Recently, rumors have spread in the city of Chengdu, saying that Li Siye has been attacking Chengdu for a long time, and has sent troops to attack the various departments of the Jiannan Army that came to rescue Chengdu.

Jiedu made Li Xun panic, and hurriedly called the staff and generals to discuss the countermeasures, Du Ji and several other surrender factions were still singing about the Jiannan Army, and believed this rumor to be true.

"I said a long time ago, the Longyou soldiers are the strongest in the world, and the Jiannan Army is definitely not the opponent of others, so it's okay, sacrifice the lives of many Shuzhong disciples in vain."

Guo Yingyi and Guo Yinggan brothers have not forgotten Yan Wu's entrustment, and stepped forward and said: "These news are just hearsay in the city, how can they be taken seriously? In my opinion, we should send a few capable people out of the city to find out the news in Shanzhou, so as to distinguish the truth from the false. ”

"Okay, okay." Li Xun rubbed his forehead and said, "Then send someone to investigate." ”

However, Li Siye had already sent an elite squad of cavalry in advance to monitor the various city gates, and to track and strictly investigate the people who went out of the city, and the people sent out by Li Xian were killed in two batches.

Yan Wu didn't arrive at the news, but waited until Duan Xiushi returned to Chengdu with the army in a menacing manner, alarming the defenders on the city gate, and the soldiers hurriedly went to call people, and Li Xun hurriedly rushed to the city, looking at the Tang army below that had suddenly doubled, his face turned pale.

"Didn't Li Siye divide his troops and go to Shanzhou to attack Yanwu? How could he suddenly lead the army back back. ”

Sima Duji, a marching soldier standing on the side, quickly made up the answer: "Could it be that he defeated Yan Wu and came to encircle Chengdu?" ”

The capitulation faction behind them echoed it, as if Chengdu had no way out.

Duan Xiushi waved his horsewhip and ordered: "Bring them all!" ”

The rope-bound captives were still wearing the armor of the Jiannan Army, and they were escorted to the front in rows, their hair scattered, and they looked extremely embarrassed.

Duan Xiushi carried the blood-stained package in his hand and threw it in front of the city gate, and a blue-black human head rolled out of it. Hair bonding.

"This is Yan Wu'er's head, because he refused to surrender after the defeat, he has been beheaded by me. If you are obsessed, this is the end. ”

Duan Xiushi's words were crisp, and he waved his robe and returned to the military formation.

Li Xun looked at the ruined-looking human head below, his legs trembled, and he hurriedly returned to the city tower with the support of his entourage.

Du Ji took the opportunity to feed him at this juncture: "Doctor, don't hesitate any longer, in order to prevent the hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders in Chengdu City from being slaughtered by military disasters, it is better to surrender the city as soon as possible." Li Siye gave preferential treatment to the generals, and I heard that Li Guangbi was still a commonplace, and he was also named the king of the county. Doctor, you are a clan, and Li Siye will be more generous to you. ”

Guo Yingyi couldn't help but sneered: "You Du Ji is for yourself, wow, after surrendering, you can continue to be an official in Li Siye's puppet court." ”

"Jokes." Du Ji clapped his palms and said, "Which of you is not the same as Li Siye?" Which of you can't be an official after surrendering? Now that the Jiannan army has been defeated, our only remaining strength is the unity battalion of 15,000 people in the city, and even if we resist, we will be taken down the city. ”

Guo Yinggan asked, "Who told you that the Jiannan Army was defeated?" General Yan Wu is also a general who can recruit and fight well, how can he be easily hunted and killed. ”

Du Ji stomped his feet and shouted, "It's still hard to be here." His head had been thrown under the city. ”

Guo Yingyi also retorted excitedly: "It's just a head, and I can't tell the truth from the fake!" Du Sima is too anxious! ”

Li Xun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't quarrel with the two of you, aren't your heads still thrown under the city gate?" Send two people to sneak out of the city gate tonight to pick up the head and see if it's true? ”

The conflict between the surrender faction and the main battle faction has ended here, and the Guo brothers have fallen into the disadvantage, perhaps what they said they had done was just to buy Yan Wu a night's time.

That night, when the clouds covered the moon and the night was dark and the wind was high, the soldiers who defended the city quietly lowered the drawbridge, and the two men quietly slipped out of the city, and the sack put the head in the ground, and hurried into the city gate.

Li Xun was anxious not to wait for tomorrow to see it again, so he lit the lamps all night and called everyone into the main hall, and asked the two bold servants to take out the heads from the burlap bags. Guo Yingyi was worried, and rushed forward to identify it first, feeling that the beard and head shape of this head were very similar to Yan Wu, but the dough had been pickled with lime and was blue and wrinkled, and he really couldn't tell whether it was or not.

He could only step aside in silence, and Guo Yinggan also hurriedly stepped forward to check, and could only conclude: "It does look similar, but this is definitely not Yan Wu's head." ”

The surrender faction finally got up: "Don't deceive yourself anymore, this is the head of General Yan Wu, the general who sacrificed his life for the country with all his loyalty, and now his body is unknown, only the head is left and he will be buried thickly, in order to comfort his spirit in heaven." Now that most of the Jiannan Army has been lost to the enemy, I also ask the doctor to point out a clear way for everyone as soon as possible. ”

This was already to lure Li Xiang to surrender, Guo Yingyi and Guo Yinggan stepped forward and said to Li Xiang: "Doctor, you are a member of the Tang Dynasty, how can you surrender to the enemy." There are still millions of grain in the city, 15,000 soldiers, and some people are organized to hold the city, and the Hexi army cannot win a quick victory, and will inevitably retreat to Hanzhong. ”

"Doctor, you have no chance of winning now, you have to think about the 100,000 people in Chengdu and the families of our people."

Guo Yingyi wanted to step forward to persuade him, but Li Xun waved his hand and said: "You two don't need to say more, now that the situation is like this, it is also helpless to sacrifice the city." We are loyal to the Tang Dynasty and to Your Majesty, but we have also persevered to the end, and if we persist any longer, we will be foolishly loyal. ”

"I've decided. Surrender early tomorrow morning! He howled hoarsely, and a few tears were squeezed out of his eyes, as if he was moved by the Tang Dynasty to which he had once been loyal.

Several surrender factions also wiped away their tears, and said with words in their mouths: "Thinking back to the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were many heroes in Shuzhong, Zhong Lingyuxiu, who would have expected to fall into such a situation now." ”

Guo Yingyi and Guo Yinggan looked at the gang coldly beside them, snorted and turned around and left angrily.

……

On the morning of the second day, Li Siye waited confidently outside the city, Li Xun personally held the letter of surrender, holding the seal letter of the Jiedu envoy in his right hand, and the door and the six silk behind him were all rolled up, and they were put in the hands of his entourage, showing a look of embarrassment.

"Open the gates!"

Seeing the gate of Chengdu slowly open, Li Siye breathed a sigh of relief, the public opinion strategy of this dangerous move was finally successful, and they finally opened up the situation in Shuzhong.

He waved his hand and led the army to march to the city gate, and the towering red daqi swept in the wind behind him, and came to Li Xun who was kneeling on the ground and all the descendants, and asked with a proud face: "Who is Li Xun, the son of King Xin'an?" ”

Li Xun kneeled forward half a step, kowtowed and said: "The criminal official is, today I hereby hand over the seal letter of Jiannan Jiedu to the king, and I hereby accuse him." ”

Li Siye laughed a few times, Li Xun felt ashamed and painful in his heart, and lowered his head a little lower. The officials behind him glanced out of the corner of their eyes and peeked a few times, then hurriedly lowered their heads.

He ordered someone to come forward to take the seal letter, and then took all the men and Liuxu, and said to a general behind him: "Cui Ning, since I have appointed you as the envoy of the Jiannan Festival in Sichuan, these things should be taken over by you, I hope you can work hard, do your best to stabilize the situation in central Sichuan, and guard against the invasion of southern Tibet." ”

A smile squeezed into the corner of Cui Ning's eyes, and he stepped forward and said, "The last general should do his best and live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Li Xun and the others raised their heads in surprise, gritted their teeth tightly, and hurriedly lowered their heads to hide their dark resentment. Today, they fell into such a humiliating situation, all thanks to Cui Ning, the leading party, the sword pavilion natural danger that can not be opened, so that Li Siye's rebels can easily cross, there are scum in my Shu!
