After the Shu army surrendered, the Wei army quickly entered the city and took over the defense of Baidi City.

The Wei army confiscated the weapons and armor of the last two thousand Shu army, took them under their care, and then disarmed the Wu Ban and brought them to Le Jin.

Le Jin met Wu Ban in the official yamen in Baidi City.

"Why didn't you surrender before? If you brought 20,000 troops and all the civilians and men, surrendered to materials, not only will you be fine, but you will be rewarded and will definitely be granted a title of marquis and generals without losing preferential treatment. Why do you have to resist?"

"The ancestors and the first lord in the family are very friendly. My brothers followed the first lord into Shu and were taken care of by the first lord. They have been taken care of for more than ten years. I dare not forget the kindness of the ten years of care, so I dare not surrender before."

Wu Ban knelt on the ground and said depressedly.

"Then why don't you just fight to the end and die on the battlefield, in the name of Quan Zhongyi? At this time, surrendering will not only not be able to get the name of Quan Zhongyi, but it will even be difficult to get rewards, and you will even be asked for guilt. Don't you think this is a wrong decision?"

Le Jin asked again.

"It has come to this point, and it doesn't mean to me whether to surrender or not. However, there are still two thousand soldiers in the city and nearly ten thousand people. I can't bear to die with me. The defeat of our country is a foregone conclusion. The number of people in Shu has been greatly damaged. I just want to keep more people in Shu."

Wu Ban took a deep breath: "If the general doesn't want to see me alive, please give me a knife and allow me to commit suicide to comfort the first lord."

Le Jin looked at Guo Jia, shook his head, and said, "Since you surrender, whether you die or live, it will be decided by the emperor. You can no longer decide by yourself. I will report your affairs to the emperor and the emperor will decide.

Before this, I ask you, are you willing to lead the way for our army and persuade our army to surrender to the cities and troops along the way? In this way, you may be able to make a fortune and get rewards, and not end up miserably."

"The defeated general and even surrendered, he is the one who is betraying the Lord. Since he has already betrayed the Lord, how can he do such a shameless thing? Please detain me and not let me participate in such a thing."

Wu Ban knelt down and asked.

Le Jin sighed, waved his hand, and asked his personal soldiers to suppress Wu Ban and imprison him. He took care of him carefully, and then he stopped paying attention to his affairs.

After breaking through Qutang Pass and Baidi City, the road to Sichuan suddenly became clear.

Le Jin and Guo Jia commanded the army to advance together in the waters of the Yangtze River, advancing westward along the Yangtze River, and soon conquered the entire Badong County, and then moved down the river toward Ba County.

The Badong defense line of the Shu army was destroyed and the main force was destroyed. The Wei army followed the Yangtze River's march route and the Sichuan army's march and grain transport route.

The post stations set up by the Shu Han government along the Yangtze River for the transportation of food could not resist the further advance of the Wei army. On the contrary, the grain, forage and even some war horses and ships owned by the post station were confiscated along the way by the Wei army, becoming the guarantee for the Wei army's advancement.

In just over ten days, the main force of the Wei army went up the river and conquered Quren County, Linjiang County, Pingdu County and Zhi County in succession.

There was no resistance among the four counties. The officials abandoned the city and fled. There was only a small number of local officials who had nowhere to escape. So they bit the bullet and stayed and waited for the Wei army. After seeing the Wei army, they surrendered decisively.

So the Wei army advanced smoothly and encountered no resistance. By mid-to-late March, the Wei army had already arrived in Jiangzhou.

The prefect of Ba County and the magistrate of Jiangzhou County had already abandoned the city and fled, and the defenders in the city had long been dispersed, so the big families in the city united to take over the city. Seeing that the Wei army had arrived in Jiangzhou, they surrendered the city and presented all the treasuries in the city to Le Jin and Guo Jia.

Le Jin and Guo Jia were very happy and ordered the army to make plans everywhere. They stayed in the city to hold banquets, entertained the wealthy families in the city, promoted the policies of the Wei State, and laid the foundation for the Wei State to rule Shu.

It was already March 25th when Le Jin and Guo Jia rectified the army in Jiangzhou and continued to go up the river.

At this moment, Liu Zhang had already learned the news in Chengdu.

Before that, in mid-March, Liu Zhang had just learned that the battle situation at Jiange Pass was unclear.

The last general Gao Pei and the Zhonglang general Lei Tong were killed due to the raid of the Wei army. The defenders of Jiange Pass suffered losses and were short of medicinal materials. The number of soldiers killed by wounded soldiers was far from comparable to the number of people killed in battle.

Currently, there are only more than 15,000 people who can continue to fight, which means that in just over a month, nearly 5,000 soldiers have been lost to Jiange Pass. The terrible casualty rate made Liu Zhang tremble and Chengdu tremble.

Then Liu Zhang realized that the Wei army's siege weapons were updated very quickly, and he used stone throwers to siege the city, threw huge rocks, ignition oil tanks and thunder.

On the memorial, Wu Yi described that a huge rock could smash a deep pit when it fell from the sky and fell into the ground. A huge ignition tank could burst out a huge flame, which could burn without combustible materials, burning a large number of soldiers, while a thunderclap could make a thunder-like sound, which was extremely terrifying.

The situation at Jiange Pass is very bad now. The Wei army's weapons are very far away from siege, and the Shu army's bows and arrows cannot reach, so they cannot fight back, and they can only be beaten passively. It is not feasible to go out of the city to fight.

Wu Yi urgently asked reinforcements and a large number of medicinal materials, doctors, especially medicinal materials and doctors that can treat burns.

Liu Zhang's hair turned white because of this, and mobilized his subordinates to continue recruiting troops around Chengdu, and urgently recruited doctors from the people who were good at treating burns and sword injuries to send them to Jiange Pass.

Then Liu Zhang learned that there was no movement near Micang Mountain and there seemed to be no attack from Wei army, so he ordered Zhang Ren, who was stationed in Micang Road, to divide his troops into 5,000 to support Jiange.

At the same time, Liu Zhang also seriously thought about the super mobilization suggestions put forward by Huang Quan before, thinking about the actions of sending all men to the battlefield and allowing women to transport food.

There are not many men of the right age around Chengdu, and there are not many men who have spread to the entire Shu County. The men in Guanghan County have gone to transport grain for the Jiange defenders, but they can no longer be recruited. The men in Sanba also have to transport grain for the badong County defenders.

The barbarians in all counties were bribed by Liu Zhang to join the resistance army. Except for those border counties in southern Yizhou that were all in their own way, the war potential in the Chengdu Plain has dried up.

Of course, these are all registered in the number of household registrations. If Liu Zhang can make up his mind to suppress the powerful and seize labor, he will definitely get the mobilization equivalent to all the mobilization he currently has and continue to support the war.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it. He was already angry and resentful to the heavens, and he was short of an uprising.

In the process of recruiting civilians and warriors, many civil servants have chosen to flee into the powerful manor for protection because they cannot bear the heavy work.

Liu Zhang had no choice but to draw 10,000 troops from the four counties in Nanzhong to resist.

However, with the idea of ​​super mobilization, this idea disappeared after Liu Zhang learned that the Badong County defense line was destroyed and Yan Yan died in battle and surrendered Wu Ban.

The last time Liu Zhang received Yan Yan's memorial was when Yan Yan captured Wu County.

Yan Yan wrote a memorial to Liu Zhang in a very proud tone, saying that he had defeated the Wei army and captured Wu County. He would march towards Zigui, seize Zigui, and force the Wei army to give up their strategic intentions.

When Liu Zhang learned that he was overjoyed, he immediately sent someone to commend Yan Yan and the front-line army and sent them rare cows and fine wine.

But just when Liu Zhang gave the reward, Yan Yan was surrounded by the Wei army and died in battle. The rewards did not continue to move forward after arriving in Jiangzhou.
