Chapter 574 Zhang Lu Surrender

However, the news that Liu Zhang sent troops to Hanzhong soon spread to Zhang Lu's ears in Hanzhong. Zhang Lu was very angry and quickly came to his brother Zhang Wei to discuss, "Now that Liu Zhang is coming to annex Hanzhong, what should I do?"

"Brother, don't worry. I don't want Liu Zhang to die. I am willing to lead troops to Yangping Pass to stop Liu Zhang." Seeing Zhang Lu's worried look, Zhang Wei beside him stepped forward and said to Zhang Lu.

"Okay, I will immediately order the rectification of the soldiers and horses. You and my brothers will be safe in the Han Dynasty." Seeing that Zhang Wei took the initiative to ask, Zhang Lu nodded and said.

"Lord, Liu Zhang is very ambitious and wants to annex my land in Hanzhong. Although our army is not afraid of Liu Zhang, hasn't he thought about his future?" At this time, a scribe next to him suddenly stood up and said to Zhang Lu. Zhang Lu turned around and saw that this person was not someone else but his own counselor Yanpu.

"Yanpu, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Wei was obviously a little unhappy with Yanpu's sudden opening, so he asked directly.

"The lord and Liu Zhang are fighting. I don't know if the lord is sure to win?" Yanpu didn't say anything directly, but wanted Zhang Lu to ask.

"Where is the certainty of winning the war? However, Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses came from afar, and our army occupied the dangerous place. It was delusional for Liu Zhang's army to attack Hanzhong through Yangping Pass. Before Zhang Lu could speak, Zhang Wei, who was beside him, said first.

"Since there is no certainty of victory, why does the lord have to fight this battle at the risk of losing both sides with Liu Zhang? Imagine the war between our army and Liu Zhang. Even if our army wins after the war, our army will definitely lose a lot. If Lv Bu sends troops to attack, how will the lord deal with it? If our army is defeated, won't the lord be immediately removed from the princes? Why does the lord have to try such a harmful and unprofitable thing? Hearing Zhang Wei's words, Yanpu continued to ask.

"Yanpu, how dare you curse the lord?" Hearing Yanpu's words, Zhang Wei, who was beside him, immediately shouted angrily.

"Zhang Wei, don't be impulsive. Listen to Yanpu's words." Zhang Lu heard something in Yanpu's words, so he opened his mouth to stop Zhang Wei.

"The lord is now the king of Hanzhong. It is impossible to continue to rise. Why not save his strength? As long as the lord has the military power in hand, the lord is a well-known king of Hanzhong. Why should he consume here with Liu Zhang? It's better to surrender to the regent. Now the regent is at the height of the sky, and he will unify it every day. In the world, when the lord will have the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong in hand, and at the same time, he will have the merit of supporting the regent. In the future court, will there be no place for the lord? It turned out that Yan Pu had already planned to surrender to Lv Bu, so at this time, he suggested to Zhang Lu.

"Yanpu, is it because you want to sell the owner for glory? I'll take you down and see what else you have to say." When Zhang Wei, who was beside him, saw what Yan Hu said, he immediately became angry and stood up and shouted to deal with Yan Hu.

"What is the general doing? I'm not a person who sells the owner for glory, but just for the sake of the lord. Can't the general see that Lv Bu has the ambition to unify the world and the strength to unify the world? Now the lord has Hanzhong in his hand. Even if he surrenders to Lv Bu, he can protect his wealth and glory. If the king of Hanzhong is attacked by Lv Bu, I'm afraid even his life will be difficult to protect. Seeing that Zhang Wei was about to do it, Yanpu quickly retreated and said.

"Zhang Wei's assistant." At this time, Zhang Lu's face was uncertain. Obviously, he was also considering Yanpu's words. However, Zhang Lu finally made up his mind and then said, "Although Zhang Lu is not the talent to rule the world, I have a deep hatred between Liu Zhang and me. I will never spare him lightly. My own hatred is still solved by myself. If I don't It's not too late for Zhang Lu to surrender to Lv Bu.

"The Lord, there is Zhang Liao's messenger asking for a meeting." At this moment, a soldier suddenly broke in and reported to Zhang Lu.

"What Zhang Liao's messenger? What did Zhang Liao send an envoy at this time? Do you want to take advantage of the war between our army and Liu Zhang and take advantage of the fire? Hearing Zhang Liao's messenger asking for help, Zhang Wei, who was beside him, was first shocked and couldn't help slandering him.

"Ask him in. I'd like to see what Zhang Liao sent someone to say at this time." Zhang Lu turned around and sat back in his seat, which was different from what he had just thought. At this time, Zhang Lu was determined to fight with Liu Zhang, but he was not hesitating.

"Wang Fang, it was General Zhang Liao who sat down and came to visit the King of Hanzhong on behalf of General Zhang Liao." After seeing Zhang Lu and saluteing, he said respectfully.

"Your General Zhang Liao has always had no communication with me. I don't know why I sent you here this time?" Seeing that the person who came was still polite to her, Zhang Lu said lurely.

"Ha ha, my general admires the king of Hanzhong very much, so he specially sent him to visit the king of Hanzhong. However, on the way here, I heard that Liu Zhang, the king of Chengdu, seemed to be coming, and asked the king of Hanzhong to make a plan in advance. Of course, with my general as a person, if the king of Hanzhong needs anything, I think my general will not hesitate to help the king of Hanzhong. Seeing that Zhang Lu's attitude was a little cold, Wang Fang didn't care, but just said it by herself.

"Hey hey, I'm afraid it's the weasel giving New Year's greetings to the chicken. It's not good." Hearing Wang Fang's words, Zhang Wei, who was beside him, said with a sneer.

"Ha ha, to tell you the truth, when I came here, I heard that the secret envoy of the king of Chengdu had arrived in Wancheng and was meeting my general. Although I didn't know the content, now that I think about it, the content is very clear." Wang Fang didn't care about Zhang Wei's sneer, but said something that surprised Zhang Lu.

"What, you said that Liu Zhang's secret envoy had found Zhang Liao? Is there any other inside story about Liu Zhang's attack on Hanzhong this time? Immediately, Zhang Lu reacted and guessed what Wang Fang had just said.

"Ha ha, I heard that Liu Zhang, the king of Chengdu, and the king of Hanzhong, have a deep hatred. Among the kings, the king of Chengdu is afraid that the king of Hanzhong is the most intolerant. If you want this secret envoy to go to Wancheng, you must invite my general to attack Hanzhong together." At this time, Wang Fang just smiled and said.

"So, has your general agreed?" Zhang Wei, who was beside him, asked nervously. If only Liu Zhang's soldiers and horses come to invade, then relying on the danger of Yangping Pass, Zhang Wei thinks that he can still resist it. If Zhang Liao kills from behind, it is Hanzhong soldiers and horses that can't be stopped anyway.

"General Zhang Wei's words are not right. If General Zhang Liao has agreed to Liu Zhang's request, then there is no need to send Lord Wang Fang to come." At this time, Yanpu finally found the opportunity to speak and said.

"What this adult said is that although Liu Zhang is a relative of the Han Dynasty, he has nothing to do with my general. My general is only concerned about his loyalty to the regent. If the king of Hanzhong is willing to surrender to the regent, we are naturally not outsiders. The matter of the king of Hanzhong is naturally my general. It's about the army." At this time, Wang Fang finally showed her card and said.

"Ha ha, let's talk about it. Your general still has a fancy to my land in Hanzhong and wants me to surrender." Zhang Lu smiled and finally understood that Wang Fang's purpose was to take Hanzhong and surrender himself without spending a single soldier.

"Don't think so, the king of Hanzhong. As long as the king of Hanzhong is willing to surrender, my general is willing to work with the king of Hanzhong to avenge the king of Hanzhong." Seeing that Zhang Lu was still a little hesitant, Wang Fang continued to say.

"I'm afraid that your general will go back on his word and don't want to avenge me." Zhang Lu also knew that it was absolutely impossible for his strength to fight in two ways. At the same time, he resisted Liu Zhang and Zhang Liao. What's more, surrender to Lv Bu did not seem to be as bad as he thought, so he opened his mouth and said.

"Ha ha, since that's what I said, I'll tell you the truth. Liu Zhang, the king of Chengdu, led troops to attack Hanzhong without authorization. This is wrong with the king of Chengdu. When my general arrives in Hanzhong, he will naturally resist the king of Chengdu for the king of Hanzhong. However, the king of Chengdu is also the vassal crowned by the regent. My general does not have the right to deal with it. However, I believe that the king of Hanzhong must have a way. It must be that the soldiers and horses in the hands of the king of Hanzhong are not given for nothing. At this time, Wang Fang said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, let's discuss it again, and then reply." Seeing that it was difficult for Zhang Lu to make a decision for a while, Yan Ju stood up and said.

"Okay, so I'm waiting for the good sound." Shuo Wang Fang turned around and walked away, leaving the three of them to meet each other.

"You just said something about what I should do for today's plan." Half a sound, Zhang Lu opened his mouth and asked the two.

"Lord, for today's plan, if we refuse Zhang Liao, our army will face the attack on both sides of Zhang Liao and Liu Zhang. It is really unfavorable to our army. Why doesn't the lord pretend to surrender to Lv Bu and wait for Zhang Liao to make plans." Seeing Zhang Lu's obvious hesitation, Yanpu came up with a compromise.

"Isn't this the way to lead the wolf into the house? Once Zhang Liao enters Hanzhong, where is our way to live?" Zhang Wei, who was beside him, said angrily.

"If this is not the case, I'm afraid we will only have a dead end." At this time, Yanpu also said calmly.

"Well, it seems that I have to agree to Zhang Liao's condition first. I hope Zhang Liao will not be against me and let me avenge my mother and brother." Half-sounding Zhang Lu finally made up her mind to say.

"Hahaha, my husband is really talented. He made Zhang Lu submit with such a small plan. It's really my blessing for Mr. Zhang Liao to get the help of Mr. Wancheng." Seeing the surrender document brought back by Wang Fang, Zhang Liao laughed and found Pang Tong and said.

"Ha ha, it's just a little trick. The general praised it, but Zhang Lu is now helpless and surrendered to our army. The general wants to control Hanzhong next, but he has to be careful step by step." Pang Tong quickly humbled and reminded Zhang Liaodao at the same time.

"What you said is that I am also worried about this matter. My troops in Wancheng are limited. This time, I can't lead too many soldiers and horses to Hanzhong. It is indeed a little difficult to control the whole Hanzhong. Although I have asked the regent, the regent went to Xiliang. I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses sent can't be reached for a while, and And Wancheng's defense can't be relaxed. Speaking of this, Zhang Liao was also wrinkled, and obviously worried about what was about to happen.
