After Ling Bao finished speaking, Zhang Ren and Deng Xian both nodded again and again. The city is in danger on all sides, and Liu Cong is coming from the north, and it is most likely to cross the river to attack the city. The previous time Zhang Ren successfully ambushed Wei Yan in the northeast mountains and forests, Liu Cong would definitely abandon the mountains and forests in the east and instead march from the main road to the city, which is a direct passage to the Luojiang River. Zhang Ren's fingers lightly tapped on the table, thinking about the feasibility of the plan, and after a long time, Zhang Ren opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Lingbud, listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"This plan is offered by the general, and I order you to lead 3,000 soldiers to set off immediately, go to cut off the water of the Rujiang River, and wait for the general's order! If Liu Cong dares to camp on the side of the Luo River or force him to cross the Luo River, the general must be ready to flood it at any time! ”

"No, the last general commands" Ling Bao strode out of the house after hearing this, and dispatched troops. Ling Bao successfully lured Wei Yan across the bridge before, and then Deng Xian ambushed and killed, and the two combined Wei Yan and defeated Wei Yan. This proposal was adopted by Zhang Ren, and he was appointed to personally cut off the water of the Luo River, Ling Bao was very excited, and he thought in his heart that when he assisted Zhang Ren to repel Liu Cong, he could also get Liu Zhang's heavy responsibility, and even a county outside was possible.

When Ling Bao went out, Zhang Ren was thinking about how to accurately guide Liu Cong's army to the shallows of the Rujiang River? Ling Bao didn't do much before, and Deng Xian also cooperated very well. However, because of the first lesson, presumably Liu Cong and others should be more cautious. After some consideration, Zhang Ren decided to personally lead the troops to meet Liu Cong. Only by going to war in person can Liu Cong and the others relax their vigilance.

"Deng Xian listens to orders!" Zhang Ren finally looked up at Deng Xian.

"The last general!" Deng Xian was very excited when he heard Zhang Ren call his name, although Deng Xian also made great contributions on the first day, but he must have fallen behind a lot with Ling Bao. It is the successful induction of Wei Yan of the bract.

Today, Ling Bao sacrificed the water of the river in an attempt to flood Liu Cong's army, and if it succeeds, it will be a miracle. Previously, when he saw Zhang Ren adopting Ling Bao's plan, he wanted to take the initiative to ask for help, but Zhang Ren ordered Ling Bao's general, and he could only wait for the opportunity. I didn't expect Zhang Ren to point to himself so quickly, this time he went to lure Liu Cong's army, and Ling Bao cooperated. Afterwards, I also made a great achievement!

"Ben will personally lead the army tomorrow to lure Liu Cong to come to the Luojiang River, and after the general sets off, the defense of your city will be handed over to the general. No matter what happens to me and General Lingbao, please be sure to stick to the city with the defenders in the city! "There are not many people available in Luocheng, Zhang Ren knows that he has only half the chance of succeeding in luring Liu Cong, but if Liu Cong sends people into Luocheng to divert the tiger from the mountain while planning everything, then Luocheng will be in danger.

"The last general commands!" Although Deng Xian did not receive a heavy responsibility, it was also very important to be stationed in Luocheng, so he accepted it.

Seeing that Deng Xian seriously agreed, Zhang Ren was relieved, and he was afraid of impetuousness and impatience for the general. I think this is the reason why Wei Yan was fooled yesterday. Although there are other people in the city now, Guanghan is too embarrassed, and Zhang Ren can only trust Deng Xian. Therefore, in front of everyone, Deng Xian will defend the city, and he will also prevent others from dissatisfied.

Let's say that Liu Cong gathered the scattered vanguard troops while waiting for Fa Zheng and Zhang Song to arrive, so he slowed down the march. After a day of assembling and waiting, Wei Yan's scattered vanguard returned two or three thousand people, so that most of them returned to the camp except for the soldiers who were killed by the ambush led by Ling Bao, Deng Xian and others. Wei Yan's guilt was also much lighter.

On the second day, the army continued to march towards the city, and was on the march, when the scout in front reported: "My lord, Zhang Renqin in front is leading the army to come." ”

Liu Cong and the others raised their eyes on the horse and looked in the direction of Luocheng, the dust was flying in the distance, and a large banner with words and characters was sandwiched among the soldiers and horses and came towards their own large army.

"Lord, I'm going to meet the enemy!" The enemy was very red when he saw each other, this Wei Yan was ambushed by Zhang Ren the day before yesterday, and he was almost wiped out, this time he saw each other, and he was naturally eager to take revenge.

"Wen Chang, don't be impatient! The armies lined up to meet the enemy, and Wen Chang and Wen Ze held down the formation! ”

Although Wei Yan was defeated the day before yesterday, Liu Cong still had confidence in his soldiers. According to the intelligence, the total number of troops stationed in Luocheng was only 40,000, and no matter how greedy Zhang Ren was, he would not fall out of the nest. There are still 45,000 people on his side. As long as the position is set up and the position is stabilized, Jingzhou is one-on-one, and it is not a big problem to kill the Yizhou soldiers. Since the main general Zhang Ren led the troops to come, Liu Cong had to meet in person.

So he ordered Wei Yan and Yu Ban to go to the rear to suppress the position, also to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on both flanks and the rear. Liu Cong arranged it like this, and Yu Ban naturally quickly understood the intention of the lord. And although Wei Yan was full of complaints, he didn't dare to disobey the order, after all, he was defeated the day before yesterday, and Liu Cong hadn't punished him yet.

Zhang Ren, who was on the opposite side, saw Liu Cong's army in formation, and also ordered the whole army to stop and start arraying. The purpose of his trip was not to fight Liu Cong for a decisive battle, so when the armies of the two sides were completed, Zhang Ren stepped forward alone.

"Guanghan Governor Zhang Ren is here, but there are enemy generals who dare to come forward and talk?" When Zhang Ren set out from Chengdu, Liu Zhang gave him the post of governor of Guanghan and took charge of the military and political forces in order to resist Liu Cong with all his might.

Liu Cong saw a middle-aged man wearing armor and a heroic appearance coming to the front of the battle in the distance, wasn't that Zhang Ren who turned the Hongmen banquet into a two-man meeting at the Erliu meeting banquet? Liu Cong didn't think anything about it at first, after all, with Zhao Yun present, Zhang Ren's marksmanship could not beat Zhao Yun, so it was not eye-catching.

And now Zhang Ren can be described as majestic, one person and one ride, standing in front of the battle!

"I'll meet Zhang Ren!" Liu Cong turned his head and said to Pang Tong and Liao Hua beside him.

"My lord, no!" Pang Tong immediately persuaded: "This Zhang Ren is scheming, and the lord should guard against fraud!" ”

"My lord! Why don't you let Liao Hua go and meet him? ”

Liu Cong smiled at the two: "It's not in the way." Zhang Ren's posture is to appear by himself, and according to Liu Cong's understanding of Zhang Ren, although this person is brave and good at fighting, he is by no means a despicable villain, if he lets Liao Hua go, he is afraid that he will be ridiculed by Zhang Ren.

Liu Cong then stepped forward to the front of the formation, and Liao Hua followed Liu Cong for about ten steps under Pang Tong's signal, and was about to move forward, but was stopped by Liu Cong.

"I heard that General Zhang was a hero in Shu, Liu Cong was clumsy that day, and the general fought against Zilong, and Cong thought that the general was just a general. When I saw it today, the general was really a general in Shuzhong, who managed the army well and was strategic. Cong admires! "Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. Although Liu Cong's words were all true, he also took a solid shot of Zhang Ren's fart.

"Ren is also a long-heard general name. It's just that the general and my lord are both relatives of the Han family, and my lord invited the general to come to Shuzhong to fight the enemy together, but the general wants to fight back? Zhang Ren is still so unreasonable, Liu Cong came up to pick out the good ones, but Zhang Ren directly questioned Liu Cong.

In fact, it is not that Zhang Ren is pedantic, this is what he has thought about a long time ago, the purpose is to provoke Liu Cong's whole army, and then lead Liu Cong's army to the low-lying places of the Luojiang River step by step.

So Zhang Ren was communicating with Liu Cong on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, I don't know where Ling Bud is ready. This Liu Cong's army of 40,000 people, once the war starts, he will not be able to resist much time with more than 10,000 people.

Seeing Zhang Ren come up to question him, Liu Cong was slightly embarrassed, and then coughed lightly a few times and smiled: "The general is really a hero in Shu, and he talks extraordinary!" It's just that the general didn't know anything, and I heard that there were difficulties in Shu, so I, Liu Cong, rushed to Jia Meng to support in the starry night. One stay is a year. Now that Jingzhou is in trouble, I turned to Liu Jiyu for help, but he pushed back and obstructed, completely ignoring the past feelings, and even made Yang Huai and Gao Pei want to sneak attack me from behind.

From then on, he led his troops to attack the city and asked Liu Jiyu in Chengdu for an explanation. If the general is a person who understands, he will get out of the way and wait for me to meet Liu Jiyu. ”

"The general can't be a three-year-old child. The general's wolf ambition, long before the general entered Shu, Ren had already noticed it, but he only persuaded the lord hard, but the lord did not notice it to have today. Has the general ever moved a soldier to Zhang Lu and Cao Cao in a year since he arrived in Jiameng? And all the food and drink this year are supplied by my Yizhou. Now the general wants to occupy my Yizhou, but he wants me Zhang Ren to give way automatically? ”

Liu Cong saw that this method did not work! Originally, these statements were only for those who did not believe in it. Who is Zhang Ren, the general of Shuzhong, Liu Zhang's reliance, it would be strange if he believed these words he made up so easily. As a last resort, Liu Cong had no choice but to change his words.

"General Zhang, Zilong and you are the same brothers. Liu Cong admires your martial arts, and the day before yesterday, you defeated Wei Yan, the vanguard of my front, which shows that the general is resourceful. However, Liu Zhang is a weak and incompetent person, such as today's chaos. The land of Yizhou is densely populated and rich in products, so those who are virtuous should rely on it. Why didn't the general abandon the darkness and turn to the light, help me subdue Yizhou, and help the Han family as soon as possible? ”

Liu Cong estimated that he would do it again, wanting to brag about the other party's skills first, and then wait for the opportunity to show his ambitions, just like he did when he recruited Zhao Yun and Yu Ban. Then tell the other party, you have not met the master, come to my side......

That time, Zhang Ren didn't wait for Liu Cong to finish speaking, and sneered again and again: "I, General Zhengnan, am a smart person, and I don't want to make such remarks." Hasn't the general heard that loyal ministers have not been the two masters since ancient times? Ren is the general of my family's father-in-law Liu Jiyu, born as a lieutenant general in Shu, and died as a ghost in Shu, let me rebel before the battle, don't think! ”

"General Zhang is right! But has General Zhang ever heard that good birds choose trees to perch on, and loyal ministers choose their masters? Thinking about Guo Fengxiao and Xun Wenruo, the general must have heard of it. The two of them were Yuan Shao's subordinates, and they knew that Yuan Shao couldn't make a big deal, so they left resolutely and turned to help Cao Cao, what was the result? The world will only admire the world-class exploits of the two, where will anyone care who they have followed? Miss me Liu Cong since I moved into Jingzhou......"

Liu Cong was about to explain to Zhang Ren how wise he was, just like Cao Cao at the beginning, and Liu Zhang was far inferior to Yuan Shao.

"Liu Cong'er, Hugh has to talk more rhetorically, and if you want to fight, you will fight!" Zhang Ren didn't seem to listen, but with an angry face, he stepped forward to fight Liu Cong.
