Since the victory at Mianzhu, things have developed as smoothly as Ji Shu imagined. Liu Zhang was not a tough and courageous king. Seeing that the situation was over, he decisively surrendered to Kaicheng.哧
"Report, the King of Shu has surrendered to Dachu, and the Yulin Army has entered Chengdu City."
"Li Hui has opened the city to surrender after receiving the order from the King of Shu, and General Huang Zhong is taking over Jiangzhou City."
"Zhang Song went outside the camp to ask for an audience with the King of Shu."
After several days of waiting, the good news from Chengdu spread all the way to Yongan.
OK OK!
Ji Shu walked out of the tent excitedly and walked all the way outside the camp to meet Zhang Song.
"Thank you for your hard work, Ziqiao! The army is simple, but now that you, a great hero, have arrived, I have to prepare a banquet for you to wash your hands of the dust."
Ha ha.
Zhang Song also laughed. He and Ji Shu had only met a few times, but for some reason Ji Shu always treated him very seriously. Now that the King of Shu has surrendered, the two of them can be regarded as ministers of the same court, and they can't help but feel closer to each other.
"Brother Ziyuan is ridiculous. It's all thanks to the soldiers of the Chu army who fought bravely to kill the enemy. How dare I take the credit? It's enough to ask you for a glass of water and wine!"
It's the scholar's self-effacing words again. Ji Shu didn't hate being humble to each other before, but after staying in the army for a long time, he prefers to be straight-tempered.
He held Zhang Song's hand and said as he walked inside.
"Brother Ziqiao is too modest. You and I should treat each other sincerely and don't talk about these Confucian scholars. How can I mistreat you, a hero? After returning to Jianye, the eldest brother will give you another reward. Speaking of which, since Liu Zhang surrendered to Chu The country is here, why don’t you send carrier pigeons to report the news?”
Zhang Song was stunned for a moment and said.哧
"Perhaps General Wei Yan wants to surprise the military advisor."
Ji Shu shook his head and sneered.
"Come on, the editor didn't put so much thought into it. It was either Lu Xun or those two brats Han Zong who came up with the idea."
"Oh, those two young generals are Brother Ziyuan's disciples! Hahaha!"
"Have a laugh, please."
The two walked into the military camp talking and laughing.
······哓
Yong'an City.
After cleaning up the dust for Zhang Song, everyone came to the city.
According to Ji Shu's intention, he still wanted the accompanying eunuchs to go into the city to read Liu Zhang's decree, but Zhang Song insisted on going to the city.
Zhang Ren and Li Hui are somewhat different. Zhang Ren is very stubborn and a die-hard loyalist. It is really uncertain whether Zhang Song will be in danger if he goes there.
"Zi Qiao really don't think about it anymore?"
"Zi Yuan, stop trying to persuade me. Zhang Ren is brave and resourceful. He is actually the most powerful general in Sichuan. It is worth taking some risks for the king. If others go to see Zhang Ren, he will only fight to the end. If I go to see Zhang Ren, there may be three reasons." The extension will persuade him to surrender."
Zhang Song shook his head.哧
In his opinion, even if Liu Zhang tried to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Ren would kill himself and force his men to surrender. The good thing about Zhang Ren is that he is loyal, and the bad thing about Zhang Ren is that he is loyal.
"Thousands of armies are easy to come by, but one general is hard to find. Zhang Ren is enough to frighten an entire region of Chu. For the sake of the country, Songdang will try his best to win over this person. Moreover, Liu Zhang has surrendered, so the chance of Zhang Ren killing me is not high."
Zhao Yun, who was walking beside him, also cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
"Excuse me, sir. Regardless of success or failure, please take care of it."
"General Zhao Yun, you're welcome. Please wait for good news."
Zhang Song touched his sparse beard and smiled. After saying that, he mounted his horse and came to the foot of Yong'an City alone, sat on the hanging basket hanging from the top of the city, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the General's Mansion in Yong'an City, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan sat together waiting for Zhang Song.哧
Because of the long-term siege and blockade by the Chu army, they only knew that half a month ago, a Chu army got behind Yong'an and captured Linjiang in the direction of Jiangzhou. However, since they left the city for a night attack, their losses were also not small. It's really hard to take into account.
Moreover, there were even voices in the city saying that it was precisely because the Chu army intercepted Linjiang that the king failed to send reinforcements to support Yong'an. As long as they continued to hold back the Chu army, the reinforcements would break through Linjiang sooner or later. It has to be said that this became a life-saving straw for Zhang Ren to appease the disappointment among the army.
But today, Zhang Song passed through the Chu army's formation and came to the city, which obviously indicates what happened.
Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were sitting in the living room, their expressions somewhat worried. There were wine glasses in the living room, but there was no wine in the jug.
The soldiers brought Zhang Song here from the top of the city.
"I've met the General and General Yan Yan."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two soldiers at the door grabbed Zhang Song from the left and right. The soldiers leading the way began to search Zhang Song, and only found a volume of edict and presented it to Zhang Ren.哧
Zhang Song smiled helplessly and did not resist.
"What are you doing, General? Even if you don't search you, I will still take it out."
Zhang Ren sneered a few times and said.
"Oh, what is this? Zhang Ziqiao, you won't tell me that the king sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Chu army, right? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? The Chu army will never withdraw until they capture Yong'an!"
"Tell me! When did you surrender to the Chu people?"
The first thing Zhang Ren suspected was that Zhang Song had betrayed Shu. If the defeat in the previous battle only aroused his suspicion, then the Chu army quietly went around behind Yong'an and captured Linjiang. He was certain that someone had provided intelligence to the Chu army.
But Zhang Song didn't panic, he said with a chuckle.哧
"Haha, does the general think that I am here to help the Chu people deceive the city? Zhang Ren, then why don't you dare to open the king's decree and take a look?"
Zhang Ren looked coldly and opened the edict in his hand. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, he would never have guessed this outcome.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
Zhang Ren was so angry that he threw out the edict of Liu Zhang's surrender to Chu with his trembling hands.
"Ji Shu's 20,000-strong army outside the city is still confronting me, but a few thousand soldiers and horses ran over! How could this happen?"
"Yong'an City has not yet fallen. Tell me, how could Chengdu fall into the hands of the Chu people?"
"You lied to me! You lied to me!"
Zhang Ren rushed to the front, harshly lifted Zhang Song's lapel, and brought his face in front of him.
Yan Yan picked up the edict on the ground in horror and checked it, but Zhang Song just said to Zhang Ren coldly.
"General, is the King of Shu's seal in the edict fake?"
