Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This news really surprised Yan Liang.

    What surprised Yan Liang was not only that Liu Zhang thought of borrowing the barbarian soldiers from Nanzhong, but also that Liu Zhang was bold enough to cut off the land from the barbarians and openly allowed them to establish a country and become king.

    As a member of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, he was able to do such a thing. It seems that Liu Zhang was really driven to the point of jumping over the wall, even losing face.

    As long as the princes have the conditions to borrow barbarian soldiers, there will be no one who has never used it before. Yan Liang once borrowed Samoko's Wuxi barbarian army to deal with Sun Quan.

    This is okay, because in the eyes of the princes, barbarians are just inferior races and tools that can be used. Give them some benefits, and after using them, find a way to kill them.

    But it seems that the current Liu Zhang is just using the barbarians. He actually wants to cede land to them and allow them to establish a country and become king. This is simply betraying the interests of all Han people.

    Snapped!

    Yan Liang suddenly slapped the case and said angrily: "What a bullshit Liu family. You don't even think about how many Han people your ancestors killed and injured in order to conquer these barbarians. All the efforts of the predecessors have been so easily ruined by you. Liu Zhang  Ah Liu Zhang, you bitch, you are looking for death!"

    Liu Zhang had no grudge against Yan Liang. It turned out that Yan Liang wanted to spare Liu Zhang's life and let him become a rich man after he captured Chengdu.

    But now, Liu Zhang's despicable behavior angered Yan Liang, prompting Yan Liang to decide that he had to kill the boy.

    "I didn't expect that Liu Zhang would come up with such a trick and cut off the land for Meng Huo to build some kind of Great Viet Kingdom. It seems that I really underestimated Liu Zhang's shameless bottom line."

    Zhang Song was lamenting that after following Liu Zhang for many years, he still did not fully understand this cowardly master.

    A cowardly person.  His level of shamelessness is often unimaginable to ordinary people.

    The sound of footsteps sounded, and Huang Zhong and other generals rushed to the big tent one after another. These fierce generals also heard about the barbarian rebellion in South China.

    "My lord, I heard that Liu Zhang ceded the four counties of Nanzhong to the barbarians and allowed them to build some kind of Dayue Kingdom. Is this relevant?" asked the veteran Huang Zhong.

    Yan Liang glanced at Zhang Song.  Zhang Song then showed the intelligence from Nanzhong to the generals.

    The information was circulated to every general who saw it.  Everyone was shocked and angry. When the information spread, the whole tent was filled with anger.

    "Liu Zhang is a coward. He can't defeat us. He actually ceded territory to Nanyi in exchange for rescue. What a coward!"

    "What bullshit royal family, they are all shameless people, extremely shameless."

    "My lord, let's break into Chengdu right now and kill that shameless coward Liu Zhang."

    "If the barbarians dare to establish a country and become kings, we will kill them all until no one is left alive."

    ¡­¡­

    In the big account.  The generals were furious and furious.  The cries of war were already heard.

    Yan Liang looked around at the indignant generals, the killing intent and ambition on his face surging like a tide.

    "Where is Zhang Yongnian?" Yan Liang shouted suddenly.

    "My subordinate is here." Zhang Song responded hurriedly.

    Yan Liang said sternly: "I order you to write a "Call for Liu" quickly, and write down Liu Zhang's despicable deeds of ceding our Han people's land to the barbarian slaves for help. Then copy tens of thousands of copies and spread them throughout the counties of Yizhou.  , and shoot tens of thousands more into Luocheng to let those Shu people know what a shameless coward the master they are loyal to is."

    Originally, Yan Liang's invasion of Yizhou did not have an advantage in public opinion, but now that Liu Zhang had given him this opportunity to engage in psychological warfare, how could Yan Liang miss it.

    "This subordinate knows what to do." Zhang Song responded.

    Then, Yan Liang glanced at the generals with cold eyes, and said angrily: "It is a joke for a shameless coward like Liu Zhang to remain in this world. I order you to attack Luocheng day and night from now on, and I will break it."  Luocheng, captured Chengdu, and personally killed Liu Zhang, a coward."

    Yan Liang, who had always been as calm as a mountain, was now burning with anger in his chest.

    As angry as he was, he generously ordered a killing order.

    "Destroy Luocheng, capture Chengdu, and kill Liu Zhang"

    "Destroy Luocheng, capture Chengdu, and kill Liu Zhang"

    The enraged generals waved their iron fists and shouted angrily, venting their anger and killing intent.

    The rolling murderous aura, like an angry wave, broke through the camp and shook the world.

    The mad attack begins.

    Within a few days, Zhang Song wrote a wonderful "Essay on Discussing Liu", which willHe denounced Zhang's shameless behavior in writing, copied more than ten thousand copies, and shot them into the city with strong bows and crossbows.

    At this time, rumors of Liu Zhang ceding territory and the founding of Nanyi had already flowed into Luocheng, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city had heard about it.

    Although the Shu people have been at peace for a long time, and the Shu army has low combat effectiveness, this does not mean that the Shu people have no dignity or backbone.

    When the news came that Liu Zhang had ceded territory in exchange for reinforcements from Nanyi, many upright Shu people felt it was a great shame. Instead of feeling a little bit lucky, they were even more disappointed with Liu Zhang.

    In Luocheng, a sense of resentment soon filled the air. Complaints about Liu Zhang's actions were spreading rapidly like a spark.

    Facing the grumbling soldiers, all Zhang Ren and other Shu generals could do was to suppress these emotions as much as possible.

    Suppressing the soldiers' emotions was out of their own duties, but in the hearts of those Shu generals, there was no dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang's actions.

    Zhang Ren, the first general in Shu, after hearing the news, wrote a letter and sent it to Chengdu to explain the interests to Liu Zhang and persuade Liu Zhang to ask for help from Nanyi, but he must not cede territory, let alone allow it.  Nanyi established his country and became king.

    As a frontline general, Zhang Ren naturally did not understand Liu Zhang's difficulties, and he had a strong temperament. The words in his letter were also quite fierce, and he directly denounced Liu Zhang's move as betraying the ancestors of the Liu family.

    Although Liu Zhang was cowardly, it did not mean that he had no temper. Now that he was so blatantly reprimanded by his subordinates, Liu Zhang, who was originally guilty, naturally became angry from shame.

    The angry Liu Zhang was afraid that Zhang Ren's stance would affect the morale on the front line, so he immediately ordered Zhang Ren to be recalled to Chengdu and deprived of his military power.

    When Zhang Ren strongly opposed the move, Ma Chao also wrote at the same time, praising Liu Zhang's wise move and claiming that Nanyi was a considerable force and it would be foolish not to know how to use it to deal with Yan Liang.

    Ma Chao is half Qiang, and his father Ma Teng gained power by fighting against the Qiang people. Therefore, in Ma Chao's view, it is only natural to use foreign forces to attack the Han people.

    At the critical moment, Ma Chao's letter gave Liu Zhang great support. Overjoyed, Liu Zhang trusted Ma Chao's loyalty even more, and immediately ordered Ma Chao to take over the troops commanded by Zhang Ren.

    Ma Chao had not long since defected to Liu Zhang and had not gained prestige among the Shu army. Although he had taken over Zhang Ren's troops, there were still many dissenters among the Shu soldiers.

    And Yan Jun's "Demonstration against Liu" shot into the city was like adding fuel to the fire, making the resentment in the hearts of the Shu people burn even more fiercely.

    Incited by the imperial edict, the Shu soldiers in Luocheng became increasingly dissatisfied with Liu Zhang, and their confidence in resistance plummeted.

    While Yan Liang launched psychological warfare, he also launched a large-scale attack on Luocheng.

    Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and other senior generals, leading an army of 50,000, carried out attacks on Luocheng in turns day and night.

    Heavy siege weapons such as thunderbolt chariots and ballistae also bombarded the gates of Luocheng day and night.

    The land of Sichuan is mountainous, and the mountains are rocky. Such terrain conditions provide natural gunpowder for Yan Jun's Thunderbolt Chariot. Yan Jun can collect a large number of high-quality stone bullets on the spot with almost no effort.

    After four consecutive days of bombardment, Yan Jun fired nearly 100,000 stone bombs into Luocheng. The ground inside and outside along the city line was covered with a thick layer of stone bombs.

    The endless, all-weather attacks ruthlessly tortured the Shu army's fighting spirit, while the psychological warfare attacks fundamentally undermined the Shu army's morale.

    On the fifth day of the storm, the Shu army in Luocheng finally began to disintegrate.

    Shu general Wu Lan was dissatisfied with Ma Chao's command and led more than 300 pro-army troops in an attempt to secretly open the north gate and allow Yan Liang's army to enter the city.

    Although Wu Lan was eventually defeated by Ma Chao who arrived in time because he was alone, and fled to Yan camp with only dozens of soldiers and horses, the impact of Wu Lan's "rebellion" on the Shu army was  immeasurable.

    After Wu Lan, a large number of Shu soldiers tried to defect to the Yan army. Because Liu Xun and Ma Chao strengthened the defense of the four gates, these defecting soldiers could only climb over the city wall and risk crossing the city at night to defect to the Yan army.

    First there were a dozen people, then hundreds of thousands, and later they developed into hundreds of soldiers, fleeing across the city in an organized manner.

    Within a few days, nearly two thousand people crossed the city and surrendered to Yan Liang.

    For these surrendered soldiers, Yan Liang naturally treated them kindly, entertained them with good food and wine, and then organized them to go to various gates in Luocheng to recruit their companions in the city to surrender.

    In this way, acceptThe number of Shu troops who surrendered due to the uprising increased day by day.

    Faced with such an unfavorable situation, Ma Chao suggested to Liu Xun that the captured soldiers who attempted to defect should be punished with capital punishment.

    At the same time, Ma Chao also suggested that the "Essay on Discussing Liu" should be searched throughout the city and shot into the city, and anyone who dared to read it privately or hide it should be killed without mercy.

    Liu Xun had no choice but to adopt Ma Chao's suggestion and use bloody policies to suppress the betrayal of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

    Overnight, the entire Luocheng City was shrouded in white terror, and as many as a thousand soldiers and civilians were killed.

    Although Ma Chao and the others used all kinds of horrific methods, the killings did not slow down the defections, but instead increased the scale of the defections day by day.

    Outside the city, Yan Liang receives the defecting Shu soldiers every day, using good wine, good food, and his comfort to win the hearts of the Shu people.

    At the same time, Yan Liang was counting the days. Judging from the situation, the Shu army in Luocheng could not hold on for long.

    At this time, Yan Liang came back from inspecting the camp, and Pang Tong and other counselors hurriedly followed him in.

    Zhang Song presented a silk letter with both hands and said excitedly: "My lord, our time has finally come. Lei Tong in Luocheng sent someone to send a secret message, saying that Liu Xun had no choice but to accept Ma Chao's plan, and tonight we will all be together."  Come out and rob our camp at night."
