"Lord, please mourn! General Zhong has an upright personality, and it is really embarrassing to kill the lord like this, and he also asked the lord to order General Zhong to be buried thickly! ”

Zhang Lu nodded, waved his hand, and said weakly: "Just do what General Ding wants!" In addition, Mr. Yang Song is also a loyal person, and he died for me, so he deserves to be buried together! ”

Ding Yanping wanted to say something, but Zhang Lu stopped him, he asked everyone to go down, he just wanted to be quiet alone and think about the future. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Luo Cheng came to Ding Yanping's big tent and wanted to ask about his future stay. When he saw that Ding Yanping still had a sad face, he couldn't help but persuade: "Why is my father-in-law so troubled? Since the lord has the heart to surrender, no matter how much I persuade him, it will be useless. What's more, the lord doesn't have any ambitions at all, even if he follows him, he won't have any future in the future, so it's better to vote for the lord as soon as possible, which is also a good thing! ”

Luo Cheng's words seemed to have touched Ding Yanping's bottom line, only to see him shoot the case and shout: "How dare the rebel make such a rebellious statement!" There is nothing wrong with the surrender of the lord, and we will follow, but now that the lord has not made a decision, you are here to make such rebellious words, that is, to betray the lord and seek glory, what should you be guilty of? ”

Seeing Ding Yanping's anger, Luo Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "The righteous father is angry, Luo Cheng lost his words, please punish the righteous father!" ”

"Although you and I are not related by blood, we are closer than father and son, and I naturally hope that you can have a good future. It's just that the eldest husband is alive, and he should be worthy of his heart. Now that the lord can't make a choice, we still have to do our duty as a minister. ”

Ding Yanping educated Luo Cheng earnestly, and Luo Cheng had no choice but to nod his head and agree.

Zhong Kui's death still had a great impact on Zhang Lu's heart, so he didn't immediately let people contact Ma Teng, but just hung Ma Teng's army outside the pass. Although Ma Teng sent people to shoot letters to the customs several times and said to Zhang Luchen that he was powerful, Zhang Lu ignored it completely and ignored Ma Teng's anger at all.

On this day, suddenly the spies came to report that Chen Yucheng's army had captured Jiameng Pass, and Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei was defeated and fled to Yangping Pass.

Hearing this news, Zhang Lu was shocked, he never expected Chen Yucheng's army to come so quickly. If Chen Yucheng led the army to Yangping Pass, Zhang Lu began to worry about his fate. At that time, there are two armies outside Guanguan, if they really attack together, then the fall of Yangpingguan will be in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lu knew that he didn't have time to think about it anymore, so he immediately asked people to invite all the civil and military forces in the pass to discuss the matter of preparing to switch and surrender and welcome Ma Teng into the pass.

This time Zhang Lu really made up his mind, so no matter how Ding Yanping and others objected, Zhang Lu insisted on his opinion, and ordered Yang Ang and Yang Ren to prepare all the formalities, personally open the door, and lead the troops to surrender to Ma Teng.

After Ma Teng was surrendered, it was not difficult for Zhang Lu, under the leadership of Zhang Lu, the Xiliang army finally entered Yangping Pass, receiving all the soldiers and horses and population of Hanzhong.

After the lord is General Fubo of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu believes that the general will live up to the name of General Fubo and revitalize the Han family. Now Xichuan Liu Zhang is still struggling with each other, I heard that Chen Quan has captured Jiameng Pass, and the army is approaching Yangping Pass, and I hope the general will be careful. ”

Ma Teng naturally knew the news of Chen Yucheng's army, and he also knew that Zhang Lu suddenly surrendered to Cheng, and he must have been influenced by Chen Yucheng, and he had already sent Wei Ran to lead the army to ambush Chen Yucheng at this moment.

"Zhang Tianshi doesn't need to worry, it's just Chen Quan, it's not enough to worry about it, and there are already arrangements. By the way, why didn't you see the young general who fought with the dog outside the gate that day? ”

Of course, Luo Cheng and Ma Chao had a big battle, which made Ma Teng love Luo Cheng very much; And now Ma Teng didn't find Luo Cheng after watching it for a long time, so he asked.

"Luo Cheng should be grounded by his father-in-law now, and he can't go out, if the lord wants to see him, then I will let someone pass him on."

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, Ma Teng smiled and said, "Is Luo Cheng's father-in-law General Ding Yanping Ding?" Teng has heard that this person's marksmanship is also quite good, but why don't you see General Ding now? ”

Ding Yanping saw that Zhang Lu was stubborn, he couldn't dissuade him, sighed, and returned to his tent, refusing to surrender.

In the end, Ma Teng took Ma Chao and Pang De to Ding Yanping's big tent and personally invited Ding Yanping to surrender to Ma Teng.

At this time, Chen Yucheng was leading the army to pursue Zhang Wei's defeated army, Zhang Wei now only had thousands of remnants under his command, when he thought he had no way out, Wei Ran led the army to suddenly kill, Chen Yucheng was unprepared, and was killed and returned defeated. Wei Ran rescued Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei didn't know what was going on, and after Wei Ran and Zhang Wei explained the situation, Zhang Wei still couldn't believe it.

After Zhang Wei saw Zhang Lu in person, he immediately asked anxiously: "Big brother, what happened?" Why did the eldest brother surrender to Ma Teng? ”

Zhang Lu smiled and said, "If I don't come down, how can you have a life today?" This is the trend of the times, beyond the reach of manpower! At this point, needless to say, I believe that Ma Teng will not treat you and my brother badly. ”

Zhang Wei was not convinced, but he was helpless, that night, Ma Teng held a banquet to reward the three armies, and Ma Teng took the opportunity to go to the Meridian Valley with Zhang Lu to plan a surprise attack.

"Lord, by all means! Although the Meridian Valley can indeed go directly to Chang'an, it is difficult and dangerous on the way, and it is extremely difficult for people and horses to pass! If the army goes here, there will inevitably be heavy casualties, please think twice! ”

Zhang Lu's words made Ma Teng smile disdainfully and said, "Heavenly Master, this is a mistake!" Since I was secretly ordered by the Son of Heaven to beg the thief, I have been sleeping all night, and I have not dared to relax at all; So far, the Cao thief has been used with troops, and there have been injuries. It's just that now Chang'an is difficult, and it has not been able to move forward by half a point. Since there is such a shortcut to break Chang'an, even if someone sacrifices because of this, it is inevitable. As long as they can capture Chang'an, I believe that their sacrifice will be worth it. ”

Ma Teng's words made Zhang Lu have no room for opposition at all, he clearly knew Ma Teng's ambitions, he would not care about the casualties of the soldiers, not to mention, the Meridian Valley surprise attack was to be completed by the soldiers under Zhang Lu's command.

Thinking that as soon as he surrendered, his soldiers would suffer a catastrophe, Zhang Lu's mood couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Seeing his reaction, Ma Teng hurriedly comforted him: "Why should Tianshi Zhang be so worried! Although the Meridian Valley is rugged and difficult to navigate, as long as you are careful along the way, there will not be too many accidents, and the soldiers under the command of the Heavenly Master are quite familiar with the mountain roads, which will definitely greatly reduce the casualties. ”

"Lord, even if the Meridian Valley is feasible, but if our army withdraws from the Meridian Valley here, then Yangping Pass will be undefended, Chen Quan will inevitably take advantage of the weakness to enter, and it will be unstable after the time, if Chang'an is not taken, but Hanzhong is lost, wouldn't it be trapped in the land of tens of thousands of soldiers in Hanzhong?"
