Chapter 236

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the sky is as black as the bottom of a pot.

Sure enough, Zhang Ren lay in ambush on the hillside. Because he was afraid of being exposed, he only brought 3000 troops, all of whom were experienced and accurate crossbowmen.In the dark night, seeing Zhang Xiu's subordinates sneaking forward with only a torch, Zhang Ren secretly laughed in his heart, because he was afraid of revealing his whereabouts and wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on the city. In fact, Guo Jia arranged this because he was afraid of exposing the Iron Buddha Tu.

Zhang Ren wanted to capture Yuan Xi and make a great contribution, his opponent said: "Don't make a sound, let the former army go, when Yuan Xi comes, shoot me to death with random arrows."

When Wen Chou and Zhang Xiu came, they heard Guo Jia's instructions and knew that Zhang Ren would definitely lay an ambush in Luofengpo, so how could they not prepare carefully.I made both of them wear three layers of armor before releasing them.Immediate losses cannot be eaten!Wen Chou was being overwhelmed by the armor, when suddenly, by the dim light of the only torch, he saw the words Luofengpo engraved on a stone wall by the side of the road, which was hidden by thorns.Thinking that this is the place, he immediately cheered up and said to Tie Futu behind him: "Everyone, be careful, don't make any noise, go quickly."

Zhang Ren on the hillside couldn't see who the speaker was, but he knew it must be a general.Damn, even if you can't kill Yuan Xi, cut off one of his arms. : "Shoot the arrow, shoot at that officer—" The horn sounded on the hillside, and a gust of locusts rushed out of the grass——

Wen Chou had already pulled himself together, and when he heard the sound of the horn, he immediately rolled off the saddle.Even so, twenty or thirty arrows were shot all over his body.But it was useless, all of them were blocked by his armor, and some were caught in the scales and hung on his body.Zhang Ren thought that Wen Chou was dead, and was overjoyed, so he ordered his soldiers to shoot at the Tiefutu.After a burst of pouring, he led the soldiers to kill from the dense hillside.The leaves were rustling with the sound of killing.It was too dark to see clearly, anyway, Zhang Ren heard a scream, Yuan Jun soldiers fled on horseback, quite chaotic.Zhang Ren felt that the battle had already been won.

Zhang Ren, who bravely rushed down the hillside, found that the situation was quite different from what he had imagined. Yuan Bing, who had just been hit by an arrow and screamed, was sitting on his horse safe and sound.The confusion also seemed to be feigned.He was very surprised by the sound of metal clattering, he had never heard it before.And those knights on horseback seem to be shining——

Wen Chou laughed and got up from the ground and jumped on the horseback: "Mr. Zhang Ren, you have fallen into Mr. Guo's trick to lure the enemy." The Feiyun gun suddenly pierced a Shu soldier who had rushed down, and the body was thrown out.Immediately after a whistle, the Tiefutu warrior behind him rushed forward.Thousands of torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the sky all at once.

"Monster—monster—" Zhang Ren gasped, no wonder so many bows and arrows shot at him, and he was safe. It turned out that Yuan Xi raised an iron monster. "Run—"

Zhang Ren was dejected and took the lead to run back.The soldiers under him are all infantry. They ran past Wen Chou and Tie Futu there, and they overtook them in a few strokes. With their tails in their mouths, they slashed desperately. The Shu soldiers couldn't fight back at all. The iron monster on the horse, They were invulnerable, and the arrows bounced back. The soldiers on the run, in bursts of despair, knelt down on the side of the road and begged for surrender.When approaching the exit of the small road, there were only 50 or [-] people left around Zhang Ren.He still kept running, and he wanted to run back to report to the prince that there were a group of iron monsters in Yuan Jun.

"Father, where to go, Zhang Xiu has been waiting here for a long time." A big black man stood in front of him.Zhang Rencai remembered that he had let a group of Yuan Bing go there just now, and it turned out that they were already waiting here to capture me alive.

It's not that easy, Zhang Ren roared, jumped up, and slashed at Zhang Xiu.The fifty or so soldiers behind him saw the iron monster behind Zhang Xiu, and fell to their knees without saying a word.Only Zhang Ren was left, desperately resisting.Zhang Xiu played four or five moves with Zhang Ren as if teasing, and poked Zhang Ren's throat with a gun, and said with a sneer, "Tie up General Zhang and take him back to the camp for the master to deal with." At that time, Zhang Xiu pressed Zhang Ren in.

When I was thinking about how to fight Liu Bei desperately, I suddenly saw Zhang Ren standing in the open place of the handsome tent with his arms tied behind his back.Zhang Ren is not young anymore, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead are very thick and deep, the cyan armor is not neatly pulled by the hemp rope, the helmet baby has been beaten, and the hair on the top of his head has become sparse and disordered.There was a little frustration in the eyes, but there was absolutely no trace of fear.He stood quietly in the middle of the room.His calm eyes and calm face showed his confidence.I was still sitting firmly on the cushion, with my elbows supporting my legs, my fingers crossed and my head motionless staring sideways.I rolled my eyelids, thinking about how I should treat this person. It stands to reason that such a wise and courageous general should be subdued.But although Zhang Ren is powerful, he is full of arrogance, and his bones are extremely hard.He will not surrender.He would not listen to words of contempt and contempt to this man.It would be a waste of words to persuade him to surrender, Zhang Ren only loyal to Liu Zhang's corrupt regime.

But without saying a word, my emotions are hard to calm down, after all, I am a rare general in the world.
I stood up from the ground, walked slowly in front of Zhang Ren, and stared closely at those eyes.Zhang Ren was neither timid nor evasive, and stared at me quietly, his eyes facing each other.I smiled and said sincerely, "You, do you want to surrender?" The muscles on Zhang Ren's cheeks twitched.I asked again: "If you surrender, you can become the governor of Yizhou." Zhang Xiu said: "I'll lock him up first and let him think about it."

Only then did Zhang Ren spit out a sentence: "Give me a knife, I will be happy, and you will save trouble. Later, I will have an explanation with the King of Shu."

Guo Jia rushed in. He was smiling at first, but when he saw Zhang Ren, he shut his mouth and greeted Zhang Xiu: "I caught it, okay, okay, I have a way to get Luocheng here, let's discuss it. Then Walking up to Zhang Ren, he patted him on the shoulder: "Come and listen to my plan, see if I can drive that wretched King of Shu, whom you are loyal to, out of Chengdu. "Zhang Ren didn't expect Guo Jia to torture him like this, his lips turned white and quivered, and his face turned blue all of a sudden: "I just want to die quickly. Zhang Xiu sneered, pressed his hands on his shoulders, forced him to the ground and sat down, Zhang Ren felt sad, tilted his head to one side, closed his eyes, and sighed.

Guo Jia looked at the dimming starlight outside the tent: "Let's hurry up and have a meeting. Before noon, break through the Fuchu camp and go straight to Luocheng—"

Zhang Ren was chopped off and used to sacrifice the flag.In order to intimidate and help Chu, the heads were hung on the flagpoles of Zhuo Ying, Xiang Cun, and Deng Xian.These three are surrendered generals. According to the strategy of attacking the heart, it would be best to send them to attack the village.

The news of Zhang Ren's arrest has long spread.The backbone of the defenders was taken out, and people were panicked.A terrifying atmosphere enveloped the soldiers of Shu like dark clouds.

The battle to attack Dazhai was not fierce at all.The ballista division's catapult machine and flying shuttle giant crossbow crushed the defenders in the village out of breath.When Yuan Bing attacked the gate of the village, he found that the defenders were so weak that they didn't look like they were on guard at all.Many soldiers fled to the mountains and forests along winding paths while the sky was still dark.After entering the big camp, the Shu soldiers who fled in anticipation of the wind blocked it more like a fence with rotten wooden stakes.Yuan Bing is destroying the dead.

Fu Chu led his troops to resist, but his lieutenant general Zhang Yi cut off his head with a knife from behind——

Yuan Bing rested for a whole day, and on the second day, surrounded by many surrendered generals, I brought a hundred thousand Yuan soldiers and gathered in Luocheng.Liu Xun is not a flamboyant young man, he is much stronger than his father, maybe if he becomes king of Shu, Yizhou will become stronger, but unfortunately, he will not have that chance.

The surrendered generals under the city cursed and kept showing up to speak out.Zhang Yi, Xiang Cun and others appeared one after another to persuade the soldiers and civilians to surrender, and the golden ticket was beautiful.Liu Xun was furious, stood at the top of the city and cursed everyone, and ordered Wu Lanlei to lead troops to fight.The two bravely led their troops out, rushed to the opposite of Yuan Jun with shouts, and dismounted together: "Prime Minister, we two are willing to surrender."

I almost died of anger, thinking you two idiots, if you want to surrender, why don't you catch Liu Xun and offer it to me.so stupid.

Liu Xun became even more angry, and almost rolled his eyes and fell to his death: "You, you two bastards, I—" Ren Kui said angrily, "Young Master will be the last general to fight, and I will definitely tear them into pieces." Liu Xun said in his heart, you Don't follow me this way, let you out, and definitely surrender.He said unhappily: "Stick to the city and don't go to war. Whoever wants to go to war will be punished as rebellion." Ren Kui didn't want to surrender, he was wronged, but he understood Liu Xun.Wu Lan and Lei Tong are too insignificant! !

I immediately dispatched generals to let Wu Lan guard the east gate, Lei Tong guard the south gate, and Zhuo Ying guard the north gate.Simon was left alone.I think this eldest prince is likely to escape tonight.

Guo Jia and others also think so.Liu Xun has lost all vigor, and will definitely run back to meet his father.Zhang Xiu suggested to capture him alive, but Guo Jia said, "No, let him go back to see Liu Zhang, so that Liu Zhang can surrender without worry. If Liu Xun is captured, rumors will spread that Liu Xun is dead, and Liu Zhang will surrender to Liu Bei in a rage." Zhang Xiu was deeply impressed.

Liu Xun escaped from the unguarded Ximen at night.Before leaving, he said to Ren Kui: "I'm going to Chengdu to ask for help. You must stick to it for half a month. Wait for the help to come." Ren Kui nodded again and again, swore, and said, "Don't worry, prince, don't say that half a month is just a month." What about the year, no problem." Liu Xun made a wish for him to be an official again, and praised him, saying that Ren Kui was dedicated to his duties, a famous general in the world, victorious in every battle, and a pillar of the country.It is said that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth.Then slap your ass and leave.

Ren Kui was not polite to him either. Looking at the direction where Liu Xun's back disappeared, he said to his subordinates: "Hurry up, surrender in Kaesong, and organize the residents to line up the road to welcome Prime Minister Yuan. Damn, the limelight is all overwhelmed by the two bastards, Wu Lan and Lei Tong." I snatched all the eggs, and I don’t know if there are any rewards from high officials. You don’t even call me when you surrender.” Very angry.

Yuan Jun entered Luocheng amidst flowers and cheers.It feels like returning to Yecheng.

Ren Kui made the welcoming ceremony lively, and even asked a few village girls with heavy makeup to come up and present flowers.They also invited four or five old scholars to kneel down in front of the horse and recite poems;I sat on the horse and accepted it calmly.He turned his eyes sideways to see Guo Jia's expression.Guo Jia's expression was as usual, and he was a little excited. He was in favor of proclaiming himself emperor.The problem lies with Xun Yu and Zhao Yun. I don't know what these two people are thinking.

After reading the poem, Ren Kui stretched out an arm from the civil and military generals and shouted: "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome. Long live the prime minister, long live the prime minister." The militia team that had already been prepared responded immediately, shouting loudly: " Long live, long live." Ren Kui knelt down on the ground, weeping bitterly: "Prime Minister, Liu Zhang is a traitor, resisting the heavenly soldiers, and his crime is unbearable. The last general, Ren Kui, tried to persuade him repeatedly and refused. I really hate him, Please let the prime minister let the last general be the vanguard, and go to attack Chengdu. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ."I thought to myself, mother, you are really a loyal minister.Isn't it just to get promoted and get rich by doing so many tricks?OK, no problem, the more people like this, the better.Must be satisfied.

I hurriedly got off my horse, helped him up, stroked his back and said, "General Ren, you are really a loyal minister. I made you a general protecting the army, concurrently the prefect of Nan'an, and the Marquis of Guannei. Tomorrow, I will give the general [-] troops and go to Chengdu. This breaks Shu I gave you the head work, you have to do it yourself."

Not only Ren Kui was overjoyed, but many ministers were extremely happy.These few words illustrate two problems. First, Yuan Xi treats the heroes generously, and there is no disadvantage in surrendering.Second, Yuan Xi likes to be flattered by others, serving such a master is more lucrative and easy to mess with.There was another thunderous cheer.

When you come to the government office, the guests and hosts are seated separately, and the generals, generals, and civil officials gather together.First, a group of beauties came up to sing and dance.They were all found by Ren Kui, Honggu from Yihongyuan.Then, there is a big feast, eating and drinking.

During the banquet, Wen Chou said: "Prime Minister, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Chengdu, but here is the reason for drinking and meeting?" Wen Chou couldn't understand Ren Kui's virtue, and always looked at him with white eyes.Ren Kui didn't dare to provoke him, and he didn't know how much he flattered him all the way, but it just didn't work.Hearing this, she blushed, bowed her head and said nothing.

Just as he was talking, Gao Lan walked in from the outside with his sword, stood in the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, there is a battle report from General Zilong ahead. General Zhao has successfully captured Qianwei, and Li Yan and others will return. General Zhang He Ordered to stay behind, the rest of the generals have assembled towards Chengdu.

The four-way army has already reported victory in two ways.

Fei Yi said: "Right now, Liu Zhang will definitely not be able to turn around. It's just that the city of Chengdu is deep and deep, with sufficient food and grass, and thousands of armored generals. There are at least [-] to [-] available soldiers. It won't be able to take it for a while. It's best to send people into the city to persuade them to surrender." Fei Yi is now an admonishing doctor, and there is no vacancy for Shang Shuling's position, so he needs to adjust the leadership team when he returns.

"Master Fei, who do you think is more suitable to send to persuade you to surrender?" Guo Jia interrupted and asked.There are quite a lot of civil servants with me on this expedition, all of them are scribbling, searching for chapters and excerpting sentences, but none of them are useful.

Fei Yi thought to himself, I can't go, Liu Zhang hates me so much that he would have to skin me if he went.After thinking for a while, he said, "It's better to let Mr. Yan Pu go for a walk. Mr. Yan is a great talent, and he will definitely fulfill his mission."

Yan Pu came from Hanzhong with the army, and was waiting for an opportunity to make meritorious service. When Fei Yi recommended him, he immediately put down his wine glass and stood up, bowed to salute, and said in a vibrating voice: "Prime Minister, Pu is willing to go." I put down my chopsticks and said happily: "Since it was Mr. Yan who went, the event is over." Fei Yi didn't want to let Yan Pu take the credit for himself, so he hurriedly said, "Prime Minister, let me edit a book and send it to Liu Zhang."

Zhuo Ying, Zhang Yi and other generals, in order to show their loyalty and not to be outdone, all asked to go to the front to fight.I can do it if I think about it, these days there are at least 8 or [-] Shu troops, so it's not for nothing.
