This messenger was Jiang Gan, who surrendered to Liu Bei a year ago, and was sent by Liu Chan as a lobbyist to persuade Gao Ding to surrender.

"I've seen Mr. Jiang Gan!" Gao Ding saluted, then pulled Jiang Gan and said, "How is it, what does the prince say?" ”

Jiang Gan unhurriedly pulled Gao Ding's hand away from him, and said with a smile: "King Suo, are you here to take refuge or to surrender!" ”

Gao Ding said without thinking: "Naturally, I came to take refuge in the world!" ”

Jiang Gan waved his hand and said, "So please go back!" ”

Gao Ding's face sank when he heard this: "Sir, what do you mean, the prince does not accept my refuge?" Now Yonghong, Zhu Bao has gathered the barbarian soldiers, and will soon kill Chengdu, which can only have 3,000 soldiers and horses. I take refuge in the world, and I will be able to guard Chengdu for him. ”

Jiang Gan smiled and said: "The prince does not accept refuge, only accepts surrender, if the king wants to enter the city, he needs to go to hand over the surrender letter in person, and these soldiers and horses of yours, all weapons and armor, must be handed over." ”

Gao Ding was furious when he heard this: "It's just too much deception!" If it weren't for Liu Chan's strategy, how could I have fallen to this point, now that his strategy has succeeded and has achieved his goal, would he still humiliate me? ”

"Hahaha!" Jiang Gan laughed, looked at Gao Ding with a look of disdain, and said: "You should be glad that the prince used tricks on you, and now you have the opportunity to surrender." If you follow Zhu Bao and Zhu Rong to Chengdu together, you will die without a place to be buried, and you will not even have a chance to surrender. ”

Gao Ding said with a calm face: "There are only 3,000 soldiers in your city who can fight, and I have no place to die without a place to be buried, it's a joke!" ”

Jiang Gan sneered: "Three thousand soldiers and horses? How holy my lord is, and how wise are his advisors, do you think they have no defense? ”

"This ......," Gao Ding was speechless.

"If you don't want to surrender, you can leave!" Jiang Gan waved his hand and said: "The prince of the world uses a plan, the original intention is to destroy you, you come to Chengdu, he is willing to let you surrender is already benevolent and righteous, don't get an inch!" ”

Jiang Gan said that, he was going to brush his sleeves and leave.

"Sir, wait!" Gao Ding hurriedly grabbed Jiang Gan and said, "Sir, it's okay for me to surrender, but I just entered the city alone, and the soldiers and horses handed over their weapons, if the prince is not good for me, what should I do?" ”

Jiang Gan smiled: "Hehe, the lord is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, although the prince is young, but the name of benevolence and righteousness is not inferior to the lord, which is not good for you?" You think too much of yourself! Will the Son of the World compromise his name of righteousness in order to deal with you as an insignificant person? ”

"Okay, I surrender!" Gao Ding took a deep breath.

It's not okay if you don't surrender, now that their food is running out, many soldiers are hungry, and Chengdu is already fortified for a hundred miles, and there is no place to rob if you want to loot.

Moreover, Jiang Gan said before that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang still have arrangements, if there are still soldiers and horses hidden in the city, if he is unwilling to surrender, maybe Liu Chan will send troops to attack.

How could a group of hungry soldiers beat the soldiers under Liu Bei's command.

Surrender, there is still a way to survive, isn't it just to lose some face? Being alive is more important than anything else.

Jiang Gan said: "Then please ask the king to prepare a letter to go to the city of Chengdu and pile up all the soldiers' weapons under the city!" ”

"Hey, I'm ready!" Gao Ding sighed, his eyes were full of depression, if Liu Bei was in Yizhou, he would just grovel. But now he is facing Liu Chan, a child of a few years old, who originally wanted to enter Chengdu in the name of refuge, so as not to lose the face of his king, but he didn't expect to have to grovel.

An hour later, Gao Ding led his soldiers and horses to the city of Chengdu.

Jiang Gan first entered the city to report the news and handed over Gao Ding's surrender letter, and Gao Ding ordered all the weapons and armor of the soldiers and horses to be stacked under the city, waiting for the soldiers and horses in the city to collect.

After a while, Jiang Gan went out of the city again.

"The prince has a fate, King Xuansu Gaoding, and the general Ehuan enters the mansion to meet you!"

Gao Ding's face turned dark, he had already surrendered, and Liu Chan didn't go out of the city to greet him? Announcing his audience? It's really done enough of the etiquette of the subordinates.

However, the situation was pressing, and Gao Ding did not dare to complain, so he honestly followed Jiang Gan into the city.

On the road at the entrance of the governor's office, a row of soldiers stood on both sides, and the soldiers held Changge, forming a triangular passage.

On both sides of the street, people were standing.

"I heard that Nanzhong is strong, and the barbarians have rebelled, and in the past few days, the prince has ordered the wall to clear the wilderness, why is there such a battle today?"

"The Son of the World was born to know that he is the reincarnation of a saint, and he invited us to come over, and there must be a reason for him to do so, just look at it."

"I just saw thousands of soldiers and horses from outside the city, but they don't seem to have come to attack the city!"

The people talked about it.

Dong He stood on the steps at the entrance of the mansion.

He pressed his hand and said to the people: "You must also know that the south is strong, and the barbarian soldiers have rebelled, but you don't need to panic, they have not sent troops, they have already been in civil strife, and the king of Yue Susuo Gaoding, today he has led 5,000 troops to surrender." I summoned you to come here today to observe the ceremony. ”

When the people heard this, they were immediately pleasantly surprised.

"It's chaotic before the troops are dispatched, and King Gaoding actually led his troops to surrender?"

"I said a long time ago, a rabble of brute soldiers, don't you have to worry about it."

"I'm laughing to death, it's messy before I send troops, what's there to be afraid of!"

"All the heroes and powerful will not easily fight among themselves, in my opinion, I am afraid that the prince of the world used a scheme."

"That's right, only the prince has the ability to make them infighting."

After hearing the news, the people who originally learned about Haoqiang and the barbarian soldiers settled down.

Haoqiang, although there are many brute soldiers, there is infighting before the war has started, what else is there to be afraid of?

Dong He pressed his hand and continued: "In addition, the lord has defeated Cao Cao in Hanzhong, and he has sent 30,000 troops to return to Chengdu to defend it, and we can come back in half a month, we only need to hold on to Chengdu for half a month." ”

"Great, a rabble of barbarian soldiers, the lord's 30,000 soldiers are back, keep them scared ass urine!"

"We're safe now."

At this moment, Gao Ding, E Huan under the leadership of Jiang Gan has already gone to the street at the entrance of the government again, and the discussion of Dong He and the people came into his ears, and Gao Ding suddenly realized.

It turned out that Liu Chan set up such a big battle, not to humiliate him, but to calm the people's hearts and deter Xiaoxiao.

Thinking of this, Gao Ding's mood suddenly became much more comfortable.

Walking all the way through the streets, Gao Ding endured the discomfort of being watched by others and entered the mansion.

At the door of the inner door of the mansion, Liu Chan has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Gao Ding come in, Liu Chan immediately greeted him, and said: "Zen has seen the king of Suo, because of the knowledge that the heroic barbarians killed Chengdu, the people in the city are uneasy, and there are many small people, in order to calm the people's hearts and deter Xiaoxiao, I have made this decision, and please don't be surprised." ”
