The people in Chengdu knew about the Wei army's trebuchets and the power of new weapons.

They also all know the power of the fierce fire oil tank and the earth-shaking thunder.

Therefore, they were even more frightened, for fear that once the Wei army attacked the city, Chengdu would be completely destroyed, and they would also be affected, losing everything, and even their lives.

Xu Jing, the former Shu County Taishou who was dismissed for opposing the war, was too afraid and too worried that he would be burned to death and stoned, so he even made a move to try to escape over the wall and surrender to the Wei army outside the city at night.

Although he was discovered and prevented from being arrested, it has to be said that at such an old age, he still has the physical strength to climb over the city wall and surrender, and he can plan such a risky action, which is really not easy.

Xu Jing's behavior let everyone know that he is not a simple mouth-cannon surrenderer, but a rare action-oriented surrenderer who practices his own concepts and has a practical concept.

After Xu Jing was captured by the defenders, he was taken to the palace and handed over to Liu Zhang for interrogation, Liu Zhang's face was very bad, and he reprimanded Xu Jing very sadly.

"Why did you abandon your orphans? Could it be that Lonely's treatment is not good? The official position of 2,000 stones, there is no shortage of officials, brocade clothes and food, what else do you want? What else does Lone have to give you to keep you? ”

"Your Majesty spares your life! Lao Chen...... Lao Chen just doesn't want to die! ”

Xu Jing knelt on the ground with a pale face and begged for mercy: "The Wei people have stone throwers that can throw huge stones into the city, and it is said that there is also a kind of ghost fire that can be burned without fuel!"

The ghost fire can be burned as long as it is touched, and it cannot be extinguished at all, and the burned person is in great pain, as long as it is burned, he will definitely die! Once the Wei people attack the city with ghost fire, we will all be finished! ”

Xu Jing begged for mercy loudly and cried loudly, making Liu Zhang extremely sad.

"Is that all you want to live? You have always been respected, respected, and famous, but in the end, you are so unbearable! So unethical! Are you worthy of your fame? Are you worthy of the world's respect for you?! ”

Liu Zhang pointed at Xu Jing's nose and scolded.

"Your Majesty! The minister is old! The minister just wants to spend his old age in peace, and the minister really just wants to spend his old age in peace! I don't want to die without a place to bury! Your Majesty! ”

Xu Jing couldn't stop crying, looking really afraid that Liu Zhang would kill him.

Liu Zhang has thoroughly seen through the essence of these so-called celebrities.

It seems that these so-called celebrities are not vain people like Xu Jing, or despicable and shameless people like Guo Peng, how many real celebrities are there?

Then Liu Zhang did not kill Xu Jing, but asked people to send him home to house arrest, and he was not allowed to leave the house.

As soon as such a move came out, the officials in Chengdu knew about Liu Zhang's final decision.

On April 14, the sky was clear, it was a sunny day, and the sun was shining on the Chengdu Plain, making people feel warm all over.

In normal times, the dignitaries and nobles in Chengdu often go out of the city together in such weather.

However, at this moment, the "Qing" outside Chengdu belongs to the Wei army, not to the Chengdu people.

However, the people of Chengdu did not dare to ask for anything, because they knew that if they did not surrender first and went out, once the Wei army did something, even the "life" would not belong to them.

And on this day, the Wei army outside the city delivered a message to the city.

said that Guo Jia, the staff officer of the marching staff of the army, wanted to go into the city to visit Liu Zhang, hoping to be received by Liu Zhang, and he had a lot to say to Liu Zhang.

The people in the city were very surprised when they learned the news, and Liu Zhang himself was even more surprised.

He knows who Guo Jia is.

Guo Peng's clansmen, the children of the Guo Wei royal family, followed Guo Peng to work together very early, had a close relationship, and was also a member of the Yuancong group, one of the staff officers, one of the powerful bigwigs, and the high-level commander of the Wei army on this march.

Not to mention anything else, just a Guo Wei royal family and a close relationship with Guo Peng, such an identity is enough to shake Chengdu City.

In fact, Guo Jia has never regarded the identity of the royal family as heavy, and he has never had the real feeling of becoming a child of the royal family.

He felt that he was just an ordinary old minister, who did his own thing, greedy and lustful, and had a bad reputation among the scholar community.

Especially lustful, and there was a bad behavior of robbing Cao Cao's concubines, which was criticized, so after the founding of the country, Guo Jia was impeached several times by officials of the Ministry of Rites, saying that his misbehavior would affect outsiders' views of the royal family.

But he won Guo Peng's trust, and Guo Peng didn't seem to care about Guo Jia's outrageous behavior at all, but instead had a posture to add fuel to the fire.

He made contributions in the Battle of Jiangdong and the Battle of Jingzhou, this time in the command sequence of the army, Le Jin has to be ranked behind him, he is the actual commander of this army, if Le Jin and his orders are different, Le Jin has to listen to him.

As a result, he actually wanted to enter Chengdu alone, without even bringing his entourage, just to meet Liu Zhang and talk to him, and he didn't seem to have anything else, which surprised Liu Zhang and Shu Han Qunchen.

After intense and eager discussions, Liu Zhang decided to agree to let Guo Jia enter the city, and also let Guo Jia bring no more than ten people to protect his safety.

Guo Jia said that it didn't matter, he could come in alone, and the city gate didn't need to be opened, just throw a basket down from the city tower and lift him up, he didn't care, he believed that Liu Zhang would guarantee his life safety and would not hurt him.

This made Liu Zhang a little embarrassed, and even more nervous, after he ordered to go down, he sent out his own personal guards to greet Guo Jia, saying that they wanted them to protect Guo Jia closely, and if Guo Jia lost a hair, Liu Zhang would punish them.

Guo Jia rode a horse alone and swaggered to the city of Chengdu, and the guards of the Chengdu city gate honestly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

A well-equipped army stepped forward to meet and protect Guo Jia, and showed him the way, so Guo Jia swaggered on horseback, crossed the urn city and the deep city gate, and entered the city of Chengdu.

Chengdu is a city with a long history, prosperity and scale, and its prosperity and scale cannot be compared with even Xiangyang.

Its name is taken from the allusion of "one year and living in Chengdu, two years into Yi, three years in Chengdu", so it is named Chengdu, in addition to Chengdu, there is also such a name as Jinguancheng, because of the brocade of Shu, the former Han Dynasty has a Jinguan Office in Chengdu, so it is named Jinguancheng.

Out of the city gate, the huge Jinguan City is in front of you.

What Guo Jia saw in his eyes was a large-scale city, although he was a little flustered, because the Wei army was besieging the city and there were no people on the streets, but the life of the creatures in this city could be felt.

Du Qiong led Guo Jia through the streets of Chengdu and drove directly to the magnificent and luxurious Chengdu Palace to meet Liu Zhang.

"Yizhou is only a corner of the southwest, but don't you find it difficult to build such a magnificent palace?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhang's palace, and then asked Du Qiong funny, with some ridicule and contempt in his words.

Du Qiong was a little unconvinced, so he refuted Guo Jia with righteous words.

"Wei Tianzi is just the son of the county order, but now he dominates the Central Plains, and I feel difficult for Wei Tianzi in private!"

Guo Jia immediately glanced at this Du Qionggao a few times.

Entering the palace, Liu Zhang was very excited, and he personally went out of the palace gate to greet Guo Jia.

The two had never seen each other, but they had heard of each other's reputations.

Guo Jia used the etiquette of an envoy to meet Liu Zhang, which can be regarded as giving him face, Liu Zhang felt a little at ease, and also took Guo Jia's hand and invited him to sit in the palace, leaving everyone to talk to him alone.
