Self-cultivation of bad people can be done automatically

Chapter 236 Li Maozhen

However, even if Wang Yan fled back to Chengdu, it would not be a big deal.

Because the surrendered generals of the Shu Kingdom have almost given away the land in the northeast of the Kingdom of Shu.

The demise of the Kingdom of Shu is a certainty!

And just then came the news.

Liu Po, the governor of Jiangzhou, has already broken through Kuizhou in the east.

Presumably, he will soon be able to march westward and join forces with Zhu Youning.

But Zhu Youning had no intention of waiting for Liu Po.

On the contrary, his desire to attack is stronger.

At this time, the army had captured Lizhou, and Zhu Youning counted the surrendered soldiers kneeling all over the city, eliminated those who were too old or too young, and incorporated all the rest into his team.

Afterwards, the [-]-strong army marched towards Chengdu.

On the way of the army's conquest, it was as expected.

During the two days of the march, civil and military officials from the Shu Kingdom successively came to Daliang Zhongjun to surrender.

Some of them were received by Zhu Youning, while others were handled by officials from the Qianying Military Mansion of the Great Army.

In just two days, the cities north of Chengdu hardly resisted and surrendered one after another.

Zhu Youning occupied two-thirds of Shu's territory almost without bloodshed, and the army arrived at Lutou Pass.

Lutou Pass is an important defensive area of ​​Xichuan.

It is located on Lutou Mountain, 150 miles north of Hanzhou, and [-] miles south of Chengdu. It is the main road between the east and west rivers.

It can be said that if Lutouguan falls, Chengdu can drive straight in.

However, Lutou Pass stands on the mountain, and the terrain is dangerous. There were soldiers and horses stationed in the Tang Dynasty, so it is impossible for the State of Shu not to pay attention to it.

Logically speaking, Lutou Pass is difficult to capture.

However, the trend of surrender in the Kingdom of Shu became more and more popular, so the soldiers stationed at Lutou Pass also lost their morale.

Those big officials have surrendered, and there are only 1000 of them. What's the use of staying here?
Therefore, Liang Jun only attacked for half an hour, and the defenders of Lutou Pass also surrendered voluntarily.

After passing the Lutou Pass, there is still about 150 miles away from Chengdu.

However, there are official roads leading directly along the way, so it is not difficult to walk.

On the contrary, he walked faster!
Because along the way, people from the Kingdom of Shu welcomed them with food pots and pulp, and these people even helped them carry their military equipment!

Most of the common people in Shu were actually oppressed.

From the mouths of the people in Shu, Zhu Youning knew Wang Yan's virtue.

Robbing the daughters of thousands of people, playing with the wives and daughters of ministers, exercising corvee service, sharing court ladies with close ministers, etc.
It's simply obscenity to the extreme!
Therefore, most people have no sense of belonging to the Shu Kingdom, and even trust the Liang Kingdom more, and are more willing to be ruled by the legendary Emperor Zhenlong who bestowed jade seals.

Of course, the common people have these ideas, thanks to the blessings of newspapers and other public opinion.

mid-July.

Liang Jun's army besieged Chengdu.

But facing the army like mountains and seas, there was one person in Chengdu who took it indifferently.

He stood on the tower, quietly listening to the noise below the city.

This person is tall and straight, with a high hair crown, wearing a luxurious robe, and the whole person just stands there quietly.

And the most striking thing is that on the back of his hand, there is actually a very strange totem engraved.

This kind of totem does not originate from the Central Plains at first glance, but seems to come from Raojiang.

Of course, what is even more peculiar is the person's double pupils.

His pupils are actually gold on the left and red on the right, two colors!
Such a peculiar feature was reflected in him alone, which immediately made his sense of mystery and strangeness reach the extreme.

At this time, a person wearing a royal robe suddenly approached from behind.

"King Qiqi, do you really have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Li Maozhen looked at the scene below without looking back.

"So what? What if you don't?"

Wang Yan touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "If King Qi helps me repel the Liang soldiers, I will definitely reward you a lot."

Li Maozhen snorted coldly, and said: "When Wang Jian was here, he often competed with this king, and he was considered a hero! How did you give birth to a son like you!"

Wang Yan, a dignified emperor, remained silent after being reprimanded.

At this time, Li Maozhen asked again: "You said that Qi State has surrendered to Liang State, is this true?"

Wang Yandao: "Can this be false? Liang Guo swallowed Lulong, destroyed Wu and Jin, and merged with Qi State. There are 360 ​​states in the world, and more than 200 states have been returned to Liang State."

Hearing this, Li Maozhen lowered her head slightly.

"This king has only been away for 16 years. How could this world have become like this?"

Li Maozhen murmured in a low voice, feeling the vicissitudes of life.

16 years ago, when Li Maozhen had just left Qi State for Twelve Caves, the world was torn apart, the feudal towns were separated, and kings everywhere.

And 16 years later, it turned out that Liang Guo's soldiers were strong and strong, and he was about to unify the country.

This is really unbelievable.

Suddenly, he asked again: "Why did the State of Qi submit to the State of Liang?"

Wang Yan was taken aback, and said, "Didn't you donate the Qi Kingdom on your own initiative? Last year, you bowed your head to the Emperor Liang and merged the entire Qi Kingdom into the territory of Liang Kingdom. The Emperor Liang also granted you the Duke of Qin." !"

After speaking, Wang Yan continued: "Actually, I still wonder why you came to save me since you have accepted the title of Lord Qin!"

Li Maozhen narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this.

"It seems that this burden is still too heavy for you!"

Li Maozhen obviously didn't say this to Wang Yan.

Wang Yan was confused, but he didn't intend to figure it out.

Now he is counting on Li Maozhen in front of him, so he can't inquire about his privacy at will.

At this time, Wang Yan was awakened by the sound of beating drums.

It turned out that it was Liang Jun under the city who planned to attack the city.

He immediately looked at Li Maozhen expectantly, and said, "King Qi, it depends on you whether the Kingdom of Shu can resolve the crisis this time!"

Li Maozhen glanced at him, and said coldly: "Don't worry, this king is here, those who are in collusion with traitors, those who seek to usurp the throne, and those who pervert will die!"

At the same time, the Longwu Army Government Office in the city was also discussing secret matters.

Wang Chengxiu, the commander of the Longwu Army and the envoy of the North Academy of Xuanhui, is convening his confidants to conspire and discuss.

"Nowadays, the soldiers of the Shu Kingdom are few and far between, and the isolated city is in danger. More than half of the important officials in the imperial court have surrendered. It is useless for us to hold on, it is better to surrender."

As soon as Wang Chengxiu said this, many generals present were shocked.

"My lord, do we really want to surrender?"

Wang Chengxiu said: "When I was in Lizhou, I wanted to tie up that stupid king and present it to His Majesty the Emperor of Liang, but Li Maozhen suddenly appeared on the way, so I gave up."

All the generals looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally said together: "My lord, please tell me, I will follow you!"

These generals are all relatives of Wang Chengxiu, who were specially promoted by him.

Although Wang Chengxiu was an eunuch, he left the palace with a knife after entering the palace.

Otherwise he would not have a wife.

After he entered the palace, relying on Wang Yan's special favor for his wife, he gradually placed all his nephews into the imperial army.

Although these descendants and nephews accounted for only about one-fifth of the Longwu Army of the Forbidden Army, together with Wang Chengxiu, the commander of the Longwu Army, he was also a considerable force in the Longwu Army.

"Li Yan, the Hakka Provincial Envoy of Liang State, is my old friend, so you don't have to worry about what will happen after the surrender. But we can't just surrender empty-handed."

A general suddenly said in a low voice: "Does your lord mean to capture Wang Yanjin and offer Liangjun?"

Wang Chengxiu shook his head, and said: "The stupid king is currently staying next to Li Maozhen, and Li Maozhen's strength is unfathomable, we must not act rashly."

As he spoke, Wang Chengxiu's voice suddenly became lower.

"So my suggestion is to rob and relocate the Empress Dowager, the concubines and the kings, and place them in the West Palace, and imprison them together, and then collect the national treasures, and the inner treasury, gold and silk, and dedicate them to Liang Jun!"
