The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 690 Decisive Battle in Chengdu
In the fourth year of Chuping, May [-]nd

In Shu County and Guangdu, there was joy inside and outside the city.

Both sides of the street are full of people carrying food and water and wine.

There is an old saying: "Eat pots of pulp in a pot to welcome the king's teacher."

Only this time, the army they welcome is not strictly speaking a king's division.

Those people who donated food, water and wine were not ordinary people, they were all local powerful families in Yizhou.

When the soldiers of the Yizhou Army, dressed in solid armor and holding spears, entered the city of Guangdu, the noise in the city reached its maximum at this time.

At the city gate, hundreds of unkempt and blood-stained soldiers were tied up and knelt on the ground.

The people around were all sullen, staring at the soldiers with malicious intent.

These bound soldiers are Dongzhou soldiers under Liu Yan's command!

Holding a whip in his hand, wearing a Chinese armor and an iron crown on his head, Ren Xian sat on the saddle with his back straight, condescendingly looking down at the dead Dongzhou soldiers with expressionless eyes.

"Kill them on the spot, leaving no one behind."

Ren Xian's eyes only stayed on those Dongzhou soldiers for a moment, and then he took them back again.

"Hang the heads of these guinea pigs on the gate of Guangdu City."

Ren Xian had no expression on his face, but his tone was serious.

The Central Plains was in turmoil, and people from Nanyang and Sanfu areas fled to Yizhou. It would be fine if they obeyed the law.

But those people saw that Liu Yan's tenure as Yizhou Shepherd was not stable, so they approached Liu Yan.

Those Dongzhou people worked hand in hand with Liu Yan, and as Liu Yan's minions, they ran rampant and broke the law.

Dongzhou's military discipline is corrupt, breaking into private houses and looting property is just commonplace.

Because the powerful family in Yizhou was suppressed, Ren Qi and Jia Long led the army to attack Liu Yan. After being defeated by the Dongzhou soldiers, the Dongzhou soldiers became even more aggressive.

They didn't reflect on their behavior because they were resisted, and they became restrained.

They saw the resistance, so they sharpened the butcher knife in their hands, and made the armor on their bodies stronger. Wherever there was a voice of resistance, they could no longer speak.

Later, they even dared to loot settlements and caravans, but Liu Yan had a tacit attitude towards the actions of Dongzhou soldiers.

Even the matter of intercepting and killing the caravan may have been secretly instructed by Liu Yan, otherwise why would those Dongzhou soldiers dare to act so boldly and ignore the king's law.

The king's flag changes at the head of the city.

The banner flying above Guangdu City is still a fiery red banner, but the characters on the banner have already changed.

Ren Xian is not a fool, he captured Jiangzhou, and immediately sent envoys to Chendu to meet the emperor.

First, he wrote to Liu Yan that the emperor could only use the riding vehicle, and Liu Yan recruited Dongzhou soldiers as a private army, and sent Zhang Lu northward to attack Hanzhong County, deliberately cut off traffic, and no longer communicated with the outside world, intending to proclaim himself emperor in Yizhou .

It is also said that when Liu Yan was in charge of Yizhou, he plundered and plundered and slaughtered wantonly, so that people's resentment boiled.

They wanted to join the imperial court, but they were stopped by Liu Yan.

Liu Yan took control of Yizhou and didn't want to return to the imperial court. Instead, he wanted to occupy the land of Bashu and establish himself as king and proclaim himself emperor.

He also pointed out that the purpose of his letter to change the history of the governor and set up the prefectural pastor was to seek self-reliance in remote counties such as Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

In order to convince the court of Chen Du, Ren Xian also fabricated and included some rumors in it.

For example, Liu Yan, who originally wanted to lead Jiaozhou to avoid disaster, asked the imperial court to be the shepherd of Yizhou because Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the spirit of the emperor.So Liu Yan was appointed as the envoy of the supervising army and the shepherd of Yizhou, and he was granted the title of Marquis of Yangcheng, and ordered him to go to Yizhou to arrest Xi Jian and rectify the administration of officials.

Someone who is good at face said that Wu Yi's younger sister, Wu Shi, will have a very noble position in the future, so Liu Yan followed his son Liu Mao who had entered Shu to marry Wu Shi.

It has to be said that Ren Xian's judgment was correct. The reason why Liu Yan proposed to relocate the prefecture and invite Yizhou pastor was indeed quite ambitious.

"kill!"

The sound of ruthless killing sounded from the city gate, and the sound of swords piercing into flesh became one piece in an instant.

Howling again and again, screaming everywhere.

Hundreds of human heads rolled to the ground, and hundreds of headless bodies fell to the ground. The scarlet blood flowed out and gathered into streams one after another, and finally gathered in the low-lying place to form a small blood-colored pool. .

If there really is Abi Hell in the world, then I am afraid that the current scene at the gate of Heguangdu City should be the same.

Those howls and screams did not fluctuate too much in Ren Xian's mood.

Those Dongzhou people who are helping tigers don't deserve the slightest sympathy.

Leading the guards to the street, Ren Xian's face changed into a new one. With a smile on his face, he held the rein in his hand and kept bowing in return.

For a time, the streets of Fangshi were filled with congratulatory and mighty voices.

Ren Xian led the army to parade in the city, and then left some people to guard Guangdu City, and then led the other soldiers to withdraw from Guangdu.

Breaking Guangdu was indeed a big victory. After Guangdu was broken, only Chengdu remained as the southern barrier of Mianzhu.

"Chengdu..."

Holding the whip in his hand, Ren Xian led the horse forward slowly.

Walking out of the north gate of Guangdu, the sound of gold and iron horses that had faded away for less than a moment returned to his ears again.

In the north of Guangdu City, there are many camps, and the scouts on horses are flying towards the north with the command flag.

Team after team of soldiers in red armor walked into the camp with spears on their shoulders.

"Chengdu military situation!"

Just when Ren Xian led the personal guard cavalry to enter the camp, a cavalry with feathers on his back galloped over.

The cavalryman who delivered the message reined in his horse, stopped in front of Ren Xian's left, calmed down a little, and immediately reported.

"Liu Yan personally led [-] Dongzhou soldiers and [-] county soldiers to station in Chengdu, and set up camps outside the city to echo each other."

"Pang Xi led about [-] Dongzhou soldiers to retreat to Luoxian County, Guanghan County. The Yizhou Yellow Turban Army did not pursue them. Our army envoys could not contact the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army. They seem to have the idea of ​​​​developing towards the north and east of Berkshire."

"I know that these thieves will definitely not be available at critical times."

Lou Fa snorted coldly and said contemptuously.

"Yizhou Yellow Turbans acted like this, as General Ren expected. Zhao Zhi was able to lead the remaining Yellow Turbans to resist for so long. This time he was able to capture the two cities of Guanghan and Anhan. He must not be a fool."

Shen Mi didn't have much expression, his expression was rather indifferent, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

"The Yizhou Yellow Turban Army now just wants to take advantage of the battle between our army and Liu Yan to strengthen itself and expand its territory."

"This time, the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army was able to hold Pang Xi for so long, and also defeated Pang Xi for a while. It is extremely valuable to lose a lot of generals, and it is also a great help to our army."

"While we count them, they are also wary of us."

"Zhao Zhi..."

Ren Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, chewing on this strange yet familiar name.

This person was side by side with Ma Xiang during the Ma Xiang uprising, and after Ma Xiang's defeat, he hibernated for a long time. He thought that the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army would be under the suppression of all sides for a few days, but now it seems that this Zhao Zhi is a bit unusual. In the past, it may be that Ma Xiang's brilliance was too bright, which made people ignore Zhao Zhi.

"Since the old man Liu Yan has arrived in Chengdu, we have to speed up our pace..."

Ren Xian's face was slightly ferocious, and his eyes stayed on the north.

"Order the three armies to prepare meals at the fourth watch tomorrow and set off at the fifth watch!"

Ren Xian looked around and roared angrily.

"Let those Dongzhou dogs know that the knives and guns in the hands of Yizhou people are much sharper than theirs!"

　The Chinese New Year is coming soon, there are too many things to do, and there are not many manuscripts saved, which is a bit difficult.
