"Your Majesty, if the Wei army uses His Majesty as a hostage to force the general and His Royal Highness the King of Anding to retreat, Your Majesty must not beg for mercy, and should take a tough attitude, even at the cost of the king's death."

As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, Huang Hao scolded:

"Zhou Zhou! What is your heart? Do you intend to kill Your Majesty? ”

Liu Chan waved his hand to ask Huang Hao to stop talking, Huang Hao suddenly stopped drumming, and at this time Liu Chan couldn't help but ask in person:

"Chen Aiqing, if I have a tough attitude and annoys Wei Jun, will Wei Jun kill me to vent his anger?"

Qian Zhou shook his head, seeing that Liu Chan was not at ease, and explained:

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, if you grovel and lose the majesty of the Son of Heaven in the hearts of the soldiers of the Han army, then leaving the Son of Heaven will be dispensable for the Wei army, and it will really be in danger when the time comes."

After Chen Zhou finished speaking, Liu Chan's face was already a little embarrassed, and he asked again:

"Then if I am tougher, how can the Wei army not kill me?"

Qian Zhou replied again: "Your Majesty must not only be tough, but also show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and encourage the Han soldiers outside the city, Deng Ai and Shi Su are not reckless people, if you kill Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Anding will inherit the unification, the Han army comes with revenge and anger, this Wei army must not survive, so I conclude that Deng Ai will not kill Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Chan hesitated, thought for a while, and said, "There is nothing to do now, let's give it a try!" ”

Huang Hao couldn't bear it anymore at this time, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Chan and said:

"Your Majesty is the king of a country, how can you risk your life!"

Liu Chan smiled bitterly and helped Huang Hao up, sighed and said:

"Where is there any king of a country, now he is just a prisoner of the ranks, I and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as my Liu Emperor who dares to die for the country, I am already ashamed and embarrassed to surrender the city, I am sorry for the first emperor, and I am sorry for my father, I have been cowardly all my life, and I should be tough again."

Since Chengdu City was besieged by the Han army, Liu Chan has lived a hard life, and his heart has indeed changed somewhat, Qian Zhou looked at Liu Chan at this time, nodded with satisfaction, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Shou fell to the ground with the other officials, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

On the west gate of Chengdu, looking at Deng Ai, who had just been killed from the Han army outside, Shi Su was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

Seeing Deng Ai leading the Wei army to retreat to the gate of the city, Shi Su hurriedly instructed the soldiers next to him:

"Quickly lower the drawbridge and open the gates for the general to enter the city!"

The gate of Chengdu slowly opened, Deng Ai did not dare to hesitate for a moment, and rushed into the city on a single horse, and the Wei army behind squeezed into the city like crazy.

Jiang Wei followed closely behind the Wei army in pursuit, and watched Deng Ai enter the city, and immediately slapped his thigh, and said bitterly: "Hey! It's still a step too late, leaving Deng Ai outside the city, and this Chengdu City is within reach! ”

Although Deng Ai had already run away, there were still nearly 4,000 Wei troops outside the city, and they did not pour in, and eating this Wei army could greatly weaken the strength of the Wei army in the city, Jiang Wei immediately led the army to besiege and kill the Wei army that had not yet entered the city.

Zhang Zun and Luo Raid have also been killed, each leading a partial army from the left and right to take the opportunity to break into the city, Moon Shadow was injured and could only stay with Zhang Yi of the rear army to be safer, Zhang Zun did not dare to let her go to the battlefield again.

As soon as Deng Ai entered Chengdu City, he quickly walked to the city, and when he saw Deng Ai returning safely, Shi Shu breathed a sigh of relief, if Deng Ai had three long and two short, it would be all over.

Zhang Zun and Luo Xi's two partial divisions were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and seeing that they were about to kill the west city gate, Shi Su hurriedly ordered the sergeant: "Hurry! Close the gates! ”

The sergeant immediately went to lead people to put away the drawbridge, but the Wei army stuck in the city gate became more and more crowded and crowded, and the city gate could not be closed at all.

Seeing this, Shi Su was anxious, a fierce look flashed, and he gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Shoot them and shut the gates!"

Deng Ai saw that there were still nearly 4,000 Wei soldiers outside who did not come in, and Shi Su was going to shoot the Wei army robe stuck in the city gate, and he was immediately furious and said, "Stop! The robes haven't come in yet, so why are the gates closed? ”

Deng Ai has always loved soldiers like a son, and Shi Su's practice is to touch his reverse scales, if Shi Su goes to shoot the Wei soldiers in the city gate, Deng Ai is afraid that he will really behead him.

Shi Su didn't dare to continue to order, so he had to beg Deng Ai and said, "General! If you don't close the city gate again, the Han army will come in! I'm going to give up all my efforts! ”

Deng Ai also quickly stabilized his emotions, but still said resolutely: "No matter what method you use, even if Chengdu City falls, you and I will die here, you can't do anything to your robe!" ”

These words spread throughout the city tower in an instant, and the eyes of the Wei soldiers were red, Deng Ai, like them, was born in a poor family, although Deng Ai's Jianyang Deng clan was a member of the family, but the family background declined, and he also went from herding cattle to today's status step by step, and never forgot his roots.

At this moment, all these Wei soldiers thought about was following a general like Deng Ai, and they had no regrets when they died.

Shi Su saw that Deng Ai was too stubborn, and knew that he couldn't bear to do it because he cared about the soldiers, so he could only think of other ways, so he thought about it quickly and said to Deng Ai:

"The general cherishes his soldiers, and he understands that now he can only sacrifice Liu Chan to coerce the Han army to retreat, and he should be killed as a last resort, and he can't be rescued by the Han army in vain!"

At this time, there was no other way, hearing Shi Su's proposal, Deng Ai didn't care about his reputation, he was more concerned about the lives of his subordinates than Chengdu City, but he was more concerned about the gains and losses of Chengdu City than his personal reputation.

Pondering slightly, he asked Shi Su, "What about Tian Xu?" Call him to me! ”

Tian Xu used to be a general of Zhong Hui, and later because he offended Zhong Hui, he was sent to Deng Ai's army as a quartermaster, and after taking Chengdu City, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials under house arrest in the palace were handed over to Tian Xu to guard.

Hearing Deng Ai's question, Shi Su hurriedly replied: "The east gate of Chengdu is in an emergency, and General Tian has taken the guards to support the east gate!" ”

Deng Ai regained his former composure, and began to command the sergeants beside him: "Assign the five hundred guards of the West Gate to the East Gate to support, and order Tian Xu to take the guards to escort Liu Chan to the West City Gate!" ”

"No!" The sergeant took the order and departed.

At this moment, the palace is extremely dull, everyone is quietly waiting for the results of the battle outside, this time the movement is so big, the Wei army guards who take care of them are all pulled to the city to support, presumably the Han army outside is really moving.

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps sounded outside the palace gate.

"Bang!" Bang.

Tian Xu wore black armor and smashed open the palace gate, and he fought at the East City Gate just now, and Tian Xu's body was also splashed with blood, which was extremely hideous.

A team of Wei army armor soldiers rushed into the palace gate with blades in hand, and Tian Xu walked straight to Liu Chan with a saber in hand.

The crown prince Liu Rui and the emerging king Liu Sui immediately blocked in front of Liu Chan, Liu Rui was so frightened that his teeth trembled, but he still stiffened his head and asked Tian Xu sharply:

"What do you want?"
