Mianzhu Pass was broken by Cao Zhi and Deng Ai, and the general Xiang Zhong and the rear army division were martyred in Mianzhu Pass, and the 12,000 Royal Forest Army was wiped out.

After Cao Zhi and Deng Ai broke through Mianzhu Pass, they went all the way to the south and broke through Guanghan City in one go.

When the news reached Chengdu, the whole country was in an uproar.

The people in Chengdu are panicked, and the people are disturbed, and they are all bursting into the mountains and wilderness, which cannot be forbidden.

After Cao Zhi and Deng Ai discussed, they decided not to attack Chengdu for the time being, but sent a letter of persuasion to Chengdu City, hoping that Liu Chan could surrender to the Great Wei, and Cao Zhi also took the identity of the clan as a guarantee, as long as Liu Chan surrendered to the Great Wei, he would make Liu Chan a duke, and enjoy glory and wealth forever for generations.

In the court of Shu Han, it was even more chaotic, and it was soon divided into three factions:

The first faction was the main battle faction, headed by Shang Shuling Jiang Wan, advocating resistance to the end, and the strategy proposed was to rely on the 20,000 defenders in Chengdu, and then urgently mobilize and arm a group of rebels, as long as they held on for three or five days, they could wait for reinforcements from Jiangzhou Deng Zhi, and with Jiangzhou Deng Zhi's reinforcements, they could hold on until Jiang Wei returned for help.

The second faction is the abandonment faction, headed by Dong Yun, who advocated taking the initiative to withdraw from Chengdu, mainly preserving the royal bloodline, and relying on Jiang Wei's army, there will always be a day when they will return to Chengdu, or they can withdraw to Yong'an and seek temporary refuge in Eastern Wu; Or they could withdraw to Nanzhong and join up with Ma Zhong, so that Jiaozhou and Nanzhong soldiers and horses could fight Cao Wei again.

The third faction is the surrender faction, headed by Guanglu Doctor Qian Zhou, who believes that Cao Wei is the destiny of heaven, no matter which way to reinforce, it is too late to rescue the almost undefended Chengdu, for the sake of today, only surrender can ensure the safety of the people of Chengdu. Liu Zhang also made this choice back then.

This Qian Zhou, known as the famous in Shu, known as the rich five cars, there are many disciples of Chen Shou and Luo Xian, who studied the Six Classics intensively, knew astronomy, became a great Confucian in Shu, and was highly respected.

At that time, Liu Bei besieged Chengdu, talked about the Mandate of Heaven, and strongly persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender, saying that Liu Bei was the Mandate of Heaven, and Liu Zhang was appointed by Liu Bei after surrendering, which was regarded as a credit for Liu Bei to get Bashu.

Later, Cao Pi abolished the emperor and stood on his own, and Zhou discussed with Zhuge Liang and Xu Jing, and Zhou said that the sky was auspicious, and he and his ministers jointly promoted Liu Bei, the king of the Han Dynasty, as the emperor, and made contributions to the establishment of Shu Han.

Later, Zhuge Liang went on the Northern Expedition, and Zhou Zhou said that the celestial phenomena were not suitable for the Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang took Qian Zhou as the history of Tai and led the rear affairs with the ministers of Shuzhong. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times, and Zhou wrote that the sky was auspicious and vicious, and persuaded Kong Ming not to send troops. As a result, Zhuge Liang really died.

Gradually, Shu Han felt that Zhou really understood astronomy and knew the destiny of heaven, and in addition to the identity of Zhou Daru, he also had a little more god stick color, and Shu people took Zhou Yan as a test.

Now that Deng Ai is besieging Chengdu, Qian Zhou stood up and persuaded Liu Chan to surrender to Great Wei on the grounds that the Mandate of Heaven would eventually return to Great Wei, and also refuted the opinions of Jiang Wan and Dong Yun.

In response to Jiang Wan's claim, Qian Zhou refuted: The Great Wei is the destiny of heaven, and its legal system originates from the Zen Rang of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, as evidenced by celestial phenomena. And Guanghan is very close to Chengdu, if they don't surrender, Cao Zhi and Deng Ai can reach Chengdu in one day as long as they send troops.

In response to Dong Yun's claim, Qian Zhou refuted: Fleeing to Nanzhong, not to mention that Nanzhong is a barren land, there are not many soldiers and horses in Nanzhong, and the barbarians in Nanzhong have been rebelling.

And it is not advisable to seek the protection of Eastern Wu, Qian Zhou thinks, "If you enter Wu today, you should be subordinate", Your Majesty fled to Wu, don't you have to be called a minister? Since they are all ministers, why run away?

In the end, Qian Zhou came to a conclusion that for the sake of today's plan, the only way to surrender to the Great Wei and the people's desire is the destiny of heaven and the only way out for Emperor Liu Chan.

After listening to Chen Zhou's eloquent talk, Liu Chan suddenly collapsed, and couldn't help hiding his face and crying.

"If Lone had left more soldiers and horses in Chengdu, he would definitely not have fallen into such a situation, but it's a pity that Brother Jiang Weiyi couldn't rush back to the rescue, would my six-hundred-year-old Guozuo of the Han Dynasty die at Lone's hands?"

Liu Chan's crying caused the ministers to cry suddenly, and the hall was full of wailing.

Qian Zhou took the opportunity to kneel down and persuade:

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible, protect my Liu bloodline, and protect my people in Shuzhong!"

Unexpectedly, Qian Zhou's bitter persuasion was recognized by most people in the palace.

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another to persuade Liu Chan to surrender.

At this time, a loud voice resounded in the hall:

"Anyone who surrenders can be killed!"

This voice is high-pitched and loud, full of energy, as if it contains the righteousness of heaven and earth, as if it is like a twilight drum and morning bell vibrating in the main hall.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Shang Shuling Jiang Wanmeng pull out his sword, look around at the princes with a flushed face, and a pair of eyes glared at the boss, as if he wanted to eat people.

Qian Zhou was about to refute, but Jiang Wan pointed at Zhou and said: "Qian Zhou, as the founding father of the two dynasties and two dynasties, you actually surrendered in vain, if the Mandate of Heaven is really as you said, attributed to Cao Wei, then when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, why did you say that the Mandate of Heaven belonged to Shu Han?" It can be seen that you are a shameless person who only knows how to protect yourself! ”

Qian Zhou retorted loudly: "What nonsense, Jiang Wan, in front of Your Majesty, in front of the princes of the court, you actually drew your sword, do you still have the royal law in your heart?" ”

Jiang Wan said loudly: "Stop! You shameless old thief! Don't you know that the Han army in the world is willing to eat your flesh raw! Since you are a flatterer, you can only hide and shrink your head, and beg for food and clothing; Dare to call the number of days in front of His Majesty! Hao Shou Pifu! Bearded old thief! You are about to return to Jiuquan, at that time, how will you see the twenty-four emperors of the Han Dynasty? ”

Qian Zhou was suddenly stunned by Jiang Wan and didn't know how to refute, so he could only point at Jiang Wan and say, "You...... You! ……”

Jiang Wan continued to scold, "Two ministers and thieves! You have lived in vain for decades, and you have not made an inch of merit in your life, you can only shake your lips and dance your tongue and help Cao to abuse! A broken crest dog dares to bark in front of His Majesty! I've never seen anyone so brazen! ”

After that, Jiang Wan didn't give Qian Zhou any chance, and slammed his sword straight into Qian Zhou's chest.

Between the lightning and flint, the long sword had already pierced deep into Qian Zhou's heart, and a stream of blood rushed out and sprayed far away.

Qian Zhou covered the big hole in his chest in pain, and fell to the ground in extreme pain.

Jiang Wan drew his sword and shouted: "If anyone dares to surrender to Cao Wei again, Qian Zhou will be the end!" ”

In the main hall, all the courtiers were suddenly silent, everyone had never seen Jiang Wan so fierce, the gentle Shangshu Ling on weekdays was gone, and today's Jiang Wan has become a ruthless person who kills decisively.

"Zhugong, Chengdu is the capital of my Shu Han, as the so-called king dies, we will not retreat a step, once we retreat, what should those who have no time to evacuate do? What about the city homes that we have worked so hard to build? My Han still has Jiang Wei, and hundreds of thousands of troops, our army will not retreat, let us work together to defend Chengdu! ”

At this time, Dong Yun was also encouraged by Jiang Wan's words, gave up his original opinion, and raised his arms and shouted:

"Swear not to retreat, defend Chengdu!"

At this time, more and more courtiers began to be stimulated with blood in their bones, and began to shout:

"Swear not to retreat, defend Chengdu!"

Gradually, the shouts became more and more intense, and then converged into a torrent.

"Swear not to retreat, defend Chengdu!"

The courtiers shouted hoarsely, and the sound was heard far away.

Liu Chan was also excited by this force, and finally broke free from extreme fear, made up his mind to live and die with Chengdu, and immediately announced the appointment of Jiang Wan as the Great Sima, overseeing the military and political affairs of the Han Dynasty, and responsible for presiding over the defense of Chengdu.
