Liu Zhang read the names one by one: "County Cheng Zhang Mo, the government treasury order Jin Xiang, the county lieutenant Hong Bai, Dongcheng Ling Wang Yuan ......" Liu Zhang read more than a dozen names in a row, and then said to Gong Zhi: "These people are not bad, gather them all, and the official will reward them at the banquet tonight." ”

Gong Zhi heard that these were all people inserted by Zhao Wei, each of them was a key department, if it was said that Fucheng Dazhi was their credit and said in the past, Gong Zhi secretly complained in his heart, he was about to be hollowed out by these Zhao Yun and his party, if Liu Zhang promoted them again, his county order would really not be appropriate, but seeing that Liu Zhang's attitude of rewarding them was very resolute, Gong Zhi could only obey his fate.

At the banquet in the evening, Liu Zhang raised his glass and said to the civil and martial arts of Fucheng: "Fucheng Dazhi, everyone has worked hard and made great achievements, and this official respects you with a glass." ”

"Thank you, Lord." Zhang Mo, Hong Bai and others stood up together.

Liu Zhang drank a glass of wine, and sighed to everyone: "This official has been staying in Chengdu, has not been to the county to inspect, today to Fucheng, only to know that buried all the great sages, with your talent to succumb to the small Fucheng, the official's fault, the official now has to repay your Geng Geng loyalty, the county Cheng Zhang Mo, governance Fucheng, the people are solid and rich, promoted to Chengdu County Cheng, Fucheng defense is impregnable, the county lieutenant Hong Bai is indispensable, promoted to general, Dongcheng order Wang Yuan ......"

Liu Zhang was rewarded one after another, and some jumped several levels at once, these people have been notified by Zhao Wei and asked them to do their internal response tomorrow, but now when they hear Liu Zhang's reward, they actually regret following Zhao Wei a little, but this kind of thought is also fleeting, Liu Zhang's reward and punishment are unknown, but Zhang Mo and others look down on it.

Hong Bai stepped forward and said: "Thank you Lord for the reward, these are all things within the responsibility of the subordinates, the subordinates are not strong enough to drink, and they will patrol the city tonight, please declare the guilt." ”

"Huh?" Liu Zhang stood up and sighed loudly: "Lieutenant Hong is really loyal to his duties, and he is a model for my Yizhou officials, so that this official can't treat Lieutenant Hong County badly, Lieutenant Hong County can rest assured to drink and feast today, don't worry about the city defense, tomorrow when General Zhao arrives, this official will praise Lieutenant Hong for his spirit of sacrificing himself for the public in front of the three armies and the people." ”

Liu Zhang said this, and said to Zhang Ren beside him: "General Zhang, do you see it, you have to learn from the military attache of Fucheng, you can't be blindly arrogant, the matter of the city defense will be handed over to you tonight, first, let the county lieutenant Hong and others relax, and second, you can also take a good look at the defense of Fucheng and learn from the experience, you know?" ”

Zhang Ren took a step forward and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely study hard and not be blindly arrogant." After speaking, he beckoned out to a few henchmen, Hong Bai was about to say something, but Liu Zhang walked to the main seat with his hand, and it was another good compliment, Fa Zheng, who was accompanying the banquet, took a sip of wine, and said with a chuckle: "A good one to feed the dog and pull out the teeth." ”

At this time, Fa Zheng finally affirmed that Liu Zhang was going to make a big move against Zhao Wei, and at the same time, a passion rose in his heart, if the lord had great ambitions, as a subordinate, he would definitely do something.

Zhang Ren and several generals walked out of the gate and immediately said: "Gao Pei, lead the 100th Army to the South Gate to take over the city defense, Leng Bao leads the 100th Army to the North Gate, Deng Xian goes to the West Gate, and Yang Huai goes to the East Gate." ”

"Yes." The four of them took the order and left.

"Liu Xuan." Zhang Ren called.

"The end will be." A young general stepped forward.

"Lead a thousand soldiers to take over the power of the guards in the city, all the guards must be replaced by our men before dawn, the original soldiers in Fucheng are scattered and concentrated, but those who resist, kill."

"Yes." Liu Xuan took the order and left.

After Zhang Ren gave the order, he returned to his normal color and entered the lobby, and stood beside Liu Zhang with his sword as if nothing happened, Liu Zhang was drinking happily with Hong Bai, Zhang Mo and others, and Wang Lei had already taken the soldiers to take over the treasury of Fucheng.

On the second day, Liu Zhang led all the civil and military forces to the east city to welcome Zhao Wei into the city, Liu Zhang put a chair on the city wall, and sat upright.

Zhang Ren stood beside Liu Zhang, behind him were Yu An and other Chengdu officials and Gong Zhi, Zhang Mo and other Fucheng officials, Zhang Mo, Hong Bai and other people were dry, waiting for Zhao Wei's banner to appear in the field of vision.

Hong Bai was a little nervous in his heart, the military power of Fucheng was no longer in his hands, and he couldn't do it inside, but looking at the more than 100 army carts placed at the city gate, Hong Bai was slightly relieved, at least Liu Zhang didn't notice it, when Zhao Wei's army entered the city, it would be the same whether there was any internal response.

The scorching sun was in the sky, Liu Zhang waited patiently for Zhao Wei, Yu An was about to fall asleep in the warm sun, secretly laughing at Liu Zhang's stupidity, the sun passed noon, a big banner with the word "Zhao" appeared in the distance, and then the black cavalry team appeared, and Zhao Wei's army finally came.

Several fast horses galloped over, and the first general shouted to the city: "General Zhao Wei's army has returned, and the city is open quickly." ”

Yang Huai, the guard of the East City, stepped forward and said, "Didn't you see Lord Zhou Mu on the city wall?" Ask General Zhao to come and meet him in person. ”

The cavalry general hesitated, turned his horse and galloped back, and after a while, Zhao Wei arrived at the city with three thousand cavalry, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Wei greets the lord, the army is tired, please order the opening of the city." ”

Liu Zhang sat on the chair, closed his eyes and said to Yang Huai: "Let Zhao Wei's army retreat five miles, and Zhao Wei will go into the city alone to meet him." ”

"Yes." Yang Huai turned around and walked to the wall, and shouted to Zhao Wei: "The lord has an order, General Zhao's army retreats five miles to rest, and the lord's own army supplies are delivered, and General Zhao immediately enters the city to meet the lord." ”

When Zhang Mo and Hong Bai heard this, they couldn't help but panic a little, and said something in their ears, Yu An was anxious for a while, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to come with such a hand.

"What?" Zhao Wei under the city was also surprised, in order to remove Liu Zhang's precautionary heart, he only brought 3,000 elite cavalry, and tens of thousands of troops behind him were five miles away, but he didn't expect Liu Zhang to still not believe in himself.

Zhao Wei shouted loudly: "The guards in the city listen, the army has been fighting with the barbarian army for days, tired, and marching overnight, if you are not allowed to enter the city, I am afraid that the army is unstable, please order the opening of the city, the heart of the Mohan soldiers, in vain." ”

Zhao Wei implied a threat, if Liu Zhang had been afraid before, Yu An took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Lord, what General Zhao said is reasonable, if you don't let the soldiers into the city, the soldiers will complain, these arrogant soldiers who don't know how to be polite are afraid that something will happen, if there is a mutiny, it will be difficult to clean up." ”

"yes, yes." Zhang Mo, Hong Bai and others echoed for a while.

Liu Zhang bowed his head lightly and said calmly: "Who else agrees with General Zhao's army entering the city to comfort the hearts of the soldiers?" ”

Fucheng Mansion Treasury Order, Dongcheng Order and others stood up to express their agreement, Liu Zhang asked Gong Zhi again, Gong Zhi hesitated for a moment and said: "Lord, the lower officials feel that it is not important to retreat five miles, as long as our army supplies are delivered in time, it should not cause a mutiny, but so many people enter the city together, it is not easy to arrange." ”

Gong Zhi was proud of the officials promoted by Zhao Wei in his heart, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and he did not speak with Zhao Yun and his party.

After listening to the words of the officials, Liu Zhang nodded to Zhang Ren, and Zhang Ren immediately shouted: "Come on, arrest all the officials who agree with Zhao Wei's rebels entering the city." ”
