The Conquest of the Three Kingdoms

Fazheng vented his dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang, and even satirized Huang Quan's lack of resourcefulness.

Huang Quan was furious, and reprimanded: "You are arrogant and self-righteous. My lord has made you a county magistrate, and I already think highly of you. How dare you have the face to do such a shameless thing."

"Since you say that I am self-righteous, then I will be self-righteous once, and I will dedicate Yizhou to the King of Chu self-righteously. What can you do to me?"

Fazheng's words were quite arrogant, and he didn't take Huang Quan seriously.

However, the crazier Nie Zefeng admired Fazheng's craziness.

Huang Quan was "unreasonable" by Fazheng, and he was speechless. He wished to fight Fazheng to the death, but now he was a prisoner, and there was nothing he could do.

In desperation, Huang Quan's expression softened a little, "I, Yizhou, is far away from wars and has enjoyed peace for many years. The people are rich and healthy, like a paradise. Fazheng, do you really want to lure foreign enemies into Sichuan and make this peaceful country , destroy it with your own hands?"

At this moment, Huang Quan, Fang Zi spoke his heart out.

As an indigenous scholar in Yizhou, he actually didn't have much loyalty to the weak Liu Zhang. What Huang Quan wanted to protect was the peace in Yizhou and the interests of their Yizhou scholars.

At this time, Nie Zefeng, who had been silent until now, spoke.

Staring at Huang Quan with blade-like eyes, he said coldly: "The world is falling apart, and the weak are preying on the strong. Which side's princes can achieve great things only by annexing other small princes. Huang Gongheng, are you really naive to think , Can Yizhou survive this troubled world alone?"

The straightforward and cold words made Huang Quan's body tremble and he was speechless for a moment.

"Since you don't want to be strong, you only have to become a stepping stone for the strong. The millions of people in Yizhou are such a tempting piece of fat. If you don't take it, Cao Cao will come to take it. Huang Gongheng, you people in Yizhou are deceiving yourself and others." The days of peace are over, welcome to the troubled times."

Nie Zefeng stood with his hands behind his back like that, expressing his ambition to devour Yizhou with the posture of a strong man.

At this time, Huang Quan, like an ice sculpture, stood there in a daze, motionless, with a kind of lost soul flickering between his brows.

Nie Zefeng didn't bother to look at his dejected state, so he waved his hands and ordered him to be taken down first.

Huang Quan was a representative figure among the indigenous scholars in Yizhou. If he could surrender, it would be of great use in weakening the resistance confidence of the Yizhou people. This is why Nie Zefeng kept him and did not kill him.

Huang Quan was taken away, while Nie Zefeng got on his horse and headed straight for Baidi City.

At this time, Baidi City was completely empty of troops, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that Huang Quan and others had killed first, captured the city with little effort.

When Nie Zefeng arrived at Baidi City, the east was already pale and the sky was dim.

This seat of Badong County, the east gate of Yizhou, has already planted a banner with the word "Yan".

Captured the Yellow Power, captured the White Emperor, and won the first battle against Shu.

The victorious Nie Zefeng didn't stay any longer, and at noon that day, he mobilized all his troops and marched back from Baidi City to the hinterland of Yizhou.

Except for a few sober people such as Huang Quan, the Yizhou people living in Taiping did not realize that the catastrophe was imminent, and from Baidi City to Bajun, the counties along the way did not have any regular troops except the county soldiers. garrison.

From the west of Baidi City, the counties were completely unprepared. With Huang Zhong as the vanguard, Nie Zefeng led an army of tens of thousands of troops to attack Quren, Yangqu, Linjiang, and Zhixian counties. Within two days, the army had already approached Ba Yangguan in the east of Jiangzhou, the county seat.

It wasn't until Huang Zhong's elite Changsha army was already ten miles away from Linyang Pass that Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun in Jiangzhou, got this amazing news.

At the head of Yangguan city, there was a lot of tension.

Hundreds of Shu soldiers, being scolded by the generals, hurriedly climbed up to the top of the city, and entered their respective positions with apprehension.

Although Jiangzhou is an important place in Yizhou, because it is guarded by Baidi City in the east, Langzhong in the north to resist the threat of Hanzhong, and the heartland of Chengdu in the west, it is a vital area, but since Liu Yan ruled Shu, Never experienced a war.

For more than ten years, this was the first time that the defenders of Jiangzhou encountered foreign invasion.

Therefore, at the head of Yangguan City, the defense equipment such as arrows, lumber, and Luoshi are not complete. When the enemy is approaching, the defenders can only move it from Jiangzhou City in a hurry.

And many of the weapons in the hands of the Shu soldiers are rusted, and they have not faced the enemy for a long time, which can be seen from this.

Amidst the rapid sound of horseshoes, a white-haired veteran with a bright eye, galloped from Jiangzhou City and went straight into Guancheng.

The person who came was Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire.

Yan Yan, with a dignified expression, went straight into the pass city, held his knife and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

But on the east avenue, dust rose all over the sky, in the dust mist, people's heads were surging, and flags flying were faintly visible, clearly a large army was coming fiercely.

"From Baidi City to Jiangzhou, during the seven or eight hundred li journey, all the officials in the counties along the way are dead, why didn't you report it earlier?" Yan Nie Zefeng asked angrily.

"Na Fazheng betrayed the lord, defected to Nie Zefeng, designed to lure Huang Taishou, suddenly occupied Baidi City, and drove straight all the way. The officials of the counties along the way were almost defenseless. That's why the Chu army killed us. Come up."

Listening to the reports from the left and right, Yan Yan's old face was filled with angry flames.

"Fazheng, a traitor to the Lord, dares to usurp Nie Zefeng's dog thief and plot against my Yizhou. It is really hateful."

Yan Yan hated it to the depths, gnashing her teeth with hatred.

"Old general, the Chu army is approaching, what should we do, but I heard that Nie Zefeng is very powerful, even Cao Cao and Liu Bei are no match for him."

The left and right subordinates felt a little guilty in the face of the menacing Chu army.

Yan Yan snorted coldly, and said proudly: "The Chu army deceived me that there is no one in Yizhou. I will tell him to break his halberd under Yangguan today, so that he will not dare to offend me in Yizhou again!"

Immediately, the arrogant Yan Nie Zefeng made deployments, dispatching [-] soldiers from Jiangzhou to guard Yangguan, and at the same time dispatching Pegasus to Chengdu to ask Liu Zhang for help.

...Chengdu City.

In the magnificent state capital, Liu Zhang was drinking with Zhang Song and others. Liu Zhang's honest and honest face was full of happiness at the moment.

The [-]-strong army commanded by Zhang Ren, the famous general in central Shu, had already marched northward to Jiameng Pass, waiting to join the Chu army and attack the Nanman army together.

Thinking of being bullied by the Southern Barbarians for so many years, and finally getting revenge for the suffocated hatred, Liu Zhang felt extremely happy in his heart.

…………

Just at this time, a person from outside the hall rushed in and shouted: "Father, something is wrong!"

Liu Zhang looked up, and it was his son Liu Xun who entered the hall.

At this moment, Liu Zhang was enjoying the banquet, and Liu Xun's yelling dampened his interest, so he said in displeasure, "What's wrong with shouting, and what happened to make you so flustered."

"Father, Yan Yan, the prefect of Bajun, reported urgently that Nie Zefeng broke his promise and broke his promise. He attacked Baidi City a few days ago. People come to ask their father for help!"

"What!" Liu Zhang was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears with his stunned expression.

Wang Lei and other Yizhou civil and military officials who were present were also full of astonishment.

Liu Xun hurriedly presented Yan Yan's emergency letter. Liu Zhang held it up with trembling hands and read it several times carefully.

Endless horror and endless anger surged on that seemingly honest face.

Suddenly, Liu Zhang suddenly raised his head, and glared fiercely at Zhang Song with angry and resentful eyes.

Liu Zhang's eyes were clearly questioning: Good Zhang Song, didn't you promise that Nie Zefeng had no evil intentions at the beginning, and how to explain this sudden change now!

At this time, Wang Lei who was standing next to him said anxiously: "My lord, Zhang Yongnian has been sent to Jingzhou twice, he must have secretly taken refuge in Nie Zefeng, so he betrayed his master to seek glory and lured Nie Zefeng's envoy to invade Yizhou."

Zhang Song is arrogant and uninhibited. Although he is in a high position, he has offended many people just like Fazheng.

Wang Lei, who is upright and rigid by nature, is naturally one of them.

In this strange life, Wang Lei, who had doubts in his heart for a long time, immediately pointed the finger at Zhang Song.

Liu Zhang was slightly shocked, and he looked suspiciously at Zhang Song.

At this time, Zhang Song sneered and said: "Wang Zong, your imagination is really rich. If I want to collude with Nie Zefeng and conspire to sacrifice Yizhou, I might be so stupid to stay here today, waiting to be framed by you, waiting to be killed." Did it land?"

A rhetorical question made Wang Lei speechless, and even dispelled Liu Zhang's doubts.

"Yongnian, the government believes in your loyalty. It's just that you have tried your best to ensure that Nie Zefeng has no other intentions. But why did he attack our army again, and now he has reached Jiangzhou." Liu Zhang didn't doubt Zhang Song, but Nie Zefeng's motives.

Zhang Song frowned, thought hard for a while, and said: "I believe that the king of Chu suddenly launched an attack. There must be some misunderstanding. I would like to meet the king of Chu again, and ask him to give us justice."

Liu Zhang was weak by nature, although he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, he did not dare to go to war with Nie Zefeng, he still had some luck in his heart, after much deliberation, he accepted Zhang Song's request.

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go on an envoy with Zhang Yongnian, so that we can take care of each other." Wang Lei hurriedly asked for orders.

Although Liu Zhang believed in Zhang Song deeply, Wang Lei harbored deep suspicion, so he had to monitor him with him.

Liu Zhang didn't think so deeply, so he agreed without hesitation.

So, on the same day, the two men were ordered by Liu Zhang to fly to Jiangzhou to meet Nie Zefeng.

At the same time, Liu Zhang also made preparations. On the one hand, he told Yan Yan to stick to Yangguan, and on the other hand, he asked Zhang Ren of Jiamengguan to suspend the attack on Nanman. At the same time, he ordered the troops in Chengdu to be ready to rescue Jiang at any time. state.

...Jiangzhou, ten miles east of Yangguan.

The Chu army, which stretched for several miles, chose danger and stood up, with endless banners all over the mountains and plains.
