Chapter 96 The Death of Zhang Chun (please count the votes)
Zhang Chun died in the end, under Lin Chao's scheme.

First of all, many feint attacks at night, like a trick to exhaust the enemy, successfully convinced Zhang Chun that this last wave of attack was the ultimate move.

No matter what, he never imagined that Zhao Yun would hide among ordinary soldiers, and in this killing move, another wave of lore came to him.

Lin Chaozhi's strategy can be described as an infinite set of dolls, which gave Zhang Chun infinite surprises.

Therefore, although the distance was very far, Zhao Yun's arrow still hit Zhang Chun without any precautions.

Although only the right arm was shot, the arrow was smeared with poison.As long as Zhang Chun didn't choose to cut off his arm at the moment when he was hit by the arrow, what awaited him was doomed death.

It's just that Zhang Chun didn't realize it now, he was still enduring the pain in his right arm, and he was still commanding the army to fight.

Guan Yu and the other three saw that Zhao Yun had succeeded in one blow, so they stopped fighting fiercely and chose to withdraw quickly.

It wasn't until Liu Bei's army had all withdrawn from the battlefield that Zhang Chun heaved a sigh of relief, but suddenly he felt dizzy, his eyes darkened, and he was about to faint.

"General, your wound!"

A soldier next to him supported Zhang Chun, pointed to the wound on his right arm, and shouted in horror.

Only then did Zhang Chun notice that the wound on his right arm was already purple and blue, and even the blood that flowed out was no longer dark red, but black with a foul smell.

"This... arrow... is poisonous..."

Zhang Chun said weakly, he was already out of breath when speaking, and there was a risk of passing out at any time.

……

"Zilong, did Zhang Chun ever get hit by an arrow?"

Seeing the return of the generals, Lin Chao greeted them under the guard of Dian Wei, and asked.

Zhao Yun got off his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Supervisor, it's a good luck that this subordinate saved his life and shot Zhang Thief in the right arm."

"Okay, Zilong shot, Zhang Chun will surely die!" Lin Chao praised with joy. "So, Zhongshan can be settled!"

Just as Lin Chao expected, after Zhang Chun knew that he was poisoned, he quickly called the army doctor to treat him, but the doctor shook his head and sighed after seeing Zhang Chun's wound.

Helpless, Zhang Chun had no choice but to support his poisoned body and ordered the entire army to withdraw to Peiping.

When the army returned from camp to the north, Zhang Chun was already unconscious, and then fell into a coma.

Finally crossing Xu River and about to enter Beiping City, Zhang Chun couldn't hold on any longer and died of poison.

A generation of traitors died like a coward!

After Zhang Chun's death, the morale of the army fell precipitously, and the remaining defeated soldiers did not know where to go, so they had to continue to stick to Peiping.

A few days later, Liu Bei's army went north, crossed Xushui, and surrounded the entire city of Beiping.At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the surrounding area, but to surround it in all directions, and not even a mosquito can fly out.

Now that Zhang Chun is dead, the overall situation in Zhongshan has been decided. Without going north to Youzhou, there are only a group of remnants and defeated generals left in Beiping City. No matter how stubbornly they resist, it is only a matter of time before Kaesong surrenders.

The only thing to do now is to consume until the food in the city is exhausted, and the enemy army is unable to survive and is defeated on its own.

In mid-October, when the first heavy snowfall fell in northern Hebei, Liu Bei sent a letter of merit to Liu Yan, reporting all the wars, large and small, and the results of the past few months. The list of the scholars is listed, and Liu Yan is asked to report to the emperor and ask for credit for all the officers and men.

After Liu Yan received the memorial, he was overjoyed and sent it to the court overnight without any delay.

Of course, he will inevitably add luster to himself in the performance table.

To sum it up in one sentence, under the wise leadership of Liu Junlang, the governor of Jizhou, Zhongshan Captain Liu Xuande could achieve such results.Even if there is a reward from the imperial court, he will get the big head and Liu Bei will get the small head.

For this point, Liu Bei, who has been in the officialdom for many years, knows it well and doesn't point it out.

After all, getting [-]% depends on the face of others.

After Liu Yan submitted the form, he also activated his relationship with the court and China, taking this opportunity of military exploits, hoping to achieve his goal of returning to Beijing.

Under Liu Yan's earnest hope, finally in early November, the imperial court issued an imperial edict calling Liu Yan back to Beijing to serve as Zongzheng, and at the same time ordered Liu Bei to return to Beijing to show his merits.

The moment Liu Yan received the edict, his hands trembled a little, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words. He immediately wrote a letter to Liu Bei, ordering him to go to Beijing with him.

Three days later, Jun's order was delivered to Liu Bei.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei held an important meeting, and the content of the meeting was only two words, decision.

Should he leave now and enter Beijing with Liu Yan to receive the reward, or wait for the enemy troops in Beiping City to surrender before leaving for Beijing.

After Liu Bei passed on Liu Yan's letter to everyone, the civil and martial arts under his command were divided into two factions.

Tian Feng, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei agreed to enter Beijing now and accept the reward.After all, the battle has been fought for half a year, and now it has come to an end, and the defenders in Beiping City are not to worry about.

The most important thing to do right now is to go to Beijing to accept the emperor's reward, so as to boost morale and clearly define rewards and punishments. At the same time, Liu Bei, the captain of Zhongshan, can also be promoted one more official position, and civil and military officers can also be promoted to rank.

It's not that Tian Feng and the others are greedy for credit, but that Liu Bei is only the captain of Zhongshan, but he actually controls the entire Zhongshan County.

If the captain of Zhongshan can be turned into the prefect of Zhongshan, then Liu Bei can openly develop Zhongshan into his own territory, so as to recruit talents and govern the people.

Furthermore, the news that Zhongshan has been settled has already been announced. If Liu Bei does not rush to Beijing to fight for the position of Zhongshan prefect, in case the imperial court sends another prefect, how will Liu Bei deal with himself?

When the new prefect makes an order, will Liu Bei obey or refuse?
Waiting is always too passive, it is better to take the lead in going to Beijing and take the initiative.

However, Xun Chen, Zhao Yun, Lin Xi and others expressed their opposition, thinking that now that Peking is still undecided, it is not a good time to enter Beijing.

The two sides argued for a long time, but they couldn't convince each other. Instead, they quarreled with Liu Bei.

In the end, he habitually set his sights on Lin Chao.

"Zi Chu, what's your opinion, why don't you say a word?"

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Going back to Duke Xuande, Chao is just thinking about a problem. If you can't figure it out, it's not a good time to enter Beijing."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone who was arguing endlessly turned their attention to Lin Chao.

"What question is so critical?"

Liu Bei asked puzzledly, and at the same time, he also asked the doubts in his heart for everyone.

"When you enter Beijing, you must enter. It's just when and how to enter. In the end, it all depends on two words."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Lin Chao smiled slowly and said, "Benefits."

The sage has a saying, a gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, and a villain is a metaphor for profit.

In public, Lin Chao blatantly stated the word "benefit", which was unexpected by everyone.
