Chapter 80: The Warrior Surrenders
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "General Zuo, think about your situation under Zhang Yan, now in this situation, you have done your best, and the people of the world will not say that you are disloyal, you better think about it." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zuo Xiao listened and listened, but he was already in deep thought.
"Zhang Yan, my Colonel Zuo is working hard for you in the front, so far, I have done my best, I can't let my soldiers make senseless sacrifices."
Colonel Zuo gritted his teeth, obviously moved by Zhang Yuan's words, but hesitated.
Zhang Yuan knew that Zuo Xiao still had a trace of worry, worried that his surrender at will would make the world shameful, in case he easily listened to it and demoted Zhang Yuan like this, not only would he be laughed at by the world for being disloyal in the future, but what face would he have standing between heaven and earth.
Seeing Colonel Zuo's hesitation, Zhang Yuan was also displeased, so he said coldly: "Colonel Zuo, I have endured it here, I have done my best, what should be said has been said, I will give you a day to think about it, if you don't surrender in two days, I will raze Chen Liucheng to the ground." ”
With that, Zhang Yuan turned around and returned to his own formation.
"Lord, you have already explained this, looking at Colonel Zuo's attitude, I am only afraid that he will not believe your words and will continue to be stubborn, but what should I do," Fan Lihua said worriedly.
The corners of Zhang Yuan's mouth swept into a sly smile, "Don't worry, let's just wait for him for a while, maybe he will come and surrender soon." ”
Fan Lihua was stunned, her face was dazed, obviously she couldn't hear the meaning of Zhang Yuan's words, but she could only accompany Zhang Yuan outside Macheng and continue to wait.
At this time, Colonel Zuo was already annoyed and full of suspicion, and returned to Chen Liucheng.
When he just entered the city gate, he found hundreds of Black Mountain soldiers blocking the city gate, all of them staring at him with deep hostility.
"Whatever you want, get out of here," Colonel Zuo shouted.
None of the Montenegrin soldiers blocking the road got out of the way, and people kept joining, and a pair of suspicious and hostile eyes stared at him as if they were staring at prey.
A chill passed through Colonel Zuo's back, and he vaguely felt the abnormality, but his face sank, and he shouted: "If you don't get out of the way, it will kill you,"
There was a deathly silence, and no one moved.
"Traitor, you colluded with Thief Zhang, sabotaged the general's strategy, killed our General Tao, and now you are blatantly meeting with Thief Zhang and wanting to surrender the city, why should we listen to the orders of a traitor," in the crowd, someone suddenly scolded loudly.
Zuo Xiao's figure was suddenly shocked, and suddenly realized that Zhang Yuan had an appointment with him today, and it was another divisive plan, and he fell for Zhang Yuan's plan invisibly.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Yuan ordered Tao Sheng to turn against Colonel Zuo, which made these subordinates of Tao Sheng full of deep suspicion about Colonel Zuo.
Tao Sheng died in battle, and these people lost their leader, so they could only obey the command of Colonel Zuo with suspicion.
And Fang Cai, Zhang Yuan's meeting with Zuo Xiao, and Zuo Xiao's dissatisfaction with Zhang Yan, invisibly, it is equivalent to confirming the name of Zuo Xiao's traitor in their hearts.
They have decided that Colonel Left is a traitor.
Colonel Zuo realized that it was too late, and hundreds of soldiers had already approached, and they were about to make a move with him.
"Bastards, you fools, you are as stupid as your master Tao Sheng, you can casually fall for other people's discordant schemes, are you all a bunch of stupid pigs?"
Colonel Zuo was also forced to fire by these soldiers, and scolded with a horizontal gun, and the murderous intention was born in his eyes.
The group of Tao Sheng's subordinates who approached were all shocked, and subconsciously took half a step back, as if they were intimidated by the might of Colonel Zuo.
"You betrayed the general and killed our General Wen Ze, brothers, avenge General Wen Ze, let's rush up and kill this traitor,"
There was a roar from the crowd, and someone took the lead in incitement, and the anger of the soldiers immediately burned, and hundreds of angry soldiers rushed towards Colonel Zuo with a shouting of scolding.
Colonel Zuo's expression changed in shock, he didn't expect that these soldiers really dared to "rebel", seeing the soldiers surrounding and killing, he knew that he could no longer defend himself, so he had to raise his gun to resist.
A group of Tao Sheng's old subordinates, who were loyal to Zhang Yan, fought with Zuo Xiao, the nominal commander-in-chief, at the city gate.
Although the number of soldiers was not enough, they could not match the force value of more than 80 of Colonel Zuo, but Colonel Zuo's subordinates showed mercy and did not want to kill.
It's a pity that these soldiers were carried away by hatred, and they didn't care about Colonel Zuo's mercy, and they rushed towards Colonel Zuo like crazy, all of which were fatal moves.
Colonel Zuo was alone, and soon he was forced to hurry, and retreated step by step towards the city gate.
"You idiots, you've all fallen for Zhang Yuan's discordant scheme, why don't you stop it for me, stupid pigs," Colonel Zuo shouted as he danced his guns and fought wildly.
Those soldiers were crazy, and when they heard his explanation, several soldiers rushed to the outside of the city gate, tried to close the city gate, and besieged Colonel Zuo on the spot.
At this point, Colonel Zuo has been forced to the point where there is no way out.
If he still stays in the city, as soon as the gate is closed, even if his force is not weak, it will be difficult to defeat two fists and four hands, and sooner or later he will be besieged and killed.
He had no choice.
Seeing that the city gate was about to squeak and close, Colonel Zuo had to grit his teeth, swept the silver spear in all directions, swept away the group of soldiers, turned his horse, and galloped towards the closing city gate.
"Stop this traitor,"
At the city gate, several soldiers who were closing the gate shouted and pounced, trying to prevent Colonel Zuo from leaving the city.
At this moment, Colonel Zuo was already really angry by them, and with murderous intent in his eyes, the silver spear shot out, and there was no mercy.
After only two screams, the two soldiers were stabbed to the ground, and the left colonel rode like a fly, and finally rushed out before the gate was closed.
Running out of the city gate, there was a moat in front of him, and the left colonel did not retreat, slammed the horse's belly a few times, and one person and one rider took advantage of the momentum, flew up, and jumped over the moat.
The other end of the moat is the territory of Zhang Jun, although these Montenegrin soldiers are ruthless to Colonel Zuo, they dare not chase out of the city, and they swarm up to the top of the city and release arrows at the fleeing Colonel Zuo.
Colonel Zuo didn't dare to turn back, while waving his gun to block the attacking arrows, he rode alone, and fled in the direction of Zhang Ying.
A hundred steps south of the city, Zhang Yuan had immediately crossed his sword, smiled at the wind and clouds, and waited for him for a long time.
Seeing Colonel Zuo fleeing in embarrassment, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yuan's mouth.
"Lord, Zuo Colonel, he really ......" Fan Lihua next to her, when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be shocked and looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise.
Zhang Yuan smiled faintly, "The defenders in the city are all Tao Sheng's old subordinates, these people are all Zhang Yan's diehards, Colonel Zuo is suspected by them, and he has no choice but to go out of the city and join me." ”
Fan Lihua suddenly realized that when Zhang Yuanshicai met alone, he was invisibly implementing a discord plan against the enemy.
Seeing that Colonel Zuo was coming from nowhere, Zhang Yuan took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "General Zuo, I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly, fortunately, I haven't left." ”
Looking at Zhang Yuan who was smiling, Colonel Zuo was both embarrassed and admired, and his expression was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, I don't know what it tasted like.
On the one hand, he admired Zhang Yuan's resourcefulness, and he forced himself to have no way out in just a few words, but on the other hand, he had a little resentment towards Zhang Yuan, and secretly complained that Zhang Yuan had forced him to such an embarrassing situation.
In desperation, Colonel Zuo had to put the silver gun on the ground to show that there was no hostility, and then smiled bitterly, "Lord, your methods are so clever, you finally forced Zuo to a dead end." ”
Zhang Yuan laughed and said: "If I don't use some means, how can I force you to come to Shun, I didn't force you to a dead end, but forced you to a broad road of meritorious service, glory and wealth." ”
Meritorious service, glory and wealth......
Eight words echoed in Colonel Zuo's heart, deeply shocking him.
Recalling Zhang Yuan's repeated victories, he was already convinced that Zhang Yuan was a stronger hero than Zhang Yan.
And Zhang Yan, when he was fighting hard in front of him, he didn't believe in himself, and he abandoned himself in this lonely city, which is really hateful.
Now that it has come to this point, what is there to hesitate about.
Zuo Colonel's eyes suddenly lit up, as if suddenly enlightened, took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, and walked to Zhang Yuan in a few steps, arching his hand is a deep arch, "The lord is a hero in the world, it is rare to appreciate the school so much, the school has nothing to repay, I am willing to go to the soup for the lord, and I will not hesitate." ”
This Black Mountain general, who was proficient in cavalry warfare, finally surrendered at his feet.
In addition to Ran Min Yang Zhi, Zhang Yuan added another horseman, and he still dug Zhang Yan's corner, how happy he was.
He jumped off the horse, helped Colonel Zuo up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "General Zuo, this cavalry general, I seem to have seen it, my Zhang Yuan's iron horse, the future of sweeping the world, go, drink, let's not get drunk tonight." ”
Zhang Yuan turned on his horse again, and took Colonel Zuo to the camp, and when he turned around, he casually gave an order, so that the besieging army could attack, break through Chen Liu, and kill all the recalcitrant enemy soldiers.
Fan Lihua saw that Zuo Colonel had surrendered and escaped, so she was naturally overjoyed, and she added a little admiration to Zhang Yuan's eyes.
At that moment, Zhang Yuan took his newly acquired tiger general and returned to the camp with great interest, and set up a banquet, firstly, to welcome the return of Colonel Zuo, and secondly, to celebrate this great victory.
In this wine, I drank until the middle of the night, and the generals were still drinking in the outer tent, but Hua Mulan had already helped Zhang Yuan, who was drunk for seven or eight points, and went to the inner tent to rest.
"Really, even if you're happy, you don't have to drink so much, what should I do if I hurt my body......"
Fan Lihua complained in her mouth, helped Zhang Yuannuo's big body to the bed, took off her boots for him, took off her coat, and waited for him, only to be tired and panting, and sweating.
Zhang Yuan was not completely drunk, and opened his eyes in a haze, but saw Mulan leaning in front of him, covering the quilt for himself.
She was so tired that she was drenched in sweat, and a faint smell of sweat entered her nose, and this smell couldn't help but make Zhang Yuan's heart flutter.
