Han Shimou

That night, the banquet was set, and Liu Bei led his troops to the banquet.Liu Zhang and Liu Bei sat down as guests and hosts, and narrated their heartfelt songs to each other in detail.When the wine was half drunk, Liu Gui, Ling Bao and Deng Xian each looked at each other, Leng Bao drew his sword and entered the way.

"There is no joy in the banquet, and I would like to dance swords as a show. Bo Jun smiles!"

At the same time, Liu Gui called all the warriors to enter and lined up in the hall, waiting for Leng Bao to attack.All the generals under Liu Bei saw Leng Bao dancing with swords before the banquet, and saw the warriors holding their sword targets, looking directly at the hall.Kuai Liang was startled, and hurriedly signaled to Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong stared at him, and he also swung his sword and danced.

"Dancing swords must be right, the old man is willing to dance with General Leng."

As soon as Huang Zhong finished speaking, he stepped out. Seeing Huang Zhong was old, Leng Bao laughed at him for being overwhelmed.Unexpectedly, the two danced together, Leng Bao knew that Huang Zhong was powerful, his arms were paralyzed by the force of Huang Zhong's sword, and it was difficult to exert strength.Leng Bao looked at Liu Gui anxiously, Liu Gui got up angrily and drew his sword to help.Huang Zhong fought against the two of them, his swordsmanship was thick and powerful, without any mess, while Leng Bao and Liu Gui were beaten by Huang Zhong until they cried out inwardly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Deng Xian immediately grabbed the wine glass and was about to drop it.At this moment, Hua Xiong and Tai Shici drew their swords and shouted.

"I'm waiting for a group dance to help a smile."

Hua Xiong and Tai Shici exuded a mighty aura, they approached the generals of Xichuan, Hua Xiong even stepped closer to Deng Xian, his tiger eyes were murderous, frightening Deng Xian out of his wits.

Kuai Liang quickly cast a wink at Liu Bei.Liu Bei comprehended it, pretended to be shocked, hurriedly swiped the swords on his left and right sides, stood on the table and shouted sharply.

"We have no doubts about having a drink when our brothers meet. It's not at the Hongmen Banquet, where Gaozu will be in Xiangji. Why dance with a sword? Those who don't give up the sword will be killed immediately!"

Liu Zhang's eyes were blurred by the cold light from Liu Bei's sword, and then he came to his senses and shouted sharply.

"Brothers get together, flesh and blood blend, why do you need a murderous weapon!?"

Liu Zhang then ordered the guards to take off their swords, and gave Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Hua Xiong three generals wine, and comforted them in a soft voice.

"My brothers are of the same blood, discuss important issues together, and have no two minds. Don't doubt it."

The third general looked cold and did not go to pick him up.Liu Bei looked anxiously, and the three generals just took over and thanked him.Liu Zhang held Liu Bei's hand again and said.

"The Han Dynasty is lonely, and my brothers are close relatives in the world, and I will never lose to my brother. This heart can be learned from the sun and the moon, and I hope that my brother will not mind today's affairs."

Although Liu Bei had resentment in his heart, he said falsely.

"Brother, how do you treat Bei? How can Bei not know. Besides, the generals are just trying to add to the fun, and have no intention of harming Bei. How can Bei care?"

Seeing that Liu Bei had no complaints, Liu Zhang lamented his generosity, and the two of them drank happily until late and parted ways.After the banquet was over, Liu Zhang couldn't help berating Liu Gui, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian.It's just this one time, if he dares to murder Liu Bei again, he will be killed!Liu Gui, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian resigned and left. They all harbored resentment towards Liu Zhang regardless of loyalty.

But when Liu Bei returned to the library, Wen Pin frowned and remonstrated.

"Does the general see the scene at the banquet today? It's better to go back to Jingzhou as soon as possible to avoid future troubles."

Liu Bei still had lingering fears when he thought of today's events, but when he thought of the current situation, if he didn't seize Yizhou at this time, there would be no chance, so he shook his head and refused to speak.

"General Wen, don't worry too much. My younger brother Liu Jiyu trusts me deeply, and he will never bear to harm each other."

Liu Feng, who was on the side, listened to the words and also remonstrated.

"The adoptive father should not be careless. Although Liu Jiyu doesn't have this kind of heart, I think everyone under him is like the adoptive father! If you don't get rid of it, how can you feel at ease?"

When Liu Bei heard the words, his eyes were gloomy, and he decided to murder Liu Gui, Ling Bao, and Deng Xian.Afterwards, he discussed with Kuai Liang for a while, but the time has not come yet, so let's put it on hold.

The next day, an urgent report came from Chengdu, saying that the governor Zhang Ren was repeatedly defeated by Wenhan's army, lost Anhan and Wakou Pass, and the [-] troops in Dongchuan were almost extinct.The Northwest Army is unstoppable, and has taken back [-]% of the counties and counties in Dongchuan. It is preparing to integrate the army to capture Jiameng Pass and invade the border of Xichuan!

Liu Zhang was shocked when he heard the news, his face was like ashes, Jiamengguan is the gateway of Yizhou, if there is any loss, Yizhou will be lost forever!Liu Zhang was also annoyed that Zhang Ren was incompetent and lost Dongchuan, so that Yizhou is currently in danger.

"This auntie is really incompetent. He has defeated all the soldiers and sent someone to ask for help before he dies!"

After Liu Zhang finished drinking, he wanted to order Zhang Ren to be imprisoned and taken away from him as commander-in-chief.Liu Bei heard the words and hurried out of the way of admonition.

"Brother Zong, calm down your anger. It is said that the three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Although Zhang Ren is guilty, he has made many military exploits in the past and won the popularity of the people in the middle of Sichuan. He should not be lightly punished. Furthermore, changing the commander in battle is a big deal. It's a big taboo for military strategists, please think twice!"

When Liu Zhang heard this, his anger subsided a little, and he asked Liu Bei.

"According to brother Zong's opinion, so what?"

"If I don't think my brother is not talented, I am willing to lead [-] soldiers to rescue Jiameng Pass and resist the Northwest army, and Yizhou will be at peace. If I fail, I am willing to suffer together with General Zhang!"

Liu Bei begged for his life generously and took the initiative to ask for Ying.Liu Zhang was overjoyed, so he allocated [-] soldiers and horses to Liu Bei to rush to Jiameng Pass.Wen Han's army was pressing down on the border, and Liu Zhang was afraid that Liu Bei would be difficult to stop, so he urgently ordered the generals to guard all the passes to prevent Liu Bei's defeat.The governors of Baishui, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, obeyed the order and guarded the Fushui pass.Liu Zhang led the remaining soldiers back to Chengdu.

It is said that Liu Bei borrowed [-] soldiers and horses from Liu Zhang, and marched at Jiameng Pass at starry night.

But it is said that Wen Han swung his troops and horses, and Zhao Yun led [-] soldiers to Jiameng Pass first. Day and night divided troops to attack, Zhang Ren cooperated with Jiameng Guanyuan guard Huo Jun, desperately blocked.But in the northwest, there are many soldiers and the offensive is fierce. Seeing that the Jiameng pass will be broken soon, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, the morale of the army is low, and all the soldiers are afraid of fighting. Zhang Ren and Huo Jun are very anxious.

Just when it was extremely urgent, a report finally came from Chengdu, and Fazheng came and told Zhang Ren that Liu Bei was leading an army of [-] to Jiameng Pass for rescue, and he would arrive soon.

When Zhang Ren heard Liu Bei leading the troops, his expression changed again and again, he was surprised and puzzled, and there was a bit of vigilance in his eyes.Fazheng knew that Zhang Ren was a loyal man, so he immediately told the past, and at the same time, he explained in detail the previous incidents of Liu Bei's intercession in front of Liu Zhang.

"Uncle Liu Huang is a man of benevolence and righteousness. General Zhang does not need to worry too much. If Uncle Liu Huang hadn't pleaded with the lord before, I am afraid that General Zhang would have been imprisoned by now."

Zhang Ren's eyes were cold, but he didn't appreciate it, and he snorted coldly.

"Hypocritical, villainous tricks! I know I'm guilty, so I don't need him to intercede for me. As long as I repel Wen Bufan's thieves, I will ask my lord for guilt!!!"

Fazheng saw that Zhang Ren was so staunch, and knew that he was like Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Liu Gui and others, so he didn't like Liu Bei.Immediately changed the subject.

"It's my lord's intention to order Uncle Liu to lead the troops to help. I also hope that General Zhang will put the overall situation first and work together with Uncle Liu to repel the villains."

Zhang Ren turned around abruptly, his tiger eyes widened, and he looked straight into Fazheng's eyes. Under Zhang Ren's dignified gaze, Fazheng felt a sense of guilt for some reason, and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Ren.

"Fa Xiaozhi! Don't look at you as a courtier in the middle of Shu, and what you eat is the salary of the middle of Shu. If one day, I find out that you have dissatisfaction with the lord. At that time, don't blame me for disregarding your friendship and killing relatives righteously! !!"

"Zhang Guyi, you!!!"

Zhang Ren's words pierced Fazheng's heart like a sharp sword.Fazheng's eyes widened suddenly, wanting to refute, but there was a ghost in his heart, so he was speechless for a while.Zhang Ren snorted coldly, and then ordered the soldiers to send out Fazheng.Fazheng left with a sullen face and angrily.

When Fazheng walked out, thinking of what Zhang Rengang had said, he felt his heart throbbing, stood for a long time, and sighed secretly in his heart.

"Hey~! Zhang Guyi, Zhang Guyi! It's not that I'm filial piety and I'm just selling out to my master for glory. It's actually that Liu Jiyu is incompetent and cowardly, and doesn't know how to use talents. "

After Fazheng sighed, he left lonely.The Xichuan soldiers around him seemed to know some information, and pointed at Fazheng secretly, and some of them even glared at him.

The next day, Zhao Yun led his troops to attack again.Zhang appointed soldiers to guard the pass, and the sound of shouting and killing was endless when the pass was closed, rocks flew and arrows fell like torrential rain.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of wind and dust behind the pass, and the flags covered the sun. I don't know how many soldiers and horses came.Hearing the exclamation of the soldiers behind him, Zhao Yun glanced anxiously, was startled, did not dare to act rashly, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw back to the village.Seeing this, Zhang Ren took advantage of the situation and taught Yan Yan and Ma Chao to lead a team of light cavalry each to go out of the pass to cover up the killing.

Yan Yan and Ma Chao took the orders, grabbed their weapons, galloped out on their horses, and led their troops into the Northwest Army, killing the Northwest Army who could not escape into chaos.Seeing Liu Bei on the mountain, he secretly lamented Yan Yan, Ma Chao's bravery, and Zhang Ren's command of the army.

Yan Yan and Ma Chao came back after a small victory, and were about to come to see Zhang Ren. At this time, the [-] troops led by Liu Bei also rushed to the pass.Zhang Ren's face was cold and cold, he just came out of the battle building, he happened to meet Yan Yan and Ma Chao, so he ordered the two generals to accompany him to meet Liu Bei.Yan Yan saw that Zhang Ren's face was not good, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed closely.Ma Chao's lion's eyes lit up again and again, thinking about something.

When he was young, Zhang Ren led all the generals in the pass out of the gate, Liu Bei hurriedly got off his horse and paid homage.

"I've heard about General Zhang's great name for a long time, and it's like thunder. I hate that Yunshan is far away, and I can't listen to the teaching. It's really a blessing to see the dignity today."

Liu Bei was full of enthusiasm, but it stuck to Zhang Ren's cold face.Zhang Ren held the ceremony slightly and dealt with it casually, squinting at Liu Bei and said.

"Uncle Liu Huang is not afraid of hard work, and has come from a long way. It is not surprising that he is greeted from afar."

Zhang Ren said coldly, but Liu Bei smiled, held Zhang Ren's hand, and expressed his admiration.Zhang Ren frowned, the so-called stretching out his hand does not hit a smiling face, not to mention Liu Bei's kindness to him before.Although Zhang Ren didn't like Liu Bei, he was torn face to face by the bad guy. Moreover, when he was facing a big enemy and was in need of personnel, Liu Bei didn't have many troops, but he had Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Hua Xiong under his command. The fierce generals are all famous and powerful generals in the world. If they can get help, they will increase their chances of winning against the Northwest Army.

Zhang Rensui refrained from his coldness, forced a smile, and led Liu Bei and the others to enter the pass.After receiving the wind, Zhang Ren gathered in the battle building that night to discuss.

Zhang Ren sat in the high hall, concentrating on the Tao.

"Jiameng Pass is in an emergency today. Zhao Zilong has been leading the army to storm the pass for a long time now. Our army's morale is low. We just need one person to break through it to boost morale. But Zhao Zilong is a general in the Northwest. , no one can be against. I am afraid that there is no one in the account who is his opponent."

While talking, Zhang Ren secretly looked at the generals behind Liu Bei.As soon as Zhang Ren finished speaking, a person suddenly uttered a sharp voice, shouting angrily. "Captain Zhang, why do you underestimate everyone! Although this old man is not talented, I would like to decapitate that Zhao Zilong and offer it to my subordinates!!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals in Xichuan changed their expressions one after another, and they hurriedly cast their eyes on the old general Huang Zhongye.Zhang Ren was overjoyed, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said.

"General Huang is old and strong. In the past, he shot and killed Sun Wentai, the fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. Everyone in the world knows the courage of the old general. Zhao Zilong is in the middle of his life, and he is stronger than Sun Wentai when he was young. General Huang may not be Zhao Zilong's opponent."

When Huang Zhong heard this, his white hair stood on end, his anger burst into flames, and he said.

"As Dudu Zhang said, it means that the reason why the old man was able to shoot and kill Sun Wentai was because he was old and not as good as before?

Zhang Ren saw that Huang Zhong had been hit by his aggressive method, he was secretly happy, but he pretended to say so.

"Zhang is just telling the truth, if he violates General Huang's dignity by mistake, I hope that General Huang will not be blamed."
