Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 482 The Emperor's Edict
Yan Liang sneered and replied:

"The commander of the Chu Lord's men is Yan Liang!"

When Zhang Bao heard the name "Yan Liang", he finally understood why Feng Ji and Xu You betrayed them.

After all, they are all Yuan Shao's old subordinates, and it seems that they have colluded with each other long ago!
Zhang Bao could not help but yell at Feng Ji and Xu You:
"How dare you two betray the court and serve the thieves! You will be infamous forever!"

Feng Ji stepped forward and gave Zhang Bao a big fight:

“I sincerely serve the court, but Yang Feng and Guo Tai have repeatedly targeted me!

"Since the imperial court can betray me, why can't I betray the imperial court?!"

Zhang Bao knew Feng Ji’s previous situation, so he frowned and said nothing.

Everything that happened suddenly naturally attracted the attention of other soldiers on the city wall, and they all drew their swords and approached Yan Liang and his men.

Yan Liang immediately shouted to the soldiers:
"I have killed Zhang Long! Yang Feng will also fall into our ambush!

"You have already been defeated! If you don't want Zhang Bao to die because of you, retreat immediately!"

The soldiers could only retreat.

However, at this moment, Zhang Bao suddenly shouted angrily at everyone:
"Don't worry about me! Kill all these people!
"You are the imperial army, you must not compromise with the traitors!"

Hearing this, the soldiers hesitated for a moment, and suddenly rushed towards Yan Liang and his men!
Feng Ji and Xu You's faces changed drastically!
Seeing that Zhang Bao would rather die than surrender, Yan Liang knew that he was useless, so he immediately slashed his throat with a sword, killing him directly!

Yan Liang then ordered the soldiers to protect Feng Ji and Xu You, while he himself changed to a long spear to fight the enemy!

At the same time, he called up his own soldiers at the stairs and fought with the enemy soldiers!
However, there were nearly a thousand enemy soldiers on the city wall, while Yan Liang had only a hundred men.

Even though Yan Liang was extremely brave, he gradually became overwhelmed when the enemy had a force ten times larger than his own!

As the number of friendly troops around us decreases, our living space is increasingly being squeezed by the enemy.

At this critical moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out outside the city wall!
Then everyone heard someone shouting from below the tower:

"Yang Feng's head is here! Why don't you surrender immediately?
"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"

As he spoke, the man below threw Yang Feng's head onto the city wall with force.

When the soldiers of Xiabian City saw that the head was indeed Yang Feng himself, they realized that the game was over.

So they stopped attacking Yan Liang and others, and dropped their weapons in surrender.

Yan Liang and others then breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered their men to open the city gates and welcome all of Sun Ce's troops in.

At this point, Xiabian City was finally successfully captured by Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Feng Ji, Xu You, and Yan Liang in the city!

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu entered the city and met Yan Liang and his two companions.

Sun Ce bowed to Yan Liang and said:
"General Yan has been hiding in the city for a while, it must be very hard."

Yan Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Now that Yuan Benchu ​​has surrendered to Liu Bei, we can only serve Duke Chu wholeheartedly.

"This is what I should do..."

On the other side, Zhou Yu also bowed to Feng Ji and Xu You:
“If it weren’t for the two of you helping us this time, we might not be able to lure Yang Feng’s army out of the city.

"This battle was won thanks to the two authorities!"

Feng Ji waved his hand quickly:

"We two are just talented people who have not been recognized, so we just act according to the circumstances.

"If it weren't for the clever plan by Imperial Censor Zhang Song, who used us as pawns, we wouldn't have easily changed our minds."

After both sides flattered each other, they all went to the City Lord's Mansion with a smile.

And thanks to the outstanding performance of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others, Lu Bu's army successfully gained two senior strategists, Feng Ji and Xu You!
……the other side.

At the same time that Sun Ce attacked Xiabian City.

Wei Yan also led a group of soldiers to carve out a climbing path on the dangerous mountain walls in the south of Longxi.

Afterwards, Wei Yan climbed up himself, and using his extraordinary physical fitness, he successfully tied the rope to a thick tree on the cliff.

With this layer of defense, the soldiers below can continue to dig higher.

However, accidents are inevitable when working on such a treacherous cliff.

Even though a thick quilt was laid underneath for cushioning.

But falling from a height of tens or even hundreds of meters.

No matter how much cushioning there is, it cannot prevent the damage to the body caused by the moment of collision between the body and the quilt and when it hits bottom and rebounds.

After dozens of people were killed and injured, Wei Yan finally built a road to cross the dangerous mountain.

Then he led five thousand elite soldiers, crossed the mountains and suddenly appeared in Lintao County.

Just as Wei Yan and Guo Youzhi thought, there were only one thousand defenders in Lintao County.

Faced with Wei Yan's army that suddenly appeared in the southern territory, the Lintao County magistrate offered almost no resistance and simply opened the city and surrendered.

At the same time, Wei Yan also received the good news that Sun Ce and his men had captured Xiabian City.

Wei Yan immediately informed Sun Ce of the situation here.

Sun Ce soon arrived with a large army and headed north with Wei Yan to attack Didao County, the capital of Longxi County.

Finally, before the enemy reinforcements arrived, they successfully captured Didao City!

When the news reached Chang'an when Wudu and Longxi counties were captured by Lu Bu's army, the entire court was shocked!
Without these two counties, the gates to southern Liangzhou are wide open!

It even directly threatened Youfufeng County of Sili!
Faced with this situation, Liu Xie immediately dispatched Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Han Sui and other Xiliang generals to lead the army to garrison Youfufeng, Hanyang County and Jincheng County respectively!
Fortunately, Lu Bu's army has always been steady and cautious, and did not rush to launch an attack on Hanyang County and Youfufeng.

However, Jincheng County, which was the farthest from Chang'an, was persuaded to surrender by Zhou Yu before Han Sui arrived.

Han Sui had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Wuwei County...

Lu Bu, who was in the rear, was also quite surprised to learn that Sun Ce, Wei Yan and others had captured three counties in a row.

He immediately gave rewards to a number of generals and sent 40,000 troops to the front line!

Afterwards, Lu Bu asked Wei Yan and Sun Ce to wait for an opportunity to launch the next round of attack, but before the attack, they must make sufficient preparations and precautions.

Faced with tremendous pressure from Lu Bu's army, Liu Xie urgently ordered Liu Bei's army in the east to launch an attack on Lu Bu's territory in order to contain the enemy as much as possible.

At this time, Liu Bei's army had gradually consolidated its territory with the help of Zhuge Liang.

When he received the imperial edict, he immediately found Zhuge Liang and discussed with him whether to send troops.

After years of brainwashing by Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's ambition had already grown very high.

Although he still respects the Han Dynasty on the surface, he has already had the idea of ​​replacing it in his heart...

On this day, the capital of the Shu vassal state, Yecheng.

This place is not only the seat of government of Jizhou, but also the capital that Liu Bei set for his own vassal state after he was granted the title of Duke.

Because Yuan Shao had already built a palace before, Liu Bei could move in directly.

But at this moment, Liu Bei, holding the emperor's edict in his left hand and holding his forehead with his right hand, seemed to have a headache...
