Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang and Yang Ling had fought countless times, but today was the first official meeting between the two.
Looking at the condescending and extraordinary Yang Ling, Zhuge Liang had inexplicable complex emotions in his heart.
Fa Zheng on the side was also filled with bitterness.
In the first half of his life, he had no talent and was unknown. It was not until he met Liu Bei that he became famous.
It's a pity that before he could assist Liu Bei and achieve anything, he encountered Yang Ling leading an army to conquer.
Fa Zheng's abilities were so vulnerable in the face of Yang Ling's genius and Wei's powerful national power!
The two of them calmed down and said in unison,
"Meet His Highness King Qi!"
"You gentlemen, you're welcome. Please sit down."
Although Yang Ling was the winner, he was not arrogant. Instead, he smiled broadly and asked Zhuge Liang and Fazheng to sit down.
After a few people exchanged pleasantries, they discussed the matter of surrender.
"You can tell Yizhou Mu when you go back. As long as he is willing to surrender, I will guarantee the safety of everyone in Chengdu."
Although Liu Bei claimed to be emperor, the Wei State did not recognize it, so Yang Ling still referred to Liu Bei's previous official position as Yizhou Mu.
"In addition, the guild meeting will report to His Majesty to canonize Yizhou Mu."
"All his treatment is the same as Shanyang Gong."
"As long as he remains loyal to the Wei Dynasty in the future, the Wei Dynasty will ensure that his lineage will be passed down forever."
After Liu Xie ascended the Zen throne, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Yuan all treated him with great courtesy.
He has extremely high autonomy in the Shanyang Principality.
In addition to not being able to raise soldiers, he could also offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Liu family of the Han Dynasty. All the etiquette was the same as when he was emperor.
It can be seen that the treatment offered by Yang Ling to Liu Bei is still very good.
Zhuge Liang and Fazheng looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"His Royal Highness King Qi is so generous, we have nothing to say."
"That's good. Please go back and advise Yizhou Mu to surrender as soon as possible."
Yang Ling smiled.
The two of them no longer hesitated, stood up, bowed and left.
After leaving the Wei army camp, Zhuge Liang and Fazheng returned to Chengdu without stopping and reported their meeting with Yang Ling to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei heard this, his face was calm, and he could not see the joy, anger, sorrow, or joy. He just nodded slightly and said,
"If that's the case, then let's... descend tomorrow!"
Although they had expected it, when they heard these words coming from Liu Bei's mouth, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Chen Dao and others were filled with unwillingness and sadness!
…
Early the next morning.
The gates of Chengdu slowly opened, and all the Shu Han soldiers put down their weapons and took off their armor.
Led by Shu Han general Zhang Fei, they lined up and marched out of the city.
Pang Tong commanded the soldiers to collect these surrendered soldiers first.
Then Deng Ai, Jiang Wei, and Guanqiu Jian each led a group of Wei troops into the city to clear the way for Yang Ling first to ensure that there was no danger in the city.
After everything was ready, Yang Ling took a four-wheeled vehicle and slowly entered the city with his subordinates.
Knowing the news that Yang Ling had entered the city, the streets and alleys of Chengdu were filled with people.
People are rushing to see Yang Ling's grace!
Not long after, Yang Ling arrived outside Liu Bei's palace in a four-wheeled vehicle.
In addition to Deng Ai, Jiang Wei and others, there were also Huang Quan, Ma Zhong, Qiao Zhou and other Yizhou nobles waiting here.
After Liu Bei decided to surrender, he naturally stopped embarrassing them and released them all.
"Let us pay homage to His Highness King Qi!"
"You don't have to be polite, please get up quickly!"
Yang Ling said with a smile,
"Without you, how could I have entered Chengdu?"
You must know that the Shu Han court collapsed and the people were in chaos, but they had nothing to do with Huang Quan and others.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is too polite. The main reason is that His Highness the King of Qi is strategizing and the imperial army is strong."
Huang Quan said modestly.
They talked for a while, but Yang Ling frowned slightly.
According to the previous agreement, Liu Bei should leave the palace at this time and come to greet Yang Ling and his party.
Why haven't you seen him come out after so long?
When Yang Ling was confused, he saw Zhuge Liang and Fazheng slowly walking out, looking extremely sad.
"Meet...meet His Highness King Qi..."
"What's wrong with you three?"
Yang Ling said strangely.
"Yizhou Mu... committed suicide by taking poison!"
Fazheng burst into tears and cried.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.
No one thought that Liu Bei would choose to commit suicide by taking poison at the last moment!
"Brother!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei shouted and rushed towards the palace with sad faces!
Yang Ling stood there silently, feeling quite unhappy.
Thinking back to the honeymoon period when he first went to Pingyuan County and had a great chat with Liu Bei, he felt lost for a moment.
Even if Liu Bei is false benevolence and righteousness, if he can practice false benevolence and righteousness throughout his life, that is true benevolence and righteousness!
"Before Yizhou Mu passed away, I asked you to tell His Highness the King of Qi. He hoped that... His Highness the King of Qi would not forget his promise."
Zhuge Liang said feebly.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Kong Ming, I will never forget it!"
Yang Ling nodded solemnly, and then noticed something was wrong with Zhuge Liang and Fazheng's demeanor.
His expression changed,
"Could it be that you two have also taken poison?"
"That's right... My master is dead, how can Liang dare to live alone?"
Zhuge Liang laughed sadly.
Fazheng on the side also had a face as white as a sheet of paper and an air of energy like a gossamer.
"Before I die, I hope His Highness Prince Qi can clear up my doubts!"
"Mr. Kong Ming, please speak directly."
"I have never understood how His Highness Prince Qi can be so resourceful and talented despite his unknown origins?"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were full of doubts.
He, Fazheng, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Pang Tong and others all came from famous families. They had read poetry and books since childhood, and they had extraordinary talents.
Yang Ling's origin is unknown, but he is better than all of them and can be called the best person in the world.
How can this not make Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others confused?
Yang Ling thought for a while, waved to the people on the side and said,
"You all get out of the way!"
"Here!"
Deng Ai and others took the order and took a hundred steps back, leaving room for Yang Ling, Zhuge Liang, and Fazheng to talk.
"Since Kong Ming asked the question sincerely, I will tell you with great compassion."
Yang Ling paused and then whispered,
"To tell you the truth, I came from the next life!"
When Zhuge Liang and Fazheng heard this, their eyes widened instantly.
"The future generations traveled through time? What do you mean by this?"
"To put it simply, the world I originally lived in was one thousand eight hundred years later..."
Yang Ling roughly told the two of them the original history.
After hearing this, the two of them had expressions of disbelief on their faces!
If Yang Ling hadn't looked sincere and both of them were dying, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death!
"I see, no wonder we are no match for His Highness King Qi!"
Zhuge Liang was relieved.
