Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

"Master Huizhou Mu, Fazheng led Gao Shun's army to capture Mianzhu at night, and all the army was captured, including the guilty general. General Zhang Ren died in battle on the spot."

Hearing that the beloved general Zhang Ren died in battle, Liu Zhang's face showed pain, and his whole body softened even more.

"Hey hey... Then why did you appear here, but came to persuade you to surrender?"

Seeing Liu Zhang slowing down for a while, Li Yan let out a strange smile in a cold voice, Li Yan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhou Mu, you will be captured and have no choice but to surrender. You were sent by Gao Shun to persuade you to surrender. No, I am willing to lead the soldiers to die on the battlefield, and I have shown my loyalty."

Although he didn't know how credible Li Yan's words were, Liu Zhang still raised his spirits, but then shook his head slightly.

"That's all. Since Zhang took Yizhou Mu, there have been constant rebellions in various places. Even a member of his father can occupy the Hanzhong separatist regime. In turn, he bullies the master. Maybe he is really not suitable for this position."

"Tell me, what conditions did they promise?"

Hearing this, Li Yan felt relieved a lot, pretending to be loyal and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, there are tens of thousands of elites in Chengdu, why bother..."

Liu Zhang interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Speaking of business, these Honshu pastors have their own choices, and you don't need to persuade them."

Seeing that Liu Zhang was so decisive, Li Yan stopped pretending and said, "They promised that as long as the state shepherd surrenders, the family's prosperity and wealth will be preserved, and there will be no danger of life."

Liu Zhang had already guessed this, and asked slowly, "Is this Gao Shun's meaning, or Li Shu's, or Li Huiyi's meaning?"

This……?

Li Yan has never even met the two behind, so how could he know if it was their intention, but right now he can only fool around.

"It was Li Shu, the daughter of the general Li Huiyi, who personally promised, Master Zhou Mu, don't worry."

"Yes." Liu Zhang said blankly, "Okay, then you go back and tell her to come to Chengdu in person, otherwise Benzhou Mu will never surrender."

So straightforward, Li Yan couldn't believe it for a while, and the draft that had been prepared for a long time also became empty.

But it's okay to be straightforward, anyway, if the task is completed, if there is any danger to his life, Li Yan hurriedly agreed, left Chengdu in a hurry, and rushed to Gaoshun.

As soon as Li Yan left, Liu Zhang summoned all the officials under his command to formally discuss the matter of surrender.

When these ministers learned that Mianzhu had fallen and Liu Zhang wanted to surrender, they were so frightened and uneasy for a while.

Seeing this, Wu Yi stood up and said, "Lord Zhou Mu, the victory is not yet decided, how can you surrender so easily? There is still a general Ling Bao stationed in Luocheng, and there are tens of thousands of elites in the city, and food can be supplied even more." The army has eaten for several years, although the general is not as good as General Zhang, I hope to lead an elite army to fight to the death with Li Jun."

The Wu family is the leading family in Yizhou. If they can help each other sincerely, it is not impossible to keep Chengdu.

But Liu Zhang didn't report too much hope for this. If there is another rebellion, I'm afraid he will be hit harder.

Liu Zhang shook his head and said: "When the soldiers approach the city, the battle between trapped beasts will only increase the casualties and cause the people to suffer innocent disasters. Since the people have not been kind to the people, they can't be hurt any more."

Liu Zhang's words are equivalent to those of a dying person, with good intentions.

Chapter 758

Hearing Liu Zhang's words, Huang Quan stood up and said, "Master Zhou Mu has made a decision, and Quan is not going to persuade him, but we still need to reserve a way out, so as not to be liquidated at that time."

Liu Zhang glanced at Huang Quan, nodded and said, "Mu Benzhou has plans. When Li Shu arrives, he will swear a heavy oath in front of the army."

Seeing that Liu Zhang had made up his mind, no one tried to persuade him any more, but some people had planned to retire and wait for the situation to become clear before deciding whether to become an official.

The news reached Li Shu's ears, and she couldn't help rushing to Chengdu to prepare to accept Liu Zhang's surrender.

A few days later, Li Shu joined Gao Shun, marched to the city of Chengdu, and met Liu Zhang for the first time.

He is heroic and handsome, and his eyebrows do not give way to women. This is Liu Zhang's first impression of Li Shu.

Looking carefully, Liu Zhang shouted to the city: "In order to save Yizhou from the disaster of war, Zhang is willing to surrender. I don't know what you promised earlier, but it counts?"

Li Shu understood that Liu Zhang meant that he wanted to make a promise in front of the public so that he could save his life in the future.

Yuan Shao and his ilk, my father can let them go, how can Li Shu care about mere Liu Zhang.

"Liu Zhoumu don't worry, as long as he opens the city gate and surrenders, Shu'er guarantees with his life that he will never slaughter anyone. As for the Zhoumu clan, they can enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."

Li Shu's promise was great news for those aristocratic families in Yizhou, and it made them let go of their fears.

Now that Li Shu had promised, Liu Zhang was no longer greedy for his position, and personally led the civil and military forces in Chengdu, and opened the door to surrender and greet him.

Following Liu Zhang's surrender, the forces under his command had no choice but to surrender after receiving orders. Although there were some resisters, they were conquered one by one as Wei Yan and others arrived one after another, and Yizhou completely fell into the territory of Li Huiyi's forces.

In order to stabilize the rule, after half a year of stability, Li Shu discussed with Jia Xu many times, and began to act quietly, transferring all officials from aristocratic families to empty positions, and promoted some poor families and ordinary people.

The reason why the aristocratic family became the cancer of imperial rule, and even the downfall of a dynasty, was that they had the opportunity to touch the military power and control the entire court.

Without these, their existence is still a good thing for a dynasty, because they have huge wealth, which can be absorbed by the ruler at any time.

What Li Shu did was to remove the dross of the aristocratic family and leave behind the useful essence.

Although the aristocratic family is also aware of it, there is no way to deal with this situation. They can only tolerate it temporarily and wait for the opportunity. After all, their ancestors have always dealt with it this way.

To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled, and the internal problems are resolved. Li Shu set his sights on the barbarian tribes and prepared to conquer.

On this day, Li Shu summoned the civil and military forces under his command to hold a discussion and prepare to use troops.

After taking power for half a year, Li Shu has developed a sense of superiority, which gives people a feeling of calm and prestige.

In charge, Li Shu looked around and said, "Everyone, Yizhou has returned to normal, and the state's herdsmen want to subdue the barbarians in the south and middle areas, so as to permanently eliminate the hidden dangers of alien races in the south."

After Li Shu took down Yizhou, he was appointed as Yizhou pastor by Li Huiyi. Although he didn't get the emperor's edict, for these people, it was justified.

Fazheng, Jia Xu's subordinate, heard this, stood up and said: "Master Zhou Mu, Nanzhong is desolate, and the weather is bad. If a large army is dispatched, I am afraid that it will cause non-combat casualties. The best policy is to show courtesy first and then soldiers."

"Yes." Li Shu nodded and said: "Sending people is inevitable, but the conditions don't need to be too high, and the attitude doesn't need to be too good. In a word, surrender can keep the family safe, and fight to destroy the family."

Li Shu is a daughter, but she is not soft-hearted at all, and if she speaks out, she will exterminate the family.

Hearing this, Fazheng was a little embarrassed, thought for a while and said: "It's so tough, I'm afraid the barbarians will turn against them, why not stabilize them first, and then slowly eat away at them."

It is not unreasonable for Fazheng to be worried. If the Southern Expedition fails, I am afraid that these aristocratic families in Yizhou who have been suppressed will definitely take the opportunity to revive. At that time, half a year of hard work may be in vain.

But Li Shu's thinking is also simple. In her eyes, she should treat foreigners like her father, and teach them a bloody lesson if they don't obey.

Li Shuxiu frowned, obviously a little displeased with Fazheng and timid, but because of his face, he still endured it.

"Okay, then the matter of persuading the surrender is left to the gentleman. In order to ensure the safety of the gentleman, the state pastor sent Yanyun Eighteen Riders to escort the gentleman there."

Li Shu seemed to be compromising, but in fact it had another meaning, that is, because of Yan Yun's eighteen spirits, Fazheng realized that his side was powerful, and he no longer handled affairs from the perspective of assisting Liu Zhang.

"Yes, Zhengzheng will definitely live up to high expectations." Seeing Li Shu kissing him to go, Fazheng immediately took over.

Li Shu nodded, suddenly seemed to think of something. "Oh, by the way, no matter what you promise, sir, there is one thing that must be fulfilled, and that is to obey the conscription system unconditionally."

Conscription, this is a problem, but Li Shu alone can't change it.
