In May of the ninth year of the Chu calendar, Yan Yan, who was originally sitting in Jiangzhou, the seat of Ba County, and choked the offensive of the Chu army in Badong, suddenly learned a bad news!

Jiangyang was lost......

Lushui, that is, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River identified by the Zhengyuan of later generations, although it is generally mistaken that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are the Minjiang River, but the status of Lushui in Yizhou is undeniable.

From Jiangyang to Lushui, it is only 300 miles to Jiangzhou, Ba County, and compared to Badong, Jiangyang is the rear of Jiangzhou!

More importantly, the original plan of the Xichuan Shuhou Mansion was to take Jiangyang as the southern important town, and to demarcate Lushui as the insurmountable border of the southern barbarians, as for the south of Lushui...... Mess up the mess, mess up the mess.

However, now that Jiangyang has been lost, it not only means that the Chu army may stab Jiangzhou from behind at any time, but also means that as long as the Chu State is willing, the southern gate of Xichuan can be opened at any time.

When the time came, the southern barbarian rebel army went north, and Xichuan was defeated without a fight......

The only thing that stopped this scene from happening seemed to be the benevolence of the King of Chu, and Yan Yan did believe that the State of Chu would not do this.

Putting your hope in the conduct of your enemies? Yan Yan couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

At the same time, Bu Qi came from Badong to lobby Yan Yan for the Chu State, and after some emotion and reason, Yan Yan, who could no longer see the chance of winning, chose to go out of the city and surrender.

After all, now he has to pin his hope that Xichuan will not be chaotic on the benevolence of the Chu State, what face does he have that he will not surrender?

The Chu army won Jiangzhou, and although Yan Yan was unwilling to be a general and was bent on saying goodbye to the old, after verifying that the Chu army had fulfilled its promise and had no offense with the people of Ba County, he wrote more than ten letters to Chen Zhi and Guo Huai - all to the generals along the way!

Yan Yan is in Xichuan, and there are many old officials, and many generals were promoted by him.

After getting Yan Yan's letter, Chen Zhi and Guo Huai traced all the way up the Min River and went straight to the city!

Zhang Ren, who was guarding the Sword Pavilion, was even more impatient when he learned that the first line of the Minjiang River in Bajun had been lost......

Originally, in the face of Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren's pressure was great enough - although Zhang Ren was also Tong Yuan's disciple, and he was still Zhao Yun's second senior brother, but whether it was personal bravery or general strategy, he was inferior to Zhao Yun more than a notch, and he still relied on the danger and strength of the Sword Pavilion to barely hold on.

However, now that the Bajun area has been broken through, it is useless for Zhang Ren to defend the Sword Pavilion.

Originally, Zhang Ren thought that after all, it was his own loss, and the news came from "behind", it stands to reason that he should get the news much earlier than Zhao Yun, so on the one hand, he shouted at Zhao Yun to set up a suspicious array, and on the other hand, he secretly withdrew from the Sword Pavilion and wanted to return to defend the city.

Although at present, there is no hope for Xichuan, Zhang Ren still holds the idea of a stalemate with the Chu army as long as he stubbornly defends the west of Fushui and drives the people of Brazil and Zitong at the same time......

In fact, it is also an enhanced version of the strong wall Qingye!

didn't know that Zhao Yun got the news a few days earlier than him, and he couldn't wait for a long time, and Zhang Ren, who was looking forward to it, would be able to mess up after learning the news.

Zhang Ren held a foolproof bluff, but Zhao Yun, who was informed about it from the beginning, saw the clue.

Zhao Yun, who knew Zhang Ren's plan, simply did not expose it, but carefully tried it, Zhang Ren's main force left not half a day, Zhao Yun quickly broke through the Sword Pavilion, and then chased the infantry rank and tail of Zhang Ren's rear army with the mobility of transporting cavalry!

Zhang Renhuijun fought with Zhao Yun, but the battle was defeated, and only the remnants of the army fled in a hurry......

Zhao Yun didn't have any combat cavalry, only transport power, so he didn't chase too much.

When Zhang Ren returned to the city capital, Liu Zhang had already decided to surrender to Chu first, although the Chu army had not yet settled in, but Liu Zhang had closed the door of the mansion and not left the house, and the treasury in the city had also been sealed and sealed, and Zhang Song submitted the surrender letter.

When Zhang Ren rushed back, it happened that Zhang Song was about to leave the city.

Zhang Ren wanted to persuade Zhang Song to see the Marquis of Shu again with him, and persuade the Marquis of Shu to fight to the death, but Zhang Song refused.

Zhang Song is indeed thinking about Liu Zhang now, and it is precisely because of this that he rejected Zhang Ren......

also made it clear to Zhang Ren that his suggestion was not reliable - at this time, even if the fortified wall cleared the field, it was no longer possible to block the backup military needs of the Chu army, and with the well-managed Badong as the rear, the Chu State itself did not need to use war to feed the war, and the role of the fortified wall and clearfield was naturally not large.

Not to mention, at this time, there are still many people in the Shuhou Mansion...... Even including Huang Quan and Zheng Du, who are loyal to the Marquis of Shu's mansion, there are also people in their families who have been infiltrated by the Enlightenment Department of the Chu State!

As for Wu Yi's generation......

Before, because of interests, he was the happiest when he fought against the Chu State, but after he really swung the knife over, he was the fastest to coax, thinking only about how to retain his interests to the greatest extent.

What's more, judging from the external situation, the Han family has become a "pseudo-Han", and even if Liu Zhang wants to fight, he can only fight for one Sima Yi's promise......

In other words, continuing to resist now will not only not help the situation, but will increase the danger and increase the losses.

Although Zhang Ren is loyal and dares to fight, there is no point in fighting now, so he has to close himself in the door of his home and not come out......

Zhang Song submitted a letter of surrender to Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also accepted it on behalf of the state of Chu, joined Chen Zhi and Guo Huai in the city capital, and completely took over the city capital.

At this point, although there is still chaos in Yizhou, especially in the southern area, the southern barbarian turmoil has not yet been decided, but in general, the entire "south" has been completely Chu, and there is no constraint in the rear.
