Yizhou, within the city of Chengdu.

All kinds of rumors erupted in the city, the most important of which was that Chu Feng was defeated by the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Central Plains, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Chu Feng fled in embarrassment and fled back to Hefei.

The other is the news of Cao Jun's complete victory.

According to legend, Cao Jun defeated Liu Zhang's army and Fu County, almost all 4 people were lost, General Zhang Ren was captured, General Leng Bao was killed, Wu Yi rebelled even more, and Cao Jun went straight to Mianzhu. These news, The outbreak broke out in Chengdu at almost the same time. In an instant, the people in the city were terrified, civil and military, and rushed to discuss the matter. Many people even advocated surrendering to Cao Cao.

At this moment, the backyard of the general's mansion in the city.

Liu Zhang, who has a laid-back nature, is drinking tea leisurely at the moment.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Du, a member of Yizhou, came striding forward, and said solemnly: "Master, it's a disaster, it's a disaster!"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Liu Zhang scolded with a frown.

"My lord, rumors abound in the city, all saying that our army was defeated in Fucheng, Zhang Ren was captured, Leng Bao was executed, and only General Liu escaped!" There are not many soldiers and horses that can be deployed to station in various places, and if Cao Jun really wiped out 4 people in this battle, there is a high probability that Yizhou will be declared shattered.

"Hmph, what a bunch of nonsense! This is just Cao Jun's little trick, deliberately spreading rumors to confuse our army. As a worker in Yizhou, how can you believe it?"

"What's more, Zhang Ren and the others personally led our army of [-] elite troops, while Cao's army has only a few thousand troops. Even if it is [-] pigs, it is impossible to be slaughtered right now." Liu Zhang angrily rebuked.

"But my lord, it doesn't seem to be groundless this time!" Zhang Du was terrified, and emphasized again, but he didn't know what was going on at the front line.

Liu Zhang frowned, and was about to reprimand when he heard a hurried voice,
"My lord, my lord is in trouble, it's in trouble!"

"Cao Jun, Cao Jun defeated our army in Fu County, General Zhang Ren was captured, General Leng Bao died in battle, only Liu, General Liu withdrew!" A soldier came running wildly, showing a terrified expression.

"What? Impossible, this is impossible!"

"Zhang Ren and the others have tens of thousands of elites, how can this be so?" Liu Zhang shook his head in disbelief, immediately grabbed the guard's collar, and angrily said: "Who sent the news?"

"Liu, the news sent by General Liu is that he is leading the army to retreat to Mianzhu at the moment. The news is absolutely true!" The guard replied in a panic.

Liu Zhang Tongkong shrank suddenly, then took two steps back, feeling a little dazed and panicked, and kept yelling words like "impossible".

Immediately afterwards, Tong Kong suddenly tightened his grip, grabbed the guard's collar, and angrily said, "Wu Yi? Where is he?"

"Wu, Wu Yi rebelled and surrendered to Cao's army, and even helped Cao's army counterattack our army, otherwise our army would not have been defeated and returned in a big defeat."

The guard explained.

"Wu Yi, Wu Yi!" Liu Zhang roared, Tong Kong felt cold, and the veins on his forehead bulged, and he immediately reprimanded: "I treat you well, why, why did you betray me?"

"Come on, go and bring me someone to arrest Wu Yi's family, old and young, and behead them outside the city for public display!" Liu Zhang roared angrily, he wanted to kill Wu Yi's family.

"No!" The guard immediately led the people back.

However, they were doomed to be in vain. After all, Wu Yi had arranged for people to withdraw from Chengdu and hide, otherwise Wu Yi would not have dared to rebel.

"My lord, the most important thing right now is not to kill Wu Yi's family, but to find a way to keep Mianzhu and Chengdu." Zhang Du frowned and said in a deep voice.

"That's right, go, immediately tell Mianzhu guard Deng Xian to tell him to guard Mianzhu no matter what." Liu Zhang's expression tightened, and he shouted urgently.

"No!" The guard at the side responded.

"My lord, Cao's army is approaching menacingly, and I suspect that Chu Feng is really defeated. I'm afraid Cao Cao is already on the front line in Fucheng. Whether Mianzhu can keep it right now is a matter of debate!"

Zhang Du looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

Liu Zhang frowned. He wanted to get angry, but he held back. If Cao Cao came in person, it would be difficult for Mianzhu to report him, so he couldn't help but frown.

"What do you think?" Liu Zhang asked.

"Please help Chu Feng, the current situation can only be resolved by Chu Feng leading the army into Yizhou!" Zhang Du said solemnly.

"But Chu Feng is not a good enemy after all. He also plotted against me in Yizhou. This move is tantamount to attracting tigers to devour wolves. It is really a way of self-destruction!"

Liu Zhang was a little helpless, why didn't he want to ask for help, but how could he not know what kind of urine Chu Feng was?How could he really help him against Cao Cao?

"But my lord, there is no other way right now!" Zhang Du was also helpless.

"Hey, if both Cao and Chu enter Yizhou, the people of Yizhou will be the ones who will be devastated by the war. In this way, countless families will be destroyed, and wives and children will be separated!"

"I, the people of Yizhou, are suffering a lot. If I put millions of people in the fire and water for my own self-interest, I would be ashamed, that's all, just let fate!"

Liu Zhang waved his hand, feeling a little unbearable.

He really didn't want to do that. Regardless of whether Chu Feng entered Yizhou or not, Yizhou might not be able to keep it. Instead of this, why bother to let more people suffer?
"But my lord, in the future Chu Cao will still compete for Yizhou. This is a catastrophe for the people of Yizhou, and it cannot be avoided!" Zhang Du persuaded with grief.

"At that time, it has nothing to do with me!" Liu Zhang waved his hand.

"My lord, since this is the case, I suggest that Chengdu be closed, gather the people into the city, and defend Chengdu to the death. Chu Feng doesn't want to see Cao Cao take Yizhou, so he will naturally find a way!"

Zhang Du immediately suggested again.

"Then what should I do to improve the fertile land outside the city? Seeing that it is autumn, if Cao Cao arrives, he will definitely harvest it. How can the people survive?" Liu Zhang frowned.

"My lord, it is difficult for Cao's army to transport grain. This subordinate suggests that we should immediately send people to destroy the fertile fields and not take advantage of Cao Cao. After a hundred days, Cao Cao will naturally retreat without food!"

Zhang Du suggested immediately.

"No!" Liu Zhang vetoed,
"My lord, it's not a time for women's benevolence. Once Cao Cao arrives, our army's food and grass outside the city will be the rations of Cao's army. Instead of helping the people, it will aid the enemy."

Zhang Du persuaded hoarsely.

"It's absolutely impossible to destroy fertile land! Go tell the Mianzhu defender first, and defend the city with all your strength, and let's see how the battle in Mianzhu is going!" Liu Zhang waved his hands, taking a deep breath and feeling weak.

"No!" Zhang Du nodded, then folded his fists and retreated.

Looking at Zhang Du's leaving figure, Liu Zhang took a deep breath, alas, Yizhou is destined to be full of disasters this year, but it's a pity that he can't keep his foundation,
Let the people suffer and suffer!

I hope Deng Xian can keep Mianzhu and the homes of millions of people!

But before this thought was over, Zhang Du, who had left just now, turned back quickly.

"My lord, it's a disaster, this time it's really a disaster!"

Zhang Du looked terrified and said anxiously.

"Gudu!"

"What happened?" Liu Zhang swallowed and asked nervously.

"Mianzhu, Deng Xian, the guard of Mianzhu, was persuaded by Wu Yi to surrender. Mianzhu has now fallen into the hands of Cao Jun. In addition, it is said that the Tanma who sent the letter replied that Cao Cao is in Fucheng." Zhang Du looked anxious, and the whole person panicked. .

"What? Deng Xian has surrendered? Mianzhu has fallen?" Liu Zhang staggered back two steps, his expression was gloomy. He never expected that Mianzhu would be taken by Cao Jun so soon. After all, the Battle of Fucheng had just ended, and no one would will think of.

"Master, what should we do now?" Zhang Du asked anxiously.

"I, I don't know either!" Liu Zhang shook his head,
They all knew that Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses were used to defeat the enemy, and Deng Xian was used to consolidate the defense line, but now the two of them were defeated so suddenly, they disappeared almost overnight, then Cao Jun will be Luo County , and there are not many defenders in Luo County, Liu Zhang even suspected that he would directly make a wedding dress for Cao Cao when sending troops at this moment.

For a while, he didn't know whether to send troops.

"My lord, Luoyang has few major generals, and the city is not as good as Chengdu. I suggest that it is better to defend Chengdu with all your strength." Seeing that Liu Zhang was a little panicked, Zhang Du immediately suggested.

"Defend Chengdu? Can, can it be defended? That Cao Mengde is insidious and cunning, holds the emperor in his hand, has the appearance of a hero, has fought south and north all his life, and Qingzhou under his command is all elites in all battles. Can he really defend it? "Liu Zhang began to deny himself, and said blankly.

"My lord, the walls of Chengdu are high and thick, and there are countless sharp weapons for defending the city. How can we not defend it? What's more, there are still [-] elite soldiers in the city of Chengdu. On the other hand, Cao Cao, although he has soldiers, has no sharp weapons for attacking the city." , It will take more than a month to build a siege weapon, but after a hundred days of hard work, the Chu army will definitely counterattack the Cao army, and the danger of Yizhou will be destroyed by then!"

Zhang Du said quickly.

Yizhou has 3 soldiers and horses, [-] soldiers and horses have been lost, and now there are still [-] soldiers in Chengdu, which should be enough.

"Then, let's pass the order!" Liu Zhang said weakly.

"By the way, my lord, in addition to the strict defense of Chengdu City, we should also send a letter to Yan Yan and other generals, asking them to lead their troops back to Chengdu, so that they can garrison troops in the east of the city, so that Cao Cao will be wary." Zhang Du suggested again.

"I listen to you!" Liu Zhang waved his hand, he didn't want to ask any more.

"Also, Cao Cao is very powerful. I am worried that there are other civil and military soldiers who will take refuge with him. Immediately send someone to hold their dear relatives and friends hostage, so as to prevent anyone from cooperating with others. As for the soldiers guarding the city, they should be the lord's close relatives." Zhang Du Once again, he said that he had done his best for Liu Zhang.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this for now! But speak softer, just say kiss their relatives and get together for a few days." Liu Zhang nodded in agreement, "Okay, you go down and arrange it first, I'm tired, I want to rest first!"

"Subordinates leave!" Zhang Du cupped his fists and retreated.

-

On that day, in Chengdu,
Numerous gossip can't tell the truth from the fake,
Some said that Cao Cao was coming, some said that Mianzhu was destroyed, and some said that Cao Cao would go to Chengdu early tomorrow morning.
For a while, the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, eager to return home as soon as possible to avoid this natural disaster and man-made disaster. People with connections outside the city also ran to the city through their connections. After all, everyone knew that Cao Cao was a butcher. They might be chopped off alive, after all, it hasn't been long since the Xuzhou massacre.

But there are also countless people praying at home, hoping that these are all fake. After all, the autumn harvest will be coming soon. If Cao Cao kills the autumn harvest, then they will have no food. Without food, they will starve to death.

As if, in the whole of Chengdu, there is a faint feeling that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Many civil and military men in the city were thinking about what to do, but suddenly they received the news that Liu Zhang was inviting them for a banquet, and they would bring their wives and children with them. It was said that it was a banquet in name, but in fact everyone knew that it was to put them under house arrest. I am afraid that they will surrender to Cao Cao's side. The most important thing is that this undoubtedly confirms that Cao Cao has really taken down Zhang Ren's army, and even Mianzhu.

As a result, everyone, civil and military, is in danger.

On that day, many soldiers in the city bravely ran back and forth, and began to take over the entire city of Chengdu,

The people inside and outside the city were directly isolated, and they were strictly told not to enter or leave, so as to prevent Cao Jun from entering the city and causing trouble. As soon as this announcement came out, the people inside and outside the city panicked and shouted, but no one cared.Let the soldiers take over.

Most of the civil and military officials in the city were gathered together to prevent secretly communicating with Cao Cao.
And all of this came down with Luo County's watchful wind, and everyone began to get nervous.

----

In the blink of an eye, a few days later,

At this moment, outside the city of Chengdu.

Cao Jun came from all directions like a tide, and most of these people were soldiers and horses under Liu Zhang's command, a total of 4 people, mighty and mighty.

As for the headquarters of Cao Jun, there are still less than five thousand, but the reinforcements will arrive soon.

On the chariot, Cao Cao regained his confidence.

As confident as a king, Yizhou is really only one step away from him.

The chariot was torn off by the horses and slowly stepped forward.

On both sides of Cao Cao are Guo Jia, Xun You, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Wu Yi and others. The battle of Yizhou was indeed surprisingly smooth.

As for the original Liuzhang Department, those soldiers were all eager to try, because Cao Cao still announced before that he would behead a reward of [-] acres of land. As soon as this remark came out, Liu Zhang’s old department was completely crazy. Deng Xian had agreed to surrender at that time in Mianzhu. However, he was suppressed and rewarded countless acres, which completely convinced these people that Cao Cao would do what he said.

Under the city, more than a hundred steps away.

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao shouted boldly: "Ji Yu, it's been a long time. I think your father and I were old friends back then. I didn't expect you and I to meet on such an occasion today!"

"Cao Cao, you are a treacherous and despicable villain. Earlier, you asked me to give you a hundred thousand shi army food to withdraw, but you violated your principles and attacked me in Chengdu by surprise. You really are a traitor."

"If you have any means, just use them. I still have a million stones of grain and [-] elite soldiers in the city of Chengdu. You can't take it down. And to tell you the truth, I have already sent people to look for Chu Feng.
It won't be long before Chu Feng's reinforcements arrive, and you, Cao Mengde, can only run away with your tail between your legs. "Liu Zhang shouted boldly, trying to cheer up the soldiers around him.

Sure enough, when they heard that the Chu army was coming, all the surrounding soldiers cheered up and talked to each other, not so sluggish.

After all, in their view, the Chu army seemed to represent invincibility and the ability to torture and kill Cao Jun.Especially the Black Banner Army was invincible and frightened the enemy.

Hearing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly.

He touched his waist with his palm, this old man really pissed him off, and that Chu Feng was the pain of his life.

"Old man, since you are not benevolent, don't blame me, Cao Cao, for not being sympathetic!"
