Ma Tan came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, walked to the battlements of the city wall, and said in a trembling voice,

"I'm a big man joining the army, I don't know what happened to General Boyo?"

Jiang Wei took a closer look, recognized Ma Yan, and immediately laughed,

"It turned out to be Mr. Youchang! I haven't seen you for a long time, but I didn't expect your demeanor to be the same! ”

He paused and said bluntly,

"On the orders of the Emperor of Great Wei and the King of Qi, this general specially came to crusade against Liu Bei."

"If you know each other, quickly open the city gate, surrender and surrender, and still lose the position of the marquis."

"But if you insist on resisting, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs!"

Although Fa Zheng's instructions to Ma Jian were to let him hold on for a period of time, and then surrender after seeing that the situation was not right.

But seeing that the Wei army was raging, and some unknown object was flying in the sky, Jiang Wei also threatened to slaughter the city.

And the soldiers in the customs have long been unmotivated.

Therefore, Ma Tan just thought about it for a while, and chose to surrender very shamefully.

"General Boyo, I...... I give up! ”

A moment later, the gates of Mianzhu Pass were opened, and the mighty Wei army poured into the city, disarming Ma Tan and others and putting them under house arrest.

After taking Mianzhu Pass, Jiang Wei and Deng Ai did not hesitate.

They left a small team of soldiers and horses to garrison Mianzhu Pass to take care of Ma Tan and others, and they led the rest of the troops to continue to pounce on Chengdu.

……

As for Ma Tan's surrender without a fight, the city of Chengdu knows nothing.

Palace.

Liu Bei looked at the music in his hand, and his face was extremely pale.

After he returned to Chengdu with his army yesterday, he killed several Yizhou scholars who were about to move.

But the biggest headache for him was not these scholars, but the prices in the city.

After the implementation of the economic war in Yangling, the prices of Shu Han were originally high.

Recently, Shu Han first lost the Jianmen Pass and was defeated by Fucheng.

The whole of Shu Han was filled with panic, and prices naturally rose wildly!

Before, the price of a bucket of rice was about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan, but now it has almost risen to 500,000 yuan a bucket!

When it costs 500,000 marks to buy a slice of bread, it means that the social order is about to collapse!

Not only did the Yizhou Shi clan take advantage of the fire to rob, but those homeless people who couldn't survive were also wantonly looting in the city!

Fortunately, Liu Bei led the army back in time, otherwise there would be no need for Cao Wei to send troops to attack, I am afraid that Shu Han himself would have collapsed!

"Mr. Xiaozhi, what do you do?"

Liu Bei forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Fa Zheng on the side.

Fa Zheng frowned tightly, pondered for a moment, and then said softly,

"For those displaced people who are making trouble, they must be imprisoned. In the future, if Cao Wei besieges the city, we can also send them to the head of the city to defend. ”

"As for the other hungry people in the city, the minister suggested that Your Majesty should still open a porridge shack and give soup to the kitchen."

The reason why Fa Zheng did not suggest that Liu Bei directly bulk grain was simple.

The Wei army is about to fight, and Shu Han's own food may not be enough.

If you want to hold on, you can't scatter food!

"It's good ......"

Liu Bei nodded lightly.

At this moment, Chen Zhi walked in quickly, and said with a happy face,

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei, Fa Zheng, Zhang Fei and others were all in high spirits!

Although Fa Zheng, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and others are all resourceful, they are far inferior to Zhuge Liang in terms of internal affairs.

Now Zhuge Liang has rushed back, but he can solve a lot of trouble!

"Minister, meet Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang, who was in the dust, took Wang Ping, Gao Xiang and others into the hall and saluted respectfully to Liu Bei.

"The prime minister has come back from afar, it's really hard, please take a seat!"

Liu Bei immediately instructed the eunuchs to prepare for Zhuge Liang to sit down.

As soon as Zhuge Liang sat down, Liu Bei told him all the problems in the city.

After listening, Zhuge Liang also frowned slightly.

He pondered for a long time, and then said slowly,

"Although this matter is troublesome, it is not impossible to solve it."

"The prime minister is really smart!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said,

"Please also ask the prime minister to solve the way."

"In the final analysis, these things are caused by those Yizhou scholars."

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice,

"If Your Majesty can say that the Yizhou Shi clan can be moved, all problems can be solved!"

When Liu Bei, Fa Zheng and others heard this, they all fell into deep thought.

As Zhuge Liang said, all these problems are caused by the Yizhou scholars.

If it weren't for the fact that they bought copper coins and induced the people to abandon farming and hemp, the situation in Shu Han would not have collapsed like this.

If you can persuade them to come forward to stabilize the order, and then take out all the food they have stored, then the problem will be solved!

But everyone knows that it's not that simple!

Previously, Liu Bei promoted Huang Quan to General Wei, but he never saw Huang Quan say anything.

"Big brother, the situation is so urgent, we don't need to give them a good look!"

Zhang Fei said angrily,

"I'll send someone to tie them up, and if they don't know each other, kill them directly!"

"Third brother, don't be reckless!"

Liu Bei hurriedly called Zhang Fei to stop.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the general said is very reasonable."

Zhuge Liang spoke softly,

"The situation is so urgent, if our Shu Han is not guaranteed, what is the use of keeping them?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Fa Zheng nodded heavily.

"The minister seconded the proposal plus one!"

"Plus two!"

In the face of everyone's persuasion, Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind.

"Third brother, go and invite General Wei and the others."

"But the third brother must remember, don't be impulsive, invite them first!"

Liu Bei admonished.

Right now, Cao Wei may come over at any time, and he doesn't want infighting to break out in the city first.

If possible, it would be better to settle it peacefully.

"Command!"

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the palace with a team of soldiers in the city.

The situation was turbulent, and all the people of the Yizhou faction gathered in the Huangquan Mansion.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Fei was leading him, he didn't have time to escape, so he was blocked by Zhang Fei.

Looking at Huang Quan, Ma Zhong, Qian Zhou and others, Zhang Fei showed a hideous smile,

"Okay, I knew that you villains got together and acted in an embarrassment!"

"What does the general mean by that?"

Huang Quan pretended to be calm, glared at Zhang Fei and asked.

"Don't fuck me pretending to be garlic!"

Zhang Fei didn't bother to talk nonsense with Huang Quan, and waved his hand,

"Arrest them all!"

"General, we are all court officials, you want to arrest us, do you have His Majesty's will?"

Huang Quan said sharply.

At this time, Zhang Fei completely forgot Liu Bei's instructions, and just sneered,

"Don't nonsense, but whoever resists, don't be killed!"

Under Zhang Fei's threat, all the Yizhou Pai Shi clan were tied up and taken to the palace.

Liu Bei was waiting anxiously with his ministers, and suddenly saw Huang Quan and his party tied up in the palace, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
