"Finally arrived at the city of Chengdu!"

Chu Tian looked at the majestic Chengdu City, and his heart was surging.

After taking Chengdu City, basically Shu has won eight or nine out of ten.

The importance of Chengdu's position in Shu is equivalent to that of Luoyang and Chang'an in the Han Empire.

The unification of the Han Empire was within reach.

Chu Tian only led 5,000 iron cavalry to break through the outer defense line of Chengdu, and by the way, he recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Shu.

If there are only such a small number of troops, Chu Tian does not dare to attack Chengdu, but Chengdu City has internal ghosts to respond, then Chu Tian can completely reproduce the script of Deng Ai's entry into Shu.

Chutian was stationed in the northern city of Chengdu, peeking into Chengdu City, waiting for Zhang Song to answer.

There were still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Chengdu, but Wang Meng didn't dare to go out of the city to meet the battle.

The reason is also very simple, the elite of the Shu army is either in Hanzhong or in Nanzhong, and there is no special army in Chengdu that can deal with Chutian's iron cavalry.

In addition, Wang Meng divided 30,000 troops to the south to block the Huo'an army marching to Chengdu, and his doppelganger was weak.

Mianzhu, Fuxian and other places each have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are encircling Chutian.

However, Chu Tian looked at it as if it were nothing.

As long as Chengdu is taken and the families of the soldiers of the Shu army are obtained, most of the Shu army will definitely surrender without a fight.

The Yizhou family has a lot of wealth in Chengdu, and winning Chengdu is the lifeblood of the local families.

Wang Meng stood on the majestic north city wall of Chengdu, looking at the soldiers and horses of the Xia army outside the city, and was silent for a long time.

With Wang Meng's intelligence, what is the current situation in Yizhou, his heart is clear, but Wang Meng is still holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"The Xia army only used thousands of soldiers and horses, mixed with more than 10,000 soldiers, thinking that they could capture Chengdu?"

Wang Meng believed that unless the Xia army came with 100,000 people, he would be sure to capture Chengdu, which Wang Meng defended with 50,000 men.

As a huge city, Chengdu has towering walls and arrow towers, and if everyone works together, even if 100,000 Xia troops can't capture it.

And now, the Xia army only came with a few thousand cavalry, and they were wrapped up in the Shu army captured along the way.

Suddenly, Wang Meng's heart moved, and he probably understood what Chu Tian meant.

"It is impossible for the Xia army to be in danger for no reason. Then the soldiers and horses of the Xia army under the city must be eighty or ninety percent sure to take Chengdu...... It turned out that there was an internal response, and it seems that the families in Yizhou have made a choice, Chengdu, which cannot be kept. ”

Wang Meng understood and sighed.

This is the decision of the Yizhou family.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the local family had a lot of influence in the world of "Lord".

Even if the lord recruited the civil and military generals of other dynasties, the taxes and conscriptions could not bypass the local families of the Three Kingdoms.

Many middle and low-level military generals and civil officials still come from local families, and they can meddle in taxation, military conscription, agriculture, and the economy.

Liu Bei, Chen Xi, and Wang Meng belong to outsiders, not native Yizhou clans, so they rely more on the strength of the Yizhou family.

It is not for nothing that the family that continues to support Liu Bei has changed, but with the erosion of the situation in Yizhou, more and more families who have seen the wind have changed their position.

Baishui guards Yang Huai and Jia Meng surrendered without a fight, which already represented a group of Yizhou families who rebelled.

Wang Meng can't blame these families either.

The war for the unification of the Han Empire was only a struggle between the princes for interests, and it was not possible to talk about whether one side was just or not.

The Yizhou family has helped Liu Bei and Wang Meng a lot, because of the hundreds of thousands of people killed in the war, the population of Yizhou can no longer bear more casualties, otherwise in the next few decades, the population of Yizhou will be much smaller than the population of other states.

"The Yizhou family jumped back, so the people who defend the city must have spies. Fa Zheng? No, it's not him, it's mostly Zhang Song, and ......"

Wang Meng knew this in his heart, and even made a list of families that might have rebelled in his heart.

But what to do with them?

Wang Meng paced back and forth on the city wall, his green shirt moving with the wind.

If it was an ordinary general, the person who learned that the city was about to rebel might have taken it down, however, Wang Meng fell into consideration.

"Urgent! Huo An, the capital of the Western Regions, led an army of 200,000 out of the Nanban Mountain, broke our army in Guangdu County, killed 30,000, and the defenders of Guangdu County were wiped out! ”

“……”

The 30,000 defenders Wang Meng had sent to defend the south of Chengdu not long ago were wiped out by Huo An.

Huo An's forces were a combination of the Mongol cavalry, the Southern Barbarian army, and the surrendered troops of Qianwei County, and had enough troops to launch a ferocious offensive and directly attack, completely annihilating the 30,000 defenders of Guangdu County.

Huo An and Chu Tian have already encircled Chengdu from the south and north.

The general of the Shu army who reported the news looked at Wang Meng cautiously: "Military advisor, what should we do?" ”

Wang Meng didn't answer for a long time, and finally said slowly: "You lead a team of elite soldiers, so ......"

The generals of the Shu army widened their eyes: "Military advisor, do we really want to do this?" ”

Wang Meng sighed: "The general trend has gone. ”

When night fell, the North City Gate of Chengdu, as the military general of the Xia Army, changed the guard and controlled the entire North City Gate.

Zhang Song specially came to the north city gate to make sure that he had changed into soldiers and horses from the surrender faction.

"When the time comes, take the fire as the signal to answer the king of Xia."

"Understood."

"Wang Meng is Liu Bei's military division, and he will definitely lead his troops to resist, and I led my private soldiers to kill Wang Meng. Wang Meng did not expect that he would be killed by me. ”

After Zhang Song determined that Beicheng had an internal response, he and several people from the family gathered more than 1,000 private soldiers to attack Wang Meng.

Wang Meng suppressed the family, and some people were dissatisfied.

Chu Tian couldn't sleep at night, and led 5,000 iron cavalry troops outside the gate of Chengdu Beicheng, waiting for a signal.

"Zhang Song is greedy, he shouldn't regret it."

"Lord, look, there's a signal in the city!"

Himihu's soft cry brought Chu Tian back to his senses.

In the North City Tower, sure enough, there was a Shu general who waved a torch to receive the Xia army into the city.

The north gate of Chengdu was opened, and Gao Shun led the trapping camp and led the advance to the city to prevent Wang Meng from setting up an ambush or the Shu army from surrendering.

Soon, the trap camp that entered the city occupied the city gate and returned to Chutian.

"Attack Chengdu, take the city lord's mansion directly, and don't plunder!"

Chu Tian repeatedly ordered that after the capture of Chengdu, this place would still be an important main city for future attacks on the Donghu Kingdom and even on the Indian Peninsula, so Chu Tian would never want this giant city to be destroyed.

Five thousand iron cavalry galloped into the city and took the city lord's mansion!

Soon, the Iron Cavalry entered the city, causing panic among the 50,000 Shu troops in the city!

And near the City Lord's Mansion, there is already a battle!

Iron riding vertically and horizontally, in the city of Chengdu, swords and swords!

The Xia army entered Chengdu, and the defenders of Chengdu had no fighting spirit and surrendered one after another, while Chutian led the cavalry to arrive at the city lord's mansion!

"Chengdu is mine!"

Chu Tian didn't expect to take the most important city in Yizhou so easily, and after almost no decent battles, through strategy and internal response, he achieved his goal.

There were a lot of corpses near the lord's mansion, Wang Meng led a team of soldiers and horses, ambushed Zhang Song, who led the attack on the lord's mansion, and killed Zhang Song and several generals of the family, and the private soldiers of the family dispersed in a hurry.

Wang Meng and Chu Tian confronted each other in the Lord's Mansion.

However, what surprised Chu Tian even more was that Wang Meng quickly took the official seal and surrendered to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian stared at this strategist who surrendered with the official seal in both hands, and always felt that Wang Meng's reaction was too calm: "Wang Jingluo, could it be that you have already guessed that there is an internal response in the city?" ”

Wang Meng replied calmly: "It's nothing more than Zhang Song and others seeing that the general trend has gone, and they sacrifice the city for glory." ”

"Why don't you plan and set up an ambush in the city? If you kill this king, Chengdu can be defended. ”

"Your Highness's words are certainly reasonable. However, I heard that the prince of Xia is both civil and military, and he has the posture of a king. Even though the criminal ministers set up an ambush and killed His Highness, they were only retaliated against by the Xia army on a larger scale. The Son of Heaven was angry, ambushed millions of corpses, and bled for thousands of miles, I am afraid that by then, there will be no people in Shuzhong for thousands of miles, and there will be no grass. The criminal ministers have been harassing Shuzhong for a long time, and they can't bear to resist stubbornly with the lives of the people in Shu. ”

"Then why did you kill Zhang Song and other heroes? Aren't you afraid that this king will kill you and give an explanation to the Yizhou family? ”

Chutian questioned Wang Meng, but Wang Meng was silent.

However, Chu Tian had already seen the answer from Wang Meng's eyes.

Wang killed Zhang Song, first, he was angry, and secondly, he thought that Chutian also wanted to kill Zhang Song and was unwilling to fulfill his promise to Zhang Song, so before surrendering, he simply helped Chutian kill Zhang Song.

This is a Zhuge Liang-style figure who helped Fu Jian's former Qin unify the north, and if Wang Meng does not die, Fu Jian has a chance to unify China.

Wang Meng had completely guessed Nei Ying and Chu Tian's thoughts.

It's not terrible.

"This king doesn't like to get Chengdu, but he likes to get Qing, forgive you for your innocence."

After Chu Tian saw Wang Meng's power, he knew that he would get another all-rounder in the future, so he naturally forgave Wang Meng.

As for Zhang Song and others, who were killed by Wang Meng, Chu Tian also came forward to appease.

All good things belong to the lord, and the black pot ministers come down and carry it.

The personal enmity between these families and Wang Meng will gradually fade as Wang Meng is transferred out of Yizhou.
