Shen Yi and Meng Da may have never dreamed that after fighting with each other for so many years, they would eventually become a snipe and a clam in the eyes of others.
Similarly, even Meng Da, who betrayed Liu Bei to the Cao family, could not have imagined that at this time, Liu Bei would still be able to fight back and dare to plot against them...
Just as Zhuge Liang guessed, at this time everyone in the world was focusing on Cao Pi and Sun Quan.
The fire in Yiling burned away the last traces of the Han Dynasty. Even though Liu Bei was still alive, he was still working hard to save his Han Dynasty.
But now the situation is very clear. It can be said that he has almost completely lost the possibility of fighting for the world. Whether he can keep such a corner in the future depends on the final outcome of Cao Pi and Sun Quan.
Who would have thought that at this time, Zhuge Liang would dare to go against the will of heaven and seize Shangyong with such great generosity...
When Wei Yan appeared in front of them, Shen Yi and Meng Da were filled with panic, and Deng Xian also understood that he had fallen into the trap in the end.
What Yi Ji came to visit Mengda, what Jiangdong dead men were captured by Shen Yi, and even the envoy from Weixing County... all of this was just Liu Bei's plan.
It was Liu Bei's plan from the beginning, but it's a pity...he knew it too late!
"Pfft~"
After a muffled sound, Wei Yan's sharp long knife directly cut Deng Xian's throat, blood spurted out, and took away his life and all his dreams.
Shen Yi also saw Wei Yan charging towards him at this time. He had already used all his strength in the previous battle, and there was no defense at all in the rear, allowing Wei Yan's troops to rush in front of him easily.
At this moment, Shen Yi may have understood his position in the hearts of the Han army, so he did not choose to surrender. Instead, he rushed over directly and wanted to fight to the death.
But the fight at this time was more like a joke, which was shattered by Wei Yan so easily.
Until the moment when Shen Yi was beheaded, Wei Yan didn't look at him again, as if he was afraid of staining his own eyes.
And Meng Da... looked at the besieged Han soldiers and horses, and finally slowly put down the weapon in his hand and slowly spoke to Wei Yan.
"General Wei Yan, a certain family has agreed to Yi Ji's advice..."
"Fire the arrow!"
Before Meng Da could finish his words, Wei Yan had already ordered the crossbowmen around him to shoot deadly arrows at him.
A hail of arrows fell, and Meng Da, who was once so glorious, was shot through the chest with shock on his face.
He died on this battlefield with a face full of disbelief...
"Meng Da was killed by Shen Yi. All the soldiers followed me to avenge General Meng!"
Wei Yan killed Meng Da because he was dissatisfied with his conduct, but he also found a suitable reason for himself and placed all the blame on the dead man Shen Yi.
Then the final fight began.
But half an hour later, Shangyong City completely fell, and all the remaining soldiers and horses surrendered. Meng Da, Shen Yi and others' trusted generals, except for Meng Da's deputy general Li Fu, were all killed.
After calming down Shangyong, Wei Yan breathed his last sigh of relief. He knew that this battle could be over here.
"All officers and men will rest for half a day and guard the city. Do not harass the people. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"Yan Yu, go and arrange the surrendering troops, don't let them create turmoil!"
"Call that Li Fu, I have something to give you..."
At this time, Wei Yan had people put up notices to appease the people, and at the same time, he also continued to order the mess on the Shangyong battlefield to be cleaned up.
At the same time, he also asked Li Fu, the general who had been demoted, to come and tell him about the situation of general Li Fu who was superior.
As Meng Da's lieutenant, Li Fu naturally knew the situation of the three Shangyong counties very well. At this time, Shangyong was leaderless, there were no reinforcements around, and the news had not yet spread.
This is an excellent opportunity for Wei Yan.
After confirming the mediocre distribution of troops, he immediately ordered the army to move out again after half a day's rest.
Wei Yan personally took up residence in Yongcheng, and at the same time asked someone to bring Shen Yi's head to Ma Dai, so that Ma Dai could quickly open the gate of the new city and make an emergency landing of Wei Xingjun's troops.
After that, another deputy general, Gao Xiang, was asked to lead an attack and led Li Fu to surrender many of the Shangyong cities at once.
In this way, when Liu Chan entered Shangyong with all his troops, he found that the road ahead was smooth.
Flags with the Chinese character "Han" were flying in the wind on each city. The Han army that had just captured the city immediately stepped forward and bowed to Liu Chan when they saw him, and respectfully invited him in.
Along the way, Liu Chan had no idea what was going on, especially the many Jingzhou surrendered generals behind him.
But...Liu Chan is Liu Chan after all.
The mentality of taking things as they come, coupled with Liu Chan's trust in Zhuge Kongming, made him have no worries about the current war.
But just like this, it was different in the eyes of those Jingzhou soldiers.
"His Highness is indeed His Highness. Judging from His Highness's appearance, he has everything under control..."
"What did a certain family say before? How could His Highness go deep into the land of tigers and wolves without complete preparations?"
"Well... now it seems that capturing Shangyong is also His Highness's plan. If we can capture Shangyong, then we can directly send troops to Wancheng from Shangyong.
At that time, he would directly steal Cao Pi's retreat.
At that time, what will happen even if Jiangling City is taken away by Cao Pi?
They had no food, no reinforcements, and there was a plague raging in the area, delaying them for ten days and a half. No one in this group could survive! "
Whispering voices came from behind Liu Chan, making Liu Chan unable to help opening his mouth several times.
But after listening to their words and looking at their faces, he finally coughed lightly and slowly raised his chin.
"Everyone, the war is not over yet, so you must not take it lightly!"
Just such a sentence directly put all the credit on himself, and also made the eyes of everyone behind him shine.
At this time, they completely believed in Liu Chan's abilities, and felt that this was the real hero of the Han Dynasty...
And Liu Chan doesn't want to take the credit, mainly...
"My father-in-law asked me to do so!
Although I don’t know why I let Gu do this, but... Xiangfu asked me to do it, so it must be right! "
With this idea, Liu Chan did not even join Wei Yan, but directly led the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered. After Shangyong replenished the food and supplies, he went directly to Nanyang County from another direction...
