Liu He's severed finger was simply bandaged, but it did not stop the blood from flowing out. The blood flowed out from the wound, dyeing the white cloth wrapped in the wound blood red.
After getting off the carriage with the two soldiers, Liu He followed suit and walked to the hall of the Prefecture Mufu.
Since Liu Yan passed away, Zhao Wei often had to deal with things, so Zhao Wei lived in the Prefectural Mufu Mansion and rarely returned to his original residence. Liu He and two soldiers stood in the hall, waiting for the servants of the mansion to notify Zhao Wei.
骪.
Not long after, Zhao Wei came to the hall.
Zhao Wei glanced at Liu He and was shocked when he saw Liu He's face was pale and his clothes were stained with blood.
Looking carefully, he saw that the little finger of Liu He's left hand was bright red, leaving only a bare section. Seeing this, Zhao Wei stepped forward and comforted: "Liu He, thank you for your hard work!"
One sentence made Liu He burst into tears.
Zhao Wei sat down on the main seat and asked: "How is the situation going to Hanzhong Military Camp?"
Liu He cupped his hands and spoke in detail.
When he arrived at the Hanzhong military camp, he waited outside the camp for an hour, then entered the camp and was intimidated by Wang Can. Finally, because he made Zhao Wei's suggestion, Wang Can became angry, and Wang Can sent soldiers to cut off one of his fingers. Finally, he was
Wang Can sent people out of the camp and returned to Chengdu.
After finishing speaking, Liu He gritted his teeth and said: "General, Wang Can is lawless and extremely arrogant. When we calm down and regain our strength, we will capture Wang Can, cut him into five pieces, and execute him in Lingchi."
Zhao Wei sighed and said: "I also wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood, but when the troops come to the city, eh...!"
Liu He asked: "General, Wang Can asked you to reconsider the terms of negotiation. What should you do now?"
Zhao Wei looked sad and angry, and said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, what can we do? We can only open the city gate and surrender."
After hearing this, Liu He had a sad and angry look on his face, and he didn't know how to deal with Wang Can. Take for example the fact that he volunteered to see Wang Can. His original intention was to save the situation in Chengdu, but he couldn't say a word in his heart.
Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he was also humiliated by Wang Can and had one of his fingers chopped off, which made Liu He very painful.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhao Wei glanced at Liu He and shouted loudly.
Outside the hall, a soldier quickly ran in, cupped his hands and said: "General!"
Zhao Wei ordered: "Immediately go and invite Ren An to the Prefecture Mufu's Mansion. Tell me that I have something important to discuss with you. The matter is urgent and you must invite Mr. Ren to the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion."
"promise!"
The soldier responded, turned and left.
Liu He looked at the soldiers leaving with a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he said: "General, if you invite Mr. Ren to come, do you still want to send Wang Can as envoy?"
"Yes!" Zhao Wei nodded, with a helpless look on his face, and said: "Both you and Mr. Ren were sent to Wang Can as envoys, but Mr. Ren was safe and sound, but you were seriously injured after one of your fingers was cut off by Wang Can.
Comparing the two, it is enough to prove that Mr. Ren has outstanding abilities and is more suitable to be sent as an envoy to Wang Can. I intend to let Mr. Ren go as an envoy to Wang Can and surrender to Wang Can."
Liu He thought for a moment and said, "General, I want to go with Mr. Ren. Please agree, General."
"You still want to go?"
Zhao Wei showed a surprised look and said: "Liu He, one of your fingers was cut off by Wang Can. There was a lot of blood on your finger. You are weak and have not yet recovered. If you follow Mr. Ren as an envoy to Wang Can, will you be able to sustain it?"
ah?"
Liu He looked determined and said: "General, please agree!"
Zhao Wei nodded and said: "Okay, you and Ren An will go as envoys to Wang Can." At this point, Zhao Wei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing an intriguing smile, and said: "My original intention was to have you as an envoy, but
Now that you are injured, I am afraid that your body cannot support you, so you can only serve as Ren An's deputy."
Liu He's eyes twitched and he said: "General, I broke one of my fingers because of my humble duty. I only suffered a minor injury. It's not a problem."
Zhao Wei didn't believe it and asked, "Is it really not a problem?"
Liu He nodded decisively and said: "General, it's okay to be in a humble position!"
Zhao Wei said: "Okay, since you insist, I will let you serve as the envoy, and Ren An will be your deputy. However, Ren An has experience, and you should listen to his opinions more, which will be good for you."
"Thank you, General!" Liu He replied loudly, with a happy look on his face.
Wang Can's mission this time was different from last time. This time he was going to surrender and he would not be harshly criticized by Wang Can.
As Zhao Wei's envoy to Wang Can, he would have more opportunities to contact Wang Can, and maybe he would be given some benefits after Wang Can captured Chengdu.
Half an hour later, Ren An rushed to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion.
Ren An, with fluttering clothes, strode into the hall, bowed to Zhao Wei and said: "Meet the general!"
"Sir, please sit down!" Zhao Wei waved his hand and said: "Mr. Ren, Wang Can's army is so powerful that it is difficult to resist the troops approaching the city. I am ready to surrender to Wang Can. I hope that Mr. Ren will serve as an envoy to Wang Can. However, this time, the envoy will be sent to Wang Can.
Wang Can, with Liu He as his envoy and your husband as Liu He's deputy, hope that the two of you will cooperate sincerely to complete this mission."
Ren An thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go there again."
Zhao Wei heard this and said with a smile: "You two have a day's rest and will go to the Hanzhong military camp tomorrow morning. After you two meet with Wang Can, I will tell you that I am ready to open the city to surrender and hope that Wang Can will enter the city to accept the surrender."
"No!" Liu He and Zhao Wei answered with cupped hands.
After handling the matter, Zhao Wei waved his hand and sent Zhao Wei and Ren An away.
After the two people left, Zhao Wei turned his head and looked at the corner of the hall and said, "Mr. Wang, come out."
As he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a handsome face and a black robe walked out from the corner of the hall. This man was none other than Wang Shang, who once advised Zhao Wei to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. After he strode out,
He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "General Zhao, you have sent an envoy to see Wang Can again. I believe Wang Can will not be suspicious."
Zhao Wei nodded and said: "The situation is complicated. Without Mr. Wang's help, Wei doesn't know what to do."
Wang Shang smiled and said: "Whether it is successful or not depends on tomorrow."
…
Early the next morning, Ren An and Liu He took a carriage and rushed to the Hanzhong military camp.
This time, the two of them entered the camp directly without encountering any obstruction.
As Liu He's deputy, Ren An followed Liu He and kept silent, letting Liu He handle everything.
The two entered the tent together and bowed respectfully to Wang Can. The first two times, when Ren An and Liu He were on their missions, Zhao Wei still wanted to resist resolutely and did not want to surrender to Wang Can. Now Zhao Wei gave up resistance and wanted to
To open the city gate to welcome Wang Can, he was already a surrendered minister of Wang Can, so they both bowed and saluted.
However, the expressions of Ren An and Liu He were very different.
Not only did Liu He not bear any grudge against Wang Can, but there was a sense of flattery in his behavior. Ren An stood in the tent, his expression indifferent, without any change.
Wang Can motioned the two of them to sit down and asked, "Mr. Ren, what did Zhao Wei send you to do?"
Ren An didn't speak. He raised his head and glanced at Liu He, then narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing this, Liu He straightened his clothes, straightened his body, and said: "Mr. Ren and I went to see Governor Wang together. We were entrusted by General Zhao. General Zhao said that Governor Wang was wise, powerful, talented, and willing to surrender voluntarily." Lord Taishou, we are also preparing to open the gate of Chengdu to welcome the general into the city."
Wang Can was a little strange and asked: "Zhao Wei was still thinking of resisting yesterday, so why did he surrender today?"
Thinking of the previous two conditions, Wang Can was filled with doubts.
Ren An and Liu He came to visit and both proposed different conditions. Wang Guojia believed that Zhao Wei was testing Wang Can's bottom line. Now it seems that Zhao Wei's purpose should be more than this, otherwise he would not suddenly surrender.
Liu He said: "Reporting to the Grand Administrator, General Zhao knew he was outmatched, so he chose to surrender!"
After Wang Can heard this, he didn't believe it.
He glanced at Ren An and saw that Ren An squinted his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to rest, while Liu He looked humble, with a flattering look on his face. Wang Can did not continue to ask, and said: "Zhao Wei surrendered, this prefect is very Happy, you go back and tell him that I will lead the troops into the city tomorrow, and then he will appear at the north gate, open the city gate, and let my army enter the city."
"promise!"
Liu He and Ren An responded, immediately saluted Wang Can, and then left.
After the two left, Wang Can immediately found someone under Wang Yue who was investigating the situation and asked him to contact Jia Long to determine whether Zhao Wei really surrendered?
In the evening, news came back from the city. Jia Long said that Zhao Wei really surrendered and there was no conspiracy. Although Wang Can had doubts in his heart, he did not doubt the authenticity of Jia Long's news. Wang Can thought that he would enter tomorrow Chengdu, found Guo Jia and Xun You and told them about Zhao Wei's surrender.
After hearing this, both of them were very happy.
Xun You cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, my lord, after taking Chengdu, the other counties and counties will lose the backbone of resistance. Yizhou is settled!"
Guo Jia also clapped his hands in celebration and congratulated Wang Can for winning Chengdu.
…
In the early morning, the sky was bright and clear, and a wisp of autumn wind blew, which was cool and very pleasant.
The Hanzhong army broke out and marched towards Chengdu. When they arrived at the north gate of Chengdu, the army stopped.
Wang Can rode a black horse and stood in front. On the left and right sides were Zhao Yun, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. Behind him were Lu Meng, Guo Jia and Xun You. All the Hanzhong soldiers followed closely behind, with great momentum. This surprised the Yizhou soldiers in the tower and secretly praised Wang Can's soldiers as elite men.
Zhao Wei walked out of the city with a thorn stick on his back. He walked up to Wang Can, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed with his head, and bowed to the ground, saying: "Zhao Wei, the sinner, pays homage to Wang Can."
"Meet the Governor Wang!"
After Zhao Wei knelt down, all the civil and military officers who followed Zhao Wei knelt down and saluted.
Seeing this, Wang Can quickly dismounted from his horse, helped Zhao Wei up, and said: "General Zhao is handsome and outstanding. Wang Can has known it for a long time. Now that General Zhao has reined in his horse and surrendered, it is a great achievement. What crime is there? Get up, get up!" After Wang Can helped Zhao Wei up, he asked the other civil and military officials to get up.
Zhao Wei showed a grateful look and said: "Sir, I have hosted a banquet at the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. Please invite me!"
Wang Can nodded, waved his sleeves, and walked at the front. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang followed Wang Can closely and walked to the Prefecture Mufu. The rest of the Hanzhong Army were taken to the school grounds in the city by Zhao Yun to settle down.
Zhao Wei followed Wang Can and led Yizhou's civil and military officers to the Prefecture Mufu.
A banquet has already been arranged in the Prefectural Mufu's Mansion.
After everyone entered the hall, the guests and hosts took their seats and waited for Wang Can to speak.
