Mianzhou was lost, the heavily garrisoned Lutouguan and Wanshengdui were lost, Hanzhou was lost again, Chengdu had no danger to defend, although there were tens of thousands of troops, but the morale plummeted to below zero, and they did not wait for the enemy to attack, and they collapsed first.

Liu Bi hated Lu Wenruo for making a mistake, no longer paid attention to him, and convened a meeting of generals, but when the time came, he found that except for Lu Wenruo, who was uninvited, none of the generals from the five prefectures were present, and Liu Bi cried.

Lu Wenruo persuaded: "The people's hearts have been lost, Chengdu is no longer able to defend it, Ming Gong should go to Tubo, just want to have a foothold, and there will still be a chance to make a comeback in the future." ”

Liu Pi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and asked repeatedly: "Will Tubo accept me, back then, I fought with them with the commanders." A sea of blood and hatred. ”

Lu Wenruo said: "At this time and that time, in the future, our common enemies are those traitors of the Chang'an court, and Tubo will help us." ”

Liu Bi wiped his tears, smiled, went home and told his old wife and son to clean up the softness, only said to the outside world that he was going to patrol the city, changed to short brown, and ran out of the west gate to the northwest, Lu Wenruo also took his wife to follow left and right.

Gao Chongwen heard that someone was fleeing westward, and exclaimed: "It's not that Liu Pi wants to vote for Tibet." ”

Urgently ordered Gao Xiayu to pursue, Gao Xiayu was full of desire to fight Chengdu, and was not interested in pursuing a small group of fleeing enemies, pouted, and sent the deputy general to chase after Tong, Yu Tong chased halfway, and suddenly broke out of a team of men and horses in the northeast, waving the banner of the Tang Army, and was very urgent.

Yu Tong was about to ask the military number, and thousands of arrows were fired, Yu Tong died under the horse, and his subordinates were scattered, most of them were killed, and a small number escaped.

The Tang army succeeded Yu Tong and continued the pursuit, catching up with Liu Pi in the sheep irrigation field forty miles west of Chengdu.

There is a surging river behind him, and there are chasing soldiers in the front, and Liu Pi has no way out. A person flashed out of the chasing soldiers, with a purple robe and a gold belt, and shouted loudly: "I am Li Mao, the pacification envoy of Liangchuan, and the traitor Liu Pi, and I don't quickly dismount and be bound." ”

Liu Pi was shocked and wanted to get off the horse and surrender, but was pulled by Lu Wenruo, Lu Wenruo laughed miserably: "Shrinking your head is a death, stretching your head is also a death, Ming Gong, before you die, can't you be hard?" ”

Liu Pi snorted: "Hard? No matter how hard you are, you still can't escape death. ”

Seeing that Liu Bi had not surrendered for a long time, a Jinjia general shouted sharply: "Capture and kill Liu Bi, reward 10,000 taels, and be a five-grade official." ”

Yan Yan raised a crossbow arrow in his hand, and the arrow flew past Liu Bi's ears and temples, Liu Bi was so frightened that he screamed and fell off his horse. Not to be outdone, Lu Wenruo shot Li Mao with a bow, Li Mao lowered his head to avoid, the arrow grazed Hu Chuan's ear, Hu Chuan's face did not change, his body did not move, everyone was boasting about his kind, but Hu Chuan screamed loudly, and wanted to escape.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Mo made the first move and stabbed him in the buttocks, the horse was in pain and galloped forward, Han Yi took the opportunity to shout to kill the enemy, and protected Hu Chuan to charge hard.

Short encounters, arrows rained down, people roared, and knights fell to the ground.

Li Mao shouted not to hurt Liu Pi and Lu Wenruo, but few responded. The knights who are guarding him on his left and right are the elite of the elite of Zuo Shence, and the general Li Dingjin is even more courageous, and his archery is accurate to the point that he will kill whoever he says.

The only inconvenient place is that Li Mao can't move him a little.

Liu Pi saw that the general trend had gone, and abandoned his horse to join the river. There had just been a heavy rain, the river was muddy, Liu Pi was trapped in the mud by the riverside, and it was difficult to walk, first stripped off his armor, and then lost his head, his hair was scattered, his face was covered with mud, and he was embarrassed.

Qin Mo jumped off the horse and galloped to the river, undressing and taking off his armor while running, picking up grass roots, stepping on muddy ground like hard ground, and plunging into the river first, wanting to cut off Liu Bi's way, but suddenly found that he couldn't swim, so he shouted for help.

Li Dingjin knows how to water, but the armor on his body is too thick, if he jumps, he must sink.

Seeing this, Li Mao took off his purple robe, rushed to the riverside, pounced on the spot, made his body into a skateboard, slid through the muddy ground, and ran into the river. Although the river is muddy, the wind and waves are not big, and Li Mao can open it at his mercy.

Liu Pi knows how to water, people who know water want to drown, the difficulty is greater than that of people who can't water, and they are trying to sink down, but their hair is grabbed by Li Mao, Li Mao pulls his hair, strangles his neck, and drags him to the shore.

Over there, Qin Mo struggled desperately, fluttering hard, and shouted repeatedly: "Brother Mao, save me, save me!" ”

Li Mao roared angrily: "You stand up for me, stand up." ”

Qin Mo stood up and found that the river had only just overflowed his thighs.

Liu Bi drank a few sips of muddy water, laughed miserably, shouted that he couldn't live, and when he saw that he couldn't die, he begged Li Mao: "I'm defeated, I deserve to die, you can kill me, don't let me go to Chang'an to suffer." ”

Li Mao didn't have the idea of "helping" him, but he finally held back.

Li Dingjin, who was standing on the shore, threw a hemp rope to Li Mao, Li Mao tied Liu Pi, and everyone dragged Liu Pi to the shore with all their hands and feet. Li Dingjin wiped Liu Bi's face, let a Xichuan general identify it, and learned that it was indeed Liu Pi himself, so he waved his hand and let people take it down.

Several soldiers who knew how to water went into the water and helped Li Mao to the shore, this toss in the river, Li Mao was exhausted, sitting on the aquatic plants by the river and panting, Qin Mo came over, sat on the ground, went backwards, and slept on his back, but he laughed.

Li Mao kicked him, and Qin Mo turned over and continued to laugh.

Suddenly, not far away, several soldiers were tying a boy with a stone and throwing it into the river, Li Mao asked why.

Li Dingjin said: "General Hugh wants to ask more, and if you ask, I can't reply to you." ”

Li Mao pushed Li Dingjin away and wanted to stop the two soldiers, but he heard a "poof", mud splashes, and the little boy was already submerged in the surging river.

At this time, another team of soldiers carried Lu Wenruo to the river, and Li Mao stopped the soldiers with a gloomy face. Lu Wenruo was tied like a Dragon Boat Festival zongzi, and he stuffed sackcloth balls in his mouth.

All the soldiers didn't dare to stop Li Mao, and they didn't dare to leave, they all looked at Li Dingjin to ask for ideas, but Li Dingjin turned around and pretended not to see it.

Li Mao pulled out the cloth stuffed in Lu Wenruo's mouth and asked, "Why do you have to die?" ”

Lu Wenruo burst into tears, and said with blank eyes: "Strange injustices through the ages, who can sue." He turned his face sideways and didn't say anything again, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth.

A small colonel tried to pull Lu Wenruo, and when he saw that Li Mao did not stop him, he made a look, and several soldiers moved their heads and feet, carried Lu Wenruo to the river quickly, tied a stone to his waist with his hands and feet, and threw it into the river.

With a pop, a wave rose on the turbid river, and Lu Wenruo did not rise and fall, and sank directly to the bottom of the river.

The remnants of Yu Tong, who were shot and killed by Li Ding, reported back to Gao Xiayu, Gao Xiayu was shocked, and hurriedly led the light cavalry to chase after him, chased him to the sheep irrigation field, and saw Li Mao grabbing Liu Pi and walking back, and he regretted it for a while.

Li Mao said generously: "If it weren't for General Gao to drive people over, I wouldn't have this good luck, this is just like a hunt, you and I have our own division of labor, and we all have merit." ”

Gao Xiayu exclaimed: "Do you still have my share of this credit?" ”

Li Mao said: "How about you and General Li Dingjin for this credit?" ”

Li Dingjin said: "I have a lot of credit, but I just picked up a cheap halfway, and the great credit should be attributed to the appeasement envoy." ”

Li Mao said: "I'm just using my mouth, and the real sword and gun is still General Li Dingjin." ”

The two of them are here, you humble me and let me, Gao Xiayu was anxious to scratch her heart, and couldn't help but shout: "The two of you listen to a certain word, and simply divide this credit into four, appease the envoy, General Li Dingjin and a certain one point each, and the rest will be divided equally among the soldiers." How is it? ”

Qin Mo shouted: "No, I'm waiting for a body of mud, how can I have such a little credit?" ”

Everyone echoed the voice, Li Mao and Li Dingjin's people, Gao Xiayu didn't dare to scold, so he had to smirk and be stunned.

Li Mao said with a smile: "As a pacification envoy, I should have been in Chengdu at this moment, but I shouldn't be here, and I don't want any credit for this." Let it all be divided among the soldiers. ”

Everyone was overjoyed. Li Dingjin also wanted to shirk it, but he didn't succeed. Gao Xiayu became a big hero in capturing Liu Pi with a cheeky face.

……

After Liu Pi fled, the dragons in Chengdu were leaderless, and the noble civil soldiers entered the city without blood. Immediately put up a list of Anmin, and Qiu did not commit any crimes. He also received the silver treasury, granary, several shogunates, prefecture and county yamen, and barracks, and pasted them with seals and stickers, waiting for Li Mao's inspection.

Hearing that Gao Xiayu captured Liu Pi under his command, Gao Xiayu was overjoyed, and heard that this credit was given by Li Mao and Li Dingjin, Gao Chongwen was grateful, respectful in front of Li Mao, and did not dare to claim to be a hero.

Li Maoling gathered all the staff of Liu Pi's old ministry in front of the Xichuan Jiedu Embassy, read out the emperor's edict, pardoned most of them, and killed only a few who dared to resist.

After the general Xichuan was captured, he also instigated a mutiny in the camp, resulting in the loss of dozens of people in the Gao Chongwen Department, and the officials were extremely angry.

When Lin Yun was an official, he was upright, fair and selfless, Su Pimao admired him very much, and after arriving in Tangchang, he listened to the people praise Lin Yun's diligence and love for the people, so he informed Lin Yun to take refuge in Xichuan quickly, returned to Chengdu by himself, and asked Liu Pi for his guilt.

Liu Pi was furious and wanted to kill him, but fortunately Lu Wenruo interceded, so he was temporarily spared from death, and he was put in prison for a while, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded. Lin Yun learned that Su Pimao was imprisoned because of himself, dressed in sackcloth, with his hair scattered, and went to the prison to wait for death with Su Pimao.

Li Mao felt his loyalty, pardoned the two, and hired Lin Yun as the commander of Zuo Longxiang's army, and Su Pimao was the head of the military justice department.

The document of Xichuan's victory was sent back to Chang'an, and the Manchu Dynasty celebrated, and Li Chun ordered Liu Pi to be escorted to Chang'an, and Ming was sentenced to punishment.

Gao Chongwen was renamed as the envoy of the Xichuan Festival, and Yan Li was changed to the envoy of the Dongchuan Festival, so that Liu Sheng, who would be the supervisor, replaced Yan Li as the envoy of the Shannan West Road. Feng Li Mao is the Marquis of the Lonely Mountain, comforting the two rivers, and sits in Chengdu. Transferred Li Guangyan, Yin Mu, and Li Xianyi back to Beijing, each with its own reuse. The rest of the meritorious generals have their own rewards, Chengdu is broken, Liu Pi was captured, Gao Chongwen heard how Li Mao governed Xichuan, Li Mao said: "Everything is done according to the established policy." Gao Chongwen was puzzled, Li Mao said: "The prestige of the king of Nankang in Xichuan is very high, the army and the people are pleased, and the marshal will be implemented according to the old system, and he will be familiar with it in the future, and then slowly reform." ”
