Ling Bao led two thousand soldiers to chase northwards, not because he wanted to cut off the ox cart and make a fortune, but because he wanted to gamble in his heart. He wanted to make great contributions, intercepted the logistics convoy and gave the Jingzhou army a heavy blow.

This will let Wu Yi know that he is not able to suppress him just because he wants to suppress him, and ask Zhang Ren to support him and give Wu Yi a loud slap.

With a desire to make contributions, Ling Bao forgot the danger and was determined to chase the Jingzhou Army's logistics and supplies team. He was blinded by the desire to make contributions and completely forgot Huang Zhong's army.

After passing Wuyang County, we entered a continuous mountainous and hilly area. This mountain range is called Pengshan. It is said to be Pengzu's bone burial place. The mountains are dozens of miles wide. When you walk out of the hilly area, you will find the endless plains in Shu. There are many huge canyons in the mountains.

Ling Baobao led his army to run along the official road among the undulating hills. This is an abandoned official road. Although it is covered with weeds, you can still walk on the ox cart. On both sides are low hills and dense forests, which look particularly cold and lonely under the moonlight.

The team chased for more than twenty miles. Gradually, under the moonlight, they saw the ox cart in front of them, rumbling towards the north, dust flying, Ling Bao was overjoyed and shouted: "Catch up with the ox cart."

The soldiers rushed to chase each other and were getting closer and closer to the ox cart. At this moment, a buzz sounded in the woods on both sides, and dense arrows shot out from the woods. Ling Bao's army was caught off guard and fell to the ground. In just a moment, a large area fell down. At this time, fires rose everywhere, and an army rushed out of the woods. For the general, it was Huang Zhong, he shouted: "People general, come with your life."

Ling Bao was so scared that he turned around and fled. Their soldiers were also frightened by the cold arrows shot from the sneak attack and the ambush of the enemy. Without waiting for his order, they rushed back and fled.

At this time, the ambush came from both sides and cut off the deserters. The Yizhou army had no intention of resisting and kneeled down to surrender, and begging sounded.

Ling Bao's horse was quick and rushed past the ambush and fled to Wuyang City with several people. But after running less than two miles, fires rose in front of him, and another army stopped him.

Ling Bao tied his war horses and searched for escape. He found that not only the front, but also the front, back, left and right, surrounded them, thousands of people.

At this time, Yan Yan came out of the team and shouted sternly to him: "General Ling, even I surrendered to Jingzhou. If you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait?"

Ling Bao was desperate and thought about Wu Yi treating him mean, so why should he work hard for Liu Xun again? He couldn't help but sigh, rolled over and dismounted, crawled on the side of the road to surrender.

After the main general surrendered, the soldiers also abandoned their weapons and surrendered. In this ambush, Huang Zhong captured the enemy general Ling Bao without any effort.

............

Ling Bao led his army to chase the Jingzhou army's baggage. Deng Xian was restless in the city. Although he hated Ling Bao for not obeying his orders, Ling Bao was Zhang Ren's confidant general after all. If something happened to him, he would not be able to explain to Zhang Ren.

Deng Xian sent someone outside the city to inquire about the news, but did not find any information about the enemy's troops heading north, which made him slightly relieved.

At the beginning of the morning, Deng Xian had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door. A soldier reported outside: "General Qi reported to General Ling, General Ling is back, and countless ox carts are coming."

Deng Xian was overjoyed, and hurriedly put on his armor and ran towards the North City. He ran up the city and looked down. He saw that the city was brightly lit, and the soldiers were holding torches in their hands and driving thousands of ox carts, which was Ling Bao.

When Ling Bao saw Deng Xian come out, he laughed proudly and said, "General Deng, I'm back with a full load, but they are all good things, I can give you a part."

After saying that, he lifted the oil cloth on a ox cart, and the soldiers on the city wall exclaimed immediately. Under the fire, the ox cart was full of yellow copper coins, and each copper coins flashed with a dazzling metallic luster. More than a dozen ox carts were loaded with copper coins, which made people's eyes red.

Deng Xian secretly despised Ling Bao, but so many copper coins were just enough to reward soldiers. He immediately ordered: "Kaicheng"

The city gate creaked open, the suspension bridge was lowered, and Ling Bao ordered the soldiers and the ox cart to enter the city first, and teams of soldiers escorted the ox cart to walk into the city.

When the ox cart had the last remaining, it suddenly stopped. Deng Xian frowned and leaned out and shouted, "Why haven't you entered the city yet? Why are you going to the city? Why are you going to be slow?"

Suddenly a soldier pointed at a distance and shouted, "General, there is an enemy situation."

I saw a large number of soldiers fighting out of the darkness, and the sound of horse hooves sounded. A general was leading countless soldiers to come to the city gate. Deng Xian was shocked and shouted repeatedly: "Close the city gate quickly and close the city gate."

The city gate was blocked by a ox cart, the suspension bridge could not be pulled up, and the city gate could not be closed. At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly sounded in the city. Deng Xian turned around suddenly and heard a personal soldier shouting: "General Ling rebelled, his soldiers rebelled."

Deng Xian's mind buzzed, and he suddenly understood that Ling Bao went to chase the ox cart, and something must have happened in the middle. Ling Bao surrendered to the Jingzhou army and came to deceive the city. He took a few steps back and sat on the top of the city powerlessly, his thoughts were gone. He knew very well that Wuyang City was over.

This is Sima Yi's plan to deceive the city. He calculated that Wu Yi would not place heavy troops in Wuyang County. As long as Wu Yi's army left, they could implement the plan to deceive the city.

Inducing the defenders in the city to chase the ox cart is one of the strategies. If this plan is not successful, Sima Yi has the second strategy, which is to throw a few ox carts beside him. When the defenders in the city drive the ox cart into the city, the ambush will raid. At this time, the ox cart will inevitably block the city gate and cannot advance or retreat, and the ambush can take the opportunity to seize the city.

However, Ling Bao was eager to make contributions and did not use the second plan, so he fell into the first plan and led the Jingzhou army to deceive Wuyang City.

There was no suspense in the battle. The soldiers of Yizhou surrendered one after another. Deng Xian wanted to escape from Ximen, but was caught by Ximen's defenders and escorted him to perform his merits.

In the temporary camp, Huang Zhong ordered people to reward the soldiers who arrested Deng Xian, and then smiled at Deng Xian and said, "General Deng is willing to surrender."

Deng Xian bowed his head and said nothing, Huang Zhong advised again: "General Deng is also a Ba people. How could he not know that in order to protect the Ba people, General Deng's parents even had shelter. As the saying goes, birds choose good trees to live on. Even General Deng does not want to be grateful, he should know that surrendering to Liuzhou Mu is a wise plan. Why should he work hard for Liu Xun, who killed his brothers, and defend the soon-to-be-destroy Chengdu."

Every word hit Deng Xian's heart. He thought about the gratitude of Baren to Liu Jing, how could he not be moved, and Liu Xunming was not right and the enemy was still going to fight each other. Such a lord is really not worthy of his loyalty.

Deng Xian sighed, knelt down on one knee, and said with his fist: "Deng Xian is willing to surrender to Jingzhou and serve Liu Jingzhou."

Huang Zhong was overjoyed and quickly helped Deng Xian up, "I knew that General Deng was an upright person, so I promised the general that Liu Zhoumu would never treat the general unfairly."

Deng Xian bowed again, "Thank you, General Huang."

At this time, a soldier entered the tent and whispered to Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong was stunned, "How could this happen?"

"What happened to the old general?" Deng Xian asked uneasyly.

Huang Zhong sighed, "Jiang Shou refused to surrender, and the whole family committed suicide by taking poison."

Deng Xian was sad and said for a while: "I have a friendship with Jiang Shousu, please ask the old general to allow me to bury them."

Huang Zhong nodded, "The rituals that can be kept are buried with a grand funeral"

Huang Zhong rectified the surrendered soldiers for two days, and then, in accordance with Liu Jing's order, appointed Deng Zhi as the guard of Jian and gave him two thousand soldiers. Then, he and Yan Yan led the army to continue north.

...........

In Chengdu, Liu Jing led 60,000 main army of Jingzhou, and the main army of Jingzhou had arrived at the largest city in Bashu. The warships were parked all over the Minjiang River. The Jingzhou army built a military camp in the wilderness two miles west of the city. The Jingzhou army was not in a hurry to attack the city. Liu Jing hoped to force Liu Xun to surrender with huge pressure.

Just as Liu Jing led his army, Shu County Magistrate Xu Jing surrendered to Liu Jing first. Not far from the city, Liu Jing patrolled along the city under the escort of several personal guards and more than a dozen generals.

Chengdu City is worthy of being the first city in Bashu. The city walls are tall and sturdy, with a wide head of the city, which can be used for horse racing, with perforations, visiting holes and stone-capping slides. It is also built with horse faces and a moat around it, about four meters wide. It is the widest moat Liu Jing has ever seen. It cannot be built with ordinary wooden boards.

However, this is not a problem for Liu Jing, because the moat is connected to the outer river, the ship can enter the moat and quickly build a floating bridge. Moreover, the moat is very wide, leaving a loophole.

"How deep is the moat?" Liu Jing asked Xu Jing with a smile.

Xu Jing was about 60 years old. In his early years, he was famous for evaluating celebrities with his cousin Xu Shao. He was old in the court and was displaced in troubled times. He joined Wang Lang, went to Jiaozhou, and finally came to Yizhou. He served as the governor of Ba County. Because he was excluded by the local Bashu system, he was gradually neglected by Liu Zhang. He was also a free position as the governor of Shu County.

But Liu Jing respected him quite well and showed that he would use him more. This made Xu Jing feel excited as an old horse. He quickly replied: "I only cleaned the mud this spring, about ten feet deep."

"One zhang"

This answer made Liu Jing quite satisfied. He raised his whip and pointed to another natural river connecting the moat not far away and asked: "Mr. Prince, what is the name of that river?"

Xu Jing quickly clasped his fists and said, "This river is called Jinhe, which runs through the whole city and leads directly to the Minjiang River. There is a water gate built wherever it enters the city."

Liu Jing nodded and urged the horse to come to the Jin River. He looked at the river carefully. It was about four or five meters wide, and it should have flowed northward into the Minjiang River. He immediately ordered his personal soldiers to say, "Try the depth of the water."

Several personal soldiers used spears to test the depth of the water and reported: "The depth of the water is more than one meter, about one meter two."

Liu Jing smiled and asked Xu Jing again: "There is a water gate at the entrance at the other end."

"Report to the Palace Master, this is the north of the city, and there is also a water gate in the east of the city."

Liu Jing knew the water gate well. He knew the weakness of the water gate. He leaned over and squinted his eyes and looked inside. Through the iron gate, you could vaguely see the urn city inside. It was exactly the same structure as the Chaisang Water City. He couldn't help but laugh, "Is this built by the same person as Chaisang?"

On the top of the city, Liu Xun was holding Liu Jing in the distance, only apart from each other, observing the city as he pleased, pointing to the east and asks everything, and provoking him unscrupulously, making Liu Xun's face turn pale. He turned around and asked, "Can you shoot him with an arrow?"

The guards all shook their heads, "My husband, his distance is just outside the range of the crossbow, so it is probably difficult to shoot."

At this time, Zhang Ren said coldly: "Others can't do it, but I can."

He took off his hard bow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, and pulled the arrow suddenly. The bow string was like a full moon. He narrowed his eyes and aimed at Liu Jing. When the string was loosened, a powerful wolf-tooth arrow shot towards Liu Jing like lightning.
