Chapter 485: Unexpected

Yan Yan couldn't help sighing: "Zhang Ren was dissatisfied with Liu Bei from the beginning, but finally abandoned Liu Bei!"

Chen Lang asked, "Where is Liu Zhang now?"

Yan Yan held his fist and said, "I was placed in the Bishui Villa outside the city."

"Bring him right away."

Yan Yan promised and ran down.

As soon as Yan Yan left, a messenger rushed in and reported: "Open to the lord, the army led by Liu Bei has arrived in Ba County."

Chen Lang smiled and said to Jia Xu: "It's so fast!" Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's just time!"

Chen Lang said to the generals: "Send orders to the troops, rest all night, and march into Ba County tomorrow morning." The generals clasped their fists and agreed, and filed out. The generals walked and chatted, everyone seemed very relaxed.

Soon after, Yan Yan, who was ordered to pick up Liu Zhang, hurried back and reported to Chen Lang angrily for a year: "King Qin, Liu Zhang is dead long ago!"

Chen Lang was taken aback, and then looked at each other with Jia Xu. Jia Xu sneered: "It seems that the benevolent gentleman, Liu Huangshu, is just pretending to let Liu Zhang be in the villa outside the city. In fact, he is worried that his plot to recover will kill him long ago! Although there are many hypocrites in the world, they are like Liu Bei's ji. I'm afraid it's something you can meet but you can't ask for it!"

Yan Yan exclaimed angrily: "I'm really blind! I actually believe that he is really a gentleman of righteousness!"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "What happened today is so that General Yan understands that there is no such thing as a gentleman in this world. Even if there is, it is nothing but a gentleman like Liu Bei! A true hero since ancient times. Great heroes, no one who has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness is on his lips." Yan Yan couldn't help sighing.

Chen Lang raised his right hand and said, "This matter ends here." Then he asked Yan Yan, "Are there any relatives in Liu Zhang's line?"

Yan Yan frowned and said: "Thinking about it now, Liu Zhang's sons seem to be missing." Jia Xu smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's too bad. Since Liu Bei can't accommodate Liu Zhang, how can he tolerate his son." People."

Chen Lang said to Yan Yan: "Then Liu Zhang's funeral will bother General Yan. After all, he was once your lord. If you bury him properly, it is a reward for the monarchs and ministers of the year." Yan Yan bowed gratefully: " Thank you King Qin."

Chen Lang said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, our army will attack Bajun tomorrow. I want to keep General Yanyan leading the officers and soldiers to guard Chengdu. What do you think?"

Yan Yan was flattered, and hurriedly clasped his fists: "The last general has just returned to King Qin, how dare to take this important task suddenly!..."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "Why does General Yan refuse to resign? The lord always employs people without doubt. Since the lord is responsible for the legislators, you should be brave enough to take on it."

Yan Yan was grateful and bowed to Chen Lang very excitedly: "The King Qin has such trust in the general, and the general can only repay King Qin with his heart and soul!"

Chen Lang smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Li Gun: "Immediately send someone to inform Zhang Liao, asking him to leave the necessary guards and horses, and then lead the army straight to Bajun to join me." Li Dagon clasped his fists and promised and ran down.

It is said that Liu Bei led the army on the Shuojiang straight to Ba County. It can be said that he was very anxious, and he could not wait for the ribs to fly back to Chengdu in one breath. However, shortly after they arrived in Berkshire, bad news suddenly came. Zhang Ren, who guarded the Langzhong area, led his army to surrender, and Yan Yan, who was guarding Chengdu, was defeated and surrendered. Chengdu had fallen into Chen Lang's hands.

Liu Bei was frightened and couldn't help being furious, and screamed: "Yan Yan Zhang Ren, you have missed me, you have missed me!!" Liu Bei could not help but smash the two of them to dispel his hatred. The civilian officers and generals who were accompanying them were all panicked and didn't know what to do.

Liu Bei hurriedly looked at Pang Tong and Xu Shu, and said anxiously, "Now that Chengdu is in a state of failure, please give me some advice from your husband!"

Pang Tong couldn't help sighing, and said, "For today's plan, the lord must act decisively!" Liu Bei was stunned and frowned.

It is said that Chen Lang led his army to leave Chengdu, crossed the Tuojiang River, and marched towards Bajun. At the same time, Zhang Liao also led his army through Deyang to drive towards Bajun.

When the army was more than a hundred miles away from Ba County, the front scout suddenly reported that Liu Bei's army, who had arrived in Ba County, suddenly turned around 180 degrees yesterday and moved east along the river. As soon as Jia Xu heard the news, his brows wrinkled slightly, and he immediately clasped his fists at Chen Lang and said, "Lord, Liu Bei definitely intends to abandon Xichuan and seize Nanjun!" Chen Lang also thought of this, and immediately made Li Gun faction. People rushed to Nanjun by land to remind Wei Yan. Li Gun promised and ran down.

Jia Xu said with a face of self-blame: "The subordinates were careless, and they only thought that they would rush back to retake Chengdu, but didn't expect to give up the possibility of capturing the southern county in Sichuan.

Chen Lang said: "Wenhe does not need to blame itself. Our army is able to achieve such great results today thanks to Wenhe's clever plan. Although Nanjun has no defense, Wei Yan is not a waiter. I think Liu Bei has not seen it. Capture the South County. We must march forward at the same time!" Jia Xu nodded.

Qin Jun speeded up the march. The army arrived in Berkshire a day later. At this time, the gates of Berkshire were opened and the city was in chaos. The Qin army immediately invaded Ba County and arrested the bandits and people who took advantage of the chaos to stabilize the situation in Ba County. Immediately, Chen Lang learned that the defenders here had fled from the waterway half a day ago.

Chen Langling's army collected the boat rafts, but found that the local rafts were basically collected by Liu Bei, and only a few small fishing boats were found, which was completely useless. As a last resort, Chen Lang had to lead his army to march east along the steep mountain road along the Yangtze River. Due to the looping of the road, it was extremely difficult and difficult to navigate. Coupled with the harassment by Liu Beijun from time to time, the army marched very slowly. stand up.

On the other hand, the army led by Liu Bei took the waterway and landed near the South County in only one day. Launched a surprise attack on the southern army. Fortunately, Wei Yan was quite cautious. He discovered the sudden appearance of Liu Bei's army in time and closed the city gate in time to hold on to the city. Liu Bei stormed for most of the day and suffered a lot of casualties, but he failed to break through the city defense.

Liu Bei temporarily stopped the offensive and convened all civil and military personnel to discuss countermeasures. However, facing such a strong city and such a brave enemy, Pang Tong and Xu Shu couldn't think of a feasible way for a while. Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and he couldn't help but sighed: "My lifelong wish is to help the big man save the people, but I didn't expect that the sky would not help me!!" Everyone didn't know what to say, and they all sighed. The atmosphere in the big tent is very sluggish.

At this moment, the door went dark, and a person suddenly walked in. Everyone couldn't help but look toward the door, and saw that the eldest son Liu Qi who had not seen Liu Biao for a long time came in. This time Liu Bei intends to seek Jingzhou, and Liu Biao and Liu Qi were originally the master of Jingzhou, and there are still many people in Jingzhou, so Liu Bei took the two of them, father and son, hoping to use them when necessary. However, not long ago, Liu Biao, who had always been in poor health, fell ill. Liu Qi had no time for him to take care of him. He stayed at his father's bed to take care of him. The sudden appearance at this moment was a bit surprising.

Liu Qi stepped forward and said, "Uncle."

Liu Bei asked with concern: "What is the condition of Brother Jing Sheng?"

Liu Qi bowed gratefully: "Thank you for your uncle, my father's spirit has improved a lot."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "So I can rest assured." Then he said apologetically, "Now the military situation is urgent, so I haven't had time to visit Brother Jing Sheng!"

Liu Qi clasped his fist and said, "My nephew came here to help his uncle seize the South County."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "The city of Nanjun is high and the river is wide, and the two gentlemen, Shi Yuan Yuanzhi, are helpless!"

Liu Qi clasped his fist and said: "My uncle didn't know anything. When my father and son were in Jingzhou, they had considered the most dangerous situation, so they ordered someone to dig a secret road early...." As soon as this word came out, everyone in the room was all present. The eyes lit up. Liu Beihuo got up, and hurriedly asked: "Listening to the meaning of Nephew's words, is there a secret road that can go from outside the city to the city?"

Liu Qi nodded and said: "That's it." Liu Bei was pleasantly surprised, but then frowned, and asked with some worry: "I just don't know whether Wei Yan and the others have known such a secret path?"

Liu Qi said, "Probably not. The only people who know this secret path are now my nephew and my father, and the entrances and exits of the secret path are extremely hidden. Wei Yan and the others should not have noticed it yet."

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and said categorically: "Okay! Let's use this secret path!" Then he said to the generals: "You are ready now, and act at any time!" The generals clasped their fists and agreed and withdrew from the big account. Liu Bei said to Liu Qi again: "My nephew, you and I are going to investigate this tunnel. If there is no problem, I will start the action at midnight tonight!" Liu Qi clasped his fist and promised.

Wei Yan was patrolling the city wall, seeing the morale of the next high, and his mood was relatively relaxed. Stopped by the wall, looked at the brightly lit enemy camp outside the city, mockingly said: You Liu Bei call yourself a hero, this time you will be defeated in my hands, so that King Qin Know my Wei Yan's ability!

With a thought of support, he turned his head and said to the generals and officials around him: "Liu Bei is hypocritical and scheming. It is very likely that he will attack the city at night. You can't let your eyes go! This time, King Qin and the others The generals know that our Jingzhou First Division's army is not weaker than them!" The generals shouted and promised, all of them geared up.

Wei Yan patrolled the city wall and confessed, then left the city wall and returned to the residence, looking at the map and thinking. Unknowingly, the night was already deep, and Wei Yan was exhausted, stretched out a big lazy waist, walked to the side of the bed, wrapped in his clothes and lay down. Soon he fell asleep.

General! General! ...

The burst of shouts awakened Wei Yan in his dreamland. I only feel a splitting headache. The subordinate said anxiously: "The general is not good, the enemy has invaded the city!"
