The time for the five-day surrender of the State of Shu has long passed, and Meng Chang obviously has no intention of surrendering.

Previously, Zhoujun East Road started from Suizhou on April 18, and arrived in Mianzhou on April 23 and was surrendered to Mianzhou City on April 23. Shi Yan led his troops northward to march towards Jianmen Pass on April 23 and rushed. Two hundred and ninety miles, suddenly arrived at Jianmenguan on April 29.

Shu general Han Baozheng hurriedly gathered troops and horses to fight, and the two armies fought in Hanyuanpo. Shi Yan personally led a heavy cavalry to break through the Shu army camp, from the central hole through the Shu army camp half a mile, and drove straight into unstoppable, burning the flag of the Shu army in the army; the main commander Han Baozheng led his soldiers to fight to death and was shot by Shi Yan_ Wearing the chest. More than 10,000 people in the Shu army collapsed and countless surrendered.

On the same day, Jianmen Pass was captured and the door opened wide. Xianggong Cao Bin 6 continued to enter the pass with 40,000 troops. The defense line of Shu North Road has thus completely collapsed, and the battle against Shu has just passed two months.

Guo Shao heard the news and Xianjun approached Chengdu.

……

At the main hall of the Imperial City of Chengdu, Meng Chang looked at the number of people in the court, which was obviously much less than usual, and asked: "Where are some ministers, why don't they go to court?"

A civil official took out a stack of memorials and whispered: "Your Majesty, these are all called illnesses. There are also concubines in the family who are about to give birth to children, who are injured on horseback..."

Meng Chang sighed and said, "My Meng family has been a veteran of rich clothes and jade for decades, why did they treat me like this?" After that, tears flowed down, and all the sparse princes of His Highness were sad.

It was cloudy, and the wind was blowing outside, pouring into the hall, causing the curtains on both sides to swing. No one in the temple spoke, only the wind. Meng Chang only felt that this majestic palace had become extremely desolate at this time, and the curtains were turbulent as if the entire imperial city was swaying and crumbling in the wind.

Meng Chang raised his head, looked to the east and listened. It was still quiet all around... In fact, all the news was heard from others, so far I have not seen a Sergeant Zhou in person. Maybe all this is a dream, all fake!

But in the wind, I really heard the roar of Jin Ge Iron Horse in a trance.

Mrs. Huarui persuaded him last night to disband the harem and let the ladies go home. She said that even if she didn't let them go, she couldn't keep the festival for her majesty. Zhou's generals who came for two thousand miles would definitely indulge their troops, and would treat this place as a big brothel, humiliating his majesty's wives and court ladies.

"You..." Meng Chang was furious, ashamed and anxious, "All of them will be destroyed_national slaves! Your property will be taken away, and your wives and concubines will be taken to military camps and used as prostitutes. The enemy will not let you go!" His fingers trembled.

The voice echoed in the empty hall, and there was an inexplicable atmosphere of fear in the echo.

He suddenly said loudly: "A decisive battle with Zhou Jun! Who will fight for me?"

No one answered, Meng Chang was furious: "I want to be a soldier!" At this time, a crowd of people hurriedly dissuaded, but Meng Chang yelled, "Do you think I can't lead soldiers? I am the son of the ancestor..." /

At this moment, an **** ran in to report: "Hou Mao has returned from riding alone, he is outside the hall, but his clothes are not neat..."

"Which Hou Mao?" Meng Chang asked.

The **** said: "Xingzhou defensive envoy, guard Qingniling, the general who made meritorious service."

Meng Chang seemed to remember, and said: "Come in."

After a long time, I saw a short general walked into the hall. This guy's armor was already in tatters. He was in ragged clothes with a sword hanging from his waist. Immediately a civilian said: "Who is he, dare to bring his sword to the palace!"

The **** said: "Li Shijun, you must see clearly that the sword is the sword of the ancestor. Who dares to take his sword?"

After listening, Hou Mao took off his saber from his waist in a daze, knelt down on the temple, holding the sword in his hands, his expression looked a bit dull: "Your Majesty, this sword is a reward from the great ancestor. It has been used to protect the people of the Kingdom of Shu. The present minister cannot protect the land and the people on behalf of his majesty. He is ashamed of the royal family and his father. Return this sword. Please give the minister a death apology."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Meng Chang said: "How did you come back?"

Hou Mao said: "The ministers first stood in Qingni Ridge for assistance. Zhou army swarmed and attacked from multiple sides. After our troops dispersed, our troops were sparsely broken through the line of defense. The minister led the army to retreat and heard that General Han’s reinforcements arrived. He led the rest to join General Han. The general gathered troops from all over Xingzhou, concentrated his forces in a decisive battle with Zhou Jun, and was defeated. General Han retired from Bao Jianmen Pass, and the end general followed...

On April 29th, Zhou Jundong Road went through the entire territory of Shu, and detoured to Jianmenguan. General Han died in battle at Hanyuanpo. The minister was ordered to stay at Jianmen Pass. At that time, most of the soldiers had fled. The Zhou army fought inside and outside. The minister had no choice but to gather the crowd at Jianmen Pass and was defeated. The minister fell from the city into the ravine, and luckily survived, he returned by walking the path at night. "

Meng Chang was moved by hearing, and stepped off the throne. Hou Mao quickly picked up the saber again.

"What military position are you?" Meng Chang asked.

Hou Maodao: "Xingzhou Defense Envoy."

Meng Chang said: "I heard that you have done meritorious service, no one will promote you?"

"Promote...what official?" Hou Mao hurriedly said, "The minister is not brave. My father once said that he could not go to martial arts. First, he could not accomplish anything. Then he had no choice but to inherit his father's mantle and practice martial arts. I am grateful."

Meng Chang said: "I appoint you as Marshal of Soldiers and Horses and go out of the city for a decisive battle!"

Hou Mao was stunned and said: "His Majesty Longen Xie... but are the Forbidden Army still willing to go out of the city to make formations?"

At this moment, Li Hao finally spoke to persuade: "Your Majesty must not force the Forbidden Army soldiers, be careful_change..."

...Meng Chang did nothing and didn't know what to do. After he left the court, he saw a porcelain bottle from the Tang Dynasty on the cabinet. He picked it up and fell to the ground with a terrifying face: "The jade and the stone are burned! Haha..."

Mrs. Huarui heard the sound and felt the front hall, and called: "Your Majesty, calm down."

After a while, he thought about the possible treatment, his face was full of fear, his hands and feet trembled. "Yes, a hundred dead..." Meng Chang looked up at the room beam. Mrs. Huarui hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, sit down and meditate first, there will be a way."

Meng Chang burst into tears and shook his head vigorously, saying: "I haven't had any pain, and I can't stand the tossing. You can find me a piece of white silk."

Mrs. Huarui warmly persuaded her, and said: "The great ancestors have established the country for decades, and the royal family has long been known by the people of the world. Even if your majesty has no country, as long as you endure this difficulty, you must still be a noble. You can't change it, just change your heart... Noble status, rich and beautiful days, there are no ninth generations in the world, your majesty think about it."

Meng Chang said: "I don't have the throne, what use is it for you?"

Mrs. Huarui hurriedly said: "It's a pity that the concubine is only acting for your majesty, not for her own. The concubine is a woman, and the concubine loses the willow. The concubine is nothing but nothing. Without your majesty, nothing is left. What can be lost Of?"

"What should I do?" Meng Chang said in a daze.

Mrs. Huarui immediately backed away and whispered: "The concubine has found a path for your majesty, maybe you can help your majesty a little.

The court concubine helped a woman named Jingniang a few years ago. She is now a close person to Guo Shao; as long as she is contacted, she may think of the favor of the year and is willing to return. Jing Niang was in the Zhou army camp, and it was difficult to contact her; but her concubine had already figured out the way, and that was to contact a woman named Wushan Baima.

Wushan Bai Sanniang is the ex-husband of Wang Zhaoyuan's son-in-law. The **** next to his concubine inquires that Wang Zhaoyuan also wants to find a way through Bai Sanniang. Wang Zhaoyuan finally revealed his true shape. He is a jester; he can't do big things, but it's a good way to make a lot of friends. He must be able to find Bai Sanniang.

Meaning of the concubine, your majesty ordered Wang Zhaoyuan to take one of our people to find Bai Sanniang; then contact Jingniang through Bai Sanniang...because Bai Sanniang is just a fate of water, the court concubine asks her Fangzi had only rewarded her; Jingniang had to be more reliable, and her concubines had personally met her. "

Meng Chang was confused when he heard: "Can you talk in front of Blacksmith Guo? She will help you and me?"

Mrs. Huarui said: "In my love, she is helping your majesty; even the concubines are also helping your majesty. We are all thinking of ways for you. All people in this palace can only rely on your majesty. Who are we not helping you?"

Ms. Huarui’s eyes shone with tears, but there was a smile: "Your Majesty still remember building a crystal palace for his concubines on Mohechi? No one has ever treated me so well..."

She murmured, "I'm so scared... I might face things that are worse than death. People are so terrible... Several times I want to die. Anyway, noble and good days have been enjoyed. If you die at this time, you might be able to ask for a last name for your Majesty’s festival. But, what does your majesty do to sacrifice his concubines?"

She seemed to be talking, never saying these things in front of Meng Chang, "It's all retribution. I must have been a bad person in my previous life, so I was born as a singer. Your Majesty made me very noble, but... this Everything is a flower in the moon and water in the mirror. It is just a dream of Nanke, and it will be returned after all. Those who are unhappy will not end well. I will wither like a peony in Chengdu Mansion. I hope I will use this broken body and defiled soul. Atonement, the world will be peaceful when you are reborn in the next life..."

Meng Chang frowned: "What do you mean by this? I don't understand. Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?"

Ms. Huarui recovered from her trance, bit her teeth, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, is there any other way to go besides surrendering? Has your Majesty figured it out clearly, is it really going to die? "

Ms. Huarui's words were very harsh, Meng Chang was there, touched his neck, swallowed, as if thinking about what it was like to hang himself.

"There is still a way to survive. If your Majesty wants to fight for it, surrender!" Madam Huarui said simply. The word surrender was repeatedly emphasized and became extra clear.
