Hearing Chen Dao's words, Liu Bei was startled and almost jumped up from the bed.
If the city gate is opened directly, then this battle will be a fart!
"What happened in the end?"
"Fortunately, the defenders at the top of the city discovered it in time and arrested them all!"
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily,
"Everyone involved will be punished for treason and beheaded!"
"Here!"
Chen Dao took the order and left.
It's just that the bad influence caused by Cao Wei's distribution of leaflets is not limited to this.
Although many people in the world are illiterate, Chengdu is the capital of the Shu Han Dynasty after all, and there are still many people who can read and write.
In addition, Huang Quan and others were imprisoned, and the local gentry in Yizhou harbored a grudge and secretly fanned the flames.
In just one day, all the soldiers and civilians in the city already knew that Cao Wei's army came here just to attack Liu Bei.
Others, etc., will never be implicated as long as they are not involved.
Although most people are ignorant, they are not fools either.
Seeing that Cao Wei's soldiers and horses have blocked the city, it is not clear who will win and who will lose?
Most importantly, they don't care who rules them.
What they care more about is who treats them well!
Under Liu Bei's rule, the people of Yizhou lived in poverty, with a bucket of grain costing half a million yuan!
While Cao Wei guaranteed that Qiu would commit no crimes, he also exempted him from taxes for three years!
Under such a situation, most of the people already turned their hearts to Cao Wei outside the city.
In order to repair and strengthen the city wall, the Shu Han court sent people to recruit civilians.
But the people were afraid. After Cao Wei captured Chengdu, he liquidated them and rejected them one after another!
This caused great headache and irritation to the government officials, who had to resort to tough measures to recruit people everywhere.
In addition, what troubles Liu Bei the most is that there are many deserters even in the army!
The Shu Han court was forced to enforce strict military orders in the city and the army!
As a result, the conflict between the Shu Han court and the army and people of Yizhou was intensified.
…
Cao Wei's military camp outside the city.
"Haha, Liu Bei should be like an ant on a hot pot now, right?"
Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh.
Although the city gates of Chengdu were all closed, Yang Ling had quietly sent spies from the School Affairs Office to Yizhou as early as when Yang Ling decided to attack Hanzhong.
After such a long period of development, despite the current situation, these detailed works cannot open the city gate.
But delivering some news is easy.
"There is a saying in the art of war. It's time to attack with troops. His Highness the King of Qi's attack on the heart is quite powerful. I think it won't take long for the city of Chengdu to be destroyed without attack."
Pang Tong also smiled and praised.
No one expected that Yang Ling could think of a way to send out leaflets to carry out mind-attack tactics.
"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning!"
Yang Ling waved his hand and said with a reserved smile.
Such mind-attacking tactics are tried and true.
I don’t know how many times it was used in later wars.
Seeing that before our own side could attack the city, the Shu Han in the city were already in chaos, and Cao Wei's generals were not in a hurry to ask for a fight.
While everyone was chatting, Guanqiu Jian walked in quickly and saluted Yang Ling.
"I have met King Qi! The spies just came to report that a large number of Nanman troops were found in the south, at least thirty or forty thousand people!"
Everyone was slightly startled.
A large number of Nanman troops?
Judging from this, it must be the soldiers and horses mobilized by Meng Huo.
"This Nanman Meng Huo is really filial to Liu Bei."
Gan Ning snorted coldly,
"It's only been a few days, but so many people have been mobilized."
"Xingba's words are wrong! It's not that Meng Huo is filial to Liu Bei, but that he is too resentful of His Highness the King of Qi."
Zhao Yun on the side said with suppressed laughter.
It has long been known to everyone that Mrs. Zhu Rong, the concubine of the Southern Barbarian King Meng Huo, fell into the hands of Yang Ling many times.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Yun said this, everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, stop joking."
Yang Ling said seriously with a straight face,
"The barbarians are coming fiercely. We should send people to resist them. Which of you is willing to go?"
"I!"
"I'll go!"
"Let me go!"
After hearing this, all the generals rushed to fight.
Just as Yang Ling was thinking about who should be sent to fight Meng Huo, he saw Zhao Yun stand up and said in a deep voice,
"His Royal Highness, King Qi, I am finally willing to go!"
Ever since Yang Ling became famous, as his sworn brother, Yang Ling rarely went to the front in person.
Except for a few duels with Zhang Ren, more often than not, he usually led his troops to protect Yang Ling's surroundings.
This time he took the initiative to ask for a fight, which surprised Yang Ling.
"Since Zilong intends to fight against the Nanman people, how can Gu refuse?"
Yang Ling smiled and nodded,
"Then it's up to you to take part in this battle!"
Zhao Yun has followed Yang Ling for a long time, and his reputation is not lower than that of Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao and others.
Therefore, when he opens his mouth like this, it is difficult for others to compete with him.
…
Thirty miles southwest of Chengdu.
Meng Huo is leading the mighty Nanman people and is marching towards Chengdu.
After getting Liu Bei's order, he returned to the gathering place of the Nanman people and gathered all the Nanman people who could fight.
Including Marshal Sandong, there are nearly 50,000 barbarians in total!
In addition, Meng Huo also sent people to contact King Duosi, the master of Tulong Cave, King Mulu, the master of Bana Cave, and Wu Tugu of Ugo Kingdom.
They have expressed their willingness to respond, and are arranging their troops and horses, and will be able to come to support soon.
Under such circumstances, I don't believe that I can defeat Yang Ling, you bastard!
Meng Huo looked in the direction of Chengdu with a rather resentful expression!
As Zhao Yun said, Meng Huo worked so hard not just to help Liu Bei break the siege of Chengdu.
More importantly, he must take revenge on Yang Ling!
As the leader of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Huo was proud by nature and always dominated the southern area of Yizhou.
But he didn't want to meet Yang Ling, lose one after another, and lose all the women!
How could he endure this?
"Send the order and ask the army to speed up and get to Chengdu as soon as possible!"
Meng Huo ordered to Meng You.
"Here!"
Meng You responded, and just as he was about to give orders to the army, he saw a barbarian soldier rushing back from the front.
"Greetings to the Barbarian King! A group of Wei troops suddenly appeared in front of us, blocking our way!"
Meng Huo felt anxious and hurriedly rode his curly red rabbit horse to the front of the military formation.
I saw a group of Cao Wei soldiers and horses arrayed in front, cutting off the Nanman people's road to Chengdu.
Zhao Yunduan sat on his horse and stood in front of the Wei army.
Although he is old, he is still majestic and his momentum has not diminished at all.
Meng Huo had a sudden thought and asked around,
"Who dares to step forward to fight?"
"The general will go where he wishes!"
The one who spoke was Nanman General Fan Ya Chang.
"Very good. If you win, I will give you a huge reward!"
When fighting Cao Wei before, Busy Ya Chang forced Cao Zhen back.
Although there is a suspicion that Cao Zhen lured the enemy deeper, it can also be seen that Fanya Chang is somewhat brave.
"The general will come as soon as he goes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Busy Tooth came out of the horse, came to the front of the two armies, and said loudly,
"Old man, why don't you get off your horse and die?"
