Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 460 Changes in Southern Sichuan
Han Hao and Liu Yan were sent away, and Yan Yan and Lei Tong were left to stay in Yuzhou.

Yuan Tan directly led five thousand young soldiers and stationed them in Shouchun City.

Shouchun went through a big battle last year. Although it was repaired, the city wall is still a bit low. However, Yuan Tan didn't plan to defend Shouchun at first, but planned to use Shouchun as a springboard to march. Cao Cao stayed outside Sili the last barrier.

It is also Cao Cao's last nail in Yuzhou, Runan City.

Wei Yan, who had just stationed troops in Shouchun City and had not had a good rest yet, had already received Yuan Tan's transfer order, had already arrived in Shouchun with [-] government soldiers urgently dispatched from Xuzhou.

"General Wenpin, it's been a long time! I don't want to be able to work under the lord's tent today, what a great joy!"

Seeing Wenpin following Yuan Tan, Wei Yan's face suddenly showed joy.

Although Wei Yan himself is extremely proud, after being educated by Yuan Tan, his original arrogant personality has restrained a lot.

And Wenpin was not only Wei Yan's previous superior, but also Wei Yan's savior to a certain extent, so Wei Yan still respects Wenpin a lot.

As soon as they met, they bowed to Wenpin.

Wenpin hurriedly stepped forward to support Wei Yan. The status between the two is not like that of Jingzhou now. He is much better than Wei Yan, who is currently only Fengyi Zhonglang general.

But when he helped Wei Yan to get up, Wenpin felt the weight of Wei Yan's arms. Now this ceremony, Wei Yan is quite sincere, and he felt warm again.

With Wei Yan under Yuan Tan's command, at least he would not be said to be alone and helpless, the situation is much better.

After all, Wenpin is not a carefree guy like Wei Yan, he has too many worries, especially when he was once under Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's Jingzhou aristocratic family is extremely powerful, and can even influence many policy preferences of Liu Biao, the Jingzhou shepherd.

Wenpin is not only the general of Jingzhou, but also the patriarch of the Jingzhou Wen family. He has done many intrigues, and he has done a lot.

Although Yuan Tan has repeatedly stated that Wenpin does not have to worry about the scandalous things like Liu Biao's happening in Xuzhou's army.

But Wenpin still had a lot of worries in his heart. After seeing Wei Yan at this moment, he felt a little more relaxed.

After meeting Wei Yan, Wen Pin and Wei Yan saluted Yuan Tan. Before Wei Yan came, the warrant Yuan Tan sent to Xuzhou had already explained Wei Yan's mission.

In the next time, he will lead [-] soldiers under his command together with Wenpin, as the support of Yuan Tan's department. After marching into Runan, he will be responsible for staying in the conquered counties.

Prevent the counterattack of Cao Cao's army.

Both Wei Yan and Wen Pin were very excited about Yuan Tan's decision.

After all, the two of them have not done anything since they defected to Yuan Tan's command, and now they can finally get the chance to fight.

Where is there no reason to be excited?

What's more, Yuan Tan's troops and horses all knew that there were only [-] Futu iron guards. If this army wanted to conquer Runan, they would definitely need [-] government soldiers under their command to join the battle.

At that moment, Wei Yan and Wenpin looked at each other, and both could see the excitement in the other's heart.

Compared with these two, Xu Shu and Deng Ai were much calmer.

Especially Deng Ai, who was thinking hard with his head down at the moment, as if he was struggling with some problem.

Seeing his disciple's appearance, Yuan Tan smiled and said: "Shi Zai, is there something you don't understand? Or do you have any plans for the next war?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Deng Ai quickly raised his head, shook his head with a little shame, and after struggling for a while, he told the truth honestly: "The disciple is not worried about the next battle, the teacher's arrangements are already perfect, The disciple has nothing to suggest, but is just wondering why the teacher released Li Yan so easily before."

Hearing Deng Ai's words, Wenpin and Wei Yan also turned their attention to Yuan Tan.

Obviously, this doubt is not only in Deng Ai's mind, but also in the minds of these two people.

Hearing Deng Ai's words, Yuan Tan couldn't help but smile slightly.

The matter still has to start three days ago. Three days ago, when Yuan Tan led the troops of the headquarters to Shouchun, Xun Yu, who stayed behind in Xuzhou, also compiled some important information that happened in the world during this period into documents and sent them to the in his hands.

To talk about the biggest change in the world in October, apart from the disastrous defeat of the combined army of the princes at the city of Qiaojun in Yuzhou.

Let's talk about the fierce battle between Li Yan and Liu Bei in the south of Yizhou.

Since October [-]th, Li Yan led an army of [-] troops from Jiangzhou back to Yizhou and successfully conquered Bajun. Zhang Yi will be stationed in Jiangyou so as not to lose his foothold.

The entire Yizhou is caught in the quagmire of war.

Liu Zhang, who finally reacted, was horrified to find that Yizhou's natural dangers, which he thought he could sit back and relax, followed Liu Bei's successful capture of Jiangyou.

There is only one Mianzhu pass left that can be used as a barrier.

In a panic, Liu Zhang quickly dispatched Zhang Ren, the No. 1 general in Sichuan and Shu, to lead [-] Yizhou elites to Mianzhu Pass to prevent Liu Bei from taking this opportunity to go north.

But correspondingly, on the other side, Li Yan, who stayed in Bajun, was ignored by Liu Zhang intentionally or unintentionally.

Or Liu Zhang actually wanted to rescue Li Yan, but the only link between Li Yan's Berkshire and Liu Zhang's Chengdu was Jiangyou County.

But at this moment, Jiangyou County has been captured by Liu Bei, so it is naturally impossible to allow Liu Zhang's envoy to pass through safely, so that Li Yan and Liu Zhang can communicate with each other.

Under such a background, even if Liu Zhang wanted to rescue him, he could not make a single step.

But having said that, if Liu Zhang can adopt a more aggressive and proactive strategic layout, let Zhang Ren, who is guarding Mianzhu Pass, send troops to attack Jiangyou County.

After Li Yan, who captured Berkshire over there and was marching into Jiangyou, heard the news, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to attack back and forth.

At that time, the two sides will work together, even if they can't take back Jiangyou in one fell swoop, Liu Bei's army will be flattened in Yizhou.

At the very least, it is not enough to allow Liu Beijun to gain a firm foothold in Jiangyou County and slowly erode Liu Zhang's influence in southern Yizhou.

However, Liu Zhang didn't know that his natural cowardly character had the upper hand at this moment.

It still appeared suddenly, like a magic soldier descending from heaven, and captured Jiangyou County. Liu Bei, who appeared beside his couch, frightened Liu Zhang out of his wits.

In short, after ordering Zhang Ren to lead the army into Mianzhu, Liu Zhang directly issued three warrants, but none of them required Zhang Ren to actively organize an attack and join Li Yan to attack Liu Bei.
