"Who did you catch?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

"Wait for the minister to escort that guy over, and Your Majesty will know when he sees it." Huang Gai also sold the guanzi and ordered the soldiers to bring the captive to the face saint.

Su Zhe was not in a hurry, he gave Huang Gai a chance to sell Guanzi, he wanted to see what kind of prisoner he could help him break through Chengdu quickly.

After a few moments, the soldiers dragged a scribe in and threw him in front of the hall.

Su Zhe glanced at the man and asked, "Who are you, report your name?" ”

"Under ...... In Xia Ma Jun, I have seen His Majesty. The scribe replied tremblingly.

Ma Jun?

A name that is not very familiar is not as thunderous as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but it vaguely seems to have been heard somewhere again.

"Gongfu, is there anything special about this Ma Jun?" Su Zhehu looked at Huang Gai suspiciously.

Huang Gai said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the divine thunder cannon of the Han Kingdom was created by Zhuge Liang and this Ma Jun together. ”

God Thunder Cannon!

It was the battle of Yiling, which collapsed the city wall of Yiling, known as the strongest trebuchet in the world!

Su Zhe's heart was shocked, his eyes glanced at Ma Jun in front of the steps again, and suddenly remembered who this person was.

He remembered that there was a famous mechanical master in the Wei State in history, and that name was Ma Jun.

It is said that this person is a genius of strange weapons, not only restored the legendary guide car, but also invented many mechanical devices such as hydraulic overturning, and even Zhuge Liang's crossbow was copied.

Huang Gai said that he and Zhuge Liang invented the Divine Thunder Cannon together, which shows that he is also a mechanical expert, and that Ma Jun must be what Su Zhe knows, and there is no doubt that Ma Jun in history.

Su Zhe smiled, and finally understood what Huang Gai meant.

With Ma Jun in hand, he can use Ma Jun to imitate the Han army's divine thunder cannon, and then use this powerful new trebuchet to collapse Chengdu's thick city walls, isn't it a quick break through Chengdu.

"It turns out that you are Ma Jun, and you made the divine thunder cannon, right?" Su Zhe asked with a pleasant face.

"Yes...... It's Prime Minister Zhuge and I who are ...... made together. ”

Ma Jun stuttered a little, after all, what he was facing was the tyrant of Wei who had always been declared by Liu Bei, a brutal and unkind Wei State.

"Don't be afraid, I can't eat you." Su Zhe smiled and said with relief, "Now that you have been captured, you can serve me from now on, and as for the divine thunder cannon, you can also make it for me as soon as possible." ”

Ma Jun's body shook slightly, and he squeaked for a while, and he didn't say that he would surrender, nor did he say that he would not surrender.

Su Zhe's face sank, and he said coldly: "It's okay if you don't surrender, I will fulfill your loyalty, come on, drag him down and behead him." ”

The order was handed down, and the left and right Imperial Forest troops rushed up.

Ma Jun's face changed in astonishment, and he was instantly frightened, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister is willing to surrender to Your Majesty, and the minister is willing to surrender to Your Majesty!" ”

A sneer rose at the corner of Su Zhe's mouth, and he waved his hand to stop the Imperial Forest Army.

He knew that a literati like Ma Jun had neither blood nor rigid bones, and it was impossible for him to die for Liu Bei, so he knelt down at the slightest fright.

"Very well, since you are so knowledgeable, then I can't treat you badly." Su Zhe nodded with satisfaction, "I will enter the Jue Pavilion Marquis for you from today, with a bounty of three hundred and five hundred Shu brocade horses." ”

Ma Jun was taken aback, looked up at Su Zhe fiercely, his face was unbelievable, he couldn't believe that Su Zhe would reward him with such a demote.

Moreover, he is not an important figure in the Han Kingdom, but just a small role.

"Why, do I have little reward for you?" Su Zhe asked coldly.

"No, no, no, how dare you." Ma Jun hurriedly shook his head, "The minister is just a minister, the minister is a minister, and he can't afford such a heavy reward from His Majesty." ”

Su Zhe smiled and said: "Why can't you afford it, you created a divine thunder cannon for me to help me break through Chengdu City quickly, you definitely deserve this reward." ”

Ma Jun's body was shocked, and then he realized that the reason why Su Zhe rewarded him was because of his skills.

"I am willing to do my best to build a divine thunder cannon for Your Majesty!" Ma Jun, who understood it, fell to the ground again.

Under the grace and reward, Ma Jun has completely surrendered.

Su Zhe smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Get up, I will leave the matter of this divine thunder cannon to you, the craftsmen and soldiers in the army, I will give you as much as you want, you must be fast, if your divine thunder cannon can really help me capture Chengdu, I will be rewarded." ”

"Obey the order!" Under Su Zhe's grace, Ma Jun was even aroused a little passionate.

At that moment, Su Zhe surrendered Ma Jun, allocated him more than 1,000 soldiers and nearly 100 craftsmen, and prepared him to mobilize all manpower and material resources to build the divine thunder cannon.

The army rested in Nan'an City for three days, and Su Zhe set off again, leading an army of 200,000 to go to Chengdu City.

At this time, Chengdu City was already panicked and fell into a panicked situation.

Nan'an was lost, and the Wei army approached the city, which made the Han soldiers and people in a city frightened, and they were afraid that they would not be able to hold the city of Chengdu.

For a time, the people in the city were in turmoil, and many wealthy families had begun to flee Chengdu with their families and move to the countryside for refuge.

Of course, Liu Bei could not give up Chengdu City, and as soon as he retreated to Chengdu, he recruited defeated soldiers and strengthened the city defense.

Within a few days, the defeated and scattered Han army gathered again, and the strength of the army recovered to about 80,000, and the momentum was regained for a while.

Liu Bei's confidence also recovered slightly.

Although the outer barriers of Chengdu have been broken, Chengdu City is the heart of Yizhou after all, not to mention the height of the city, and the grain and grass collected are enough to support the 80,000 army for two years.

At Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Bei ordered all the rural people near Chengdu to be moved into the city, and the grain and grass materials were also requisitioned into the city.

Liu Bei is ready to use the method of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall to fight a protracted battle with Su Zhe to defend Chengdu.

Because Liu Bei knows very well that the richest place in the entire Yizhou is the plain near Chengdu, and the grain and grass produced accounts for about seventy percent of the entire Yizhou.

Therefore, as long as he collects all the grain and grass from the Chengdu Plain into the city of Chengdu, he can make Su Zhe have no way to get grain on the spot and feed the war with war.

Therefore, Su Zhe's grain and grass could only travel thousands of miles, first from the Central Plains to Jingzhou, and then through Jingzhou through the Three Gorges, and then before it could be sent to the front line after a hundred turns.

No matter how strong the national strength of Wei is, if it wants to support such a long grain route for a long time, it will definitely be powerless.

What's more, what this long grain road has to support is not tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but 200,000 mouths.

Liu Bei has absolute confidence that he will be able to hold out until the day when Su Zhe runs out of food and retreats without a fight.

So, all Liu Bei had to do was to close the city gate and wait for the Wei army to come.

Five days later, 200,000 Wei troops arrived at the city of Chengdu.

Due to the heavy damage to the Han army in the Battle of Nan'ancheng, the number of Wei troops has reached three times that of the Han army, so relying on the advantage of troops, Su Zhe also set up camp at the second gate in the southeast, forming a coercive trend.

After setting up camp, Su Zhe quickly dispatched troops and horses and went to the countryside and counties around Chengdu to collect grain and grass to feed the war.

As a result, all the troops and horses returned empty-handed, claiming that the cities and villages within a radius of more than 100 miles of Chengdu had been emptied and burned to a scorched earth, so that they could not even scavenge a grain of rice.

Su Zhe immediately realized that Liu Bei was trying to play a disgusting trick of clearing the wilderness and wasting it with him in Chengdu City.

At this point, Su Zhe had no choice but to wait for Ma Jun's divine thunder cannon, and at the same time urge the rear to continuously transport grain and grass to the front line.

For ten days in a row, Su Zhe did not move.

Because he knows how high and thick the walls of Chengdu City are, launching a strong attack on Chengdu now can only let the soldiers die in vain, and it will not have any effect.

Ten days later, the Emperor's Tent.

Su Zhe stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes staring at the map of Yizhou.

His gaze was no longer limited to Chengdu, but extended to the Sword Pavilion, Yangping Pass, and Nanzheng further north.

He not only wants to take Chengdu, but also to include the entire Yizhou into the territory, if it is difficult, the difficulty of capturing Hanzhong is far greater than Chengdu.

"The real evil battle is still to come...... Su Zhe's eyes wandered around Hanzhong, and he muttered emotion.

At this moment, the curtain was lifted, Ma Jun stepped into the imperial tent, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered by Your Majesty to make the divine thunder cannon day and night, and have successfully built more than 200 doors, according to the minister's estimate, it should be enough to break through the city wall of Chengdu." ”

Su Zhe's eyes were abruptly burning, and he turned around suddenly, and shouted proudly: "Ma Jun, well done!" Spread my will, tomorrow the whole army will be exhausted, I will raze the city of Chengdu to the ground! ”
