"Not receiving guests?" Fa Zheng was dumbfounded.
What kind of situation was this? Just now, Liu Zhang and Fa Zhengyan were still talking.
He was even on the verge of humbling himself.
How did things turn out like this in the blink of an eye?
"Are you sure that's what your master said?" Fa Zheng's errand boy asked the guard in disbelief.
"Hmph, it's absolutely true." The guard replied respectfully to Fa Zheng.
"Where's His Highness? I want to see His Highness. " Although Fa Zheng was very uncomfortable, he still wanted to see Liu Zhang. He wanted to know what was going on because it was related to the safety of the entire Yi Province and the survival of the people.
If something went wrong, the people would be plunged into misery and suffering.
"His Highness? In our Yi Province, there's only the Prefecture Overseer. There's no His Highness. Mister Fa Zheng, please go back! "A person walked out and sneered at Fa Zheng.
"You, you're the one who invited our Mister. You … "Fa Zheng's attendant was unhappy and wanted to argue.
However, Fa Zheng stopped him and said, "Let's go! Chen Cheng! "
"Mister!" Chen Cheng understood why he didn't go forward to argue with them.
"What are you talking about? What's there to talk about? " Fa Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He already understood Liu Zhang's thoughts from the way he addressed him.
Prefecture Overseer?! Liu Zhang still couldn't let go of his authority in Yi Province. He still wanted to be their local emperor.
Fa Zheng didn't know what Liu Zhang said to Huang Quan, but he knew that Yi Province was going to be in chaos.
"That's good, that's good!" Fa Zheng shook his head. Fa Zheng was still holding on to his fantasy.
He thought that Yi Province could be resolved peacefully, but now it seemed that he was thinking too much.
The reason why the King of Han's troops did not enter Chengdu was because Fa Zheng had pleaded for leniency. Otherwise, even if Liu Mang had to worry about his reputation, he could have just increased the military support for Jia Xu.
He would let Jia Xu use Zhao Wei's name to invade Chengdu Prefecture, while he, Liu Mang, would defeat "Zhao Wei".
However, this would cause great suffering and suffering.
Now, it seemed that this was the only way. Since Liu Zhang didn't want to live anymore, they would fulfill his wish. This would prevent someone from using Liu Zhang's name to cause chaos in Yizhou.
"Let's go!" Fa Zheng was about to leave the Yi Province's Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
"Mister Fa Zheng, wait, wait!" Just as Fa Zheng and the others were about to leave, a person ran out from the mansion.
When Chen Cheng saw this person, he immediately laughed. This was a laugh that came from extreme anger. "What? You were the one who invited my master from the mansion, and now you want to drive us away?"
This person was none other than the marquis that they had met before.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency!" The marquis smiled bitterly.
"You don't have to tell me to stay away. I'm working in Yangzhou now."
"Yes, Your Excellency! Sigh! "The marquis sighed as well.
Only then did he tell Fa Zheng that all of this had happened after Huang Quan had discussed it with Liu Zhang, the Prefecture Overseer.
"Forced? Return it to Jiangzhou? "Fa Zheng knew that Liu Bei must have moved Liu Zhang. Liu Bei must have guessed that the previous attack was Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's troops.
The most important thing was that Liu Zhang still had the mentality of power in his heart.
Power was really a good thing. Once it was tainted, no one would be willing to let it go.
Liu Zhang was moved by Liu Bei and actually wanted to work together with Liu Bei.
"Haha, asking a tiger for its skin!" Fa Zheng confirmed Liu Zhang's actions. After saying that, Fa Zheng got into the carriage and prepared to leave.
After a long time, Fa Zheng said, "Turn left at the intersection ahead!"
"Hm? Mister, our residence is over there! "Chen Cheng asked curiously. He thought that Fa Zheng did not know the way. "That's the North Gate."
"We are going out of the city." Before they reached the city gate, Chen Cheng saw a few carriages waiting for Fa Zheng. The one leading the carriages was the old housekeeper of the residence.
"Let's go!" Fa Zheng nodded and said. Fa Zheng had already made preparations before he came out today. Regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, he had to leave Yizhou.
…
In Yong 'an County, Liu Mang looked at the report from Jia Xu with a strange expression. "They want to form an alliance with Zhao Wei to resist me?"
It said that Liu Bei had sent a messenger to contact Zhao Wei's army and said that he wanted to resist Liu Mang's invasion with Zhao Wei's army.
Did he want Liu Mang to fight his own people?
Zhao Wei's army was just Jia Xu fighting Zhao Wei's army. Even if it was really Zhao Wei's army, how could Liu Bei have the capital to form an alliance with Zhao Wei?
Those who came out to mingle with others depended on their strength.
No matter what, Zhao Wei had a territory and an army. Liu Bei, on the other hand, only had ten thousand soldiers under his command. How could he form an alliance with Zhao Wei if he could even eat?
"My Lord, Xiao Zhi sent a message. Liu Zhang seems to have formed an alliance with Liu Bei again." Zhang Song walked into the main tent.
Liu Mang had put Liu Zhang in charge of contacting Chengdu Prefecture and Fa Zheng. Zhang Song was more familiar with Yizhou than Liu Mang.
"Liu Zhang and Liu Bei have formed an alliance?" Liu Mang froze for a moment, then picked up the letter from Jia Xu.
Liu Bei wanted to form an alliance with "Zhao Wei", and now Liu Bei wanted to form an alliance with Liu Zhang?
Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei were dead, and Liu Bei did not have enough capital.
"Not good. My Lord, Chengdu Prefecture is in danger." Zhang Song immediately reacted. He was very familiar with both Liu Bei and Liu Zhang.
Compared to Liu Zhang, Liu Bei was purely an idiot. On the other hand, Liu Bei was a Chinese wolf. Liu Zhang actually believed that Liu Bei wanted to form an alliance with Liu Bei.
Now, Liu Bei's army had already left Yong 'an County and was in Jiangzhou.
"Chengdu Prefecture is not in danger, but I'm afraid that it has already fallen." Liu Mang also understood.
The alliance between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang was fake, but it was true that Liu Zhang had dispelled any thoughts of resistance.
Once Liu Bei's army enters Chengdu Prefecture? Hehe, just relying on Liu Zhang's defenders?
These two pieces of information were already received a few days ago. According to the schedule, Liu Bei should have already begun to act.
"A centipede dies but never falls down." Liu Mang also smiled bitterly. He wanted to kill Liu Bei, but Liu Bei escaped time and time again.
This time, he was about to capture Liu Bei again, but he did not expect that he would still escape. Now, he had even entered Chengdu Prefecture.
Even if Liu Mang wanted to attack Chengdu, it would be very difficult.
"It's all Song Song's fault!" Zhang Song blamed himself. Pang Shiyuan and Liu Bei could be so familiar with the terrain of Yizhou, mostly because of Zhang Song's help.
Back then, Zhang Song had wholeheartedly wanted to seek refuge with a wise ruler. Good, he had revealed his lifelong ambition.
Liu Bei was the real name that Zhang Song chose.
Originally, according to Zhang Song's script, after Liu Bei obtained Jingzhou, he would give him Yizhou as his capital.
However, it was later ruined by Fa Zheng. After that, Zhang Song went to Xiangyang and met Liu Mang, and was recruited by Liu Mang.
"Ziqiao, why do you blame yourself? Back then, Ziqiao was just serving different masters. Who doesn't make mistakes? "Liu Mang said to Zhang Song generously.
Although Liu Mang was comforting him, Zhang Song still could not forgive himself.
"If Ziqiao is still blaming yourself, I have a chance to redeem yourself. I wonder if Ziqiao is willing to do it?"
"What chance?"
"Chengdu Prefecture can be lost. As long as Yizhou still exists, Chengdu Prefecture cannot run away. However, there is only one Fa Zheng. Ziqiao, quickly contact Xiaozhi. I want him to appear in front of me safely." Liu Mang was afraid that Liu Zhang or Liu Bei would harm Fa Zheng's life. That would not be good.
Fa Zheng was more important than Yizhou in Liu Mang's eyes.
"Please rest assured, Milord. Even without Milord's orders, I will bring Xiaozhi to Milord in one piece." Zhang Song and Fa Zheng's friendship was very deep. Even if their political views were different, Fa Zheng was still unwilling to harm Zhang Song's life. He even recommended Zhang Song to Liu Mang. It was enough to see their friendship.
After instructing Zhang Song, as long as Fa Zheng was safe, Liu Mang would not have to worry.
Walking out of the tent and looking in the direction of Chengdu Prefecture, Liu Mang muttered to himself, "It's good that you entered Chengdu! I was really afraid that you would abandon the army and run away. "
Liu Bei was making a final struggle. He wanted to rely on Chengdu Prefecture, as well as contact Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu to deal with his Yangzhou army.
Zhao Wei was just a cover for Jia Xu. Even if the armies of the three families were there, Liu Mang was not afraid of death. Liu Mang was afraid that Liu Bei would be shameless and scatter his troops. What if he took Zhang Fei and the others and escaped?
Liu Mang was really hungry and did not know where to find them. Deep in the mountains and forests, hiding a few people was really not a problem.
Now that Liu Bei had occupied Chengdu Prefecture, it was really like catching a turtle in a jar.
"Men, pass down the order. Rest early today. Prepare breakfast at three in the morning and set out at five in the morning." Liu Mang did not know why he had a bad feeling in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to quickly get rid of Liu Bei and his army in Yangzhou.
"Bang!" After saying that, Liu Mang went to a tent. There was a person imprisoned in that tent. His name was Guan Yu.
…
Chengdu Prefecture, the original administrative center of Yizhou. It could be said that the whole world was in chaos. Yizhou was not in chaos. The whole Yizhou was in chaos. Chengdu Prefecture was not in chaos.
This was a city that had not suffered from the flames of war for more than half a century.
Today was the first time it had happened.
"Charge! Milord said that the first person to enter the city will be rewarded with 100 gold and be promoted by three ranks!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" Liu Zhang's troops in Chengdu Prefecture were stunned.
Weren't they allies just a moment ago? How did they become enemies all of a sudden?
Their stupor immediately summoned the Grim Reaper.
Countless Liu Zhang's troops fell under the blades of Liu Bei's army.
Liu Zhang's army was caught unprepared. In addition, Liu Zhang's main elite troops were in the hands of Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, one in the north and one in the south, resisting Zhao Wei and Zhang Lu. In Chengdu Prefecture, there were only some second-line garrison troops.
If they relied on the city walls of Chengdu Prefecture, they could still hold on for a while.
But now, they were caught unprepared. The city walls were not sealed in time, and the drawbridge was not lowered in time.
This was going to be a big problem.
Under this situation, the battle cries from outside the city had already reached the city.
"Huang Quan, is this the alliance you mentioned with Liu Bei?" In the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou, Liu Zhang was about to go crazy. He originally wanted to form an alliance with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei kept saying that he was guarding the gate of Jiangzhou for him, Liu Zhang's elder brother. Not only that, once Liu Mang retreated, he was ready to exchange Jiangzhou back. He would forever be Liu Zhang's underling.
He would let Liu Zhang continue to be his local tyrant in Yizhou.
Before he could finish his dream, he was slapped in the face by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had sent out his troops. His target was Chengdu. Just as they pretended to form an alliance, Liu Bei launched a sneak attack.
Chengdu Prefecture was completely caught off guard.
"I, I, I!" Huang Quan did not know how to answer.
He was also crying. He, Huang Quan, was really loyal to Liu Zhang. He was also wholeheartedly for Liu Zhang's good.
This was what led to the current alliance.
But who knew that Liu Bei's alliance was fake, and his secret plan was real.
Perhaps, as soon as Huang Quan left, Liu Bei sent people to follow Huang Quan and lay in ambush in Chengdu Prefecture.
As soon as Liu Zhang let down his guard, it was over. Liu Bei's army attacked the city.
"My lord, the outer city has fallen!" The marquis who was talking to Fa Zheng and the others was called Huang Jian. He ran in and shouted at Liu Zhang.
"What?! Say that again. "Liu Zhang widened his eyes and looked at Huang Jian in disbelief.
"My lord, the outer city … Lieutenant Dong of the outer city has died in battle." Huang Jian wiped the blood off his face. He had just returned from the outer city wall.
"It's over, it's over!" Liu Zhang collapsed on the ground. Chengdu's outer city wall was very sturdy. It had been reinforced since Liu Yan's era. Now, it was dozens of feet high. It could be said that it was the tallest city in the world. Even so, it had fallen.
"My lord, my army has retreated to the inner city. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
"Make the decision? What decision should I make? Huang Quan, you tell me what decision I should make!" Liu Zhang looked at Huang Quan with bloodshot eyes.
"If not for you, Huang Quan, I'm afraid I would have reached an agreement with Fa Zheng. I should be on my way to Shouchun now."
Huang Quan lowered his head and fell into deep self-blame. He had been deceived by Liu Bei. That was why his lord was in such a state.
"Fa Zheng, I'm against Fa Zheng. Men, go and invite Mister Fa Zheng over." Liu Zhang was desperate. He wanted to find Fa Zheng and see if there was still a chance of survival.
"My lord, it's useless. Mister Fa Zheng left Chengdu two days ago." Huang Jian had personally sent Fa Zheng away. How could he not know?
"Fa Zheng left too?!" Liu Zhang was completely paralyzed on the ground.
"Damn it!" Huang Quan gritted his teeth and pulled out the saber at his waist.
"General Huang Quan, where are you going?" Huang Jian questioned Huang Quan impolitely. If not for Huang Quan, how would things have turned out like this?
"I'm going to the city wall to kill the enemy." Huang Quan's expression was also ugly.
