Two days was not a long time, and the Guanzhong army was stationed in the camp for repairs for the past two days.

The ten-day period has arrived, and Chen Xu led a large army with bright armor to the city again, looking at this city at his fingertips.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Dian Wei dressed in military uniform, rode on a tall horse, and came to the city wall.

He clung to his throat and shouted: "The ten-day period has come, and if you don't open the city gates at this time, when will you wait?" ”

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, on the wall of Chengdu, which had been silent for two days, a dense number of flags were suddenly erected.

"Chirp!"

A round of arrows poured down in the direction of Dian Wei, only to see Wang Fu holding a sharp sword, pointing at Dian Wei and scolding: "You are waiting to invade my city, kill my people, and still want me to surrender the city?" ”

"In the land of Bashu, there are only loyal people who died in battle, and there are no cowards who betray and surrender."

"Bell, bell!"

Dian Wei was shocked and angry, and hurriedly waved the weapon in his hand, knocking all the arrows to the ground.

Chen Xu was also shocked, and shouted to the sword and shield hand beside him: "Wait for the hurry up and go to protect the general of the protection code!" ”

Even if he knew that Dian Wei was brave and martial, the arrows in the city might not be able to hurt him in the slightest, but Chen Xu was still a little worried in his heart.

However, the shield soldier had not yet rushed into the battlefield, and Dian Wei had already run out, but his dark face was a little blue with anger.

"Lord, please be the vanguard, and I am willing to lead the troops into the city and kill this fang!"

Dian Wei has been by Chen Xu's side for a long time, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking power for so many years, and he rarely has time to get angry.

But today, Wang Fu made him angry.

There is no doubt that Wang Fu sent people out of the city two days ago to discuss the surrender of the city today, which was just a delaying tactic.

Chen Xu's face is also as heavy as water, and there are not many people who can make him suffer for so many years. But I don't want to, today in the city of Chengdu, I was actually being played.

Wu Yi's face became extremely pale, and he came to Chen Xu and said: "Lord, the news that the last general has found out is not wrong, Liu Jiyu did issue a decree that if he defends the city for less than ten days, he will punish his family. ”

Wu Yi had already descended to Chen Xu for the first time, and if the generals in Guanzhong felt bad because of this incident, he really wanted to cry without tears.

Chen Xu took a deep breath, slowly calmed down the anger in his heart, and said to Wu Yi: "Of course, I know that Qingzhi's news is not wrong, Ziyuanxiu has to think nonsense. ”

Whether the news is true or not, in fact, it doesn't matter much, what Chen Xu wants to do is to forcibly break through Chengdu and let the city guards bear his anger.

"Prepare siege engines and storm the city!"

Since this trip was only to receive the city, the army under Chen Xu did not lead the siege equipment, and had to go back to carry these things.

Being teased by others, anyone will be furious, and Guan Zhongjun is no exception.

Under the city of Chengdu, the smoke of gunfire rose again.

However, Wang Fu and Ma Han were given a two-day respite, but they took advantage of this time to secretly prepare the city defense equipment and strengthen the city wall.

As a result, the Guanzhong army, which could have broken the city in two days, took another eight days to conquer Chengdu.

On the day of the break, the defenders of Chengdu were almost killed and wounded, Wang Fu killed himself, and Ma Han was captured alive by Dian Weisheng and sacrificed in front of Chen Xu.

In the governor's mansion, Chen Xu looked at Ma Han, who was tied up and kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The heavenly soldiers are here, why don't you open the city and surrender as soon as possible?" ”

Ma Han stubbornly said: "The matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, as a general of Bashu, I naturally have to defend against the enemy for the lord." ”

Chen Xu was even angrier in his heart, and ordered him to be beheaded left and right.

Ma Han was shocked when he heard this, and shouted in his mouth: "General Mingjian, a certain willingness to surrender!" ”

Chen Xu laughed angrily and shouted: "The heavenly soldiers have resisted stubbornly here, they have been defeated and captured and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, how can a villain like you be qualified to become a general under my command?" ”

After speaking, the knife and axe man dragged Ma Han, who kept begging for mercy, and beheaded him to show the public.

Chen Xu still did not give up, and sent people to take the heads of Wang Fu and Ma Han to spread them in the city, and sent Lu Bu to arrest those and send private soldiers to help the leaders of the powerful clans who defended the city.

For a time, there was a storm in Chengdu.

When more than a dozen family heads were arrested, Chen Xu angrily reprimanded: "Why do you help the abuse? ”

These people already knew about Ma Han's beheading, and they were terrified in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "It's not that we are willing to be enemies with the general, it's just that Wang Fu is pressing forward step by step, and we are reluctant to contribute to the family's private soldiers." ”

Before Chen Xu could speak, Lu Bu was immediately furious and shouted, "Are you waiting when we are stupid? ”

Lu Bu was tall, extraordinary, not angry, and his eyes immediately frightened those family heads into trembling.

It's not that they're afraid of death, but they're worried that the entire clan will be implicated, which is absolutely unwilling to see this kind of thing happen for people who put the interests of the family first.

In fact, they were indeed fooling Chen Xu and the others.

The private soldiers in these people's families are not even less than the defenders of Chengdu, if everyone really has no intention of helping to defend the city, how can Wang Fu force them?

Wang Fu was moved by emotion and reason, and then he said that he moved everyone to help defend the city.

After all, when these people were under Liu Zhang's rule, their family power was extremely large.

If Chen Xu enters the land of Bashu, with the strength of this person, these big clan forces will definitely be greatly suppressed.

Wang Fu grasped the thoughts of the people, so he strongly encouraged them to help defend the city.

In order to strengthen the hearts of everyone, Wang Fu even lied that Guanzhong was already in danger, and as long as it was delayed for a few days, Chen Xu would lead his troops to retreat.

It is precisely because of this that these big clans will have the courage to be enemies of Chen Xu. Otherwise, knowing that the city would be breached, they would only be able to help each other at most.

Everyone looked at the murderous Lu Bu, thinking that when this person captured them, some of the servants wanted to resist, but they were all killed by Lu Bu mercilessly, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

One person was silent for a long time, and then he stepped forward and saluted Chen Xu and said: "We are just confused by Wang Fu, today we already know repentance, and I hope that the general will be extrajudicial and merciful." ”

"We still have some influence in the land of Bashu, and we are willing to surrender to the general with my family and help the general contact the families in the rest of the city."

"In this way, many cities can be passed on to the public."

Wu Yi stood up again at this time, came to Chen Xu's side and whispered, "Lord, what these people say is true. ”

Chengdu used to be the seat of Yizhou, and the natural power of the big clans in the city was huge, and the influence of the entire Bashu land was also terrifying.

And what the man said was not a lie.

With the prestige of these people in the land of Bashu and the intricate relationship with the rest of the big clans, it was not difficult to persuade many people to surrender when the Guanzhong army had the upper hand.

Although Chen Xu had nominally captured Guanghan County, not all the counties had surrendered. The Guanzhong army was in a hurry to attack Chengdu, and did not pay attention to those cities for the time being.

Not only that, Chen Xu's attack on Shu County was also all the way south, but for the rest of Shu County, there was no time to divide troops to attack.

If these people cooperated, supplemented by the strong deterrent power of the Guanzhong army, the vast majority of the city defenders would take the initiative to surrender.

Even if there are individual defenders who are unwilling to surrender, when they lead the troops to fight in the future, the big clans in the city will become the help of the Guanzhong army.

This is also the capital of the family, which stands tall in troubled times.

Chen Xu closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he glanced at these people with burning eyes, and said, "If you are used by me, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen the lord." ”

After sending the people away, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh slightly, these families were like tumors in the territory.

But these people have a complicated relationship with various forces in Yizhou, and even Chen Xu doesn't dare to do anything to them.

At the very least, before he completely captured Yizhou and completely controlled the hearts of the people, Chen Xu still needed the help of these people.

After all, Yizhou is not the rest of the states and counties under Chen Xu's rule.

In such a desolate place as Bingzhou and Liangzhou, there are not many families in the territory at all, and after sweeping these two states, Chen Xu did not suffer much resistance.

As for Guanzhong, although it is a gathering place for the big families, it has experienced the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the rebellion of the princes against Dong, the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the ****** that lasted for several years.

When Chen Xu entered the main pass, there were nine times out of ten people who fled the local area, and it was when the power of the big clans in the territory was the weakest.

On the other hand, Yizhou has not experienced many wars for so many years, and Yizhou is too remote, even before the world is in turmoil, the imperial decree cannot be conveyed very clearly here.

And the people who control Yizhou are local officials and local families.

After Liu Yan entered Shu, in order to contain the local clans, he reused the Dongzhou clan and maintained a delicate balance.

Even if Liu Bei entered Shu in history, he was very compromised with the local family.

Liu Bei even married Wu Yi's sister who had already been married, and once again reused the Dongzhou clan, so as to use the power of the Wu clan to contain the local family of Yizhou.

"Whew!"

With a long exhale, Chen Xu rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired.

Even if he has brave soldiers and strategists, he still can't act recklessly in the face of this kind of thing.

"Stomp, stomp!"

A rush of footsteps sounded, and I saw Gan Ning striding in.

After saluting, he said: "My lord, nine out of ten of the Yizhou army were killed in the battle, and after our army entered the city, it still captured many civilians who helped the enemy defend the city. ”

"I don't know what to do with these people?"

Chen Xu was slightly stunned, waved his hand and said, "Let it go." ”

Gan Ning did not promise, but said: "Among these people, it is true that many of them were forced by Wang Fu and others to help defend the city. ”

"However, there are some people, they are all willing to help defend the city, and they are not punished for these people?"

Chen Xu still said: "It's all released." ”

Although Gan Ning had some ideas, he did not continue to advise, and immediately left Chen Xu's mansion and went to release the arrested people.

When the people were released and returned to their homes, their families were all relieved.

Although I had heard that the Guanzhong army would not kill the people before, when they saw the men in their families being arrested, these people still felt a little upset in their hearts.

A woman said to her husband, who had just been released, "I advised you not to help defend the city, but you always refused to listen. ”

The man said nonchalantly: "The lord treats us so well, Chengdu was besieged before, how can I sit idly by?" ”

"What's more, the fact that the Guanzhong Army does not kill the people has already spread. As long as I don't die on the walls, I'll be fine if I get caught. ”

The lord in the man's mouth is naturally Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. Many of the people who helped defend the city actually had this kind of thought.

Although they were also on the city wall, they only helped to fight and carry the equipment defending the city, and they did not want to really fight the Guanzhong army at all.

After all, if you die in battle while defending the city, you are really dead.

If he can save his life when defending the city, he can not only make the rest of the people impress him, but also repay Liu Zhang's kindness.

And when the city is broken, there will be no worries about life, so why not?

"Knock knock!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a sharp knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he found two children running towards him.

"Uncle, you dare to fight the enemy and come back alive, you are so powerful."

Seeing the adoring expressions of the two little children, the man suddenly felt a little fluttery.

……

Chengdu is the former capital of Yizhou, and after Chen Xu broke it, he naturally had to deal with a lot of things.

On the one hand, he wanted to use the strength of the family to let the rest of the counties of Shu County surrender without a fight, and on the other hand, he had to reorganize the armament and prepare to continue to go south to capture Liu Zhang.

As long as Liu Zhang can be captured or killed, Yizhou will become very easy to pacify. On the contrary, if Liu Zhang lives for a day, Chen Xu will not be able to sit firmly in Yizhou.

The army stopped in Chengdu for two days, although most of the counties in Shu County were decided, but the guards of the two counties of Jiangyuan and Linqiong still wanted to resist stubbornly.

The guards of these two counties are also the county towns that Liu Zhang sent heavy troops to guard before leaving.

Of course, it is said that it is heavily guarded, but it is only a little more than the soldiers and horses in the rest of the cities, and the total number of people will not be too much.

Subsequently, Chen Xu left Zhang Ji in Chengdu and prepared to continue to lead the army south.

Just when the army was about to set out, Zhang Song suddenly came to Chen Xu's side and said: "Lord, I have a friend named Fa Zheng, who is filial and upright, and has the talent to go through heaven and earth. ”

Chen Xu was overjoyed when he heard this, and deliberately asked, "How does this person's talent compare to Ziqiao?" ”

Zhang Song said ashamedly: "The talent of filial piety is ten times better than mine, compared with the two, it is like a pheasant and a phoenix in the nine heavens." ”

Chen Xu said: "Why does Ziqiao despise himself so much? ”

Zhang Song Zhengse said: "I'm not exaggerating, after the lord saw filial piety, he knew that this was true." ”

Chen Xu hurriedly asked, "Where is filial piety?" ”

Zhang Song's face was a little unsightly, and he said: "Xiaozhi originally served as the commander of Xinfeng County, but because I surrendered to the lord, Liu Jiyu was jealous of Xiaozhi and wanted to kill him. ”

Fortunately, Xiaozhi noticed it, so he hung up the seal in advance and left, and there is still no news to this day. I want to leave for a while and go looking for Hyozhi. ”
