn't find out, but intuitively felt that something was wrong with these generals, so he simply wrote them into the list this time, wanting Wei Yan to give a good screening.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan didn't bother with that brain at all, all the people who appeared in the list were all killed, so that the manpower arranged by Liu Bei was eradicated, and when he couldn't contact these people, he knew that Wei Yan might have a problem.

In addition to Zhuge Liang's secret recital, it is said that Wei Yan is likely to have different intentions, because the people he arranged can't be contacted. In line with the idea that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't, Liu Bei made this will to take Wei Yan back.

Even if he wanted to take Wei Yan back, Liu Bei had two thoughts about whether to kill this person or not. In his opinion, as long as he can show that he has no problems, he will still reuse such capable people. However, the eunuch in charge of the interrogation will have the wrong meaning, and Wei Yan is finished, so in the process of doing things, his words are very cold, and Wei Yan has already had objections, which leads to the current scene.

In the face of the powerful Wei Yan, several representatives of the Jingzhou Shi clan chose to protect themselves, and they were forced to sign a document with Wei Yan against Liu Bei, the Yuan Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

With these, Wei Yan then began to deal with the disobedient generals in the army with the cooperation of the Shi family, but after just ten days, all the generals who opposed him were killed, and so far, the military power of the 300,000 army is completely owned by Wei Yan.

The time was ripe, Wei Yan made the decision to go out of Western Shu and defect to the Celestial Empire, with the support of his henchmen and generals, Jingzhou turned against the water, and the Fifth Army took the opportunity to start entering its territory to do the receiving.

Wei Yan's actions caused a sensation in the world, and when Liu Bei, the emperor of the Han Yuan Dynasty in Chengdu, heard the news, he vomited blood and was angry.

Wei Yan surrendered to the Celestial Empire, which was a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Western Shu army, and it directly affected Guan Yu, the former Jingzhou general in the western city of Weixing County.

His son Guan Xing sent out a cry for help, and Guan Yu rushed over with an army of 300,000 non-stop, but soon after, Wei Yan occupied most of Jingzhou and announced his surrender to the Celestial Empire, which was undoubtedly a big blow to Guan Yu, who still had the name of Jingzhou general.

Originally, Guan Yu still had some slight guilt about taking Wei Yan's name as the Jingzhou general, but now, this emotion is completely gone, and what he wants to do now is to kill Nanjun and kill Wei Yan, an ungrateful person.

In Guan Yu's opinion, Wei Yan's ability to have today is inseparable from the appreciation and reuse of his eldest brother Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that this person would do such a treacherous thing after gaining power, which is really infuriating and killable.

It's just that although there is anger in his heart, Guan Yu also knows that if he wants to kill Wei Yan, he just thinks about it, because now he is trapped in Xicheng, and now he is surrounded by all sides, even if he can't even get out of the city, how can he talk about killing the villain?

Originally, when Guan Yu came to Xicheng, the Celestial Empire's army was just guarding outside the north gate, but after he arrived in the city, the two legions of the Celestial Empire, with a total of one million troops, simply surrounded the four city gates, besieging him and the 380,000 troops in the city.

This is clearly the situation of closing the door and beating the dog, Guan Yu is surrounded, which also makes Wei Yan can do whatever he wants when he does things in Jingzhou, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Fortunately, Xicheng, as the first city in the north of Jingzhou, was reinforced by Zhuge Liang, and there were two moats outside the city, making it not easy to attack the city. Even though it was cold now, and the water on the moat froze every morning, it was still too thin to be trampled on.

With the moat, Guan Yu can hold the west city, and there is still a lot of food prepared in the city, there is no problem in a short time, but being besieged is besieged, and the situation is passive.

After Wei Yan rebelled against the water, when he could not get effective reinforcements, his son Guan Xing suggested that his father should leave Xicheng and flee to Chengdu. As long as you plan properly, there is still a great chance to rush out through a city gate.

It's just that Guan Yu is very arrogant, he would rather die in battle than escape. Not to mention, the matter of Jingzhou was originally caused by his poor understanding, unless he could recapture the entire Jingzhou, otherwise, he really didn't have the face to see his eldest brother.

If Guan Yu didn't leave, the 380,000 army had to stay in Xicheng, and they wanted to defend the city with two moats.

Outside the West City, Zhang Chao led the First and Sixth Army Corps to completely surround the city, but he was not in a hurry to attack.

The five counties of Yizhou were taken, and the problem of food for the legion was well solved.

Originally, the food of the four legions and the two million troops outside the army needed to be supplied by Jinyang City, and the pressure was indeed not small. If a soldier eats only one pound of grain a day, 10,000 people will eat 10,000 catties a day, and 300,000 catties a month. One stone of grain is equal to 50 catties, and 300,000 people will eat 6,000 stone in a month, and 2 million people will eat about 40,000 stone in a month.

And this is still based on the fact that the grain is not transported, which means that once it is transported, the consumption may reach 60,000 stone in a month. Although it is said that the Celestial Empire has always paid great attention to the problem of food, and it is true that there is a lot of storage in the treasury, it seems that such a waste is not worth it. This is also the reason why Zhuge Liang thinks that in Shanglu City, the army of the Celestial Empire is likely to return in vain.

After suddenly taking the five counties of Yizhou, about 500,000 stone of grain was collected, and Zhang Chao distributed it to various legions on the spot, so that he had enough strength to fight a dozen wars of attrition with Xishu.

It's just that he didn't attack immediately around Xicheng, firstly, because of the attrition of the Celestial Empire, and secondly, Zhang Chao didn't want Guan Yu to escape, and he still needed to transfer more troops to rush here.

For example, in addition to the Zhang Liao Department of the Seventh Army Corps, which is confronting Zhuge Liang in Mianzhu, the other vanguard corps Lu Bu, which is consolidating the five counties of Yizhou, is also being transferred to Xicheng, and at the same time, there is also the north of Jingzhou, and the Zhang Hesu Department of the Fourth Army Corps in Yongzhou is also coming to Xicheng day and night.

Originally, Wei Yan also wanted to lead the army to Xicheng, and wanted to make meritorious contributions, but Zhang Chao refused, in his opinion, Wei Yan's role in staying in Jingzhou Nanjun was far more important than coming to the Western Regions, after all, the 300,000 horses were all original soldiers of the Western Shu Army, let them attack Guan Yu now, not to mention whether they can accept it emotionally, and psychologically, I am afraid that this level will not be too easy.
