The Three Kingdoms

This is Liu Zhang's father, Liu Yan, who left behind Liu Zhang when he separated Yizhou.

At the beginning of the great chaos in Nanyang and Sanfu, tens of thousands of people were exiled to Yizhou, Liu Yan collected them one by one, and all the young and strong soldiers were collected into the army, called Dongzhou soldiers.

Since its establishment, although this army has undergone certain training, it has not experienced any major battles. It is a bit like a field soldier who is only responsible for the fields around Chengdu and has been unknown.

After Liu Zhang established the Kingdom of Shu, he completely forgot about the lack of food and clothing for this army and horses, and left it aside, regardless.

Therefore, when most people in the Shu Kingdom are calculating the military strength in Chengdu, they have already forgotten that there is this army, not only Liu Bei, but also Liu Zhang himself.

However, no one expected that at this crucial moment of success or failure in Chengdu, this army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would suddenly help Liu Zhang and defend the city of Chengdu in one fell swoop.

The situation where the two sides were originally evenly matched was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Dongzhou soldiers.

Liu Bei was caught off guard for a while, and was beaten and retreated steadily.

As the saying goes, one mistake is all over the board.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others have been planning.He wants to use the least influence to change the dynasty in the Shu Kingdom, coerce the king and make him disobedient, and maintain the strongest strength of the Shu Kingdom.

Now because of Dongzhou soldiers.The situation has changed to such an extent that he can no longer do this at all. The sudden appearance of Dongzhou soldiers forced him to retreat step by step, and in the end he could only stick to the east gate of the city.

He was almost kicked out of Chengdu City.

Fortunately, the Thunder Copper Huben Battalion and the Infantry Battalion had sufficient combat effectiveness.Lei Tong was indeed a mighty general, and Chen Dao personally led the elite soldiers from various mansions who surrendered to him. Relying on the topography of the city gate, they barely resisted the Dongzhou soldiers' offensive.

The two sides have formed a stalemate at the East Gate.

If it really came to the point where he was forced to withdraw from Chengdu, Liu Bei would have no choice but to lead his troops to attack the city again.

Chengdu City has high walls and thick walls, and there is sufficient food in the city. If he is forced to leave Chengdu and wants to come in again, he will not have to attack for three to five months.I'm afraid I can't do it.

The most important thing is that Zhang Ren in the west, the soldiers and horses are about to return to help.

Once Zhang Ren leads the army back to aid, he may only be defeated and flee south to gain a foothold in the southern part of Shu.

After all, his main force is in Peicheng, and with Chengdu's soldiers and horses, it is impossible to compare with Zhang Ren.

But this is the worst case scenario.

Now, it is obvious that this step has not yet been reached, because Wei Yan's soldiers and horses have already arrived in Chengdu.

After Wei Yan's troops arrived, the battle began.He also has a great chance of winning, but now he can only raise his own battle flag and fight against Shu with great fanfare.

"My lord, Liang was negligent this time!" Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "Now, if you don't fight, you have to fight, and you can only fight quickly!"

The calculation is very good, but there will always be accidents. He thought he could win Chengdu without any suspense, but now he got a completely different result, which made him feel like crying.

"Wen Chang. We don't have much time. Three days, within three days, we must take down the palace, take down Liu Zhang, and live!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said firmly to the fierce general beside him.

"My lord, don't worry!"

Hearing this, Wei Yan leaned over to take the order, and said decisively: "How can a mere Dongzhou soldier be compared with the elite soldiers who have come out of bloody battles in the land of Hanzhong under his command? One day, someone can break his formation!"

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei was overjoyed at this general, so he pulled out the sword from his waist, handed it to him, and shouted: "This sword is like a certain person who has handed over the soldiers and horses under his command to you. Chen Dao and Lei All Tongmou is in your hands!"

"Children, kill!"

Wei Yan respectfully took Liu Bei's sword, walked down the city gate, got on his horse, held a broadsword in one hand, and Liu Bei's sword in the other. Like a tiger attacking, he led the most powerful cavalry under his command and began to charge towards the Dongzhou soldiers in front. .

"Kong Ming, what should we do in the current situation?" Liu Bei took a deep breath, calmed down, and thought for a while.

"My lord, the victory must be ours!"

Zhuge Liang was also standing in the rain, his body was already soaked, his face was solemn, his eyes were fixed on the battle in the distance, he pondered for a while, and said: "But now, the most important thing for us is time, grasp the time, this battle is getting better and better." If it ends early, we will maintain a little more strength!"

"My lord, Zhang Ren is coming back soon!"

Chen Deng stood on the edge of the city behind, sitting in a wheelchair, and said in a low voice.

"Is there a trace?"

"His vanguard has arrived at Canling, and they can return to Chengdu in two days at the earliest, or three days later!" Chen Deng said.

"Not enough time, Kong Ming, do you have a good plan to stop him?" Liu Bei looked stern, and glanced at his confidant counselor, with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"There is one person, stop him!" Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Who?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up slightly.

"The prefect of Shu County, Zhao Wei!"

Zhuge Liang's deep voice echoed over the city wall.

"Zhao Wei?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, "This man is also the capable soldier Liu Yan left behind for Liu Zhang, how could he help someone?"

"No!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head when he heard this, smiled coldly, and said lightly: "The Zhao family and the Huang family are both rich and powerful families in Yizhou. They surrounded Liu Yan to rule the land of Bashu and worked hard. After the founding of the country, Liu Zhang favored Huang Quan, but continued to suppress Zhao Wei, and the Zhao family was even forced to retreat to Chengdu by the Huang family. He must have been filled with anger!"

"So good!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed immediately, and asked hastily, "Who can persuade him?"

"My lord, Zhao Wei now holds the heavy soldiers of Shu County, and is on the top of the temple in Shu. To show my lord's sincerity, Liang should do it himself!" Zhuge Liang said with a bow.

"Okay, then I'll have to thank Kongming!" Liu Bei thought for a while before nodding.

After all, Zhao Wei is not an ordinary person, and the Zhao family itself is a Bashu family.He himself is not only the prefect of Shu County, but also the elite soldiers of Shu County. In Shu Kingdom, his status and influence are comparable to that of Prime Minister Huang Quan.

"Master, in this battle in Chengdu, I don't doubt that we will win. Although Dongzhou soldiers have miraculous effects, they have not been on the battlefield for a long time and are no match for Wei Yan. But my lord, remember one thing. Liu Zhang must not die. , and the lord can't take the throne rashly!"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"Don't worry, I have been up and down for many years, with this little patience, I will be able to hold on!"

Liu Bei sighed and said.

The current situation in the Shu Kingdom is very clear. He may be able to change the day and take control of the government of the Shu Kingdom, but he must not openly kill the king and succeed to the throne.After all, he can't control the whole situation at all.

Once resistance is aroused, the entire Shu Kingdom will be in chaos, and the covetous Wu Kingdom will not allow him so much time to quell the chaos.
