Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 857 Is This Retribution?

"General, please tell me, the villain will never hesitate to die!"

"The Han army is strong and strong, and they are invincible. There are no soldiers to adjust and no danger to defend in Shu. Yizhou will be my possession. However, there are still stubborn people who will not change the corner. God has the virtue of good life. General Zhou Xin does not want to do more evil. So I will send you back to Jiangyang. You can say that Li Yan was defeated. You can only escape by abandoning grain and horses. You are the lieutenant colonel of this county. After returning to Jiangyang, you will still lead the army. When our army arrives, you can take Zhang Yi and his son Confine him in the mansion, and I will personally persuade him to surrender, and if he wishes to surrender without losing his position as county guard, even if he does not surrender, he can work and study at home." It is one thing to do less murder, and Sha Zan is even more eager to win Jiangyang. "If Jiang Wei has arrived in Jiangyang after you go back, then you don't have to do anything, just send someone to inform me as soon as possible."

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Man was overjoyed, and locked Zhang Yi at home, making it easy for Kaesong to surrender.That night, Zhang Man rushed back to Jiangyang with his two surviving confidants.

On April 2th, Sha Zan bid farewell to Zhou Xin and Deng Ai, and led 2 people to Yongchuan and entered Jiangyang. Among the [-] people, half of them were barbarians, and after being disrupted, they were mixed into three battalions: [-] for Liao Hua, and [-] for each of Nagu and Lihu.When he came out of the city, he saw Wang Chuan's tomb from a distance, Sha Zan couldn't help the corners of his eyes getting wet, and made three bows from a distance.

Li Yan was defeated and fled to Dongguanghan, where he rested in Deyang.Deng Liang couldn't find his father, Deng Zhi, and was anxious to ask Hu Ji. Hu Ji rescued Deng Zhi with a face full of guilt, and Li Yanling blocked the pursuers one by one with grain trucks blocking the road to prevent fire.

Deng Liang was furious: "My father sacrificed his life to save the prime minister, but the prime minister cut off my father's retreat, why is that?"

Hu Ji hurriedly stopped him: "My nephew, wait a minute. I have tried to dissuade the prime minister, but otherwise, the Han army is bound to drive straight in, and Chengdu will not be guaranteed. We still have to obey the overall situation. I only hope that Bo Miaoji will be in charge..."

"The overall situation, what is the overall situation, only thinking about running for your own life, and abandoning the lives of others is the overall situation? My father only has 3000 people, how can he resist tens of thousands of troops!" Deng Liang was annoyed.With a low status, he wanted to see Li Yan, but was blocked by Li Yan on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.

Hu Ji also persuaded Deng Liang: "The governor Li Feng died in Jiangzhou. The prime minister lost his son and continued to serve in the army. My nephew needs to be considerate." Deng Liang had no choice but to send someone to inquire about Deng Zhi's news.

Li Yan was indeed very busy. He rectified the defeated army to stabilize the morale of the army, collected food and grass, strengthened the defense, sent someone to call the prefect Li Fu to come for reinforcements, and urged Chengdu to send reinforcements.

Only one day later, Deng Liang received a letter from Deng Zhi.After scrutinizing it again and again, Deng Liang confirmed that it was Deng Zhi's handwriting, and there were private matters that only the father and son knew about it, but he only had more than a hundred relatives around him, how could he be a good internal response?
Hu Ji and Li Yan are at odds, maybe something can be done?Deng Liang quickly dispelled this thought. Even if Hu Ji Zhonglie disagreed with Li Yan's approach, it was not enough to persuade him to surrender, and he might suffer instead.After thinking about it, he asked Li Yan to see Li Yan again through Hu Ji, only saying that he was so desperate to save his father that he was disrespectful to the prime minister. .

Li Yan was overjoyed at the inquiry, and comforted Deng Liang: "It wasn't because I just lived and trapped Bo Miao in desperation. I have all the connections in Yizhou, so I had no choice but to do it. Although Li Feng died, he deserved his death. I am only guilty of Bo Miao. I have written a letter." Recommend a good nephew, good nephew can go to Qi County to see Li Fu again, and ask him to quickly adjust the troops and supplies."

Deng Liang gladly took the order and led his people to Qi County.Li Fu was originally Meng Da's confidant, and after he took office according to Meng Da's instructions, he began to recruit young and strong people to expand his power. Li Yan sent someone to pass the order, and Li Fu urgently sent someone to Chengdu to ask Meng Da for instructions. However, Meng Da's order was not accepted, and Li Yan was also difficult to mobilize. Li Fu.

Seeing Li Fu, Deng Liang was very rude, and in the name of Li Yan pressed him why he neither sent troops nor sent food and grass. If he did not send troops again, he would be punished by military law.Li Fu secretly scolded Deng Lianghu for pretending to be a tiger, and also scolded Li Yan for being incompetent, taking advantage of others for his own defeat.Forced to smile: "Don't I know that the front is urgent, and I need to give me some time to prepare for the mobilization of troops and transport of food and grass, and if I send troops, how to defend Dongguanghan also needs to be arranged?"

"Since I'm here, I can't leave empty-handed. You give me two thousand peasants and some food and grass, so I can explain to the prime minister when I go back." Li Fu's words hit Deng Liang's heart.

"That's right." Li Fu was even more delighted.They ordered two hundred carts of grain and grass and two thousand civilian husbands to be handed over to Deng Liang. Watching Deng Liang leave, Li Fu couldn't help but sneer.

The two thousand peasants didn't understand at four or six, they only knew to eat food and work. Deng Liang led a hundred of his men to rush to Deyang with food and grass, and sent someone to deliver a letter to his father Deng Zhi.

After the messenger to Deng Liang came back, Zhou Xin and Deng Ai took Qu Fengxian as the vanguard to attack Deyang.After testing the siege for three days, they stopped attacking and waited for Deng Liang's news.

On April 24, Deng Liang arrived outside Deyang City. The city gate was right in front of him. He ordered all the grain trucks to be blocked in the road for fire prevention.Another order was sent to the two thousand civilians to shout in unison: "The Han army attacked and smashed Qi County! Come down quickly!"

The fire broke out in the rear, how could you not see it in the city, and how could you not hear the 2000 people shouting clearly? The Shu army was trapped in Jiangzhou to escape, and now it is trapped in Deyang. Could it be that the Han army had wings behind their backs?The morale of the army that had been stabilized just now collapsed like a bank bursting in an instant.

Before Li Yan and Hu Ji could react, someone secretly opened the city gate to escape, but found that the road was blocked by fire, and the Shu army was even more panicked, and more people rushed out of Deyang to find the mountain road to escape. Just give up and let the soldiers escape.

After seeing Deyang, there was a thick smoke. Deng Ai knew that it was Deng Liang who sent the signal and ordered the beating of drums to attack the city.The Han army shouted in unison and took the ladder to climb the city. It was still Qu Fengxian who took the lead, while Zhou Xin and Deng Zhi stood in front of the town to watch the battle.

Is this retribution?Li Yan stood on the top of the city like a clay sculpture, disheartened, and no longer had the heart to resist and restrain the chaotic army.Hu Ji was also speechless, perhaps silence is the best way of expression at this time.

"The last general will go first!" Hu Ji bowed his hands to Li Yan, and jumped down the city wall in full clothes. At the moment when he jumped high, he seemed to be standing under the banner of the Han army, vaguely like Deng Zhi...

Hu Ji fell into the city and died, and Li Yan was captured without a fight. The Han army took Deyang almost without bloodshed, and received nearly [-] troops from the Shu army.Qu Feng first recruited soldiers, Zhou Xin saw Li Yan's lost soul, and ordered Li Yan to be imprisoned. Li Yan did not drink, eat or speak, and died in prison soon after.

Deng Liang led two thousand peasants into the city to put out the fire, and it was as if Deng's father had met his son in a lifetime.

"I wanted Li Yan to think that I would take the opportunity to fight back, but unexpectedly he sent me to Qixian County to urge troops to raise food, so I had no choice but to follow suit. Fortunately, Li Fu refused to come in person, and only sent some peasants and food, so I came up with this strategy... ..."

Before Deng Liang could finish speaking, Deng Ai yelled, "Oh, it's not good!"
