Chapter 197 Siege of Nanzheng
However, Liu Bei's ability to escape can be said to be the pinnacle, and Zhuge Liang didn't need to give him any advice.

It's a pity that this Northern Expedition to Hanzhong ended in such an absurd way, and was beaten by a villager, unable to advance or retreat.

This is something Zhuge Liang never expected.

"Come on!"

Liu Bei cried out in the rain.

Hear the news from left and right.

Liu Bei was extremely corrupt and said: "Order all the generals and schools to discuss matters, abandon the city and camp tonight, and return to Jiameng Pass!"

At night, when the rain became lighter, Liu Bei sent someone to order Wei Yan of Nanzheng to retreat together.

The [-] army marched clumsily on the muddy road to Jiameng Pass.

Due to the rain for more than ten days, the water swelled everywhere, and the water level was neither high nor low, so the vehicles could not move.

But for rowing, the water level was not enough, Zhuge Liang's car was also abandoned in the rain, and he was walked by a stronger soldier on his back.

In one day, he traveled less than fifty miles.

Liu Bei ordered the soldiers to dismantle all the bridges after crossing the bridge to prevent chasing soldiers.

Coupled with the shortage of food and grass, there was nothing to eat, and the wild vegetables on the roadside had long since disappeared, so the emaciated horse had to be killed.

Many people couldn't bear it, and fled in the middle of the night to vote for Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu didn't like these people at all, "Hmph, you came to my territory to kill me, now you can't stand it anymore, and you want to surrender to me for a living?"

"How can there be such a cheap thing, kill them all, and send cavalry to chase and kill Liu Bei!"

Zhang Lu sent a team of cavalry to chase and kill Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, the road was too difficult, and Liu Bei ambushed a wave, and the entire army of [-] cavalry was wiped out.

Three thousand war horses sent charcoal in the snow, which became the ration of Liu Bei's army.

After Zhang Lu knew about it, he was furious, so he could only close the city gate and concentrate on defending.

After more than ten days of trekking, Liu Bei and others finally came to Jiameng Pass.

The sky finally cleared up, and Liu Bei, who was in a panic, rode on his horse and asked Zhang Ren to come out and answer.

Zhang Ren took a chicken leg, came to the city wall, took a bite of the chicken, and said mockingly, "Isn't this Uncle Liu? Why won't it be enough to win Yizhou, and go to attack Hanzhong again, and suffer a loss, right?"

Sitting on the horse, Liu Bei asked sharply, "Zhang Yiling, I have treated you well, why did you betray me!"

Zhang Renyi laughed when he heard this: "You Liu Xuande is ambitious, and you are mainly against customers. You have occupied Yizhou, and now you are making money privately, and you have poor soldiers and military forces, and you are fighting everywhere."

"The people's name is not worth living. I withheld food and grass to return it to the people for you. Do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Liu Bei was furious: "Zhang Ren, you really want to betray me!"

Zhang Ren heard it amused, and said with a big laugh, "I only hate Ma Chao for being brave and foolish. He failed to hack you to death, failed to kill you, and captured Yizhou. What a good plan, but he messed it up."

"I have to say, it's your fate!"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang turned pale with fright. It turned out that when did Zhang Ren start the layout.

"You mean, Ma Chao was also arranged by you? To frame me?"

Zhang Ren said with a smile: "Of course, and, do you know why there is a lack of money in the city?"

"I'll tell you today that I have been tricked by Mr. Qianlong to secretly open a store to search for money, just to make you have no money to use."

Zhuge Liang was completely bewildered, "What? Qianlong's strategy?"

Seeing Liu Bei's group of people stunned, Zhang Ren felt so refreshed.

The long-standing forbearance and suppression have been vented at this moment.

Zhang Ren threw the chicken leg at Liu Bei and shouted on the city wall: "Since you like listening to stories so much, I might as well tell you one more thing."

"Luofengpo, it was Mr. Qianlong who asked me to ambush in advance. Mr. Qianlong had already figured out that Pang Tong would divide his troops to take a small path, and let me realize the ambush. Arrows pierced the heart and shot Pang Tong to death!"

"How about it, Liu Xuande, Zhuge Liang, are you surprised to hear this news?"

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, and it turned out that their actions were all in other people's calculations.

Zhuge Liang couldn't take this blow any longer, grabbed a sword, and shouted hoarsely: "Siege the city, attack the city for me!"

Zhang Feng and the others couldn't bear it long ago, bared their teeth and screamed crazily, wishing to gnaw Jiamengguan off with their teeth.

However, how could a group of exhausted troops defeat the garrisoned army in battle?

Zhang Ren shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

Immediately, arrows rained down from the city, shooting at Liu Bei.

Wei Yan risked his life to rescue Liu Bei, Lei Tong put Zhuge Liang on his back, left a lot of corpses, and went to Bazhou by detour.

After Zhang Ren's showdown, he did not go out of the city to pursue Liu Bei.

He only has [-] soldiers and horses now, no matter what Liu Bei said, he still has [-] troops.

Li Yan of Baishuiguan also led an army of [-]. Under Zhang Ren's persuasion, he surrendered Fang Jie and began to lead troops to attack Jiange.

However, the Jiange's terrain was too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and could not be attacked for a long time, so Li Yan returned without success.

Fang Jie knew that Liu Bei couldn't take it anymore, but he didn't chase after him because there was another Zhang Lu watching him.

Now that Liu Bei fled to the south, Zhang Ren asked his deputy Zhang Yi to serve as the guard of Jiameng Pass, leading an army of [-] to guard Jiameng Pass.

He and Li Yan came to the round with 16 troops and countless food and grass. The [-] troops set up four large squares outside Nanzheng City.

Zhang Lu was watching from the city with a fly whisk in his hand.

He himself was not that anxious, but his subordinates were like ants in a hot pot. Many people began to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender.

Don't drive Yang Song forward and said: "My lord, our army has a city to defend, and we have an army of one hundred thousand. Fang Jie and Zhang Xiu have an army from far away. Why should we be afraid of him?"

Engaged in Yan Pu said: "Don't be fooled by this statement. That Zhang Ren Li Yan is the mirror of Yizhou, Zhang Xiu is the prince of Wancheng, and Pang De knows our army is false and true. After a long attack, our army will be defeated!"

"In my opinion, my lord might as well surrender as soon as possible."

Yang Song said: "Surrender now, what benefits can you get? At least you have to set a price to surrender!"

Yang Song is also No. 1 in the world for being able to talk about bargaining so straightforwardly.

After all, Zhang Lu is a Taoist, and he has a good heart. He didn't blame Yang Song and Yan Pu, but did a self-criticism.

"Earlier, Ma Chao came to surrender, and then Liu Bei and Fang Jie came to attack, but I am not deep in practice, so I messed up myself."

"Last night I dreamed about Daozu. Daozu told me that I was lucky and lost my life. It made me suddenly enlightened."

"If they want to fight, just fight with him. If they want to talk, just talk with them. Why are there so many worries?"

These words are quite meaningful.

Everyone was speechless, and the soldiers and horses in the city also made an active defensive posture.

The lively scene in the city also resumed, which made Fang Jie a little puzzled.

At the poker table, Jialai asked carefully, "Why isn't Zhang Lu panicking?"

Xi Zuo said: "Zhang Lu said that he dreamed of the Taoist ancestor, and the Taoist ancestor asked him to act accordingly."

After making it carefully, Pang De and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, and Zhang Ren and Li Yan, who had a note on their head, were also a little puzzled.

Liu Bei was beaten away, Cao Jun was almost unharmed Liu Bei's army, logically speaking, Zhang Lu should be panicked.

Zhang Xiu asked: "Is this Zhang Lu so tough?"

Xu Shu said in a small way: "It's not that Zhang Lu is so strong, but he is sending us a message that he is willing to negotiate peace with us."
