Fa Zheng laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, the virtuous brother can summon that Deng Zhi, ambush the sword and axe hand in the hall, and make the words clear with him, if you are willing to surrender, you will surrender to the king of Jing together, if you are unwilling-" Fa Zheng made a knife gesture.

Meng Da nodded, nodded more than a dozen henchmen, secretly armed with sharp blades, ambushed under the hall, and took Deng Zhi with the name of smashing the cup. After the arrangement stopped, Meng Da instructed his subordinates to invite Deng Zhi over.

The Jing army besieged the city on a large scale, Deng Zhi did not dare to slack off, and inspected the city in the morning and evening, hearing Meng Da's invitation, Deng Zhi didn't think much about it, and went straight to the city office, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw that Fa Zheng was also in the hall, and said with a slight fist: "The law captain is also there." He didn't know that Fa Zheng had been deposed by Liu Zhang, so he was commensurate with Fa Zheng's old position as a military lieutenant.

Fa Zheng quietly returned the salute, he had no deep friendship with Deng Zhi,

Deng Zhi turned back to Meng Da and said, "I don't know if General Meng is called, what's the urgency?" ”

Meng Da's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that the Jing army is besieging on a large scale, there are few soldiers in the small city of Zizhong, and it may be difficult to defend for a long time, so I want to discuss with General Deng, where to go?" ”

Deng Zhi was slightly stunned, Meng Da didn't use the word how to fight at this time, but used the words "where to go", which is quite interesting, it stands to reason that Meng Da is the main general of Zizhong City, and the current enemy should also fight desperately to fulfill the duty of a minister, but in Meng Da's words, it seems that he has other ideas, Deng Zhi is also a literati, not the kind of military general with a tendon in his brain, his mind turned, and he asked: "According to General Meng's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Meng Da did not play Tai Chi with him in vain, stared at Deng Zhi, and said bluntly: "Liu Zhang is stupid, nepotistic, heroic in Shu, and has many complaints. King Jing's martial arts are benevolent and virtuous in the world, and this time he entered Sichuan, which is in line with the way of heaven. Yang Huai Gaopei didn't know the time, so he refused with soldiers, in a vain attempt to compete with Deyang Jiancheng, but it was only two days. King Jing's army has broken the city, Yang Gao and the two people are in a different place, and they have decided to return to King Jing, so as not to suffer a catastrophe for the soldiers and civilians in Zizhong, and today I invite General Deng to come over, which is to discuss this matter, I don't know what General Deng wants? As he spoke, Meng Da's hand had already touched the tea bowls on several cases, as long as Deng Zhi dared to say something to refuse. Meng Da will not hesitate to throw down the tea bowl.

Deng Zhi's face turned slightly pale, Meng Da's actions were both reasonable and unexpected, the soldiers besieged the city, and there were naturally not a few people who bent their knees and defected, but Meng Da, as the chief general of Zizhong City, did not send a single arrow and did not fight. surrendered the city, which more or less surprised Deng Zhi. It seems that the sudden appearance of Fa Zheng was the inducement for Meng Da to surrender first. However, Fa Zheng is standing with his hands in his hands at this moment, and there is no wave on his face. Deng Zhi clearly saw the murderous intent in Meng Da's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and subconsciously moved his gaze away, but Deng Zhi keenly noticed that there was a faint cold light flashing behind the hall. It is clearly the metallic luster of the weapon.

Cold sweat brushed the ground on the top of Deng Zhi's head to the neck, Deng Zhi knew that Meng Da at this moment had already moved to kill, as long as he was careless, his head was likely to fall to the ground. Moment. Deng Zhi is mixed in his heart, for Liu Zhang, Deng Zhi can't talk about much feelings, after all, he is not Liu Zhang's confidant, his status in Shuzhong, that is, not up or down, not good or bad, in Deng Zhi is also a scholar, the sage book is not less read, the so-called food of the king's Lu loyal to the king, at least loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, righteousness and shame Deng Zhi still understands, for a while he hesitated, dilemma.

Meng Da had already put the tea bowl in his hand, played with it in the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to do things, it is not our injustice, it is really Liu Zhang's weak and benevolent, he can't use the good, he can't go to the evil, and the virtuous and heroic are all buried in the wild." A certain intention has been decided, and General Deng can decide for himself, and he does not dare to force it. ”

Deng Zhi was dripping in cold sweat, Meng Da said lightly, but Deng Zhi understood very well in his heart, he only had half a word in the root of his teeth, but he was afraid that the tea bowl in Meng Da's hand would fall to the ground, and those hidden knife and axe hands would come in an instant, and blood would be splashed in five steps in an instant. Meng Da's words were already here, and they were clearly forcing Deng Zhi to express his position.

For Meng Da, there is indeed no time to waste here, Deng Zhi agrees, or does not agree, the surrender of the city is like an arrow in the string, and it has to be sent, Deng Zhi's attitude is just to decide whether there is one more corpse in the hall.

In the end, Deng Zhi gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "The general is the chief general of the capital, since the general is determined to return to King Jing, a certain general obeys the order of the general, and there is no ambition." ”

Meng Daha laughed, put the tea bowl in his hand back on a few cases, stepped forward and patted Deng Zhi on the shoulder, and said: "General Deng is well aware of righteousness, can be a handsome man, King Jing is generous and benevolent, meritocracy is an act, with General Deng's talent, fame and wealth are also indispensable." ”

Deng Zhi secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he had just slipped back from the ghost gate, and he was still uneasy in his heart, listening to Meng Da's heroic words, Deng Zhi could only respond to Nuo Nuo.

Meng Da and Fa Zheng discussed it, and then erected a white flag on the head of the city, and at the same time, the four gates were wide open and surrendered to the Jing army.

Zhao Yun, who had been waiting outside the city, looked at the white flag erected on the city, and knew that Fa Zheng had succeeded in persuading Meng Da, so he led his army to rush in through the open city gate and take over Zizhong City.

Liu Ze was very happy to take Zizhong City without blood, originally he was very worried about attacking Zizhong City, once the siege was unfavorable, he could not take Zizhong City in a very short time, he would not be able to enter Chengdu, so as not to threaten Liu Zhang, who was far away in Chengdu, Liu Zhang did not have a sense of crisis, so he would not transfer the soldiers and horses from eastern Sichuan back to defend Chengdu, and his plan would be in danger of being miscarried. The surrender of Fa Zheng Meng Da this time not only cleared the obstacles for Liu Ze, but also brought great touch to Liu Zhang, the voluntary surrender of Fa Zheng and others will inevitably have a great impact in Shu, people's minds have changed, the general trend is coming, and the land of Bashu is really going to change.

Liu Ze did not make any stay at all in Zizhong, and rewarded the three of Fazheng Mengda Deng Zhi, and raised the army on the hour, and the surrender army of the original Zizhong City was not reorganized, and it was still led by Meng Da Deng Zhi. After leaving Zizhong, he waved his army westward and looked at Chengdu to kill.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

Liu Zhang was really dumbfounded this time, Liu Ze was able to jump out of the encirclement of eastern Sichuan under the encirclement and interception of hundreds of thousands of troops, and attacked Chengdu directly. The most hateful thing is that Zizhong City is the only barrier in the southeast of Chengdu, Meng Da and Deng Zhi surrendered without a fight, and gave up Zizhong City to Liu Ze, making the southeast of Chengdu a flat river, and the iron cavalry of the Jing army rushed straight to the city of Chengdu unscrupulously. And at this moment, the defenders of Chengdu are only more than 10,000 people, how can they resist the wolf-like Jingjun soldiers?

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Zhang's backbone was cool and cool, Liu Ze's use of troops was really unpredictable, he had been trying to attack Chengdu from the beginning, but he had been circling around the central and eastern Sichuan regions, holding the nose of the Sichuan army, and attracting the main force of the Sichuan army to the east of Sichuan step by step, causing the emptiness of Chengdu's defense, and the long-distance attack aimed at Chengdu.

Finished! Liu Zhang sat on the ground, his eyes full of despair and defeat. A failure, a failure, really a failure!

The news of the attack of the Jing army also alarmed all the subordinate officials in Shuzhong, Huang Quan, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Wang Lei and others hurried to the state pastoral mansion to discuss countermeasures with Liu Zhang.

Huang Quan said to Liu Zhang, who looked depressed: "Don't worry, although Liu Ze is fierce, there are still 10,000 defenders in Chengdu, and Chengdu is deep and strong, and it is not easy for Liu Ze to take Chengdu." As long as the lord can hold Chengdu for ten days and a half, the rescuers can return to Chengdu, and it is not difficult to respond to the foreign alliance to break Liu Ze. ”

Liu Zhang's expression was sad, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Wu Yi is still in eastern Sichuan, the far water is difficult to solve and the fire is near, Liu Ze is unstoppable, how can Chengdu defend?" ”

While everyone was talking, Guanghan Taishou Zhang Su rushed in, came to Liu Zhang, knelt down and bowed, grabbed the ground with his head, and said: "Lord, there is something to be done in a humble position." (To be continued......)
