In Chengdu, the Liu brothers' state and ministerial battle has been fought for more than a month, and the two sides are clearly divided. Liu Xun occupied Chengdu with Shu County as the foundation, and was supported by Zhang Ren, Dong He, Fei Guan, Wang Lei and others. He has more than 20,000 troops. He has succeeded the Yizhou governor in Chengdu.

Liu Wei was not outdone. He took Guanghan County as the foundation and occupied Mianzhu, and obtained the support of military generals such as Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Lei Tong, and Yang Pei. There were 15,000 troops, plus his Thousand Private Army and temporary recruitment of soldiers, and 20,000 people were also ahead.

More importantly, he received the support of Cao Cao, and the court had appointed him as the governor of Yizhou, which gave Liu Wei a legal advantage. He was the governor of Yizhou recognized by the court. Liu Xun was not. It was this point that made Liu Wei's army highly morale and aggressive. He won twice in the confrontation and the army attacked the city of Chengdu.

More than a month of battle caused heavy casualties and injuries on both sides. Everyone fled their homes, and agricultural production suffered severe damage. Even Chengdu, which has developed industry and commerce, was in a depressed state. Every household closed its doors and taverns and shops closed one after another.

The night was shrouding Chengdu. On the top of the city, Liu Xunzheng silently stared at the military camp inside and outside. It was pitch black, and only a silhouette could be seen faintly, as well as the lights.

Liu Xun was extremely worried. His 20,000 troops lost more than half of his two failures, and he only had less than 10,000 troops in his hand. He was no longer sure whether he could defend Chengdu. His only hope now is whether Wu Yi of Hanzhong could return to help in time.

Just half a month ago, he received a news report from Wu Yi. Wu Yi's army was entangled by Zhang Lu in Dingjun Mountain and could not escape. He could only try his best to defeat Zhang Lu and return to Bashu to assist in the battle.

But what Liu Xun couldn't accept even more was that the court actually enthroned Liu Wei's governor, and in this way, he became a traitor, and his stupid and vicious brother inherited his father's business. Thinking of this, Liu Xun couldn't help but sigh.

"Is your husband resenting the court?" Zhang Ren walked to Liu Xun and smiled.

Liu Xun nodded, "Last year, my father clearly reported to the court officials and asked the court to enthrone the title, but the court turned a blind eye to it. He appointed an incompetent person as the governor of Yizhou. How could this be felt?"

"This should have nothing to do with the court, it is Cao Cao's meaning. In fact, Cao Cao may not understand your brother's situation. He believed Huang Quan's one-sided words."

"Huang Quan"

Liu Xun looked at Zhang Ren in surprise, "How could it be related to him?"

Zhang Ren sneered, "In fact, in terms of qualifications and talents, it is not the turn of Huang Quan to take over Yizhou Biejia. At that time, many people suspected that Huang Quan had already surrendered to Cao Cao, and it was always the chess that Cao Cao had planted in Yizhou, so he was named Yizhou Biejia."

Liu Xun nodded and said hatefully: "I understand. In this way, Cao Cao's understanding of Yizhou lies in Huang Quan's report. Huang Quan said Liu Wei was virtuous and kind, and I, Liu Xun, was foolish and incompetent, so Cao Cao believed his one-sided words."

Zhang Ren shook his head, "I think on the contrary, Huang Quan's report to Cao Cao must be that Liu Wei is stupid and stupid, willing to be loyal to Cao Cao, which makes Cao Cao feel that Liu Wei is easy to control. For Cao Cao, Liu Jing has made him feel like a big head, how could he allow another wise ruler to appear in Yizhou? It is reasonable for Cao Cao to admit that Liu Wei."

Having said that, Liu Xun still felt depressed and asked after a while: "Does General Liu Jing take the opportunity to attack Bashu?"

Zhang Ren didn't say anything, and a bitter smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth. How did he answer? He had known that Liu Jing would definitely attack Bashu, and he guessed that Pang Xi had surrendered Liu Jing secretly, otherwise Liu Jing would not let Pang Xi guard Jianping County, but the lord refused to believe it. Moreover, Pang Xi was Liu Xun's father-in-law, which made it difficult for him to answer.

Liu Xun looked back at him, and saw his face full of bitterness, his heart suddenly jumped and said in a low voice: "What is the general meant that Liu Jing has entered Bashu westward?"

Zhang Ren nodded silently, pondered for a while and said, "I suspect that Liu Jing's Jingzhou army has fought with the Yongqi army, otherwise Yongqi's reinforcements should have arrived long ago. Don't you realize it is strange?"

Liu Xun was slightly stunned. Zhang Ren also felt a little strange about this reminder. He knew that Liu Wei had already colluded with Yong Kai, and as soon as he attacked, Yong Kai would send troops immediately. Now that the Yong Kai army has not arrived for a long time, although there are various reasons, it is more likely to encounter the Jingzhou army.

But Yong Kai was not important. The important Jingzhou army entered Bashu, and their brothers were still fighting in the internal struggle here, making wedding dresses for Liu Jing for free.

At this moment, the bell suddenly sounded loudly on the overlooking tower at the top of the city. This was the case. Liu Xun and Zhang Ren were both stunned and turned back to the overlooking tower. Only the soldiers in Tashan shouted: "Please, there is movement in the enemy camp under the city, and an army is coming."

Liu Xun leaned into the military camp in the distance and saw that the military camp was beginning to be in chaos. Several fire dragons were rushing towards the camp, with an army of about ten thousand people. This was clearly a sneak attack formation. The vanguard had rushed into the enemy camp.

Zhang Ren also saw that this was the tactic of stealing the camp. He shouted excitedly, "This must be Wu Yi's army, our reinforcements are here."

The cheers on the city wall suddenly rang out, and Liu Xun was extremely excited, but he was a little worried, "I'm worried that this is Liu Wei's plan to lure troops."

"Don't worry, Liu Wei's stupid person, he can't use such a plan."

After saying that, Zhang Ren bowed and asked for battle, "Please let Bei Zhi lead the army to fight, attack front and back, and you will definitely defeat the enemy."

Liu Xun hesitated for a moment, finally made up his mind and immediately issued an order, ordering Zhang Ren to lead 8,000 troops out of the city to fight.

The city gate opened wide, and Zhang Ren took the lead, waved his big iron spear, and led 8,000 soldiers to rush towards Liu Wei's camp.

...........

The army that suddenly entered Liu Wei's camp from behind was Wu Yi's army that came from Hanzhong. Wu Yi did not retreat completely. He ordered the general Yang Hong to lead his army to confront Zhang Lu in Dingjunshan, while he himself led 10,000 troops back to Bashu to help Liu Xun compete for the throne.

At this time, Wu Yi also learned that the court had appointed Liu Wei as the governor of Yizhou, which made him very angry. He knew this person better than anyone else. He was greedy and stupid, and ruthless. If he was the lord of Yizhou, it would be the misfortune of the people of Yizhou.

At the same time, Wu Yi was also worried that Liu Jing had entered Bashu. If the internal strife between his brothers was not calmed down, Bashu would be completely over.

He led 10,000 people to march day and night, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack Liu Wei's camp.

Liu Wei's camp was already in chaos, many camp tents were lit, fires soared into the sky, thick smoke filled the sky, soldiers were running around in the camp, and troops were attacking left and right in the camp, and the general camp was in a mess. General Gao Pei led more than a thousand people and Wu Yi's army, who was stealing the camp, fought hard. In the dark, it was difficult for both sides to distinguish the enemy and us, and the battle was particularly chaotic.

At this moment, there was a chaos on the other side of the barracks. Zhang Ren led 8,000 troops into the enemy camp. The two armies attacked each other, causing Liu Wei's army to be attacked from both sides. After only a moment of perseverance in the chaos, he completely collapsed.

Liu Wei was wearing a golden helmet and silver armor, and was riding on a horse to command the soldiers to resist the sneak attack of Wu Yi's army. He shouted loudly: "Don't be confused, the army lined up to defend."

The people in the camp shouted and neighed, suppressing his shouts. No one except the rest of them could hear his shouts. Seeing that Wu Yi's army had already entered the camp and set fire to the fire everywhere, Liu Wei was angry and anxious. At this moment, a soldier rushed over.

"The governor of the state, there are also enemy troops in the west that have entered the camp, and it is Zhang Ren's army."

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment. The enemy came from both sides. Can he still resist it. At this time, his personal soldiers shouted anxiously, "Zhou Mu left quickly, it will be too late if he doesn't leave."

Liu Wei turned his horse and ran to the north of the camp. There were enemy soldiers stealing camps on both sides of the east and west. He could only break through to the north, followed by more than a thousand soldiers.

As soon as he rushed to the gate of the North Camp, a fire suddenly appeared at the gate of the camp. An army rushed in. He held a large iron spear for the general, two in eight feet tall, and rode on a majestic black horse, looking majestic. This person was Zhang Ren, known as the number one general of Bashu.

Zhang Rennian was about forty years old and also studied under Yuzhen, Hebei. He was a layman and debuted early, but he also obtained the essence of Yuzhen's martial arts. The ten-style bird phoenix spear made him perfect. He traveled across Bashu for twenty years and had never met an opponent. He was called the King of Xichuan Guns.

Zhang Ren was not only skilled in martial arts, but also quite smart. He knew that Liu Wei would definitely break out to the north in desperation, so he led a thousand troops to wait outside the Beiying Gate. Seeing Liu Wei fleeing, Zhang Ren could no longer hold back his excitement and led his army to meet him.

"Second Duke, surrender, I will spare your life." Zhang Ren pointed his spear and shouted,

Liu Wei didn't expect to meet Zhang Ren, which scared him to fear. At this time, he found that there were not many soldiers on one side of the camp gate, so he turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "My sons, let's kill them together."

The soldiers rushed up shouting and dozens of personal soldiers surrounded Zhang Ren from all over. Liu Wei seized this opportunity and ran towards the few campers, waving his sword and slashing around, "Does go away, those who block me will die."

At this moment, a sneer came from beside him. When he turned around, he saw Zhang Ren appear beside him. Liu Wei was so scared that he scattered his soul and waved his sword to slash at Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren used a spear to separate him, reached out to grab Liu Wei's bundle of armor, pulled him into his arms, and captured Liu Wei alive.

Seeing that Liu Wei was arrested, the soldiers had no intention of fighting again. They knelt down and surrendered. Zhang Ren threw Liu Wei down and shouted: "Tie."

Several soldiers rushed up and tied up Liu Wei. At this time, Zhang Ren led his army into the barracks and surrendered deserters. Liu Wei was tied to a ox cart. The soldiers around him fled in chaos. He was completely disappointed and lowered his head and thought to himself, brothers would not kill him, just be a rich man.”

But as soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his vest and found that the tip of a knife was coming out of his chest. He slowly turned around and saw a black shadow standing beside him, and he faintly saw his hideous smile.
