The ambush lasted for about two hours before it came to an end.

Since Mianzhu City had not sent troops to encircle and suppress him for a long time, Zhang Ren was naturally captured by the rebels by a single mistake.

In one battle, he captured the famous Shu general Zhang Ren.

When the Luocheng defenders learned of this incident, their morale became even more depressed and unstable.

General Liu Xun noticed that the defenders in the city seemed to be disorganized, so he immediately began to rectify the situation, and then quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Chengdu to submit a report to ask for reinforcements.

Moreover, he also stepped up his efforts to urge Li Yan, who was stationed at Mianzhu, to send troops for reinforcements.

At this time, Mianzhu City was the government office.

Li Yanzheng, the guard of the army, and Fei Guan, who joined the army, sat looking at each other.

For a long time, Fei Guan's face showed a look of worry, and he said worriedly: "Zhengfang, this time you strictly ordered all ministries not to leave the city to cooperate with Zhang Ren in encircling and suppressing Liu Bei's army's partial division deep in the rear."

"If Zhang Ren loses the battle, once the lord knows about it, we may be held accountable for our crimes."

After saying this, Li Yan saw that the worry on his face was getting heavier and heavier, but Li Yan didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said with a smile on his face: "What am I asking for?"

"What does Zhengfang mean?"

As soon as he heard the words, Fei Guan's hair suddenly stood up. He immediately felt that there was something wrong in Li Yan's words, so he questioned him with vigilance.

"If Zhang Ren's ability can't wipe out even a mere partial division of Liu Bei's army, then does Binbo think it's possible for Yizhou to be defended?"

"Once Luocheng is lost, Chengdu will no longer have a barrier. How can Liu Jiyu compete with Uncle Liu Huang?"

After hearing Li Yan's rhetorical question, how could Fei Guan not understand that he had already surrendered?

"Does Zhengfang want to be the minister who betrays the Lord?"

Although he understood Li Yan's intentions, he and Liu Zhang were brothers-in-law and had an unusually close relationship, so they immediately questioned him righteously.

Hearing this, Li Yan didn't take it seriously, but said with a smile: "It is said that a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a wise minister chooses his master to work. Liu Jiyu has always been weak in character and has no ambition."

"Brother Bin Bo, just think about it, have you been wasting your time for so many years? Have you ever had the time to use your talents?"

After saying that, Li Yan took a careful look at Fei Guan and found that he was indeed deep in thought, so he felt happy and changed the subject:

"Uncle Liu Huang has always been kind and loving to the people, and he has great ambitions. He has been working hard to clear out the rebels and revive the Han Dynasty. When he takes over Yizhou, won't we have a better place to use it, and we will not be wasting time like the pearl is secretly doing now?

good?"

"Besides, Yan heard that Fa Zheng has been treated well since he surrendered. I imagine that the emperor's uncle is also a man who is thirsty for talents. In this case, isn't Uncle Bin tempted?"

As Li Yan remembered his heart-shaking words, Fei Guan also became restless and fell into deep hesitation.

It is true that everything Li Yan said is true.

Who is the enlightened master, and whoever you follow will have a better future? This is a self-evident matter!

Obviously, Fei Guanjian was shaken.

This is also human nature. If there is a bright future, who would want to live a life of inaction?

"Stop talking Zhengfang, let's wait for Zhang Ren's battle report..."

"Urgent report!"

Before Fei Guan could finish his words, the bodyguard suddenly rushed into the house and loudly reported.

Hearing this, the look on Li Yan's face suddenly changed, and he quickly asked: "Is it possible that Zhang Ren completely wiped out the enemy's partial division and achieved a great victory?"

After hearing this, Fei Guan who was watching from the side also calmed down and listened quietly.

Perhaps Zhang Ren's victory or defeat will determine their choice.

After hearing this, the bodyguard quickly raised his hands and replied: "Report to protect the army and join the army. According to the soldiers who escaped from the front line, General Zhang wanted to set up an ambush, but unexpectedly the enemy army was already prepared."

"After a fierce battle, his army was almost completely destroyed. General Zhang was also caught in the chaos and was captured."

"What? Zhang Ren was captured?"

As soon as he said this, Fei Guan on one side suddenly couldn't sit still and stood up in an instant, with a look of shock on his face.

He never expected that Zhang Ren, the most brave general in Shu, would be unable to deal with a small partial division of the enemy army.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a state of confusion.

After pondering for a long time, he took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, and then looked at Li Yan solemnly.

The two reached an agreement.

Fei Guan accepted Li Yan's idea and joined Liu Bei.

Originally, Fei Guan took a wait-and-see attitude with a sense of luck, hoping that Zhang Ren could defeat the enemy's partial division and make some achievements.

But now, his capture has cut off the last glimmer of hope in Fei Guan's heart.

Fei Guan is not a stupid person. He can see the reality clearly and knows that Liu Bei will definitely take control of Yizhou next, and the defeat of his leader Liu Zhang is a foregone conclusion.

The existence of Luocheng is just a last resort of stubborn resistance!

Moreover, Fei Guan knew that until now, Liu Bei had not issued a transfer order to Jingzhou.

Once Jingzhou sends troops into Sichuan again, who in Sichuan can resist?

Fei Guan knew very well that Liu Zhang was now at the end of his rope.

During the period when the two of them were conspiring to bring everyone to surrender.

Li Hui, who pretended to be an envoy heading north, also arrived at Mianzhu City.

After understanding Li Hui's intentions, Li Yan and Fei Guan happily received him.

Then the three people reached an agreement and secretly sent an envoy to take a detour to Liu Bei's army camp to meet with Liu Bei.

When the news that Li Yan and others were about to surrender came, at the same time, the news that Pang Tong and Zhao Tong had captured Zhang Ren alive in the rear also reached Liu Bei's desk.

With the good news coming frequently, Liu Bei's face was also full of joy and smiles, which cleared away the gloom of being unable to conquer Luocheng in recent days.

In the big tent.

Liu Bei and a middle-aged scholar dressed in blue shirts were sitting on the floor looking at each other, discussing.

"Xiao Zhi, judging from the current situation, the day when our army takes over Chengdu is probably not far away!"

Hearing this, Fazheng had obviously also learned about Zhang Ren's capture and Li Yan's intention to surrender, so he congratulated him with a smile on his face, but then, he also showed a subtle hint of worry.

Liu Bei and Fazheng have been on close terms in recent days.

This fleeting look on Fazheng's face could not be hidden from him.

"Now that Shi Yuan has led his troops to achieve a great victory behind enemy lines, and Li Yan and others want to lead his troops back, the situation is looking good. Xiao Zhi seems to be a little worried?"

After hearing this, Fazheng showed a wry smile and said, "My lord, I am a little worried that some bad things may happen to Chengdu after hearing that Li Zhengfang and others have returned with their troops?"

However, having said that, good news is now spreading frequently, and Liu Bei is so happy that he doesn't pay too much attention to it.

Then he immediately ordered the secret envoy to return again and informed him that he would welcome Li Yan and his troops back.

After the emissary returned, Li Yan, Fei Guan and others did not hesitate at all. They joined forces with Mianzhu County Magistrate Fei Shi and led their troops to surrender on the third day after Zhang Ren was captured.

As soon as this news spread.

In Luocheng, the morale of the army was suddenly shaken, and the morale of the soldiers was extremely low.

People in Chengdu are also panic-stricken, and the scholars and powerful people in the city are gradually beginning to have different intentions, each with their own agenda and plotting secretly.
