"At last, I got to Chengdu!"
Seeing the towering city of Chengdu, Chu Tian was very excited.
If you take Chengdu City, you will have almost nine out of ten of Sichuan.
Chengdu's position in Shu was as important as Luoyang and Chang'an were to the Han Empire.
The unification of the Han Empire is close at hand.
Chu Tian only took 5000 cavalry troops to break through the outer defense line of Chengdu, and at the same time recruited tens of thousands of Shu troops.
If there were only such a small number of troops, Chu Tian would not dare to attack Chengdu, but there were ghosts in Chengdu City, then Chu Tian could reproduce Deng AI's play of entering Sichuan.
Chu Tian stationed in the northern city of Chengdu, peeping into Chengdu City, waiting for Zhang song to meet him.
There are 50000 troops in Chengdu, but Wang Meng does not dare to go out of the city to fight.
The reason is very simple. The elite of Shu army is either in Hanzhong or in nanzhong. Chengdu has no special arms to deal with the cuiqi army of Chutian.
In addition, Wang Meng sent 30000 troops to the south to block Huoan army, which was marching toward Chengdu.
Mianzhu, Fuxian and other places have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and are closing in on Chutian.
However, Chu Tian regarded it as nothing.
As long as you win Chengdu and get the family members of Shu soldiers, most of them will surrender without fighting.
Yizhou's aristocratic families have a lot of wealth in Chengdu. Winning Chengdu is the lifeblood of local aristocratic families.
Wang Meng stood on the magnificent north wall of Chengdu, looking at the Xia army troops and horses outside the city.
With Wang Meng's intelligence, what is the situation in Yizhou, his heart is clear, but Wang Meng is still holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
"The Xia army, with thousands of troops and thousands of soldiers, thought they could take Chengdu?"
Wang Meng thinks that unless Xia Jun comes to 100000 people, he can be sure to attack Chengdu, which Wang Meng defends with 50000 people.
Chengdu is a huge city with towering walls and numerous arrow towers. If people work together, even a hundred thousand Xia troops will not be able to attack it.
Now, the Xia army has only a few thousand cavalry, and they are carrying the Shu army captured along the way.
All of a sudden, Wang Meng's heart moved, probably understood the meaning of Chu Tian.
"The Xia army could not be in danger for no reason. Then, the Xia army under the city will surely win Chengdu with 89% confidence It turns out that there are insiders. It seems that the aristocratic families in Yizhou have made a choice. Chengdu can not be kept. "
Wang Meng understood and sighed.
This is the decision of Yizhou family.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the influence of local aristocratic families in the Lord world is not small.
Even if the Lord recruited generals from other dynasties, the tax and conscription could not be separated from the local families of the Three Kingdoms.
Many middle and low-level generals and civil servants still come from local aristocratic families. They can intervene in taxation, conscription, agriculture and economy.
Liu Bei, Chen Xi and Wang Meng are foreigners, not native people of Yizhou, so they rely more on the power of Yizhou aristocratic families. When the Yizhou aristocratic families found that they could not protect their own family interests by following Liu Bei, they decided to change their owners.
It is not without the aristocratic families who continue to support Liu Bei. However, with the erosion of Yizhou situation, more and more aristocratic families who are at the helm of the wind have changed their positions.
Yang Huai and Fei Guan, the generals of Baishui pass and Jiameng pass, have fallen without fighting, representing a group of Yizhou aristocratic families.
Wang Meng could not blame these aristocratic families.
The war of unification of the Han Empire was just a struggle for interests among the princes, and there was no justice on either side.
Yizhou aristocratic family has helped Liu Bei and Wang Meng a lot. Hundreds of thousands of Yizhou people died in the war. Yizhou's population can no longer bear more casualties. Otherwise, in the coming decades, the population of Yizhou will be much smaller than that of other states.
"If the Yizhou aristocratic family is rebellious, there must be spies for those who guard the city. Fazheng? No, it's not him. It's mostly Zhang song, and... "
Wang Meng knew it in his mind, and even made a list of aristocratic families that might have rebelled.
But what to do with them?
Wang Meng paced back and forth in the wall, and his green shirt moved with the wind.
If he was an ordinary general, he might have captured the man who was about to rebel in the city. However, Wang Meng fell into consideration.
"Urgent report! Huo'an, the governor of the western regions, led 200000 troops out of the Nanman mountains, and defeated our army in Guangdu County, killing 30000, and the whole garrison of Guangdu county was destroyed! "
“……”
The 30000 garrison Wang Meng sent to the south of Chengdu not long ago was destroyed by huo'an.
Huo'an's troops combined Mongolian cavalry, Nanman army and Qianwei county's troops. There were enough troops to launch a fierce attack and directly attack, annihilating the 30000 garrison in Guangdu county.
Huo'an and Chu Tian have surrounded Chengdu from the South and North.
The general of the Shu army who reported the news carefully looked at Wang Meng and said, "commander, what should we do?"
Wang Meng did not answer for a long time, and finally slowly said: "you lead a team of elite soldiers, so..."
The general of Shu army opened his eyes wide and said, "master, are we really going to do this?"Wang Meng sighed: "the trend is gone."
As night fell, the north gate of Chengdu, as a military general in the Xia army, took control of the whole north gate.
Zhang song came to the north gate to make sure that he had replaced the soldiers of the surrender faction.
"Wait until Yin Shi, with fire as the name, to meet the king of Xia."
"Yes."
"Wang Meng, as Liu Bei's military division, will certainly lead his troops to revolt. I led the private soldiers to kill Wang Meng. Wang Meng didn't expect that he would be killed by me. "
After confirming that there was a spy in the North City, Zhang Song and several aristocratic families gathered more than 1000 private soldiers to attack Wang Meng.
Wang Meng suppressed the aristocratic family, and some people were dissatisfied.
Unable to sleep at night, Chu Tian led 5000 cavalry troops outside the north gate of Chengdu, waiting for the signal.
"Zhang song is greedy, and he should not repent."
"Lord, look, there is a signal in the city!"
A light cry from Pei Mi's voice brought Chu Tian back to God.
In Beicheng tower, a member of Shu general waved torches to meet Xia's army.
When the north gate of Chengdu was opened, Gao Shun led the camp and took the lead to enter the city to prevent Wang Meng from setting up an ambush or pretending to surrender by the Shu army.
Soon, the trapped camp in the city occupied the gate and returned to Chu Tian.
"If you invade Chengdu, you should take the city Lord's house directly. You can't plunder it!"
After the capture of Chengdu, Chu Tian never hoped that this huge city would be destroyed.
Five thousand cavalry troops gallop into the city and take the city Lord's house directly!
Soon, the cavalry army entered the city, causing the panic of 50000 Shu army in the city!
And in the vicinity of the city Lord's house, there has been a battle!
Iron horse, Chengdu City, sword light and sword shadow!
When the Xia army came to Chengdu, the Chengdu garrison was even more demoralized and surrendered one after another, while Chu Tian led his cavalry to the city Lord's mansion!
"Chengdu belongs to me!"
Chu Tian didn't expect to win Yizhou's most important city so easily. He achieved his goal through strategy and internal affairs without any decent fighting.
There were many corpses near the Lord's house. Wang Meng led a team of soldiers and horses to ambush Zhang song, who attacked the Lord's house. Zhang Song and several generals of the aristocratic family were killed. The private soldiers of the aristocratic families were scattered.
Wang Meng and Chu Tian confront each other in the Lord's mansion.
However, to Chu Tian's surprise, Wang Meng quickly surrendered to Chutian with his official seal.
Chu Tian gazed at the counselor who surrendered with the official seal in his hands. He always felt that Wang Meng's reaction was too calm: "Wang JINGLUE, have you guessed that there is an agent in the city?"
Wang Meng calmly replied, "it's nothing but Zhang Song and others who see that the trend is gone and offer the city honor."
"Why don't you plan and set up the city? If you kill this king, Chengdu can defend it. "
"Your Highness is right. However, I heard that Xia Wang's son was both literate and martial arts, and had the posture of a king. Even though the criminal officials ambushed and killed his highness, they were only retaliated by the army of Xia on a larger scale. As soon as the emperor was angry, a million corpses were buried and the blood was flowing thousands of miles. I'm afraid that by then, there will be no human beings and no grass in Sichuan. After harassing Shu for a long time, he could not bear to resist with the lives of the people in Shu. "
"Then why kill Zhang Song and other meritorious officials? I'm not afraid that the king will kill you. I'll give you an account to the Yizhou family? "
Chu Tian questions Wang Meng, but Wang Meng is silent.
However, Chu Tian has seen the answer from Wang Meng's eyes.
Wang Meng killed Zhang song. On the one hand, he was angry. On the other hand, he thought that Chutian also wanted to kill Zhang Song and was unwilling to fulfill his promise to Zhang song. Therefore, before he surrendered, he simply helped Chu Tian kill Zhang song.
This is a Zhuge Liang type figure. He helped Fu Jian's Former Qin Dynasty unify the north. If Wang Meng did not die, Fu Jian would have a chance to unify China.
Wang Meng has fully guessed the inner party and Chu Tian's idea.
No, it's not terrible.
"I don't like to get Chengdu, but I'm glad to have Qing. I'm not guilty."
After seeing Wang Meng's power, Chu Tian naturally forgives Wang Meng after knowing that he has got an all rounder.
As for Zhang Song and others who were killed by Wang Meng, Chu Tian also appeased them.
All the good things belong to the Lord, and the black pot minister comes down to carry it.
The private feud between these families and Wang Meng will gradually fade as Wang Meng is transferred from Yizhou.
