382. Cao's army retreated
Facing Zhang Ren's inquiry, Tong Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I'm here for you." ”
Zhang Ren was confused, but he still hurriedly invited Tong Yuan to sit down. After Tong Yuan sat down, he looked Zhang Ren up and down and said, "Are you sure to recapture Chengdu City?" ”
"Do you already know what happened on Master's side?" Zhang Ren said with a strange face in the face of Tong Yuan's question. Tong Yuan laughed and said, "Yes, before I came to see you again, an old friend and I had already gone around in Shuzhong." What happened here is also very detailed. ”
Zhang Ren sat down dejectedly and said: "Now that the lord is caught by Han Fei, I don't dare to attack the city directly, it is more difficult to break the city like this than to ascend to the sky!" ”
Tong Yuan nodded and said, "Even if you still have some self-knowledge, this is also the reason why I came to see you today." Since you can't break the city, then don't hold on any longer, come down! ”
"What?!" Zhang Ren was stunned on the spot for a moment, he really didn't expect that his master would persuade him to surrender, you must know that when he was learning art, his master always talked about loyalty and righteousness, if this is lowered, won't he Zhang Ren become an unloyal and unrighteous person?
"This ...... Master, since I was a child, you have taught me to be loyal and righteous, and if I surrender like this, wouldn't it be disloyal and unjust? Please forgive the apprentice for being unfilial, I really can't do it! ”
Tong Yuan didn't get angry when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Zhang Ren, since you talked about loyalty, then let me ask you: Who are you loyal to?" ”
"Naturally, it's my lord!"
"Otherwise, your old lord Liu Zhang is not even the master of guarding the city, you must know that the lord chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the lord. Now that he has become a prisoner, it is not wise for you to be foolish and loyal to him. Besides, if today's chaos has been overcome, Liu Zhang's strength will be destroyed sooner or later, and now Liu Bei, the king of Qi, can still keep him alive, if he is replaced by other people, I am afraid that he will already be in a different place at this time. If you insist on not surrendering, continue to attack Chengdu City, and drag it out until the end, Liu Zhang is estimated to be unable to escape death, is this your loyalty? ”
After Tong Yuan's words were finished, Zhang Ren sat down and thought deeply. Tong Yuan saw that Zhang Ren had a shaken meaning, and then said: "What I said just now is just one of them, in one of your two junior disciples are now under the command of Liu Bei, the king of Qi, I am also selfish and can't bear to kill you in the same family, so I came to persuade you." ”
"Master, I ........." Zhang Ren opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, Tong Yuan saw the way you looked and knew that he was about to accept it, so he smiled and said, "Zhang Ren, what do you think of Han Fei?" ”
"Han Fei? I've been in contact with him, and he's extremely shrewd and very organized. ”
"How is that better than you?"
"Except for martial arts, I can't compare to him."
"Isn't this it, such a hero is still willing to live under the command of King Qi, what are you still hesitating about? Besides, do you think your soldiers are really willing to fight? ”
"Hey! Yes, Master, I listen to you, but I also have a request, after I surrender, I must not harm my lord. If he Han Fei can do it, then I will descend!" After Zhang Ren finished speaking, he collapsed on his seat like a deflated ball.
Tong Yuan nodded and said, "This is a trivial matter, if you can surrender, I believe Han Fei will not disagree." With that, Tong Yuan got up and left, Zhang Ren's mind was in a mess, but he also forgot to send it off.
It is said that Tong Yuan went out of the big tent to meet Wang Yue, and the two left the military camp and went to Chengdu. Wang Yue was going to see Han Fei, Tong Yuan thought about it for a while and decided to go along.
Han Fei didn't sleep at all at this time, he and Shi Ah were chatting with each other. They were all waiting for the results from Wang Yue and Tong Yuan's side. At this time, Han Fei became more and more curious about Wang Yue, and he had a feeling that Wang Yue must be someone he knew.
It turned out that he guessed correctly, and when Wang Yue appeared, Han Fei was stunned. Unexpectedly, the Sword God Wang Yue was actually his father-in-law. He Huo Ran got up and said, "Father, ...... you"
Wang Yue smiled and nodded: "The first meeting was purely accidental, two years ago I was forced to cheat to death, it was really good for you to serve me, I wanted to leave but couldn't, and in the end I had to cheat to death." ”
Han Fei woke up and said, "No wonder my father asked to stop for three days after sealing the coffin before burying it. It must have been when he left, right? ”
"What my son said is right, but my father has been paying attention to your every move for the past two years, and this time you came to Shuzhong, I asked a friend to come over." Wang Yue stroked his beard and smiled. This mystery was completely solved, and Han Fei was really surprised and delighted. At this time, Tong Yuan on the side opened his mouth to tell the news of Zhang Ren's surrender, and Han Fei was even more happy.
At the moment, he promised: "As long as I Han Fei has one day, I will be able to protect the lives of Liu Zhang's father and son." With Han Fei's assurance, Tong Yuan also put his heart in his stomach.
With Zhang Ren's surrender, no one in Yizhou dared to object. Han Fei immediately sent Zhang Ren with 20,000 troops to support Zhao Yun, Tong Yuan thought about it and decided to go along, he also wanted to go and see his little apprentice.
Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, the Dongwu naval army under the city of Yangzhou fought three battles with Liu Bei's naval army, with one loss, one win and one draw. After three battles, both sides suffered a lot of losses, Sun Quan was distressed when he got the news, he immediately ordered Zhou Yu to withdraw his troops, since he failed to take Yangzhou by surprise, it would not be a good result if he continued to consume.
Zhou Yu got the order, sighed and immediately ordered to retreat. Ding Feng was afraid of being ambushed, so he did not chase Zhou Yu, so they calmly retreated to the south of the Yangtze River.
As soon as the battle in Yangzhou here ended, Ma Chao and Ma Dai arrived with 10,000 iron cavalry. Seeing that he was a step too late, Ma Chao didn't mention the fire. At this time, the news of Yizhou's change of ownership came, and Liu Bei's order followed. Let Ma Chao take Ma Dai and 10,000 iron horsemen to aid Yizhou.
Ma Chao happily accepted the order and rushed to White Emperor City with Ma Dai and 10,000 iron horsemen by boat. When they arrived, Zhang Fei had already taken Yan Yan in, and the entire Yizhou was included in Liu Bei's command.
So they joined forces together and rushed to the city of Chengdu together. When Han Fei saw them coming, he was overjoyed. I'm worried that there is no one available in my hand, and now I finally don't have to worry about everyone anymore.
After Ma Chao arrived, he conveyed Liu Bei's order and asked Han Fei to send Liu Zhang's father and son to Changyi City, and Han Fei understood that Liu Bei was worried that something would happen to them in Yizhou. So he agreed without thinking about it, and then Ma Chao and Han Fei asked him to lead his troops to attack Cao Cao's army.
The Ma family and Cao Cao had an undying blood feud, and Han Fei knew how eager Ma Chao was to take revenge, so he thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll give you 20,000 horses, and you can go and attack Jiameng." ”
Ma Chao happily accepted the order, rested in Chengdu for two days, and hurriedly rushed to Baishui Pass with 20,000 horses.
"Cao Jun of Jia Meng Pass, wash your neck and wait! Your grandfather Ma is here! ”
