Qi Lu stepped forward and bowed, politely advised him: "In the past, the prince sent troops to wipe out the enemy immediately. They could not achieve the situation. But now the army is outside, and Shu is empty, and the Zhufeng Pavilion left behind is like that... I am afraid that the rebellion will become increasingly powerful. Moreover, the whereabouts of Liu Qian, the military commander who rebelled last year, were unknown after the defeat. If he......"

"Okay, stop talking!" Zhu Li interrupted him unhappily. He stood up and paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, looking very upset.

He also knew very well that his clan brother Zhu Fengge was an incompetent and timid person. If things were really big, he would definitely not be able to suppress it. However, if he wanted to give up attacking Longyou, he felt a little unwilling. Zhu Li was very conflicted inside. He paced back and forth, his brows furrowed.

Qi Lu, who was next to him, saw his expression in his eyes, understood his mood, and persuaded softly: "In fact, the prince can regard attacking Longyou as a strategy, a strategy to seize Hanzhong. Longyou is bait, and Hanzhong is true. In this way, even if you can't take Longyou, the prince has achieved his goal. The key now is that the foundation cannot be lost. Once you lose Shuzhong, your subordinates are worried that the morale of the army will change!"

Perhaps it was Qi Lu's last sentence that touched him, Zhu Li's face changed several times, and finally sighed deeply, "Okay! This time I'll get the cheaper Zhang Huan."

He grabbed an arrow and threw it at the commander of the guard at the tent, and ordered: "Transfer my order and ordered the Marshal of the Later Army to return to Chengdu to suppress the rebellion quickly. Anyone who participates in the rebels, together with his family, will be killed to warn the people!"

In October of the sixth year of Xuanren, after occupying Chengdu, Zhang Huan ordered Zhu Fengge to send people to report to Zhu Li, who pretended to have 200,000 people in Shu County rebelled, affecting several counties around him. Zhu Li knew that the incident was serious and immediately sent 100,000 troops south to suppress the civil unrest. However, when the army crossed the Fushui River in Changming County, it was suddenly ambushed by 50,000 Xiliang troops. Zhu Li's army was defeated, with heavy casualties and countless surrenders. The chief general Wang Dayou was killed in the chaos.

After annihilated Zhu Li's forefront, Zhang Huan immediately ordered general Lin Jiuhan to lead 10,000 troops to head north and occupy Jiangyou County, Zhu Li's logistics base, in one go, rob Zhu Li's food and grass, and cut off his way to the south.

Zhu Li woke up like a dream until this time. He was furious and helpless. Shu was occupied and the news of the cut off food and grass quickly spread throughout the army. Zhu Li's army was in chaos. General Han Yi led 30,000 people to surrender to the Longyou Guards. At this moment, the Xiliang army in Wu County had increased to 80,000, and the army forced him to Wen County. Zhu Li was worried about internal and external troubles and was attacked from both sides. In desperation, he had to lead 30,000 confidants to abandon the camp overnight and fled, crossing the Qiang River to force himself into Hanzhong from the southern part of Wu County.

But unexpectedly, the eight thousand Xiliang troops stationed here voluntarily gave up the pass and released Zhu Li back to Hanzhong.

On October 25, the remnants of Zhuli's army who were left behind in Wenjun surrendered to the Xiliang army. At this point, all the 36 counties in Shu belonged to Zhang Huan, and Longyou and Shuzhong were connected. The power structure of the Tang Dynasty suddenly changed dramatically within a month.
