Chapter 796 (2/2)

Jiameng pass.

”What? Jiangzhou city was lost, and general Yan surrendered? ”

Zhang Ren looked at the information in front of him, with a look of disbelief, while Deng Xian and lengbao beside him looked at each other in disbelief.

Jiangzhou city is an important town in Bashu, and general Yan is a famous general in Sichuan. How can this be possible?

”Is this news true?” Zhang Ren still couldn't believe it, so he wanted to make further confirmation.

”It was our soldiers who escaped from the city of Jiangzhou. If the governor of Dadu didn't believe it, he could ask him to inquire.”

Zhang Renyu then called the man to inquire, and then he was covered with frost. Deng Xian and lengbao and Zhang Ren have been getting along for a long time. Seeing his look, I don't know what's going on.

”Governor of Dadu, is Jiangzhou city really lost?”

Zhang Ren nodded slowly: ”most of the time.”

”Alas...”

Zhang Ren's face was grim. Before his plan was very clear, that is to stick to Jiameng pass and defeat the spirit of Liangzhou army. The Liangzhou army came from a long way. It was not easy to transport grain and grass from the plank road, and the loss rate was quite high. The Liangzhou army entered Yizhou to fight. It can be said that as long as the Liangzhou army can persist for more than one year, the Liangzhou army will naturally retreat without fighting.

But there is a premise, that is, we must keep the main road of Liangzhou army entering Sichuan. Jiamengguan and Jiangzhou city belong to the same front. As long as two troops are sent to defend Jiameng pass and Jiangzhou city respectively, Yizhou will be as strong as gold.

However, the loss of Jiangzhou city means that the Liangzhou army outside Jiangzhou city can take advantage of the situation to attack the back of Jiameng pass. Jiameng pass will be attacked by Liangzhou army before and after, and can not retreat if they want to. Moreover, Zhang Ren's main force will be trapped in Jiameng pass, as if trapped in a quagmire.

After thinking about it, Zhang Ren finally made up his mind: ”order the whole army to withdraw from Jiameng pass tonight. However, we should tie grass men and torches on the top of the city, so as not to let Liu Ye see that our army is retreating.”

”Dadu, do we really want to retreat?”Deng Xian said in a hurry: ”this Jiameng pass is an important town in Yizhou. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can we hand over to Liu Ye like this?”

”This is also the governor's helpless move.”

Zhang Ren explained: ”Jiangzhou city has now fallen. Liangzhou army can go north at any time and directly attack our army's back. Sooner or later, Jiameng pass will fall into the hands of the enemy. It's better to break a strong man's hand!”

Zhang Ren walked to the side of the map, staring at him: ”after our army led the army to withdraw from Jiameng pass, we quickly retreated all the way south to Jiange to strengthen the city defense. We must keep the enemy's front out of the sword Pavilion, and ask the Lord to send more troops to the sword Pavilion.”

Seeing Zhang Ren's decision, Deng Xian and Leng Bao have no choice but to promise, and then they go down to prepare.

That night, the Yizhou army quietly opened the South Gate of Jiameng pass and quietly withdrew. However, the Liangzhou army did not find out. Until the next day, they saw that all the Yizhou soldiers on the top of the city had turned into grass men. After asking Liu Ye, they directly killed them in Jiameng pass. As expected, there was no one to stop them along the way, and they quickly occupied Jiameng pass Off.

”Wenhe, when did Zhang Ren withdraw from Jiameng pass?”

Liu Ye and Jia Xu are walking on the top of jiamengguan city. He says to Jia Xu.

”It should have been last night.”

”Why did Zhang Ren withdraw suddenly Liu Ye asked with a smile.

Jia Xu thought a little, and then replied, ”it should be that there is a breakthrough in the north of Ma Town and the south of Zhang Zhen town. Jiangzhou city was captured. Zhang Ren was afraid that our army would attack each other before and after, so he led the army to retreat.”

As soon as the words fell, a soldier rushed up to him, shouting: ”great general, great victory! The northern part of Ma Town and the south part of Zhang town have broken through Jiangzhou city and tens of thousands of enemies have been defeated! ”

Liu Ye and Jia Xu look at each other with a smile, and say: ”Jia Wenhe is really hopeless.”
