The Wei army battalion.

Laughter resounded in the night sky, and the smell of wine filled the night.

Su Zhe is killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, and rewarding the soldiers of the three armies with good wine and meat to celebrate this unprecedented victory.

After this battle, the annihilation of the Han army reached 20,000 people, and completely opened up the way to Yangping Pass, which was a veritable victory.

After this battle, the next target is Yangping Pass, how strong and majestic that pass is, Su Zhe knows very well, and it is not a day or two to be able to capture it.

Therefore, Su Zhe was not in a hurry to attack Yangping Pass immediately, and first asked the soldiers to rest for a few days, and it was not too late to go north after recuperating enough.

Outside the imperial tent, the soldiers sang and danced and carnivaled.

In the imperial tent, the heroic laughter was also endless, and the generals were unbridled and full of pride.

Su Zhe was in great interest, and on the spot, he sealed the ministers, Wei Yan, Deng Ai, Yan Liang and other meritorious generals, all of whom were sealed and rewarded with money.

After a few rounds of drinking, Yan Liang suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister almost forgot to tell you that this time the minister pursued Liu Bei, although he failed to kill the big-eared thief, but captured his general Zhang Ren alive. ”

Hearing Zhang Ren's name, Su Zhe's eyes couldn't help but light up.

This person is the first general in Shu, and in the history of the past, the famous Pang Tong died under Zhang Ren's arrow.

Su Zhe loves talent, such a general, if he can be summoned under his command and used by me, it will naturally be the best.

At that moment, Su Zhe waved his hand and said, "Come on, bring that Zhang Ren in." ”

As soon as the holy decree was handed down, Huang Quan and Yan Yan glanced at each other, and a trace of worry appeared in their eyes.

Of course, they could see that Su Zhe had the intention to surrender Zhang Ren.

But they knew better that Zhang Ren had a strong and proud temperament, and if he was surrendered by Su Zhe in public, even if it was for the sake of face, it would be absolutely impossible to surrender.

At that time, wouldn't it be a pity if Su Zhe was angry and beheaded Zhang Ren.

Thinking of this, Huang Quan hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this Zhang Zikan is extremely stubborn, can you ask Your Majesty's ministers and others to persuade him first." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a chance first, let's go." Su Zhe said with a brush.

Huang Quan and Yan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up to thank him, and quit the account.

At that moment, the two of them waited outside the tent, and the two of them were thinking about how to persuade Zhang Ren to surrender.

A moment later, the disgraced Zhang Ren was escorted forward.

When Zhang Ren saw the two of them for a moment, his brows immediately condensed into a rope, and deep disgust swelled in his eyes, and he twisted his head away with a cold snort, disdainful of looking at him.

"Zikan, long time no see." Huang Quan greeted with a smile.

Zhang Ren snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Betrayer, you are not qualified to talk to me Zhang Ren!" You don't want to persuade me to surrender, I Zhang Ren will not be like you, a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

Huang Quan frowned, he had good intentions, and before he could say anything, he was sarcastically humiliated by Zhang Ren's head and face, and it was natural for him to be unhappy.

He forcibly endured it and said with a wry smile: "Zikan, what you said is the truth, I did betray Liu Bei, but do you know why I betrayed him?" ”

"Hmph, it's not that you're greedy for life and afraid of death." Zhang Ren snorted contemptuously.

Huang Quan was not annoyed, but said silently: "You are wrong, the reason why I, Huang Quan, betrayed Liu Bei is because of Liu Bei's righteous brother Guan Yu, he was unrighteous first, and I betrayed him later!" ”

Zhang Ren's expression moved slightly, and he was no longer sarcastic.

Huang Quan said: "When the world was cutting down Shu, I repeatedly gave Guan Yu advice, but he was stubborn and self-serving, and repeatedly refused to listen to persuasion, which eventually led to successive defeats in Lian Zhan and the fall of important towns in Jiangzhou. ”

"At the time when the city was broken, Guan Yu fled for his life, knowing that he would die after the break, and left me to break the queen for him, and finally made me capture by the Son of Heaven, these things, I'm afraid Guan Yu has never told you."

Zhang Ren's eyes flashed a hint of color, obviously quite surprised by Huang Quan's words, and he had never heard Guan Yu mention it at all.

In Guan Yu's mouth, the fall of White Emperor City, the fall of Jiangzhou, and all the responsibility for the defeat of the army is that these Shu generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they have nothing to do with him Guan Yu at all.

"Liu Bei and Guan Yu are in the same breath, what Guan Yu did represents Liu Bei's will, they regard me Huang Quan as an outcast, why do I have to accompany Huang Quan for them, am I stupid?" Huang Quan asked rhetorically.

Mentioning these old things, Huang Quan was still inevitably indignant, and his face was angry.

Zhang Ren was silent, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of empathy and sadness.

He remembered his own experience.

He was also in Liu Bei's crisis, regarded as an outcast, stayed and broke off, but was finally defeated and captured alive by Yan Liang.

He, like Huang Quan, was seen as a sacrificeable person and was ruthlessly abandoned.

Huang Quan's words pierced the wound in his heart, how could he not arouse his sadness.

Yan Yan continued: "Since ancient times, there is a benevolent monarch before there can be a loyal minister, the Liu family is not kind to us, do we still have to be loyal to the Liu family, and be laughed at by the world as a foolish and loyal fool?" ”

Zhang Ren's expression was shocked, and he finally revealed that he was touched.

Huang Quan followed and said: "Zikan you must have also noticed it, then Liu Bei has always distrusted our Shu people, in addition to the law of filial piety, our Shu people are under Liu Bei, how many people are in high positions, can they speak?" ”

"Look at the Son of Heaven of Great Wei again, after General Yan surrendered, the Son of Heaven ignored his past suspicions, and always let General Yan take on important responsibilities, how can this weight be comparable to Liu Bei."

"And I, Huang Quan, can follow the Son of Heaven from beginning to end and give advice to the Son of Heaven."

"The Son of Heaven's trust and respect for our Shu people is far better than Liu Bei, isn't the Son of Heaven's bearing worthy of our allegiance?"

Zhang Ren's frowning brows relaxed, the hostility between his eyebrows gradually disappeared, and his eyes became hesitant, obviously deeply touched.

Huang Quan knew that his heart had been shaken, so he further said: "The Son of Heaven loves talents, everyone knows that you don't see the command of the Son of Heaven, how many of them were once his enemies, such as the Yan Liang Yan Zizheng who defeated Zikan you, he used to be Yuan Shao's important minister, almost called the mortal enemy of the Son of Heaven, but now he is the first fierce general under the command of the Son of Heaven, isn't this still loyal to prove that the Son of Heaven is the true master of the world who is worthy of allegiance!" ”

The world is in the heart......

The Lord of Destiny......

These words echoed in Zhang Ren's mind, his heart was surging, his thoughts were tumbling and turbulent, and his stubborn stubbornness was being quickly destroyed.

He recalled that under Liu Bei's command, he was squeezed out by Guan Yu and Ma Chao, who Liu Bei really trusted.

He recalled Liu Bei's resolute indifferent eyes when he was forcibly ordered by Liu Bei.

In his heart, anger and resentment gradually ignited.

is no longer anger at Su Zhe, but indignation and resentment against Liu Bei.

After weighing it for a long time, Zhang Ren took a deep breath and said resolutely: "Liu Bei, you are unkind, don't blame me Zhang Ren for being unjust." Let's go, take me to the Son of Heaven! ”
