Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 54 Zhang Ren
In the temple of Liangping County.

"Zhang does not like to defeat thieves today, but he likes to get justice." Liu Zhang confided to Zhang Ren, who was in charge.

In history, Zhang Ren, who sternly scolded Liu Bei for persuading him to surrender and resolutely expressed that "the old minister will never serve the two masters again", now looks like a young man instead of an old minister.

"Thank you Minggong for your compliment." Zhang Ren was wearing armor and could not salute easily, so he declined with his hands raised.

Liu Zhang looked at Zhang Ren and became more and more satisfied.

Zhang Ren in front of him is eight feet tall, has a beautiful appearance, wears bright light armor, and wears a white robe. He is full of heroic spirit and is unique in Sichuan.

He opened his mouth to recruit and said: "I originally wanted to count and award the military achievements of the generals after returning to Jiangzhou. However, Zhengyi came out on top today and captured Liu He, the leader of the thieves. I will temporarily declare Zhengyi as the captain. As for the rest of Zhengyi No matter how big or small the achievements are, we will discuss the merits after arriving in Jiangzhou."

"What does righteousness mean?"

Zhang Ren was overjoyed. This was exactly what he had been planning for this period of time, and according to Liu Zhang, his military exploits should be more than a captain.

Suddenly, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. He was born in a poor family and had no way to make progress. Although he was talented and ambitious, he only wasted his time as a scholar.

Ming Gong, who was at the top, was rewarded for his merits, regardless of his family background, which made him extremely enamored.

Zhang Ren was wearing armor and it was inconvenient for him to kneel down and worship, so he knelt down on one knee and raised his hands to express his feelings: "If I bow to you and thank Ming Gong, I will go through fire and water for Ming Gong, even if I die."

Liu Zhang stepped forward to help Zhang Ren up, took his hand and said, "Today we will serve wine to celebrate justice. The next day, we will go to Jiangzhou to recruit people from Yanba County and hold a big banquet to make justice famous in Ba County."

"Thank you Ming Gong." Zhang Ren thanked him again, feeling that Liu Zhang's kindness was as deep as the sea, and his contribution today was only a small reward.

The atmosphere in the county temple was harmonious, with cheers and cheers.

Inside the prison of the county temple, the atmosphere was gloomy and dead silent.

Until a cry of "Liu He, you have harmed us" broke the silence.

Bai Xi was slovenly, with loose buns and disheveled hair. His face was even more ferocious, and he cursed angrily at Jingzhou Farewell Liu He in the next cell.

Instead of saying farewell, he called Liu He by his name. It was obvious that he was very angry.

Xie Feng, who was beside Bai Xi, had a haggard look on his face. He lacked the dazzling spirit of the children of the aristocratic family in the past. He lowered his head and his hair was also in a mess. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu He was shouted and scolded by Bai Xi, but he did not make any response. He recalled today's battle.

In order to plan today's war, he paid too much. In front of Liu Biao, he threatened to shake Bashu alone. After entering Badi, he incited the big families of Bajun and seduced Qu Shuai, who was a traitor. Together, he had [-] to [-] troops.

He even carefully selected more than 3 people from the [-] people, and placed the Zhong Si people in the forward, and the Si people in the Shang Si were placed between the central formation and the front army. When they were exhausted, Liu Zhang placed them in the front army. The elite soldiers sent out the soldiers to win today's victory.

However, Liu Zhang had the same idea as him and placed the Shang Si in the front and middle position. However, comparing the two armies, Liu Zhang's army was obviously superior in support.

But there was no chance of victory, and he couldn't help but wonder what the problem was.

Liu He did not take the blame for the failure on himself, but was thinking about whose fault it was that he was a prisoner today.

Is it Liu Biao? Liu Biao did not raise his troops to march westward as agreed. Although it was what he wanted to see, it is really abominable that Liu Biao did not keep his promise.

Is it Lou Fa? These Qu commanders had different opinions. They cooperated when they saw advantages, but they avoided each other for fear of disaster. They actually set fire to the camp outside the city, surrounded them from behind, and cut off their escape route.

Is it Shengdao? They retreated on the battlefield. A group of them managed to escape to the city gate. However, Shengdao defended Liang Ping and refused to let him enter the city. He said that he had changed his mind anyway. They had no way to advance or retreat. In the end, they were all captured alive.

Thinking about it again, it seemed that the weather was not good today. The fog was too heavy in the morning, and dewdrops were growing on the grass, making it a bit slippery. It seemed that Pu Qushuai accidentally slipped and fell, and was stabbed by someone.

Thinking of this, Liu He turned his head and looked at Shengdao, who was sitting in the cell on the right. Although Shengdao was a rebel, he had participated in rebellion and was thrown into prison. However, looking at him, he had a calm look on his face and eyes. There was no trace of confusion, and he was enjoying the current treatment. Occasionally, the corners of his mouth would be raised, as if he remembered something happy.

At this time, he heard Bai Xi on the left still making noise, which made him feel angry, and finally scolded him back: "Bai Xi, it's you who have a rebellious intention, so you caused the disaster of extermination of our family, and with me What's the matter?"

Liu He was thinking of a way to deal with Liu Zhang's future interrogation. It was all the bad intentions of the Bajun clan. He was just a messenger and was dragged into it. His surname was Liu, and Liu Zhang was also surnamed Liu. They were both descendants of the clan, so how could they fight with each other? .He looked at Bai Xi disdainfully. Bai Xi, Xie Feng and their clansmen would definitely have a bad end, but he was different. He relied on his words, and they were all Han clan clan members. No matter what, Liu Zhang didn't They won't kill him, at most they will imprison him.

His life is long, there is no need to start a verbal dispute with a short-lived guy like Bai Xi.

As night falls, there are bonfires outside Liangping City, like stars.

After picking up a bowl of wine and drinking it, Zhao Liu felt completely refreshed and couldn't help bragging to the people sitting around the campfire.

"Today I was with Colonel Gan and saw him kill the man named Qu Shuai with my own eyes. His martial arts skills are truly unparalleled in the world."

"What Banzhenman is called a 'divine soldier'? Nai Gong killed six 'divine soldiers' today."

"Don't believe it, the head has been handed over to the meritorious officer for registration, and you will know when the merits are awarded." Seeing someone's suspicious eyes, Zhao Liu immediately defended, and then went on to brag.

"When it comes to fighting, no one can compare with us Qin people. Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yanqi, haven't they all been defeated by us Qin people?"

Speaking of pleasure, he couldn't help but sing about Qin Feng.

"No clothes? I'm in the same robe as my son. Wang Yuxing master, repair my spear, and share the same hatred with my son!"

The song was so impassioned that the people sitting around couldn't help but cheer.

"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat as my son. The king Yu Xingshi..."

"Well, why don't you continue to cheer for Mr. Nai?" Zhao Liu asked after hearing the sudden silence around him.

But when he saw that everyone was looking in his direction, he stood up and straightened his body, before bowing down.

Although he was not worshiping him, Zhao Liu realized that there might be some tiger behind him, and he was just taking advantage of the tiger's power, just when he wanted to turn around.

A gentle but majestic voice sounded: "No need to be polite, you should eat and drink."

As Zhao Liu, who was promoted to personal guard by Gan Ning, he immediately knew who it was. It was Liu Shijun.

He was about to stand up and salute, but a hand stretched out from behind and put on his shoulder, and unquestionable words rang in his ears.

"I told you, no need to be polite."

He had no choice but to sit down and look up. Liu Zhang also walked up to him, followed by Wu Junzheng and his brother Wu Ban.

"Qin Feng sang well." Liu Zhang praised Zhao Liu.

Zhao Liucheng was frightened and wanted to stand up to thank him again, but Liu Zhang had no choice but to push him down again.

"Thank you for your hard work in today's battle." Liu Zhang then boasted to everyone present, glanced at Zhao Liu's empty bowl, he picked up a jar of wine and motioned for Zhao Liu to pick up the wine glass.

Zhao Liu was flattered. He held the wine glass with trembling hands and watched Liu Zhang fill the glass for him.

"The warrior has made great achievements in battle today, please drink this cup to the full." Liu Zhang smiled and asked Zhao Liu to take a swig. He heard what Zhao Liu had just said about boasting about his military exploits.

Zhao Liudun felt that his eyes were moist, and he picked up the wine glass without hesitation and drank it down in one gulp.

Wu Yi, who was following Liu Zhang, looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel a lot. Regardless of whether he was high or low, Liu Zhang received him attentively and sincerely. He was a rare wise master in the world.

Seeing that everyone was a little restrained, Liu Zhang gave up his plan to have a drink here, told them to eat and drink well, and then rode away.

After coming out of the Chinese Army's tent, he walked around and returned to the Chinese Army's tent. As soon as he arrived at the door of the Chinese Army's tent, he heard Xu Meng shouting.

"Xingba, tonight you and I should sleep together." Xu Meng called Gan Ning's cousin affectionately and invited him to sleep with him. Gan Ning extended a helping hand in the battle today, and the past festivals disappeared. He wanted to be with Gan Ning. Gan Ning closes the relationship.

But Xingba declined and said, "Unfortunately, I have an appointment with Ming Gong to sleep with me tonight."
