Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 214
"Father, there are no generals in Chengdu right now, and my son is willing to lead the army to defend against the enemy!" Seeing Liu Zhang standing there without saying a word, Liu Xun hurriedly asked Ying.

"My lord, the military situation is urgent. You can send someone to call General Zhang back to defend against the enemy!" Huang Quan and Wang Lei remonstrated, and the rest of the people had different opinions. Some said to surrender, some said to resist, and only Liu Zhang himself said. Not sent.It wasn't until everyone discussed in disorder for a long time, and found that their own Duke Shu didn't say a word, that they felt something was wrong, and couldn't help but shut their mouths and looked at Liu Zhang who was sitting there.

Liu Zhang had a strange expression, his brows were a little wrinkled, as if he was thinking about something.After a long time, Liu Zhang asked, "Gongheng, now only Guanghan and Shujun are still in my hands. Even if the righteous return army helps me defend Chengdu, what are the chances of winning?"

"My lord, don't worry, the general situation in the world today is nothing more than the confrontation between the North and the South. Liu Xuande's lifelong enemy is Cao Mengde! It is expected that the two will soon start a decisive battle. We only need to stick to Chengdu until next year, and Liu Bei will definitely retreat. !” Huang Quan said confidently.

"What if Liu Bei doesn't go to war with Cao Cao next year?" Liu Zhang actually smiled when he said this, despite Huang Quan's astonished expression, Liu Zhang sighed again, as if he had used all his strength to sigh After letting out this breath, he then said: "My father and son have been in Sichuan for 20 years, and they have not done any kindness to the people. Zhang Lu rebelled first, and now he raised his troops again, causing the people to suffer from the war. How can I, Liu Zhang, bear it? How about letting Chengdu suffer the flames of war? I have made up my mind, let the city surrender! You all have the talents of Wang Zuo, and if you serve Xuande in the future, you will surely live up to what you have learned in your life!"

"Master?" Huang Quanwan didn't expect Liu Zhang to decide to surrender so quickly, and he didn't even have time to react for a while.When Wang Lei heard the words, he knelt down and cried and begged: "My lord, you can't do it. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the city. How can you surrender easily! Wang Lei is not talented, and he is willing to lead the army to defend Chengdu to the fullest!"

"Gongheng, Ziwen, I know your loyalty. But I, Liu Zhang, am not a hero. Both of you are outstanding people in the world. Let's go to another place and fulfill your ambitions!" Liu Zhang stepped forward to help the two of them. Feeling full of authenticity.Huang Quan and Wang Lei looked at each other, and finally sighed.

"Father!" Liu Xun became anxious when he saw that Liu Zhang was determined to surrender.Liu Zhang waved his hand to signal his son not to say anything more, and ordered people to take out the seal and album, and surrendered to Lu Xun in Kaesong.Liu Xun hesitated for a while, and finally let out a long sigh, and followed Liu Zhang out slowly.

"Liu Zhang took 30 common people in central Shu, 12 officials, and [-] soldiers to surrender to the Duke of Qi!" Liu Zhang knelt down and surrendered to Lu Xun with Qiao Zhou and others holding the album in their hands.Lu Xun didn't expect that Liu Zhang would surrender so soon, so he quickly got off his horse and helped Liu Zhang to comfort him, saying, "Duke Shu has done a lot of good deeds for saving the people from the military revolution! You have a lowly official position, please wait for my general to come here for a while, Duke Shu. Let’s do the song again. It’s just my general who is now fighting against General Zhang Ren in Luocheng, and I ask the Duke of Shu to deal with him on his behalf.”

"This matter should be done!" Liu Zhang is not a fool, he knew what Lu Xun meant, so he wrote a letter himself and asked Liu Xun to send it to Luocheng to tell Zhang Ren.At present, Lu Xun took over the city defense of Chengdu, and sent someone to notify Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and others to prepare them to accept Zhang Ren's surrender.

"What?" In Luocheng, Zhang Ren was also taken aback when he saw Liu Xun suddenly appearing in front of him.Yan Yan was defeated and captured, Brazil and Chengdu fell, and his [-] Sichuan army was completely alone in Guanghan County.

"That is to say, the lord has decided to surrender and stop fighting?" Zhang Yi, the lieutenant next to Zhang Ren, asked weakly, his eyes full of bewilderment.I was still fighting here, but I didn't expect the boss to surrender. It's hard for anyone to accept this kind of thing.

"We still have the strength to fight, so why not surrender!" Zhang Ren suddenly cried, and all the generals burst into tears when they heard the words.Liu Xun was also crying, but he still said: "my father said that the general has never lost to him, and he feels deeply in his heart. Now that the defeat is settled, it will not help the general to fight again. Therefore, the general also asks the general to look at the people in Xichuan. For the sake of soldiers and soldiers, don't fight any more!"

Zhang Ren was stunned for a while when he heard the words, and then looked at the generals under his command, some of them looked determined, but most of them were at a loss.Zhang Ren knew that his army's morale had been broken, and it would be meaningless to fight any more, so he said abruptly, "Since that's the case, I'll surrender to Zhang Fei!"

The next day, Zhang Ren sent envoys to surrender to Zhang Fei.Zhang Fei has always respected gentlemen and disrespected villains.After fighting against Zhang Ren for so many days, I am also deeply impressed by Zhang Ren's ability to use troops.Now that Zhang Ren has surrendered, Zhang Fei didn't put on any airs. He hurriedly led the generals to meet Zhang Ren, and hosted a banquet in the big tent to entertain everyone in Xichuan.After eating a meal, Zhang Ren finally felt a little relaxed.That afternoon, Zhang Fei sent people to take over the defense of Guanghan County first, and then Pang Yi, the governor of Qianwei County, also surrendered after receiving Liu Zhang's personal letter.Zhang Fei sent people to take over one by one, and Zhuge Liang and Zhao Feng led an army to Chengdu to take over Xichuan, and at the same time told Liu Bei to send people to recover Xichuan as soon as possible.

"Bo Yan, you boy can do it. You won Brazil and Chengdu so quickly. I am so optimistic about you!" It smashed Lu Xun's bones into pieces.Lu Xun smiled modestly with a bitter face, but his eyes looked at Zhao Feng from time to time.Zhao Feng knew in his heart that he was grateful for his trust.Because of Zhao Feng's foresight, he was always able to promote those young heroes who hadn't made a fortune.From the earliest Chen Qun and Wei Yan, to the later Jiang Wan, Hao Zhao, and even the current Lu Xun, Wang Ping and others.The level is uneven, and there are both civil and military positions.Inadvertently, Zhao Feng can be regarded as full of peaches and plums.This was still in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and these military generals were not used to recognizing their disciples. If it was in the Tang Dynasty, they would definitely be full of peaches and plums worthy of the name.

"The three generals have won the prize. If the three generals and General Zhao hadn't restrained Zhang Ren in Luocheng, how could the Xun soldiers come to Chengdu!" Lu Xun hurriedly said humbly, just like his name.

"That being said, flooding Yan Yan is not an easy task. Yan Yan has been through the battlefield for a long time, but he was defeated so badly by Boyan." Zhao Feng said with some emotion.Originally, I thought it would be great if Lu Xun could restrain Yan Yan, but I didn't expect that he could defeat Yan Yan in one fell swoop, which really surprised Zhao Feng.

"It's all based on the general's teaching!" Lu Xun was not just humble this time, he was flattering.Grandma, what have I taught you, the most I can do is help you find a wife.Zhao Feng was slandered in his heart, but being flattered by Lu Xun, this kind of feeling is still very good!

"Three generals, now that Yizhou and Hanzhong have been obtained by the lord, next year's Northern Expedition will have another chance of winning!" Zhuge Liang also said with a smile. Under such a good situation, even he was a little bit carried away.

"Exactly. I never thought that it took us less than two months to pacify Xichuan!" Zhang Fei said with some surprise.After saying this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at Zhao Feng and Lu Xun.If they hadn't smuggled across Yinping Pass alone and traveled all the way south to Chengdu, I'm afraid that I and Zhuge Liang would still be stuck in Luocheng, unable to advance an inch.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei 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, if the matter here is settled one day earlier, it will be one more day to prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future.

The pigeons crossed the mountains and soon arrived in Shouchun. Liu Bei was also surprised to learn that Xichuan had been pacified so quickly.I even read the handwriting carefully, fearing that it was someone else impersonating Zhang Fei.It wasn't until Kou Feng arrived a few days later and sent a more detailed military report that Liu Bei was completely convinced, and hurriedly called everyone to discuss the matter.

"General Zhao actually walked the plank road at Yinping Pass?" Gan Ning couldn't help exclaiming after listening to Kou Feng's introduction of the marching process.Liu Bei hurriedly asked about the clues, Gan Ning was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "Ning was born in Xichuan. It is said that the plank road at Yinping Pass has been in disrepair for a long time, and there has been no army on it for at least 50 years. Unexpectedly, General Zhao would march from here!" After Ning finished speaking, he nodded again and again, full of praise.

"No wonder Bo Tao called Wudang Feijun and Shanyue Army earlier, so that's what he did!" Liu Bei also reacted at this time.Although I didn't transfer Wudang Feijun to him, it seems that Danyang's elite soldiers are also qualified for such a job.

"Now that Xichuan has been won, Liu Jiyu and his son have returned, the lord needs to make a decision as soon as possible!" At this time, Jian Yong reminded quickly.Liu Bei nodded, and immediately issued an order to invite Liu Zhang to Jingnan, remove his title of Duke of Shu, and confer the title of Marquis of Gong'an County, and the city of food will be in Gong'an.As for the rest of Xichuan's civil and military surrenders, some of them stayed in Xichuan to listen to them, and some men such as Meng Da and Fazheng were transferred to Jingyang or Shouchun to listen to them.

"My lord, the land of Xichuan connects Guanzhong and Hanzhong. It is very important during the Northern Expedition, and a general needs to be sent to guard it!" At this time, Lu Su saw that after Liu Bei dealt with the captives, he was noncommittal about the manpower staying in Xichuan, and quickly reminded.

"Bo Tao is in Xichuan. He used to be the prefect of Hanzhong. Now, wouldn't it be logical for him to be the shepherd of Yizhou?" Liu Bei said naturally.Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Liu Bei never meant to let Zhao Feng guard Xichuan, why did he suddenly get mad and propose to let Zhao Feng take charge of that side?
Xichuan + Hanzhong, that is, the entire Yizhou, although it has experienced wars, compared with the ten rooms and nine empty spaces in the Central Plains, it still has a population of no less than 200 million and a registered permanent residence of nearly 50.Such a large state is almost as large as Jingzhou, and slightly larger than Yangzhou.Of course, what they don't know is that in history, Shuhan was such a big country.Lunguo is a small country, but as a state, Yizhou is definitely big enough.

"My lord, the land of Xichuan is very important, and we need to send reliable generals to guard it!" Seeing that Liu Bei had made a decision so quickly, Pang Tong also remonstrated with his own words.At the same time, Xuzhou faction figures such as Lu Su, Chen Qun, and Bu Zhi strongly agreed with Liu Bei's decision. It would definitely be of great benefit to them to have someone from their faction take up an important position.

"Except for Xianhe, Bo Tao's seniority is older than all of you. I'm absolutely relieved to let him sit in Xichuan!" Liu Bei waved his hand, as if making such a decision was normal. Pang Tong looked at the indifferent Liu Bei in front of him. , I already understood in my heart that Liu Bei probably had such a plan before attacking Xichuan.I tried my best, but in the end I still didn't get this position.

"My lord, General Zhao is a military commander. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take charge of Xichuan alone!" At this time, Pang Tong could only find other reasons to work hard for his own interests.Liu Bei didn't object, but nodded and said: "Kong Ming is proficient in government affairs strategy, and he has made great contributions in Sichuan this time. I now entitle him as Yiyang Tinghou, lead the conscript general, prefect of Shu County, and help Bo Tao guard Xichuan together! "

"My lord is wise!" Pang Tong was a little relieved when he heard Liu Bei said that he wanted to keep Zhuge Liang in Xichuan, after all, there were still people on his side there.The Xuzhou faction did not object. After all, Zhuge Liang was also from Xuzhou, and his cousin Zhuge Dan was still in Xuzhou.With this level of relationship, Zhao Feng can "instigate rebellion" against Zhuge Liang.As for Liu Bei, having this civil and military presence in Xichuan is enough to make Cao Cao restless day and night, and everyone is happy.At this time, Liu Beiren's art can be regarded as reflected.

By the time the news of the fall of Chengdu on the mountainous road in Xichuan was passed all the way to Hebei, it was already autumn, and Cao Cao was stunned when he heard the words.
