"Mr. Xu......"
Yan Yan is a veteran in the army, and having him to suppress the formation can naturally stabilize the army's morale, which is why Xu Shu suggested that he should be in charge of the army.
"General Yan?"
Xu Shu rode on the war horse, feeling a little restless.
"The old man heard that it was the gentleman who recommended the old man to His Majesty to command the army......"
Yan Yan had already received Liu Bei's secret edict before he set out on the expedition, so he naturally knew that they were going to surrender.
"Not bad!"
Xu Shu was pulled back from his thoughts by Yan Yan's words, glanced at the tens of thousands of troops behind him, and nodded in response.
"The families of these people are all in Chengdu, or they are all near Chengdu, and only by taking them away can we maintain the combat effectiveness of the Shu army!"
Hearing Xu Shu's words, Yan Yan nodded clearly, but ...... He was also a little worried.
"Since Sir knows that these people are concerned and unwilling to fight the Wei army, aren't you afraid that they will really surrender to the Wei army?"
Yan Yan's worries are not unreasonable, they are just ......
Xu Shu didn't expect that the problem that Liu Bei didn't expect would be seen by this general who only knew how to march and fight.
"The soldiers are thinking about Shu Kingdom, but they are just worried about their families in the city, but if Your Majesty can lead a large army to rescue Chengdu, they will naturally not fight back!"
As if remembering something, Xu Shu carefully explained the whole process to Yan Yan.
"When you go to Chengdu, you must be cautious, that Pang Tong is not an ordinary person!"
Hearing what Xu Shu said solemnly, Yan Yan naturally nodded solemnly.
"Sir...... But are you worried about Xu's mother's well-being? โ
Yan Yan pondered for a moment, and finally said it, he was a military general, and he couldn't hide his words in his heart.
"General Yan...... You...... Got it? Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this.
"I undoubtedly heard it before I left!" Yan Yan didn't hide it.
"Yes! Your Majesty is afraid that there will be no one to take care of your mother, so she is sent to the army! โ
Xu Shu sighed and replied without sadness or joy.
"This ......"
Yan Yan was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
Xu Shu has been in Chengdu for many years, and his filial piety is famous, and he has never been disobedient to his mother, but he is a great filial son.
And Liu Bei was obviously afraid that Xu Shu would have two hearts, so he quietly rescued his mother, saying that he was saving but was actually just a hostage.
"Alas! Sir, don't think about it, the old man heard that the Huo Yan Division lost eighteen lives for this, as long as we can take Chengdu, Your Majesty will naturally treat the Xu family well! โ
Yan Yan didn't know how to comfort Xu Shu, as the emperor, Liu Bei took the minister's family as a hostage, which was not wrong, but Liu Bei did it too deliberately, and anyone would be uncomfortable.
"Chengdu is coming!"
Xu Shu didn't want to dwell on this issue, Liu Bei was able to send someone to catch his mother, who could guarantee that the people around him didn't have the right eyes and ears!
โฆโฆ
Chengdu.
Huang Hao stood beside Pang Tong and told the news in Chengdu in detail, and even the secret things behind those families, he could count them.
Pang Tong listened and nodded constantly, sure enough, the wicked still need the wicked to grind, and I am afraid that only Huang Hao can know about these messy things.
"Lord Huang is deaf and clear-sighted, and he really knows Chengdu well!" Pang Tong praised loudly.
"Master Pang laughed, everyone in the world knows that Huang Hao is a treacherous villain, and many of these unsightly things in Chengdu City are still conspiring with him!"
Huang Hao said indifferently, with a hearty smile on his face.
"Hmm!"
Pang Tong nodded silently, and asked some more about the reaction of the people in Chengdu, until he confirmed that the people's hearts were appeased well, and he was relieved.
"Mr. Pang, the envoy sent to the Shu army has not returned so far, it seems that it is ......"
"Hahaha...... Pang Chou ......"
Before Huang Hao's words were finished, there was a hearty laugh outside.
Belch?
Pang Chou!
Huang Hao blinked, and said in his heart that Pang Tongchang was indeed not beautiful, but who dared to shout it in public? Curious, he turned to look.
Da Da Da ......
Ma Chao hurriedly took three steps and walked in two, but suddenly found that there were still outsiders present, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Ahem! Why is the general so pleased? Pang Tong glared at the other party and reminded the other party angrily.
"Hey! The Shu army is here, just five miles away from the city! โ
Ma Chao pinched the envelope in his hand and said happily.
"I'm here to surrender!"
Then, Pang Tongyi's words made the other party's smile freeze.
Belch?
Ma Chao was dumbfounded, before he said it, the other party knew.
"Oh, looking at the general's appearance, it's obvious that he guessed correctly, the terrible Xu Shu invited by the leader?"
"Goo-dong!"
Hearing Pang Tong's words, Ma Chao swallowed his saliva vigorously and glared at the other party dumbfounded.
"You...... Do you even know that? โ
Ma Chao leaned towards Pang Tong and asked with curiosity on his face.
"Ahem...... Something to say......"
Seeing that the other party's nose was about to touch his own nose, Pang Tong was so frightened that he hurriedly took two steps back and coughed twice.
"There are not only civil and military officials in Chengdu, but also hundreds of thousands of people, and many of these people have family members in the Shu army!"
Pang Tong quickly explained to the other party, and glanced at the other party vigilantly, for fear that the other party would pounce again.
"Oh~ I see, this is a book sent by Xu Shu!"
In fact, nothing stands up to scrutiny, and you may be shocked when you don't know the truth, but once the veil of mystery is lifted, things become boring.
This is not!
Ma Chao instantly lost his interest when he heard Pang Tong's words, sat on the chair, and threw the letter of surrender to the other party.
"Xu Shu led more than 10,000 Shu troops to surrender, what should we do?"
"Open the door and greet!"
Pang Tong said directly.
"Aren't you afraid of the other party's deception? That's more than 10,000 people! โ
Ma Chao looked at Pang Tong suspiciously, this was a bit like the other party's cautious style.
"Xu Shu, an upright gentleman, I believe in him!"
Facing Ma Chao's questioning, Pang Tong said firmly.
"Xu Shu was able to come down, if you and I don't have the courage to accept it, wouldn't it make people laugh?
What's more, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others are leading the army to come at this moment, if they know that we are strong outside, I am afraid that this Chengdu City will not be able to wait for the army to come! โ
"So...... Do you have to welcome them into the city? โ
"Of course! If we don't open the city gate, the Shu army will definitely suspect that we have killed their families! โ
"Hmm!"
Ma Chao nodded, admitting that what Pang Tong said made sense.
"So and then we will arrange the stationing place of the Shu army, and their actions must be under the supervision of our army!"
This is Ma Chao's bottom line, and he can't risk the lives of his brothers.
"Naturally!"
Pang Tong nodded in agreement with the other party's suggestion, and turned to Huang Hao and commanded. "Lord Huang, Xu Shu led the army to surrender, the feast that should be there is indispensable, this matter is up to you to prepare, remember to prepare enough wine and meat, so that the soldiers can share it!"
