Chapter 116 Take all Xichuan

"Father, there is no general in Chengdu at present, and the child is willing to lead the army to resist the enemy!" Seeing that Liu Zhang was stunned and didn't say a word, Liu Xun hurriedly asked.

"Lord, the military situation is urgent. You can quickly send someone to summon General Zhang back to the army to fight against the enemy!" Huang Quan and Wang Lei admonished, and the rest of the people had different opinions. Some said they surrendered, some said they resisted, but only Liu Zhang himself did not say a word. It was not until everyone discussed it for a long time that they found that their Duke Shu had not said a word, and then they felt something was wrong. They couldn't help looking at Liu Zhang sitting there.

Liu Zhang's expression was strange, his eyebrows were a little frowned, and he seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Liu Zhang asked, "Gongheng, now only Guanghan and Shu County are still in my hands. Even if justice returns to help me defend Chengdu, what are the chances of winning?"

"Don't worry, Lord. Nowadays, there is no greater trend in the world than the confrontation between the north and the south. Liu Xuande's great enemy in his life is Cao Mengde! It is expected that the two will start a decisive battle soon. We only need to stick to Chengdu and stick to it until next year, then Liu Bei will definitely retreat from the army!" Huang Quan is full of confidence.

"What will happen if Liu Bei doesn't go to war with Cao Xi next year?" Liu Zhang actually smiled when he said this. Despite Huang Quan's stunned face, Liu Zhang sighed again, as if he had used all his strength to sigh, and then said, "My father and son have been in the river for 20 years, and there is no kindness to the people. First, Zhang Lu rebelled, but now the army has been re-entered, which makes the people suffer from the war. How can I, Liu Zhang, put up with it and make Chengdu bear the fire of war? I have made up my mind to surrender in the city! All the public have the talent of Wang Zuo. After serving in Xuande, he will live up to what he has learned in his life!"

"Lord?" Huang Quanwan didn't expect that Liu Zhang would decide to surrender so soon, and he didn't even have time to react for a moment. When Wang Lei heard the words, he knelt down and cried, "Your lord, you can't. Now there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. How can you surrender easily?" Wang Lei is not talented. He is willing to lead the army to defend Chengdu to fulfill his duty!"

"Gongheng, Ziwen, I know your loyalty. However, I, Liu Zhang, am not a hero. Both of you are heroes in the world. Let's go somewhere else and show your ambitions!" Liu Zhang stepped forward to help the two of them, with a lot of emotion. Huang Quan and Wang Lei looked at each other and finally sighed.

"Father!" Liu Xun was also anxious when he saw that Liu Zhang was single-willed to surrender. Liu Zhang waved his hand to his son not to say anything more. He directly ordered people to take out the seal and atlas, and surrender to Lu Xun. Liu Xun hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed, and followed Liu Zhang out slowly.

"Liu Zhang, with 300,000 households of people in Shu, 40,000 households of officials, and 120,000 soldiers, surrendered to the Duke of Qi!" Liu Zhang, with Qiao Zhou and others holding the album in his hand, knelt down and surrendered to Lu Xun. Lu Xun did not expect that Liu Zhang would surrender so soon. He quickly got off his horse and helped Liu Zhang and comfort him, "The Duke of Shu saved the military revolution for the people, and his merits are infinite! The inferior official position is humble, and I also asked the Duke of Shu to wait for my general to come here for the time being before making a song. It's just that my general is now fighting against General Zhang Ren in Lucheng, and he also asks the Duke of Shu to deal with him.

"It should be!" Liu Zhang was not a fool. Knowing what Lu Xun meant, he quickly wrote a letter to Liu Xun to tell Zhang Ren in Lucheng. At present, Lu Xun took over the city defense in Chengdu and sent people to inform Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang and others that they were ready to accept Zhang Ren's surrender.

"What?" In the middle of the city, Zhang Ren was also shocked to see Liu Xun, who suddenly appeared in front of him. Yan Yan was defeated and captured, and Brazil and Chengdu were lost. His 50,000 Sichuan troops were guarding Guanghan County, and he was already completely alone.

"That is to say, the lord's decision is to surrender and not to fight?" Zhang Yi, the deputy general next to Zhang Ren, asked weakly, and his eyes were full of confusion. I was still struggling here, but I didn't expect the boss to surrender. It would be difficult for anyone to accept this kind of thing.

"We still have the power to fight, but we can't surrender!" Zhang Ren suddenly cried, and all the generals burst into tears when they heard the words. Liu Xun also cried, but he still said, "My father said that the general has never failed him. He is deeply impressed. Now that the defeat has been decided, it is useless for the general to fight again. Therefore, please don't fight anymore for the sake of the people and soldiers of Xichuan!"

Zhang Ren was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, and then looked at the generals under his command. Some of them were determined, but more of them were at a loss. Zhang Ren knew that his military spirit had collapsed, and it was meaningless to fight again. At the moment, he said astringently, "If that's the case, I'll surrender to Zhang Fei later!"

Next, Zhang Ren sent an envoy to surrender to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei has always respected a gentleman and a villain. After competing with Zhang Ren for so many days, he was also deeply admired by Zhang Ren's ability to use soldiers. Now that Zhang Ren has surrendered, Zhang Fei did not put on airs. He quickly led the generals to welcome Zhang Ren, and personally held a banquet in the big tent to entertain the people of Xichuan. After a meal, Zhang Ren finally relaxed a little. In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Fei sent someone to take over the defense of Guanghan County first, and then Pang Yi, the county guard, surrendered after receiving a handwritten letter from Liu Zhang. Zhang Fei sent people to take over one by one. Since Zhuge Liang and Zhao Feng led a large army to Chengdu to take over Xichuan, he also told Liu Bei to send someone to recover Xichuan as soon as possible.

"Bow, you can do it. It's not in vain for me to take Brazil and Chengdu so soon!" It was Zhang Fei who was greedy for his own merit. This person was pating Lu Xun on the shoulder hard and almost patted Lu Xun's bones. Lu Xun smiled bitterly and modestly, but his eyes aimed at Zhao Feng from time to time. Zhao Feng knew in his heart that he was grateful for his trust. Because of the prophet's foresight, Zhao Feng was always able to promote those young heroes who did not make a fortune. From the earliest Chen Qun and Wei Yan, to the later Jiang Wan, Hao Zhao, and even now Lu Xun and Wang Pingren. The level is uneven, and there are both official positions, literature and martial arts. Inadvertently, Zhao Feng can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world. This is still in the Eastern Han Dynasty. These generals are not used to recognizing disciples or something. If it were in the Tang Dynasty, it would definitely be a veritable peach and plum all over the world.

"The three generals are flattered. If the three generals and General Zhao hadn't held Zhang Ren in Lucheng, how could they let the inferior soldiers come to Chengdu!" Lu Xun quickly said modestly, just like his name.

"That said, it's not easy to flood the face. Yan Yan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and unexpectedly lost so badly in the hands of Bo Yan. Zhao Feng sighed with emotion. Originally, I thought it was very good for Lu Xun to contain Yan, but I didn't expect that he could defeat Yan Yan in one fell swoop, which really surprised Zhao Feng.

"It's all up to the teachings of the general!" Lu Xun is not only humble this time, but also flattering. Damn it, what did I teach you? At most, I just helped you find a wife. Zhao Feng was slandered in his heart, but it was still very good to be flattered by Lu Xun!

"Three generals, now Yizhou and Hanzhong have been exhausted by the main government. In the next year's Northern Expedition, there will be another chance of winning!" Zhuge Liang also laughed and said that in such a good situation, even he was a little complacent.

"Exceptly, I didn't expect that it took us less than two months to calm down Xichuan!" Zhang Fei is also quite unexpected. After saying this, Zhang Fei couldn't help looking at Zhao Feng and Lu Xun. If it hadn't been for the smuggling of Yinping Pass and going all the way south to Chengdu, I'm afraid that they and Zhuge Liang would still be stuck in Lucheng and can't make an inch.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei also hurriedly sent a letter to Liu Bei, asking him to arrange the matter of Xichuan as soon as possible and how to deal with Liu Zhang. After all, it is decided to come here one day earlier, which is to prepare for one more day for the Northern Expedition.

The carrier pigeons crossed the mountains and soon reached Shouchun. Liu Bei was also surprised to learn that Xichuan had been quickly pacified. I even carefully identified the handwriting, I'm afraid that someone else pretended to be Zhang Fei. It was not until Kou Feng arrived and sent a more detailed military report that Liu Bei believed it and hurriedly summoned everyone to discuss the matter.

"General Zhao actually walked the Yinping Pass Plank Road?" After listening to Kou Feng's introduction of the marching process, Gan Ning couldn't help exclaiming. Liu Bei hurriedly asked Duan Ni. Gan Ning was stunned and sighed for a long time: "Ning was born in Xichuan. It is said that the Yinping Pass has been in disrepair for a long time. There has been no army for at least 50 years. Unexpectedly, General Zhao will march from here!" After saying that, Gan Ning still nodded repeatedly and admired it.

"No wonder Bo Tao called the Wudang Flying Army and the Shanyue Army before. That's what he did!" Liu Bei also reacted at this time. Although he did not transfer the Wudang Flying Army to him, it seems that Danyang elite soldiers are also qualified for such a job.

"Now that Xichuan has been obtained, Liu Jiyu and his son have surrendered, and the lord needs to make a decision as soon as possible!" At this time, Jian Yong hurriedly reminded. Liu Bei nodded, and then ordered Liu Zhang to be invited to Jingnan, remove the title of Shu Gong, and be awarded the title of Marquis of Public Security County, and Shiyi was in Public Security. As for the rest of the civil and military ministers in Xichuan, some of them remained in Xichuan for use, and some of the people of Meng Da and Fa Zheng were transferred to Jing Yang or Shouchun for use.

"Lord, the land of Xichuan connects Guanzhong and Hanzhong. It is very urgent during the Northern Expedition, and it is necessary to send a general to guard it!" At this time, Lu Su saw that after Liu Bei had finished dealing with the prisoners, he did not say anything to the manpower left in Xichuan, and quickly reminded him.

"Isn't it logical for Bo Tao to be in Xichuan. He used to be the governor of Hanzhong, but now he is allowed to be the pastor of Yizhou?" Liu Bei took it for granted. Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Liu Bei had never let Zhao Feng guard Xichuan. Why did he suddenly get angry and ask Zhao Feng to take charge of the other side?

Xichuan + Hanzhong, that is, the whole of Yizhou, although it has experienced war, compared with the ten rooms and nine empty rooms in the Central Plains, there are still a population of no less than 2 million, with a household registration of nearly 500,000. Such a large state is almost the same size as Jingzhou, slightly larger than Yangzhou. Of course, what they don't know is that Shu Han is such a big country in history. The country is a small country, but as a state, Yizhou is absolutely big enough.

"Lord, the land of Xichuan is very important, and we need to send reliable generals to guard it!" When Pang Tong saw that Liu Bei made a meeting so quickly, he also said something. At the same time, Lu Su, Chen Qun, Bu Yu and other Xuzhou faction figures strongly agree with Liu Bei's decision. It is absolutely beneficial for them that someone from their faction can hold important positions.

"Except for Xianhe, Bo Tao is older than all of you. Let him sit in Xichuan. I'm absolutely relieved!" Liu Bei waved his hand and seemed to make such a decision. Pang Tong looked at Liu Bei with an indifferent face in front of him and understood that Liu Bei had already had such a plan before he attacked Xichuan. I tried my best to get this position in the end.

"Your lord, General Zhao is a general. He is alone in Xichuan. I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of it!" At this time, Pang Tong could only find other reasons to seek benefits for his own people. Liu Bei did not object, but nodded and said, "Kong Ming is proficient in government affairs and strategy. This time, he has made contributions to Sichuan. I now make him the Marquis of Yiyang Pavilion, the general of the captives, the governor of Shu County, and help Bo Tao guard Xichuan together!"

"The Lord is wise!" Pang Tong was also a little relieved when he heard Liu Bei say that he wanted to leave Zhuge Liang in Xichuan. After all, there were still people on his side there. The Xuzhou faction did not object. After all, Zhuge Liang is also from Xuzhou, and his cousin Zhuge Dan is still in Xuzhou. With this relationship, Zhao Feng can "reaction" Zhuge Liang. And Liu Bei, with this article and a martial force in Xichuan, is enough to make Cao say that there is no peace at night, which can be said to be very happy. Liu's spare man's art is also reflected at this time.

Xichuan is many mountain roads. When the news of the fall of Chengdu was transmitted all the way to Hebei, it was already the autumn season. Cao Yan was stunned when he heard the words.
