Chapter 806 Both Front and Back

Leng Bao let go of the spear in his hand, but the Xiliang soldiers were still exerting their strength. Due to inertia, they stepped back a few steps, sat down on the ground with a thud, and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Kill the thief general and don't let him go!"

More than ten heavy-armored soldiers surrounded Lengbao and rushed directly towards Lengbao. However, the soldiers around Lengbao naturally swarmed up and protected Lengbao, fighting with the heavy-armored soldiers of the Xiliang Army. However, Although these guards are loyal to protect the Lord, how can they be the opponent of Xiliang's heavy armored soldiers?

Leng Bao's guards were retreating steadily under the siege of the heavy armored soldiers. Dozens of Xiliang heavy armored soldiers swarmed forward, surrounded Leng Bao, and pounced directly on him.

"Ouch!"

Leng Bao was thrown off his horse by the heavy armored soldiers of the Xiliang Army. He screamed suddenly, but he was surrounded by dozens of heavy armored soldiers like a arhat. Even though he was the overlord of Western Chu, he had to be captured without any help.

"General, the enemy general Leng Bao has been captured!"

The heavily armored soldiers cheered, surrounded Leng Bao, and captured Liu Ye in front of his horse.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Leng Bao tried desperately to struggle, but naturally he couldn't get away and was caught by the heavy armored soldiers in front of Liu Ye.

"Are you Leng Bao?" Liu Ye asked aloud.

Leng Bao looked over after hearing this and saw Liu Ye, who was tall and wearing a pair of steel armor. He seemed to be younger than himself, but he exuded an intimidating power and authority from all over his body.

Being in a high position for a long time will naturally develop an aura, and Liu Ye's current status can be said to be lower than that of one person and higher than ten thousand people. As a general, one word can naturally determine life or death. Moreover, Liu Ye has long been a master of Chinese martial arts. Although he has not made a move for a long time, his skill is increasing day by day. If he really fights in battle, he is even better than the King of Chu who killed more than a hundred Han soldiers with his own strength.

Liu Ye said with a smile on his face: "Is Captain Leng willing to surrender?"

Hearing this, Leng Bao snorted: "Stop talking nonsense, just kill someone."

"Um?"

Guan Hai on the side snorted coldly, took out the sword from its scabbard, held it in his hand and said: "Who are you? How dare you be so disrespectful to the general!"

"Zifu, put away your sword."

Liu Ye waved his hand and looked at Leng Bao with piercing eyes: "General Leng, if Zhang Ren keeps you as the queen, it is tantamount to giving up on you. Does General Leng still want to serve Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang?"

Leng Bao was shocked, but these words touched his sore spot. Zhang Ren had indeed abandoned him.

"The Governor was thinking of the overall situation and came back to save Chengdu. He did not do it intentionally." Leng Bao argued in a low voice.

"Hahaha, so General Leng is willing to die for Liu Zhang? Even if General Leng is willing to be buried in horse leather, doesn't he miss his wife and children at home at all?" Liu Ye said slowly.

"."

Leng Bao sighed and said nothing, obviously quite troubled.

"Haha, Liu Zhang is weak and not worthy of the general's service. Now that Yizhou is about to fall into the hands of our army, the general should think carefully about where he will go."

After that, Liu Ye ordered: "Take General Leng down, take good care of him, serve him with food and wine, don't neglect him."

Some soldiers had already detained Leng Bao, but Ma Teng on the side was puzzled and said: "Why is the general so good at tempting Leng Bao? I don't know how many generals in the Xiliang army are capable of fighting, so why do you need to treat a mere one?" Leng Bao is so kind to persuade?"

Not only Ma Teng, Guan Hai, Ma Xiu and other generals in the army looked puzzled, they didn't understand why Liu Ye wanted to persuade Leng Bao nicely. Did he have any special talents?

"Haha, this Bashu land will soon belong to our army. The Sichuan people have always been xenophobic, and our army will still rule after occupying Yizhou. In order to appease the Shu people, our army will definitely appoint a group of Shu generals. This cold Wouldn’t it be great if Bao was willing to surrender?”

After hearing Liu Ye's explanation, the generals understood and all praised the generals for their brilliance. After all, they were mostly fierce generals who rushed into battle and could conquer the world but could not rule it. If Zhang Jaw, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and others were here, they would You will definitely understand what Liu Ye is thinking.

Ancient people still valued the rulers above them, so ancient rulers often arranged local officials to manage the local people. For example, when Xiang Yu divided the world's princes, he appointed Qin general Zhang Han and three other people as kings to command the three Qin lands in Guanzhong. However, because Xiang Yu killed 200,000 Qin soldiers in Julukeng, the Qin people were angry with Zhang Han and other surrendered generals. Later, after Liu Bang built a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, they all defected to Liu Bang. During the struggle between Chu and Han for hegemony, the Qin people continuously served as logistical troops and contributed greatly to Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu.

Bashu has a closed geographical environment, so people often claim kingship here. For example, Gongsun Shu in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, Shu Han Liu Bei and his son, Cheng Han who was destroyed by Huan Wen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, etc., all established themselves as kings in Bashu.

It was not easy to capture Yizhou. If Yizhou, which was finally captured, rebelled, Liu Ye would really cry.

"Okay, leave one army to clean the battlefield, and the rest will continue the pursuit. Zhang Ren must be left behind!"

Liu Ye gave an order, and tens of thousands of Xiliang troops set off again, chasing Zhang Ren's army in the direction of retreat. As long as they could defeat Zhang Ren's troops, Chengdu and the entire Bashu would be within easy reach.

More than 50,000 Liangzhou troops pursued them all the way, but Zhang Ren was very shrewd. Although Liu Ye had the topographic map of central Shu presented by Zhang Song, Zhang Ren had stayed in Yizhou for decades and had no natural knowledge of the topography of central Shu. He couldn't be more proficient, so all the way through the mountains and ridges, although the Xiliang army was chasing after him, they couldn't catch up no matter what.

In a mountain forest, 20,000 Yizhou troops crossed mountains and ridges, marching between high mountains and ridges. The soldiers moved very briskly. There are many mountains and dangerous roads in the middle of Sichuan. The Bashu soldiers have long been accustomed to the mountainous terrain in the middle of Sichuan, so they move easily and move quickly, like apes.

"Hurry up, don't fall behind!"

Zhang Ren shouted loudly, and then accelerated forward, followed by Deng Xian behind him.

"Grand Governor, we will be able to reach Chengdu in three days."

"Well, do we still have enough food and grass for three days with us?" Zhang Ren asked.

"It's enough for five days."

Zhang Ren nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, order the entire army to speed up and get out of the forest as soon as possible."

Chengdu will arrive in a blink of an eye. As long as we speed up and arrive in Chengdu before the Xiliang army, and then join forces with the soldiers in the city to attack together and defeat Zhang Jia, then there is still something to be done.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that the final battlefield would be in Chengdu. This would inevitably destroy Chengdu, but there was no other way. This was the only choice for Zhang Ren and the Yizhou Army.
