Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's hands and feet immediately became cold, and he stood there dumbfounded.
All the officials of Shu Han were also stunned.
For them, Meng Huo's barbarians are their last hope!
However, now even this last hope has been completely shattered!
Who else in the world can come to rescue them?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Ma Su called softly a few more times.
Only then did Liu Bei come to his senses.
"Mr. Youchang, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, before leaving, Yang...well, His Highness King Qi asked me to tell His Majesty a few words. As long as Your Majesty is willing to surrender the city, he will never make things difficult for you!"
"There is no way to get His Majesty to surrender!"
Zhang Fei on the side opened his eyes angrily and shouted sternly.
But except for him, everyone, including Liu Bei, remained silent.
"That's all, you all should step back first!"
Liu Bei waved his hand weakly.
Everyone looked at each other and resigned.
Just when Zhang Fei was about to leave, Liu Bei suddenly stopped him.
"General, please stay!"
Zhang Fei was slightly startled, but he still stopped honestly.
"Third brother, how long have we been sworn brothers?"
Liu Bei put down his imperial airs and suddenly asked softly.
"It's been almost forty or fifty years, right?"
Zhang Fei scratched his head.
"It's been so many years, but speaking of which, we haven't seen Yun Chang for a long time."
Liu Bei sighed and changed the topic.
"You miss him?"
"Of course I miss my second brother!"
"If you really miss him, why don't we go see him!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said,
"Brother, you...you want to surrender?"
"good!"
Liu Bei sighed and said extremely lonely,
"There is no point in continuing to fight against Wei!"
"Brother, you are of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. How can you surrender to the thieves who are fleeing the country? Besides, you still surrender to Yang Ling."
Zhang Fei stood up and tried to persuade him,
"There are still nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in the city, why don't I lead the army to break out and give my brother a chance!"
"Third brother, don't be joking!"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Now that Chengdu is completely surrounded, the Wei army has dug trenches around the city. How easy is it to break out of the siege?
Even if he breaks out, where can Liu Bei go?
All thirteen states in the world have fallen into the hands of Wei!
Is it possible that Liu Bei should be allowed to flee to the wilderness to the south to keep company with the barbarians?
Moreover, Liu Bei is already in his sixties, and the ambitions he had back then no longer exist!
Seeing Liu Bei's disappointed look, Zhang Fei's eyes turned red for a moment.
"Brother, it's all my fault!"
"If I hadn't been impulsive back then, Yang Ling wouldn't have been forced to leave, and we wouldn't be where we are now..."
"Why don't I leave the city right now, and I'll kowtow to him to apologize and beg him to retreat!"
Liu Bei quickly stopped him and said helplessly,
"Third brother is a little naive. If it were us, would you be willing?"
Zhang Fei was speechless.
Liu Bei sighed again, and the two brothers looked at each other speechlessly!
At this moment, I saw Chen Dao walking in quickly.
"His Majesty!"
"What's the matter?"
Liu Bei tried his best to look dignified and asked in a low voice.
"General Yun Chang... is asking for a meeting outside the city!"
Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were both stunned.
"Quick...invite him in quickly!"
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came into the palace. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei looked up and saw Guan Yu striding into the palace.
Although his eyes are still firm and his figure is still burly, his hair and beard have turned white!
Following Guan Yu were not only Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Shao, but also Guan Yinping and Zhang Xingcai holding children in their arms!
"Big brother, third brother!"
"Second brother!"
After several years, the three brothers met again. The scene was so touching that no need to describe it in detail!
After they finished their greetings, Zhang Fei's eyes fell on his daughter Zhang Xingcai beside him.
Since Zhang Xingcai failed to assassinate Yang Ling and was captured instead, father and daughter have not seen each other again for so many years.
Now that we meet again, Zhang Xingcai has lost her youthfulness as a girl.
She held the boy in one hand and held the girl who was babbling in her arms.
"Screen..."
Zhang Fei's eyes were a little moist.
"Father, my daughter is unfilial!"
Zhang Xingcai said that he was about to kneel down towards Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei quickly grabbed her and said with some self-reproach,
"It's all bad as a father!"
"No, my daughter was too stubborn back then..."
Zhang Xingcai paused and said quickly,
"Father, these are your grandson and granddaughter..."
Zhang Fei carefully took the granddaughter from Zhang Xingcai's arms, teased him a few times, then stretched out his hand to pinch his grandson's face. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say, but he kept repeating,
"Okay, okay, okay..."
"Chen is here!"
Liu Bei called out and ordered,
"I will order a banquet immediately. I will become sworn brothers with you two. We will not return until we are drunk!"
"Here!"
Chen Dao quickly took the order and left.
It didn't take long for the eunuchs in the palace to serve wine and food.
Liu Bei invited everyone to sit down and then raised their glasses together.
However, as soon as he finished his glass of wine, Guan Yu put down his glass and said softly,
"Brother, I am under the orders of His Highness King Qi..."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei already understood what he meant.
"Second brother is working as a lobbyist for Yang...well, His Highness King Qi. Have you forgotten our brotherhood?"
Zhang Fei originally wanted to call Yang Ling Yang Thief, but then he thought about it and Yang Ling could be regarded as his son-in-law.
It is really unjustifiable to scold Yang Ling in front of Zhang Xingcai!
"If I had forgotten the brotherhood between us, why would I be here as a lobbyist today?"
Guan Yu said in a deep voice,
"Nowadays, I don't need to tell you the general trend of the world. Brother, you also know it very well."
"If the confrontation continues, apart from the increase in casualties, what's the objection?"
"Before I came, His Highness Prince Qi repeatedly promised that he would never embarrass my elder brother!"
Liu Bei didn't answer him and was silent for a long time. Then he picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and then said seriously,
"Since the second brother has spoken, how can the elder brother refuse?"
"No matter, I promise you that!"
After hearing this, everyone present looked happy!
"Brother can look away, but it's the most appropriate thing!"
"Come on, let me toast to you brother!"
Guan Yu also breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the wine glass.
If Liu Bei would rather die than surrender, it would be difficult for him to live in the middle!
Liu Bei raised his glass again and drank it all in one gulp.
But no one noticed that a sad look flashed in his eyes.
…
After Liu Bei decided to surrender to the Wei army, everyone in Chengdu, from top to bottom, breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knows that if Liu Bei insists on fighting to the death, it will only increase casualties in vain!
On the second day after Guan Yu and his entourage entered the city to meet with Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng, on Liu Bei's order, left the city to meet with Yang Ling to discuss surrender.
