Chapter 66 Accident
Chengdu has been surrounded by 30,000 troops of Ren Qi and Zhao Wei on three sides. The military strategy surrounds three Que 1. The side left behind is facing Luo County. Ren Qi and Zhao Wei have no good intentions. After all, Liu Yan has many confidants scattered in Yizhou. Once Liu Yan dies in their hands, he will be retaliated by these people. What's more, Liu Yan is still in the late emperor's morale is a figure of the imperial uncle level. At present, he is even more a person of the son-in-law generation today. He used to be in charge of the royal family. Even if the Han Dynasty is now in danger, as long as the world still recognizes the Han Dynasty, it is best not to kill such a person, as it is easy to inflict public anger.
Therefore, they surrounded three quotas and one, leaving Liu Yan's retreat on Ye Zhao's side. Even if Ye Zhao could break Luo County, if he accidentally killed Liu Yan, Ye Zhao would be in danger. At that time, they could call on the people of the world to attack Ye Zhao with justification.
But his idea is good, but the reality is not so perfect. Zhao Wei and Ren Qi surrounded Chengdu for a day and a night, but failed to break through the Chengdu defense. Liu Yan traveled around the country over the years and experienced many wars. He did have a group of capable ministers under his command. Not to mention it, at least in the Chengdu area, Liu Yan was loved by the people. Now that he saw Ren Qi coming to attack, most of the people in the city were willing to support him. Although Liu Yan had only 3,000 troops, these people in the city were mobilized by Liu Yan, but they were no worse than the aristocratic family at all. He helped Liu Yan withstood the attack of Ren Qi and Zhao Wei.
"Why is Liu Yan so difficult? It's okay if the people of Chengdu don't help us, why do they help Liu Yan instead?" After Mingjin withdrew his troops, Ren Qi returned to the military camp in anger and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"Then Liu Yan... After beheading Wang Xian, Li Quan and others, he distributed the land to the people of Chengdu. These poor people were short-sighted and knew the small profits in front of him, but they did not know the general trend. It was so sad!" Zhao Wei was by Liu Yan for a long time, so he naturally knew why this was the case. Liu Yan was unable to take care of the places outside the capital, but in Chengdu, the land left by the wealthy families killed by Liu Yan was almost all distributed to the people of Chengdu by Liu Yan, and naturally he was supported by the people of Chengdu.
"These... unruly people, after the city is broken, I will definitely be the generals to slaughter them!" Ren Qi snorted. If it were not for the help of the people of Chengdu, how could Liu Yan block his 30,000 army with just three thousand soldiers?
None of them is as good as the Xiong Pass, and the defense area is larger, so the troops will naturally be dispersed. If only those 3,000 garrisons and 30,000 troops can be spread out, they can kill the opponent, but now they are in a state of entanglement.
Zhao Wei frowned and shook his head: "Don't be reckless. Even if the city is broken, it should be based on comfort. Ye Zhao is the enemy!"
Zhao Wei was quite sober and was not overwhelmed by anger. After breaking the city, if he took his anger on the people, when Ye Zhao called him, they would be even more passive.
"But this tone is really hard to swallow!" Ren Qi said angrily.
It would be fine if Liu Yan had so many soldiers, but it was a group of civilians who were too lazy to even watch to keep them out of the city. This feeling was really not very wonderful.
"If you do extraordinary things, you should endure extraordinary anger!" Zhao Wei looked at Ren Qi and said in a deep voice: "Ye Zhaoji is arbitrarily catching flaws in his heart. Once we are angry with the public, we will only be taken advantage of by Ye Zhao!"
"Oh~" Ren Qi snorted angrily, but didn't say anything more. As Zhao Wei said, Liu Yan was at the end of his strength. With a group of people, it was impossible for him to withstand the 30,000 troops of force, but what they had to face was Ye Zhao's fierce attack.
Ye Zhao wanted to maintain a firm foothold in Shu. The three kings of the Shu-center plains were a must-fight. Now, except for Luo County, Guanghan was all taken down by Ye Zhao. The next step is that he could take Shu County, he would be considered to have a completely gained foothold in Yizhou. Two-thirds of the wealth in Shu-centered Shu-centered army, and most of the Shu-centered are supported by the food and grass of the three counties in Shu-centered plains. Once Ye Zhao got these three counties, the remaining counties would have to surrender to Ye Zhao if they wanted to continue their journey.
At that time, Liu Yan became the lord of Yizhou because he obtained three counties.
However, the spirits were uneasy and could not help but snorted coldly: "Then wait until Ye Zhao is withdrawn and settle the score with them!"
This time, Zhao Wei didn't say anything else, as if he had acquiesced to Ren Qi's thoughts. After all, although Ren Qi's reputation is not as famous as him, this time the uprising was thanks to Ren Qi. Most of the soldiers in the army were brought by Ren Qi. To put it bluntly, he relied on his reputation. Therefore, he needed to worry about Ren Qi's feelings. It was impossible for him to really drink Ren Qi. If Ren Qi wanted to vent, he really couldn't completely stop him. Moreover, in Zhao Wei's opinion, although Ren Qi seemed a little stingy and narrow-minded, he didn't have to argue with Ren Qi for such a thing.
After discussing the details of tomorrow's siege, the two of them returned to the camp to rest and nourish their energy so that they could break through the city in one fell swoop.
On the other hand, because Liu Yan was busy resisting Ren Qi, Zhao Wei, and Chengdu gates were closed, he naturally could not get news of Zhang Liao coming. After nightfall, Zhang Liao led his army to the outside of the city to stop. In order to avoid the Chengdu defenders discovering that Zhang Liao ordered people not to live. Fortunately, it is summer now. Although it is a bit cold at night, it is covered with grass leaves and clothes so that people will not be frozen.
"General, it has been discovered that it was the prefect of Jianwei and Zhao Wei who were leading the army to attack the city!" The scout who went to inquire for a long time searched for Zhang Liao, came to Zhang Liao, and reported the investigation results to Zhang Liao.
"Zhao Wei?" Zhang Liao narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
Several deputy generals gathered beside Zhang Liao and said, "General, didn't Zhao Wei ask for his order to persuade the prefect of Jianwei to surrender? Now it seems that these people are people from our army, so why not send people to contact us to break through Chengdu and Du together?"
"If you really want to surrender, why don't you try to notify our army to cooperate before siege the city?" Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "This is strange. Don't make a statement. First, break the city first. After breaking the city, remember not to let them enter the city, before the lord arrives..."
Zhang Liao's pair of tiger eyes reflected light under the moonlight, swept over the deputy generals and said, "We have no friendly troops!"
When everyone heard this, they felt a stern. They were not stupid people. They quickly understood what Zhang Liao meant. Zhao Wei and Ren Qi might not be coming to Ye Zhao.
"Then we..." A deputy general looked at Zhang Liao and said.
"Don't move, when the two sides start war tomorrow, we will attack the city with all our might and will break the city in the shortest time!" Zhang Liao said decisively: "Remember, the lord has strict orders, and no one shall attack the people in the city unless necessary. Violators will deal with military laws!"
