『Chapter error, click here to report』

After getting the good news that Fa Zheng and the others in the south could block Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan, Lu Peng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Liu Bei in the south was blocked by Liu Zhang's subordinates in the name now, he could operate calmly here.

Therefore, Lu Peng was like a general who conveyed the order later, ordering his catapults and fire oil bombs to be transported over, preparing to continue to use fire to attack the county town that blocked his progress.

Then, when the overall situation was decided and there was plenty of time, Lü Peng instructed Liu to send an envoy to Hanzhong to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender himself.

Now Zhang Lu is cornered, the east is depressed and breathless by Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan Pang De, but in the south, Yan Xing with 30,000 troops is aggressive, Yan Xing did not complete the mission at all in accordance with the original regulations to hold the pass, but continued to harass and attack Zhang Lu, involving Zhang Lu's small number of troops, so that he could not take care of each other in the southeast, and Zhang Lu's fall was only a matter of time.

Seeing that the reality was already in front of him, and it had become a foregone conclusion that the world would be unified again in the hands of Lu Peng, Zhang Lu finally put forward the simplest condition: "It's okay to surrender, and I will definitely not insist on holding the military power, but I must hand Liu Zhang over to myself to deal with, in order to repay Liu Zhang's hatred for killing his parents, wife and children." ”

got this request, Pang Tong was the first to object: "Although Liu Zhang is weak, it can be regarded as perverse in Yizhou, but after all, you were once his father Liu Yan's subordinate, if you kill Liu Zhang, you will be criticized and accused by the world's moral scholars, which is absolutely detrimental to your reputation, so you should resolutely refuse Zhang Lu's request, anyway, Zhang Lu is already cornered, and when we solve Liu Zhang, it will be enough to reflexively kill back." ”

Lu Peng pinched his beardless chin and said with a smile: "Sir's proposal is very good, and I must also do it to establish a good reputation for myself, but I think it is still necessary to meet Zhang Lu's requirements, to be able to take Hanzhong without spending a single soldier, and to be able to take Hanzhong without damaging the lives of the soldiers, which is what I hope." ”

"It's hard to do both, now King Tang is no longer the reckless hero he used to be, and has shouldered the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, so you must pay attention to your reputation now, which is very necessary." Pang Tong once again made heart-wrenching suggestions.

Lu Peng grinned and said: "I understand this, I will also cherish the feathers, and I will also give an example to all the warlords in the world who are about to surrender to me, I want to treat them well, otherwise who will dare to surrender me in the future?" ”

"It's good that the lord knows this." Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief, this lord is not very difficult to serve, is it easy to accept the advice of his subordinates.

As a result, Lu Peng put forward one thing with a smile: "I am going to build a nursing home in Youzhou, I will give all the warlords who take the initiative to take refuge in me a noble name, and then raise them there to enjoy the most luxurious treatment in the world, military advisor, do you think this method is good?" ”

Regarding Lu Peng's sudden brainless idea, Pang Tong thought about it carefully, then nodded: "This is indeed a good way, for those who take the initiative to surrender to us, we are still high-ranking officials and lords, and give them a suitable position, but for people like Liu Zhang who resolutely resist and are finally captured by us, of course we can't be too cheap for him and deprive them of all their power, this is a must!" But in order to give outsiders a good look, give them a fictitious title, keeping them in captivity is the best way. At least let those who still want to resist feel that they give up resistance at the last moment, and they can still be treated kindly, so they will not fight to the death with us. ”

Lu Peng nodded with satisfaction: "Being able to get Mr.'s approval proves that my idea is not bad, now I think, put Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu together, with Liu Zhang's small body, will Zhang Lu be directly strangled to death in the blink of an eye?" When the time comes, shall I report an accidental death, or will I report a death in a fight? ”

Pang Tong stammered and determined one thing, his lord was indeed too shameless and too black-bellied.

So when Lü Peng and Liu Zhang confronted each other in Luo County, Zhang Lu, who was already cornered, laid down his arms and surrendered to Lü Peng after receiving a personal guarantee from Lü Peng's secret letter.

Lü Peng accepted his surrender, but did not send Zhang Lu to Youzhou to be honored according to the original plan, but according to the current situation, Zhang Lu has an absolute folk reputation in Hanzhong, and his identity as the leader of the Wudoumi Sect will have a bad impact on Lü Peng's rule in Hanzhong in the future.

Zhang Lu's power was eliminated, and the pressure in Guanzhong was gone, so Guanzhong and the current Lu Peng and Xiliang were completely connected, no longer a lonely enclave, Zhuge Liang saw that the opportunity to take the pass no longer existed, and Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan was also blocked, so Zhuge Liang decided to take Huang Zhong to garrison Luoyang, on the one hand to assist Emperor Han Xian, on the other hand to guard Si Li, and send Guan Yu, who can fight well, to Xichuan to support Liu Bei.

As soon as he received this battle report, Lu Peng also immediately made adjustments, letting Zhang Yanzhen guard the pass, frustrating and joining the army, only seeking to hold on, not trying to attack.

Zhang Yan was originally a great talent in history who could be literate and martial arts, and this time he made the best use of it, and with the help of frustration, there was absolutely no problem in guarding Guanzhong.

And Zhao Yun Pound, who is the most capable of fighting, was directly transferred to Yizhou to help him.

The reason for such a decision is actually Lu Peng's bad taste.

I think that there is a cultural relic in the future generations, which clearly depicts the three heroes fighting Zhao Yun, yes, there is indeed such a brain-opening cultural relic, so Lu Peng had a heart-opening attack, ready to sit on this brain-opening cultural relic, and prepare to let Zhao Yun go to the south to help Fa Zheng lead Liu Guanzhang's attack, and really hope to have a good show of three heroes against Zhao Yun.

Of course, this is a pure spoof, Lu Peng doesn't want such a thing to happen, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei plus the force value is definitely not an ordinary Liu Bei, and he doesn't want his brother to make any mistakes.

He was going to send Zhao Yun to the south to help Fa Zheng and Meng Da, because he thought that due to the south, Liu Guan and Zhang would converge, and he would not send Zhao Yun over, he was really afraid that Fa Zheng Meng Da and they would not be able to stop them, so that Liu Bei rushed in, and then he would have to face Liu Bei directly, it would be a very embarrassing situation, and the time was not yet ripe to tear his face with Liu Bei.

With Zhao Yun's entry into Sichuan, he also brought with him a large number of siege equipment that he was preparing to attack Zhang Lu, including more than 500 catapults alone, and countless fire oil bombs.

So just overnight, in front of the small county seat of Ruoxian, a forest of catapults was erected, and Lu Peng issued an ultimatum to Deng Xian, either surrender or burn the jade.
