Chapter 758 Liu Zhang's Choice
Because Li Yan and Fa Zheng took the lead, there were not many resistance forces in the city, and most of them were Zhang Ren's diehard descendants.
After hearing that Zhang Ren had died, they all chose to kill themselves and follow, and the battle situation lasted less than a few hours, and all of them were stabilized.
In this battle, Mianzhu was taken, and Gao Shun's department did not lose much, on the contrary, there were many soldiers and horses, and the momentum was even better than before.
In the lobby, Fa Zheng, who had not arrived at the end, sat down, and Gao Shun said slowly: "Mianzhu has fallen, victory is coming, Shun wants to start early tomorrow morning, force into Luocheng, and take Chengdu as soon as possible." ”
Fa Zheng Xintou, just when he wanted to make meritorious contributions, heard Gao Shun's words, stood up and said: "Mianzhu has been broken, and Chengdu has not much danger to defend." ”
"With Liu Zhang's weak character, he thought that there was no need to use knives and guns again, as long as he sent one person to persuade him to surrender, he would be able to take Chengdu without much effort and subdue the entire Yizhou in one fell swoop."
Persuasion to surrender can not only reduce the bloodshed of sacrifices, but also make it more logical, but if Liu Zhang does not agree, but takes the opportunity to delay and wait for the reinforcements to come, it will not be a second.
Gao Shun said with a little worry: "It's good to persuade you to surrender, but what if Liu Zhang uses this as an excuse to delay time?" ”
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "After the general sends people, he can lead a large army to follow and suppress, even if Liu Zhang has other ideas, he will not have a chance to show it." ”
This method is really good, but who should be sent.
Gao Shun swept around the hall, and finally his eyes fell on Fa Zheng, obviously wanting him to go.
Fa Zheng went, but his life would be in danger, after all, he had little status in Liu Zhang's place.
Seeing that his eyes came, Fa Zheng did not take it immediately, but fell into thought, but Li Yan on the side took the initiative to stand and take it before he answered.
"General, Yan Bucai, I am willing to go and persuade Liu Zhang."
The Li family has influence in Yizhou, and it is appropriate for him to go, after all, Liu Zhang will not offend the family again in the face of the great enemy, causing internal and external troubles.
Since there are people who are willing to go, Gao Shun, who is still unclear about the relationship between Yizhou, does not command indiscriminately, nods and says: "Okay, General Li pays attention to safety, the situation is not right, leave Chengdu in time." ”
Li Yan hugged his fists and said: "The general can rest assured, Yan has his own measure, and he will be safe and sound to persuade Liu Zhang." ”
"Well, in that case, you all rest early, and tomorrow morning, according to the plan."
Time is precious, and Gao Shun doesn't have many mothers-in-law, so after the plan is set, let everyone go back and rest.
Mianzhu was lost quickly, Liu Zhang didn't expect that in his eyes, Fa Zheng and Li Yan had gone, and it was time to take a breath.
So much so that when the news came, Liu Zhang thought it was a false alarm, and after confirming it again and again, he was paralyzed in his seat and could not recover for a long time.
After a series of rebellions, Liu Zhang's mind has collapsed, he thinks that he has never treated his subordinates and others badly, why did he choose to betray at the critical moment.
Liu Zhang did not convene his subordinates to discuss, because he had already given up, even if he wanted to resist in his heart, who knew if his subordinates still had the idea of surrendering.
"Report! Lord Governor, General Li Yan has returned and is asking to see him outside the mansion. ”
Li Yan is back?
Does he dare to come back?
Could it be that the mutiny news is fake?
Liu Zhang had several question marks in his heart, and a glimmer of hope rose in despair, and he hurriedly asked people to invite Li Yan over.
"The sinner, Li Yan, has seen Lord Governor."
"Get up, tell me what the hell is going on in Mianzhu?"
As soon as Li Yan arrived, Liu Zhang couldn't wait to ask, his face was full of anticipation.
Li Yan looked at his eyes, and he couldn't bear to shake his head in his heart, but he still cruelly broke Liu Zhang's hope.
"Lord Huizhou, Fa Zheng led Gao Shun's army to capture Mianzhu at night, the army was all captured, and the guilty generals were also among them, and General Zhang Ren died on the spot."
Hearing that Zhang Ren was killed in battle, Liu Zhang's face showed pain, and the whole person softened even more.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Then why are you here, but you have come to persuade you to surrender and make meritorious contributions? ”
Seeing that Liu Zhang relieved for a while, and let out a strange smile in a cold voice, Li Yan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou Mu, the sin will be captured and surrendered, and he was appointed by Gao Shun to persuade him to surrender, not sincerely, if Lord Zhou Mu is unwilling, Yan is willing to lead the dead soldiers to die on the battlefield, and he has shown his loyalty." ”
Although he didn't know how credible Li Yan's words were, Liu Zhang still mentioned a trace of spirit, but then shook his head slightly.
"That's it, since Zhang led the Yizhou pastor, there have been rebellions in various places, and even a member of his father's command can occupy Hanzhong and bully the lord in turn, maybe it is really not suitable for this position."
"Tell me, what did they promise?"
Hearing this, Li Yan's heart relaxed a lot, and he pretended to be loyal and said: "Lord Zhoumu, there are still tens of thousands of elites in Chengdu, why bother ......"
Liu Zhang waved his hand and interrupted: "Speaking of business, these Benzhou pastors have their own choices, and they don't need you to advise." ”
Seeing that Liu Zhang was rarely so decisive, Li Yan no longer pretended to be a gesture, and said: "They promised that as long as Lord Zhou Mu surrendered, they could protect the glory and wealth of the family, and there would never be the slightest danger to their lives. ”
In this regard, Liu Zhang had already guessed it, and asked slowly: "Is this what Gao Shun means, or Li Shu, or Li Huiyi?" ”
This......?
Li Yan hadn't even seen the two people behind him, how could he know if it was them or not, but for now, he could only fool first.
"It was Li Shu, the daughter of the general Li Huiyi, who promised it personally, so don't worry."
"Hmm." Liu Zhang said expressionlessly: "Okay, then you go back and tell her and let her come to Chengdu in person, otherwise the Governor of Benzhou will never surrender." ”
was so refreshing, Li Yan couldn't believe it for a while, and he prepared a draft for half a day, which also became air.
But it's good to be happy, anyway, to complete the task, is there any danger to his life, Li Yan hurriedly responded, hurriedly left Chengdu, and rushed to Gaoshun.
As soon as Li Yan left, Liu Zhang gathered all the officials under his command and prepared to formally discuss the surrender.
When these ministers learned that Mianzhu was lost, Liu Zhang wanted to surrender, and they were frightened for a while, and they were uneasy.
Seeing this, Wu Yi on the side stood up and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, this victory is not scored, how can you surrender so easily, there are still generals in the city, there are tens of thousands of elites in the city, and the grain can be eaten by the army for several years. ”
The Wu family is the leading family in Yizhou, and it is not impossible if they can really help each other and defend Chengdu.
But Liu Zhang didn't have much hope for this, in case of another mutiny, he was afraid that he would be hit harder.
Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "The soldiers are coming to the city, and the battle of the trapped beasts is only to increase the casualties and make the people suffer unjustified disasters. ”
Liu Zhang's words are equivalent to those of a dying person, with good intentions.
