The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Even if these people cannot all succeed, as long as there are a few cities, they can be quickly occupied by Liu Zheng's troops.

The entire Yingchuan County will gradually fall and become Liu Zheng's territory in a short time.

"Now everyone, let's discuss how to present a certificate of honor to His Majesty Liu Zheng!"

Guo Jia said something to everyone present, and at the same time, he slowly told the people present what he had thought of before.

Yingchuan has twelve counties under its jurisdiction, which correspond to the twelve major families in Yingchuan. Now, except for Xun Yan, all other families are willing to express their allegiance to Liu Zheng.

Guo Jia needs to discuss with these people one by one the time and the password to enter the city.

In this way, when Liu Zheng's army arrives, the two sides can take down the entire Yingchuan County in the fastest time.

The two sides discussed at Guo Jia's residence for a whole day, and then they dispersed.

On the same day, Guo Jia also left the Guo Mansion, returned to Liu Zheng's military tent, and returned to his command.

With his conspiracy with these people in the Guo Mansion today, Liu Zheng's army will be enough to enter Yingchuan County in a few days.

Two days later, Guo Jia returned to Xiangcheng County, where Tai Shici and Gan Ning are now stationed.

The army has been stationed here for several days, and has not attacked Yingchuan County, mainly because it is in the middle of Yingchuan County and Runan County.

There are still many cavalry from Guan Yu in Runan County. Liu Zheng is worried about storming Yingchuan, and worried that those cavalry will come around and attack his own army.

Although the enemy's cavalry is not too many, after all, there are tens of thousands of cavalry, and the lethality still exists.

If you are flanked back and forth, it is easy to suffer heavy casualties.

Just wait for Guo Jia's results to come out, and it's not too late to send troops in the next few days.

Now, Guo Jia returned and told Liu Zheng the news, saying that he had persuaded the twelve major families in Yingchuan County that as soon as the army arrived, those families would open the city gates as much as possible to welcome Liu Zheng The army entered the city.

This is not difficult, because Liu Bei's troops stationed in Yingchuan County are not many, and most of them hit the front.

There are very few Liu Bei's defenders in the rear, and even if there are, it is a small number.

With this amount of manpower, there is simply no way to keep the troops of these big families.

With Guo Jia's information, Liu Zheng was quite excited, and immediately asked Tai Shici to lead the army to move forward.

The army immediately pushed towards the frontline cities in Yingchuan County.

The first to bear the brunt are the two cities of Yangzhai County and Yingyang County.

Yangzhai County is where Guo Jia's residence is located. Guo Jia has been operating in Yangzhai for decades. The county magistrate and Guo Jia are both excellent. Even the county magistrate has secretly liaised with Guo Jia. Directly lead all defenders to surrender together.

There was no battle at all. Tai Shici's troops arrived in Yangdi County, leaving only 1000 troops stationed in Yangdi, taking over all the defense of Yangdi, and then took the troops and continued northward.

Want to further attack Changsha and other places.

On the other side, Yingyang County is actually not much different from Yangzhai's side. The small family lurking here, according to the plan with Guo Jia, Gan Ning's people arrived here.

Immediately launched an attack from the inside of the city, some guards did not stop Gan Ning's army at all.

Here in Yingyang, Liu Bei's [-] soldiers and horses guarded. After a gate of Yingyang County was breached, the [-] defenders were frightened, and immediately abandoned Yingyang County, and ran directly to Xuchang along the other side.

In Xuchang, Liu Bei's main force is still here.

Just when Liu Zheng's army began to attack Yingchuan County, Xun Yan returned to Xuchang.

On Liu Bei's mansion.

Jian Yong was quite anxious at the mansion, thinking about the next plan for Liu Bei.

The current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Liu Bei. Liu Bei can only wait, waiting for the friendly forces on the other two battlefields, which can bring some restraint to Liu Zheng.

It can even severely injure Liu Bei, put pressure on Liu Zheng, and make Liu Zheng's troops have no time to take care of the battlefield in Jingzhou for a while.

But it will take time. Even if the other two armies can put pressure on Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng will not be able to withdraw in a short time.

When Liu Bei was still hesitating whether to stick to Yingchuan, Jian Yong came over.

"Mr. Jian Yong, why are you here?"

"My lord, Xun Yan from the Xun family is asking to see you."

"Xun Yan came to see me?"

"Hurry up please."

Soon Jian Yong brought Xun Yan over.

As soon as he saw Xun Yan, Liu Bei showed the appearance of a respectful corporal.

"Mr. Xun Yan, why are you here?"

"General, it's not good, I have something important to tell you."

Xun Yan returned home immediately after discussing with Guo Jia that day, and after discussing with the elders in the family, he immediately knew the attitude of these elders in the Xun family.

The members of the Xun family finally chose to continue to support the Han court. After all, the Xun family has been in business for so many years, and it is impossible to give up completely.

They still want to blog, so they plan to inform Liu Bei and Guo Jia of their secrets in advance.

The first thousand and 320 chapters run away

Liu Bei knew that Xun Yan's sudden request for a meeting must not be a trivial matter.

Especially Xun Yan's serious expression at the moment, hesitating to speak.

This made Liu Bei even more contemplative.

"Mr. suddenly came to visit, what's the important thing?"

Xun Yan opened his mouth to Liu Bei, saying that he had something important to tell.

This made Liu Bei more interested, and hurriedly asked back.

Now Xun Yan didn't talk nonsense, and told Liu Bei what he had discussed with Guo Jia and his party at Guo Jia's mansion a few days ago.

"General, a few days ago, our big families in Yingchuan received invitations from Guo Jia, asking us to go to Yangzhai County for a gathering, but Guo Jia was uneasy and wanted to persuade our big families in Yingchuan to join Liu Zheng. "

"People from other families had agreed to Guo Jia at that time, only our Xun family delayed it and returned to Xuchang immediately to inform the general."

Xun Yan told Liu Bei in detail what happened at Guo Jia's mansion that day.

In the middle of Xun Yan's speech, Liu Bei's face gradually dimmed.

He could already hear the danger from Xun Yan's previous words.

When Xun Yan finished speaking, Liu Bei still couldn't believe it.

"Mr. Xun Yan, is this serious?"

"Exactly!"

Xun Yan knew Liu Bei's concerns, and when Liu Bei asked this question, he quickly answered Liu Bei.

At this moment, Liu Bei was stunned.

Before, he was only worried, worried that Yingchuan County would not be able to guard, but now that he knew the news brought back by Xun Yan, Liu Bei was not worried, but afraid.

With the assistance of more than a dozen families in Yingchuan County, the entire twelve counties of Yingchuan must have no flaws. Together with Liu Zheng's army, they will soon fall. At that time, they will only rely on these defenders under Liu Bei to defend them. The huge Yingchuan is almost impossible.

"No, no, quickly lead someone to arrest all the twelve families in Yingchuan County!"

What Liu Bei is thinking now is to mend the situation, see if there is still a chance, and arrest these people before Liu Zheng's army arrives, so that they cannot cooperate with Liu Zheng's troops to revolt.

As long as the members of these twelve families are arrested in advance, even if they will be angered, Yingchuan must be preserved.

Xun Yan nodded when he heard Liu Bei's words, and immediately expressed his opinion.

"General, our Xun family has decided that the whole family will support the general! Everything will be arranged by the general!"

After Xun Yan expressed his thoughts, Liu Bei finally squeezed a smile from his worried face.

Fortunately, the Xun family is the largest family in Yingchuan. With the support of the Xun family, at least Yingchuan County has not been completely lost. Liu Bei thought that he only needed to control these family leaders in Yingchuan as soon as possible.

It's a pity that he just got up and planned to arrest those who were there, but he heard an urgent report from the soldiers outside.

"Report, general, urgent report from the front!"

The messengers below hurried over and disturbed Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stopped, and could only call these messengers up first.

"What happened again?"

The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly opened their mouths to answer Liu Bei.

"My lord, there are urgent reports from Yangdi and Yingyang that Liu Zheng's army has killed these two places. As soon as the army arrives, the aristocratic families in the city will open the city gates to welcome Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses into the city. The two cities, There is no obstacle at all."

"Our army stationed in Yingyang County was also forced to withdraw from Yingyang because the city gate was opened. On the way, Gan Ning's army pursued and lost many soldiers and horses."

When the news came back, Liu Bei's already ugly face suddenly became even uglier.

"This... Liu Zheng's army has already started to attack?"

Liu Bei was stunned. He never expected that Liu Zheng's actions would be so fast. How long ago the army had already started to attack.

However, what surprised Liu Bei even more was that the aristocratic families in those counties and counties actually cooperated with Liu Zheng's troops and directly surrendered the city.

At this time, Liu Bei was already a little panicked, and now the people of the major families in Yingchuan County had already surrendered in cooperation with Liu Zheng's army.

Then Liu Bei went to arrest those people again, the chance of success would not be so great.

Jian Yong at the side immediately suggested to Liu Bei.

"Master, the situation is not good, Yingchuan is in danger."

"How to do?"

At this time, Liu Bei already had a serious look on his face, and began to think about his next plan in his heart.

He stayed in Yingchuan. In fact, his bigger idea was to support Guan Yu and wait for Guan Yu's men to come over. But now Guan Yu's men have never returned to Yingchuan to meet him.

But he was about to lose Yingchuan, and Liu Bei was extremely worried.

But the worry is the worry. If he doesn't retreat further, Liu Bei will be trapped to death in Yingchuan by the enemy, and he will be surrounded by the enemy at that time, which will be very bad.

"My lord, for the current plan, we have to withdraw from the Hulao Pass and hold on to the capital."

At this moment, Jian Yong doesn't have a good solution. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Liu Bei's soldiers and horses left in Yingchuan are not many, and the noble families in Yingchuan have already taken refuge in Yingchuan. Liu Zheng.

This is equivalent to the right time, place and people, and nothing is occupied. Staying here and fighting Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses is equivalent to dying.

After all, Liu Bei is a great general, and his status is honorable. As long as Liu Bei is still there, they will have room to wait for news from other battlefields to come, and then find another way.

Jian Yong's opinion made Liu Bei hesitate a bit.

For a while, I didn't know whether to stay in Yingchuan or retreat to Hulao Pass temporarily.

But time waits for no one, Liu Zheng's army that is attacking Yingchuan now will not be too far away from Xuchang.

If you are still hesitating here, I am afraid that Liu Zheng's army will come in.

"General, it's better to retreat. Counties and counties in all parts of Yingchuan have already surrendered to Liu Zheng. They continue to garrison. I'm afraid there is only one Xuchang city left. Leave as soon as possible. My Xun family is willing to cooperate with the general to retreat."

After Xun Yan heard the news, he quickly made a decision. He knew what kind of terror was there for those aristocratic families who gathered here at Guo Jia's mansion that day.

Once they are united, Yingchuan has no chance of winning.

Because of this, Xun Yan wanted to take Liu Bei and others together and set off together to withdraw from Yingchuan.

"Mr. Xun Yan, also decided to retreat? It seems that Yingchuan really can't hold on."

"Let's retreat, let's retreat to Hulao Pass first!"

Liu Bei made this plan.

Get started now.

Taking his remaining ten thousand soldiers and horses, he began to withdraw in the direction of Hulao Pass.

The first thousand and 320 chapters have long been expected

After Liu Zheng's army had fought all the way to Xuchang from the front, Xuchang City was almost empty.

Tai Shici and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses attacked various parts of Yingchuan County respectively, intending to take down the entire Yingchuan in a short time.

At this time, the news that Liu Bei's troops had withdrawn from Xuchang also fell into Liu Zheng's ears after the news spread.

Jin Yiwei's men quickly reported the news to Liu Zheng.
