At The Beginning of The Game, The Five Tiger Generals Were Intercepted

One month later, the land of Yizhou was warm and flowers were blooming. Tens of thousands of troops swore an oath in Mianzhu, and Liu Zhang personally led the expedition to Shu County.

For this expedition to Shu County, Liu Zhang mobilized all the mobile forces under his command.

Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Pan Feng had six battalions of soldiers and horses, totaling 48,000 troops.

Liu Zhang's troops were divided into three groups. Zhao Yun led the Huwei battalion to attack Guangdu, and Huang Zhong and Tai Shici led the Wushe battalion and Wufeng battalion to attack Chengdu.

Liu Zhang personally led Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Pan Feng's three battalions of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers pointed directly at Pi County.

This time the war against Shu County was the largest since Liu Zhang entered Shu, and it was also the time when the most troops were dispatched together. There were nearly 60,000 civilians who were conscripted alone!

Fifty thousand soldiers came out of Luocheng, drums and horns blared, and the momentum was extremely loud!

At the same time, the secret agents of Shu County had already learned about Liu Zhang's swearing-in expedition in advance, and reported to Jia Long in Chengdu first.

Shu County, Pi County.

He Zong, the county magistrate of Pixian County, was receiving the messenger from Chengdu at the county government office.

"At the order of the prefect of Jia, I came here to report to the county magistrate. Liu Zhang claimed that a hundred thousand troops invaded Shu County. At this moment, the main army is divided into three groups, one is going to Guangdu, the other is going to Chengdu, and the other is coming to Pixian County!"

There was only a slight fluctuation on He Zong's face, and he was not shocked by the news.

"After waiting for half a year, it finally came! I don't know what orders Jia Taishou has?"

"Reporting to County Magistrate He, Prefect Jia ordered Pixian County to be strictly guarded and not to fight. Prefect Jia will look for good opportunities to defeat the enemy in Chengdu!"

He Zong nodded, even without Jia Long's order, he would not go out to fight.

If Liu Zhang really dispatched an army of 100,000, there would be at least 20,000 to 30,000 people who came to Pi County. How could He Zong do such a stupid thing as hitting a stone with an egg!

"The county knows, you can go back and report."

After the envoy left, He Zong sat on the main seat and fell into deep thought.

Just as Jia Xu expected, He Zong was not optimistic about Jia Long, the prefect, and even thought that Liu Zhang would unify Yizhou sooner or later.

There are only 5,000 defenders in Pixian County. Even if He Zong fights with all his strength, can he really resist Liu Zhang?

If you raise your troops against Liu Zhang at this time, it will undoubtedly cause unexpected damage to yourself and even the He family.

But Jia Long just promoted him, so is he going to sacrifice the city and surrender?

It is inevitable to be ridiculed for betraying the Lord without reason. He Zong is a self-proclaimed noble man, how can he be reconciled!

"Hey, it's really a dilemma..."

He Zong was full of hesitation, he didn't notice an old man walked into the county office at all.

"My son, why are you so sad?"

After hearing the voice, He Zong got up quickly and went to see his father He Ju.

"Father, General Wei Liu Zhang led troops to invade Shu County, and Jia Long just sent someone to order the boy to defend the city."

"Then what do you think?"

He Zong looked at his father's eyes and knew that he couldn't hide anything from him, so he could only tell the truth.

"Father, General Wei is very resourceful. Since he became an official, there have been dozens of battles, and he has seldom lost! Now he dominates the three counties with strong soldiers and horses, and at the same time, the position of Yizhou Shepherd is also given by His Majesty today. My child is worried that Jia Long will not be able to match Wei, who occupies righteousness. General."

He Ju looked at He Zong meaningfully, and asked again,

"Then what do you think of Jia Long?"

"In recent years, Jia Long has recruited soldiers aggressively in Shu County, causing public resentment. Half a year ago, Zhang Lu's confession of Jia Long's crimes was also circulated in Shu County. Now the various families in Shu County are also quite critical of him."

Speaking of this, He Zong couldn't help chuckling.

"Father, if it weren't for this, the power in Pi County would not have been handed over to our He family..."

Without rights, one cannot develop one's own family, but this right came at an inopportune time.

"Zong'er, Jia Long has no way, and it will be a matter of time before he dies. Our He family can't be buried with Jia Long."

He Zong nodded slightly, He Ju said so, how could he not understand what his father meant.

"Hey, it's just that Jia Long promoted Hai'er just now. If Xiancheng surrenders, it would be ridiculous."

Seeing He Zong's melancholy expression, He Ju frowned and sighed heavily.

"Hey! I'm so confused! That Zhang Lu's murder of the state shepherd is tantamount to treason. Jia Long helped Zhang Lu fight against General Wei, and everyone in the world has already regarded him as a traitor! If you help Jia Long fight against General Wei, you will be the real one. being reviled by the world!"

He Zong slapped his forehead suddenly, and he came to his senses in an instant, and quickly thanked He Ju.

"The father's words made the child see the sun as if he had seen the sun through the clouds, and suddenly he was enlightened! The child has no doubts!"

He Ju finally showed a gratified smile, reached into his bosom and took out a bamboo slip.

"Look, this is sent by Mr. Ren An."

"teacher…?"

He Zong quickly took the bamboo slips and carefully read the contents inside.

"Hey! I am really ashamed of the teacher's years of cultivation! If the father hadn't reminded me, the child would almost have made a mistake!"

He Ju patted He Zong on the shoulder, signaling him not to care.

"My son doesn't need to be like this. General Wei estimates that it will take a few days to reach Pi County. You still have things to do..."

He Zongruo looked at the sword at his waist vaguely, and some doubts flashed in his eyes.

"Father means Jia Zhe, the general sent by Jia Long?"

He Ju nodded heavily, and then a sternness appeared in his eyes.

"Prepare for father's return home first, and let you arrange the rest."

"Obey!"

After He Ju left, He Zong immediately arranged for his cronies to come.

"Go to the barracks and tell Jia Zhe that there are messengers from Chengdu, asking him to come to He Mansion for a banquet at night."

"Obey!"

…

Three days later, Liu Zhang led his army to the city of Pi County.

Liu Zhang did not arrange for the soldiers to set up camp, but set up a formation, as if the whole army threatened the city gate.

"My lord seems to have doubts about He Zong's surrender?"

Liu Zhang looked at the speaker with a helpless expression.

The person who asked was none other than Huang Quan, who was personally ordered by Liu Zhang to join the army.

"Gongheng, I still remember what happened in Langzhong, so I have to be more careful."

Even though he knew that Liu Zhang had no other intentions, Huang Quan was still a little embarrassed.

After all, the instigator of what Liu Zhang encountered in Langzhong City was his grandfather, Huang Yin!

"Gongheng, don't think about it, that's not what I meant."

Liu Zhang also noticed Huang Quan's strangeness, and quickly explained to him.

"Hehe, my lord, don't worry too much. However, I feel that He Zong is not a false surrender."

Huang Quan didn't care about these trivial matters, but expressed his own opinion.

"That's right, Wen He also specifically told me before leaving that if He Zong offered the city, I don't have to doubt it."

Regarding the surrender of He Zongxian City, Liu Zhang was simply bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope!

It's really that Huang Yin's feigned surrender happened too recently, and Huang Quan, as the person involved, was still by Liu Zhang's side, so he couldn't help thinking about it.

While Liu Zhang and Huang Quan were talking, the city gate of Pi County slowly opened.
