Liu Wei was killed in the chaos. When the news came out, Liu Wei's power fell apart immediately. General Yang Pei immediately offered Mianzhu City to surrender, but Huang Quan fled the city in the chaos and disappeared. At this time, the news that the Jingzhou army had wiped out Yongkai's army had reached Chengdu, and the situation suddenly became tense.

Liu Xun didn't have time to liquidate Liu Wei's forces, nor did he have time to enjoy the joy of victory. He ordered the pardon of all civilian and generals who followed Liu Wei, and concentrated his forces to deal with the Jingzhou army's invasion.

Above the prefectural yamen hall, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, Yang Huai, Wang Lei, Dong He, Wu Lan, Fei Guan, Yin Mo and more than a dozen Yizhou civil and military officials gathered together to discuss emergency countermeasures with Liu Xun.

"The key is that we are short of troops!"

Zhang Ren said worriedly: "Including the reinforcements and Yang Wei's surrender, we only have a total of more than 1000 people in our hands, and I heard that the Jingzhou Army has more than 6 warships, which is at least [-] to [-] people. , the Jingzhou army attacked from the water, and our dangerous passes have lost their effect, the situation is grim!"

Everyone in the hall was silent. In fact, everyone knew that Liu Jing used various tactics to divide and weaken Yizhou's power.

More importantly, the brothers were in conflict, which greatly damaged the prestige of Liu Zhang's family. From the silence of the counties, it can be seen that the counties and counties are dissatisfied with the brothers' struggle for the position. It will take a long time to repair this kind of reputation damage, but now They are running out of time.

Liu Xunnai asked Wu Yi again, "General Wu, can the [-] troops in Hanzhong be withdrawn?"

The [-] troops in Hanzhong are the elite troops of Bashu. If they can withdraw, their strength will increase to more than [-] in no time, and they can barely compete with the Jingzhou army. Everyone looked at Wu Yi together. [

Wu Yi smiled wryly and said, "If I can withdraw, I will bring it back together this time. Zhang Lu led an army of [-] to confront us at Dingjun Mountain. If we retreat hastily, the entire army may be in danger of being wiped out. Don’t dare to act rashly.”

The hall was silent again. In fact, even if the Yizhou army in Hanzhong is requested to be withdrawn now, the exchange will take at least 20 days, and the time may be too late. After a moment of silence, Dong He said slowly: "Can we give it a try? The army of the county gathered in Chengdu, plus the army at the dangerous pass, can probably gather 2 people."

"Does Governor Dong think it's possible?"

Wang Lei sneered and said: "The Jingzhou army has already shown their knives in Bajun. Yong Kai's 2 troops were all wiped out by the Jingzhou army. They won the hearts of the Ba people. At least Badong, Brazil, Bajun and Jiangyang The counties have surrendered to Liu Jing, the remaining Hanjia, Qianwei, Guanghan, Dongguanghan, Zitong, Wenchuan, can these six counties make up [-] people? And there is an army, these prefects will send troops to fight with Jingzhou Are you fighting?"

"Maybe Wang Canjun is right, but how will we know if we don't try it? At least we can control it in Qianwei County." Dong He insisted on his opinion.

At this time, Yang Huai glanced at Dong He, and sneered coldly: "Actually, I think Governor Dong should avoid it wisely. Governor Dong really shouldn't appear on this occasion!"

"Yang Canjun, what do you mean by that?" Dong He asked Yang Huai angrily.

Zhang Ren also snorted coldly, and responded, "I think what Yang Canjun said makes sense. Governor Dong's son is a high-ranking official in Jingzhou. When it comes to the decisive battle between Jing and Shu, Governor Dong should really avoid it. It's not that he doubts Dong. The prefect has the heart of disobedience, but it is common sense."

"All right!"

Liu Xun interrupted Zhang Ren's words with some dissatisfaction, "We have enough internal strife, now that the enemy is at hand, everyone should focus on the overall situation!"

Now that Liu Xun opened his mouth, everyone stopped talking, and Dong He was also silent. Liu Xun sighed and said, "No matter what, the Jingzhou army cannot be allowed to reach Chengdu so smoothly. It must be effectively blocked. Who wants to lead the army to go south?" ?”

"Who wants to?"

Liu Xun asked twice, but no one answered. At this time, Wu Yi said: "If you don't think my job is humble and my ability is low, I am willing to lead the army south!"

Liu Xun was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I will give Duke Wu 5000 troops and [-] warships to go down the Minjiang River and stop the Jingzhou army in Qianwei County."

"My minister obeys!" [

. . . . . . . .

The crowd dispersed, and Liu Xun stood alone in front of the map in a daze. He heard that Liu Jing had a sand table map, which clearly marked the mountains, rivers, city passes, etc. in the middle of Sichuan. The master, but without such a clearer map, made him feel sad for a while, can he survive this test?

At this time, a deep voice came from behind him, "Actually, we are not desperate!"

Liu Xun turned his head and saw Fei Guan appearing behind him. Fei Guan was about [-] years old and an important representative of the Fei family. The Liu family has a very close relationship, and Liu Zhang's mother is from the Fei family.

The Fei family is known as the No. [-] family in Chengdu and has an important influence on the political situation in Yizhou. Not only does it own a large amount of land and wealth, but it also produces a large number of talents. Fei Guan, Fei Jun, and Fei Li are all high-ranking officials in Yizhou. He is also a well-known young talent in Yizhou, and together with Dong Yun, he is called the second outstanding talent in Yizhou.

Fei Guan stepped forward and said, "Actually, we still have three ways to go. The first is resistance. Chengdu has a population of more than 50 people, with [-] shi of grain stored in it, and money piled up in the treasury, mobilizing [-] to [-] young adults to participate. There is no problem in defending the city. If we defend the city for more than three months, maybe Cao Cao will take action against Jingzhou; the second is to abandon Shu and go to Beijing. You don't need to look at Liu Jing's expression when paying respects to officials."

"What about the third one?" Liu Xun asked again.

Fei Guan didn't speak, just smiled, and Liu Xun immediately understood that the third way was to surrender, he sighed and said: "How can I easily give away the foundation laid by my father and grandfather, try my best to resist! If you really defend Don’t stop, that’s God’s will.”

. . . . . . . .

After the Jingzhou Army defeated the Yinan coalition army, it won the support of the people in Badi. The county and county governments expressed their willingness to surrender to Liu Jing. four counties.

Liu Jing made Yan Yan General of Zhonglang, appointed Yan Yan's Zhang Yi as prefect of Ba County, then ordered Liao Hua and Jiang Wan to lead [-] troops to take over Baxi County, and ordered Huang Zhong to lead [-] troops as the vanguard. Guided by Yan, he first went to fetch Qianwei County, while he led the main force of the navy to rest in Jiangyang County for three days.

Three days later, the army continued to march westward by boat. The mighty fleet entered the Minjiang River from Nan'an County, and sailed northward with the help of the southeast wind.

Qianwei County is the most affluent county in Bashu. It is located in the middle of Bashu, adjacent to Shu County in the north, Ba County and Jiangyang County in the south, including today's Ziyang, Jianyang, Leshan, Meishan, Yibin and other areas. The county is vast and fertile. , with a population of nearly [-] households, is also the county with the largest population in Bashu. If Qianwei County is taken, the whole Bashu will be gone.

Qianwei County had 7000 garrisons, about 2000 of whom were stationed in various passes in the form of county soldiers, while the remaining [-] heavy troops were stationed in Wuyang County, Qianwei County, led by generals Liu Gui and Ling Bao.

Just as Huang Zhong, the vanguard of the Jingzhou Army, led his army northward, Wu Yi also led an army of [-] to Wuyang County. The two sides were scrambling to catch up with time.

Qianwei County is located in the transition zone between the mountains in western Sichuan and the plains in central Sichuan. It is divided into two by the Minjiang River. The west is surrounded by mountains and hills, while the east is dominated by plains, with occasional low hills and mountains.

The [-] vanguard army led by Huang Zhong marched rapidly among the low hills, with Yan Yan as the guide. All the way north, officials from various counties surrendered one after another.

On the one hand, it has something to do with Yan Yan being the guide, but the more important reason is that the Jingzhou Army annihilated the Yongkai army that went north. Everyone knows that if the Yongkai Army was not wiped out by the Jingzhou Army in Berkshire, then they will definitely encounter the most cruel The massacres and looting were all out of gratitude, and all the counties in Qianwei County surrendered to the Jingzhou Army one after another.

That evening, when the army arrived about [-] miles south of Wuyang County, Yan Yan asked with a smile: "General Huang, let's rush to Wuyang County with all our strength, or camp here, and go to Wuyang County after dawn tomorrow." ?”

Perhaps because of the difference in youth, Huang Zhong and Yan Yan got along very well along the way. Although Huang Zhong's military rank was one level higher than Yan Yan's, Huang Zhong still respected him and did not put on the airs of a superior at all.

Huang Zhong thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Yan thinks that when we go to Wuyang County, Liu Gui and Ling Bao will open the city to welcome us?"

Yan Yan shook his head, "They are not local generals, but Zhang Ren's generals. It is unlikely that they will surrender, and I have a hunch that the Chengdu army has already arrived in Wuyang County."

"Since this is the case, it's better to be safe and avoid an ambush."

Huang Zhong raised his head to look at the sky, and then looked at the surrounding terrain. It happened to be located on a high place with sufficient water, which was very suitable for camping. He ordered: "The army camps on the spot!"

Under the arrangement of the marching Sima, the soldiers began to build simple tents one after another. Huang Zhong sent more than a hundred spies to patrol around, while he and Yan Yan discussed ways to capture Wuyang City in a simple tent.

"Wuyang City is backed by Pengshan Mountain and facing the big river. The city is tall and strong, and there is enough food and grass in the city. If you want to attack hard, you can do it, but at least four times the defenders. And we only have 1 people. Even if we capture the city, it will be difficult. It will pay a heavy price, not to mention that reinforcements will arrive, and it will be almost impossible to attack the city at that time."

Huang Zhong nodded. He is a very cautious person and would not take risks. If this is the case, then he should wait for the main force of the state herdsmen to come over.

At this time, a soldier said at the door of the tent: "General Huang, General Yan, Jiang Taishou of Qianwei County sent someone here."

Huang Zhong and Yan Yan looked at each other, Yan Yan immediately asked: "What's the name of this person?"

"It seems to be called Zhao Zhu!"

Yan Yan said with a smile to Huang Zhong: "This person is the secretary of the prefect Jiang Heng, and his confidant. I have met him many times. He is a very capable person. His arrival must bring important news."

Huang Zhong immediately ordered: "Please come in!"
