Chapter 194: Soldiers enter Chengdu

The burning fire reflected the Jinjiang River a brilliant red color, and the shimmering water surface exuded a strange aura. Fire and water completely merged into one this night. Even Zhang Fei, who was covered in darkness, also revealed a completely different spirit from the past.

One is more domineering than usual, and the other is invincible Zhang Jide.

"Haha, a good man, you should take the enemy's head with a spear!" Zhang Fei shouted wildly, killing happily. In this battle, he wanted to fight for his second brother Guan Yu, and even more to fight for his elder brother Liu Bei in a difficult situation.

No matter what is blocking the way ahead, he will move forward.

In front of me is a dazzling flash of weapons.

Layered and endless killing.

Under the banner of "General Gao", Gao Chong, who was closely protected by the Lingtong Guards, was coldly watching the battle situation in front of him. After the fight in the middle of the night, the Jinjiang defense line that Zhang Fei had worked hard to lay was fragmented. After seeing the failure of resistance, Zhang Fei's troops began to surrender in batches.

When it dawn, all resistance will be meaningless.

Gao Chong turned his gaze to a corner of the northwest, where the fierce battle was still in full swing.

"Zhang Fei is extremely brave. He quickly sent the generals to raise their vigilance and must not let him escape!" When he saw Gan Ning's serious injury and coma, Gao Chong felt sad.

Gan Ning suffered fierce battles in succession. In the Tuoshui battle, he struggled to survive the crisis and almost exhausted all his mind. Before this battle, he was even attacked by the disease. Before he recovered, he insisted on going into battle and encountered a powerful enemy like Zhang Fei, so he suffered a secret loss.

The encirclement became tighter and tighter, and the fewer soldiers followed Zhang Fei's side were fighting. Under the dispatch and command of Gao Chong and Lu Xun, the besieged soldiers began to take turns to attack alternately. There was only one intention to do so, which would maximize the energy of Zhang Fei's troops. In the face of the uninterrupted attack, even Zhang Fei, who had never known the fatigue, felt a lot of pain, and the internal organs that were injured after fighting hard with Gan Ning just now were also painful.

"Gao Chong, you have the courage to come out and fight your third grandfather alone!" Zhang Fei, in despair, kept roaring and shouting.

However, no matter how Zhang Fei shouted, only the whistling flags were answering his resentment speechlessly. Gao Chong was like a cold-blooded killer who was always hiding in the darkness, always staring at the prey in the circle with cold eyes, always preparing to choose the best opportunity to kill the enemy with one blow.

If it turns into a dead body, what can it do if you have the courage?

Zhang Fei didn't understand that his futile shouting could not anger the calm hunter, but he could only consume his precious physical strength in vain.

"Ah--!" Zhang Fei shouted, while trying hard to pull down a commander led by Gao Chongjun who was too close to him, and then shaking the snake spear hard to turn the enemy soldier who had not yet died. At this time, Zhang Fei's hands were about to hold the heavy snake spear tightly, and his back was open with no protection.

Behind Zhang Fei were his subordinates who were following him, and with them protecting him, Zhang Fei thought no one could hurt him.

But suddenly, two sharp and fast sword winds swept quickly with the coldness.

He slashed towards Zhang Fei's neck and cut his broad back with one knife.

If the neck is broken, the body and head are different, and there will be no doubt death. If the back is broken, the spine is completely broken, and the injured will be no different from death. The sneak attackers obviously have carefully prepared that their purpose is to kill one blow.

Zhang Fei, who was working hard to deal with the frontal enemy, was completely unprepared for the weapons attacking behind him. He did not expect that, nor could he have expected that the killing move that caused him to die was not from the enemy who was eyeing him, but from his companions. The instinctive alert allowed him to avoid the first knife that was rushing towards his neck, but his left shoulder was cut into by the blade, and the wound penetrated deep into the bones, and tightly clamped the attacker's blade.

The one who made this sword was Zhang Fei's personal general Zhang Da.

Zhang Fei narrowly avoided Zhang Da's planned strike, but he could no longer avoid the second strike.

"Puff--!" Even a brave hero like Zhang Fei could not help but let out a muffled groan. Fan Jiang's sudden rebellion tore the broad back of the Youyan man's big man with blood long past his waist. The splashing blood was like a river rushing down, spilling the entire buttocks of the black-cone horse.

"You——, shameless rats!" Zhang Fei turned around with his red eyes, and used his left hand to abandon the spear to grab Fan Jiang's blade that was stagnant in the air, and shouted angrily.

Although Zhang Da, who had been surrendering to Zhang Fei's power for a long time, Fan Jiang and the other two were immediately frightened by Zhang Fei's fearless aura. They just plucked up their courage and used their strength at this time. Facing Zhang Fei, who was like a blood man, and Fan, who had the advantage, Zhang and the other two were both despaired.

"Three Generals--!" Fan Jiang struggled with trembling body.

"Bah!" Before Fan Jiang finished speaking, Zhang Fei had bitten the tip of his tongue and spitted bloody phlegm at Fan Jiang's face. At the same time, he swept hard with his right spear, mixed with a huge force and a whirring sound of wind. With a "click", Fan Jiang's spine was interrupted by this sweep.

Amid the screams, Fan Jiang's body was like a bag that was shattered and fell into trouble.

Seeing that Zhang Fei was severely injured, Zhang Da was extremely brave, and Zhang Da was completely disappointed. When Zhang Fei tried his best to deal with Fan Jiang, he had a chance to draw his sword to kill Zhang Fei, but he did not have the courage to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Escape—.

The further you escape, the better, and escape to a place where Zhang Fei could not chase him.

In an instant, this thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Da's mind, but he didn't know that he had no chance of running away in front of Zhang Fei's fight like a mad tiger. After all, Zhang Da was just a villain. All he could think of was a plot, or escape. How could he have to sacrifice his life to fight?

As a result, Zhang Fei, who was behind Fan Jiang, was very powerful. His next target was Zhang Da, who had already pulled out his horse and escaped five or six feet away. The captain hanging on the snake spear was completely breathed. His body slid down after sweeping over Fan Jiang's body. The unlucky captain fell to the ground and finally could close his eyes quietly.

Holding a spear in hand, Zhang Fei's energy penetrated Changhong-.

"Ha!" With Zhang Fei's full shouting, Zhang Da's body was pierced by a snake spear. Under the powerful momentum, his body flew forward several feet away before falling down.

In an instant, Zhang Fei killed two generals in a row!

This domineering aura made Gao Chong soldiers who were watching this scene stop shouting. Gao Chong, who was riding on the horse, saw this scene and couldn't help but shout: "Zhang Fei, a man from Yan, is indeed well-known!"

As if he heard the other party's praise, Zhang Fei, who had exhausted his last little strength in the counterattack, faced the sky, stretched his fingers, and laughed sadly: "Haha-ha-------------------- Ji De only regrets that he cannot chop off the head of the high-pampered thief for you with his own hands. In the next life, we will definitely be brothers!"

After laughing, Zhang Fei fell on his back. The black-cone horse under him seemed to sense that his master was in trouble. After a long neighing, he spread his four hooves and rushed towards the besieged Gao Chong soldiers. Zhang Fei's body, whose feet were wrapped in saddle ropes, was dragged by the war horse, leaving behind a bloody red blood path. Zhang Fei, who had defeated countless powerful enemies on the battlefield, finally failed to escape this disaster. Like his second brother Guan Yu, he also went with infinite regrets. The difference is that it was not the enemy who killed him, but his subordinates.

With Zhang Fei's death, the final resistance of the defenders on the Jinjiang River also fell. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang spent their time making up for one loophole, but did not want to leave Gao Chong the other one.

The gate of Chengdu was opened. When Gao Chong rushed to the city, they had no resistance in front of them. Liu Bei, who had just gained the power of rule in Shu for only one year, had not completely won the trust of the people of Bashu. When the officials of Bashu headed by Qiao Zhou decided to offer the city again, they had as expected and did not encounter much opposition.

The officials of Jingxiang who followed Liu Bei to Sichuan either died in battle or followed Liu Bei to block the enemy on the banks of the Qingyi River. The only left-behind officials, Xu Jing, saw that the situation was not good, and they abandoned their official positions early. As Gao Chong's old subordinate, Xu Jing, who claimed to be a famous scholar in the Qing Dynasty, took the face into consideration this time and chose to flee north. Since Liu Bei was unreliable, he continued to look for the next person to surrender.

When the outline of Chengdu finally appeared in front of Gao Chong and the generals, Gao Chong, who had seen the prosperity of Xiangyang, had to sigh that Chengdu is well-known. As the governor of Yizhou Prefecture and the leading metropolis, Chengdu is also known as "Jincheng" due to its development of the cotton weaving industry. Not only that, because it is located in a remote corner and has not suffered from major wars, Chengdu nest silk, silk weaving, salt boiling, iron smelting, weapons, gold and silver ware, lacquerware and other handicraft industries are all available, and its development level is even better than that of Jiangdong.

If Liu Bei had a stable foothold in Yizhou, he could properly apply it with Jiangdong only by relying on the economic strength of the Tianfu Plain area. Thinking of this, Gao Chong couldn't help but feel happy. Taking advantage of Liu Bei's foothold, he took advantage of the fact that he had not yet established himself and took the lead and now it seems that this step is the right step.

"General, this is a registered bamboo slip made in Chengdu City, with a total of 53,809 households and 230,461 people, of which 46,12 men aged between sixteen and sixty were 46,12 people——" Qiao Zhou shook his head and read the contents of the book slip silently. This is a rare opportunity to get a new owner, and it is essential to show off on excuses.

Gao Chong frowned. Qiao Zhou's behavior reminded Gao Chong, who was born in a humble family, who had seen before, who thought he was the elite of the Han Dynasty, but in fact they were the ones who lost the future of the Han Dynasty.

"You can report to these newly appointed officials in the prefecture to him after they take office!" Gao Chong waved his hand and stopped Qiao Zhou's long and long speech.

There were 230,000 people, and only 40,000 males were left. After Liu Bei took over Yizhou, the population in Shuzhong was much smaller than when Liu Zhang was when he was. On the one hand, Liu Bei wanted to recruit troops to calm the resistance of various counties. On the other hand, it was a three-month high. The Liu war caused serious casualties among males in Shuzhong.

"Military advisor, you and Ziyang take over the granary of the prefecture and receive relief to the hungry people." Under Qiao Zhou's dumbfounded gaze, Gao Chong quickly issued the first order.

When he first entered the city, Gao Chong noticed that the people who were welcomed in the city looked hungry. In order to raise military rations for combat purposes, Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng strictly controlled the daily rations of the people. Although this method of drinking doves to quench thirst ensured the supply of food and grass for the army, they lost the hearts of the people.

"Boyan, you can quickly rectify your troops, chase and suppress Liu Bei's remaining enemies, and strive to encircle and annihilate his troops on the banks of the Qingyi River. Remember not to let Liu Bei flee north to Hanzhong." After Chengdu was settled, the overall situation in Yizhou was settled. In addition to winning the hearts of the people in Shu, the most urgent task was to pursue Liu Bei's remaining troops and not give him any possibility of turning over.

Everyone is happy and sad. Compared to Gao Chong's proud spring breeze, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei has reached a dead end.

On the banks of the Qingyi River, Liu Bei, who defeated Li and Lu coalition forces, attacked Wuyang, was blocked by Huang Quan's troops. The Bai'er soldiers who lacked siege equipment had no choice but to abandon hundreds of corpses and retreat, but at this time, they found that there was no way out.

"I never thought that I, Liu Bei, had been destined to have such a tragic ending." Liu Bei leaned over and looked at the face of the gorgeous people reflected in the river, and couldn't help but feel sad.

"Lord, Liang was so incompetent that he was taken advantage of by Gao Chong's children, and the third general suffered misfortune!" Zhuge Liang sighed dejectedly, and he knelt down at Liu Bei to apologize.

Just after the scouts, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had already learned about the breaking of the Jinjiang defense line and the fall of Chengdu. Everyone knew what would happen if they were trapped between Wuyang and Chengdu without a support.

Liu Bei turned around and helped Zhuge Liang up and said, "Oh, how can you blame you? I am just Liu Bei for being incompetent. In the Central Plains, I was chased by Cao Cao and had nowhere to settle down. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the south, a Gao Chong actually asked me to do this dream of yellow and red, with bloody clothes, and to promote the great cause of Han. All this will be the same as the surging water in front of me. After all, Dongliu is unwilling to turn back."

The Qingyi River goes southeast, and flows into Tuo River in Wuyang, and then roars and rushes out of the Three Gorges, crosses Jiangling, Jiangxia, Guze, Jinling, Wujun, and finally flows eastward into the sea. Liu Bei witnesses this natural scenery, his brothers are both devastated, and he feels a bone-broken sadness. He is once more indifferent and does not want to accept his fate, but he has to obey his fate.

God's will cannot be violated - Liu Bei was tired, so he decided to give up.

"Lord, we still have hope. We can still go to Hanzhong in northern China. Even if Zhang Lu refuses to take it in, we can still go to Yongliang, Qin goes from Guanzhong to wipe out the six kingdoms--" Jian Yong patted the dust on his clothes and comforted him.
