On the same day, dozens of people from Liu Zhang's family were escorted by a team of elite soldiers down the river to Jingzhou.

Although Liu Zhang has surrendered, he still has a certain appeal in Yizhou, and in order to prevent some "well-intentioned" people from doing things under the pretext of supporting Liu Zhang, it is absolutely impossible to keep Liu Zhang in Yizhou.

In the past, Liu Bei in history, after conquering Yizhou, placed Liu Zhang's family in the public security, and now Liu Feng is just imitating Liu Bei's means.

After a short interlude, Liu Feng officially entered Chengdu, while collecting more than 10,000 Yizhou soldiers in the city, and on the other hand, he assigned his henchmen Jingzhou Army to take over key locations such as various gates, government offices, and arsenals.

In just a few days, Liu Feng successfully completed the control of Chengdu without bloodshed.

After the smooth transfer of power, Liu Feng took the post of Yizhou pastor and presented himself to the imperial court, showing himself as a former general.

Immediately afterwards, the documents covered with the seal of the Yizhou Mu came out of Chengdu and were sent to the counties of Yizhou in all directions, announcing the change of hands in Chengdu, and ordering the civil and military officials of each county to settle down and turn their allegiance to Liu Feng.

At the same time, Liu Feng also vigorously promoted the indigenous scholars of Yizhou to serve as his shogunate, such as Huang Quan, Dong He, Qian Zhou, Qin Mi, Yan Yan and other Liu Zhang's former subordinates.

As for Ma Zhong, Zhang Wei, Ma Xun and other local heroes, most of them were appointed by Liu Feng as county guards and other local officials, and the rest of Jingzhou's former subordinates were also promoted with Liu Feng's official position.

At the same time as all kinds of measures to buy people's hearts and minds were carried out, Huang Quan, who had been appointed to govern the central government, was ordered by Liu Feng to quickly rush to the front line of Luocheng, holding Liu Feng's warrant and Liu Zhang's letter, and surrendering Zhang Ren and other generals, as well as more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Luocheng.

The city is only more than 60 miles away from Chengdu, and Zhang Ren and other generals have already received the news that Liu Feng's army has arrived in the south of Chengdu.

The news of the siege of Chengdu greatly shocked the generals of the city, but the generals thought that the city of Chengdu was strong and had accumulated grain for several years, although it was besieged, it was not easy for the enemy to break through the city in a short time.

In view of the weakening momentum of Liu Bei's offensive in the north of the city, Zhang Ren and other generals discussed it and decided to send some troops and horses back to Chengdu to help.

However, just when Zhang Ren had just organized a group of 5,000 southern reinforcements and horses, and before he could set off, the news of Liu Zhang's surrender hit the generals of Yucheng like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Reinforcements are coming in a blink of an eye, so why don't you land first!"

In the military hall, Zhang Ren, who had white hair, rushed to the crown angrily, raised his sword and slashed the case angrily, with a look of resentment on his face.

Since the war with Liu Bei, Wu Yi, Li Yan, Lei Tong and other generals have all betrayed, only Zhang Ren fought to the death and did not surrender, assisting Liu Zhang's eldest son Liu Xun to defend the city to the death, and fought for a year without retreating.

When he heard the news that Liu Bei's lair had been attacked and Liu Feng's allies were victorious, Zhang Ren thought that the suffering he had endured in the past year had finally been exchanged for the safety of Yizhou.

But now, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse in an instant, and he never imagined that Chengdu would fall into the hands of others in such a dramatic way.

What made Zhang Ren feel even more hated was Liu Zhang's surrender without a fight, so that he and tens of thousands of soldiers had fought bloodily for a year, wouldn't it be in vain.

"This may be the will of God, the will of God is hard to violate, the will of God is hard to violate."

Liu Xun's eyes flashed with tears, and he held the silk book in his trembling hands.

It was a letter written by Liu Zhang, in the name of his father and the former state pastor, ordering him to hand over the military power to Huang Quan, who came with the book, and then he and Zhang Ren went to Chengdu to meet the new master.

Zhang Ren's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he shouted sharply: "What kind of bullshit providence, I, Zhang Ren, don't believe it, eldest prince, we must not surrender." ”

Liu Xun was stunned for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "Now there is Liu Bei's army in the north, and Chengdu in the south has fallen into the hands of Liu Feng, and the general trend has gone, what else can we do except surrender?" ”

"The eldest prince, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted now, how can you give up lightly. We still have 20,000 soldiers in our hands, and we will support the eldest prince as the pastor of Yizhou, and take advantage of the unstable time of the hearts of the people in Chengdu to go straight back and recapture Chengdu, and maybe expel that Liu Feng and restore the foundation of Yizhou. ”

Zhang Ren is high-spirited, and his tone is not small, in the current situation, he still does not give up.

It's just that his proposal only made Liu Xun's heart excited for a short moment.

Immediately, the eldest prince of the Liu family shook his head and sighed: "What kind of person Liu Feng is, Guan Yu and Liu Bei are not his opponents, just rely on us and others, how can this tired army save the overall situation." ”

"Eldest Prince, you must not ......"

Zhang Ren wanted to wait for further persuasion, but Liu Xun waved his hand and said, "That's it, you don't need to say it anymore." Since my father has been surrendered, if I act rashly, will I not harm my father, and the general trend has gone, so let us accept our fate. ”

Zhang Ren had the heart to make the last fight, and after several hard persuasions, Liu Xun didn't have the guts, but he was determined to surrender to Liu Feng.

After persuading for a long time, seeing that Liu Xun showed no signs of changing his mind, Zhang Ren realized that it was really the general trend now.

"The foundation of more than 20 years of painstaking management is so easy to give away, Liu Gong, Liu Gong, you are wise, how can you give birth to such unangry descendants......"

At this time, Zhang Ren, who was discouraged, couldn't help but reprimand Liu Zhang's father and son.

Although Zhang Ren was reluctant in his heart, the surrender of Liu's father and son left him with no choice, and in the end, he had to hand over the military power to Huang Quan and go to Chengdu with Liu Xun and the others.

………………………… To the north of the city, Liu Bei's camp is in the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the brazier, the dim flame swayed and danced, and under the light of the fire, Liu Bei's old face showed an unprecedented anxiety.

He stared at the map on the desk, his brows clouded with sorrow.

Meng Da's betrayal, Wuxian County was broken, Jianping, Badong and other counties fell one after another, and the bad news one after another made Liu Bei's heart even worse because of Guan Yu's death.

Now, the news that Yan Yan surrendered and Liu Feng's army took Chengdu made Liu Bei's mood more and more anxious.

He knew very well how empty Chengdu was now, and he was also very aware of Liu Feng's strength, and at this moment, there was an unprecedented fear in his heart.

If Liu Feng is allowed to take Chengdu first, will everything he has worked so hard for be in vain?

As time passed, this fear grew stronger.

"Zhang Ren, damn Zhang Ren!"

Liu Bei was anxious, and slammed the case, and there was deep hatred in his low voice.

At this moment, Liu Bei hated Zhang Ren in the city.

How many Yizhou generals have all surrendered, but this old horseman has been holding on for a whole year, using all kinds of means, but he just refuses to surrender.

The city is like an insurmountable obstacle in Liu Bei's grand cause, and it is this city that makes him lose his most precious time and everything he was going to get his hands on.

The curtain was raised, a night breeze rushed in, and the firelight danced like a ghost.

Coming in from the outside was Sun Gan, a Confucian who had been in charge of intelligence work, and at this moment, his expression was so anxious.

The moment he saw that expression, Liu Bei's heart felt an ominous premonition.

"Lord, the big thing is not good, Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Feng."

The wind was blowing eerily and whining like a ghost crying.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and Liu Bei's whole person was fixed there, and his eyes were frozen with unprecedented loss and shock.

For a moment, Liu Bei felt that Sun Qian was not old and confused, that Liu Zhang, a guy who had carried himself for more than a year, how could he surrender to Liu Feng that brute so inexplicably.

But soon, Liu Bei had to accept such a cruel truth.

Once again, he failed.

Just like when he was in Xuzhou, he was once again reduced to a lost dog.

"My lord, what should we do?" Sun Qian, who was covered in cold sweat, asked in a panic.

Liu Bei's heart was like a knife, but the kind of loss on his face only lasted for a moment, and soon became gloomy and calm, and he said in a low voice: "Quickly go and invite the military advisor and Yuan Zhi to come to see me." ”

After a while, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and other strategists arrived.

When Liu Bei announced the news that Sun Qian had brought back, the big tent fell into a deathly silence.

Even like Zhuge Liang, who has always been confident, at this moment, his originally light and breezy face can't help but reveal a little surprise.

"As soon as Liu Zhang descends, Liu Feng's army will soon enter and arrive in Luocheng, our army is at the end of the crossbow, the hearts of the soldiers have already been shaken, and Yan Yan's soldiers and horses are moving towards Fucheng, once the back road is cut off, once the back road is cut off......"

Xu Shu didn't dare to say any more, all kinds of unfavorable situations, even he himself felt more and more frightened the more he said.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said silently: "I know all this, I summoned you here to discuss with you a countermeasure. ”

The crowd was silent.

Liu Bei turned his gaze to Zhuge Liang: "Strategist, do you have any good plans?" ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said lightly: "Now, it is impossible to recover the defeat, but we don't have to be discouraged, we still have tens of thousands of soldiers in our hands, and Zitong and Brazil are also in our hands." No matter how bad the current situation is, will it be even worse than when Nagasaka's army was defeated? ”

Zhuge Liang is just a word of comfort.

Everyone knows that although Changsaka was defeated back then, there was still room for turnaround, but now Jingzhou has fallen, Yizhou has not been taken, tens of thousands of people and two counties are locked up in the "heavenly prison" surrounded by mountains like Shuzhong, and the danger of the situation is more dangerous than that of the year.

The people present were all resourceful people, and they could see the current situation clearly, and how could they relax because of Zhuge Liang's words.

Liu Bei frowned slightly: "Having said that, it's not a way to sit here now, you have to take action." ”

Zhuge Liang pondered for a long time and took a deep breath.

"Now, it seems that we have no choice but to use Zhang Lu's last move."
