Chapter 419: Zhang Liao Surrenders

Zhang Liao was under LΓΌ Bu as early as when he merged the state, and LΓΌ Bu had been treating him as a brother for many years, and Gao Shun, another close general, was the right-hand man, and in the five years after Dong Zhuo's death, he was promoted from a small military Sima to the rank of cavalry captain, Beidi Taishou, and Lu Xiang.

A young general who is less than thirty years old was promoted by Lu Bu all the way, and Gao Shun, a Zhonglang general in his forties, is extremely rare among the warlords of the entire Han Dynasty, although there are many of them Zhang Liao's personal talents, but Lu Bu's kindness to him can also be seen.

But later, after Cao Cao captured Xiapi and killed Lu Bu, Gao Shun chose to be heroic and righteous, but he survived, and he did not have the slightest help to the old master mother who was in trouble, and he didn't even have a word of condolence, even if he thought about it, he felt ashamed, and now he was said by Miss Lu Lingqi in front of everyone, and he felt even more embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

But seeing that Lu Lingqi did not stop, but continued: "If you really take refuge in the imperial court, then it's okay, after all, you are also for the common people in the world and to support the Han family, but who are you taking refuge in?" This is a typical national thief, this person deceived the Son of Heaven, Ling the minister, and even did such evil deeds as abolishing the queen and poisoning the prince, but you still regard him as a reborn parent, hehe, Zhang Wenyuan, you first took refuge in Dong Zhongying, and then in Cao Mengde, my Han has been the object of your loyalty to the two great thieves for more than ten years, you are really a real loyal person. ”

Zhang Liao was silent when he heard this, although Lu Lingqi's words were harsh, but he knew that there was really nothing wrong, the reputation of the warlords he had been loyal to was not good, Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and stayed overnight in the dragon bed. fornicated and abused the palace concubine, and at that time it was the public enemy of the world; Later, Lu Bu was cunning and repeated, which was not tolerated by the princes; And Cao Cao was a national thief, bullying the ministers of the Son of Heaven, first killing Dong Guiren's family, and later deposing the queen without authorization. and put the former queen to death, and poisoned the crown prince, and everyone who was loyal to the Han hated him to the core.

What made him feel even more helpless was that Dong Zhuo died at the hands of Lu Bu, and he couldn't kill Lu Bu to avenge Dong Zhuo, and he didn't even dare to sigh like Cai Zhonglang, Lu Bu died at the hands of Cao Cao, he turned around and took refuge in Cao Cao, and never dared to have half sympathy for Lu Bu again. He didn't even dare to say anything about his family.

"Lord Fengxian also has the merit of eliminating national thieves and stabilizing the Han family, but what about me? What credit have I made over the years? I have been staying here in Huainan for more than ten years, and I originally thought that although I had many defeats, I at least kept the southern gate of Wei, but now that Huainan has been lost, there are only a few hundred people left in this tens of thousands of troops, is this the result of my thirteen years of hard work?

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh deeply. He arched his hand and said: "What Miss said is that Liao Wei doesn't care about right and wrong for all his life. Repeatedly committed to the country thief, not worthy of being called loyal at all, Liao was favored by Wen Hou, but he has not been able to say a word of greeting in the past thirteen years, Liao is ashamed of Miss, ashamed of Mrs. Ashamed of Wen Hou, I had to apologize for my death today, hoping that after seeing Wen Hou under Jiuquan, I could get his forgiveness. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Liao actually pulled out the sword at his waist and prepared to kill himself.

At this time, only the sound of breaking the sky could be heard. The sword in his hand was swept away a little, and the long sword deviated from its direction and slashed into the shoulder blade, only to see that part of the shoulder blade was bleeding profusely, and it quickly stained his robe.

Zhang Liao looked at Lu Lingqi, who slowly lowered the bow in his hand, and was slightly surprised in his heart, because he didn't expect that the eldest lady of the Lu family's martial arts would be so good, compared with thirteen years ago, there was a world of difference, in such a short period of time when he swung his sword to kill himself, he took the bow, set up the arrow, aimed, and shot this series of actions in one go, like a peer, not only the accuracy is amazing, but even the strength is definitely not small, otherwise how can he swing the long sword in his hand?

"Liao is willing to seek death, why should Miss rescue? How can Liao be worthy of Miss like this? Zhang Liao couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed softly.

Lu Lingqi looked at Zhang Liao in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, she didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so inflexible, looking for death and life at every turn, sometimes she really wanted to leave and stop caring about him, but she remembered the entrustment of her husband Liu Qi, and at the same time remembered the old feelings, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It turned out that Lu Bu was defeated in Chang'an, and only took more than 100 horsemen out of Wuguan in a hurry, without taking care of his family at all, but fortunately, Zhang Liao led more than a dozen warriors to sneak into Chang'an, and then took Lu Lingqi's mother and daughter out of Chang'an, and sent them to Lu Bu's side.

If there is no Zhang Liao, I am afraid that it will be difficult for their mother and daughter to have a chance to see Lu Bu again, and even if they escape from Wuguan, they will definitely be snatched away or killed by the displaced people along the way.

Therefore, she has always been very grateful to Zhang Liao, although she is only ten years younger than him, she respects him as an elder.

But today, seeing this stubborn and a little stupid Zhang Liao, she had an angry look on her face, and she just reprimanded him sharply, and he was about to use a knife to wipe his neck.

Therefore, originally she was just pretending to be angry, but after seeing the scene where Zhang Liao wanted to commit suicide, she was really angry.

But since Zhang Liao had already had thoughts of suicide, Lu Lingqi didn't dare to force him with words anymore, because she was afraid that she would say too much and really force him to death, which would be troublesome, so she grabbed it and pressed her anger and said slowly: "Zhang Wenyuan, I finally called you Uncle Zhang, I really didn't expect you to become like this in the past thirteen years, a dignified man, and a commander, you actually imitate those little children, wipe your neck at every turn, in fact, think about it, what if you die?" What should you say when people judge you? Will you be praised for being a good man who knows the general situation and knows loyalty? The so-called prodigal son does not change his money, and it is not too late to make amends, Uncle Zhang is in his prime, and he has a body of literature and martial arts, why not use it to support the Han family and benefit the people? As long as you make great contributions to the Han family, who will never forget the stain of serving the national thief? ”

Zhang Liao was also silent when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said with a wry smile: "But if the son is in Luoyang today, the king of Wei gathers heavy troops to guard, Hugh said that Liao is now all scattered, even if there are tens of thousands of troops like in Huainan, it is impossible to attack Luoyang to rescue the Son of Heaven, even if Liao has the heart to protect the Son of Heaven, where is such strength?" ”

"Hehe, Uncle Zhang, thanks to your unparalleled wisdom and wisdom, why are you so confused now? Although the Son of Heaven is in Luoyang, it is difficult for the Han family to recover in a short period of time, but the King of Chu, as a relative of the Han family, has been restoring the Han family for so many years and helping the people as his own responsibility, and now the army of the King of Chu is Lianke Yingchuan, Runan, Qianjun, Huainan and other places, the army of Zhou Yu and Gan Ning, the general under the command of the King of Chu, is storming Hangu Pass, although the pass defense is strong, but it can not support for long, the King of Chu reorganizes his troops, and unites the troops of Runan and Qianjun to attack Yang Zhai garrisoned by Cao Hong, even if Sima Yi is wise, he cannot make up for the absolute gap in strength, Tell me, is the revival of the Han dynasty still far away? As long as you take refuge in the King of Chu, and then assist the King of Chu to sweep away the world's murderers and restore the rivers and mountains of my Han family, who else will say nothing to you? ”

"But ......" Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the generals around him, and then whispered: "Who can guarantee that the King of Chu welcomes back the Son of Heaven, not another Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao?" By the time I find out that I have committed myself to the thieves for the third time, I am afraid that even death will not be able to prove my innocence. ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Lingqi and all the generals around him sneered, looking at Zhang Liao like an idiot.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhang Liao was slightly stunned, and then asked casually.

I heard Xu Shu, the Yangzhou assassin of the Chu army, say: "Hehe, I am naturally waiting because you are talking ridiculously, our King of Chu is a relative of the Han family, even if it is legal to inherit the throne, how can he become a national thief?" What's more, the king of Chu has always been respectful and courteous to the Son of Heaven, until now, although he is a very popular minister, if he is much stronger than Cao Cao in terms of strength, but he has never taken the initiative to ask for any privileges, and he has never exceeded the etiquette system. What's more, my king has made such a great contribution to the Han family, why can't he be called the king? ”

Xu Shu slowed down, and then said indignantly: "On the contrary, it was the Cao thief who repeatedly broke the oath of the White Horse Alliance of Emperor Gaozu, forced the Son of Heaven to violate the ancestral precept of 'no one who is not the Liu family must be king', respected him as the king, and even forced the Son of Heaven to make his daughter the queen, and then took the initiative to execute the original queen, and also killed the prince, such a heinous act, heaven and earth do not tolerate it, and people and gods abandon it." In addition, Cao Cao also forced the Son of Heaven to allow him to be crowned two times out of ten, take a golden root car, drive six horses, and set up a five-hour auxiliary car, what is the difference between relying on the Son of Heaven? If it weren't for the constraints of King Chu, I'm afraid he would have kicked the Son of Heaven away and proclaimed himself emperor. Although the king of Chu and Cao Thief were both crowned kings, but who is right and which is wrong, sometimes everyone in the world knows it, is it only Wen Yuan who can't see it clearly? ”

Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, and looked at all the generals around him and nodded, with a look of deep disapproval, the embankment in his heart suddenly collapsed, but then he heard Xu Shu whisper in his ear: "Emperor Guangwu is not a descendant of the filial piety emperor, but what he created is still the Han Dynasty, it is precisely because of his wisdom and martial arts that the national Zuo has been extended for more than 200 years. Although Emperor Guangwu replaced the first emperor, who said that he was a thief? Even if you are today, it is just Dong Zhuo's abolishment of the merit, if you really want to be loyal to the Han family, do you want to be loyal to the young emperor? You must know that the people and the ministers are loyal to the Han dynasty, not a puppet who is unable to keep the world. ”

Zhang Liao thought silently for a long time, and finally suddenly became enlightened, suddenly opened his mouth, sighed slowly, and then bowed down and said: "Zhang Liao is willing to surrender to the king of Chu and help protect the Han family." (To be continued......)
