(Thanks to Xiaomeng for the reward and the gift, and to brother ih for the monthly pass and reward)
Liu Zhang was originally standing, angrily about to have Qiao Zhou operated on, but as soon as he heard that Liu Feng's army had arrived, he fell down as if he had been struck by lightning.
¡°That¡¯s it, let him go.¡±
The anger was instantly defeated. Liu Zhang sat there with a dull expression and waved his hands feebly.
The warriors quickly released Qiao Zhou.
The young scholar straightened his clothes, walked into the palace again, and said earnestly: "My lord, it is because of my salary as a food lord that I have to consider your lord's wealth and life and persuade you to surrender in the open city. If your lord really intends to do so, If he defends the city, Qiaozhou will also be willing to follow the Lord. If the city is alive and the people are alive, the city will be dead and the people will be dead."
The city is here and the people are there, but the city is gone and the people are gone
Is there no other option but surrender and death?
Liu Zhang¡¯s heart was as sharp as a knife.
It was temporarily difficult to make a decision, so Liu Zhang hurriedly summoned his officials to discuss countermeasures, but there were far fewer people than usual. When he asked, he found out that Xu Jing and others had been waiting for the enemy troops to approach the city. He fled across the city and went to Liu Feng.
Xu Jing and others were Dongzhou scholars, and Liu Zhang always treated them well, but now that the disaster was approaching, they abandoned him so decisively, but Qiao Zhou and other Yizhou scholars who were usually suppressed did not abandon him. go.
Liu Zhang sighed and sighed, and could only ask his officials what they should do.
In Chengdu today, all the elite soldiers have been mobilized. Generals such as Zhang Ren are outside, and those who have surrendered the enemy have surrendered. Although more than 10,000 troops and horses can be mobilized, there is not a single general who can be reused. .
The scribes looked at each other and discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution.
When he was worried, Qiao Zhou suggested that Liu Zhang lead his troops to the city and observe the enemy's strength before making any plans.
Liu Zhang had no choice but to follow Qiao Zhou's suggestion and led a group of restless officials out of Dezhou Mansion and rushed to the south gate to watch the enemy.
When he reached the top of the city, Liu Zhang looked far into the distance and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
A few miles away from the south gate, the enemy camps were brightly lit, shining like daylight.
Under the firelight, the fortresses were thick, the flags were flying, and the military appearance was very frightening.
Looking at the road to the south, countless torches came from the sky, stretching like endless snakes, slowly advancing towards the enemy camp. It was more troops approaching the city.
Liu Zhang watched in fear for several hours at the top of the city, but saw that the fire snake in the south was still not extinguished, and the number of enemies entering the city seemed endless.
It was late summer and early autumn, and it was getting cooler late at night, but Liu Zhang's back was dripping with sweat, making his clothes cling tightly to his skin like a blood-sucked locust.
After seeing the mighty military appearance of Liu Fengjun, Liu Zhang was really desperate this time.
"My lord, the enemy army is coming with the power of a hundred victories, and its momentum is so huge. With the panic of the army in Chengdu, how can we compete with it? My lord, whether to fight or surrender, you must think twice before acting."
Qiaozhou saw Liu Zhang's expression of shock and horror, so he lost no time in persuading him.
Liu Zhang's heart twitched again. This time, he did not blame Qiao Zhou. Instead, he looked around at the officials with a bitter face and asked in a trembling voice: "What about you? Do you think I should surrender or defend."
People around him, such as Dong He, also remained silent. Although they did not expressly support Qiao Zhou's remarks, their acquiescence was obvious.
None of his ministers could stand firm, and Liu Zhang's heart suddenly became cold again.
At this moment, although surrounded by ministers, Liu Zhang felt that he was completely alone.
Xu Jing and others have fled across the city to Liu Feng. Although Dong He, Qiao Zhou and others have not openly betrayed themselves, their hearts have already turned to Liu Feng. Even if Liu Zhang is incompetent, he still has this insight into people's hearts. Gotta come out.
"My lord, I think it is better to send someone to see Liu Feng and promise him to cede territory and pay compensation in exchange for Liu Feng's withdrawal. This may temporarily relieve the crisis in Chengdu."
Dong He, who had been silent all this time, really couldn't bear Liu Zhang's pitiful behavior, so he came up with such an idea.
Liu Zhang looked like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw. His originally lifeless expression suddenly showed some energy.
Just when Liu Zhang saw a glimmer of hope, Qiao Zhou said: "Liu Feng's army has arrived at the gates of Chengdu. We are at the end of our rope. The enemy is about to seize Yizhou. How can we withdraw our troops just because of a small gain?" You Zai takes this plan for granted, but Liu Fengduan will not agree to it."
A blow to the head, a direct blow that made Liu Zhang dizzy. After groaning in pain for a long time, Liu Zhang sighed helplessly: "At this point, there is no other way but to give it a try. Youzai, I will help you this time. As long as I can persuade Liu Feng to withdraw his troops, I can agree to any conditions."
Dong He was startled for a moment, and seemed to be reluctant, but after hesitating for a moment, he still handed over his hands and said: "I will do my best, and I hope I can live up to your master's trust."
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The Jingzhou army outside the city was not as large as Liu Zhang saw. In fact, it was just a vanguard army of 5,000 led by Huang Zhong.
Liu Feng ordered Huang Zhong to lead the vanguard on foot and cavalry, marching from Guangdu to Chengdu at starry night. The purpose was just to create the illusion that the army suddenly came to the city, and to cause a sudden blow to the morale of the people in Chengdu.
As for the seemingly endless snake-like soldiers and horses, Liu Feng just learned a trick from Dong Zhuo back then.
That night, after Huang Zhong's five thousand soldiers and horses set up camp at the city gate, they quietly sent troops back to the south, lit torches to pretend to be new troops, and swaggered into the camp. Repeatedly, they easily created the appearance of thousands of troops arriving at the main camp. The illusion comes.
Facts have proved that Liu Feng's strategy is very effective.
At dusk one day later, 30,000 troops led by Liu Feng arrived one after another. They marched on all sides of Chengdu and surrounded the Yizhou Prefecture.
On the day Liu Feng arrived, he heard that Liu Zhang's envoy Dong He had arrived this morning and had been waiting for him in the camp all day.
After entering the Chinese army's tent, a polite middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up and saluted, saying: "Dong He, the Chengdu commander under the Yizhou pastoral command, has met Liu Zhennan."
"Mr. Youzai, please forgive me now."
Liu Feng hurriedly stepped forward to help Dong He up and invited Dong He to take a seat. Both his attitude and the standard of hospitality were extremely enthusiastic.
Liu Feng was so courteous to Dong He. On the one hand, he had a love for talents. On the other hand, before leaving, Pang Tong reminded him that there was a wise man named Dong He under Liu Zhang of Yizhou. Talent, if you take Yizhou, this person will be of great use in the future, so you must treat him well.
??If we talk about Dong He, he is very different from other Yizhou people.
This person was originally from Zhijiang, Nanjun, Jingzhou, but his ancestors were originally from Jiangzhou, Bajun, Yizhou. In the early years of Jian'an, Dong He moved his family westward, left Nanjun and came to Yizhou, where he served as an official under Liu Zhang and has been a Arriving in Chengdu.
This means that Dong He¡¯s ancestral home is Yizhou, but he was born in Jingzhou. He served as an official in Jingzhou and served as an official under Liu Zhang. It can be said that he is half Yizhou and half Jingzhou.
Although Liu Feng planned to change Liu Zhang and Liu Bei's practice of reusing Dongzhou people and use Shu people to rule Shu, in order to ensure control of Yizhou, he could not completely hand over the military and political power of Yizhou to pure indigenous scholars.
In terms of the army, Liu Feng can certainly use Huang Zhong and others to guard key points, but in terms of political affairs, Pang Tong, Liu Ba and others have no time to spare, and using Jingzhou people to take charge of Yizhou's government affairs itself is contrary to Liu Feng's policy of governing Shu and will inevitably lead to It aroused the resentment of Shu people.
So, Dong He, who is half Jingzhou native, with his special life background and outstanding talent, just became Liu Feng's perfect candidate.
Because of this, Liu Feng naturally treated Dong He more enthusiastically than ordinary Yizhou scholars.
Dong He seemed a little flattered to receive such courtesy from Liu Feng, but he did not relax because of it and still dealt with it cautiously.
"My lord and General Liu are from the same clan. Previously, I was confused by others and wanted to revise the Old Testament. General Liu has a lot of people. I hope that out of the friendship of the same clan, he can withdraw his troops and return eastward."
After a few polite words, Dong He turned to the main topic.
Liu Feng had already guessed his intention. After hearing this, he just smiled and drank tea, but did not respond.
Dong He said hurriedly: "As long as General Liu can put aside his past grievances, our Lord is willing to cede Jiangyang and Dongguanghan counties as compensation."
Liu Feng sneered, "The officials from Jiangyang County took the initiative to surrender to me. As for Dongguanghan County, it is still in Liu Bei's hands. My general Yan Yanzheng is leading an army to conquer it. Liu Jiyu wants to take these two counties that are not in his hands. As a compensation condition, his calculation was really good."
Liu Feng's response was also what Dong He expected. He had to say: "But I don't know what Liu Feng will do before he withdraws his troops. My lord has spoken in advance. As long as General Liu is willing to withdraw his troops, my lord will accept any conditions."
"Are you willing to accept anything?"
Liu Feng had a strange look on his lips, pretending to think for a while, and then said: "In that case, well, if Liu Jiyu is willing to give up Shu County, I can consider withdrawing the troops."
Dong He's expression suddenly changed.
Compared with Cao Cao, Shu County is shaped like Wei County. Compared with Sun Quan, it is shaped like Danyang. Compared with Jingzhou, it is shaped like Nan County.
Chengdu County of the Yizhou Governor's Department is under the jurisdiction of Shu County. If Liu Zhang cedes Shu County to Liu Feng, what is the difference between this and surrender?
Seeing Dong He's behavior, Liu Feng laughed and said relaxedly: "I was joking. Don't take offense, Mr. Youzai."
Dong He also knew in his heart that Liu Feng would not retreat. The plan he came up with for Liu Zhang was just a partial fulfillment of his duties as a minister.
When the words reached this point, Dong He could only sigh, cupped his hands and said, "But I don't know how General Liu will be willing to retreat. Please clarify."
Liu Feng no longer kept secrets, and said: "Mr. Youzai must have heard that our army came from Jiangzhou. Along the way, the county officials looked down upon the wind, and in some places the local heroes even killed the county magistrate. , took the initiative to open the city to welcome him. It can be seen that Liu Jiyu has lost all his people. I, Liu Feng, followed the will of God and the people and came to take Shu. How can I return empty-handed?" - Didn't finish reading?
