"Well, let him in." Liu Zhang said calmly. In the face of a powerful enemy, his superficial work was quite good. "Your Majesty." Seeing that the envoy of the Xiliang Army only slightly bowed his hand instead of paying homage, Liu Zhang showed an unhappy expression. In any case, he was the King of Hanzhong and had a prominent position. Even in front of Jia Rong, he still had a certain status. The right to speak. "Don't kneel down when you see the prince." The guard next to him shouted after seeing Liu Zhang's expression. "Your Highness?" The envoy said slowly, "There is no Prince in Liang Kingdom." "Bold." Liu Zhang said, "Don't you think the sword in my hand is not sharp?" "You will know after you try it." The envoy was neither humble nor arrogant. said. Liu Zhang felt a little bitter in his mouth. An envoy from the Xiliang Army has such courage. Could it be that the Han family has really exhausted all its power in the world? With a "clang" sound, the guard pulled out the sword at his waist and slashed at the envoy. Liu Zhang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Get back." "The Xiliang army is really extraordinary. Even a messenger has such courage." Liu Zhang put away his angry expression and smiled. "The courage of the envoy is given by the Holy One. Our country of Daliang has a strong military and the people are loyal to it. Wherever the army goes, it looks down on the wind, let alone Yizhou." Liu Zhang did not care about this with the envoy, and asked directly: "What position do you hold in the Xiliang army?" "Guan Ning, the Minister of Rites of the Liang Kingdom." "Oh, it turns out to be Guan Daru. I'm rude." There are only a handful of famous Confucians in the world, and Guan Ning is one of them. Unexpectedly, he turned to Jia Rong and became an envoy. As for the position of Minister of Rites, Liu Zhang also heard about it. The system of three provinces and six ministries has spread throughout the world. Jia Rong's treason is no longer something that happened overnight. Regarding this , it did not cause any turmoil in the world, and people even dared to establish a country, let alone some of the systems of the Han Dynasty. "The Holy One sent me here to point out a way for the King of Hanzhong." Guan Ning said directly without caring about Liu Zhang's feelings at all. Although Liu Zhang was furious in his heart, he still had to do a good job on the surface. After all, the Xiliang Army's military power was there. If Guan Ning was embarrassed, there was no guarantee that Jia Rong would embarrass him in the future. "Guan Daru, if you have anything to say, just say it." Liu Zhang tried his best to keep his clothes and a kind face. "Our country, Daliang, has a strong military and a peaceful and peaceful country. But after the great chaos in the world, the people's minds cannot be changed by one person. I hope the King of Hanzhong can see the situation clearly, instead of stubbornly resisting and just relying on Yizhou. , It is difficult to resist the Xiliang army. Presumably, the King of Hanzhong understands this better than me." Guan Ning said: "The Holy Lord treats people generously. After the King of Hanzhong takes refuge, prosperity and wealth are inevitable. The King of Hanzhong should have already done something about Zitong Pass. Knowing that tens of thousands of Yizhou troops guarded the dangerous pass, they were still breached. Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel a little sad when Guan Ning hit him. If Zitong was still here, he wouldn't feel as anxious as he does now. Guan Ning was also pushed out and beheaded by him. He was weaker than others and had to think about what happened after his death. "If Guan Daru has anything to say, just say it clearly." Liu Zhang said. He always recognized Guan Ning's identity as a Daruguo, not as an envoy from the Liang Kingdom. After all, he was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he was very disgusted with calling someone with a different surname king and emperor. , if he hadn't been worried about Xiliang's military strength, he might have been interested in killing people. "Since the King of Hanzhong is so cheerful, I won't hide it anymore. Your Majesty's intention is for the King of Hanzhong to surrender to the Xiliang Army. The two sides will cooperate so that the people of Yizhou can live a stable life as soon as possible." "What are you talking about? "You mean, do you think it's because of my lack of ability? Before the Xiliang army came, Yizhou was peaceful and the houses were not closed at night without picking up items on the road. Now there are countless casualties in Yizhou. It has a direct relationship with Jia Rong," Liu Zhang said through gritted teeth. There are reverse scales. "Hahaha, the Xiliang army's reputation for benevolence and righteousness spreads all over the world. Wherever it goes, the people praise it. Why are there complaints? I think the king of Hanzhong just can't see the situation clearly. Now that the emperor is personally conducting the expedition, Mianzhu can't be defeated in a battle. , After Mianzhu is defeated, how can Chengdu last long?" Guan Ning also lost his patience. "This matter is of great importance and I cannot make the decision. After taking me back, I will discuss it with my advisors before making a final decision." The situation was weaker than others, so Liu Zhang had no choice but to put down his dignity. What Guan Ning said is also true. Strong and dangerous fortresses such as Jiameng Pass and Zitong could not stop the Xiliang Army's attack. The Xiliang Army's vigorous and powerful actions and powerful troops deeply shocked Liu Zhang. After conveying the words of Guan Ning, the envoy of the Xiliang Army, in a tactful manner, there was a brief silence in the field. At this time, no one wanted to jump out and shoot the first bird. Even if they wanted to surrender, they would do so secretly. Do not damage the family's reputation. "My lord, no?, the Xiliang army is strong, Jia Rong has no Han clan. After the lord surrenders, he will be prosperous and wealthy at most, but we can still be high officials. Is the lord willing to give up everything now? Yizhou's military strength is gathered together. Tens of thousands of people are not without the strength to fight. "Huang Quan said, as an old man in Yizhou, Huang Quan really disagreed with Liu Zhang's cowardice and surrender before fighting. No matter how good Jia Rong was in the eyes of the people, in his eyes, he was just a fatherless man. A motherless person who eats the emperor's salary and does not share his worries is really a traitor. Sometimes even he can't understand why such a person wins the hearts of the people. Even if the people are stupid, can't they see that Jia Rong A sinful face under the halo. "My lord, Master Huang's words are true. The Xiliang army has done many unjust things and will not last long. Cao Cao in the Central Plains is a powerful man and will be his powerful enemy. All he needs to do is send an envoy to tell you something." Among them, Cao Cao sent troops to Hanoi, which would definitely have a diversionary effect. Then, relying on General Liu's prestige in Jingzhou, he sent reinforcements to drive the Xiliang army out of Yizhou. It was not a problem. "Fazheng said. Huang Quan couldn't help but look at Fazheng a little longer. He didn't despise Fazheng because of his age. Maybe Liu Zhang didn't hear the meaning of Fazheng's words. This guy must be biased towards Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang was at this time. The reinforcements are in Bajun. It is said that they lost ten thousand people in the previous battle. Compared with the Xiliang army, they are no match at all. They have elite soldiers and generals with excellent equipment. Liu Bei just stole the fruits of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Liu Bei and Jia Rong are both thieves, so Huang Quan naturally doesn't like them. "I don't know what other opinions you have. "Liu Zhang turned his attention to the other people in the room. Of the two strategies, he agreed with Fa Zheng's. The main reason was that the power of the Xiliang army made him feel fearful. They were as powerful as Zhang Ren, but they were also captured alive. Yang Huailing Bao was also beheaded in public display. Under such military power, Mianzhu's defenders must have been trembling with fear. Moreover, this time Jia Rong went out in person, which was completely different from the nature of Jia Rong's attack on Yizhou led by Guo Si. "Mianzhu is the last line of defense for Chengdu. If it is lost, Yizhou will be in crisis. The terrain of Mianzhu is the same as that of Zitong. I don't know which general is willing to do it." Lead there. "The counselor's few words gave up the idea of ??surrendering to the Xiliang army. As Huang Quan said, he is a prince after all. After surrendering, he will be strictly guarded by the Xiliang army and will be a rich man for the rest of his life. Weng fortunately said that if there were any changes, they would be eradicated as soon as possible. "I am willing to lead troops there. "Wu Yi came out to pay homage. Zitong was defeated. Wu Ban's life and death were unknown. Wu Ban had already hated Jia Rong in his heart. Guan Ning was restrained in the palace, and Liu Zhang also left a way out for himself. Once the Xiliang army attacks, you can negotiate terms with the Xiliang army through Guan Ning. The Xiliang army is fighting, and the printing factory in Chang'an is not idle. Since there is such a thing as newspapers, the merchants in Chang'an, What I like the most is to buy one after eating, and then slowly read about the things in the city. The newspaper is published in a wide range of areas, including military and political affairs. Many businessmen know the latest policies of the Xiliang Army. , that is, through the newspapers. Nowadays, the Chang'an newspapers are full of issues about the Battle of Yizhou. The newspapers naturally exposed all the bad things Liu Zhang and Liu Yan did, except the bad things their ancestors did. Pull it out and let everyone read it. Public opinion, naturally guided by the newspaper, is in favor of the Xiliang Army. As the person in charge of the newspaper, Chen Lin has been very busy recently. With his outstanding literary talent, he has found a place to show his talents in the newspaper. , seeing that the published things were very popular in Chang'an and even the entire Liang Kingdom, he also felt unprecedented satisfaction. Guan Ning, a great scholar, was detained by Liu Zhang openly, which naturally became an incident that Chen Lin focused on suppressing. An article will be published. What Liu Zhang criticized was that his body was completely damaged. When Jia Rong heard about Guan Ning, he smiled lightly and was noncommittal. If Liu Zhang had the courage, he would sacrifice the flag with Guan Ning, which would not only boost morale, but also show his determination. He didn't do that. Doing it shows that he has great selfishness. In the final analysis, Liu Zhang is also afraid of death. If he doesn't surrender now, he just thinks that he has the strength to fight against his own side. Mianzhu, the only way to Chengdu, has such a majestic pass standing in front of him. , which is daunting, but after the experience of Zitong's attack, the generals are full of confidence. "Mianzhu is dangerous. I don't know what good strategy is there to be a filial piety?" "Jia Rong set his sights on Guo Jia and conquered the levels one after another, all relying on explosives. If his generals become dependent on them and are unwilling to make progress on the battlefield, once the Xiliang Army loses this advantage, it will become a problem for the army. A fatal blow, don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, especially after the princes learned that the Xiliang army had this kind of weapon, they would definitely follow suit. "Your Majesty, Mianzhu is the capital of Chengdu."As long as the last pass of the city is broken, Chengdu will be within easy reach, and the entire Yizhou will also belong to the Liang Kingdom. I heard that the guard general in the city is Wu Yi, Wu Ban's brother, so why not send Wu Ban in to persuade him, and get Mianzhu without any bloodshed? For Yizhou, this is the most shocking thing. "Guo Jiadao.
