Chapter 83 Mystery
"Your Majesty!"
Dong Xi and Chen Wuxing rushed into the account. Guan Yu, who was reading, also put down the scroll and asked with a smile, "Have you two gained something?"
"Sure enough, as Junhou and Mr. Ziyu expected, Zhang Wei really sent someone to the robbery camp. We robbed and killed more than a thousand people, and more than 700 prisoners. The leading lieutenant was also stabbed by me." Chen Wu couldn't hide his excitement.
"Zi Lie has made a lot of contributions!" Guan Yu said with a smile, and then he was also a little disdainful and said, "This guard sent another village in the Xishan Pass. It was already a lack of troops, and he actually divided the troops to act. I really don't know."
"Zhang Wei has been smashed by the thrower of our army today. How dare he be beaten in the West City? Junhou Ming said that you can try to call the array, and Zhang Wei will definitely fight. Zhuge Jin thought for a time.
"The heavy soldiers sticking to the small city of the West City is a failure. Zhang Wei's child, there is no need to be afraid. Guan Yu also defined this opponent. At this time, in the West City, Zhang Wei looked at the remnants of the retreating army in front of him, and was also speechless for a long time. Finally, he had to sigh and ordered people to retreat first.
"General, what should we do at the present?" Although Zhang Wei's face was not very good, a staff member still asked carefully.
"What else can I do? I can only stick to it first!" Zhang Wei said angrily. He also knew in his heart that his eldest brother gave almost half of his troops to himself, and Nanzheng could definitely not transfer reinforcements. He fell asleep until the rumbling of drums woke Zhang Wei up the next day.
"General, the Jingzhou army is fighting under the city." A scout hurried to report.
"But Guan Yu?" Zhang Wei asked in a hurry.
"No, it's an old man!" This man is also a little unbelievable.
"Old man?" Zhang Wei was very surprised and said, "How old are you?"
"The beard is already white!" The man replied honestly.
"I'll go and have a look!" Zhang Wei dressed neatly, and then went to the city to check the details. However, the Jingzhou army under the city did not arrange the terrible rot today. Instead, they sent about a thousand people to call for the battle, one by one, and the queue was not very neat. One of them is a veteran, and most of his hair has turned white. The banner behind him is General Zhennan, Nanyang Huangzhong.
"Huang Zhong?" Zhang Wei was a little surprised. Is Liu Beijun really empty? Find half of the elders to be the general of Zhennan? A staff member beside him also expressed the doubts in Zhang Wei's heart.
"I don't care about the north of the town, forgive him for being a man in his sixties. What's the fear? Guan Yu sent this old man to the battle. It was clear that he bullied no one in the Han Dynasty. Who killed him with me to help the army? Zhang Wei snorted angrily for a long time and hurriedly ordered.
"General, young general Yu Zhai (netizen decadent otaku guest appearance) is willing to go!" A general held his fist out of the line.
"Good!" Zhang Wei nodded and agreed, and now ordered Yu Zhai to lead 500 people to fight with Huang Zhong.
"Is it Zhang Wei?" Huang Zhong seemed to fight alone, and he also asked quickly.
"Why do you need General Zhang to come out to deal with you? I, Yu Zhai, have already praised you!" After saying that, Yu Zhai rushed up immediately, hoping to stab Huang Zhong immediately.
"Grandma's!" Huang Zhong scolded secretly. With this move, he knew that Yu Zhai's martial arts were so bad that he could be beheaded without three moves. But when he thought of Zhuge Jin's words, he was still patient and only took out three success forces to deal with him.
"Junhou, tomorrow you can let General Huang go to the city to call for battle, and send another army to Yang Renzhai to prepare. Zhang Wei is bound to bully General Huang when he is old. Once he rushes out to fight under the enemy, he can be killed. In this way, the defenders of the West City will inevitably be defeated!" At the time of the discussion last night, Zhuge Jin proposed so.
"It's good!" Guan Yu also thinks that it may be better to do so. Use Huang Zhong, an old guy, to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. This move is already Liu Bei's default super shameless killing move. If the opponent is notware and bullies him in his old age, he will probably suffer a big loss. Zhuge Jin estimated that Zhang Wei's nest in the ravine should not know Huang Zhong's prestige, and it was most appropriate to send him to fool people.
"General Huang, if it is not for that Wei, the old general must not use his power and kill the enemy in one move. You have to fight for dozens of rounds and then repel the opponent. Zhuge Jin said again at this time.
"Why?" Guan Yu and Huang Zhong are both inexplicable this time. How can they fight without doing their best? They all think that Zhuge Jin is purely idle.
"Junhou, General Huang. Zhang Wei is known as the first brave general in Hanzhong. Although it may not be true, his martial arts must be far better than the rest of Hanzhong generals. If General Huang can fight with those people for dozens of rounds, even if he wins, Zhang Wei must think that he can beat the old general. In this way, the old general will lure him to war again, and then he can fight. Zhuge Jin explained in detail.
Guan Yu and Huang Zhong looked at each other in front of each other. After a long time, Guan Yu said, "Ziyu, I'm afraid Zhang Wei is not so stupid."
"Zhang Wei used soldiers these days, which can be said to be a faint move again and again. Does Junhou still think he is shrewd for this person?" Zhuge Jin asked with a smile. After a pause, Zhuge Jin said again, "What's more, this plan is not possible. At most, Zhang Wei can't be beheaded, but there is no harm to our army."
"That's true" Guan Yu and Huang Zhong also think it makes sense. So now, Chen Wu is calling the array in front of Yang Renzhai to drag the other side. Huang Zhong only took out three points of strength to accompany Yu Zhai to act. After fighting for twenty-seven or twenty-eight rounds, he found a flaw and killed Yu Zhai with a knife.
"Do you dare to fight with such martial arts?" Although he just killed a little one, Huang Zhong still deliberately shouted. The Jingzhou Army, which was already careless, was even more powerful and powerful.
"Damn it!" When Zhang Wei saw that Huang Zhong was so arrogant, he was immediately furious and shouted repeatedly, "Be ready for the horse, wait for me to kill this old man!" Zhang Wei was about to go down to the city angrily.
"The general is angry. The general is the pillar of the west city. If there is a good or bad, won't everything be over?" Finally, there was a slightly clearer-headed one who hurriedly advised.
"It doesn't matter. This old man's martial arts are ordinary. I've seen it. When I kill him, it will raise morale!" Zhang Wei didn't think so. Then, despite everyone's dissuasion, he hurried down to the city to fight against Huang Zhong.
"Who are you coming?" Huang Zhong saw that another one soon came and asked quickly.
"The old thief is dead!" Zhang Wei's surname was urgent, but he couldn't wait to report the number, so he directly patted the horse and killed Huang Zhong. Now Huang Zhong is a little depressed, and I don't know if he is Zhang Wei. If so, a hundred people have been cut off with one knife. If not, it's not good to scare Zhang Wei if he kills too fast. Fortunately, this person's martial arts skills are not very good, so let's talk to him first.
The two of them made more than 20 moves. Suddenly, several soldiers in the Jingzhou army shouted loudly, "General Huang, he is Zhang Wei!" However, some soldiers who knew Zhang Wei took the initiative to remind the old man that there was no need to continue acting.
"Huh?" Huang Zhong was immediately overtated when he heard this, but just in case, he first opened the knife cut by the other party and asked, "Are you Zhang Wei?" I was a little excited, and my voice was a little trembling.
"Exactly!" Zhang Wei was a little puzzled why the old man was suddenly so excited. As soon as he answered, he felt that something was wrong. It seemed that a major crisis was about to come.
Soon Zhang Wei understood what the source of the crisis was: the half-hundred old man in front of him. Huang Zhong's eyes suddenly glowed, just like a tiger that had just woken up to see its prey, and his eyes were shining.
"Hey!" Huang Zhongmao cut it with all his strength, and the speed was not a little bit faster than before. Zhang Wei couldn't dodge and hurriedly crossed the big knife block.
Two consecutive "cry!" The sound, Zhang Wei and the knife pole in his hand were cut into two sections by Huang Zhongmao's vigorous knife. The upper half flew out, but fell to the ground and was about to die for a while. He screamed a few times before he died.
The Hanzhong army did not expect that the two people who were originally evenly matched on the scene would suddenly have such a big contrast. After a while, a Hanzhong soldier watching the battle shouted like a pig, "General Zhang has been beheaded!" It seems that this scream awakened the somewhat muddle-headed Hanzhong army. The thousands of people who followed Zhang Wei to fight reacted and quickly threw away their armor and were about to run to the city.
"The whole army chases, and those who surrender will not be killed!" After watching the monkey play for a long time, Guan Yu finally seized the opportunity to perform and quickly got excited to complete the combat task. At present, the Jingzhou army rushed to the west city like a tiger coming down the mountain. The guards on the city saw that Zhang Wei was beheaded. Most people knew that Zhang Lu's brother was dead like this, and it would be difficult for them to go back. Basically, they all of them chose to surrender wisely. The remaining ones who dared to resist were also quickly eliminated by Guan Yu.
"What's going on?" Yang Ren in the Xishan Pass Camp was also a little puzzled when he heard the sudden movement outside. He seemed to expect something and quickly sent a scout to inquire about the news.
Although Chen Wu came to fight today, Yang Ren was determined to be a shrinking turtle, so he simply ignored it. Anyway, Chen Wu only asked for restraint, and his surname was so close to his camp. For this sake, this war can no longer be described as weird.
"General Yang, it's not good. General Zhang has been beheaded, and the West City has fallen!" Not long after, the scout ran back angrily to report to Yang Ren. Yang Ren was shocked when he heard the news. He sat down and didn't get up.
"General Yang, what should we do?" After a while, a captain asked weakly. Yang Ren knew what he meant, and his heart was even colder.
In those years, in order to gain Liu Zhang's trust in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu did not hesitate to leave his mother in Chengdu as a hostage. Later, he and Liu Zhang turned against each other, and my mother was also clicked by Liu Zhang. So much so that Zhang Wei, the younger brother, is the only one of Zhang Lu's relatives in the world. Yang Ren knew how much Zhang Lu favored his younger brother. Now he has been beheaded like this. As a general with him, he is afraid that he will not be able to make a job after going back. Although his death has nothing to do with him, political struggles are sometimes so ruthless, not to mention that Zhang Lu has never been an affectionate person. Although Zhang Wei has a good relationship with him, Yang Ren does not expect this friendship to play a role.
Thinking of this, Yang Ren's scalp is also a little numb. When the proposed person looked at Yang Ren's expression, he knew that he had begun to beat the drum in his heart. At the moment, Suo said boldly, "In this case, general, why don't you join the Jingzhou army?"
"Lao Liu, what do you mean by that? The Lord treats us as kindly as a mountain. In this situation, how can we leave him? Yang Ren's face changed slightly, and he retorted solemnly.
"General, now General Zhang has died in battle. I waited for this to surrender, which is worthy of the lord!" The man was not so resolute when he listened to Yang Ren's tone. He knew that his will was not so firm, and he quickly continued to "en enlighten" his boss. Seeing that there were no others around, the man lowered his voice and continued, "I think there are only tens of thousands of people in Hanzhong. Uncle Liu has been in the south, with nearly one million people under his command. He was actually self-destructed to be against Uncle Liu. The general's secret surrender is due to the country and the society. What's wrong with it?
When Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong, the early court sent people to surrender many times. Zhang Lu's attitude was very resolute, and he killed the messenger every time. It was not until Cao Qian discussed with him to invade Jingzhou that the history of killing messengers in Hanzhong ended. However, everyone knows that Zhang Lu has offended the court by doing this, but they don't have time to deal with you now. Once the boss frees up his hand, it's not a hand-held pinch to death.
Thinking of this, Yang Ren also did not want to continue to bury Zhang Lu. With a sigh, Yang Ren pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Although I want to abandon the secret, I don't know if General Guan is willing to accept it?"
"General, don't worry, Uncle Liu has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness. How can he not be surrendered?" As soon as the man heard that Yang Ren had changed Guan Yu's name, he suddenly realized that there was only such a little worry in Yang Ren's heart. Yang Ren nodded and sent this man to Guan Yu's army to discuss the surrender.
"Yang Ren wants to surrender?" Guan Yu was also quite surprised when he heard the words. There are still nearly 10,000 people in Yang Ren Dazhai. Why is he going to surrender now? After listening to this man's detailed explanation, he realized that he was afraid that Zhang Lu would blame him, so he surrendered.
"Go back and tell Yang Ren that I promised to let him leave the village early tomorrow morning and surrender!" Although Guan Yu disdained the savings of these surrenderers, it was also good to fight less, so he did not put his attitude too bad.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The man was overjoyed to see that there was a way to surrender. Now he hurried back to the camp to reply to Yang Ren. Next, Yang Ren led the 8,000 defenders of Dazhai to surrender. Zhang Lu sent his brother Zhang Wei and Yang Ren to lead 20,000 troops to guard the West City. As a result, they died in less than two days.
"See you, General Guan!" Yang Ren held the official seal in his hand and led people to surrender to Guan Yu. Guan Yu accepted them one by one. General Yang, how many passes are there on this road to Nanzheng? After Yang Ren surrendered, Guan Yu also asked.
"General Huiguan, there are also Chenggu, Baocheng, Liangzhou, and Xingshi everywhere on the way. However, the generals of these places are either my old department, or they are kind to me, or they can be taken down without blood. The general's army can be unimpeded and go straight to Nanzheng City!"
"It's so good!" Guan Yu didn't expect that this guy still had so much energy, which should be a surprise. Then Guan Yu remembered something and asked, "General Zhao Botao's partial division has already come out of the Jiameng Pass. Does General Yang know how Zhang Lu's defense is over there?"
"Over there, there are Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain Sky Insurance. No matter how many people General Zhao has, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through the barrier. Yang Ren thought for a time. Guan Yu nodded and said nothing more.
Zhang Wei died in the war, and the news of Yang Ren's surrender to the enemy was sent back to Hanzhong. Zhang Lu was stunned.
