Zhang Xi took the pre-sect and 5,000 soldiers to quickly pass through the mountain road and go to the south gate of the city.

Kou Feng, this kid, was sent back to Liu Bei's camp by Zhang Xi to recuperate in peace.

This guy, in a hand-to-hand fight, was stabbed in the shoulder, twice in the ribs, and another in the left leg, which was really a victory by killing the enemy general with his own blood and bravery.

Fortunately, with the protection of armor, these four knives are not fatal wounds, but with so many wounds, Zhang Xi naturally won't let this bastard fight with him anymore, and he really can't explain it to Kou's mother when he turns around.

As soon as Zhang Xi passed through the mountain road, Liu Bei immediately sent Pang Tong and Fu Kuang to lead an army of 10,000 to follow up, preparing to attack Yucheng from the north and south.

After all, Chengdu is south of Luocheng, and in case Chengdu sends reinforcements again, Liu Bei is also afraid that Zhang Xi's 5,000 people will not be enough, so he hurriedly asked Pang Tong and Fu Kuang to support together.

With Zhang Xi's thunder, Pang Tong was finally not shot into a hedgehog on the mountain road, and arrived safely south of Ruocheng with Fu Kuang.

And now, Liu Xun in the city is a little anxious.

To tell the truth, he received the news that when Liu Bei sent people to climb the mountain trail, he actually realized the problem.

But at that time, Liu Bei happened to launch a siege, and Liu Xun had to deal with it with all his might, so he couldn't spare time to support the mountain trail.

Of course, Liu Xun also thinks that he has made arrangements on the mountain trails, and ordinary people will not break through so quickly when they encounter such an arrangement.

When Liu Xun repelled Liu Bei's attack and was about to send troops to support the defenders of the mountain trail, he had already been informed that the mountain trail was lost, and Liu Bei's general, Zhang Xi, led an army of 5,000 and approached the south gate of the city.

Liu Xun was immediately shocked, and then quickly adjusted the deployment of the city, and put the last reserve in his hand to strengthen the defense of the south gate.

In fact, Liu Xunneng thought of arming on the mountain trail, and naturally considered the possibility of Liu Beijun detouring to the south gate.

It's just that Liu Xun believes that if the mountain trail is not lost, the defense of the south gate does not need to worry too much.

Therefore, Liu Xun was not as careless as Pang Tong thought, he still arranged the defenders at the south gate, but compared to the north gate, the strength was much worse.

But now that Liu Beijun has broken through the mountain trail, Liu Xun naturally wants to strengthen the defense of the south gate, but in this way, the defense of the north gate will become overstretched.

As for saying that Zhang Xi besieged the south gate, it was tantamount to cutting off the supply and grain supply route of Yucheng, and Liu Xun didn't care about this matter at all.

When he came to defend the city, he didn't plan to go back alive, the purpose was to drag Liu Bei and mobilize troops and horses for his father to encircle and suppress Liu Bei, so as to buy time.

So, you can surround it, anyway, Liu Xun is determined to fight to the death, before the food in Luocheng is exhausted, he Liu Bei doesn't want to move to Chengdu.

It's just that the siege on both sides puts Liu Xun under a lot of pressure.

A Liu Bei is not so easy to deal with, not to mention a Zhang Xi.

The Wenchen generals of Jingzhou Group, Yizhou people don't know much, and there are only Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang who are famous.

After all, the Battle of Chibi was the work of Zhou Lang, and the world also knew that there was a male lord named Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and a famous general named Zhou Yu had nothing to do with Liu Bei's group.

Yizhou is also located in a remote area, and has been in retreat all these years, so it is inevitable that the news is not very well-informed, and most of the strategists and generals brought by Liu Bei have never heard of fame, so they don't feel how difficult it is to deal with.

Then, the whole Yizhou knew that there were so many capable people and famous generals under Uncle Liu Huang's account.

Liu Xun is also helpless.

At the beginning, he blocked Liu Bei's attack, Liu Xun was still a little flustered, feeling that Liu Bei was just like that, it was just his father's unknown use of people before, and he used incompetent generals like Zhang Ren to lead to the current situation.

But now, Liu Xun really understands Zhang Ren a little, and now he is also being attacked by Liu Bei and Zhang Xi from both sides, and he can only shrink and defend.

Liu Bei's side is actually better, after all, it is a conventional siege, and there are so many siege equipment, as long as you deal with it calmly, it is really not a big problem.

But that Zhang Xi at the south gate is a little. Not very easy to deal with.

He doesn't attack the city, really, it's been almost ten days since he arrived at the south gate, and this guy hasn't attacked the city for a day.

Every day, he did not do serious things, and he did not build siege equipment, but let the soldiers shoot arrows into the city.

You can shoot an arrow, but this thing also tied a piece of bamboo to the arrow, which was engraved with the words "Don't kill after saving this thing and breaking the city".

Obviously, this guy is playing tricks, dividing the wealthy families and defenders in the city, and shaking their will to persevere.

In fact, in these years, whether a city can be defended or not has little to do with the people and soldiers, and the real key is the guards and wealthy families in the city.

These are the people most likely to defect.

After all, Liu Beijun said that "don't kill after breaking the city".

The subtext is, without this thing, some things will be hard to say after the city is broken. After all, no one knows where their lower limit is for the warlords in these years, and the wealthy families in Shu are not people who have not encountered the slaughter of the city.

For example, Liu Yan, Zhao Spoon, and Pang Xi have all done this.

Although Liu Bei is known as benevolence and righteousness, can you pin the hopes of the family on Liu Bei's benevolence? !

If you throw this thing, you may be able to cause some kind of chain reaction.

Liu Xun is really embarrassed, this kind of thing, if people keep it, it will shake the morale of the army, but if it is collected strongly, it will appear that he is weak-hearted, and it will shake the morale of the army even more.

In the end, Liu Xun had no choice but to summon the four guards and the family in the city, and told them that he Liu Xun was indeed not virtuous enough, and he did not have kindness to the people and soldiers in the city, but the Liu family had governed Shuzhong for many years, and there was always some kindness.

Please for the sake of so many years of kindness, help him defend the city first, if the city is about to be broken, then they will cut off their heads to surrender to Liu Bei, so as to keep their position.

In this way, Liu Xun finally temporarily stabilized the morale of the army in the city.

However, after Liu Bei heard about Liu Xun's disposition, he was surprised, but he didn't expect Liu Jiyu to be a mediocre master, and his son was brave and strategic.

And when Zhang Xi heard about it, he was also amazed. This Liu Xun, shouldn't there be a name called You Chu?!

But anyway, this translucent guy in history, who is really capable, is really capable, and he is not known how many times stronger than his father.

And then bar. Liu Zhang told Zhang Xi and Liu Bei with practical actions that he, the lord of Yizhou, was not obtained out of thin air.

Seeing that his son was desperately working in Luocheng and blocked Liu Bei's way for three months, Liu Zhang remembered his youth for a long time.

At that time, he had just succeeded to the throne, and Gan Ning, a native of Yizhou, rebelled, and he used Zhao Ji to suppress the rebellion and drive Gan Ning out of Yizhou.

Then, Zhao Key's rebellion swept through the three counties, and he fought more with less, suppressed Zhao Key's rebellion, and sat firmly in the position of the lord of Yizhou.

I didn't expect to get old, but I became timid.

Hehe, Liu Bei, don't you want this Yizhou, then come on, let's compare, who is more qualified.

Liu Zhang was inspired by his son's bravery and determination, and immediately held a military meeting in the city of Chengdu, and once again forced the Shuzhong family to gather more than 10,000 horses and countless military rations and money, and handed them over to his henchmen and generals.

But instead of letting these two people attack Zhangxi and relieve the siege of the south gate of the city, they let them lead their troops to make a detour north and attack Jiameng Pass.

Liu Zhang seems to have returned to his youth, and his ruthlessness has been completely forced out.

Jiameng Pass is Liu Beijun's current logistics base, and Liu Zhang's attack on Jiameng Pass is to make him fight with Liu Bei at speed.

Let's see if you will break through Ruocheng first and threaten Chengdu, or I will break through your logistics base first and cut off your logistics supply line.

It's a comparison of which of us dies first.

Liu Zhang's hand is indeed ruthless enough, putting his life and the entire Yizhou on the table, and betting with Liu Bei on life and death.

Liu Bei was also a little embarrassed after hearing about Liu Zhang's action, after all, Jiameng Pass is too important, and now Zhuge Liang's reinforcements are still on the way, and he doesn't know the news for the time being, so he can't open up a second logistics line, so Liu Bei was really a little bit "will" by Liu Zhang.

At this time, Zhang Xi and Pang Tong were both at the south gate of Yucheng, communication was inconvenient, and Liu Bei had only one Fazheng by his side, so Liu Bei was also very hesitant whether to return to the army to save Jia Mengguan.

Fa Zheng is also a little uncertain about this matter, after all, it involves the grain road, once Huo Jun can't hold the Jiameng Pass, the consequences will be very serious.

What's even worse is that Huo Jun only has 1,000 soldiers in his hands, while the two people sent by Liu Zhang, Xiang Cun and Fu Ban, lead 15,000 soldiers.

The ratio of fifteen to one, even if Huo Jun has Xiong in his hands, he really can't help but worry.

At this time, Liu Bei made his own decision - to continue to attack Yucheng.

Although Liu Bei didn't know Huo Jun's ability, he chose to believe in Zhang Xi, and he was willing to believe that Huo Jun, who was strongly recommended by Zhang Xi, could help him defend the back road, of course, Liu Bei believed that he could break through the city faster than Liu Zhang and march into Chengdu.

In this way, Liu Bei agreed to Liu Zhang's "gambling game", and the two sides started a big gamble related to the ownership of Yizhou before the "gambling table".
