When the news of the loss of Deyang reached Chengdu, Liu Zhang's face was like dirt, and he urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter. The Sichuan army successively failed in eastern Sichuan and Deyang, hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out, and now in addition to Jiameng Pass and Brazil, there are still tens of thousands of troops stationed at the border, and there are only more than 10,000 people left in the whole Chengdu.

The situation in Chengdu is dangerous, and all the bureaucrats are like mirrors, just with the remnants of the horses in Chengdu, how can they defeat the wolf-like Jing army heroes, and in front of Liu Zhang, it seems that there is only one way to surrender, but no one dares to say this, and they all stand with their hands down and are silent.

During the banquet, only one person said loudly: "Don't worry, the lord has a plan, and he can retire from Jingzhou." ”

Everyone regarded it as engaging in Zheng Qian, Liu Zhang was overjoyed, and said anxiously: "What is the plan, come quickly!" ”

Zheng Qian said: "Chengdu City is high and thick, the lord only needs to send troops to defend it, even if Liu Ze is powerful, he may not be able to take it lightly." The lord can send someone to Hanzhong for help, and if the inside and outside are combined, he will be able to retreat from the Jing army. ”

Liu Zhang had great expectations, but knowing that what Zheng Qian said was actually going to ask Zhang Lu in Hanzhong for help, his heart suddenly became cold, and his expression darkened, and he said quietly: "Zhang Lu has an enmity with me, and it is still okay to fall into the well, and An can send troops to help?" ”

Zheng Qian said unhurriedly: "Although Zhang Lu has an enmity with the lord, but Xichuan and Dongchuan are each other's inside and outside, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Xichuan is lost, Hanzhong cannot protect itself, and the stakes in this matter, forgive him Zhang Lu also clearly understands." The lord only needs to send a discerning person, Chen said the benefits, and Zhang Lu will definitely be willing to send troops to help. ”

Liu Zhang was hesitating, and another person protested during the banquet: "The lord must not, Zhang Lu is ambitious, and he has long coveted Xichuan." Summoning him into Sichuan, the lord is bringing disaster upon himself. Even if Zhang Lu really retreated from the Jing army and returned to Hanzhong, the lord had a grudge against him for killing his mother, but he was afraid that the front door would drive the wolf and the back door would enter the tiger. Yizhou is devastated, and there is no peace. What's more, how many soldiers and horses Zhang Lu can confront Liu Ze, even if the soldiers in the Han Dynasty are just moths to the fire. The lord succumbed to Zhang Lu, it was for one humiliation, and if he was defeated again, it would be for the second humiliation, so he thought that the general trend of Yizhou had gone, and the lord might as well surrender Liu Ze as soon as possible. I sincerely heard that Liu Zeren is righteous and generous. There is the elegance of accommodating people, and the lord is the same clan of the Han family, if the lord surrenders to the state as soon as possible, he will be able to protect the name of the lord. ”

Everyone looked at it, but the person who spoke was Qin Mi, a native of Mianzhu in the Guanghan Dynasty, Huang Quan was furious, and he drew his sword and shouted: "Zhuzian dares to confuse the master, and he swears to kill him." ”

Qin Mi was shocked. retreated again and again, but Liu Zhang stopped Huang Quan. With a long sigh, he said: "Ziyi's words are not unreasonable, I think that Liu Ze wanted to borrow the road in Yizhou that day, if I am willing to respond, why would I be in today's situation." My father and son have been in Shu for more than 20 years, and they have no kindness to the people, and they have been fighting for many years. Flesh and blood donated to the grass are all my sins. I am at peace, it is better to surrender in exchange for the safety of the people in Sichuan. ”

Wang Lei's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward and bowed. Kowtowed at the bottom of the stairs and shouted: "The foundation of Yizhou was created by Jun Langgong, and An Neng abandoned it lightly?" Even if Chengdu is not guaranteed, the lord can retreat to Yuejun. The Yue Jun Mountain is dangerous and the people are attached, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the lord only needs to endure in Yue Jun for a few years, and when the world changes greatly, he will be able to return to Yizhou. ”

Yuejun County is in the southwest of Chengdu, the mountains are high and steep, but it is also a wild and smoky place, sparsely populated, and the Han and barbarians live together, the turmoil is continuous, and the conditions are extremely difficult.

Gong Cao engaged in Yang Hong and reprimanded: "Why did Wang Zhi say this, the more barbaric and desolate the land, can it be a place where the lord stays with such a golden body? ”

Wang Ti grabbed the ground with his head, kowtowed to his forehead and bled like a note, and said sadly: "Yue Wang Goujian can still lie down and taste the courage, why is the lord afraid of hardships, for the restoration of the country, I also hope that the lord can work tirelessly, not afraid of hardships and dangers, in order to comfort the soul of the prince in the sky." ”

Liu Zhangzhi frowned, waved his hand, and said, "I'm awake, you can stand down for the time being!" ”

Wang Lei cried: "If the lord refuses to agree, Wang Lei is willing to die at the bottom of the stairs!" "Bang bang, bang, still hitting the steps, blood stained the steps.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but say angrily: "Come on, drag the king down for me, what kind of system is this!" ”

Two attendants stepped forward to drag Wang Ti, Wang Ti forcibly broke free, and said with a sad and indignant face: "The lord refuses to listen to the bitter advice of a certain person, and a certain person will die at this step today!" With that, the king slammed into the stone steps and died on the spot.

Everyone was stunned, they couldn't imagine that Wang Ti was so stubborn, and they admonished each other with death, and everyone was moved by Wang Ti's temperament and was silent. Liu Zhang's anger did not subside, and he dragged Wang Ti's body down and cleaned up the scene.

At this time, someone came to report that Xu Jing, the Taishou of Shu County, had surrendered out of the city. Huang Quan Liu Ba was very angry, and asked Liu Zhang for his life to go out of the city to chase him, Liu Zhang's face was gray, and he shook his head lightly and said: "The general trend has gone, everyone has rebelled and left, let him go." Gong Heng, you go and draft a letter of surrender, and tomorrow I will go out of the city to accept the surrender. ”

"Lord-" Huang Quan is face is full of grief and indignation, he is the master, Liu Zhang's documents are naturally drafted by him, but emotionally speaking, Huang Quan really can't accept this errand.

When all the bureaucrats heard this, they were all confused and wept.

At this time, people reported that the Jing army had arrived at the city of Chengdu, Liu Zhang was even more frightened, how fast the Jing army was coming, he led his subordinates to climb the city tower to visit, and saw that the Jing army under the city was like a cloud, the array was tight, the soldiers were fierce, and the dust and smoke stirred up by the horse's hooves rushed straight to Xiaohan, and the air of slaughter came to the face. Liu Zhang's face was like earth, and he said to everyone: "King Jing, if it is not for my weak journey in Shuzhong, I don't know what happened, so I have this defeat, I regret not being at the beginning, I have decided to open the city and surrender to save the people of the city." ”

Liu Zhang immediately sent Li Hui as an envoy to go out of the city to meet Liu Ze and discuss the matter of dedicating the city.

Li Hui held a white flag and went out of the city, and the Jing army besieging the city saw that he was a person who negotiated peace, and did not make it difficult to lead him to Liu Ze. At this time, Liu Ze was sitting in the big tent, and when he heard that Liu Zhang had sent a messenger to come, he ordered it to come in. Li Hui said that Liu Zhang, in order to ensure the peace of the people of Chengdu, Liu Zhang was willing to surrender in Kaicheng.

Liu Ze smiled slightly, Liu Zhang's actions did not surprise him. Now Liu Zhang is at the end of the road, stubborn resistance is not good for him, if you know the current affairs, you can quickly surrender, not only can protect the officials and people of Chengdu, but also will not have much loss to your own status, according to the practice of the Three Kingdoms, the initiative to surrender has always been to give leniency and generous policy, if you hold the idea of rather for the jade to be broken than for the tile, when the city is broken, the jade is burned, Liu Zhang is estimated not to choose this road.

Liu Ze quickly agreed to Liu Zhang's surrender, and at the same time clarified his position to Li Hui, Liu Zhang's title and name should be retained, and all hundred officials in Shuzhong, regardless of rank, will remain in office, and after the Jing army entered the city, Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes.

Li Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the purpose of his trip had been fully achieved, and it exceeded his expectations, especially the guarantee given by Liu Ze that all officials would stay in office, which made Li Hui even more reassured, all officials naturally include Li Hui himself, you must know that Li Hui still needs to rely on this money to support his family, and it is not easy to come out and mix.

Back in the city, Li Hui made it clear to Liu Zhang one by one, saying that Liu Ze's benevolence had come to this point, and this result was the best for Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang no longer hesitated, and decided to surrender the city early tomorrow morning.

The twenty-one years of reign of Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son in Yizhou finally came to an end.

Tears crossed Liu Zhang's cheeks, and loneliness locked his brows, but at this point, Liu Zhang was powerless to return to the sky.

In the early morning of the next day, the east gate of Chengdu was opened, and Liu Zhang led more than 60 military officials to walk out of the city. Liu Zhang held the seal and ribbon symbol representing the power of Yizhou pastor in both hands, and came to Liu Ze, wanting to bow down.

Liu Ze took the first step to hold him and didn't let him kneel down, and the ministers of Shu behind Liu Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Ze's move can be regarded as retaining a little residual face for the Shu people. (To be continued......)
