Many generals thought of the letter of persuasion in the city that day. There were many soldiers loyal to Liu Bei, but they were still struggling to support them, but there were also many soldiers waiting and watching.

The pressure suddenly eased, and Zhou Tai led the soldiers to attack Liu Bei's army with a arrogant attitude.

As heavy infantry entered the city and more and more Xiliang troops broke into the city, Liu Bei's face became increasingly ugly. The city was in a state of chaos at this time. The rebellion of the aristocratic families was cleared out on the surface, but in fact there were very few private soldiers who were involved in the rebellion. They were waiting for the Xiliang army to enter the city, thus giving Liu Bei a fatal blow.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Brother, retreat quickly and don't stay for a long time."

At this moment, Liu Bei felt as if he was dead. He had been running around for many years. It seemed that the whole world had no place to stay. If he defected to Cao Cao, he could not take down his face. It can be said that the whole world would lose his qualification to fight for power and the restoration of the Han Dynasty would become an empty talk.

The heavy cavalry entered the city, and their mission was to quickly control all the six gates in Xiangyang and prevent an enemy from leaving. Huang Zhong's purpose was very simple, to capture Liu Bei and Xiangyang's officials in one place, completely erase Liu Bei's power in Xiangyang.

After a night of fighting, the people who got up early saw shocking blood and corpses, and broken arms and limbs were everywhere. Many people immediately hid home when they saw this scene.

"General, Liu Bei was not found."

Hearing this news, Huang Zhong's expression was not so good-looking. He raided Xiangyang. At this time, all the six city gates were strictly guarded, but Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei disappeared.

"Continue to search and be sure to find the three of them." Huang Zhong said.

"General, the soldiers are not very familiar with Xiangyang, so it is better to mobilize the people." Guo Jia suggested.

After the Xiliang Army entered the city, it did not disturb the people, but began to restore normal order in the city. At the same time, fast horses galloped along the street while shouting, "Those who caught Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei would reward a thousand gold, and those who provided the news would reward a hundred gold."

The poor people never saw a hundred gold or a thousand gold in their lifetime, but Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and others didn't know who they were.

"Zhang Fei?" a commoner muttered: "Is it General Zhang San?"

Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei rarely appear among the people, but Zhang Fei and the people know him. The person who is big and thick and loud and has a voice like a gong gave a deep impression.

After learning that it was the Xiliang Army that entered the city, many people felt relieved. They had long known some of the policies of the Xiliang Army. Even if Liu Bei expressed his kindness and righteousness in Xiangyang and even Jingzhou, it would be difficult to change the fact that they were tilting towards the Xiliang Army.

Under the vigorous search of the people and soldiers, one of the people provided Zhang Fei's actions. After sacrificing more than a dozen soldiers, the peerless general in Liu Bei's hands also became a prisoner.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, who were with Zhang Fei, were also not spared.

After hearing the news that the three of them were arrested, Huang Zhong sighed. There were three people in his hands, and Jingzhou could easily get cities with just one order.

Because the city gates of Xiangyang were closed, there were still high-rise Liu Bei's army banners on the city. Outsiders think that Xiangyang still belongs to Liu Bei.

The news that the three people were captured was still heard by other guards. Unexpectedly, the guards from other places learned that the Xiliang army was coming, and they did not feel any resistance. After the Xiliang army stated the conditions, they opened the city gate very calmly.

Except for Nanjun, Jingzhou fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army, and even the hero Liu Bei became a prisoner.

Under Cai Mao's persuasion, Liu Cong chose to surrender. Like Liu Zhang's treatment, he went to Luoyang to live in peace, which was more of a surveillance. Compared with Liu Zhang, Liu Cong's harm was less.

What's more, there is Cai Mao's relationship, so Jia Rong is not afraid that Liu Cong will cause trouble.

Seeing the imperial palace in Xiangyang City, Huang Zhong curled his lips dissatisfiedly and said, "It can still be called the imperial palace."

Compared with Luoyang, the imperial palace in Xiangyang is very simple, and there is even no moat outside the palace. This is also the reason why the Xiliang army was able to quickly pacify the entire city. If it is the same as the imperial palace in Luoyang, it will take at least tens of thousands of troops to complete it.

Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Fei were temporarily detained in the city, and soldiers were strictly guarded.

Losing Xiangyang and becoming a prisoner, Liu Bei became much older overnight. His previous heroic ambitions will also accompany this captive becoming Yunyan. His understanding of Jia Rong's methods will definitely not give him any chance to turn things around.

Guan Yu was completely furious. Regardless of Zhou Cang's dissuasion, he led the only 20,000 soldiers left in the city towards Xiangyang. No matter how much the price he paid, he would have to bring Zhang Fei and Liu Bei out. After so many years, the three of them lived and died together, and they had gone through many ups and downs. Even if they died, they would die together. Since following Liu Bei, Guan Yu has never regretted it. He did not think that Liu Bei was not worthy of being the eldest brother or something. He was doing his duty and responsibilities. No matter how Liu Bei chose, he would never leave him.

As soon as Guan Yu left the city, he was targeted by Jiang Yu again. Now Jingzhou is almost belonging to Liang Kingdom. Guan Yu is a stubborn person, and guarding Nanjun is a huge trouble. He avoided many means when he left the city himself.

The furious Guan Yu led the soldiers desperately to the cavalry until they were covered in blood and there were only a few soldiers left. He shouted to the sky, hundreds of soldiers lowered their heads. After a battle, many soldiers chose to escape and followed Guan Yu, leaving them unable to see any hope.

With the defeat of Guan Yu and the capture of Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang, Jingzhou was completely pacified.

In the Liang Kingdom Palace, all civil and military officials sang praises and were full of joy.

Jia Rong was in a good mood and rewarded the soldiers who attacked Jingzhou a lot of money, and the officials who governed the local government were quickly in place.

The Cai family moved to Luoyang. In the city, Jia Rong prepared a mansion for them. Cai Mao is now a royal relative, so he naturally cannot be shabby. Moreover, Cai Mao is also a representative of Jingzhou. The Kuai family's original resignation and the counterattack of many aristocratic families at critical moments are the factors that aggravate Liu Bei's defeat.

Seeing Zhuge Liang locked in a small dark room, Jia Rong felt extremely happy and resisted the urge to laugh.

"Mr. Kongming, I have heard of the great name for a long time." Jia Rong said.

"Haha, Jia Rong, you are just a rebel of the Han Dynasty. You don't feel ashamed when facing the world." Zhuge Liang fought back without hesitation.

"Shame in the face of the world? The Han Dynasty rebelled?" Jia Rong smiled and said, "Since ancient times, those who have become kings and losers are enemies. Qin has no virtue, and the heroes in the world have risen up. How could Liu Bang never get the world of Qin? Was he not a minister of Qin before?"

"As long as the people can live a stable life, no bullshit royal family is just empty talk. The world is stable, the general trend is the general trend. With Mr. Kong Ming's talent, can't even understand this? Since I started to treat the people well, I have had elite soldiers. Those who have won the battle will win the world. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The king will make the boats and the people will make water. Water can carry the boats and can also cover the boats."

"A person's death is either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. He died for the righteousness he said, for the sake of ignorance. Mr. Kong Ming was very talented. He thought about doing something for the people, and when did he figure it out and let the soldiers at the door pass on the message." Jia Rong left this sentence and walked out.

After hearing Jia Rong's words, Zhuge Liang felt it was extremely absurd. After careful consideration, he found that the reason why the Han Dynasty destroyed its four hundred years of foundation so quickly was because of the people, and it was so similar to the Qin Dynasty that year.

"Water can carry a boat and can also overturn it." Zhuge Liang felt that this sentence was so philosophical for the first time.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Jia Rong were planning to persuade them at all. These two people were stubborn and letting them go would cause trouble for themselves.

In the third year of Kaiyuan, God seemed to be less cooperative, and there was a rare drought. Many places had no grains to harvest. The affected areas opened warehouses to provide relief. Even merchants donated a lot of money and grain. Later, they experienced snow disasters. Many people in Bingzhou, Liangzhou, had no place to live because of their houses collapsed, and were solved in a timely manner.

Relatively speaking, the Cao army was not so stable. Cao Cao did not have enough strength to rescue the people. At this time, he had the three prefectures of Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou, but he had to support nearly 300,000 troops. The army was huge, so he had to increase taxes. The disaster year was not spared. Even with the support of the military farm, the situation could not be restored. Fortunately, the disaster situation in Liang Kingdom was even more serious, giving Cao army a little chance to breathe.

Many people under the Cao army ruled, heard that Liang's country's policies were good, and they went there one after another. Cao Cao kept it with powerful means. Without the support of the people, it would be impossible to support a huge army, and the soldiers who lost on the battlefield could not be replenished in time.

The forced and helpless people rose up and became bandits, countless people were busy with trouble. Even though there were many counselors in their hands, it was difficult for a skilled woman to cook without rice, so she could only send soldiers to suppress her.

Cao Cao also learned from Liang's policies and proposed to ask merchants to raise funds. Seeing the poor rice and grain raised, Cao Cao was very angry. Could it be that what Liang's country could accomplish was so difficult to get to him?

In the year of disaster, Liang State recruited troops. In just one year, the number of troops expanded to 400,000. This growth rate was very amazing. Before, all the soldiers of Liang State added together, but only more than 200,000, and more than 100,000 troops were added within a year. There is no precedent among the princes.

Unlike the soldiers of the princes, 400,000 soldiers and 300,000 are permanent troops. As long as there is war, they can go to the battlefield at any time. Among them, 100,000 people are stationed in Luoyang to protect the safety of the capital.

Zhuge Liang surrendered. After reading the Western Liang army system and the Liang State official system and policies sent by Jia Rong, Zhuge Liang thought about it for three days and finally chose to surrender, starting with a small county magistrate.
