Duan Dahu thoroughly implemented the problems encountered, and the big guys came up with ideas and policies, and gathered the big guys together to discuss the issue of entering Xichuan.

Duan Dahu said a word and everyone started to talk about it, some advocated forcible taking, and some advocated adopting a policy of surrender to send envoys to Chengdu to surrender.

Duan Dahu compromised and considered, as long as the city gate of Chengdu was opened, he would have a chance to take Chengdu, but Liu Zhang's turtle had been in the city for almost a year, and it was originally calculated that Duan Dahu would come from afar, and the grain and grass would inevitably not be able to help, and he would inevitably retreat after a long time.

Duan Dahu was hesitating, only listening to Ma Chao under the account, and walked out and said: "Lord, no matter how much grain and grass is hoarded in Chengdu, it is bound to be limited, this year will pass, and the life in the city must not be easy, I have a plan to dedicate to the lord, and discipline this Chengdu has become our bag." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Duan Dahu said, at this moment, Duan Dahu already had an idea in his heart, and smiled at Ma Chao: "Look at how the two of us think differently." ”

"Yes. Ma Chao saluted Duan Dahu, walked up the steps, and talked to everyone: "According to the information provided by the soldiers who escaped from Chengdu, the soldiers defending the city in the city are mainly Zhang Ren's personal companions. ”

"Our account contains a lot of soldiers who escaped from Chengdu City, let's borrow their mouths to tell Liu Zhang, Zhang Ren only said that Zhang Lu came to attack Jia Mengguan, we have to withdraw the army, knowing that we are suffering from the enemy, Liu Zhang will not miss this opportunity, as long as Zhang Ren's soldiers go out of Chengdu City, we will let him have no return. Ma Chao said.

When everyone heard Ma Chao's plan, they couldn't help but nod their heads and praise, Duan Dahu asked Zhuge Liang with a smile: "Military advisor, General Ma Chao's plan is similar to what I thought, do you think General Ma Chao's plan is feasible?"

Zhuge Liang knelt on the futon. He bowed to Duan Dahu and said with a smile: "General Ma Chao's plan is very good, Liang thinks it is feasible." ”

There were more and more strategists under Duan Dahu's account, and Zhuge Liang gradually fell into a free place, and as soon as he was slightly distracted just now, he was reminded by Duan Dahu.

"What do you think?" Duan Dahu couldn't help but ask.

Liu Bei and a group of strategists in Shu all said: "General Ma Chao's plan is feasible. ”

"Since everyone has no opinion, then follow General Ma Chao's plan. Duan Dahu finally decided: "From today onwards, the Simen army will retreat slowly and orderly, making the movement smaller, but not too small, how can Zhang Ren find out that our army is slowly retreating, and let them grasp the scale?" ”

"Yes, my lord. Duan Dahu gave an order, and his subordinates all obeyed, and Duan Dahu was deeply intoxicated.

The battalions of the four gates received Duan Dahu's general order, and did not dare to delay, so the rear camp changed to the front camp and slowly retreated.

Zhang Ren inspected the city gate morning and evening, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he had already noticed that the army of Duan Dahu besieging the city within the four gates was getting smaller and smaller day by day, Zhang Ren couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Duan Dahu has besieged the city for several months, and he has seen the hope of victory, how can he suddenly withdraw his troops if there is no accident?"

Personally took his cronies out of the city, and captured a soldier for careful interrogation, only a very small number of Duan Dahu's soldiers were brought from Jingzhou, and most of them were from Xichuan.

The soldier was already trembling with fear, and Zhang Ren tried his best to calm down his tone and said, "Duan Dahu is withdrawing his troops now, what is this for?"

"Small...... The little one is just a pawn, how can I know about such a confidential matter?" the soldier trembled with fear.

Zhang Ren was furious, pulled out the sword in his hand, and stabbed out several swords in a row, each sword was attached to the vital part of the soldier, so frightened that the soldier couldn't help but collapse to the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.

"If you don't speak, you won't be so lucky next time. Zhang Ren said angrily.

"Say, I said that the day before yesterday, Jia Meng Pass sent an urgent report, saying that Zhang Lu of Hanning sent Yang Song to lead 100,000 troops to knock on Jia Meng Pass, which frightened Duan Dahu, and ordered his soldiers to withdraw overnight, and whether they could be discovered by the general, so as not to encounter the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy. The soldier trembled and finished speaking.

Zhang Ren nodded and said secretly in his heart: "So that's the case." Then he said to the left and right: "Kill him and behead him for public display." ”

The two samurai beside him rushed out, grabbed the soldier, and dragged him to the side.

"General...... Checkmate...... You promised me not to kill me. ”

Zhang Ren turned a deaf ear and thought in his heart: "This matter is not trivial, and it must be reported to the lord." With that, he went straight to Liu Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Ren sat on the chair, listened to Zhang Ren's words, couldn't help but tremble, and said, "Is this news reliable?"

Zhang Ren nodded and said: "It was my Shu soldiers who said it, and there will be no falsehood." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, this is a good time for us to avoid a counterattack. Liu Zhang couldn't help but slap the table excitedly.

"I mean, leave some of your soldiers and horses for your lord in case something happens. Zhang Ren couldn't help but say with some hesitation.

"No, we don't have many soldiers to call on in the first place, and the food for nearly a year has been given to them, and it's time for them to be loyal. Let them all go out, if they can turn defeat into victory this time and completely drive Duan Dahu out of Xichuan, I will be rewarded. "Since the fight against Duan Dahu, Liu Zhang has been in a situation of being passively beaten, and he finally seized the opportunity at this moment, how can he not cherish it.

Zhang Ren knew Liu Zhang's novelty, in Zhang Ren's heart, how could it not be so, he was in Shuzhong, and protected himself from the people, but he was caught by Duan Dahu almost without much effort, and then put it back, Zhang Ren's heart was so high, this was a great insult to him.

After listening to Liu Zhang's words, he knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, please rest assured, this time, I will definitely bring Duan Dahu's head to see the lord." ”

Liu Zhang helped Zhang Ren up and said, "Whether I can keep the foundation of Xichuan depends on the general." As he spoke, he held Zhang Ren's hands tightly.

The two gentlemen and ministers, everything is silent at this moment, Zhang Ren is very grateful for Liu Zhang's trust.

As far as the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city poured out of the city, the camp of Duan Dahu under the city was already empty, Zhang Ren finished the investigation, and ordered his subordinates to set the camp on fire and burn it.
