"Second brother, the Han army is about to break the city. What should we do? Should we surrender to the Han army?"
When he woke up, everything he planned yesterday had changed. Sima Lang was very confused.
Why is it such a coincidence? We also plan to offer the city to you, Liu Bei! Can't you wait a few days before attacking the city?
You must know that Chang'an is being attacked by the Han army at this moment. After the city is defeated, the Sima family will naturally have no credit at all. The previous letter is just a joke.
This is a difficult choice for the Sima clan.
Without the merit of surrendering, I am afraid that if I surrender, I will not be reused by Liu Bei, and even worse, the Sima clan's industry will be divided up by his old forces.
This is unacceptable.
"Brother, let's escape. Before Chang'an is lost, we'll leave the city immediately!
Let’s go to Luoyang and apply for Chu State citizenship!”
In Sima Yi's view, instead of surrendering to Liu Bei after being defeated and captured, it would be better to take the initiative to surrender to Chu.
At the very least, if you take the initiative to help, you will be taken more seriously, right?
"No! Second brother, if we leave Chang'an, wouldn't the power that our family has developed for so long be thrown away in vain?"
Sima Lang, the head of the family, refused Sima Yi's attention this time.
Although it is indeed better to surrender to the Chu State than to surrender to the Han army after being defeated and captured, what about your own family? The family has developed power for so long, the family industry, and the family has such a large population. What should I do?
Will everyone follow you to Chu State to start over?
For the clan, this is unacceptable unless it is a last resort.
"In that case, then eldest brother will take our Sima family to stay in Chang'an."
Sima Yi also understood his eldest brother's decision.
However, for the sake of his personal future, Sima Yi would never tolerate himself becoming a surrender minister.
Relying on the strategy he had in mind, Sima Yi was confident that even in the Chu Kingdom, he could still stand out and become one of the top people in the Chu Kingdom.
However, he didn't know that the Chu country was not as beautiful as he imagined, and Chu King Xiang Ji's attitude towards him was definitely not what he thought of a polite and virtuous corporal who was eager for talents.
With Sima Yi's departure, the Sima clan chose to surrender to the attacking Han army.
Chang'an, the century-old ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, finally fell into the hands of Emperor Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty.
At the same time, Wudu in Guanzhong.
"Lu Bu! I will give you a way to survive. As long as you dismount and surrender, I can guarantee that you will retain your position as King of Qin!"
Just after they captured Wudu, the Xiliang army led by Lu Bu had already arrived.
Looking at Lu Bu with an angry expression on his face, Liu Bei had never felt so high-spirited.
This idiot Lu Bu actually left the city?
After careful investigation, Liu Bei already knew the defensive strength of Chang'an City.
Now seeing the army led by Lu Bu behind him, Liu Bei almost laughed out loud.
I'm afraid there are around 60,000 to 70,000 people here, right?
With all your troops out, how many people can still defend Chang'an? I'm afraid that by this time, Zhang Ren has already conquered the fortified city of Chang'an?
"Fuck you, Liu Bei! You treacherous villain, I trust you so much, and you actually attack me secretly!?"
Hearing that Liu Bei had shamelessly asked him to surrender, Lu Bu became even more angry.
"Send the order, the whole army attacks the city, and whoever takes Liu Bei's head will be crowned king!"
Although Lu Bu himself is only the King of Qin, it is not impossible to seal off a piece of territory and make him the new king.
Being attacked by his allies, Lu Bu completely lost his mind.
Ma De, I can't defeat King Xiang Ji, how dare you, a big-eared thief, come to challenge me?
Today, I will make your head fall to the ground!
Woo~~~~
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After Lu Bu gave the order, horns and war drums sounded one after another.
Immediately, the Xiliang army began to charge Wudu to the sound of drums.
Whoever kills Liu Bei will be crowned king!
This alone is enough to demoralize the Xiliang army.
What is the purpose of being a soldier and fighting? If you are lucky enough to kill Liu Bei, you will become a master in an instant and become one of the top beings in this world.
Who doesn’t want to be called a loner?
It is precisely because of this that the Xiliang army did not need the leadership of their generals at all, and they launched a desperate charge towards the head of Wudu City, fearing that Liu Bei's head would be cut off by others.
"Huh, no matter what, sooner or later there will come a time when you will cry and beg me."
Liu Bei was not afraid at all of Lu Bu's siege.
Just kidding, after all, Liu Bei also has an army of 120,000 with him, and the Xiliang army is only half of his own.
Dare to attack the city even though half of them are there? I'm afraid only this brainless Lu Bu can do it in this world.
Even if your Xiliang army is strong in battle and its morale is as high as a rainbow, so what? I will guard it for a few days, and when the news of the change of ownership of Chang'an comes, I will see how arrogant you, Lu Bu, are?
Of course Lu Bu didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking.
Seeing the overwhelming offensive of his soldiers, Lu Bu was greatly inspired.
Humph, what Emperor Zhaolie? What Shu Han? They are all a bunch of soft-footed shrimps!
According to this kind of offensive, I am afraid that it will take only a few days to recapture this military capital.
When the time comes, I, Lu Bu, will counterattack you, Liu Bei, and destroy your Shu Han!
However, everything was just Lu Bu's delusion.
Night, Lu Bu camp.
"Your Majesty! We have caught a spy, and he sounds like he is from Chang'an.
This guy sneakily wanted to bypass our army’s position and sneak into Wudu, but he was discovered by the brothers who were on duty at night!”
The person who was caught was the envoy sent by Sima Lang to Liu Bei.
This unlucky guy, if it had been one morning, he would still have a chance to enter Wudu, which was not under siege.
However, Wudu was now besieged by Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, who had no intention of fighting at all, only defended the city and did not go out to form a formation to respond to the enemy.
This also resulted in the envoys of the Sima clan being unable to sneak into Wudu at all.
Naturally, Lu Bu would not tolerate the spy. Just when he was about to order someone to drag him out and kill him, he found a bucket of bamboo slips slipping out of his chest.
"Give the bamboo slips to the lonely king!"
Seeing the messenger's pale face, Lu Bu knew that there must be something important on this bamboo slip.
I originally thought that at most it was an official from Chang'an who had an affair with Liu Bei and planned to buy insurance for himself.
But when Lu Bu opened the bamboo slips and took a look, he was shocked.
What!?
Sima Yi!? Sima clan!?
How dare they? How dare they betray the lonely king?!
When he saw the words written by Ma Lang to Liu Bei on the bamboo slips, Lu Bu was shocked and angry.
Unexpectedly, the adopted son he trusted the most would betray him.
"Send the order! Reorganize the entire army and we return to Chang'an!"
Lu Bu knew that if he continued to delay here, he might lose his hometown.
Unfortunately, the Sima clan's plan failed, and Lu Bu's hometown was lost long ago.
