Chapter 34

Liu Bei's feast on the third day, Liu Bei put away the food, flags, and armor neatly, and the soldiers' packages were also packed up, Yang Huai and Gao Pei were overjoyed to see this, and three days later, Yang Huai and others returned to Baishui, and sent someone to report to Liu Zhang Liu Bei was ready to withdraw the army.

Liu Zhang was first told by the envoy that Liu Bei was furious and wanted to return to Jingzhou, and he was worried, Zhang Ren and others persuaded Liu Zhang to strike first, seal all the passes, and send troops to annex Liu Bei.

Liu Zhang hesitated, Yang Huai's secret letter arrived again, Liu Zhang couldn't hold it, and ordered to wait and see. Zhang Ren and the others were anxious but helpless. You can only train your soldiers and horses in case there is a change.

Liu Bei discussed with Pang Tong and said: "Now that the chief has gone, we should take action to cooperate."

Pang Tong said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have a plan, ten days later, we will summon Yang Huai, Gao Pei to kill him and his army, if Wei Yan succeeds, the front and back attack, if there is a loss, you can also respond." Liu Bei was overjoyed, from his words.

Wei Yan led his troops out day and night, and sent his cronies to pretend to be ordinary people to take the first step, explore the terrain, and choose a hiding place during the day. He didn't dare to make a fire to cook, so he only ate the dry food he brought, and all the woodcutters and passers-by he met in the two miles around him stayed in the army. After the march of the soldiers and horses, a team of 100 people specially cleaned up the traces.

At night, the march is accelerated, the people are grassy, and the horses pick the bells. After stealing the white water, bypass Fucheng, go straight to Mianzhu, dig the mountain as the road, open the forest as the road, dive through the city, and arrive at Chengdu.

Wei Yan hid in the dense forest only a few hours away from Chengdu and sent someone to contact Zhang Song.

Zhang Song saw the person sent by Wei Yan and read the letter. To the messenger, he said: "I know what to do!" "Agree on the time, and the messenger will go to report back to Wei Yan.

On the night of the agreement, Wei Yan said to the deputy general Feng Xi: "Success or failure is in this move, I will lead people to the city to hide in the moat first, you go to deceive the city gate, and after the city gate is opened, I will take the opportunity to capture the guards and break through Chengdu in one fell swoop." Feng Xi nodded in agreement.

Wei Yan took the lead. Feng Xi waited until dawn, when the sky was about to dawn, and came to Chengdu to call the door. The guard at the gate asked, "Where is the military situation?" ”

Chengxia replied: "From Baishui Pass, Yang Dudu sent us to Chengdu to report that Liu Bei has a change, I am afraid that some lords do not know, so I will wait to report." ”

The doorman said: "General Zhang Ren has an order not to open the city gate at night, please enter the city tomorrow." ”

The city said angrily: "The military situation is urgent, I came non-stop, but you dare to delay, don't you want to be on the head?" Besides, it won't take half an hour for the sky to be brightened. ”

The door captain didn't dare to call the shots, so he had to send someone to inform the general on duty, Deng Xian. At this moment, a man stopped the soldier who was about to deliver the letter and said, "What's the noise?" The doorman saw that it was Zhang Song, and the doorman informed the cause and effect. After that, he said: "We dare not disobey General Zhang's military orders!" ”

Zhang Song said: "It just so happened that the lord was on duty last night to see if there was any news of Baishuiguan!" ”

Then he went up to the top of the city and said, "You have a diploma." ”

Joshita replied, "The diploma is here, you can check it." ”

Zhang Song said: "Submit it." ”

Chengxia said angrily: "You come down to see, Yang Du's secret letter, how can it be child's play." ”

Zhang Song fell a person, the person saw it and confirmed that it was correct, Zhang Song ordered another person to fall, and it was also confirmed that it was correct, Zhang Song said to the door captain: "In this case, the military situation is urgent, and the city gate can be opened." ”

The door captain wanted to say to Zhang Song that you have no right to interfere with the guards and horses, but he didn't dare, and he hesitated in his heart.

Zhang Song took out the document stamped with the seal of the Beneficial Prefecture Pastor and said, "Look, this is an order from the lord himself. Once the two generals Yang Huai and Gao Pei send a letter here, they must not be delayed. How? Do you want to disobey? Get out of the way, I'll take care of the accident. "Drink the order to open the door.

The men led by Zhang Song immediately put down the suspension bridge, and the sergeants saw that the captain did not speak, and it was difficult to stop them. Zhang Song's men opened the city gate. The doorman had no choice but to acquiesce.

Feng Xi and the other five walked to the drawbridge, did not enter the city, but stopped at the door and asked, "Which is the door captain?"

The doorman agreed: "The villain is." ”

Feng Xi pointed at him and scolded: "Yang Dudu doesn't trust, you are so bold, what, prevent thieves ......"

Zhang Song took the opportunity to hurriedly say good things, Feng Xi took the opportunity to quarrel with Zhang Song again, and let all the good things be said, but he didn't enter the city.

Wei Yan had already taken advantage of the night to select hundreds of elite soldiers to hide in the moat, and when he heard Feng Xi's scolding, he knew that the city gate had been opened, and took the opportunity to touch it.

After a sharp sound, Feng Xi grabbed the doorman next to him, and Wei Yan and the others rushed into the city gate and went straight into the city. The guards were dumbfounded, and Wei Yan took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to kill them all.

Then the torches at the city gate were lit, and a large number of people and horses came in the distance, Feng Xi led people to block the city gates in various places, and Wei Yan rushed directly to the soldiers and horses defending the city and attacked the defenders of Chengdu.

Deng Xian was on duty, inspected so far, led troops to check, and met Wei Yan head-on, Wei Yan raised his knife and slashed, Deng Xian couldn't resist, and was about to be defeated, Wei Yan caught up with him and attacked the defending soldiers and horses.

Wei Yan also ordered several hundred-man teams to set fire to various places, creating the illusion of a huge momentum for the soldiers and horses in the city, so as to confuse the enemy soldiers.

Liu Zhang learned that Liu Beijun entered the city and was so frightened that he fled for his life, although Zhang Ren, Leng Bao, and Liu Bi had the heart to resist, but the soldiers were scattered, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and the city was full of fire, I don't know how many soldiers and horses, and Liu Zhang panicked and only cared about fleeing for his life.

Zhang Ren and others had to lead a small number of soldiers and horses to engage Wei Yan, but they were defeated, Wei Yan looked straight to the center of Chengdu to kill, and Zhang Ren had to keep Liu Zhang out of the city.

Zhang Ren said indignantly: "If Chengdu is lost, it will be difficult for Yizhou to be owned by the public." ”

At that moment, Liu Zhang, who was protected by Leng Bao, Liu Bi, Liu Ba and others, escaped. After dawn, Chengdu was occupied by Wei Yan, and Zhang Song and Fa Zheng assisted and sent someone to Liu Bei to report the victory.

Wei Yan ordered dozens of cauldrons to be set up, cooked rice and stewed meat, and rewarded the soldiers and horses who had eaten dry food for dozens of days, so as to boost morale and guard Chengdu.

After the feast, Liu Bei claimed that there were more soldiers and horses, and the packing was slow, and it took 15 days in a row before he began to look at the direction of Jingzhou.

Although Yang Huai and Gao Pei were suspicious in their hearts, they had no choice but to send each other, Liu Bei didn't talk nonsense, and took the opportunity to capture the two and asked, "Are you two down?" ”

The two of them scolded: "Big-eared thief, you are treacherous. ”

Pang Tong didn't wait for the two of them to finish scolding, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Pull it out and cut it." "Left and right.

Liu Bei led the soldiers and horses into Baishui Pass, the Baishui Pass group of dragons had no leader, all surrendered, Liu Bei joined the people, continued to march, and occupied Fucheng.

Liu Zhang fled from Chengdu, at a loss, and asked, "Where should I go?" ”

Zhang Ren said: "My lord, we have not received the documents of urgency from the passes of the cities, so this must be a sneak attack on the soldiers and horses, and we can retreat to the city." ”

Liu Zhang's six gods have no master, and after listening to it, he nodded again and again, and when he arrived in the city, the guards would come out to greet him, and Liu Zhang Shao'an.

The Mianzhu Pass guard will report in the future: Liu Bei killed Yang Huai and Gao Pei, broke through Baishui Pass, and was preparing to attack Mianzhu.

Liu Zhang asked Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren said: "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, although Liu Bei attacked Chengdu, the soldiers are flourishing, but the county does not occupy much, the lord only needs to hold on to the city and Mianzhu, cut off the two soldiers and horses, the lord and I first contact the aspiring people in Chengdu, take advantage of Wei Yan's unstable foothold, recover Chengdu, and at the same time launch various counties and counties to attack Liu Bei's grain road, clear the wall, not for three months, Liu Bei will inevitably be weak, we will take advantage of the situation, a battle can capture Liu Bei. Liu Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, so he firmly resisted.

Liu Zhang sent his generals Wu Yi, Liu Bi, and Leng Bao to fight Liu Bei.

Liu Bei summoned all the soldiers and said: "All the soldiers followed me to trek through mountains and rivers, and came to Sichuan, it is for the sake of making meritorious contributions, waiting for the generals, now Liu Zhang betrays the alliance, wants to annex us, today there is no retreat, defeated Liu Zhang, there is a way out, otherwise, I am afraid that we will die in a foreign land, all the soldiers, success or failure in this move." ”

The generals agreed in unison, their morale was like a rainbow, Liu Bei personally walked in front of the army, and Huang Zhong and Kou Feng followed closely.

Arriving at the foot of Mianzhu City to set up a large camp, Pang Tong said to Liu Bei: "The lord can only bring thousands of elites, show off his might under Mianzhu, and the enemy soldiers will see that our army has few soldiers, and they will inevitably go to war, frustrate their sharpness, and mess up their military morale." ”

Liu Bei followed it and personally challenged it under the bamboo. I don't want the city to be unmoved. Pang Tong saw that this plan was useless, and sent old and weak soldiers to challenge. And pointed at the head of Mianzhu City.

Wu Yi was furious when he saw this, and Liu Bi dissuaded: "We will stick to Mianzhu, and when Chengdu is recovered, we can break Liu Bei again, and if we lose the battle, I am afraid that we will lose." ”

Wu Yi said: "The enemy army is only a few thousand, every day to guide our army, this is to despise us, for a long time, the army's heart is shaken, how to talk about fighting again, I have a plan to break the enemy, needless to say." ”

Don't accept Liu Bi's words. Led 20,000 soldiers and horses to battle, Liu Bei was overjoyed and lined up to fight. As soon as thousands of old and weak soldiers and horses saw the defenders fighting, they retreated in the first battle, and Wu Yi was about to withdraw his troops. The defeated soldiers and horses turned back and shot arrows, and so on.

Wu Yi said angrily: "Even these old and weak dare to bully me!" ”

Later, Liu Bi rushed to persuade him: "Don't chase after the general, let's collect the troops!" ”

Wu Yi said: "I have a plan, you don't have to say much!" "Tell the adjutant general to wave his troops to chase and kill.

Wu Yi chased after him, and when he met Liu Bei, Wu Yi did not panic. Wave your troops and horses to fight.

Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, who had been in Jingzhou for a long time, were well-trained soldiers, and with Liu Bei's encouragement, the three armies died. On the other hand, Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses, although Wu Yi and others are also battlefield generals, but the soldiers are negligent in training, they have not fought for a long time, and the land of Shu is rich, so the people are not enterprising, Liu Zhang's 100,000 people have no choice but to be a Hanzhong Zhang Lu, as soon as the two sides fight, the high and low are immediately separated.

Liu Zhang had more soldiers than Liu Bei, so Liu Bei couldn't easily take down Wu Yi and others, and the two sides fought to the depths.

Suddenly, the scout ran to Wu Yi's side and said, "General, the big thing is not good, the enemy army is sneaking up on the back of our army." ”

Wu Yi was shocked: "Nonsense, I sent soldiers and horses to attack the enemy, how could I be attacked by Liu Bei." ”

The scout said: "The enemy has ambushes everywhere in the woods, and all the men and horses of our army have been captured, and the enemy has taken the opportunity to deceive our army, and opposes a sneak attack around the rear of our army. ”

Wu Yi rolled in his heart, gritted his teeth, and ordered the withdrawal of the army, and Liu Beijun took the opportunity to cover up and defeat Wu Yi in one fell swoop. Liu Bei returned to the camp victoriously, and Wei Yan's good news of conquering Chengdu arrived, Liu Bei was overjoyed and informed the three armies, and the morale of the three armies was high.
