Liu Xun repeatedly defeated Liu Qi and besieged Fucheng, the news reached Chengdu, Liu Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and laughed: "Liu Biao has golden scales, I also have unicorns, Yizhou is worry-free!" ”

Zhang Song said: "Although the eldest prince won a big victory, Zhang Ren repeatedly admonished in the army, disturbing the morale of the army, and there are rumors that he is secretly colluding with Liu Qi, if it is not stopped in time, it may affect morale." ”

Liu Zhang said angrily: "Zhang Ren was not effective in the battle, I don't ask about the crime, I have already read the credit of the past, transfer him back to Chengdu, and I will interrogate him personally." ”

Zhang Songyan said: "Zhang Ren has always had prestige in the army, if he is transferred away from the front line, I am afraid it will also affect the morale of the army, it is better to demote him first, use the military law, and then give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which will not only show the lord's leniency, reward and punishment clearly, but also avoid future troubles." ”

"That's a good thing!" Liu Zhang praised: "I don't have to do it, why worry about big things?" ”

Liu Zhang is most taboo for others to talk about his unclear rewards and punishments, and he will not use people, especially the intricacies of the Benzhou soldiers and the Dongzhou soldiers, and the punishment of Zhang Ren should be treated with caution, this compromise is the best.

In the cold winter, the Shu army could not attack Fucheng for a long time, and the cold was pressing, and the morale was becoming depressed, and Liu Xun was also a little anxious.

Huang Quan and Wu Yi were summoned to discuss countermeasures, and with the intention of retiring from the army, Zhang Ren was demoted to three levels and demoted to general Pi, and he was no longer qualified to enter the account.

Wu Yiyan said: "Liu Qi insisted on not moving, he must be waiting for news from Liu Pan's people, and he will withdraw at this time, and his previous achievements will be wasted." ”

Huang Quan also said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, and letting Liu Qi go at this time is tantamount to returning to the mountain!" I saw before that his army was short of grain and grass, and Fucheng did not have much savings, as long as he was not allowed to transport grain into the city and run out of grain and grass in the city, the Jingzhou army would be defeated without a fight! ”

Liu Xun suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Ren patrolling by, and retreated at this time, wouldn't he be right in what he said?

So he made up his mind and ordered Wu Yi to continue to attack the city, and Huang Quan sent people to investigate the surroundings, and once there was news of grain and grass, he immediately reported it.

A few days later, suddenly the Malay newspaper reported that a batch of grain and grass had been transported to Fushui Pass, and was being transported to Fucheng at the same time, and Huang Quan immediately discussed with Liu Xun about robbing grain.

Liu Xun was overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, as Mr. expected, Fucheng has run out of grain, as long as this batch of grain and grass is burned, Liu Qi will sit and wait to die." ”

Huang Quan said: "Now that the city is besieged on all sides, Liu Qi doesn't know the news of grain and grass, so he can send elite soldiers to rob the grain overnight, bluff outside the city tomorrow, and attack the city sooner or later." ”

Liu Xun followed his plan and ordered Wu Yi to rob the grain, and he and Huang Quan and Zhang Ren oversaw the army to attack the city, which was no longer credible at this time, and he did not dare to tell him such confidential information.

Wu Yi took his headquarters out of the city overnight, and the horses reported that the grain cart would pass through the Shepherd Ridge, so he set up an ambush in the mountain, and waited for the cart and horse to be more than half, and then killed it and burned the grain and grass.

On the three poles of the sun, sure enough, the sound of cars in the distance was rounding, a large group of people and horses came in a round, because they were rushing overnight, only to see that the men and horses were very tired, many soldiers yawned, the corners of the mouths of the mules and horses hung white foam, and the nostrils spewed rough air, like swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

When more than half of the vehicles in front of him were over, Wu Yi gave an order, the drums sounded, and Wu Ban on the opposite side led the troops out at the same time, and rushed straight towards those vehicles.

The ambush soldiers on both sides came out, and the Jingzhou soldiers transporting grain were in chaos, and they did not resist at all, and abandoned the vehicles and scattered in all directions.

The Shu army was busy setting fires, and did not chase after the deserters, and let them escape, that is, let them report the news to the city, and the defenders were naturally in turmoil, and they were defeated without a fight.

Wu Yi was directing the soldiers to set fire, and suddenly Wu Ban hurriedly came: "Big brother, the situation doesn't seem right, this car is full of firewood and grass." ”

"Forage is also ......" Wu Yi was about to explain, when his face suddenly changed: "What did you say?" ”

Wu Ban didn't have time to answer, suddenly the gongs and drums in front of the mountain and behind the mountain shook loudly, and the two teams of men and horses outflanked them. ”

"Get out of here!" Wu Yi was shocked, and urged the horse to kill at the intersection where Zhao Yun was.

The fire was raging in the valley, and the black smoke was filled, Wu Ban shouted loudly, gathered soldiers to form a formation, blocked the Jingzhou soldiers who were killed behind, and fought and retreated.

Wu Yi and Zhao Yun fought for twenty times, and they couldn't resist it, and they were killed by the other party's gun, and they were in danger, and they hurriedly retreated and shouted: "Let's do it slowly!" ”

Zhao Yun immediately shot a gun and said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

"So far, I'm willing to admit defeat!"

Wu Yi had already seen that this was Liu Qi's plan, and he couldn't beat it, so he threw away his weapon and ordered the soldiers to surrender.

"Big brother?!" Wu Ban exclaimed in the back.

"Hahaha, General Wu, how Liu Zhang's father and son treat your Wu family, you know it well, why do you have to work for it again? Those who know the times are handsome, and it's time to choose another master! ”

Wu Ban looked back, but it was Meng Da who led the troops to arrive, and the Jingzhou army raised its bows and crossbows, ready to attack.

Wu Yi dismounted and persuaded: "Liu Zhang doesn't know how to use people, Liu Xun doesn't know the art of war, everything is expected by Liu Qi, give up!" ”

Wu Ban sighed helplessly, put down his weapons, and the rest of the Shu army also knelt down and surrendered.

When the two of them arrived in front of Zhao Yun, Wu Yi was still a little unwilling, and asked with his fists: "All this is Liu Bowei's plan?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Everything is expected by General Liu, since you are willing to surrender, you have a great achievement today, are you willing to go with a certain to get it?" ”

Wu Yi nodded and said: "Since I am willing to surrender, I naturally want to take Chengdu as soon as possible, so as not to worry my family, please ask the general to give orders." ”

Zhao Yun selected 500 elite soldiers, changed into the clothes and armor of the Shu army, and took Wu Yi and the two of them along the north bank of Mianshui to Mianzhu Pass, and Meng Da escorted the captives back to Fushui Pass for resettlement.

Liu Xun and Huang Quan waited in the camp until evening, but they never saw any news from Wu Yi, and gradually became impatient, according to the distance, one day is enough to reach Fushui Pass, and the team carrying grain should not be so slow.

When it got dark, Zhang Ren finally couldn't help but ask to see Liu Xun, and persuaded: "General Wu led the troops out, although I don't know what his intentions are, but I haven't returned yet, it must be Liu Qi's plan, now the army is far away, the soldiers are tired for days, and they should retreat overnight, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!" ”

Liu Xun said coldly: "Didn't Liu Qi send someone to contact me again, asking you to persuade me to withdraw from the army and relieve the siege?" ”

Zhang Renhu's eyes were slightly red, he took a deep breath and hugged his fists and said: "Loyalty is against the ear, and I hope the general will think twice." ”

"I retired at this time, abandoning General Wu, how do the soldiers of the three armies think of me? What is your heart in this advice? ”

Liu Xun was impatient, drove Zhang Ren out of the tent, invited Huang Quan to discuss, and sent someone to contact Wu Yi overnight.

Zhang Ren was driven out of the tent, and Liu Zhang was demoted and alienated, and he was sad in his heart, standing alone outside the tent against the wind, looking up at the sky, and couldn't help but have the idea of returning to the old mountains and forests.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly the sound of night owls sounded at the south gate, one after another, Zhang Ren was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the defenders to search everywhere.

But at this time, he was just a general, and he couldn't command the soldiers who were hiding in the tents to keep warm, and he ran several tents in a row, and the defenders cursed.

Zhang Ren was furious, drew his sword and pointed at a captain: "If you dare to disobey again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

"Stop! Zhang Ren, you are so bold! At this time, Liu Xun also came with troops.

Zhang Ren hurriedly put away the knife, hugged his fists and said: "The military situation is urgent, I had to ...... just now."

Before the words fell, I heard the shouting of killing from the north, and then there were ambushes from the west, and suddenly the torches on the city were bright, and the drums were loud.

Liu Xun was furious, pointed at Zhang Renli and shouted, "You brought the enemy army here?" ”
