Liu Zhang has Liu Zhang's plan, and Liu Bei is also following his own plan to garrison Chengdu and surround Chengdu.

Zhang Fei led the army and besieged the north gate of Chengdu City, and the actual commander behind him was Liu Bei, and the military advisor was Fa Zheng.

Huang Zhong led the army to besiege the east gate of Chengdu, and the military division was Pang Tong.

Wei Yan led the army to besiege the West Gate of Chengdu, the military division, Zhuge Liang.

Zhao Yun led the army to besiege the south gate of Chengdu, the military division, no.

General Zilong is both civil and military, what kind of military adviser do you want.

As for Zhang Xi, he is in Liu Bei's army at the north gate, but this time he does not need Zhang Xi to lead the troops to fight, his biggest task is to cut down trees and break stones, and make a large number of counterweight catapults.

After seeing the mottled city wall at the south gate of the city that could collapse at any time, Liu Bei immediately realized the power of Zhangxi's new catapult, and this time to attack Chengdu City, Liu Bei was also ready to concoct the same method under the city of Chengdu.

Although doing so may damage the walls of Chengdu City, what if Liu Zhang really decides to defend and refuses to surrender?!

After Zhuge Liang's reminder, Liu Bei also knew that he still had hidden dangers, and he needed to compete with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Xiahou Yuan in Longyou.

Therefore, Zhang Xi's main task now is to make catapults, and a large number of them. Scale of more than 50 units.

Of course, Zhang Xi is not the only one who has such a task, and it is also his duty as a strategist to give advice with the army.

Therefore, Zhang Xi suggested that Liu Bei send Liu Xun and Zhang Ren back to Chengdu City.

On the one hand, it expresses the meaning that Liu Bei can save Liu Zhang's family, reduce Liu Zhang's will to resist, and prompt Liu Zhang to surrender.

On the other hand, this Zhang Ren is not the Zhang Ren in the romance, in addition to being loyal, his ability is just like that. And Liu Xun, although he is good at guarding, he knows the power of the new catapult, and let him go into the city to persuade him, maybe he can create panic in Chengdu.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and agreed.

After all, Liu Xun is Liu Zhang's son, and Zhang Ren's loyalty also made Liu Bei very moved, such a person can't be killed if he stays, so it's better to let it go and show his benevolence.

Therefore, Liu Xun and Zhang Ren returned to Chengdu City with a letter of persuasion written by Fa Zheng to Liu Zhang.

And Liu Zhang, now his heart is really mixed.

Liu Zhang was quite happy that his son could come back alive, and Liu Zhang always thought that Liu Xun had died when the city of Luocheng was broken.

But Zhang Ren came back alive, which made Liu Zhang a little embarrassed.

Because Liu Xun sent a letter saying that Zhang Ren's raid on Liu Bei's army had failed and had been killed, Liu Zhang, in order to boost the morale of the defenders, also mourned for Zhang Ren and cried in person. Now, is it too late to take it back?!

The most terrible thing is that these two people, a confidant and a son, still came to persuade themselves to surrender when they came back.

This made Liu Zhang very annoyed.

For Liu Xun, it is always his own son, or the eldest son, what can Liu Zhang do?!

But Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang don't have to be polite.

directly attributed the blame for the loss of Luocheng to Zhang Ren, and also accused Zhang Ren of colluding with Liu Bei, which led to the loss of Luocheng, Liu Xun was captured Obviously, this time Liu Zhang didn't want to continue to be polite to Zhang Ren.

As a confidant, it is natural to have the consciousness of taking the blame.

Zhang Ren didn't say anything, but Liu Xun really couldn't bear it.

Zhang Ren is a person, and Liu Xun still thinks that he is exaggerated, and his eyes are high, but this person's loyalty cannot be doubted.

Although he had also misunderstood Zhang Ren, he later explained it clearly, and Liu Xun had to praise Zhang Ren.

This person, for Liu Zhang's sake, doesn't even want a reputation, once the news of the defeat and sneak attack spreads, Zhang Ren will have no place anywhere.

Not to mention the reason why he has not died until now, just to protect the safety of Liu Zhang's family, this kind of person really can't take the blame, and he can't be killed by Liu Zhang.

Once Liu Zhang killed Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren's matter spread again, and no one would be willing to help Liu Zhang defend Chengdu.

So Liu Xun hurriedly stopped Liu Zhang, desperately helped Zhang Ren explain, and repeatedly guaranteed Zhang Ren's loyalty, but Liu Zhang didn't listen at all.

Liu Zhang really doesn't care if Zhang Ren is loyal or not, he now needs someone who can stand up and take the blame for the previous series of defeats, and Zhang Ren is the best candidate.

After all, Zhang Ren was indeed defeated twice, and he lost Mianzhu, if he didn't kill Zhang Ren before, it had already made the families have some bad signs, if he didn't kill him this time, which of those families would help him defend Chengdu, and he didn't go to communicate with Liu Bei privately as soon as possible, maybe when he would open the city gate and surrender.

Therefore, Zhang Ren must be killed, and it is a killing of the Ming canonical punishment.

It's just that Liu Xun tried so hard to dissuade him, and Liu Zhang didn't want to kill Zhang Ren on the spot, so he had to order someone to put Zhang Ren in prison, and when Liu Bei officially attacked the city, he would punish Zhang Renming properly.

And at this time, Zhang Ren still didn't say a word, and let it be disposed of, and Liu Xun. I can only sigh in my heart.

It's no wonder that my family has fallen to this point now.

It's not that I can't understand my father's intentions, but there are some things you really can't do.

When it is time to kill, you must kill immediately, and you can't kill indiscriminately when you shouldn't.

And for the sake of a group of people who may abandon you at any moment, kill a person who is loyal to you. Isn't that really good?

Therefore, Liu Xun found an opportunity to visit Zhang Ren in prison, and said euphemistically, "In this matter, my father and son are sorry for the general, and if the general is sorry for us, the general will go out of the city and go to Liu Zhijun." ”

Zhang Ren sat in prison, still closing his eyes and not saying a word.

Liu Xun could only sigh in the end, toast Zhang Ren with a glass of wine, and then left the prison.

However, before leaving, Liu Xun still told the jailer that he should treat Zhang Ren well and not be wronged, which can be regarded as his last care for Zhang Ren on behalf of Liu Zhang's family.

After returning to his mansion, Liu Xun has been closed since then, and he has been confined by himself, and Liu Zhang of the province is troublesome to deal with.

And Liu Zhang waited, waited, waited for almost a month, and didn't see any signs of Liu Bei's siege.

Could it be that this Liu Bei feels that he has too much grain and grass, so he plans to waste a little first?!

Or does Liu Bei feel that he has more military rations than those in Chengdu, so he plans to fight with himself to consume them?!

Liu Zhang didn't understand, but Liu Zhang really didn't care.

Now he just wants to buy time, and if Liu Bei doesn't attack, then I will continue to defend like this, and wait until Cao Cao's army moves west, and who is crying when I see it.

But Liu Zhang waited for this month, and did not wait for the news of Cao Cao's westward march into Hanzhong, but received the news that Xiang Cun's troops were defeated and captured.

Fu Ban Xiang Cun led 15,000 people to attack Jiameng Pass, from May to the present, almost half a year, stunned did not take Jiameng Pass, which was only defended by 1,000 people.

After attacking for half a year, the weather is slowly entering winter, and Fu Ban and Xiang Cun are also a little slack, preparing to spend the winter with cats, and then continue to attack after the winter.

Then they were personally led by Huo Jun and attacked out of the customs.

Supporting the ban, Xiang Cun and the others really didn't expect that Huo Jun only had a few hundred people, and he actually dared to sneak attack an army of more than 10,000 people, so they were defenseless at all, and they were easily scattered by the hundreds of people led by Huo Jun, and had to retreat twenty miles one after another.

But when Huo Jun led the army back to the pass, helped Xiang Cun to gather his men and horses again, and was about to set up camp again, the army led by Meng Da suddenly came out from behind, and the two people killed were caught off guard.

At the same time, Huo Jun in Jiameng Pass saw that the two of them were impacted, and immediately regardless of fatigue, he led the troops out of the pass for the second time, and attacked the soldiers of the two before and after. The results are obvious.

Fu Ban Xiang Cun couldn't contain the army at all, and was attacked from front to back, and the army was defeated and captured.

And Meng Da also led 3,000 soldiers to garrison Jiameng Pass to help Huo Jun defend against the possible arrival of Zhang Lu or Xiahou Yuan's army.

When Liu Zhang saw this battle report, his heart suddenly cooled.

The life and death of the two people who supported Xiang Cun was actually not important, the real content of this battle report was that Liu Bei had long thought that Liu Zhang might contact Zhang Lu, and sent reinforcements to Jiameng Pass early.

Now that the attacking troops supporting Xiang Cun have been dispersed, and he has been captured by Liu Beijun, there is no possibility of attacking Jiameng Pass with external forces inside and outside.

Once Liu Bei can defend Jiameng Pass, or break through Chengdu before Jiameng Pass is breached, then all Liu Zhang's calculations will be in vain.

If this is the case, then Liu Zhang might as well surrender to Liu Bei, after all, Liu Xun once said that Liu Bei swore in public that he would treat Liu Zhang's family well.

Zhang Ren could not believe Liu Bei's oath, but Liu Zhang did.

When it comes to Liu Bei's status, once he swears in public, the weight of this oath will not be light, and once he does not abide by it, the consequences will be very serious.

This kind of thing swearing in public was still very credible before the Gao Pingling Incident.

And then again. Liu Beijun began to attack the city.
