Chapter 733
Several miles away from the city wall, Guo Huai, Fa Zheng, Jiang Gan and others couldn't help laughing when they saw Liu Zhang and his officials in a embarrassed look in their glasses!
After laughing, Fa Zheng said: "Mr. Jiang, now you can go to the city to surrender. After being scared, Lord Liu Zhang probably was scared of his courage. As long as he could ensure his life, he would raise his hands and agree to surrender!"
After hearing this, Jiang Gan smiled and said, "Then I will go to the city wall now and ask to see Liu Zhang."
Guo Huai said: "Ziyi, you have to be safe."
Jiang Gandao: "Nothing happens."
On the city wall, there were several officials on the city wall who could not hide and were directly penetrated by arrows, losing their lives. The most serious thing was that the civilian officials had been frightened and could not even explain the words, and some were trembling constantly!
Wu Yi immediately suggested: "Lord, this place is dangerous, you might as well go back quickly! Just have me and Fang Zheng here."
At this time, Liu Zhang was scared to death. He dared to continue staying on the city wall. He had long been eager for someone to persuade him to return home. The same was true for the officials around Liu Zhang, and he had long wanted to escape, but the boss was still there and did not dare to escape easily. If there were no restrictions, he would probably be missing.
Liu Zhang was supported by the guards and was even more shocking when he saw some arrows penetrated into the wall on the way. He knew that if such arrows were shot on his body, he would be frightened to think about it.
Of course, in Liu Zhang and his party, in addition to the generals not being afraid, there were a few exceptions, namely Zhang Song, Huang Quan and Meng Da. These three people had long avoided arrows, so they were not hurt. The most unexpected thing was that Wang Lei had always stood straight on the city wall, and those raindrop-like arrows were like eyes, but they did not greet Wang Lei's body. From beginning to end, Wang Lei remained calm and calm.
Guo Huai said: "Who is that man? Facing such a powerful arrow, he still looks calm. What a warrior!"
After hearing this, Fa Zheng glanced at the city wall and smiled and said, "Boji, that's Wang Lei. This man shot his righteous spirit and was a person who was not afraid of death, but he was too pedantic."
Liu Zhang had just led his subordinates back to the official residence. Before he could say a few words, Li Yan, the guardian on the city wall, sent someone to report: "Lord, is there a messenger from Lu Ningjun, Jiang Gan, who is asking for a visit outside the city?"
Wang Lei said: "What else is he here to do at this time? No see!"
Zhang Song immediately said, "Mr. Wang, how can you help the lord decide? Although the two armies are fighting, it is normal to have messengers. Is it necessary to do this? As for whether to see each other or not, it should be decided by the lord."
After hearing this, Wang Lei knew that he was too reckless, so how could he make the decision for his lord?
Wang Lei said: "Lu Ning's messenger is here. What can you do? Isn't it just here to surrender?"
At this time, Liu Zhang was still worried. He was scared by the arrows of Guo Huai's army. He really wanted to surrender, but he didn't know whether his life could be saved after surrender.
Liu Zhang said: "Since that's the case, let Jiang Gan come into the city! Let's hear what he has to say first."
After hearing this, Wang Lei immediately guessed Liu Zhang’s intention and immediately said, “Lord…!”
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, see you first!"
Half a moment of incense, Jiang Gan arrived at Liu Zhang's official residence and saluted and said, "I have met Mr. Liu!"
Liu Zhang said: "Mr. Jiang, have you left Chengdu? Why are you back?"
Jiang Gandao: "Mr. Liu, I want to save my life this time."
After hearing this, Xu Jing immediately shouted and cursed: "Rareless!"
Wang Leize snorted, "My Lord is fine, why don't you ask you to save me? You are exaggerating. Who can you scare me? We lords will not be bewitched by you."
Jiang Gandao: "Mr. Liu, Xu Huang's army will soon conquer Zitong, and will soon reach the city of Chengdu; and General Guo Huai's tens of thousands of troops surrounded the city and was about to break out. Chengdu City is about to be destroyed. Does Lord Liu think he can still maintain the city?"
Liu Zhang said: "Mr. Jiang, I still have 100,000 elite soldiers in my city. What's the difficulty of defending the city?"
Jiang Gan smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city. You know better than me. Do you think that 50,000 soldiers and horses can defend the city? Even if you can defend it, how long can the food and grass in the city last? Once the food and grass are in a hurry, the army in the city will collapse without fighting. Those who are sitting here should understand this."
Liu Zhang said: "Since that's the case, what else are you doing?"
Jiang Gandao: "For the sake of the few people in the city to be hurt, for Lord Liu's life, and for Lord Liu to have a good home."
Liu Zhang said: "What does it mean?"
Jiang Gan said: "Mr. Liu, as long as you open the city gate and surrender at this time, we will still be your uprising during war. We will not treat you and your subordinates as prisoners, nor will we tolerate your subordinates' war crimes?"
After hearing this, Xu Jing immediately shouted: "What kind of war crimes? Are you here to invade our territory? Did you make a mistake?"
Jiang Gan said: "The truth is always the winner, and the loser can only accept reality."
Liu Zhang didn't want Xu Jing to linger. He cared about his life and didn't want to pay attention to the rest.
Liu Zhang said: "Mr. Jiang, please make it clear. I surrender now. How can you ensure the safety of our land and the safety of our subordinates?"
Jiang Gan said: "My lord has already spoken. As long as Lord Liu opens the city gate and surrenders, he will ensure the safety of his adults, so that he can eat, drink and spend money in the future. He is also planning to send a few beautiful overseas beauties to enjoy! As for the civil and military officials under your command, he will also be properly placed; as for soldiers? Those who are willing to join our army and meet the recruitment conditions of our army will continue to serve in our army; those who are unwilling to join the army or do not meet the recruitment requirements of our army will be given travel expenses and go home to farm."
After hearing this, Liu Zhang's eyes shone and immediately said, "Is it true?"
As soon as Liu Zhang said that, his officials looked at him with contempt. His lord was too timid and afraid of trouble. He was both lustful and timid, and he was very embarrassed.
Jiang Gandao: "Of course it's true."
Wang Lei, Xu Jing and other diehards immediately objected, but Liu Zhang just wanted to save his life at this time. He heard that he would give him a few beautiful beauties. He was already very happy, and he even took into account the opposition of his subordinates.
Liu Zhang said: "No need to say more. I decided to open the city gate and surrender to Lu Ning. This will prevent the people in the city from being affected by the war and give you all a good future."
Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Meng Da and others immediately said, "Lord is wise!"
Other officials who did not want to die immediately said in unison: "Lord is wise!"
Only Wang Lei, Xu Jing and others continued to persuade him, but Liu Zhang was already scared, so why could he hear the opposition? He said sternly: "You don't need to say anything, just do it!"
Wang Lei was in great pain, with no expression on his face, and he went to the city wall alone; what everyone did not expect was that Wang Lei actually fled down the city wall and committed suicide, just like in history.
After hearing this, Jiang Gan asked his subordinates to bury Wang Lei. After all, such a backbone person is worthy of respect for anyone; he can only blame Wang Lei and the wrong lord.
Afterwards, Liu Zhang issued a warrant to stop resisting and accept the takeover of Lu Ning's army; and the city gate was also wide open at this time, and Guo Huai led a large army to enter Chengdu city in an orderly manner. The army was in order behind the city and did not harass any people, but only temporarily maintained public order in the city.
At this point, the Yizhou issue was completely resolved. Although there was still a lot of work to be carried out after taking over, with the efforts of Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Fa Zheng, Meng Da and civilian officials who accompanied the army, Yizhou was completely stabilized in just a few months; Zhang Song also officially became the governor of Yizhou, and Fa Zheng was the chief of staff of Xu Huangjun; Huang Quan and Meng Da had other arrangements.
