Chapter 467 Yan Yan
In another time and space, everyone realized that they had always thought that with the small light screen, the distance between them seemed to be very close.
But in reality, they may be separated by thousands of years.
Thinking about this, I feel a little regretful.
Lin Ke then continued, "So, given this situation, Liu Zhang, the governor of Yi Province, executed Zhang Song, and because of this, the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang was severed."
At this time, Pang Tong specifically offered Liu Bei three secret plans regarding strategic issues:
"The first thing to do is to select elite troops and then launch a surprise attack on Chengdu day and night. This way, we can achieve this in one fell swoop. This is the best plan."
"Secondly, Yang Huai and Gao Pei are both famous generals in Shu, and they have elite troops under their command, the kind that are guarding the passes. So we can't confront them head-on, but we can pretend to be going back to Jingzhou to lure them to come with light cavalry. In this way, we can capture and kill them, and then advance on Chengdu. This is a good plan."
"The last option is for us to retreat to Baidi, then connect with Jingzhou, and slowly advance into Yizhou. This is the worst possible plan. If we hesitate, we will surely face great disaster. We cannot stay here any longer."
Of these three points, Liu Bei believed that falling into the trap was reasonable and intended to follow it.
"Pang Tong is quite capable, so this plan was carried out smoothly."
"So they killed Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and soon marched their troops straight toward Chengdu. They were unstoppable and conquered every place they passed through without encountering any obstacles. So they quickly reached Fucheng."
Upon hearing this, everyone assumed the two sides had broken ties! They never expected a fight to break out like this!!
"In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Zheng Du, an official in Yizhou, heard the news of Liu Bei's uprising and realized that things were serious. He immediately said to Liu Zhang:"
Liu Bei's army was deep in enemy territory, having traveled a long distance. He had fewer than 10,000 soldiers, and some of them were not fully loyal to him. In addition, his army lacked food and supplies. If he didn't solve this problem, how could he continue fighting like this?
"So this means he can only rely on plundering crops from the fields for food. Our best solution is to cut off his food supply and drive all the people in Brazil and Zitong to the west of the Nei River and the Fu River."
Then, they burned all the grain and supplies in the warehouses of Brazil and Zitong, as well as all the crops in the fields.
Finally, we'll build high walls and deep trenches, and hold our ground. If Liu Bei leads his army to challenge us, and we don't come out, we'll have no food or crops. Therefore, we'll inevitably have to retreat on our own within a hundred days.
"When that time comes, we can launch another attack and definitely capture Liu Bei alive. This strategy is quite feasible. However, Liu Zhang is a man who will listen to Zhang Song, who is deceiving him, but he won't listen to this plan!!!"
"So when Liu Bei heard the news, he was very anxious, but Fa Zheng knew his former leader well, so he told Liu Bei:
Liu Zhang will ultimately not adopt Zheng Du's strategy, so you can rest assured.
Indeed, this was the case. Liu Zhang said to his subordinates, "I have heard of resisting the enemy to protect the people; I have never heard of relocating people to escape the enemy."
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty: Oh no, I missed the correct answer!
Li Erfeng of the Tang Dynasty: Indeed, it seems his subordinates should know him well!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: "No wonder, they've never beaten Liu Bei, so why don't they listen to his advice!"
……
Meanwhile, Lin Ke couldn't help but sigh, "The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, though not as mystical as the saying goes, their strategies are still incredibly impressive!"
In another timeline of the Ming Dynasty, because Lin Ke was telling the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the novel written by Luo Guanzhong suddenly became a hot topic!
……
"Liu Zhang then dispatched his generals Liu Gui, Ling Bao, Zhang Ren, Deng Xian, and Wu Yi to resist Liu Bei's army. However, Liu Bei's forces were no longer the same as before, who had been driven to wander aimlessly by Cao Cao. They were all defeated without exception, and Liu Zhang's army retreated to Mianzhu."
Seeing this, Wu Yi knew he had little chance of winning, so he surrendered to Liu Bei's army.
Not long after, Liu Zhang sent Li Yan, a native of Nanyang, and Fei Guan, a native of Jiangxia, to command the various troops stationed in Mianzhu. However, Li Yan and Fei Guan also led their subordinates to surrender to Liu Bei.
"On the other hand, Liu Bei's army was becoming more powerful, and he sent his generals to occupy the surrounding counties."
"In fact, the decline had already become apparent at this point, and it was very difficult for the unwilling Liu Zhang to resist."
"Therefore, Liu Gui, Zhang Ren, and Liu Zhang's son Liu Xun retreated to Luocheng, but Liu Bei then advanced and surrounded Luocheng. As a result, Zhang Ren led his army out of the city and fought a great battle with Liu Bei's army at Yanqiao. In the end, Zhang Ren's army was defeated and Zhang Ren was killed in battle."
"In the tenth year of Jian'an (214 AD), Zhuge Liang left Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou, and together with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, led troops up the Yangtze River to continue attacking Badong, and then defeated and captured Yan Yan, the governor of Ba Commandery."
"Zhang Fei once again displayed that indomitable spirit, and he loudly rebuked Yan Yan: 'My army has arrived, why do you not surrender, but dare to lead your troops to resist!'"
But he said, "You unjustly seized my Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou only has generals who would rather die than surrender!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was furious. He ordered his men to drag Yan Yan out and behead him. Interestingly, even at this point, he didn't flinch, his demeanor remained unchanged, and then he said:
"So be it, behead him! What's with the anger!" Perhaps it was for this reason that Zhang Fei admired Yan Yan's courage and ultimately released him, even making him one of his guests.
A spoiled young man from the Song Dynasty: To be honest, this person is quite bold. It seems that loyalty and righteousness were still valued back in the Qin and Han dynasties!
A bystander from the Ming Dynasty commented: Actually, we could have surrendered, since Liu Bei's army was sweeping through the enemy lines at that time!
Du Ruhui of the Tang Dynasty: Not surrendering is also a choice!
Liu Zhuzhu: Alas, what a pity for such a loyal and righteous man! But Liu Bei's army still has quite a few capable fighters!
An official of the Sui Dynasty: He has obtained both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, as well as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei!
Yuan Shao of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Damn it, how can he be so lucky! Is it because he's surnamed Liu, or does he have some kind of special charm?!
Cao Cao: Alas… if only I hadn’t summoned Guan Yu…
Zhang Fei: That's my second brother!
Judy, the General Who Conquers the North: He's a ruthless man, remaining completely calm. If he had surrendered earlier, this wouldn't have happened! Or perhaps it was Liu Zhang himself who allowed Liu Bei's forces to enter!
