Chapter 665: The Eve of Ding Shu
Jia Long and Ren Qi were both dead, and the Yizhou Army's chief general Liu Xun, Yang Huai, Gao Pei and others were all killed and injured. Most of the Yizhou Army was killed and injured, and the rest either fled in scattered or surrendered to Liu Qi.
The Bajun soldiers represented by Park Hu all recognized Liu Qi as the main one.
After some sort of pick-up, Jia Long and Ren Qi's remnants were taken to the tent by Liu Qi... As for Shangyong Mountain City east of Hanzhong County, there was Zhao Wei, the subordinate of Jia Long, who was guarding him. Liu Qi sent someone to send a letter of surrender, asking Zhao Wei to offer the city as soon as possible.
However, Zhao Wei is Jia Long's iron-kick. He would rather follow Jia Long than betray him. Liu Qi probably gave him this letter of surrender for free.
But it doesn't matter. He has done enough to save face. If Zhao Wei does not surrender, Liu Qi will directly order Wenbing to lead his troops to recover Shangyong.
What he has to do now is to appease the military and civilians in Luocheng, and issue laws to recuperate.
At the same time, he also wanted to recover the surrounding county town centered on Luocheng.
After some careful consideration, Liu Qi sent Yan Yan to Ba County to pay homage to his brother Yan Yong and show his excellence to the other party.
With the power of the Yan family and the cooperation of the seven surnames of Yi King Pu Hu, it should not be difficult to recover the counties of Ba County.
The counties of Jianwei County sent Taishi Ci and Zhang Ren to recover.
Ren Qi died, and the powerful people from all over Jianwei County were in no leadership. Liu Qi felt that as long as Taishi Ci and Zhang Ren could be both kind and powerful, it would not be difficult to take down Jianwei County.
Liu Qi handed over to Gan Ning in Guanghan County and Shu County.
Gan Ning is also a native of Shu. Although he did a lot of ridiculous things in Shu in the past, Shu County was his hometown after all. When it comes to familiarity, no one can compare with Gan Ning.
After all the troops and horses calmed down the surrounding county towns, he could rush his troops eastward to conquer Mianzhu in one fell swoop, and settle down in Shu.
Zhang Song was also among them to capture Luo City this time, and he expressed his deep apology to Liu Qi.
I wanted to come to Luocheng to help, but I worked inside and outside, but I never expected that Liu Xu was cunning and saw through his intentions. Liu Xu almost got into a trap. Fortunately, Liu Xu had been in the army for many years and had a long-term plan, so he was not counted by Liu Xu.
Although Zhang Song felt ashamed, Liu Qi did not care. He still missed Zhang Song's contribution very much.
After all, if Zhang Song did not provide him with the secret villages and warehouses from Luocheng to Fuling, and help Liu Qi remove the nails along the way, it would take at least a year for Liu Qi to sweep the surrounding area of Luocheng and conquer the land.
Liu Qi asked Zhang Song about his next offensive strategy.
Zhang Song advised Liu Qi: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the current situation. Liu Yan and his son have always been unpopular in Shu. In the battle of Luocheng, most of the soldiers and horses were lost, and the generals were also greatly damaged. Now there are very few people under Liu Zhang's command, and the troops are not enough to use them. The people of Mianzhu are panicked. The king Majesty only stationed in Luocheng and sent troops to recover the counties of Guanghan and Shu County. Now the less anxious the king Majesty attacks Mianzhu, the more panicked Liu Zhang is, the more chaos the Mianzhu is."
Zhang Song's words were deeply loved by Liu Qi.
He asked, "According to Zhang Junzhi's opinion, when is the best time for us to fight Mianzhu?"
Zhang Song smiled and said, "Let's just wait until Liu Zhang abandons the city, let's go and get the city."
"Liu Zhang abandoned the city?" Liu Qi frowned when he heard this: "Mianzhu is the capital of Shu County, how could Liu Zhang abandon it easily?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang had already arranged it before he left. With the current terrain of Mianzhu, it may be extremely difficult to defend the army sent by Mr. Jun from Luocheng. According to Zhang's thoughts, in the near future, someone will inevitably advise Liu Zhang to give up Mianzhu and go to Chengdu... We will just wait for Liu Zhang to move, and we will do it again."
When Liu Qi heard this, he suddenly realized: "This is the case."
...
The facts were as Zhang Song expected. After Ling Bao and Deng Xian led the remnants to Mianzhu, they immediately caused great panic in Mianzhu.
Luocheng, where the 50,000 Yizhou army led by Liu Xi was located, was the largest barrier in Mianzhu. In this way, Luocheng was lost and Liu Xi died in battle. The remaining 50,000 troops were only more than 5,000. Ten pavilions went to Jiuting...
Such a great defeat, Mianzhu will inevitably be shocked!
The whole city was panicked, and many of the officials under Liu Zhang's command were at a loss.
Take the initiative to attack and grab Luocheng? You will definitely not be able to fight, so don’t even think about it.
Guarding Mianzhu? Even Luocheng cannot be defended, let alone Mianzhu!
In this dilemma, Huang Quan suggested to Liu Zhang that all the people should be moved to Chengdu and set Mianzhu as a barrier in front of Chengdu.
Huang Quan's strategy is very simple and easy to understand, because since Li Bing controlled the water, the water of the Minjiang River became tame. When the water was too high, the flood was discharged from the outer river and the Chengdu plain was safe. During the drought, the water of the Minjiang River was introduced from the Nei River and continuously irrigated this fertile land, making the Chengdu land a top-ranked granary in the world.
The basin where Chengdu is located is also the westernmost part of Shu County. It has never experienced war and has a relatively stable social environment. Compared with Mianzhu, Chengdu's food and fodder can support Liu Zhang to recruit more people to form an army to continue to fight against Liu Qi.
Of course, even if Liu Zhang moved to Chengdu and formed an army with the prosperity of Chengdu, it is still a matter of whether he could defeat Liu Qi.
But the current situation can only be a life-threatening treatment.
Liu Zhang was already at his wits of despair at this moment. He couldn't think of any good way to repel Liu Qi, so he could only take one step at a time.
So Liu Zhang began to move the capital.
...
The news about Mianzhu was passed on to Luocheng by the guards' office.
Liu Qi then began to prepare the army and prepared to launch a final blow to Liu Zhang when he moved!
After this battle, Yizhou was completely pacified.
At that time, he will be the world's number one prince spanning Jing and Yi states!
Even Yuan Shao, Liu Qi is confident that his strength is above him!
Two days later, Cai Mi, Cai Yan, Du Yan and others from Jiangzhou arrived in Luocheng.
Although several women were in the rear of Jiangzhou, they were always thinking about Liu Qi. It was just that the war ahead was quite tight. Although they wanted to meet Liu Qi, they were not easy to disturb him.
Until now, the big thing has been settled, they dared to come.
When he saw several wives entering Sichuan and meeting him, Liu Qi's heart should be as warm as possible.
Especially when Du Yan came with his little Liu Ying, who was holding him, Liu Qi was even more touched.
At this moment, Xiao Liuying was lying in her mother's arms, sleeping heavily with her fingers...
Liu Qi walked over with a smile, trying to reach out to touch his daughter's little face, but Cai Mi reached out to stop him.
"The child is sleeping. What should you do if you wake her up?" Cai Mi said to Liu Qi dissatisfied.
Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded suddenly and said, "That's true."
After saying that, he looked at Du Yan and whispered: "Ling Yi, I'll go to your room tonight and let's take care of the children together."
Du Yan nodded with a smile and agreed.
Cai Mi sighed lightly and said resentfully: "It's better to have children. Those who can't give birth to me will have to act according to your expressions for the rest of their lives."
When Du Yan heard this, her face turned red and she hurriedly said, "Sister, don't talk nonsense, nothing is wrong."
"She is just a knife-mouthed person." Liu Qi smiled and slapped Cai Mi's stomach: "Have you not moved yet?"
"You father is not working hard, how can it make any noise?" Cai Mi asked Liu Qi's fault with dissatisfaction.
Liu Qi felt deeply wronged.
To be honest, among these four women, this sister is the one who works the most.
But the piece of field on her belly is really not good. What can you do with her?
"Sister, Yan'er, Zhaoji, Shu'er, the terrain of Luocheng is dangerous and amazing. As I have been busy with all the trivial matters in the past few days, why not accompany you around, and enjoy the mountains and rivers while going outings, how about it?" Liu Qi suggested.
Liu Qi's suggestion was naturally supported by several women.
At this moment, he arranged for four women to go back to the mansion to rest first, while Liu Qi himself returned to the county office first and dealt with the remaining military affairs.
The four girls came to Liu Qi's residence in Luocheng to rest.
Before he could rest for an hour, a guard of the house, a Jing Wushu came to the courtyard to pay homage to his mistress Cai Mi.
"Report to Madam, the Jiangzhou Commander came to pay homage to Madam!"
"Jiangzhou Chief Commander?" Cai Mi frowned and looked at the Jing Wushu in confusion: "Which is Jiangzhou Chief Commander?"
"Zhang Xiu! Zhang Duwei has just been appointed as Jiangzhou Duwei."
"Zhang Xiu..." Cai Mi didn't think about it for a while, and thought about it carefully for a while before she remembered: "Is it the surrendered general of the Western Liang Army?"
“That’s right.”
"What did he do when he came to see me? I am not familiar with him? I don't see you."
The Jing Wushu went out after hearing this.
But soon, he turned back.
"Zhang Xiu said that if the wife doesn't see him today, he will sit and die outside the mansion."
