Chengdu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Liu Zhang hadn't closed his eyes for several days.

The news I hear every day is either that there is a rebellion here, or that there is a fall, or that a certain official or general has surrendered the city. There are true and false news, and he doesn't bother to tell the difference. The only thing that can be determined is that Chen Xu's army is getting closer and closer to him, and Yizhou will no longer be owned by him.

Regarding the rumors in the city, Li Yan, the general in charge of the garrison, initially sent troops to arrest the people who spread the rumors. Later, the rumors spread more and more, and even the lord stopped asking, so Li Yan let it go.

Fa Zheng and Meng Da have been very active recently, and have become guests of many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. For no other reason, they are currently Chen Xu's representatives in Chengdu. Liu Zhang is almost finished, and these high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen have to smile at these two people they have never looked at for the sake of their future future.

Some people loyal to Liu Zhang learned of the situation and immediately reported to him, hoping to kill Fa Zheng and Meng Da to set an example.

Liu Zhang asked drunkenly: "How many people in Chengdu have contact with them?" And how many officials and generals are ready to surrender? How many people are talking about the imminent change of ownership in Yizhou? ”

These loyalists didn't know what to answer for a moment.

Tell the lord directly that more than half of the officials are ready to surrender?

Or bluntly said that there were already people in the city who began to set off firecrackers to celebrate Chen Xu's imminent entry into Yizhou?

Liu Zhang waved his hand dejectedly, "If you don't say it, I also know that the military heart and the people's heart in Yizhou are no longer with me." Alas, when a catastrophe comes, husbands and wives can go their separate ways, let alone officials and ordinary people? ”

"Lord!" Wang Ti had tears in his eyes, "We still have the strength to fight, as long as you give an order, the lower officials will definitely lead their families and servants to defend Chengdu to the death." ”

"Well, no. Yizhou's change of ownership is a foregone conclusion. ”

Liu Zhang was already desperate to defend Chengdu, "I know your loyalty, so I hope you can live well." If possible, help Chen Xu maintain the stability of Yizhou. After all, the people are innocent. ”

"Lord, I, and we ......"

Wang Lei and the others wept silently, if the lord was born in a peaceful era, he is indeed a good lord who is benevolent and loves the people. It's a pity that he was born in the war era, and this slightly cowardly character is not suitable for surviving in the wars of the princes.

With Liu Zhang's words, Wang Lei and others, who were originally going to die for martyrdom, were shaken in their hearts.

The lord hopes that they can continue to be officials in Yizhou, maintain the stability of Yizhou, and protect the people of Yizhou. This is his last wish, and it is also the ardent expectation for them, and as a loyal man, shouldn't he fulfill the last wish of the lord?

……

Outside the city of Chengdu.

Chen Xu had already led a large army to arrive.

The 50,000 horses in Jiangzhou have expanded to 70,000 at this time.

Zhang Liao also came to the city with 40,000 soldiers and joined Chen Xu's army.

"Wen Yuan, the speed of you and the pharmacist is much slower than I imagined." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Zhang Liao hurriedly confessed, "The last general is incompetent, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Chen Xu patted Zhang Liao, "Just kidding, why do you take Wen Yuan seriously?" You're just too serious. Don't always stretch yourself too hard, but relax when appropriate. ”

Zhang Liao's face darkened, this is in the army, can we be serious? If you want to make a joke, find an informal occasion and have it casually, and no one will care about you.

After Chen Xu made a joke, he immediately ordered: "Rest in place for a day, and tomorrow the army will besiege the city!" Misaka, give an order to Fa Zheng and Meng Da, let them cooperate with the army tomorrow, and it is best to persuade Liu Zhang to open the city and surrender. ”

The herald immediately went to convey the military order, and Misaka also conveyed the order to Fazheng and Meng Da through the Internet.

Fa Zheng and Meng Da received the order and began to take active action.

Liu Zhang no longer paid attention to these actions that amounted to rebellion, and their actions became more unscrupulous.

That night, they summoned officials, generals, families, and wealthy businessmen at all levels who had made it clear that they wanted to surrender to convey the instructions issued by Chen Xu.

Some of these generals immediately said that they had already planted men in the garrison of the city, and as long as Chen Xu's army attacked the city, they would open the city gates. Some officials even proposed a joint letter, asking Liu Zhang to take the initiative to go out of the city and surrender with the people of Yizhou first.

Fa Zheng was shocked in his heart, and the joint letter was to force the palace nakedly.

It's not that he is afraid of forcing the palace, anyway, Liu Zhang's general trend is gone, as long as he brings enough people, Liu Zhang has nothing to do with them.

The only thing he was worried about was Chen Xu's opinion on forcing the palace. The means of forcing the palace are a little too intense. If Chen Xu is satisfied with this, his future career will definitely be smooth. If Chen Xu has a bad opinion of him because of this, there may be problems in his career.

He thought about it again and again, and finally said: "Everyone, Liu Zhang's general trend has gone, let's just go with the flow and persuade him to surrender at that time." Why use the means of forcing the palace to ruin your reputation? ”

Everyone nodded yes one after another, forcing the palace is a last resort, and it is indeed impossible to get a bad reputation for persecuting the old master.

The next day, the army besieged the city.

Flags were displayed outside the city of Chengdu, and the drums were thundering.

Zhang Liao urged the horse to come to the city and shouted loudly: "The lord of my family asks Liu Zhang, the lord of Yizhou, to answer." ”

Although Liu Zhang's identity as the lord of Yizhou has existed in name only, Zhang Liao still respects him and still calls him the lord of Yizhou.

Liu Zhang tidied up his appearance and calmly walked to the edge of the city wall, "I'm Liu Zhang, please see your father-in-law." ”

Chen Xu saw from a distance that Liu Zhang's face was calm and his demeanor was decent, but he did not lose the demeanor of the lord of a state.

He urged him to step forward and shouted, "Liu Zhang, I am Chen Xu." I won't say anything more, I hope you can go out of the city and surrender to avoid a military disaster. ”

Liu Zhang was stunned, this is too direct, right? But after thinking about it carefully, there was really nothing to say between him and Chen Xu except for continuing to resist and surrendering out of the city.

The surrounding officials immediately persuaded:

"Lord, for the safety of the people and soldiers of Chengdu, you better go out of the city and surrender quickly."

"Yes, my lord. General Chen is a generous man, you surrender now, and you can be a rich man in the future. If you wait until he breaks through Chengdu, then your outcome will be difficult to say. ”

"My lord, you must think twice, and you must not harm your own life, the people, and the soldiers because of your momentary anger."

Rao is Liu Zhang had already prepared in his heart, but he was still trembling with anger by these officials who urged him to surrender.

"I—I've never treated you lightly in my daily life, and it really chills me that you have done such a thing today. You, you ......"

The officials were ashamed and embarrassed.

Liu Zhang's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and finally took a few steps back in despair, "That's it, I'm not in your way." Someone came, opened the city gate, and let Chen Xu's army enter the city. ”

Yizhou was pacified.
