Lu Dynasty

Chapter 824 Zhang Lu's Ghost Pawn

Zhang Song came to the top of the city and shouted to me: "King of Qin! Since my lord wants to surrender, he will naturally surrender to an invincible vassal, and also guarantee my lord's life. I hope King Qin can give my lord some time to think about it!"

"Zhang Yongnian! Tell Liu Zhang that as long as he surrenders, I will treat him kindly!" I stood under the city and said with a smile, "I have already prepared a mansion in Luoyang. As long as he goes, at least he can become a rich man."

Zhang Song said with a smile: "Then please retreat first, King Qin!"

"Well! I'll give you Zhang Song a face!" I led the troops back to the camp, and Zhang Song hurried to see Liu Zhang!
"What did Lu Feng say?" Liu Zhang smiled wryly, "I'm sure you won't agree!"

But Zhang Song laughed and said, "I told you that Lu Fengfeng agreed, but my lord still doesn't believe me. Wait! If Cao and Sun Quan are really defeated, we have to prepare for the worst!"

"Really agree?" Liu Zhang asked incredulously, "How did Yongnian do it?"

Zhang Song said with a wry smile: "My lord, don't you get angry if I say something nasty?"

"En!" Liu Zhang nodded.

"Cao and Sun Quan are probably really defeated!" Zhang Song's words made Liu Zhang jump up from his chair!
"What did you say?" Liu Zhang asked with a livid face, "If you can't make sense, then you're messing with our army. Believe it or not, I'll kill you?"

"My lord, you can indeed kill me, but without my advice, what would you do? It is said that Lu Feng never fights uncertain battles. Since he dares to agree with you to wait for news, it probably won't be a good thing for you." What good news!" Zhang Song shook his head and said, "If Cao and Sun Quan are really defeated, Huang Quan and others are more loyal than wise, and if they plan for you, they will definitely persuade you to stick to it. If the city is destroyed, your whole family will die It's over!"

Liu Zhang seemed to have been robbed of all his strength suddenly. He slumped on the chair and muttered, "What should I do? What should I do?"

Seeing Liu Zhang being so useless, Zhang Song felt very disdainful, but he didn't want to add insult to injury, so Zhang Song said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to be like this. Isn't there no news yet? Maybe Lu Feng just wants to disturb the morale of our army!"

"Yes!" Liu Zhang seemed to see light in the darkness, he took Zhang Song's hand and said, "Hurry up and send someone to investigate, we must find out whether Cao and Sun Quan won or lost!"

"Yes!" Zhang Song withdrew slowly, leaving Liu Zhang alone in a daze.

I persuaded him to surrender and return to the city, only to see that someone was already waiting for me in the big tent, it turned out to be Zhang Lu.Seeing me coming back, Zhang Lu immediately asked: "King Qin, then Liu Zhang has revenge for killing my mother, and now you persuade him to surrender, how can I get revenge for my vengeance?"

"Gongqi! Sit down!" I told Zhang Lu to sit down and said, "Gongqi also knows that the city of Chengdu is high and powerful. If we attack by force, how many soldiers will our army die?"

"But my vengeance..."

"Let's do it!" Before Zhang Lu could speak, I waved my hand and said, "I'll give you a chance, it's up to you whether you can take revenge or not!"

When Zhang Lu heard it, he immediately laughed and said, "I would like to ask Qin Wangming to tell you, I will listen carefully!"

"It's nothing!" I laughed and said, "Your father and son are preaching in Sichuan, I believe there should be many religious people and ghost soldiers!"

"This..." Zhang Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "There are not many religious people. These people come for rice and low taxes. As for the ghost soldiers, there should be some scattered among the people!"

I laughed and said, "Then you call them up to attack Chengdu. If you can take Chengdu before Liu Zhang surrenders, Liu Zhang's family will be yours! If you can't take Chengdu, then..."

As soon as Zhang Lu heard it, he understood that I wanted to eliminate the influence of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Sichuan.But Zhang Lu also understands that such a large force is not under my control, which is not good for me or him.So Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Thank you King Qin for giving me the opportunity, I'm going to gather ghost soldiers to attack Chengdu!"

Zhang Lu's appeal was really extraordinary, and he summoned [-] ghost soldiers in just one day.When Zhang Lu's army came to Chengdu, Liu Zhang thought our army was going to attack the city!It was Zhang Song who had sharp eyesight and could tell the difference between Zhang Lu's army and our army at a glance.And Liu Zhang is afraid of our army, but not Zhang Lu. After all, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu have been fighting for not a day or two!

Liu Zhang stood on the top of the wall, looked at Zhang Lu with a ferocious face, and said, "Zhang Gongqi, Lu Feng has promised to give me time to think about it, how can you disobey his order?"

Zhang Lu licked his tongue and said: "King Qin said, as long as he is not one of his own people, he will always protect our shortcomings as long as we abuse him. As for giving you time to think about it, that is also true, otherwise I will not be the one who attacked the city Yes! Your Majesty said, if you don’t surrender before I break through the city, your whole family will belong to me!”

Liu Zhang's hands and feet are cold, if his whole family belongs to Zhang Lu, everyone knows what will happen.But Liu Zhang is still a little lucky. If the news about Sun Quan and Cao's defeat is false, our army will have to retreat!Looking at the ferocious Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "With your rabble, do you still want to take down Chengdu? I'm waiting for you!"

The siege of the city has always been tragic. The living people were hacked into corpses, or declined from the city, turned into disabilities, or even flesh.But Zhang Lu's ghost soldiers didn't seem to know what death was, and they were desperately climbing the towering city of Chengdu.Even Ma Chao and Meng Da, who were guarding the city, were a little chilled seeing these crazy pawns!

Zhang Lu led the troops to attack for three days in a row. Chengdu was on the verge of collapse every day, but he persisted every day.Most of the ghost soldiers were killed or injured. Zhang Lu saw that his strength was almost exhausted, so he came to me and said, "King Qin, I think Chengdu will be very difficult to capture!"

"You can't blame me!" I looked at Zhang Lu and said with a smile: "I gave the opportunity, but if you can't do it, I can't help it either!"

Zhang Lu bowed and said, "King Qin, I'm surrendering to you now! We Ming people don't talk dark words. You want to use Chengdu to consume my strength. Now that my ghost soldiers are exhausted, I will definitely not treat you Cause influence. I don’t want Liu Zhang’s family either, I just hope that the prime minister can give Liu Zhang to me!”

"That's absolutely impossible!" I looked at Zhang Lu and said with a smile: "If Liu Zhang surrenders, I will naturally treat him kindly. If I hand him over to you, who will surrender to me in the future? However, As the saying goes: People have three disasters and five disasters. I will let Liu Zhang live in Luoyang. This person is very strange. If he moves from one place to another, he may not be acclimatized! If Liu Zhang dies of illness, or his whole family dies of illness, then he will be with me. It’s irrelevant! But, it must not be noticed, otherwise I will definitely use something to block the mouths of the people in the world, I wonder if Gong Qi understands?”

"My subordinates don't understand!" Zhang Lu laughed and said, "What did King Qin say to me?"
