I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 768 Yizhou, it’s over…

The powerful people in Yizhou put pressure on Yuan Yi collectively. The power of the powerful people's collective anger was naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Once it is not handled properly, it can even subvert the political power in Shu.

It’s no wonder that these powerful men were so angry. Sun Ce really went too far this time. How could anyone like him directly kill the general who was sent by Zhou Mu to replace him, and then seize the general’s military power himself? I wonder who among the local prominent families can tolerate him?
However, it is not surprising that Sun Ce acted like this. He has always been arbitrary in history. When he was in Jiangdong, he acted too recklessly and did not know how to be gentle, which aroused public anger.

In the end, Sun Ce ended up being assassinated in Jiangdong.

At this time period, Sun Ce was actually not much better than he was in history.

Yuan Yi was under unprecedented pressure from Yizhou's powerful forces, and he did not dare to favor Sun Ce anymore.

He even regretted letting Sun Ce come to Yizhou.

Why did you ask Yuan Shao for such a lunatic?

Therefore, Yuan Yi could only order again, asking the local powerful men in Yizhou to send out disciples and heroes from the clan to form an army again. This time, he asked the powerful people who had been quite prestigious in Yizhou over the years but belonged to Dongzhou to form an army again. Wu Yi, a soldier, was the one who commanded the army, and the army once again went to Fushui Pass in a mighty manner to take over Sun Ce's military power.

But Sun Ce neither expressed his mistake to Yuan Yi nor turned to Liu Jian.

So Liu Jian no longer hesitated and immediately ordered Zhang Fei and Lu Bu to lead their troops to launch a fierce attack on Fushui Pass, where civil strife had begun.

And Sun Ce has some problems.

In their eyes, Sun Ce, the top general, was only a symbolic existence, but not practical.

Many of them have secretly colluded with Wu Yi's people, intending to hand over Fushui Pass to Wu Yi, cooperate inside and outside, and kill Sun Ce.

Moreover, these soldiers are disciples of major families and usually obey the orders of the mid-level officers who lead them.

He supported his own troops at Fushui Pass and at the same time had no fear of the soldiers led by Wu Yi.

Yuan Yi was too pedantic in his behavior. Under such circumstances, how could he question Sun Ce in such a big way? Doesn't this clearly push Sun Ce outside and make him go against him?

He has no way of raising these soldiers for a long time!

If it were a normal hero, it stands to reason that he would first appease Sun Ce, not make the matter a big deal, and stabilize the other party, and then send people to secretly find a way to surrender Sun Ce's military power, using some underhanded tricks to avoid alerting the enemy.

Now, the Yizhou Army and Sun Ce began to have internal strife because of Sun Ce's killing of Gao Pei. In this situation of internal and external difficulties, how could they be Liu Jian's opponents?

In particular, Liu Jian's intelligence network was extremely complete and his investigative capabilities were quite strong. He quickly learned about the situation of Wu Yijun and Sun Cejun.

Under normal circumstances, if it were someone else, and after seeing the rumors clearly, one should first express surrender to Yuan Yi, state the interests, express submission to Yuan Yi, state the crisis of the situation, and hope that Yuan Yi can temporarily appease the powerful Yizhou people. If it doesn't work, he will turn to Liu Jian to protect himself.

His idea was that if Wu Yi dared to seize his military power, he would take advantage of the situation to kill Wu Yi as well, and then seize Wu Yi's troops and horses.

After all, Sun Ce did not have much food and grass, did not control Yizhou's taxes, and did not have a legitimate position.

It can be said that both Yuan Yi and Sun Ce are somewhat abnormal.

Yizhou is now in civil strife.

If Yizhou is monolithic, it would be quite difficult to guard against Liu Jian.

If it can be digested internally, it is digested internally.

Then, Yuan Yi ordered an envoy to be sent to Fushui Pass to question Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is indeed a brave man, but now he has no foundation in Yizhou, and most of these soldiers and horses are provided by major powerful men. Even if Sun Ce can subdue them for a while with coercion, how can they stay in Yizhou for a long time? Are Sun Ce's men serving him?

Wu Yi and Sun Ce had just begun their internal strife and had neglected the defense of Fushui Pass. They did not expect that Liu Jian would launch such a fierce attack on Fushui Pass without making too many arrangements for Hanzhong!

The combined offensive of Zhang Fei and Lu Bu is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people.

If Sun Ce defends carefully and unites Wu Yi and other powerful forces in Yizhou, he may be able to protect Fushui Pass and maintain a stalemate with the opponent.

But they are now in a state of internal strife. Faced with a sudden and unexpected attack by the Northern Army, the entire Fushui Pass combat system has naturally become a mess.

Although the Sun Army obeyed Sun Ce's command, some of the other Yizhou armies thought Sun Ce was an enemy, while others thought Sun Ce was a friend.

How could these Yizhou soldiers have the energy to deal with the outside world when they couldn't tell the difference between friends and enemies?
Naturally, Sun Ce's Sun Jiajun had to allocate part of their energy to deal with them.

As a result, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu's armies became overwhelming and captured the important town of Fushui Pass in one fell swoop.

After Fushui Pass was captured, Liu Jian did not stop, and immediately ordered Ma Chao and Yan Xing to divide their troops into two groups and directly attack the Yilu Army headquarters led by Sun Ce and Wu Yi.

Sun Jiajun and Wu Yi's Yizhou Army were simply unable to cope with the strong onslaught of the Northern Army at this moment.

After the battle, the Yizhou side was beaten so hard that they abandoned their armor and fled in confusion. Although Sun Ce fought bravely to kill the enemy, in the end he was still inferior to the many fierce generals of the Northern Army and was defeated.

In the end, he could only lead his army to flee south in a hurry.

Now he has no way to surrender to Liu Jian, nor can he return to Jingzhou. Here in Yizhou, he has become a capricious villain. It can be said that there will be no place for him in Shu.

Where can Sun Ce go now?

To be honest, he was also very confused.

However, Liu Jian did not give him a chance to think!
Liu Jian wanted to regain Yizhou in one go.

While he sent his men to collect various county towns in Shu County and Qianwei County, he also asked Zhang Ren and Yan Yan to send surrender letters to the major families in central Shu on behalf of the court.

Under such circumstances, recruiting and surrendering the major families in Sichuan will undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Chaoting's army of kings was approaching Luocheng like a broken bamboo. The big men in Shu were not fools, so they naturally surrendered to the wind.

Even if they cannot openly rebel against Yuan Yi now, it is very necessary for them to secretly communicate with Liu Jian, exchange information, and express their loyalty.

After all, no one wants to tie their family to Yuan Yi and be buried with him.

Wu Yi, who had retreated to Luocheng, was now full of conflicting feelings.

Because Liu Jian sent people to express his intention to recruit Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was originally a scholar from Dongzhou and came to Yizhou with Liu Yan.

Later, Liu Yan died of illness, and his descendants were expelled to Nanzhong by Yuan Yi. Wu Yi had no choice but to surrender to Yuan Yi, and Wu Yi had a high status among Dongzhou scholars, so his surrender to Yuan Yi also led to many Liu Yan's old troops surrendered to Yuan Yi.

But in fact, Wu Yi himself did not have much loyalty to Yuan Yi.

Moreover, the person he faced, Liu Jian, represented the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Jian had been on good terms with his old master Liu Yan in the past.

Now that Liu Jian sent people to recruit him to surrender, Wu Yi was really moved.

As an outstanding representative among Dongzhou scholars, Wu Yi naturally knew that for him, surrendering to Liu Jian was the best choice for himself and his family.

If it were someone else, he might have weighed the pros and cons of surrendering to Liu Jian, but Wu Yi was different. After all, Liu Yan was involved.

Liu Jian, in particular, has had a very good reputation over the years. Anyone who surrenders to him will be reused as long as they follow the principles he has drawn.

Unless those powerful people are seeking death and insist on going against Liu Jian's policies, Liu Jian treats everyone very well, regardless of whether he is a reduced general or not.

Therefore, Wu Yi began to express his willingness to submit to Liu Jian.

Who would have thought that as soon as Wu Yi expressed his surrender to Liu Jian, Liu Jian immediately sent a letter expressing his willingness to confer Wu Yi as a rebel general and a Marquis of Gaoyang Township.

This full of enthusiasm instantly melted Wu Yi.

This is taking yourself too seriously!

Compared with Liu Yan and Yuan Yi, Liu Jian's importance to himself is really unusual!

Before seeing Liu Jian in person, Wu Yi was deeply moved by him.

This is the charm of the Han Dynasty Prime Minister.

No one can compare!
Therefore, while the Han army was still building siege equipment outside Luocheng, inside Luocheng, Wu Yi had already opened the city gate and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Han army.

At this time, the main generals of the Han army were stunned.

Surrender?
Tell me earlier!
This device builds a bunch.

All your work is in vain!

However, compared to the surprise of the Han army, Wu Yi's surrender without a fight was subversive to the shock to the entire Yizhou!

After Yuan Yi learned the news, his eyes darkened and he almost lost his temper.

His generals surrendered again and again. How could he protect Yizhou for a long time?

Once Luocheng is lost, the Han army is about to push towards Mianzhu and enter the Chengdu Plain!
This has hit my heart!
For Yuan Yi, the building was about to collapse.

Yizhou, it’s over!
