The last three kingdoms

Chapter 214 Yan Yu's Ambition

Yan Yu is the Governor of Yong'an in the Kingdom of Shu, and Lu Kang is the Governor of Xiling in the Kingdom of Wu. The reason why there has been no incident on the border of Shu.

Yan Lu's meeting was purely "accidental", the reason for adding quotation marks is because this coincidence is Yan Yu's feeling, but for Lu Kang, it has been planned for a long time.The two were hunting in their respective borders, and they lived in peace. Unfortunately, Yan Yu shot a roe deer and ran to the border of Wu State. Lu Kang sent someone to return the prey. Set up a tent at the border to set up wine and drink with Lu Kang.

Because of their business relationship, the two are no strangers to each other, but this meeting was purely personal. At that time, both Yan Yu and Lu Kang drank a lot of wine, talking about the world, full of ambition.

Lu Kang challenged him with words, and Yan Yu expressed his feelings, asserting that Jiang Wei would be defeated and Chengdu would be lost. At this time, Lu Kang offered an olive branch and offered Yan Yu the seat of King of Chengdu. The two hit it off and conspired to seize Xichuan. .

Although Yan Yu is the governor of Yong'an, it is unrealistic to surrender the city directly. At least the deputy governor Luo Xian is a huge obstacle. What's more, when it comes to surrendering to Wu, at least half of the Shu army in Yong'an City cannot be used by Yan Yu .Therefore, Yan Yu secretly discussed with Lu Kang, entered Yong'an in the name of reinforcements to Sichuan, took advantage of the situation to attack Yong'an, and then marched into Chengdu.So Yan Yu sent a lot of bribes to Huang Hao, moved around in the court, and tried his best to lobby Soochow to send reinforcements.

Because of Zhuge Zhan's support, Yan Yu's plan went very smoothly. Yan Yu didn't spend a penny on Zhuge Zhan, but he was really surprised that he could get such strong support.

The next action was just like what they had planned. The Shu Han court sent Deng Liang as an envoy to the state of Wu to ask for help. Lu Kang led the army into Sichuan and took the opportunity to seize Yong'an.One thing that went wrong was that they underestimated Luo Xian. Luo Xian had already understood their conspiracy, but he had no evidence. Wu's invasion.

But that's not the point, leaking secrets is only a matter of time, without Luo Xian, the court of the Kingdom of Shu would only get the news a few days later, anyway, Wu Jun has already taken Yong'an and Jiangzhou, and it is only one step away from taking Chengdu .

Therefore, in the next expedition arrangement, Yan Yu won the opportunity to lead the right army. Before the Battle of Qingyangpu, Yan Yu got in touch with Lu Kang, and Lu Kang instructed Yan Yu to withdraw voluntarily after the battle began. On the battlefield, hand over the empty right wing to Wu Jun, who will complete the roundabout encirclement of Zhuge Zhan's troops.

As for Yan Yu not quitting on the battlefield, it was because Lu Kang didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, the strength of the Wu army already had an absolute advantage, and it was more than enough to deal with [-] Shu troops.What's more, although Yan Yu surrendered, the entire right army may not be united. If they really want to defect, the effect may not be good.

What's more, Lu Kang has other arrangements for Yan Yu. In the battle of Qingyangpu, Lu Kang is sure to win, but he has a big appetite. It is not just as simple as defeating the Shu army. Lu Kang wants to wipe out the whole army in Qingyangpu The Shu army completely destroyed the defense forces of the Shu Kingdom, laying a good foundation for the next step to take Chengdu lightly.

In order to achieve this strategic goal, it is necessary to capture Qi County, the rear base of the Shu Army.Qi County is not only the only way to Chengdu, but also the entire logistics base of the Shu Army. All the food, grass and supplies of the Shu Army are gathered in Qi County. Once Qi County is taken, it is tantamount to putting the Shu Army into a desperate situation.

The situation is very favorable for Lu Kang. The Shu army in Qixian County does not have heavy troops stationed there. Only Zhang Zun leads thousands of guards. As long as Yan Yu is sent to Qixian County to open the city gate by fraud, Qixian County will be at your fingertips. It is really impossible. , even if it is a strong attack, Yan Yu's troops still have the advantage.

After the battle of Qingyangpu started, when Zhuge Zhan was fighting in full swing in the middle, Yan Yu ordered the right army to withdraw from the position and rush towards Qixian.Many soldiers were baffled, but Yan Yu lied that Wu Jun sent troops to attack Qixian County, and he was ordered to return to Qixian County to aid him.All the soldiers of the You Army believed it was true. Soldiers took obeying orders as their bounden duty, so they naturally obeyed Yan Yu's orders. What's more, everyone knew the importance of Qi County, so no one doubted Yan Yu's actions.

When Yan Yu hurried back to Qi County, the city gates of Qi County were closed, which is not surprising, after all, it was in wartime, and even though Qi County was in the rear, its defenses were also tight.Yan Yu immediately ordered his soldiers to call the door.

Not long after, a head popped out of the city. It was Zhang Zun, the soldier Cao Shangshu. Zhang Zun looked at the troops under the city, and then at Yan Yu. Qi County?"

Yan Yu said in a deep voice from a distance below the city: "Zhang Shangshu, Zhuge Duhu received a secret report saying that the Wu people sent a team to bypass Qingyangpu to attack Qi County, so I specially ordered you to come to help defend Qi County. , ask Zhang Shangshu to open the city gate and allow someone to enter the city."

If someone else was guarding the city, they might have opened the city gate and let Yan Yu in at this moment. After all, Yan Yu is the deputy commander of the Shu army, so there is no reason to suspect Yan Yu's other motives.But it happened that Zhang Zun was guarding the city, and Zhang Zun was Zhang Shao's nephew, so his position was naturally consistent with Zhang Shao's. Moreover, Zhang Zun hated Huang Hao extremely, hated the house and black, so naturally he had nothing to do with Huang Hao's buddy, Yan Yu. Good impression, he said unhurriedly: "Are Wu people sneaking into Qi County? Why didn't I know? Besides, I didn't receive an order from Zhuge Duhu. The right general has a handwritten letter from Zhuge Duhu. Let's take a look."

Yan Yu frowned, and said: "I came down in a hurry. I just obeyed Zhuge Duhu's password and didn't take the handwritten order. Now the military situation is urgent, and the Wu people may attack at any time. It is important to guard Qixian County. I also ask Zhang Shangshu to open the city first." Let it go, and I will fill up the paperwork later."

At the beginning, Zhang Zun just wanted to make things difficult for Yan Yu, disgusting him, but he didn't expect that Yan Yu really didn't have a military order, which made Zhang Zun very puzzled. Zun looked around, but he didn't see half of Wu Jun at all. Coupled with Yan Yu's flickering words, Zhang Zun smelled something unusual, and of course he couldn't open the door.

"It's not that the right general is ignorant of the Han army's regulations. Those who let go without the order will be punished as dereliction of duty. If the right general wants to enter the city, he only needs to bring the order of Zhuge Duhu, otherwise, I will find it difficult to obey."

Yan Yu was furious, turned around and wanted to order his subordinates to storm Qi County.
