Liu Zhang never expected it.

Under such circumstances, there are still people who can come up with such a strategy and try to restore the situation to the state before the war.

Liu Zhang thought about it and felt that this strategy was more likely to be implemented than the grand strategy that Zhang Su thought of with a pat on his head, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that doing so was simply a death struggle.

"Our army only has 5,000 soldiers to fight, and there are no other soldiers to fight, so if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that even the cooks in Chengdu will be sent to the battlefield, and they have reached this point, can they continue to fight?"

Liu Zhang sighed and shook his head again and again.

Zheng Du knelt on the ground and begged Liu Zhang.

"Your Majesty is the last descendant of the Han family, is the last hope in the hearts of the people in the world, whether Your Majesty insists or not, it is of great significance to the heroes of the world, and for the people who have the Han family, Your Majesty is their greatest sustenance!

As long as His Majesty insists, people who have the Han family in their hearts will not identify with the Wei State, they will regard the Wei State as a puppet dynasty, and if they do not agree, that is the opportunity of our Han! If it really comes to the last moment, no one is willing to fight for Your Majesty, although the minister is powerless, he is also willing to throw his pen and fight for His Majesty! ”

Zheng Du said goodbye.

Zheng Du's attitude made Liu Zhang's bleak heart flash a trace of warmth.

Liu Zhang also thought about whether it was feasible to do so, and whether he should fight to the death.

After thinking about it for a long, long time, Liu Zhang shook his head.

"My father and son have been in Shuzhong for more than ten years, and they have not been able to bring a better life to the people of Shuzhong, and now the situation has reached a point, and it will cause them to be displaced, lose their homes and properties, this is not what a master should do, Zheng Qing's kindness, I already know, but I must not use such a strategy."

Zheng Du's face was full of anxiety, and before he could say more, Liu Zhang shook his head directly.

"I have made up my mind, I will never do this, Zheng Qing doesn't need to say it anymore."

"But Your Majesty, if you don't do this, the four hundred years of the Han dynasty will really be over! Four hundred years of Han mountains and rivers, the Han dynasty created by Gaozu, is it really going to end? Does Your Majesty really not care? ”

Zheng Du looked sad and indignant: "Doesn't Your Majesty care about the difficulties of the ancestors in starting a business?" Don't you care about the difficulties of Guangwu Zhongxing my Han? ”

"If Providence wants to replace Han with Wei, what is the point of my insistence? Zheng Qing, what's the point of your insistence? Didn't you see it on the way here? How many are there who are impatient to make me surrender? And how many are as willing to advise me as you are? ”

Liu Zhang's face was full of sadness: "Guo Wei has occupied four-fifths of the world, we have no good generals inside, no reinforcements outside, the situation has reached this point, it is caused by my loss of morality, it is caused by my father and son losing people's hearts, and if you survive, it will only harm the lives of Shu, this is not something I want to see, Zheng Qing, don't persuade me anymore." ”

Liu Zhang shook his head again and again, as if he was ready to surrender in his heart.

"The Wei thieves are still hundreds of miles away from Chengdu, if they send people to resist along the way, it will take them a month to reach Shu County at the earliest, why did Your Majesty give up on himself? The minister thinks that it is wrong for His Majesty to do this! Your Majesty, please fight! Please reject the enemy for Your Majesty and resist humiliation for Your Majesty! ”

Zheng Du kowtowed heavily, making Liu Zhang's heart sad, relieved and helpless.

"When the situation is at the end of the road, I can see a person's sincerity, Zheng Qing loves me, I already know, but if for my own selfishness, let more people in Shuzhong die, I really can't accept it, the battle has reached this time, tens of thousands of young people have died, and they can't continue......"

Liu Zhang sighed in tears, ignoring Zheng Du's repeated dissuasion, and refused to adopt Zheng Du's strategy of clearing the wilderness.

Zheng Du left Liu Zhang's palace with a depressed face.

After returning home, he was silent for three days, and then wrote a resignation form, resigning his official position to Liu Zhang, and stating that he was a Han minister and would not be a Wei official.

Then Zheng Du did not wait for Liu Zhang's approval, so he left Chengdu with his wife and children, returned to his hometown in Guanghan, and began a life of seclusion.

Zheng Du chose not to be a man for the rest of his life for the persistence in his heart, and later when he died, he was buried in the clothes of a Han official, to show that he would not be Wei Chen for the rest of his life, not eat Wei Lu, and die as a Han Chen.

When Zheng Du was disheartened, the demise of Shu Han could no longer be stopped and there was no need to stop it.

The main battle faction gradually became divided, and the more enlightened ones, like Zhang Song and Zhang Su, began to run for themselves, and the rigid ones left Chengdu like Zheng Du, waiting for the last moment to come.

No one proposed the idea of the main battle to Liu Zhang, and no one thought that Liu Zhang suggested how to resist the invasion of the Wei army, and everyone was running for themselves.

As the Wei army approached step by step, the end of Shu Han was also approaching step by step.

Liu Zhang was unwilling to resist by the most effective method, but only ordered the generals Xiang Cun and Fu Ban to lead the last army to consolidate the city defense of Chengdu, arrange the city wall to defend the ordnance, and carry out the final protection of Chengdu.

Then he ordered the garrisons of the four counties in the south to go north and rush to Chengdu to try to protect Chengdu, and then he himself retreated in Chengdu, without making any resistance, and waited for the last moment in fear.

If you want to talk about resistance, the resistance strategy he made is weak, and if you want to say surrender, he makes a gesture of self-preservation.

In a sense, Liu Zhang is not suitable for survival in troubled times, but if he is in a stable era, he can be a qualified king.

Le Jin and Guo Jia led the army to continue to advance, constantly destroying the defenses of the Shu Han army along the way, capturing the city, or recovering the city, all the way smoothly without encountering any decent obstacles.

After occupying Deyang County and Guanghan County in succession, the Wei army broke away from the water system and began to march towards Yu County.

On the third day of the fourth month, the Wei army entered and arrived in Yu County, and the county order of Yu County was to defend the city and not open the city gate.

The Wei army then warned him with a trebuchet that fired stone projectiles and earth-shattering thunder.

An hour later, the county order of Yuxian County was united by fifteen large families in the city and sent out, and the city surrendered.

The county commander of Yunxian County scolded the big families in the city for betraying the Han family, betraying the lord and joining the thief, and also scolded Le Jin and Guo Jia for being thieves, and also scolded Guo Peng for being a thief, because the words were too ugly, so he was ordered to be beheaded by Le Jin.

Subsequently, the Wei army entered and occupied Yun County, opened the road to Chengdu, and there was no danger to defend on the open road of Pingchuan, and there was nothing to stop the advance of the Wei army.

On the fifth day of the fourth month, Liu Zhang was very frightened when he learned that Yu County was lost, and he stayed in the palace without thinking about tea and dinner, and his brain was blank.

The ministers of the surrender faction wrote one after another, strongly urging Liu Zhang to go to the emperor and surrender on his own initiative, which has changed from the original request to a semi-forced nature.

If you don't make a decision, we're going to take action.

Liu Zhang ignored this and had no attitude, and the so-called Qinwang army did not have any trace, and there were only 5,000 lone guards in Chengdu.

Grain, grass and various materials are not very scarce, and there are still many collected and not yet sent, so they can last for a year.

But there is no point in saying this at this time.

On April 11, the main force of the Wei army, which marched rapidly without any hindrance, arrived near Chengdu and, after sweeping the military strongholds near Chengdu, surrounded Chengdu.

There was chaos in the city of Chengdu, everyone panicked, hid at home and did not dare to come out, the ministers of the court and China gathered in the palace, asking Liu Zhang to care for their lives and lead them to surrender.

Liu Zhang closed his door, couldn't make any decisions, and didn't know what he should do.

On April 13, the Wei army completed the encirclement tactics, gained a firm foothold, and settled the trebuchet, a fierce siege posture, Chengdu City was even more panicked.
