Jingzhou Army, camp.

After Liu Xiu withdrew his troops and came back, he quietly waited for news without any move.

The news has come out, and now all you have to do is wait for the news.

"Report!"

Deng Zhan looked excited and came to Liu Xiu's camp.

Deng Zhan bowed and saluted, and then said, "Lord, good news, good news! The Yizhou army has rebelled, and now it is carrying Liu Zhang towards our camp. ”

"Oh, really?" Liu Xiu couldn't help but move.

Victory in this battle means that the rear is secure.

Deng Zhan said: "Jinyiwei has confirmed the news twice in a row, and the Yizhou Army has indeed defected. The rebellious general is named Zhao Ping, and he has now come to us with Liu Zhang and his soldiers. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Such an important thing must be greeted in person. Deng Zhan, come with me. ”

"No!"

With a smile on his face, Deng Zhan followed Liu Xiu out of the camp.

Coming to the 'gate' of the camp, Deng Zhan looked at Liu Xiu, and suddenly said: "Lord, if you take Yizhou, you will have the land of Jingzhou, Jiaozhou and Yizhou, do you consider becoming the king?"

Liu Xiu glanced at Deng Zhan in surprise, how could he ask this question?

Someone has an idea.

Liu Xiu's expression was solemn and he said, "Why did you suddenly mention the matter of being the king?"

Deng Zhan replied: "During this time, the news that Jinyiwei inquired, whether it is a general in the army, or a civil and military official, some people have thoughts and want to make the lord king. ”

Speaking of this, Deng Zhan noticed the change in Liu Xiu's expression.

Seeing that although Liu Xiu's expression was serious, he didn't have any angry look, and continued: "Actually, their thoughts are easy to understand, that is, they think that the lord will be the king, and he will definitely reward the official position, and they can also go further. ”

Liu Xiu said: "Deng Zhan, do you think so too?"

In a word, Deng Zhan's heart suddenly burst.

Deng Zhan was afraid that Liu Xiu would have any ideas, so he hurriedly explained: "The lowly commander of Jinyi Guard, only the orders of the lord are obeyed." ”

Faced with Liu Xiu's questioning, Deng Zhan hurriedly explained.

Liu Xiu bowed his head slightly and said, "Calling the king will bring benefits to the people below, but it will bring me trouble." Now I need strength, not face. So in a short period of time, there will be no idea of being the king for the time being. You can send someone to knock on someone who has a mind and put out the mind for a while. It is the most appropriate thing to do things well and do a good job. ”

"Yes, I understand!"

Deng Zhanchang breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart completely relaxed.

Deng Zhan hurriedly changed the topic, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After a short time, I saw a black line appear on the official road outside the camp. As the distance closed, the black lines became clear, revealing the soldiers.

At the forefront of the military formation, there were Zhao Ping and Liu Zhang.

In addition, there are generals in the army.

Zhao Ping took the lead in surrendering, and the soldiers of the Yizhou Army supported it one after another, because they really couldn't find a reason to resist, let alone the morale to resist. As soon as Zhao Ping took the lead, it was really a response, and everyone responded.

When Zhao Ping led his soldiers to a fifty-step away camp, he ordered the army to stop.

"Whoa!"

The weapons were still on the ground, and it was a great momentum. Immediately, Zhao Ping, who was at the front, knelt down, and all the soldiers also knelt down when they saw this scene.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down, and the scene was really mighty.

Liu Xiu was also shocked when he saw the scene outside the camp, and felt unbelievable.

Interesting!

A smile appeared on Liu Xiu's face.

Zhao Ping said loudly: "Liu Jingzhou, Zhao Ping escorted Liu Zhang to surrender, please accept Liu Jingzhou." ”

The loud voice echoed through the camp.

After Liu Xiu heard the voice, he looked at Wen Ping, who came to his side, and ordered: "General Wen, you immediately send troops to collect weapons, and then take over all the Yizhou soldiers." ”

"No!"

Wen Ping got the order and immediately went to arrange it.

The soldiers who collected their weapons continued, while Liu Zhang and Zhao Ping were taken in front of Liu Xiu by the soldiers.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Liu Yizhou, we meet again." ”

Liu Zhang said angrily: "Liu Xiu, you are despicable and shameless. When we became allies, I didn't expect you to send troops to attack Yizhou. I didn't expect that you had the intention of plotting to seize Yizhou, and even Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were instigated by you, you are so vicious. ”

Liu Xiu sighed twice and said, "It seems that you are very wronged!"

Liu Zhang said: "Shameless!"

Liu Xiu said: "Speaking of shamelessness, this official is going to talk to you." ”

"Who first proposed the alliance? It was you, Liu Zhang, who proposed the alliance with Jingzhou, saying that we should help each other and help each other. But Jingzhou encountered Cao's '' attack, who flinched? You, Liu Zhang, flinched!"

"In order for you to send troops, this official actually wants to cede Nanyang County to you, so that you are willing to send troops. ”

"You say, are you an ally?"

Liu Xiu looked disdainful and said, "It's really embarrassing to take advantage of the fire to rob the criminals, and to have the face to say that this official is really embarrassing." ”

When Liu Zhang heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

As a politician, it is naturally impossible for him to help Liu Xiu unconditionally. Especially Cao 'Cao' attacked Liu Xiu, Cao 'Cao' had countless armored soldiers, and it was impossible for Liu Zhang to send troops for no reason.

It's just that now that he talks about it, he is naturally at fault.

Liu Xiu continued: "When you sent troops into Nanyang, after Deng Xian took over, he turned around and surrendered to Cao Cao. ”

"Who regained the lost territory and recaptured Nanyang? ”

"After the official defeated Cao 'Cao', he just stabilized Nanyang County, and you came again, and you cheekily said that you should let the official 'hand' Nanyang County to you, do you think it is possible?"

Liu Xiu's face was full of disdain, and he said, "You are really naïve, you are really shameless." ”

Liu Zhang listened to Liu Xiu's words and took two steps back.

The expression on his face was very embarrassed.

Liu Zhang originally wanted to humiliate Liu Xiu, but he didn't expect that he just made a start, and Liu Xiu said a lot of crackling, making him simply unable to fight back.

Liu Xiu continued: "You and I were originally allies, but what about you Liu Zhang? ”

The corners of Liu Zhang's mouth twitched, attacking Jingzhou was the worst decision he had ever made.

The defeat in that battle can be described as a heavy loss.

Liu Xiu stared at Liu Zhang and said, "Do you still think that this official is a shameless person? You ask yourself, if you didn't lose the morality of being an ally, would this official have dealt with you? Liu Zhang, if you don't have two sides and three swords, and you don't have a wolf's heart and lungs, this official will not attack Yizhou, but Sun Quan." ”

After Liu Zhang heard this, he was very sad in his heart, and he regretted it incomparably.

If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?

Liu Zhang looked at Liu Xiu, his eyes rolled slightly, and said, "Liu Jingzhou, I know it's wrong, I know it's wrong." Spare me, I am willing to submit, I am willing to submit to you. ”

At this moment, Liu Zhang no longer had the slightest intention of resisting.

In my heart, my bowels are full of repentance.

Liu Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, this official won't kill you." After all, you and I are from the same clan, and we both have the blood of the surname Liu flowing in our bodies. ”

"Whew!"

When Liu Zhang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as you can hold on to your own life, everything is easy to say.

Liu Xiu's eyes fell on Zhao Ping, and he said: "You led the army to surrender to Cheng, this official is very pleased, about your arrangement, after rectifying Yizhou, you have your own arrangements." This official will not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you Liu Jingzhou!"

Zhao Ping's face was full of smiles, he led people to surrender, isn't the picture Liu Xiu's weight?

As Liu Xiu, he said that he would not treat him badly, so he naturally would not break his promise.

Liu Xiu looked at Wen Ping and ordered, "General Wen, take Liu Zhang down and detain him." The affairs of the Yizhou Army, you and let Zhao Ping also assist in handling it, and reorganize it as soon as possible. At the same time, we approached Chengdu and controlled the city of Chengdu. ”

"No!"

Wen Ping got the order and acted quickly.

In half a day, Wenpin completed the task.

The army set off and marched towards the city of Chengdu.

Liu Xiu had 30,000 troops under his command, while Zhao Yun had 30,000 under his command, plus the nearly 40,000 Yizhou soldiers who had been captured, as well as the soldiers who had been captured before, the number of the entire army exceeded 100,000, which can be described as unparalleled.

When Liu Xiu led the army to arrive, the city 'gate' of Chengdu City opened, and Fa Zheng and Zhang Song led officials to greet him.
