Chapter 257: Rumors Spread

When Liu Zhang heard the news that Jiangzhou had been captured, his face immediately turned pale. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A few days ago, he received a report from Yan Yan that Chen Xu might not be in the Sword Pavilion, but personally led his troops to reroute to Bajun, intending to attack Chengdu through Jiangzhou. At that time, Yan Yan's report was regarded as a joke, but he didn't expect to receive the news of Chen Xu's conquest of Jiangzhou a few days later.

"You bunch of waste, didn't you say that it was impossible for Chen Xu to attack from Ba County? Now that Jiangzhou has been captured, there is no barrier to the east of Chengdu. Tell me, what should we do now? ”

Liu Zhang looked angrily at the civil and military officials who stayed in Chengdu, who had persuaded him to send heavy troops to hoard on the front line of Sword Pavilion and Zitong. Now it's a good thing, Chen Xu's troops almost didn't encounter any resistance in Ba County, and they took Jiangzhou bloodlessly.

The military officer was silent, lowered his head and began to study the lines on the ground.

Fa Zheng and Meng Da stood at the end and sneered, Chengdu City will not be yours soon, what kind of prestige are you still playing here?

The two of them have already received news from Zhang Song, and Chen Xu's victory over Yizhou this time is definitely a sure thing. It is hoped that they can cooperate with Chen Xu's army, actively contact the clans, officials and generals in Chengdu, and prepare to act as internal responses.

Is it just a good job?

Fa Zheng is a person who is unwilling to be ordinary, Chengdu City is in danger, and I don't know how many people are ready to act as internal responses. If he was just an ordinary internal response, how could he show his talents, and how could he be appreciated by Chen Xu?

Therefore, he had already planned the next plan in his heart, ready to make Chengdu completely chaotic.

There was still silence in the chamber.

In the end, General Li Yan stepped forward and said: "My lord, at this moment, the only way is to mobilize the troops stationed in Zitong as soon as possible, and let Zhang Ren quickly lead the troops to support." Chengdu City has high walls and plenty of food and grass, so it should be able to support a large army. ”

In fact, he has no hope of holding Chengdu.

The capture of Ba County is equivalent to the opening of the east gate to protect Chengdu. The Sword Pavilion has become less important, and the enemy can mobilize a large army to Ba County in the future and slowly encroach on the counties around Chengdu.

The final result is probably that Chengdu has become an isolated city. How long can a lonely city be able to hold on to a lonely city, even if it has food, grain and grass that can last for several years?

Liu Zhang also thought of the future situation, sat down and said, "Okay, immediately send an order to Zhang Ren and order him to quickly lead the troops to support." Also, let Huang Quan and Pang Xi of the Sword Pavilion also divide some troops and quickly support Chengdu. ”

Li Yan looked at Liu Zhang's depressed look, and couldn't help but comfort: "Lord, in fact, the current situation is not so bad. Chen Xu only occupies Ba County, as long as we respond in time and quickly send troops to defend important cities, we can still confront each other for a while. ”

Liu Zhang still looked weak, "General Li, I'll hand over the defense work of Chengdu to you." As for the dispatch of troops and horses, you can report to me at any time. Okay, there's nothing going on here, let's all disperse. ”

"Lord, I'll retire."

After everyone left, Liu Zhang's heart became more and more bitter.

How did the situation change so dramatically in the blink of an eye?

What Li Yan just said was "confrontation for a period of time", but what about after a period of time? Is it that after a period of time, Chengdu will not be able to hold on? Unexpectedly, even his generals are not optimistic about the situation in Yizhou, which is really a sad thing.

When Fa Zheng returned home, he immediately wrote a letter with his detailed plan and handed it to his henchmen, asking him to hurry up and deliver it to Chen Xu in person. And be sure to explain to Chen Xu that in view of the urgency of time, he had to act according to the plan first, and asked Chen Xu not to blame.

Immediately afterward, he called several more henchmen and gave them orders.

A few days later, rumors spread in Chengdu.

"Have you heard of that? Huang Quan and Pang Xi of the Sword Pavilion saw that Chengdu was about to be unable to hold on, and had already surrendered to Chen Xujun. ”

"Dude, where did you hear that? It's a rumor, it's definitely a rumor! Let me tell you, General Huang and General Pang did not surrender at all, but Zitong's defenders Zhang Ren and Lei Tong surrendered. They are leading a large army to join forces with Chen Xu's army inside and outside to attack the Sword Pavilion. ”

"Nonsense!" A native of Xichuan shouted loudly, "General Zhang Ren is from our Xichuan, how can he surrender?" In my opinion, it must be Huang Quan, Pang Xi and other foreign officials from Dongzhou who surrendered. ”

"What? You repeat? The man grabbed the Xichuan people and asked, "What's wrong with us Dongzhou people?" Even if we are foreigners, we have lived here for at least ten years, and we can be regarded as Yizhou people. Could it be that we, the people of Dongzhou, will definitely surrender? ”

The two quarreled, causing onlookers from the people around them.

A man who looked like a scribe stood up and persuaded him, "Don't quarrel with the two of you, what Dongzhou people, Xichuan people?" In my opinion, it is the officials above who deliberately sow discord between us in order to compete for power and profit. We are all ordinary people, villagers and folks, what is there to quarrel about? ”

Another peasant-looking man also advised, "This gentleman is right, and he deserves to be a scholar." I heard from my relatives over there in Ba County that General Chen came to Yizhou to implement a new policy, so that we Dongzhou and Xichuan people would be equal and self-governing, and would never hate each other again, and we would build a harmonious and beautiful Yizhou. ”

Several people in the crowd chimed in, "Yes, that's right, General Chen is really the savior of our Yizhou." Although our Yizhou is rich, but the officials are rich, and our people are not like that?

General Chen is different, the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and they are never oppressed by anyone. In my opinion, it would be better for us to open the city gate and welcome General Chen's arrival. ”

As soon as a few people took the lead, the content of the debate quickly changed to whether Liu Zhang's policy was better or Chen Xu's policy, who was about to rule Yizhou. Between everyone's words, they have already acquiesced to the fact that Chen Xu is about to enter Yizhou.

Such a scene is constantly staged in Chengdu and the surrounding cities. Chen Xu's entry into Yizhou made Yizhou more prosperous, beautiful and harmonious, and quickly spread to Yizhou.

The initiators and disseminators of this argument are naturally Fa Zheng and his henchmen. The purpose is to disrupt Yizhou, so that Chen Xu's army can invade Chengdu more smoothly and become the ruler of Yizhou.

Fa Zheng also hoped that in this way, Chen Xu could capture Yizhou peacefully and reduce unnecessary casualties. He is a native of Yizhou, and it is a matter of course to seek benefits for Yizhou.

Rumors are slowly fermenting, and Yizhou has begun to become chaotic.
