The last three kingdoms

Chapter 271
Different from Pang Hui's purpose, whether Guan Yi runs or not has nothing to do with Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian's goal is to take Luocheng. Before Luocheng was captured, Guan Yi's Shu army was Zhang Xian's biggest enemy. Now enter After entering Luocheng, Zhang Xian's enemy will automatically switch to Panghui's Wei army.In order to monopolize Luocheng, Zhang Xian launched an attack on Pang Hui's army who entered Luocheng at the same time.

In order to deal with the Wu army's attack, Pang Hui naturally had no energy left to pursue Guan Yi. He could only sigh with hatred, and while refusing to defend the east city of Luo County, he sent someone to report to Zhonghui.

Zhong Hui was furious at this time, and Pang Hui on the right left his post without permission, leaving the right wing empty and surrounded by Wu Jun's troops on the left. far.Zhong Hui was furious, and was preparing to have Pang Hui summoned to question him.

Everyone around looked at each other in blank dismay. Zhong Hui was known for his strict military management. Xu Yi, the former vanguard officer, was beheaded because he missed a military plane. Yi's charges can be much bigger.

At this moment, Pang Hui sent someone to report that he had captured Luocheng, and Zhong Hui couldn't help but turn his anger into joy.You must know that Wei Jun's primary goal this time is to take Luocheng, and fighting Wu Jun is also for this purpose. Although Pang Hui left his post without authorization, he took advantage of the situation to take Luocheng. The result naturally made Zhong Hui very satisfied.

However, according to Pang Huisuo's report, it was not only the Wei army led by Pang Huisuo who entered the city at this time, but also the Wu army who entered Luocheng.

Zhong Hui immediately led his troops into the city without hesitation. Luocheng is an important pass leading to Chengdu. Whoever controls Luocheng will have the initiative to enter Chengdu. Bing reinforcements, ready to take over Luocheng.

Of course, Lu Kang also had the same idea. After receiving Zhang Xian's report, Lu Kang led his troops into Luocheng immediately.

The Wei army controlled the east city of Luo County, and the Wu army controlled the west city of Luo County. The two sides continued to increase troops to Luo County, and moved the main battlefield of both sides from outside the city to inside the city.

Seeing that a new round of mutual tearing was about to start in Luo County, but to everyone's surprise, the situation in Luo County became strangely calm.

Because both Zhong Hui and Lu Kang noticed the billowing smoke rising from the direction of Chengdu.

Could it be that someone took the lead?Both Zhong Hui and Lu Kang were startled. With such thick smoke covering the sky and the sun, it was obvious that a shocking change had taken place in Chengdu. Could it be that there really was an oriole behind?

Zhong Hui suspected that this was the move of the Wu people. On the one hand, he sent troops to Luocheng to intercept him, and on the other hand, he secretly sent another force to attack Chengdu. once.

Lu Kang also thought the same way. The state of Wu never sent a single soldier to Chengdu. Now that the incident in Chengdu happened, it was probably caused by the surprise attack sent by the state of Wei. This time there will be no repeat of the same trick.

The generals of both sides were full of worries, and all their attention was directed to Chengdu. Luocheng, which was originally very important, has become insignificant.

Zhong Hui decisively ordered that the whole army not entangle with Wu Jun in Luocheng, and advance to Chengdu at full speed.

Naturally, Lu Kang was not to be outdone, and ordered the Wu army to assemble, leave Luocheng, and rush to Chengdu.

The minds of both parties were in Chengdu, and they both wanted to see what happened in Chengdu. Two armies, like two torrents, meandered away from Luocheng and traveled southward.

Fortunately, after leaving Luocheng, they entered the flat and boundless Chengdu Plain, where the rice fields are criss-crossed and the roads are smooth. Wei Jun chose the road to the west, and Wu Jun chose the road to the east. Fighting for the road and tearing each other up, even though they are walking side by side, it is not a problem.

The farther you go south, the denser the smoke in the sky becomes thicker, almost covering most of the sky, and even the weather becomes gloomy, with the sun dimmed in the thick layer of smoke.

At night, the scene became even more frightening. The entire southern sky was glowing red, and it could be seen that there was a sea of ​​flames in the direction of Chengdu, and the flames rose into the sky.

Zhong Hui and Lu Kang were puzzled as to who lit the fire in Chengdu. Now the only way to solve the mystery in their hearts is to visit Chengdu in person to see what happened.

Wei Jun and Wu Jun traveled day and night, not even daring to stay in camp for a moment, and rushed all the way to Chengdu.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

It was none other than Liu Yin himself who ignited the fire in Chengdu.

However, it was not Liu Yin who made the decision to burn the city but the successor Liu Chan.

When Liu Chan left Chengdu, he boarded the car and looked at the towering city walls. He could not help sighing. It has been 17 years since he became emperor at the age of 41. In these 41 years, Liu Chan has never left the luxurious palace in Chengdu. Today, however, it is a yellow beam, and the glory and wealth of the past are like a passing cloud. Forced by the situation, Liu Chan had no choice but to embark on the road of escape in Nanzhong.

"Burn it, burn it all!" Liu Chan ruthlessly ordered to burn Chengdu. Since all this is no longer his own enjoyment, he must not leave it to the enemy to sit back and enjoy it.

Almost all the ministers did not object to Liu Chan's edict. It is an established national policy to strengthen the walls and clear the country. The scholars and civilians in Chengdu have already moved out, and the money, food and materials have also been shipped out. The only thing that cannot be taken away is the real estate. , These things can only be used to support the enemy. Even if they counterattack Chengdu in the future, the enemy can rely on the city walls of Chengdu to stop them. Leaving Chengdu to the enemy is undoubtedly the most stupid act.

Back then, Dong Zhuo was forced to move his capital under the siege of the Kwantung Allied Forces. Before leaving, he also burned Luoyang. Although Dong Zhuo's brutality is well-known in the world, from a strategic point of view, his decision is undoubtedly correct.

Liu Yin's mood is also complicated. As a traveler of later generations, he is disgusted with this kind of behavior that destroys human civilization. Maybe after this fire, there will be no such handed down work as "Shu Du Fu" in the world. Chengdu His glory will also be turned into the dust of history. He may be infamous like Dong Zhuo when he ignites this fire.

But today, Liu Yin has no choice. Since he has chosen to go against the current in troubled times, there are many things that should be given up, and must be given up. Maybe the imperial city of Chengdu will be rebuilt one day, and maybe there are still waiting for him. A wider stage, but at this moment, he must shoulder the merits and demerits of history, crimes and punishments.

A gleam of determination flashed across Liu Yin's eyes, and he lit the first fire with his own hands.
