Chapter 371: Zhao Zilong is out
In this world, the second minister will always find sufficient excuses for his surrender, such as good birds choose trees to perch, and then know the current affairs of the person as a handsome man, etc., since these allusions have endured, this also shows that being a second minister is not necessarily wrong.
Meng Da doesn't want to be a second minister, or in other words, no one in this world wants to be a second minister if he has a little dignity and a little faith.
However, the situation forced Meng Da to lead the crowd to surrender.
Well, if the lord is wise, if the lord has a little favor to him Meng Dadanfan, he may still fight to the death.
However, there is no such thing as ifs, and Liu Zhang, the lord of Shu, is not only a little weak, but also has always been nepotistic, Meng Da thinks that he still has some ability, but he has always been marginalized in Shu. Therefore, if he wants him Meng Da to be the loyal minister of the Lord of Shu, Meng Da said: The concubine can't do it!
Of course, the more important point is that when the Hanzhong army entered Jiameng Pass, Meng Da realized that the general trend of Shuzhong had gone.
The Hanzhong army will seize the Jiameng Pass again, and the 200,000 Shu troops who have entered Hanzhong will have no way back, and the grain route will be cut off, so that the 200,000 Shu army will become a turtle in the urn, and sooner or later it will be swallowed by the Hanzhong army!
And the Hanzhong army, which swallowed up the 200,000 Shu army, will inevitably turn its troops and take advantage of the situation to sweep the entire Sichuan and Shu.
Relatively speaking, after Shuzhong loses these 200,000 elites, it will inevitably be unable to stop the counterattack of the Hanzhong army.
Once on the way to escape, I got along with my fellow countryman Fazheng for a lot of time, and I still have this bit of insight to face. Knowing that the Lord of Shu would be defeated, and the Lord of Shu didn't have to deal with him Meng Da, how could Meng Da rush to be Liu Zhang's important minister?
Therefore, when Wei Yan entered the Jiameng Pass, Meng Da surrendered without any psychological burden!
……
On the first day of the eighth month of the fifth year of Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, after many obstacles, Zhang Ren finally led the vanguard of the Shu army to the city of Hanzhong.
It's just that the 50,000 pioneers who set out from Jiameng Pass at the beginning are now only 30,000 when they arrive at the city of Hanzhong. In fact, not many of the defective soldiers were killed in the harassment along the way, but the wounded were more than three times.
Fortunately, the troops finally came to Hanzhong City, and General Wu Yi also led the army to follow up.
Zhang Ren believed that in three or five days, General Wu Yi's Chinese army and rear army would also be under the city of Hanzhong.
However, after arriving at the city of Hanzhong, Zhang Ren wanted to retreat.
Whether it was the news sent by the detailed work or the news from the sentinels, they all told him that Hanzhong City was not an empty city, and the number of troops in the city was not eight thousand.
There are more than 30,000 defenders in the middle of the city!
Moreover, looking at the general flag on the city wall, Guan Yu's general flag is fluttering, Zhao Zilong's general flag is fluttering, Liao Hua's general flag is fluttering, and there is a "Huo" character general flag fluttering, this is the general flag of the four generals who command the army.
The flag may also be faked, so that all the grass and trees are soldiers.
However, the news that Xi Zuo inquired in Hanzhong City was that these four generals were indeed in Hanzhong City now. Moreover, there are not only four generals and more than 30,000 defenders in Hanzhong City, but even Liu Bei's left and right military divisions are now quite a few in Hanzhong City!
What about the Hanzhong army that said that it would go east to fight Cao Cao?
This made Zhang Ren's gums a little sore.
In case, the Hanzhong army in the city is killed, will he Zhang Ren flee, or will he fight to the death and not retreat?
The Shu army is 30,000, and the Hanzhong army is 30,000, which looks like half a catty and eight taels, but Zhang Ren knows that he has a few catties and taels.
Fighting general, he Zhang Ren can't beat his junior brother Zhao Zilong, and he can't beat Guan Er, even if it is Liao Hua, he can be on a par with him Zhang Ren. If you lead the army to fight, if you put aside the conspiracy and tricks, the 30,000 Shu army can defeat the 30,000 Han Chinese army.
However, with Zhuge Kongming here, how could the Hanzhong Army not play conspiracy?
Zhang Ren sent several waves of urgent messengers to ask for help from Wu Yi, who was following closely, and then asked the vanguard army to camp ten miles away from the city.
In this case, let alone attacking the city, it would be a great luck for the Hanzhong army not to attack him Zhang Ren without going out of the city!
Even, in order to prevent the Hanzhong army from attacking at night, Zhang Ren once again scattered the sentry three or five miles away.
……
In the evening, as soon as the vanguard of the Shu army set up camp, Zhang Ren received a report from the sentry cavalry, saying that a horse from the Hanzhong army had left the city and went straight to their Shu army camp.
"This is a fighter?" Zhang Ren shook his head, feeling that this idea was unreliable.
"Maybe you're here to be a lobbyist, right?!" Zhang Ren can only think so.
Thinking about it, Zhang Ren also stepped on the war horse, carried a spear, and went straight to the gate of the village.
No matter what he did, Zhang Ren felt that he must know.
Soon, Zhang Ren saw who the comer was.
"Zhao Yun, I've seen the second senior brother!" Zhao Yun straddled the horse and bowed with a spear.
Zhang Ren returned the salute, and then said with an unkind expression: "Senior brother is here, but do you want to fight with senior brother?" As the second senior brother, he couldn't beat the junior brother, and Zhang Ren didn't know how to feel.
Zhao Yun looked at the senior brother who was very angry, but he was also a little bitter in his heart.
The situation of the senior brother is actually very bad, if he can't surrender unconditionally according to what the military advisor said, they don't need to attack more in the Hanzhong army, and even if the second senior brother Zhang Ren doesn't die, he will become a prisoner of the ranks.
Do you want to become a general, or do you want to become a prisoner?
Zhao Yun didn't know how the senior brother would choose!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yun is here to give my senior brother a way out on the order of my family's military advisor!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ren was stunned at first, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, pretending to be heroic.
"Give me a way out?"
"Joke!"
"Now, my 200,000 Shu army has entered the territory of Hanzhong, how many defenders do you have in Hanzhong City?"
"The situation is so obvious, that Zhuge Xiao'er actually said that he would give a certain way out, isn't this a joke! Senior brother, otherwise, for the sake of the junior brother's face, if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang come to surrender now, senior brother, I will also give them a way to live, how about it? ”
In Zhang Ren's words, he was actually a little weak-hearted.
Yes, the 200,000 Shu army, even if it can't defeat the Hanzhong army, can it retreat with its whole body, right?
However, the 200,000 Shu army does not represent him Zhang Ren, and now under the city of Hanzhong, it is he Zhang Ren, and there are 30,000 pioneers of the Shu army.
You must know that there are 30,000 defenders in Hanzhong City at this time, as well as several generals, if Zhuge Liang really wants to swallow his Zhang Ren's vanguard of the Shu army, he Zhang Ren may not be able to escape!
Zhuge Liang's prestige in Sichuan and Shu is enough to explain through his assistance to Uncle Liu Huang in the battle to seize Hanzhong.
……
After being around the military advisor for a long time, Zhao Yun heard that his senior brother's confidence was insufficient at this time.
"Second senior brother, don't be impatient, and listen to what senior brother says." Zhao Yun smiled bitterly.
"Senior brother, do you know who is stationed at Jiamengguan now?" Zhao Yun asked.
Who is stationed at this time?
As far as Zhang Ren is concerned, it is naturally their Shu army that is stationed at Jiameng Pass, and Zhang Ren also heard that it seems that Meng Da is stationed at this pass.
It's just that now when he heard Zhao Yun ask, Zhang Ren always had a feeling of shock.
"Is it ......?"
Zhang Ren was very uneasy in his heart. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
