Mianyang was indeed as Zhang Jun guessed, easily captured by Li Jing, and like Jiang You, without shooting an arrow, the city opened the city gate to welcome Li Jing's army into the city.

And the matter of Li Jing leading an army of 30,000 to attack the Bashu Plain spread throughout Bashu in an instant, and Jinguancheng shook, Ding Wei was shocked when he heard it, and he didn't know what to do.

On the third day, not only did he receive the news that Zhang Jun was killed in battle, but more importantly, Li Jing led a large army to the city, and tens of thousands of troops appeared outside the city gate. There are only thousands of soldiers in the city, some of them are soldiers and horses that Ding Wei has only recently recruited, a few days ago, these people were just farmers who had just taken the hoe, and now they can't even hold their knives steadily, and there is no way to resist these wolf-like elite soldiers, let alone any counterattacks and the like.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is urgent, I don't know what strategy you have to retreat from the soldiers and horses in front of you." There is still a trace of hope in Ding Wei's eyes, although he doesn't have any soldiers and horses in his own hands, but these people in front of him are different, these people still have a lot of families in their hands, if they gather together, they can also get more than a thousand young soldiers.

It's just that the reality disappointed him, all the gentry who were looked at by him lowered their heads, not daring to look at them, obviously not wanting to meddle in this matter, Ding Wei sighed deeply when he saw this, and there was a trace of desolation in his eyes, unlike these gentry, he is just a rogue official, as long as the time comes, he doesn't have to stay here as an official, but these people are different, native figures, Li Jing led the army has come to the city, at this time, as long as it is a person, you can see that the Great Song Dynasty has lost its advantage in the Bashu area, And the land of Bashu must also be owned by Li Jing, and the safety of these people's family property and personnel is all in the hands of Li Jing, in this case, if there are still people who give their families to Li Jing for the dying Southern Song Dynasty, it is almost impossible, so it is understandable not to support themselves.

"Hey, I have been a scholar in the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, and I have not treated you badly, as long as you have a learner, you will all receive the favor of the Great Song Dynasty, the current situation is in crisis, it is the time to serve the imperial court, who is Li Jing, the tiger and wolf, the Central Plains is boiling, those gentry have crossed south, isn't it because of Li Jing, if he occupies Bashu, can you get any benefits? Among you, there are many people who have thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of family wealth, Li Jing occupies Bashu, can you keep your family property? Ding Wei glanced at everyone, and said with some anger, what time is it now, and at this time, I still want to surrender, who is Li Jing? Once you occupy Jinguan City, where are the benefits of these people, these guys are really naïve.

"Lord Ding, even if I send all the people in my family over, how many soldiers and horses can I get?" A middle-aged man suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "I heard that not only the Tang Emperor's troops are coming to the city, but the old general Zhang Jun has been killed in battle, and the army of King Li has broken through the Sword Pavilion, and it will soon be in Jinguan City, and the two sides add up to more than 100,000 troops, with our strength, how can we resist more than 100,000 troops." "These people have not thought about the problem here, but Li Jing has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the number is far above the defenders of Jinguan City, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, where can he be so strong, he can defeat Li Jing and keep Jinguan City.

"Yes! Although the Tang Emperor will take away our land, but not at will, some of the land is spent money to buy, although there is a loss, but it is not unacceptable, rumors, the Tang Emperor encourages commerce, we can't farm, or can do business. Another old man, his eyes rolled, glanced around, and couldn't help but say.

"The adult is a civil official, and he eats the court's Yulu, even if the adult dies in battle, I am afraid that the people of the world will remember the loyalty of the adult, but what are the grass people and others, but they are just the people of Limin, where will the people of the world remember me, I have more than 100 people or dozens of people in the family, and the mercy of the Tang Emperor is even counted, but the means of the Li Demon King, the adults also know, the grass people and others do not want to be destroyed all over the city." A middle-aged man sighed and arched his hand.

Ding Wei sighed when he heard this, the general trend is like this, even if he opposes it, what can he do, Li Jing is the emperor, he wants to be famous, and maybe he will show mercy to everyone, but what about Li Qiao? That is a demon king, if the army is here to resist Li Tang's army, I am afraid that the day the city is broken, that is, when everyone is ruined, they will rush to this point, and these people may not help themselves.

Ding Wei seemed to understand something, glanced around, and saw that the officials around him were also like this, even if Xuezheng hung his loyalty to his mouth all day long, he also lowered his head at this time, and did not dare to look at him, as for the defense envoys in the city, etc., his face was even pale, and he was uneasy, Li Jing was brave, if these people were allowed to go out of the city to face the battle, they would definitely die, so these generals also dared to go out, and only hoped that they would give an order and simply surrender.

"It's really surprising that you can have such insight, hehe, I believe that in the future, your names will definitely be left in the history books." A sneer appeared at the corner of Ding Wei's mouth, and he glanced at everyone, all of them were disdainful, he turned around and went down the city wall with a calm face, he saw that the Sword Pavilion was lost, and after Li Qiao led the army through the Sword Pavilion, the civil and military forces of the entire Jinguan City had no intention of resisting, and only hoped to submit to Li Jing, and then save their lives. Not only the gentry, but also the generals. Even these people had already premeditated, otherwise, these gentry would not dare to say these words in front of themselves.

"The building is about to fall, and no one can do anything, so it's better to save their lives." A gentry saw it clearly, and sighed slightly: "Although Datang will not give us gentry any preferential treatment, as long as we save our lives, we can do other things." Although Lord Ding is loyal, it is a pity that there is no hope for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The words of the gentry caused a sigh in the hearts of everyone, these people didn't think about keeping Jinguancheng, otherwise, Zhang Jun would not have been able to block Li Qiao for more than a year with the strength of one person, and there was the help of these gentry, whether it was food and grass, or money, or even manpower. But the current situation is such that these gentry have nothing to do.

"Open the gates! Welcome Your Majesty into the city! The defender waved his hand and led the group down the wall.

With the slow opening of the city gate, it means that the most important city in Bashu, Jinguancheng, fell into the hands of Li Jing, and Ding Wei, the assassin of Jinguancheng, committed suicide on the yamen, and Li Jing ordered someone to bury him.
