Yizhou City Lord’s Mansion:

Liu Yan was in a very bad mood during this period. Wu Yi's 50,000 Yizhou army was completely wiped out by the Xiakou army, causing extremely heavy losses.

The important thing is that the loss of Bajun completely opened the door to Yizhou. With the loss of Hanzhong, Yizhou faced a two-sided attack.

Deep down in Liu Yan's heart, he blasted all the eighteen generations of Yuan Shu's ancestors.

I regret it so much!

Why do you want to join forces with Yuan Shu's two hundred and fifty? It's so cool to have a local state pastor in front of you, but you have to show your ambition.

The situation is serious now.

I had no choice but to call in the civil and military officials and discuss a solution together.

"Everyone, everyone has heard that Wu Yi led an army of 50,000 to attack the four counties of Jingnan. Not only was he unsuccessful, but he was also completely wiped out by the Xiakou army. This completely offended Qin Qi. How should we respond?

.”

Liu Yandao.

"My lord, the main reason for the failure is that the Qin family mixed with the Xiakou army and called it Kaiba County City Gate.

Only then did Xun You's regiment successfully attack the pass. We should arrest the Qin family and punish the Qin family for their serious crimes."

Zhao Wei said.

"My lord, the punishment of the Qin clan's crimes will be temporarily suspended. Now we need to think about how to deal with the attack by the Xun You and Kuai Yue armies."

Zhang Songdao.

Liu Yan learned that Bajun had been lost and Wu Yi's 50,000-man regiment had been wiped out by Xiakou's army. This was the news brought back by Zhang Song.

Originally going to Xiakou as an envoy, Zhang Song encountered Xun You's regiment in Bajun, so Zhang Song thought he should go back and see Liu Yan first.

"Master Zhao, we all tried to persuade my lord to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, but we all opposed it, but you didn't listen and insisted on going your own way. Now there is a problem. What can you do to solve it?"

Huang Quan Road.

Zhao Wei felt depressed!

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Liu Yandao.

"My lord, Mr. Jiang Qian, the envoy from Xiakou, would like to see you?"

Send orders to soldiers.

It came so quickly!

"My lord, Xiakou wiped out my 50,000-strong army. Jiang Gan tricked Zhang Lu into surrendering. Now he comes here again to cause trouble. He captured and beheaded Jiang Gan."

Zhao Wei said.

"That's not right! It is an ancient custom not to kill the envoys when the two countries are at war. Once Chiang Kai-shek is killed, we will completely fall out with Xiakou.

There is no room for maneuver, and we will be laughed at by other princes, saying that we in Yizhou do not understand etiquette."

Wang Lei said.

"Please invite Jiang Qian to come in and listen to what he has to say first."

Liu Yandao.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

After a while, Jiang Gan followed the messenger and walked in. He looked at everyone sitting there and then looked at Liu Yan.

"I've met Mr. Liu!"

Jiang Qiandao.

"Be brave, why don't you kneel down when you see my lord?"

Zhao Wei scolded loudly.

Hahaha!

Jiang Gan laughed loudly and despised Zhao Wei fiercely.

mock up!

I want to show off my power, are you worthy?

"I am the envoy of General Xiakou Qin Qi and the person who conveys the Queen Mother's will. What qualifications do you have to ask me to kneel down? Can you afford it?"

Jiang Gan said arrogantly.

The next moment, Liu Yan stood up and saluted Jiang Gan.

"Mr. Jiang, please don't be offended. My subordinates don't understand the rules. I will train them well in the future. Sir, please take a seat."

Liu Yandao.

No matter how you say it, Jiang Gan can still scare some people when he brings up the title of Queen Mother.

Jiang Gan clasped his fists towards Liu Yan, took out the Queen Mother's decree from his arms, handed it to Liu Yan, and then slowly sat down.

Liu Yan took it in his hand and quickly inspected it.

There was nothing in the decree. It was just to reprimand Liu Yan, saying that he had failed to live up to the expectations of the late emperor. A good member of the royal family would be reduced to colluding with the two rebels Yuan Shu and Tao Qian.

He reprimanded Liu Yan for being self-respecting and not sending troops to challenge Dong. He only thought about his own safety and did not care about the emperor's life or death.

This is to follow the seal but not the tune!

Do we want to sit back and watch the Han Dynasty perish?

Are you still a descendant of Liu?

Don't you feel shameful?

Liu Yan's old face turned red and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Now that chaos has just emerged in the world, this decree still has a certain binding force on Liu Yan, and he does not dare to rebel blatantly.

"Master Liu, the Queen Mother asked me to ask you, are you a descendant of the royal family? The late emperor appointed you as the shepherd of Yizhou.

It’s not that you come to Yizhou to become an independent king and support your own troops. It’s that you develop your strength and have the ability to stop other rebels.

Maintain the imperial power and the emperor's authority. But what? What did you do? I heard Dong Fu say that Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor.

If you believe it is true, instead of going to Jiaozhou, you suggest to the late emperor that you go to Yizhou. For the sake of the same blood, the late emperor suggested that you go to Yizhou.

I also agreed, and I also agreed with your proposal for state pastoral care. You have disappointed the late emperor so much. Local governance is not good.

He also colluded with Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others to act as an aide and wantonly sent troops to attack the four counties in Jingnan. What do you think?"

Jiang Qiandao.

Liu Yan's face turned red.

The story of Dong Fu was also told by Jiang Gan, which greatly surprised the officials present.

It turns out that Liu Yan entered Yizhou with this purpose in mind!

Zhang Song, Wang Lei, Huang Quan, Peng Yi and others all looked at Liu Yan. Liu Yan was extremely angry, but he did not dare to quibble.

"Mr. Liu, you just asked questions on behalf of the Queen Mother, and now you are serving as an envoy to Yizhou on behalf of General Qin in Xiakou.

Let me ask you, Mr. Liu, whether you want to fight to the end or surrender. This decision is for Mr. Liu.

Once the decision is wrong, it will bring death to Mr. Liu and his family."

Jiang Qiandao.

"Master Liu, let me analyze it for you! Yizhou originally had a population of 2.5 million, but now Hanzhong and Bajun have been lost.

The combined population of other places will not exceed 2 million people, and you know this well. Just calculate it as one for every ten people recruited.

That is 200,000 soldiers and horses. This is the most severe conscription, and it is impossible to achieve it under normal circumstances.

With 200,000 troops and horses, Wu Yi's army lost 50,000 people and Bajun 20,000 people. At this time, Master Liu only had about 130,000 people left in his hands.

Moreover, these 130,000 soldiers and horses have to guard various passes. How many more soldiers and horses can Yizhou City have?

As for our Xiakou Army, we have 50,000 mountain troops in Bajun and an integrated archer division of 20,000 people.

Coupled with the cooperation of Gan Ning's navy, the Hanzhong Kuaiyue Corps had more than 20,000 field troops, not counting the local county troops in Hanzhong.

Moreover, if Bajun and Hanzhong are lost, the gate of Yizhou will be completely opened, and our Xiakou Army can send troops from Hanzhong.

We can also send troops from Bajun. Let me ask Master Liu, what can you use to resist? Can you stop our Xiakou army?"

Jiang Qiandao.

It’s not like I didn’t know, but I was shocked after doing the math.

Suddenly, Liu Yan and his officials were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time and stared blankly, waiting for Jiang Gan to continue.
To be continued...
