Zhang Xiu had given instructions that it would be best to capture Zhang Ren alive. Now that the purpose has been achieved, Xu Shu certainly would not kill Zhang Ren. However, considering Yan Yan's previous lessons.

Xu Shu asked his personal soldiers to take Zhang Ren down, make a prison car, and send Zhang Ren to Luocheng to see Zhang Xiu. He also carefully told his personal soldiers that he would not leave him and not let Zhang Ren commit suicide.

After seeing Zhang Ren away, things were easy to handle.

After Xu Shu raised his head and watched for a while, he said to Gongsun Kang and Meng Da: "Two generals. Zhang Ren has been captured alive by me, and Liu Yan has no support anymore. Why don't we do it and never stop. General Gongsun, you lead your troops here to take care of Zhang Ren's remaining soldiers. I will go south together with General Meng Da to attack Chengdu."

"If we can win Chengdu, we will be the first to do it."

At this moment, Zhang Ren's remaining soldiers were basically controlled.

Attacking Chengdu is no longer within the scope of Xu Shu and the other three. However, these three people are full of energy and dare to fight and fight, and Zhang Xiu did not allow them to go south to Chengdu.

After Xu Shu finished speaking, Gongsun Kang and Meng Da were all excited and agreed.

"promise."

Afterwards, Xu Shu and Meng Da led more than 10,000 elite soldiers under their command and headed straight to Chengdu on Huaniu Road.

............

Since Zhang Xiu attacked Luocheng, unfavorable news has been coming. Chengdu has been in chaos and everyone who can go out has escaped.

Liu Yanfu, in the hall.

Liu Yan and Zheng Du are talking.

"Chengdu must not be able to defend it anymore. I have to leave the city immediately and go south to Nanzhong to avoid disaster. How do you make a decision?"

Liu Yan had already made a decision, but at this moment he was a little calm and asked with his hands.

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the slander knows the loyal ministers. Now, Zheng Du is the only loyal minister in Chengdu, and he doesn't want to give up on the other party.

Like Zhang Ren, he just planned to go to Nanzhong to avoid disaster. He wanted to kill him when the time was right.

"Of course I will go south with my lord." Zheng Du said firmly.

"Sir, I am a loyal man." Liu Yan was very moved, stood up and grabbed Zheng Du's hands and said.

At this moment, a small official hurried in from outside and reported to Liu Yan with an ugly face: "Report to the lord. General Zhang walked to the vicinity of Qingzhu Mountain on his way back, and was captured alive by Xu Shu and others. Now Xu Shu is leading his troops south and heading straight to Chengdu."

Liu Yan and Zheng Du were both panicked and stunned.

"What did you say?" Liu Yan's voice trembled.

The little official had no choice but to say it again.

Liu Yan felt dizzy and took several steps back, fell back to his main seat and sat down. He murmured to himself: "Without Zhang Ren's help, I can't control the army."

It is of course a way to go south to avoid chaos in the south. But whether you can fight back requires the army. Someone has given advice.

Zheng Du is the leader and Zhang Ren is a general. As long as he leads tens of thousands of elite troops to Nanzhong, he can wait for an opportunity to move. However, without Zhang Ren, he would not say that he could not control the army at all, but he could only say that he was powerless.

Zhang Ren is a banner with a very high prestige. Only with Zhang Ren can you control the army.

"Master, can't delay any longer, leave immediately. When Xu Shu comes, we may be captured by this person alive." Zheng Du took a deep breath, barely calmed down, and persuaded him.

They don’t have a general around them now, and there are only 30,000 defenders in the city, including 10,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 new soldiers. They are very unreliable. As long as they are caught up by Xu Shu, they will be in the jar.

Not to mention defending the city, it is possible that someone will open the city gate and sell them all at night.

Now Zhang Xiu not only attacked Bazhong, but also captured Luocheng. Everyone knows that Liu Yan is over and hopes to sell Liu Yan for a good price.

"Let's go, go immediately." Liu Yan woke up and said quickly. Then, there was a storm. During this period, Liu Yan had moved most of his descendants away. However, there were still a huge number of people in the mansion, some people walked together, and some people did not follow him.

Starting from Liu Yan's mansion, the whole city was completely in chaos. Soon after, Liu Yan led Zheng Du and others, as well as 30,000 troops in the city, to walk through the southern city gate.

On the way, many generals led the army left without saying goodbye. Only five thousand people were actually taken out, which was miserable.

By the time Xu Shu and Meng Da entered Chengdu, Liu Yan had already escaped for a day and a half. The two of them decided for a while and did not pursue him.

They gathered together only 800 cavalry. Moreover, the more complex the terrain went south, I didn’t know whether the people from the counties in the south would support Liu Yan. If the troops from the counties in the south appeared, they would catch them off guard.

This is really impossible to chase.

After the two entered the city, they appeased the descending generals and civil servants, and sent people to the north to convey the message to Zhang Xiu.

............

Luocheng.

The granary burned by Zhang Ren was cleaned up, but there were still traces of coke. Zhang Xiu's army's food and food also needed to be transported from Bazhong.

The city was full of soldiers wearing armor and spears, but the people's production order was restored.

On the one hand, Xun You did a good job, and on the other hand, Zhang Xiu's army did not harm the people, which gave the people some confidence in the court.

In the temporary Grand Sima Mansion, Zhang Xiu and Xun You sat and talked. Dian Wei walked in from outside and reported: "Ming Gong Xu Shusheng captured Zhang Ren, and while sending Zhang Ren to Luocheng, he went south by himself."

Zhang Xiu was not surprised after hearing this. The soldiers were very fast. Chengdu was already empty after successfully capturing Zhang Ren alive. Xu Shu was wise to go south to Chengdu.

"Invite General Zhang in." Zhang Xiu cared about Zhang Ren even more and said with a smile.

"No." Dian Wei Yingnuo said, turned around and went out. Not long after, he took Zhang Ren in. Zhang Ren did not commit suicide, nor did he go on a hunger strike. He was wearing a black brocade robe, with bright and energetic eyes, and his aura did not weaken due to defeat.

Zhang Xiu was happy when he saw this. Could it be that Zhang Ren had the intention to surrender?

"General Zhang is a true general of the bear and tiger. I am very lucky to see him today." Zhang Xiu bowed his hands and said with a smile without waiting for Zhang Ren to speak.

Zhang Ren also looked at Zhang Xiu up and down, and then said seriously: "It's not as good as the Grand Sima. The Grand Sima is so powerful that it is invincible in the world. I am well-known. It's a blessing to see the Grand Sima."

When Zhang Xiu heard this, he felt even more at home and couldn't help but be happy.

Zhang Xiu first invited Zhang Ren to sit down, looked at Dian Wei who came beside him, and then said to Zhang Ren: "Now I have captured Bashu, and Chengdu Liu Yan is no longer worth worrying. He is about to sweep the world and destroy the unjust ministers. But his soldiers are few and few, and he is very worried. General Xiong Hu and the general are heroes of ten thousand people. If he can submit to the court, I will immediately award the general as a general and governor on behalf of the court."

Zhang Ren sneered when he heard this and said, "Have the Grand Sima Ke heard of [a loyal minister who does not serve the two masters]?"

This is very different from Zhang Ren's previous performance.

Zhang Xiu was very puzzled. You didn’t surrender, but you were delicious and delicious and came to see me. Why is this?

Zhang Xiu calmed down a little, frowned and said, "Of course, the loyal ministers do not serve the two lords. But today, there is only one emperor. We are all ministers of the emperor. This is the case with Liu Yan. The general is just Liu Yan's general, not a subordinate."

"I am the lord's subordinate." Zhang Ren said firmly with a stubborn look on his face.

Zhang Xiu glanced at Zhang Ren, who seemed to be stinky and hard, and felt a little disgusted. But this guy is really a rare talent.

Zhang Xiu opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say it out loud. After a moment of silence, Zhang Xiu called Ma Dai in and took Zhang Ren down.

"If you want to die, you don't have to use a sword to wipe your neck. This person comes to see me alive, but does not serve me. Why is this?"

Zhang Xiu looked puzzled and turned to ask Xun You.

"Ming Gong should go south to Chengdu right away, right?" Xun You did not answer Zhang Xiu, but instead bowed his hands expressionlessly.

"Yes. Since Xu Shu has already gone south to Chengdu, of course I will lead my army to the south." Zhang Xiu nodded and said. Although Xu Shu will not be in danger, support must also be kept up.

"Then let me stay in Luocheng and I will test Zhang Ren." Xun You bowed and said.

Zhang Xiu thought about it and found that Liu Yan was no longer in a state of affairs. Besides, he still has many great counselors. The newcomer Sima Yi is very active recently, and the lack of Xun You is nothing.

And Zhang Ren also wants to be of great use.

"Okay. Sir, I'll be in Luocheng." Zhang Xiu nodded and responded.

After handing over Zhang Ren's matter to Xun You, Zhang Xiu asked Dian Wei to pass the order, and the entire army immediately packed their bags and headed south to Chengdu.

Three days later.

Zhang Xiu arrived outside the north city gate of Chengdu. Xu Shu, Gongsun Kang and Meng Da led officials from all over the country to the north city gate to welcome Zhang Xiu.

"Ming Gong."

Zhang Xiu turned over and dismounted, looked around at everyone without neglecting. He asked with a smile: "Which one is Zhang Biejia."

"Report to Mr. Ming. The lower official is Zhang Song." Zhang Song was a little surprised, but also a little surprised. He hurriedly went out to pay homage to Zhang Xiu.

However, Zhang Xiu just wanted to see Zhang Song's appearance, and had no other intentions. Then, he comforted Zhang Song and the Bashu officials present, and led Dian Wei, Ma Dai and others into Chengdu City and occupied Liu Yan's mansion.

.............

As Zhang Xiu successfully took over Chengdu, Chengdu quickly restored order. The families who escaped from Chengdu before returned to their original mansions.

The whole of Chengdu is thriving.

Zhang Xiu seemed to have no intention of making drastic rectifications in Yizhou. This made the Yizhou gentry very happy.

Before this, Liu Yan had been relying on the scholars of Dongzhou and generals who supported him to control Yizhou. The relationship between Liu Yan and the Yizhou clan was not only as powerful as water and fire, but also as good as the gods.

Don’t let Zhang Song take care of Liu Yan, but in fact he is on the side of the local gentry in Yizhou.

Now that Zhang Xiu has driven Liu Yan away, he does not manage the matter in Yizhou very much. This is beneficial to the Yizhou gentry.

night.

Don't go to Zhang Song's mansion, in the study.

The candle was full of fire, which made the entire study very bright. Zhang Song, who was short and slightly ugly, sat in the main seat, and his brother Zhang Su knelt opposite him.

"Brother Su. Now the Grand Sima treats the Yizhou gentry very peacefully, which is really gratifying. I plan to go further. I ask the Grand Sima to migrate all the Dongzhou scholars who migrated into Bashu due to the war to return to their original hometowns. What do you think?"

Zhang Song stretched out his right hand and pinched his beard, and said to Zhang Su in a deep voice.

This is the pain of all the scholars in Yizhou. Originally, the people of Yizhou managed Yizhou, and their families lived a very prosperous life. The scholars in Dongzhou represented by Pang Xi entered Yizhou.
