Liu Duzheng was discussing with Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu, and Fa Zheng to attack Yizhou City, and suddenly someone reported that Ma Chaoxian Yang Bai's head had come to surrender.

Liu Du was overjoyed and said: "Yizhou can be determined!" ”

Liu Du then sent Zhao Yun and Li Hui to greet Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were both heroes and cherished heroes, and immediately laughed and shook hands to express their admiration.

Li Hui said with a smile: "The two generals will talk about it again at the banquet, the lord has set up a feast for Meng Qi to catch the wind and wash the dust!" ”

The three of them laughed and entered Liu Du's military village, and Liu Du personally took Ma Chao into the big tent and received Ma Chao with the gift of a guest. Ma Chao suddenly thanked him and said: "When you meet the Lord today, you will see the blue sky like a cloud!" ”

Looking at Ma Dai and Pang De, the two generals sitting next to Ma Chao, Liu Du's heart blossomed, this is buy one get two free. Liu Du personally toasted Ma Chao and others, and asked Zhuge Liang, Jia Xu and others to meet Ma Chao, so that they could get to know each other.

During the banquet, someone came to report that Shu generals Liu Su and Ma Han led the army out of the city to fight. Ma Chao bowed his hand and said: "Chaofang belongs to the lord, and he has not made an inch, and now he is willing to dedicate these two to the lord!" ”

saw Pound De and said: "He Lao Gongzi came out of the horse, see that I, Pound De beheaded these two people." ”

Liu Du agreed, he also wanted to see Pang De's martial arts, but saw Zhao Yun and said: "Meng Qi has a long journey, and he eats wine here, watch a certain go to the city to capture these two people!" ”

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he retired and got on the horse to lead the army out of the village. Liu Du entertained Ma Chao to drink in the city, and before he had drunk two glasses of wine, Zhao Yun had already beheaded Liu Yu and Ma Han and offered them to the feast.

Ma was shocked, it seemed that Zhao Yun did not do his best when he was fighting with him at that time, and he also respected Zhao Yun very much.

Ma Chao said to Liu Du: "There is no need for the main army to fight with horses, Chao summoned Liu Zhang to surrender." If you refuse to surrender, you will take Chengdu from Ma Dai and Pang De, and dedicate your hands. ”

Liu Du was overjoyed, and he was drunk and happy with everyone on this day.

The next day, Liu Du gave one of his military horses to Ma Chao and asked Ma Chao to lead his troops to besiege Yizhou City. Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses to the north of the city, ordered Ma Dai to guard the village, and Pang De led the troops to the city, and asked Liu Zhang to answer.

Liu Zhang asked in the city: "Ma Meng, what is my Yizhou?" ”

Ma Chao pointed at Liu Zhang with a whip on the horse and said loudly: "I have the ability to Zhang Lubing to save Yizhou, who wants Zhang Lu to listen to Yang Song's slander and want to harm me." Now it has been surrendered to Brother Liu Huang. The prince may bow down to the living beings so that they will not suffer. If you are obsessed, I will attack the city first! ”

Liu Zhang's face was as pale as earth in shock, and he fell into the city with anger. The officials woke up Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang said: "I don't know, how can I regret it!" Why don't you open the door and surrender to save the people of the city. ”

Dong He dissuaded: "There are still more than 30,000 soldiers in the city; Money and grain and grass can be supported for a year, so why will it be reduced? ”

Liu Zhang burst into tears: "My father and son have been in Shu for more than 20 years, and they have no kindness to add to the people; After several years of fighting, my flesh and blood were donated to the grass, and I was guilty. How safe is my heart? It is better to surrender to appease the people. ”

When everyone heard Liu Zhang's words, they all burst into tears. Suddenly, a person behind him said: "The words of the lord are in line with the will of heaven." ”

When everyone saw it, this person's name was Deng Zhi, and the word Bomiao. This person is quite astronomical, Liu Zhang asked Deng Zhi, Deng Zhi said: "One night watching the dry elephant, I saw the stars gathered in Shu County. Its great starlight is like the bright moon, and it is the image of the emperor. A year ago, the little nursery rhyme said, 'If you want to eat a new meal, you must wait for the Lord to come.' This is a sign. It is irreversible to heaven. ”

Huang Quan, Qin Mi and others were furious when they heard the words and wanted to behead Deng Zhi. Liu Zhang blocked everyone. Suddenly: "Shu County is too guarded by Xu Jing and wants to go over the city and surrender." But it didn't work out. Captured by our sergeant. ”

Everyone wanted Liu Zhang to behead Xu Jing, but Liu Zhang thought that Yizhou was about to fall and Xu Jing could not be executed. Liu Zhang cried and returned to the house.

The next day, someone reported that Liu Du sent Liu Ba to call the door under the city. Liu Zhang asked the door to open the door to take him into the city, and Liu Ba sat in the car, proud of everyone. Suddenly, a person pointed a sword at Liu Ba and shouted: "The junior has the ambition, if there is no one around!" You dare to despise the characters in my Shu! ”

Liu Ba hurriedly got out of the car to greet him, the person was a native of Mianzhu in Guanghan, surnamed Qin, named Mi, and the character was E. Liu Ba smiled: "I don't know the virtuous brother, fortunately, don't be responsible." ”

Liu Ba then went in with Qin Mi to see Liu Zhang, and said that Liu Du was generous and generous, and he had no intention of harming Liu Zhang. So Liu Zhang decided to surrender and treat Liu Ba well.

At dawn the next day, Liu Zhang personally held the silk book and went out of the city with Liu Ba to surrender. Liu Du came out of the village to greet him, held Liu Zhang's hand and said with tears: "If I don't do benevolence and righteousness, I have no choice but to do it!" ”

The two entered Dazhai together, handed over the silk books, and entered the city on horseback.

Liu Du entered Yizhou City, and the people were incense, flowers, lamps and candles, and they met the door. Liu Du went to the public hall and sat down. All the officials in the county worshiped under the hall, and only Huang Quan did not come out.

The generals were angry and wanted to go to Huang Quan's mansion to kill him. Liu Du hurriedly sent an order: "If you harm this person, destroy his three clans!" ”

Liu Du came to the door in person, played the emotional card, and invited Huang Quan to come out. Huang Quan was grateful for Liu Du's kindness, so he had no choice but to help.

Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Du said: "Now that Xichuan is pacified, it is difficult to tolerate the two masters: Liu Zhang can be sent to Jingzhou." ”

Liu Du sighed: "I have Shu County, but I can't make Ji Yu go away." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Liu Zhang's loss of foundation is due to his weak ears. If the lord is undecided, with the kindness of a woman, I am afraid that this land will not last long. ”

Liu Du listened to Zhuge Liang's suggestion, set up a big banquet, asked Liu Zhang to pack up his belongings, wear the seal of General Zhenwei, and ordered his wife, concubines and children to be sent to the Nanjun Public Security to live and rest, and leave immediately.

After Liu Zhang surrendered, Xu Jing was released, and Liu Du looked down on Xu Jing because of Xu Jing's betrayal of the master, and did not appoint him.

But seeing that Fa Zheng persuaded Liu Du to say: "There are many people in the world who have false names and no real virtues, like Xu Jing. However, now that the lord has started to create a great cause, the people of the world should not make it known, and Xu Jing's false name has spread to the world, if he can't be treated politely, the people of the world will say that the lord is cheap and virtuous. Therefore, Xu Jing should be treated with respect, so as to show that the lord is following the example of King Gu Yanzhao to treat Guo Kui. ”

Liu Du then treated and appointed Xu Jing as the chief historian.

Liu Du led the Yizhou pastor, feasted on the soldiers, and took Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu as the generals of the military division, and rewarded the meritorious generals for their meritorious deeds and increased the rank of knight. At the same time, he adopted Liu Ba's suggestion, minted 100 coins, opened an official market, stabilized prices, resumed production, and soon consolidated his dominant position in Yizhou.

The subordinates and the civil and military forces surrendered to Sichuan, all of them were rewarded, and the names were determined: Ma Chao was the general of Pingxi, Yan Yan was the former general, Zhang Ren was the general of Zhaoyi, Fa Zheng was the Taishou of Shu County, and Huo Jun was the Taishou of Zitong and General Pi. Dong He is the general in charge of the army, Pang Yi is the Sima in the battalion, Liu Ba is the left general, and Huang Quan is the right general.

The rest of Wu Yi, Fei Guan, Fei Shi, Peng Yi, Zhuo Ying, Li Yan, Wu Lan, Lei Tong, Li Hui, Zhang Yi, Zhang Wei, Qin Mi, Lu Yi, Deng Zhi, Yang Hong, Zhou Qun, Fei Yi, Meng Da, and civil and military surrender officials were also promoted.

Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu are military generals, Zhao Yun is the general of Dangkou, Li Wei is the general of the conquest, Zhao Feng is the general of Zhenyuan, Wen is the general of the expedition, and Pan Feng is the general of Yangwu. Wu Ban, Liao Hua, Ma Liang, Ma Tan, Jiang Wan, Yi and other civil and military officials in Jingxiang in the old days were all rewarded.

He sent 500 catties of gold, 1,000 catties of silver, 50 million catties of money, and 1,000 horses of Shu Mian to Nanjun. The rest of the officials and generals will each have their own rewards. Cattle were slaughtered and horses were slaughtered, soldiers were rewarded, warehouses were opened to help the people, and the army and the people celebrated.

After Yizhou was pacified, Liu Du was ready to give the famous field house in Yizhou City to the officials and generals. Zhao Yun admonished: "The people of Yizhou have been repeatedly attacked by war, and their fields and houses are empty; Now it should be returned to the people, so that the people can live and resume their business, and the people will be satisfied; It is not advisable to take it away as a private reward. ”

Jia Xu, who had been watching coldly, also opened his mouth at this time: "What General Zilong said is extremely true. Because Yizhou was under the rule of Liu Zhang, the law and discipline were lax, the morality and politics were not raised, and the punishment was not suppressed. It is necessary to formulate regulations for governing the country as soon as possible, and to impose strict punishments on the law. ”

Liu Du deeply agreed, so he ordered the military division general Zhuge Liang, Shu County Tai Shou Fazheng, Zhaowen general Yi, Zuo general Xi Cao Peng, Liu Ba and Li Yan to formulate the "Shu Branch" as a temporary law.

After Han Xuan learned that Liu Du had annexed Xichuan, he was not too surprised, and Chen Wu even asked Han Xuan for his life: while Liu Du's foothold in Xichuan was not stable, Jiangdong led a large army to the west to annex Liu Du.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao, Hua Xin and the others agreed with Chen Wu's proposal, and Han Xuan knew what they were going to do. If they lead a large army to the west, they will be able to sabotage Jiangdong, and the new policy that has just been implemented will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Han Xuan immediately vetoed Chen Wu's proposal and said to everyone: "Fang Jin, Cao Cao is in the north, and Liu Bei is in the south. I Jiangdong has just raised a new policy, and the internal affairs are unstable, if I march west, Cao Cao and Liu Bei will take advantage of the situation to enter. If you don't repair the political affairs internally, you will take the opportunity to expand in the south. Liu Du takes Xichuan, Cao Cao will definitely not sit back and watch it grow, just wait for the two tigers to fight, but my Jiangdong will sit and reap the benefits! ”
