The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 656 Chapter 655
Yan Yan was willing to gamble and lead the crowd to surrender. The happiest person was Zhang Fei. He happily ran down from the tower, came to Yan Yan alone, and personally put Yan Yan, who knelt on one knee, to the ground. He helped him up, and said very happily: "I got General Yan today, and Yizhou is half captured by me!"

"A defeated general, how dare you speak courageously!" Yan Yan said shamelessly, "These days I have been fighting with General Zhang, and Yan is ashamed of himself, knowing that there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people, so I am just a frog in a well. "

Zhang Feidao: "General Yan won the three armies bravely, and his reputation shook Yizhou. I was just a little luckier than General Yan. If General Yan led his troops to fight with me from the beginning, I might not be able to capture this city." Wake up, I still want to thank General Yan for his mercy!"

Fazheng stood aside, seeing Yan Yan and Zhang Fei complimenting each other, he laughed and said, "You two generals, this is not a place to talk, let's go to the government office to discuss big plans together!"

In the hall of the government office, Zhang Feigao sat at the top, and Fa Zheng, Xiang Lang, Jian Yong, Chen Dao, Guan Ping, Peng Tuo, Liu Xian, Liu Du and others sat on the left and right sides of the hall, standing in the same position as civil and military officials. , while Yan Yan led more than a dozen generals to stand in the center of the hall, first bowed respectfully to Zhang Fei together, and then shouted in unison: "We see the Lord!"

The word "Lord" was extremely harsh to Zhang Fei. In the past, people always called him "Three Generals" and "Third Master", because the word "Lord" was usually used to address his elder brother Liu Bei.

Now that the word "lord" falls on Zhang Fei, he just feels that it is so awkward, and it is easy for him to recall all kinds of past events.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu left him one after another, and the bold words of the three brothers when they became sworn brothers all disappeared in an instant.Although they are dead, their will is still there. Zhang Fei will inherit the common will of the three brothers and continue the unfinished business of his two brothers.

Now, Jiangzhou has been taken, and Yan Yan has completely returned to his heart. There are soldiers, food, and people. The next step is to take Yizhou.

Yizhou will become the place where he rises up, even if there is only a corner of the country left, he must contend with Zhang Yan to the end.

It's just that these are things for later, and the top priority now is to win Yizhou immediately.But Yizhou has more than 6000 troops. Even if Yan Yan's troops are added, Zhang Fei has less than [-] troops. How easy is it to win Yizhou?

In the hall, Zhang Fei got off his seat and personally pulled Yan Yan to sit next to him to show grandeur. Yan Yan also got a certain amount of comfort in his heart, and his subordinates were also relieved a lot.

Next, Zhang Fei asked people to prepare food and drinks, and invited Yan Yan's subordinates to sit down. Everyone gathered together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

At the banquet, from the beginning to the end, Zhang Fei didn't mention any official business. It wasn't until the end of the banquet that Zhang Fei left Fazheng and Yan Yan.

Zhang Fei spoke first, "Mr. Fa, General Yan, the reason why I left the two of you alone is that you should know what I mean, right?"

Fazheng naturally knows it well, but Yan Yan is not stupid. He will never forget what Fazheng mentioned to him before, and he remembers even more clearly that the purpose of Zhang Fei's trip is not to come Liu Zhang, who surrendered to Yizhou, wanted to replace him.

For Yan Yan, before he would have thought that Zhang Fei was overreaching himself and was hitting a stone with an egg. To replace Liu Zhang, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

But now, Yan Yan got to know Zhang Fei again, and felt that Zhang Fei was indeed a courageous and resourceful person, at least much stronger than him.It was precisely because of this that Yan Yan willingly surrendered to Zhang Fei.

Both Fa Zheng and Yan Yan nodded, and said in unison: "My lord, please tell me what to do next. I will do my best to help my lord capture Yizhou."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and said: "I was able to take down Jiangzhou, which is heavily defended this time, all because of luck, and it was more or less related to General Yan. If I lay an ambush, I will definitely wipe out the whole army. And I am an outsider, so I don’t know much about the situation in Yizhou. You have been in Yizhou for a long time, so you should know Yizhou better than me. In fact, I left you here just to ask questions You guys, is there any way to win Yizhou in a short time and drive Liu Zhang from the position of the Lord of Yizhou?"

Fazheng and Yanyan looked at each other, but they didn't speak. Although Liu Zhang had no ability, all the generals under Liu Zhang were very capable people. It is so easy to deal with, and Liu Zhang still has more than [-] troops in his hands. It is not easy to take Yizhou in a short time.

But it all depends on human effort, Fazheng is resourceful and resourceful, Yan Yan is well-known, and with this Wen and Wu, he will definitely be able to come up with some good ideas.

After a while, Yan Yan spoke first: "Liu Zhang now has an army of 13, and all our troops combined are less than [-], and Yizhou is fertile and wild, and there are not enough troops. It was quickly captured by the Sichuan Army, and if we go too far alone, we may be in danger of being wiped out. I think that the most urgent thing is to recruit troops, recruit as many soldiers as possible, and slowly plan."

Fazheng said: "Although our army is small in strength, we have enough food and resources. As long as the soldiers unite as one, those Sichuan troops who have not been in battle for a long time are no match at all. Besides, General Yan is also a famous general. There were many people in the Sichuan army. They all served under General Yan's subordinates. As long as General Yan raises his arms, with General Yan's appeal, many people will be summoned. Moreover, Liu Zhang doesn't know what's going on here. We can preemptively lead the troops to Chengdu Attack in the direction and kill Liu Zhang by surprise. With the bravery of the lord, there is no opponent in the Sichuan army. As long as the speed is fast enough, we have the hope of approaching the city of Chengdu. If it is delayed, it will delay the opportunity and leak Once Liu Zhang has made preparations and ordered all the passes to be sealed off, even if we have an army of [-], we will still arrive at the city of Chengdu in a short time."

Yan Yan argued: "However, the lack of troops will seriously affect our advance speed. If the logistics supply cannot keep up, we are likely to go deep alone and fall into a place of eternal doom. Jiangzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The location is excellent, it can be attacked and defended. Even if Liu Zhang is aware of it, we don’t have to be afraid. Soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, and at worst they can be defeated. I think it’s better to take every step and fight steadily, at least not There are too many worries."

Fazheng said: "Our army is not strong, but there is no need to worry about the strength of the troops. As long as there is trouble on our side, those Dongzhou soldiers who are not willing to be suppressed by Liu Zhang will definitely respond. Although Liu Zhang sent the Dongzhou soldiers It was divided into several parts, but their bones and tendons were broken from beginning to end. As long as there is the slightest news, they will quickly unite and deal a heavy blow to Liu Zhang's army. It will come in a steady stream. The law of war says that soldiers are precious and fast, if the front is afraid of wolves and the back is afraid of tigers, then we might as well do nothing!"

After listening to what Fazheng and Yan Yan said, Zhang Fei said, "What you said is very reasonable, but judging from our current situation, we can't take too many risks. Mr. Fa, the Dongzhou soldiers you mentioned just now, you How can you be so sure they will join us?"

Fazheng said: "I am a good friend with Li Yan, the leader of the Dongzhou Army stationed in Langzhong. Besides, there are other generals of the Dongzhou Army who have also met with me. We sit together and talk about everything. , what I hear the most is their complaints against Liu Zhang, and the level of resentment has reached the extreme. Li Yan has now been regarded as the only leader by the Dongzhou soldiers. As long as he is willing to join us, the rest of the Dongzhou soldiers will naturally join Us. And Li Yan is also waiting for an opportunity to turn against him and fight back. Li Yan's father was among the generals of the Dongzhou soldiers killed by Liu Yan, but everyone who knew Li Yan's identity was dead. , that’s why Li Yan was able to survive. And these years, Li Yan has been waiting silently. As long as I write a letter and tell Li Yan about our affairs, Li Yan will definitely respond and contact the rest of Dongzhou soldiers together Resist Liu Zhang. At that time, our troops will not have to worry..."

After Zhang Fei heard it, he made a decisive decision and said to Fazheng, "Sir, are you sure you can ask Li Yan to join?"

Fazheng nodded heavily, Zhang Fei suddenly patted the table in front of him, and said loudly: "Okay! It's not too late, let's do what we say, and start to rectify the troops tomorrow morning and send troops to Chengdu!"

"Wait!" Fazheng stopped suddenly.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Zhang Fei asked.

Fazheng said: "This matter should not be rushed. It is better to be outsmarted than to attack. Before everyone knows about Jiangzhou's affairs, we can use General Yan's reputation to make a big deal first!"

"What's the big deal?" Yan Yan asked.

Fazheng said: "General Yan, it will be your birthday in a few days, right?"

Yan Yan nodded and asked, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Fazheng said: "Just taking advantage of this opportunity, General Yan issued a post to invite nearby officials to Jiangzhou to celebrate. During the banquet, we can take advantage of the opportunity to do things. If they are willing to join us, let them live. Yes, only to kill."

Zhang Fei said: "I understand, this is a Hongmen banquet!"

Yan Yan said: "Xiao Zhi, what to do, you just look at the plan, I will listen to you!"
