Chapter 221: Rumors spread, Fazheng assists
Wu Shun successfully surrendered Li Yan and held a banquet that night to show his welcome to Li Yan. At the banquet, Li Yan was somewhat restrained. However, under Wei Yan, Shamoke and others taking turns to "attack", they quickly let go of their uneasiness.
As the saying goes, just smile to eliminate grudges. The unhappiness in the past was all in wine. After drinking it all, everyone was brother.
This is how Wu Shun told Li Yan, which moved Li Yan very much. He didn't expect that Wu Shun wouldn't really pursue the matter of ambushing Wuling Army.
The gap between people is really big. Li Yan was thinking, if Liu Zhang were the same as Wu Shun, what would Xichuan look like now?
Unfortunately, I can only imagine now. He has become a member of the Wuling Army. To put it bluntly, he was the first person to turn against his qualities.
When Li Yan sighed, Yan Yan was frowning in Zitong. There was no food in the city, and the food road was cut off by the Wuling Army and there was no supply. If the soldiers wanted to eat, they had to find a way from the people.
This is what Yan Yan is most reluctant to do. As a general of Xichuan, he is already in vain for not being able to protect the country and the people are safe, and now he has to collect food from the people. Yan Yan is very confused at this moment! On the one hand, not only does the soldiers have no food to eat and have no combat power, but it is easy to cause chaos. On the other hand, now in chaos, the people have no food to take.
When he returned to Jianmen Pass, the Wuling Army immediately replenished and trained troops. There were many soldiers captured from the Sichuan Army, and Wu Shun specially selected a group of strong ones to supplement the Wuling Army. In this way, the Wuling Army's combat effectiveness could be recovered soon.
The soldiers of the Yuanchuan Army have all gone to the battlefield, and they just need to get some work together and become familiar with the cooperation of the battle formations in the Wuling Army.
The army's combat effectiveness did not have much impact, and Wu Shun's mind became active. Now Yan Yan basically has no ability to break through. In the absence of food, it would be great if he could stick to the situation and wait for assistance.
Therefore, Wu Shun was not in a hurry to attack Zitong Pass again. Instead, he issued an order to the Black Guards to spread rumors in Xichuan!
Fa Zheng, who was in Chengdu, received news from the Black Guard and rushed to Zhang Song's mansion. Wu Shun might need them to take action, so Fa Zheng had to discuss with Zhang Song.
"Hyuki, why is it so in a hurry?"
Seeing Fa Zheng's hurry, Zhang Song asked quickly. Fa Zheng is not those who are irritable.
"Have Ziqiao ever received information from the Black Guard?"
"I received it. I didn't expect that many generals from Xichuan gathered in Zitong and gathered more than 50,000 soldiers, but they are still no match for the Wuling Army."
Zhang Song shook his head and said. He said with a sad look, but he was not displeased on his face. Now he is also a member of the Wuling Army. Wu Shun won a great victory in Zitong, so he was naturally happy.
"Now is the time for us to do our work. I heard from the Black Guard that the one who defeated Yan Yan this time was a new military advisor from the Wuling Army. He is known as Mr. Wolong!"
"It is indeed worthy of being the name of the lie-down dragon! A long snake formation has evolved into two sets of formations that cooperate with each other. The depth of research on formations is amazing."
Zhuge Liang's achievements made Zhang Song feel threatened. They had been secretly agreeing to Wu Shun for a long time and had not made any major contributions yet.
Both of them are full of wisdom and tricks. Fa Zheng felt that Zhuge Liang had a good knowledge of the formation and wanted to see it. Unfortunately, he could not leave for the time being, but according to the news conveyed by the Black Guard, Wu Shun needed them to build momentum in Xichuan!
In a few days, almost everyone in Xichuan knew that Yan Yan defeated the Wuling Army in Zitong, but he also suffered heavy losses. Now that the reinforcements of the Wuling Army arrived, Yan Yan had no choice but to retreat to Zitong. Now Zitong is short of food and urgently needs troops and food supplies!
This news soon came to Liu Zhang's ears after being guided by someone who is interested. Surprisingly, Liu Zhang did not choose to send troops to support him immediately.
Logically speaking, when the front line wins a battle and needs supplies, the rear will definitely increase supply. But when Liu Zhang heard that the connection between Zi Tong and Xichuan had been cut off, he hesitated!
To support Yan Yan, you have to break through the Wuling Army's interception first! Even a powerful general like Yan Yan can't escape. Who can still rescue him in Xichuan?
If the roads are blocked, how can soldiers and soldiers be sent to Zitong?
When Liu Zhang was extremely confused, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng jointly sought a meeting.
"Zi Qiao, Xiaozhi, what should I do when the current situation is going on?"
When Liu Zhang saw the two of them coming, he seemed to have caught something and felt less panicked. He felt that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng must have a way to deal with it.
"Don't worry, lord, General Yan Yan is majestic, and sticking to Zitong is not a problem. The problem now is how many soldiers we have to send to support."
"The scout who went to inquire reported that the road to Zitong had been intercepted by the Wuling Army. This is clearly an attempt to wipe out our 50,000 Sichuan Army!"
Rumors spread everywhere in Xichuan, and Liu Zhang had sent a scout. The news he received was similar to what Xichuan is currently hotly discussed.
"Lord, Zi Tong's soldiers must be rescued. Now the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo has been repelled, and some troops can be drawn to go north to support him."
The black-clad guards had already told Fa Zheng what Wu Shun meant. The reason why he wanted to surround Yan Yan was to use this to eliminate more soldiers from the Sichuan Army and reduce resistance for the Wuling Army to enter Sichuan!
There is another advantage in doing this, that is, the Southern Barbarians will not play a big role in this war. When the entire Yizhou is taken over, Wu Shun can give less rewards!
After knowing Wu Shun's plan to surround the site and attack aid, Fa Zheng and Zhang Song naturally actively encouraged Liu Zhang to send troops north. It would be best to send all the troops north. At that time, the troops in Shu were empty, and when the Wuling army came in, it would be much easier to capture the city and plunder the land.
"Send troops to support? There is no general available in Xichuan now, what can I do!"
Liu Zhang himself wanted to send troops to support him, but all the capable generals in Xichuan were sent out. Now that he could send reinforcements, no one would lead him. If he could not break through the interception of the Wuling Army, Yan Yan could only trap Zitong. Sooner or later, he would be defeated.
"I am willing to lead my troops to go! I will definitely break through the enemy's interception and support Zitong Pass!"
The responsibility of a strategist is to worry about what the lord is anxious about. Seeing that Liu Zhang was struggling with the candidate for the general, Fa Zheng took the job with a righteous look.
"When Xiaozhi goes there, I will be free of worries."
Fa Zheng was so powerful that Liu Zhang was very moved. At the critical moment, he still had to rely on his own counselors!
"Xiaozhi led 30,000 troops to Zitong for support this time. Be sure to rescue Yan Yan and other soldiers! As for Zitong, just abandon it!"
Another 30,000 people were dispatched to Fa Zheng, and the defensive forces in various parts of Shu were already very weak. It can be said that Liu Zhang was suppressing his hope on Fa Zheng. If a group of Sichuan generals could be rescued, with their tenacity, they could still be entangled with the Wuling Army!
"Please rest assured, lord, I will definitely save General Yan Yan and others!"
Fa Zheng made a promise with confidence. In fact, he had already planned it in his heart. At that time, he would have a play with the Wuling military exercise and arrest all the generals of the Sichuan Army. At that time, Liu Zhang would lead a group of aristocratic families to fight against the Wuling Army.
That scene, you needless to say, you will know the result!
From the moment Fa Zheng took over the tiger talisman, Liu Zhang's rule in Xichuan has entered the countdown!
