In Chengdu, the Liu brothers have been fighting for more than a month to compete for state herdsmen. The two sides are clearly divided. Liu Xun takes Shu County as the foundation and occupies Chengdu. He has succeeded Yizhou Mu in Chengdu.

And Liu Wei did not show weakness either. Based on Guanghan County, he occupied Mianzhu and was supported by civil and military generals such as Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Lei Tong, and Yang Pei. He had an army of 5000 people, plus his 2 private troops. There are also more than [-] soldiers in the army and temporary recruitment.

More importantly, he has the support of Cao Cao, and the court has named him Yizhou Shepherd, which gives Liu Wei the legal advantage. He is the Yizhou Shepherd recognized by the court, but Liu Xun is not. It is also this that made Liu Wei's army high morale and aggressive. He won two of the three confrontations, and the army attacked the city of Chengdu.

The battle for more than a month caused heavy casualties on both sides. People fled their homes, agricultural production was severely damaged, and even Chengdu, which has developed industries and commerce, was in a depression.

The night shrouded Chengdu. On the top of the city, Liu Xun was silently watching the military camp three miles away. It was pitch black, only a silhouette could be seen faintly, and there were dots of lights.

Liu Xun was extremely worried. He lost more than half of his [-] troops in the two defeats, and he only had less than [-] troops. He was not sure whether he could hold Chengdu. Now his only hope was whether Wu Yi from Hanzhong could return in time.

Just half a month ago, he received a report from Wu Yi that Wu Yi's army was entangled by Zhang Lu in Dingjun Mountain, and he could not escape. He could only try his best to defeat Zhang Lu and return to Bashu to help in the battle.

But what made Liu Xun even more unacceptable was that the imperial court even conferred the title of Liu Wei Yizhou Shepherd. In this way, he became a traitor, a stupid and vicious brother who inherited his father's career. Thinking of this, Liu Xun couldn't help it A long sigh.

"Is the young master resenting the court?" Zhang Ren walked to Liu Xun and smiled. [

Liu Xun nodded, "Father clearly submitted his son to the courtiers last year, and asked the court to confer the title, but the court turned a blind eye to it. It is embarrassing to confer a man of virtue and ability as Yizhou shepherd."

"This should be related to the imperial court. It is Cao Cao's meaning. In fact, Cao Cao may not understand your brother's situation. He has listened to Huang Quan's one-sided words."

"Huang Quan?"

Liu Xun looked at Zhang Ren in surprise, "How could it be related to him?"

Zhang Ren sneered, "Actually, in terms of seniority and talent, it was never Huang Quan's turn to succeed Yizhou Biejia. At that time, many people suspected that Huang Quan had already surrendered to Cao Cao secretly, and he had always been Cao Cao. The pawn "inserted" in Yizhou, that's why he was named Yizhou Biejia."

Liu Xun nodded, and said bitterly: "I see. In this way, Cao Cao's understanding of Yizhou lies in Huang Quan's report. He is stupid and capable, so Cao Cao listened to his one-sided words!"

Zhang Ren shook his head, "I think it's just the opposite. Huang Quan's report to Cao Cao must have said that Liu Wei was stupid and stupid, and he was willing to be loyal to Cao Cao. This made Cao Cao feel that Liu Wei was easy to control. As far as Cao "Cao" is concerned, one Liu Jing has already made his head as big as a bucket. How could he allow a second virtuous master to appear in Yizhou? It is reasonable for Cao "Cao" to admit Liu Wei. "

Having said that, Liu Xun still felt depressed, and asked after a while, "Does the general think Liu Jing will take the opportunity to attack Bashu?"

Zhang Ren didn't speak, but a wry smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, how should he answer?He already knew that Liu Jing would definitely attack Bashu, and guessed that Pang Xi had secretly surrendered to Liu Jing, otherwise Liu Jing would not let Pang Xi go to guard Jianping County, but the Lord refused to believe it, and Pang Xi was Liu Jing. According to father-in-law, it is difficult for him to answer!

Liu Xun glanced back at him, seeing his bitter face, his heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice, "The general means that Liu Jing has already entered Bashu?"

Zhang Ren nodded silently, pondered for a while and said: "I suspect that Liu Jing's Jingzhou army has already fought with Yong Kai's army, otherwise Yong Kai's reinforcements should have arrived long ago, don't you find it strange?"

Liu Xun frowned slightly. Zhang Ren's reminder made him feel a little strange. He knew that Liu Wei had colluded with Yong Kai long ago. As long as he got into trouble, Yong Kai would send troops immediately. It is realized that although there will be various reasons, the possibility of encountering the Jingzhou Army is even greater.

But Yong Kai is not important. The important Jingzhou army has entered Bashu, and their brothers are still fighting among themselves here, making wedding dresses for Liu Jing in vain.

At this moment, the bell suddenly rang loudly on the observation tower at the top of the city. This happened. Liu Xun and Zhang Ren were stunned, and they turned their heads to look at the observation tower.Only Tashan soldiers shouted: "Young master, there is movement in the enemy camp below the city, and an army is coming."

Liu Xun leaned over to look at the barracks in the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the barracks was in chaos. Several fire dragons were attacking the barracks. There were about ten thousand troops. In the enemy camp. [

Zhang Ren also saw that this was a method of stealing camps, and he shouted excitedly, "This must be Wu Yi's army, our reinforcements are here!"

The cheers on the top of the city suddenly rang out, Liu Xun was extremely excited, but also a little worried, "I'm afraid this is Liu Wei's trick to lure soldiers."

"Young master, don't worry, Liu Wei is a fool, he can't use this kind of trick."

After all, Zhang Ren cupped his hands and asked for the battle: "Please let the humble officer lead the army to fight, and attack back and forth, and the enemy will definitely be defeated!"

Liu Xun hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and immediately issued an order, ordering Zhang Ren to lead [-] troops out of the city to fight.

The gate of the city was opened wide, and Zhang Ren took the lead, waving a big iron gun, and led [-] soldiers to rush towards Liu Wei's camp.

The army that suddenly rushed into Liu Wei's camp from behind was Wu Yi's army that came from Hanzhong. Wu Yi did not completely retreat. He led [-] troops back to Bashu to help Liu Xun fight for the throne.

At this time, Wu Yi also learned that the imperial court canonized Liu Wei as the shepherd of Yizhou, which made him very angry. He knew this person better than anyone else. He was greedy, stupid, and cruel. If he were the lord of Yizhou, he would be a native of Yizhou misfortune.

At the same time, Wu Yi was also very worried that Liu Jing had entered Bashu. If the internal strife between brothers was not quelled, Bashu would be completely over.

He led 1 people to march day and night, and took advantage of the cover of night to attack Liu Wei's camp.

Liu Wei's camp was in chaos, many tents were set on fire, the flames were soaring into the sky, and thick smoke filled the air. Soldiers were running around the camp, and troops were attacking left and right in the camp. In the eight falls, General Gao Pei led more than a thousand people to fight fiercely with Wu Yi's army who stole the camp. In the dark, it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the enemy from ourselves, and the battle was extremely chaotic.

But at this moment, there was also a great chaos on the other side of the barracks. Zhang Ren led [-] troops into the enemy camp. In a moment, it completely collapsed.

Liu Wei, dressed in gold and silver armor, was riding on a horse directing his soldiers to defend against the sneak attack of Wu Yi's army. He shouted: "Don't be confused, the army is in line to defend!"

The people in the camp shouted horses and suppressed his shouts. Except for a hundred people around him, no one could hear his shouts. Seeing that Wu Yi's army had already entered the camp and set fire to them everywhere, Liu Wei Angry and anxious, at this moment, a soldier rushed over.

"Zhou Mu, there are also enemy troops entering the camp from the west. It is Zhang Ren's army!"

Liu Wei was stunned for a while, the enemy army came from both sides, could he still resist it?At this time, his soldiers all shouted anxiously, "Zhou Mu, go quickly, if you don't go, it will be too late."

Liu Wei turned his horse's head and ran to the north of the camp. There were enemy troops stealing the camp on both sides of the east and west. He could only break through to the north, followed by more than a thousand soldiers.

As soon as he ran to the gate of the northern camp, a flame suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp, and an army rushed in. The leader was holding a big iron spear. He was eight feet tall and two feet tall. He was riding on a handsome black horse, looking majestic. This person is Zhang Ren, who is known as the number one general in Bashu.

Zhang Rennian is about forty years old, and he also studied under Yuzhenzi of Hebei. He is a disciple of laymen and made his debut earlier, but he also got the essence of Yuzhenzi's martial arts. , has been in Bashu for 20 years, has never met an opponent, and is known as the Xichuan Gun King.

Zhang Ren is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also quite intelligent. He knew that Liu Wei would break out to the north in a hurry, so he led [-] troops to wait outside the gate of Beiying. Unable to bear the excitement, he led the army to meet him.

"Second son, surrender! I will spare your life." Zhang Ren pointed at Liu Wei with his spear and shouted,

Liu Wei didn't expect to meet Zhang Ren, and he was frightened. At this time, he found that there were not many soldiers on the side of the camp gate, so he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Boys, let's go up together!"

The soldiers rushed forward with shouts, and dozens of soldiers surrounded Zhang Ren from all sides. Liu Wei seized this opportunity, and a group of horses rushed towards the camp gate where there were few people, slashing wildly with big knives, "Get out of the way, block it!" I die!"

At this moment, a sneer came from beside him, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Ren appearing beside him. Liu Wei was frightened out of his wits and swung a knife at Zhang Ren. Pulling Wei's armor silk sash to his bosom, he captured Liu Wei alive.

When the soldiers saw that Liu Wei was arrested, they were all determined to fight again, and they all knelt down and surrendered. Zhang Ren threw Liu Wei to the ground and shouted: "Tied up!"

Several soldiers rushed up and tied Liu Wei up. At this time, Zhang Ren led his troops into the barracks and surrendered the deserters. Liu Wei was tied to a bullock cart, and the surrounding soldiers ran away in chaos. All ashamed, he lowered his head and thought in his heart, "Brother won't kill himself, that's all, let's be a rich man!" "

But just as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and found a knife protruding from his chest. He turned his head slowly, saw a black figure standing beside him, and faintly saw his ferocious smile.

Liu Wei suddenly recognized this person, he was actually his elder brother Liu Xun's confidant bodyguard, Liu Wei immediately understood that this was because his elder brother didn't give him a chance to live, so he yelled and fell off the bullock cart to die.
