At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

According to the guard's description, the conversation between Liu Zhang and Zhang Yi was very difficult. Before leaving, Liu Zhang was still angry and scolded Zhang Yi for a long time at the door.

Perhaps out of consideration for the people of the family in central Shu, Liu Zhang did not deal with Zhang Yi, but put him under house arrest.

Not long after, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Quan came to the county government.

"My lord, Guangdu City has been cleaned up. More than 3,500 enemy soldiers were killed in this battle, and the rest were all captured. No one escaped."

"How about our casualties?"

Liu Zhang didn't care about the casualties of the enemy, because they were at most 5,000 people, but it was different for his own side!

Attacking the city from three sides is very likely to cause damage far higher than that of the enemy!

"My lord, our army killed more than 2,300 people, seriously injured 500, and slightly injured more than 1,000."

After hearing Huang Quan's report, Liu Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything is fine!

It is absolutely acceptable to take down a city guarded by 5,000 people and only lose less than 3,000 people.

"Guangdu has been taken, and only Chengdu is left in the entire Shu County. As long as Chengdu is taken, we can occupy Shu County!"

Shu County is located on a plain, and it is far more convenient than Guanghan County for both marching and fighting.

Coupled with the fact that Jia Long and Ren Qi lost too many troops in Guanghan County, this result was also expected by Liu Zhang.

"My lord, now we can take advantage of the great victory and send troops to Chengdu to occupy Shu County in one go!"

Liu Zhang nodded in relief, what Huang Quan said was exactly what he was thinking now.

"What Gongheng said is right, we must not give Jia Long time and opportunity to react!"

"My lord, give the order!"

Dian Wei couldn't wait. He hadn't used his full strength in the battle of Guangdu, and he couldn't wait to attack Chengdu immediately.

"Okay! Zilong, you are temporarily leading the position of Guangdu Commander. I will temporarily take away your Huwei camp. I will leave you with two thousand troops to garrison Guangdu."

"Obey!"

Zhao Yun surrendered directly, without any dissatisfaction.

Right now there are 20,000 defenders in Chengdu. If you want a quick victory, you need troops.

There are two battalions of Taishici and Huangzhong in Chengdu, and there are nearly 16,000 soldiers in Guangdu after excluding the wounded.

Even if Liu Zhang took away 14,000 infantry, there were only 34,000 people around Chengdu, not even twice the strength!

The city of Chengdu is tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is absolutely impossible to decide in one battle like Guangdu City.

Liu Zhang had already prepared for the worst, and even had the idea of ​​calling reinforcements from all over the place.

"Zilong, I'll leave Guangdu to you. Guangdu is not far from Wuyang. Wuyang has 20,000 defenders. You don't have many troops. Remember to be cautious."

If it weren't for the pressure from Chengdu, Liu Zhang would not have wanted to deploy Zhao Yun's troops in this way.

"Yun remembers the words of the lord!"

As expected of General Huwei, Zhao Yun had 2,000 men defending the city, and guarded more than 1,000 prisoners, without any fear at all.

"By the way, Zhang Yi is still in the city. This person has a lot to do with him. We can't kill him in vain. You should put him under house arrest."

"Obey!"

"Gongheng, it's evil, you go to gather soldiers first, and tomorrow morning, we will send troops to Chengdu!"

"Obey!"

Huang Quan and Dian Wei took the order and left, leaving only Liu Zhang and Zhao Yun in the house.

"Zilong, I have something to tell you..."

When turning around Tianmao, Liu Zhang ordered his soldiers and horses, ready to march towards Chengdu, but something happened suddenly.

"What? Run away? What are you doing to eat!"

Liu Zhang was furious immediately, and began to reprimand Zhao Yun in front of the soldiers of the three armies.

"Forgive me, my lord. The general thought that the city of Guangdu had been pacified. I didn't expect someone to take over Zhang Yi. I only found out when the guards were changing this morning..."

Zhao Yun knelt on the ground, his face full of remorse. Yesterday Liu Zhang just told him that he was optimistic about Zhang Yi, but unexpectedly he ran away overnight.

"Hey! Do you know how important this descendant is to me?"

Zhang Yi can not only deal with Jia Long in Chengdu, but also connect with the Wuyang family through him. Liu Zhang didn't kill him mainly because he wanted to defeat Chengdu before going to talk about surrendering Zhang Yi.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang heard the news that Zhang Yi had run away just after leaving the city, which really made him very angry.

"The general will be guilty, please punish me..."

Up to now, Zhao Yun has nothing to argue with, and he is willing to accept the punishment.

Liu Zhang was in a good mood, but now it was all ruined.

"My lord, Zhang Yi ran away as soon as he ran. It has nothing to do with the overall situation. Chengdu is the most important thing right now."

Huang Quan took the initiative to stand up and begged for Zhao Yun's favor.

"Okay, Zilong, you must take it as a warning, I don't want any more accidents in Guangdu City!"

There is nothing wrong with what Huang Quan said. What Zhang Yi is concerned with is after the fall of Chengdu. Right now, we really should focus on defeating Chengdu.

"Thank you, my lord, I will definitely pay more attention at the end."

Liu Zhang didn't say anything more, and directly led the army to Chengdu, leaving only Zhao Yun in a daze, watching Liu Zhang's figure disappear before his eyes.

Within a few days, this matter spread, and everyone knew that Liu Zhang punished Zhao Yun because of Zhang Yi.

However, Liu Zhang also got a blessing in disguise, and gained a reputation for cherishing talents.

Two days later, Liu Zhang led his army to the vicinity of Chengdu and joined forces with Tai Shici and Huang Zhong.

When he saw the city wall of Chengdu, Liu Zhang was completely silent, and his mood sank to the bottom.

"Hey, I didn't expect Chengdu to be such a barrier!"

Only then did Liu Zhang understand why his ministers dared to use Chengdu as a city to resist Liu Bei in history, and they also uttered bold words about being safe for at least three years.

If Chengdu wants to attack by force, it will be too difficult!

Looking at the tall city wall, Liu Zhang felt dizzy for a while!

If the city is forcibly attacked, Liu Zhang doesn't even know if all 34,000 people will be able to take Chengdu!

"My lord, the battle of the heart is the top, the battle of the soldiers is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the siege is the bottom. Chengdu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the loss of a forced attack must be a lot! It's better to besiege and not attack. It has been a long time and people's hearts are floating. Chengdu Or you can go down without a fight!"

Huang Quan's rhetoric was recognized by the generals, especially Tai Shici and Huang Zhong.

After the two men led the army, they never took the initiative to attack the city.

Everyone knows that without ten times the force, it is absolutely difficult to capture Chengdu!

Both Huang Zhong and Tai Shici regarded the soldiers under their command as treasures, how could they be sent to die in Chengdu as cannon fodder?

"Hey, our existing soldiers can hardly even besiege Chengdu, so they can only be stationed below the city to confront Jia Long."

Liu Zhang suddenly felt a little regretful, if he hadn't attacked Berkshire at the beginning, how could he be short of major generals!

The two cities of Langzhong and Bazhong fully occupied the 40,000 troops under his command! There are also Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's two battalions of elites!

"Let's do this for the time being. The siege of the city is not very meaningful. First, set up camp under the city of Chengdu, and then use cavalry to patrol continuously. I don't believe that Chengdu has endless food!"

It is extremely unrealistic to mobilize troops right now. In fact, Guanghan County has no troops to mobilize, only Lei Tie and his 5,000 soldiers stationed in Luocheng are left.

But 5,000 people is a drop in the bucket for Chengdu and cannot play a key role.

If you want to forcibly break through Chengdu, you have to call back the troops from Langzhong and Bazhong!
