Chapter 135

The power of this military envoy is great, and he is the Qin Cha who is in charge of the king's power.

And Wang Zhaoyuan is even more than half a pound and eight taels with Zhao Jiza.

Meng Chang sent Li Hao and others to set up a banquet to see off the army, Wang Zhaoyuan commanded the military with a iron in his hand, compared himself to Zhuge Liang, and said to Li Hao: "Where is it just to resist the enemy army when I march this time?" I lead these 20,000 or 30,000 carved face evil children, and it is as easy as pie to seize the Central Plains! ”

As soon as Zhao Jizha arrived, he replaced Han Jixun, the envoy of the Xiongwu Festival who was originally stationed in the local area, and Wandi, the assassin of Fengzhou, and assumed the position of the top military general in the local area.

This Zhao Jizha took the concubines and the drama along the way, was beating gongs and drums, playing and singing, just arrived near Lizhou, heard that the Zhou army had pulled out eight military camps of the Shu army, and was so frightened that he did not dare to continue to advance, and entered the world to write to Meng Chang, asking for dismissal, and at the same time sending the army's baggage back to Shu with his concubines and plays.

After that, Zhao Jizha returned to Chengdu alone.

All the subjects in Chengdu thought that the Shu army had suffered defeat on the front line, and the whole city fell into a panic.

Meng Chang asked Zhao Jiza about the front-line war, but Zhao Jizha couldn't answer anything.

Meng Chang was very angry, and directly arrested Zhao Jizha and killed him.

What is the use of killing, at this time, Wang Jing of the Zhou Dynasty began to concurrently serve as the envoy of the southwest camp, and Xiang Xun concurrently served as the supervisor of the camp and horses.

Wang Jing has already captured Qin and Jieerzhou, while Xiang Xun and Zan Jurun have successfully captured Feng and Chengerzhou, and the two armies will meet in Chengzhou. Guo Rong quickly captured Tongzhou.

Meng Chang didn't know that the four states of Ludao had fallen, and he hurriedly commanded Li Tingqi to be the commander of the North Road. The Left Guard Shengbu Army commanded Gao Yanyu as the envoy, and Zhao Chongtao as the capital supervisor of the guest province, and led the army to rescue.

And at this time. Guo Wei, who got the good news, was surprised.

This victory must have come too easily, so someone was sent to confirm it.

When he heard that the results were true, Guo Wei began to think about getting bigger results.

He ordered the army that had joined forces in Chengdu to move south quickly and take Chengdu through Xing, Li, and Mianzhi.

Ordered Guo Rong to go south from Shunba Water in Tongzhou to Hezhou, and then attacked Chengdu in Jingzi and Jian Erzhou, sealing Meng Chang's way to flee south.

This was supposed to be a local battle to recover the lost territory of the four states, so far. was seized by Guo Wei and turned into a war to destroy the country.

February 25.

Wang Jing and Xiang Xun, who went south of the Zhou State, and Wang Zhaoyuan's department of the Shu army met unexpectedly in Sanquan.

Although this Wang Zhaoyuan compares himself to Zhuge Liang, he is indeed an embroidered pillow. After only one round of battle on the battlefield, he turned around and fled with his own army. When the generals of the Shu army saw that the commander-in-chief had run away, they naturally followed, so they ran and chased. Until the time of the Jibai River. Wang Zhaoyuan stopped his footsteps, and at this time he finally made a smart decision, that is, to burn the Jibai River pontoon bridge to block the pursuit of the Zhou army.

And Wang Zhaoyuan himself retreated to the sword gate, waiting for backup.

It's a pity, maybe it's the will of heaven to destroy Shu, and the head of the Zhou army said to Tao to listen to the Shu army captives: "Come to Su Xiaolu and meet with the road from Qingqiangdian south of Jianmen." ”

After Wang Jing discussed with Xiang Xun. Divided the troops into two roads, and walked to Su Xiaolu to Xun. The northern fencing gate was attacked by Wang Jing, Wang Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yantao were defeated and captured. When Li Tingqi heard the news of the defeat of Wang Zhaoyuan and others, he also fled back to Chengdu.

As soon as the sword gate was broken, Chengdu was exposed in front of the Zhou army.

When the news reached Chengdu, the government and the opposition of Shu were shaken.

Meng Chang sent an envoy to the state of Chu to rescue Baili Wuji, and at the same time sent a rescue envoy to the Northern Han.

At the same time, he ordered Gao Yanyu to lead an army of 30,000 to the north to resist the Zhou army.

No, Gao Yanyan was defeated by Wang Jing again outside Mianzhou City, and Gao Yanyan retreated into the city.

The next day, Wang Jing led an army to attack the city, and Gao Yanyu was defeated again and retreated to Zicheng.

Judge Luo Ji persuaded him to withdraw, and Gao Yanyu said: "I couldn't hold Qinchuan before, but now I retreat, although the monarch doesn't kill me, how can I see the Shu people!" ”

Luo Ji persuaded him to surrender again, but Gao Yanli did not agree, so he set himself on fire and died.

As soon as Gao Yanyu died, Luo Ji surrendered, the remnants of the Shu army were routed, and most of the generals were captured.

Defeated repeatedly, there was no one in Shu who dared to stand up and speak out.

Meng Chang asked the plan gloomily, Shi Hao thought that the Song army was coming from afar, and it could not last long, so he should gather troops to hold on and wait for the eastern soldiers to be tired.

Meng Chang sighed and said: "The first emperor and I have been raising soldiers with warm clothes and delicacies for forty years, once we face the enemy, we can't put an arrow to the east for me, although I want to hold on, who can defend it for me?" ”

At this time, Meng Chang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, the king of Chu Baili Wuji would send troops to save him.

But the reality is cruel, the envoy sent by Meng Chang arrived in Zizhou and was intercepted by the oncoming Guo Rong's troops.

The probability that the envoy will be intercepted is very small, and it will only be discovered through the Zizhou City Gate.

At this time, it was only a day before Zizhou was captured by Guo Rong.

Maybe it's providence to kill Meng Chang.

When the news of Guo Rong's defeat of Zizhou came, Meng Chang had no intention of fighting. The route to escape south has been sealed, and Wang Jing of the north has gone south in a devastating manner.

Meng Chang was desperate. He believes that at this time, Baili Wuji is willing to send troops to rescue, and it is too late, and the army will not be able to reach Chengdu in a month from the nearest Gyeongju.

Meng Chang regretted the suggestion of the listener Zhao Jiliang even more, and transferred Han Jixun, who was really good at fighting, to Qianzhou as the envoy of Wutai Festival, to prevent the westward advance of Baili Wuji. And now, if you desperately resist, the Zhou army will be killed if it breaks through Chengdu, and it is better to die than to live, it is better to surrender the city.

Meng Chang was completely desperate, and with the only trace of unwillingness in his heart, he summoned the prime minister's mother Zhaoyi, Han Baozheng and others, and summoned Mrs. Hua Rui to secretly teach the opportunity.

The next day, Meng Chang ordered Li Hao to write a table to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, and Shu died.

Li Hao was originally the former Shu emperor Wang Yan's bachelor of Hanlin, when Wang Yan was defeated, Li Hao wrote a table for him, and now he wrote a table for Meng Chang, and the Shu people wrote "Shi Xiu table Li family" on his door at night, which was passed down as a joke at that time.

After Meng Chang surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty, he was immediately sent to Bianjing, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.

From Guo Rong's order to the westward expedition to Meng Chang's surrender, it took only sixty-six days.

The total army of the Zhou Dynasty on the Second Route was only more than 70,000 people, and the Shu State had an army of 250,000 people.

The most despicable thing is that around the capital, there were as many as 140,000 troops who surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty with Meng Chang.

140,000 people did not dare to fight against the 70,000 Zhou army, it was really exhaustive, and there was no other explanation.

When Wang Jing's department and Guo Rong's department met in Chengdu, they sent a large army to search the entire Chengdu city, but they did not find the mother of the prime minister of Shu, Zhaoyi, Han Baozheng and others, and even Meng Chang's favorite concubine, Mrs. Hua Rui, could not be found.

Han Jixun, who was transferred to besiege Qianzhou to serve as the envoy of Wutai Jiedu, heard about the military situation and sent troops from Qianzhou to Yuzhou, when he heard the news of Meng Chang's surrender, so he had no choice but to return to Qianzhou.
