In the direction of Luocheng, Li Fuzheng, the chief general of the Shu army, was standing on the gate tower of the east gate, anxiously waiting, according to the time, the henchmen he sent to the direction of Mianzhu should have come back a long time ago.

"General, don't worry, maybe there is a delay on the road, as long as our army takes the initiative to surrender, the Jin army will definitely not agree." Li Liang, who was standing beside Li Fu, comforted softly.

Li Fu looked worried, looked at Li Liang beside him, and said softly: "I was afraid that there would be some accidents on the road, in case the letter was snatched by the gangsters and sent to Chengdu, wouldn't it be very troublesome." ”

Li Liang smiled slightly and comforted: "The general is too worried, the road that can lead to Chengdu within three days must pass through Luocheng, and Luocheng is now in the hands of our army, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Li Fu suddenly realized, nodded and said, "That's right!" As long as our army guards the east and west gates, and does not let idle people wait for the guò, even if there are gangsters who accidentally rob the letters, they will not be able to send them to Chengdu, if they take a detour, it will be three days later, and by then, we will have already returned to the Great Jin, and it doesn't hurt if the imperial brother knows. ”

"Haha! Shogun Takami. Li Liang smiled, looked up into the distance, and suddenly found that a large number of troops were approaching, and it could be seen from the banner that it was the main force of the Jin army.

"General, the Jin army brigade is here, and most of them are here to surrender." Li Liang pointed to the Jin soldiers and horses in the distance and said loudly.

Li Fu frowned and looked into the distance, and sure enough, when he saw the Jin army brigade, which was steadily approaching, he was surprised and delighted in his heart, paused, and suddenly wondered: "It's not right!" If the Jin army agrees to the return of our army, at least send a messenger to announce it first. The henchmen who were supposed to be sent out should also come back to report the situation. ”

"Yes! General, something seems wrong with the situation, isn't something wrong cuò. Li Liang also felt that the situation was a little strange.

Seeing that something was wrong, beads of sweat appeared on Li Fu's forehead, and he looked nervously into the distance, closely watching every move of the Jin army's military horses.

"General, the situation is unclear now, whether we are going to open the city gate and surrender, or let the soldiers climb the city wall. Ready to defend? Li Liang ran out of ideas for a while. Hurriedly asked.

Li Fu slapped his forehead with his hand, turned around a few times in place, and said softly: "Don't prepare anything, wait and see what happens." ”

"Yes. Checkmate. Li Liang hurriedly responded.

Iron Bull led 8,000 men and horses before dusk. Finally arrived outside the east gate of the city. Looking at the banner of the Shu army fluttering on the city wall, the corner of Tie Niu's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, when the army arrived at the position of three hundred steps of the city wall at the east gate of the city. Iron Bull stopped the group.

Since he met Li Fu's henchmen who delivered the letter on the way, Tie Niu carefully speculated about the content of the letter in his heart, and in his heart, the general of the Shu army personally wrote a letter to Hua'an, which was a kind of expression of softness, and the content of the letter was mostly about the terms of surrender.

Therefore, Tie Niu deliberately led the army to march slowly in order to wait for Hua An's new order, and now, the army has arrived outside the east gate of the city, and Tie Niu is still waiting.

"General, you see, the defense of the Shu army's city wall is not tight, and our army can attack the city now." The subordinate beside Tie Niu looked at the east gate of the city and said loudly.

Tie Niu smiled slightly, looked at the generals beside him, and said meaningfully: "The Shu army is not tightly defended, not because the troops in the city are insufficient, but because they don't plan to defend at all. ”

"I don't plan to defend, what the general means is that the Shu army has plans to surrender, so why don't you open the city gate and come out and surrender obediently?" The general wondered.

"Haha! They are waiting for news, and only when the Lord agrees to their surrender and gives them better treatment, will they open the gates of the city with confidence and come out to surrender. Iron Bull analyzed softly.

"Oh, I see." The general nodded, looking sideways behind him.

"General, look, the Shu soldier we met just now who delivered the letter, he came back alone, we can ask about the situation." Seeing Li Fu's henchmen coming on horseback, the general hurriedly said.

Tie Niu didn't answer, turned his horse's head and walked towards Li Fu's henchmen.

"Why did you come back alone, the general's personal soldiers?" Tie Niu met Li Fu's henchman and asked first.

Li Fu's henchmen hurriedly clenched his fists on the horse and explained: "The general's personal soldiers did not come back with the villain, the general should not be in a hurry to attack the city, wait for the villain to return to the city, explain the situation to the main general, and must give the general an explanation." ”

Tie Niu rode around Li Fu's henchmen and said softly, "You go!" ”

"Yes, General." Li Fu's henchmen slammed the horse's belly and rode towards the east gate of the city.

"General, just let him go." The general said softly.

Tie Niu looked at Li Fu's henchmen who were rushing towards the east gate of the city, and said softly: "Looking at his panicked appearance, it seems that there is something urgent, let's wait and see what happens!" ”

Li Fu, who was standing on the tower of the east gate of the city, saw that the Jin army had stopped advancing, and he was a little relieved, and Li Liang beside him was also greatly relieved.

"General, our army has won a great victory, our army has won a great victory." Just when Li Fu was just breathing a sigh of relief, a personal soldier sent by Zhuge Qi told Li Fu and Li Liang the news of the victory of Luofengpo.

"What, our army has won a great victory, what's going on." Li Fu was so frightened that his legs were weak, and Li Liang was also shocked.

"General, our army set up an ambush in Luofengpo, and the rebel general Li Yi led thousands of men and horses into the encirclement, and was shot dead by our army, and the rest of the men and horses fled in a rout." The creep replied truthfully.

When Li Fu heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly said to himself: "It's over, it's over, it's all over, the Jin army must be here to ask the guilt." ”

"General, there is a horse rushing this way, and it has already reached the city." The soldiers who were guarding the gate reported to Li Fu's henchmen under the city.

Seeing that his henchmen had finally returned, Li Fu hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put the hanging basket, pull it up, and waved his hand to send away the personal soldiers sent by Zhuge Qi.

"How's it going, why did it take so long to come back?" As soon as his henchman rose to the top of the city, Li Fu couldn't wait to ask.

When the henchman saw Li Fu, he quickly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "General, it's all the villain's fault, the villain didn't see the road clearly, so that the horse lost his front hoof, delayed the delivery of the letter, and when the villain delivered the letter, the Jin army was already in ambush in Luofengpo, according to the soldiers who fled back, in Luofengpo, they lost at least 2,000 men and horses!" ”

"Ahh Lost 2,000 men and horses, so many, what is the attitude of the Jin army commander? He's just putting you back. Li Fu hurriedly asked.

The henchman didn't know how to answer, lowered his head and swallowed, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Li Fu said loudly: "But it's okay to say, don't swallow it." ”

"The chief general of the Jin army was furious, saying that the general was cheating, and asked the general to wash his neck and prepare to be stabbed." The henchman replied truthfully.

"What, let Ben wash his neck and prepare to be knifed, it's over, it's completely over." Li Fu anxiously paced anxiously on the city gate.

"General, the Jin army has already arrived in the city, what should we do?" Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Liang hurriedly asked Li Fu to take an idea.

Li Fu stomped his feet and reprimanded loudly: "This hateful Zhuge Qi, he made it clear that we can't surrender, hateful, really hateful." ”

"General, there are 8,000 Jin troops outside the city, the villain can see it very clearly, they are all elite soldiers, and they have prepared a lot of siege equipment, within a few hours, they can be assembled, our army will defend to the death, and there will be heavy casualties!" Please try your best to explain it to the Jin army, so as not to be ruined. The henchman said hurriedly.

Li Fu frowned, nodded and said, "Prepare a pen and paper, and the general will write a new letter to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the chief general of the Jin army." ”

"Yes, the villain will go and get it." When the henchmen heard the order, they hurriedly rushed to the city.

"General, what about the Jin army in front of you, they may attack the city at any time!" Li Liang asked.

When Li Fu heard this, he looked at a junior colonel beside him and ordered: "You immediately take a hanging basket to the Jin army camp three hundred steps away, explain it to them, tell them that our army is sincere and obedient, and let them not rush to attack the city." ”

"Yes, General." When the school heard the order, he fell under the city in a hanging basket.

The colonel was ordered to arrive at the location where the Iron Bull Legion was stationed, and explained the accident at Luofengpo to Tie Niu and the generals of the Jin army, and apologized repeatedly, asking Tie Niu not to attack the city, and said that he would soon send an envoy again with a new letter of surrender to Hua'an to surrender.

Seeing the sincerity of the junior colonel of the Shu army, Tie Niu carefully analyzed it, and felt that what he said should not be a lie, besides, there are still thousands of Shu troops in the city, and if he really attacks the city, the troops under his command will definitely suffer a lot of casualties.

Therefore, Tie Niu immediately agreed, and sent one of his generals to the rear camp with a letter, to explain the situation to Hua'an, and persuade Hua'an to accept Li Fu's surrender.

Li Fu, who was on the wall of the east gate of the city, quickly wrote a new letter of surrender and sent this henchman to deliver the letter again.

Li Fu's henchmen packed the letters, sat down in a hanging basket to the city, and rode their horses to the fork in the road where Hua'an was, when passing through the location of the Tie Niu army, Tie Niu still sent ten personal soldiers to protect him from the side to prevent accidents, and at the same time, he could also monitor Li Fu's henchmen very well.

On the rugged path leading to the west gate of the city, Thunderstorm led two thousand cavalry and was walking slowly, at this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the trees around the path were dense, and it seemed even darker.

"General, there's an ambush in the bushes ahead." A subordinate general shouted a warning about thunderstorms.

As soon as the thunderstorm reined in the horse, in the dense forest ahead, there was indeed the sound of feet stepping on tree branches, the sound was relatively loud, and it was obvious that there was a considerable number of people and horses hidden inside.

Thunderstorm looked at the surrounding environment and felt that this place was not suitable for ambush, so he looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered, "You guys go over and have a look." ”

"Yes, General." Hearing the order, several pro-soldiers jumped off their horses and quietly walked towards the dense forest on the right side of the front. (To be continued......)
