Chapter 394 The sudden rise

In Mianzhu City, after letting people help Huang Quan down to rest, Liu Zhang looked at the people on the hall with a gloomy look and said nothing for a long time. Today, it seems that everything is in Liu Qi's calculation. Whether it is Huang Quan or Li Yan, or himself and Zheng Du are led by Liu Qi.

Almost every sentence makes Liu Qi find an excuse to divide everyone's will. Although it has not been shown at this time, Liu Zhang has indeed felt that everyone's thoughts are different in the hall.

"Lord, although Liu Qi tells the whereabouts of General Zhang and General Yan, he may not know the whereabouts of General Yan and General Yan in advance that the whereabouts of General Yan are extremely hidden. Even we are not particularly clear. Liu Qi's words are just the heart of the lord. And Liu Qi is so eager to fight against the lord, isn't he worried about the safety of Jingzhou?

Seeing everyone's silence, Zheng Du came forward and bowed to Liu Zhang.

"Hmm?" Liu Zhang's heart was moved. Liu Qi hurriedly gathered a large army to come to Mianzhu to fight against him. He was not necessarily worried about the safety of Jingzhou as Zheng Du said.

Hearing this, not only Liu Zhang's face was slightly relieved, but also the people on the hall were slightly relieved. Although Liu Qi was so coercive, Yizhou did not have the power to fight back. If Zhang Ren and Yan really succeeded, what they were worried about was superfluous.

Just as everyone was worried, a scout came in quickly and saluted everyone, "Lord, Zhao Yun, the general of Jingzhou, led 10,000 troops to leave the camp."

"Oh? Do you know where Zhao Yun has gone?

Liu Zhang and Zheng Du and Li Yan looked at their eyesight, and their faces were a little solemn. At this time, although the Yizhou army had a lot of soldiers and horses, they were at a disadvantage. It was the best strategy to stick to it, but it also led to the end of being helpless about the movements of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses, which was very clear to several people.

"I think I want to go to the south." The scout is a little uncertain.

"South?" Liu Zhang, Li Yan and Zheng Du all changed their faces.

The south means the hinterland of Yizhou. The intention of Jingzhou is self-evident. Most of the soldiers and horses in Yizhou are gathered here, but the interior of Yizhou is extremely empty. Although Zhao Yun only leads 10,000 soldiers and horses, it is enough to dominate Yizhou.

"Lord, don't you want the last general to lead the soldiers to intercept?" Li Yan frowned and looked at Liu Zhang. Although the morale of the army did not fall at this time, if something happened in Yizhou, it would be a big blow to Yizhou.

"No, now General Huang is seriously injured. If there is no Zheng Fang to guard here, how to deal with that Gan Ning?" Zheng Du immediately shook his head.

Liu Zhang nodded and looked up at Lei Tong. Now, in addition to Li Yan and Huang Quan, only Lei Tong is a general. Although it is not as good as Zhao Yun, he has to use it.

"Lord, I would like to go." Lei Tong immediately stood up and said to Liu Zhang. At this time, he had seen that Zheng Du and Li Yan had the final say in Mianzhu City. There was no benefit for him and Li Yan to stay here. It was better to lead the army to protect himself outside.

Liu Zhang looked at Lei Tong with some hesitation, and then turned his head to Zheng Du. Seeing Liu Zhang looking at Zheng Du, he arched his hand and said, "Master, this matter belongs to General Lei, but it is a little far-fetched that General Lei wants to intercept Zhao Yun alone. General Meng Da guards Chengdu and can just echo General Lei to intercept. This is Zhao Yun."

"Well, in this case, I order you to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to intercept Zhao Yun." Liu Zhang gave the order to Lei Tong.

"No." Lei Tong bowed and left the hall quickly, obviously to prepare for the departure of the army.

Waving his hand to signal the people on the hall to disperse. Liu Zhang looked at Zheng Du and said very seriously, "Mr. Yi, how much chance of winning in Yizhou now?"

Looking at Liu Zhang's serious expression, Zheng Du smiled bitterly in his heart. He clearly remembered that when the situation in Yizhou was good a few days ago, Liu Zhang called his name directly. Today, Lizhou is in danger again, and Liu Zhang's attitude changed accordingly. Although he didn't care much in his heart, he was not the same as before. Take it seriously.

Shaking his head and shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Zheng Du looked up at Liu Zhang and said, "Now the victory or defeat between Yizhou and Jingzhou is fifty-five. If one of General Yan and General Zhang can succeed, it will be more than 70%."

With a strange light in Zheng Du's eyes, he didn't say that once General Zhang and General Yan failed, the whole Yizhou could be regarded as a failure.

"So I'm relieved." Liu Zhang's eyes flashed, and the solemn color on his face was easily replaced. The chances of winning the May Five-Year Plan are really a lot for Yizhou now, and he is extremely confident in Yan Yan and Zhang Ren.

The two men attacked Jingzhou unpreparedly. If there is no accident, they should succeed. After all, the strength of Zhang Ren and Yan Yan is rare in Jingzhou.

Just as the two were about to leave, Li Yan, who had just left, suddenly walked in quickly, with a look of surprise and even a little panic on his face, which made both of them sink in their hearts. Seeing that Li Yan's expression was so clear that something bad had happened.

"Lord, General Yan returned to Jingzhou." Li Yan quickly came to Liu Zhang and whispered.

Liu Zhang intuitively felt that there was an explosion in his mind, and the news brought by Li Yan was like a bolt from the blue, which suddenly made Liu Zhang's heart tremble.

Yan Yan, who had high expectations just now, turned to Jingzhou in a blink of an eye. How can this be accepted by him? Even if Yan Yan sneaks up on Jingzhou, won't she return to Yizhou? Why did she surrender to Jingzhou?

Zheng Du, who was beside him, had a sudden look on his face. Sure enough, no wonder Li Yan looked like this. Yan Yan's surrender to Jingzhou can be regarded as a bolt from the blue for Yizhou. It can be imagined that after the news spreads, what would those who have been shaken by Liu Qi's words think?

This news can even completely disintegrate the resistance of these people and make the power of the whole Yizhou collapse.

The news of Yan Yan's surrender kept echoing in Liu Zhang's mind like a magic barrier, making Liu Zhang suddenly crumbling.

"Lord." Li Yan and Zheng Du hurried forward and were picked up by Liu Zhang and asked Liu Zhang to sit down.

"Wow!" Liu Zhang, who sat down, exhaled deeply. His face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were even more cold: "What's going on?"

Under the anger in his heart, Liu Zhang looked at Li Yan with red eyes.

"Lord, General Yan's army was chased and killed by the Jingzhou army and lost more than half of the army. Finally, it was surrounded by the Jingzhou army. General Yan had no choice but to return to Jingzhou." Li Yan said helplessly.

"Do you have to?" Liu Zhang's voice was extremely cold, which shocked both Li Yan and Zheng Du.

Seeing that Liu Zhang sighed so solemnly, Liu Zhang placed high hopes on Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, and even never doubted that the two would not succeed, but now the contrast is so great that he can't accept it at once.

"Hmm, Yan Yan's unification of soldiers led to the defeat of the army, and the crime of collusion with Jingzhou is unforgivable. The three clans are used as an example, and it should be reported to all counties of Yizhou on the same day."

"Master?" Zheng Du exclaimed and looked at Liu Zhang, but after Liu Zhang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored the two. He could only sigh helplessly.

Yan Yan was forced to surrender to Jingzhou. After the news of Liu Zhang came out, the whole people in Yizhou will probably be disappointed with Liu Zhang. Yan Yan's temperament is correct and everyone in Yizhou. It is not that he will never surrender to Jingzhou at the last minute. Liu Zhang is really hasty to do so.

Zheng Du and Li Yan looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Sooner or later, Liu Zhang would make Yizhou centrifuge and force those wavering people to Jingzhou.

And with this order, the news of Yan Yan's defeat can no longer be covered up, and the whole Yizhou will be shocked by it.

Seeing that Liu Zhang didn't want to say more, Zheng Du and Li Yan both shook their heads and turned around and left the hall.

Not long, the order was quickly transmitted, and the whole Mianzhu City trembled.

Lei Tong, who was about to lead the troops to leave on the school campus, was stunned when he received the news from his subordinates. After a while, he smiled bitterly and his eyes were full of sadness.

He knows very well how Yan Yan is, and Yan Yan has not hesitated to support him since Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne. No one in Yizhou knows Yan Yan's reputation, and he knows more about Yan's loyalty to Yizhou. If the news of Yan Yan's return to Jingzhou spreads, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

However, today, Liu Zhang's order to kill Yan Yan Yan's three clans has made everyone believe that Yan Yan will never return to Jingzhou until the last step is exhausted. Yan Yan's credit for benefiting the state over the years has been directly rejected by Liu Zhang's order, which makes Lei Tong extremely uncomfortable.

Thinking of the end of the Wu family some time ago, Lei Tong shook his head and his heart was full of bitterness. After that, he did not hesitate to lead his 20,000 troops to leave Mianzhu.

Not long after Liu Zhang's order was issued, the news that Yan Yan was forced to surrender to Jingzhou spread all over Mianzhu. At the same time, a series of things before Yan's surrender also spread throughout the Yizhou army. Before Yan Yan's surrender and Liu Zhang's orders to kill the three clans made the soldiers in Mianzhu City feel sad. I mean.

When Zheng Du found the strange thing in this matter, it had spread all over Mianzhu. Even he had just received the news of Yan Yan's return, but not long after Liu Zhang's order was passed, the whole Yizhou army actually knew the process of Yan's return, and the conspiracy was self-evident.

However, at this time, even if Zheng Du wanted to stop it, it was too late. Liu Zhang's order had been passed down, and it would not change no matter what. He knew Liu Zhang's good-faced temper clearly. Even if he realized that he had made a mistake, he would not order the punishment of Yan be revoked.

Looking at the army with increasingly low morale, Zheng Du can only shake his head and sigh. What he can do has been done, and the rest depends on God's will. Nevertheless, Zheng Du has completely lost hope for Yizhou.
