Luo County was lost, the main general Zhang Ren was captured, and surrendered to the same rank. Liu Xun and Liu Gui died in battle. Half of the more than 30,000 people Zhang Ren brought from Chengdu surrendered. ([] )

After Huang Zhong and his party entered the city, a fierce soldier pushed Zhang Ren, who had tied his hands down, to him. Huang Zhong had heard of Zhang Ren for a long time, and knew that he and Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu were from the same school, and were both disciples of martial arts master Tong Yuan. His martial arts skills were naturally not weak. In addition, Zhang Ren's dignified appearance made Huang Zhong want to attract him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren was not like Yan Yan. He was determined to die. As a Bashu man, he couldn't bear to watch his hometown being trampled by the enemy's iron hooves, so he was so happy. Huang Zhong and others persuaded him several times but could not shake his intentions. In desperation, Huang Zhong ordered people to take good care of Zhang Ren. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ren broke free from the ropes several times and wanted to escape from the city, but he was caught by Huang Zhong's personal guards, and several personal guards were injured during the process.

Huang Zhong was angry and knew that Zhang Ren would not surrender, so he ordered him to be beheaded. When the army surrounded Chengdu City, it was presented to Liu Zhang. Zhang Ren, a hero of a generation, lost his life in this way. If he knew what Liu Zhang did in the future, he would regret that he should surrender to Jiangdong as soon as possible.

After Luo County was brought down, the road to Chengdu was no longer hindered. Huang Zhong only let the army rest for half a day, then gathered here and fought toward Chengdu in a mighty manner.

Chengdu is the country of Tianfu. "In one year, it is a gathering place, two years, and three years, it is a major town in the southwest. Since ancient times, the capital of the ninth generation of the enlightened dynasty of Shu Kingdom moved from Fanxiang, Guangdu, it has been the center of the Bashu area.

Qin Tomba State, after Shu State, Emperor Wu of Han established the thirteen states throughout the country. He established the Yizhou State in Chengdu, and was in charge of the four counties of Ba, Shu, Guanghan and Jian. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chengdu replaced the Central Plains and was called "Tianfu". It has a wealth of real estate and a large population. Compared with the war-torn Central Plains, it can be regarded as a paradise.

The advantage of a happy land is that the people live and work in peace and stability, and the country is stable and safe. The disadvantage is that the prevalence of conservative trends are prevalent. Do not seek progress, but seek to protect yourself.

Therefore, the land of Bashu has been lax in defense over the years. The people are flamboyant and have not experienced war for a long time. Many of the equipment in the arsenal have become corrupt. When the Jiangdong Army drove straight in, how could the army that was pieced together in a hurry be its opponent?

Luo County was lost, and the ones that permeated Chengdu were not only panic, but also panic. No matter how the military and civilians were shocked, they were worried about how to protect themselves. Especially the senior officials, everyone was thinking about the way out.

Liu Zhang sat alone in the palace with a wry smile on his face.

From the fall of Luo County to the siege of Chengdu, within three days, his hair had quietly turned white and his people had lost weight. At this moment, there were still 30,000 soldiers in Chengdu, and the food was enough for the whole city to eat for more than a year. However, he had no effective way to tie his subordinates into one rope and fight the attack of the Jiangdong Army with all his strength.

When the disaster comes, the loyalty of the subordinates can be learned one by one. However, there are too few loyal people like Wang Lei and Huang Quan! Especially the generals in the army, who are patrolling the city and preparing weapons, etc., are doing things to defend Chengdu. It is estimated that many people have secretly contacted the Jiangdong Army and surrendered.

It was getting late. Liu Zhang's thoughts had not yet been taken back. His father Liu Yan's words at his death still echoed in his ears: "We have received the kindness of the Han people in the world, and we should think of repaying them. However, the Han Dynasty has been exhausted. I see Yizhou rich and remote, and can live in peace. However, Master Dong, the minister, secretly said that Yizhou has hidden the spirit of the emperor, and I am sorry that I cannot get it... The people of Yizhou live in a way that avoids war and chaos. However, Yizhou is rich and tigers and wolves look around, and there will be wars over time... Remember, protecting Yizhou to avoid the disaster is your priority..."

A clever maid came into the house and lit two oil lamps. Liu Zhang seemed to have not seen each other. Until someone came into the house again to urge him to have a meal, Liu Zhang made a decision. This decision took too much energy, so that he had no appetite. He raised his heavy eyelids and went to bed directly.

On the second day, before the Jiangdong Army launched an attack, Liu Zhang summoned many subordinates. After a while of silence, Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "My father and son have been in the state for more than 20 years, and have no kindness to the people. The people are displaced and have been covered by the wild grass. How can you be at ease? Only now should stop the war and submit to the court. My wealth will be taken care of!"

Liu Zhang's words were sincere and sincere. When many subordinates heard this, they all burst into tears. Zhang Song, Fa Zheng and others were secretly happy, and they also looked regretful on the surface. At this time, Huang Quan and Wang Lei came out, kneeling on the ground, and cried: "Why do you think this is the worst way! Zhou Yu raised an unrighteous army and seized the land of Bashu. Now Chengdu is high and thick, and the soldiers and people are united in one battle. You can fight! And all reinforcements are coming soon, and the enemy will definitely be defeated in this battle! I hope the lord will take back my order! We want to survive and die with the lord!"

When the rest of the people heard the words of the two, they were all moved. They were really important officials! Liu Zhang was very moved, but since he had made a decision, how could he change it easily?

"Mongheng... I have no doubt about your loyalty... However, I have decided, so I don't need to say more!" Liu Zhang helped them up, his tone was very sincere, "I have heard for a long time that the King of Wu is kind and righteous, polite and noble, and his broad mind is comparable to Jianghai. All the people in Jiangdong praise him. Both of them are my heroes of Bashu. They should be able to join the King of Wu, and their future should be much better than being here..."

After saying that, Liu Zhang turned around and said resolutely: "Send the order and open the city gate. I want to give it to Yizhou!"

"Lord" Huang Quan fainted when he heard this, and Wang Lei's eyes suddenly became extremely lonely. He tried hard to pull out the sharp sword from his waist and whispered loudly: "If the lord really gives out Yizhou, he will step over my body!"

Liu Zhang stopped, sighed, shook his head, as if he had no choice but to Wang Lei's actions. At this time, Zhang Song and Fa Zheng came out and bowed to Liu Zhang and said, "The lord gave up his ego and took great justice. The people of Bashu will never be forgotten! It is really a selfish intention to engage in this action by the lord! I hope the lord will consider the people of Bashu!"

Liu Zhang saw that Zhang Song and Fa Zheng had deep meaning, but he seemed helpless, so he replied in a deep voice: "Why do you need to wait for more words in this matter?" After that, Liu Zhang turned sideways around Wang Lei and walked out quickly.

"Lord" Wang Lei shouted, and tears suddenly shot out from his eyes. They were tears of despair. They urged the sharp sword in his hand to wipe it hard between his neck. "Puff", blood splattered out, and Wang Lei's body fell heavily to the ground.

On that day, Liu Zhang gave birth to Chengdu City and was named Duke Anguo. Later, he settled in Jingzhou until he died of old age.

When the other counties and counties in Yizhou heard that Liu Zhang had surrendered, they also wrote letters and formally surrendered to the court. (To be continued...)
