There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Liu Zhang patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and said: "You should listen to me about this matter. I thought about it just now. Even if we can hold on to this city for a while, can we still hold on to it forever? Sooner or later we will lose it." , instead of throwing it to the potter, it is better to give it to the pottery, maybe I can have a good fruit, and the public can have a good future in the future, do you think I am right?"

Huang Quan's lips trembled a little: "Master, your heart...why is it so big?"

Liu Zhang ignored him, but abruptly pulled away his thigh that was held in his arms.

"Huang Quan! Don't get in the way. Get in the way of my surrender... go!"

But at this time outside the city, the pottery merchant was still swinging his horsewhip, looking at the scenery casually, feeling at ease.

Zhao Yun was beside the potter, and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister, shall we attack the city? The soldiers of the three armies are ready."

The pottery merchant shook his head and said, "Wait for a while, maybe there will be a turning point in a while."

"Turning opportunity?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously, "The Prime Minister means that Liu Zhang will surrender?"

The pottery merchant smiled slightly and said, "Just wait and see."

After another three sticks of incense, the gate of Chengdu was slowly opened.

Zhao Yun was shocked when he saw this: "You really hit the mark."

"Liu Zhang is quite knowledgeable about current affairs." The pottery merchant smiled slightly, and then said to Zhao Yun, "Let me see."

When I was young, I saw that under the protection of a group of Yizhou officials, Liu Zhang walked out on foot holding a white silk and carrying the Yizhou pastoral seal ribbon.

After a while, he walked up to the potter.

The potter on the horse looked at him quietly without moving.

"The guilty minister Liu Zhang, I have come here to accept surrender to the prime minister. I present the Chengdu household registration list and seal ribbon. Please accept it and forgive me."

The pottery merchant smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll take it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and winked at Pei Qian who was behind him.

Pei Qian stepped forward to take the seal and the file.

"As for Liu Jiyu, you are unforgivably guilty of resisting the Heavenly Soldiers and assisting the rebellion against Cao Cao and Liu Bei... I will sentence you to quarters."

"What?" Liu Zhang almost jumped three feet high when he heard the words.

His tears flowed down his cheeks, he rushed forward, hugged the potter's thigh on the horse, and cried hard: "Prime Minister, I was wrong, you can't do this! It's too much!" That's it! Well done, why kill me? What did I do wrong? I've already left the city and surrendered, and you still won't let me go!"

Pottery merchant was taken aback by Liu Zhang's sudden situation, Yan frowned as he watched Liu Zhang rubbing his trouser legs with tears and snot, and frowned in disgust.

"I'm teasing you! Why don't you know how to tease? Get up, get up! Disgusting! Fuck me all over!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhang raised his head buried in his trouser legs, and said, "Really?"

The pottery merchant sighed, nodded and said, "Of course it is true."

Liu Zhang smiled through his tears and said, "I'm just saying, the prime minister's name is Mr. Taiping, how could he do such a thing? But it's not as joking as you are. How can you be kidding me? You're kidding me I'm playing with my life."

The pottery merchant reached out to greet the soldiers behind him and asked them to prepare a war horse for Liu Zhang, and then said to him, "Mr. Liu, why don't you accompany me around this city of Chengdu. I have long heard that Chuanzhong is a paradise. It’s a big city, and it’s even more special when you think about it.”

When Liu Zhang saw that the pottery merchant invited him, he naturally followed suit. He rode on his horse and followed the pottery merchant into the city of Chengdu.

……

Soon, news from Chengdu reached Jiange.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the news to be delivered so quickly, but the potter did it on purpose.

The faster the news of Chengdu's fall spread, the more morale the defenders in the Jiange lost.

Sure enough, when the news entered the Jiange, the defenders in the Jiange began to riot.

All of a sudden, rumors spread everywhere, the morale of the military schools at all levels was sluggish, and the officers and men of the three armies all felt precarious and catastrophe was imminent.

But it was Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were hit the hardest.

The reason is naturally the same, Guan Yu died...

Zhang Fei drank heavily every day, beat the soldiers, wept bitterly for Guan Yu's death, and scolded the potters and Lu Bu.

Liu Bei was also suffering in his heart, listless, and drank his worries every day.

At this moment, Cao Cao also felt that there was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

The current situation is really puzzling.

"Besieged on all sides." Cao Cao sat in the same place in a daze, his eyes were a little loose, and he didn't know whether he was talking to Liu Bei or Cao Cao when he was talking to himself.

Liu Bei raised his head and took a sip of his wine, and said, "Brother Meng De, in your opinion, when things have come to this point, do we still have any hope of changing our fate against the sky?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's gone, completely gone. If this situation can be reversed, unless you and I are gods?"

Liu Bei sighed, and said: "Yes... unless we are gods... In that case, Brother Meng De, why don't we drive our troops to attack the enemy and fight for the last battle."

"What does Xuande mean?"

"Horizontal is death, vertical is death. Instead of such a useless death, I would rather choose to make a vigorous final fight on the battlefield!"

Cao Cao was stunned.

He didn't expect that at the end of the matter, Liu Bei would actually have more backbone than himself.

"it is good!"

When I was young, I saw Cao Cao get up suddenly, kick over the table in front of him, and said: "Liu Jiyu is not up to date, and tied his hands in front of the Tao thief. I, Cao Cao, are not such a spineless person, Mr. Xuande, we will fight the pottery. In the end, the big deal is losing this life.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Liu Bei's eye circles were also red, he sighed, stood up, cupped his hands at Cao Cao, and said: "Brother Meng De's words are very true, things have come to such a point, we don't have anything to care about now. Bei is only skin and flesh, and Yun Chang is dead, if I, as an elder brother, cannot muster all my strength to avenge my brother, I will be in vain."

Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

"Brother Xuande, the pottery merchants have already occupied Chengdu and blocked our retreat. Now the food road behind us has been cut off. If we continue to hold on to the Jiange, the result may be a doomed situation."

Liu Bei got up and said, "What does Brother Mengde mean?"

Cao Cao snorted, and said: "The left and right are already like this, so why not fight him hard, fight him hard, let's gather all the troops, return to the past as quickly as possible, and storm the Fushui Pass. A dead pottery merchant won't waste our fight."

After Liu Bei listened, he thought carefully for a while, then nodded and said: "That's very good, Tao Shang, I must kill him to avenge my second brother."

……

At the same time, the pottery merchants in Chengdu were sorting out the volumes in the city, and carefully understood the people's livelihood in Chengdu, as well as the taxation and grain production of the prefectures and counties in the Chengdu Plain.
