Chapter 85 Bloody Battle (Part 1)

Liu Chan and the generals in Shu ran desperately, and the Shu soldiers following behind him ran less and less. The continuous setbacks made people feel disappointed, and many soldiers took the opportunity to escape from the team. The generals protected Liu Chan, but they didn't care about the fleeing generals. It was important to escort Liu Chan to a safe place.

When he arrived at Mianzhu Pass, the generals of Mianzhu Pass quickly welcomed His Majesty and the ministers and generals into the pass. After a while, he took a break and took a breath, he saw that there were less than 3,000 people who entered the pass, and the rest were missing. Seeing that everyone was depressed, Liu Chan thought about it and wanted to comfort everyone. He turned his words twice in his stomach, but his face turned red and he didn't say it. The battle was so cowardly, and it was "completely exploded" in words from later generations! The 50,000 Shu troops were forced to be exploded one day and one night by less than 20,000 people.

At this time, there were people coming from the gate. The guards watched carefully, but Wen Yang was Wen Yang. After repelling Deng Ai's pursuit, Wen Yang retreated with more than 300 remaining people. Seeing Wen Yang's bloodstains, Liu Chan was very excited and grabbed Wen Yang's hand and said to everyone: "Today's escape is the result of Wen Ciqian!"

The generals discussed that Mianzhu Pass is a natural barrier that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The existing soldiers in Guanzhong totaled less than 4,000. If Deng Ai's army came, it would be a bloody battle. It would be better to move to Chengdu, mobilize reinforcements and fight with Deng Ai. Everyone was determined and there was no strategy to defeat the enemy for a while. They just thought that Mianzhu's troops were too small to protect Liu Chan, so they all agreed to return to Chengdu.

Three thousand people were left to guard the pass, and Liu Chan took the generals and ministers to retreat to Chengdu. The group was attacked at night. Before they had time to have breakfast, they were attacked by Deng Ai. They were not allowed to be caught in Mianzhu and rushed to Chengdu to escape without stopping. Now that they are out of danger, they are not so nervous, and everyone's stomachs scream at the same time.

Hearing an unusual sound, Liu Chan stopped to look around everyone. His stomach was loud and he quickly pulled back his hand on his lower abdomen, pretending to be innocent. Some people felt that his stomach was about to cause trouble, so they were so scared that they dared not move, so they secretly prayed not to be heard by His Majesty. The series of sounds of the bones were clearly heard by everyone, and everyone looked like earth. Who was so blind? Liu Chan looked at everyone and said embarrassedly: "It's my... Go back to Chengdu!" Many people couldn't help laughing, but Liu Chan thought he didn't hear it. After this stirring, the originally lifeless atmosphere suddenly became a little relaxed.

After walking dozens of miles, he happened to meet Xi Zheng, who was responsible for transporting food and grass. The king and his ministers were all stunned when they met. If it weren't for what they saw in front of them, Xi Zheng would never believe that the Shu army, which had just been on the expedition for a few days, was beaten into this kind of virtue. When Xi Zheng heard that there were only three thousand remaining troops in Mianzhu Pass, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet.

"Mianzhu Pass is the last barrier in Chengdu. Your Majesty should send a capable general to defend it. The Wei people were unable to advance, and it was difficult to get trapped in the river. Just one general of Wei will return to the rescue and the Chengdu soldiers will attack it to defeat the enemy. If Deng Ai robbed Mianzhu, he would regret it!" Xi Zheng said this with a series of cannons.

After hearing this, the monarchs and ministers of Shu Han suddenly realized that this principle was not unknown to everyone. They were just forced by the Wei army and forgot it for a while.

"Who is guarding Mianzhu for me?" Liu Chan asked hurriedly.

"I am willing to go there at the end!" Guan Yi and Zhang Zun rush to say.

Since Wen Yang entered Shu, he has been with Guan and Zhang. The three of them are both famous for their military power and are rated as powerful generals by everyone. This time they went into battle and were defeated, and they were able to escape by relying on Wen Yang's fight to the death. The two brothers Guan Yi and Zhang Zun were very uneasy, so they both rushed to defend Mianzhu Pass.

Liu Chan calmed down and thought, "Although the two are brave, remember not to fight. When I mobilize the army to return, I will fight to the death with the people of Wei!"

Seeing Guan Yi and Zhang Zun running away with the two soldiers who were carrying grain, Liu Chan remembered that these two men had not used food yet. Mianzhu Pass was already the last barrier in Chengdu. Liu Chan, who woke up, was worried that the two generals of Guan and Zhang, ordered the Yulin Supervisor Li Qiu to take more than ten cavalry to Mianzhu to prevent any accidents.

In Changle Palace, Queen Zhang lay down to rest early, and the old eunuch Zhang Chun was serving outside. Gao Guiren came from a distance with a few palace maids and a little eunuch. Zhang Chun came forward to ask about his purpose. It turned out that Gao Guiren specially made a bowl of lotus seed soup and brought it to Queen Zhang.

Queen Zhang had no idea about the closeness of noble people. It would be great to be harmonious in the harem, which would also help His Majesty's rest. However, Zhang Chun always looked at noble people with a vigilant attitude, and he was obedient to others. The master did not have any ideological precautions in this regard, and he should be more cautious when dealing with his subordinates.

When he learned that Empress Zhang had already gone to bed and rested, Gao Guiren seemed very disappointed. For some reason, Zhang Chun felt that this noble man was vaguely different from the past, and seemed to be excited about Empress Zhang's rest. Zhang Chun couldn't help but take a step back, but Gao Guiren happened to take a step further: "In this way, this lotus seed soup will be filial to Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang is strong enough to serve his sister."

Zhang Chundui smiled and refused, but his eyes were staring at Gao Guiren and trying to find out what was unusual. Several small eunuchs behind Gao Guiren ran over at this time, as if they were going to take over the lotus seed soup from Gao Guiren's hand. Zhang Chun's mind suddenly flashed, and a sharp scream sounded: "You are not eunuchs!"

With a thud, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and the lotus seed soup sprinkled all over the ground and slowly flowed. Gradually, it mixed with the blood. In the direction of the flow, you could see Zhang Chun's unwilling eyes, dying with his eyes open.

Silent murderous intent spread in the palace, and spread in every corner for no reason. This was the chance for the rebels to have the favorite. More than half of the guards in the palace were drawn out. The energy in the city was concentrated on the military on the front line, and no one knew that there was another force lurking in Chengdu.

The several killers who pretended to be eunuchs were all good, and they quietly killed a few palace maids. They pushed open the gate of Changle Palace, and the noble man plucked up the courage to follow behind, with some expectations in his heart.

There were not many people serving Queen Zhang in the huge Changle Palace, but they were all Queen Zhang’s confidant maids. Unfortunately, when these maids found that someone broke in, they died. Queen Zhang in the bedroom was throwing her asleep and could not notice the danger of getting closer.

King Anding Liu Yao was resting in his palace. He had just sent Sima Shengzhi away and felt very tired. He really couldn't figure out how his father dealt with these subordinates, but he felt extremely sleepy when he was busy just now. After yawning, Liu Yao lay on the bed and remembered her beautiful wife and concubine at home, but unfortunately she couldn't take her to the palace...

Just as someone suddenly knocked on the door outside, Liu Yao suddenly stood up and looked outside and muttered, "I don't know which minister is... it's hard to be an emperor..." Even though she muttered, she quickly sorted out her appearance and ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, only the fragrance could be smelled. But when a palace maid seemed to be gorgeous, suspected to be a beautiful fairy, her charming face reflected her two bright eyes. King Anding Liu Yao had never seen such a beautiful woman before, but she was stunned and felt dizzy at the corners of her mouth.

"You...you..." Liu Yao's mind was in chaos and she couldn't say anything.

The palace maid fell into Liu Yao's arms, as if a hot ball made Liu Yao feel uncontrollable. Unexpectedly, there was such a beautiful woman in the deep palace, and the father did not even notice it. It seemed that she was lucky. Liu Yao was so happy that she was about to step closer, but suddenly felt a chill in her throat. The palace maid pushed her away and looked at her coldly.

Sima Shengzhi bid farewell to King Anding Liu Yao and prepared to leave the palace and return to the palace. There were fewer guards in the palace than before. Although many of them were transferred away, they should not be so deserted. When they walked to the palace gate, Sima Shengzhi was uneasy and turned around and returned to the palace.

Just as Shi Ji surrounded Xiangyang, Ding Feng's men also crossed the Yangtze River and headed towards Shouchun. The 100,000 Wu troops were mighty and powerful. Ding Feng was the commander of the three armies. Whether it was qualifications or fame, Ding Feng was the best choice. The only thing that could be picked was that Ding Feng came from a poor family, but it was precisely because of this that the generals and soldiers in the army were particularly close.

Shouchun City has been rested and recuperated. Wang Ji recruited more than 50,000 soldiers from all over the place, leaving behind a side general to defend the city. Wang Ji brought a group of confidant generals and 40,000 troops to meet the Wu army. The morale of the Eastern Wu was strong, and Ding Feng was also a famous general who was good at fighting, so he should not be underestimated. The troops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou were dismissed everywhere, and there were not many reinforcements. If they were to sit in Shouchun and wait for reinforcements, they would probably repeat the story of Zhuge Dan. Therefore, Wang Ji decided to take the initiative to attack, first defeat the enemy's spirit and then return to the city to defend the death.

One hundred thousand men seemed to be extra on the Wei army, but the target of the battle was only the vanguard of the Eastern Wu. How could the entire army suddenly arrive at a 100,000 marchs? In fact, the Wu army was only 30,000 to 50,000 people. The Wei army occupied the land, and the Wu people occupied the harmony, and the victory or defeat was unpredictable.

It could have mobilized Yuzhou's troops to reinforce, but near Jiangxia, the army of the Eastern Wu general Lu Kang appeared. This made Yuzhou's troops dare not leave the territory easily and were always ready to support Jiangxia. If Wang Ji knew that Lu Kang's fleet also appeared in the waters near Xiangyang, I wonder if he would regret it...

Zhu Yi, the vanguard general of the Eastern Wu, also sighed a lot. The situation changed continuously over the year, making it difficult to adapt. This time the army's expedition seemed to respond to Western Shu, but in fact it was also a great opportunity for Eastern Wu to expand its territory. If you can decide on the two Huai Rivers in one fell swoop, you must apply to stay behind to avoid having any idle war every day.

After Wang Ji's army stationed in the southeast of Shouchun for a day, the Eastern Wu troops seemed to have not arrived yet. This made Wang Ji feel a little wrong. Why didn't Jiangdong attack? It was reported at night that the army of Jiangdong's vanguard general Zhu Yi's army was moving slowly, and it was estimated that it would not arrive at noon the next day. Wang Ji nodded and discussed with the generals: "The eastern defense line depends on our defense. The Wu army will immediately launch an attack when it arrives tomorrow!"

"Abide by the order!" Wang Chong and other generals all held their fists and took the order.
