Nan Ye listened to Liu Bi in the city and smiled slightly. He knew that this was what Liu Bi said as agreed in the letter, so he answered: "General Liu's loyalty is admirable. It's just that your son-in-law's life is in your thoughts, and I don't know if the death of the lord's son was done by a loyal minister? ”

Liu Xun listened to what Nan Ye said and secretly applauded, he felt that the national teacher of Nan Ye who captured him was much stronger than Liu Bi, who would rather die than unyielding in the city. At least Nan Ye still cares about his own life.

Liu Bi also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, because Nan Ye was still doing what he wanted, so he pretended to be distressed and said, "What the national teacher said is not bad. It is disloyal to surrender for the general, and it is also disloyal to kill the son, and it is difficult to be a loyal minister! I want to be a loyal minister, and I also want to protect my son-in-law, and now I have a proposal for one or two, and I ask the national teacher to listen to me. ”

Nan Ye said: "General Liu, please speak!" ”

Liu Bi said: "I can lead the troops out of the city and sacrifice the city in exchange for the life of my son-in-law, but I can't surrender to the national teacher." I don't know what that means? This is the method that Liu Xuan came up with after thinking hard all night, he estimated that if he could exchange a city for Liu Xun, he would not blame Liu Zhang too much when he returned to Chengdu.

Nan Ye had read what Liu Bi said in his letter and knew that he had the intention of dedicating the city. At this time, Liu Bi spoke, and Nan Ye pretended to think for a while and said, "It's okay!" I will be faithful to you. When you lead your troops out of the city, I will release them. ”

Liu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, feeling that he had just walked on the ghost gate, and he was covered in cold sweat. At this time, when he looked at Liu Bi again, he felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye than just now.

Liu Bi saw that Nan Ye agreed to his conditions, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, but he didn't dare to be careless, for fear that Nan Ye would win the city but not let him go. So he said to Nan Ye: "The national teacher is famous for his faithfulness, and the national teacher will not regret it after I dedicate the city, right?" ”

Nan Ye said loudly: "General Liu, don't worry! As long as the general dedicates the city, I will not only release Gongzi, but also the two generals who captured it together. Here there are two sergeants and soldiers as evidence, and they will never break their promises. ”

Although Liu Ye is an enemy of Nan Ye, he still trusts Nan Ye as a person. At this time, seeing Nan Ye swearing in front of many soldiers, he ordered the four gates to be opened, and led the army and horses to retreat from the north gate.

Nan Ye saw Liu Xuan's soldiers and horses leaving the city, so he first ordered the horses to enter the city to inspect for a week, and after confirming that there were no traps in the city, he led the army into the city to occupy the city.

After Liu Xun left the city, he led his troops to the north, thinking that Liu Xun might come from behind, Liu Xun did not dare to go too fast. While he was marching, suddenly both sides of the road shouted to kill Zhentian, Zhao Yun on the left, Yang Xiong on the right, and each led the soldiers and horses to kill. Liu Xuan secretly said that it was not good, so he turned his horse and left, and all the soldiers were also unprepared, either kneeling on the ground and asking for surrender, or running away in all directions.

Before Liu Bi could run away, there were ambushes on both sides of the road, and Huang Zhong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Bai led 10,000 invulnerable vine armor troops to roar. Liu Bi wanted to run again, but was shot by Huang Zhong with an arrow on his horse, and as a result, he fell off his horse and was captured by the ghost pawn. Tens of thousands of Sichuan troops almost all surrendered.

It turned out that Nan Ye and Guo Jia were worried that Liu Xuan would use a plan, so they first pretended to leave the city to deceive Liu Xun, and then cooperated with the ambush soldiers in the city to fight back. Therefore, he simply led the foot soldiers into the city, and ordered Zhao Yun and other five generals to lead the ghost pawns, trap camps, vine armor troops and 10,000 cavalry pawns to ambush Liu Xuan halfway. Regardless of whether Liu Bi had a plan or not, Nan Ye did not plan to let him lead tens of thousands of horses back to Chengdu and then oppose him.

Liu Bi was about to repent of death when he was escorted to Nan Ye, and he was not ignorant of the truth that soldiers are not tired of cheating, but he didn't expect that Nan Ye, who is famous for his kindness, would be treacherous, and when he saw Nan Ye, he said angrily: "Nan Ye villain, why don't you keep your word and ambush me?" ”

Nan Ye smiled: "I don't know where I don't keep my word? ”

Liu Bi said: "I clearly agreed in the letter, I will let go of the city, and you will release the son." ”

Nan Ye nodded and said, "I have indeed released Liu Xun, even Wu Yi and Wu Lan have also been released." But when did I promise to let you go? Since General Liu doesn't want to surrender to me, why can't I design to capture you? ”

Liu Ye was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, Nan Ye really didn't say that he would let him go, but in Liu Ye's consciousness, Nan Ye agreed to exchange the city for Liu Xun, which was equivalent to an armistice and peace. Unexpectedly, Nan Ye's ultimate goal was that the city and the people were unwilling to let go.

Guo Jia saw Liu Bi's ugly face on the side, so he said roundly: "General Liu said in his letter that he intends to return to the national teacher, but he is worried about the small family in Chengdu. Now that General Liu is forced to be captured, there is no need to worry about his family, I believe that Liu Xungongzi will also exonerate the general when he returns to Chengdu. Please also ask the general to stay in the camp for a few days with peace of mind, and after the national division has pacified Chengdu, the general will be reunited with his family. After that, he untied Liu Xuan's rope.

What else can Liu Bi say at this time? I had to honestly go to be with Ling Bao and Deng Xian. When Ling Bao and Deng Xian saw Liu Xuan, they felt cold in their hearts. In the past few days, the generals in the city have been captured in turn to the Nanye camp to be their companions, and Ling Bao and Deng Xian knew that the city could not be defended. As soon as Liu Bi arrived today, the generals in the city were captured by Nan Ye, and even Ling Bao and Deng Xian had to admire Nan Ye's methods.

Liu Xun, Wu Yi, and Wu Lan were indeed released by Nan Ye, and the reason why Nan Ye was so generous and the three of them were released together was because he had tested Wu Yi and Wu Lan with his control skills, and the two of them were indeed sincere. Therefore, Nan Ye put back the second general into Chengdu as an internal response.

The three of them gathered more than 1,000 defeated troops along the way, and only then did they learn that Liu Bi had been captured by Nan Ye. Liu Xun was afraid that Nan Ye would regret and come to capture him again, so he led the second general back to Chengdu quickly, and met Liu Zhang to tell him about the past.

Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard that Qianwei had been lost. The land of Yizhou was in the southwest corner of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Zhang's defense focus was never in the southwest direction, mainly to defend Zhang Lu in the north and Liu Biao in the east. If Zhang Lu entered Yizhou from the north to attack Chengdu, he would have to pass through Jiameng Pass, Baishui Pass, Fucheng, Mianzhu, and Ruocheng to reach Chengdu. If Liu Biao came from the east, he had to pass through several passes in Baidi, Padang, Brazil, and Deyang to approach Chengdu. This time, Nanye first won the four counties of Nanzhong, and then crossed the river to the north, and Liu Zhang only had Qianwei to defend. Qianwei lost and there was no danger, Nan Ye immediately came to the city, how could Liu Zhang not be in a hurry? So he hurriedly convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

Zheng Du offered advice: "Although Nanye has attacked the city and captured the soldiers, his soldiers are coming too fast, and I am afraid that they will not be able to make the soldiers join and the people will be obedient. If Nan Ye wants the soldiers to be attached, he must first fill his grain and grass, and if he wants the people to return, he must not rob his grain. Now Nanye has gone deep into Shudi, and it is inconvenient to transport grain and grass. Why didn't the lord relocate the people near Chengdu, burn all the wild vegetables and beasts, and then close the city with deep ditches and high bases. Nan Ye asks for battle, but the lord does not allow it. His soldiers have no food and grass for a long time, but they will be defeated for only a hundred days. Our army can take advantage of the false attack, and Nanye can capture it. ”

Zhang Song was very powerful when he heard this plan to clear the wilderness under the tent, so he said: "What Gong Zheng said is wrong! There is a way to resist the enemy to reassure the people, and there has never been a saying that the people are moved to prepare for the enemy. Nan Ye still knows that he does not take the people's food and feeds the people's hearts, and the lord moves the people and causes them to lose their homes, so how can he win without losing the foundation of the people's hearts? This is not a preservation measure. ”

Liu Zhang heard that what the two of them said made sense, so he hesitated, and asked the others: "What other plans do you have?" ”

Dong He, the account underneath, said: "Why doesn't the lord borrow troops from Hanzhong? ”

Liu Zhang thought that he had heard it wrong, and said in surprise: "Youzai is talking about Zhang Lu in Hanzhong?" ”

Dong He arched his hand and said: "Exactly! ”

Liu Zhangqi said: "Zhang Lu and I have a feud, and now we are still fighting, and Anken sent troops to rescue him?" ”

Dong He said: "Although Zhang Lu has a grudge against me, the Nanye Army is already on the way to Chengdu. The situation is critical, and if the lips are dead, the teeth are cold, if you say it with interests, you will definitely be willing to obey. If Zhang Lu comes, Pang Xi and Zhang Ren can also lead the troops back, and Chengdu will be safe. ”

As soon as Zhang Song heard that this was also a clever plan, he motioned to Fa Zheng to stop it. But before Fa Zheng could speak, Wang Lei said, "No! Cannot! Borrowing Zhang Lu's troops for the enemy Nanye, if you send tigers to chase wolves, you can retreat Nanye, and Yizhou is not owned by the lord. ”

Liu Zhang didn't want to borrow troops from Zhang Lu, so he gave up when Wang Ti stopped him. At this time, Huang Quan offered another suggestion: "If the lord is unwilling to borrow troops from Zhang Lu, he can temporarily make peace with Zhang Lu and ask several generals to come back to help." I heard that Yang Song, Zhang Lu's adviser, was extremely greedy for bribes. The lord can send people to join Hanzhong from the small road, first use gold and silver to tie Yang Song, and then order him to enter the book and Zhang Lu to persuade Zhang Lu to withdraw from the army. ”

As soon as Zhang Song heard that Huang Quan's strategy was also extremely unfavorable to Nan Ye, he wanted to speak out to stop him, but he felt that someone was dragging him beside him. Zhang Song turned his head sideways and saw that it was Fa Zheng, only to see Fa Zheng shaking his head slightly, signaling him to be calm and not to be impatient. Zhang Song knew that Fa Zheng was very intelligent, so he didn't talk to him first, wanting to see how Liu Zhang decided.

Liu Zhang listened to Huang Quan's plan and thought it was feasible, and no one stopped him this time, so Liu Zhang asked, "I don't know who is willing to talk about Yang Song for the messenger?" ”

Fa Zheng stabbed Zhang Song at this time, Zhang Song understood at that time, and said: "That Yang Song has the same name as me, this matter should be my go, and I ask the lord to agree." ”

Zhang Lu was Liu Zhang's old enemy, and in order to make it somewhat dangerous to go to Hanzhong, Liu Zhang was very happy to see that Zhang Song was willing to go, so he sent Zhang Song to meet Yang Song with a large number of gold beads. He also ordered the rest of the generals to defend the city, not to defeat the enemy, but to hold on until a few generals led the troops back.

After Zhang Song descended from His Royal Highness, he asked Fa Zhengdao: "I want to make Liu Jiyu not do this plan, filial piety directly obstructs me, why did you ask me to send an envoy later?" ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "If Ziqiao blocks this plan, it is inevitable that someone will offer him another strategy." Wouldn't it be more convenient now that we are in control of how to do this plan? As long as this plan fails, what is the difference between it and the right person to stop it? Zi Qiao can behave like this......"

Zhang Song couldn't help but smile when he heard Fa Zheng say it: "Filial piety is really a clever plan!" I'll do what I do. "Then go home and pack up and go on an envoy.

It stands to reason that Zhang Song sent Zhang Lu to go north, but after he got the strategy of Fa Zheng and left the city, he went south, and came directly to Nanye's camp to inform Nanye of this plan. Then he said to Nan Ye: "Liu Zhang sent me as an envoy, and I will delay slowly all the way, and the national division can quickly march and strive to capture Chengdu before Zhang Ren and others return to the army." If Chengdu is lost, even if the army returns, it will be completely useless. ”
