At this time, Zhang Ren felt that he had a splitting headache, but he had indeed woken up and remembered that Liu Bi had knocked himself unconscious after the worst, and then he didn't know anything.

"Liu Xuan, you are ......"

Liu Bi also saw that his general was awake, and he hurriedly said: "The subordinates also ask the marshal to punish him, but if he does it again, his subordinates will still act like this, and he will not regret it!" ”

Zhang Ren pointed at him with his hand, but he didn't say a word for a long time, "Alas, let's go, let's go!" In this situation, although I do not disagree with what you did, it was also your own choice, and this matter is not yours. If you want to say that the loss of Ruoxian County this time is still me, it is me! ”

Zhang Ren is not a person who doesn't understand things, because his subordinates are desperately trying to bring himself out, if he doesn't say thank him, can he still punish others? It's obviously impossible, if you want to talk about the defeat of Ruoxian, or your own problem, in fact, it's no wonder that others, even if Liu Bi doesn't take him away, then it is estimated that his consequences will not be much better, and he will fail but he will still fail.

So in this way, Zhang Ren and Liu Bi returned to Chengdu with the remnants of the soldiers gathered all the way. This remnant soldier is not a few, Zhang Ren and Liu Bi have collected more than 4,000 Yizhou soldiers, before he had a total of less than 30,000 men and horses, but now he has collected more than 4,000 people, which is indeed not too little.

After returning to Chengdu, Zhang Ren hurriedly went with Liu Bi to ask his lord for guilt. Liu Zhang looked at this situation, and said in his heart that now even you Zhang Ren have been defeated, can Yizhou still be saved?

To say that he did have some confidence before, and the source of these confidence was Zhang Ren, but now that even he, the number one general in Shu, has been defeated by Ma Mengqi, can Yizhou not fall into the clutches of his Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi. Although about 100,000 guards have now been transferred from all over the country to Chengdu, plus their own men and horses before, there are still more than 100,000 guards in Chengdu. But Liu Zhang still has no bottom at this time.

Liu Zhang has no choice, he has to persuade him, after all, for him, Zhang Ren's safe return is indeed better than anything else. He still has a bit of luck now, if Zhang Ren can lead his troops to intercept Ma Chao again, will he be able to win? After all, I've had an experience before, so why don't I have to lose again?

"The defeat of Yuxian is not in the general, who would have thought that he, Ma Mengqi, would be able to personally lead the troops to attack the city. If you want to come, no one in the world will think about it. So we are not unjustly defeated, but the general still has the confidence to fight again? ”

Zhang Ren listened to what his lord said, and his eyes lit up, "Lord, is there still a chance for this ......?"

Zhang Ren that means. Do you still have a chance to lead your troops into battle again? In fact, he didn't think about it, did he have any available people under Liu Zhang's command now. Without. So who else can Zhang Ren use without him? Besides, there is really no more powerful general in Yizhou than Zhang Ren, Zhang Ren's strength is definitely the highest, which is recognized.

Liu Zhang nodded, "Ma Mengqi's side is still far away from Chengdu for the time being, and the Malay report shows that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong have already led troops through Luoshui." At this time, he is heading towards Chengdu to kill, I wonder if the general can lead his troops to meet Zhao Zilong for a while? ”

In fact, what is the report of the exploration of the Malay, that is, Fei Guan came back from Luoshui with his troops, and he told his lord about it. As a result, Liu Zhang listened. He immediately couldn't sit still. The heart said that Ma Mengqi hadn't come yet, but this Zhao Zilong came first. According to the distance and time, Zhao Zilong's army definitely arrived in Chengdu before Ma Mengqi, so Liu Zhang was busy sending Zhang Ren to intercept Zhao Yun at this time.

Zhang Ren was a little disappointed when he heard this, because his lord did not let him stop Ma Mengqi's army. It's not bad to deal with Zhao Zilong's people in the past, Zhang Ren is not a general who does not obey the lord's orders, especially in this situation. His head was full of how his lord trusted him, but nothing else.

"No! Ren must live up to the expectations of the lord, and he will definitely intercept Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong outside Shu County! ”

Liu Zhang listened to what Zhang Ren said, and nodded to him with a smile, "The general should be more careful when he goes, the safety of Chengdu will be all in the general!" ”

Zhang Ren nodded hurriedly, "Please rest assured that the lord is everything!" ”

As a result, Zhang Ren had just returned to Chengdu, and it was less than half a day, so he and Liu Bi were about to lead the troops again. And Liu Zhang was not stingy, and directly allocated more than 20,000 men and horses to Zhang Ren, plus the more than 4,000 remnants he had collected before, a total of 25,000 people, and he took these soldiers to prepare to run directly to the direction of the upper reaches of Luoshui. He knew that the general direction of Zhao Yun's march was definitely there.

And this time, Liu Zhang personally sent Zhang Ren and them away, so that Zhang Ren was tired for so many days, and then returned to Chengdu and left again with the troops in less than half a day, to be honest, Liu Zhang felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he was also very moved. Liu Zhang really doesn't have much ability, but Zhang Ren's loyalty to him is indeed still in his eyes, and he has to be moved by this. But he couldn't give Zhang Ren anything, and sometimes he thought that Zhang Ren was such a person, but under his own account, he was a little condescending.

Of course, these are Liu Zhang's inner thoughts, but Zhang Ren has never thought about it like this. And when he saw that his lord personally sent him out of the city, it would be false to say that he was not moved. In his eyes, although his lord's ability is limited, it is not that he really can't support such a personal master, but it's a pity, now Yizhou is suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is really difficult for his lord to deal with it well. And if his lord doesn't change, he will be taken advantage of sooner or later.

However, Zhang Ren also knew that now was not the time to think about this. can really defeat Ma Chaoliangzhou's army and repel it, this is the only way to do it, or it is useless to say anything else.

Later, under Liu Zhang's gaze, Zhang Ren and Liu Bi left Chengdu with 25,000 soldiers and embarked on the road to intercept Zhao Yun.

Seeing that Zhang Ren's backs were gradually disappearing, Liu Zhang returned to the city. In his mind, he shouldn't have been this state pastor, now he is too tired, he knew that he shouldn't have listened to others at that time, what is Yizhou pastor, and now it is useless to regret it. I don't know what Ma Mengqi can do to himself if he is defeated. In short, I will definitely not be able to be this state pastor anymore, so I can be regarded as fulfilling a wish.

To say that Liu Zhang is indeed not suitable to be the lord, especially Yizhou Mu. I don't know how many people in Lu Dao want to be a state pastor, but they may not have a chance at all, but Liu Zhang is a good person, he really doesn't want to be a state pastor. I don't know what he thinks, if he lets others know about it, I don't know what others will think. Liu Zhang: This is a typical "full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry"-

Ma Chao led troops from Xindu to Chengdu, and no one stopped him all the way, Ma Chao didn't know if Liu Zhang wanted to open it, or if he had other ideas.

As a result, when he was not too far from Chengdu, there should be more than a hundred miles, and suddenly there was a report from the Malay in front, "Report to the lord, I caught one in front, sneaky, I suspect that it is the enemy's work!" ”

Ma Chao had no choice but to let the army stop first, and then smiled, "Bring me to see!" ”

"No!"

As a result, a young man was brought in by a number of scouts, and it seemed that this man was not convinced.

Ma Chao smiled when he saw him, "You are the enemy's meticulous work?" ”

Of course, Ma Chao won't believe that the other party is the enemy's meticulous work, not to mention anything else, just look at this person looks very familiar, Ma Chao knows that he is still an acquaintance? Or maybe it's related to someone you know.

However, as soon as people heard what Ma Chao said, he was a big smile, "The world says that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are heroes in the world, but when I see it today, it's just like that!" ”

Ma Chao became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Your Excellency say that?" ”

The visitor replied, "Doesn't the governor see that it is not the enemy's work that is below?" And does the state pastor really think that he can be caught with just a few of you scouts? ”

Ma Chao laughed when he heard this, "Indeed, what Your Excellency said is indeed reasonable. Presumably, you have something important to come to me, I wonder if what I am saying is right? ”

When the visitor heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Not bad! It seems that you do have some skills, what you said is good, you do have something to discuss with the state pastor? ”

"Oh? So, Your Excellency, may I speak? ”

The person who came smiled again, "Could it be that the pastor of Fei Zhou just let me say this?" Could this be the hospitality of the Liangzhou Army? ”

Ma Chaoda smiled, "Yes, I was negligent on my part, please don't be surprised!" Go down, please! ”

"Thank you!"

After Tanma went down, Ma Chao asked people to move the seats, and the people who came sat down. He is indeed right, since he is not an enemy, he is here to discuss important matters, so Ma Chao can't just talk to the other party, although the other party is about twenty years old, but Ma Chao did not underestimate the other party because of this, sometimes this age does not mean anything.

And Guo Jia on the side is also a little interested in the people who come, after all, knowing his identity as the lord and still being able to speak like this, it can only explain two situations, the first is that the ignorant are fearless, because he clearly knows that his lord is a Liangzhou pastor, who has a heavy army and has killed countless people, but he still dares to do this, so if it is not the second case, then it can only be the ignorant fearless.

As for the second, of course, he is not afraid at all. He was not afraid of what his lord would do to him, because he knew that his lord would never do anything to him. He has the ability or status or just has some support, so he knows that his lord will never treat him like this.

And after a series of analyses by Guo Jia, this person is definitely the second type. And it seems that this person should have some support, and this support is exactly what he wants to negotiate with himself, so this person can look fearless. All this shows that this person has something to rely on, or it will definitely not be. (To be continued......)
