Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257 Zhang Su Returns to Chengdu

After knowing that Huang Zhong and Yan Yan had taken down two enemy camps.

Without any hesitation, Liu Qi led the army forward, passed through dangerous places, set up camp on the road, and prepared to seize the land of Luocheng.

It is only twenty miles away from the dangerous place to Luocheng.

As for Deng Xian who was captured, Liu Qi didn't say much, and asked people to withdraw and kill him without any hesitation.

In the city of Luo.

Some remnants of the defeated generals also fled back to Luocheng and reported the matter to Zhang Ren and Liu Gui.

Zhang Ren and Liu Gui were startled and very angry in their hearts, they obviously meant to let Leng Bao and Deng Xian guard the dangerous place and delay the advance of the Jingzhou army.

But Leng Bao and Deng Xian wanted to ambush the Jingzhou army, resulting in the current defeat. They also lost two camps and lost many soldiers. None of the soldiers who fled back had any effect at all.

If it wasn't for Leng Bao's death in battle and Deng Xian's life or death, he would have wanted to skin the two of them alive.

"General Zhang, now that the two battalions are in the hands of the Jingzhou army, the strategies we have set up before have no effect. Now there are less than [-] soldiers and horses in the city, plus the soldiers who have fled back. There is no way to stop them." The Jingzhou army has been fighting for several days!" Liu Gui said.

For some reason, he remembered Master Zixu's words in his mind, and felt very uneasy, didn't he see what happened to Leng Bao and Deng Xian?

"I wonder if General Liu can take countermeasures?" Zhang Ren asked.

Now he is also a little flustered, very irritable in his heart, and he can't think of any way to do it. After losing two battalions, the Jingzhou Army didn't have much loss. With a force of more than [-], even with the city wall as a support, he thought It is also difficult to hold on.

Liu Gui thought for a while, and said: "Send people to Chengdu and ask for help from the lord. As long as you can get an extra [-] to [-] troops, you will be sure to defend Luocheng, keep the Jingzhou army out of Luocheng, and fight for your lord's strategy. time!"

Zhang Ren frowned. Although this is a good way, if he really asks for help from Chengdu, doesn't it mean that he is a person with little ability? With an army of [-], even the Jingzhou Army can't stop him for several days , How will Liu Zhang treat him.

"General, this is an urgent matter!" Liu Gui persuaded.

He also understands why Zhang Ren is hesitant and silent, but if there is no reinforcements, it is not impossible to support for a few days, but it depends on how the Jingzhou army is planning to attack, so he does not want to leave the matter in an expectation, Sufficient soldiers and horses, that is the most important thing.

"So, I will write a letter and send people to Chengdu quickly!"

Zhang Ren also understood that he was not allowed to think too much about things, and could only follow Liu Gui's suggestion. If Luo Cheng was lost in his hands, it would be the greatest sin.

soon,

A fast horse came out of Luocheng and galloped towards Chengdu.

Among Chengdu.

Liu Zhang received the urgent letter sent by Zhang Ren from Luocheng. When he opened it, he was shocked and immediately summoned many subordinates.

Gather people to discuss countermeasures.

"Now that the two Jingzhou armies have joined together, they will be able to approach Luocheng in a short time. Moreover, Leng Bao, the defender of Luocheng, died in battle, and Deng Xian was captured. It is not known whether his life or death is unknown. General Zhang sent someone to ask for help. Can anyone tell me? Dare to lead troops there?" Liu Zhang said.

He also did not expect that the speed of the Jingzhou army would be so fast. Once Luocheng was captured, Chengdu would be in danger. No matter what, Luocheng must be defended.

Luocheng and Chengdu are left in his current territory, and Zhang Su left Chengdu in order to implement the strategy, and there has been no reply until now, and he does not know how things are going. The only thing he can rely on now is Zhang Ren, there are [-] soldiers in Chengdu, as long as Luocheng is defended, there is still a chance.

heard.

The civil and military officials present were also shocked. After all, they could understand the danger, but what countermeasures would they have?

"Luocheng cannot be lost. My boy is willing to lead his troops to Luocheng to help General Zhang defend Luocheng!" one person stood up and said.

Everyone looked, it was Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Xun.

"My son is willing to go, and he will be able to defend Luocheng, but I don't know who will be the assistant, who will be the deputy general?" Liu Zhang was overjoyed, looked at the crowd and continued.

"I'm willing to go with the eldest son!" Suddenly three people stood up.

Everyone regarded it as Wu Yi, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong.

Liu Zhang was overjoyed immediately, so he asked the three men to assist Liu Xun, and led [-] soldiers to support him.

When deciding matters of support.

Then I saw a soldier come in, cupped his hands and said: "Report, my lord, please see Mr. Zhang!"

"Quick, let him in!" Liu Zhang's face became even more joyful.

from time to time.

Everyone saw the busy Zhang Su walking in from the outside, his tired face couldn't hide the joy on Zhang Su's face, presumably it was the strategy Zhang Su proposed to Liu Zhang before, and it should have paid off.

"What's the matter?" Liu Zhang asked anxiously.

Seeing Zhang Su's face, he knew that what Zhang Su said before should be done, but he still wanted to get an affirmative answer from Zhang Su.

Zhang Su also had a happy expression on his face, and said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have not failed my lord's entrustment. I have already completed the matter. I only need to persist for two more days, and the Jingzhou army will definitely retreat without a fight!"

He is also very confident in his heart. Before he rushed back, he had already started to arrange actions. During the time he rushed back to Chengdu, it was enough for them to arrange. If he wanted to, he started to act. Now he is just waiting for the news to come.

"It's so good, God blesses Yizhou!" Liu Zhang laughed and said, "Master Zhang is the first to make the Jingzhou army retreat without a fight!"

"Thank you, my lord!" The joy on Zhang Su's face became even greater. He kept busy, wasn't it just for this sentence.

Everyone present didn't know what kind of riddle Liu Zhang and Zhang Su were playing, but they all had guesses in their hearts. After all, they could hear something about the Jingzhou army's retreat without a fight.

Everyone looked at Zhang Su differently. If the Jingzhou army were to retreat and keep the land of Yizhou, Zhang Su would definitely be the number one celebrity around Liu Zhang, and no one could compete with him. After all, this strategy was proposed by Zhang Su .

At last.

Liu Zhang also asked Liu Xun, Wu Yi, Wu Lan, and Lei Tong to set off with [-] Chengdu defenders to Luocheng to support Zhang Ren.

With [-] fresh troops, coupled with the soldiers and horses in Zhang Ren's hands, relying on the solidity of the city wall, they can definitely stop the Jingzhou army from attacking.

After all, the strategy has not yet taken effect, and the Jingzhou army has not yet retreated. It is still necessary to hold on to Luocheng and wait for the Jingzhou army to retreat before it can be considered a real victory.

However, with the good news brought by Zhang Su, it was overwhelmed by the clouds of everyone, and it also dispersed, just waiting for the final result. I also wanted to know what strategy Zhang Su proposed to Liu Zhang, and he disappeared for a while. , not in Chengdu.

And Luocheng is twenty miles away.

Liu Qi didn't know what was happening in Chengdu. All he had to think about was how to quickly capture Luocheng, so as to march into Chengdu and control the entire Yizhou in his hands.
