Fu De's words were full of righteous indignation and high-sounding.
Now, almost everyone suggested surrendering, but Fu De stood up. One can imagine what this means to Huang Songyuan.
He immediately became energetic, looked at Fu De, and said sincerely: "Master Fu is worthy of being the most loyal minister. At this time, only you are willing to stand up for me."
"My lord is so complimentary, I feel ashamed to be a subordinate."
Fu De returned solemnly. At the same time, he glanced at the other officials in the palace and said in a contemptuous tone: "They are the ones who suggest the lord to surrender. They just want to save their lives and beg for mercy in front of the Lord Qin."
"If they surrender, they won't suffer much loss, and they may be able to keep their current official positions. Naturally, they want to surrender, but you, my lord, must not surrender, because once this happens, how can the Lord of Qin tolerate it after entering Yizhou? My Lord, the Lord of Sichuan and Shu!"
What he said was in line with Huang Songyuan's psychology. The latter was not unwilling to surrender, but was afraid that Xiao Yuan would kill him after surrendering.
Now after hearing what Fu De said, Huang Songyuan immediately said: "Master Fu's words are reasonable, but there are countermeasures!"
Fu De thought for a while and said: "Now in Yizhou, my lord still has 10,000 guards, and the city of Yizhou has a high defense. If we defend it according to the danger, with 10,000 troops, we will be able to hold on for half a month! And during this period, Xiaguan I also believe that General Chen Tai will be able to break through the Qin army's defense line and return to Yizhou to aid. By then, the Qin army's front line will be stretched and supplies will be insufficient, so they will inevitably retreat!"
What he said was a complete fantasy, but to Huang Songyuan's ears, it was undoubtedly the last straw.
The latter's eyes widened, but before he spoke, Fu De said again: "Although I am not talented, I am still willing to fight to the death! Lead my Shu army and would rather die than take a step back! I will protect my lord from worries!"
"Okay! Okay!" Huang Songyuan was overjoyed, and immediately pointed at Fu De and said: "In this time of crisis, Mr. Fu regardless of his own safety, his loyalty can be represented by the sun and the moon, which is respectable and admirable!"
"But my lord, it seems to me that if the Qin army attacks Yizhou, they will probably attack the two southeastern gates. The east gate. I can go to the front line to direct the battle in person. But at the south gate, I suggest that my lord send General Cui Sheng." Go." Fu De said again.
He said this simply because he wanted to tell Huang Songyuan that the only people he could trust in Shu now were him and Cui Sheng.
When the latter heard this, he immediately agreed, but Cui Sheng suddenly panicked and said quickly: "This, this, my lord, although I am not greedy for life and fear of death, I am afraid that my ability is limited and I have failed the lord's trust. "
In fact, he was scared to death. How could he dare to guard the south gate? He had seen with his own eyes the bravery of the Qin army in Tongguan.
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Huang Songyuan waved his hand. Cui Sheng was his nephew. He naturally agreed with Fu De's words and immediately said: "Just do what Mr. Fu said. Cui Sheng will guard the south gate and Mr. Fu will be in charge. Guard the east gate and wait for Chen Tai's reinforcements."
"As ordered." Fu De heard the words and quickly saluted.
Cui Sheng wanted to say something, but didn't dare, so he couldn't help but secretly swallowed his saliva.
During this meeting, Fu De accused the officials of putting himself on a very high pedestal and acted like a supremely loyal minister. In fact, he just wanted to use Yizhou as a stepping stone to claim credit from Xiao Yuan.
He was very scheming and clever enough. After leaving the meeting place, he immediately wrote a secret letter and sent it to Xiao Yuan.
Now, he is the most trusted by Huang Songyuan, and he is also the person in charge of stationing at the east gate. Isn't it easy to send a secret letter?
Xiao Yuan was just outside Yizhou, and it didn't take long before he received the news.
In the secret letter, Fu De told Xiao Yuan simply and clearly that he had mastered all the defenses at the east gate of Yizhou and could welcome Xiao Yuan into the city at any time. Naturally, he tried his best to claim credit in his words.
He was a typical seller seeking glory, and his expression was disgusting, but Xiao Yuan was naturally happy to see this secret letter come to fruition.
Now Su Yi is setting up an ambush against Chen Tai. The Qin army originally did not plan to attack Yizhou so quickly, but after receiving this secret letter, there is nothing to say.
After a little discussion with Shangguan Wenruo, Xiao Yuan sent another message to Fu De to agree on a time, and on the next night, he began to lead his army to the east gate.
Late at night, there was the sound of armor scraping outside the city gate. There were tens of thousands of troops, and there was great movement.
Not long after, rows of torches lit up, and the Shu troops on top of the city were shocked when they saw this. Someone immediately started shouting:
"Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack! The Qin army is coming——"
As soon as the voice was heard, chaos suddenly broke out in the city. Of course, the ordinary soldiers below did not know the situation. Fu De scolded him in a cold voice: "Why are you panicking!?"
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and looked outside. When he saw the agreed signal, he immediately ran down the city.
The soldiers at the city gate were naturally arranged by Fu De, and they were all his confidants. After coming down, without saying a word, he raised his head slightly and said: "Open the city!"
"Yes!" Someone responded, and then all the people stepped forward, removed the thick door bolt, and slowly opened the tall and heavy city gate.
The sound of teeth squeaking was heard, and Fu De inside the city gate immediately began to ask people to raise their torches and swing them left and right.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but be shocked, waved his hand and said: "Come in!"
Following his order, the Qin army began to advance, and the rumble of footsteps sounded. The Shu army on top of the city who did not know what was going on panicked and shouted: "The city gate is open! The Qin army is coming! Run!" ——”
There was chaos on the city, but it was relatively peaceful at the city gate.
After Xiao Yuan led his army to arrive here, Fu De quickly stepped forward, bent down and held his hands in his hands, saying with a shy smile: "Oh, General Xiao, Fu De, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. You are finally here. Please come into the city."
Is he Fu De?
Xiao Yuan rode his war horse and looked at Fu De for a moment, while his thoughts were changing.
This man betrays his master for glory, is despicable and willing to sell everything for profit. If he makes him an official and continues to keep him, then if Qin is in any danger in the future, wouldn't this man also want to betray his master?
And if you keep him, how can you govern him in the future?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Fu. Without Mr. Fu's help in this battle, I may not be able to enter Yizhou City. "
"Oh! I'm so scared..." Fu De beamed with joy and nodded quickly.
But before he finished speaking, Xiao Yuan had already unsheathed his sword, and with a sudden strike, he struck directly at his neck.
The latter probably would never have thought that Lord Qin was praising him just now, but then immediately killed him, and there was no reaction at all!
Blood sprayed out, Fu De covered his neck and looked at Xiao Yuan in disbelief: "General...general why..."
Before he finished speaking, he died of anger and fell to the ground.
ah! ?
Upon seeing this, Fu De's confidants at the city gate gasped and couldn't help but retreat.
