This battle of Rongcheng can be said to be a real vicious battle fought with the Shu army since the Qin army invaded Shu.

In ancient battlefields, there were examples of hundreds of people defending a city, not to mention the 5,000 Qin army, plus generals like Peng Shuang.

Chen Tai wants to break through Rongcheng in a short time, which is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

This battle completely demonstrated the Qin army's style of fighting without dying, and under the ferocity, it also let Chen Tai know what the army of tigers and wolves is.

In the evening, the Shu army suffered heavy casualties, not to mention attacking the city, even half a step was not allowed to enter, at this time, due to the sky, Chen Tai could no longer hold on, and had to order a hasty retreat.

After the First World War, he sighed and said that he had been fooled.

The fierce resistance of the Qin army in Rongcheng exceeded his expectations, which also put him in an embarrassing dilemma, neither advancing nor retreating.

So that the entire 50,000 Shu army was pinned down here.

In Rongcheng, almost all the generals of the Qin army were covered in blood, and someone couldn't help but say: "General, General Su Yi is ...... him"

As a result, before he finished speaking, Peng Shuang was already annoyed and angry: "Don't mention Su Yi to me!" This man is hateful! ”

He was angry, it was Su Yi who lied to him, if he was asked to guard Rongcheng, he would have said everything in advance, he would have nothing to say, and he would take orders, but Su Yi didn't tell him anything, didn't he make it clear that he was using him as bait!

When the generals heard this, they all swallowed their saliva and didn't dare to say any more.

Peng Shuang took a deep breath and said again: "Tell the soldiers below directly!" We have no reinforcements and no way out! can only defend Rongcheng! If the city is broken, everyone will die together! If the city is here, everyone will live together! ”

On his side, he has put on a posture of breaking the kettle.

At the same time, Yong'an.

Xiao Yuan's strategic goal of avoiding its strengths and attacking its shortcomings was achieved, and Shu began to bloom in all directions, and many fronts frequently won victories.

This is most directly related to the lack of ability of their middle and low-level generals.

The lord of Shu is dark, ignores political affairs, and indulges in singing and dancing all year round, it can be imagined what kind of civil and military forces are under him, and there are a lot of wine bags and rice bags in the army.

After several days of onslaught, the Shu army was defeated and began to abandon the city pass and retreat.

You must know that Yong'an is a county, not a county, this is a big city, and after it is lost, it will be followed by the fall of many counties.

In the city, the county guard Li Minggui was pacing back and forth in the hall of the county government.

Now the army has been retreating, Yong'an has no troops to garrison, and when the morning dawns, the Qin army will come again, and the city will be lost.

Right now, he has three paths to follow.

First, follow the army to withdraw, and Yong'an doesn't want it.

The second is to organize the civilians in the city and defend the city with the people.

The third is to open the city and surrender.

That's why he's anxious.

In the hall, there is also a middle-aged man, who is equivalent to a staff member of the county government.

Seeing Li Minggui's worried face, he arched his hand and said, "My lord, now that the situation is clear, we must make a decision tonight." ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Li Minggui stopped and glanced at him.

The staff thought for a moment and said, "Either retreat or surrender." Let's talk about retreat first, once the adults retreat, then this Yong'an county guard will never have anything to do with the adults, and my Shu army was defeated and retreated, and it is no longer in one place, according to the courage of the Qin army, next, all parts of Shuzhong, will only retreat again and again, until there is no way back in Yizhou. ”

"You mean, Shu will be defeated?" Li Minggui asked in a deep voice.

"I think this should be obvious, right?" The staff said: "Qin and Shu, the lords of the two places, the difference is too great, this adult doesn't know, with the darkness of my lord, how to resist the lord of Qin?" And regardless of whether the Qin army is a tiger and a wolf, only General Lian Xiao can have the strength to fight, but he alone has no power to return to the sky. ”

"So, what do you mean...... Fall? Li Minggui asked again.

"If it is surrendered, the lord will be able to keep his official position."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Li Minggui couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

The staff explained: "My lord, imagine that this time the Qin army attacked Shu, the Qin lord Xiao Yuan, what is his purpose? He didn't commit anything along the way, and he ordered the sergeants not to burn, kill and loot, and not to disturb the people, so it can be seen that what he wants is not to plunder Shu, but to be in charge here, he needs the hearts of the people of Sichuan and Shu, and he wants to govern Sichuan and Shu! ”

"And my lord, it is the county guard of Yong'an, if he surrenders, it will be of great significance to the lord of Qin, he must be very happy, in order to appease the people of Shu, he will never move the lord, on the contrary, he may also promote the lord."

......Hearing this, Li Minggui couldn't help but take a light breath, and then nodded slowly: "What Mr. said, there is some truth, some truth......

The staff said: "Of course, how to make decisions depends on the adults, and the pros and cons are only explained below." ”

"En......" Li Minggui nodded again, and then pondered.

For him, as long as he can keep his position as the county guard, whether it is Huang Songyuan or Xiao Yuan, he doesn't care who the master is!

And what the staff said was indeed right, Li Minggui was about to surrender, handed over the surrender letter, and the news reached Xiao Yuan, Shangguan Wenruo also immediately stood up and suggested:

"Lord, since Yong'an has surrendered, the lord can no longer move Li Minggui, he should retain his current official position and let him continue to serve as the county guard of Yong'an, so that not only can the people of Yong'an be effectively appeased, but more importantly, other Shu officials will see the magnanimity of the lord, and they will also be shaken."

Yong'an's surrender is simply equivalent to a signal, Xiao Yuan naturally understood what Shangguan Wenruo meant, and immediately adopted his opinion.

On the morning of the next day, at the head of Yong'an City, the flag of the Shu army was lowered.

The city gate was wide open, and Li Minggui, the county guard, took a group of Yongan officials to personally welcome him out of the city.

At that time, there was a strict hierarchy, there was a difference between the top and bottom, the size of the official position, and the official uniform was also distinct.

Li Minggui was dressed in a county guard uniform, just by looking at it, he knew that he was a county guard of Yong'an, Xiao Yuan rode a high-headed horse, and after leading the army to arrive here, Li Minggui also quickly knelt on the ground and saluted, and said loudly:

"Yong'an County Guard Li Minggui, led the county's Chinese military officials, and greeted General Xiao."

This passage has already shown that Yong'an has surrendered, Xiao Yuan heard this, quickly turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Li Minggui, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile:

"Lord Li, please hurry up, how dare this official bear such a big gift."

He was so humble, Li Minggui couldn't help but be a little frightened and said: "The general is the lord of Qin, how dare you not kneel when the officials surrender." ”

Xiao Yuan waved his hand: "Huh? What is the surrender or not surrender, Yong'an, needs a county guard like Lord Li, this official, and also needs someone like Lord Li to govern Shu. ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, Li Minggui was immediately excited when he heard this, and the staff really didn't lie to themselves!

He was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and stretched out his hand, and said excitedly: "Lord, please enter the city, the lower officials have already prepared a banquet." ”
