The lieutenant was so frightened that his pants were wet and he peed all over the ground. Qian Xiaofei rushed out of the tent, and with a whistle, five hundred elite soldiers outside the camp came in. Barely encountering much resistance, the Shu soldiers surrendered.

Two hours later, the drunken general woke up, saw that he was tied up with five flowers, and suddenly half of the wine was frightened awake, and hurriedly knelt in front of Qian Tong: "The strong man spares his life, spares his life, I will say anything." ”

The drunken general shook the beans and told Liu Zhang's military deployment one by one......

As a result, the soldiers were bloodless, and the fortress leading to Chengdu was occupied by the Qian Tong brothers and sisters. Qian Tong knew Liu Zhang's intentions and military deployment well, and waited for the reinforcements to enter Bashu, while Liu Zhang, who was nested in Chengdu, had been kept in the dark and was still waiting for Liu Bei's arrival.

Liu Zhang was waiting for Liu Bei's army to enter Shu to rescue, many days passed, but Liu Bei's army was delayed, he flew pigeons three or four times in a row, Liu Bei was urged impatient.

The follow-up matters of Bucheng have not been handled properly, and they cannot set off in a hurry. Moreover, the original defender General Tu was killed, and Qian Tong infiltrated Bashu as a pioneer but there was still no news, Liu Bei decided to let General Tu's son Tu Zhuang take over the defense of Bucheng, Bucheng could not be empty, otherwise Dongwu would take the land of Lingling County in the future.

A few days later, the messenger arrived, and it was already night. Liu Bei learned that they had succeeded and firmly controlled the gateway to Yizhou, so he discussed with Kong Ming and others that Liu Zhang's affairs could not be delayed any longer, otherwise once Cao Cao occupied Yizhou, it would be a great threat to the future prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Finalize the matter of entering Bashu, and set off after noon the next day. Liu Bei told the three armies, vigorously fought and stood by. In order to keep Liu Zhang from being suspicious, all the 50,000 elite soldiers in Lingling County could not enter Shu, and 20,000 had to stay behind

The next morning, Bucheng posted a notice, saying that the army would go to Yizhou to rescue on the same day, and the soldiers who stayed behind must abide by their duties, and the people should hurry up the production of Yunyun.

After the common people saw the notice, they rushed to tell each other, and every household invited the soldiers to their homes as guests, and those who killed chickens and drank wine gave them their favorite oil tea to drink. For a time, Bucheng was full of strong tea fragrance, and the mountain song was melodious, resounding through the valley.

Speaking of this Miao family oil tea, there is also a tragic legend.

A long time ago, a pair of Miao brothers and sisters hunted in the mountains for a living. One day, my brother went to the street to sell animal skins and mountain goods, and it happened that a strong son saw it, which was not good. This son-in-law ran rampant in the township, stealing and plundering, and specifically bullying the poor people. He took a few mink and tiger skins and looked left and right, and couldn't put them down, but he didn't mean to give money. After a while, he was gone.

Soon the local yamen came to arrest the elder brother with a few knives, saying that he was illegally hunting in the mountains and forests of the son's brother, violating the rights and interests of others, and after being tortured, he was thrown into prison and waited for the autumn to be beheaded.

The younger sister knew that something had happened to her brother, so she went to the prison to deliver food to her brother. The food was so fragrant that it ended up being eaten by the greedy jailer every time. My brother didn't eat any more leftovers, and he lost weight day by day, and he was skinny in less than ten days.

My sister kept crying on the mountain, and after crying, she fried beans and rice and put them under the basket, and then separated the boiled tea and soup on top of the basket, and continued to visit her brother in prison. When the jailer saw that there was no food, only black soup, he thought it was poison, so he did not eat it again.

Under the "care" of his sister, his brother got a meal. Half a month later, when his brother recovered from his injuries and was stronger than before, he broke open the prison door, killed the jailer, escaped, and staged an uprising in the mountains against the rule of the government and the landlords.

The rebel army continued to grow, conquering several nearby counties, and the imperial court sent a large army to suppress it. The rebel army and the imperial army fought for more than half a year, because of the betrayal of the traitor, the brother and sister were captured and sent to the capital to be executed, and the uprising failed.

Although the rebel army was bloodily suppressed, the secret recipe for making oil tea was preserved. Later, in order to cherish the memory of this heroic Miao family brothers and sisters, every household learned to play oil tea, and when they came, they would inevitably play oil tea to entertain them, and they also made up a lot of oil tea songs innovatively to show their respect and welcome to the guests.

When Liu Bei was drinking oil tea at Qian Tong's house, he listened to the housekeeper tell this story, and tears fell from his eyes, saying: "If he becomes a big thing in the future, he will definitely treat the people in the Gutian Mountains well, give light to the meager endowment, and let the Miao family in Bucheng live and work in peace and contentment, so as to avoid the suffering of war." ”

After hearing this, the old housekeeper of the Qian family wanted to kneel down and thank him, "Liu Yuzhou is kind-hearted and loves the people like a son. ”

"Old gentleman, please get up, Xuande will never let down the fathers and villagers of Bucheng!" Liu Bei hurriedly got up and helped the housekeeper up.

Out of the Qian house, Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others went straight to the martial arts arena. 20,000 soldiers have been waiting there for a long time, all of them are full of energy, alive and vigorous, and there are 10,000 Miao soldiers among them. Liu Bei's riding horse raised his male and female double-strand sword and shouted: "Today, at the request of Liu Zhang and Liu Yizhou, we should enter Bashu to fight against Cao thieves." Revive the Han dynasty and help the world, there will be soldiers of the three armies! ”

"The lord is wise, the lord is wise! Exterminate the Cao thief. Exterminate the Cao thief! The shouts on the martial arts arena were deafening.

"Let's go!"

"Drive!" As soon as Liu Bei patted the horse, Lu Ma galloped up, and 20,000 soldiers followed him and set off in a mighty manner. The people of Bucheng had been sending out ten miles before they stopped, and reluctantly watched the Miao family gradually move away......

Soon the army left Lingling County and then marched west along the river......

Liu Zhang's subordinates Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were Liu Bei's internal responses to his side, ready to welcome Liu Bei's army into Yizhou, so Liu Bei knew Liu Zhang's movements and military situation well.

Hearing that Liu Bei had led his army from Jiangling to Fucheng, Liu Zhang was excited, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Liu Zhang couldn't wait to see Liu Bei, who was famous for his benevolence and virtue, and immediately changed his clothes, led more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry, drove the curtain, and went to Fucheng to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei led the soldiers to meet him in turn.

"Brother Xuande, you're finally here, wait until my hair is gray!" Liu Zhang held Liu Bei's hand tightly and did not relax for a long time.

"Brother Ji Yu waited for a long time, Ji Yu was frightened, and Xuande felt deeply guilty."

"Where, where. Brother Xuande came from afar, that is, he regarded me as a sect, and Liu was very pleased. ”

Everyone gathered for a feast and drink, and the gongs and drums in Fucheng were noisy.

During the banquet, Liu Zhang said to Liu Bei: "Zhang Lu didn't listen to my orders and made enemies with me for a long time. ”

"Brother Ji Yu, don't worry, we should do our best to kill it." Liu Bei patted his chest and swore an oath.

"Good. With Brother Xuande here, you can sit back and relax. What is needed, just say yes. ”

"I waited in Sichuan in a hurry, and I didn't bring much grain and grass, so how about asking Brother Ji Yu to fund some materials?"

"When you solve my internal worries and external difficulties, material things are naturally not a problem." ……

So Liu Zhang ordered his subordinates to get a lot of materials to help Liu Bei, and asked him to crusade against Zhang Lu, and the two said goodbye after a banquet for more than 100 days. When parting, Liu Zhang said to Liu Bei again: "Zhang Lu's matter is entrusted to Brother Xuande." ”

"Brother Ji Yu, don't worry, I will bring Zhang Lu's head to Chengdu to drink within the year!"

"There will be a date later!"

"There will be a date later!"

How did Liu Zhang, who had a little tendon in his brain, know that Liu Bei's entry into Shu to save him was just a pretense for Liu Bei to send troops, and Liu Bei's ultimate goal was to eat the fat of Bashu.

In 212 A.D. (the seventeenth year of Jian'an), Liu Bei was stationed in Jiameng Pass. In the same year, Cao Cao led his army south to conquer Sun Quan.

Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao, who was not afraid of fighting, had come to Jiangdong to stir up trouble again, and his brother-in-law was far away in Yizhou, so he panicked, and quickly wrote a letter to Pegasus into Sichuan to urgently ask his Liu Bei for help.

Liu Bei's mind at this time was all about seizing Yizhou, Yizhou had not swallowed it yet, and he didn't plan to save Sun Quan at all. Because Kong Ming told him before he entered Shu that since he was in the hall, he had to enter the room, otherwise he would miss the opportunity.

Liu Bei wrote a letter to Liu Zhang, boasting that he had a good relationship with his brother-in-law Sun Quan, and how Guan Yu had too few soldiers, and if he didn't rescue now, Cao Cao would inevitably seize Jingzhou, and after capturing Jingzhou, he would inevitably attack Yizhou.

This time, Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked Liu Zhang to add 10,000 troops to himself and provide corresponding military rations.

After Liu Zhang received the letter, he thought about Liu Bei since he entered Shu, he ate him and wore him, he didn't do anything, he drank with his subordinates and local heroes every day, and didn't mention anything about attacking Zhang Lu, isn't this a wolf ambition?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Liu Zhang tore the letter to shreds: "Liu Bei, you go to die, wolf-hearted thing!" ”

Immediately, Liu Zhang only divided his troops to Liu Bei with 4,000 men and horses and allocated half of the grain and grass, but he didn't know that this became an excuse for Liu Bei to turn against him.

At this time, Zhang Song's elder brother Guanghan was too protective of Zhang Su, he was afraid that his younger brother would affect him, and he was afraid that disaster would come, so he told Liu Zhang of Zhang Song's plot overnight, Liu Zhang was furious, trembling with anger, and threw the coffee table on the table to the ground: "Sure enough, the rumors are true, Liu Bei actually wants to try me Xichuan, a wolf in sheep's clothing!" ”

"What a Zhang Song, I treat you well. But you eat inside and out, and unite with outsiders to fix me. The herald ordered Zhang Lu to be arrested. ”

So Liu Zhang sent troops to arrest Zhang Song, and soon executed him, and ordered all the guards in the pass to close the road.

Liu Bei learned that his intentions had been revealed, and Zhang Song's death sounded the alarm for him, and he couldn't think of a better reason to attack Yizhou for a while.

Qian Tong said on the side: "Lord, if you don't make a move, you will be next, we will never sit still, and we can't hesitate anymore." ”

Liu Bei gritted his teeth: "Since Liu Zhang is unkind, don't blame my brother for being unjust!" ”

So Liu Bei officially declared war on Liu Zhang and sent troops to attack Fucheng, an important town in Yizhou. The two sides fought with their swords, and a warlord war for Yizhou broke out.
