"I finally arrived at the city of Chengdu!"

When Chu Tian saw the towering Chengdu City, his heart was surging.

After taking over Chengdu City, Shu has basically obtained eight or nine out of ten.

Chengdu's position in Shu is equivalent to Luoyang and Chang'an to the Han Empire.

The unification of the Han Empire is so close to you.

Chu Tian only brought five thousand cavalry troops to break through the outer defense line of Chengdu and surrendered tens of thousands of troops from Shu.

If Chu Tian had only such a little force and dared not attack Chengdu, but if there was an insider in Chengdu City, then Chu Tian could completely reproduce the script of Deng Ai entering Shu.

Chu Tian stationed in the northern city of Chengdu, peeking at Chengdu city, waiting for Zhang Song to answer.

There are still 50,000 troops in Chengdu, but Wang Meng doesn't dare to go out of the city to fight.

The reason is also very simple. The elite of the Shu army was either in Hanzhong or in Nanzhong. There were no special troops in Chengdu that could deal with Chu Tian’s Iron Cavalry.

In addition, Wang Meng divided 30,000 troops to the south to block the Huo'an army that was advancing towards Chengdu, and his clones were weak.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Mianzhu, Fuxian and other places, and they are surrounding Chutian.

However, Chu Tian looked down upon nothing.

As long as Chengdu is captured and the families of Shu soldiers are obtained, most of the Shu army will surrender without fighting.

The Yizhou family owns many wealth in Chengdu. Taking over Chengdu has even controlled the lifeline of the local aristocratic families.

Wang Meng stood on the majestic northern city wall of Chengdu, looking at the Xia army outside the city, without saying a word for a long time.

With Wang Meng's intelligence, he knew exactly what was going on in Yizhou now, but Wang Meng was still holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"The Xia army only had thousands of troops and more than ten thousand surrendered soldiers, thinking that they could capture Chengdu?"

Wang Meng believed that unless the Xia army came with 100,000 people, he would be sure to capture Chengdu, which Wang Meng defended with 50,000 people.

As a giant city, Chengdu has towering walls and towers of arrows. If everyone works together, even a hundred thousand Xia troops will not be able to capture it.

Now, only a few thousand cavalry came to the Xia army, and they were surrounded by the Shu army captured along the way.

Suddenly, Wang Meng's heart moved and probably understood what Chu Tian meant.

"The Xia army cannot be on the risk of war for no reason. Then the Xia army under the city will definitely be 80% sure to take Chengdu... It turns out that there are internal supporters. It seems that the aristocratic families in Yizhou have made a choice. Chengdu cannot be defended."

Wang Meng understood and sighed.

This is the decision of the Yizhou family.

The local families during the Three Kingdoms period had a considerable influence in the world of "Lords".

Even if the lord recruits civil and military officials from other dynasties, taxes and conscription cannot avoid the local families of the Three Kingdoms.

Many middle and low-level military generals, civil servants, still come from local families? They can interfere in tax collection, conscription, agriculture, and economy.

Liu Bei, Chen Xi, Wang Meng and others belong to outsiders, not native Yizhou people? So they rely more on the power of the Yizhou family? When the Yizhou family found that they could not protect the interests of their family by following Liu Bei, these aristocratic families decided to change their ownership.

Not only did the aristocratic families continue to support Liu Bei, but as the situation in Yizhou is in decline, more and more aristocratic families change their positions.

Yang Huai, the commander of Baishui Pass, and Fei Guan, the commander of Jiameng Pass, surrendered without fighting? It has already represented a number of Yizhou families who have rebelled.

Wang Meng could not blame these aristocratic families.

The War of Unification of the Han Empire was just a struggle between the princes for interests, and there was no question of whether one of them was just or not.

The Yizhou family has helped Liu Bei and Wang Meng a lot. Because of the war, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Yizhou, and the population of Yizhou will no longer bear more casualties? Otherwise, in the next few decades, Yizhou's population will be much smaller than that of other states.

"The Yizhou family rebelled, so the people who defended the city must have spies. Fa Zheng? No, it's not him, it's probably Zhang Song? And..."

Wang Meng knew it in his mind, and even listed a list of a series of families that might have rebelled.

But how to deal with them?

Wang Meng was pacing back and forth on the city wall? His blue shirt moved with the wind.

If it were an ordinary general, if you learned that the person who was about to rebel in the city was about to be rebel, maybe he had already taken it down, but Wang Meng fell into consideration.

"Urgent report! Huo'an, the great defender of the Western Regions, led an army of 200,000 out of the southern barbarian mountains? Yu Guangdu County defeated our army? He killed 30,000, and the entire Guangdu County defender was wiped out!"

“…”

Wang Meng recently sent 30,000 defenders to defend in southern Chengdu, but were destroyed by Huo An.

Huo'an's troops were combined with Mongolian cavalry, the Southern Barbarian army, and the surrendered troops of Jianwei County. They had enough troops to launch a fierce offensive and directly attacked, and wiped out the 30,000 defenders in Guangdu County.

Huoan and Chutian have formed a siege of Chengdu from the south and the north.

The general of the Shu army who reported the news looked at Wang Meng carefully: "Military advisor, what should we do?"

Wang Meng refused to answer for a long time and finally said slowly: "You lead a team of elite soldiers, so..."

The general of the Shu army widened his eyes: "Military advisor, do we really want this?"

Wang Meng sighed: "The situation is over."

As night fell, Chengdu's North City Gate changed defenses as a general of the Xia army's in-house military personnel, and controlled the entire North City Gate.

Zhang Song came to the north city gate specifically to confirm that the surrendered troops had been replaced.

"When the hour of Yin, use fire as the sign to meet the King of Xia."

"clear."

"Wang Meng is Liu Bei's military advisor and will definitely lead troops to resist. I will lead private soldiers to kill Wang Meng. Wang Meng did not expect that he would definitely be killed by me."

After Zhang Song confirmed that there was an internal support from the North City, he and several families gathered more than a thousand private soldiers to attack Wang Meng.

Wang Meng suppressed the aristocratic family, and some people were dissatisfied with it.

Chu Tian couldn't sleep at night and led a five thousand iron cavalry outside the city gate of Chengdu North City, waiting for the signal.

"Zhang Song is greedy and should not regret it."

"Lord, look, there is a signal in the city!"

A soft cry from Bei Mi made Chu Tian come to his senses.

Sure enough, a Shu general waved his torch to help the Xia army into the city.

The north city gate of Chengdu was opened by the insider. Gao Shun led the camp and took the lead in entering the city to prevent Wang Meng from setting up an ambush or the Shu army from suing surrendering.

Soon, he entered the city camp and occupied the city gate and returned his life to Chu Tian.

"Invade Chengdu and take the city lord's mansion directly, and you are not allowed to plunder!"

Chu Tian repeatedly ordered that after capturing Chengdu, this place would be an important main city for attacking Dongyu Kingdom in the future, and even attacking the Indian Peninsula. Therefore, Chu Tian would never want this giant city to be destroyed.

Five thousand cavalrymen rushed into the city and took the city lord's mansion!

Soon, the Iron Cavalry entered the city, which caused panic among the 50,000 Shu troops in the city!

And there has been a battle near the city lord’s mansion!

Iron cavalry leaps and bounds, and in Chengdu city, swords and swords!

The Xia army entered Chengdu, and the Chengdu defenders were even less motivated and surrendered one after another. Chu Tian led the cavalry to the city lord's mansion!

"Chengdu has it for me!"

Chu Tian did not expect to take down the most important city in Yizhou so easily. He had almost no decent battles, and achieved his goal through strategy and internal response.

There were many corpses near the Lord's Mansion. Wang Meng led a team of troops to ambush Zhang Song, who was leading the attack on the Lord's Mansion, and killed Zhang Song and several generals of the aristocratic families. The private soldiers of the aristocratic families scattered.

Wang Meng and Chu Tian confronted each other in the lord's mansion.

However, what surprised Chu Tian even more was that Wang Meng quickly surrendered to Chu Tian with the official seal.

Chu Tian stared at the strategist who surrendered with his official seal in his hands, and always felt that Wang Meng's reaction was too calm: "Wang Jingluo, did you have guessed that there was an insider in the city?"

Wang Meng replied calmly: "It's just that Zhang Song and others saw that the situation was gone, so they offered the city to seek honor."

"Why don't you use the tricks and set up a ambush in the city? If you kill me, Chengdu can defend it."

"Your Highness's words are reasonable. However, I heard that the prince of Xia is both civil and military, and he is already a king. Even if the criminal minister set up an ambush and killed his prince, he would only be revenge by the Xia army on a larger scale. The emperor was angry and buried a million corpses and bleeding thousands of miles. I am afraid that by then, there will be no people in Shu, and no grass will grow. The criminal minister has been bothering Shu for a long time, and he cannot bear to resist the lives of the people in Shu."

"Then why do you kill Zhang Song and other heroes? Are you not afraid that I will kill you, so I will give you an explanation to the Yizhou family?"

Chu Tian questioned Wang Meng, but Wang Meng remained silent.

However, Chu Tian had already seen the answer from Wang Meng's eyes.

Wang Meng killed Zhang Song, one was angry, and the other was that he believed that Chu Tian also wanted to kill Zhang Song, and was unwilling to fulfill his promise to Zhang Song, so he simply helped Chu Tian kill Zhang Song before surrendering.

This is a Zhuge Liang-like figure who helped Fu Jian unify the north of the Former Qin Dynasty. If Wang Meng does not die, Fu Jian will have the opportunity to unify China.

Wang Meng had completely guessed the inner response and Chu Tian’s thoughts.

It's not terrible.

"I don't like to get Chengdu, but I'm happy to get you. I'm sorry you are not guilty."

After Chu Tian saw Wang Meng's power, he knew that he would get another versatile talent in the future, so he naturally forgives Wang Meng.

As for Zhang Song and others who were killed by Wang Meng, Chu Tian also came forward to comfort him.

All good things are left to the lord, and the blame is taken.
