"Boom!" Zhao Yun's blow made Zhang Weihu's mouth numb, and his face was horrified.

On Yang Ren and Yang Ang's side, the two of them surrounded Guan Yu, but they were defeated by Guan Yu in only a few dozen rounds and had to flee.

Without Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and Zhang Wei, the army of Zhang Lu was even more chaotic, and the soldiers fled in all directions, and the soldiers were defeated.

Of the 20,000 Zhang Lu army, thousands were beheaded and more than 10,000 were captured, and only a few hundred fled with Yang Ren, Yang Ang, and Zhang Wei. This is still the result of Liu Yu deliberately letting go, if he didn't want to finally recruit Zhang Lu, Yang Ren and others would also become generals under his command at that time, and Yang Ren and others would never have a chance to escape.

The three of them didn't know that Liu Yu intended to spare their lives, especially Yang Ren and Yang Ang, they knew that when they fought with Guan Yu, Guan Yu had the opportunity to kill them, but they let them go, and now that Liu Yu let them go again, they couldn't help but feel a trace of gratitude in their hearts, which was also the reason why the two of them were loyal to Liu Yu after surrendering to Liu Yu in the future.

It's Zhang Wei, although he knows it in his heart, but he doesn't want to admit it at all.

The three of them fled all the way back to Hanzhong County and reported to Zhang Lu.

When Zhang Lu heard the fiasco, the 20,000-strong army was lost and sat down.

"An army of 20,000 is gone after only three days? Could it be that Liu Yu is so strong, I can't fight against it, and Hanzhong won't be able to hold it! Zhang Lu couldn't believe it, and he was even more desperate in his heart.

Yang Ren and Yang Ang looked depressed, Liu Yu had spared their lives twice, what else could they say, and did they still have the courage to continue to lead the troops to resist Liu Yu.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Brother, why bother to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." We still have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, as well as nearly 10,000 prisoners of Liu Zhang's army, they can't fight, but there is no problem in defending the city, this is no less than 20,000 soldiers, and there are tens of thousands of people in Hanzhong County, you can organize them to participate in the defense of the city, and they will definitely be able to defend it. ”

Zhang Lu sighed and said, "Now I can only take one step at a time." ”

Two days later, Liu Yu's army came to the city of Hanzhong County.

Zhang Lu stood on the city wall, he looked at the tens of thousands of Liu Yu's army below with high morale and strict military appearance, he was extremely pressured and said: "Just look at this army, Liu Yu is really not Liu Zhang's comparison, I am not afraid of Liu Zhang's army, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat Liu Yuye." ”

Liu Yu rode out and faced Zhang Lu on the city wall.

Zhang Lu asked Liu Yu loudly: "The people of the world have no enmity or grudge against me, why did they attack me?" ”

Liu Yu replied: "Today's chaos, the princes are chasing the deer, I, Liu Yu, is the clan of the Han family, and I am determined to help the Han family, and the important land in Hanzhong, when the palm is in my hands, why does Lu Gong think Yu attacked you?" ”

In fact, in a word, to put it bluntly, it is to expand the territory and enhance the strength, but Liu Yu is more righteous and awe-inspiring.

Liu Yu continued: "Now that my army is in the city, Lu Gong has suffered a heavy defeat, losing 20,000 troops, and he is not my opponent. Thinking that Lu Gong has been in Hanzhong for several years, and there has been no extravagance and cruelty to the people, I want to recruit Lu Gong and work together for a great cause. I heard that Lu Gong has a sister, named 'Yulan', my second brother Guan Yu has not yet married a wife, but can hire Lu Gong's sister, since then my brother and Lu Gong have become in-laws, like a family. ”

Zhang Yulan's daughter, Liu Yu has already understood, her appearance is outstanding, and her temperament is quite supple, which is suitable for Guan Yu, he also asked Guan Yu's opinion in advance, Guan Yu did not object, and he should indeed get married, so there is Liu Yu's proposal at the moment.

Zhang Lu's heart moved, and said, "But the Guan Yu who killed Huaxiong? ”

"Yes, it's my second brother." Liu Yu replied: "However, just Huaxiong is not enough to show the courage of my second brother. My third brother Zhao Yun, fought Lu Bu for 500 rounds, my second brother's courage is not inferior to my third brother, and Yang Ren, the general under the command of Lu Gong, can only be known for more than 20 rounds in the hands of my second brother. ”

Zhang Lu was really moved now, and Liu Yu looked really sincere.

Zhang Lu's brother Zhang Wei saw Zhang Lu's heart-warming appearance, but he didn't want Zhang Lu to surrender to Liu Yu, because in that case, Hanzhong would no longer be their Zhang family, and they would suddenly become someone else's subordinate from one side of the princes, and the gap was huge.

Zhang Wei suddenly said urgently: "Brother, don't surrender, the city of Hanzhong is strong, and if Liu Yu can't break it, you don't have to kill him!" ”

Zhang Lu glanced at his younger brother Zhang Wei and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Wei was anxious, and he persuaded again: "Brother, have you forgotten your mother's hatred?" This Liu Yu and that Liu Zhang are both relatives of the Han family, if you surrender, we will lose Hanzhong, and we will no longer have the strength to seek revenge on Liu Zhang, and if Liu Zhang opens his mouth to ask Liu Yu for us to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, will Liu Yu betray us in order to befriend Liu Zhang? ”

"This ......" Hearing his younger brother Zhang Wei say this, Zhang Lu did hesitate a little again.

Under the city, Liu Yu saw that Zhang Lu had not replied for a long time, his brows couldn't help frowning, his voice became cold, and he shouted: "Lu Gong, do you think that I Liu Yu is not sincere?" In the previous battle, I had the opportunity to kill your three generals, but I ordered them to be spared, does Lu Gong know why? It's all on Lu Gong's face. If Lu Gong has any concerns, he can raise them now, and Yu Ding should not give up. And if Lu Gong really sees Yu as sincere as nothing, and still insists on not surrendering, Yu can only attack the city, and then break the city gate, and the lives will be ruined and blame Lu Gong's fault. ”

Zhang Lu was taken aback, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, I am willing to surrender, but there are a few promises that need to be guaranteed by the people in public." ”

"Brother, you can't come down." Zhang Wei said loudly to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu looked at Zhang Wei and sighed: "My brother, defend the city, it's easy to say, but my Hanzhong County is not a city that can be defended into a city in Hanzhong, we can defend Hanzhong County, but Liu Yu can also attack other counties other than Hanzhong County first, and finally there is only a lonely city in Hanzhong County, can we resist Liu Yu's attack, take a step back and say, Liu Yu doesn't need to attack the city at all, just besiege, how long can the grain and grass in Hanzhong County be eaten by the soldiers and civilians in the city, one year, two years? What's the point? I think Liu Yu is very sincere, if he can give us some guarantees, we will send him down, and we will not be ruined in the city. ”

Zhang Wei didn't want to hear it, he only said loudly again: "Brother, you can't descend." ”

Zhang Lu no longer paid attention to Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei flicked his sleeves in frustration and stopped talking.

Under the city, Liu Yu heard Zhang Lu's willingness to surrender, he smiled and said: "If Lu Gong has anything to say, you can say it, Yu Ding will do his best to guarantee Lu Gong." ”

Zhang Lu nodded and said, "I have a grudge against Liu Zhang of Nayizhou for killing my mother, and you need to promise that you can't hand me over to Liu Zhang no matter what." ”

Small matter, even if Zhang Lu doesn't say it, Liu Yu can't hand over the surrendered Zhang Lu to Liu Zhang, if that's the case, won't his reputation be ruined, and in the future, who will dare to surrender to him, he said: "This, I promise you, even if Duke Lu surrenders to me, there may not be no chance to take revenge in the future." ”

Zhang Lu's heart jumped, Liu Yu's words implied something else, could it be that Liu Yu also had an intention to Yizhou Shuzhong, if so, Liu Yu would definitely not be kind to Liu Zhang in the future, with Liu Yu's ability, or he could really avenge his mother's revenge, it was not necessarily, so Liu Yu descended, he became more and more willing.

Zhang Lu continued: "Second, I hope that the people of the world will treat the people of Hanzhong well......"

Zhang Lu put forward four demands one after another, and Liu Yu agreed to them all.

"Pass my order, open the gates of the city, and welcome the people of the world into the city." Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the city gate to be opened, welcome Liu Yu's army into the city, and officially surrender Liu Yu, and the land of Hanzhong will be all under Liu Yu's territory.
