The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Yan Yan?

This is of course a very familiar name to Liu Zhang. Yan Yan is a famous general in Yizhou, and he is the oldest general in Yizhou. Long before Liu Zhang's father Liu Yan entered Shu, Yan Yan had already served as the guard of Shu It has been a heavy responsibility for many years.After Liu Yan became the shepherd of Yizhou, he wanted to win over the local forces in Yizhou, and he dared not neglect this veteran general. Yan Yan was very popular with Liu Yan and was worshiped as the prefect of Berkshire.Berkshire is located in the southeast of Yizhou, adjacent to Jingzhou. It is an important barrier on the southeast side of Yizhou. If Berkshire is lost, the enemy can go up the Tuojiang River and approach Chengdu.Yan Yan was appointed as the prefect of Berkshire, which shows his high status and ability.

Hearing Pang Xi's proposal to let Yan Yan lead the reinforcements, Liu Zhang's flustered expression receded slightly.As Yan Yan is the number one veteran in Yizhou, Liu Zhang trusts Yan Yan more than Zhang Ren.

However, Liu Zhang never made up his mind to resist Cao Jun.

"My lord, let Old General Yan lead the troops, and we will be able to repel Cao's army." Seeing that Liu Zhang was still hesitating, Huang Quan gritted his teeth and said, "If Old General Yan is defeated by Cao's army, it will not be too late for my lord to surrender again. The lord is a shepherd of Yizhou and a relative of the Han family, as long as he is willing to surrender, no matter how soon or late, Cao Cao will treat him generously."

The second half of the sentence was just said by Huang Quan to appease Liu Zhang. With Huang Quan's loyalty, he would rather be broken than broken, and would never hope that Yizhou would belong to Cao Cao's rule.And in Huang Quan's view, as long as Yan Yan rushed to Chengdu with reinforcements, Cao Jun would have no reason to win.Moreover, Yan Yan is not comparable to someone like Leng Bao, and will never make such superficial and fatal mistakes as underestimating the enemy when the two armies are at war.

"Then, let's do this, and pass on the old general Yan to rescue Chengdu." Liu Zhang finally gave instructions, although his tone was not firm.

Just as Liu Zhang's order to transfer Yan Yan to Chengdu was issued, Gao Shun's letter persuading him to surrender was sent to Huang Quan's study.

After Li Yan surrendered to Cao Cao, Huang Quan already expected that Li Yan would probably explain everything in Chengdu to Cao Jun, and maybe he would tell the other party that Liu Zhang was vacillating between surrendering and surrendering. Knowing that Liu Zhang has a weak personality, he will probably send a letter to persuade him to surrender.

Therefore, Huang Quan had already told Liu Zhang's close servant that if there was a letter sent from Cao Ying, it should be handed over to Huang Quan directly, and Liu Zhang must not read it.

Huang Quan was very prestigious in Yizhou, and the servants in Liu Zhang's mansion were all selected by Huang Quan, so they had a relationship with Huang Quan, so those servants did not disobey his orders.

Although Huang Quan himself knew that such behavior was a taboo for ministers, Huang Quan knew better how cowardly Liu Zhang was.Today he managed to persuade the other party to cancel the idea of ​​surrender, but if he saw any persuasion letter, maybe Liu Zhang would change his mind in the next moment and surrender again.

Huang Quan would never allow such a thing to happen.Therefore, any letter sent from Cao Ying, no matter what the content is, must be intercepted, so that Liu Zhang will not know anything.

Huang Quan had already made up his mind, after the battle, he would go to plead guilty to Liu Zhang himself, and no matter what kind of punishment he received, he would have no objection even if he was dismissed from office.

Looking at the persuasion letter in his hand, which was half persuading and half threatening, Huang Quan sneered slightly.Although he has no plan to let Yizhou surrender Cao, he might as well make a false deal with the other party.After all, what Yizhou lacks most is time. Cao Jun has conquered Mianzhu and will arrive in Chengdu in a short time, while Yan Yanyuan is in Berkshire. Even if he returns to aid at full speed, it will take a few days.It would be great if we could use Cao Ying's surrender letter to buy a few days.

Therefore, Huang Quan sent envoys to Cao Ying to discuss "surrender" matters, but the envoys repeatedly wrangled over some minor conditions, making it difficult for Cao Jun to obtain the final decision to surrender in Yizhou.

Although Gao Shun was impatient, envoys from the city of Chengdu had been sent to discuss matters of surrender, so Cao Jun was naturally embarrassed to launch an attack on Chengdu.At first, Gao Shun thought it was a tactic by Chengdu to delay the troops, so as to wait for the troops from Jiange Pass to come back for reinforcements.Therefore, Gao Shun sent out scouts early to go deep into Jiange Pass to investigate. Once there was any movement in the army there, he would not care about March 21 and [-] and attack Chengdu first.

However, there has been no movement in Jiange Pass, so Gao Shun also thought that he was being overwhelmed. Maybe the Chengdu side really just wanted to get some more benefits after the surrender.

On the third day after the conquest of Mianzhu, Gao Shun was driven almost mad by a piece of news that Yan Yan, the prefect of Berkshire, led an army of [-] troops and entered Chengdu.

Gao Shuncai realized that he had made a big mistake. He kept his eyes on the direction of Jiange Pass, but completely ignored the possibility of sending reinforcements from other places.

How could Gao Shun have no impression of Yan Yan, he is a famous general who can be compared with Zhang Ren and Li Yan!Not to mention, he also brought 4000 people into Chengdu City, bringing the number of troops in the city to [-]!

And on my side, there are only more than [-] soldiers, how can I capture Chengdu City, which has twice as many defenders as my own?
