Wang Quanbin's army came from Jianzhou, occupied Mianzhou in a few days, and then led the army to Chengdu day and night, and the prince of Shu, Meng Xuanzhe, led the Shu army to return immediately, and returned to Chengdu as if fleeing for his life day and night.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the army of the crown prince Meng Xuanzhe had arrived at the Shengxian Bridge ten miles outside the north gate of the city. The deserters all the way shocked the villagers outside the city, Meng Xuanzhe left the army to be stationed outside the city, and he immediately took a mule cart back to the city.

The atmosphere in Chengdu suddenly became tense, and today the people and officials in the city personally saw the prince's carriage and horses return to the capital, today is the Shangyuan Festival, but unfortunately now the country is in a never-ending defeat.

This is probably the saddest time for the monarchs and ministers of Shu and the people. Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, received the news that Jianmen had missed, Jianzhou had fallen, and Wang Zhaoyuan and other ministers had been captured a few days ago, and he had already vaguely detected that something was wrong, but just yesterday, after he received a letter from the princes Meng Xuanzhe, the whole person was not good.

And the favorite concubine around her, Mrs. Hua Rui, washed her face with tears, worried about this and there.

Although the road back to the palace was only a few miles, it felt very long.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the palace."

"Hmm."

"Why......" Meng Chang muttered.

"Xuan."

Meng Xuanzhe had already thought of many excuses for explanation on the way, and when he entered the hall, Meng Xuanzhe suddenly kowtowed and knelt on the ground, listening to Meng Chang's reprimand.

Meng Chang didn't speak for a long time, just shook his head helplessly, and after a while, he saw his son Meng Xuanzhe kneeling on the ground, and he remembered to scold him, "Bastard...... Why did I give birth to you? It's just that you don't fight well, why did you order a retreat, but ...... You are my son, why are you so cowardly, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the world when I hand it over to you......"

"Father's ......"

Meng's father and son, one knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and the other stood and pointed, hating iron and steel......

Meng Chang saw Meng Xuanzhe kneeling for a long time, out of sight, and brushed his sleeves away......

The original lively Shangyuan Festival, today also started a curfew, there is not even a figure on the street, the night of the full moon, mixed with the cold wind, but it is very cold.

In the second half of the night, more than 20 figures popped out of the Chengdu Xiaobaihua Restaurant, carrying packages, quietly passing through the streets and alleys.

"What ......" The soldier who was patrolling the night, without blurting out the word "human", fell to the ground with his body crooked.

"Damn." The man in black kicked hard, then dragged the body to a corner and continued his actions.

Dark clouds drifted in the sky, and the surroundings suddenly became darker, and the wind came. Suddenly, there would be something like a big-character newspaper on the wall of each house.

The figure fluttered, like a ghost, and the big character o newspaper that was blown up by the wind also made a "woo" sound, which sounded very terrifying.

Early the next morning, at midnight, "the weather is dry, a little cold, the morning fog gets up early, add clothes and quilts ......"

"Huh? This is? The man who played the watch, looking at the big red letter on the wall, saw that the man was illiterate, so he called the teacher who could read.

When Mr. Reading arrived, he also looked curiously at the contents of the big-character o newspaper, "This...... This is the Song Emperor's book "Dunshu Lord Na Descending". ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's a surrender table."

"Who is going to surrender?"

"This ......," Mr. Teach was embarrassed to say directly, because it read:

The lord of Shu, I have been ordered by the emperor, and I have led the Tule to push, and I will serve all directions, and I will not be afraid of the four seas. It is the Ministry of Shu, a remote corner, Gou Lishu's peace, not the business cares. If you can lead the officials and subordinates to obey, worship the table to pray for grace, entrust me with kindness, talk about the temple, seal the treasury and stand by, and protect the gathering and lose sincerity. I show my faith and gentleness, do not force people to risk, protect nothing else, and be in good health.

There are three copies, which are respectively "Pingshu Edict to Xichuan Generals and People" and "Pingshu Qu Amnesty Text", "Pingshu Edict to the County and State Edict", originally these three edicts were carried on Lu Yuqing's body, Zhao Dezhao ordered someone to transcribe three copies in advance in the place where the edict was stored, and then handed it over to Changchun Hall and Feique, and ordered someone to post it in Shu to drive a public opinion? On it, it is also a wake-up call for Wang Quanbin to enter Chengdu, plus "Dunshu Lord Na Descending Edict", these four edicts are holy decrees, and they also let the people of Shu understand the Song Emperor's benevolence and virtue, love the people, and make the people of Shu more supportive of the Song State and the Song Emperor's policies.

So the husband pulled Mr. Teaching to a corner, and after asking again and again, he learned that it was the Song Emperor who persuaded the Lord of Shu to surrender, and the Song army had no intention of committing a crime when it entered the city.

The husband was so frightened that he fled to his home, and in the absence of the six gods, it was better to inform his family.

The sky was bright, and the people on the street knew about the existence of this big-character o-newspaper, and the people sent by the officials of the yamen gathered in front of these big-character o-newspapers, and then tore off the big-character o-newspapers and sent them to the Chengdu government and the palace respectively.

"Is this true?"

"I don't think it's fake, have you ever heard of His Royal Highness the King of Wei of the Song Kingdom. His Royal Highness King Wei is a good person, and he ...... at the beginning."

"It's that good." And some of the people wondered.

"It's true." The man's words were so bad that they felt true.

"Do you think the emperor will ......?"

"As the edict says, it's still a good ...... for Kaesong to surrender"

"What we want is a stable life, who will be the emperor to do our bird business."

“……”

The people who read the big-character o newspaper all rushed back and forth to their homes, and Qin Xi, who was hidden in the crowd, also looked "innocent", lamenting that Chengdu was not guaranteed, the situation was chaotic, and it was better to go home and close the door. Moreover, the person who said that His Royal Highness the King of Wei was also recruited and arranged by them, and what he said was very reasonable.

Qin Xi looked very innocent in his heart, Your Highness, this is the Wuyongzi Dao Chief's own opinion. At the same time, the policy propagandized by the Song Emperor also made the people of Chengdu suspicious, and what they were afraid of was the crazy slaughter of the Song army.

In the crowd, there are also Chengdu officials and nobles who go out early to buy a small house and maid who should do things in the house, and when they learn the news, they also return to the house as soon as possible.

After Li Hao's house knew about it, he immediately turned around and went home.

"Master, master, something is wrong......"

Li Hao was still sleeping peacefully in the house, and he scolded: "Qingnu, disturbing people's dreams early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”

"Master, the Song army has entered the city...... "The little one Qingnu said one by one, "The little one saw the edict of the Song people in the city, and there were many people watching the excitement on the street, and most of them knew about it." Song people...... To His Majesty Kaejo surrender. ”

When Li Hao heard that Wang Zhaoyuan was captured a few days ago, he was very happy, but he was also a little gloomy, after all, this time he was fighting for Shu. Puzzled, no Song army entered the city, why did he come out like this......

"It's not good, the Song people have already infiltrated Chengdu." Li Hao suddenly thought about it, and felt that this was the case. But he couldn't understand why so many people appeared on the streets overnight.

At this time, Meng Chang in the palace also received news from four Song edicts, and Meng Chang read one after another, and then read one after another.

"Damn, how did this evil breath come out in my heart, did he bully me and have no troops in Shu."

"Your Majesty is angry—" said the official who entered the palace, "Your Majesty, now that almost the entire people of Chengdu Mansion know, what should be done about this matter?" ”

"How...... What should I do? Now that Shu is in trouble, I feel ...... This country must die in my hands......" Meng Chang felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but the attendant who saw him helped Meng Chang.

"Your Majesty."

After Meng Chang finished reading the edict, from the anger at the beginning, to the time he finished reading the last one, sweat the size of a bean had already appeared on his face, and he was blown by the wind, and there was a chill on his neck.

"The ministers of Xuan will enter the palace to discuss things." Meng Chang waved his hand and asked the chamberlain to go out of the palace to summon the minister.

He sat alone on the dragon chair, thinking about countermeasures.

"How did the Song army enter the city, when it ordered the closure of the entrance and exit of Chengdu, the people who entered and exited were strictly checked, and there was no major incident in Chengdu recently, why was there nothing yesterday, overnight, everyone in Chengdu knew that Song persuaded him to surrender in Kaicheng......"

Several ministers that Meng Chang could rely on, as well as the crown prince Meng Xuanzhe, appeared in the palace.

Meng Chang groaned, "Everyone, you must have found out...... How to deal with ...... now"

After reading the four edicts, the ministers also shook their heads helplessly, and now they are a little powerless to send troops.

It's just that the next moment, someone among the ministers said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that all these persuasion letters should be burned to show the heart of our Shu army to resist the Song army, I still have 140,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu, and he Wang Quanbin and Cao Bin add up to only 60,000 or 70,000, so our army does not need to be afraid of the Song army at all." ”

This person is Shi Bin, who is nearly sixty years old.

"Li Xiang, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, today you have also seen the four edicts posted by the Song army's spies in the city, and the people's hearts have turned towards the Song army, if you don't have these four edicts today, you can still fight." Li Hao arched his hand and said, "What's more, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the Song army came all the way, our army has been victorious, in just two months, our army has lost Xingzhou, Jiazhou, Jianmen Pass, Jianzhou, Kuizhou, Wanzhou and other states, the trench is lost, the Song army is more and more unscrupulous, overnight, why no one in Chengdu noticed this strange thing." ”

When Meng Chang heard this, his neck was cold, and he hesitated: "You mean, this ....... Chengdu has long been in the hands of the Song army." ”

"The weapons supervisor caught fire, the shipbuilding warship was destroyed, and the strange thunder in Chengdu collapsed...... Pile by pile, piece by piece...... I'm afraid that Song Jun would have reached out a long time ago. ”

Meng Chang was shocked again, it was true that the case of the fire in the ordnance superintendent, he sent people to investigate it so far, and he did not know who did it when the warship was destroyed, and there was no way to investigate the theft of the account books......

After hearing this, the veteran Shi Bin said: "Even if this matter is done by the Song army's spies, Your Majesty, please order Lao Chen to lead a team of elites to search the city and find out the spies within three days." ”

The clever courtiers already knew that this matter was not easy to handle, and said: "This matter is difficult, if it is not done well, the whole Chengdu will be restless, if there is a commotion, I am afraid that it will fall into the hands of the Song army." ”

"How's that good?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is brave, it is better to take care of the millions of dawn people in Shu Kingdom, Your Majesty still follows the ancients, has a good reputation, and surrenders Kaicheng."

Shi Bin's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "Li Hao, you old puppet bewitches the public, Your Majesty please behead Li Hao, and the old minister is willing to guarantee his life and protect the lord with all his might." ”

There was a shout outside the hall, and suddenly there were footsteps hurriedly entering the hall, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Song army has reached fifteen miles outside the city." ”

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

"What should I do?" Meng Chang screamed.

Shi Bin said sonorously: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go out of the city to ask for war." ”
