Chapter 229: The Rebellion and the Separation of Relatives

Liu Zhang was originally standing, and he was angry and wanted to take the knife with Qian Zhou, but as soon as he heard that Liu Feng's army had arrived, the whole person was like a lightning strike, and he sat down with a buttocks.

"That's it, let him go."

The anger was instantly crushed, Liu Zhang sat there with a dull expression, and waved his hand weakly.

The samurai hurriedly let go of the sword.

The young scholar straightened his clothes, walked into the hall again, and said bitterly: "My lord, it is precisely because of the lord's fortune that I want to conceive of the lord's family name and persuade the lord to surrender the city openly. If the lord really plans to defend the city, then Qian Zhou is also willing to follow the lord, the city is in the people, and the city is dead. ”

The city is in the people, and the city is dead...... Is there no other way to go but surrender and die?

Liu Zhang's heart is like a knife.

It was difficult to make a decision for the time being, Liu Zhang urgently summoned his staff to come to discuss the countermeasures, but there were many fewer people than usual, and when he asked, he learned that Xu Jing and others had fled across the city at the moment when they heard that the enemy army was approaching the city, and went to Liu Feng.

Xu Jing and others are Dongzhou scholars, Liu Zhangping treats them well, but now that the catastrophe is coming, they abandon themselves so decisively, but it is Qian Zhou, who is usually suppressed Yizhou scholars, but they did not abandon themselves.

Liu Zhang sighed and sighed, so he could only ask the bureaucrats what to do.

In today's Chengdu City, all the elite soldiers have been transferred, such as Zhang Ren and other generals are outside, and the enemy is surrendered, although more than 10,000 soldiers and horses can still be mobilized, but there is no general who can be reused.

The scribes looked at each other and discussed for a long time, but there was no good way.

When he was in a hurry, Qian Zhou suggested that Liu Zhang lead the crowd to the city and watch the enemy's situation before making plans.

Liu Zhang had no choice but to follow Qian Zhou's proposal, and led a group of restless servants out of the Texas capital and rushed to the south gate to watch the enemy.

At the head of the city, Liu Zhang looked into the distance and couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that a few miles away from the south gate, the enemy camp that stretched for miles was brilliantly lit, shining like day.

Under the firelight, the walls were forested, the flags were fluttering, and the military appearance was very terrifying.

Looking further south on the avenue, countless torches came from the sky, stretching like endless long snakes, slowly marching towards the enemy camp, where more troops were entering the city.

Liu Zhang watched in horror at the head of the city for more than a few hours, but he saw that the fire snake in the south was still not extinguished, and the number of enemies entering the city seemed to be endless.

It was late summer and early autumn, and it was getting cooler in the middle of the night, but Liu Zhang's back was sweating profusely, and his robe was like a blood-soaked locust, clinging tightly to the flesh.

After seeing Liu Fengjun's mighty military appearance, Liu Zhang was really desperate this time.

"Lord, the enemy army is coming with a hundred victories, the momentum is so huge, with my chaotic military heart in Chengdu, how can I compete with it, my lord, whether it is a battle or a surrender, you must think twice."

Seeing Liu Zhang's shocked expression, Chen Zhou lost no time in persuading.

Liu Zhang's heart twitched again, this time, he didn't blame Zhou again, but looked at the bureaucrats with a bitter face, and asked in a trembling voice: "What about you?" Do you think I should surrender or defend me? ”

The left and right, such as Dong He's generation, were also silent, although they did not explicitly support Qian Zhou's remarks, but the implication was obvious.

None of his subordinates were stubbornly guarded, and Liu Zhang's heart immediately cooled again.

At this moment, although there are ministers around him, Liu Zhang feels that he is a complete loner.

Xu Jing and the others, people have fled across the city to Liu Feng, and Dong He, Qian Zhou and others, although they did not openly betray themselves, but their hearts have already been cast to Liu Feng, even if Liu Zhang is incompetent, this point of people's hearts can still be perceived.

"Lord, I think it's better to send someone to see Liu Feng and promise him a compensation for cutting the land, in exchange for Liu Feng's withdrawal from the army, maybe you can temporarily relieve the crisis in Chengdu."

Dong He, who had been silent, really couldn't bear Liu Zhang's pitiful appearance, so he came up with such an idea.

Liu Zhang was like a drowning man, and suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw, and his lifeless expression suddenly flashed a little spirit.

Just when Liu Zhang just saw a glimmer of hope, Qian Zhou said: "Liu Feng's army has entered the city of Chengdu, we are exhausted, the other party can seize Yizhou when he sees it, how can he withdraw his troops because of a small profit, you Zai this plan is taken for granted, Liu Feng will not agree." ”

When the head hit Liu Zhang, he was dizzy, and he groaned in pain for a long time, Liu Zhang sighed helplessly: "Now, there is no other way but to try." Youzai, this time I will have to pay you a trip, as long as I can say that Liu Feng can withdraw from the army, I can agree to any conditions. ”

Dong He was stunned for a moment, as if he was reluctant, but after hesitating for a moment, he still arched his hand and said: "I will do my best, I hope I can live up to the trust of the lord." ”

………………………… The Jingzhou army outside the city was not as vast as Liu Zhang saw, in fact, it was only a 5,000-person vanguard army led by Huang Zhong.

Liu Feng ordered Huang Zhong to lead the vanguard to march to Chengdu from Guangdu under the starry night, the purpose was just to create a false impression that the army was suddenly overwhelming the city, and to deal a sudden blow to the morale of the people in Chengdu.

As for the seemingly endless, snake-like soldiers and horses, it was just that Liu Feng learned a trick from Dong Zhuo back then.

That night, after Huang Zhong's 5,000 soldiers and horses set up camp in the city, he quietly sent his troops back to the south, lit torches and pretended to be new troops, and swaggered into the camp.

As it turned out, Liu Feng's strategy was very effective.

A day later, at dusk, the 30,000 troops led by Liu Feng arrived one after another, and went down to the village on all sides of Chengdu, besieging the Yizhou Prefecture.

On the day Liu Feng arrived, he heard that Liu Zhang's envoy Dong He had arrived this morning and had been waiting for him in the camp all day.

After entering the big tent of the Chinese army, a middle-aged Confucian student with a polite and polite character hurriedly got up to give a salute, and said: "Yizhou Mu Mu Chengdu Ling Dong He has seen Liu Zhennan. ”

"Mr. Baby, hurry up and excuse me."

Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Dong He up, and invited Dong He to take a seat, both in terms of attitude and the specifications of the hospitality, he was very enthusiastic.

Liu Feng is so polite to Dong He, on the one hand, he has a heart of love for talent, on the other hand, before leaving, Pang Tong reminded him, saying that there is a virtuous person named Dong He under Liu Zhang in Yizhou, if he takes Yizhou, this person will be of great use in the future, and he must be treated well.

If you talk about this Dong He, it is very different from other Yizhou people.

This person is a native of Zhijiang, Nanjun, Jingzhou, but his ancestors were originally from Jiangzhou, Ba County, Yizhou, and in the early years of Jian'an, Dong He moved his family westward, left Nanjun and came to Yizhou, and served as an official under Liu Zhang, and has been able to achieve the Chengdu order.

This means that Dong He's ancestral home is Yizhou, but he was born in Jingzhou, and he has served as an official in Jingzhou and as an official under Liu Zhang, so it can be said that he is half Yizhou and half Jingzhou.

Although Liu Feng planned to change Liu Zhang's and Liu Bei's practice of reusing Dongzhou people and governing Shu with Shu people, in order to ensure control of Yizhou, he could not completely hand over the military and political power of Yizhou to pure indigenous scholars.

In the army, Liu Feng can certainly use Huang Zhong and others to guard the key points, but in political affairs, Pang Tong Liu Ba and others are flawless, and the use of Jingzhou people to take charge of Yizhou government affairs is itself contrary to Liu Feng's policy of governing Shu, which is bound to cause resentment of the Shu people.

Then, Dong He, who is half of Jingzhou's identity, has a special background and outstanding talent, which happens to be the best choice in Liu Feng's heart.

Because of this, Liu Feng treats Dong He naturally more enthusiastically than ordinary Yizhou scholars.

Receiving such courtesy from Liu Feng, Dong He seemed a little flattered, but he did not relax because of this, and still responded cautiously.

"My lord and General Liu were originally of the same clan, and I wanted to revise the Old Testament because I was confused by others, and I wanted to revise the Old Testament for a while.

After a few polite sentences, Dong He turned to the topic.

Liu Feng had already guessed his intention here, and when he heard this, he just smiled and drank tea, but did not respond.

Dong He hurriedly said: "As long as General Liu can ignore the past suspicions, my lord is willing to cede Jiangyang and Dongguanghan counties as compensation." ”

Liu Feng sneered, "The officials of Jiangyang County took the initiative to surrender to me, as for Dongguanghan County, it is still in the hands of Liu Bei, and my general Yan Yan is leading the army to conquer." Liu Jiyu took these two counties that were not in his hands as compensation, and his abacus was really good. ”

Liu Feng's response was also expected by Dong He, he had to say: "But I don't know how Liu Feng will withdraw his troops, my lord has a word first, as long as General Liu is willing to withdraw his troops, my lord can accept any conditions." ”

"Willing to accept anything?"

The corners of Liu Feng's mouth showed a touch of weirdness, pretending to think for a long time, and said: "Since this is the case, then okay, if Liu Jiyu is willing to give up Shu County, I can consider retreating." ”

Dong He's expression changed suddenly.

Shu County is relative to Cao Ying, shaped like Wei County, relative to Sun Quan, shaped like Danyang, and relative to Jingzhou, it is shaped like Nanjun.

Chengdu County, Yizhou Assassin History Department, is under the jurisdiction of Shu County, if Liu Zhang cuts Shu County to Liu Feng, what is the difference between this and surrender.

Seeing Dong He's situation, Liu Feng laughed and said lightly: "I'm joking, don't be surprised by Mr. Youzai." ”

Dong He also knew in his heart that Liu Feng would not withdraw from the army, and his plan for Liu Zhang was just a little bit of a minister.

At such a point, Dong He had to sigh and arch his hand: "But I don't know how General Liu is willing to withdraw from the army, please make it clear." ”

Liu Feng no longer concealed it, and said: "Mr. Youzai must have heard that my army came from Jiangzhou, and along the way, the county and county officials fell in despair, and in some places, the local heroes and people also killed the county order and took the initiative to open the city to greet them. It can be seen that Liu Jiyu has lost all the hearts of the people, and I, Liu Feng, came to take Shu in accordance with the will of heaven and the people. ”
