Chang Xuan smiled and said softly: "Then where is Lord Wang's share hidden?" ”

Wang Yan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around, and said softly: "Lord Chang, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Chang Xuan waved his hand, looked at Wang Xuan, and replied softly: "This is my mansion, and the people are also my confidants, so they are not in the way." ”

Wang Yi still had palpitations, stretched his neck, approached Chang Xuan, and said softly: "Master Chang, I can't hide it, I really received such a letter of persuasion, I really don't know what to do!" ”

"Oh, if Lord Wang has any worries, just tell the old man, and the old man will get through the difficulties with you." Chang Xuan Zhengse said.

Wang sighed, expressed his inner worries, and said that no matter which one he chooses, there is a great risk.

If you choose to reply to the letter, once the letter is found by the soldiers defending the city and handed over to Li Shi, it must be a great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and the net worth and life of yourself and your relatives will be confessed.

If you choose not to reply to the letter, then you will lose the best opportunity to take refuge in the Jin army, in case the Jin army breaks through Chengdu, those officials who have taken refuge in advance will definitely be promoted and reused, and the officials who do not reply to the letter will not have such an opportunity, and may even be regarded as Li Shi's henchmen, so they will be killed.

In other words, whether you choose to reply or not, you may face the disaster of death, and this is obviously what Wang Yan does not want to see.

"Master Chang, what do you think, I really can't make up my mind!" Wang frowned and asked Chang Xuan for advice.

Chang stroked his beard. He said softly: "In the opinion of Lord Wang, the Jin army is attacking from the north and south, is it possible for Chengdu to hold it?" ”

"This, I think it can't be kept, but Lord Feng said that it can be kept, maybe it can really be kept!" Wang Yi replied casually.

"Hahaha! Didn't you see that Lord Wang was in the main hall today? Lord Feng is not sure about defending the capital! When he said that he could defend the capital, his voice was loud. But there is no confidence at all. In particular, it can be seen that his heart is empty. Chang Xuan said loudly.

"Oh, why did Lord Feng do this, vainly talking about the strength of our army. This is a crime of deception! Wang Yi was a little surprised.

Chang Xuan smiled slightly. Explained: "What else can it be. It's nothing more than to reassure the emperor and the ministers, and it can be regarded as loyalty! ”

Wang Yi heard this. nodded, and said softly: "According to Master Chang's analysis, no matter what, it is a matter of time before the Jin army breaks through the capital, so if you and I don't plan early, won't there be a disaster of killing." ”

Chang Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, the death of the Han Dynasty is inevitable, if you don't have the heart to be martyred, you can only make plans early." ”

Wang Yi stood up, walked to Chang Xuan's side, and whispered: "Lord Chang, since we have decided to make a plan early, should our army study it, how to reply to the letter, and how to send the letter out of the city safely." ”

Chang Xuan smiled and said softly: "This matter involves your and my lives, so naturally we have to study it carefully, let's go, Lord Wang, let's go to the secret room to discuss." ”

"Okay, Lord Chang, please." Wang Yu said, and together with Chang Xuan, he walked in the direction of the secret room.

#######

Ten miles north of Chengdu, the 5,000 cavalry of the Thunderstorm Legion and the 1,000 men and horses of the baggage battalion had already arrived here and set up camp.

Thunderstorm used the 2,000 men and horses under his command for guard, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses all went to the baggage camp to help, so as to build enough siege equipment to meet the needs of the army to siege the city.

In addition to guarding and building siege equipment, Thunderstorm also sent dozens of scouts to reconnoiter in the direction of Chengdu to thoroughly find out the terrain on the periphery of Chengdu and the deployment of the Shu army in the city.

Less than half a day after the army set up camp, Thunderstorm received many letters from the direction of Chengdu, which were obviously the surrender letters of Shu officials and generals, but the words Li Guang, Li Fu and Hua'an were written on it, so it was not easy for Thunderstorm to open without authorization, so he had to order his henchmen to put away these letters, and quickly send them to the direction of Luocheng and hand them over to Hua'an.

Due to the large number of letters received, Thunderstorm sent five or six waves of men and horses in a row, and there was a steady stream of letters in the camp.

"General Lei, the Shu army has sent so many surrender letters, does Chengdu still need to fight? Just let them come out and surrender, and it will save the construction of so many siege equipment. One of the generals looked at the thunderstorm and said happily.

Thunderstorm shook his head and replied softly: "What do you know, these letters were secretly sent by the generals and ministers of Shu, and they did not dare to come to surrender blatantly, only when our army has the advantage and is about to break the city, they will come to surrender, so this battle still has to be fought, and the siege equipment must continue to be built, you can't be lazy!" It all cheered me up. ”

"Yes, General." The generals under the command of the thunderstorm clenched their fists and led their lives.

Thunderstorm nodded, left the tent, and personally went to the direction of the baggage camp to supervise the construction of siege equipment by the soldiers.

#####

On the road to Chengdu, the 17,000 men and horses under the command of Hua'an are slowly marching towards Chengdu at a predetermined speed.

The Li Yi Legion of the forward, and the Iron Bull Legion of the rearguard, respectively, kept a distance of one mile from Hua'an's pro-military camp, Hua'an and Wang San, riding horses and walking in the front of the pro-military camp, from time to time to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, is it still emotional.

"General, General." A herald of the Thunderstorm Legion, riding his horse towards Hua'an.

"Where did the thunderstorm reach and what is the situation in the direction of Chengdu?" Without waiting for the herald to report, Hua An asked first.

"General Yu, General Lei's entourage has set up a large camp ten miles north of Chengdu, and the direction of Chengdu is well defended, General Lei has received many letters from Chengdu, and he specially asked the villain to send them quickly, please take a look." After speaking, he held up a dozen letters in his hands and dedicated them to Hua'an.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at Wang San beside him, and said softly: "Wang San, I bet that these letters are all letters from the ministers and generals of the Shu army, believe it or not." After speaking, he took all the letters in his hand and flipped through them casually.

"Big brother said yes, then it is natural, it seems that Li Guang and Li Fu have made great contributions again." Wang San replied softly.

"Yes! They have indeed made a great contribution, I really didn't expect that persuasion would really play such a big role, every letter here is a minister and general of Shu State, and they are all big officials! It seems that there are not many loyal ministers under Li Shi's hands! Ha ha! Hua An laughed as he spoke.

Hearing this, Wang San nodded and said: "Li Shi is mediocre, even his two younger brothers have taken the initiative to surrender to our army, how loyal can the rest of his subordinates be?" It seems that the resistance to breaking through Chengdu will be much smaller than we imagined! ”

"I hope so, I hope so!" Huaan nodded, tore open a letter, and skimmed through it.

"Look, look, Li Shi's subordinates are all some sycophants, in such a situation, how can Shu not die, how can my Great Jin not win." Hua An was very happy after reading the letter, and hurriedly handed it to Wang San beside him.

Wang San took the letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help but rejoice: "Big brother, the officials and soldiers of Shu are like arrows to my Great Jin!" Li Shi has become completely alone. ”

"Yes! Such a weak court, if my Great Jin doesn't start early, I'm afraid that I will be preempted by the Zhao State, if so, my Great Jin will not be far away! Hua'an also sighed.

"Big brother, another herald is coming." Wang San looked straight ahead and reminded loudly.

Hua An looked up, and sure enough, another herald from the Thunderstorm Legion rushed over, so he said with great joy: "It seems that there are quite a few people who have surrendered?" It's only been a while, and here comes again, haha! So saying, he rode his horse to meet him.

In this way, Hua'an was connected to five or six waves of surrenders, and until the evening was encamped, there were still heralds sent one after another.

At a distance of fifty miles from Chengdu, Hua'an and his army of 17,000 troops were stationed in a proper position.

The soldiers under his command were busy setting up camp, while Hua An was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the case in front of him was full of a thick layer of surrender letters.

After a cursory glance, Huaan selected some important letters and read them carefully.

These important letters are naturally important officials and generals in Shuzhong, they are highly respected, and Hua'an naturally pays more attention to them.

"The middle scrivener Wang Xuan, the scattered rider often waits for Chang Xuan, yo! These two old guys also came to surrender, and they surrendered jointly, God help me, God help me! Hua An was very happy when he saw the letter signed by the two people, and hurriedly tore it open and read it.

In the letter, Wang Yi and Chang Xuan, first of all, strongly complimented the Great Jin, and even took Hua'an and the Northern Expeditionary Army under his command to compliment, and then, began to list the evidence of Li Shi's crimes, in order to prove that Li Shi is a lawless and faint king, they returned to the Great Jin Dynasty is to take refuge in the Ming Lord, and said that the officials and soldiers in Shuzhong have already centrifuged Li Shi, as long as the Great Jin Dynasty launches a thunderous blow, Chengdu will be broken, so that Hua'an must not give up, so as not to lose such a good opportunity for meritorious service.

After reading this letter, Hua An'an was greatly happy, and his confidence in capturing Chengdu was even greater, and he was determined to attack Chengdu by himself before the arrival of the southern coalition army.

"Big brother, are you still reading the letter? Thunderstorm sent more than a dozen letters, hey! Shu is really hopeless, and such a small official as Lian Zheng and Li Zheng all know that they have written a letter of surrender. Wang San said, putting the dozen letters in his hand on Hua'an's case.

"Huh! Team Zheng, Li Zheng, such a small official, what kind of book to write! You say, tomorrow even the soldiers and the people will have to write a letter of surrender? Hua An quipped with a smile. (To be continued......)
