Xu Shu led the troops and came all the way to Mianzhu Pass.

This is an important pass in the north of Shu County.

Basically, if the Mianzhu Pass is held, it is impossible for the enemy army to drive straight into Chengdu and kill under the city.

Although Xu Shu and his entourage do not have many soldiers and horses, after rectification, they can be regarded as an elite division. Especially with Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals, they can play an extraordinary effect.

Wait until you get to Mianzhu Pass.

Now guarding here are the two generals Zhang Yi and Li Yan.

They were originally stationed in Luo County, because Xu Shu and his party came in a hurry, so they sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to Mianzhu Pass.

As for Ruoxian, there is no problem for the time being.

Beyond the pass.

Zhao Yun looked ahead and asked Xu Shu:

"Military division, now that the enemy army is stuck in Mianzhu Pass, with the current strength of our army, it may not be easy to break through it."

Xu Shu swept his eyes, but said:

"Yide and Zilong don't have to worry, it's just Mianzhu Pass, it's easy to take it down."

The two had an accident.

Although Mianzhu Pass is indeed a little worse than Yangping Pass, it can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

They don't have an advantage in forces, how can they easily take it?

I saw Xu Shu continue:

"Wait for a book to be repaired and sent to Mianzhu Pass, and the effect will be clear at a glance."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said:

"The military advisor means to persuade the generals to surrender?"

Xu Shu nodded slowly and said:

"In Jingzhou, although there are many talents, the indigenous people of Yizhou are only partial, and many of them have migrated here from Sanfu and Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang is unable to ease the relationship between various factions, which makes Yizhou difficult to settle.

If Liu Zhang can be ambitious, with the strength of Yizhou, it will be easy to take down Zhang Lu. But this person is mediocre, although he is talented, he can't use it, which leads to today's situation. ”

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun nodded in practice.

They hadn't really known about it before.

And Xu Shu continued:

"Now the guards of Mianzhu Pass are Li Yan and Zhang Yi, both of whom are famous generals in Shu, and they will be able to see the current situation clearly, Yizhou can't stop Liu Qi's Jingzhou army.

It won't be long before the land of Yizhou will be owned by Liu Qi, if you wait for Liu Qi's soldiers to come to the city before surrendering, it is better to switch and surrender at this moment, so that the lives of Yizhou will not be ruined. ”

The discussion was decided.

Xu Shu took a pen and paper, wrote a secret letter and shot it into the gate.

When the soldiers found out about this letter, they didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly sent it to the government office, and Li Yan and Zhang Yi were among them.

Li Yannai is a representative figure of the Dongzhou faction in Shudi.

And Zhang Yi, although he is a native of Yizhou, has been dissatisfied with Liu Zhang for a day or two.

But as long as Liu Zhang has a little brain, he will not end up like this.

In the government.

Li Yan looked at Zhang Yi and said:

"Now Yizhou is under the enemy, although Liu Bei was captured by Cao Cao, but his command is still an elite soldier, then Xu Shu also has great talents, and we will have a big battle here."

Zhang Yi frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"I can only continue to guard the Mianzhu Pass, which is a critical pass in the north of Yizhou, if something happens to the Mianzhu Pass, Shu County will be difficult to defend, and the enemy army can reach Chengdu."

At this time.

Someone sent a secret message:

"Qi Yu two generals, this is the enemy army outside the city shot into the city, I don't know what it is."

This made Li Yan and Zhang Yi wonder.

Li Yan took the thing, waved his hand to let people down, and then opened the secret letter, and his eyes swept over.

After reading the secret letter, Li Yan's expression changed slightly.

He handed it directly to Zhang Yi.

Eventually, both fell silent.

"This Xu Yuanzhi is so calculating!"

After a while, Li Yan said quietly.

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly:

"What is said in this is true, although we can hold on to Mianzhu Pass, but Jingzhou is strong and strong, and sooner or later it will be able to break through the defense line, how can Yizhou be able to maintain it?"

The two looked at each other, and Li Yan asked tentatively:

"Liu Zhang is not the master!"

Zhang Yi was slightly entangled, no matter what

He is a native of Yizhou, and he is not in touch with Li Yandong's faction.

But on the other hand, he has a good relationship with Li Yan.

It is even more clear that the current situation in Yizhou was provoked by Liu Zhang himself.

Even if you fight to the death for Yizhou, you can't change anything.

It's better to think about yourself.

After hesitating, Zhang Yi squinted his eyes and asked:

"Zhengfang, what do you think?"

Li Yan said in a deep voice:

"Now Xu Shu and the others have obviously taken refuge in Liu Qi, it is a matter of time before Yizhou changes hands, it is better for me to be a favor and send Mianzhuguan out.

As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with us. ”

Zhang Yi was stunned:

"Send it out, how do you send it?"

Hearing this, Li Yan smiled dumbly and said:

"What's so difficult about this, we will go directly out of the customs to fight, and then we will not be defeated by Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, so we can only abandon the customs and leave."

Before Li Yan said, Zhang Yi really didn't think of it.

But I have to admit that this is a good way to get rid of their responsibilities.

After all, they're just a little bit iron-headed.

It is not voluntary surrender, there is a world of difference between the two.

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals are fierce, and it is reasonable that they are not opponents, and there is nothing incomprehensible.

Zhang Yi is also a decisive person.

In the original history, he followed Liu Zhang to surrender to Liu Bei.

It also witnessed the rise and fall of Shu Han.

Although Liu Zhang is the lord of Yizhou, his methods are too rubbish, so that all factions do not like him.

Now Zhang Yi has made such a choice, and there is no problem.

They are the same as Fa Zheng, they are all for their own future, and Liu Zhang has no kindness to them, so he has no scruples.

If it were like Zhang Ren here, the situation would be different.

Zhang Ren is Liu Zhang's most important general, Zhang Ren is loyal to Liu Zhang, and he will not surrender easily.

But today's Zhang Ren is still in Guanghan to guard against the Jingzhou army.

After the two generals have discussed it properly.

It is to raise troops and horses, and want to go out of the city to fight the enemy.

When the Mianzhu Pass defenders came out.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were a little surprised, didn't Xu Shu write a letter to persuade him to surrender, why did the two of them not only surrender, but even took the initiative to attack.

Xu Shu seemed to have gotten a satisfactory answer and said:

"This Li Zhengfang is so calculating, he took the initiative to go out of the customs to fight, just to sacrifice Mianzhu Pass. Later, you can go straight to the pass and kill, and you don't have to entangle too much with the enemy. ”

Since Li Yan and others give face, Xu Shu can't go too far.

With Li Yan and Zhang Yi left, it will be much easier to take Chengdu later, this is a time bomb.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were ordered to fight.

happened to meet Li Yan and Zhang Yi, and after fighting for a while, the two knew that they were not opponents, so they turned around and evacuated.

The second general did not chase after him.

They can also see that there is such a war, it is clear that they are out to give away people's heads.

This Liu Zhang is in Yizhou, how unpopular he is!

But it has nothing to do with them.

Without the defense line of Mianzhu Pass, Xu Shu and his entourage could continue to go south and enter the county.

When the time comes, it will be a matter of time before the Jingzhou Navy is coordinated, and it will be a matter of time before the enemy is broken.

The progress of Xu Shu and his entourage was much faster than Liu Qi.

Now that Liu Qi is leading the troops to attack Guanghan, I don't know how much time it will take, after all, that Zhang Ren is a fierce general in Yizhou, and at the same time loyal to Liu Zhang, there is no doubt that he is a hard stubble.
