The sergeants swarmed forward. Yu An, Zhang Mo, Hong Bai and others were detained by the sergeants before they could react. Yu An shouted: "Lord, what crime have we committed?"
Liu Zhang didn't say anything. He threw out a roll of paper from his arms and dropped it to the ground. As soon as Yu An saw the paper, his face immediately turned pale. It was a rubbing letter of Yu An's relationship with Zhao Wei. Since Yu An helped Zhao Wei speak
, Liu Zhang sent people to monitor Yu An's whereabouts, but Yu An thought Liu Zhang was the weak and incompetent monarch before, so he took no precautions.
Only then did Yu An know that Liu Zhang had already noticed that he was connected with Zhao Wei. Zhang Mo and Hong Bai were all shocked. Liu Zhang ignored them and signaled Yang Huai to prepare for battle. Yang Huai waved his hand and all the soldiers cocked their crossbows.
, more than a hundred ceremonial cars were opened, and they were all filled with strong bows and crossbows, with countless arrows. Yu An and others gasped.
Yang Huai shouted to Zhao Wei: "Zhao Wei, you disobeyed and refused to return, and you have evil plans. If you don't withdraw your troops and go to the city to plead guilty today, you will be punished for rebellion." When Yang Huai spoke, Zhang Ren took a bow and arrow and slowly aimed at it.
Zhao Wei.
Soldiers were holding bows and arrows on various wall stacks, and there was a chilly atmosphere. When Zhao Wei saw this scene under the city, he didn't know that his actions had been noticed. However, there were only 5,000 defenders in the city, and he had 50,000. He was afraid of where he would come from.
, now that things have happened, they simply broke up with each other, entered Chengdu by force, and seized the power of state pastoralists.
Zhao Wei shouted loudly: "Liu Zhang, you are ungrateful. Don't you remember who resigned from office and followed your father Liu Yan into Shu? Don't you remember who protected you as the governor of Yizhou? Don't you remember these days?
Who fought in the east and west to consolidate your power? Is what you did today worthy of the bloody frontline soldiers? I, Zhao Wei, are loyal to you, the Liu family and his son. I am loyal and loyal to the sun and the moon, but you today
What they have done is really forcing us to rebel, so I, Zhao Wei, can’t be blamed.”
Liu Zhang opened his eyes, stood up from his chair, and shouted to the people in a cold voice: "Zhao Wei, don't say it nicely. My father entered Shuzhong, and you resigned and followed him. It was just for political investment, for the sake of a prosperous career."
, you supported me as the shepherd of Yizhou, but you just saw my cowardice. With me in charge, you can easily seize the power of Yizhou.
Your so-called expeditions in the east and west, bloody battles, are an exaggeration. On the contrary, in the past few years, you have monopolized the military power and excluded dissidents. Shen Mi, Lou Fa, Gan Ning and others were not at odds with you, so you demoted them from the army.
It is an unforgivable crime to appoint cronies, deceive the official at the top, be authoritarian and domineering at the bottom, and form cliques for personal gain.
I recruited you to Chengdu, but you refused to go because you were sick. When I came to Fucheng, you came with a large army. You said you were loyal and loyal, why didn't you dare to meet me alone? You were loyal and loyal, and tens of thousands of troops were hiding five miles away.
Besides, what do you want to do? Zhao Wei, you respect your own troops and have evil intentions, do you still want to quibble?"
When Liu Zhang said what he said, the civil and military officials all looked sideways, not believing what the always cowardly Liu Zhang said. Fazheng and Zhang Song were also shocked, and Liu Zhang's image began to completely change in their hearts.
Zhao Wei did not expect Liu Zhang to say such words. He was stunned for a long time before saying: "Master Zhou Mu, you have been deceived by traitors. Zhao Wei will kill the traitors around you today for Master Zhou Mu."
Liu Zhang sneered: "There is indeed a traitor around me." After saying this, the sergeant waved his hand and immediately held Yu An and others against the wall. Liu Zhang said coldly: "Kill."
The sergeant raised his sword and slashed it down. More than a dozen heads rolled down the city at the same time, with blood all over the ground. Zhao Wei, Li Yi and the cavalry behind him were all shocked. Gong Zhi was so frightened that he was covered in chaff. He was secretly glad that he had not agreed with Zhao Wei just now.
Enter the city, otherwise the head on your neck will roll down the city.
Liu Zhang said loudly: "Everyone can find and punish a treacherous villain. Zhao Wei, if you surrender, I will keep your body intact."
When Zhao Wei saw the situation, he knew that there was no way to retreat and the cavalry could not attack the city, so he immediately ordered a retreat. Just as Zhao Wei raised his sword, an arrow shot out and hit his chest, but the arrow only penetrated half of the way. Zhang Ren waved his hand reluctantly.
He said to Liu Zhang: "This Zhao Wei is wearing chain mail. Please forgive me, my lord."
Liu Zhang shook his head and sat back on his chair: "I don't blame you. The right way is to kill the enemy in a confrontation. The next step is a big battle. The strength of the enemy and us is very different, and the battle is dangerous. I leave all my duties to General Zhang."
Zhang Ren said with emotion: "Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Ren will fight to the death." With five thousand against fifty thousand, Zhang Ren really couldn't guarantee that he could securely defend Fucheng.
Zhao Wei received an arrow from the city. Although he was wearing chainmail, the force of the arrow was too strong and he still felt pain. He was furious. After returning with his cavalry, he immediately ordered Pang Le to lead an army of 50,000 to attack the city in turn.
"Attack the city and kill the rebels, kill." Pang Le drew his sword and shouted loudly. Five thousand soldiers immediately swarmed up and attacked Fucheng with siege ladders.
"Kill the rebels." At the top of the city, Yang Huai personally went into battle with a sword, urging the soldiers on each wall to fire arrows. Zhang Ren calmly watched the fierce siege of the rebels below the city.
Liu Zhang, Gong Zhi and other officials walked down the tower. Liu Zhang said to Gong Zhi: "Master Gong, now I want to hand over all government affairs in Fucheng to Wang Lei. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, absolutely not." Gong Zhi said hurriedly. After seeing how Liu Zhang had beheaded more than a dozen officials with just a wave of his hand, he still felt a chill on his back, not to mention that he would be put out of the situation. If Zhao Wei breaks the city,
My escape route is now wider.
"That's good. If you assist Wang Shuzuo with your heart, I will give you a reward after the rebellion is suppressed."
"Ah..." Gong Zhi was now very sensitive to the "increase in rewards" Liu Zhang said. When he heard Liu Zhang said that he wanted to increase the reward, he was sweating. Liu Zhang ignored him and led his own soldiers to patrol the city defense.
The fighting was fierce. The soldiers defending the city were raining arrows like locusts, and under the fire of powerful crossbows, the rebel soldiers were nailed to the ground one after another. Zhao Wei's rebels took turns to attack the city, but could not advance an inch. Zhao Wei saw that he could not attack for a long time, and his heart was burning.
Li Yi admonished: "My lord, as the military strategists have it, we should surround it with ten, attack it with five, and divide it with three times. Now our army is ten times that of Liu Zhang. We should surround Fucheng on all sides, feint on three sides, and attack on the other.
It will definitely come down in one go.”
"Good idea, I'll fight as you say." Zhao Wei gave the order, and several generals led their troops to the remaining three cities. Pang Le continued to direct the attack on the east city.
"Report." A soldier rushed into the mansion and paid homage to Liu Zhang: "My lord, General Gao Pei of Nancheng is in urgent need. General Zhang Ren has personally gone to supervise the battle. However, there are too many rebel troops and they may not be able to support them."
Liu Zhang said coldly: "Let Zhang Ren hold on for at least two more hours. Within two hours, Nancheng must not be lost."
"yes."
The soldiers left, and less than half an hour later, another soldier came to report: "My lord, the rebels in Beicheng are attacking fiercely, and General Leng Bao is in urgent need."
Liu Zhang frowned and said, "Ask Liu Huang to quickly dispatch inner city guards to assist."
"yes."
Not long after the soldiers left, Dongcheng and Xicheng were in danger one after another. Liu Zhang knew that this was Zhao Wei changing the main attack direction. If he continued like this, Fucheng, which was weak in strength, would fall sooner or later, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"My lord, are you worried about the war?" A voice sounded from behind. Liu Zhang turned his eyes and saw Fazheng standing behind him with a smile on his face.
