People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 304
The big account of the Chinese army!

Li Yao looked at the crowd, Beigong Boyu, Beigongli, Pang Rou, Pang De, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hu Zhen, Li Rongcheng, all were high-ranking generals who could be trusted. Without Liu Yu, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, they were not needed for this meeting.

When the personnel arrived, Li Yao also said directly:

"Liu Yu's persuasion to surrender did not go well. We have all reached Chengdu, and Liu Yan still wants to leave the field with dignity, otherwise he will resist to the end..."

Beigong Boyu grinned, folded his arms, and said loudly:
"This is not right. I didn't expect them to be able to open the city and surrender. I just sent troops to attack. My old man personally supervised the battle!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone agreed unanimously. A group of warriors and brave generals, full of vigor and rebellion, how could they tolerate Liu Yan who was beaten away by them to leave the stage in a decent manner.

Li Yao nodded, he didn't want to agree to Liu Yan, especially now that he had an absolute advantage, so he said:
"Liu Yan doesn't want to surrender easily, but the aristocratic family in Shu County doesn't want to follow him to death. I just received news that someone is willing to open the city gate and welcome our army into the city!"

Hearing this news, everyone began to think, mainly surprised, but also a little skeptical, so Bei Gongli raised it:

"Are you sure? Whether this news is true or not, of course it's good to be true. If it's false, it's a trap!"

Li Yao looked at everyone, everyone had this suspicion, and Li Yao immediately expressed his understanding:

"I don't rule out the possibility of falsehood, but this matter is very likely to be true. Liu Yan reused the Dongzhou faction and Dongzhou soldiers who entered Shu with him. The people who are willing to open the city gate this time are representatives of the local aristocratic families in Shu County. The Zhang brothers, Zhang Su and Zhang Song, neither reuse them nor want to take them to death. It is not surprising that the representatives of the local aristocratic families in Shu County want to resist..."

"And so what if we try. Now that the army has reached Chengdu, if they dare to lie to us, then when we enter Chengdu, we will directly slaughter the entire Zhang family!"

After Li Yao finished speaking, everyone suddenly realized that it was right, now that their army is besieging the city, if they dared to lie to them, they directly slaughtered the entire Zhang clan.

Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and the two looked at each other. Even if someone in the city is willing to open the gate, they still have to fight:
"General, when is the time, which city gate is the place, and among us, who will lead the army?"

Hu Zhen also said at this time:

"General, I am willing to lead the army to fight!"

Seeing everyone's statement, Li Yao also became serious, and said:
"The time is just two days later, the location is west of Chengdu, Xuanming Gate, Zhang Yilou, I will select the elite dead soldiers, and go to capture the city gate..."

"At this time, all the generals will lead the troops to fight, and seize the city wall, barracks, arsenal, and granary respectively... Take the most complete Chengdu as quickly as possible..."

"During these two days, let's not startle the enemy, build siege equipment openly, secretly recruit the elite of the army, don't tell Liu Yu anything, let us, the Taiwei, go chat with Liu Yan every day!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone also laughed, and immediately discussed and dragged each other to determine the scope of responsibility, so as to avoid destroying Chengdu.

……

Two days passed by in a hurry. During these two days, Li Yao received many letters, all of which were sent from the city, some were flattering, some were flattering... After all, they just wanted to ask for mercy, and hoped that Li Yao would forgive him.

Of course, in these letters, they did not explicitly say that they wanted to open the city gates for Li Yao, like Zhang Su and Zhang Song, but to a certain extent, they also represented the aspirations of the people.

At this time, people in the city must have panicked and wanted to prepare a way out for themselves.

Li Yao did not agree to Liu Yan's conditions, nor did he tell Liu Yu the truth. Although the two met every day, there was still no result in persuading Liu Yan to surrender.

On this day, after nightfall!
To the west of Chengdu, Xuanmingmen, Zhangyilou!

Shu general Zhang Ren patrolled back and forth, his face was calm, but his heart was not calm at all.

He is a native of Shu. Although he was born in poverty, he has little courage and good conduct, so he was conscripted to work in the county. Over the years, he has been serious and conscientious in his work, and he has been able to win the trust of the county.

Zhang Ren is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but Liu Yan and Zhang Zhang have no kindness to him at this time, and they are looting, arresting strong men, and robbing food. Shu people hate it, and Zhang Ren is also disliked.

But he didn't intend to betray. Although he was not loyal to Liu Yan and his son, he was loyal to his duty until Zhang Song came to him.

Zhang Song's appearance is not good, but he was born in the Zhang family in Chengdu, and his talent is first-class.

As clan members of the Han family, Liu Yan and his son had no kindness to the Shu people, they only knew how to plunder, but did not know mercy. Now the Taiwei Liu Yu led the troops to crusade, and they were unstoppable, and the hearts of the people were against each other.

For the sake of all innocent people, the sooner this war ends, the better.

This made Zhang Ren determined that he was not for himself, but for all the people.

Tonight is the last day he will be guarded at Xuanming Gate and Zhang Yilou, and the guards will be changed after that.

So it's make or break.

In fact, Chengdu is divided into a small city and a big city. It is not a square, but a special design based on the fact that the Chengdu Plain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast after Zhang Yi surveyed the terrain in the Qin Dynasty.

Xuanming Gate and Zhangyi Building are in Shaocheng. Because Liu Yan is in Dacheng, Shaocheng is not very guarded, but as long as you enter Shaocheng, Dacheng is safe to defend.

At this time, Zhang Ren first looked at the sky, the night was dark, and everything was silent, then he looked at the white scarf on his arm, and then said to the left and right:
"Open the city gate, don't make noise, anyone who makes noise will be killed on the spot!"

The people on the left and right, also had a white scarf tied on their arms. Hearing this, they did not make a fuss, bowed their hands and bowed, and then went down to deliver orders.

Slightly!Slightly!Slightly!
squeak!squeak!squeak!
On a quiet night, the sound of the city gate opening can be said to be particularly ear-piercing.

But there were so many people in the city and under the city, and none of them yelled and made a lot of noise, which shows that Zhang Ren's prestige is high.

But after a while, there was a very subtle but dense sound of footsteps, coming from far and near.

The cavalry appeared first, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian, as generals from Bingzhou, skilled in bow and horse, led [-] cavalry to kill them.

Then came the infantry, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le. As generals from the rebel army, Li Yao promised them that as long as they successfully captured Chengdu, they could be promoted to lieutenant colonel at least, so they all fought bravely to be the first.

They entered the city one after another, and then directly occupied the city gate and a section of the nearby city wall.
