After making sure that Pang Tong was fine, Liu Bei went back to deal with the generals of Liu Zhang who were captured by our army. Most of these generals were willing to surrender, and Liu Bei comforted them one by one, gave them some small official positions, and promised to be officials after the pacification of Yizhou, and added heavy rewards.

As for Yang Huai, Gao Pei and the two, Liu Bei ordered them to be dragged down to cut off their heads without saying a word, so frightened that they kowtowed again and again, struggling to keep themselves from being dragged away, and screamed in their mouths to make meritorious contributions.

Liu Bei sneered and said to them: "Last time, I let you go back and let you make meritorious contributions, but how are you?" If you really did my internal response that night and lit the fire, would you still be able to kneel here now when Liu Zhang found out? ”

When the two of them heard this, they both looked at each other, and they both wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it.

I know what the two of them want to say, this matter is obvious, thanks to the fact that they didn't really surrender to do the internal response, or if they hadn't been played by Liu Bei for me, the fire would have been lit and couldn't be answered, and it would have died at Liu Zhang's hands. But many things are not something that can be said if they want to, and if they want to say so, they will definitely die faster.

I remembered that Liu Xun had now retreated to Luocheng, and in history, the eldest son of Liu Zhang, whose father had been hesitant and refused to send troops, sat back and watched his son be besieged by Liu Bei, but actually held on to Luocheng for a year, during which he also shot Pang Tong. I have to say that this kind of ability is still an obstacle for me to want Liu Bei to quickly take Shu.

So I got up from my seat and stood next to Yang Huai and Gao Pei, bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Lord Qiqi, although these two people did not surrender sincerely last time, they still have credit for the great victory of our army. When they said this, they both looked at me with great gratitude, and I knew that I was now like a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

However, I didn't pay attention to them, but continued to say to Liu Bei: "They surrendered last time they were not sincere, and they are still loyal to Liu Zhang." Those who are loyal to the old Lord should be able to use it as long as they sincerely respect you in the future. Moreover, now, although Liu Zhang was captured, but his eldest son Liu Xun still led his troops to retreat to Luocheng, although Luocheng is not too dangerous, but Song'er heard that Liu Xun's subordinates have a person named Liu Xun, who is extremely good at guarding. It's better to give these two people another chance, let them do it again, if they are obedient this time, it will not be too late to kill when the city is broken. ”

Liu Bei listened to my words, but he still couldn't make up his mind. After all, these two people have already been disobedient once, and who can guarantee that they will not be allowed to go back and not immediately oppose our army. But at this time, Pang Tong was not there, and the rest were all generals, so he had to nod, sell me a face, and said to Yang Huai and Gao Pei: "I will believe you again if I read General Zhuge to intercede for you, and I will believe you again, if you have two hearts this time, you will not be spared when the time comes!" ”

Yang Huai and Gao Pei were desperate, and they kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even said, "Please rest assured, Uncle Huang, we will definitely make meritorious service this time to repay Uncle Huang's kindness for not killing!" ”

So the two agreed with Liu Bei that after returning to the city, they would secretly take someone to open the city gate and let our army enter the city at the third watch. And Liu Bei this time, according to my idea, he still sent 100 soldiers who were originally under their subordinates to go back together. I even thought of a reason for them: after Liu Zhang decided to take the mountain road, he ordered the two to take these soldiers to open the way in front, but Huang Zhong, who was in ambush, let them go in order to prevent them from startling the snake, and only led the army to kill when Liu Zhang passed by. The two desperately rescued them, but they had no choice but to go back to Luocheng to join Liu Xun first.

After the two left, Zhang Ren was the next to be mentioned. This Zhang Ren's eyes were wide open, and he looked like he would rather die than obey. It can be seen that Liu Bei admires such a person more, because there is no Liang Zi who shot Pang Tong in history, so he even wants to untie the rope for Zhang Ren in person.

However, this Zhang Ren didn't appreciate it at all, and kept scolding Liu Bei for being an ungrateful villain who broke the alliance and broke the contract. scolded Liu Bei's face was extremely bad, but he was unwilling to behead him like this, so he could only say something to him that as long as he surrendered, he could avoid death.

But Zhang Ren put the words down: "Even if it falls today, it won't fall in the future, so kill me quickly!" ”

I saw that Liu Bei had been forced to go down without steps, so I paved the steps for him and said: "Lord, although this person is talented, but he does not know the current affairs and is extremely arrogant, I ask you to send him to me, let Song'er temper for you for a few days, and when you are convinced, I will return it to you!" ”

Liu Beizheng was helpless, and when he heard me say this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay! I'll leave it to you first! ”

I ordered Zheng Liang to lead someone to pull him down and find a firewood room to close it for a few days. Zheng Liang responded, Liu Bei looked at Zheng Liang's back and couldn't help but sigh: "Song'er, your subordinate named Zheng Liang is indeed brave in battle, and he acts neatly, and he is a rare talent." Now that Zilong is not by my side, and no one around me can compare to him, I plan to mention him as my personal commander to protect my safety, what do you think? ”

I can say that I was stupid by Liu Bei's request. What is most important in this day and age? Talent, of course! This Zheng Liang can be said to have been pulled out of the ranks by me, without me, he may only be a relatively capable soldier in Wuling County now, and he doesn't even have the strong armor on the generals, not necessarily in that war, he may be easily killed by stray arrows and rot in the wilderness.

It is Zheng Liang who I fancies, and he has been carefully cultivated to the present. But when I was repelling Liu Xun in front of the pass, because Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were not there, Huo Jun had to guard the pass with me, so I sent Zheng Liang to guard Liu Bei's safety.

Unexpectedly, just this time, I was taken by the big leader!

If you want to say it, I'm really distressed! I'm poor in martial arts, and my ability to charge into battle is almost zero. Jiang Xiaoyu is only good at water, and land warfare is not an ordinary person, if I can have a water army in the future, I may consider cultivating him and leading him. If there is no Zheng Liang, let me go to war in the future, even if I can come up with a good idea, no one will be able to implement it!

But if you want to say no, to be honest, even I am Liu Bei's now. There is a saying that a companion is like a tiger, he is happy now that he wants someone, if I insist on not giving it, offending him and not saying it, he will directly force him to leave, and I can only obey.

Thinking of this, I had no choice but to give in. Qiang Yan smiled and said to Liu Bei: "Thanks to the lord, it is his blessing to be able to see it, but you also know Song'er's ability, although the soldiers under my command are taught by me in peacetime, Zheng Liang is used to taking them into battle to kill the enemy." Now that Chengdu is not broken, it is the time to employ people, when Chengdu is broken, Song'er will look for another candidate, and let Zheng Liang lead the personal soldiers for you?

Liu Bei heard that I was willing to release him, and he was really happy today because of the relationship between capturing Liu Zhang, so he agreed without saying a word.

When I went back, I told Zheng Liang what Liu Bei meant, but I didn't expect Zheng Liang's resolute look on his face, he said to me: "Zheng Liang was promoted by you, my lord, and I just want to be born and die by your side in this life, you better tell the lord and find someone else to be the commander of the army!" ”

I couldn't help but sigh that I really didn't see the wrong person, and I was very moved. But in all fairness, following Liu Bei is definitely much more promising than being by my side, maybe after serving for a long time, Liu Bei will be happy one day, and his official position will be much higher than mine, which will be more conducive to his future development.

Of course, people are also selfish, I definitely don't want to let him go, if I let him go, it will be even more difficult for my wish to save Guan Yu to come true. But I really can't disobey Liu Bei's wishes now, so I decided to talk about it later, so I slapped him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You idiot, you don't want to be a general!" ”

Zheng Liang didn't hesitate this time: "Yes!" But I just want to be a general under you! ”

"Shh I motioned for him to be quieter and told him, "It's no joke to let my lord hear. He scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and I said to him: "Don't think about it so much, it's better to wait until the lord captures Chengdu and pacifies Yizhou!" ”
