I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

"Completely solve the barbarian problem?"

Zhang Ren raised his eyebrows, and after a moment, he smiled and nodded to Jiao Yang.

"I like this gift from General Wei very much. Please tell General Wei when you go back. After pacifying the barbarians, Zhang Ren is willing to serve under General Wei. I also ask General Wei not to dislike it and to take me in."

"Hahaha, my general has always been eager for talents. If the general knows that General Zhang is willing to defect to him, he will definitely be very happy."

Yizhou, Xuanhan City!

After Liu Yan's army left Jingzhou in a hurry, they settled in Xuanhan City.

Liu Yan sat at the head of the table, rubbed his forehead vigorously, and asked Yan Yan and Li Yan in the meeting hall with a hint of exhaustion: "Is there any news from Chengdu recently?"

Hearing Liu Yan's words, Li Yan and Yan Yan looked at each other, and finally Li Yan stood up and said: "We got news before that Wei Chu captured the governor's family. At present, the governor's family has been sent away from Yizhou. Went to Liangzhou."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Liu Yan couldn't help but stretched out his hand and patted the table in front of him heavily.

The arrest of his family members was a huge trouble for Liu Yan.

Even if Wei Chu is driven away and his family is redeemed, it will definitely cost a lot.

"Wei Chu has really deceived others too much. When I retake the city of Chengdu, I will cut Wei Chu into pieces! To relieve the hatred in my heart."

After getting angry for a while, Liu Yan continued to ask: "Is Wei Chu's army huddled in Chengdu city now? Also, where are Zhang Ren's troops and horses now? How many barbarian soldiers did Zhang Ren contact me? Shamo Did Ke, Meng Huo, and Zhu Rong personally lead troops to Yizhou?"

After Liu Yan said this, Li Yan and Yan Yan lowered their heads almost at the same time.

When Liu Yan saw this, he frowned and asked angrily: "What are you two doing with your heads down? Tell me the truth."

Li Yan raised his head towards Yan Yan, and Yan Yan made an inviting gesture towards Li Yan.

In the end, Li Yan couldn't refuse, and took a step forward and whispered: "The white horse Yi Cong under Wei Chu are a little arrogant. They even risked their way to Xuanhan City. Because the White Horse Yi Cong are numerous and come and go like the wind, our scouts are not The opponent of Baima Yicong. Now the scouts can hardly leave Xuanhan City, and we have no idea about the situation outside Xuanhan City."

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, Liu Yan grabbed a bundle of bamboo slips and hit Li Yan heavily on the forehead.

"Trash, everything is trash. I, Liu Yan, have both virtue and talent. How could I reuse a bunch of trash and a bunch of rebellious people in the past?"

Li Yan was beaten and quickly lowered his head. At the same time, Li Yan quietly made a gesture towards Yan Yan.

Upon seeing this, Yan Yan immediately took a step forward and whispered: "Please calm down the governor. According to time calculation, General Zhang's troops should arrive at Xuanhan City in a short time."

"General Zhang must invite the barbarians. Shamoko, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong are all smart people, and they will not miss this opportunity. I estimate that the barbarians can gather at least [-] troops."

"Wei Chu occupied Chengdu and knew that our army would launch a counterattack in Chengdu, so Wei Chu must be huddled in Chengdu City now to strengthen the defense of Chengdu City."

Liu Yan's face was still a little ugly when he saw it.

Yan Yan hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and whispered: "The governor has done a lot of good things in Yizhou, and he has won the hearts of the people in Yizhou. I can guarantee that the people in Chengdu will definitely support the governor. As the saying goes, the good will help more and the bad will help less. Please help, when the governor and his troops arrive at the gates of Chengdu, as long as the governor raises his arms and shouts, the people in Chengdu will definitely cooperate with us to drive Wei Chu out of Chengdu."

"If we can capture Wei Chu alive, we can use Wei Chu's life to threaten Cai Yong in Liangzhou and release your family."

Yan Yan's words finally made Liu Yan feel more comfortable.

"You two, plan carefully and think about how to deal with the barbarians invited in after driving Wei Chu away."

"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first."

Watching Liu Yan go away, the expressions of Yan Yan and Li Yan gradually became serious.

"General Yan, what do you think of the current situation?"

Yan Yan reached out and touched the beard on his chin and said: "What else can I say? What I said just now is just to fool Liu Yan. Wei Chu has occupied Chengdu. It will be difficult for us to take back Chengdu. . Maybe, we won’t even be able to reach the gates of Chengdu, and we will be surrounded and suppressed by Wei Chu’s troops.”

"Furthermore, based on what I know about Zhang Ren, I can guarantee that Zhang Ren will never compromise with the barbarians as ordered by Governor Liu. Therefore, we should not count on Zhang Ren's reinforcements."

Li Yan nodded gently.

There is no doubt about Zhang Ren's character.

But he was very hard-boned, and it was too difficult for Zhang Ren to compromise with the Manchus.

"General Yan, what you said makes sense. Now it is almost certain that we have absolutely no hope of winning this time. I would like to ask General Yan, are you planning to follow Liu Yan all the way to the dark side, or are you planning to Find another way out.”

After hearing what Li Yan said, Yan Yan did not react too radically. Instead, she stretched out her hand to touch the beard on her chin and fell into a long silence.

After a while, when Li Yan got a little impatient, Yan Yan whispered: "If I were alone, I would definitely accompany Liu Governor all the way to the dark side. It's a pity that I have a family behind me. I can't let the whole family be buried with Governor Liu."

Li Yan nodded lightly, "I think so too, but this matter is too complicated. I think the two of us should discuss it and try to reach an agreement."

"It's easy to handle."

Yan Yan smiled at Li Yan and said: "Let's wait and see what happens. When we can clearly judge that Liu Yan's failure is a foregone conclusion, we will directly launch a mutiny, capture Liu Yan, and defect to Wei Chu."

"Ah."

Li Yan nodded lightly, remained silent for a moment, and said: "We are doing this not only for the sake of the family, but also for the people of Yizhou. The people of Yizhou are living a hard life and we can no longer admit the disaster of war."

"Yes, yes, we did this for Governor Liu. We tied him up and handed him over to Wei Chu. Wei Chu will most likely not kill him. He is old and should stay with his family. He is not suitable anymore. Continue to work hard for Yizhou."

"Well, so the two of us can only be the villains."

"General Li, the two of us are highly regarded by Governor Liu and deeply loved by the people. It doesn't matter if the two of us are a little wronged."
