The Three Kingdoms are invincible

Chapter 399 Wu Jun Attacks Shu

After Yan Yan led the reinforcements into Chengdu City, Gao Shun led the army to stay in Mianzhu City, as if he had retreated to Fu City before.

The difference from the previous situation is that there is enough food in Mianzhu, enough to feed [-] soldiers for half a year, so there is no need to worry about running out of food.

But even so, over time, the morale of soldiers will eventually decline.However, Gao Shun has nothing to do with Chengdu City at this time. Before Zhao Yun came, his strength was almost the same as that of Li Yan in Mianzhu City. Then launched an attack on Mianzhu.Now that the troops in Chengdu are more than twice as strong, how can Gao Shun launch an offensive against Chengdu?

Seeing that Cao Jun had no movement in Mianzhu City, Liu Zhang let go of his hanging heart, and he praised Yan Yan very much.

After Yan Yan gained Liu Zhang's further trust, he also asked Liu Zhang for orders, hoping that Zhang Ren would send another five thousand soldiers back from Jiange Pass.

Yan Yan knew very well that although his army was twice as strong as the opponent's, his combat power was far behind. It was more than enough to defend the city of Chengdu, but it was impossible to annihilate Cao's army. , can only become a confrontation between the two armies.Now Cao Jun lives in Mianzhu, which is not as embarrassing as he used to live in Fucheng. If there is a stalemate, the two sides can face each other for several months.This made Yan Yan a little worried. He led his troops to help Chengdu, and there were not many troops left in Berkshire.In case there is an army from Jingzhou to attack, the southeast gate of Yizhou will be wide open.

Therefore, Yan Yan was not satisfied with defending the city, but wanted to annihilate Cao Jun, but obviously he could not do this by himself, so he proposed to Liu Zhang that Zhang Ren lead a small number of troops back to help.With the danger of Jiange Pass, even if there are 5000 fewer people, it is definitely not something that Cao Jun can break through.

With 5000 more people in Chengdu, Cao's army can definitely be wiped out. Zhang Ren's reinforcements can also detour through Zitong to reach the rear of Mianzhu like Leng Bao did before. At that time, Cao Jun in Mianzhu City will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and his general Gao Shun will be the leader.

Originally, Yan Yan thought that Liu Zhang would immediately agree to his proposal after hearing her proposal, but unexpectedly, Liu Zhang fell into deep thought.

Liu Zhang didn't want to quarrel too much with Cao Cao. You must know that he had already embraced the idea of ​​surrender. Although the situation has improved now, Liu Zhang's fear of Cao Jun has not faded much.Liu Zhang planned to send envoys to Xuchang to subdue Cao Cao after repelling Cao Jun this time, and even sent a large amount of gold and silver treasures, just to ask Cao Jun not to suppress the situation.Gao Shun is the general of the Cao camp and also Cao Cao's sister-in-law. If he is killed by the Yizhou army, Cao Cao will be furious, and he may use all his power to invade Yizhou.Facing the soldiers of Cao Cao's whole country, how can Yizhou have the power to resist?

Liu Zhang informed Yan Yan of his concerns, but Yan Yan didn't think much about it, and said, "Since my lord is worried that Cao Cao will retaliate if he kills Gao Shun, then I will capture him alive."

Liu Zhang still didn't say a word. After a long time, he said slowly: "Isn't it okay to just keep fighting like this? When Cao's army can't be exhausted, they will naturally retreat. Why bother."

"My lord, there is a lot of food in Mianzhu City. Once we confront each other, it will last for several months." Yan Yan knelt down and begged, "The so-called long nights and many dreams, who knows what will happen in a few months?"

Seeing an old general kneeling in front of him, Liu Zhang really couldn't bear it, and said: "In that case, I will send an order for Zhang Ren to lead the army to help, but old general Yan must remember not to harm General Cao Shun's life."

——————————————————————————————————————————————————— On the same day that Liu Zhang ordered Yan Yan to be transferred to the Chengdu guard, a man dressed as a scribe Middle-aged people start from Chengdu, enter the Yangtze River from the Tuojiang River, and go to Jianye along the Yangtze River.

"I am Falin, the servant of Fazheng's family in Yizhou, and I have seen Wuhou." After arriving in Jianye, the middle-aged man went to visit Wuhou Sun Jian directly as a Yizhou envoy.

"What's the matter, isn't it because Yizhou lost to Cao's offensive and came here to ask for help?" Sun Jian naturally heard about Cao Cao's attack on Shu, and he thought that the person in front of him was ordered to come to Jiangdong to ask for help.

Zhuge Liang beside Sun Jian heard Falin's words, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.Although the other party only said a word of greeting, judging from his voice and expression, Zhuge Liang could vaguely guess the purpose of the person in front of him coming to Jiangdong.

After Sun Jian and Cao Cao divided Jingzhou, Zhou Yu wanted to personally lead the army to garrison Jiangxia, so he left Zhuge Liang with Sun Jian as a counselor.Although Zhuge Liang didn't really assist Sun Jian, as long as Liu Bei was held in Jiang Dong's palm, he would not be afraid of Zhuge Liang's hindrance.

Liu Bei is now arranged by Sun Jian to be the prefect in Wucheng. Wucheng is the place where Sun Jian made his fortune. Sun Jian was originally granted the title of Marquis of Wucheng.Therefore, no matter how good Liu Bei is at being eloquent and demagogic, Sun Jian's power in Wucheng is still unshakable. In addition, Liu Bei is surrounded by Zhou Yu's cronies, so he naturally has no development in Wucheng.

At first, Sun Jian saw that Liu Bei was idle and wanted him to attack Shanyue, but after he revealed his intention to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu refused.For one thing, if Liu Bei defeated Shanyue and made meritorious service, it would be difficult for him to award rewards due to his status. If the reward is light, it will inevitably be suspected that the reward and punishment are unclear. If the reward is heavy, it may give the opponent an opportunity to expand his strength.Second, if Liu Bei is defeated and dies unfortunately, then Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others will have no restraints. When the time comes, leaving will be a small matter, and birth and change will be a major matter.Therefore, under Zhou Yu's persuasion, Sun Jian also gave up his thoughts, and let Liu Bei stay in Wucheng peacefully.
