Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 452 Li Yan
"Report!"

In the Chengdu Imperial Palace, a guard quickly ran in and knelt down to Liu Zhang: "The good news came from Jiameng Pass. General Zhang Ren defeated Zhang Lu. Now Zhang Lu's army has returned to Hanzhong!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Liu Zhang said three good things in a row, Long Yan was very happy, and said, "Zhang Yiling is worthy of being my number one general in Western Shu, and he defeated Zhang Lu in just half a month! When Zhang Ren comes back, I will reward you a lot!"

Zhang Ren returned to the court in victory, let's talk about Zhang Yi who conquered the Northern Army.

Zhang Yi, like Zhang Ren, also led [-] elite soldiers from Western Shu to attack Liu Fan in the north.

This Liu Fan is Liu Zhang's elder brother. He was originally an official in the court. Later, after Liu Yan became emperor, he fled back to Xichuan and stationed troops in the northern part of Yizhou. After learning that Liu Yan passed away and the throne passed to Liu Zhang, he felt natural If it was not the case, he launched an army to attack Liu Zhang, trying to seize the throne.

It is said that Zhang Yi led his army to Tongzi County, Guanghan County, and met Liu Fanjun.

This Liu Fan is also a mediocre person, but he has a general under his command, whose surname is Li and whose name is Yan.

Liu Fan heard that Zhang Yi was leading an army to attack, so he summoned all the generals in his tent to discuss.

"Everyone, now Zhang Yi is leading an army of [-] to attack me. Although I have occupied the county in the north of Yizhou, but there are only a few soldiers under my command, and Zhang Yi is quite famous in Shu, I am afraid I am not the one. Zhang Yi's opponent!"

Liu Fan spoke worriedly to the people under the tent.

After Liu Fan finished speaking, one of them stood up and said to everyone: "Although we are not Zhang Yi's opponent, we can ask Ma Shoucheng for help. Help, Zhang Yi is nothing to be afraid of!"

Everyone saw that the person who spoke was Pang Yi, a famous scholar in Xichuan, who was quite strategic.

"This! I also have this intention, but I don't know if Ma Teng will send troops to help!"

Liu Fan said with some worry.

"My lord, why worry, since Ma Teng is our ally, how can he stand by and watch us when we are in trouble, and besides, as long as we give him enough benefits for Ma Teng, how can he not be indifferent!"

Pang Yi said cunningly.

"Of course! Of course!"

After Pang Yi finished speaking, the civil servants and generals under Liu Fan all nodded in agreement.

"Well... that's good!"

Liu Fan was tempted by Pang Yi's words, so he wanted to agree to Pang Yi. When he asked Ma Teng for help, Li Yan, who had been sitting in the tent for a long time and hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up and said, "My lord, why bother so much? Although this person is brave, but his strategy is insufficient, as long as we use a little strategy, we can defeat this person, why should we ask that outsider to help us!"

As soon as Li Yan said this, Liu Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at Li Yan and asked, "Zhengfang, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Li Yan nodded his head and said: "Of course, Zhang Yi led his army from a long distance, and he must be exhausted. Our army is waiting for work, which is half the victory. If we use tactics again, Zhang Yi can capture it!"

"What's the best way? Come quickly!"

Liu Fan was hung up by Li Yan, but the excitement in Liu Fan's eyes could be vaguely seen.

"My lord, since it's a good strategy, how can I say it so easily? I also ask my lord to raise troops and go to Tongzi to fight against Zhang Yi. When the time comes, I will definitely help my lord to defeat Zhang Yi!"

Li Yan said mysteriously.

"That's good! Let's go to Zhang Yi for a while!"

Liu Fan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered [-] to [-] troops to station outside Tongzi County.

And the rest of Liu Fan's subordinates all cast dissatisfied eyes on Li Yan, especially Pang Yi, who said disdainfully: "Stupidity, grandstanding!"

But Liu Fan heard that Li Yan had a plan to defeat the enemy, so why would he care about such a little thing.

That night, Li Yan came to Liu Fan's tent and whispered in Liu Fan's ear.

After Liu Fan heard Li Yan finished speaking, the stone in his heart also fell, and he smiled happily.

The next day, Liu Fan led his troops to confront Zhang Yi.

Liu Fan led the horse out of the battle, pointed his whip, and cursed at Zhang Yi: "You are just a dog in our family, and you dare to come here to bite your master today. Could it be that you are getting impatient?"

Zhang Yi was quite upset when he was called a dog by Liu Fan, but he suppressed his temper and said to Liu Fan, "I still want to call you Mr. Young Master, but if you are stubborn and continue to fight against His Majesty, Then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

"Hehe, Your Majesty, what kind of family is Liu Zhang? Your Majesty, I am the eldest son of that old man. No matter how you talk about it, you can't talk about Liu Zhang. But that old man didn't know what to do, and passed the throne to Liu Zhang! Then what am I! what?"

It's fine if you don't mention the matter of the throne, but if you mention the matter of the throne, Liu Fan will be furious.

"Then you mean to be stubborn?"

Zhang Yi's face darkened, and he asked Liu Fan in a low voice.

"Hahahaha, Zhang Bogong, are you fucking blind? Didn't you see that I came with soldiers and horses?"

Liu Fan laughed and said.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yi waved his hand, indicating that the Yizhou army was ready to charge.

Liu Fan saw that the Yizhou army was preparing to charge, so he also retreated to his own formation, and ordered the soldiers of this formation to also get ready.

"Scale formation, charge!"

With a wave of Zhang Yi's hand, the Yizhou army formed a fish-scale formation and rushed forward.

But Li Yan waved his hand and said, "Form a wild goose formation! Resist the enemy!"

"Oh!"

The two torrents collided together, and the killing of the two armies was inseparable.

"Damn! This Yizhou army is so elite!"

Liu Fan looked at Li Yan from behind and asked, "Fangzheng, when will your plan be implemented?"

"No hurry, no hurry! My lord, fight again!"

Li Yan watched his side retreat steadily, and was also very anxious.

After fighting for another half hour, Li Yan said to the [-] cavalry behind him who had not moved: "Follow me!"

These five thousand cavalry were elite cavalry formed by Liu Fan who spent a huge sum of money to buy war horses from Ma Teng and personally selected from among the soldiers.

"Here!"

Five thousand cavalry followed closely behind Li Yan and walked towards the rear of the Yizhou Army.

"kill!"

Li Yan took the lead and rushed towards the Yizhou army camp.

"not good!"

Zhang Yi saw Li Yan rushing towards the camp behind him, he yelled, and then shouted to Leng Bao behind him: "General Leng, quickly lead some troops back to the camp for defense!"

Leng Bao also saw Li Yan, and after hearing Zhang Yi's order, she hurriedly wanted to retreat.

But the two armies had already entered a state of anxiety, and it was not so easy to draw out soldiers and horses. Moreover, after Li Yan led the cavalry away, Liu Fan led the remaining soldiers and horses to join the battle group.
