On the top of Chengdu City, Zhuge Liang and Li Ne stood side by side, their eyes watching Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses outside the city continue to retreat and leave, and their expressions remained unchanged, as if this scene had been predicted.

"As you wish, Zhang Ren really didn't dare to fight Chengdu, he retreated!" Li Ne turned his head, glanced at Zhuge Liang, and said indifferently: "He seems to be very smart, and he knows that you plan to kill him, so he won't even give you a chance to talk!" ”

Zhuge Liang's booby trap strategy was useless, and as a result, Zhang Ren withdrew from the army, which was a little depressed in his heart.

"Can you blow away if you retreat?"

Zhuge Liang's expression was calm, and there was not much frustration at that time, and his words were as cold as ice: "If an enemy like Zhang Ren lives, I don't care, but the king will probably have trouble sleeping in the future, and he must die!" ”

Liu Chan had ascended the throne as king at noon, becoming the last king of Shu and the king in his mouth.

"The soldiers and horses under his command are all elite, you may not be able to kill him!" Li Nie's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Zhuge Liang's side face, and said in a deep voice: "After all, Zhang Ren's ability, you should know better than me, otherwise you would not have compromised and given him the position of general back then!" ”

In fact, in Li Nie's heart, he is more inclined to Zhang Reneng to surrender to Sun Wu, after all, Zhang Ren is still the senior brother of the hussar general Zhao Yun, and his ability is not weak, whether it is force or the ability to lead troops, he is first-class in the world.

It's just that some things can't have the best of both worlds, and now Zhuge Liang has killed Liu Xun, Liu Xun is Zhang Ren's last loyalty, and there is already a mortal enemy between him and Zhang Ren.

Even if Zhuge Liang is willing to settle things and accept Zhang Ren now, Zhang Ren will definitely kill him, and he will not let Liu Chan go. This is a clash of their respective principles in their hearts.

You can only choose one or the other.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart, after all, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Zhang Ren's command, if he chose to attack Chengdu, he would have a chance to destroy him. But he insisted on running, and he might not be able to stop it.

Even if he has an ambush in the north, it will be difficult to work, Zhang Ren is Zhang Ren after all, unless he has enough troops, it will be very difficult to kill him.

The best outcome is just eviction.

"It's a personal vendetta between you, I don't care. Now that Shu has not surrendered to my Dawu, you can choose to do what you want to do! ”

Li Ne looked at the backs of Zhang Ren's soldiers and horses disappearing outside the city, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "But I hope that when Your Majesty's soldiers come to the city, I can get the personal surrender of the King of Shu!" ”

"So far, I have no way out, Toucheng Wu is the only way to keep the king, even if I have the ability to be monstrous. I can't keep Chengdu City, so you don't have to worry about backtracking! ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth smiled slightly bitterly: "It's just that you promised me." Don't forget! ”

"Da Wu will not kill people for no reason, when the king of Shu surrenders, Shu is also the territory of our Da Wu, and the people of Shu are also the people of our Da Wu, Da Wu will rule the country by law, and will not kill innocents!"

Li Nie nodded. Zhuge Liang's conditions are very simple, it is okay to surrender, but if Wu wants to accept the people of the Shu court, he has to kill people with personal grudges, which is this. He agreed.

After a few words between the two, Li Nie left the city and returned to the city, he now had to find some way to save Zhuge Liang, he didn't want to see this one person wither.

"Gao Pei!" Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said

"Strategist!"

"Take your cavalry, hang Zhang Ren in the back, don't fight, he will take the cotton bamboo in the next step, and when he takes the cotton bamboo, you are attacking!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the disappearing soldiers and horses outside the city, and ordered: "Fight quickly, withdraw quickly, you just need to attract his attention when he takes Mianzhu!" ”

He knew that Zhang Ren was very short of food and grass now, and Mianzhu was a hurdle that Zhang Ren couldn't spare, so he had designed a pit in Mianzhu, and it was up to Zhang Ren to jump or not.

"No!"

Gao Pei nodded, and then led the troops out of the city.

"Strategist, Zhang Rennai is a first-class general, I'll go and meet him for a while!" Chen Zhi said.

"No!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Compared to Zhang Ren, I care more about Chengdu City, you are not in Chengdu, I have no bottom in my heart, Sun Zhongmou is about to come to the city, how to successfully surrender is the most important thing!" ”

"Strategist, do we really want to surrender?" Chen Zhi stood up, looked at Zhuge Liang slowly, and said a little unwillingly: "Maybe we can still hold Chengdu!" ”

"We don't have a choice!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, there is no hope, he can't fight with Erlang's life, so far, Toucheng is the only way out.

He glanced back at Chen Zhi and asked, "Shuzhi, you have faced Sun Zhongmou once, how do you feel about Sun Zhongmou?" ”

"I have some good feelings, although he killed the king, but I can't resent, he can kill him, but he let me go, knowing that I won't surrender, he still has such courage, I respect him!"

When Chen Zhi heard this, he thought about it in his heart and said what was in his heart.

In this troubled world, life and death on the battlefield cannot be linked to personal feelings, and the major affairs of the country can never be caused by personal will.

He has a good impression of Sun Quan, as a captive, Sun Quan can release him unconditionally, just to cherish talents, this thirst for talent makes him a little moved.

Even if he is absolutely loyal to Liu Bei, he has to admit that Sun Quan is indeed a monarch that he respects.

"Sun Zhongmou values you, this is a trump card!" Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up slightly, and said: "This time, you personally took the king to surrender, even if he knew that you would help the first king to be his enemy, he still let you go, which is enough to prove that he values you, and he will definitely be reused for you in the future. ”

"Strategist, with your talent, Sun Zhongmou should pay more attention to it!" Chen Zhidao.

"Me?"

Zhuge Liang had a helpless smile on his face: "I have a grudge against him to kill my father, even if I surrender, whether I can survive or not is still one thing, Sun Quan can tolerate all the ministers of Shu, but may not be able to tolerate me!" ”

At the beginning, Sun Jian's death, he did not forget, he played a lot of roles here, and it can even be said that he caused it single-handedly.

If he hadn't calculated Sun Ce, he wouldn't have lured Sun Jian to the north, and Sun Jian wouldn't have died in battle.

Sun Quan, he has studied it countless times, saying that he is broad, he is also broad, saying that he is stingy, he is also stingy, and he is even more persistent in killing his father.

When he killed tens of thousands of Liu Bei's troops, he didn't forget that even if Sun Quan behaved in the atmosphere, he might not be able to survive.

If it weren't for Liu Adou, he would rather lead his troops north to Cao Wei, at least he could escape with his life, and now that he has done what he should do, he can only resign himself to fate.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the end of October, the Wu army marched to Chengdu City, and at the beginning of November, Sun Quan personally led the main force to Chengdu City.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses approached the city, and the city suddenly became a little uneasy.

Outside the south city gate, the Wu army is the main camp.

Sun Quan was wearing battle armor, standing in front of the sand table, looking at the terrain around Chengdu City, and then looking at the marching map, one hundred thousandths of the marching map, is the most elaborate marching map today, in the sand table, it is enough to bring the entire Chengdu City into Sun Quan's amber eyes.

"Is there any news in the city?" After half a ring, Sun Quan raised his head, his eyes swept over the generals, and asked, "Is he Zhuge Liang fighting or surrendering?" ”

It had been a day since he had been in the city, and the calm of Chengdu City made him feel a little strange in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the current King of Shu is Liu Chan!"

Xu Shu said suddenly.

"Liu Chan? Isn't it Liu Xun? When Sun Quan heard this, he was stunned: "Liu Chan is Liu Adou, isn't that Liu Bei's son?" ”

"That's right, and it won't take half a month to ascend the throne!"

"What is Zhuge Liang playing?" Sun Quan patted his forehead: "Could it be that he has already decided to surrender?" ”

"That's how it should be!"

Xu Shu said a little relaxed: "I don't think he wants to start a war with us!" ”

"Where's Zhang Ren?" Sun Ce, the commander of the right army, stood up and asked.

The army on the right was divided into two routes, Gan Ning personally led the troops to the north, Sun Ce led the troops to join Sun Quan's main force, and approached Chengdu City, he killed Zhang Fei, and his prestige was greatly enhanced, and now the little overlord of Jiangdong has begun to become the overlord of Eastern Wu.

Of course, Wang Jue is the title of the first rank of Dawu, whether he can be crowned king or not, at least the credit of the Western Expedition is not enough to support him to become the first prince of Dawu.

"I just got a news, ten days ago, Zhang Renbing came to the city, but was blocked by Zhuge Liang outside the city, leading the troops north, but in Mianzhu City, he was sniped by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses guarded by the Shu army, burned Miancheng, suffered heavy casualties, and then was raided by the cavalry behind, and finally with his strong strength, he broke out of the siege, leaving only tens of thousands of remnants, fleeing in the direction of Baishui Pass!" Xu Shu said.

"Baishuiguan, he wants to go north to Liangzhou?"

"It is possible in Liangzhou and Hanzhong, now that he has no way out, either the Liangguo who surrendered to Ma Chao or Cao Wei, I am afraid that we have no hope!" Xu Shu said.

"It's a pity!"

Sun Quan licked the corners of his mouth, Zhang Ren, that is a fierce general, he has been coveting it for a long time, but he can't go to his bowl.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing is to take Chengdu now!" Lu Bu's face was still a little pale, and he said lightly.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan nodded, raised his head slightly, and looked at the shadow of the tall city outside the tent: "I don't want to fight, no matter how I fight, it will take time and life, but now I can't delay, three days, I decided to wait for three days, three days, the city does not fall, we fight!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded.

"Is there any news for Li Nie?" Sun Quan suddenly asked Xu Shu in a low voice: "This guy is a little quiet, it's not like his style, it won't be for people to kill in the city!" ”

"Probably not!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly: "I'm thinking, he should plan to surprise His Majesty!" ”

"Hopefully!" Sun Quan sighed and said, "It is already inevitable to take Chengdu City!" (To be continued.) )
