The city wall has changed its owner, and the battle in Luo County can basically be declared over.

Liu Bei, accompanied by Liu Yi, Yang Ren, Huo Jun and others, climbed up the city wall. Looking around, there were corpses of the two armies, some of the blood had begun to solidify, and the battle in the city continued. Liu Yi stepped on the city wall and could feel the sticky feeling coming from his feet. The joy of victory was diluted by such a cruel scene.

Even though he had experienced many wars, it was the first time he had participated in such a real tough battle. Looking at the Shura hell-like scene, Liu Yi felt a little depressed.

"The whole city is martial law, and a notice is posted on the Anminister's people. Those who do not surrender in the city... kill. Anyone who attempts to resist or make trouble while the chaos... kill!" At this moment, Liu Bei showed the decisive killing of a hero. Luo County has been determined to stabilize as soon as possible, and then to appease the hearts of the people.

The city was broken, and the Shu army in the city had already escaped long ago. Those who stayed in the city at this moment had no time to escape. Seeing that the situation was over, most of the Shu army chose to kneel down and surrender, and the scattered stubborn resisters were also quickly killed.

Liu Yi looked around and said to Liu Bei beside him: "Lord, please send someone to clean up these corpses as soon as possible and drag them out of the city to bury them. If you can't bury them, burn them on the spot to avoid plague."

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this and pointed a general to arrange the matter.

In the next few days, no troops were sent. With Luo County being destroyed, it was shocking for the people of Shu County and Guanghan. Once Luo County was broken, Liu Bei's army could reach Chengdu at any time. Under the capital city, all the cities on the plain of Shu County were within Liu Bei's attack range. Many county towns began to secretly send surrender letters. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that with Luo County being broken, Liu Zhang's power had come to an end.

Chengdu, the governor's mansion.

When Zhang Ren, covered in blood, appeared in front of Liu Zhang and explained the war in Luo County in detail, Liu Zhang and all the civil and military officials in Shu were panicked.

"What should I do?" Liu Zhang looked at a group of civil and military officials in panic. Liu Bei not only had strong troops, but also had such sharp siege equipment. The role of the city wall had been lost for half. How can he defend this?

Huang Quan stepped forward and bowed and said, "My lord, don't panic, Cheng. The capital is high. According to General Justice, Liu Bei's siege equipment is powerful, but it is not invincible. You can dig more trenches around Chengdu and broaden the moat. It is best to build an outer city outside the city before Liu Bei's army arrives. I. Cheng. The capital still has 30,000 troops and enough food and supplies, so Liu Bei may not be able to attack Chengdu."

Liu Zhang sighed helplessly: "What if you keep it?"

Huang Quan said: "Liu Bei's main force is here, and Hanzhong will inevitably be empty. As long as our army can defend Chengdu, the Prime Minister's army will be able to defeat Hanzhong. At that time, the lord can pass on the elite troops from all over the country and attack Liu Bei with the Prime Minister. Why worry about Liu Bei's undefeated?"

Huang Quan was also quite helpless. His lord was kind, but his personality was quite cowardly. People were advised by his ministers to surrender, but when he arrived at his home, the lord took the initiative to surrender. What's the matter? As a minister, he was tired.

Liu Zhang was helpless and had some luck in his heart. At that time, according to Huang Quan's intention, he began to send someone to inquire about Liu Bei's information while building various fortifications outside the city and making plans to defend himself.

Chengdu was the last battle of Liu Bei's attack on Shu this time. As long as Chengdu was completed, Yizhou would basically be in Liu Bei's pocket.

But this last battle is not easy to fight.

On the first day of May, the weather began to get hot, and the entire Shu area seemed to be in a steamer. Before Liu Bei's army began to set off from Luo County, Yang Ren, who was in charge of taking the lead, had already faced the army led by Zhang Ren. The sound of two men fighting in the wilderness rushed like tides.

There were not many troops, but the battle was extremely fierce. From the meeting at noon, neither side talked nonsense and fought until evening. The battlefield between the two sides continued for several miles. Along the way, corpses were everywhere. Until the afterglow of the setting sun brought the last brightness to the world, the main generals of both sides began to withdraw their troops.

The blood stains on his face were not wiped away. Yang Ren rode his horse in front of the formation, looked at Zhang Ren, who was also full of evil spirits, and said loudly: "General Justice, Liu Zhang's defeat is the general trend. If the general is so talented, why should he be foolish and loyal? It is better to surrender early. With the ability of the general, why worry about not being able to be a marquis and a general in the future!?"

When they met, Yang Ren was too lazy to say this, but after fighting for a day, the level of both sides was similar, and it would be useless to fight any further. Now it was a matter of time before Liu Bei occupied Shuzhong, so Yang Ren wanted to try whether he could persuade Zhang Ren to surrender.

"Loyal ministers do not serve the second masters. If you want to fight, you will fight. Don't be noisy!" Zhang Ren snorted coldly, hung his gun on the back of the horse, and led his troops to retreat to Chengdu. It was a bad idea to resist Liu Bei and defend him to the death. Zhang Ren originally wanted to bypass Liu Bei's main force and cut off his food and grass, but he was about to encounter Yang Ren. This battle was tied, but the robbery of the grain was still alive. It was a pity.

Yang Ren did not chase after him. After fighting for a day, the soldiers were exhausted. He immediately set up camps and repaired them. At the same time, he sent people to Luo County to invite Liu Bei to send some troops. Today, the battle was a little damaged, and the troops were almost defeated and collapsed. He ran to Chengdu. Then Zhang Ren brought his troops to attack, so he could only escape with his tail between his legs.

"Have you ever found this? How many soldiers are there?" Luo County, Liu Yi read the letter sent by Yang Ren, handed it to Jian Yong beside him, and looked at Liu Bei and said.

"I'm afraid there are as many as 30,000 or 50,000." Liu Bei frowned and said, Cheng. It is stronger than Luo County, and the city wall is also higher. The attack on the city wall that Liu Yi made before is afraid is not useful in Cheng.

Although Liu Bei captured Luo County, he suffered a lot of losses. Such troops attacked Cheng. If there were no strange plans, it would be difficult.

Pang Tong was not here, and now Liu Bei is the only one who can be called a counselor by Liu Bei's side. Liu Yi, Jian Yong, Yang Song, Zhang Lu, and Li Yan. Liu Bei finally looked at Liu Yi. Compared with those newly surrendered people, Liu Bei obviously trusted Liu Yi more.

Liu Yi held his chin and thought, "Yi thought that Cheng doesn't have to attack, he just needs to be besieged and cut off Cheng. All the connections with the outside world will be called Cheng. They have already been removed from the outside."

"What does this mean?" Zhang Lu raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Simple, Cheng. No one can issue orders to the outside world. In fact, for the other counties in Shu, it is equivalent to falling. Our army will be in a trap. We will be surrounded but not attacked. We just need to defeat the Shu army that came to rush to help us take over the surrounding cities and counties. At that time, Cheng. We will be an isolated city, and we can order people to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender. In addition, if this news comes to Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao may not be willing to spend his troops in Hanzhong anymore. The siege of Hanzhong will be resolved." Liu Yi looked at everyone and smiled and said, "It's just that our army lacks enough troops, and it's not easy to siege Cheng. Yi just tried to speak, how to make a decision depends on the lord."

"What Bo Yuan said is right." Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, "Kong Ming had sent troops to attack Shu at this moment, so he immediately sent orders that reinforcements did not have to rush to join our army and attack the city slowly."

In this way, they just need to trap Chengdu and wait for reinforcements to sweep Shu land and meet with them.

"It's just that with our army's strength, how can we siege Chengdu?" Zhang Lu frowned.

"It depends on Bo Yuan's ability!" Liu Bei and Jian Yong looked at Liu Yi with a smile: "You can follow the battle in Hanzhong again."

When Liu Yi heard this, he groped his chin and nodded, "But this siege is not small, Chengdu has to set up camps on all sides, and each camp must have at least 30,000 people, which is not too difficult."

At that time, Liu Yi had only five hundred soldiers and horses, but he made thousands of troops. Zhang Lu was so scared that he did not dare to act rashly. Now that Liu Bei had 60,000 soldiers available, it was really not difficult to double the momentum to make a 120,000 army.

Zhang Lu: "???"

What do you say? What happened to the Battle of Hanzhong?

Jian Yong saw Zhang Lu's face was confused and took the risk of bluffing Liu Yi's attempt to save Wei Yan, but Zhang Lu retreated his main force and did not dare to act rashly. Until Liu Bei's main force arrived, Liu Bei's real strength was not as good as Nan Zheng, but he forced Zhang Lu to make a forced submission in the end.

After listening to the whole process, Zhang Lu felt a little heartbroken. After a long time, he looked at Liu Yi with a wry smile and said, "Sir, I was so hard to cheat at the beginning!"

Liu Yi clasped his fists at Zhang Lu awkwardly and said, "You and I were hostile at the beginning. This soldier was not tired of deceit. Yi had no choice but to do it. I hope the master will forgive me!"

Zhang Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I think now that I don't have a gentleman. With the ability of my lord, Lu is not the enemy of my lord. I still have to thank him. If it weren't for this clever plan, I don't know how many innocent souls would be added to Hanzhong. This is the crime of Lu."

Liu Yi did not continue this topic. No matter how generous Zhang Lu was, could he really say that he regretted it in front of Liu Bei?

After thinking about it, Liu Yi looked at Liu Bei and said, "Shu people have been outstanding since ancient times, Cheng. The civil and military officials are not so easy to deceive them. It is not easy to make all preparations first. In addition, Zhang Ren left the city today, must have wanted to cut off the food route of our army. This must be prevented. Yi thought that he could add some more troops to General Yang Ren to monitor Cheng. The movements of the city should not be allowed to break through our army."

In four camps of 30,000 people, half of the people have to be used to make up the numbers. This project is not a small one. Cheng. None is a restaurant concentration camp. On the contrary, Cheng. Du is gathering many capable people at this moment. It is not easy to deceive these people's eyes. You must make careful plans and be careful during implementation. Liu Yi is planning to discuss with Pang Tong tomorrow. As for Liu Bei's army, there is no need to rush to Chengdu.

"What Bo Yuan said is right." Liu Bei nodded deeply in agreement. The more this happens, the less careless he will be.
