Liu Bei summoned into the room and asked for his name. It turned out that he was from Yu Yuan, Jianning, with his surname Li and his courtesy name De'ang. Liu Bei smiled and said, "You tried hard to advise Liu Zhang before, why did you surrender to me at this time?"
Reply: "I heard that good birds find a good tree to be a family, and the wise ministers also choose a good lord to serve. They advised Liu Zhang before that they were doing their best to the ministers. Since they did not obey,
I knew he would definitely fail. Now the general's benevolence and righteousness are spread throughout Shu. I knew that things would definitely be accomplished, so I came to surrender!"
Liu Bei nodded and said, "Sir, it will definitely be good for me when I come here this time!"
Li Hui said: "I heard that Ma Chao is now in a dilemma. I had a relationship with him in Longxi before. I could be a lobbyist and convince Ma Chao to surrender. How about it?"
Kong Ming said: "I just need someone to go there for me to persuade Ma Chao to surrender. I hope you can listen to what you are going to lobby?" So he said his thoughts in detail next to Kong Ming's ear. Kong Ming was very happy after hearing this.
Let him move forward immediately.
Li Hui rode a horse to Ma Chao's camp and first asked someone to tell him the name. Ma Chao said, "I know Li Hui is a famous scholar, so I will definitely come and persuade me to surrender now!"
So he summoned more than 20 swords and axemen to ambush the tent and instructed: "If I order to kill you, you will just kill me!"
Soon, Li Hui came in, Ma Chao sat in the tent and scolded: "What are you here to do?"
Reply: "I am a lobbyist."
Ma Chao said: "I just polished the sword in my hand. Try to tell me. If it doesn't work, then use you to try whether the sword is sharp!"
Li Hui smiled and said, "The general's disaster is not far away. I'm afraid that the newly sharpened sword will not kill me, but will kill myself."
Ma Chao said: "What kind of disaster can I have?"
Reply: "I heard that Xizi who has passed by, those who are good at destruction cannot fulfill virtue, and those who are good at expressing beauty cannot cover up their ugliness. When the moon is full, they will start to lose money. This is the daily truth. Now the general and Cao Cao have killed their father.
It is a hatred for Longxi. You cannot save Liu Zhang from the troops in Jingzhou before, and you cannot stop Yang Song from meeting Zhang Lu. There is no place in the world that can accommodate you, and there is no lord in it. If there is another Weiqiao like
With a crushing defeat and a loss like Jicheng, what else can you see the people in the world?"
After reminding, Ma Chao finally figured it out and said, "What you said makes sense, but I have no way out."
Li Hui said: "Since you are going to follow my advice, why do you still have to ambush the sword and axe driver in the tent?"
Ma Chao felt very ashamed and quickly dismissed the knife and axe master.
Li Hui said: "Uncle Liu is a virtuous and sage. I know he will succeed, so I abandoned Liu Zhang and surrendered to him. Your father once joined forces with Uncle Liu to fight against the rebel Cao Cao. Why don't you abandon the secret and turn to the light? In this way, you can report your father.
Can you make achievements in hatred?"
Ma Chao was very happy after hearing this, so he immediately asked Yang Bai to enter, killed him with one sword, and then took his head to close and surrender Liu Bei.
When Liu Bei found out, he was very happy and greeted him in person. As a guest of honor, Ma Chao said: "I met a wise lord today, just like I met the blue sky in the clouds and mist."
That was because Sun Gan had returned, but Liu Bei still asked Huo Jun and Meng Da to guard the pass, withdrew their troops and head for Chengdu.
Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong welcomed into Mianzhu. Someone reported to Shu general Liu Han. Ma Han brought the Han army to him. Zhao Yun said, "I am willing to capture these two people!" After that, he got on the horse and took the troops out.
Liu Bei was entertaining Ma Chao in the city. Before the banquet was fully prepared, Zhao Yun had already cut off the heads of the two and presented them to Liu Bei.
Ma Chao was very surprised when he saw it and respected Liu Bei even more.
Ma Chao said: "There is no need for the lord to go to Chengdu to fight. I personally call out Liu Zhang. If I refuse to surrender, my younger brother Ma Dai and I will take down Chengdu together and offer it to you with both hands!"
Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this and held a banquet every day to celebrate.
After returning to Yizhou, the defeated army reported the situation to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang was very surprised and could only stay away. Suddenly, someone reported that it was Ma Chao's rescuers from the north of the city that arrived. Only then did Liu Zhang dare to go up to the city wall to check the situation.
Seeing Ma Chao and Ma Dai standing under the city wall, he shouted: "Please come out and answer."
Liu Zhang asked on the city wall, and Ma Chao pointed at Liu Zhang with a whip and said, "I originally brought the troops sent by Zhang Lu to rescue Yizhou, but unfortunately Zhang Lu believed the slander of the villain Yang Song and in turn plotted against me. , I have surrendered to Liu Bei now, you can also surrender to avoid suffering from the creatures. If you are still obsessed with it, I will prepare to attack your city!"
After hearing this, Liu Zhang was very angry and fainted on the city wall. Everyone stepped forward to rescue him. Liu Zhang said, "My unwise is very late to regret now. Why not open the door and surrender directly to avoid the people following us. ”
Dong He said: "There are more than 30,000 soldiers in the city, and money and food can still be controlled for a year. How can you surrender now?"
Liu Zhang said: "We father and son have been in Shu for more than 20 years. We have no kindness to the people. After three years of attack, the bodies have been parked in the wild. It is all my sins. How can I feel safe. What about? It’s better to surrender and appease the people.”
After hearing this, everyone shed tears. Suddenly, one person said, "The lord's words are exactly in line with the meaning of heaven." Everyone looked at it and said, "The man was from Xichong, Brazil, and his surname was Qiao, his name was Zhou, and his name was Yunnan. He is a famous person in the city who is proficient in astronomy.
Liu Zhang further asked, "Why do you say that?"
Reply: "I looked at the celestial phenomena at night and saw many stars gathering around Shu County. The light of the big star was like the sun. It was a scene that only emperors had. Moreover, there were rumors a year ago. , If you want to have a new meal, you must wait until the new lord arrives. This is a sign, don’t go against the will of heaven!”
After hearing this, Huang Quan and Liu Ba were very angry and were about to kill him. Liu Zhang blocked him and suddenly received a report: Xu Jing, the prefect of Shu County, bypassed the city and surrendered to Liu Bei. After hearing this, Liu Zhang cried and returned to his residence. .
On the second day, someone reported that Liu Bei sent Mubin Jian to call under the gate of Yongcheng. Liu Zhang ordered the door to open to greet him. He sat in the car, looking proud.
Suddenly, a man pulled out his sword and shouted: "The villain is successful. If there is no one else, would you still dare to despise our heroes in Shu!"
Jian Yong hurriedly got out of the car to greet him. The man was from Mianzhu, Guanghan, with his surname and name Mi, and his courtesy name Zichi.
Jian Yong smiled and said, "I didn't recognize my brother, please don't blame me!"
