Above the main hall, Liu Chan is preparing for the canonization ceremony. This time, he will be conferred the title of Prime Minister. You must know that Shu Kingdom has not had the position of Prime Minister for 29 years. Although the situation is quite tense, today's canonization ceremony cannot be taken lightly.

At this time, Dong Jue, Zhang Shao, and Qiao Zhou came to the palace together. Liu Chan couldn't help being stunned. All the officials came, but today's protagonist Sima Lun was nowhere to be seen. Is this what happened?

Among the three, Dong Jue had the highest official position. He was the general of the auxiliary state and the secretary of state affairs. He stepped forward and paid homage: "Your Majesty, Sima Lun is so ambitious that he ordered Zhong Hui to secretly build a dam in Du'an.

Yan, in an attempt to replace troops with water, flooded Chengdu. For the safety of His Majesty, for Ji Han's country, and for the common people of Chengdu, I discussed with Zhang Shizhong and Doctor Qiao to capture Sima Lun inside the Meridian Gate, and how to deal with it.

, please come and make a decision, Your Majesty."

Liu Chan was really shocked this time. Sima Lun actually thought of a way to dig out the water of Du'an to flood Chengdu. It's hard to say whether he could defeat the enemy, but I'm afraid no one in Chengdu could be spared. Such a desperate situation

Wouldn't it be a plan to kill everyone in Chengdu?

After Liu Chan heard this, he felt a chill running down his back. He fell down on the dragon bed, his eyes were blank and his expression was dull. He murmured to himself: "What a good Sima Lun. I trust him so much in vain."

, he can actually do such a crazy thing, come here, tell me my will, and have Sima Lun beheaded at the Meridian Gate."

Dong Jue, Zhang Shao, and Qiao Zhou heard this and said in unison: "Your Majesty, you can't kill me!"

Liu Chan said in surprise: "Since you say Sima Lun is a heinous person, why don't you let me kill him?"

Dong Jue said: "Your Majesty, although Sima Lun has been captured, Chengdu city is full of his cronies. If your Majesty kills Sima Lun, then his subordinates will definitely avenge him. Once they enter the palace, won't they?

It endangers His Majesty's life, so Sima Lun is temporarily a hostage and must not be killed."

Liu Chan's expression suddenly changed. Since Sima Lun couldn't be killed, but you caught him and couldn't let him go, wouldn't this be like riding a tiger and making it difficult to dismount?

Moreover, the Wei army is about to attack. Chengdu's defense is all counting on Sima Lun. This time you have captured Sima Lun. How will the next battle be fought? Who can take Sima Lun's position to defend against the Wei army?

Faced with Liu Chan's inquiry, Dong Jue, Zhang Shao and Qiao Zhou looked at each other. They had indeed discussed this issue before. Even if they capture Sima Lun, it is not a foolproof plan. For example, Zhong Hui's side

If they completely ignore it and flood Chengdu frantically, they will still be dead, so they have only one way to go, and that is to take Sima Lun hostage and escape from Chengdu.

Of course, after leaving Chengdu, they had no choice. The outside of the city was all the territory of the Wei army. The only way to survive was to surrender to the Wei army. Otherwise, leaving Chengdu would be a dead end.

Qiao Zhou was a staunch surrender faction. When the Wei army had just come over, Qiao Zhou had already begun planning to surrender to the Wei army. In his view, this was an opportunity to change the Yizhou native faction that had been suppressed for many years.

Even if the Wei army occupied the Shu Kingdom, they would not massacre the city or kill. Judging from the situation after the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, Wei Emperor Cao Liang can be called a benevolent master. He promoted the imperial examination and selected talents.

, these talented people in Yizhou definitely have no shortage of opportunities to get ahead.

Seeing hope, Qiao Zhou naturally spared no effort to surrender to Shu, and even openly began to lobby Liu Chan in the court, hoping that Liu Chan would immediately raise a white flag and surrender.

Compared with Qiao Zhou's proactive surrender attitude, Dong Jue and Zhang Shao were relatively less enthusiastic. After all, they were vested interests in Shu. Even if they surrendered to Wei, would they be able to obtain their current status and rank?

A big question, so as long as Shu is not in danger of extinction, they will not actively agree to surrender to Wei.

But the situation is different now. When Sima Lun came to defend the city, he was repaying his determination to die. If it really comes to a critical moment, Sima Lun will drag everyone in Chengdu to be buried with him. This guy is simply a madman and unreasonable.

.

Of course Dong Jue and Zhang Shao did not want to die. Compared with their wealth and life, their official positions and titles were nothing. Without their lives, they would not be able to enjoy greater wealth.

Therefore, none of them regretted the capture of Sima Lun. If they didn't capture this lunatic, everyone would be done with it.

But after capturing Sima Lun, one of the most practical problems they faced was how to escape. They had no choice but to stay in Chengdu. If they wanted to save their lives, they had to leave Chengdu first.

But after leaving the city, if they did not surrender to the Wei army, they would have no way out, so now, surrendering to Wei has become the only option.

Zhang Shao said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, the only solution now is to surrender to the Kingdom of Wei. God's destiny is like this, and your Majesty has no choice but to obey God's will."

Liu Chan burst into tears and said: "You all love me and surrender to Wei, and I will not lose the state or county even if you are exhausted. I am the king of a country, and I am a sworn enemy of Wei. Emperor Wei is willing to tolerate me. I am afraid that on the day he surrenders to Wei, he will be mine."

Death date."

Dong Jue said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The current Wei Emperor Cao Liang is your Majesty's nephew. If your Majesty sincerely surrenders, the Wei Emperor will break the earth to seal him. Although your Majesty's throne is not guaranteed, there is no need to worry about his wealth."

Liu Chan stopped crying and asked curiously: "You said that Cao Liang is my nephew. Is this the case? I don't know so much?"

Dong Jue said: "When the late emperor was in trouble in Dangyang, his two daughters were kidnapped by Cao Cao. One of the daughters was later taken as a wife by Cao Chun's son Cao Yan, and she gave birth to a son, Cao Liang, who is the current emperor of Wei. This is a secret, and few people know it.

Young Master, Your Majesty was young at the time, so naturally he doesn’t remember this incident.”

The incident of Liu Bei's two daughters being abducted in Dangyang was indeed embarrassing enough, so even after Liu Bei became emperor, he did not pursue the matter again. However, when the intelligence agency of Shu State spied on Wei State later,

They had this information, but the people who knew about it were only important figures in the army. At this time, Dong Jue revealed everything, which not only surprised Liu Chan, but also everyone else.

But since there is such a relationship, everyone is relieved. After all the fighting, they are still a family. Since Cao Liang is Liu Chan's nephew, Liu Chan's treatment will not be that bad after he surrenders to Wei.

, the officials in the court seemed to be able to follow suit.
