Chapter 231: Sober

Although Liu Fan is not a great talent, compared with Liu Mao and Liu Zhang, he is definitely a "great talent", at least in the face of the current crisis in Yizhou, the kind of decisiveness shown is far from being able to withstand the two.

However, whether it is Dong Zhuo or Jia Xu, neither of them is an ordinary person in the end, just a moment of effort, and the two of them adjusted their minds.

"Tell me more about it." Sitting down suddenly, Dong Zhuo drank all the tea that had already been placed next to him, and said softly.

"In the city of Chengdu, with Liu Zhang's most support from the Yizhou family, the old man under Liu Yan is more close to Liu Mao's side, this time to help Zitong, the person who led the team is Liu Mao, and Liu Zhang succeeded to the Yizhou pastor, almost as soon as Liu Mao took the troops out of the city and began to operate, now it seems that Liu Mao has been given up by Liu Fan." Jia Xu's voice returned to normal, low and cold.

"So, the reinforcements who rushed to Zitong this time are basically Liu Yan's old troops?" Reaching out and rubbing his chin a few times, Dong Zhuo's face was slightly solemn.

What is the strength of the Yizhou family, Dong Zhuo doesn't care much in his heart, thinking that Liu Yan can defeat the people at the beginning, Dong Zhuo won't pay much attention to it at all, what really makes him care is Liu Yan's so-called old department, most of these people are soldiers who have followed Liu Yan's side for many years, and their elite level is by no means inferior to him Dong Zhuo. You must know that this time is not the time when Liu Yan died of illness in history, and Yizhou has only just settled down for a short time, and the combat power of the Yizhou army is not comparable to the Yizhou soldiers who have been comfortable for several years in history.

"Not bad." Nodding, Jia Xu's face was also a little solemn.

After successive victories, some people in Dong Zhuo's army may feel complacent, and some people will get carried away, but he Jia Xu will not. Because of Dong Zhuo's unexpected existence, Jia Xu's exit from the mountain was more than ten years earlier than in history, but this will not cause him the disadvantage of pulling out seedlings and fueling growth, now he is over forty years, both knowledge and strategy have already matured, and his achievements are only more outstanding than in history.

What does the old ministry mean, Jia Xu knows very well in his heart, even if he doesn't say that Liu Yan has led him to fight for many years before entering Sichuan, just the war in Yizhou is enough for them to become a pawn of a hundred refinements, Zitong, what awaits them will inevitably be a hard battle.

"How many enemy troops rushed to Zitong for reinforcements?" After pondering for a long time, Dong Zhuo asked again.

"At least twenty thousand." After taking a hard breath, Jia Xu replied in a deep voice, after a short pause, Jia Xu raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Dong Zhuo and then added: "Although Liu Yan pacified Yizhou at the beginning, his relationship with the family has never been better, because his old department was scattered to various places to guard, and after moving to Chengdu, there were only 20,000 soldiers left, but from the news that came back from Chengdu, it can be seen that now Liu Fan has begun to issue orders to gather soldiers and horses, as long as there is enough time, once the soldiers from all over the country are gathered, Breaking through 100,000 is not a problem. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, Dong Zhuo's face couldn't help showing a trace of remorse, he knew this, he didn't insist on letting the soldiers rest at the beginning, but when he thought of Yan Yan, who had not been able to sober up until now, Dong Zhuo could only shake his head and sigh, even now, he was still reluctant to exchange his life for Zitong.

It's just that if it is an ordinary city, there will be more enemies, but now they are about to face Zitong, which can become the last barrier in Chengdu is not just talking, the geographical advantage has been lost, if it is also surpassed by Liu Yan's sons in terms of manpower, Yizhou wants to fight, it will definitely become a joke.

"The Shu Road is difficult, even if Liu Fan gathers people, it is impossible for people from all over the country to arrive immediately, so it seems that we are not without a chance." With a low groan, as if he was deceiving himself, Dong Zhuo's words didn't even have much confidence in himself.

Jia Xu didn't speak again, but on his face, he couldn't see much dejection, the so-called planning is in people, it is exactly what he has to do as a strategist, the thing of war is not that there are more people, the thing of winning more with less has existed since ancient times, lowering his head, Jia Xu didn't know what to think about in his mind.

Actually, it's not that Dong Zhuo has no confidence, it's just the siege battle, they were originally in a weak position, Zitong is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention 20,000 old soldiers, that is, 10,000 people, it is enough for them to suffer, not all wars are skillful, hard attack, even if he can enter Zitong, the loss is only afraid that he does not look at it, and this is the real reason for Dong Zhuo's worries.

"Liu Fan Laocheng is calm, if he sits in Zitong, the lord is afraid that he will return in vain, but this Liu Mao is reckless and formless, if the lord can show the enemy weakness, according to the opinion, it must not be difficult to lure him out of the city." After a long time, Jia Xu, who was silent, suddenly spoke, and after a slight pause, he continued:

"What's more, Liu Fan helped Liu Zhang to take the throne, after kicking Liu Mao out of Chengdu, Liu Mao will definitely not be convinced in his heart, the lord only needs to spread rumors to instigate the relationship between the three on the one hand, and send more people to stimulate him with words, Liu Mao is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he will not worry about him not leaving the city."

"Wenhe's strategy is wonderful, and now it seems that it can only be like this." Dong Zhuo admired, but in his heart, he couldn't hide a faint regret, originally he was preparing for a siege battle, but now this way has undoubtedly become a luxury, even the siege equipment that he had been preparing before has become useless.

After two years of fighting and killing, whether it was Dong Zhuo or the soldiers under his command, he had never experienced a dignified siege battle, which had to be said to be a pity, but Dong Zhuo was not too persistent in this, and after thinking about it, he quickly gathered his mind, and then handed the matter into the hands of Jia Xu.

came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, after receiving Dong Zhuo's appointment, Jia Xu quickly got up and left, how to walk with rumors, what words to use to stimulate Liu Mao, all of this needs him to improve little by little, but these things are what he is good at, and it will not cost him too much energy.

"Zhongkang, go and order the armies to start assembling, and send troops to Zitong in two days." It was quiet for a long time before Dong Zhuo's voice echoed in the room again, and Xu Chu walked out immediately after receiving the order.

In fact, it is about the same time as Dong Zhuo's estimate, and in two days, Jia Xu has almost completed all the preliminary preparations.

Because Zitong is closed, it is not allowed to enter or exit, and it is difficult to pass the news out of Zitong, but if you want to put the news into the city, it is not an unattainable thing.

Some people say that Liu Zhang's succession to the throne was a compromise with the Yizhou family, and the condition of this compromise was to clear out the old forces of Liu Yan led by Liu Mao from Yizhou.

Some people say that Liu Zhang is cowardly, and Liu Fan took a fancy to this point and supported him to ascend to the top, the main purpose of which was to use Liu Zhang as a puppet to achieve his goal of controlling Yizhou.

Some people also say that Liu Mao was ambitious, and after Liu Fan supported Liu Zhang, he led his troops out of Zitong because of dissatisfaction and anger, wanting to sacrifice his glory and get rid of Liu Zhang with the help of Dong Zhuo's strength.

…………

And so on and so forth.

The various rumors not only made Liu Mao feel sorry for Liu Fan, but also made Liu Yan's old department feel uneasy, and in Zitong City, there was an undercurrent because of all kinds of rumors that came out of nowhere, and many ordinary people began to flee one after another, but Zitong has been closed, even the road to Chengdu has been blocked, and the hearts of people who are suffocated in the city suddenly become more panicked.

In less than two days, Liu Mao was busy and investigated, but in the end he only touched a few small shrimps, and they were just some idlers who took money to do things, as for the source of the rumors, they had long disappeared, and in the midst of grievances, the anger in Liu Mao's heart began to rise as Jia Xu expected.

In the Sword Pavilion, Dong Zhuo didn't know anything about what happened to Zitong, but even if he knew, he would only laugh it off, and such a result was exactly what he wanted.

Two days later, when the 30,000 troops under Dong Zhuo's command were assembled and were about to set off, a piece of news disrupted Dong Zhuo's arrangement---- Yan Yan woke up.

That's right, Yan Yan, who had been in a coma for nearly half a month, finally woke up when the army was about to set off, and Dong Zhuo, who learned the news, finally couldn't hold back and dispersed the army and hurried away.

"Heber, how does your body feel? What's wrong? Opening his eyes in confusion, Yan Yan was stunned by a pair of eyes the size of a copper bell, listening to the familiar name in his ears, Yan Yan was a little stunned, Heber? Isn't that calling yourself? But who is this man in front of you?

After a short period of distraction, Yan Yan immediately remembered the previous battle, his mind suddenly sobered up, and he hurriedly turned his head to look around, and sure enough, not far from the side, Tai Shici's still familiar face was imprinted in his eyes, and his eyes turned again, Le Jin's short figure became clear, and his heart trembled, Yan Yan already understood his current situation a little.

"Ho ho ......" As soon as his eyes dimmed, Yan Yan wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he suddenly realized that his throat seemed to be cut off, and even a complete syllable was released, and the words came to his mouth, and finally turned into a ho ho sound, and in an instant, Yan Yan's body trembled violently as if it was swinging.

"What's wrong with Heber?" Looking at Yan Yan who was struggling, Dong Zhuo hurriedly reached out and pressed Yan Yan's swinging body, and then lowered his voice and asked.

"Ho ho ......" Yan Yan struggled, but suddenly found that he didn't have the slightest strength in his body.

"Healer, go and call the healer to come......"
