Seeing that there was no chance of recovery, Shi Fang thought about his son being killed in battle due to his miscalculation. Meng Zhixiang's courtesy and Meng Chang's care came to his mind. He let out a long sigh and cut himself with his sword.
No matter how stupid the king is, there will still be some loyal people who are willing to die for him.
When Luo Youdu got the news that Shi F had committed suicide, he asked people to find the bodies of Shi's father and son so that they could be buried alive.
"His Majesty!"
Han Lingkun brought Miao Bing and Zhao Jizha to say hello.
Miao Bing knelt down directly on the ground and said respectfully: "The Ba people have received great favor from your Majesty. I, on behalf of the Ba people, pay my respects to the Emperor of Central Plains."
He kowtowed as if he were pounding garlic, showing his greatest sincerity.
If Han Lingkun suddenly appeared outside Yuzhou City and sent people to Bazhai with Luo Youdu to show mercy, it would scare Miao Bing into tears.
The strength shown by the Central Plains soldiers when they attacked Zhongzhou made Miao Bing completely surrender.
After three days of tentative siege, Miao Bing wanted to perform well in exchange for some loot.
But Han Lingkun refused until the third day.
The Central Plains soldiers brought a pile of wood of different structures from somewhere behind and assembled it to form three simple ladders.
Miao Bing volunteered to fight again.
This time Han Lingkun did not refuse and gave them a simple ladder.
Three groups attacked together, two groups of Central Plains soldiers and one group of Ba people.
As a result, two groups of Central Plains soldiers attacked the city tower one after another, and they were beaten to death. It was only after the Central Plains soldiers gained a firm foothold on the city tower that they successfully boarded the city.
The gap between them is huge and can be seen at a glance.
Not only did Miao Bing have no intention of fighting against the Central Plains, he also wanted to lead his people to cooperate with the Central Plains policies and live a good life just like Ji Han did.
When Luo Youdu saw Miao Bing like this, he was also very happy. He helped Miao Bing up and said, "In my eyes, there is no distinction between Ba people and Han people in the world. They are all my people, and they are all treated equally."
There are many ethnic minorities in Shu, but the Ba people are the largest among them.
As long as the Ba people can cooperate well and set an example, other tribes will naturally follow suit.
After taking a look at the surroundings, Luo Youdu said: "Soldiers have worked hard. We will rest in Zhongzhou overnight and the troops will be sent to Chengdu tomorrow."
Amidst the cheers of the generals, Luo Youdu conquered Zhongzhou, and the news of the deaths of the Shi family and his son blew to the west with lightning speed.
The death of the Shi family's father and son in battle was the last straw that broke Meng Shu's eastern defense line, and Hezhou, near Yuzhou, directly chose to surrender.
Luo Youdu originally planned to make a small detour and head directly towards Chengdu.
However, the surrender of Hezhou caused Luo Youdu to change his marching route and go directly to Hezhou and towards Suizhou.
Chengdu could no longer send troops, and Suizhou's garrison could not block the Central Plains Army's advance, so they wisely chose to surrender the city.
At this point, Luo Youdu's left army was only three hundred miles away from Chengdu.
The cavalry is only two days away...
Chengdu Shu Palace.
Meng Xuan hurriedly sat on the throne and looked at the panicked ministers below. He saw that all of them had strange faces and uneasy expressions, and said angrily: "Now that the traitors from the Central Plains are so close, the princes have nothing to do with them."
method?"
There was silence in the hall.
Li Hao came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Central Plains has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, which accounts for two-thirds of the world. Everyone is united and the momentum is unstoppable. Instead of competing, it is better to follow the trend and submit to the Central Plains. Just like the Duke of Dongyang County.
, without losing the wealth and honor in the world.”
The Duke of Dongyang is talking about Liu Chengjun, the man who leads the sheep.
Now Liu Chengjun is in Bianjing, enjoying the salary of a county official, and his life is really comfortable.
Meng Xuanchuang glared at Li Hao fiercely without saying a word.
Li Hao was the prime minister of Meng Shu. This prime minister took the lead in persuading surrender...
How shameless this is.
Li Hao didn't care about so many things. He bowed to the end and waited quietly for Meng Xuanchun.
With Li Hao taking the lead, ministers who received the Meng family's salary actually went out to support Li Hao one by one.
Meng Xuan was livid, watching almost half of the courtiers come out, and some of them were eager to give it a try.
I'm just weighing the pros and cons for the sake of my face and reputation.
Seeing this situation, Meng Xuan hurriedly moved to the warehouse and decided to surrender.
But at the moment when his mind was shaken, Meng Xuancong thought of Meng Chang before he died, pointed at himself and cursed: "Beast, you are missing my Meng family.
Foundation, can’t it survive next year?”
In an instant, Meng Xuan's eyes were red. Not to mention it had been a year, and now he had surrendered, and he had not been able to survive for half a year.
Isn't he working so hard just to prove that he is more suitable to be the emperor of Bashu than his father?
If he died in the past six months, how could he have the face to meet the ancestors of the Meng family?
Meng Xuanchun got excited and roared: "I want to fight Luo Youdu to the death. Who dares to surrender again, with such a case?"
He drew out his sword and cut off the corner of the case in front of him with one stroke.
Li Hao turned pale when he saw this and did not dare to say anything.
Others naturally do so.
"Retreat first. If there is a good strategy for retreating from the enemy, no matter who it is or what status it is, I will give it my blessing."
Meng Xuanchun said eloquently that the body of the scandium-shaped Nailu couldn't help but tremble slightly.
At this moment, Meng Xuan blew roses and stirred up the waiter, who was in panic.
Gao Huaide broke through Jianmen Pass.
"How can it be?"
Meng Xuan cried loudly: "That's Jianmen Pass!"
The most complete defense equipment in Shu and the best natural barrier in geographical location... Jianmen Pass!
Zhao Chongtao, who had retreated, knelt down beside Meng Xuanzhen and cried: "Gao Huaide found a trail from nowhere, and they went directly behind Jianmen Pass. They attacked Jianmen Pass from front to back and guarded it.
The army was in chaos and Jianmen Pass was lost."
"The last general summoned the remaining soldiers and formed an array at Hanyuanpo. The gap between our soldiers and the Central Plains soldiers was too big. They were defeated in both battles and had no power to fight back. The last general was incompetent and unable to save the day. Please punish your Majesty..."
Meng Xuan was jealous of the general, and his body was bandaged with many wounds, and there was a small touch in his heart.
It is true that Zhao Chongtao was defeated, but his injuries were real.
It is a thousand times better than those civil servants and generals who are timid before fighting, conform to the general trend one after another, but insist on surrender.
"The death of Meng Shu is not the fault of the general. General, go down and rest, take good care of yourself, and guard Chengdu. Generals are indispensable."
Meng Xuanci held Zhao Chongtao's hand in his coat.
Zhao Chongtao was mediocre in ability, but he was promoted by Meng Chang. He was very loyal to Meng Shu. Now seeing that Meng Xuanci had no intention of blaming him, he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the general may not be as brave as the thieves, but for your majesty, the general is willing to fight with
Chengdu will live and die together."
Meng Xuanchun's eyes filled with tears. After all, there were loyal people in the civil and military dynasties, and he said loudly: "General Zhao, from now on, you will be the commander of the camp in Chengdu, and I will entrust the safety of Chengdu to you.
"
Zhao Chongtao didn't react for a moment. After losing the battle and losing the Jianmen Pass, could he still be promoted?
Meng Xuan defeated the Vietnamese army. Now we are not at the end of our rope. We still have hope and there are reinforcements from Dali. As long as we can hold Chengdu, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory."
At this time, Meng Xuan couldn't care less about losing face. The reinforcements Gao Xiang said were the only life-saving straw he could rely on.
