On the city wall, the traces left by the war have long been cleaned up. Because the last few hundred defenders surrendered, there were almost no losses in the city except for the areas near the city wall. There was an empty governor's mansion in the city. Hearing that the governor had fled to Chengdu, Wei Yan found a pleasant living room to receive Zhang Song.
Huo Yi walked in front to lead the way, and Zhang Song also walked very gracefully, as if he was walking in his own yard, without feeling a trace of nervousness. Huo Yi had no expression on his face, but there was a bit of a sneer in his heart.
What should a defeated general or a minister seeking peace pretend to be?
Entering the hall, Zhang Song bowed to the person in front of him.
"Zhang Song has met General Wei Yan."
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be polite. Your Majesty has already explained this to me before I set off for the expedition. Sir, please take your seat quickly. Boyan, please give me some tea."
Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wei Yan didn't know the inside story. Since he knew, it was his own people who discussed the matter. Radium
Huo Yi and Lu Xun were both dumbfounded and looked at the two of them blankly. In the end, Lu Xun reacted faster and quickly poured tea after Zhang Song took his seat.
"Excuse me, young general."
Zhang Song looked at Wei Yan and wanted to speak, but hesitated.
Wei Yan said with a rare smile on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. These two are my cronies and will not leak the news. This time, the King of Shu sent you to ask for peace. Do you sincerely surrender, or do you want to delay time?"
When Zhang Song heard this, his face was full of ridicule.
"Haha, what's the use of delaying Liu Zhang's time? The road to Shu is difficult, and the general must be aware of it. Now in the Shu Kingdom, only Yunnan has stationed 20,000 troops in Lingbao, and Jianning has stationed 5,000 troops, which can be mobilized. Even if the message was sent out a few days ago, it would still take a month and a half for the army to arrive in Chengdu."
"Not to mention, the general led his troops deep into Guanghan alone, marched thousands of miles to Guanghan, defeated Liu Xu's 20,000 border troops and the Qin army's 30,000 elite troops, and captured the rebel general Meng Da. Liu Zhang had long been frightened."
Speaking of this, everyone was quite proud, and Lu Xun and Huo Yi couldn't help but straighten their backs.
Wei Yan said even more domineeringly.
"Even if he doesn't surrender, I can still break into Chengdu. I understand that Liu Zhang doesn't have the guts to cheat."
Having said this, Wei Yan looked at Zhang Songdao.
"Speaking of which, our army was able to travel so smoothly in Shu and ambushed the enemy many times. We must also thank Mr. Zhang Song for the map of Shuchuan presented to the king. Wei Yan is a rough man, but he by no means takes all the credit. Let's start with tea here. Let me toast you with a glass of wine, and when I return to Jianye, I will ask the king to discuss your merits and reward me!"
Although Lu Xun and Huo Yi had already guessed that Zhang Song was their spy lurking in the Shu court, they couldn't help but be surprised at this moment, only to realize that the map they had been using was actually written by the person in front of them. Only then did Lu Xun feel that the cup of tea he had just poured was extremely worthwhile. Radium
"General Wei Yan is too polite. Since Zhang is willing to risk his life to serve the king, it is not for glory and wealth. The world has been in chaos for a long time, and people's livelihood has been suffering for a long time. Liu Zhang is just a mountain king who prefers to live in peace. Sun Ce Your Excellency is a hero who looks forward to the world and wants to clarify the world. If the great cause of unifying the world can be achieved as soon as possible, Zhang Songwan will not hesitate to die."
"As you said, sir, you are very righteous."
Although Zhang Song is not good-looking, everyone in the military always values performance. After hearing these words, they all had a good impression of Zhang Song. Wei Yan then asked.
"Since the King of Shu is willing to surrender, sir, what else do you think we need to be careful about? Will there be any accidents?"
Zhang Song closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
If he was still unsure about anything, it was Fa Zheng. But since Zhang Ren was released, everything Fa Zheng said and done was to help him. Even now, Zhang Song still believes in him.
"When the King of Shu was in power, he was ruthless in dealing with rebellions, but he had no ambition to open up new territories and expand his territory. He was a man who cherished his life extremely. I don't think he hid it from the officials in the court and used his own life as bait to ambush and kill him. The courage of the general. The king of Shu sent me as his envoy. All he wants is to keep more glory and wealth."
"When I go back, I will tell the King of Shu that the general promises to express his gratitude to the King of Chu, preserve the Liu family, and grant a hereditary marquis position. After the general enters the city, he will restrain the soldiers, treat the people and the family with leniency, and treat them leniently. If the hearts of Liu Zhang and other aristocratic families are at ease, everything will be safe."
"When the generals successfully take over the defense of Chengdu, the King of Shu can issue imperial edicts to all places to submit to Chu, ordering General Li Hui of Jiangzhou and General Zhang Ren of Yong'an to accept the control of the Chu army, and ordering Lingbao and Huang Quan of Yunnan All the generals need to do is return to Chengdu and wait for the new king's edict. By then, the remaining approximately 50,000 Shu troops will be able to fill Chu's strength, and the battle will be concluded successfully."
This is not difficult.
First draw a big cake to appease Liu Zhang, and wait until Wei Yan takes control of Chengdu and recruits and surrenders the remaining Shu army. When the imperial edict to the King of Chu comes back, it will not be Wei Yan's final say. At that time, Liu Zhang had to accept him even if he didn't accept him.
Treacherous!
Wei Yan looked at Zhang Song and laughed twice.
"This is not difficult. Boyan, you go and get pen and ink. I will write a report to the king right away. Mr. Zhang, you can directly take this thing back to the King of Shu. As long as he is willing to submit to the Chu Kingdom, I can send this report to Jianye after I enter the city."
"So good! So good!"
Zhang Song was also quite satisfied. With this thing in hand, he believed that Liu Zhang could surrender with peace of mind.
Several people worked hard and deliberated for a long time before ending. Huo Yi sent Zhang Song out of the prefect's mansion.
After walking out of the prefect's mansion and getting on the sedan chair back to the city, Zhang Song looked at the report in his hand and murmured in a low voice.
"Liu Jiyu, Liu Jiyu, I'm sorry for you."
In Zhang Song's view, if he could completely control Shu and surrender 50,000 troops, Sun Ce would not be stingy with rewards, and the cake he drew for Liu Zhang would not necessarily become smaller.
To save one's wealth and life and enjoy the glory and wealth is considered lucky for a prince without great ambitions. Radium
