Chapter 344 Liangzhou Soldiers and Horses
[I'm almost busy, and I've taken the medicine, but I just came back a little cold and can't stand it!! The update will resume tomorrow. The update should be at about 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, and there will be another chapter in the afternoon to make up for the day before yesterday!!]
The next morning, the whole Nanzheng City was already calm, but the blood scattered around the city could still see the fierce battle last night.
After a night of fierce battle, Yang Song and others were all taken down by Zhang Lu and collectively killed on the campus, and the family behind them was also killed with them. For these people, Liu Qi did not plead for mercy, but let Zhang Lu do what he did, so the whole Nanzheng was cleaned by Zhang Lu overnight.
Compared with Yang Song and others, those families whose messages were attached to Jingzhou and did not say that they wanted to take Zhang Lu's life were spared.
At this time, the Taishou Mansion has been used as Liu Qi's temporary residence. Around the Taishou Mansion, the brocade guards of the Flying Tiger Army defended the whole Taishou Mansion layer by layer, and no one could sneak in.
"The last general will see the Lord." On the hall, Zhang Lu was kneeling down in front of Liu Qi with more than a dozen young generals.
"General Zhang should think clearly. Now if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can leave. But if there is any strange intention in the future, I will never tolerate it. Liu Qi, who looked at the people above the hall, said in a low voice that it was better to let these people go than to force them to return to Jingzhou.
"Don't worry, my lord, we are all sincerely attached and have no reluctance."
Zhang Lu said loudly that killing Yang Song and others Zhang Lu was also worried. If he left Hanzhong, he could only rely on others. Instead of doing so, it was better to help Liu Qi calm down Hanzhong and earn some credit. These are all told to him by Yanpu in private. Yanpu is in the Jingzhou camp, and his every move is in Liu Qi's eyes. Liu Qi must know that Liu Qi can tolerate Yanpu and naturally tolerate him, and the former Wancheng Zhang Xiu is still holding heavy soldiers after defecting to Liu Qi?
"We sincerely return it and ask the Lord to take it in." After Zhang Lu finished speaking, the young generals behind him saluted one after another.
"Well, in this case, General Zhang temporarily took the position of general in Hanzhong and led ten thousand soldiers and horses. Wei Yan led 10,000 soldiers and horses for the lieutenant of Hanzhong. When Jiang Wan arrived, you two guarded Hanzhong with him. Liu Qi gave the order.
"Thank you, Lord." Everyone in the hall bowed and saluted.
Although there were still 3,000 soldiers and horses under Wei Yan's command in the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi had promised Wei Yan to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time. Wei Yan was naturally full of joy, so he also followed Zhang Lu and others to worship.
"Although General Zhang has entered Jingzhou now, the people of Hanzhong still do not know this news. From today, he will stop the expedition to the land of Hanzhong and announce that all the people in Hanzhong will know the news within one day, and appoint all the county lieutenants and lieutenants to come to Nanzheng within three days." Liu Qi stood up and said that since Zhang Lu returned to the remaining counties and Yangping Pass, there was no need to attack.
"No." Everyone bowed and saluted.
"Shou Guan Ganning, and immediately send scouts to Yizhou to inquire about the situation of our Jingzhou army." Liu Qi ordered again that he was a little worried about Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang's army in Yizhou. After all, in Yizhou, even Zhuge Liang is resourceful and resourceful, he is likely to suffer losses.

Yangping Pass
"Impossible!"
After receiving the order from Nan Zheng, Zhang Wei first felt that he had heard it wrong. How could Nan Zheng be captured by Jingzhou in such a short time? How could the eldest brother surrender to Jingzhou? A series of doubts surprised Zhang Wei very much. After the messenger repeatedly confirmed it, Zhang Wei was stunned.
"Yang Song really deserves to be killed." After listening to the messenger's explanation, Zhang Wei said with an angry face.
"General, don't worry, Yang Song and those who participated in the conspiracy to murder General Zhang's brother have all been killed by General Zhang's brother. Now General Zhang's brother has taken the whole Hanzhong to Jingzhou, and the general should go to Nanzheng as soon as possible." The messenger bowed.
"I will. If you go back and tell Lord Zhou Mu, you will definitely arrive in Nanzheng within three days." Zhang Wei nodded and said that although he was surprised by the surrender of Jingzhou, he had nothing to say now that his brother had taken this step. He did not have the confidence to resist the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou with the Yangping Pass. Although the terrain of Yangping Pass is dangerous and difficult to attack, it is easy for people outside Hanzhong to attack from inside Hanzhong.
"General, General Yang is back." Just as Zhang Wei was stunned, a young general ran in.
"That General Yang?" Zhang Wei said in surprise.
"It's General Yang Ang who went to Liangzhou to borrow soldiers. General Yang has borrowed 5,000 soldiers and horses from Liangzhou, and now he has arrived outside the gate." The young general was surprised.
"What?" Zhang Wei exclaimed and his heart sank: "Have you ever let them into the city?"
"No, the general has ordered that no one can enter or leave without your leader, so General Yang and others are still stationed outside the city."
"That's good, that's good." Zhang Wei was secretly relieved. Now that his brother has defected to Jingzhou, the borrowed 5,000 soldiers and horses have no effect. If they are allowed to enter Hanzhong, he doesn't know how Liu Qi will doubt his brother.
Zhang Wei didn't think about leading Liangzhou soldiers and horses to Nanzheng to rescue Zhang Lu. Even if he had never left Hanzhong, he knew the power of the new Jingzhou Pastoral. How could such a character not have the slightest guard against his brother? If he led troops into Hanzhong, he might be self-defeating and harmed his brother.
"Order all the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to be on guard, double the soldiers on the tower, and pay close attention to the situation of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou." After walking around the house, Zhang Wei gave the order.
"Ah?" The young general looked at Zhang Wei in surprise and led Liangzhou soldiers and horses into Hanzhong to resist Jingzhou. However, Lord Taishou's order, why was the general so nervous?
"Why don't you go quickly?" Zhang Wei scolded impatiently.
"General, this is the order of the Taishou Lord. If the Taishou is to blame..."
"It's a fart. The eldest brother has turned to Jingzhou. How can these Liangzhou soldiers and horses enter the customs?" Zhang Wei scolded.
"Ah? Did Lord Taishou turn to Jingzhou?"
"What are you shouting? Why don't you go soon?" Zhang Wei waved his hand, and he didn't intend to hide it. In less than two days, this matter will definitely spread all over Hanzhong. At that time, he doesn't have to say it himself, and they will know it clearly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Lord Taishou actually defected to Jingzhou. Doesn't that mean that he is now from Jingzhou? Isn't the person outside his enemy? He figured out the key. The young general broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly ran away to preach the order.
"Come on." Shortly after the young general left, Zhang Wei shouted out of the door.
"General."
"Immediately send the order. From today on, under the rule of Hanzhong, he received the order of Liu Qi, the shepherd of Jingzhou. Zhang Lu led 10,000 soldiers and horses of Hanzhong as the general of Hanzhong Zhonglang. We are all under the command of our brothers and let the soldiers on the customs guard against the sneak attack of Liangzhou." Zhang Weidao.
"No." The soldier was shocked, but after hearing that he was under the command of Zhang Lu, he was relieved again. Go ahead and send the order immediately.
Not long after, Zhang Wei's order was passed down, which immediately caused a discussion in Yangping Pass.
"How could Lord Taishou surrender to Jingzhou?"
"It's impossible. How can the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou defeat Lord Taishou?"
"Jingzhou is originally one of the major forces in the world, and it is also wise for Taishou to turn to Jingzhou.
...............................................
There are all kinds of speculations in Yangping Guanzhong, but under Zhang Wei's explanation, everyone gradually accepted that although some people were a little uncomfortable, there was no objection to Zhang Lu's decision.
After appeasing the people in Guanzhong, Zhang Wei began to have a headache for the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou outside the customs. These people were indeed invited by Hanzhong. If you tell them at this time that Hanzhong has subjuvened to Jingzhou and don't need them, this is equivalent to playing a military circus in Liangzhou. A bad one may even lead to a war between the two sides. .
"Come on, go and invite General Yang outside the customs." Zhang Wei thought for a moment and thought about the way outside the door.
"No."
At the same time, Zhang Wei ordered someone to send the news of the arrival of the Liangzhou army to Nanzheng Liu Qi immediately. At this time, as soon as Liu Qi took over Hanzhong, he must have a lot of eyeliners to monitor the movements of all parties. It would be bad if he concealed it and did not report it.
................................................................
"General Zhang, Liangzhou's soldiers and horses have been waiting outside for a whole hour. Why didn't they open the door? Ma Chao was already a little angry." Before Yang Ang entered the room, the voice had indeed come in.
"General Yang, don't be impatient. You are too anxious to invite the soldiers and horses from Liangzhou so soon. It's really difficult for me to do it." Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.
"What is this? You are the lord's younger brother. The lord is now in danger in Nanzheng. Instead of worrying, you say something like this?" Yang Ang was loyal to Zhang Lu. After receiving Zhang Lu's order, he rushed to Liangzhou non-stop. One day, he persuaded Liangzhou Ma Teng to lend troops to Hanzhong, and then rushed back day and night. However, instead of opening the gate, this guard did not open the city gate, but also said such sarcastic words, which really made him angry.
"Ha ha, General Yang is too worried. I don't have any disrespect for my eldest brother, but if I open the gate now, it will cause trouble for the lord." Zhang Wei shook his head.
"How to say this?" Yang Ang asked in surprise. In fact, he had found something strange all the way. He was just worried about the safety of Hanzhong and didn't ask. Now it seems that something he didn't know had really happened.
"General Yang should not know yet. Yesterday, the eldest brother had submissed to Liu Qi in Jingzhou, and now the whole Hanzhong is under the rule of Liu Qi." Zhang Wei said.
"What?" Even if Yang Ang was psychologically prepared, he was still shaken by the news.
"General Yang, don't worry. This is voluntary." After saying that, Zhang Wei told Yang Ang what happened in Nanzheng.
"I didn't expect to tell Mr. Yan that he was right. This Yang Song is really an ungrateful villain. The lord killed him well this time." Yang Ang said with a resentful face.
"Yes, Liu Qi in Jingzhou is also skillful. He not only removed a treacherous villain like Yang Song, but also got Hanzhong smoothly. It's just that now the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou have rushed to the city. If they are asked to return at this time, it is likely to make Liangzhou unhappy and cause trouble for the eldest brother. Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.
"This is not bad. Although Liangzhou Ma Chao is brave, his temper is extremely hot. If he knows at this time, he will definitely not rest."
