Chengdu city.椤
It has been half a month since the Chu army entered the hinterland of the Shu Kingdom. Now the entire northern border is controlled by the Yulin army, and no matter how hard they attack, it will be of no avail.
People throughout Chengdu are panicked.
"I heard that the people who were killed over there in Mianzhu were in flames and blood flowed into rivers. The piles of falling heads were as high as mountains! The crows nearby were so fat that they couldn't even fly!"
The wine shop was full of people and very noisy. The merchants and drinkers coming and going were all talking about the recent war.
"No! One hundred thousand Qin troops died and surrendered overnight. I heard that the devil Wei Yan was sitting on the mountain of corpses drinking. The Qin general Fan Chou was originally going to surrender, but he met Wei Yan I was scared to death."
At this time, some curious people asked.
"How could you be scared to death? Is that Wei Yanchang too ugly?"
The old man who spoke earlier laughed twice, and when he saw everyone looking at him curiously, he said rather mysteriously.
"I don't know if he is ugly or not, but people who have seen him say that Wei Yan's face is as pale as paper, like a ghost. As long as he puts on the armor, the armor will start bleeding out soon!"
Many ordinary people who were superstitious about gods and ghosts couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this. From now on, in the Shu region, just saying the name "Wei Yan" can make children stop crying. I don't know if it started here.
"No wonder General Zhang Ren is so powerful, but he still can't stop the Chu army. It turns out that the Chu army is full of such ghosts and gods."
Everyone was frightened and even spoke with some trepidation.
Seeing that everyone was frightened, the old man continued proudly.
"Although Wei Yan is fierce, he is not the most powerful! Alas, I feel thirsty after talking too much. Forget it, let's talk about it next time."
"No, daddy, I have good wine here, the best wine in the store's cellar!"
The young man at the table next to him became excited and quickly picked up the good wine he ordered and filled it with the old man.
The old man took a sip, was quite satisfied, and whispered to everyone.
"Since we are destined, I will tell you this time. I won't tell other people."
Everyone said yes and pricked up their ears.
"You all should know something about the Jade Seal. Legend has it that the Jade Seal is a treasure that suppresses the luck of the dynasty. It has eight characters engraved on it: "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever." Ever since the First Emperor ordered it to be carved, it has been favored by destiny. There is chaos energy lingering on it every moment, and those who are not destined to have great destiny cannot control it! "
"Before, a Confucian powerful man passed by Jianye and saw the purple air lingering in the sky above Jianye. He realized that the jade seal lost by the Han Emperor fell into the hands of Sun Ce. Do you know what purple air is? Purple air is the emperor's air, but Suppress ghosts and gods!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder the princes are fighting for the jade seal!"
The old man took another sip of wine and smiled.
"That's not even the most powerful thing."
"The most powerful one is the divine sword Zhanlu! Legend has it that Zhanlu was made by the famous craftsman Ou Yezi from the essence of hardware and the essence of the sun. When the sword was completed, light penetrated the sky, the sun and the moon competed for their glory, the stars shone away from the color, and the ghosts and gods wailed. At that time, This sword was acquired by King Gou Jian of Yue and later presented to King Wu Fu Chai. Unfortunately, Fu Chai was immoral, so Zhan Lu flew away on his own. The divine sword has a spirit and will choose its own master. It cannot be controlled by a king who is not benevolent. Once this sword is drawn, it can be Kill immortals and ghosts."
"It is precisely because of these two divine objects that Sun Ce was able to drive Wei Yan and other fierce gods!"
Everyone exclaimed.椤
"That's it! That's it!"
"You know Gan Ning who caused chaos in Shu many years ago, right? He was originally transformed into a dragon practicing in Jiangzhong. After joining Sun Ce, he was given purple energy by Sun Ce, and then he shed his body and transformed into a real dragon. Last year in Xuzhou , it was precisely because Gan Ning used the art of calling for wind and rain that he defeated Liu Bei's elite White-Er soldiers and finally reached the gates of Xiapi City."
"Let's talk about Huang Zhong. Everyone knows that those who can use the three-stone bow are already good generals in the army. Even Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, can only use a seven-stone bow, but Huang Zhong can actually shoot a nine-stone bow! Rumor has it that Huang Zhong is It is the reincarnation of Hou Yi who shot down the nine-wheeled sun in ancient times!"
Everyone screamed in surprise, only the old man
Keep talking.

Shu palace.
Today, the sound of drums and harps no longer comes from the jade terrace of Qionglou. The musicians are prostrate on the ground and the palace people are trembling with fear.椤
"After the Battle of Mianzhu, the Chu general Lu Xun stationed more than 10,000 troops in Guanghan City and trained his troops day and night. The Chu general Huo Yi led thousands of troops and defeated the more than 1,000 county troops that General Deng Xian had just gathered. Now Bajun, Brazil, Ba The eastern and other areas fell under the control of the Chu army; Wei Yan, the general of the Yulin Army, led his troops to pursue Zhang Ji and pursued him to the gates of Zitong City. The rebel general Meng Da opened the city and surrendered, and all the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city had surrendered to Wei Yan's tent."
The eunuch beside Liu Zhang finished reading the latest battle report in a frightened voice, and retreated tremblingly behind Liu Zhang.
It was quiet under the court, and the minister lowered his proud head, not daring to make a sound for fear of arousing Liu Zhang's anger.
"When the Chu army and the Qin army finish fighting, can we just reap the benefits?"
"ah?"
"Wait, wait, wait, it's like this! Now Wei Yan has an army of 40,000!"
"Forty thousand troops!"
"How to fight now? Just talk!"
Liu Zhang shouted hysterically and threw the battle report on the table.
Battle reports were scattered in the lobby, and the ministers lowered their heads.
No one dared to refute that the previous responses were ultimately finalized by Liu Zhang.
Li Ping was not allowed to mobilize all his troops from Chengdu to garrison Guanghan to deal with the situation. Later, Liu Suan's frontier army was defeated. What could the remaining troops do except wait for the Chu and Qin armies to consume each other and bide their time?
