The sneak attack resulted in heavy losses. However, Cao's army became more and more fierce in the battle, which doubled Zhuge Liang's pressure.

The most terrifying thing is that from beginning to end, Cao Peng never appeared.

Zhuge Liang didn't notice it at first, but gradually, he discovered Cao Peng's intention...

Cao Peng, this is treating him as a whetstone!

The little boys on the opposite side were jerky at first, but gradually became more and more sophisticated. Guo Huai was calm, Deng Ai was eccentric, Sun Shao was fierce, and Qin Lang was changeable. Coupled with the iron-walled general Hao Zhao supervising the battle, Zhuge Liang entered May.

Some felt it was too much. The 20,000 barbarian soldiers under his command gradually became uninterested in fighting anymore.

As the war progressed, the morale of the military wavered a little bit...

At the same time, Zhuge Liang became more aware of Cao Peng's true intentions.

He had a feeling that Cao Peng was not too eager to capture Chengdu. He was probably leading the troops this time to provide cover for Cao Zhang.

They wanted to evacuate, but were held back by Cao Jun.

In mid-May, Meng Huo attacked Cao's army secretly, but Deng Ai planned a counter-attack. As a result, Meng Huo's 6,000 barbarian troops were wiped out. Meng Huo was even among the rebels, and was killed by Sun Shao. He lost his life.

With Meng Huo's cover, the pressure on Jiameng Pass increased sharply.

It was at this time that after two months of arduous negotiations.

Liu Gao of Brazil officially announced his surrender to Cao Cao.

Immediately, Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, also announced his surrender. Cao Zhang marched in and occupied Bajun without even using a single soldier.

Liu Bei was also shocked when he got the news.

He quickly ordered Zhang Fei to go to Langzhong, trying to use the Western Han River as a barrier to block Cao Zhang's advance.

But before Zhang Fei arrived in Langzhong, Zhang, Ren and Lengbao took the lead to attack and occupied Langzhong...

Zhang Fei had no choice but to retreat and occupy Zitong for defense.

At the same time, Liu Bei urgently summoned Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops, trying to unite his forces and hold on to Zitong.

However, Zhuge Liang tried to retreat with his entire army several times, but was discovered by Cao's army. Cao Zhang's advance went smoothly, which also made Cao Peng relieved. After Cao Zhang's troops approached Langzhong, Cao Peng finally showed up and led the army to attack Jiameng Pass.

Five hundred eight-niu crossbows were urgently mobilized from Hanzhong and launched continuous attacks on Jiameng Pass.

After holding on for three days, Zhuge Liang finally couldn't resist. He took only less than ten thousand people with him and evacuated Jiameng Pass in embarrassment. After occupying Jiameng Pass, Cao Peng no longer hesitated. He ordered the three armies to pursue and Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei must not be reunited.

.Zhuge Liang left in a hurry. When he was defeated and retreated to Deyang, he was overtaken by Cao Peng and besieged the city.

At this time, Cao Zhang took Lingling Prefect Wei Yan as the vanguard and Zhang Ren Lengbao as his deputy to attack Zitong.

After Zhang Fei held on for two days, Zitong City was defeated.

If Chen Dao at Fuling Pass had not rescued him in time, Zhang Fei would have died in the battle against Zitong. After the remaining defeated soldiers joined Chen Dao, Zhang Fei was just about to rest and regroup when Cao Zhang's troops came to the city.

In June, Fa Zheng ordered Samoko, Wang Ping, Zhang Yi and three others to walk through the Yinping Trail, capture Jiangyou, and approach Mianzhu.

This is Cao Peng's unique army.

Fa Zheng offered his plan for the Yinping Trail, and Cao Peng handed over all his unworthy flying troops to Fa Zheng.

The Mianzhu defenders only held out for two days before surrendering with the city.

After Mianzhu was defeated, Zhuge Liang, who had previously ruled Deyang, became a lone army. Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei to lead his troops to recapture Mianzhu. However, as soon as Zhang Fei set off, Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, came

, the news of the capture of Jianwei County. The four counties in Nanzhong surrendered their entire city, and most of Yizhou was lost.

Liu Bei is really anxious now!

Chengdu was in chaos, and the powerful families who had just expressed their submission began to be at odds with each other again, and their attitudes were hard to figure out.

At the end of June, after holding the Fuling Pass for 20 days, Chen Kuhou's reinforcements failed to arrive, so he had to surrender at the pass.

Cao Zhang treated Chen Dao favorably, promoted him to the rank of general of Han Dynasty, and regarded him as a confidant.

Fuling Pass was lost, and Chengdu was no longer in danger of being defended.

Zhang Fei violently attacked Mianzhu for more than ten days without success. Faced with Yan Yan's army stationed in Wuyang, and the troops were directed towards Guangdu, he had no choice but to return to Chengdu.

In July of the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Peng gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack the old government of Deyang, and the city of Deyang was destroyed.

Zhuge Liang wanted to commit suicide, but he did not want to be stopped by his own soldiers and became a prisoner of Cao Peng. At the same time, Zhang He's left army had already arrived at Mianzhu City, joined forces with Fa Zheng, and headed towards Chengdu.

Liu Gai sent Zheng Du to take the letter and send it to Guangdu.

The Guangdu garrison, who was originally a nephew of the Zhengdu clan, knew that the situation was over after receiving Liu Gai's letter. So he immediately expressed his willingness to dedicate Guangdu. Yan Yan immediately came with troops and occupied Guangdu.

At the same time, after Cao Zhang prepared his troops at Fuling Pass, he captured the new capital Pixian County in one fell swoop.

Cao's army was encircled on three sides and surrounded Chengdu.

At this time, Liu Bei had become a caged bird. Cao's army was approaching the city outside, and people in Chengdu were panicking inside.

When Chen arrived, Zhuge Liang continued to lose. He surrendered and captured prisoners, and it was impossible to give Liu Bei any help.

What's even more frightening is that the local powerful people in Chengdu have shown strong hostility.

If Liu Bei didn't still have 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he was assisted by Zhang Fei, Wu Yi, Fei Guan and others, I am afraid that these Chengdu tycoons would have launched an army to cause chaos. But even so, it also made Liu Bei panic...

After two consecutive days without sleep, Liu Bei described himself as haggard.

On this day, he managed to take a nap when he suddenly heard someone report outside the house: "Your Majesty, something bad happened... The Zuo family in the city, together with several powerful families, gathered 3,000 people, took the North Gate by force, and opened the city to surrender.

.”

Liu Bei suddenly woke up.

He stood up from the bed with a cry, reached out and picked up a pair of male and female swords hanging on the bed rail.
