Negotiations continue.

Li Yuan was very patient this time.

While besieging Chengdu, he ordered Wang Shang, Li Zhongxiang, and Luo Xian to each lead a Qin army to attack the empty counties in central Shu. These counties were scattered on the Chengdu Plain and were important places for the output of grain and fodder in Shu County.

By occupying these counties first, the Qin army's food and fodder supplies would be secured. At least, the food for the 10,000-strong army would no longer have to be transported all the way to the Han Dynasty. This was crucial to alleviating the Qin army's intense logistical pressure.

The troops in various counties in Shu County had already been mobilized by Li Shang. The Qin army's attack was almost overwhelming. The only resistance they encountered occurred in Peng County.

The county lieutenant of Peng County did not have the courage to fight against the Qin army. The person who led the people of Peng County to fight against the Qin army was an alchemist named Peng Sheng. This guy who loved tinkering with alchemy claimed to be a descendant of Peng Zu and had received the gift of his ancestors.

I have some experience in the art of longevity and health preservation.

He had no good impression of the Qin State because the First Emperor once killed his senior brother and an alchemist who was also an alchemist.

In his later years, the First Emperor sought the elixir of life.

He once ordered to recruit alchemists from all over the country to Xianyang to refine elixirs and offer medicines. After these alchemists arrived in Xianyang, they also made some elixirs containing toxic elements such as mercury and mercury. Unfortunately, after the first emperor took them, not only did he fail to prolong his life, but his health became worse and worse.

The weaker they are. In this case, these unlucky alchemists will only die.

In fact, these alchemists are quite unlucky when you think about it.

If there really is an elixir of immortality in this world, why don't they take it themselves first and become gods for a while? It will be the First Emperor's turn to take it.

Peng Sheng used the technique of encouragement and confusion to incite the people to fight against the Qin army. Unfortunately, this old man met Wang Shang, who was old but very senior in the Qin army.

Facing Peng Keng's mob, Wang Shang led his army in just an hour to trample the low city wall of Peng County under his feet. Even Peng Sheng himself became a prisoner of the Qin army.

The resistance failed. Peng Sheng was a bachelor, and he immediately decided to surrender to Qin. Under his lobbying, the unrest in Peng County and several surrounding counties was quickly quelled.

——.

Counties in Shu County watched the wind and descended.

Chengdu was increasingly trapped in an isolated and helpless situation. Faced with the preferential conditions proposed by Li Yuan, the scale in Li Shang's heart was tilting little by little.

Thinking of himself who blocked the Stone Cow Road two months ago and prepared to fight the Qin army to the death, Li Shang felt both ashamed and lucky. What was ashamed was that after seeing the majestic appearance of the Qin army, he felt that he had overestimated his own capabilities.

It was unbearable. Fortunately, thanks to Lu Jia's lobbying, Li Yuan did not order the storming of the city wall.

A trip to Chengdu on the plains.

There was almost no danger to defend. How could Li Yuan's four or five thousand disorganized soldiers resist such an undefended city?

A gatekeeper responsible for collecting taxes in Jinli, Chengdu.

Li Xie, who had been deprived of his position as captain, had a depressed and resentful look on his face. He was drinking wine with a few close Han military commanders. Because he had killed Lu Jia, Li Xie had completely lost his uncle.

Li Shang’s trust.

"Captain, why are you so sulky? Prime Minister Li is just angry for a moment, and he will re-appoint Captain in a few days." A schoolmaster named Liu Tietou said flatteringly.

"You know what the heck, Qin Gou is about to enter the city. Things are going to change in Shu County. By then, even my uncle won't be able to talk anymore." Li Scai said gloomily.

"Captain, I heard that Prime Minister Li is going to sacrifice the city to surrender the Qin people. Is this true?" Liu Tietou approached the drunken Li Xie and asked in a low voice.

"You also want to demote Qin Gou, haha. It's a pity that you and I are not worthy enough. Qin Gou looks down on lowly people like us," Li Scai raised his drunken eyes and said loudly.

"Captain, you are drunk and talking nonsense. If Prime Minister Li surrenders, we will naturally follow him." Liu Tietou heard the meaning from Li Xie's words and immediately stood up to send Li Xie back.

"Follow, a bunch of villains who are greedy for profit and afraid of death. You all go and surrender. I, Li Scai, will never surrender to Qin. Don't the Qin people want to get the city? Haha -, tomorrow morning, Li will lead his people

Go and burn Jinli, so that even if the Qin people take the city, they won't get anything." At this time, Li Scai started shouting like crazy.

Tell the truth after drinking.

What was Li Scai thinking in his mind, he suddenly said it out in his drunken state.

His shout caused Liu Tietou and several other close confidants who were accompanying him to change their expressions. Li Scai was going crazy, but they were not crazy. If Li Scai really burned down Jinli, it would be a huge crime.

, you must know that nearly a quarter of the people in Chengdu rely on brocade weaving for a living.

"What should we do?" Liu Tietou winked at a few people. Seeing that they were silent, Liu Tietou made a gesture as if he would push Li Scabies into the Jinjiang River and drown him.

"Why don't we do it without stopping -!" Killing a person is not the first time for these soldiers.

Previously, Li Bing was the nephew of Li Shang, Prime Minister of Shu, and they were fawning over them. But now, the city is about to fall into the hands of the Qin army. If someone exposes their relationship with Li Bing, an anti-Qin diehard, then what will happen to them?

The result is yes

He must be suppressed with force, so when Li Scai was completely drunk, he pushed the culprit into the Jinjiang River. Finally, when he woke up the next morning, Li Scai slipped and fell into the water and drowned. Wouldn't it be wrong?

Everyone is happy.

Without Li Scai, they are the heroes who saved Jinli from being burned. They are also members of the ordinary Han army. When the time comes to take advantage of the situation and surrender the Qin army, they may be able to hold an official position, even if they cannot go to Guanzhong.

It would be a good idea to go and broaden your horizons, stay in Chengdu and bully the good people, and wander around the countryside.

Waves of murderous intent surged through the Han army's primary school.

With the support of several people, Li Scai stumbled all the way towards the edge of Jinjiang River. When the pedestrians and neighbors on the road saw these soldiers and gangsters, they had no time to hide and they didn't care whether Li Scai was drunk or awake.

"Bang!" There was a splash of water.

Li scabies stepped on the ground with one foot.

Suddenly, his head rushed down, and a green onion fell down from the wooden bridge of Huanhua River. Liu Tietou pretended to pull, but couldn't catch anything. In the end, he could only watch "helplessly" as Li scabies was washed away by the rapids in the blink of an eye.

When Li Shang's figure disappeared into the Jinjiang River, a look of pride flashed on Liu Tietou's face, and he obtained the shaken information about Li Shang from Li Shang's mouth. This was the first extremely valuable piece of information he received after taking orders to sneak into Shu County.

I believe that after seeing these valuable achievements, King Liu Bang of Han Dynasty would definitely remember that in the distant Shu County, there was a fellow from Peixian County named Liu Tietou.

the next day.

Pretending to be a little uneasy, Liu Tietou and others searched all the way downstream, and finally "found" Li Scabie's swollen and deformed corpse.

Facing the unexpected death of their close friend and boss, these soldiers performed a very realistic performance. They carried Li Scabie's body all the way from outside the city into the city and all the way to Li Shang's house.

Seeing the corpse of his nephew who died tragically, Li Shang's face became gloomy and terrifying. Although he could not find out for a while whether it was true or not that Li Man drowned, one thing could be proved: it was definitely related to the soldiers and gangsters in front of him.

"The discipline of the Han army has reached a point where it must be rectified." Li Shang thought bitterly. After Fan Muba's army collapsed, as the only military force in the city, the military discipline of the Han army's generals became more and more difficult.

Li Shang was worried.

Although Li Shang was the general of the Han army, most of the middle and lower-level officers in this force were rogue warriors recruited by Liu Bang on his way to the west. These people were somewhat capable in ruthless fighting, and they were not bad at disrupting the local area.

In the third year of the Qin and Xin calendar years, it was June 2nd.

After intense and complicated negotiations, Li Shang issued an emergency order to gather most of the Han army generals to the school field in the city, and then sent his cronies out of the city to guide the Qin army to forcibly disarm the Han army.

When they saw the black torrent pouring into the school grounds, the faces of the Han generals turned pale with fear. They were accustomed to bullying the weak and feared the strong, but they did not have the courage to resist desperately, so they had to lay down their weapons and surrender to the Qin army.

"Fight with the Qin army." Liu Tietou hid among the crowd and began to encourage in a low voice.

"Who doesn't want to live anymore? Don't bring trouble to the big guys." Most of the generals and commanders in the Han army had long ago not wanted to fight. When someone encouraged them, they immediately became angry.

Liu Tietou was pushed out by several war-weary Han army princes, and then his true identity was immediately exposed by several counter-insurgents who "knew the truth".

"Liu Tietou, what else can you say?" Li Shang was furious. There were witnesses and physical evidence, and the fact that Liu Tietou murdered Li Scabies was clear. This made Li Shang not angry.

"Haha, Prime Minister Li, you betrayed the King of Han and surrendered to Qin. This is a serious crime of treason. How can you have the face to talk to me, Liu?" Liu Tietou replied proudly. Liu Tietou, who was quite bachelor-like, behaved at this moment.

He was brave enough to think about it even though he knew he was going to die.

"Come here, kill these bastards." Li Shang shouted.

What Liu Tietou and others did made him extremely angry. Liu Bang was actually worried about him. He had planted so many secret agents in the Han army. If he could kill Li Scabies this time, he might have to use the knife next time.

Stab him, Li Shang.

If it were Cao Shen and others, would Liu Bang be suspicious?

Obviously not.

Li Shang had always felt that Liu Bang was very important to him, and he couldn't justify his betrayal. Now that Liu Tietou's incident was arousing, Li Shang's heart immediately stirred up.

A major purge immediately started among the Han army. With the support of Li Yuan's Qin army, Li Shang began a careful investigation of the Han army under his command. After seeing with his own eyes the Qin army's formations outside the city, which were lined with forests and mountains, even if

He was the bravest Han soldier and gave up the idea of ​​competing with the Qin army.

Without someone like Liu Tietou who took the lead in making trouble, the Han army originally obeyed the command of Li Shang. The subsequent purge process was uneventful, and several more suspects, who were not sure whether they were real or fake, were identified, and they were linked to

The unlucky Liu Tietou was beheaded by Li Shang. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
