Chapter 306: Chang Yuchun forcibly occupying Yu Fucheng

On March 15, 20th year of Qianyuan, the Jinwu Guard of Deng Kingdom and the Shence Guard of Shen Ce arrived at the gathering city of Wan, and Chang Yuchun had prepared everything and could set off at any time. Just three days ago, the Situ of Shu Kingdom, Wu Qin, was waiting for the arrival of Deng army in Yufu City, and sent several people to urge Deng army.

In Ganyang Palace, Chang Yuchun came here before leaving to say goodbye to Deng Sheng. Deng Sheng said earnestly to Chang Yuchun: "Chang Qing, when you enter Sichuan, you will be responsible for all matters. If there is any dissatisfaction in the war, please send someone back to Wancheng at any time. I will support you with all my strength. Remember your mission. After the matter is completed, I will reward you with no hesitation!"

Chang Yuchun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Shu must be the land of my Great Deng!" Chang Yuchun, an opponent on this trip, has a clear understanding of the situation. As long as he defeats the Qin army, Shu will be at his fingertips.

Deng Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, then go, I am waiting for Chang Qing to return in Wancheng!"

After saying goodbye to Deng Sheng, Chang Yuchun led the Jinwu Guard and the Shence Guard to set off. They first went south to Jiangling and then advanced west along the Yangtze River. However, the situation in Shu Kingdom is now critical. If you take land, the Qin army might have broken Chengdu before Deng's army entered Bashu. Therefore, Chang Yuchun wrote to Deng Sheng and asked the Navy of Nujiao Guard to use warships to transport soldiers into Shu in batches.

On March 18, the 20th year of Qianyuan, Chang Yuchun led 30,000 troops to Yufucheng, the eastern gateway of Shu Kingdom. Wu Qin personally went out of the city to welcome Chang Yuchun's arrival.

"General Chang, you are finally here!" Wu Qin was so happy when he saw Chang Yuchun. During this period, the Qin army's offensive became more and more fierce, and Fucheng could hardly bear it. Fortunately, the reinforcements from Yufucheng arrived in time and withstand the Qin army's offensive. However, in this way, all the troops of Shu Kingdom were concentrated in Fucheng. Once Fucheng was forced, Shu Kingdom would no longer have the power to resist.

"Wu Situ has been waiting for a long time. I don't know where the Qin army is now?" Chang Yuchun did not talk nonsense to Wu Qin, and asked him about the situation of the Qin army.

Wu Qin was stunned by Chang Yuchun's. According to common sense, shouldn't the two of them first greet each other and make some polite questions? A warrior is a warrior and has no rules at all. However, Wu Qin did not express his dissatisfaction. After all, Chang Yuchun is now a life-saving straw for Shu.

"General Chang, the Qin army should attack Fucheng for half a month now. The troops and horses of Chengdu, Jianwei and Yufucheng in our country have all gathered in Fucheng. However, the Qin army is strong and even if it has the advantage of the city, it is still not an opponent of the Qin army. At present, it can only barely defend."

After hearing Wu Qin's words, Chang Yuchun scoffed at the combat effectiveness of the Shu army. From the data obtained, he knew that there were 80,000 soldiers and horses in Shu Kingdom. Later, after Meng Chengting rebelled, Shu Kingdom still had 60,000 soldiers and horses. The total number of soldiers and horses under the Qin army and Meng Chengting was 120,000. The gap between Qin and Shu was twice as big as the battlefield. It would be normal for the Shu army to not be able to stop this gap. However, now the Shu army has the advantage of a city and cannot hold on so quickly. The combat power of the Shu army can be imagined. Without the dangers of mountains and rivers, the Shu army is a waste.

Looking at Chang Yuchun's joking expression, Wu Qin felt very embarrassed, but there was no way. The comfortable life over the years has generally made the combat power of the Shu army relatively low. On the front battlefield, the Shu army may not be able to survive, let alone the Qin army, and the Southern Army may not be able to handle it.

Seeing Wu Qin so embarrassed, Chang Yuchun smiled and said, "Wu Situ, the war is tight now, so we should not delay here. In order to arrive in Shu as soon as possible, our army is transported by warships this time, so it will come in batches. Therefore, we will leave a group of troops to drag Yufucheng to meet the arrival of other people, and we will lead a large army to rush to Fucheng to support it."

"This..." Wu Qin was a little at a loss. Chang Yuchun said it was very reasonable. The other person's troops were still on the road, and it was appropriate to leave a team of people to support him. However, now the main force of the Shu army is in Fucheng, and there are less than a thousand soldiers in Yufucheng. Once Deng's army enters Yufucheng, will Yufucheng still belong to Shu?

Given that if Deng Jun was allowed to enter Yufucheng, Yufucheng would probably not be able to come back, Wu Qin subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, at this time, Chang Yuchun gave him a fierce look, and there was a big deal if Wu Qin did not agree, he would either break the city directly or lead troops back. No matter which result, Wu Qin would not bear it.

So Wu Qin was timid, smiled, and said, "Of course this is not a problem!" After seeing Wu Qin agreeing, Chang Yuchun was also very happy. After taking Yufucheng, he took down the gateway to Sichuan. Once there was a bad situation in the future, Deng's reinforcements could also be continuously driven into Sichuan.

Chang Yuchun felt that he was opening his head well. Although he was far from turning against Shu Kingdom, he immediately took Yufucheng, the gateway city in the east of Shu Kingdom, which was a good start. Wu Qin's reaction also made Chang Yuchun feel fearless. Under the intimidation of the Qin army, as long as he was not too excessive, Shu Kingdom would agree to the general conditions, and then he could erode step by step, weaken the strength of Shu Kingdom, and finally give a fatal blow.

After getting Wu Qin's consent, Chang Yuchun did not talk nonsense and directly let the army enter Yufu City. Although Wu Qin wanted to stop it, he was so powerless. As soon as Chang Yuchun entered the city, he sent someone to take over the city defense of Yufu City. This made Wu Qin a little unhappy. Chang Yuchun protested for a while, but Chang Yuchun ignored him. Chang Yuchun's attitude made Wu Qin feel an ominous premonition in his heart, that is, Deng's army came this time not only to rescue Shu, but probably to grab territory. But now Deng's army has entered Yufu City. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, Wu Qin can only accept the facts silently.

This time, Chang Yuchun brought three generals, one was Hu Yanzhuo from Jinwu Guard, one was Guan Yu from Shence Guard, and the other was Li Jing from Shence Guard. Some of the others were on the way, and some were still waiting in Jiangling.

After entering Yufucheng, Chang Yuchun called Hu Yanzhuo and said to him: "General Hu Yan, you will leave you with 5,000 troops. What you have to do is to not only help the subsequent arrival of troops, but also to control Yufucheng. Now the main force of the Shu army is in Fucheng, and there are less than a thousand troops in Yufucheng. It is not a big problem to control Yufucheng, so you are sure."

"Don't worry, General, the last general will completely control Yufucheng and make it my city of Da Deng!" Hu Yanzhuo replied without thinking. In Hu Yanzhuo's opinion, this task cannot be simpler. If this cannot be done well, then he might as well die.

After Hu Yanzhuo led 5,000 troops to station in Yufucheng, Chang Yuchun led 25,000 troops to continue to move westward. However, on the way westward, Chang Yuchun seemed to be anxious at all. Although the speed of the marching was normal, it was too normal, not like the kind of rushing to put out a fire, which made Wu Qin very anxious. Chang Yuchun's reason was that the Qin army was strong and he could not consume his energy on the road. Chang Yuchun also expressed that he had confidence in the Shu army and believed that the Shu army could persevere until his arrival.

As soon as this was said, Wu Qin was speechless. Could it be that he said that the Shu army was a waste and that it was very likely that Chang Yuchun would not be able to support Chang Yuchun's arrival? Obviously, this cannot be said. In this case, Wu Qin could only beg Chang Yuchun to speed up the speed appropriately. Of course, Chang Yuchun agreed to Wu Qin's request, but he still did his own way.

In fact, Chang Yuchun did this in order to be able to enter the country to consume the strength of the Shu army as much as possible, so that he could seize Shu land in the future to reduce resistance. Yes, in Chang Yuchun's heart, defeating the Qin army is certain, and seizing Shu land is the big head. It does not mean that the Qin army is not strong, but the entire Deng State, from Deng King Deng Sheng to the small soldiers, said that as long as the Qin cavalry did not appear, the Qin army could never be an opponent of the Deng army.

As for whether Chang Yuchun was worried about whether Fucheng could last for his arrival, Chang Yuchun said that he was not a fool. In fact, every day there were sending troops from the Shu army to urge Deng's army, so Chang Yuchun was able to control the situation well.
